It turned out that the officials and businessmen of Minzhou had colluded for many years, and even openly used the military power to escort them, selling jadeite and jade and other illicit goods from the southwest border into the mainland. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 After the governor of Minzhou took office, he noticed this matter, and found that many local officials in Minzhou were involved, and he did not dare to act rashly, so he drafted a recital to return to Emperor Jing Kang. Local forces such as the Minzhou Inspectorate were alarmed, so they joined forces to create a tragedy.

Wang Heng took out the sword of the Son of Heaven and asked for a forbidden army under the command of the White Tiger King—whose general was a member of the family of the Marquis of Zhongyi, who knew Wang Heng—and controlled the officials involved in the case by thunderous means, and carried out a major purge of Minzhou officialdom.

There were too many officials who had fallen from power, so Wang Heng went to the court and asked the officials to arrange for officials to fill the vacancies, and on the other hand, he assisted the remaining officials to stabilize the local officials in Minzhou.

Waiting for the Minzhou matter, it has been two months.

Wang Heng made great contributions again, the scenery was still in the dynasty, and his reputation went to a higher level, and many ladies in Beijing thought about it from afar, so they waited for him to come back and find a way to get close to him and win his favor. As soon as he arrived in the capital, he heard that there were floods in several states in the south of the Yangtze River, Huizhou was among them, and Qianxian County was the hardest hit area.

Where can he sit still, he will go to Huizhou immediately.

You can't go empty-handed, you have to bring disaster relief money!

The next morning, Wang Heng met Meng Yuanxiang outside the Qianyuan Palace, and smiled coldly.

Meng Yuanxiang only glanced at him, then lowered his eyelids and ignored it, but his heart was raised, and he had to admit that he was very jealous of this kid.

Today, what tricks will Wang Heng make?

After entering the palace, Wang Heng played to Emperor Jing Kang: "When Weichen arrived in Minzhou, he found that someone was spreading the news that Weichen was going to Minzhou to investigate the case in the restaurant and tea shop, and he sent someone to assassinate Weichen halfway with the murderer. ”

Emperor Jing Kangdi was surprised: "Can you find out who it is?"

Wang Heng said: "That person helped Weichen, and let Weichen find out the real culprit behind the governor's case." As for the spreaders, there are a few merchants. After interrogation, it was learned that one of them was a distant relative of Meng Yushi. ”

Emperor Jing Kang's face sank, and his eyes looked at Meng Yuanxiang sternly.

He can turn a blind eye to the family disputes between Wang and Meng, but if someone openly persecuts the court officials, he will not tolerate it!

Meng Yuanxiang hurriedly came out of the ranks, saying that he had never sent someone to Minzhou to ask the emperor to make a holy judgment.

Emperor Jing Kangdi said coldly: "You mean, this is a coincidence?"

Meng Yuanxiang said in fear: "Weichen doesn't dare to defend himself, please ask the emperor to judge!"

Wang Heng hurriedly said: "The emperor is angry. Weichen didn't dare to speculate, for fear of being said to be a villain's heart and a gentleman's belly, so he brought those merchants back and handed them over to Dali Temple for interrogation. Weichen believes that it is inconvenient for the Criminal Department to intervene in this matter. ”

Emperor Jing Kang said in a deep voice: "Quasi-play!"

Dali Siqing hurriedly stepped forward to receive the order.

Meng Yuanxiang retreated calmly, but his hands under his sleeves were clenched.

He asked the steward of the relative's house who turned a few corners and a few unrelated merchants to go to Minzhou together, and when gossiping after tea and dinner, he said that the imperial court sent Wang Heng to Minzhou to investigate the case of the governor and destroy the door, and praised Wang Heng how to try the case, and the shock of the capital, etc., this is a common thing for the people in the market, and Dali Temple can not judge.

Wang Heng's move can't do anything to him.

The little brute is purely trying to discredit him!

Imagine: Someone went to Minzhou to spread the news, and this person is related to his Meng family, and then someone assassinated Wang Heng, who doesn't suspect that he instigated it?

First of all, the emperor will suspect him.

Colleagues will also be suspicious of him.

But he had no choice, because Wang Heng didn't accuse him, Wang Heng just asked Dali Temple to interrogate those merchants, did he have to take the initiative to jump out and explain?

Some things, the more you describe them, the darker they become!

He thought angrily: "This little beast is too insidious!" In his anger, he heard Wang Heng say to the emperor that he would provide disaster relief to several states in the south of the Yangtze River.

Emperor Jing Kang nodded and said, "I have this intention. ”

He then ordered Jin Shangshu to allocate 2 million to Huizhou.

Jin Shangshu said that the household money was tight, so he could only allocate 500,000 yuan to Huizhou.

Su Xiang frowned and said that 500,000 was too little, at least two million should be allocated.

Wang Heng also immediately retorted that a few months ago, he had heard him report to the emperor about the income and expenditure of the national treasury, saying that there was still a balance of 10 million taels of silver in the treasury, could it be that it was spent?

Jin Shangshu sneered: "It's really not a good family and don't know the price of firewood and rice! Wang Shilang only knows that 10 million taels is a lot, but I know that my Dajing territory far exceeds that of the Tang and Han dynasties, and the annual treasury income is more and the expenditure is more, so Wang Shilang only sees that Qianxian County, Huizhou needs to allocate silver?"

He is ridiculing Wang Heng: although he is good at criminal investigation and compiling literature and history, he doesn't understand the economy, and he has been raised with indulgence since childhood, where will he settle accounts and live; he even ridiculed Wang Heng for only Qianxian in his eyes, and asking for disaster relief is actually for Liang Xinming, a male pet.

Wang Heng sneered: "What does Jin Shangshu mean is that at a time when the people of Jiangnan are displaced and starving, the imperial court is going to stand by and watch?"

After that, he turned to Meng Yuanxiang and asked, "What does Lord Meng think? Liang Xinming, the county magistrate of Qianxian County, Huizhou, but it was only released because of what the Lord said at the beginning. When he first entered the official career, he didn't have a disaster relief bank, so how could he lead the people through the disaster?"

Meng Yuanxiang raised his head suddenly and looked at Wang Heng.

Wang Heng seemed to be smiling, waiting for him to answer.

Jin Shangshu also waited, determined that Meng Yuanxiang would be on his side.

Meng Yuanxiang only paused for a moment, and then replied: "This official thinks that he should go all out for disaster relief. As Su Xiang said, at least two million should be allocated to Huizhou. ”

Jin Shangshu was stunned, unable to believe his ears.

He said angrily: "Which state in Dajing does not want silver? Yunzhou in the north is in drought; there is war in the border of Selangor Prefecture in the southwest; water conservancy is being built in Minzhou; Huzhou and Linhu Prefecture are suffering from floods at the same time; and the flood in Huizhou is only one of them, so is it true that only the people of Huizhou are valued, and the people of other prefectures are not the people of Dajing? In addition, the northern Anguo is ready to move, and the princes of King Xuanwu and King Suzaku have long been in the imperial court and are ready to fight at any time. The cost of the great war is immeasurable!"

Emperor Jing Kang couldn't help but hesitate.

Jin Shangshu was secretly proud -- he was the head of Dajing's household department! Those who don't understand economics should not shout here; those who understand economics should first solve the problems in these prefectures, and then talk about disaster relief in Huizhou.

Wang Henglang said: "The drought in Yunzhou is just beginning to emerge, if it rains in half a month, there may not be no harvest in autumn; even if there is another month of drought, the disaster will break out after a month, and it is not as urgent as the flood in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Minzhou needs 1.5 million taels of silver to build water conservancy, and the governor's case of destroying the door confiscated the wealth of seven officials and filled it into the treasury of more than 6 million taels, which is enough.

"Selangor is far away, and it is best to raise military armaments from the surrounding areas, and Minzhou has more than 6 million taels in storage, which can support 2 million goods to Selangor.

"The floods in Huzhou and Linhu Prefecture are not as serious as Huizhou, and every year on July 1, the brocade conference is held, and the world's brocade merchants gather in Huzhou, but whenever there is a disaster in the two states, the businessmen will donate, and there is no need for the imperial court to allocate funds.

Therefore, only Huizhou urgently waited for the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief. If it weren't for the fear of war in the north, two million disaster relief would be too little, let alone three million.

"There are 10 million taels left in the treasury, and the commercial tax will be put into the treasury in the first half of the year, and the agricultural tax will be put into the treasury in three months, which is enough to cope with the war with Angola. Another point is very important: At present, we must put down the disaster situation in Jiangnan in a timely manner and calm the people's minds, otherwise once a war breaks out in the north, we will be in danger of internal and external troubles!"
