Chapter 572
The three officials were stunned when they heard Zhang Hao's words so bluntly. Not only were they stunned, but even Zhu Huai-chan was stunned. If Zhang Hao did not have the identity of the imperial envoy, then there was nothing, but Zhang Hao was the imperial envoy now. In other words, if Zhang Hao's words were passed to the emperor, the three of them would be in trouble!
When Zhang Hao said this, Zhu Huai-chan suspected that he did it on purpose or that he really didn't understand the rules. Even if he saw this, he couldn't say it out directly.
"Sir, joking, even if you are poor, I don't think we'll say we don't have the money to invite you to dinner! You just came here, so why did we have to invite this welcoming banquet?" Xuan Yongchao's forehead was a little sweaty at this moment, but he still said to Zhang Hao with a smile.
"It's okay, whoever invites you is the same, I won't eat you anymore, I can't eat your meal, I can't eat it, I see the people in ragged clothes along the way, and it feels so uncomfortable when I think of it. It's not me that you three, you three have been here for so many years, what have you done?
I have been to many places, and I have never found that there are places poorer than Shaanxi. To say that the people are poor, it may be related to land. But I investigated and found that the population and land of Shaanxi are ranked in front of all provinces in the Ming Dynasty. Why are you so poor?” Zhang Hao said as he walked forward with his hands behind his back.
"Yes, yes, it's mainly the Tatars attacked the border, which makes the people on our side unable to farm with peace of mind!" Xuan Yongchao said with a wry smile.
"Yes, it was caused by the Tatars' attack on the border. In this way, since you don't go to their place for dinner, would you please go to my Qin Palace?" Zhu Huaizhen also asked immediately.
"That won't work. I'm going to go to your mansion tomorrow morning to officially visit. It's not appropriate to go like this and it's not in accordance with the rules!" Zhang Hao immediately said to Zhu Huaiyang.
"This, you!" Zhu Huaiyan was stunned when he heard this. It was unruly. You had done so many unruly things and said a lot of unruly words.
"Well, it's okay, I'll invite you. I have money. Last year, I distributed more than 1 million taels of silver in the workshop. I have money, a lot of it. The emperor knows. I spend money, the emperor doesn't care. You don't know. This time I was an imperial envoy and brought so many people here. Can you guess how much the emperor gave me?" Zhang Hao looked at them and asked.
"How many?" Zhu Huai-chan also asked along the way.
"It's only 50,000 taels. I said, "Your Majesty, are you sending the beggar? The emperor said, "Anyway, you have money, why don't you spend it?" I heard that it makes sense. Why should I keep it for me if I am so rich? Let's have dinner with me today. Don't worry, it must be very good!" Zhang Hao said to them with a smile.
At this time, several soldiers from the Jinyiwei guards carried Zhang Hao's tea set in.
"Let's go and have a tea and talk about what I'm here this time. There are a lot of things I'm here. Your Majesty is very worried about the situation in Shaanxi. He mainly received a lot of memorials and talked about the problems here!" Zhang Hao said to them.
"Oh, memorial?" Zhu Huai-chan heard this and looked at Zhang Hao in surprise.
"That's right, look at the good things the three of them did. The emperor is exempt from taxes, and they also collect taxes. Moreover, I don't know how many impeachment memorials are. The emperor took them out to me that day and I was shocked. It's impossible. Can you three be so brave?" Zhang Hao stopped at this moment, turned around and looked at them and said.
In fact, there is no such memorial at all. Zhang Hao said this on purpose.
"Slander, Mr. Lu An, this impossible thing. I admit that it is indeed not as good as other places in my governance in Shaanxi, but the Tatars in Shaanxi often come to harass me, so it is reasonable to be followed if they are slandering like this. I cannot agree to it!" Xuan Yongchao immediately said to Zhang Hao with a grievance.
But they were shocked and were all guessing who sent the memorial to the emperor and who was their subordinate who dared to betray this way?
Also, if the memorial is sent, why did the officials in the capital come back without any news?
Zhu Huai-chan was also surprised. He was also scared of what Zhang Hao just said. Many impeachment memorials came to Jiajing's desk. Is there any of his own business?
"Yes, Lu Anhou is a slander. I have never heard of such a thing in Shaanxi!" Zhu Huaiyang also said to Zhang Hao.
"Hey, don't worry, isn't this the emperor asked me to come and investigate? Don't worry, I will definitely not let you be wronged!" Zhang Hao said helplessly to them.
"Yes, yes, please ask the imperial envoy to cleanse us of grievances!" Liang Zhengxu, the chief censor, immediately said to Zhang Hao.
He is the chief censor and monitors the officials here. If such a problem really occurs, he will also be responsible. Of course, they are doing this now, just to confuse Zhang Hao.
"Well, go have a tea, I'm also in a dilemma. I had my own business to do, but I didn't expect that I would be sent here!" Zhang Hao said deliberately with a sigh, and then continued walking forward.
The three people behind looked at each other and knew that things were in trouble. Zhang Hao was not kind this time, otherwise, why would he not trust them so much?
Soon, Zhang Hao took them to the study room. Zhang Hao asked them to sit down and then started boiling water and making tea.
"Zhang Hao, I have this at home. I heard that it is very popular in the capital now. I have seen it in the Danfang before, so I also got one. When I was free, I also sat at home to have tea!" Zhu Huai-chan said with a smile at Zhang Hao.
"It's still a comfortable life for the King of Qin. It's hard for me to sit down and drink tea alone. There are too many things. I just wanted to make some money. I just wanted to make some money. Who knew that if His Majesty had nothing to do, I was afraid. I thought, after I finished the Tangshan work, I would stop doing it. I wouldn't go there, why did His Majesty ask me to do it!" Zhang Hao said to them with a smile.
"Mr. Lu An was joking. Who doesn't know that Mars. Lu An is the minister who His Majesty trusts the most. Now you have the Jinyiwei, the one you control is Shuntian Mansion, and the matter of salt and iron tea is in charge. How many people envy this?" Xuan Yongchao immediately said to Zhang Hao with a smile.
"Envy? My God, whoever envyes who comes, do you think this position is good? But this time I really need to trouble you three. This time, Your Majesty asked me to come and check the accounts. I actually want to go through a formality, but why do I need to get a few people back? So, you'd better recommend a few people to me.
In addition, tomorrow, I need to send out those account checkers, and every state government will send someone to them. At that time, you will send official documents to them. I need to investigate the accounts for ten years and ask them to hand over the account book to the account checkers. It will be a formality. After the investigation, they will come to Xi'an and I will go back!" Zhang Hao looked at Xuan Yongchao and said.
"How many people are you here? What do you mean by sir?" Xuan Yongchao looked at Zhang Hao without understanding.
"Oh, don't tell the matter so clearly, right? I don't believe that there are no corrupt officials in Shaanxi. You can get a few for me, so I'll be able to handle the job, right?" Zhang Hao immediately looked at Xuan Yongchao with dissatisfaction and said.
"Yes, yes, what the lord said is, the officials are slow to react!" Xuan Yongchao nodded immediately, and he became even more suspicious. What does Zhang Hao mean? He just kept people from thousands of miles away, but now he actually said that he was going through a formality? Can't believe it?
Zhu Huai-chan didn't believe it. He didn't believe that Zhang Hao was just coming to make a move, so he smiled and said, "If you do things like this, Your Majesty will deal with you!"
"What are you afraid of? I can't be busy. You said that the emperor can't send you, so you have to look for me. I just look at my youth and physical strength, so I'll let me come here to take a look?" Zhang Hao said indifferently.
"Well, but I heard the news that the emperor is going to deal with me this time. I wonder if it is true?" Zhu Huaiyang touched his beard and looked at Zhang Hao, while Zhang Hao looked at Zhu Huaiyang with a surprised look.
"Isn't it?" Zhu Huai-chan asked at Zhang Hao.
"Treat you? Haha, no, what does it mean? You want to deal with you, just like dealing with King Jin?" Zhang Hao laughed at this moment, looked at Zhu Huaiyang and said.
"Well, I heard that's the case!" Zhu Huai-chan responded to Zhang Hao's laughter with a smile.
"No, there is no such thing as this? The emperor just dealt with King Jin last year. That's because King Jin smuggled Pier Iron to the Tatars. You also know that the Tatars besieged the capital two years ago. What can you do if the King Jin hits the gun by himself? You have colluded with the Tatars?" Zhang Hao looked at the King of Qin and asked.
"Then no, no, Mr. Lu An, don't talk nonsense!" Zhu Huaizhen waved his hand and said as soon as he heard this.
"Isn't that all right? You didn't collude with the Tatars, what are you afraid of?" Zhang Hao looked at the King of Qin with contempt and said.
The King of Qin heard something was wrong. Did Jiajing know that he had contact with the Tatars?
But it is not right, because I mainly deal with the Tatars in business, and I contacted the Tatar army through merchants. Although I can ask for it, this also needs to be paid. No one knows about such a thing.
He is not King Jin. King Jin was caught by Zhang Hao. It was the first time Zhang Hao has come to Shaanxi. Where did he have any handle?
It is impossible to pass through the Jinyiwei here. The officials of the Jinyiwei themselves bribed them last year. They were on the same line with themselves. This year, even if they came less than half a month earlier than Zhang Hao, it would be impossible to find out what?
"It seems that those people from the capital are spreading it blindly!" King Qin said with a smile at this moment.
"However, the news about the King of Qin is very fast. Everyone knows the news in the capital, which is much faster than the news of our Jinyiwei!" Zhang Hao immediately smiled and said as he looked at the King of Qin.
