Chapter 299 Highway Tolls
Dare to love is the toll, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but laugh dumbly, this Ma Shiying is no wonder that he handed over tens of millions of silver dollars at one time in just three months, and now it seems that his means of collecting money are not simple. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Bold, are you blind, can't you see what kind of official status we are, collect the money and receive it from us", at this time, the Dongchang Fanzi who led the way at the forefront had already quarreled with the Dingyuan County Office in charge of collecting fees, and the Dingyuan County County Office was a general figure with a sea pen frame, and his personality was very stubborn, and he shouted very characterfully: "Depending on who you are, even if you are the boss of the six cabinets, you still have to give money!" ”
The man said and complained: "It looks like a big official, why are you so picky, only a penny or two left and right, the common people still have to pay money for building this road, you dignitaries and nobles don't make any effort, pay some money and do this and that, what will it look like." ”
The Dongchang fan didn't expect that he would be scolded by a bookstore that collected travel fees, and he was immediately furious, forgetting that there were His Majesty and other big guys behind him, so he was about to draw his knife directly: "You! ”
Before he could shout, Zhu Youxiao had already appeared in front of him at this time, shouting: "Don't be presumptuous, pay the money and leave!" ”
Seeing that His Majesty came out to stop it in person, Dongchang Fanzi couldn't help but blush with shame, and handed over a piece of silver dollar to the secretary office in response.
The clerk took back the silver dollar, shouted "get up", and saw that the two men who were presumably supernumeraries or temporary workers of the county government post station raised the door panel like ordinary people.
At this time, Zhu Youxiao's carriage and others slowly passed.
And the Dongchang fan couldn't help shouting: "You didn't ask me for money, I have a silver dollar", but when the secretary pointed to the words "inferiority change" written on the wooden board, the Dongchang fan had no choice but to clench his fists and grin his teeth, so he had to follow the convoy.
In this regard, this Dongchang fan is in pain, this dollar silver dollar is equivalent to one or two silver, but since Liu Ruoyu took charge of the East Factory, the control of funds is very strict, this kind of road fee he will not repay one yuan of silver dollar because you give a silver dollar, but according to the price of this road fee, so, this Dongchang fan has to suffer this dumb loss.
"This Ma Shiying seems to be a practical person, and now the toll has been received from me", and at this time, Zhu Youxiao was not sad because he was charged a toll like Nadongchang Fanzi, but was in a very good mood, and even couldn't help but praise Ma Shiying in front of Li Mingrui and Wang Chengen, two important ministers inside and outside.
Although Wang Chengen was not very interested in Ma Shiying's character, because His Majesty valued it and did not want to disobey His Majesty, he echoed: "Isn't it, in terms of collecting money, this Ma Shiying can be iron-faced and selfless, whether it is a peddler or a pawn or a dignitary, he can treat everyone equally and be very active." ”
Li Mingrui saw Wang Chengen say this, coughed a few times, now His Majesty attaches great importance to Ma Shiying, and the impeachment of Ma Shiying has a backlog, and none of them have been dealt with, which is the best proof.
Now that Wang Chengen is the prime minister of the inner court, he only said that Ma Shiying is actively collecting money, and His Majesty Zhu Youxiao can naturally hear that Wang Chengen has no good impression of Ma Shiying, and he also lowered his face a little, and Wang Chengen also seemed to realize that he had lost his words for a while, so he was so frightened that he knelt down, and said honestly: "The ministers are speechless for a while, please punish Your Majesty, for Ma Zhongcheng's measures in the central capital, the ministers and Your Majesty are all heartfelt support, and please Your Majesty." ”
"Get up, don't think that I don't know what you mean, you are a little angry when you see that Ma Shiying didn't take you seriously", Zhu Youxiao said: "I saw that the bookstore just now said that it was very good, you didn't make any effort, but you wanted to use this road and were not polite, what is the difference between this and an arrogant and unreasonable robber." ”
"What Your Majesty said is that a few days ago, Song Duancheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, also came to impeach Ma Shiying, the governor of Fengyang, saying that he was crazy about accumulating money, and he had a great heart of disobedience, and regarded the scholars as if he were dogs, and set up checkpoints along the way, looting people's wealth, and the people were miserable. Li Mingrui once admired a daughter of the Song family when he was a young man, and later because Song Duancheng forcibly made the decision to marry this woman to the old Jinshi who had ordered Hanlin at that time, so Li Mingrui was also angry about this matter, and now he happened to interject.
And Zhu Youxiao naturally knew that the current cabinet scholar Li Mingrui was called a joke, but in fact he was secretly playing tricks, but he also wanted to use this matter to beat Wang Chengen and said: "These people are alarmist one by one, to put it bluntly, it is not that there is no emperor in their eyes, there is no Ming dynasty in my eyes, only their selfish interests, confiscating his family's property and degrading him to the people, so that at his age, no one will charge him tolls."
Wang Chengen was in charge of Dongchang and knew the old grudge between Li Mingrui and Song Duancheng, and he couldn't help glaring at Li Mingrui when he saw this, but he also understood in his heart that His Majesty was doing this for himself, so it was not easy to say anything.
Sometimes as a close minister of the Son of Heaven, it is easy to trap others, and it is easy to implicate others.
Li Mingrui didn't feel any pride in his heart, and it was just a convenient move to let Song Duancheng, an official who already had a bad reputation, suffer a little loss, he never thought he was a saint, so he didn't feel guilty.
And Wang Chengen had to serve Zhu Youxiao even more tremblingly from then on, secretly sighing that the companion is really like a companion, but once he leaves the king's side, it is very likely to be eaten directly, even a cabinet scholar like Li Mingrui will make himself sad because of something, so Wang Chengen must cherish it.
At this time, Dongchang Wu came in to report that Gu San Mazi had successfully entered the Royal Military Academy and that Qi Changguo had not been admitted to the Royal Military Academy.
"What, Gu San Mazi also invited Qi Changguo to take a bath, and also went to a tryst with a person named Mei Xiang", Zhu Youxiao asked in amazement, ordinary people can indulge themselves, but for the Praetorian Guard system, especially the officers and students of the Royal Military Academy, and this kind of talent who will be sent to great use in the future, if they are also misbehaved, then Zhu Youxiao will never allow it, and after hearing this again, his whole face has already darkened.
"Qi Changguo didn't agree, and persuaded Gu San Mazi very righteously, and educated him, Gu San Mazi couldn't stand the scolding of 'kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs, you don't need to teach Lao Tzu' and went by himself, while Qi Changguo stayed alone under the city wall for a night."
Zhu Youxiao smiled when he heard the news, and ordered: "I know, tell Liu Ruoyu that Gu Sanmazi's matter of playing with women must be dealt with strictly, and don't leave any mercy!" ”
