After the worship of the Temple of the Son of Heaven was over, I left amid the cries of countless people and went to the Temple of the Pole to worship the Jongmiao, and the people gathered began to pay homage to the Temple of the Son of Heaven in an orderly manner.

It took half a day to worship the Pole Temple, and it was already the end of the Shen time, so he ordered the hundred officials to go back to rest, and the small court would be moved to the next morning.

On the way back, Zhang Liang asked to return to the Sihai Hall together, looking at his expression, I guess something happened to the south of the Yangtze River, and now it is already a heavy tax place for the imperial court, so it is strange if nothing happens, so I took him back with him.

In the Four Seas Palace, Qi Wan had already learned to make tea, so he handed over these chores to him.

I smiled and said, "How?" How is the road from Wushu County to Wuguan Road repaired? ”

Zhang Liang was a little helpless, smiled bitterly, and replied: "Your Majesty, the minister now knows that being an official and seeking a plan are really completely different things!" ”

I noticed that Zhang Liang was used to calling himself a minister, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "I don't know the way in it, isn't it also for the sake of being an official?" ”

Zhang Liang sighed and said: "For the sake of planning, make suggestions, only for the sake of the superior." But what about this official? It is from thin things to huge friends, which are inextricably linked, for the people's plan, the minister does not dare not be unreasonable, and dare not slack off for a moment! ”

"Okay, let's talk about it, what problems have you encountered?" If it wasn't for something particularly important, he wouldn't have come to me to cry.

Zhang Liangzheng arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, there will be at least three people to impeach the ministers in the court tomorrow, and I came to see Your Majesty today in the hope that Your Majesty will be prepared." ”

I nodded, guessing, "It's about building roads, right?" Chu Liu, Wang Bo, Ji and the three of them shouldn't be able to run, who else is there? ”

The three were the county guards of Nanjun, Hengshan County, and Lujiang County, and it was not surprising that Zhang Liang's planned road passed through the three counties, and the fact that private handicrafts were allowed would inevitably affect the trade and taxation of the three county governments.

Zhang Liang sighed heavily: "I heard that Gan Daiyi is also a little dissatisfied!" ”

I frowned slightly, and said strangely: "Only the three counties allow Qianshou to sell homemade goods, and the roads are also built in the three counties, what does it matter to him in Minzhong County?" Gan Daiyi is an honest man, have you offended him? ”

Zhang Liang smiled bitterly: "Yes, it's not." At the beginning of last month, Gan Daiyi arrested dozens of Qianshou who crossed the border from Lujiang County, and after Jihe learned about it, he personally went to Minzhong County to ask Gan Daiyi to release him, and he also went under the banner of the minister, claiming that if Gan Daiyi did not release him, the minister would withdraw the subsidy for road repair! Gan Daiyi was furious, it was really hard to provoke the honest man when he was angry, and he directly blasted Jihe out, and threatened to let the minister personally tell him if he had the ability, and he didn't want to take any of these arrested people away. ”

After listening to Zhang Liang's narration, I probably understood, and said with a slight squint in my eyes: "It seems that this Jihe and Gan Daiyi are a little dirty, otherwise how could they tear their faces because of this little thing?" ”

I glanced at Zhang Liang and said with a smile: "Jihe, under your banner, you have suffered an unwarranted disaster." ”

Zhang Liang was speechless and guessed: "The ministers of the two of them have heard a little. When pacifying Baiyue that year, the emperor ordered the four counties of Qianzhong, Changsha, Lujiang and Minzhong to provide grain and grass for the army of Guowei Sui. Jihe found Gan Daiyi, saying that the boundary between himself and Baiyue was short and the distance was long, so it was better to give the grain and grass to Fujian and let Gan Daiyi transport it over. Gan Daiyi was an honest man, so he agreed after consulting the emperor. ”

"But Gan Daiyi was shocked when he saw the grain and grass, Jihe was transported to Fujian by water! At that time, central and southern Fujian had not yet been conquered, and there was no waterway to go! So he immediately found Jihe and asked him to provide grain trucks and horses. I don't know what happened to the two, but in the end, Gan Daiyi pinched his nose and confessed, and recruited the people to build grain trucks and collect cattle and horses day and night, and hurried to catch up with the army's grain and grass. As for whether this matter was commented on by the emperor, it is unknown, anyway, the two have not dealt with each other since then. ”

I was speechless for a while, held my forehead, and complained, "Both of them are in their forties this year, right?" What kind of thing about Chen sesame rotten millet still holds a grudge against it? ”

Tu Sui was the first general of the Qin army to conquer Baiyue, and it had to be the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King Qin, that is, the year when Yingzheng was called the emperor, and it has been sixteen years now! I found that the ancients were really able to hold grudges, and it is not for nothing that feuds can be passed down from generation to generation......

I waved my hand and said, "Okay, I know, I will deal with him in the matter of peace, and as for the matter of trade, I have my own opinions." ”

Zhang Liang got up and bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister retires!" ”

————

The next day, Xianyang Palace, court meeting.

Sure enough, as Zhang Liang expected, everyone finished playing in order, and the three of them immediately stood up.

"Your Majesty, the reason why the taxes of the three counties have decreased in five years and a year is precisely because the imperial court allowed the people to trade goods privately, which greatly affected the tax revenue and trade income. Your Majesty, take back this life! ”

Chu Liu and Wang Bo echoed: "Please Your Majesty take back this life!" ”

I glanced at the three of them and said lightly, "Get up." Since you say that this policy has affected the business of the government, I ask you, why would the Qianshou prefer to buy from private individuals with goods of varying quality than from the government? ”

The three of them glanced at each other and quibbled: "Because private people make it at home, there is no transportation fee, and the price is low, so the government is naturally not as good as it!" ”

I said lightly: "There are three generals in Jiangnan, where is the distance?" I'm afraid that you don't have to worry about the market, so you make shoddy products, right? This policy is related to the construction of Henglu Road, how can you, as a county guard, be so short-sighted? What do you think if I forcibly assign the construction of Henglu Road to the three counties? ”

"This ......" can't be repaired even if it exhausts the people of the three counties.

"Alright, this matter will be put on hold for the time being." I stopped them from continuing to quibble, I wanted to disperse this small group first by catching the matter of Ji and Fox and Fake Huwei, worried that it would be unfavorable to Zhang Liang, so I would better wait for someone who is destined.

Gan Daiyi sent it very intimately: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach the Jiangnan Supervision Envoy and the Lujiang County Guard!" ”

I smiled slightly: "Speak." ”

"Jiangnan Supervision Envoy and Lujiang County Guard...... Your Majesty please investigate!" Gan Daiyi counted the two of them "embarrassed and colluded", which was almost the same as what Zhang Liang said.

My face turned cold, and I looked at the two of them and said, "Jihe, Zhang Liang, can there be such a thing?" ”

Before Zhang Liang could speak, Jihe took the initiative to ask for guilt, bowed down and said carefully: "Your Majesty, this is a momentary gaffe of the minister, and it has nothing to do with the supervision envoy, please ask Your Majesty to surrender!" ”

I said lightly: "Jihe, as well as Chu Liu and Wang Bo, the three of you only know small profits but don't know the great righteousness, and the millions of heads of the three counties are handed over to you, how can I rest assured?" ”

The three of them immediately bowed down and pleaded guilty: "The ministers are guilty!" ”

"Remembering that the three of you have been officials for many years and still have a good name, I will not pursue it, and in the future, you must obey the orders of the superintendents. As for Jihe, since you have taken the initiative to show it, you will be fined for three months. "This matter can be big or small, and the fine of March is a relatively light punishment.

Jihe hurriedly said: "Thank you, Your Majesty for forgiveness!" ”
