Chapter 231 Good idea

Chapter 231

Zhang Hao took Jiajing to the square of Yuxi Palace. At this moment, there were seven or eight carriages in the square, all of which were loaded with things.

"All?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and asked.

"Of course, Your Majesty, this is the list signed and pledged by the criminal officials, including all silver taels. Among them, 782 taels of silver notes, 4300 taels of cash, and various gold, silver, and jade wares are here. , the value is estimated to be no less than 9 million taels, and the land deed and house deed are also there, worth about 3183 million taels, and other valuable things can still be worth 200 taels, here you are!" Zhang Hao said and gave the list to Jiajing.

"Here, here is worth 1300 million taels?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao in shock and asked.

"By the way, Your Majesty, you've gotten rich!" Zhang Hao nodded and said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Okay, okay, with so much money, you can do a lot of things, okay!" Jiajing nodded. Unexpectedly, after checking the corrupt officials, it would be enough for two years of Daming's household income. !
"Your Majesty, when you have money, you should let the common people cultivate themselves. The common people are really suffering! Taxes in some places can be exempted!" Standing there, Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"I know, Lu Fang, you go and count it and send it to the internal funds!" Jiajing nodded and said to Lu Fang next to him.

"By the way, Your Majesty, this is the amnesty list, mainly those who are not deeply involved in the case. I have considered it over and over again, and I am sure there is no problem. Your Majesty, please approve it!" Zhang Hao came over with some lists and handed them to Jiajing.

Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and pointed at Zhang Hao.

"Hey, Your Majesty, I just want to mention this matter when you are happy!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing with a smile.

"You bastard!" Jiajing scolded Zhang Hao, and then said to the eunuch behind him: "Bring the cinnabar pen here!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Immediately, an eunuch took out a cinnabar pen and handed it to Jiajing.

Jiajing took the cinnabar pen without looking at it, signed directly, and then stamped his palm print.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hao said happily.

"Take it, do your errands well. Tonight, go back to rest. Tomorrow, you will be on duty in the alchemy room. From now on, you will be on duty normally, and you will rest for five days after every ten days!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Your Majesty, when I rest, I don't rest during the day, but rest at night!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Okay, up to you!" Jiajing said with a smile.

"Let's go, talk in the alchemy room!" Jiajing turned around and left after saying that. He had seen and seen that now with so much money, many things can be done.

After arriving at the alchemy room, Jiajing took Zhang Hao and sat by the stove, while Yang Jinshui poured tea for them.

"Tell me, what you have seen and heard along the way!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Anyway, it's just a word, the people are suffering, and those county magistrates are actually not good things. It's just that we don't investigate them this time. If we do, we will definitely be able to dig out more money!" Zhang Hao sat there, facing Jiajing said.

"I won't check it anymore, I won't check it now, no one in the court can use it now, the Ministry of Household Affairs must definitely check it out, and then I have to go to the local government to recruit officials to come up. In addition, there were many people who were lacking before. The promotion of Jinshi has already been arranged, there are not many people left, last year's Jinshi has been arranged, and now there are many vacancies!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"I won't investigate, how many officials have not been killed?" Zhang Hao said while sitting there, staring at Jiajing.

"There are not many people. We have checked hundreds of officials since last year, you know? Hundreds!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Not that many, I only have fifty or sixty!" Zhang Hao still looked at Jiajing in surprise when he heard that.

"The Ministry of Punishment has also investigated and dealt with some! This time, Yan Song and the others are going to investigate 6 people? They have already involved more than 20 people, all of whom are local officials. If the investigation continues like this, the officials below will not be able to make up for it!" Jiajing Said to Zhang Hao.

"I'm afraid that no one will be an official. I'm not bragging to you, the emperor. Putting an ordinary person in that position is better than those corrupt officials. They are vicious, really vicious!" Zhang Hao said indignantly.

"Hey, I know, why don't you go to be the Minister of the Ministry of Officials? The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of the Ministry of Households, and the Censor of Zuodu!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and asked, Zhang Hao immediately stood up, ready to ask run.

"Stop, I didn't force you to act, bastard, you run away as soon as you talk about this?" Jiajing pulled Zhang Hao back and shouted.

"Your Majesty, you can say anything, don't make me an official!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Sit down, I won't let you go, it's right here!" Jiajing said with a wry smile, Zhang Hao sat down at ease when he heard this, and then looked at Jiajing.

"Hey, there are sores all over the place, and there will be loopholes at that time. I don't know how to fix them. Fortunately, the army is not in chaos!" Jiajing said with a sigh at this moment.

"Simple, Your Majesty, we just need to let the people have money and not rebel. As for those officials, let's check slowly. By the way, Your Majesty, I have an idea. I don't know if it will work?" Zhang Hao said and looked at Jiajing immediately.

"Let's hear it!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao.

"Your Majesty, look, if we form an inspection team, we will go down to inspect the officials. They can investigate the officials. The first inspection does not need to investigate the case, but to find out the situation below. Of course, the investigation is also fine. , An inspection team is sent out once a year. They now say they are going to inspect, but they are actually investigating the situation of officials in various places.

Whether they are corrupt, dereliction of duty, and good management, the inspector must be an upright person. Now we have thirteen provinces in Ming Dynasty, and we can send thirteen inspectors! "Zhang Hao sat there and said to Jiajing.

"Huh?" Jiajing began to think about it when he heard it. This suggestion is very good.

"Once a year?" Jiajing then said to Zhang Hao.

"Yes, the person in charge of the inspection team must be someone who is qualified to serve as the chief envoy or the inspector! They have rich experience, and they are also clear about the methods of those officials. In this case, if they go to investigate, they must let those The officials are scared!" Zhang Hao nodded and said to Jiajing.

"Good idea, good idea, good, good! Where's the list of third-rank and fourth-rank officials you compiled?" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Ah, I haven't sorted it out yet, and I haven't gone to the official department yet!" Zhang Hao immediately said to Jiajing.

"Can't you hurry up? It's a long time to do something!" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said dissatisfied.

"Your Majesty, the conscience of heaven and earth, have I been idle?" Zhang Hao shouted angrily at Jiajing when he heard this.

"Yes, yes, this period of time is busy, hurry up, hurry up, your suggestion, I have to think about it carefully, and I have to form a charter, yes, three days later, on the first day of each month, I will be in those Announce this charter in front of the ministers!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"It's too wronged, Your Majesty!" Zhang Hao still shouted unhappily.

"Okay, okay, I was negligent, I was negligent, you have been diligent these days!" Jiajing immediately comforted Zhang Hao.

He knew that if he didn't appease Zhang Hao, he would lose his temper. What if this kid doesn't do it?
"Okay, tell me. Tell me about the investigation this time!" Jiajing immediately changed the topic to Zhang Hao, otherwise, this kid could continue to be entangled in this matter.

After talking for a while, Zhang Hao came out of the alchemy room and went straight to his mansion. He is not on duty tonight, so he can take a rest. When Zhang Hao arrived at the front yard, he went to find his mother first.

"Mother, mother!" Zhang Hao shouted when he reached the front yard.

"Hey, my son is back, when did you come back?" Mrs. Xu was chatting with a few women in the living room, when she heard Zhang Hao's shout, she immediately stood up, Zhang Hao also came in, and saw those women , salute immediately, these are my mother's childhood friends, and many of them have husbands who are court ministers.

"I've seen you ladies!" Zhang Hao saw that there were guests, and immediately stood up and bowed to them.

"Well, I met Marquis Lu An!" The wives also stood up and returned the salute.

"Mother, the baby is back, mother, you continue to chat, the baby has returned to the small courtyard!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shi with a smile.

"Well, go, wash it, it's so dirty, it's been outside for so many days!" Xu said with a smile, holding Zhang Hao's hand.

"Well, ladies, I'll take my leave first, you guys are chatting!" Zhang Hao saluted them, then his mother, and left.

When Zhang Hao arrived at the small courtyard, the servants in the small courtyard saw Zhang Hao coming back and saluted one after another.

And Xu Shiyun, who was drawing in the study at the moment, also came out of the study when she heard about Zhang Hao's return.

"Sir, are you back?" Xu Shiyun said to Zhang Hao with a smile.

"Well, I'm back, prepare some hot water, my husband needs to wash well, I haven't showered for several days!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun.

"Okay, hurry up and get ready!" Xu Shiyun nodded and asked the servants to prepare, and then went to the study with Zhang Hao.

"Still drawing? How much have you drawn?" Zhang Hao saw Xu Shiyun's painting on the table, smiled and looked at it carefully.

"I haven't finished this painting yet, I always feel that there is still something that I haven't painted well! Mr. Xianggong, can you help me take a look?" Xu Shiyun said with a smile, looking at Zhang Hao.

"It's ok, that's right, I feel, I feel petty, not grand! Look at those mountains, they are not grand, such a big painting, the mountains are not magnificent!" Zhang Hao stood there, looking at the painting and said, Xu Shiyun stood Watching from the side.

"Really, I said, why does it feel wrong? This is the first time I draw such a large-scale painting, and I want to hang it in your study. From this point of view, this painting is not good!" Xu Shiyun pondered for a while, and said .

"Drawing so well for the first time?" Zhang Hao immediately looked at Xu Shiyun with a look of shock, and his daughter-in-law wanted to praise her.

"Hee hee, it's not easy, I'm still a bit petty, I can draw better next time!" Xu Shiyun was very happy when she heard Zhang Hao say that.
