One hundred and eighty-nine: borrowed a knife
Old Lady Chen's case was really tried very quickly as the Song family guessed, Meng Jiming has always known very well to follow the direction of the wind in the court, and now it is obvious that Old Lady Chen's family is about to completely collapse, he used to register with Emperor Jianzhang again, and it can be said that he is not unsuccessful in handling this case, and even how heavy the gold box sent by Old Lady Chen is, he has measured it and reported it carefully. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The court officials disregarded human life and fake public welfare for personal gain, and also interfered in local government affairs, trying to threaten and bribe the prefect of one party.
Waiting for Emperor Jianzhang's reply to be moved, Meng Jiming wiped the sweat on his forehead, fortunately his eyes were bright this time, and he didn't run to block others, otherwise wouldn't he dig a hole for himself?
However, the Hubu Shangshu has not been very happy recently, and they all say that Huangjue Temple is a royal temple, and there are quite a lot of land circles that are enshrined, and it should be rich and oily, but the things copied out of Huangjue Temple are only more than 60,000 taels of silver, which is really much lower than expected, and the old lady Chen needless to say, the old fox is probably ready for a long time, and the person who can send a gold box to Tang Mingzhao's hand-copied person, the family actually only copied out 30,000 taels of silver, which is really incomprehensible, and he has been a little wilted when he went to court these days, The silver of the household department has never been enough, and the autumn tax collection looks like a lot, but when it goes to the northwest of Fujian, it will be stretched again, not to mention that the Jiujiang incident has been added this year, and the household department is so worried that his hair is gray.
When he waited for the next dynasty, he walked with Song Chengwei, and Song Chengwei smiled when he saw him looking listless: "Recently, you have copied so many houses, why do you still look lifeless?" ”
The surname of the household department is Zheng, called Zheng Sansi, he didn't think twice at the moment, and smiled bitterly at Song Chengwei: "Song Gong still makes fun of me, who knows where the silver of Huangjue Temple and the Chen family went, when giving gifts, it was spent like a flowing water, but there was only so much copied out, what is enough?" Jiujiang reported a gap of 200,000! How do you fill this in?! ”
Speaking of this, I can't help but scold the prefect of Jiujiang and Jiangxi officialdom, Yuzhang prefect also came to the capital last year for the flood of Poyang Lake and begged for 100,000 taels of silver, but in the end nothing was done, this year Poyang Lake is still flooded, and the houses have to be rebuilt, and the Jiujiang side is not much better, last year the embankment was repaired and the ancestral hall was approved for a total of 250,000 taels of silver, but the water splash did not hear one, and this year there was another accident, and it was reported that 200,000 taels of silver were rebuilt after the disaster, which is really...... Zheng Sansi complained a few words in his heart, feeling that Jiangxi officialdom was really rotten.
But Zheng Sansi thought about it again and again, and he couldn't mention it, after all, now this black cauldron has been completely pushed to Cui Yingshu, and this left waiter of the Ministry of Industry is indeed a bad fate, who told him to go to Jiangxi that piece, even if the officials of that piece are good, they will learn badly when they go there, only those who are greedy in a hurry, and there is no one who can be good alone. You Cui Yingshu want to help the people do practical things, won't that get in the way of others? People don't pit you, a ready-made wrongdoer, who will they pit?
Song Chengwei also came from the Hubu Shangshu, and he seemed to feel the same way when he heard the words: "No, everyone thinks that the Hubu is a money bag, but the Hubu Shangshu will not make money." You're worried now, how will you spend your days at the end of the year? There are wars in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the northwest side will have to pay salaries at the end of the year, so it will not be too late to worry at that time. ”
Zheng Sansi suddenly felt a toothache, others do not say that they are fat and oily, and finally life is prosperous, he is unlucky, as soon as he takes office, there will be accidents one after another, Fujian is rampant, military spending is indispensable, and Guo Huaiying's group of people are not allowed to go to the capital to eat and flake people alive? That splash would dare to do anything. The northwest side is even more delayed---- one to be deducted in private, and they were found out by the imperial history that they couldn't work to participate in a book, and the floods of the Yellow River in the past two years, and the rebellion of Ma Yuantong in front of him, the household department was simply tight every day.
In the past, I didn't dare to do those things that intercepted the flow, not to mention the bottom, he couldn't touch much filial piety silver in this book, it really made people angry, the most angry thing was Jiujiang, in the past, he approved 100,000 taels, so he left three or four thousand silver over there to make a point, and now they have to give as much as they want, otherwise they will make trouble, and the entire Jiangxi officialdom will make trouble together, I am really fed up with the anger of these grandsons!
"I heard that Cui Shilang has entered the Criminal Department?" Zheng Sansi grinded his teeth and asked Song Chengwei: "I don't know what the trend of Cui Shilang's case is." As he spoke, he shook his head again: "If you want me to say, Cui Shilang is no longer such a corrupt person." The Jiujiang embankment bursts every year, but this time Cui Shilang was just in a hurry......"
Song Chengwei smiled slightly, didn't say more, went home and changed into regular clothes, and had dinner with Mrs. Song before taking Song Chuyi and Song Jue to the study.
Mr. Chang and Mr. Ying had already been waiting, and when they saw that they were busy getting up to salute and seeing each other, they sat down again.
"Xiaoyi is right, everyone actually knows about Jiujiang...... It's just that no one has broken it. He said what Zheng Sansi said when he saw Zheng Sansi today: "Those people are insatiable, their appetite is getting bigger and bigger year by year, and even the usual filial piety to the household department is gone, and they are so insatiable that they don't even look at the household department anymore, Zheng Sansi has a stomach full of anger towards them in his heart." ”
Zheng Sansi is like this, there should be a tongue up and down the household, what is the place to go? It's a place to deal with silver, and which of the people who stay there is a fuel-efficient lamp? Once or twice, you didn't honor them, and you still gave you small shoes to wear, let alone three times, four times, five times? In the past, there was no chance, but once you seize the opportunity, they won't step you to death?
Mr. Chang glanced at Song Chuyi, and the beard on his chin curled up one by one: "What does Miss Six mean, is it to provoke the people from the household department to jump out and make trouble?" He shook his head again: "I'm afraid this is not appropriate, Lord Zheng is a person who is very good at judging the situation......"
Now the situation is obviously unfavorable to Cui Yingshu, even if he knows that his interests are damaged, he will not come out to offend Jiangxi officialdom.
