Chapter 231: The Deal of Cutting Meat

"It's not an honor for Your Highness to come."

"Lord Zheng is polite, Lord Zheng has become the governor of Shaanxi, and this king should have come to celebrate a long time ago."

Like everyone, Zhu Cunshu faced the young Zheng Xunrui, who was a little excessive, and felt surprised and shocked, it was this young Zheng Xunrui who did things that people dare not underestimate, especially in less than a month in Xi'an, an earthquake occurred in the entire officialdom, so that the officials could do things honestly, and let the people recite and love.

When Zheng Xunrui faced Zhu Cunshu, his attitude was still in place, after all, he was the prince, to say that this King of Qin has always been a mystery in history, he once surrendered to Li Zicheng, and then he didn't know what happened, and his life and death were unknown.

Zhu Cunshu's attitude was a little nervous, which was expected by Zheng Xunrui, after all, so many things had happened in Xi'an Fucheng, and there were many officials who were imprisoned in the prison, if Zhu Cunshu could still be indifferent, it would be unreasonable.

Zheng Xunrui didn't say anything, and waited until Zhu Cunshu sat down, and slowly spoke.

"This official has not been in Xi'an for a long time, originally wanted to slowly familiarize himself with the situation, but he had no choice but to encounter some tricky things, and he had to deal with them, and the officials who were imprisoned in the prison have reached dozens of people, and the official is also heartbroken in his heart, I don't know what His Royal Highness thinks about these things."

I don't ask why, I don't explain the reason, I ask suddenly.

Zhu Cunshu was even more nervous, and almost stood up, Zheng Xunrui mentioned so many things that happened in Xi'an Fucheng, it must have involved him, otherwise there is no need to ask, and there is no need to invite him, the prince, to the governor's yamen, but Zhu Cunshu also knows the affairs of officialdom, since Zheng Xunrui said it clearly, it means that there is another way out of the matter, otherwise people will fold a piece of paper to the emperor, and everything will be solved.

"Lord Zheng is vigorous and resolute, rectify the rule of officials, this king admires it very much, this thing in the yamen, this king is not good at character, and I ask Lord Zheng for forgiveness."

"What His Highness said is, but there are also strange things about this official, His Highness knows that he can't meddle in the affairs of the government, but the fact that this official knows doesn't seem to be the case."

Zhu Cunshu's face turned pale, Zheng Xunrui is the left deputy imperial envoy, and he is also the governor of Shaanxi, just by virtue of this identity, he impeached him, the prince, it was a hand-to-hand capture, and the reason why he did not do it directly must be for a reason.

However, Zhu Cunshu was not willing to be defeated in a few words.

"Lord Zheng laughed, this king does not dare to interfere in the affairs of the government, the subordinates in the palace may not do well in some places, and there have been such matters before, Lord Zheng pointed out, after this king goes back, he must be restrained."

Zheng Xunrui showed a smile on his face, it seems that this Zhu Cunshu still has some knowledge.

"This official invites His Royal Highness to come to the governor's yamen, presumably His Royal Highness understands the meaning, if His Highness doesn't want to say anything, then the official has no choice but to do business, what happens in the future, Your Highness don't blame this official for being ruthless."

Zhu Cunshu's face changed rapidly, and he lowered his head and began to ponder.

Zheng Xunrui was not in a hurry, picked up the teacup and tasted it slowly, he didn't like to drink tea, he had always drunk boiled water in his previous life, but now he likes to taste tea.

After a long while, Zhu Cunshu raised his head and looked at Zheng Xunrui as he spoke.

"Lord Zheng, this king is also a person who understands, what does Lord Zheng want, what do you need this king to do, just open your mouth, this king will definitely do his best."

Zheng Xunrui's face showed a smile again, he likes to deal with smart people, if Zhu Cunshu keeps pretending to be confused, his goal may not be achieved, suing Zhu Cunshu to the imperial court, this is not in line with his original intention, and there is no need to do this.

"His Royal Highness said so, then the official will not go around the corner, the official has been cleaning up the wrongs these days, and has found a lot of things, but the official does not want to kill them all, everyone is in the officialdom, it is not easy, if it is not excessive, the official does not want to pursue it, but the official is also very difficult, all parts of Shaanxi have suffered famine one after another, the people are not happy, there are homeless people everywhere, plus the rogues are looting everywhere, even some gentry and rich households can not support it, let alone ordinary people."

Zhu Cunshu's face turned pale again, and he vaguely understood what he meant.

This kind of trick has appeared too many times, and it has been caught by others, then there is only money to settle it, the so-called sacrifice of wealth to avoid disasters, which is similar to the trick of unjust prison, the only difference is that it depends on where the money is used, and it enters the pockets of individuals, which must be investigated and punished, and it is a great act of kindness.

After barely squeezing out a smile, Zhu Cunshu spoke.

"Lord Zheng is exhausted, and this king also knows that there are too many disasters and famines in various parts of Shaanxi, and the people's lives are indeed sad, and this king believes that the imperial court should vigorously provide relief."

"This doesn't need to be reminded by His Highness, the official has already done it, but the court can't come up with so much silver, in this case, His Highness thinks the official should do it."

Zhu Cunshu looked at Zheng Xunrui and began to pretend to be stupid.

"Lord Zheng is in danger of this king, the affairs of the government, this king is really difficult to ask, and he didn't think of these things."

This qiē is all expected by Zheng Xunrui, if a few words can make Zhu Cunshu take out money and food, it will be too simple, Zhu Cunshu is a prince after all, he has seen the world, and he will not bow his head lightly.

"What His Royal Highness said is that the official has also adopted some methods, the corrupt officials and corrupt officials who have been investigated and punished, all the mansions have been raided, and the seized money and grain have all entered the treasury for the relief of the people, these officials have fished and fleshed the people, and they have done all kinds of evil, and it is also what the officials should do to raid their mansions, but unfortunately the money and food confiscated are far from enough, and the officials have been thinking of ways these days to see how to make the people stable and how to find more money and food, Your Highness thinks, should the officials investigate and punish more officials."

Zhu Cunshu's face turned pale, and his body trembled slightly.

"Lord Zheng is dedicated to the people, this king admires him very much, since this is the case, this king must support Lord Zheng."

"His Royal Highness has such a heroic spirit, the official admires it very much, as long as His Royal Highness is willing to make a move, the official will definitely be able to get through the difficulties, the people of Shaanxi, I also want to thank the prince."

Zhu Cunshu felt pain in his flesh, since he had spoken, he had taken out less silver, and he would definitely not be able to say it.

"Lord Zheng praised it, and Ben Wan is willing to donate 10,000 taels of silver."

Speaking of this amount, Zhu Cunshu's face turned even paler, and silver was equal to his life.

The smile on Zheng Xunrui's face became more kind.

"This official searched the mansion of the prefect of Xi'an, and seized 400,000 taels of silver, even the official was surprised, how did he find so much silver, and he didn't know how much he was greedy for ink, no wonder the people of Shaanxi couldn't survive. If the people can't settle down, the governor of the official will be incompetent. ”

Zheng Xunrui's words flashed like thunder, Zhu Cunshu couldn't sit still, he found that he had underestimated Zheng Xunrui's wisdom, and every word that people said was pointed to the key point, although he had not yet said the number openly.

If you really want Zheng Xunrui to clearly say the number, it may be the moment when he is close to turning his face, Zhu Cunshu knows very well that since he wants to take out money and food, he must pass these money and food, and maintain a good relationship with Zheng Xunrui, if he takes out money and food under the situation of being persecuted, and leaves a bad impression, it will be too wronged.

Gritting his teeth, Zhu Cunshu spoke again.

"This king can't imagine that the people of Shaanxi live so hard, the official can't ask about the affairs of the government, and the situation of the people is really not very clear, Lord Zheng cares for the people so much, the king is very grateful, and the king decided to take out 100,000 taels of silver."

Zheng Xunrui lowered his head and did not answer.

This silence made sweat drops appear on Zhu Cunshu's forehead, and taking out 100,000 taels of silver was equivalent to cutting his flesh, could it be that Zheng Xunrui was still dissatisfied, and at this time, Zhu Cunshu would not continue to speak.

"His Royal Highness took out 100,000 taels of silver to help the people, which should be praised, but the government is not only short of silver, but also short of food.

Zhu Cunshu was silent and stopped talking.

Zheng Xunrui smiled again on his face and spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, today's conversation, you know and I know, there are some things that don't have to be said thoroughly, and there is still a tacit understanding between His Highness and the official, but if all the words are said thoroughly, it will be meaningless, this is a line of life, and the truth of seeing each other in the future is also understood, the official doesn't want to go around the bend, His Highness took out 100,000 taels of silver, 10,000 stone of grain, and the rest of the matters, the official will find a way."

Zheng Xunrui said it very simply.

Zhu Cunshu's body trembled for a while, according to the current price of grain, 10,000 stone of grain, close to 100,000 taels of silver, this is indeed a lion's mouth, but Zheng Xunrui's words are very clear, he is really going to tear his face, his life must be difficult, not to mention that the prefect of Xi'an Mansion, whose mansion was raided, found 400,000 taels of silver at home.

"Lord Zheng said so, this king has nothing to say, just do what Lord Zheng said."

"That's good, two days later, the official will hold a ceremony, the prince must vigorously publicize the matter of donating food and relieving the people, so that officials at all levels in Shaanxi can see it and know what to do."

When he left the governor's yamen, Zhu Cunshu wanted to scold his mother, but he didn't know whose mother to scold, he came to the governor's yamen, nearly 200,000 taels of silver was gone, and he didn't know if he would take out more money and food in the future, but thinking about it from another aspect, he took out the money and food, saying that he was safe, Zheng Xunrui would definitely not pursue other problems, this is a good thing, compared with those officials who were investigated and punished, this is very good.

Zheng Xunrui has learned Zheng Xunrui's ability, and he also knows that this governor is indeed not simple
