Chapter 393 Summon the old department
Zhu Biao sat in the house for a while, and then asked Liu An to lead him to the study room. Naturally, such a large house would not be empty, and there were even a lot of books in it, but he was not in the mood to read at this time.
Zhao Huaian laid out pens, inks, papers and inkstones. Zhu Biao first wrote a letter to his father. At this time, the imperial court examinations should also begin. The newly promoted Jinshi candidates are arranged in the disaster area. It is hard to say in the future, but the newly promoted officials are still a little bit Conscience is there.
It doesn't matter if you don't have enough experience in corruption. If you use old fritters from other places, it's a matter of changing the soup. It's the same as capital. Officials don't mind taking risks for 50% of the profit. If there is double the profit, they will Dare to behead the danger, if there are three times the profit, they will commit crimes at the risk of killing their relatives.
What's more, the benefits that can be obtained from corruption in the disaster area are far more than these. It is said that the benefits of more than ten times are not much. The people affected by the disaster, if they have no money, let them exchange their real estate with acres of land. Under the famine, who would cling to these things outside of the body.
After lingering for a period of time, the people who sold out their homes became refugees on the street. As for the poor people who had no homes, they starved to death long ago.
And the beneficiaries can be said to be full of food. After the famine is over, the fields, shops and real estate in their hands will naturally be valuable again. With these, they can bribe the officials in the middle of the capital and be transferred from this impoverished place to Beijing as soon as possible. Served in rich areas such as Jiangnan.
After this set of rules and regulations, everyone except the royal family who raised food for disaster relief and the people affected by the disaster were full.
Zhu Biao pursed his lips tightly, with murderous look on his face, Liu An, who was waiting on the side, looked down at his toes, not even daring to breathe, and there was only the slight sound of pen and ink sliding across the letter paper in the study.
After finishing writing, let Liu An seal it up. He sat on a chair to relieve his mood, and then wrote a family letter to his mother. The mother was worried when the son traveled thousands of miles. Just let my mother know that he is safe and healthy.
The other one is for my own princess, this time I am not going to write something to tell her to take care of her body, it will make it too obvious that I only care about the child in her womb, pregnant women tend to be sentimental, and they can't be with her in the first place Being around her will naturally not make her sad again.
Zhu Biao’s articles are still good, and the love letter is also handy. He tells the beauty of Suzhou, Hangzhou and Yangzhou in earnest words, and promises to take her out for a stroll next year. There is hope for a better life, no matter who it is.
The three letters to my closest family members are finished, and the rest are of course other people's. Zhu Biao first wrote to Yan Donglai, Minister of Dali Temple, and Chen Youzong, Minister of General Affairs, and asked them to check in Beijing who won the Shaanxi-Gansu officials. the benefits of.
Mao Xiang can't be trusted now. His house and several thousand taels of silver have not been reported, which means that he has already vaguely felt that his end is not good, and this is preparing himself for the future.
Zhu Biao guessed that it was Hu Weiyong who woke him up. After all, it was obvious that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see the two of them biting each other. Only the commander of the military captain's mansion will die.
Anyone who is in the position of Mao Xiang knows that people like them in the past dynasties mostly did not end well. Maybe they were willing to sacrifice themselves for the emperor's eternal achievements at the beginning, but the longer the time, the greater the change of human nature. Now Mao Xiang wants to live.
To be honest, Zhu Biao was in a difficult situation for Mao Xiang. He was in a situation where he could not advance or retreat. If he made a slight mistake, he would be punished by copying and beheading. Either follow the emperor's wishes and stare at Hu Weiyong, and rush to kill him when he is ordered, or Just cooperate with Hu Weiyong, and raise the bandits' self-respect so that the birds will not run out of bows.
It’s just that Zhu Yuanzhang’s small thoughts were left over by Zhu Yuanzhang more than ten years ago. I don’t know how Mao Xiang can’t sleep day and night, let alone what his final choice is. Zhu Yuanzhang’s dog is not easy to be, with few bones and a whip If there are too many, it is easy to be peeled off if it is wrong.
After that, Zhu Biao wrote a few more letters, which were not sent to the capital, but to his Donggong gate. There were too many disaster-stricken areas, and Zhu Biao was at a loss for himself. Most of the people sent by the imperial court were new officials with little experience. He was not at ease when he was handed over to a bunch of stunned youths for disaster relief.
It’s not just about not being greedy. The servants are as slippery as ghosts, and the common people are ignorant and difficult to teach. All kinds of people need experienced and capable officials. It’s definitely not something that nerds who have just left the examination room can handle well.
At that time, except Wu Bozong, who loved astronomy, stayed in the capital, the rest of the excellent Guo Chong, Zhang Fan, Li Jin and others all went to the local area to practice after being named in the Hanlin Academy under Zhu Biao's signal.
Those few were ambitious, and when Zhu Biao sent them away from Beijing, he rewarded each of them with two hundred taels of silver. It is to hope that you will not be trapped in survival, and you can devote yourself to solving worries for the public and the people.
Later, he specially sent someone to investigate secretly. Zhu Biao’s money was not easy to get. He gave him all the settling expenses and a bright future. If he still dared to embezzle and accept bribes, he would not take the prince seriously.
Zhu Biao gave money to eight or nine people at that time, all of whom were outstanding among the emigration, but afterward, there were still two people who embezzled and accepted bribes.
Zhu Biao’s first thought was of course the No. 1 scholar Guo Chong. He should be the county magistrate in Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi at this time.
Then there is Zhang Fan and Li Jin who is more his favorite. One of them is in Xi'an Mansion, the other is in Xiangyang Mansion, one is a county magistrate and the other is a state judge, but their official careers are smooth.
The administrative ability of these two people is stronger than that of Guo Chong, especially in appeasing the people, and both have endured hardships and have great ambitions. Zhu Biao, an official like this, naturally likes it.
If you have great ambitions, you won't ruin your own future for money. After all, their path is already clear under Zhu Biao's light. In charge of the important powers of the court.
