Chapter 444: Asking for Trouble

(12 points)

Participating in the impeachment and dismissal of 38 prefectural and county officials in one breath and all the senior officials present were shocked in their hearts, and as soon as this fold was published, it would immediately cause a sensation in the government and the opposition, and the big point of this matter was dereliction of duty, and it was not a small fart, and it did not cause bad consequences.

Zhang Pengxi thought more, although the fourteenth master is a real and unknown prince, but after all, it has not been officially canonized, and the third, fourth, and eighth masters may not be completely dead. Who of these prefectural officials in Gyeonggi has no background behind them? This move can be said to have offended countless people.

After a slight sigh, he bowed and said: "Fourteenth master, the longevity festival is coming, this year is the emperor's sixtieth birthday, the whole country celebrates, at this time the impeachment of the chapter is quite inappropriate, besides, this matter has not had a bad impact on Australian immigrants after all, and participating in the impeachment and removal is also contrary to the emperor's purpose of leniency, and I hope that the fourteenth master will think twice." ”

Fu Ningan didn't want to wade into this troubled water, so he hurriedly said: "Fourteenth Master, although these local officials are annoying, but they also have unavoidable hardships, many immigrants have already left during the 'seal' period, if they are intercepted layer by layer, in order to ensure the safety of immigrants, it is inevitable to allocate food for relief, which will inevitably cause a deficit, and affect local stability, they do have difficulties, and I hope that the Fourteenth Master will be a little compassionate." ”

Shi Shilun has no good impression of these dirty officials, these local officials are now poured out of a mold, and the things that are good are rushed up, and the things that are not good are pushed if they can be pushed, and they can be hidden.

Zhao Hongxie, the governor of Zhili, wanted to intercede for his subordinates, but he was still waiting for the guilt, and he was still counting on Yinzhen to help him speak well in front of Kangxi, where did he dare to say more.

Yinxiang was also silent, wondering in his heart what did the old fourteen suddenly sing like this? Lao Fourteen is not an impulsive person, and the local officials on the side of Gyeonggi are not clear, he just cares about Australian immigration, or does he have other plans and play on the topic? What is certain is that this move will inevitably lead to panic in the officialdom and a drastic change in the direction of the wind.

After pondering for a while, Yinzhen said: "The longevity festival is coming, naturally you can't affect the emperor's mood because of this trivial matter. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment before he said in an accentuated tone: "There is one point, I hope you can correct it, the emperor is lenient, not for officials, but for the people, the so-called more is better than less, is to ask local officials not to be focused, to change the way to toss the people, not to let officials push each other, wait and see, not to let local officials be masons, carpenters, and shopkeepers."

Now the officialdom has been corrupted to what extent, you should know in your hearts that arrogance, eagerness, flattery, and exquisiteness, few are solid, and time and energy are spent on pulling relationships, and they are ushered in and sent to the same year, the same door, the same teacher, the same official, the same errand, and the same township, but all those who can be touched on the side have done their best to contact, in order to communicate with each other, take care of each other, take care of each other, and carry each other.

Where is this still the local parent officials, in vain they are all scholars, but they have long abandoned courtesy, righteousness, honesty, and shame as if they were shoeed, why did this atmosphere form? That's because they saw that the court would not make a big move, and the law would not blame the people, so this king will come to kill chickens and monkeys this time, and clean up the officialdom. ”

Everyone here was stunned, the fourteenth master is going to start rectifying the rule of officials? There are fourteen masters named impeachment, and the thirty-eight government and county officials have no hope at all, whether they go home to retire or exile to Australia depends on their creation, which is really a flying disaster. ..., Zhang Pengxi was silent when he boarded, and when the fourteenth master got off the car, he sang such a play, how could it happen for no reason? Before figuring out what he really thinks, it's better to wait and see.

Fu Ningan just wants to scold people, isn't this a life to roast him on the fire, he is now also the secretary of the ministry, this large-scale impeachment, how can he stay out of the matter?

Shi Shilun was secretly happy, this official should have been rectified a long time ago, but the Fourteenth Master now doesn't even have the identity of the prince, can he be fully rectified?

"With this fold, there are immigration tasks and officials in the provinces along the way will no longer dare to slack off." After a pause, Yinzhen spoke again: "Although the source is controlled, the provincial immigration plans cannot be easily changed, and changing the order will inevitably lead to instability among the people. The immigrants in Tianjin must gradually increase the intensity of transshipment. ”

After a deep sigh, he said again: "The grain can't be transferred from Shanghai, I will return to Beijing tomorrow, please ask the emperor to decree that the grain will be intercepted on the spot to cope with the immediate difficulties, the weather is warmer, prone to epidemics, immigrants gather together, we must take strict precautions, we should buy medicinal materials as soon as possible, in case of emergency, the first batch of immigrants, the impact is very strong, no accidents are allowed, what difficulties do you have?" ”

Hearing that Yinzhen proposed to intercept the grain to solve the immediate crisis, everyone was happy, such a two-pronged approach, naturally they could sit back and relax, and the atmosphere in the room was also slightly relaxed, Shi Shilun preemptively said: "Fourteenth master, there are many difficulties, but they can all be solved with silver, and suddenly there are more than 200,000 mouths, and there is a lot of pressure in all aspects of Tianjin City." ”

"As soon as Wen Xian opened his mouth, he had nothing else to do except ask for silver." Yinzhen said with a smile: "That's it, I'll add an additional 300,000 yuan, you have to use it for me, don't be cheap to those dirty little officials." ”

"Fourteenth Master, everything is expensive now, what can 300,000 help? At least 500,000. Shi Shilun immediately bargained: "200,000 people eat and drink Lazar, which ones don't need silver, as well as those that protect against the cold and prevent epidemics." ”

Seeing Shi Shilun gushing down, Yinzhen's head was big for a while, and he immediately interrupted: "400,000, do you want love." ”

"Xie Fourteenth Master." Shi Shilun bowed with a smile.

Yinlu, Fu Ning'an, Zhao Hongxie, Du Chengsi and others were dumbfounded, how could the Fourteenth Master talk so well to this Shi Buquan?

On the way to Tianjin Naval Academy, the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu asked the thirteenth Yinxiang in a low voice, and said, "What does the fourteenth brother mean when he said that local officials are masons, carpenters, and shopkeepers?" ”

Yinxiang smiled: "What is the mason good at?" And the mud, the carpenter, when playing the ink line, he always opens his eyes and closes his eyes, and shakes his hand to the shopkeeper, needless to say. ”

This is really an image, Yinlu smiled when he heard it, and said: "When the fourteenth brother doesn't stop, he always has to toss something when he returns to Beijing." ”

Yinxiang didn't answer, but he was secretly worried in his heart, it is not a trivial matter to rectify the rule of officials, I don't know that the old fourteen is just killing chickens and monkeys, or he wants to make a big move, before, he didn't even show the slightest bit of tone, this is an errand that commits public anger, if you are not careful, you will be attacked by officials of all sizes, and now this situation is not easy to come by.

Although the weather is still a little cold, there are already many new students in disorderly clothes on the simple playground of Tianjin Academy who are conducting queue training, Yinzhen and his party took a hasty look, and then came to the residence of the sixteenth elder brother Yinlu.

As soon as he sat down, Yinzhen smiled and said, "Sixteenth brother, how many recruits have you recruited?" ”

"It's only four thousand." Yinlu smiled embarrassedly: "I have no one at hand, and I don't have any silver, but when I saw that there were many people who came to sign up, I borrowed 200 soldiers from Du Chengsi, the general soldier of Tianjin, and moved 40,000 taels of silver from Haishan, so I dared to recruit people." ”

"Well done." Yinzhen smiled and nodded, and said: "I will allocate four hundred veterans who went north with the fleet to you as instructors, train first, and the sailor instructors will temporarily train sailors in Nanyang, and after a year, I will transfer you and let you recruit." "...," yes. Yinlu and Wu Ge replied in unison.

Yinxiang was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Fourteenth brother, you draw four hundred here, and I only have more than two thousand people there." ”

"How many people do you want to clear out the pirates?" Yinzhen glanced at him and said, "You have to be too little, and select someone from the Fujian Navy Division to fill it." ”

Seeing that Yinxiang was robbed, Yinlu changed the topic with a smile and said, "You have been floating on the sea for a few days, and on the sixteenth, we will have a banquet to drink a few glasses with you today." ”

"It's still the sixteenth brother who thinks thoughtfully." Yinxiang said with a smile: "Shi Buquan, that guy knows that he wants money, and he is reluctant to set a table at the banquet." ”

"Brother Thirteen, that's wrong." Yinlu said with a smile: "Shi Buquan's official reputation in Tianjin is very good, he is very frugal on weekdays, and two meals a day are three dishes and one soup, one meat and two vegetables plus a tofu soup." ”

Seeing that Yinlu was serious, Yinxiang hurriedly explained with a smile: "It's just a joke, Shi is not all a person and an official, how can I not know?" Besides, how can the fourteenth brother's silver be so easy to ask for, then he will add 100,000 yuan as soon as he opens his mouth, doesn't he know that he will not be greedy. ”

Yinzhen's heart moved when he heard this, and he said thoughtfully: "It is the duty of officials to be honest and honest, but they can't be too hard." Suspend it for two years, and consider giving the officials a long salary. ”

"It's a very popular move." Yinxiang said with a smile, and said tentatively: "Fourteenth brother, do you really plan to rectify the rule of officials?" It's a big game. ”

"It's just a good example." Yinzhen said disapprerovingly: "The rectification of the government can be described as a broken muscle, and it must be determined by the emperor Amma, today's move, I am just looking for some trouble for myself." ”

Asking yourself for trouble? Yinlu, Yinxiang, and Wuge were all stunned when they heard this, but Fang Bao, who had not made a sound, praised: "This trouble is good to find, and you can advance and retreat freely." ”

Yinxiang also reacted immediately, and couldn't help but secretly praise the old fourteen for being cautious, the expedition to Europe and the United States is an unprecedented feat, but it was the old fourteen who sent troops and money, and single-handedly planned, and there was nothing to do with the court at all.
