"Taifu is really looking up to him, my generation is really out of reach!"

After talking to Liu Chun, Yang Shiqi sighed from the bottom of his heart...... The rest of the people had strange faces, and I have to say that Liu Chun opened the door to a new world for them, let them understand the true meaning of diplomacy, and the whole person was sublimated.

The Japanese state was going to attack North Korea, and North Korea asked the Ming for help...... Should Daming be rescued?

It's a fool to do something for others!

Hurry up and send people to the Wa Kingdom and tell them that as long as they accept the trade initiative of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty will remain neutral and will not intervene in the battle between the two countries...... Judging from the current situation, it is estimated that the Japanese state will be able to beat the DPRK very badly, very miserably...... At this time, Daming can sell weapons to North Korea and make a profit first. When North Korea really can't bear it, it will dispatch sailors to seize Tsushima Island and cut off the back road of the Japanese state.

Let's fight, when they fight to exhaustion, to the exhaustion of mountains and rivers, and the sea to rot, then it is time to surrender to the Ming Dynasty, whether to divide it to the vassal king, or directly merge into the Ming Dynasty, it all depends on the mood of the imperial court.

"Interests, the interests of the Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Shiqi issued the most sincere cry to his colleagues in the Ministry of Rites, all officials of the Ministry of Rites, in foreign affairs, there is only one criterion, that is, the national interests of the Ming Dynasty, apart from this, there is nothing else!

Moreover, Yang Shiqi also hung the word "interest" in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, and all officials, every day on duty, must first stare at a cup of tea.

……

"Hahahaha!"

Zhu Di couldn't help but dance with his eyebrows, "Liu Chun, this Yang Shiqi is considered enlightened, it seems that this cabinet belongs to him." Zhu Di smiled and said: "Liu Chun, you are really not interested, in fact, in my opinion, you are still the most suitable prime minister." ”

"Don't!"

Liu Chun waved his hand, "The minister is now obsessed with education, he has no time to take care of him, and there are too many things to deal with, the minister doesn't want to be tied to Wenyuan Pavilion." ”

Zhu Di snorted, "Lazy!" You should be as diligent as I am! ”

Liu Chun grinned bitterly, "Your Majesty, if the ministers are the same as Your Majesty, the hundred officials will have no way to live." ”

Zhu Di rolled his eyes angrily, am I so mean?

There was no way, he had to nod and agree, Liu Chun quickly submitted the first official reform, and Zhu Di approved it on the same day.

Yang Shiqi was promoted to the rank of Scholar of the Imperial Palace, with the rank of junior teacher, and the first assistant of the cabinet. Hu Guang was promoted to the rank of Scholar of Wu Yingdian University, and was added to the rank of junior and secondary...... The rest of Yang Pu, Yang Rong, Huang Huai, and Jin Youzi were all awarded the title of Dongge University Scholar and the title of Prince and Prince, and six people were responsible for the operation of the cabinet, assisting the Son of Heaven, and implementing government affairs.

After this will, the cabinet suddenly jumped from a secretarial institution to the largest yamen in the world.

Six members from the first grade, this is not available in any yamen, even the officials can't be compared with it.

Although Zhu Di did not give the golden seal together, the status of the cabinet is no longer the same. A group of small things with only five grades climbed on their heads overnight, which is unbearable!

There was a strange atmosphere throughout the capital.

The first to break the silence was actually Xie Jin, this former cabinet member, seeing these six goods climbed on his head, how could he not be angry, Lao Tzu sold his soul, Annan worked hard for several years in exchange for today, why are you higher than Lao Tzu?

"Taifu, the lower officials are not unconvinced, but they feel that these six people are not worthy of virtue, why are they above the hundred officials? Doesn't this chill the hearts of the meritorious people? ”

Liu Chun rolled his eyelids, "Xie Jin, it's better to say it directly if you have something to say, after all, my time is limited, if I just complain, then I'm sorry, I can't care!" ”

Xie Jin took a deep breath and gritted his teeth, "Okay, Taifu, I didn't want to talk about this, but I can't stop talking about it...... Hu Guang, that is, the second assistant Hu Guang, he is guilty! ”

Liu Chun was stunned, "If I'm not mistaken, Hu Guang is your fellow countryman or relative!" You are going to kill your relatives in righteousness! ”

"That's right! I just want to kill my relatives with righteousness. Xie Jin gritted his back molars, his eyes were red, Hu Guang did the same back then, he was lucky not to die, this year is just a good time to take a look, to see if Hu Guang has the ability to escape death......

"Taifu, I am in charge of the household department, and recently reviewed the land acquisition expenses along the canal, and I found that the amount was much larger than expected, and someone overreported the amount of acres."

When Liu Chun heard this, he also cheered up, "Is there really such a thing?" ”

"That's right!"

Xie Jin said: "The imperial court poured everything it had, built the railway, and every penny should be used on the blade, but the land requisition money was more than 3 million yuan higher than our initial estimate, of which Huai'an alone was 1.7 million taels more...... Taifu, this matter can't be left unchecked! ”

Liu Chun groaned: "Of course, the investigation is to investigate, but how did you bite Hu Guang?" Is he really involved? ”

"That's nature." Xie Jin raised his eyebrows and sneered: "After Hu Guang was admitted to the Jinshi examination, because of his good looks, he was favored by a salt merchant and married his daughter to him. The surname Hu actually concealed that he already had a wife, which is really not a son of man! ”

"Wait!"

Liu Chun stopped Xie Jin, "I said Xie Jin, are you going to tell Hu Guang to stop his wife and marry again?" ”

"No, no, no!"

Xie Jin hurriedly waved his hand, "His original wife married and died in five years, after he was admitted to the Jinshi, he turned out to be the daughter of a wealthy businessman, young and beautiful, and he is like glue, do you say that there is still a royal law?" Is there any reason for this? ＂

Xie Jin was indignant, Liu Chun looked at him short and dark, and his appearance was not good, and the resentment of daring to love had long existed in his stomach.

"So, is it Hu Guang's father-in-law's family who raised the price of land and blackmailed the imperial court?"

"Hmm!" Xie Jin nodded, "I still have a copy of the ticket here, which is written by Hu Guang, he told the local yamen to take care of the people more, and never let the people suffer, showing that he is favoring his father-in-law's family." Goods like this, as a second assistant, I don't know how much money I have in the future, and it will fall into their pockets, I will report this person to Jinyiwei now, and I implore Taifu to investigate thoroughly! ”

Liu Chun nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange for someone to go down, you go back and wait!" ”

Liu Chun sent Xie Jin away, and before he could send someone down, Hu Guang actually came to ask for a meeting.

As soon as they met, Hu Guang told Liu Chun that he wanted to raise the problem of the household department.

It's funny, these two are hurting each other.

"Master Hu, just say it!"

"Taifu, I just got the news from my father-in-law's house that someone deliberately raised the price of the land......"

"Wait!" Liu Chun stopped him, "Who is your father-in-law?" Can you tell me about it? ”

Hu Guang did not hesitate, "My father-in-law is a salt merchant, and his family is quite wealthy, but don't worry, I have never taken a penny from my father-in-law's family." Clumsy Jing is also an honest person. She deposited her dowry in the bank, and we lived on interest and money every year, which was enough...... Speaking of which, when I agreed to marry her, it was still for the sake of liberation! ”

The more Liu Chun listened, the more confused he became, "Xie Jin? What does it have to do with him? ”

"Alas!" Hu Guang sighed, "Back then, when the puppet emperor was in power, after I became a jinshi, I tried my best to help Xie Jin regain his official position, take the relationship, and get through the door, which cost a lot of money." But I was a poor scholar at the time, so where could I get it? I had no choice but to agree to the family affair, and take out some money from the clumsy marriage to help the surname Jie. ”

Hu Guang raised his head and was heartbroken, "I was still too young at the time, I only knew that Xie Jin's literary talents were famous and should not be buried." But where did I think that this guy has a bad character and is a complete bastard! I knew that I would buy a packet of arsenic and poison him, and I would save Shilin from being embarrassed! A hundred years later, if I mention it and say that I have relatives with him, it will be shameless! ”

After listening to Hu Guang's narration, four words came to Liu Chun's mind: "Love and kill each other".

Getting this step is considered superb.

"Please go back and wait for news, I've already asked Jinyiwei to go down and check."

Ten days later, Liu Chun had an extra secret report in his hand.

When Liu Chun saw it, he was immediately furious, what a big dog!

He immediately entered the palace, and when he passed by Wenyuan Pavilion, he called both the cabinet and the household department...... Xie Jin and Hu Guang are here, you are staring at me, I am staring at you, and they are secretly sneering in their hearts, look, let Liu Chun target him, just wait for bad luck!

"Your Majesty, this time when we set the land acquisition standards, we will pay a premium of 30% and resettle nearby...... In order to take care of the people, the market price is used. ”

Zhu Di nodded, "That's right, this plan was drafted by Hu Guang, and I personally approved it, could it be that there is a problem?" ”

"Yes!"

Liu Chun said: "When the officials in Huai'an and other places were expropriating land, each mu of land was as high as one hundred and fifty taels, and the shops in the city were three thousand taels!" ”

"What?"

Zhu Di stood up suddenly, "The land in Huai'an is four times more expensive than Jiangnan?" The shops in the city are actually more expensive than in the capital? What is the rationale for this? ”

"Your Majesty, someone learned about the news of land requisition in advance, and then bought and sold intensively, and in a short period of time, the land price was increased by as much as ten times! Originally, after the abolition of Caoyun, the land price along the canal dropped very much, but after such a toss, the land price was more than twice as high as when Caoyun was at its most prosperous...... The imperial court paid an extra 1.7 million taels for land requisition, and the local expenditure was also more than 1.1 million taels, with a total loss of nearly 3 million taels! ”

After Liu Chun finished speaking, Zhu Di's face had turned the color of pig liver, "What a big dog gall!" Check it out for me, check it out now! Who did it, you must not let it go! ”

Before the words fell, Hu Guang and Xie Jin knelt down almost at the same time, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to say!" ”

Zhu Di looked at the two of them, "Hu Guangxian said. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty, the minister impeached the household department, verified the unfavorable, wasted the state treasury and people's money, and the crime is unforgivable! ”

Xie Jin's eyes were red, "Your Majesty, Hu Guang is framing the minister, as far as the minister knows, Hu Guang's father-in-law is a salt merchant in Huai'an, he must have participated in the price gouging, Hu Guang is in the cabinet, colluded with businessmen, leaked the news, he did it!" ”

"Xie Jin, you're talking nonsense!"

"Then why did your father-in-law marry his daughter to you? Say! ”

"Hahaha! Look good without him! ”
