As soon as Wang Cheng, the chief flag officer of the Jinyi Guard, came out, Cai Gong, the small banner under his command, stopped him: "Brother Wang, the water in here is very deep, let's not come out, even if we want to come out, we should ask the top first." ”

After hearing this, Wang Cheng looked at Cai Gong: "How deep?" ”

"Subscription coupons are more expensive than gold at the moment, and everyone wants to make more money at home, so maybe our head is also involved in the monopoly."

"And our duty is only to ensure that the people can submit secret reports to the secret box, and the rest of the things, if we manage them, may not only be useless, but will be in trouble, we really have to get by with a conscience, at most when they throw a secret report to the secret box, we guarantee that they can tell the truth."

Cai Gong said.

Wang Cheng gritted his teeth and frowned after hearing this.

At this time, Zhu Jiayan looked over very provocatively and asked Wang Cheng: "What, you Jinyiwei want to take care of this matter?" ”

When Wang Cheng heard this, he couldn't help but walk out angrily.

Cai Gong hurriedly grabbed him: "Big brother, we are all people with wives and children!" ”

Wang Cheng had no choice but to continue to hold back, and then watched as the soldiers were beaten and fled, and many of them lay on the ground wailing.

"Your Majesty has changed us from a commoner to a close minister of the Son of Heaven, do we really ignore it?"

Wang Cheng couldn't help but ask Cai Gong at this time.

Cai Gong said: "Where does Your Majesty know about us? ”

"It is Zhang Tishuai's milk brother Huo Qianhu who has promoted us, and we have to remember the kindness of Huo Qianhu or Master Zhang's family!"

"So, if this matter implicates Huo Qianhu and even the Zhang family, won't we be considered revenge?"

Wang Cheng couldn't help asking: "You mean that Zhang Timhuai is also possible?" ”

"Hard to say!"

"The value of this subscription coupon is now rising three times a month, Zhang Tishuai is in a high position, and he is the son of the first master, and he is deeply favored by His Majesty, so it is inevitable that he will not covet the benefits here."

Cai Mao said.

Wang Chengdao: "Even you think so, I'm afraid that people in the world have long thought so, and even Your Majesty thinks so." ”

"Thousands of households have an order, and the county guards stationed in Jinyi are not allowed to interfere in local political affairs, especially the dispute over subscription coupons! In addition, in order to prevent the people's livelihood from happening, all the secret notices in the secret box must be handed over to the yamen of thousands of households first, otherwise, you will know how serious the consequences will be! ”

"If you follow orders and don't come nonsense, the chief secretary will give Jinyiwei a chance to purchase subscription coupons at the end of the year as a reward!"

Not long after, He Xiaosheng, who was here in Jinyi Wei Baihu, rode over on horseback and instructed Wang Cheng and the others.

Wang Cheng said yes, and then glanced at Cai Mao.

"I can't even guarantee that the people can sue."

"It seems that at least Huo Qianhu is in collusion with local officials."

Wang Cheng said to Cai Mao after He Baihu left.

Cai Mao said: "That Zhang Tishuai is more likely to participate in this matter, chief, our net worth is small, but people can't be ungrateful and do great things!" We can only pretend not to know about this! ”

Wang Cheng just sighed after hearing this.

"Sure enough, people die for money, birds die for food, and even the Jinyi guards are all in the same stream, and they want to let the benefits of the subscription coupon only be swallowed by the bureaucrats."

Zhu Yijun couldn't help but say something after knowing the situation of the Jinyi Guard in Suzhou Mansion through Sun Bin, the commander of the East Factory.

Sun Bin replied: "Emperor, they all think that anyway, the imperial court just wants to use the people's assets to develop foreign benefits by subscribing to coupons, and as for whether the profits of the subscription coupons flow to the people or to the hands of bureaucrats, it is naturally not important, so they have the courage to do so." ”

"Can this foreign profit flow only to the hands of the bureaucracy and the people in the same way as it can still flow to the people?!"

Zhu Yijun asked angrily.

Sun Bin hurriedly bowed down and replied, "Yes!" This is different, but they take it for granted that they are the same, and feel that the people are not eligible for this benefit. ”

"If this doesn't work, if the people's income does not increase, the prosperity of the society will be a false prosperity!"

Zhu Yijun said.

Sun Bin therefore asked: "The emperor wants to let people check those brocade guards, as well as Ying Tian's caressing?" ”

Zhu Yijun said: "Don't check first!" If a batch of corrupt officials are found today, will there be no tomorrow? ”

"There will still be."

Zhu Yijun then replied to himself, and said: "The key is to see if the people themselves have the consciousness to fight for their own interests, and they can't always know that they only know that the Son of Heaven is counting on Qing officials, not everyone is me, and not everyone is Haigang Peak!" ”

"What's more, Hai Gangfeng is sick, they should also learn to fight for their own interests, just like the Hanmen scholars were slaughtered before, they want to be strong, they can't be like a giant baby, they only know how to cry, and they only know how to wait for the court to solve it."

"Father means to let the people make trouble on their own?"

The crown prince Zhu Changxun, who was also here, couldn't help but ask at this time.

Zhu Yijun bowed his head and said with a smile: "Isn't it said that Suzhou has the highest literacy rate among the people, and the workers and citizens also have the most, I want to see if they are the people's wisdom, will they disappoint me, is it worth relying on them to promote new culture in the future, and rely on them to fight against the bureaucracy." ”

Zhu Yijun said: "Prince, you must know that Jinyiwei is also a bureaucrat, and when he goes down, he will also hold it, and they are the only ones who can make decisions for the people, even if I and you can't completely help them, it is not easy not to be an accomplice." ”

Zhu Changxun said yes.

Zhu Yijun smiled again, and then looked out of the hall with thick eyebrows twisted slightly, he was a little worried that Zhang Jingxiu and Zhang Maoxiu brothers would be corrupted, and if this was the case, he would have to face the cruel reality of starting to do something to his own people.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Tishuai asks to see you."

And at this moment, the clerical officer Tian Yi came over and said a word.

Zhu Yijun's eyebrows furrowed after hearing this, and said, "Let him in." ”

After Zhang Jingxiu came in, he fell directly to the ground: "The minister pleads to Your Majesty!" ”

"What's the crime?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

Zhang Jingxiu replied: "The prefect of Jingzhou deliberately sold the subscription coupon one day in advance, and deliberately only let my Zhang family know, so that my Zhang family could get the entire share of the iron ore subscription coupon in Jingzhou this year. ”

"Didn't Jingzhou Shimin make trouble?"

Zhu Yijun asked.

Zhang Jingxiu replied: "No, I am afraid of the power of the minister, and I dare not compete with the minister's Zhang family." ”

Zhu Yijun said: "You can honestly tell me that I know that I am very happy, and it can be regarded as preserving the reputation and dignity of your Zhang family!" Therefore, I will give you a chance to make meritorious contributions, you immediately send someone to arrest the prefect of Jingzhou, and all the subscription coupons obtained by your Zhang family due to this person's care will be returned to the household department for destruction, and I will give you the same amount of subscription coupons to the Zhang family in recognition of your Zhang family's virtue of public interest, and at the same time, the subscription coupons distributed to Jingzhou will be resold from the profits distributed to Jingzhou. ”

"Yes!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Jingxiu said gratefully.

Zhu Yijun said: "The tree is a big move, I know that you have used a lot of your relatives and friends in Jinyiwei, but these people may have been corrupted by people with ulterior motives, you should be prepared to deal with it yourself!" ”

"Yes!"
