Jingyouzi, Weizuizi, the dog leg of Baoding Mansion.

The dog leg of Baoding Mansion is not a curse, Baoding people practice martial arts with a strong style, the martial arts genre is complicated, and there is naturally no lack of masters, the martial arts master of the Wang Gongxun Mansion of the Beijing Division, most of them are from Baoding, after a long time, the martial arts of Baoding have made a name for themselves in the capital, and the dog legs of Baoding Mansion are as famous as the master of Shaoxing.

Baoding Mansion is the south gate of the Beijing Division, Kangxi was officially established as the capital of Zhili Province in the early years, the Yamen of the Governor of Zhili is the original Baoding Mansion, this is a building sitting north to the south, the scale is magnificent, the layout is rigorous, the style of the Yamen, the governor of Zhili Zhao Hongxie is not in the Fuya, but in Tianjin busy with immigration.

Waiting for Zhenwu in the Futai Yamen is the 'official slaughter' Zhao Shenqiao, Da Chun is in the Fuya around the inspection of the defense arrangement, the protection of the Fuya and the facilities are not comparable to the post station, he will naturally arrange for Zhenwu Majesty to be stationed in the Fuya, Baoding practice martial arts into the wind, he has to be a little more careful.

Zhao Shenqiao arrived at Baoding Mansion only to learn that Zhenwu had gone out of Beijing to inspect Jinshan, and he came from Weifu quickly, he couldn't help but be quite surprised, but he didn't expect Zhenwu's reaction to be so fast.

Before the time, Zhenwu and his entourage quickly entered Baoding Mansion, went straight to the governor's yamen, took a bath and changed clothes, and heard that Zhao Shenqiao was out asking to see, and he was also eager to learn the details of the matter from Zhao Shenqiao's mouth, when he even ordered: "Xuan him in." ”

Zhao Shenqiao has been in Guangdong for the past two years, Jiangnan implemented the paving into the mu, Zhenwu ascended the throne, he was still the first time to meet, as soon as he entered the hall, he knelt down respectfully and said: "Weichen Zhao Shenqiao, respectfully invite the emperor Sheng'an." ”

Zhenwu looked Zhao Shenqiao up and down, he hadn't seen him for two years, this hated 'Guan Tu' had aged a lot, and his body was getting thinner and thinner, but he looked in good spirits, thinking that he was already seventy years old, he couldn't help but sigh secretly. The ministers at hand are all old and can no longer be used, and they must vigorously promote new people, and they groaned slightly. He said kindly: "No courtesy, give a seat, and enjoy tea." ”

After sitting down with his thanksgiving, Zhen Wucai then asked: "In the past two years, you have been running back and forth, but your body is still strong?" ”

"Wechen Xie Huang inquired." Zhao Shenqiao hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen's old bones can still hold up." ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, and said, "You have to cherish your body, now is the time when you are not in good spring." I also pointed out that relying on your efforts, it has been almost a year since Jiangnan implemented the paving into the mu, and there are some things to let young people do, you can just sit in charge. ”

"The emperor is so sympathetic to his subordinates, it is really a blessing for the subjects of the Qing Dynasty, and the ministers respectfully respect the holy oracle." Zhao Shenqiao bowed and replied.

Speaking of which, the transition between the monarch and the minister has been performed, and it is time to cut to the chase. With a slight groan, Zhenwu continued: "I have seen your secret fold. This is very brief, and I will go into details. ”

"Back to the emperor." Zhao Shenqiao bowed and said: "Weichen was ordered to inspect the disaster-stricken provinces in the north, from Jiangning to Henan through Hankou, all the way along the way, through Kaifeng Mansion, Huaiqing Mansion into Shanxi, along Zezhou, Lu'an Mansion, Qinzhou to Taiyuan Mansion, in Yuci County and Fuzhi Yangqu successively received two prison submissions, complaining that Su Keji, the governor of Shanxi, and Su Zhan, the political envoy of Bu, were corrupt and fraudulently received the Anji silver, pension silver, and harm elimination silver allocated by the imperial court.

The emperor repeatedly ordered and strictly prohibited officials from embezzling disaster relief money and grain, and Weichen did not believe it first, and secretly visited the victims of the disaster in two counties and eight towns. Indeed, no one has ever received the security silver, the pension silver, and the punishment silver.

At this time, the two prisoners who were taken in by Weichen said that the other three prisoners who were investigating the matter together had not been contacted for many days, and no one knew their whereabouts. ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly. Although Zhao Shenqiao is a strict person, he is honest and upright, otherwise he would have died many times, and he would never dare to speak falsely to bully the king, and the two prisoners did not dare to make something out of nothing, and they vainly sued the officials of a province, thinking slightly, he asked: "How did the two prisoners find out about this situation?" ”…,

"Back to the emperor." Zhao Shenqiao bowed down and replied: "Weichen also inquired in detail, according to the two prisoners, after the rain, the drought was greatly alleviated, and they were also slack, and it was difficult to get a trip to Shanxi, so they went out to visit together, and learned from the local squires that the imperial court not only did not issue Anji silver, pension silver, and silver to eliminate harm, but instead sent additional servants to build river embankments. ”

Building embankments? Zhenwu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly? Is this Shanxi's cash-for-work? Since it is a cash-for-work payment, there should not be any talk of sending additional servants? After pondering for a long time, he asked, "Who is in charge of relief in Shanxi?" ”

"Back to the emperor, sitting in Shanxi is the Imperial History of the Left Capital of the Imperial Procuratorate."

Narrative? Zhenwu nodded, it is indeed Xu, sitting in Shaanxi is Shangshu Laidu of the Criminal Department, Funingan is in Shandong, Ka Mintu is in Henan, and Xunan is the son of the University Shinalan Mingzhu, the hardcore of the Eight Parties, has a wide range of contacts, and is quite popular, and there are many flags in Shanxi, and he is afraid that most of the officials are familiar with him.

"There is another matter, Weichen has not confirmed it, and he does not dare to say it." Zhao Shenqiao said cautiously.

"Say." Zhenwu snorted slightly, and said, "I don't care about more bad news. ”

"This is suspicious of provocation." Zhao Shenqiao said in a deep voice: "Wechen visited and learned that in this drought, the number of donations from Jin merchants is not a small number. ”

The wealth of the Jin merchants is famous all over the world, this disaster relief, the whole country loses donations, how can the Jin merchants have a reason to see the excitement? Zhenwu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Shenqiao, this matter was indeed suspected of provoking, but he quickly reacted, what Zhao Shenqiao pointed out should be the local officials who forcibly forced the Jin merchants to lose donations, so that they were quite dissatisfied, but the Taiyuan where this matter arrived was naturally clear.

After groaning slightly, he asked, "You have been inspecting all the way, how did the victims from all over the country react to the imperial court's relief?" ”

"Thanksgiving to Dade, the voice of praise is endless, even the victims in Shanxi who have not received the peace silver, the pension silver, and the silver for eliminating the harm are full of praise for this relief." Zhao Shenqiao's old face full of wrinkles like walnuts showed a rare smile, and he said excitedly: "This relief is not only sufficient money and food, but also the most worthy praise is the interest-free loan of the 'Four Hengs', and the victims do not need to borrow usury."

In times of famine and famine, there were few people who did not borrow, and they used to borrow from landlords, squires, and merchants, and the interest was far greater than the taxes paid to the imperial court, and some of them were even difficult to pay off forever.

Wechen steals that the reason why the people are poor, a large part of them is to suffer from usury, Wechen has been in the place for a long time, although he is well aware of the rampant harm of usury, but it is a bitter and unscrupulous law, although usury is extremely cruel, but it cannot be banned, because the people can not do without usury, daily life, birth, old age, sickness and death, natural disasters, rent and tax are inseparable from usury, because of the existence of usury, they can still survive, if it is rashly forbidden, many people can not survive at all.

The interest-free loans of the 'Four Great Hengs' avoided the people from being exploited by usury, which not only helped the people to resume production, but also helped to curb land annexation, which was conducive to saving the people from crisis and emergency, and greatly stimulated the people's support for the imperial court.

Along the way, Wechen can deeply feel the people's praise for interest-free loans, which can be described as unheard of good governance, Wechen does not understand the way of economy, but such a large amount of interest-free loans, Wechen is really worried that it can not be implemented for a long time.

In order to plan for the long term, Weichen pleaded with the emperor to vigorously promote low-interest loans, even if it is two or three points of interest, it is far worse than the common people to borrow usury. ”

Although it was expected, but listening to the words, Zhenwu still smiled on his face, interest-free lending is indeed a treasure to win the hearts of the people, groaning slightly, he said: "Interest-free lending is only for the affected areas, I ascended the throne, and generally give the people some benefits, low-interest lending has now begun to be implemented, the amount of loans, I will increase year by year, the people are poor, the interest can not be high, at most one cent, the 'four constants' I will innovate in the future." ”…,

The 'Four Constants' still need to be innovated? Zhao Shenqiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, isn't it okay to be like this now? This master's heart is really higher than the sky, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The emperor is generous and benevolent, and sympathetic to the people, which is really a blessing of the Qing Dynasty." ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, but he slowly restrained the smile on his face, and groaned slightly, before he said slowly: "When you go to Taiyuan, have you ever seen Zhao Fengzhao, the prefect of Taiyuan?" ”

Zhao Shenqiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and hurriedly bowed down and said: "Weichen is suspected of preventing melons and plums, and he doesn't know how to be a dog." ”

Glancing at him, Zhen Wucai said in a deep voice: "I received the excerpt from Su Keji, the governor of Shanxi, and impeached Zhao Fengzhao, the prefect of Taiyuan, for forcibly extorting more than 300,000 taels of silver from his subordinates, embezzling more than 300,000 taels, do you know?" ”

Zhao Shenqiao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, the other party was so shameless, and he acted so quickly! He has also been an official for decades, and he knows very well that a thief bites and gets three points into the bone, since the other party dares to openly participate in the impeachment, he must have done something to buy off a few officials, which is really easy for Shanxi Governor Su Keji and others.

Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned pale, although he is strict, but there is still a feeling of licking calves, he has high hopes for the second child who is a young man, this time, it can be regarded as killing Zhao Fengzhao, this matter is only afraid that it is impossible to argue.

After being stunned for a while, he got up and knelt down, took off the crown on his head, and kowtowed: "Weichen's family, the third Jinshi, the world is favored by the emperor, and has always been upright, hard and self-disciplined as the family motto, the dog is corrupt and bribed, and the Weichen does not dare to show favoritism, and I sincerely pray that the emperor will strictly investigate, if it is true, I sincerely pray that the emperor will dismiss the Weichen family and correct the court discipline." ”

Zhenwu glanced at him with appreciation, Zhao Shenqiao's father and brother, three generations of six jinshi, enjoy a very high reputation in the Qing Dynasty, 'three jinshi' is not an ordinary glory, Zhao Shenqiao does not defend his son, but is willing to vouch for his son with the honor and disgrace of the Zhao family, not only courageous, but also extremely spicy.

After a slight sigh, he said: "Zhao Fengzhao has served as the prefect of Taiyuan for 14 years, if he bribes more than 300,000 taels, his hometown in Changzhou will definitely be rich, and I have ordered people to go to Changzhou with great fanfare to investigate."
