Chapter 470: In-depth reform


Zhou Yanru was not yet forty years old, but a group of young scholars rushed over and were still startled.

"What are you doing, this is Lord Zhou Yanru Zhou!"

The horseman was in a hurry and desperately blocked in front of Zhou Yanru.

"Corrupt officials and corrupt officials, everyone will be punished!"

"Shoot him!"

"It's also clean!"

Xiong Wenju led a group of people and directly overturned the coachman, and he was about to overturn Zhou Yanru's carriage and push Zhou Yanru down.

Zhou Yanru was furious, he was a person with virtue, prestige and official position, how could he allow a group of white clothes to be beaten!

"Presumptuous, stop it!"

Zhou Yanru staggered on the carriage, angry and angry.

"Hit!"

Xiong Wenju led a group of people and directly overturned the carriage.

Zhou Yanru fell to the ground horizontally, struggling to get up, and was instantly pushed back by seven or eight feet.

"What are you doing, I am an official of the imperial court, you are a big rebel......

Ah......h The scholars were extremely angry, where could they hear him, and regarded him as the real culprit of the 'Imperial Examination Leaking Case', and surrounded him angrily, punching and kicking!

"Kill you corrupt officials!"

"Who else is an accomplice!"

"Tell me quickly, who have you bribed to help you suppress the case!"

The scholars were furious, and their hands and feet were even harder, showing no mercy.

The guards guarding the door were stunned for a while, and then they reacted, rushed over, drove the soldiers aside, rescued Zhou Yanru, who was already blue and swollen, and was covered in injuries, and sent him to the palace.

A group of soldiers blocked the door, roaring angrily, and even tried to rush into the palace, but were blocked by the guards.

Zhou Yanru didn't take long to appear in Wenzhao Pavilion, standing in Zhu Youzhen's class room, still gently wiping the wound, and screaming in pain from time to time.

Zhu Youzhen walked around, his expression gloomy and terrifying.

Wang Chengen stood not far away, expressionless, and looked at Zhu Youzhen with a worried expression.

He knew very well that this prince was the most important in 'etiquette', and these scholars actually beat the members of the Wenzhao Pavilion and the important ministers of the court in front of the palace, especially when it was 'unreasonable'!

"Hateful, deserve to be killed!"

Zhu Youzhen roared for a long time, his face was full of killing intent!

Wang Chengen's face changed slightly, and the anger in the heart of King Xin was aroused.

Zhou Yanru has always been angry today, and when he saw Zhu Youzhen so angry, he immediately added fuel to the fire and said: "Lord Wang, this case must be closed as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that the court will never have peace, and I am definitely not the only one who will be beaten!"

” "Beating the officials of the imperial court, lawlessness!

How about the investigation by the Criminal Department!?

” Zhu Youzhen roared, pressed his hands on the table, and stared at Zhou Yanru coldly.

Zhou Yanru's heart froze, and he had a bad premonition, but he still insisted on it: "Lord Wang, there is no progress in the Criminal Department, and the situation is getting bigger and bigger!"

” Zhu Youzhen's eyes were full of murderous aura, and he said directly to Wang Chengen: "Let Wei Zhongxian come to see me!"

"He doesn't trust the Criminal Department now, although Wei Zhongxian is more unreliable, but it is better than the Criminal Department, after all, Dongchang is now hanging under Wenzhao Pavilion.

Wang Chengen glanced at Wei Zhongxian, bowed and said, "Yes." ” Jingyang Palace, inside the imperial study.

Cao Huachun stood in Zhu Xu's ear and whispered the things outside the palace gate in Zhu Xu's ear.

Zhu Xu raised his eyebrows, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and could already have a premonition that Zhu Youzhen would definitely be furious.

He quickly restrained his expression, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, looked at Qian Longxi and Jiang Dejing who were standing not far away, and said, "Two adults, you are very interested in Zhejiang.

Jiang, Jiang.

What do you think about the two provinces of the Soviet Union?

” Jiang Dejing glanced at Qian Longxi and did not speak first.

They don't know which one of them is going to Zhejiang.

River, which one goes to the river.

Sue.

Qian Longxi looked at Zhu Xu, and raised his hand with a look that knew it well and studied it for a long time: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that whether it is Jiangnan or Jiangbei, the political reform is still superficial, or it has not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ” Zhu Xu nodded lightly, the system reform cannot be achieved overnight, what he is doing now is only a top-level design, and it will take time to complete it completely.

Qian Longxi saw Zhu Xu nodding, and continued: "In addition, the various yamen have not seriously performed their duties, such as the Governor's Yuan, the minister believes that the Governor's Yuan should be set up from provinces, prefectures to counties, and convene the gentry and magnates who support the political reform, which is not only conducive to stabilizing the political reform, but also can implement the policies and laws of the imperial court......

Zhu Xu's eyebrows moved, his eyes smiled, this Qian Longxi has indeed done serious research.

Qian Longxi's words continued: "The gentry in Jiangnan have many misunderstandings about the imperial court, and the minister believes that the imperial newspaper has not done enough, and should vigorously publicize the benefits brought by the imperial court's policies and the great ......cause of Zhongxing Daming."

Zhu Xu smiled, Qian Longxi saw a lot, and these were all things that Zhu Xu needed them to do.

Jiang Dejing saw that Qian Longxi had said so much, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that the establishment of the academy is conducive to spreading the teachings of the saints and adding more talents to my Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, after the minister arrived in Jiangnan, he will definitely go all out to implement the academy and increase the number of students despite all difficulties.

In addition, the ministers thought that the Governor's Yuan was not enough, and the students should also have a yamen to comment on the government and go to the yamen with empathy, and this yamen could also let the scholars understand the policies of the imperial court......"

Zhu Xu's eyes lit up, looked at Jiang Dejing, and said with a satisfied smile: "Master Jiang's idea is very good, well, after I go back, write a detailed notebook." ” When Jiang Dejing heard this, he was excited, and said with a rather reserved expression: "Obey the order." ” Qian Longxi saw that Jiang Dejing had grabbed the lead, and followed closely: "Your Majesty, the minister believes that the whole country seems to be stable now, but in fact, the political reform has brought a lot of chaos, and the duty of the imperial court and local governors is to affirm the laws and disciplines, where there are laws to follow and evidence-based, in order to avoid any mistakes......

Zhu Xu smiled more, looked at Qian Longxi and said: "What Master Qian said is also quite reasonable, after I go back, write a detailed script, and in a few days, I will find a time to decide by court discussion." ” Qian Longxi and Jiang Dejing are both very happy, if the court decides to send the two to Jiangnan again, it will be a great honor, and they can even get rid of the label of 'Wenzhao Pavilion' on the two of them and become the 'Imperial Party'!

Both of them were very excited, and they said everything they had prepared concisely, which made Zhu Xu quite happy.

Whether it is an official or something else, the most important thing for a person is to have expectations, and if there is expectation, there is motivation, compared to eating and waiting for death in Wenzhao Pavilion, these two people want to be able to do something in the governor's office, and really enter the six departments and rank in the court!

After half an hour, the two of them left Jingyang Palace with some unfinished feelings, and went back to their homes, excited to write a perfect script.

As soon as the two left, Liu Shimin walked over and said, "Your Majesty, Fu Shangshu has been waiting in the side room for a long time. ” Zhu Xu nodded, exhaled lightly, got up and walked towards the side room.

Fu Changzong stood there, and just as he was about to salute, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Uncle, sit down." ” Fu Changzong didn't have much courtesy, and when Zhu Xu sat down, he sat opposite him and said, "Your Majesty, the minister is here today for the year-end inventory." ” Zhu Xu's expression moved slightly, and then he said, "Uncle said, I listen." ” The year-end inventory of the household department, not only the household department, but also includes the Huitong Commercial Bank and the various chambers of commerce to which it belongs, which involves an extremely wide range of aspects, and it is impossible to judge it in a few months.

There was a thick account book on the table, Fu Changzong flipped through a page, looked up at Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, last year, the household department put 20 million stone of grain and 3 million taels of silver into storage, and now they have all been exhausted, with a deficit of 1.5 million taels of silver and 8 million taels of grain. ” Zhu Xu chucked slightly, this is expected, but I am afraid that the deficit will continue to increase in the future, and the income of the treasury will gradually decrease.

Fu Changzong saw that Zhu Xu did not speak, so he continued: "The deficit is subsidized by Huitong Commercial Bank, but the income of Huitong Commercial Bank has also fluctuated, and the growth has been slow......

The boycott from Jiangnan's side. ” Zhu Xu's eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Fu Changzong and said, "Resist?

” Fu Changzong also looked at Zhu Xu, and said with some cautious words: "It can't be said to be a boycott, but there is a tacit agreement not to cooperate with the Chamber of Commerce to which Huitong Commercial Bank belongs." ” Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, revealing a cold glow.

This is a signal that Jiangnan's resistance to the imperial court reform has seeped from the vested big interests to the middle interests, and this resistance is likely to be self-directed and not premeditated.

Fu Changzong knew Zhu Xu very well, knew that he was angry, and said in a deep voice: "But the income is still increasing, among which the sea trade has increased the most, from the Wa Kingdom, the South China Sea, the net profit can be more than five million taels, however, the red-haired people are also eyeing the sidelines." ” Zhu Xu didn't move, and said, "Well, I plan to be in Taiwan next year.

The Bay Strait will hold a naval exercise, and the red-haired people and the Francophone people will come to see it at that time. ” Fu Changzong knew that this was a demonstration, and it also showed that Zhu Xu attached great importance to maritime trade, so he secretly wrote it down in his heart, and said: "Your Majesty, there is also the household department redefining the fortune from the clan nobles to officials at all levels, among them, the use of the palace, I don't know what the emperor plans?"

” This is what Zhu Xu asked the household department to do, in the form of the Ming law, the stability expenditure of the imperial court is clearly stipulated, in addition to curbing **, Zhu Xu also intends to control the use of the royal family.

Zhu Xu shook his head and said, "I don't have any special plans, the household department will estimate it first, and I will look at the numbers first."

By the way, the use of the royal family can be reduced, and the salaries of officials at all levels can be appropriately increased, although it is not possible to achieve high salaries and maintain integrity, but it can also reduce corruption, especially low-level officials. ” Fu Changzong understood Zhu Xu's intention after a little thought, nodded and said, "The minister understands." ” Zhu Xu saw that Fu Changzong was finished, picked up the teacup, and asked as if unintentionally while still thinking about Jiangnan: "Uncle, what do you think about the academy?"

” Fu Changzong's expression moved slightly, and his expression hesitated.
