The reason why Zhu Houzhao said was to see his quality.

It's because Zhang Xuan is really powerful in history.

It's just that a big etiquette discussion makes people feel like a political opportunist, and it is precisely the mainstream literati who look down on this kind of person the most.

In addition, after he became the first assistant, the means were particularly intense.

In particular, regarding the land annexation and the rectification of the rule of officials, Zhang Xuan solved it quite toughly, and the history books recorded that he 'cleared Qi Zhuangtian, dismissed the town and guarded the internal officials, and the hundred officials obeyed the law, and the road was cut off, and the sea was governed'.

Which official who does these two things can escape the pen of the literati?

In fact, when many descendants investigated Zhang Zhang's official and personality, they also compared him with Zhang Juzheng. Some people even believe that Zhang Juzheng's corruption performance is actually inferior to Zhang Zhang.

Zhang Xuan is an honest and honest person.

Because of this style, he went up and down a few times, and several times he left Beijing, he was like a cold Confucian.

However, officialdom has changed a lot for people, and the same person is not the same in his thirties and forties.

Even if it is the same, it is impossible for Zhu Houzhao to suddenly raise a county to a high level. Human ability itself is to be exercised and embodied in the wind and waves.

For Zhang Xuan himself, when he first served as the magistrate of Shanyang, he was still very satisfied.

Zhang Xuan was born in the eleventh year of Chenghua and is thirty-five years old this year. He doesn't have a powerful father, but he is still smart and studious, so he is sometimes famous.

It's a pity that he has been admitted to the Beijing imperial examination many times in a row, but he has not been able to get the Jinshi. A child from an ordinary family, who is still studying every day in his twenties, and has not yet been admitted to the Jinshi after finishing his studies, is actually a lot of pressure.

From the situation at that time, to being a county official at this time, how can you not be satisfied?

is also because it is not easy to come by, so Zhang Xuan cherishes it doubly, he thinks that the official is quite attentive.

Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture is a Jianghuai Plain area, with a large amount of cultivated land and a large population.

However, after several investigations, he found that the big families in the county often occupy an area of 100 hectares, but the people have no place to stand.

And the relationship in the county is complicated, even in his own yamen, there are many people who always speak to the big family.

Zhang Xuan didn't care about this, in the first year of Zhengde, there was a case of encroachment on acres of land in Shanyang County, and he resolutely protected the people, that is, he did not award the land to a few big clans.

Things are going to the governor of Fengyang,

At that time, Yangzhou and Huai'an attracted the attention of the imperial court because of the salt industry, and Jinyiwei and Yushi often came to investigate, but no one dared to commit crimes against the wind.

After this case, Zhang Xuan became famous.

In the second year of Zhengde, the imperial court decided to build a wide avenue between the north and the south.

Zhang Xuan had been in the capital and had seen with his own eyes how the imperial court used this method to solve the livelihood problems of the poor people, so he quickly realized that this was an opportunity.

After that, it was active operation and coordination, and many people in Shanyang County went to the engineering team, relying on a lot of strength, they could also earn a few wages.

This kind of farming and workmanship have all his efforts as a magistrate, and of course there are some effects.

It's just that after three years of Zhengde, the situation gradually deteriorated.

The engineering team no longer settled the wages on time, and it was delayed for three or five days at first, on the grounds that there was no money itself, but fortunately, it would be fine after a while, and the common people were not better than the troublemakers, so forget it. But then it was seven or eight days, and then ten days and a half moon......

In the winter of the third year of Zhengde, it is often three or four months' wages that have not been paid.

During the Spring Festival, it was said that it could be knotted after the holiday.

At the end of the time, it was knotted, only a little bit, so the people were naturally unwilling.

Zhang Xuan's county government also began to be 'lively', and someone had to deliver a complaint every three or five days.

For this reason, he had already found the officials and engineering team of the Shaofu, but no one was willing to take out the silver, and presenting it was his last move, and it was also the action of flipping the table.

This way up,

There's a reaction over there.

The Shaofu is divided into several departments in the cabinet, and the part in charge belongs to the division of the fortifications, and the division of the officials is divided into projects, and each project has a langzhong.

Linear projects like this need to be managed in sections, so Langzhong is bounded by the government, and each has its own head.

Huai'an Mansion has a principal.

His place of governance is also in Shanyang. Shanyang is the seat of the government.

The principal's name was Yan Liwen, and he hurriedly went out after receiving the news early that morning.

The direction of the trip is the prefect of Huai'an.

In the backyard, he showed things to people.

"The will of the imperial court is to send someone down to investigate this matter. Tian Zhifu, this is your territory, you have the responsibility to defend the land, you have to have an idea! ”

Huai'an prefect Mingtian Ruofu, he was twisting pickles and drinking porridge, but when he put down his chopsticks and looked at the note, he never picked up the chopsticks again.

"How does this make me responsible for defending the land? This matter is a matter of repairing the road, and the repair of the road is the head of the Shaofu, so how can the official guard the land? ”

"How do you defend the soil?" Yan Liwen was still angry when he mentioned this, "That Shanyang Zhixian Zhang Xuan, is it your subordinate?" Is it your control? He stabbed this basket in that letter, but he didn't greet his boss and didn't fight? ”

"What does Yan Zhixian mean by this, could it be that I secretly instigated it?!"

The two of them had a couple of words, but that's all, they all took the money, there would be no such thing as a traitor, and no one would get along with themselves.

"Can you remove this Shanyang Prefecture?" Yan Liwen wanted to come up with a rough method.

"Evacuate people at this time? If there are no three hundred taels of silver here, there should be nothing to do. Moreover, even if it is only Qipinzhi County, it is also an official of the imperial court, unless it is a major crime such as rebellion, even the official cannot easily remove his position. ”

"Can't do it?"

Huai'an prefect Tian Ruofu got up and walked, he touched his goatee and didn't speak for a long time.

In fact, I was in a hurry, Huai'an Mansion was not far from Jingshi, and the people sent soon arrived.

"Director Yan, who did the imperial court send down? This kind of thing is not always Shangshu and Shilang coming in person. ”

"At this point, I will inquire carefully next time, and now I only know that someone has come down, who it is, and the cabinet has not released a list."

Tian Ruofu thought for a long time, and finally began to speak, "No matter who it is, let's do it that way." In the final analysis, we have to deal with two people, one is the person from above, and the other is this Shanyang Zhi County. The magistrate is easy to handle, he acts radically, and there are many people who have offended, so it is not difficult to place him on several charges. It's the people who come down from above. ”

"What does the mansion mean, the following things can't be done." Yan Liwen's narrow eyes narrowed, "It's just what if the money is not good and can't stop their mouths?" ”

"Silver alone is not enough. It is to make this case impossible to investigate. ”

At this juncture, the smaller the case, the worse it is, the bigger the better, and the bigger the impact, the average person should be worried.

Yan Liwen thought for a while, "This case ...... It's not small. You and me, how dare you have such courage? Leave it to me. ”

The division of labor between the two is relatively clear.

In addition, Tian Ruofu also reminded, "The account book that should be there must be done, don't show your feet on it." ”

"So...... To pay or not to pay? ”

"Let's call those workers a little, if you really want to ask, let's explain why the wages have been delayed for a few days, and now they have been made up. As for the foremen, tell them that I will compensate them later. ”

Yan Liwen was also a little uneasy, "Tian Fuzun, you have to keep an eye on where you go to check after the people come, and you should prepare in advance when the time comes." It's better to make sure they can't find out anything! ”

……

That afternoon, Tian Ruofu went directly to Zhang Xuan.

In a hurry, those who don't know think something big has happened.

Although Zhang Xuan has a tough personality, the basic rules of officialdom still have to be observed, so he went out of the lobby to greet him.

"Xia Guan has seen Tian Fuzun."

"Zhang Zhixian, you order a good man, and go with the official to count the grain storage in the county's warehouse!"

Zhang Xuan was strange, "Tian Fuzun, Shanyang County's Cangli grain storage should be 12,000 stones, and when I went to Qingjiangpu County, Banshi, Daxing, and Zhangji villages to make trouble, I borrowed 6,200 stones, and there are 5,800 stones of surplus grain. ”

Tian Ruofu turned around with his hand, "Lent it to Qingjiangpu County?" Which yamen, which boss, when and when did you borrow grain? ”

"What does this mean? It was in this county that the government came to tell the lower officials that the victims were waiting to be fed, and the lower officials were acting according to the orders of the governors. ”

"Bold!!" A middle-aged man behind Tian Ruofu scolded, "Preparing and storing grain is a matter of human life, you said that the government ordered you, but there is an order from the government to borrow grain?" ”

Zhang Xuan was dumbfounded, "This...... There was no decree. But at that time, the situation was urgent, and the Fuzun opened his mouth, and the lower officials did it, how could there be an order to adjust the grain? ”

"Since you don't have it, how dare you say that it was ordered by the Fuzun?! It's clearly your own decision! ”

Zhang Xuan instantly understood, this is a crime to be added, why bother!

"Tian Fuzun, you don't have a subordinate official in your eyes, this subordinate official knows, but if you reverse black and white and frame a subordinate official, this is also impossible! There is a saint tomorrow, this is clear, and the speech must be taken into account! ”

"Bold! This official will be involved in your crime of reselling the warehouse and storing grain! ”

Zhang Xuan was extremely angry, "This matter is in front of the emperor, and the lower officials must also fight on the basis of reason." The people of Qingjiangpu County can witness it! ”

Tian Ruofu squinted and laughed, "Without an edict, there will be no witness." As soon as you opened your mouth, you said that the victims of Qingjiangpu County had eaten the grain you borrowed, so who did the prefect and yamen pay for the grain they bought? ”

Zhang Xuan's face was red and white for a while.

He knew that these people were bad, but he didn't expect them to be so bad.

"I know that you are remorseful because I went to the imperial court and participated in the deduction of wages for the North-South Zhili Road Project! I'll call you again, when today's son is the most intelligent person, you just want to get rich as an official, sooner or later something will happen! ”

Tian Ruofu doesn't care, if he doesn't get rich as an official?

That's still a fucking bird officer.
