The Township Trial Tribute Courtyard is built in the southeast direction of the city, and the Jingshi Shuntian Mansion is naturally no exception, the Tribute Courtyard is in the southeast corner of the Chongwen Gate, and the Yanle Hutong is quite close.

Dong Taiqi took the floating ticket at home, and hurried to the tribute courtyard, his stomach churned endlessly along the way, and he kept pantothenic acid water on the top, and his mouth was bitter, and he wanted to lie on the ground when the wind blew.

There is already a white line on the horizon, and according to the requirements, the township test starts at dawn, and if you are careful at this time, it is already the hour.

Dong Taiqi walked very hard, and from time to time he had to stop and vomit for a while, and in the direction around him, the candidates in the same costume would unconsciously glance at him from the same road to surpassing him.

"I know that today's Dabi, I drank so much yesterday, and I don't know which academy it is a disciple, and the teacher doesn't care."

"I don't know, it's definitely not a government school, and we haven't seen it in the county school, so it's probably a wild leg who can't afford to go to school."

It is not surprising that passers-by have this ridicule, and many people will even wait at the door a day in advance for the imperial examination, and make a blanket roll overnight, just for fear of delaying the hour.

Like Dong Taiqi, he can still drink too much when he drinks the day before, except for those who don't have the heart to take the exam at all, they are basically powerful in the family, come over and mix around, and wait for the arrangement.

However, looking at Dong Taiqi's cloth clothes, it must be the first one, whether it is a waste of his own time or a waste of family offerings, it is the most despised.

Dong Taiqi didn't react, he still walked while spitting and walking until his ears were clean.

"Your Majesty, Hu Shangshu has to wait for the emperor to summon him personally."

In the Qianqing Palace of the Forbidden City, Jin Ying looked at Zhu Qizhen on the bed helplessly.

Since the emperor went out on tour, he has become more and more fond of sleeping, which is also the fundamental reason for taking the opportunity to cancel the early dynasty this time, Zhu Qizhen has become lazy.

Jin Ying was helpless about this, so she could only sigh faintly in her heart.

Zhu Qizhen, who was wrapped in a quilt, wailed: "Hey, hey, hey, it's annoying!" Yes! Wouldn't it be okay for him to go to Wenyuan Pavilion and wait for me? ”

"The slave maid also said it, but Hu Shangshu said that the matter is serious, and it is really not appropriate for too many people to know, and the emperor still has to decide it himself."

Romance

"Ahh Zhu Qizhen screamed again, and then he got out of the bed, his long hair had been made out of shape, and he lived like himself in later generations.

"Someone, change the emperor's clothes!" Jin Ying shouted, and the palace people outside the door came in one by one, waiting for Zhu Qizhen, who had no love.

After another half an hour, Zhu Qizhen appeared in the main hall as if he had just woken up, and Hu Hu and Li Kan hurriedly knelt on the ground to say goodbye.

"Alright, don't you have something important to look for? Hurry up and have something to say. Zhu Qizhen glanced at the sky outside, and when he first arrived, he was lazy, but he didn't seem to steal.

Hu Hu took advantage of getting up and secretly glanced at Zhu Qizhen before he spoke: "Disturbing the emperor's business, the ministers deserve death, it is really a matter of the foundation of the country, and the ministers must not be dragged out." ”

Hey, just wake me up early in the morning, and open your mouth to yin and yang me?

"Hu Shangshu is right, the court and the Ming Dynasty are fundamental, there is a disease to cure the disease, there is no disease to prevent the disease, no matter how much is harmless, I am dragging my feet."

Hu Huo was stunned and said, "Your Majesty? ”

"Let's get down to business, what is it that deserves Lao Shangshu to be so anxious?" Zhu Qizhen did not respond, but returned to the question itself.

Hu Hu naturally didn't want to ask again, after all, Zhu Qizhen actually didn't say anything.

"The minister wants to expose Wu Jinbo, Zhu Ying and Datong both commanding Shi Biao, and the two embezzled the official silver of the court to do business!" Hu Hui said hatefully.

"Is there any evidence?" Zhu Qizhen frowned and asked, this Zhu Ying has just been beaten, and there is no disobedience from Ansheng for a moment?

"Back to the emperor, the evidence of embezzlement of official silver is conclusive, and the grain and rice bank belonging to the Hubu Commercial Bank has direct transactions with them.

What's even more outrageous is that they actually took the treasury money directly to spend it, which is simply arrogant! Lieberthal said coldly.

The color and shape of the library silver are consistent, and there are special marks, which are obviously different from the city silver, and now the amount of silver on the market itself is small, and it is easy to find out the source.

Before Zhu Qizhen could lose his temper with the emperor, Hu Hu made up for it again, pushing his emotions up.

"And the emperor."

"What else?" Zhu Qizhen frowned.

"These two people are not buying grain for the sake of tuning grain, but for reselling it, and Zhang Kui, the superintendent of Yunnan Province, is already collecting evidence of the crime, and he will be able to return to Beijing in a few days." Hu Hui threw the bomb out.

When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he didn't have any angry expression, so the two of them asked Hu Hu unexpectedly: "How is the nine-sided mutual market doing?" ”

Hu Hui pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the mutual market is already open. However, due to the high price of grain in the border area, it will lead to a shortage of domestic grain, and the minister is worried that it will affect the stability of the DPRK situation. ”

If you say that, I won't be sleepy, the original food and salary in the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty were difficult to transport because of the long distance and the desolate and remote location.

In order to encourage the transfer of grain and grass in the hinterland, the amount of grain transported was first used as the standard for the distribution of salt, and later it was discounted by 70% of the tax in exchange for the supply of grain and grass in the border plug.

Now the opening of the mutual market, driven by market prices, and allowing merchants to actively transship, is not it precisely for the imperial court to save expenses?

The so-called increase in food prices will eventually lead to limited demand, and even if it affects domestic prices for a short period of time, it will always return to normal over time.

No matter how much you say, don't you just think that the imperial court is raising tigers like this? But I'm a dignified man, what's wrong with having a few pets? If you really form a dependence, if you dare to disobey in the future, I will cut off your food, see if you are afraid!

"How much does the imperial court spend every year to support the transportation of the Nine Sides?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"But ......" Hu Hu still wanted to struggle.

"You go back and settle the score, and then tell me if it's appropriate or not. Lieberthal, when did you say that they embezzled official silver? When was the last time? Zhu Qizhen asked again, but he directly separated Hu Hu.

"Emperor Qi, according to the minister's verification, there is evidence at present after the establishment of the Hubu Commercial Bank, and it has been until now." Lieberthal said.

"So the last two months?"

"But it's so bold, there must have been before, but now there is no thorough investigation, and it is impossible to verify the specific start time, once the emperor authorizes it, I believe that with the ability of the Imperial Procuratorate, there should be greater gains." Lieberthal explained.

"How much?" Zhu Qizhen asked again.

"About 100,000 taels!"

Seeing Zhu Qizhen silent, Li Kan couldn't help but panic, and began to think crankily under nervousness, which really made him think of a "little thing".

"Your Majesty, Shi Biao also connived at his family members to occupy people's property, recruited more than 50 homeless people, and crossed the border without authorization to set up manors to reclaim people's land!"

Once again, to the surprise of the two, Zhu Qizhen, who did not react very much to the embezzlement of official money, heard that Shi Biao had annexed private property and directly took the case.

"Smack! Call me Guo Mao! ”
