Chapter 208: A Foolproof Plan
Metropolitan Inspectorate,
Yan Chengjin spread out the blank paper and drew a process mind map.
"The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal starts from Tongzhou in the north, and if a river is dug out of Liangxiang and connected with the Lugou River, it will flow into the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal."
Liangxiang is the small commodity center of the Ming Dynasty and the righteous bird of the world.
With the inner harbor as a transportation channel, Liangxiang is bound to become the "Jiangnan" of the north.
"The construction of the library has emptied the treasury of Liangxiang, and I have to ask His Majesty for a lot of money."
After analysis, Yan Chengjin was in trouble.
His Majesty is eager to hold the treasury in his mouth, how can he spit out the silver?
"If I mention asking for silver, at this time, Hanwen will definitely jump out and oppose it, and if I want the silver from the treasury, I have to pass the Hangul level."
Suddenly, there was another small boss on the white paper blocking the road.
Yan Chengjin wrote a few words on the paper.
Holding a large number of materials and classics, the imperial historian came out of the warehouse and staggered back to the duty room.
With a loud shout, he almost scared him to death.
"Fang Xue! What are you going to do with the classics! Dai Shan was furious.
Yushi turned his head and said ashamedly: "My lord, it's the old brother who wants it, let me take the ......"
Before Yan Chengjin came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he was the gold medal imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and after Yan Chengjin came......
Everything has changed!
Even the adults yelled at him.
Looking at a few classics, Dai Shan wondered in her heart, what does this guy want to do with the canal records sent back by the thirteen imperial histories?
With his hands on his back, he strode into the duty room, and there was a quiet imperial history in the east window who was writing and drawing.
Are you in a hurry for business?
Dai Shan's old face smiled and folded: "Chengjin, who is impeached?" ”
"Xiaguan, I want to ask Your Majesty to play and connect Liangxiang into the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal." Yan Chengjin said respectfully.
Fang Xue hurriedly put the classics on the bookcase.
Dai Shan couldn't figure it out: "What are you doing when you play these classics?" ”
"The lower officials should read these classics before playing."
You've got your brains in the water, right?
But I don't think it's good to say that......
Dai Shan hurriedly said: "Virtuous nephew, don't be so cautious. ”
Yan Chengjin nodded, but his hand was very honest to open the classics and check them one by one.
Seeing that he didn't listen to the persuasion, Dai Shan shook his head and left, and didn't take a few steps, but he heard the sound:
"Senior Brother Fang, do you know where Lord Hanwen lives?"
Dai Shan turned around and jumped to her feet angrily: "You play, what are you doing to inquire about Hanwen's mansion?" ”
"The lower official just asked casually, adults don't have to be so cautious."
After Dai Shan left, Fang Xue whispered to Yan Chengjin: "Old brother, you can teach you the way of impeachment now, right?" ”
"Impeachment is just two words."
"Which two?"
Yan Chengjin leaned into Fang Xue's ear and said two words, Fang Xue's face froze.
……
Under the early dynasty,
Emperor Hongzhi saw Zhang Xian's sparse performance in Liangxiang Zhixian County, and the cabinet voted to wait for him to approve the red.
"Liangxiang, please dig a waterway?"
It must be Yan Chengjin's idea again, this son didn't dare to admonish directly, so he asked Zhang Xian to admonish.
Emperor Hongzhi instructed Mu Bin on the side: "Let Yan Chengjin come by himself." ”
Yan Chengjin took a sketch and came to the warm pavilion to meet Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, please dig the river channel from Tongliang Township to Lugou River." ”
"Liangxiang wants to open a river?" Li Dongyang was surprised.
Liangxiang has a lot of small commodities, Caoyun is the main transportation channel of the Ming Dynasty, Liangxiang can be added to Caoyun through the Lugou River.
Emperor Hongzhi said casually: "Liangxiang is opening up transportation, but in order to dredge the trade routes in the south of the Yangtze River?" ”
Yan Chengjin was ready to offer the first reason for careful preparation.
"In order to dredge the trade routes between the north and the south, and also to feed the displaced people in Liangxiang, after winter, there are fewer merchants who come to Liangxiang, and old goods are hoarded in warehouses and collapsed houses, and the workshops cannot be opened, and the homeless people will starve.
If the displaced people dig the waterway from Liangxiang to the Lugou River, they will have a livelihood. ”
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "It's good for you to decide on this matter, and you don't have to report it." ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is here to spend a lot of money......"
Emperor Hongzhi's old face moved slightly, the previous dynasty opened the Cao Canal in the past, and mobilized tens of thousands of displaced people, just to give rations to use countless expenses.
"Why don't you transport it to Tongzhou and then go through Caoyun?"
Yan Chengjin had long expected that His Majesty would not be happy when he mentioned the extravagant expenses, "Tongzhou is enough to be from Liangxiang, more than sixty miles, and there are often official ships transporting grain in Tongzhou River Port, and the ministers are afraid that it will hinder the city's shipping division, does Your Majesty not want to spend extravagantly?" ”
You little bunny!
Did you ask that?
Emperor Hongzhi's face became unnatural, and Li Dongyang and Xie Qian deliberately lowered their heads and did not look at His Majesty's face, saving His Majesty embarrassment.
Yan Chengjin stood in the middle.
Now I want silver, every sentence has been carefully scrutinized, and only when this sentence is spoken, can Your Majesty be able to give waste.
Han Wen cheered up and said, "The boiling water road costs a lot of silver, and now it is frozen three feet, why not wait for next year to open it again?" ”
Yan Chengjin expected that he would have to pass the Korean level when he asked Yinzi.
"Tomorrow will be opened, and the merchants will begin to trade, and then the waterway will be opened, and a lot of silver will be lost, but now the soil is not deep, and there are many displaced people, and the waterway will be dug out."
"How much does it cost?" Emperor Hongji asked.
"Fifty thousand taels of silver."
The ministers gasped.
Spending 50,000 taels of silver is not a big deal, but smashing 50,000 taels of silver on a small county town always feels like a waste.
"How much does a good township pay in a year's taxes? No way! Lose money! Han Wen angrily refused.
Li Dongyang pretended not to see Yan Chengjin's signal for help.
"That'...... Think again. ”
Emperor Hongzhi nodded, and as soon as the Liangxiang waterway was opened, the official position of the city department would be added, so that there would be more money spent.
Walking out of the warm pavilion, Yan Chengjin was sure that Emperor Hongzhi did not oppose or approve of it, as long as he got the Korean language, he could get the money.
"The Metropolitan Procuratorate's impeachment of Han Wen has almost failed, which shows that Han Wen has an excellent official reputation and a very high status in His Majesty's heart."
In historical materials, most of the records about Hangul are praised, and he was an upright person.
If you can't give money, you can only be impeached.
For the sake of imperial history, impeachment is the job, and if you pay bribes, you may incur disaster.
The luck of Liangxiang, Yan Chengjin must be opened.
"But what weakness does Hangeul have that can be impeached?"
Historical data cannot be trusted, and he knows very little about Korean.
When he returned to the house, Yan Chengjin ordered someone to invite Wang Yue and said, "Do you know anything about Hangul?" ”
"Han Wennai is the prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, after Han Qi, his official reputation is good, and he also impeached me and Ma Gonglai, but he is not a good bird."
After listening to Wang Yue for a long time, Yan Chengjin didn't find out the shortcomings of Hangul.
"If the virtuous nephew wants to impeach him, he will go directly to His Majesty, why be so cautious?" Wang Yue said.
Yan Chengjin will not be impeached rashly.
Suddenly I thought of someone, Cheng Minzheng!
Cheng Minzheng and Han Wen are the same year, both of them are Jinshi in the second year of Chenghua, and they also have friends in private.
At night, Yan Chengjin received a reply from Cheng Minzheng:
"The Han family is a Zhumen embroidery household in Hongdong, since childhood, there are naturally some habits of rich children, and they occasionally go to drink flower wine, but they choose more secluded and deep places, and there is a Jixian building in the capital......"
Yan Chengjin knows that Han Wen's family background is very solid, and he can be a national husband when he is born.
It is only because of the penalty method that the family situation is decaying.
Liu Gonggong is really a talented person, likes to innovate, and invented many criminal laws, and the punishment method was invented by Liu Jin.
The penalty method is to determine the amount of penalty rice and the distance of delivery according to the severity of the crime.
Not only must the penalty rice be handed over, but the silver must be given and the rice will be delivered to the designated border.
The place designated by Grandpa Liu will definitely not be too close.
directly punished Han Wen to the bottom of his family's property.
stunned like this, Han Wen did not kneel Liu Jin, it can be seen that he is upright and upright, but it gave Yan Chengjin a weakness, and Han Wen regretted his reputation very much.
"Do you know where Jixian Tower is?"
He Neng was shocked: "Young master, that's a place to drink flower wine, it's late at night, do you want to go out?" ”
"Prepare a sedan chair, bring a few more family members, this young master is going to go."
