Chapter 662: Three Birds with One Stone
After the emperor helped judge Zhou Huai's case, the notice that Song Heng had posted outside the governor's yamen finally played a big role. With such a demonstration, there are more people who report the evil of the powerful in the countryside.
It can be regarded as completing the task assigned by Zhu Houzhao in the last two days.
Of course, what was handed over was a bit ugly.
Shanyang County, Qinghe County, Andong County...... When the list is made up from all over the place, how can there be more than one Zhou Huai?
Zhu Houzhao looked through it little by little,
Wang Bing and the others who were waiting on the side were beating drums in their hearts, and the emperor said that if he was not satisfied, the holy car would not move.
The only sound in the room was the clatter of paper pages.
At one point, the Emperor suddenly spoke.
โโฆโฆ That Zhou Huai, how many silver taels were copied out of the house? โ
Song Heng's body shook and replied: "Qiqi Shengshang, a total of more than 800,000 taels." โ
"Aren't there a million?"
Forehead......
"The cash is indeed only more than 800,000. There are also some antique calligraphy and paintings, which should be able to make up a million after pawning. โ
"In this way, he is not particularly rich in the area of Nanzhili. Originally, looking at his posture, I thought he was a great person. โ
"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, and in the eyes of Your Majesty, Zhou Huai is indeed not worth mentioning."
"Those antiques, calligraphy and paintings can be pawned, hurry up, and then pack the silver as soon as possible."
So far, the emperor's tone has been calm.
The note, which had many names written on it, didn't seem to cause any turmoil.
Wang Bing's heart was a little relieved, it seemed that the emperor was indeed the one he had guessed.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, Wechen has already arranged people. However, if you sell it urgently, the price is probably to let some. โ
This Zhu Houzhao naturally knows, "Wang Ge Lao, Yang Ge Lao." โ
"The minister is here."
"We cleaned up a salt merchant and made a windfall. With soldiers, although military salaries can solve most of the problems, but silver ingots can't kill the enemy, so much money has to have a greater use. Have you thought about this? โ
"Wechen thought about it." Yang Tinghe said in a deep voice.
"Tell me about it."
"Yes. First of all, the imperial court has an extra sum of silver, which is always good in terms of war, whether it is food, military uniforms, weapons, and war horses, it can be more adequately guaranteed, so first, it can ensure that there is no shortage of food and no arrears. Second, if such a sudden wealth should be used well, the minister feels that it can be started from three aspects. โ
"What three aspects?"
"Horses, heavy armor, firearms. None of these three things cost nothing. โ
Zhu Houzhao didn't feel sorry for the money, "There are not many troops equipped like this, as long as there are two guards, the Ming army is invincible in the world!" โ
"That's exactly what the minister meant."
Wang Bing said: "But the battle in the northwest is imminent, and it is too late to replace the battle." Preparations can only be made first, so that the silver cannot be used in the northwest. โ
"It doesn't matter, if you are afraid to do things, you can do them. I don't lack a little wealth of this surname Zhou, so I will prepare it first. โ
When the minister thought about it, it was indeed not bad.
"Give the Ministry of War a decree. Let them start planning and have a charter as soon as possible. โ
"Yes!"
Zhu Houzhao weighed the notes in his hand, "As for these things...... Song Heng, "
"The minister is here."
"I can't decide a case for you here every day, you can handle it yourself, right?"
Song Heng knelt down, "This time there is this kind of adverse thing in Huai'an Mansion, which disturbs His Majesty's leisure, and this is all the fault of the minister." Wechen must remember the lesson, investigate the case in detail, return justice to the people, and give His Majesty an explanation. โ
"Don't have too many distractions, you should be your governor of Fengyang, there will be a big court meeting in the eleventh year of Zhengde, and I will listen to your report when the time comes."
"Weichen, obey!"

Continuing south from Huai'an Mansion is to pass through Yangzhou, where the Son of Heaven does not stop much.
Li Dongyang has already fallen ill. Zhu Houzhao didn't know that he would die next year, so he was a little worried that he wouldn't be able to see the last time.
If you talk about Yangzhou, you can only watch it next time.
After Yangzhou, it is not considered to be the boundary under the jurisdiction of the governor of Fengyang, but should be the governor of Yingtian.
And the closer you get to the south of the Yangtze River, the more there is a spring scene of willows and flowers blooming.
Zhu Houzhao called Concubine Xian and Concubine Jing to his carriage, and it was not bad to talk a little more on the road.
As for his courtiers...... I'm looking for one for each of them.
Yang Tinghe has always had something in his heart.
The Son of Heaven was not angry because of the fact that Huai'an Mansion was on so many powerful lists, which means that Wang Bing's guess is probably close.
Don't look at the fact that they don't have any movement here, in fact, the sudden discovery of so many such things will have a great impact on other provinces and even other provinces.
After all, where are these things not there?
If we all follow this method, how many heads will have to be cut off?
Moreover, Xia Jiangnan is also involved in the investigation of the case, and the officials themselves are probably worried.
In this way, a certain purpose of the emperor has also been achieved.
โโฆโฆ When we arrived in Yingtian, I don't know how many people inquired about these things, they were not big, some of them were just strong, but the fame was too big and the influence was too great, even ordinary people knew that the emperor had arrested many of them. Wait until there is a way to learn from it...... Even if Yingtian's officials have two eyes, they can't look at the heroes and people below. โ
Wang Bing clasped his hands and looked at an ordinary little old man, who actually had a good understanding of the situation.
"Therefore, as long as Your Majesty arrives in Yingtian, the people's feelings will definitely boil."
"The old man originally felt that there was no need to be like this, what His Majesty wanted to do, just make a will. But after carefully experiencing it in the past two days, I still feel that it is really necessary, and it is justifiable and logical, and I can accept it better. โ
Yang Tinghe said: "Did the cabinet always say that the ministers of the DPRK and the central government? โ
"Yes and no. There are also these rural gentry in the world. Wang Bing's eyes were half open, and his fingers were empty, "Kill a batch, catch a batch, kill one to make an example, the rest are honest, and the policies of the imperial court must be easier to push." In addition, it can indeed purify the atmosphere of the world and save the people. In this way, Your Majesty kills three birds with one stone. โ
And make it completely invisible.
Before that, they really felt that this time the emperor was just going down to the south of the Yangtze River.
Wang Bing smiled, "Especially after listening to Zhou Huai's case with my own ears, I feel that it is necessary for Your Majesty to make one more detour." Da Ming, you can't let these people be ruined into a four-like. Isn't it? โ
"In this way, His Majesty will vigorously urge this matter after returning to Beijing."
"It shouldn't be wrong, you and I are witnesses, when the time is right, let's find a speaker." Wang Bing's mood is quite relaxed.
This is really a big thing, if he makes this contribution to the emperor, then his position in the cabinet will be more stable, and Yang Yiqing and Wang Wei will always leave one day.
Turning his head to look at Yang Tinghe again, Wang Bingzhuo said unintentionally, "Of course, it doesn't have to be a speech official, Ling Lang also has a sharp spirit." It's up to you, the father, to allow it. โ
This is a credit, Yang Tinghe certainly understands what he means.
"Dogs?" Yang Tinghe could only be modest first, "He is tired of his talent and fame, and now can he understand the deep meaning of His Majesty and the elder of the pavilion." โ
Wang Bing won't talk about it anymore, he used to know, but people always have to grow a little, right?
This matter is just a symptom now, and there is no urgency. And he did what he had to do, as for what others thought, he didn't expect it, and he didn't care.

I almost overslept today, and I didn't have time to code words.
Because I signed up for today's martyr's commemoration event, I happened to have this opportunity in the unit. I woke up early and it was raining, so I was a little tired, so I was very sleepy until five o'clock in the afternoon so I slept for a while.
Also, it makes a lot of sense today. I'm really going to cry at that moment =ยท=
