Chapter 61

The Scenery Out of Heavenly Prison

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xia Yuanji came to Jian Yi's house. The two Shangshu sat in the study room, looking at me, and I looked at you, all of them were in anger. Even during the Hongwu period, there was no such an immoral New Year.

"What do you think Xu Jingchang is trying to do? He insists on being in trouble with us?" Xia Yuanji sighed.

Jian Yi frowned, "I can't say it well, maybe he followed the above meaning?"

"No." Xia Yuanji shook his head, "If Your Majesty likes him to make trouble, he wouldn't have locked him in... In my opinion, this kid's bastard is either having any intention, he is simply bad, the evil that emerges from his bones, the innate sinister and evil, the unforgivable treacherous and cunning... Let me say, how could such a person as good as Wuyang Hou have this thing?"

Jian Yi rolled his eyes, "How do I know? Why don't you go down and ask yourself?"

Xia Yuanji was shocked and shook his head quickly, "Forget it, I want to live a few more years... I said Brother Yizhi, Your Majesty asked us to do our best to formulate a detailed charter to assist the Tongzheng Department to increase its annual income. What are you going to do?"

Jian Yi pondered: "What else can the Ministry of Personnel do? It's nothing more than supervising all officials, rectifying the administration of officials, and adding some staff to them at the same time."

Xia Yuanji also said: "There is no better way to the Ministry of Revenue. I thought about it for several days and was still confused and didn't know where to start."

Jian Yi pondered for a little while, "There is no way, why don't we go to Tianzhu!"

This time it was Xu Jingchang's turn to be stunned. These two Shangshu are recognized experts in government affairs. Can they not even know this?

It’s true that they have never done such a coordinated situation.

When Xu Jingchang heard the Jingchao, he immediately said, "Shangshu Jian, this is a good opportunity. How is Shangshu Jian planning to inspect all officials?"

The two of them looked at each other and gritted their teeth secretly. This kid is really difficult to deal with.

"Xu Tongzheng, are you quite happy?"

This kid turned the prison into Tongzhengsi.

Who can have this card?

But it seemed that this was not enough. The waiting people first saw a burly man leading a white horse out of the Heavenly Prison. A leopard skin cushion was covered with a white horse saddle.

Jian Yi's old face turned dark and coughed lightly, "Sometimes, officials cherish the people and ask for their orders. This is true that they will be praised by the scholars and the court will be kind and lenient as they please."

"Shut up!" Xia Yuanji gritted her teeth and said angrily: "I'm just confused. I shouldn't have gone out that day. I'll just lock it in with you."

Jian Yi thought: "According to the convention, unqualified officials are divided into eight types, namely greed, cruel, inaction, impetuous, old, sick, impetuous, weak... or dismissal, or demoted, or ordered to retire."

Power is something that people who should hold power do not master, and those who should not master it will master it... After all, power hates vacuum.

Xu Jingchang turned his head, looked at the two of them, and immediately smiled, "Happy New Year, I am just having fun in suffering. I am not like you guys. I feel that the burden on my shoulders is too heavy and I will definitely not be able to complete it, so I am in jail in advance, and I am familiar with life in prison."

This bastard didn't come out at all!

It turns out that you are trying to be the Marquis of Taiping?

That's right, Xu Jingchang is still in the Heavenly Prison.

Xu Jingchang, the envoy of Tongzheng, was afraid that he would not be able to complete the tasks assigned by the emperor, so he was willing to stay in the prison for the New Year... Now the palace is in chaos.

Hurry up and draw up a strategy and invite Xu Tongzheng out. Otherwise, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, we will not be able to see Xu Tongzheng. Your Majesty’s thunderous anger, we will go in!

During the good annual holiday, the ministers even threw the major affairs of inheriting the family line. They got up early and went to bed late, and were even more busy than going to court... Every department and every official office have formulated plans.

When they arrived, the situation here was very different in the five days. There were actually a lot of flowers and potted plants outside the cell. Xu Jingchang was taking care of a podium arhat.

And before he knew it, Xu Jingchang made plans and strategies through the officials who were in charge of the government, and really gave the power of the prime minister.

Jian Yi thought slightly, "I understand what you mean. I will add these things this year to the Beijing Chase."

Xu Jingchang rolled his eyelids and said, "Shangshu Xia, your aunt is also the queen?"

But in some places, such as Jiangxi, there are too many scholars and officials, and they can all evade taxes. In such places, if you cannot collect money, the officials will be praised by the scholars and the great master of Qingtian who cares about the people!

Even if Zhu Di went, he didn't come out.

Xu Jingchang's face suddenly turned dark. Although some places were hit by disasters, they really couldn't collect taxes and needed relief. This was natural.

After all, they made so many big moves in Yongle Dynasty, but time is in a hurry.

When Xia Yuanji saw this scene, he couldn't help it.

Moreover, according to Xu Jingchang's idea, similar to an annual development plan, it must have goals, work priorities, and supporting measures... This is a systematic project, and it is really a bit difficult for scholars like Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji who read the Four Books and Five Classics. Of course, if you give them another three to five years, you might be able to do it.

On the back of the horse, a young man in a kirin suit sat, with a majestic and majestic appearance.

Xia Yuanji was shocked, "I know too, but these matters need to be coordinated by the Ministry of Justice and the Inspectorate. I think the thirteen censors can supervise the local government and deal with several major cases and attack local officials. We can't suffer in the court. They are free and carefree in the local area, and there is no reason! Yes, Brother Yizhi?"

It was Xia Yuanji's turn, and Xu Jingchang also said: "Shangshu Xia, although your Ministry of Revenue is only focused on land taxes, taxes and salt taxes, how much the local area has retained, how much money it has been spent, what has been done... It cannot be allowed to be the local government to be the master. The Ministry of Revenue of the court must settle it. If it owes too much and does not have the luck to the court, it will be punished. If the local area retains, there must be a legitimate expense. For example, building bridges and roads to take care of people's livelihood. If all the officials below are fed with their own pockets, they must be severely punished and not borrowed!"

"It's done, Xu Tongzheng, let's go back and draft a strategy... Are you going home or staying here?"

Xia Yuanji was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Xu Jingchang meant. If you don’t have a queen who is an aunt, you dare to imitate me? Are you not afraid of losing your head?

Lao Xia was really angry, but he was helpless.

If local officials, the inner court eunuchs, and the martial arts and Jinyiwei take power, the world will be in chaos.

This thing is really annoying.

Jian Yi had his old face tense and simply said, "We can't write it."

At dusk, the big lock of the Tianzhuo was opened and the chains were removed... Although people had been coming and going through the Jiaomen, how could Xu Datongzheng go to the small gate?

Moreover, in order to welcome Xu Jingchang out, Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Gaoxu, Zhu Zhanji, and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Cheng Guo, and the Senator of Wu Shan, have been waiting for a long time.

The two ministers of Shangshu were forced to visit again by him and came to Tianzhu again.

The court officials went to the Tianzhu like a lantern to see Xu Jingchang.

The queen was sad about her nephew's experience. His highness spoke out for her cousin. His Majesty was full of resentment and cursed people every day... All the pressure fell on the officials.

Xu Jingchang smiled and said, "Stay here, after all, I'll stay inside, and everyone can still remember me, but I can't say it's right to go home."

"Xu Tongzheng, I think you are simply a talented person. You are suitable for being an official when you were born. In the future, we must join forces to assist Your Majesty, achieve great achievements, and leave a name in history!" Xia Yuanji said excitedly.

What's the point?

"Shangshu Jian, I will tell you clearly that this year's main task is to enrich finances, and everything must be centered around this center. Whoever dares to ignore the overall situation is to fight against the national policy!"

You're lying!

Xu Jingchang thought for a while and immediately said: "We can add people's livelihood projects...such as people's livelihood and commerce prosperity, among which tax collection is particularly important. We must not be able to pay money or complete tasks. We can still be considered a good official, right?"

Faced with Lao Xia's flattery, Xu Jingchang was very calm, "I'm really unintentional in the officialdom... I'm so troubled, I just want anyone to impeach me and let me go home to be a marquis, be quiet and comfortable, that's the day of a god."

"Shangshu Jian, Shangshu Xia, Your Majesty is to enrich the national treasury and improve people's livelihood. What we need to do is to increase the annual income and facilitate merchants. This is the core of everything. On the Ministry of Personnel, all officials, especially local officials, must be required to not bully merchants, set up private cards, and not to ask for bribes at will, which will affect trade and trade. In a word, merchants are the source of wealth of the court, not their leeks!"

Jian Yi frowned and nodded vigorously, "I understand."

I was busy until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the sixth department and the Inspectorate's plan was finally completed.

"Stop talking nonsense, Xu Tongzheng, what should you do if you want us?"

Xu Jingchang was stunned and shook his head and said, "It's not what I want you to do, it's how you plan to assist His Majesty. I want you to write a detailed charter. It's been several days. I'm still waiting for you to finish it. Your Majesty will pass it. I can leave the prison and go home to sleep comfortably! Do you think I'm willing to stay in it?"

Jian Yi was also inspired. After all, he agreed with this kind of thing that could greatly expand the authority of the six departments of the court.

Isn’t this Xu Jingchang?

When everyone saw again, it was the one who led the horse that was Jing'an Hou Wang Zhong!

The Marquis leads the horse!

You're too much!

"Your surnamed Wang, you are shameless!" Zhu Neng blushed. The noble's face was considered to be a loss!

When Wang Zhong heard this, he raised his head higher, "I feel proud of my face when I lead a good man!"
