Chapter 55 I'm not uncommon among these people
The next day is the big court meeting, and the Donglin Party officials saw Zhu Cheng standing in the ranks of the court meeting in a grand manner, and they were a little drumming in their hearts, and they didn't know who was going to be unlucky today. This Zhu Cheng is simply the moldy star of the Donglin Party, and since dealing with him, the Donglin Party has not been unlucky. Yesterday at noon, the prisoners were sacrificed, and they originally had nothing to do with the Donglin Party, but when they met Zhu Cheng, they lost one of their cadres, Hou Sui.
The Emperor of the Apocalypse had a solemn face, and the matter discussed today involved the interests of too many people, especially the Donglin Party line, most of whom were from Jiangnan, and they should have jumped out to shout. As the saying goes, cutting off people's financial means is like killing their parents, and this time driving the dog into the poor alley, it is difficult to guarantee what tricks these Donglin Party people will come up with. Although he has Zhu Cheng and Wei Zhongxian on his side to help, after all, he is lonely, and he doesn't know what the result will be. But for the sake of the stability and harmony of the Ming Dynasty, this matter is imperative.
After a while, the procedures of the court meeting were completed, and the Emperor of the Apocalypse asked: "Recently, there has been a great drought in Shaanxi Province, and there are hungry people everywhere, and in addition, there are Han people who have retreated from Liaodong in the north of Beijing, and they are also living without a living. ”
When the Donglin Party heard this, they bowed their heads one by one and remained silent. Let them speak of righteousness and fight for fame, they are doing it, but this kind of practice is not written in the book of the saints, so they have not learned it.
After all, Zuo Guangdou is a generation of famous ministers, thought for a long time, and said: "Your Majesty, if there is enough food, the minister is willing to go to the disaster relief." ”
Yu Shi Cui Chengxiu was Wei Zhongxian's confidant, and he asked unceremoniously, "How is Zuo Gong going to provide disaster relief?" First, how to transport food into the disaster area, whether to take 6 routes or waterways; secondly, how to put the grain, whether it is given for free, or in other ways to redeem huàn; Again, how to maintain the order of release? Have you considered all of this? ”
Zuo Guangdou came forward with the courage of blood and qi for a while, and when he was asked by Cui Chengxiu, he opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer.
Cui Chengxiu sighed: "Disaster relief. 6. It is very difficult to transport grain by road, and only 30 out of 10 percent of the grain transported can reach the destination. Although the consumption of water 6 is small, there is a great drought in the world, and the rivers in many places are cut off, and even if the flow is not interrupted, the water level is greatly reduced, which is not conducive to water transportation. Compared with transporting grain, it is more difficult to release grain. As the saying goes, there are clouds, ascend to Mien, and fight Mi hatred. If the victims were given free food because of the disaster, the victims would take the court's assistance for granted, and if they were poorly fed, the court would become a grudge. So, I think it's better to work for work. It's a pity that Shaanxi can't find any place that needs a large number of hired workers, otherwise, let them dredge the Yellow River? ”
Cui Chengxiu seemed to be reporting to the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and seemed to be talking to himself.
Ruan Dacheng had already communicated with Wei Zhongxian, and when he heard this, he said: "Wechen has a way to solve the problem of hiring and transportation. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse knew Ruan Dacheng's idea, but he still pretended to be very happy and said, "Aiqing quickly say it." ”
"The road in Jingxi Huangzhuang is smooth and solid, and I heard that the road cost of Jingxi Huangzhuang is quite low. If a road is paved from the grain-producing areas in the south of the Yangtze River to the Shaanxi-Gansu region, it will not only solve the transportation problem, but also absorb many people who have no means of livelihood. ”
Hearing that this is related to Zhu Cheng again, the Donglin Party people are as disgusting as eating flies, why is there something about Zhu Cheng everywhere, can't you stop it?
Li Ruhua, the head of the household, looked embarrassed, and said: "Your Majesty, since Emperor Shenzongxian, I can't make ends meet next year, and it is already difficult to squeeze out the disaster relief funds. ”
Zheng Sanjun, the left attendant of the household department, was a member of the Donglin Party, and he took the opportunity to slash Zhu Cheng and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Children's Paradise is rich in the world, why not let the Children's Paradise wrap up this road?" ”
Chen Suoxue, the right attendant of the household department, and Zheng Sanjun are raccoon dogs, and added: "The road at the entrance of Huangzhuang seems to be called a cement road, and cement seems to be a specialty of Huangzhuang. ”
Zhu Cheng glared, Zheng Sanjun and Chen Suxue couldn't help but take three steps back, and the Donglin Party people were really a little afraid of him.
Zhu Cheng sneered and said: "You two adults seem to bully children very well, it seems that you are the martial arts masters among children, all of them are down under three feet, standing in Yizhuang and yelling, no one dares to stand up." I heard that Zheng Sanjun and Chen Suoxue are two adults who occupy houses and lie on the ground in their hometowns, and their property cannot be spent even for three generations, so can't they donate it to build roads? The merit of repairing bridges and roads is immeasurable, just to make up for the yin virtues of the two adults. ”
Zheng Sanjun ignored Zhu Cheng's sarcasm and shouted: "Who are you listening to, I was born in poverty, my family has no property left, how can I be as rich as a children's paradise, and a bottle of perfume sells for six taels of silver." ”
"Really? Then where did Lord Zheng get the money to spend all his time in Beijing, he should check it carefully. ”
Wei Zhongxian said sympathetically: "Dongchang was ordered by the emperor to investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials. Since Master Zheng is as clear as water and as cheap as a mirror, then let's cooperate with Dongchang to investigate. ”
Zheng Sanjun's face is like earth, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty are all clean officials, but few butts are clean when they are checked. He asked other Donglin Party officials for help with his eyes, but the Donglin Party was frightened by Zhu Cheng's big mold star, how dare he step forward.
The auxiliary party has returned to his hometown, and the current cabinet assistant position has finally fallen to Ye Xianggao's head, as the head of the civil official and the leader of the Donglin Party, he can't help but come forward.
Ye Xianggao left class and said in a low voice: "Zhu Cheng, Zheng Sanjun's words are innocent, offending the honorable driver, please forgive me in front of the old man." ”
"Lord Ye, you seem to have made a mistake, it is Dongchang who wants to check Lord Zheng, not Jinyiwei. Although Jinyiwei has the duty of supervising hundreds of officials, I have always thought that Lord Zheng is extremely incorruptible. Since the clean ones are self-purifying, and the turbidity are self-turbid, it doesn't matter if you cooperate with the East Factory, just to promote the reputation of Lord Zheng's incorruptibility. After investigating clearly, I can also ask the emperor for an incorruptible character to give to Lord Zheng and hang it at home as an heirloom. ”
Emperor Apocalypse said: "Since Zhu Cheng asked me for words, then I will be approved." Zheng Sanjun, your name will be jointly promoted by Dongchang and Dali Temple, if you are really honest, then I will give you a clean word. ”
Ye Xianggao was silent, this time Zheng Sanjun is finished, the review of the East Factory can also be pushed to the factory guard to frame him, Dali Temple is controlled by civil officials, once the case is decided, Zheng Sanjun will never be able to turn over.
Zhu Cheng said: "The minister Zheng Sanjun thanked the emperor for his reward. The emperor treats the people with the grace of heaven and earth, and even if Weichen is bankrupt, he must build a hard and flat road for the Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhu Youzhen burst into tears on the side and said, "The younger brother also seconded the proposal. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse was secretly happy in his heart, and the performance ability of the two younger brothers was really strong: "No matter how much you lose, I can't lose it to you, I also cut back on food and clothing, let's make some money." ”
Wei Zhongxian added: "The old slave also took out his life savings to fill this hole. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "But the minister's money can't be in vain, after all, I'm just a child, using the child's New Year's money to repair the road, spreading it is detrimental to the majesty of the Ming Dynasty, so this road is my investment." Since investment, of course, there must be profits, and this profit will come from the road. In addition to military mobilization and disaster relief food, all carriages and horses walking on it in the future must pay a fee for passage. The ministers of the court are benevolent and righteous, and when they walk on the road, they must pay twice the fare. ”
Ye Xianggao heard this and said, "Your Majesty, this thing of competing with the people seems to be a bit inappropriate. ”
Zhu Cheng said: "Where to compete for the people's profits, if you want to be fast and stable, take the cement road built by the official, if you are stingy, take the original official road." Moreover, the toll is only for cars and horses, and there is no charge for walking. Lord Ye is old and frail, you should exercise more, you walk on the road, the official guarantees that there will be no charge. ”
Ye Xianggao ignored Zhu Cheng's sarcastic words, and said in his heart: "Keep the original official road, then who else will take your road." If you die, you big mold star should also take care of yourself. ”
Cui Chengxiu heard that someone was building a road, and said: "Wechen is afraid that there will be nothing to do for the disaster victims and cause a civil uprising." Since Lord Zhu is willing to build roads, Weichen is also willing to go to Shaanxi Province for disaster relief. ”
Emperor Tianqi said: "That's the case, Cui Chengxiu, I have appointed you as the governor of Shaanxi, presiding over this disaster relief, giving Shang Fang the sword, and officials of the seventh rank and below can cut it first and then play." Zhu Cheng was appointed as the head of the Ministry of Industry and supervised the construction of cement roads from Jiangxi Province to Shaanxi Province. ”
As soon as Donglin Qunchen heard that Zhu Cheng had entered the court in white, they immediately talked about it like ants that had exploded their nests. Some officials burst into tears and demanded that the Emperor of the Apocalypse retract his fate; Some officials even hit their heads on the pillars, but their heads hit the pillars, but their legs did not move.
Zhu Cheng yelled: "Shut up!" If anyone can afford to build a road, he will take it. ”
As soon as they heard that they wanted money, the Donglin Party slowly quieted down, they have always been the masters who sacrificed their lives and did not give up their money, who wants to be the head of this wrong.
Zhu Cheng thought about it, and he couldn't make the Donglin Party jump off the wall now, because there was one more thing for them to jump behind, so he said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, since the ministers think that Weichen is not suitable to be this five-grade Langzhong, I am not uncommon." I guarantee to the emperor a person, this person's surname is Xu Guangqi, a person from Songjiang Mansion, a Jinshi in the 32nd year of Wanli, and he is very familiar with all things in the Ministry of Industry. Such qualifications, let alone being a langzhong, even if you are a cabinet minister, you can do it. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse asked, "Where is this Xu Guangqi now?" ”
Zhu Cheng grinned and said, "It's in Weichen's Tongle Primary School, and now it's Zhu Youzhen's full-time teacher. ”
The Emperor of the Apocalypse saw Zhu Cheng squeezing his eyebrows, and understood that Xu Guangqi and Zhu Cheng had a very good relationship, and he was no different from Zhu Chengdang, who could build the road well, so he said: "Since this is the case, then appoint Xu Guangqi as the squire of the Ministry of Industry, in addition to focusing on road construction, he must also be responsible for other daily affairs of the Ministry of Industry. ”
Ye Xianggao almost fell before he drove Zhu Cheng away, and another Zhu Cheng's henchman Xu Guangqi came over, isn't this the front door to reject the tiger and the back door to enter the wolf? But Xu Guangqi is a genuine Jinshi, and they have no excuse to get rid of him. All the Donglin Party members said in their hearts: "The mold star is shining, the mold star is shining, this Zhu Cheng is really our mold star." ”
