Chapter 521: Getting Rich Again

Chen Li took the zhangshi, do not dare to be slow, fire speed into the palace audience.

And at this time, inside the Forbidden City.

Zhu Di, however, remained seated, and he looked at the hundred officials in the hall with a smile on his face.

At this time, Zhu Di, as if perched on top of the hundred officials of the tiger, his tiger eyes, eyes like a sword, whether in the heart of the ghost, can not help but tremble for it.

And at this time, Jin Youzi, with an apologetic expression, saluted and said, “Your Majesty, my wife’s brother, Liu Jin, is guilty of unpardonable sins, this is all due to my improper discipline, really deserves to die, and I implore Your Majesty to chastise him.”

One can’t help but feel the irony in everything Kim Youzi says.

Zhu Di is ambiguous smile, only to say: “the Secretary’s report, there is a brocade guard to verify the crime, even if the Secretary’s wife and brother guilty, but also with the Secretary’s family has nothing to do with the Secretary’s family, the Secretary’s family do not have to worry about.”

At this time, a eunuch came hurriedly and said, “Your Majesty, Chen Li, the Commander of the Brocade Guards, seeks an audience.”

Hundred officials in the temple, at this time the heart has long been turning over.

In fact, they are already very clear in their hearts, all …… this is obviously premeditated.

It’s up to which one is stupid enough to be trolled by Zhu and Jin Youzi.

Unfortunately, this one was indeed a sought-after opportunity for many, and even the most normally stable of people could not resist the urge.

After all, …… the hundred officials are afraid of Zhu Di, but it does not mean that they are afraid of that Zhu Gaoqi who has a mild temperament.

But today ……

Zhu Di said, “Declare.”

Not long, Chen Li entered the hall with a quick step, saluted and said, “Your Majesty, I was ordered by Your Majesty to catch the rebels, and now …… have already seen results, this is the confession I took from the mouth of the rebels, but also ask Your Majesty to take a look at it …… ”

Zhu Di’s gaze skimmed over the faces of many ministers who flashed with panic before he said, “Fetch it up.”

Chen Li delivered the sangha to Yiluoha.

Yiluoha was busy presenting the report.

Zhu Di glanced at the zheng report and was quickly attracted to it, he subconsciously said, “Selling officials?”

The four words “selling officials and titles” have already made the hundred officials can not help but have two strands of war and cold sweat.

Many began to look away, as if to observe the reactions of others.

Obviously …… there are only a lot of people involved in …… this hall.

Zhu Di hooked his lips and sneered, “A county magistrate of Zhili can sell 90,000 taels? What a great deal!”

Zhu Di at this time, the face actually can not see anger, so much so that …… or …… at least in Zhang Anshi’s view, this His Majesty …… how to feel as if it is in the great cry for joy ……

“Ninety thousand taels ah …… a magistrate ……”

In the past, it’s not like the Brocade Guards haven’t looked into this kind of situation, but ninety thousand taels for a county magistrate is obviously impossible.

After all, to be able to serve as a county magistrate, you must at least have the merit of being a lifer.

The lifts in the world are so many, and the people …… who are willing to buy are so many people, and the people who buy are scarce, and they can give two or three thousand taels, and it is already considered a big case.

Don’t underestimate two or three thousand taels of silver, even so, this is a huge fortune. Enough for a solid family to live a lifetime without worrying about food and drink.

Zhu Di said with a few hints of mockery, “It seems that we …… Daming …… have a lot of people with silver.”

Zhang Anshi also can not help but fight the spirit, can not help but say: “Your Majesty, will there be a possibility, that is …… the county of Zhili, the annual annual income is more than ten years ago, or tens of hundreds of times the other counties in the world, because of this … . in the eyes of some people, then feel that the oil and water …… of it is rich, do not look at the cost of ninety thousand taels, but if it is in office for a few years, surely you can recover it with interest.”

Zhu Di opened his eyes slightly and said, “Is that so? The oil and water is this rich? This is something I didn’t expect.”

Zhu said, and looked down for a moment, and then said, “This Taiping Prefectural Prefect and young Yin also dared to sell, as well as the ambassador of the Department of Railways, the deputy envoy …… even have the posts of the official school academy enrollment ……”

Now, Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.

Yang Rong couldn’t help but secretly shake his head.

Even Hu Guang was a bit tense.

Zhu continued, “This up and down, involving so many people …… not only that …… there are among them and these sellers of government colluded with the person … …Liu Jin …… Jin Qingjia …… Liu Jin is your wife’s brother.”

Jin Youzi said painfully, “Exactly.”

Zhu Di said: “He even officials are also sold …… packaged three hundred civilian and two hundred military officials and fifty books and posts, together for the price, packaged to a person, teaching him to sell, but also really sold out, get silver one hundred thousand two …… ”

Kim Youzi: “……”

Jin Youzi has thought of all kinds of possibilities, but never thought that it can be heartless to such an extent.

Even a moment can not help but jaw-dropping for it, the heart can not help but also jump up.

Zhang Anshi also became more and more alarmed the more he listened, his complexion changed, and finally he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.

Zhu Di looked up at Zhang Anshi and said, “What is Zhang Qing sighing for?”

Zhang Anshi said, “Your Majesty …… may …… possibly this has something to do with Qixia as well.”

Zhu was perplexed, so he said, “What does it matter?”

Zhang Anshi said: “Qixia so far, a variety of business models, but also in the gradual improvement of many of the business skills, but also more like hair, these means, used in the right way, naturally can benefit a party, but if these means to teach some of the traitors to learn to go, but also can push the boundaries of new things, such as this and other packaged franchises for sale… …It may …… be that it is inspired from the business theory of Qixia.”

Zhu Di seems to have awakened, look carefully at the head of the many varied means, this kind of sale of the means of selling the title, is really unprecedented in the history of the scripture, how to attract more buyers, how to expand the ‘consumer group’, and then how to sell out a variety of lucrative titles as well as posts, the head of the arrangement of the clear, clear.

Zhu Di couldn’t help but sigh with emotion, “If the Eastern Han Lingdi and Hengdi learned these, how can they get more than just that bit of money and grain? Just …… my Daming selling officials and selling titles …… is a capital offense, these people …… are really hateful.”

Jin Youzi bowed again, “I will die.”

Zhu Di said: “involved in this matter, regardless of the sale of people, all killed, in order to serve as a warning to others! The gold and silver involved, all confiscated …… Chen Qingjia …… these gold and silver confiscated how?”

Chen Li immediately said, “Your Majesty, the accounts are already there, people also largely have been taken, think these can not run away. There are just a lot of …… because of the short time, just the intention, it is rumored that there are a lot of silver has not been paid …… this ……”

Zhu Di nodded: “I don’t care about this, how much silver does the account say is how much silver …… can’t be searched and seized, then it will be tortured out. This is more than eight million taels of grain silver, enough to repair several railroads.”

Chen Li said, “I will obey the decree.”

The hundred officials, regardless of what was in their hearts, were unanimously silent.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, could not help but mourn for it.

What does this amount to?

It is the same as …… Zhu Di followed the example of Han Lingdi, selling officials and selling titles, and selling many of the imperial court s ouselves, all over again.

Of course, better than Han Lingdi is that Han Lingdi is actually sold the official. But Zhu Di is in the name of righteousness, directly took the silver, but not one ouzo.

Pity those who jumped up and down, in order to sell the government, digging out their hearts and minds, spreading out a large amount of money, and the result …… is all cheaper than the court.

At this time, Zhu Di said: “Jin Yiwei to continue to pursue this matter, the officials involved, one should also be taken down, as well as the various Buzhengji Division …… also do not let go.”

Immediately, Zhu Di’s gaze turned to the crown prince Zhu Gaoqi said, “As for the vacant officials, the crown prince to draw up a charter, submitted to me to come.”

Zhu Gaoqi busily said, “The son minister obeys the decree.”

Zhu Di’s gaze fell on another person and said, “Secretary Jin has been meritorious, can you ask for any reward?”

He looked over at Kim Youzi with a smirk.

Jin Youzi said: “Your Majesty, my wife’s early death, to say really sad, although she is scattered, but left in the world only a brother, that is, the minister’s wife brother Liu Jin, Liu Jin committed a monstrous crime, of course, ten thousand deaths, but I hope that Your Majesty can be dealt with leniently, if you can leave him a life, I will certainly be grateful.”

Zhu Di smiled and said, “Yes, this wife and brother are also the closest relatives, who doesn’t have a wife and brother?”

Said, looked at the temple in the Duke of Wei Xu Huizu, and then glanced at Zhang Anshi, only to say: “Both so …… then pardoned the strike, Chen Qing …… this Liu Jin to be strictly interrogated, and so all the culpability of the account clear, then release The matter.”

Said, face a taut, unusually solemn, said: “This is my extraordinarily open grace, only this time, the next will not be an exception.”

Chen Li answered.

Jin Youzi panicked and thanked him.

Zhu Di said, “This case …… Prince and Zhang Anshi to lead, be sure to get rid of the evil. Especially those who threaten …… to rebel, one can not stay, family exile ……”

Zhu paused and said, “Assassinated to Xinzhou ……”

Zhu Di gave Zhang Anshi a meaningful look.

It seemed to encourage something.

Zhang Anshi suddenly felt as if there was an unceasing power surging out of his body, seemingly an indescribable vitality.

It was as if Zhu was saying: strike hard, don’t miss this opportunity.

Zhang Anshi said, “I …… don’t share the sky with the thieves!”

Zhu Di smiled, then whisked his sleeve: “Strike the dynasty! And …… remove all these damned mourning clothes and hats, look at teach people to be disgusted.”

When the words fell, Zhu Di swung his chariot and left.

Leaving the hundred officials standing in place.

Some could no longer move their steps, and some even sat down paralyzed, so a eunuch had to help them up.

Zhang Anshi, on the other hand, was glowing and led Chen Li out of the hall with great gusto.

Who knows, but saw the gold young Zi alone out of the temple, then, but someone violently towards the gold young Zi spit a mouthful of spittle.

Zhang Anshi’s face tensed and he burst into a rage, “Bold, insulting a minister is a crime that deserves death, Chen Li, go and take the man.”

Chen Li was about to make a move.

Jin Youzi, however, seems to be like a person who is fine, only a slight smile said, “Your Highness …… is just some misunderstanding, there is no need to raise an army.”

Zhang Anshi looked Kim Youzi up and down.

In fact, he and Jin Youzi are not familiar, not because Zhang Anshi does not like to deal with this public, but this person is silent, usually ignore anyone, even among the university professors, he is not considered to be prominent.

Zhang Anshi said, “Jin Gong …… later, I transferred a few school lieutenants specializing in the protection of you, you usually go in and out, can be careful, these thieves, to the end of the mountain, it is difficult to guarantee that the fish will not die net broken.”

Jin Youzi smiled and said, “Thank you, Your Highness.”

Zhang Anshi added, “As for your wife and brother ……”

Zhang Anshi turned back to Chen Li: “How is his wife and brother, have they been beaten?”

“Ah …… this ……” Chen Li a little said not good, but he estimated in his heart, roughly should be hit.

Zhang Anshi said, “Anyway, from now on, until he confesses honestly, he won’t be taught to suffer any more physical pain.”

Jin Youzi, however, shook his head and said, “It’s better to let him suffer some flesh and blood.”

Zhang Anshi froze, then laughed: “Right, right, right, it’s better to be taught a lesson, if not, you’ll have to cause trouble in the future.”

Jin Youzi nodded: “Tomorrow, the old man will go to a trip to the South Township Division, these days, there are some people, to the old man wrote a lot of letters, some of which …… are quite forbidden, perhaps on the Jin Yiwei …… help. ”

Zhang Anshi’s eyes brightened a few points and said, “That would be great!”

Jin Youzi then looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile, “Your Highness must have many questions in your heart.”

Zhang Anshi said, “In fact, many things are slowly figured out, only one thing …… Jin Gong …… today, is not afraid of …… someone to hold a grudge? ”

This was quite a surprise to Zhang Anshi.

It is important to know that throughout the dynasties, this kind of person who does black work for the emperor is often the object of scorn. Jin Youzi is, after all, a university scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion, and he can clearly leave himself a good choice.

Jin Youzi slightly drooping eyes, a moment of meditation before saying: “If these people have their way, then …… indeed …… the old man must be spurned for the ages. But if these people can not be successful, the future of the world of Daming, the new government to survive, the readers or mandarins into the service, or business, or the general effect of the Confucius sages, learn the six arts, each division of their own, then I think …… what I do today, but is to help His Majesty to promote the interests of the right.”

He paused, then said: “Life in the world, is nothing more than the process of choosing again and again, Jin Mou has read many years of books, but also into the dynasty to do some things, since I know that the book said that ruling the country and leveling the world, it is not easy. The good and bad of the new government, and can be regardless. But since ancient times, many ills, Jin Mou is aware of, if it does not care, not to remove, then …… I Daming and tyrannical Yuan, and what is the difference?”

“Instead of bumbling around and keeping the so-called innocence, it would be better …… to do something, but unfortunately, the old man has nothing to offer, and the only thing he can do is just to assist His Majesty …… in getting this matter done. ”

Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but look deeply at Jin Youzi, with obvious admiration in his eyes, and said, “This king has been taught.”

Because of the large number of people retreating from the court, Zhang Anshi was not in a position to chat more, and immediately said goodbye to Jin Youzi, took Chen Li, and then hurriedly left.

The atmosphere in Wen Yuan Ge’s duty room was particularly awkward.

Xie Jin and Jin Youzi, a return to Wen Yuan Pavilion, the two immediately hid back in their duty room.

Hu Guang, however, followed behind Yang Rong with a baba, and after entering Yang Rong’s duty room, he immediately closed the door and windows, and said with an air of palpitation, “This Jin Gong is really too mean, why didn’t I see it?”

Yang Rong, on the other hand, said with a calm face, “If even you can see it, then …… His Majesty and Duke Jin have blundered, and if even Duke Hu can’t be fooled, who else can be fooled?”

Hu Guang said with a bitter face, “Aiya, there are words you say properly, how is always a smell of gunpowder.”

Yang Rong said, “What I said is the truth, Hu Gong …… you don t ponder it all day long.”

Hu Guang said, “I am a university scholar of Wen Yuan Pavilion, if I don’t even worry about it, then what does the court want me for?”

“Hu Gong has not thought ……” Yang Rong said, “Hu Gong worry or not, do not affect the dynasty?”

Hu Guang felt that he was zapped again, sighed, as if a frosty eggplant, and said: ”Your words, it is not unreasonable, Your Majesty …… this time …… is really ruthless, just …… I think that this move of His Majesty, is ultimately not right. For the king, should be upright, but now the behavior, it is like …… like ……”

The latter words, Hu Guang since he felt evasive, did not continue.

Yang Rong sighed, “These will be judged by posterity.”

Hu Guang then said, “What will posterity say?”

Yang Rong thought for a moment and said: ”How the descendants argue, Yang mou may not be clear, but …… I know that the descendants should be the same as today’s military and civilian people, there will be no difference. If the Ming can survive, the world is stable, the descendants must be grateful to His Majesty’s legacy today. But if …… the world is in chaos, the people do not want to live, there will be descendants can not help but miss the stability of today’s Daming. As for what His Majesty has done, it is of secondary importance.”

Hu Guang listened, frowned, and also thought seriously before saying, “This sentence makes sense.”

He paused, and a new question began to arise: “Then what will posterity say about Hu?”

Yang Rong glanced at him and said, “This is something that old man has actually thought of.”

Hu Guang’s eyes lit up and said in surprise, “Really, Yang Gong even helped me think of this, quickly tell me about it.”

Yang Rong weighing said: “The future will say, Hu Gong is wise as fools, although it does not seem to have the posture of the prime minister, but the words and deeds, are hiding the sharpness of its trespassing to stupidity to show to the people, but can be steadily living in the position of the prime minister, the power of the subtle, is really unfathomable, Xie Jin, Yang Rong, Jin Youzhi’s generation, only in terms of the power of the argument, are not as good as also.”

The radiance on Hu Guang’s face disappeared immediately, with flames in his eyes, he gritted his teeth and said, “Nonsense, what nonsense, I believe in the wisdom of posterity, Mister Hu would never trample on the old man in such a way!”

Yang Rong saw Hu Guang anger, busy said: “Right right right, Hu Gong do not anger, are old man nonsense. Well, we are still doing our duty, hurry to draw up the ticket, the next …… is the real mountain rain wants to come.”

Hu Guang froze, puzzled, “Mountain rain, what does it mean?”

Yang Rong smiled and looked at Hu Guang and said, “Duke Hu wouldn’t think …… that His Majesty has gone through so much effort just to deter the curmudgeons, right? Today is just the beginning yet, the next …… is the main event.”

Hu Guang s eyes opened wide and exclaimed, “Do you mean …… to raise a big prison? This …… this …… will kill many people, right?”

“Can’t eat.” Yang Rong shook his head and said thoughtfully, “The next thing is not about Wen Yuan Ge, it’s about the factory guards.”
