Fan Tong's heart blossomed, and he said to Wang Zhou and Jiang Weiwei: "What are you still doing in a daze, whether he agrees or not, go home immediately and prepare for the dowry." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zhou Qingzhi affectionately, and left the Zhou Mansion with people.

Leave four or five people to protect Zhou Qingzhi and Zhouquan, these people are all women in the Soaring Cloud Ride.

Poor Zhou Wei, a scholar, is the opponent of a group of female men, who wanted to teach his shameless sister in his eyes several times, but was forced back by those.

Knowing that Fan Tongyi had won the beauty within the day, Zhang Ru was surprised: "Yes, yes, Lao Fan still has some ability." Haha, I'll just say, how can my brother not even be a little girl. Zhou Wei disagrees is not a problem, and immediately looks for whether the Zhou family has distant cousins. You don't have to be too close, as long as you are close to each other, you can be older than Zhou. ”

The Dingguo Mansion is non-stop preparing things to prepare for marriage, Wang Zhou and Jiang Wei are responsible for purchasing the dowry, Du Shanbai is responsible for contacting the matchmaker, and Gao Yinhe is responsible for preparing other things.

The entire Guogong Mansion, because of Fan Tong's marriage, made a lot of noise.

In an era when news did not spread quickly, it was very simple for the emperor to know certain news. The matter here has just been prepared, and someone has already arrived in the palace.

The emperor heard that Zhang Ru had people surround the mansion of Guozijian Siye, and sent someone to ask what the situation was.

There were some things that Zhang Ru naturally couldn't say to a eunuch, so he simply followed the eunuch directly into the palace.

Zhu Youzhu was in a good mood and wrote and painted in the East Warm Pavilion.

"Minister Zhang Ru, see Your Majesty." Zhang Ru knelt on one knee and made a military salute.

Zhu Youzhu put down the brush and helped him up with a smile: "Brother Tiger, you won't stop this time!" That little secretary of the country, what has offended you? You can't make a small battle and make Scholar Liu enter the palace to talk to me. ”

Zhang Ru smiled: "It's nothing, it's just that Fan Tong has fallen in love with someone else's sister, I'll just put a little pressure on him." ”

This reason made Zhu Youzhu laugh dumbly: "I really convinced you, you just don't toss for a day, and your hands itch."

Don't make too much trouble, otherwise it won't end well.

By the way, how are the preparations for the funeral of the miracle doctor? There is also the Tatar Great Khan Batu Mengke who is still imprisoned in Jinyi Weizhao Prison, which needs to be dealt with. ”

Zhang Ru replied one by one: "Things won't make a big deal, and the people under my hands are still a little measured in their work, just to scare and scare Zhou Wei." The family of the divine doctor is still on the way to the capital, and it is estimated that it will take twenty years to arrive, and when his family arrives, the funeral can be held immediately. As for that guy Tu Hu, he is imprisoned in Zhao Prison, and we don't have a lot of this bite anyway. ”

Zhu Youzhu said: "Why do you suddenly dare to be interested in a national superintendent?" Don't use Fan Tong to fool me when he falls in love with other people's girls. ”

Zhang Ru confessed: "This person's views on the Ming officialdom are relatively unique, and the minister thinks that the Ming Dynasty needs to open up sources and reduce expenditures in order to make the people's lives prosperous."

If you open source, you have already done it from the sea ban, and the next thing to do is to throttle.

Since Taizu, the official salary has never been high. Some officials who want to do something for the common people because they can't get money, so they have to accept gifts from local squires.

came and went, and an official who could have been a clean official for a lifetime ended up becoming a corrupt official in the mouth of the people. It's not a character problem, it's just being forced to be helpless.

After the minister planned to wait for Li Lao's matter to be over, he asked His Majesty for permission to take people to inspect the Jiangnan officialdom, sweep away redundant officials and redundant personnel, and sweep away the accumulated shortcomings in one fell swoop. ”

Zhu Youzhu groaned: "Brother Tiger, you didn't tell me about this in advance!" ”

Zhang Ru explained: "The matter has not been completed yet, so I have not reported it to His Majesty. Now it is also a kind of temptation for that Zhou Wei, because it is necessary to make sure that the person who wants to use it can use it. ”

Zhu Youzhu sighed: "It's not that Brother Hu's idea is bad, but whether Brother Hu has considered how many people are involved in this, and how many people you will offend by doing this."

I know that Brother Tiger has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty, and I also know that Brother Tiger is to truly achieve the prosperity of Hongzhi. But this time is different, to clear the accumulated shortcomings of officialdom, not with one or two people, but with the entire Ming officialdom!

Now the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, down to the seventh-rank petty officials, and up to the first-rank officials, no one dares to say that their buttocks are clean.

I know this, my father knows this, even the emperor's grandfather knows this. But these are things that can't be changed for the time being, so all the time, they have turned a blind eye.

Brother Tiger, think twice! ”

Zhang Ru said resolutely: "Youjiao, if Brother Tiger wants to think so much, when you ascend the throne as the emperor, you can be a gentleman who doesn't care about anything." First he fought with the officials of Beijing, then with the Tartars, then with the rebels, and now with the officials of the world.

This fight back and forth is not half beneficial to me, but it has made a lot of enemies, and everyone wants to kill me.

There is only one reason why I did this, and that is to make Daming truly rich and strong, whether it is economically, politically, or militaryly, it is a strong country. The hundred years of humiliation of the weak Song Dynasty, I don't want it to appear on Daming, never.

I don't know if I'm going to succeed in what I'm doing, but I'm going to do my best.

How difficult it was when the sea ban was opened, but you and I joined hands to do what no one else could do.

Now, it's time for you and my brother to join hands again.

Otherwise, the huge financial income brought by the opening of the sea ban every year will be cheaper for those insatiable corrupt officials in the end.

Don't look at Jingcha, it seems that it can get rid of a corrupt official, but in fact, these people who have been purged are just victims of political struggle.

Sitting on the empty mountain, neither you nor I can guarantee that the Ming Dynasty will not be eroded by these silverfish. ”

Zhu Youzhu fell into deep thought when he heard this, and what Zhang Ru said entered his heart every sentence.

The accumulation of disadvantages in officialdom is indeed what he has always wanted to do but can't do it, and now Zhang Ru says that he wants to do it, and he instinctively wants to support it.

But he also knew that if he was the enemy of the entire officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, even with the support of him, the emperor, Zhang Ru might not be able to really go through this road.

Zhang Ru did not disturb the emperor's contemplation, he believed that his brother would be able to give him a satisfactory answer.

He even made a decision in his heart, if the emperor agreed, then he could be a grandfather in Daming for a few years, if he didn't agree, he would return to the mountains and forests in advance. (To be continued.) )
