Zhang Ru smiled: "Oh, I've been waiting for this question for a while, but everyone is too reserved, there is no way, I have to hold back." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After arriving in the southeast, how to deal with the problem is your business.

After calling you over today and asking your opinions, I want to ask you what to do. ”

Guo Xing looked stunned, before he identified a person, he could keep silent, but after identifying a person, he couldn't do it.

Of course, Zhang Ru is just joking, so as not to hurt Guo Xing's self-esteem.

Meng Hai talked eloquently: "The two of you have no opinion for the time being, so let's talk about my opinion first."

Since the grandfather decided to take action against the southeastern officialdom, the first thing he did was to figure out the factions of the southeastern officialdom. On the surface, there is no faction in everyone, but in fact almost every official has a faction.

Teachers, teachers, examiners, and people who have held these positions are all suspicious.

Even if these people themselves have not been greedy for ink, as long as someone uses their name to do illegal things, they will not be able to get away with it.

How to deal with these people at that time, whether to let them go lightly or treat them equally, this point must be clear to the grandfather first.

Second, everyone knows that the southeastern officialdom is equivalent to the confinement of the Duke of Wei, even if the grandfather has a close personal relationship with the Duke of Wei, if he wants to plant his own green pine in someone else's back garden, I am afraid that it is not so simple.

Once there is a dislike between Wei Guogong and his grandfather, we will have a hard time in Jiangnan.

Third, the officialdom in Jiangnan is intertwined, with local distractions, rich businessmen, nobles and ministers, and eunuchs. Who these people collude with whom, and who has enmity with whom, all need to be investigated.

If you don't do these things well, it will be difficult to attack Jiangnan officialdom.

And the grandfather also has to consider a problem, that is, once a corrupt official is detected, he may be able to bring out dozens or hundreds of corrupt officials, which is the most headache.

The officials' salaries are already low, and this is the root of their greed for ink, and if this fundamental problem is not solved, everything is empty talk. ”

After Meng Hai finished speaking, he smacked his lips and looked at Zhang Ru.

Chen Yang said: "What Brother Meng said is indeed a big problem, and after these problems are put together, they will become even bigger problems.

Once we start, there will be no turning back, and if there is no turning back, we can only go on one road.

The officials in Beijing are bound to attack and even threaten Your Majesty with a boycott of the court, and the pressure on Your Majesty will increase sharply, and it will inevitably be difficult to ride a tiger.

Once Your Majesty is difficult to handle, our trip to the southeast is only afraid that we will be stillborn. ”

Guo Xing said with a smile: "The two of you are talking about these problems, I am afraid that my grandfather has a clever plan, so I don't have to worry about them." ”

He was very open-minded, relatively speaking, he knew Zhang Ru better than the other two.

From Zhang Ru's unknown nationality to fame, it has only been ten years, and Guo Xing has a certain understanding of the major events that happened to Zhang Ru or the people around him in these ten years.

Since Du Shanbai looked for him, he felt that his opportunity had come, so he specially inquired about Zhang Ru's news.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Ru said: "Don't hide it from you, I am not half sure now." The reason why he wanted to rectify the Ming officialdom was that although it was not a whim, he did not make too many preparations.

If this father is really ready and ready, why do you need the help of people of insight. ”

These words made all three of them frown.

If it is really as Zhang Ru said, then they really did not go to the big tree this time, but entered the big pit.

Not to mention the Ming officialdom, it is the southeast officialdom, which is not a small pit. With the habit formed over the years, officials have no high salaries, and can only rely on corruption to earn money to support their families. Now Zhang Ru wants to kill this kind of corruption, but does not fundamentally increase the income of officials, which is similar to the peeling of the grass during the period of Emperor Taizu.

Whether it was those officials, or the few scholars who were sitting next to Zhang Ru now, they didn't want what happened in that era to happen again.

Seeing the gloom written on the faces of several people, Zhang Ru smiled and said: "Don't worry, you all said that you want to fundamentally solve the problem of officials' salaries, and I naturally can't even solve this problem." The Duke has sent a petition to His Majesty and asked for a 10% of the money from the sea to be used to subsidize the officials' salaries. As for the honorable side, it is reduced year by year.

This year is the first year, and they can't be reduced too much for the time being, these nobles are not vegetarians, and once they perceive something, they will inevitably make a noise.

Therefore, in the first year, it is not appropriate to make a big move.

Now I don't know how many relatives of the entire Ming Dynasty are, everyone is reaching out to ask the court for money, a prince's annual income is 10,000 stone of grain, what about ten? What about a hundred?

As for the rest, it is up to all of you here to work together with my father. ”

The stones hanging in the hearts of several people were immediately put down, as long as the fundamental problems could be solved, and the others saw the tricks after arriving in Jiangnan, they asked themselves if they were still a little able to help Zhang Ru solve some small problems.

Guo Xing asked, "Grandpa, when will it take place?" ”

Zhang Ru said: "Wait a minute, now that the imperial court has not yet decided to issue a decree, let's see the reaction of the vassal kings in various places first." ”

Chen Yang exclaimed: "Grandpa is afraid..."

Zhang Ru made a silent gesture: "You can understand, but you can't say it." ”

Everyone became preoccupied, after coming out of the Dingguo Mansion, Chen Yang and Guo Xing walked in front, and Meng Hai walked in the back alone.

The two people in front deliberately slowed down and waited for Meng Hai, and when he arrived at his side, Guo Xing asked, "What is Brother Meng's opinion?" ”

Meng Hai raised his head suddenly, his eyes flickering: "This is an opportunity and a challenge for us. Succeeded in flying and soaring, failed and ruined, can the two of you really think about it? ”

Guo Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I'm not completely sure for the time being, to be honest, I really don't want to let go of this opportunity." Because when the next opportunity comes, I don't know when it will be. ”

Only Chen Yang's position is very firm: "Dingguo Gong can afford it, and if he is ready to use me, I will make the best use of it." Whatever you think, since I'm already on the boat, I'm not going to come down. Life and death are a fight, and there is no fun in living. ”

Meng Hai and Guo Xing glanced at each other, and they both looked at Chen Yang with some surprise.

After the three of them separated, Chen Yang returned home and began to prepare everything, while Guo Xing went to his teacher to ask, Meng Hai returned home and closed the door, and he didn't know what to do at home.

After the two court meetings, the emperor's side has basically given the answer, and the cabinet has already voted to end, and the conclusion will be announced when the court meeting starts again. (To be continued.) )
