Chapter 9: Raiding the House

Zhang Yong snorted and immediately went down to arrange for Xuanyi Wei to spy on the news. Qin Ming, on the other hand, turned to look at the little eunuch and said, "From today onwards, you are the new eunuch of Bingbi, what's your name?" ”

The little eunuch couldn't believe it, and then hurriedly knelt down to thank him: "Thank you, Your Highness, Longen, the slave maid is willing to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire for Your Highness." ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the slave maid has no name, just a micro-eunuch, and when he was sent to the palace, he only knew his surname Wei." The little eunuch couldn't stop kowtowing, with tears in his eyes.

"The surname is Wei, then the palace will give you one, let's call it Zhongxian." Qin Ming thought about it for a long time, but still felt that this name was suitable for eunuchs.

"Your Highness Xie gave me the name, the slave must be worthy of this name!" Wei Zhongxian was very excited, starting today, he would soar into the sky!

"Okay, let's go around the six parts of the palace today." Qin Ming waved his hand to let him get up, and all the twists and turns were approved by the two dog prime ministers, and he was not in the mood to let him look at the side again, so he simply went to the sixth department to take a look around and see if there were any thorns to clean up.

Although the offices of the six ministries are located in the capital, they have a unified residence outside the Weiyang Palace, and each ministry will usually send people to stay on duty in case the emperor has any emergencies and cannot find anyone.

And Qin Ming walked out of Weiyang Palace, and as soon as he walked outside the Sixth Duty Office, he heard a lot of noise inside, as if he was about to fight.

Qin Ming listened for a while, as if it was about the problem of controlling the river waterlogging.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!" Wei Zhongxian saw that Qin Ming was about to push the door, and shouted at the top of his voice.

When the people inside saw Qin Ming pushing the door, they all bowed their heads and bowed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Chitose Chitose, Chitose!" ”

After Qin Ming gestured to calm down, he asked, "What were you arguing about before?" ”

Everyone was silent and refused to speak, only a bearded and black-faced man in the innermost part spoke: "Back to Your Highness, they were arguing with their ministers about how to deal with the flooding in the south. ”

"Oh?" Qin Ming's heart was overjoyed, this is a pillow that he wants to sleep?

"How do you say it's going to be governed?"

"Your Royal Highness, according to the minister's view, it is better to block than to sparse, there are many rivers and rivers in the south, there are many water branches, block one place, then silt into a lake, high on the ground, once the embankment breaks, it will carry an unstoppable momentum, wash the people's land, sweep thousands of miles, if you want to reduce the waterlogging, you need to turn the blockage into sparseness, gather thousands of turbulent flows in a river, so that the waterlogging can be returned to the sea, in order to save the people from fire and water." Although the black-faced man didn't like it, what he said was very reasonable.

"Why are you arguing?" Qin Ming asked.

"This group of scholars who can only talk on paper, not to say that the law of blocking and governing is passed down from generation to generation, and cannot be changed without authorization, I have been governing the river in the south for seven years, and I know that the south is now waterlogged, which is caused by the blockage of the river on behalf of the generation, if you still want to control the river, you must dredge the river!" The black-faced man actually scolded directly, "If the south is blocked a few more times, there will be a great flood that has not been encountered in a century!" ”

"Who is on duty today in the Ministry of Works?" Qin Ming glanced at it.

"Back to His Royal Highness, the minister is Pan Bing, the director of the Ministry of Water of the Ministry of Industry." A thin scholar stood up and bowed.

Under the Ministry of Industry, there are four divisions of the Ministry of Labor, the Tuntian Division, the Yu Division, and the Ministry of Water, and this Ministry of Water is exactly the corresponding water conservancy construction.

He ...... What is your name? ”

"Back to His Royal Highness, the minister is Xu Zhenzhi, the capital of the Ministry of Industry, who once served as the county commander of Fengqi County, Xiangxi." Xu Zhenzhi replied.

"What Xu Zhenzhi said makes sense?" Qin Ming nodded and asked Pan Bing.

"The minister thinks that it makes sense, but the river has been blocked for a long time, and the river sand has been silted, even if the river is dredged, it is difficult to solve the siltation for a while. Pan Bing said slowly, but he was extremely confident in his words, "Chen has observed many times to open the sluice gate and release water, and created his own method, called 'Binding Water and Flushing Sand', which can quickly clean up the silt and sediment at the bottom of the river. ”

Boy! Is this buy one get one free?

Qin Ming was calm on the surface, and he was about to laugh from ear to ear in his heart, with these two people, he thought that the flood in the south should be captured.

Is this a starter package?

"If you two are sent to the south to control the river and calm the flood, how long will it take, and how much silver?" Qin Ming asked directly.

"Five years, half a million silver." Xu Zhenzhi hesitated for a moment and spoke.

Qin Ming shook his head: "The two of you cooperate to control the water, and this palace can't wait for five years." ”

"Three years!" Pan Bing said categorically, "It only takes three years, one million taels of silver, and it can ensure that there will be no major floods in the south within fifty years!" ”

"Good!" Qin Ming nodded, "The palace issued an order today, and tomorrow the household department will allocate funds to set off within five days, and the south is flooded, so you are not allowed to return to Beijing!" ”

"Minister, obey!" The two glanced at each other, knowing that this was the opportunity to leave their names in history, and bowed deeply.

……

The noon dynasty arrived soon, but before everyone went to the court, they found that the gate of Weiyang Palace was locked, Zhang Yong stood outside the door and explained to the hundred officials: "His Royal Highness the prince has a decree, today the noon dynasty is temporarily closed, please go back!" ”

Just when everyone thought that Qin Ming had restored the original waste prince, they were talking about it.

In the imperial study room in Weiyang Palace, secret letters are being sent to Qin Ming's desk.

Qin Ming opened the seals one by one, and every time he looked at one, his face became more and more gloomy.

saw that in the end, he sneered directly.

"Chen Youliang, the secretary of the ministry, donated 3,000 taels of silver, 30 million yuan of family property, more than a dozen mansions, and 1,000 acres of land."

Guan refers to copper coins, and the consistent money is one hundred copper coins, and ten guan coins are one tael.

"The servant of the Ministry of Zuo Jixian, donated 2,000 taels of silver, 50 million yuan of family property, 34 mansions, and 10,000 acres of land."

"Xu Deren, the head of the household, donated 5,000 taels of silver, and his family property was huge, but he couldn't count it completely for a while, and there were countless mansion properties."

"Tobe Samurai ......"

"The ...... of the Military Department"

"The ...... of the Squire of the Soldier's Department"

"Ministry of Industry Shangshu ......"

After Qin Ming read these secret letters one by one, Zhang Yong on the side also added fuel and vinegar and said: "Your Highness, these are just the assets that can be counted on the surface. ”

"What do you mean?" Qin Ming asked coldly?

"Back to Your Highness, these ministers still have literary and antiques, jewelry and jade, poetry collections, calligraphy and paintings, and their families also have a lot of property in their names, which have not yet been counted." Zhang Yong said respectfully.

Qin Ming snorted coldly, and then actually laughed.

Just when Zhang Yong thought that the prince was angry, Qin Ming stopped and threw all the secret letters into the fire.

Zhang Yong was stunned for a while, and thought, why do you want Xuanyiwei to investigate?

Qin Ming asked Zhang Yongdao: "Can this palace mobilize the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Xuanjia Army now?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, Your Highness is currently acting as the supervisor of the country, so it is naturally possible." Zhang Yong replied.

"Point 300 Xuanjia Army, 1,000 Inner City Forbidden Army." Qin Ming said.

"Your Highness, what is this for?"

"Raid the house!"
