"Our father and son run the capital, and going to Qizhou is the dragon trapped shoal." Shi Qingguang said calmly: "The silver net woven by spending tens of millions of taels of silver over the years is tough enough, as long as the Son of Heaven does not make an order, no one can move our father and son." ”

With a sneer, Shi Qingguang said: "This net is with barbs, even if the Son of Heaven wants to do it, he will be pricked with blood, there are a lot of official fields hanging in the name of Ningling Palace, but nearly half of them are owned by the family members of the concubines and concubines in the palace, so I am in a hurry to report these people and fields to see how Shi Fangzhen's kid ends." ”

Stonework? laughed and said, "What my father said is right, if you move your whole body, our family can indeed sit quietly and watch the changes." ”

Jiangfu, Liu Yixing learned that Jiang Anyi had taken over the envoy to clean up the official field, and said with a wry smile: "Anyi, you can really toss, you just turned the transfer of the yamen upside down, and led to the long live cleaning up of the officials, this matter has not stopped, and there is another cleanup of the official field, it seems that you have made a lonely minister." ”

Li Donghong said worriedly: "My lord, it is difficult to cure the private evils of the official land for more than a thousand years, and it is a hundred times more tricky than clearing the acres of land. ”

Jiang Anyi's mind flashed over Mrs. Liu, who was whipped by evil slaves in Suxi County, and said in a deep voice: "Someone must do something for the people, even if the officialdom is the enemy, what can it be?" ”

Fan Shiben came to play chess with his junior brother after dinner, just in time for this discussion, Fan Shiben, who has always had a full sense of justice, applauded and cheered: "This is a strong statement. An Yi said in the imperial study, 'Gou can benefit the country, how dare you avoid it with safety and danger', this sentence said to the bottom of my heart, if the virtuous brother does not think I am useless, I am willing to follow you to clean up the official field. ”

Li Laigao tapped his palm with a folding fan and said with a smile: "I came to the capital to have nothing to do, but I am somewhat interested in this matter, and I am willing to break through the thorny road with Brother Jiang." ”

Liu Yixing said with a smile: "That's it, everyone is willing that Liu will naturally not be left behind, maybe in the future, he will be famous in the history books with the lord because of this matter." ”

Several people clapped their hands and laughed, fierce and fierce.

Jiang Anyi saw Li Donghong's hesitant expression, and said: "This matter is not forced, Donghong doesn't have to feel embarrassed, you concentrate on taking care of my affairs, and you are also helping me." ”

Li Donghong said gratefully: "Thank you, sir." ”

The handover of the East Palace was very fast, Xiong Zhiren was very reluctant but helpless, Jiang Anyi asked him to take care of his disciple He Xigui, Xiong Zhiren naturally agreed.

He Ziying was very happy for Jiang Anyi, and said: "Anyi's cleaning up of the official fields is beneficial to the country and the people, He Mou hates to follow it, but after you leave, the East Palace is more and more inseparable from people, if it is useful to get He's place, just ask." ”

Cheng Mingdao's wish was fulfilled and became a matter of Shao Zhan, and he came to hand over with a spring breeze on his face, saying that he would put wine in Xunfeng Building for Jiang Anyi, Jiang Anyi was too lazy to pay attention to his hypocrisy, thanked him for his kindness, and took Liu Yixing away.

Song Qingchen smiled and flattered: "My lord, the colleagues of Zhan Shifu and Chunfang congratulated the adults in the Drunken Immortal Building, and invited the adults to appreciate the light." ”

Cheng Mingdao said proudly: "Don't take it as an example." With that, he turned around and entered the official hall, and sat down in the chair in the middle. Phosphorus?

The Son of Heaven decreed the establishment of the Guantian Clean-up Division, Jiang Anyi served as the Guantian Envoy (Zheng Sipin), the soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first, Shi Fangzhen allocated 300,000 taels of office expenses with a stroke of the pen, and the officials of the Clean-up Division were selected by Jiang Anyi's six departments and nine qing, and they only needed to play the report of the Ministry of Shangshu Duan Cizong.

The yamen was located in the household department, and Yu Zhijie cleared out a set of courtyards for his disciples, with 21 official houses, which was enough for the office of the official field. Yu Zhijie ordered someone to open up this courtyard to the wall of the alley, and opened a separate portal, so that it can be connected by the household and can enter and exit by itself, Jiang Anyi is very grateful for Yu Shi's thoughtfulness.

In addition to Jiang Anyi, the envoy, Jiang Anyi seconded Fan Shiben to Yu Shi, and appointed him and Liu Yixing to be assigned to the left and right (Zheng Liupinshang), Tian Shoulou became the seventh grade master, Li Laigao was appointed as the eighth grade recorder, and Jiang Anyi's manpower in Beijing was all recruited by him into the yamen. The Son of Heaven transferred hundreds of Lingshi and Shulingshi from the Six Ministries and Jiuqing to help consult the information and listen to it.

The much-anticipated Yamen of the Guantian Clean-up Division was opened, and the will to clean up the Guantian was soon issued to all prefectures and counties, and some were frightened, some sat quietly, scoffed, and were ready to resist stubbornly.

In the early stage, it was a self-examination of the state and county, and Jiang Anyi and others were not idle, flipping through the vast archives every day, recording and comparing the number and changes of official fields in various places. Dazheng's population, acres and other information are checked every five years, and the data is summarized and reported to the household department, which has a number of courtyards to store these materials.

Jiang Anyi knew the hard work of these people, and promised to ask the Son of Heaven for them afterwards, and the meal arrangement was also very rich, and there was fish and meat at the meal.

Shi Fangzhen attached great importance to the matter of Guantian, and asked Jiang Anyi to report the progress on the fifth day, and the preliminary review work did not show any results, Shi Fangzhen looked at the dry data on the report,

I was secretly anxious. For the cleaning of the official field, he is both afraid and expectant, and Emperor Xuan, Emperor Zhao is different from the pleasure, Shi Fang is really a good emperor who is eager to make contributions, he is eager to clear the acres of fields, the northern expedition to the desert is to leave a good name in the history.

Under Shi Fangzhen's more than 20 years of conscientious repair, Da Zheng's broken ship has recovered the ability to ride the wind and waves, which makes him very proud, and the reputation of "Zhongxing Emperor" is ironclad in the history books when the Northern Expedition succeeds. However, the rebellion in Linhua County and the Huangzhuang incident in Suxi County exposed the flaws in the ship's shiny surface, which made Shi Fangzhen worried.

He is already fifty and two, his skin is loose, his hair is thinning, his energy is not as good as before, Shi Fangzhen is secretly anxious, the prince's luxurious and hedonistic temperament is sometimes revealed, if there is no restraint, it is very likely to embark on the old road of Emperor Xuan and Emperor Zhao, Shi Fangzhen on the one hand sharpens the prince to his luxury, on the other hand, he wants to enrich the treasury more, even if the prince squanders it in the future, the family can support more time.

The rise of the border city of Huazhou made Shi Fangzhen see another way to accumulate wealth, and he was ready to set up a border city in Dengzhou after the Northern Expedition, Qianzhou to Miaobian City, and Weizhou to the Manbian City, plus the border city of Huazhou to the Western Regions is exactly four border cities in the southeast, northwest and northwest, and the current tax in the border city of Huazhou is stable at more than 3.5 million taels, and about 2 million taels in other border cities, there is a tax of nearly 10 million taels, which is equivalent to four or five more taxes in Shangzhou, and there are ten years of accumulation enough for 30 years of consumption.

After the incident in Huangzhuang in Suxi County, Shi Fangzhen was both surprised and happy, surprised that Huangzhuang (Guantian) was bullying the people, and happy that only a resident of the East Palace Huangzhuang had confiscated nearly 400,000 taels of property, if the world's official fields were all over again, the treasury would receive at least 20 million taels of property, and this feeling of fattening pigs and killing again made him secretly happy.

Not only is it actually profitable, but also judging from the fact that the people of Suxi County sent 100 clothes and 100-year-old locks, cleaning up the official land and punishing corruption can calm down the people's grievances, which is a good thing for the court, so although he knows that there are many obstacles, Shi Fang sincerely believes that the benefits of this matter outweigh the disadvantages, and he has high hopes for Jiang Anyi.

Shi Fangzhen has always been anxious, and as he gets older, his patience has increased a little, and he can't sit still anymore after flipping through the dry data a few times, and he wants to make an order for Jiang Anyi to go to the pilgrimage to inquire but feels that there is no report on the state and county's self-inspection, and it is useless to urge Jiang Anyi.

Today's recital has been reviewed, Shi Fangzhen stood up, and Liu Weiguo asked softly: "Long live, drive Kun'an Palace?" ”

"It's still early, change my clothes, and I will go around the six departments to see my ministers." Shi Fang really came up with the idea of a private visit to Weifu, but it was not about the people's suffering, but whether the ministers of civil and military affairs were serious about their errands.

The official office of the six departments and nine qing is before the imperial city, the east of the east and the west, the outside of the east wall is the official offices of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Industry, etc., and the outside of the west wall is the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Dali Temple and the Zhuwei Mansion and other military yamen. Shi Fangzhen wore a cyan robe, and Liu Weiguo also changed into a green cloth robe, and the two of them were like petty officials of Jiupin, wandering along the corridor inconspicuously.

The crowd of people coming and going continued, no one noticed the existence of the Son of Heaven and the eunuch Bingli, everyone knew the Son of Heaven, but not many people who had seen the holy face, not to mention that most of the people who came and went were small officials, even the small officials who had seen the Son of Heaven in the Great Dynasty also saw the bright yellow dragon robe on the throne from a distance, except for those close ministers, most people did not know what the Son of Heaven looked like, the size of his eyes, the length of his beard, Shi Fangzhen was depressed while walking.

The Ministry of Rites is the most leisurely, and the officials in the yamen gather together to talk and laugh, looking like they are waiting for dinner; The Ministry of Officials was busier than the Ministry of Rites, and Shi Fangzhen glanced at several officials, and most of them were officials who came to set up friendships and familiar faces.

There was laughter and laughter in front of the door, and the little officials happily carried a basket of golden oranges in, which was a tangerine from Yufeng County, Weizhou, and had just entered the tribute palace yesterday, but I didn't expect to come to the Ministry of Filial Piety the next day.

"It's a total of 600 baskets, please write a receipt for the adults, and the small ones will go back to report the bills." A man dressed as a small official nodded and said to the head of the official department in light green official robes.

The director said in a long tone: "Yu Feng tangerines are good, the official's father likes it very much, these six hundred baskets are divided into only two baskets for one person, relatives and friends divide them, and the rest is not enough for my father to satisfy his hunger." ”

"There are still ten baskets left in the inn, where the adults live, and the small ones will be sent to the house when they go back." The little official responded smartly.

The principal smiled and beckoned the little official to enter the official office and write a receipt. Shi Fangzhen's face turned blue, and he was about to go to Duan Cizong, Liu Weiguo persuaded softly: "Long live, this matter is an old practice. The Beijing officials are not enough to support their families, and they rely on the filial piety sent by the magistrates. ”

Shi Fangzhen stood on his legs, stayed for a moment, and flicked his sleeves out of the door of the ministry's department.
