First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 312

After Zhang Ximeng said this, the ball was naturally sent to Zhu Yuanzhang's feet.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang was also reflecting. At that time, Tao An said those words and did not want to be the same as the common people. Zhu Yuanzhang moved to kill and wanted to execute the old man. Let the following people see, if you want to be polite, we will help you to be decent!

But Lao Zhu didn't kill him. In the end, Tao An did a lot of things, and he just talked about it, and didn't really do anything bad.

The most important thing is that now he, Zhu Yuanzhang, has not leveled the Southern Region, at least Tianwan still has considerable strength, and the persecution is too tight at this time, and it is indeed possible to rely on others.

As a king, you still have to win over people's hearts and maintain the stability below.

Moreover, Tao An was the fastest for a while, and it was considered a merit, which was equivalent to giving Zhu Yuanzhang a wake-up call.

Don't think that under your own rule, you are one with yourself.

It can even be said that most people do not agree with Zhang Ximeng's proposition.

There are too many people who still think that they are extraordinary and should enjoy better treatment. Ordinary people should be honest, let them drive, and obediently carry the sedan chairs for them. This is the peaceful and prosperous world, and it is the lord of the sage.

If you can't meet even this little request, you'll be a dizzy king.

Even if it is good for the country, we will arrange you in the same way.

When Zhu Yuanzhang realized that there were some people who were not familiar with him, he really wanted to use a knife, very, very much... But at this time, Ma's dissuaded him.

Ma's reasoning is also very simple, Tao An jumped out, he still has a reason not to kill, those people just think in their hearts, how can they use the knife?

If you have to deal with it, you will inevitably kill a good person by mistake, but it will shake your own prestige.

A person kills decisively, not because of how many people he can kill. But in the face of the need to kill people, will they be soft-hearted and open up?

Just like Hu Sanshe, his crimes are clear, and his father is leading the army in front of the army. This is a problem. You Zhu Chongba killed it enough to tell the world who you are.

As for the civil servants like Tao An, who have the habit of scholar-bureaucrat, unless they are really greedy and bend the law, and the evidence is solid, they can use the knife, otherwise it is easy to scare those scholars who want to come over, and the gain is not worth the loss.

There are not many people in this world who can change Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. There is only one person who dares to name Zhu Chongba directly and tell him what to do.

Lao Zhu was naturally kind, but he was still a little unhappy in his heart. He felt that Wen Chen was separated from him and not of one mind.

Today, Zhang Ximeng has come up with a new plan.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied, and finally had the opportunity to go down the stairs.

"We know in our heart that there are many people who look down on the poor people and think that these farmers who dig food in the soil are worthless, they are wormwood ants... But we want to say that your superiors, Zhu Yuanzhang, are going from this group of people. The few of our generals who came out came from such a hard life, and our generals are honest people who have been counted down for generations, all of whom are poor ghosts."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the audience and said coldly, "You guys, do you still think a poor stick is worthless?"

This time, there is no need for Zhang Ximeng to express his position. Li Shanchang directly took the lead and knelt down, covering his liver and gallbladder, and said with a moving expression: "Superior, before I became a minor official, my family was also quite embarrassed, and I couldn't eat enough food or wear warm clothes. With frostbite, the minister also wanted to go to Beijing to get a jinshi and honor his ancestors. But there was no way, and the family couldn't afford the troubles, so he could only be a small official and suffer hard. It's over."

Li Shanchang's words made sense and was very touching, and Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in admiration. It was Zhang Ximeng. He seemed to remember that Li Shanchang had said that the conditions at home were not bad, otherwise how would he have the opportunity to study?

He also used to be the first of his scholarly family, which means that you, Zhang Ximeng, don't be too proud.

Why did he become a poor man in a blink of an eye?

Could it be that Li Shanchang and his family also belonged to Schrödinger?

Is it rich or poor, has become a metaphysics?

But you can't say that Lao Li is lying. After all, among these civil servants, there are indeed those who have a very miserable background and are very difficult to study...such as Song Lian!

He agreed with Zhu Yuanzhang's statement very much, and he didn't make any troubles about his salary.

Now Zhang Ximeng's design for salary has made Song Lian very satisfied.

"In the upper position, the minister secretly thought that the official salary was five times higher than that of the ordinary people, and because he was in the court, he didn't have to worry about anything. It was already a great grace. You must know that, like Zhao Song, wanting to empty the treasury and support scholars and officials is not enough. And there is more than Feng. , can last a long time, peace and prosperity!"

Finally, there is still a general knowledgeable official, and Zhu Yuanzhang's anger has also been reduced by three points.

"Song Xueshi is right. We have seen the world of Dayuan fall apart with our own eyes, and we also know that the rise and fall of China's millennium, the world of Zhou was destroyed by the emperor's reckless behavior, asking for and taking everything. Zhao Song died because of extravagance and greed, and the emperor fainted. , the demands of officials and gentry are inexhaustible. The people are struggling to survive, and foreign invaders invade... These lessons are not without pain. We can tolerate officials getting some more salary, but we must not allow you to make a fortune and treat the people as fish. We hope you will remember today. If you do, let Zhang Xiang and Li Xiang discuss the matter of salary and make it public as soon as possible. From now on, we will strictly investigate all officials, and once we find corruption and perversion, we will not be lenient!"

Lao Zhu accepted his wife's persuasion that it is wrong to kill people casually, but we have reasons and solid evidence, and no one can stop it!

Look, we must deal with the habits of the literati and officials, do not treat the common people as human beasts, and kill them, and if we do not take care of a few corrupt officials, we will not be able to explain to the common people, and we will not be able to make us feel comfortable!

It's just that Zhang Ximeng and Li Shanchang can't be involved in this matter. Zhu Yuanzhang intends to ask Guo Ying to arrange it and ask Gong Weisi to investigate.

It is no exaggeration to say that Lao Zhu has already sharpened his knives.

On the other side, Zhang Ximeng also came to see Li Shanchang.

After the meeting, the atmosphere was not so harmonious, Li Shanchang just looked at Zhang Ximeng and smiled, and then he poured Zhang Ximeng a glass of white water.

"The tea is gone, only this is left, please forgive me."

Zhang Ximeng looked at the water cup, then looked up at Li Shanchang.

This old Li is blaming himself!

"Brother Li, do you think I should tell you my salary plan in advance, so that you can have a reason to deal with the officials and not be so embarrassed? Right?"877Chinese

"No!" Li Shanchang said coldly, "Zhang Xiang, to be honest, I don't agree with your plan. It is based on grain prices, and it is adjusted every two or three years... Don't you know that official salaries can only be increased, not Fall! If I were to say that after the superiors plan to stipulate the salary, it will never be changed. Perhaps it is a better way. In the end, it is all about greed, so it is better to set stricter rules. If someone is greedy and bends the law, it will be neat and tidy. !"

Li Shanchang was impassioned, but Zhang Ximeng was amused... What is your quality, Li Shanchang, I still don't know? Isn't this just angry, angered, and scolded me with words!

good!

If you have the surname Li, you have a species.

If I can't make you kneel in three words, I will be resigned, and you will be the master of everything!

"Brother Li, you are really jealous of evil, so how much do you think you are embezzling, can you rip off the skin?"

Li Shanchang said angrily: "Too much is not good, sixty taels will do!"

"Okay! Sixty taels are sixty taels. I received two catties of Longjing from Brother Li a few days ago. Do I need to peel it?"

Li Shan was puzzled, Longjing? There is such a thing, but that Longjing was given to him by someone below, saying it was a native product of West Lake, so he could have a taste of it.

Although the top-quality Longjing is very expensive, it will definitely not reach 60 taels. After all, the most expensive tea is Xiaolongtuan. The value of green tea is not enough, but Zhang Ximeng likes to drink it.

"Zhang Xiang, everyone knows your incorruptibility. If you were to be honest, there would be few people in the country who could say it!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Thank you for your love, I survived by luck, but on the banks of the West Lake, there are two renovated Song Dynasty manors, and a hundred acres of tea gardens. How much should it be worth and how many layers of skin should be peeled? understood!"

After he finished speaking, he directly put a bag of tea, a **** ticket, and a wooden box in front of Li Shanchang. After unfolding it, it was the house deed and land deed that Zhang Ximeng said. On it, there was a letter. It reads Li Blind Date Kai.

After three sentences, Zhang Ximeng sat beside him, looked at Erlang's legs, and drank white water.

Looking at Li Shanchang again, he was surprised at first, then trembled all over, and a strong sense of unease came to his heart. He picked up the tea and looked at it carefully. It was indeed the bag that was given to him!

Let's take a look at the ticket... Lao Li understands everything!

broken!

Some people hid the **** ticket in a tea bag by sending tea leaves.

As a result, he was negligent for a while and didn't take it seriously, so he passed it on to Zhang Ximeng.

There is something terrifying in this bag of tea, and a ticket can actually be exchanged for the manor and the tea garden... Good guy! This gift-giver is really thoughtful and well-designed.

Li Shanchang is the head of the civil service. Who would dare to touch the tea delivered to him?

The interesting thing is that the tea is not cheesy gold and silver, but a ticket!

Only by holding the **** ticket can the box be exchanged, and the gift is hidden in the box.

One ring after another, quietly, he handed the heavy gift to Li Shanchang.

What a great idea!

Simply ingenious and cleverly laid out.

It's just that this unexpected, Zhang Ximeng came to visit Li Shanchang, and for the first time in his life, he took bribes, took away the tea, and pinched this thing that outsiders could not know.

"Zhang Xiang, I, I am wronged!" Li Shanchang knelt down anxiously, "I, I really don't know, yes, someone framed me!"

Zhang Ximeng chuckled, "Brother Li, if I think you have something to do, I will send these things to the lord!"

"Ouch!"

With just one sentence, Li Shanchang's tears were about to fall. Thinking of the yin and yang anger just now, he could not wait to tear off the old face on one side and do such a shameful thing. This face... don't matter!

Li Shanchang has come to understand that Zhang Ximeng didn't talk to him, but he actually wanted to see who was making trouble with him and wanted to replace him... Zhang Xiang, you are really well-intentioned!

Lao Li grabbed Zhang Ximeng's arm and didn't know what to say.

Parents who gave birth to me, Zhang Xiang who saved me!

Actually, Li Shanchang is also self-indulgent. Zhang Ximeng knows that Li Shanchang is innocent in this case, but whether he is innocent or not, only God knows.

At this moment, giving Lao Li a big match, there is nothing wrong with that.

"Brother Li, it must not be a trivial matter to be able to use this method. If you stab the lord, you still don't know what to do!"

Li Shanchang was crying, don't mention Zhu Yuanzhang, my neck is getting cold now.

Which beast is it that framed us like this!

"Zhang Xiang, I'm in a mess now, tell me, what should I do?"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Actually, it's not difficult to do... I've heard of people who do good deeds without leaving their names, and I've never heard of people who don't leave their names for gifts. This person has one set after another, and I'm the only one who may still have a story hidden in this manor. Well, I will accompany Brother Li to take a look, and I will act as a witness to see who is behind and intend to bribe Brother Li!"

Li Shanchang took a deep breath, "Okay! Zhang Xiang saved me!"

Old Li got up and picked up the title deed. As for the other things, including the two catties of tea, he put them in a box, and he even put a seal on it, as evidence of the crime, and sealed it up.

"Look at Zhang Xiang, wait for the investigation to be clear, and then hand it over to the superior!" Old Li gnashed his teeth.

tea!

my tea!

Zhang Ximeng suddenly felt heartache...
