looked at the two people with embarrassed faces after listening to their own meaning. Huang Qiong also knows that the pressure on both of them is very high now. Some people didn't dare to come to find themselves, so they all ran to the prefect's yamen. What Huang Qiong knows better is that the clan may not be the only one who wants to meddle in Zhengzhou now. Liu Hu went to the street before and saw the second head of Shangshu Zuocheng's house and entered the prefect's yamen.

Huang Qiong didn't expect that she would go on a killing spree, but she just let some lower-grade officials stop it. Those clans who have the intention to intervene do not dare to be too unscrupulous. But those important ministers in the court didn't take it seriously at all. Both of them are officials in the court, how dare those important ministers in the court be easily offended?

Although the pedantic and old-fashioned Su Jin finally had some changes, which made Huang Qiong happy for him. But at this time, this kind of change is not what Huang Qiong likes and needs. After thinking about it, Huang Qiong said: "This is just the words of this king's family, if you have any ideas, you can say it directly." Three stinkers, and a Zhuge Liang. ”

"If there are any difficulties that need to be solved by this king, can you also ask for a price? Don't say that this king won't give you this opportunity, there is something to open up to say today. After this village, there will be no Ming'er shop. The statute has been set, and if there is any deviation in the implementation, the king can settle accounts with the two of you. ”

Huang Qiong's words fell, and after Su Jin and Jian Yong glanced at each other, they gritted their teeth and said, "Lord Wang, now in the Zhengzhou Mansion, the poor can starve to death mice." Seeing that after the autumn harvest, it is time to remediate the river again. But at present, Zhengzhou Mansion, not to mention that it can't get the money from Hegong, even the next month's food and salary for the subordinate officials have not yet been settled. ”

"The emperor has now exempted Zhengzhou's taxes, not to mention that there is no autumn tax, even next year's tax will not be settled. But as soon as this yamen opened, money was needed everywhere. The money and food of the guards borne by the river workers and the government officials, and the food and salary of the officials in the government. This does not include the money and food needed to dismiss the rebels. Let's see, will you sell those fields that can prove that the original owner is not there? ”

"Don't make restrictions on household registration for people who buy land? After all, the people's livelihood in Zhengzhou is withering, and there are not many people who can afford land. At present, the Zhengzhou treasury is empty, and it has reached the point where it is unsustainable. The prince, the minister and Jian Tongzhi discussed that if the land that had been sold was returned, the original owner would return. Part of the money and goods will be allocated by the government treasury for a certain amount of compensation. ”

"It's a bit unorthodox to do this, but the problem is that if they don't return, can't these lands just be abandoned? The most important thing is that that part of the land has been sold by the government, which can at least solve some of the urgent needs. The prince, the ministers, etc., there is no way to do it. At present, there are two important things in Zhengzhou, one is this year's autumn harvest, and the other is the river workers of the Yellow River. ”

"The autumn harvest is not a big problem, but this river work cannot be delayed. Although the money and grain required for this river work are customary, the court pays sixty percent. But when sixty percent of the court will be allocated, no one dares to guarantee. Especially this year, there is a drought in Longyou and Shaanxi, and it is even more difficult for the imperial court to enter the project. What's more, if it is??? ”

Looking at Su Jin, who was silent when he said this, Huang Qiong nodded slightly: "I know that I have to think about the problem comprehensively, and I have improved compared to when I was in the British Palace, which is very good." This king also knows that you are in a very difficult situation at the moment, not only is the Zhengzhou Mansion empty treasury, but also the door of your mansion cannot be opened. Not only the surrounding clans, but also the senior officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee handed notes and wrote letters. ”

"However, this opening cannot be opened. First, even if it is at least superficial, it is necessary to put on a fair attitude now. Otherwise, if someone has a heart instigates, the people's will will boil. Second, I will also give you less trouble in the future, after all, a year is not a long time compared to your term. You can't try to save trouble now, and next year you will be found to be accountable. ”

"One of you was born in the history of the British king's mansion, and the other was preserved by this king, and in the eyes of others, you are all the king's people now. There are definitely not a few people in the court and the palace who are staring at you to find fault. Even if it is for your sake, this handle must not be left to others. This king is not afraid of being implicated by you, but this king does not want to lose two helpers in vain. ”

"Third, do you think it is enough to satisfy the greed of some people? Have you forgotten that there is no end to human greed? As the saying goes, flies don't bite seamless eggs, and once this opening is opened, it will be difficult to collect it in the future. Remember a sentence, the common people will rebel if they don't have enough to eat. When the time comes, the situation that has finally stabilized will not be able to erode again. ”

"The current situation in Zhengzhou, if it is in chaos, it is not the current situation. This time it was the civil strife of the Heavenly Family, and King Jing had been tyrannical in Zhengzhou over the years, and he had already lost the hearts of the people. Except for a few ambitious people, there was no one among the people who responded. But if the people's hearts are unstable, they feel that the court is unfair. Someone climbs up and shouts, what should you do? ”

"If this opening is opened, who can guarantee that the people below will not do things out of shape? You are all people who have been officials for more than ten years, and there are some things that the king does not say, and you understand. As long as this opening is opened a little, those filthy officials will dare to tear a bigger one. This king used more than 100 heads to reluctantly suppress the boiling resentment in Zhengzhou. ”

"If during the execution, a crooked-mouthed monk recites the scriptures, and it is not clear that Zhengzhou will be a dry firewood again. As for money and food, this king will find a way for you. However, the number will not be too much, and I can only give you an emergency for the time being. However, although the father said that the emperor exempted Zhengzhou from money and food for three years, it was not that there was no way at all. ”

"This Wang Guan Zhengzhou Mansion governs here, and other shops have little business, only Qinglou Washe, but the business is prosperous. Those who go to that kind of place to play are rich local tyrants. Can you start there and figure out how to collect some money? Especially those big brothels, the annual income is a lot, and some taxes should still be collected.

"Don't worry about the criticism of making money on your head, as long as you are dedicated to the public, no one dares to say anything about you. Open source and reduce expenditure is the norm, otherwise even if the emperor does not exempt Zhengzhou from money and grain, according to the current situation in Zhengzhou, unless an official forces the people to rebel, there is no place for you to collect it. ”

In addition, Zhengzhou has always been the key to the water and drought of Henan Road, and every year it passes through here, and there are countless merchants who transport goods to Jingzhao and Northwest. A small tiger prison Guan Tongzhi can think of scraping oil from the business travel, as a local parent official, can't you think of a way? Of course, this is nothing more than a stopgap measure. ”

"Once the Zhengzhou government recovers, these things can no longer be done. But for now, we can still start from these aspects. Don't worry about anything, as long as the money you receive doesn't reach your own pocket, the king will bear everything for you. This king has only one request for you, that is, within three years, Zhengzhou will not close your door at night. ”

Huang Qiong's voice fell, and Su Jin and Jian Yong also knew that their original plan was basically impossible. After the two of them glanced at each other, they could only nod in agreement. After the two left, looking at the backs of the two, Huang Qiong sighed softly, and the two still thought about things too simply.

Su Jin and Jian Yong's difficulties, how can Huang Qiong not know? As a magistrate, Shangfeng still needs to be dotted, otherwise good things can become bad things. Not to mention anything else, it is too easy for the household department and the Ministry of Industry to drag you for half a year for the money and food needed by a Yellow River worker. This year coincides with the severe drought in the northwest, and even the excuses are ready-made.

The Ministry of Household and the Ministry of Industry can find excuses to delay your money and food, but no one dares to delay this river worker. Otherwise, once the spring flood comes down next year, it will not be just a matter of taking off the hat. If the losses are too great, the people's grievances are too boiling. Presumably, some people in the DPRK do not mind using the heads of the two of them to prevaricate public opinion.

Especially now, whether they want to or not, they all have an English word on them. He went on a killing spree in Zhengzhou, killing more than 100 officials in one go, and there were more people offended by the court. Some people can't do things, but there is a set of finding faults and fixing people behind them. If you can't fix yourself, you may not dare to attack the two of them. At this time, you must not leave a handle on others.

As for the money and food needed, this is easy to do. So many officials' homes were raided, and only the homes of the Zhengzhou prefect and the Zhengzhou soldiers and horses were enough to meet the money and food needed by the Zhengzhou river workers this year. But what he can do now is only to allocate enough money and food for the river workers. No matter how much it is, it may not be a good thing for these two. Besides, if you don't force them, then you know that it's not easy to get money?

Thinking of this, Huang Qiong shook her head slightly. He knew that the previous idea must have come up with Jian Yong. It is only after serving in the local government for many years that he can come up with such an idea that can not be offended on both sides. As for Su Jin, at most, he was said to be moved, and he just followed. Su Jin, who has been in the Hanlin Academy for nearly twenty years and has never let go, does not have this ability.

When he chose him as the prefect of Zhengzhou, did he fulfill him or harm him? We'll have to wait and see. As for the future, I'm afraid that Jian Yong, who is full of words and does not want to be a loyal minister, but only thinks about being a famous minister, will go further than him. However, it has finally opened some. I know what to do as a magistrate. At this point, change is much better than not changing.

Seeing off Su Jin and Jian Yong, Huang Qiong did not return to the study. only took Liu Hu and walked around King Jing's mansion. It has been a while since the Jingwang Mansion was set up as a line. He had never seen the entire Jingwang Mansion. Now that the charter has been decided, Huang Qiong, who is somewhat relieved, simply walks around this Jingwang Mansion.

It's just that after looking at it, Rao is already mentally prepared, and Huang Qiong can't help but be secretly stunned by this magnificent, grandiose regulation, revealing not only wealth and nobility inside and outside, but even the luxurious Jingwang Mansion. Compared with this Jingwang Mansion, the British Palace, which inherited King Teng, has become a fucking miscellaneous courtyard.

Looking at Huang Qiong's face, the only remaining steward of the entire Jingwang Mansion, that is, the chief eunuch of the Jingwang Mansion, hurriedly said: "Your Royal Highness, when this Jingwang Mansion was built, King Jing came to see it before he became a vassal. Later, King Jing privately increased the area by himself on the basis of the Ministry of Industry Building, and at the same time re-built three halls. ”

"All the main halls are made of rosewood, and the ground is paved with spotted stones. Because King Jing is very fond of apricot blossoms, a large number of apricot trees were interspersed and transplanted when the entire palace was built. Every year in spring, the palace is full of warblers singing and dancing, birds singing and flowers. ”

"This palace garden is built one by one according to the imperial garden of Daming Palace in the western capital. You see that the rockery stones in the palace garden are all Taihu Lake stones transported back from the south of the Yangtze River. The pavilions and pavilions here are all made of copper algae wood and iron algae wood. When the lake was excavated, more than 10,000 people were used manually. ”

"There are also 80 sika deer, cranes, and peacocks in it, and the lake is also stocked with precious koi. The lake is connected to the river outside the city, and in the summer the entire garden is refreshing. Every year in the summer, King Jing and the princesses rest in the dormitory in this garden. ”
