"So, dare to ask Liu Yushi, how many of the 13 supervising imperial histories of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are in Beijing and how many are outside? Spending a lot of time in Beijing? Or is it a long time away? ”

Stretching out his finger and pointing at Deng Zhen, Yang Shaofeng continued: "How many of the ten things Deng Yushi said were seen in Beijing, and how many were seen outside?" Why can Deng Yushi see it, but the other one hundred and nine imperial histories can't see it? ”

Deng Zhen, who was still looking at Yang Shaofeng just now, turned his head to count the nails on the door of the main hall.

Liu Guan was almost forced into a corner.

"Why did Emperor Taizu Gao set up the Imperial Court? It's just that I hope that the supervision of the imperial history will go out, go to the local area to take a look, see more, and come back with all the pros and cons of the military and civilians. In other words, the imperial historian is the eyes and ears of the Son of Heaven. ”

Yang Shaofeng didn't give Liu Guan any face, and even moved out Emperor Taizu Gao Zhu Yuanzhang, just like Liu Guan just threw out a pair of threes, Yang Shaofeng returned with four twos and two kings.

"Speaking for the people and speaking for all the people, this is the responsibility of the imperial historians. But now look at you, how many of you are speaking for the people? Zheng Yushi, you are the Shandong Provincial Inspector Yushi, right? ”

Zheng Yan didn't know why Yang Shaofeng suddenly wanted to point the finger at himself, so he had no choice but to nod yes.

Yang Shaofeng said: "How many places in Shandong are drought? How many places are waterlogged? How many years have you been dry? Waterlogged for a few years? How many people do you have in Shandong? What do the people do for a living today? ”

Zheng Yan was dumbfounded.

Since the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Shandong has been the most fiercely contested area between the Red Turban Army and the Yuan Army, and even in the later period of the Hongwu Dynasty, the resettlement of displaced people and the recovery of production are still a headache for the court bosses.

When Zhu Laosi started to fight against the army, Shandong, which had not recovered, was once again hit by a military disaster, and now it is a situation where this year's drought and next year's flooding have eaten, and there is no next meal.

Even when the hungry people in Shandong needed relief, many places had no storage of millet, and they had to "store it for relief by the nearby military and security divisions".

What's even more fucking is that Zheng Yan is indeed the Shandong Provincial Inspector of the Imperial History, but Zheng Yan is a local official who was transferred to the capital, and now he has just taken over as the Shandong Provincial Inspector of the Imperial History for a few months, and he has not yet figured out the situation in Shandong, and all he knows is only these superficial things, how can people answer?

Yang Shaofeng looked at Zheng Yan, who was speechless, and suddenly laughed: "You don't know, right? The official came to tell you that until the sixteenth year of Yongle, not counting the military registration, there were 6.5 million Dingkou in Shandong, and the people were in difficulty, the merchants were incomprehensible, and they were full of devastation. ”

As soon as Yang Shaofeng's words fell, Xia Yuanji coughed, and Zhu Laosi's face darkened.

It's just that although Zhu Laosi had a black face, he still didn't say anything, but silently made another note for Yang Shaofeng.

"Nonsense!" Zheng Yan pointed at Yang Shaofeng and shouted: "Although Shandong is in trouble, it is not as good as you said!" ”

Yang Shaofeng's face was full of indifference: "Then have you been to Shandong to see it?"

If you go to Shandong to take a look at it at the beginning of your tenure, can you not know what the situation is in Shandong?

You are a Shandong Provincial Inspector of the Imperial History, you don't want to go to Shandong to take a look, but you are staring at the official, and now you are refuting the official with a bunch of nonsense, what about your face? Didn't you forget at home when you went out? ”

After Yang Shaofeng's voice fell, it was not only Zheng Yan and Liu Guan whose faces were dark, but even Zhu Laosi's face was extremely gloomy.

It's just that in the eyes of Liu Guan and Zheng Yan, the emperor's face is not good-looking, and most of them are heading for Yang Shaofeng.

But in fact, Zhu Laosi's face was ugly, but it was because Zheng Yan, the Shandong Provincial Inspector Imperial History, didn't know what the situation was in Shandong.

In fact, the situation in Shandong is far more than just a dilemma that can be described in two words - Tang Sai'er called herself the Mother of Buddha and rebelled!

It just so happened that the news of Jinyiwei was faster than the news of the local government, and Zheng Yan, the superintendent of Shandong Province, was still impeaching Yang Shaofeng in Beijing, so he didn't know what was going on in Shandong.

The superintendent in charge of Shandong Province did not know what was happening in Shandong, but stayed in the capital to impeach a hero who had just collected 70,000 taels of silver for the treasury from overseas......

Zhu Laosi's gloomy face made the atmosphere in the hall even more depressing.

After a long time, Zhu Laosi spoke: "Retreat." ”

Yang Shaofeng followed the other ministers and bowed to Zhu Laosi, watching Zhu Laosi leave the Fengtian Palace, and Zheng Yan, who was kneeling in the hall, collapsed to the ground like a fool.

Xu Jingchang walked over from Xungui's team, gestured towards the door of the hall, and said with a smile: "Let's go, go to the drunken immortal building to drink?" This time I give money! ”

Xue Bin and the others, who came with Xu Jingchang, suddenly laughed wildly, and didn't mean to hide it at all-didn't you Zheng Yanfang just say that the champion bullied the businessman, and he would give money if he went again today.

Liu Guan said with a gloomy face: "Young people, don't be too arrogant, you have to be forgiving and forgiving!" ”

Yang Shaofeng laughed, stared at Liu Guan deadly, and said word by word: "Don't be angry, are you still called a young man!" ”

Xia Yuanji, who was about to leave the palace, came over, patted Yang Shaofeng's shoulder, and said with a smile: "The champion has been in the country for a few months, hurry up and go home to rest." ”

Zhang Fu also came over and said, "Let's go, go to your Zhuangzi, the wine and food in this drunken immortal building are still not as good as your family." ”

Yang Shaofeng nodded with a smile, stretched out his hand to lead outward, and said to Xia Yuanji: "Let's go to Xia Butang together, let's go to Zhuangzi and have a good drink." ”

It's just that Yang Shaofeng and the others haven't walked out of the Fengtian Hall yet, and they are stopped by the breathless unintentional: "Champion Gong stays!" ”

Yang Shaofeng said with a smile: "Let's go, let's go to the Drunken Immortal Building for a drink?" ”

Wuxin shook his head and said, "Still drinking?" I can't drink it, the emperor has already gone to the Wenhua Palace, and the emperor ordered our family to tie up the champion duke, and by the way, I also asked Xia Butang to go over with the British Duke and the Dingguo Duke. ”

Yang Shaofeng suddenly looked confused: "What? Tie it up? ”

Wuxin snorted, waved his hand to the little eunuch behind him, and said to Yang Shaofeng: "If you offend, don't blame our family." ”

It wasn't until a few little eunuchs tied up Yang Shaofeng and lifted Yang Shaofeng up with a wooden shoulder, that Yang Shaofeng, who was still very calm just now, was suddenly shocked and angry, and scolded Wuxin angrily: "Dog Wuxin!" Are you tying up people or pigs? ”

Unintentionally smiled and said: "Don't worry, this is also the emperor's order, you must not worry about a dead eunuch in our family." ”

motioned to a few little eunuchs to carry Yang Shaofeng away, and unintentionally stopped Xia Yuanji and Zhang Fu, who were watching the excitement next to him, and motioned for the two of them, Xu Jingchang and others to follow him to Wenhua Palace.

The civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, plus a number of noble clans and even foreign vassal envoys, watched a good show like this - the six champions of the dignified hall were tied up like pigs, and then carried to the Wenhua Hall like pigs.

walked all the way, Yang Shaofeng scolded all the way, but he didn't get angry unintentionally, just walked in front with a smile.

Xia Yuanji whispered to Zhang Fu: "Ruthless, dare to scold the unintentional like this, Yang Hanlin is really the first one." ”

Zhang Fu shook his head and said, "It's different, it's different." Don't look at his scolding of a dead eunuch, but he didn't mean that they didn't take it seriously. If it were for us, ...... would you scold like this."

Xia Yuanji diverted the topic and said, "I don't know what Your Majesty is looking for us, and you want to bring Yang Hanlin with you?" ”

Zhang Fu said: "It's probably Shandong's business." Haven't you read yesterday's emergency report? ”

Xia Yuanji snorted, his face was a little unsightly: "Damn, what's wrong with that broken place in Shandong, you can't live if you are exempt from taxes and taxes, it's a hell!" ”

Xu Jingchang came up and said in a low voice: "If you want me to say, this people should not be exempted from paying taxes!" Not only should normal things not be avoided, but even in disaster years! ”

Xia Yuanji glared at Xu Jingchang and said angrily: "What you said is still human? ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Xia Butang also went to relieve the disaster, don't you know what kind of birds those officials and gentry are?"

If His Majesty had not exempted the people from paying taxes, then these taxes would have been collected by the treasury, and it would have nothing to do with them anyway, so it would have nothing to do with them.

But now His Majesty has exempted the people's taxes and taxes, which means that they can collect a few percent more rent, and the tenants dare not pay it, but it is not Your Majesty's business, this is their silver, and they can easily put down such a big piece of fat? ”

Hehe laughed, Xu Jingchang's face was somewhat unnatural: "If it weren't for the champion prince who took us to make a fortune, we would definitely have raised the rent by one or two percent." ”

Xia Yuanji's hand holding his beard unconsciously used a little more force, and almost pulled off his beard: "Is this talking about human words!" Your Majesty has exempted the people from paying taxes, and you still have to increase it by one or two percent? Are you not afraid to drive the people into rebellion? ”

"It's clear that the people have begun to rebel." Xu Jingchang, who has lowered the rent since he decided to go to sea with Yang Shaofeng, is not panicked at all, and he does not feel guilty about selling his teammates: "Those turtle landlords have no vision, their eyes are staring at the one-third of an acre of land, what Your Majesty can't look at, they look at it, Your Majesty doesn't want it, they want it."

If this father's expectation is correct, this is the case in Shandong, the people are forced to live, otherwise the people will not be under the banner of anti-corruption officials and not against Your Majesty. ”

"That's also a rebellion!"

Zhang Fu said categorically: "In any case, if they rebel, they will rebel, and what you should consider now is not why they rebelled, but how to calm down the turmoil!" ”

Xia Yuanji glanced at Zhang Fu, shook his head and said, "The British public is very different. You are from a military background, and you naturally think about these things on the battlefield, but Your Majesty has to think about more than just that. ”
