Zhu Di's firecracker exploded in the sky above Yingtian, and also made Xu Jingchang flustered and broke out in a cold sweat.

Thinking of Xia Yuanji's words just now, Xu Jingchang's whole person was not good......

Zhu Di is now eager to make up for the deficit in the treasury, and it cannot affect the recovery of people's livelihood. You want the horses to run, but you want the horses not to eat grass.

He asked the six departments to do their duty, just to do the thing of digging up meat and mending sores, and he couldn't cry out for pain, so he got a bunch of doctors to watch at him.

But the problem is that whether it is a business tax or a trip to the West, these bad things have something to do with themselves.

If you make a mistake, you will end up with the truth, with your current humanity, it is estimated that the Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and when you hear that you are unlucky, you will only clap your hands and applaud, and you can't wait to come over for dinner.

Now that the division of rights and responsibilities is clear, Xia Yuanji only needs to keep the land tax and add the salt tax at most.

There are fixed methods for these three things, as long as the supervision is strict, it is not difficult to increase the income by one or two percent.

The real killer is in yourself.

If you can't collect it, you will be scolded.

When I put it away, I was still scolded.

The Inspectorate and the six departments, no one will be polite.

Xu Jingchang subconsciously looked around, only to feel that a pair of sinister eyes were about to swallow him alive.

These insects are definitely going to punch hard!

Zhu Laosi, this guy, he is the emperor, and the emperor is a dangerous species, and he can't be expected to be kind-hearted and soft-faced...... Even if my aunt is there, it won't work.

Xu Jingchang broke out in a cold sweat, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, and half of his soul flew away.

Seeing that it was midnight, the drum sounded, and according to Zhu Di's instructions, the copper lock with a bull's head was opened, and the ministers could finally leave the prison and go home quickly.

Like the students who went to the cafeteria to grab food, they ran out one after another.

Even Liu Jun and Song Li, the six Shangshu and high-ranking officials in the ministry, actually ran away.

Finally free.

Hurry up and get out of the prison and never come back.

When you get home, you must wash well, burn the stinking rags, and prepare a large brazier at the door to ward off evil spirits.

As long as you are alive in this life, you will never come again.

They ran out one after another, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji stayed at the end, and the two of them looked at each other again and again, both smiling.

"When I go back, I will write a letter and ask the Beijing to inspect the hundred officials, clean up the officialdom, and give His Majesty an explanation."

Xia Yuanji said: "I also have to send officials here to urge all localities to urge the payment of money and grain, and I have to bear some infamy." No matter what, we can't live up to God's grace. ”

As they spoke, they glanced at Xu Jingchang, who was still thinking about it with his head bowed behind them, and the two of them laughed and said: "Xu Tongzheng, let's go, you have to hurry up, think about a way, if there is any difficulty, you come to us, we will definitely help." Rest assured, we won't be holding back. ”

The last sentence was fluttering, but Xu Jingchang listened to it, as if thunder exploded, and shuddered.

He took two quick steps forward, and Xia Yuanji and Jian Yi had already gone out.

Xu Jingchang looked to both sides, the chains were still there, and the bull-headed lock had not been moved.

Xu Jingchang, who saw this scene, suddenly blessed his heart, he hurriedly grabbed the chains on both sides, wrapped them together, and then locked the locks.

He didn't come out, but turned around and went back to the prison!

I'm not going out!

What is this operation?

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji hadn't gone far yet, and when they looked back, their jaws were about to fall.

"Xu Tongzheng, what the hell are you doing?"

"Your Majesty has said that when the time comes, you will allow the big guy to go home, what are you doing in the prison? Are you still in prison and addicted? ”

Xu Jingchang didn't care what these two people said at all, he even wanted to hum a few small tunes.

I'm such a genius.

Instead of going out to carry the black cauldron, I might as well stay in the prison.

There is food and drink, and it is a big deal to live for another year.

In case the big guy can't complete the task next year, Zhu Di will move in, and he can still be a companion with him.

Very good!

Xu Jingchang walked a few steps inside, and suddenly saw Wang Zhong, Marquis of Jing'an, which startled him.

"You, why are you here? Get out of here, Your Majesty agreed. ”

Wang Zhong smiled, "Xu Tongzheng, I've thought about it these days, no matter what, I have to listen to you, the horse is the first to see, if you don't leave, I won't leave." Anyway, His Majesty let me squat for three months, and I still haven't finished squatting for more than two months! ”

Xu Jingchang smiled dumbly, "I said Jing'anhou, I won't go out, it's all enemies, and no one wants me to pass the test smoothly." You went out to lead the troops and became a marquis, why did you suffer with me? ”

"No!"

Wang Zhong said decisively: "I scolded Xia Yuanji, that guy is a smiling tiger, I'm afraid he will give me small shoes to wear." The only one who can help me now is you, Xu Tongzheng. No matter what, I will go with you. ”

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and said helplessly: "If you come, you will be safe." Let's just stay in there. ”

Wang Zhong readily agreed, and then the two of them were left in the prison and did not go out, and then the entire Ming Dynasty Hall was all messed up.

Xu Jingchang is not the kind of dispensable little person, under his management, the General Administration Department has the posture to become the center of the government.

Moreover, after the merger of the tax collection authority, the General Administration Department has the power to collect taxes, plus the private newspaper, which can be on an equal footing with the six inspectorates.

Now that Xu Jingchang is picking, many government affairs are unable to deal with it.

The most important thing is that Zhu Di's ambition forced the ministers to make a military order, what should I do?

Who will implement it?

Are you waiting for the big guys to come in again next year?

Xu Jingchang, you bastard!

The annual leave is not over yet, and the ministers are all frying.

Bastard surnamed Xu, we're not done!

They jumped to their feet and scolded, and Zhu Di was also angry.

"What's the matter, my words don't work? He Xu Jingchang is so disobedient, he has to stay in the prison, and he can't get along with me? Zhu Di shouted angrily.

Empress Xu is not used to him, "Your Majesty, I said a long time ago, let you be nice to your nephew, you have to lock him up, don't talk about it at all, these few months, how hard the child is, Your Majesty's approach is really chilling?" ”

Zhu Di's eyes widened, is this still wrong?

"Boss, you say!"

Zhu Gaochi hesitated for a long time, and could only lean over and say: "Father, to be honest, you said that the government is chaotic, greed for ink is rampant, and hundreds of officials need to reflect on themselves, of course this is true." But to put it mildly, my cousin was appointed by his father as a general envoy, and he had only been in office for a few months. The greedy ink of the various yamen was caught by his cousin, and he didn't put a penny in his arms. He helped his father do so much, but his father locked him up with ordinary courtiers, and it was chilling to be a child. ”

Zhu Di was speechless for a while, and then looked at the second child.

"What do you say?"

Zhu Gaoxu said: "The child thinks that his father should go to the prison in time and invite his cousin out. ”

"You asked me to invite him? Is he Jiang Taigong? Zhu Di said angrily.

"My cousin is not Jiang Ziya, but he is Tao Zhugong!" Zhu Gaoxu replied.

Zhu Di was even more stunned, if you want to talk about the way of financial management, Xu Jingchang is extraordinary just by virtue of the Jubaomen tax card, and he is still a royal prince and can be trusted. In addition, he is witty and can often break the routine and make a move inadvertently...... For example, this time the ministers all came out, but he was the only one who stayed.

Zhu Di was vague, and he could guess Xu Jingchang's thoughts.

To tell the truth, Zhu Di couldn't help but clamor him for taking a case, this rabbit cub is really cunning in addition to being annoying. When he came out, he and his ministers received the military order, and if he couldn't complete it by then, he would definitely be targeted by everyone.

At this time, he stayed inside, but it made a difference all of a sudden.

"Alright, I'm gone! Don't be idle, you two, come with me! ”

Zhu Di led the two pigs and came to the prison again.

I have to say that Xu Jingchang is really ruthless.

was stunned and forced Zhu Di to come to prison for the second time.

And unlike last time, this time Zhu Di really came in.

With the two princes, seeing Xu Jingchang, Zhu Di asked sharply, "Do you kid feel wronged, do you think you want me to compensate you?" Do you need me to prepare a carriage for you and pull you out like Mrs. Jiang? ”

Xu Jingchang was taken aback, "Your Majesty, where do you start with this, it's a big wrong!" ”

He immediately denied it, joking, even if I complained about Zhu Laosi in my heart, I would never be able to say it.

Zhu Di tilted his two sons, and then sighed heavily: "You said you were wronged, so why didn't you go out?" ”

Xu Jingchang said very simply: "If you go out, you will be arrested, and the next time the minister will be the culprit who did not complete His Majesty's requirements, I am afraid that I will not even be able to squat in the prison, and I will be sent directly to the vegetable market, what will the minister do when he goes out?" ”

"Ridiculous!" Zhu Di snorted: "You still complain about me, I will naturally take care of you like a nephew, and no one can touch you." ”

Xu Jingchang shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, things are not so simple. You are gracious and powerful, thunder and rain, even Emperor Taizu can't do better. But you're just getting the ministries to do their job, but what exactly is going to be done, and you're not planning it carefully. What are the most important things, how do they need to be coordinated if there is a conflict, and how many responsibilities does each ministry have...... None of these things are clearly stated. Now that the minister is out, he can't collect commercial taxes, and the deficit in the treasury can't be made up, and everyone will blame the minister. In this case, what are the ministers going out for, it is better to wait here for the courtiers to come in and reunite. ”

After saying this, Zhu Di fell into deep thought, yes, he just let them be loyal, but he didn't make it clear what to do.

We can't say that the courtiers don't have a conscience, but it's a pity that there aren't too many.

Maybe out of the New Year, he forgot about the things that he cried and swore in front of the king, and he reverted to his old ways......

"Since this is the case, I will send a decree to the six ministries and Jiuqing, and ask them to formulate a specific plan as soon as possible, hand it in as soon as possible, and do not prevaricate perfunctory. Whoever can't hand it over will be put in prison immediately! Zhu Di said viciously.

Dragged the courtiers into the water again...... Xu Jingchang is really a complete bastard!
