Chapter 156

Tu Qiao impeached the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, which shocked all the ministers. They were all thinking about what happened to Tu Qiao. He has not impeached officials like this in recent years. Why have officials so frequently impeached officials recently, and they are often prefect and prefect, which is a death-lost.

The Hejian Prefecture is also within the capital. Now I heard that Tu Qiao has gone to Daming Prefecture again. Everyone is thinking that it is trouble. The prefect of Daming Prefecture is probably going to be in trouble again.

Soon, Jiajing received the impeachment memorial, which was very surprised, but also very happy that Tu Qiao was still able to do things, and now he has impeached another prefect.

Soon, Jiajing gave Lu Bing an order to arrest the prefect of Hejian Prefecture and come to the capital. The Ministry of Justice, Censorate, and Dali Temple were investigated to find out the problem of the prefect of Hejian Prefecture.

In the evening, Zhang Hao returned to the Danfang, and Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said, "Zhang Hao, I heard that those officials paid the money?"

"Ah? Well, I paid the money, Lu Bing gave it?" Zhang Hao reacted as soon as he heard it and immediately asked Jiajing.

"Well, I gave the money, I gave it 1.2 million taels. What about you, you have more than 2 million taels here, do you want to give it to me?" Jiajing smiled and said, looking at Zhang Hao. Now he has a lot of money and has enough confidence recently.

"Why, why should we give you the money from Shuntian Mansion?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing in surprise and asked.

"Hey, I'm borrowing!" Jiajing immediately emphasized borrowing money when he heard Zhang Hao say this.

"I won't borrow it anymore, I'm afraid you won't be able to pay it back!" Zhang Hao immediately shook his head and said.

"You, I am the king of a country. You actually said I can't afford to pay it back?" Jiajing was so angry. Isn't this too despised himself?

"Don't you know how much the Ministry of Revenue costs in a year? You have already owed me 3 million taels of silver. It's almost half a year since the Ministry of Revenue's income. Do you still borrow money? Don't borrow it!" Zhang Hao waved his hand and said.

"No, no, don't borrow?" Jiajing never dreamed that Zhang Hao actually said he would not borrow.

"Well, if you don't borrow, our Shuntian Mansion is very poor. Now the people are suffering. I am still thinking about how to build a house for them. Today I counted that there are about 73,200 houses that need to be rebuilt. If you use acres of bricks to build a house, the cost is mainly on tiles and wood, and lime,

I asked someone to go to the countryside today and asked. The cost of building a four-bedroom house costs about 15 taels of silver, which requires more than 1 million taels of silver. If you want to count the blue bricks below, it is estimated that 2 taels of silver will be needed, and a total of about 1.4 million taels will be needed. So, what I mean is that people will be encouraged to build houses next year!" Zhang Hao stood there, looking at Jiajing and said.

"You spent so much money to build a house for the people?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao in shock and said.

"Of course, the people can't just live in ruins, right? This is the capital, that's it? My Ming Dynasty was at least the country of the Celestial Empire. Such a house is so shameless. You have to build a house.

Moreover, if the emperor wants to exchange for the support of the people for the Ming Dynasty, they need to improve their living conditions and living conditions! If the people in the capital support our Ming Dynasty, then the people in other places will also start to support them slowly!" Zhang Hao nodded very seriously and said.

"Are you stupid? There has never been such a precedent. The court built houses for the people, you kid!" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said unhappily.

"Then let this be the first example. The people are like this, and you don't care. That's your people!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and said, "and went back and said.

"You, oh, Zhang Hao, money is not spent like this. Next year, your Shuntian Mansion will need to distribute seeds, farm tools, etc. It requires money, but it doesn't need so much!" Jiajing advised Zhang Hao and said.

"I know, I have calculated it all. I have reserved this money and I will start purchasing now. This time we will purchase 200,000 hoes, 20 shovels, and 20 plows, all of which are sent to the people. The seeds are also being purchased. I have about 5 million mu of farmland in Shuntian Mansion. Each mu of seeds requires 8 kilograms of seeds, which is 40 million kilograms of seeds, which requires 40 million kilograms of seeds, which requires 400,000 dan. Now I have purchased them and have signed a purchase contract with several shops. It is expected that before the New Year, all the seeds will enter the warehouse!" Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Hao very seriously and said.

"Hiss!" Jiajing was shocked when he heard what Zhang Hao said. This kid was preparing now. He is a military general. How could he know this?

"How do you know that you are going to prepare now?" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and asked.

"I have money, I will spend it. If I don't spend it, you will borrow it again, hehe, so I'll spend it first!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing with a smile.

"Hey, you bastard!" Jiajing understood what was going on when he heard this. He was afraid that he would borrow it.

"Anyway, I won't borrow this 2 million. In a few days, after the county magistrates are in place, I will go to patrol the reservoirs and canals. What should be repaired will be repaired. If the money is spent, I can't give you this money anyway!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing proudly and said.

"Zhang Hao, that's 2 million, not 200,000!" Jiajing was anxious and said to Zhang Hao.

"I know, this 2 million is from our Shuntian Mansion. Why do you think about this? Besides, lending you is a favor, not lending you is a duty, and having to lend you must borrow it. I have already borrowed 3 million. Do you still want it?" Zhang Hao stared at Jiajing and said.

"Hey, you, I!" Jiajing pointed at Zhang Hao at this moment, and didn't know how to refute it, so he looked at Lu Fang. When Lu Fang saw Jiajing staring at him, he felt a big head in an instant.

"Tell me!" Jiajing stared at Lu Fang and said.

"Your Majesty, what Zhang Hao said is not unreasonable. Isn't Hejian Mansion impeached today? The people are dissatisfied with our Ming Dynasty. It would be great if Zhang Hao could improve the people's understanding of the Ming Dynasty!" Lu Fang said with a tough forehead and looked at Jiajing.

When Jiajing heard this, he began to calm down.

"Your Majesty, I'm helping you to comfort the people. Are you still thinking about my money?" Zhang Hao also started to speak as he looked at Jiajing.

"I don't care about your money, well, but you're right, you always need to change slowly!" After hearing this, Jiajing also looked at Zhang Hao and said. When Zhang Hao heard that he agreed, he stopped talking, but continued to settle the score. Jiajing returned to the platform and sat down.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. Actually, I still admire Lu An Hou a little, but few officials will think of the people!" Lu Fang came to Jiajing and said to Jiajing.

"I know, I just thought, how good would it be if I had more people like Zhang Hao in the Ming Dynasty? Can the people still resist? Do Tatars dare to kill the Great Wall? What a pity, there is only one!" Jiajing said as he watched Zhang Hao settle the score there, and couldn't help but smile.

"Yes, Your Majesty, look at this child, although he is not very smart, he is really doing things for the emperor, but there are not many like this!" Lu Fang said to Jiajing. Jiajing nodded and waved his hand to Lu Fang.

Now he began to worry about how to manage the Hejian Mansion and who will take over it. He is a fourth-rank official. If he is transferred, he is corrupt again. What should he do?

There are also the county magistrates of the counties under Hejian Prefecture. Are they corrupt officials? Should they organize them together? Jiajing was very worried at this moment. No one was available. He dared not use the people recommended by the cabinet now. He mobilized the prefect from other places and did not know if they were honest officials. He still needed to investigate.

"Come on, I'll tell you that Li Qiu, the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel, came here!" Jiajing thought for a while and said.

"Yes, the emperor!" Lu Fang heard it and went out immediately. Li Qiu was also worried. The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the two heads of the Ministry of Revenue, and the two doctors of the Ministry of Revenue, all of them said hello, and even the three cabinet masters said hello. Now he didn't know what to do. Li Qiu had heard of the people they recommended, and he was not a good official.

After receiving the notice, Li Qiu went straight to the Danfang, feeling very nervous. He knew that the emperor was looking for him to go to him, 80% of it was related to the official position of the Ministry of Revenue. If the emperor was not satisfied with this matter, then the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel would definitely not be his own.

Soon, Li Qiu arrived outside the Danfang. After listening to Xuan, he immediately went in and saluted Jiajing.

"Give it a seat!" Jiajing said to Lu Fang. Lu Fang immediately moved the stool. Li Qiu hurried over and smiled at Lu Fang.

"The Right Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, can anyone choose?" Jiajing asked first.

"When you go back to the emperor, there are five candidates!" Li Qiu bowed and said.

"So many candidates, okay, let me tell you who they are!" Jiajing asked when he heard this.

Li Qiu didn't dare to hide it. He said the two people he chose in front and put the three people recommended by Yan Song and the others behind. After hearing the names of the three people behind, Jiajing also frowned. These three people had seen them in the notebook given by Lu Bing, and they were not good officials.

"That's how you recommend someone?" Jiajing looked at Li Qiu and asked. When Li Qiu heard this, he immediately knelt down.

"Reply to the emperor, the five people are all fourth-rank officials in terms of grades, or third-rank officials, and have been in office for five years. They can be transferred, but they still need to be investigated!" Li Qiu knelt there and bowed his hand and said.

"Who do you recommend yourself?" Jiajing stared at Li Qiu and said.

"Return to the emperor, I recommend Fang Dun, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing. During his tenure as the chief censor a few years ago, he was upright and did not join forces with other officials in the court. He also impeached many officials!" Li Qiu immediately bowed and said!

"Fang Dun, I know! Well, that's right! You are the left minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Now you are in charge of the selection of talents in the Ministry of Personnel. You should have your own opinions, rather than obey the recommendations of other ministers!" Jiajing looked at Li Qiu and said, knowing that the people behind were all from those ministers in the cabinet.
