Ming politicians

() Su Tiancheng also did this patrol censor. He went to the Henan area to provide disaster relief. Speaking of which, the patrol censor has a humble position, and those who can serve as the patrol censor will not be high-ranking officials of the imperial court, but they must be Jinshi Born, a court official who is recognized by everyone as having a good personal character.

There are two types of patrol censors, one is with Shang Fang’s sword, this kind of patrol censors, mostly go to rescue disasters, or investigate a major case, they can behead civil and military officials below the fourth rank, power It is very big. Another kind of patrolling censor is to inspect on behalf of the emperor. It is mainly to understand the situation below. If there is any problem, the officials below can be impeached.

The inspector censor who came to Nanzhili this time was actually Wu Weiye.

Su Tiancheng had been arguing for a long time, but he didn't understand the meaning of it. Wu Weiye stayed in the Hanlin Academy well, so why did he come to Nanzhili? Besides, Wu Weiye has been on patrol for a while, and he should be familiar with it when he returns to the stables. It's not a problem if you keep running down your own business.

According to the news he knew, Zhou Yanru recommended Chen Yutai to visit Nanzhili, and Wen Tiren recommended Xu Eryi to visit Nanzhili, but Zhu Youjian didn't approve, and sent Wu Weiye to visit. Coming here, the emperor's dissatisfaction has already been shown, and the opinions of the chief minister and the second minister of the cabinet were not adopted.

When Wu Weiye arrived in Nanzhili, the first stop turned out to be Jiangning County.

It turned out that Wu Weiye was going to deliver an edict.That is, the imperial court's treatment of Zhou Shunqing, according to reason.For such a matter, the Ministry of Punishment or Dali Temple directly issued an imperial edict, but this time it was an imperial edict issued by the emperor. It can be seen that Zhou Shunqing's matter caused great fluctuations in the court.

Zhou Shunqing's case was specifically handled by Jiangning County.The final processing was also based on Jiangning County, so Wu Weiye came to Jiangning County first.

Kneeling on the ground, hearing the imperial decree, the execution of Zhou Shunqing turned out to be the time for a decisive execution.Su Tiancheng was stunned, he never thought that such an ending would happen, it is supposed to be impossible, Zhou Shunqing is Zhou Yanru's nephew, no matter what.Zhou Yanru was the chief assistant of the cabinet. After all, Zhou Shunqing was not charged with rebellion and could be exiled. It is not a big problem to save his life, even if it is temporarily lost.Delay until next autumn and ask to cut, here.There is also room for activities.

Since Wu Weiye came to proclaim the decree, he should be executed as a matter of course.

After the decree was announced, Wu Weiye spoke with a smile on his face when he came to the third hall.

"Lord Su, I came here to study because of the reputation. At the beginning, I thought that you were sent to the county, and I thought it was an injustice of the court. Who would have thought that you would do so many things in Jiangning County? The imperial court has more than 2000 million taels of silver, and I was able to get the salary in time, it is all thanks to you, such a big event, I dare not even think about it."

"Master Wu was joking. You have been in the Imperial Academy. During the past few months, you have been patrolling everywhere. I don't know how much information you have learned. Look at me. I am worried about so many things in Jiangning County. Eyes What you see inside are all trivial things."

"You're mocking me, why don't we change, but I also know myself, I can't do these big things, by the way, you deal with Zhou Shunqing, this is a great move, it caused a sensation in the court. Yes Now, what exactly are you thinking about leasing the official land of the Nanjing military camp, I still don't understand until now."

In Wu Weiye's view, the official is to persuade farmers to teach farmers and ask farmers to farm well. As for the matter of leasing official land, it is said that there is no need to worry about it.

"Hehe, I'm also thinking that if farmers can plant more fields, the county government will have more income. Think about it, the officials of the county government have so little salary that it is difficult to support their families. Can they still do it with peace of mind? Things, even if I make strict requirements, people can’t go on errands hungry. So, you are in the stables, and you have no worries about food and clothing. You can’t think of these things. I’m the magistrate of Jiangning County. If you don’t think about these things, you can’t do well. Serve the emperor and the court."

Wu Weiye looked at Su Tiancheng, and didn't believe this explanation. The salary of this official is the same everywhere, but the monthly payment is different. This is an open secret. It may not be said that the situation in Jiangning County is very different. Besides, Well, the conditions in Jiangning County are already good.

"Master Su, I feel that you treat me as an outsider. These are all excuses."

"This is really not an excuse. Think about it. Nanzhili is generally richer, especially Jiangning County and Shangyuan County. They are both in the South Stable. This South Stable is so prosperous, rich households and merchants abound. Yes, people spend a lot of money, wear gold and silver, look at the officials of the county government, they are still worrying about their lives, and my requirements for officials are very strict, and it is absolutely not allowed to accept gifts at will, let alone cheating for personal gain , Under such circumstances, if they cannot solve their salaries and increase their income, can the officials below remain clean for a long time?"

"Hey, what you say makes sense. In the past few months, I mainly went to Shandong, Henan and other places to patrol. The local conditions are generally not very good. Nanzhili is indeed different. , It is my hometown, Taicang and Kunshan in Suzhou Prefecture, it is completely different, if there is no money, it is really very difficult, learn from it, learn from it.”

"Who doesn't know that Suzhou is the richest place in the world, your brother's family conditions are good, there is no need to worry about money."

Wu Weiye smiled and did not deny that his family's conditions were indeed good, a local gentry in Taicang.

"Lord Su, this time I am here to inspect Nanzhili. In fact, I just want to understand the situation. The focus is on the situation in Jiangning County. The emperor is very concerned about the situation in Jiangning County. Even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have also noticed it."

Su Tiancheng shook his head slightly, this is not a good thing, he shot the bird in the head.

"Master Wu, Jiangning County is not a big deal. Shangyuan County is even better. It is much richer than Jiangning County. If you have time, learn more about the situation in Shangyuan County."

"Without an order, I will not exceed my authority."

Wu Weiye's face became a little serious.

"Master Su, you and I are classmates, we share the same loyalty, there are evils, I will say it straight, and I will never hide it. There is also controversy in the imperial court about your disaster relief in Henan. The facts are now in front of you. , some people have nothing to say, Shaanxi, Shanxi, including Shandong and other places, the imperial court has all gone to relieve the disaster, what happened, the bandits are plundering, the emperor is very worried, but the situation in Henan is very good, I also heard one thing , It is said that the bandit leader Gao Yingxiang sent someone to contact Mengjin, thinking that Mengjin must have suffered from the famine of the Yellow River breach, and there must be countless refugees. Isn’t it easy to recruit people? Unexpectedly, the people who were sent were caught by local farmers and turned away by the government. , the peasants have said that the emperor is sympathetic to them and has given great relief to the disaster. Although the current life is difficult, it can be overcome."

"Oh, there are such things. I heard that Mr. Yan was able to stabilize people's hearts so quickly when he just arrived in Mengjin County."

"Yes, you have done a very good job. Although Mr. Yan has just taken office, he is sympathetic to the people's sentiments. He even sent a memorial to the imperial court, imploring the exemption of Mengjin County's tax for one year. The emperor has already granted it."

Yan Zizhang is the supervisory censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, a seventh-rank Beijing official, and it is said that he needs to be promoted and used at the local level, at least he is also the sixth-rank general judge of the government office, which makes sense. Unexpectedly, he asked to come to Mengjin County. Served as the county magistrate of the seventh rank.As for the former magistrate, he had already been taken to the stables and beheaded for public display, and his family members could hardly escape the tragic fate.

"Lord Su, this is what I admire about you. Lord Yan went to Henan District with you to provide disaster relief. After returning to the stables, there have been great changes. He took the initiative to ask for an assignment, and he was in Mengjin County, Henan. I don't know you. What kind of ability does it affect Mr. Yan?"

"It's not my credit. Mr. Yan is sympathetic to the victims and wants to do something for the victims, so he volunteered to go to Mengjin County. He is a man of integrity."

Wu Weiye never mentioned the matter of Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren, which was expected by Su Tiancheng.

Wu Weiye himself was impeached, because he brought a brothel girl to the stables to participate in the general examination and palace examination, and was impeached by Wen Tiren, saying that he had misbehavior. Under such circumstances, he naturally would not discuss right and wrong, otherwise, he would It is regarded as deliberate revenge, which is obviously the act of a villain.

After the two chatted for a while, Su Tiancheng found Liu Zhongji.

Zhou Shunqing's decisive decision should be implemented by Liu Zhongji.

When Liu Zhongji saw Wu Weiye, he admired him very much. You must know that Wu Weiye was also a candidate for the palace examination. He was very famous among scholars.

Liu Zhongji's sophistication also attracted Wu Weiye's attention. Knowing that Liu Zhongji was just a student in Pingyang Mansion, he spoke well, behaved freely, and he already had an unusual style in his gestures. Wu Weiye admired Su Tiancheng even more. up.

It is only one aspect that you have the ability. The greater ability is to be able to influence the people around you and give full play to the role of everyone. This is the greatest ability.

This time, Wu Weiye did not discuss poetry with Su Tiancheng, and became the editor of the Imperial Academy. After patrolling several places, what he thought of in his mind was also the matter of the national economy and the people's livelihood, and he didn't have the heart to delve into any poetry. When he came to Jiangning County this time, he still had a lot of things to know, and he was very surprised just seeing Liu Zhongji, the history of Jiangning County.

Wu Weiye is allowed to drink, but he is not Su Tiancheng's opponent.

In the Four Seas Restaurant, he was very drunk and was still muttering, the imperial examination is not as good as Su Tiancheng, and the drinking is also not as good as Su Tiancheng, except that he is older, he is completely convinced, and he will follow Su Tiancheng from now on study well.
