Inside Zhou Zheng's class room.

Gao Hongtu took an official document and said, "My lord, in the early stage, the household department plans to borrow three million first, which is two years and three percent interest. The three million are intended to be used by the household department to rectify agricultural affairs, mainly in Taihu Lake, plus Sichuan and Huguang, which is the first step. ”

Zhou Zheng looked at the official document, carefully scrutinized the plan of the household department, and said: "There are currently two main plans on the part of the Ministry of Industry, one is to renovate the river, mainly the Yellow River and the Yangtze River. Second, build bridges and pave roads, mainly based on the existing official roads, supplemented by provincial government plans, you must make overall arrangements, and you can't do your own ......"

Gao Hongtu said: "Yes." Xia Guan and Zhou Shangshu also discussed for a long time, and they already had a detailed plan, ready to gradually push forward, and strive to renovate the irrigation of acres of land across the country in five years......

"Not only irrigation, but also farm tools, cattle, pest control, production and marketing, etc., there are many things to be done in the household department, to dive in, don't take care of everything, to go deep into the details, that Song Yingxing, I gave you the Ministry of Industry, is a specialist, to use it well, I am Ming, I need such a specialist, a lot of discoveries......"

Zhou Zheng said while watching.

Gao Hongtu responded and said, "Yes." The subordinate obeyed the order. ”

Zhou Zheng hummed, closed the official document, and said: "Zhou's ticket number, those assets are being sold intensively, and in the next year or two, it may not be too cramped." After these two years, the taxes in various places, especially in Nanzhili, should be much better, and they can effectively replenish the national treasury, so there is no need to be too nervous......"

Gao Hongtu nodded and said: "Nanzhili is too chaotic, if it can be cleaned up, after two years, the grain tax will at least double, plus the crackdown on corruption, it may be more, plus the commercial tax, etc., maybe there will be six or seven million ...... a year."

Six or seven million?

Zhou Zheng shook his head secretly, but didn't say much, and said: "Nanzhili is the first step in our reform of the law, we must go cautiously and carefully, as long as it is safe here, other places are not a problem, we must go down and walk often." On the side of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I asked Ma Shiying to prepare thirteen inspections of the imperial history, and went deep into every province, a prefecture, and even a county to conduct open and secret inspections. Give you the right to investigate, not the right to dispose of, find problems, first feedback to the locality, and at the same time record the superiors and the capital, and then the local two rounds of inspection, the thirteen inspections in the capital must also be alternately verified. We must put an end to local deception and concealment, see the actual situation clearly, and prescribe the right medicine......"

Gao Hongtu listened carefully and said, "Yes, the next official will go back and prepare for a good life." ”

While the two were talking, Yao Tongshun came in, glanced at Gao Hongtu, and said to Zhou Zheng: "My lord, Qian Ge Lao has found a lot of people and discussed secretly in the class room. ”

Gao Hongtu was taken aback and said, "What is this old Qian Pavilion going to do?" ”

Li Juesi and others attacked Qian Qianyi before, but now Qian Qianyi can't help but fight back?

Qian Qianyi is a cabinet minister in the end, and he has power in his hands, if he does something in the name of the cabinet minister, the cabinet can only pay for it. Just like Lu Daqi's matter, Zhou Yanru has to cover it up, and Zhou Yanru has to cover up Qian Qianyi's matter.

There is infighting in the cabinet, or some kind of scandal, Zhou Yanru's face is the ugliest!

Zhou Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Why are they?" ”

Li Juesi suddenly made a move on Qian Qianyi, it stands to reason that Qian Qianyi should be patient, or talk about peace, after all, Li Juesi is behind Zhou Yanru, but Qian Qianyi fought back, this matter is weird.

At this moment, Ding Qi came in from outside, wiped his sweat, and said, "Second brother, I was also puzzled before, so I quietly checked, guess what, Li Juesi, I want to enter the cabinet!" ”

Ding Qi said, and with Gao Hongtu, Yao Tongshun raised his hand.

Both of them politely returned the salute, and their expressions were a little abrupt.

Li Juesi is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it stands to reason that he is the first person to enter the cabinet.

Gao Hongtu then wondered again, and said, "Even if Li Shangshu wants to enter the cabinet, why do you want to make a move on Qian Qianyi?" ”

Ding Qi smiled and said, "Well, because Elder Qian Ge is also going to recommend someone to join the cabinet." ”

This time, everyone understood that it was Qian Qianyi who blocked Li Juesi's way.

Qian Qianyi wanted to win over people and increase his status in the cabinet, Li Juesi was for the future, so the two openly tore apart, while Zhou Yanru did not move, did not speak, and did not express his position.

Zhou Zheng shook his head and said, "Let them fight." By the way, the eldest brother went to Shaanxi? ”

Ding Qi hurriedly said: "Yes, the eldest brother said that Shaanxi is the most broken, and in the summer, he said that he was worried about floods, and he was ready to watch it in person." ”

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "You can also go if you have time, the eldest brother is so temperamental, I'm afraid that he will burn down the house." ”

Ding Qi responded, took a sip of tea, and said with a smile: "There is one more thing, about Qian Ge Lao." His good friend is the famous prostitute of Qinhuaihe, Liu Rus. Li Shangshu found someone and planned to be a matchmaker for him and marry a scholar. You think, Li Shangshu is a guarantor, where did Liu Ru and that scholar resist, Qian Ge Lao still doesn't know the news, and if he does, I'm afraid he can be angry. ”

Yao Tongshun couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly closed his voice, his face flushed.

Gao Hongtu also smiled, then shook his head and said, "What's going on." ”

Zhou Zheng also waved his hand and said, "Forget it, we still concentrate on our business." In the second half of the year, I had to go to Liaodong, take the waterway to Tianjin Wei, Shandong, and then go south, go to Nanzhili. The capital will be presided over by Mr. Sun, and we will all go down and take a look. ”

Gao Hongtu, Ding Qi nodded, in Beijing, there is always some fog to see flowers.

After a busy day and night, Zhou Zheng returned home after dark, and in the yard, he saw Zhou Deyu, the little guy, standing crookedly in the yard with a tripod.

Zhou Zheng suddenly smiled, walked over, took a look, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

The little guy was thirteen years old, and when he saw Zhou Zheng coming, he quickly stood up and said with a nonchalant expression: "It's okay Second uncle, I just beat someone in the barracks, and the squad leader complained to the house." My mother punished me until dawn, and estimated that she would let me go to dinner after a while. ”

Zhou Zheng beckoned his subordinates, pulled a chair over, and ordered him to finish cooking porridge.

Zhou Deyu hurriedly said: "Second uncle, it's okay, I'm not hungry, and I don't sit ......."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Zheng sitting down and couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhou Zheng sat on the chair, looked at the sky, and then said, "Well, I know you're not hungry, you can still lift, I'll sit and rest for a while, and finish the porridge." ”

Zhou Dewei's face froze, I am holding a tripod here, tired and hungry, you sit in front of me and drink porridge? The most important thing is that you are here, why did my mother let me go back to eat with a soft heart?

Zhou Dewei roared in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "With the second uncle here, I'm not bored, so let's take a while." ”

Zhou Zheng praised with a smile: "This is my good nephew, lift slowly, don't worry." ”

Zhou Dewei was about to cry in his heart, is this second uncle real? It can't be a fake, right?
