Chapter 1341: A Big Pit
"I used to think you were a monk, but now I realize that you are a sinister beast in a robe......"
"Tsk...... Some people look like people and are dirty behind their backs......"
Although the demon girl Ruonan let Zhu Ping'an go, she didn't give Zhu Ping'an a good face for several days, and she sneered or sneered from time to time.
After all, Zhu Ping'an was at fault first, and he was embarrassed every time......
Hua'er was upset with Zhu Ping'an again and again, and she didn't understand why the demon girl Ruonan slandered her aunt again and again......
On the second day, after performing various ceremonies, Zhu Ping'an officially took office and received a visit from the officials of the official office.
However, Zhu Ping'an is in charge of the military garrison, and he is destined not to stay in the official office for a long time, and he is even more rooted in the local area than Chu Xiong and his sub-patrol roads, so although these officials are respectful, they do not tend to be attached to Zhu Ping'an.
Of course, Zhu Ping'an is also happy to see this.
After officially taking office, Zhu Ping'an found that the position of being in charge of military equipment was a big pit, black and big, simply like the line in the love apartment: the money is not enough, the actors are undecided, and the script is not ......
Zhu Ping'an currently has only one edict specially issued by the imperial court to 'reorganize the army', and nothing else.
There are no centaurs. Although Zhu Ping'an has the right to command the army and lead all the militia in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the current situation is that there is no militia under the Procuratorial Department of Jiangsu and Zhejiang;
There is no money to eat. At present, Zhu Ping'an does not have a penny or a bucket of grain and grass, and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Judicial Departments currently do not have a budget for this aspect.
There are no camps.
No......
There is only Zhu Ping'an, a bare-bones commander, and nothing else. Zhu Ping'an's most important problem at present is to solve these problems.
On the third day, Zhu Ping'an went to visit Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai. Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, served as the governor of Caojiang and the left guard of the water army in the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army of Yingtian, and he was also in Yingtianfu.
Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, did not live in the Governor's Mansion, but rented a large mansion in Yingtian Mansion to live.
In fact, with the economic strength of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, it is not a matter of buying a house in Yingtianfu at all, but because of the strong anti-corruption policy of Emperor Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty regulations prohibit local officials from buying houses in the place where they are in office, and any official who dares to buy real estate in the place where he takes office will be punished with fifty lashes, dismissed from official positions, and all the purchased real estate will be confiscated. The law clearly stipulates: "No official shall buy a house in the place where he is appointed." Violators will be punished with fifty lashes, dismissed, and Tian Zhai will be an official. ”
It is precisely because of the constraints of the system that even Li Tingzhu, the Marquis of Linhuai, who is not bad for money, can only rent a house in Yingtianfu.
The capital does not count.
Zhu Ping'an often hears colleagues complain that this system is too strict, but Zhu Ping'an feels that this system is very ingenious. In modern times, Zhu Ping'an has seen too many corrupt officials who have been corrupted by bribery such as real estate. By giving officials houses or giving them big discounts when they buy houses, this disguised bribery method has corrupted many officials who are not firm in their positions. Although this ban of the Ming Dynasty could not stop corruption, it at least partially solved it.
In addition to prohibiting local officials from buying real estate in the territory, the Ming Dynasty also forbade the marriage of local women as wives and concubines. The law stipulates that any official who is close to the people in a prefecture or county and marries a woman as a wife and concubine during his term of office shall be given 80 rods. The woman and the officiant are guilty of the same crime, and the wife and concubine are still separated. Women give relatives, and financial gifts enter the official. This is to prevent the official from marrying a local woman, and the woman's family will benefit from the official's power, which in turn will lead to more serious family corruption.
Of course, no matter how good a policy is, it will always be exploited by people in various loopholes, but it is much better than no policy at all.
Zhu Ping'an brought a salute to the house where the Marquis of Linhuai lived and sent a salute.
"Fifth aunt, you're here! What else do you need to come there, just come with me directly. Hou Ye specially told me to come to the concierge yesterday to wait, because he was afraid that the door would not know you, and ordered that as soon as you came, he would invite you into the house immediately. Zhu Ping'an sent the post, and a voice of surprise came from the concierge.
Then, a somewhat familiar person came out of the gatehouse, who was Li Er, a little housekeeper in the Linhuai Marquis Mansion in the capital.
It turned out that the Marquis of Linhuai had learned the news that he had come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang yesterday to take up his post as a procurator, and knew that he would definitely come to visit, so he specially ordered Li Er, who knew him, to come to the concierge to sit in the town, and wait for him to come to the door to give convenience.
"Uncle Lao is worried, Steward Li has worked hard." Zhu Ping'an arched his hand and said.
"It's all a family, why should my uncle be polite. Uncle, please come in, I'll take you to see Master Hou. Li Er bent down and said.
The house rented by Li Tingzhu, Marquis of Linhuai, was originally a private garden, and was later converted into a residence. Although the courtyard area is smaller than that of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion in the capital, it also occupies a large area. The courtyard is exquisitely and gorgeously built, digging the ground for the pool, stacking stones for the mountain, between the mountains and rivers, like a fairy dwelling, and the living environment is much better than the building hall that Zhu Ping'an divided according to the procuratorate and the official office in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Zhu Ping'an was led into the mansion by Li Er, and on the way Li Er asked the maid in the house, and learned that the Marquis of Linhuai was taking the homework of the younger son in the study, so he led Zhu Ping'an straight to the study.
Take the schoolwork of the younger son?!
Could it be that Brother Rui, a bear child, also followed Linhuai Hou to Yingtianfu?! Zhu Ping'an heard this and guessed.
Zhu Ping'an and the others came to the study, and before they entered, they heard the angry voice of Li Tingzhu, the Marquis of Linhuai, the sound of the bamboo board beating meat, and the howl of the bear child Rui Ge'er killing a pig...... Hearing the bear child's characteristic howl, Zhu Ping'an knew that he had guessed correctly, and the bear child Rui Ge'er really came.
However, is it more important to take the coursework? Why is the corporal punishment up?! How did the bear kid provoke him again......
"Master Hou, the fifth aunt is here." Li Er seemed to be used to this scene, and stepped forward to knock on the door.
"Zihou is here, please come in."
After Li Tingzhu, the Marquis of Linhuai, heard the announcement, he dragged his fat body out, and he was still holding a rattan in his hand, which he had just used to teach the bear child, and he had not had time to throw it away.
"Peace to my uncle." Zhu Ping'an bowed his hand.
"It's all a family, why do you need all this red tape, please come in quickly." Linhuai Marquis Li Tingzhu patted Zhu Ping'an's shoulder with his fat hand and invited Zhu Ping'an into the study.
Entering the study, Zhu Ping'an really saw the bear child Brother Rui, at this moment the bear child had a handful of tears, a handful of snot, and his shoulders were twitching, and the two tears on a little fat face were particularly joyful, with an expression of both grievance and dissatisfaction on his face, and the two fat hands rubbed desperately, and the red marks on the palms were vaguely visible...... It seems that Brother Rui, the bear child, was just slapped in the palm of his hand with a rattan by Linhuai Hou.
