Chapter 157: Blinded by Silver
Ling Tiancheng's holy decree arrived with the water conservancy commissioner who had been sent.
At this time, Jia Mingyuan had already rushed to the next disaster-stricken town, and only Zhuang Siyan was left in Liu Zhang's location.
She met with the water conservancy personnel, explained the specific plan clearly, and pulled Liu Zhang out to teach her.
If he didn't follow this plan, Zhuang Siyan would definitely not spare him, so he went to Jia Mingyuan to join him.
The higher you go, the more difficult it becomes for those officials.
In the end, Zhuang Siyan had to return to his old business and began to check their details.
Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, how can there be no bottom? Besides, this group of people felt that the emperor was far away, and Ling Tiancheng was busy churning over treason cases all day long, and he would not find out about them at all, so he was a little unscrupulous.
This saved Zhuang Siyan the matter, and as soon as he caught one accurately, it didn't take much effort to get the evidence of these people's crimes.
But she didn't present the things to Ling Tiancheng, and she didn't even say anything to Jia Yuan.
What Ling Tiancheng's situation is now, no one knows better than Zhuang Siyan.
It sounds good to say that he is a high-ranking emperor, but in fact, he doesn't even have a usable talent in his hands, in addition to being related to the rotten paralysis in the past, there is also a point, it is also a problem with the system of the Dasheng Dynasty.
In such a big country, the system of employing people is still using the triennial scientific examination, and unfortunately, since Ling Tiancheng ascended the throne, the scientific examination has not yet arrived.
Therefore, the talents below were not sent to the top at all, and the court was in a hurry to die, but it couldn't find a suitable person.
When this evidence is submitted, the official must be dismissed, but after the recall, there must be corresponding personnel to fill the vacancy.
Filling the vacancy is even more important than recall, and if it is not done well, it will change the soup but not the medicine, and continue to harm the people.
But if you want to make up for a good official, you have to go through layers of selection, and this person has no place to come out.
There are really a lot of drawbacks, could it be that Wen Qing didn't be the emperor at that time, Zhuang Siyan thought, this emperor has nothing to do.
It's thankless, and there are always people who want him to die, trying all kinds of ways to find trouble.
Hey, poor Ling Tiancheng, although my sister is very angry with you, but for the sake of the common people in this world, I will reach out to help you, I hope that when the time comes, you can know gratitude, return my freedom, and give me money.
My sister has nothing else wrong with her life, she is just blinded by silver.
While Zhuang Siyan put away the evidence of the crime and assisted Jia Mingyuan in distributing food, he was also observing whether there were any available talents among the local officials and squires or Xiucai scholars.
The fact that Liu Zhang was suppressed by Zhuang Siyan has long been spread here.
In this whole area, there are three large and small cities and towns that have been affected, one big city is called Macheng, and two small cities are equivalent to the current cities and towns.
The officials of the small city will instinctively go to the big city, although the officials of the same small city are cunning, if Zhuang Siyan is hard, they are still afraid.
But the one in Ayutthaya is different, there are many officials in it, they hold various positions, they also go through various channels, and there are even many officials who are still connected to Kyoto City.
Although he took Liu Zhang's secret letter, he didn't care about Zhuang Siyan and others, and blindly pushed back when doing things.
Macheng's Taishou Ma Weimin was even more insidious, and on the day Zhuang Siyan arrived, he called himself sick and refused to meet him.
Jia Mingyuan went to the Taishou Mansion several times, but he didn't even see a figure, and he couldn't find half of the people in charge.
The people in the streets were scurrying around, and when they saw that food was coming, the hungry people were eager to lift their carts and grab the food.
Jia Mingyuan couldn't, so he could only use his own people to boil porridge first and give it to the people.
But the tools they brought were limited, and the personnel were also limited, and the first batch had not yet received food, and the next batch came back hungry.
Zhuang Siyan had a headache and asked Jia Mingyuan why he didn't send the rice directly and let them cook it themselves.
Jia Mingyuan pointed to the homeless people in the streets and alleys and said: "Look at them, most of the houses have been washed away, and there are no stoves.
Give them this rice, they will just swallow it raw, and where can they cook it?
And there are strong and weak among these people, if they really want to go down, it is difficult to ensure that the strong will not rob the weak, and more people will die at that time. ”
Zhuang Siyan gave him a thumbs up.
It seems that this kid is really smart, although he can't do a lot of things, but he can be taught a little bit, and he can be taught!
After barely a day, Zhuang Siyan's own affairs were almost done, and in the evening, he discussed with Jia Mingyuan how to rectify Macheng.
Jia Mingyuan shook his head and said: "These are all officials personally ordered by the imperial court, even if they don't do well, we can only play the emperor, and we can't touch them." ”
Zhuang Siyan disagreed: "It's okay to beat up and not kill anyone, right?" ”
What she said was the truth, but there was obvious suspicion of amusing Jia Mingyuan in her tone.
When the weak and humble Jia Gongzi heard this, he looked at him anxiously: "Brother Si can't, it's also a big crime to beat the court officials." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "I don't beat them, you do, when you came, didn't the emperor give you any tokens of Qincha?"
I heard that that thing can kill corrupt officials at the top, and kill the people at the bottom.
Now it can come in handy, Ming'er, let's go to Taishou Mansion again, if they still have this attitude, I will catch two of them, and you will beat them up to relieve their anger. ”
Before he finished speaking, Jia Mingyuan's face turned white.
He looked at Zhuang Siyan in surprise, as if he didn't understand how such a weak son could say such violent words, with an unbelievable expression.
swallowed a few saliva vigorously before replying: "That's just a holy decree from the Qincha, mainly to send food, but it didn't say that I should teach the officials a lesson, and Brother Si should not be reckless." ”
"The holy decree didn't say that the local officials should cooperate?"
"Yes."
"Isn't that the end of it, let them cooperate, they don't cooperate, so you just beat them up until they cooperate, isn't it normal?"
Jia Mingyuan: "......"
He always felt that this logic was wrong, but where it was, he really couldn't bring it out and tell Zhuang Siyan.
Early the next morning, Zhuang Siyan asked someone to carry a box and went to Taishou Mansion with Jia Mingyuan.
On the way, Jia Mingyuan asked her, "Brother Si, what is in this box?" ”
Zhuang Siyan winked at him, and didn't say explicitly: "You'll know when you arrive." ”
Of course, when they arrived at the Taishou Mansion, they encountered the same thing as before, Ma Weimin claimed that he was sick and couldn't see guests, so he asked Lord Qincha to ask for his own convenience.
Zhuang Siyan asked people to carry the box over, open it in front of the guards, and then there was a layer of ingots neatly laid inside, all of them ten or two legs, white flowers.
When Jia Mingyuan saw the silver, his eyes were straight, and he remembered to ask Zhuang Siyan for a long time: "Brother Si, where did you get the official silver?" ”
Zhuang Siyan ignored him, and only said with two guards: "Go and invite you Master Ma, and say that this official has something good for him." ”
The two guards bent down and whispered: "Wait a minute, the little one will go and report." ”
Ma Weimin heard that Lord Qincha was coming with a box of ingots, and he smiled with chrysanthemums on his face, and the two mustaches left on his lips curled and curled, and said to the people on the left and right: "Measure what Qincha is him, when you arrive in Macheng, you still have to listen to me obediently." ”
Left and right: "It's still an adult, it's a good way, we don't beat him or scold him, but we don't see him, Macheng is not as good as Kyoto City, they can do whatever they want, hehehe!" ”
The group was triumphant, talking and laughing, slowly changed into court clothes, and went to the main hall to see Zhuang Siyan and them.
Zhuang Siyan and Jia Mingyuan were invited into the Taishou Mansion, and after drinking two cups of tea in the hall, they saw Ma Weimin come out with his entourage.
He deliberately pretended to be weak and coughed a few times in front of them, and then stepped forward and said, "Xiaguan knocks to see Lord Qincha." ”
Jia Mingyuan also hated this kind of person, but after all, he was a humble son, and when others said good things, he was embarrassed to speak ill of him.
replied roughly two sentences, let Ma people get up.
Ma Weimin glanced at the box on the side and said, "Lord Qincha, there is a disaster in Macheng, and the lower officials should have taken the brunt of it, but it's all because this body is not angry......"
He also forced out two tears to prove that what he said was true.
In fact, during the two days that Ma Weimin didn't see them, Jia Mingyuan was busy giving money, and Zhuang Siyan spent it in the Taishou Mansion.
I have seen a lot of mah for the people night and night, the days of big fish and big meat.
At this time, she didn't expose it, and let him say and act.
When Ma Weimin said that he was tired and fixed his eyes on the box again, Zhuang Siyan said lightly: "I see that Ma Weimin is full of anger, and he has been complaining for half an hour, and he doesn't even breathe, why do you have to say that he is sick?" ”
Ma Weimin's face instantly became gloomy: "How can Master Si say this?" ”
"You can say whatever you want."
Zhuang Siyan glanced at him, slowly got up from the chair, and deliberately kicked on it when he passed the box, and the sound attracted everyone's attention.
However, her words were not good: "Lord Ma, the emperor's holy decree is to let you cooperate with Lord Qincha for disaster relief, but you are better not to meet you because you are sick."
Now that we have brought the money, and we are half cured, I wonder what you say. ”
Ma Weimin is a city guard, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the emperor of the soil, and now he has been taught a lesson by a stinky kid, where can he swallow this breath?
Not to mention that he is a petty official of unknown origin, he is in charge of Lord Qincha, if he kills him, he turns around and fakes a scene, and tells the emperor that he was killed by the victims, and no one can take him?
The sick Jiao on his face had all been replaced by ruthlessness, and he slanted at Zhuang Siyan with a cold face and said, "Boy, this is Macheng, you must speak in a measured manner." ”
Zhuang Siyan: "What if you don't have proportion? ”
Ma Weimin glanced at his men, and the man ran out of the way.
In just half an hour, the entire courtyard of the Taishou Mansion was full of soldiers, and they actually surrounded Zhuang Siyan and them.
Jia Mingyuan panicked all of a sudden, he just thought he was here to talk about things, he didn't think about it that much at all, except for the two people who carried the box, only Zhuang Siyan and him were left.
He doesn't know how to do martial arts at all, and even if he does, he is outnumbered now, and he is not Ma Weimin's opponent.
And this brother is not to mention, although he is very attentive and smart, but his body looks weaker than him, how can he withstand this kind of battle?
