Chapter 211: Finding Out the News
After singing a song, Zhu Song couldn't help but applaud this Jin'er girl, well, she sang so well.
"Okay, it's so good to sing, no wonder it's your Yanyu Louyi song! Reward! ”
After hearing this, Chen Zheng took out an ingots from his arms and threw them on the table.
"Thank you, Childe, thank you!"
That Jin'er baby put away this ingot, Zhu Song saw her like this, in fact, he was more or less disdainful in his heart, this song was sung so well just now, but now he is so mercenary, it's a pity.
Zhu Song looked at Jin'er and asked, "This son wants to ask you a few things, if you answer well, this son will still have a reward." ”
The Jin'er girl nodded again and again.
"Childe, just ask, I must know everything."
Zhu Song didn't say it immediately, but looked at Chen Zheng, Chen Zheng immediately understood what Zhu Song meant, opened the door of the private room and looked out, the two guards guarding the door nodded, indicating that no one had come up and it was safe.
Chen Zheng turned around and gave Zhu Song a reassuring look, and then retreated as well.
That Jin'er watched Chen Zheng come out of the private room, and now only himself and this handsome boy were left in the private room.
Although this son is very handsome, Jin'er's ideal is to save enough money to redeem herself, otherwise when she is thirty-nine years old, this Qinglou will force herself to welcome guests with her body.
Besides, even if it is redeemed, I am afraid that when it comes to the home of this handsome son, it can only be small.
This Jin'er is very high-spirited, she just doesn't want to be small, so she wants to save money and escape.
"This son, if you still want to hear me sing, the slave family can still sing to you, but you got your subordinates out, what are you going to do to the slave family?"
Zhu Song was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then drained all the wine in the cup.
"You're mistaken, Ben...... Ben Gongzi didn't want to do anything to you, Ben Gongzi actually wanted to ask you something, how is the reputation of your Hangzhou officials? For example, whether it was corrupt, whether it usurped the taxes of the imperial court and did not pay them in time? ”
This Jin'er waved his hand after hearing this.
"Childe, do you still need to talk about it? How can there be officials in the world who are not greedy, these officials are very greedy! ”
"If you want to think that when Emperor Taizu was here, how could there be corrupt officials in this world, how dare they be greedy, this is going to be greedy, Emperor Taizu would have cut off their heads a long time ago!"
"Later, this Emperor Jianwen came up, don't say whether the people are happy or not, anyway, I think those officials and old men are quite happy!"
"Oh?"
Zhu Song didn't expect that the reputation of this Hangzhou official would be so bad.
"It seems that you are really angry with your officials in Hangzhou."
Na Jin'er was startled when she heard this, and in a panic, she wondered if she had said the wrong thing? Look at this son's extraordinary bearing, don't you be the son of an official master?
Thinking of this, Jin'er shuddered, and hurriedly made up for himself.
"This son, I was joking with you just now, in fact, our parents in Hangzhou are all good! Not only the year before last, the Hangzhou embankment was destroyed a lot of farmland, or our parents here took the initiative to provoke the girder, deducted the salt tax that should go to the imperial court, and repaired the embankment, otherwise there are nine embankments, not to mention the surroundings of Hangzhou, I am afraid that this big water will rush to Hangzhou! ”
When Zhu Song heard this, he seemed to have suddenly grasped something.
"What did you just say, the year before last, they withheld the salt tax that should have been handed over to the imperial court, and then used this salt tax to build the embankment?"
Jin'er nodded, then shook her head again.
"Childe, don't ask me that, I also heard from other guests, in fact, I don't understand, what kind of salt tax is this, and what other taxes are, anyway, that's what the guests said."
Zhu Song thought carefully about the year before last, it should have been the second year of Jianwen, when the imperial court was at war, and it was in full swing.
If nine of Zhejiang's dikes had been washed away by the flood at that time, they would have had a good reason to withhold the salt tax.
But nine dikes were washed away in a row, if Zhu Song remembered correctly, it seems that when his father was still there, it seemed that in the twenty-eighth or twenty-ninth year of Hongwu, Zhejiang was like the imperial court had applied for a sum of money, that is, to repair some dikes, and if he remembered correctly, it was also nine dikes.
How many years has it been since the dam was repaired? It was washed away by the heavy rain again, and Zhu Song keenly smelled that there seemed to be some articles in it.
"What else do you know?"
Jin'er didn't answer after hearing this, and after half a year, Chen Zheng walked back and immediately poured out all the silver he was carrying.
Zhu Song pointed to the pile of silver on the table.
"If you tell me everything you know, about thirty or forty taels of silver will be yours."
If the silver ingot before made Jin'er's eyes light up, then these thirty or forty taels can be said to make Jin'er's eyeballs almost fall off.
"Childe took the liberty of asking, you are too generous, what are you doing? Will someone come and take me away after I'm done? ”
Zhu Song waved his hand: "Don't worry, with Ben Gongzi here, no one will arrest you, you just need to tell everything you know, it is best to be related to the salt tax and whether the officials in Hangzhou have done some illegal things?" ”
When Jin'er heard Zhu Song ask this, she probably guessed the identity of the handsome boy in front of her, and generally asked the officials if they had done anything illegal behind their backs and asked about the salt tax, so the pretty brother in front of her was obviously Jinyiwei.
It's too late for these ordinary people to see Jinyiwei hiding, but in fact, Jinyiwei has never felt sorry for the people, at least during the Hongwu Dynasty.
But the people think so, this brocade guard is dedicated to those officials, and those officials are to govern our people, then the brocade guard must be the most powerful.
Jin'er in front of Zhu Song is obviously a half-grown child, this newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and he immediately became excited when he thought that the handsome brother in front of him might be Jinyiwei.
"No, this guest officer! This son, you shouldn't be a Jinyiwei, right? ”
After hearing this, Zhu Song chuckled in his heart, oops! I was still too anxious, showing my feet, and even a little girl in the Qinglou could see that she was a brocade guard, and she was the biggest brocade guard in the world, but I was afraid that she hadn't done her homework yet.
This Zhu Songjian has been exposed, so he won't play dumb riddles with this little girl, and nodded immediately.
"Yes, I am Jinyiwei, this time I came to the order of the emperor, to thoroughly investigate the officials in Zhejiang, if you know anything, you can tell this official!"
