"Written it all down?"

Guan Huaigong followed King Qin out of the back kitchen of Jiangnan Building, and heard Zhu Zhang, who was walking in front, suddenly ask.

The young official had some doubts in his eyes, and he didn't know which one this master was asking.

Zhu Fan glared at Guan Huaigong lightly: "The menu of this Jiangnan Building is really dazzling, this king has been rare all these years, have you remembered it just now?" ”

Guan Huaigong was stunned for a moment: "Back to the prince, except for what kind of tea, I remember everything." ”

Zhu Fan nodded: "I remember that it was a few taels of silver for a dish, right?" ”

At this time, Guan Huaigong was stunned again.

He thought that this was the King of Qin asking him to remember the name of the dish, and he did the same when he turned around.

Who knows, Prince Qin actually asked him about the price of food.

Guan Huaigong nodded: "This Jiangnan Building is very interesting, and the price of the dishes is very easy to remember." ”

Can it be hard to remember.

It's either six or six major shuns, and the left and right are so fixed.

Thinking of this, Guan Huaigong felt a little embarrassed in his heart, these officials in Yangzhou City are really doing well. It is no wonder that the officials in Yangzhou City, sitting on the two Huai salt fields, are placed in the entire Ming Dynasty, which is also a first-class rich place.

I have to talk about this matter to the governor, maybe a large number of corrupt officials can be dug out of it.

This meal costs hundreds of taels of silver, how can you not be greedy for ink on weekdays.

I don't know where the officials of Yangzhou City got the confidence to dare to put on such a banquet today.

Zhu Fan snorted and didn't speak again.

The two soon entered the top floor of the main building of Jiangnan Building.

The Jiangnan building is very high, and the specifications are also very wide, and there are five tables on the top floor.

Counting it, it can also accommodate the top officials in Yangzhou City.

At this time, the officials of Yangzhou had not yet arrived, so Zhu Fan stood by the window and looked at the canal in the distance.

Although shipping has developed rapidly and the scale has become larger and larger in recent years, the canal, which has been in operation for hundreds of years, still has an irreplaceable role and value.

On the river, there is an endless stream of official ships and merchant ships coming and going from the south to the north, and the huge sails seem to have covered the river surface tightly.

On the official roads on both sides of the canal, people also come and go, and countless carriages and merchants and pedestrians have come and gone for the transportation of resources and economic exchanges of the Ming Dynasty.

A day worker, the salary is about 50 yuan a day.

This is the more common wage price in the territory of Nanzhili.

The private workshops and private merchants had to pay such wages, otherwise the people would have to go to the government-run workshops or try their best to work on the government's projects.

This is an achievement that the imperial court did not expect after trying to make the people earn some money.

It is possible to influence private employment through the means of the government.

However, this also made the court and the cabinet understand one thing.

That is, to a large extent, the government does not have to do the same in the past, and can only increase the income of the people through official documents and government money.

A new model began to quietly rise to the long-term agenda of the cabinet, and the imperial court began to try to influence and guide private employment through the administrative power of the government in the current Hongwu New Deal, to regulate and increase the labor income of the people.

Zhu Yunxi didn't know about this.

If he knew, he would definitely be surprised, and sighed that the Ming Dynasty has now begun to try the government to regulate the private economic model without a teacher.

And Zhu Zhang, who was standing in the Jiangnan Building at the moment, didn't have so many ideas.

He simply felt that the lively and busy scene he saw in front of him was so pleasant.

Isn't this more rewarding than fighting horses and birds?

But there are people who don't want to have such a happy scene.

So here he comes.

He wants to preside over a fair in Yangzhou City.

The officials of the various departments and yamen in Yangzhou City did not let His Royal Highness the King of Qin and the officials from the Yamen, the governor of Beijing, wait long.

Recently, the wind direction in Nanzhili is very bad, and everyone is in danger.

It is impossible for the king of Qin to be just for the assessment of a clerk, such a trivial matter only needs to have a visit from the governor yamen.

To let King Qin, the god of killing, come over, must have some plan.

This is also why Yangzhou City will make a big move this time, and entertain Zhu Fan and others in Jiangnan Tower with a high standard.

When a group of red-robed officials in Yangzhou City walked into Jiangnan Tower and climbed to the top floor, Zhu Fan swept his gaze lightly over everyone who came.

The green-headed flies in Yangzhou City are not qualified to climb to the top floor, and they are all on the lower floors, waiting for the prince of Qin and the governor Yamen.

A group of people such as the Lianghuai Salt Transfer Envoy, the Caoyun Governor, the Yangzhou Prefect, and so on, stood in front of Zhu Fan with a respectful expression.

Among them, the prefect of Yangzhou is naturally the host, and the salt transfer envoy of the two Huaidu is the highest official position.

It's just that when the two of them bowed down with the people behind them, ready to salute.

Zhu Fan coughed lightly and raised his hand to stop these people's movements.

Everyone was puzzled, this was stopped without even starting the opening statement and introduction, and it seemed that something was wrong.

Zhu Fan had already spoken: "This king received an errand from the prince and went to Yangzhou." Therefore, the errand is the most important, and this king is naturally not in the mood to listen to you say some polite words. ”

This is already a bit serious.

The opening brought the atmosphere to a freezing point.

It's just that Zhu Fan is the King of Qin of the Ming Dynasty, and he is the god of killing in the clan.

No one dared to say anything, and seeing that Zhu Fan didn't speak, they could only stand in place.

Guan Huai glanced at Zhu Fan with some doubts, and he didn't know which one of the masters was making trouble now.

At this time, there was a noise outside the Jiangnan Building.

Someone is shouting, mainly shouting injustice.

In between, there were some people who were coldly warning the people who shouted injustice.

The sound was very noisy, and it seemed that there were a lot of people downstairs.

At this time, Zhu Fan looked at the Yangzhou officials present with a mysterious face: "Let's go and see, each of them will receive a collar, which yamen is it." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked again.

As soon as this Qin prince entered Yangzhou City, he took people first.

There was already some early warning in everyone's hearts, and after a period of silence and hesitation, the Lianghuai transfer envoy and the Yangzhou prefect and others still followed Zhu Fan's words to the window sill on the side, and looked down.

It's okay not to look at it, but this time everyone was shocked again.

I saw that the entire Jiangnan downstairs was already overcrowded.

The officers and soldiers of Yulinwei and Jinyiwei, who followed Zhu Fan into Yangzhou, had already escorted a large group of officials from various departments and yamen downstairs with the cooperation of the tax soldiers of the Yangzhou Prefecture Tax Department.

The two Huai transfer envoys and the Yangzhou prefect glanced at each other silently, and the two of them were shocked, but also identified who the officials of the various departments downstairs were.

They are all the officials who presided over the examination of the officials of the previous governor's yamen, and the officials who were absent from the examination for various reasons on the boundary of Yangzhou Prefecture.

"Lord Wang, this ......"

Lianghuai's face was a little ugly, and he bowed back and glanced at Zhu Zhang.

When he heard that Zhu Fan had entered the city today and wanted to invite them to the table for the host, he had some speculation that today's meal would not be very delicious.

Even, this is a Hongmen feast.

But he didn't expect that when they rushed over, not only did they not even have the opportunity to report their names to their homes, but now they took so many officials from the Yangzhou government and yamen in front of them.

When did this hand move?

Thinking of the tax soldiers downstairs, the two Huai transfers made me feel a little worried.

Since the establishment of tax offices in the imperial court, the establishment of tax offices in the local areas, and the formation of tax soldiers, the local government has become very embarrassed many times.

First of all, the local finances were stripped away at once, and all of them went into the hands of the local tax department. On weekdays, the government has to do something, ask for some silver, not only to ask for approval from the household department or the political envoy as in the past, but also to go to the tax department to ask for silver like grandpa.

And that's not all.

The most important thing is that the tax collectors can't buy it at all!

The men didn't seem to see the silver in their eyes.

And the most infuriating thing is that the gang not only withheld the person who sent the silver and handed it over directly to the Jinyi Guard, but even the silver was recorded in the account of the tax department and handed over to the household department.

If that's all it takes, it's good.

The most uncomfortable thing in the local area now is that as long as they have a little crooked mind, these tax officials really dare to come directly to the door to raid the house.

These people are very righteous under the pretext of justice.

They don't know if there is anyone else behind the person who sent the money, but since the person who sent the money can send so much silver, there must be something wrong with this person himself.

The tax department of the tax department is responsible for the taxation of the world, and naturally has the power to check the assets of local lawbreakers.

Raiding a house is a means of checking assets.

The two Huai transfers made my heart suddenly heavy.

Obviously, when Prince Qin entered Yangzhou this time, he must have notified the people of the Yangzhou Tax Department in advance, and asked these people to target the officials in the yamen in advance, and they would take him down and escort him here when he entered the city today.

Zhu Fan just smiled: "This king heard that there are many absentees in the assessment of the officials of the 18th Mansion of Zhili. This king came to Yangzhou this time, also for this matter. The king didn't know in advance, but he didn't know until he received the errand that Yangzhou Mansion was really good, and there were 562 officials in each department, and 479 people were absent from the exam. The reason for the absence of the examination was also seen by the king from the governor's yamen, and it seems that many people are unwell or busy with official business. ”

When Zhu Fan laid out the data, the Yangzhou officials present were already dark.

If one or two people are unwell or entangled in official duties to cope with the assessment of officials, it is reasonable.

When nearly 500 of the nearly 600 officials in Yangzhou Prefecture were absent from the examination for these reasons, it was really unreasonable.

It could even be said that this is intentional.

Although it is said that this time the 17 prefectures of Zhili have used similar reasons, but Yangzhou Mansion is the most exaggerated, with the largest number of absentees and the largest proportion.

Officials in Yangzhou were speechless.

But Zhu Fan has a lot to say.

He snorted and said lightly: "Before this king came this time, he told the junior official that this king is here to preside over fairness. This time, there were so many absences in the assessment of Yangzhou officials, either due to physical reasons or because of the urgency of official business. This king has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has been thinking about this matter without sleeping at night, and he has thought about it for a long time before he thinks of a reason, I don't know if you think this is the case. ”

Zhu Fan spoke, his eyes swept over the people present.

No one dared to speak.

Who knows what His Royal Highness the King of Qin will say in the next moment.

Zhu Fan tilted his head and glanced at Guan Huaigong with a smile.

Guan Huaigong was a little puzzled, and he didn't know what this lord's eyes meant.

And Zhu Fan had already spoken: "This king thinks that it must be you who are the chief officials who treat the yamen officials too harshly. This is to use them as donkeys, otherwise why can so many people miss the exam? ”

What the is the reason for that?

Guan Huaigong couldn't help but curse in his heart, he knew that this master couldn't say anything serious.

It's better to say to the governor at that time, according to what the governor's yamen did in other prefectures and counties, he directly took these absent examinees one by one and convicted them.

The two Huai transfer envoys, Yangzhou prefects and others who were present were also confused.

Qin Wangye, what kind of logic is this.

Why, it's on them.

When the officials in the yamen are made, because they have become donkeys, they have become tired donkeys.

"Junior official, do you think it's fair enough for this king to judge the case like this? Can you call it a blue sky? ”

Zhu Fan looked at Guan Huaigong, who was full of slander, and his face showed a proud look that he was the master of the blue sky.

Guan Huaigong had to slander again in his heart, but a smile appeared on his face, and he said respectfully: "What the prince said is extremely true. ”

Zhu Fan snorted: "Since this is the case, things will be easy to handle." ”

Smack.

Zhu Fan clapped his palms in front of everyone.

Then countless brocade-clothed guards rushed up from downstairs, all of them fierce and vicious, staring at the Yangzhou officials present with gloomy eyes.

And a few floors downstairs, there was also a chaotic movement.

"You are bold! Why do you want to take this office? ”

"Whoever gave you the guts, what did the official do, if you want to take the official, you have to issue an order from the court and release the official!"

“……”

There was a burst of shouting from downstairs.

And then.

It was a muffled sound that came upstairs, followed by miserable moans and begs for mercy.

On the top floor of Jiangnan Building, everyone's faces were tense and flustered.

I can imagine what the scene is downstairs with my feet.

Zhu Fan also stood up and laughed: "The assessment of the officials of Yangzhou Mansion is seriously absent, and this king has received the order, and it has been found out that it is caused by the mistreatment of the officials of the various departments and yamen of Yangzhou Mansion, making them sick from overwork and oppression of errands. The assessment of the officials of the 18th government of Nanzhili is a major matter of the country, and the governor Yamen asked the cabinet to know the permission. As an official of the court, you should have shared the worries of the court, but you did the opposite, resulting in the failure of the court's major affairs. The king was entrusted by the imperial court to hold the power of life, death and seizure. Now adjudicated, the officials of the Yangzhou Prefect Yamen, the Lianghuai Salt Transfer Envoy Department, the Caoyun Governor Yamen and other officials delay state affairs and obstruct the society, and the crime is unforgivable, and they are all punished, that is, beheaded! ”

With Zhu Zhang's order.

The Jinyi Weiti riders, who had been waiting for a long time, drew their swords one after another, and took down the Yangzhou officials who had not yet reacted one by one.

Unable to allow these people to cry out for mercy, they were already escorted to the downstairs of Jiangnan by the five big and three thick brocade guards.

Not much.

Screams rang out, and the smell of blood poured from the bottom of the building to the top floor.

Guan Huaigong was so numb by this scene that his scalp was numb.

Before he even ate the meal, the master in front of him beheaded all the officials in the entire Yangzhou City!

"Those who are absent from the examiners......"

Guan Huaigong whispered with some fear.

At this time, Zhu Fan stood by the window with his hands in his sleeves, looking at the bloody scene downstairs.

Outside the Jiangnan Building, there were already people rolling and blood flowing, and the officials who were escorted here had already been scared to urine.

"A bunch of useless stuff."

"Let's cut them all."
