Chapter 797: Isn't It Just Spending Money!
"Lord Ru, take the order!"
His hands trembled, cold sweat flowed down his sideburns, and he trembled and took the holy decree...... Suddenly, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted, and at this time, he was transferred to the capital, and what the result was, there is no need to say much.
Transferring to the air, investigating and questioning the guilt, this is Zhu Di's usual measure, this is how he won Yu Xin at the beginning, and now it has fallen on his head.
He had already foreseen his fate, and he was slumped on the ground, unable to say a word, as if he was in a mess.
Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly, thinking that he had a lot of ability! I didn't expect to be a coward too!
"Luo Shangshu, without further ado, you better hurry up and deliver, get ready to go on the road!" Zhu Gaosui has long seen him unpleasantly, and he dares to provoke the relationship between our brothers, this time I will let you know that it is amazing! On the road, it's almost the same on Huangquan Road!
Suddenly, he raised his head, knelt down and climbed two steps, stretched out his big hand, and grabbed Zhu Gaosui's legs at once, vividly staging what is called hugging his thighs.
"His Royal Highness King Zhao, Your Highness!"
Yu Yu begged loudly, "The lower official has an inside story, the lower official, the lower official is willing to sweep away the evil for His Royal Highness King Zhao, and ask His Royal Highness to give the lower official a chance to make meritorious contributions." ”
"Do you want to make meritorious deeds?" Zhu Gaosui said quietly.
"That's right!" He grabbed the life-saving straw, he kept kowtowing and begging, "Your Highness, Xia Guan has been in Yingtian for a long time, and he knows a lot about this explosion and those newspapers, and Xia Guan is willing to tell His Highness all the people behind them, so that His Highness will be much easier to handle the case." ”
"Really?" Zhu Gaosui was surprised: "You know everything? ”
"Yes, the lower official knows a lot, and the lower official can help His Highness!"
Zhu Gaosui nodded with a smile, suddenly turned his face, and said to Xia Yuanji: "Lord Xia, have you heard everything?" ”
Xia Yuanji stiffened his face and said in a deep voice: "I can hear it clearly!" ”
"Okay, then ask Lord Xia to write a joint letter with me, and let my father cure this person for the crime of dereliction of duty and connivance!"
"Ahh
He was so frightened that he sat on the ground, his face full of incredulity.
Zhu Gaosui laughed, "Surprised, right? And this king is still wondering how to condemn you? I didn't expect to confess, but it saved the king trouble. Come! ”
Jinyi Wei immediately poured in, and Zhu Gaosui pointed at him, "Take him down for me and send him to the capital immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
While speaking, he was arrested and escorted away directly, a second-grade officer, and it was over.
He struggled desperately, pulling his neck and shouting.
"Your Highness, the old minister is wronged, the old minister has a hard time, Your Highness, give the old minister a chance to make meritorious contributions, if you can't even tolerate the old minister, the officials in Jiangnan can be killed!" No one is clean! Nope! ”
Yu Yu yelled frantically, Zhu Gaosui gritted his teeth, "Don't plug his mouth yet!" ”
Jinyiwei obeyed the order and took the boy away...... After a while, Zhu Gaosui calmed down and said to Xia Yuanji: "What he said is true?" ”
Xia Yuanji's expression was solemn and he sighed slightly.
"I'm afraid it's only going to get worse."
Zhu Gaosui's heart thumped and became serious.
"How so?"
Xia Yuanji said helplessly: "The court is weak, and it is inevitable that there will be trouble!" ”
"The court is weak?"
Zhu Gaosui seemed to have heard the funniest joke.
Was the Ming Dynasty weak?
Emperor Hongwu ruled with iron blood, ruled for 30 years, killed meritorious generals, local officials of the imperial court, more than 100,000 people! Have you ever been soft?
It is difficult for Zhu Dijing to come, he governs the country strongly, and strictly changes the law, when was he cowardly?
What's more, the master assists the government and the general consul of hundreds of officials, is he weak?
Since no one is weak, how can Xia Yuanji say that the court is weak? Could it be that Natsuhara is lying?
Looking at the old gentleman's solemn expression and frowning brows, it is obvious that he is not out of nowhere, so where is the weakness?
Zhu Gaosui groaned puzzled.
Xia Yuanji didn't say much, but changed his words, "His Royal Highness King Zhao, what do you think you are going to do next?" ”
"Of course, it is to announce the truth of the case, and I want to give the second brother justice."
Xia Yuanji nodded, "Then what is Your Highness going to do?" ”
"Of course, it is to send all the yamen to Ming, let them post notices, and tell the people."
Xia Yuanji smiled nonchalantly, "Your Highness, do you think this is enough?" ”
Is it enough?
Zhu Gaosui was secretly surprised, hasn't the imperial court done this all along, is there anything wrong?
Xia Yuanji said: "Then follow His Highness's instructions and let them arrange it!" ”
Soon, the case of the explosion of the gunpowder warehouse was distributed to the various state capitals and county governments, and all localities also posted notices at the city gates, and even arranged for the officials to read to the common people below to let them understand the situation.
Zhu Gaosui also personally went to the homes of the dead and wounded to inquire about the situation, and this time the number of dead was 37 and more than 150 were injured.
Depending on the situation, it can be divided into minor injuries and serious injuries...... Zhu Gaosui personally bereaved the pension, and the lightly injured were mainly treated and given financial compensation.
In addition to the money for medical treatment, the seriously injured also have to consider the livelihood of the family, and as for the deceased, it is compensated according to three times.
Every household, Zhu Gaosui is doing it himself, and by the time he finishes running, his two legs have been broken.
"Second brother, second brother, for you, the younger brother has suffered...... See if you're embarrassed to beat me in the future? ”
After Zhu Gaosui sighed, he snorted angrily: "How did the Chen family handle it?" I can't pay for nothing, but in the end, I have to pay for it. ”
Li Xian grinned, "Senior brother, I think it's not that simple!" ”
Zhu Gaosui was taken aback, "What else is going on?" ”
"Can you look at this?"
Zhu Gaosui took a piece of newspaper, which read: "Heavenly grass cares about people's lives, and a hundred taels of silver are sealed!" ”
What the?
Zhu Gaosui was so angry that he suddenly stood up, "Which newspaper is this?" Why didn't it be sealed? He yelled at Li Xian, "What the hell are you eating?" ”
Li Xian was also aggrieved, "Senior brother, it's not that I don't want to seal it!" But I can close the newspaper on the surface, but I can't close the tabloid in the dark...... There are so many of these things, if you don't believe it, you can go down and take a look. ”
Zhu Gaosui was completely shocked.
He decided to go down and take a look, and he went directly to Zhenjiang Mansion, which was closest to Yingtian, to see the situation. As soon as he arrived at the city gate, he found that the notice he had asked to post was quite conspicuous, but when he looked at it again, his nose suddenly turned crooked, and there were several notices next to this notice.
Among them, there are those who say that the court cares about people's lives.
Who is so bold as to dare to post this?
This is gossip-mongering!
Zhu Gaosui found that there were really a lot of people watching it again, so he casually said to an old man: "Old man, what do you think is going on?" ”
The old man saw that Zhu Gaosui was dressed in silk and was quite luxurious, so he said casually: "You are a businessman, right?" ”
"How does my husband know?"
The old man smiled and said, "Not all the rich people are in business these days, but then again, you are not very shrewd as a businessman...... I can't understand this, the court is deceiving! ”
"The court liars?"
"That's not it, over the years, when has the imperial court done good things? This time, if you kill someone, you can give some compensation, which is not bad, unlike in the past, when you killed someone, you didn't even have an explanation. The old man laughed at himself: "That's it, don't you dream if you expect the court to have a conscience?" ”
Zhu Gaosui's nose is crooked, how can this old thing talk nonsense?
Over the years, the court has done less good things?
Juntian, revitalizing education, reforming finance and taxation, which is not a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people? How did it get into the mouths of the common people, and it turned out to be a matter of careless human life?
Isn't this nonsense?
Why is there no one to take care of it?
He was still not convinced, and asked several people in a row, and found that they were basically the same arguments. No one believed the notice posted by the imperial court.
On the contrary, it is a tabloid newspaper everywhere, all kinds of strange news, full of people, but there is still a group of people, spreading everywhere, saying that the court is useless.
Zhu Gaosui was furious, are the local yamen all brain-dead? Sitting idly by? He was so angry that he immediately asked people to find the prefect of Zhenjiang and the county of Dantu.
"You all take the things that this king has explained, right? Someone openly posted notices to slander the court, and you don't know what to do? There are so many people who spread gossip on the market, and you don't arrest them, so what's the use of the court asking you? ”
The two officials trembled and cried profusely.
"The prince is angry, the prince is angry, he is guilty of humiliation, and he deserves death, so he will go in person."
Zhu Gaosui snorted coldly: "I only think about it now, it's too late!" Take them both down for me! ”
Zhu Gaosui was furious, and immediately asked people to arrest the two, these two officials called a grievance, "The prince spares his life, the prince, we have grievances!" It's not that we don't want to do it, but we can't do anything about it! ”
"Fart! As a parent official, you can't do anything, so don't be this official! ”
Zhu Gaosui ordered the yamen to be sealed and put the two people in prison.
After doing this, he asked people to transfer the files of the prefecture and county to see how they did things. Especially to see, how much money was greedy for the yamen?
Otherwise, how could you not even do such a little thing?
It just doesn't make sense!
When the file was taken out, Zhu Gaosui was also a little dumbfounded...... How so?
There are more than 58,000 registered people in Zhenjiang Prefecture, with a population of more than 160,000, and the annual tax expenditure available to the government is only more than 13,000 taels, and Dantu County is even more pitiful, only a little more than 4,000 taels.
What can four thousand taels do?
Looks like nothing can be done.
Except for the most basic things such as the distribution of salaries by the servants of the yamen, the ushering in the send-off, and the maintenance of the roads and cities, nothing else can be done.
If it encounters a few years, it is necessary to request appropriations from the imperial court to maintain it.
Zhu Gaosui was shocked by this result.
"Lord Wang, this is the reason why the old man said that the court is weak." Xia Yuanji sighed: "Taifu is reforming the official system in the court, in fact, the old man wants to say that the official position in this place should be reformed, there is no money below, no one, and nothing can be done." Local officials were subject to merchants, and it was difficult to implement imperial decrees...... Shang Jia did whatever he wanted and splashed dirty water on the head of King Han, so there was nothing surprising to come. ”
Zhu Gaosui gritted his teeth, "Lord Xia, you immediately go to the book and report this matter to your father...... As for this king, I have other plans! ”
Zhu Gaosui was ruthless, he couldn't control how the official system was reformed, but businessmen had money, and he was also rich...... Businessmen can control newspapers, influence public opinion, and make waves...... He can do these things, and he can do them better!
Isn't it just spending money?
Does Lao Tzu care?
"Li Xian, how much can you give?"
"I, I'm out of 500,000? What do you think? Li Xian gritted his back molars and said like cutting meat......
Zhu Gaosui snorted and said disdainfully: "I know that you are not generous, but it doesn't matter, you pay 500,000, I pay 5 million...... I want to immediately have our newspapers in all the state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River, and we can publish our newspapers together, can you do it? ”
Li Xian was taken aback, "This, isn't this just spending money?" At present, although the newspapers in Jiangnan are also connected, they basically focus on one city, and there is no way, and it is too difficult and too high to spread the news in a timely manner! ”
"High? What is this? The last thing this king is afraid of is spending money! Zhu Gaosui sneered: "For the time being, use the eight hundred miles to expedite and give me orders to various places." After a few days, maybe we will let the second brother come over and prepare for the construction of the railway, and at that time, we will not be afraid of anything! ”
When Li Xian heard this, there was only one thought left, this guy is crazy, he wants to build a railway for the newspaper, are you too much money and burned your head!
