Of course, Zhuo Jing in Suzhou didn't know why the number of people who wanted to exchange the treasure money in his hand for food suddenly increased so much. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Although some officials in Suzhou Prefecture heard that the accents of these newcomers who came to exchange rice were from Kunshan, Jiading, Changshu County and other places, he did not have such a great associative ability to associate with the rest of Zhang Shicheng.

And even if he figured out why so many people came to exchange rice, it was useless, and the problem now was that by the end of the exchange on the fifth night of the new year, there was not much food left for the ten days of preparation. Of course, the grain was prepared according to the standard of 30 days, so he could still extract grain from the local granary.

But it's not a matter of eating grain like this, and he can't complete the task set by Yun Xibu, so at this time, Zhuo Jing is discussing this matter with the county magistrates of Suzhou Prefecture and Wu County and Changzhou County in his residence.

But these three people didn't have any ideas, and the most they said was to 'stop the exchange', or 'only allow the people of Yiguo County, Suzhou to exchange treasure money for grain'.

But how could Zhuo Jing agree! He is different from these foreign officials, he clearly knows that Yun Xi wants to restore the people's trust in the treasure money in combination with the several edicts issued by Zhu Yuanzhang before; And their suggestions will cut off the people's confidence in the treasure money, and the grain that was exchanged before will be exchanged for nothing.

However, Zhuo Jing couldn't think of any good way, so he could only order the food prepared for the future to be called in advance.

However, it is said that this matter should be informed in writing; But the matter has not yet been hurried to the point of burning eyebrows; Second, Zhuo Jing is also a very ambitious person, and he still needs the support of his superiors after failing in his first practice, which is likely to affect his future. So for the time being, he just reported 'everything is fine.'"

Although Yunxi is not in Suzhou in the capital, he is also concerned about the situation in Suzhou and Hangzhou all the time. Zhuo Jing in Suzhou did not write or report for three days, which made him very uneasy, so after getting Lao Zhu's permission, he asked the people of Suzhou Jinyiwei to report.

So Yun Xi knew about the situation in Suzhou on the eighth day of the new year. However, Yun Xi had already learned about Zhuo Jing's past at this time, although he still didn't remember whether there was such a person in the "History of the Ming Dynasty", but in the end he decided to trust Zhuo Jing for the time being, and planned to wait until there was still nothing to be done about it in his twenties.

At the same time, Jin Yiwei is investigating why so many people have suddenly increased to exchange food, which is very unreasonable. Yun Hee is also waiting for the results of their investigation to see if they can prescribe the right medicine.

And at this time, Yunxi is very busy, and he can't take care of other things for the time being. Lao Zhu's average time to review the recital is more than six hours a day, and it takes about six hours for Yun Xi to read the recital every day, first think about it himself, and then read Lao Zhu's review, plus the treatment of the eunuchs of the grade in the Wenhua Hall is also his last idea; At the same time, he also remembered that 'the body is the capital of the revolution', and Yun Xi's original physical foundation was good, so he found time to practice martial arts every day. So he's busy.

Especially sometimes he thinks that some of Lao Zhu's practices are not particularly good, and these things are not too concerned by Lao Zhu, he will try to debate with Lao Zhu. For example, on the evening of the ninth day of October, he was discussing with Lao Zhu the handling of petty embezzlers.

For the most part, Yun Hee was not a murderer, and except for very bad things, he always opposed the death penalty, believing that it was a great waste of human resources.

For example, in the old time and space, the release of all the prisoners of war in the 11th district by the Cloth Party was very wrong; Of course, he was also opposed to the proposal on the Internet to put them all to death. In the great northwest and southwest of the country, there are still many desolate and inaccessible places, and these prisoners of war can fully play their due contribution in these places and contribute to the prosperity and strength of Greater East Asia.

In the 60s, when the people of the 11th District had money, and at this time these prisoners of war were no longer able to do their work, they could sell these prisoners of war back to the 11th District Government or the relatives of these prisoners of war, whether it was cash or advanced technology, so that they could play a second role. This is the great use of human resources.

Far from it. At this time, Yun Xi was trying to get Lao Zhu not to sentence these petty corrupt officials to death, but to exile them to the northwest in the eastern region and exile them to Liaodong in the western region. He said: "Grandpa, these criminals who embezzle less than 200 yuan should not peel off the skin. ”

Lao Zhu heard him speak and said to him solemnly: "These criminal ministers, once they became officials, they were wantonly corrupt and 'peeled' from the common people, what is wrong with grandpa now picking their skins and returning them to the people." ”

Yun Xi thought to himself, the people don't dare to ask you to return the 'skin' they gave them. He pondered his words and said, "Grandpa, the punishment for embezzlers is not just stripping the skin. They were exiled to the frontiers, and the eastern Zhubu political envoys were exiled to the northwest, and the western Zhubu political envoys were exiled to Liaodong. These places are desolate places, and they can also serve as a punishment, and it is not a greater punishment for them to suffer from life rather than death for a long time. ”

"And these criminals have all read books, and many of them are just confused for a while, and they have embezzled one or two hundred yuan, and they can still use it. Let them teach the local Han people and Yi people to speak Chinese, read Chinese books, and perform Han rituals in the border areas, which is conducive to educating the local people. ”

Lao Zhu still has some truth in listening to him. Lao Zhu is not an unreasonable and unrepentant person, but after the death of Queen Ma, no one is good at advising Lao Zhu; Although Zhu Biao dares to advise, he is relatively straightforward and will not advise tactfully. For example, when Yun Xi advised Lao Zhu not to execute them, but to exile, he said, 'This is a greater punishment', while Zhu Biao mostly said, 'Be benevolent and don't be so harsh on the minister'. So what Zhu Biao said naturally didn't work.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Lao Zhu decided to partially accept Yun Xi's point of view: "Then change the bottom line of the executed corrupt officials from the previous 60 guan yuan to 120 guan yuan, and those greater than 120 guan will still peel off the skin and grass; Less than one hundred and twenty as you said in exile on the frontier. ”

Yun Xi doesn't plan to dwell on those dozens of things, it is a victory to make Lao Zhu give in, anyway, he will definitely change in the future.

Because it was a little late to talk about it today, Yun Xi stayed here to finish reading the unfinished excerpts and then went back. Lao Zhu was correcting the recital on the side.

Yun Xi looked at it and saw an order for the transfer of officials from the ministry, but the officials who were adjusted above were all above the fourth grade, so it should have been issued by Lao Zhu himself. And he saw the name of Huang Zicheng of Taichang Temple on it.

Yun Xi is very concerned about Huang Zicheng because he is famous, and take a closer look at his new appointment: the prefect of Baoding (Note 1). Yunxi didn't know that Lao Zhu wanted to find Huang Zicheng's mistakes, and the magistrate had a greater chance of making mistakes, and then executed Huang Zicheng in a bright way; He also thought it was a normal transfer, or that Lao Zhu wanted to transfer someone who had a good relationship with Yun Wei. So after he saw it, he just left.

Then what attracted his attention was the request of the Yi people of Yundian to go back. The article is very well written, and at first glance it was written by the officials of the Imperial Court, and finally asked them to sign it; There are some people who know Chinese and can write Chinese characters. Lao Zhu was already hopeless about finding out who was selling the poison among them, so he approved their resignation.

For similar reasons, Lao Zhu canceled the strict inspection of women entering and leaving the capital. After all, this is the capital, and there are many people coming and going from the south to the north every day, and such a big inspection is very time-consuming and misguided, so it was canceled, but Lao Zhu still let Jinyiwei make an unannounced visit.

This time, Yun Xi didn't have any waves in his heart, quietly watched all the twists and turns, and said goodbye to Lao Zhu and went back.

============================================================

Note 1: Taichang Siqing is a third-grade official, and the Baoding prefect is a fourth-grade official, although there is a difference between the first grade and the second grade, but this is a normal transfer during the Hongwu period, not unless a mistake is made, and the grade can be promoted but not lowered.
