Chapter 381: Cutting the grass must be eradicated
Chen Jinye looked down for a while, and he probably knew it in his heart.
At this time, he knew better than anyone else that the matter of the railway was already very serious.
As for what the final result would be, he didn't dare to imagine.
Although he is not a minister in the court, and he does not have the deep thoughts of people in the temple, he is also a Jinshi and has been a parent official for several years.
And now, the only thing he can do is to save himself when this big storm comes.
He took the book and went to meet Zhu Di immediately.
Zhu Di was standing in front of the windowsill with his hands behind his back at this time, looking out of the study, Zhang Anshi and Qiu Song were kicking and bowing outside.
The Keju was filled with grass and sewn up layer by layer with cowhide, and Zhu had great courage and ran wildly with Keju with a roar.
Zhang Anshi shouted: "Second brother, the two of us are really amazing. ”
Zhu Di couldn't help but smile, and when he turned around, Chen Jinye had already called out that his majesty had already been seen, and then he fell to the ground and waited patiently.
The smile on Zhu Di's face suddenly retracted, and then he said leisurely: "What's the matter?" ”
Unlike the anger of the previous days, Zhu Di seemed unusually calm at this time.
This kind of gesture is like a lightweight attitude, but it makes Chen Jinye feel the depression like a dark cloud more than when he is furious, as if invisibly, he can't breathe and suffocates him.
He tried to stabilize his mind and said with difficulty: "The county ...... There are some people who are enthusiastic about buying bonds......"
Zhu Di only said in a surging voice: "Take it." ”
The book was sent to Zhu Di's hand, and Zhu Di first said: "What kind of account is this?" ”
Chen Jinye was speechless for a while.
Accustomed to the bookkeeping method of the Taiping Mansion, and looking at other accounts, Zhu Di has a feeling of sitting on pins and needles.
However, he still watched patiently, deaf to the calls of the young people outside the study in the house.
Long.
Zhu Di rolled up the account books, and then gently knocked on the windowsill, and said, "The main thing that was purchased was these forty-three families?" ”
"Yes." Chen Jinye said truthfully: "It's all a large purchase, and the rest is ...... It's all bits and pieces. ”
"Do you know why?" Zhu Di said unusually calmly.
"In the middle of the county...... It can be roughly divided into poor, medium and rich. ”
Zhu Di didn't say anything, just listened carefully.
"Poor households have no money, and it is difficult to maintain their livelihood for a year, so naturally they cannot count on it. As for the middle household, the middle household has some surplus wealth and a little land at home, but such a person ...... They are often shrewd, and all their money is accumulated after careful calculation. They have no connections in the government, some only run some small shops, and some only have tens or hundreds of acres of land. Although the government's public bonds are tempting, they have always been cautious and cautious, feeling that this matter is strange and they will never dare to buy it, and they cannot afford to take this risk. ”
Zhu Di nodded.
Chen Jinye said: "As for the rich family...... It is different, they have a lot of surplus money at home, and the family has a lot of silver, before the construction of railways, land expropriation, they are the biggest profits, most of the government is from their hands to buy land. Although they are as shrewd as Nakato, they are better than Nakato in that they have connections, whether it is the government or even the court, they have relatives and friends, so they ...... Although they knew that this public debt was risky, they were not worried. ”
Zhu Di smiled and said, "Why don't you worry?" ”
Chen Jinye said: "This public debt, other people's debts, the government can not pay them, how can they not repay their debts?" ”
Zhu Di said: "They have such self-confidence. ”
Chen Jinye was silent for a moment, and then said: "In fact, there are precedents for these things in previous years. ”
"Precedent, what precedent?"
Chen Jinye said: "No matter what the government organizes, it is often these gentry and rich families who respond first, and when everyone raises the silver together, the gentry and the rich family's silver ...... It can often be earned back exponentially, as for ordinary people......"
Without waiting for Chen Jinye to continue, Zhu Di continued: "Ordinary people have nothing to lose. Isn't it? ”
Chen Jinye said: "Yes, yes......"
Zhu Di said: "It seems that you can see very clearly. ”
Chen Jinye didn't dare to think that Zhu Di was praising him, and hurriedly said: "Minister...... The sin of ten thousand deaths. ”
Zhu Di didn't get angry, but said calmly: "Since you know everything, ...... What you do on the railroad is a knowingly committed, and the crime is added to the first degree! ”
Chen Jinye trembled, his teeth rattled, but he continued to crawl on the ground, trembling and said: "But all dynasties and dynasties are like this......"
"Humph!" Zhu Di snorted coldly.
Chen Jinye continued: "The books that the minister reads, the people around the minister since he was a child, even if the minister is an official in the court, the minister's responsibilities are all like this. Let's talk about the railway, the imperial court wants to build the railway, and the minister, as a minister, is not a bandit, how can he take it by force? ”
"Your Majesty takes a scholar and opens the imperial examination, isn't the article in this examination all about such benevolent, righteous and moral things? In the book of the saints, isn't it also a professor of ministers and other humble gentlemen? Isn't it true that a gentleman does not take the favor of others? ”
"The imperial court opened the imperial examination, and the ministers were ordered to read the sage book, and the articles they accepted were also articles that spoke on behalf of the sage, in this sage book, how could there be a professor of the minister's means to deal with the elders and gentry in the county with the behavior of cool officials in the face of such a situation?"
After a pause, Chen Jinye continued: "The sage said: "The sage said: guide the government, punish the people, and the people are shameless. The way is virtuous, all are courteous, shameful and qualified. Does Your Majesty want to disobey the teachings of the saints? ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di was directly silenced.
Until now, Chen Jinye still dared to say these words in front of Shengyan, and he couldn't be fearless.
It's just that these words undoubtedly made Zhu Di unable to refute.
The so-called use of government decrees to guide the people, and the use of criminal law to rectify the people, although the people can avoid crime, but there is no shame. By teaching the people morality and unifying their words and deeds with etiquette, the people will know how to be ashamed and can also make people's hearts convert.
This is the words of the sage of the Eight Classics, the recruitment standard of the Ming Dynasty, and the ethics of ministers advocated by all dynasties and even the Ming Dynasty.
On the other hand, in the ideology of Confucianism, people like Zhang Anshi are very pure cool officials, even if they are placed in the era when the Confucian atmosphere is more open, they must be included in the biography of cool officials, and they are as famous as cool officials like Zhang Tang, who have corrupted the atmosphere of the world and will not end well.
Zhu Di frowned slightly, he was displeased, but he looked up at Zhang Anshi, who shouted loudly outside the window to pass the bow to him, and Zhu Di's eyes were deep with a trace of heaviness.
Zhu Di said uncertainly: "In this way, you are a model of the minister?" ”
Chen Jinye originally thought that his bold performance would bring Zhu Di's anger. At this time, seeing that Zhu Di didn't seem to be angry, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don't know." Chen Jinye said: "In the past, the ministers thought it was true, but it was just ...... After this time, the minister really didn't know what the minister was. ”
Zhu Di said: "It seems that you still have self-knowledge. ”
"Kechen ......" Chen Jinye's face was miserable: "The minister ......"
He didn't know how to say what to say, subconsciously, Chen Jinye trembled and became depressed, which is a psychological state caused by the collapse of his consciousness and ethics for a long time.
After reading so many books, learning so many years of knowledge, and half a lifetime, I have practiced the concept of a gentleman or a benevolent minister.
But this thing collapsed, and he saw these things fall in front of him, so fragile that they were torn apart like porcelain, and this feeling made him feel bad at all, as if he was torn apart.
Zhu Di sat down and said slowly: "You say loyalty on weekdays, then I will let you follow Zhang Qing's example and be this loyal minister." ”
Zhu Di put the book in his hand, raised it and said: "Whoever took my money and who benefited from this railway is now clear at a glance." So, do you know how to do it? ”
"Minister...... Chen Jinye ...... hesitated.
Zhu Di's face turned cold again, and he said, "Don't you dare?" ”
Chen Jinye said: "Is there no other room for turnaround?" ”
"You still want to be a humble gentleman?" Zhu Di sneered.
Chen Jinye opened his mouth, but as if he had made some kind of determination, he closed his mouth, took a deep breath, and then said, "I am willing to drive for Your Majesty." ”
Zhu Di stood up, and then said: "Come on, summon that guy Zhang Anshi, make a plan for action, and let this Chen Jinye assist." I want you to wipe out all these damned thieves, and leave no one behind! ”
Zhu Di's voice was still calm, but his words were obviously filled with endless frost.
Chen Jinye was only prostrate on the ground, and at this moment, he only felt that his former self seemed to be slowly dying.
But the new self is at a loss, like a shell that has lost its soul, and he ghostly says, "Obey...... Compliance ......"
Not long after, I saw Zhang Anshi sweating profusely and walked in, got the will, and immediately shouted: "Three murderers, come!" ”
Zhu Yong and the three of them are all in good spirits.
Zhu Di sat aside and didn't say a word.
Specific plans, he was too lazy to arrange.
Zhang Anshi is energetic and young, and he is the safest to arrange.
Zhang Anshi first said to Chen Jinye: "You naturally know the situation in Jiujiang Mansion, but what about Nanchang Mansion?" ”
"I know a little bit about ......," Chen Jinye said.
Zhang Anshi said: "At this time in various places, the public bonds are issued, they are sold, and finally the silver is put into storage, how many days can it be completed?" ”
"In two or three days in a small county, it will probably be completed." Chen Jin thought for a moment and continued: "But...... Other counties can say for sure, but the lower officials think that all prefectures and counties are in a hurry to get the silver this time......"
Zhang Anshi asked, "Why?" ”
"The imperial court has issued an order to let Chengguo Duke Zhu Neng thoroughly investigate the affairs of the railway, and everyone is in a hurry to put the silver into the treasury and find a way...... There has been some progress. ”
Zhang Anshi said: "In this way, within five days, the silver can be put into the warehouse?" ”
"It depends, but it should be okay."
Zhang Anshi nodded: "It's better to wait for seven or eight more days." ”
"It's the safest thing to do."
"What is the situation of the guards stationed in Nanchang Mansion and Jiujiang Mansion?"
"This ...... Nanchang Mansion was originally stationed in Ning Wangwei, but after Ning Wangwei moved with His Royal Highness King Ning, he left a Nanchang Wei, who was mostly old, weak, sick and disabled, and the commander of Wei Zhong...... It seems that Zhang Wu, this person is from Jingnan, and the lower officials have never dealt with him, but he only knows that he has some disagreements with the commanders of Jiangxi. ”
"Suspicious? What is the relationship between this Jiangxi commander and the political envoy? ”
"It's said to be good."
Zhang Anshi continued to ask: "What about Jiujiang Mansion?" ”
Chen Jinye replied: "Jiujiang Mansion is a thoroughfare, there is a water camp, and a guard is also stationed as well as land and water inspections. ”
Zhang Anshi said: "What do you think of them? ”
Zhang Anshi asked carefully, and Chen Jinye answered them one by one.
The more Zhang Anshi asked, the more shocked Chen Jinye became.
In particular, Zhang Anshi did not seem to care much about the Jiangxi political envoys, but especially about the military commanders, which made Chen Jinye realize that the matter might be more serious than he imagined.
Zhang Anshi was writing lightly, just taking notes.
Zhang Anshi immediately said: "Chen Daowen ......"
Chen Daowen, who was dressed in a fish suit, stood up and said, "What do you command?" ”
Zhang Anshi said: "There are thousands of households in the capital, and they are all on standby in the capital, in case there is a change in the capital, but ...... The guards stationed in other places immediately passed on the book to me, and immediately transferred the elite! ”
"Remember, you have to secretly gather Jiujiang, Nanchang and other places! This matter, you come to arrange, you have to hide your whereabouts, to keep it strictly confidential, all the people who are transferred, just say that they are ordered to answer Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, do not give any orders for the time being, and after arriving, just wait. ”
Chen Daowen said: "Huh." ”
Zhang Anshi immediately said to Zhu Yong: "You go back now, and then transfer another thousand model battalions, let them leave at night, I will notify Zhu Jin in advance, let him secretly transfer ships to respond, and after boarding the ship, go straight to Jiujiang Mansion." ”
Zhu Yong was greatly excited: "Okay." ”
Zhang Anshi then looked at Zhang Xuan and said, "Zhang Xuan, the people who come with you, you are in charge of the command, and you can obey orders at any time." ”
Qiu Song said: "What about me? ”
Zhang Anshi was silent for a moment: "Fourth brother, protect me, no, protect Your Majesty's safety." ”
Qiu Song sighed, looking disappointed.
Zhang Anshi immediately said to Zhu Di: "Your Majesty ......"
Zhu Di looked like he was napping beside him, but Zhang Anshi's arrangement, he probably already knew it in his heart, he nodded and said, "Just do it." ”
"The minister has another thing that I want to ask." Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: "If someone ...... during the action."
"Then kill!" Zhu Di's eyes flashed sharply, and he said neatly: "After killing, you must take precautions, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, immediately follow the vine and touch the melons, and take down all his family children, so as not to resurrect." ”
Zhang Anshi hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, "Obey." ”
Zhu Di said: "This Chen Jinye said...... Zhang Qing is a cool official like Zhang Tang and Lai Junchen, what does Zhang Qing think? ”
Zhang Anshi thought for a while and said, "The minister doesn't know. ”
"Huh?"
Zhang Anshi thought seriously for a while before he said: "In the hearts of some people, ministers may be cool officials. But in the eyes of the minister's closest relatives, the minister may be a reliable father; In the eyes of Chen's brother, Chen may be a righteous brother. When a husband is alive, how can he please anyone in the world? The minister only knows that one person can't please everyone, and the minister can only do what he thinks is right. ”
Zhu Di said: "I will teach you a truth today. ”
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di with a solemn face and said, "Please show your majesty." ”
"If you have offended someone, it is better to ...... that person Put him to death, teach him that he will never be reborn! Otherwise, they will curse you endlessly in their lifetimes, and they will be your stumbling blocks for the rest of their lives, and their children and grandchildren will slander you. Zhu Di said: "So, don't give them a chance." ”
Zhang Anshi glanced up at Zhu Di, and seemed to understand why Zhu Di said this to himself.
When His Majesty said that he would cut the grass and eradicate the roots, he hesitated slightly, and these words were obviously his teachings, and in a sense, Zhu Di said to himself.
Zhang Anshi said: "The minister respectfully obeys His Majesty's teachings. ”
"Let's go." Zhu Di said: "Officials below the second grade, you don't have to ask me to kill." ”
Zhang Anshi nodded and left.
Chen Jinye was still standing in place, he only felt cold all over, and there was a chill like a man's back.
Zhu Di glared at him, he woke up and hurriedly said goodbye.
As soon as he came out of this study, Zhang Anshi tugged on his sleeve outside: "You are the deputy, from now on, wait by my side, there are some things, I still ask for teaching." ”
Chen Jinye only felt chaos in his mind, and he said tremblingly: "Has it come to this point? ”
Zhang Anshi couldn't help but hook his lips and sneered, and then said: "From the time you guys set your eyes on His Majesty's internal agents and made public debts to fill your own pockets, the result was already doomed!" Don't misunderstand Your Majesty, Your Majesty is not a righteous gentleman, I am a cool official, I am Zhang Tang, but you must not forget that Your Majesty is a person like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. ”
Chen Jinye: "......"
…………
In the dark and turbulent river, ships are moving in the night.
The bottom of the boat crackled open the river, and it was unstoppable.
At this time, the drizzle continued.
On this cold night, a pier in Jiujiang Mansion was lit up.
Then, one ship after another began to anchor at the dock.
One by one, black shadows jumped down in the rain.
Everyone wore hats and robes.
Someone braved the rain and let the rain hit his head, he did not wear a hat, but his burly body was even more swollen because of his coat.
He stepped on the puddle of water, and his feet were full of mud, and when the black shadows landed on the shore, he immediately said in a deep voice: "There is a will." ”
"Listen to the order!"
The man's voice hissed in the rainy night: "All teams obey the order, coerce the captain of the brocade clothes, arrest the thief, do not ask the reason, all obey the order, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." Oh yes! ”
"Yes."
"The officers of each team come with me, come to people, and get the lanterns."
Under the rain, someone spread out the parchment, and along the map embroidered in the parchment, his rough fingers pointed in different directions.
And dozens of team officers have gathered by their knives.

There is also a follow, by the way, I ask for a monthly pass, I hope the students will support, thank you!
