"Father, do you really want to go to Zhejiang?" Huang Yunfang said in a low voice: "It's good to go to Zhejiang, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, rich and prosperous, you can also send love to the mountains and rivers when you are old, and write more articles and poems." ”

Huang Guan was still a little moved just now, but when he heard the words behind him, he simply rolled his eyes, you are my own girl, otherwise I won't smoke you!

At this time, Xu Xianzhong was overjoyed when he heard that his grandfather was leaving.

"Go, go, never come back!"

The little cub slapped happily, Huang Guan was almost angry, how could he meet such a little bastard, he has no conscience!

"For my father, this time I will patrol Zhejiang for His Majesty and clean up the accumulated evils, I am afraid that I will go for a while, you are in the capital, you must take care of yourself. Alright, I'm leaving. ”

After saying that, Huang Guan got up and walked outside.

The daughter-in-law and grandson didn't say anything, and the little cub wanted to clap his hands and applaud, and when he arrived at the door, he happened to meet Xu Jingchang.

"Father-in-law, you don't have to go out, the situation of the Ministry of Rites is special, I can think of a way to let you stay."

The son-in-law still has a bit of a conscience, Huang Guan sighed deeply, "Okay, I can't make it difficult for you, this time the six Shangshu are all released, I also want to go to the place to take a look, whether it can eradicate the evil and implement the new system...... I don't want to stay in the capital all the time and be a waste waiting to die. ”

Then Huang Guan said: "You should also be careful, the tree is very popular, and those who succeed us may not be a good thing." In short, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, don't capsize in the gutter. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded again and again, "Father-in-law, don't worry, I won't get involved in too many specific government affairs, let them do everything, what can I do wrong?" ”

"It's not good not to do it!"

Huang Guan laughed, "You reminded me, if I am in Zhejiang and don't do anything, can I return to the DPRK smoothly?" ”

Xu Jingchang smiled: "Isn't it easy!" After all, I'm still in the middle of the court! ”

Huang Guan frowned, thinking in his heart, Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji and others were also ordered to patrol the place. But they lack a good son-in-law, and if they want to return to the court smoothly, they must make a big move, otherwise they will not be able to come back at all.

With the means of these people, they went to the place, and it was very lively.

Thinking of this, Huang Guan's mood improved, this is so much fun.

After turning the day, Huang Guan left Yingtian and went to Hangzhou with a good mood.

He did not choose the land route, but the water route. Take a boat out of the mouth of the Yangtze River, go straight to Hangzhou Bay, and land on the sea. As soon as Huang Guan arrived in Hangzhou, he heard the news that a businessman had bought a singer and planned to bring it back to his country.

After the singer realized that she was going to sea, she jumped into the sea in anger and died.

This incident quickly detonated the city of Hangzhou, saying that there was everything, and people were arguing with each other and arguing with each other......

Huang Guan called the officials of Zhejiang to learn about the matter in person.

According to the inspector, Xu Xilong bowed down and said: "Uncle Zong, this matter has been investigated in detail by the lower officials, and it is really difficult to handle. ”

"Why is it so bad?"

Xu Xilong said: "The imperial court cleaned up the Qinglou painting boat in Yingtian, and we know about it. Zhejiang has also carried out rectification, strictly prohibiting forcing good people to become prostitutes, which Qinglou, once there is a matter of careless disregard for people's lives, we will strictly investigate, and punish hundreds of cases, all of which have been reported to the criminal department...... Now in this matter, please ask the singer to come over, she is a musician herself, and there is no problem. She sang songs on the boat, and the Yishang also spent money, what you like and I want, and then there was a dispute, jumping ship and committing suicide, this section of the Yishang was not on the ship, but went to the city to purchase 200,000 horses of silk, during which she committed suicide, it is really no wonder that the Yishang was on the head. ”

Huang Guan listened carefully, and then said, "Then how should this case be calculated?" How do you close the case when you raise the sentence according to the Prosecutor's Office? ”

"We ...... We are going to count it as if we fell overboard and drowned. He ordered Yishang to pay 1,000 taels in compensation for burial expenses. ”

Hearing this, Huang Guan nodded, "You guys are really well-intentioned, it's not easy!" ”

Xu Xilong was overjoyed, "The great uncle can understand our difficulties, it is really a blessing for the lower officials, and the lower officials thank the great uncle for his understanding......"

Syllable!

didn't wait for Xu Xilong to finish speaking, he saw Huang Guan slam the table, he was furious, and stood up directly.

"This official doesn't want to scold people, but you really lose your face! Do you think you can deceive this official by relying on such ridiculous means? ”

Xu Xilong was greatly surprised, and hurriedly said: "The lower officials don't understand what the great uncle means, and the lower officials don't dare to deceive!" ”

"Come on, take him down!"

As soon as Huang Guan gave an order, someone pounced on him, directly pressed Xu Xilong's shoulder, and pushed him to the ground.

Huang Guan didn't bother to look at him, and directly asked people to drag this thing down.

Then he let out a long breath and looked at the rest of the trembling Zhejiang officials.

"Do you think that this official is unreasonable to take people for no reason?"

Huang Guan sneered, "Although the old man doesn't care about the name of the punishment, I can also understand this method." First of all, the singer is a musician, not a child of a good family, so it is reasonable to invite her over...... Then he said that when he jumped into the sea, Yi Shang was not present, so there was no direct sin, as long as he gave some compensation. ”

"But have you thought about it? If it weren't for the invitation of Yishang, how could the singer get on his ship? No one wants to take her overseas, so how could she jump into the sea and die? She likes to kill herself when she's fine, doesn't she? ”

Huang Guan patted the table and said angrily: "This is one thing, after you take it apart, you want to exonerate Yishang...... How much did he give you? Don't worry, the old man will find out, I definitely won't let any of the Ming people die in vain! ”

Huang Guan's words were loud.

Although Lezhi is considered a pariah, no matter what, it is also a common person officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

Since you are a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you can't die in vain.

Huang Guan took down the entire officials of the Punishment and Prosecution Department in one go, and then took the officials of the Municipal Department of Shipping.

He's really unscrupulous and unrelenting.

Huang Guan quickly figured out what the case was...... On the case file, he directly defined it as trying to kidnap and abduct the people of the Ming Dynasty and force people to die!

As soon as this result came out, it set off a huge wave.

Because of the abduction and abduction of the people of the Ming Dynasty, according to the current laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty, it will be cut by a thousand cuts, and there is no room for mercy.

Huang Guan was not polite, and then wrote a long article to explain the matter.

Later, this article also spread to the capital, and including Xu Jingchang, they all saw the old father-in-law's masterpiece...... I have to say. Huang Guan really penetrated into the inside, and the analysis was clear.

First of all, a large number of Yi merchants came to the Ming Dynasty to do business, among which there were also people from the Wa Kingdom, in the Song Dynasty, the Wa Kingdom had run the Great Song Dynasty to borrow seeds.

However, with the failure of the Yuan Dynasty's conquest of the Japanese State, the Japanese Kingdom came to be proud again, and began to look down on the Ming Dynasty, and the Japanese continued to harass the sea frontier.

In recent years, the prestige of the Ming Dynasty has been restored, the sea fleet has been unimpeded, and there are Japanese merchants who have gone to Daming to do business, and even Japanese women have gone to Daming to borrow seeds.

There are many such things, and naturally some people are thinking about whether they can get the women of Daming to go overseas, and the children born in this way may be better.

Therefore, some people do not hesitate to spend money and want to pay a dowry, and the Ming media is marrying, or buying a concubine.

Unfortunately, however, these attempts have hardly been successful.

Han women are not willing to deal with overseas barbarians at all, even if someone is occasionally willing, as soon as they hear that they are going to live overseas, they immediately shake their heads.

Our Ming Dynasty is so good, we have everything, the Celestial Empire, why are we willing to fall and go overseas to suffer?

When men go overseas, it is beneficial, they can make a fortune and glorify their ancestors, what do women do overseas?

Isn't that!

With this kind of thinking, it doesn't work out at all.

Even if the woman is willing, the family is not willing...... The family is willing, and there are so many relatives and friends, and they don't agree.

On the contrary, if a man goes to Yiren and a woman, Daming is relatively more tolerant. As long as you don't act as a wife, it's even encouraged.

If a mixed-race baby is born, it is not a big problem...... As long as you can speak Chinese fluently, the big guys will be very tolerant, love, and go to school without any problems.

Since the formal method does not work, some people have started to think crookedly.

Moreover, Huang Guan also inquired, and some Yi merchants admitted that the powerful in their country were not only admiring the products of the Ming Dynasty, but also being particularly obsessed with everything in the Ming Dynasty.

Take those porcelain, for example, the figures painted on them are lifelike and often attract admiration.

There are many powerful people who are looking forward to getting a Ming woman, as a wife and concubine, and showing off in front of other nobles, what kind of scenery should it be?

Therefore, some people offered sky-high prices, just to get a Ming woman.

Someone makes an offer, and someone dares to take a risk.

coaxed the singer to get on the boat and bought the green house.

As long as the money given is enough, what is a lowly woman?

Anyway, it's all about making money, as long as you have money, what's so difficult about finding a few more women?

Therefore, it was the people of Qinglou who did not allow the woman to get off the boat, forcing her to be desperate and had to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

At this point, the officials are involved.

In the event of a human life, why are the officials unwilling to act impartially and exonerate Yishang?

In addition to spending money on Yishang, there is another one, that is, the music singer, in the eyes of the Ming officials, is not a person. Of course, Yishang is not a person, but Yishang is rich!

If the case is handled impartially and the matter is handled, the merchants will not dare to come, and the business will not be able to continue, and the local officials will have to bear the consequences.

Huang Guan peeled off the cocoon and told the matter clearly and clearly.

"See the big with the small, see the whole leopard with a glimpse, this article by Huang Shangshu is worth a thousand gold, and every word is beautiful!" Zhu Di sighed: "The General Administration Department, immediately promulgate it to the world, let everyone see it, and officials above the seventh grade must hand over their experience." ”

Xu Jingchang naturally would not refuse, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that judging from this case, several orders must be issued. ”

Zhu Di said: "You say, what are the orders?" ”

"Your Majesty, can this first item completely abolish the untouchable status?" Xu Jingchang said: "As long as the cheap status is still there, it will inevitably despise life, today it is a happy singer, and tomorrow it will not be a good woman, after all, as long as there are loopholes, someone will drill it!" ”

Zhu Di paused, and said: "However, it is necessary to take it step by step, and it is not allowed to buy and sell the people of the Ming Dynasty to the outside world, which is the most important." As for the matter of lowly status, after all, there are still some clan nobles, and they have a lot of concubines, so how to calculate it still needs to be considered. ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful, and the minister will arrange it." ”

Zhu Di said again: "You just said a few decrees, are there any others?" ”

"Yes." Xu Jingchang said: "In view of more and more Yi merchants, we must strengthen management, and make it clear that when they come to Daming, what they can do and what they can't do, it must be Daming who has the final say." Anyone who dares to violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty must be severely punished. The minister proposed the establishment of a special law enforcement yamen. ”

"Yes!" Zhu Di decisively agreed.

"Another point, if because of the severe punishment of the Ming Dynasty, some Yi merchants left and were unwilling to do business with the Ming Dynasty, the minister thought that the Ming side needed to take the initiative to send a fleet to the other country's country and open the country! Dare not to do business with Daming, it's just the opposite! ”

Zhu Di listened. Immediately stroked his palms and said, "Very good, very good!" That's it. ”

Xu Jingchang then returned to the General Administration Department and immediately ordered to summon all the ministers to come.

This time people are different.

Yang Shiqi, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Yang Rong, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Yang Pu, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Hu Guang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Huang Huai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Jin Youzi, the secretary of the Criminal Department.

It's all new faces, but it's not new faces.

The cabinet princes are officially in charge of the six ministries, which can be regarded as a daughter-in-law who has been a mother-in-law for many years.

But what is interesting is that Yang Rong is obviously more familiar with the affairs of the Ministry of Officials, but he was arranged to the Ministry of Households, and Yang Shiqi, who knows the situation of the Ministry of Rites better, was stuffed into the Ministry of Officials, and Yang Pu, a recognized expert in financial management, was put in the Ministry of War...... It's really hard to say which genius's means it is.

Xu Jingchang looked at a few of them and said with a smile: "We are all old friends, working together, don't talk nonsense." This matter in Zhejiang is not trivial. It is not only for Yi merchants, but also for the Hu merchants on the nine sides, and the merchants in the southwest and other places, all officials must be told that the national character of the Ming Dynasty must be maintained, and if the national character is damaged, it must be severely punished! ”

Jin Youzi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "Dingguo Gong, in this case, how can the case in Hangzhou be calculated?" ”

"According to the law of the land!" Xu Jingchang said: "This is a very serious situation, and the Criminal Department should have a resolute attitude. ”

This is true, but it is not much different from not saying it.

Jin Youzi can't say anything else, it seems that the head of the Zhejiang envoy can't be saved, and the rest of the officials must also be severely punished. Huang Shangshu went to Zhejiang, and as soon as he arrived, he took a third-grade official and more than a dozen human head sacrifice flags, which was really terrifying!

After saying this, Yang Shiqi coughed lightly, "Dingguo Gong, there is also news from Jian Shangshu's side, he wants to impeach the officials and generals of the Nine Sides, implicate corruption and corruption, smuggling and fraud, and many crimes. ”

Xu Jingchang said: "Then after the verification, the crime will be punished according to the law." ”

Yang Rong also said: "Dingguo Gong, Xia Shangshu also wrote a letter of impeachment, Henan and other places, people are floating in things, there are officials who derelict their duties, and there are people who pretend to receive money and are greedy for ink and fire." ”

Xu Jingchang laughed, "This is a good thing, the hundred officials of the imperial court, all of them are united in their efforts to eradicate maladministration, as long as it is verified, they will all be severely punished." ”
