Start Summoning West Factory Flower

Chapter 192
Kyoto, Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zheng Ming sat on the wide chair, looking at the memorial in his hand.

This is a strategy written by Zhang Lingzheng and other cabinet ministers based on the cultivator training system he proposed.

The main content has not changed, but many details have been added.

After Zheng Ming read it, he nodded slightly and said, "That's right, let's implement it according to this."

Zhang Lingzheng and the others are all old ministers of Dali, they are very cautious in handling the government affairs, and they are also very sophisticated in the details of making up, many details are not even considered by Zheng Ming.

"Your Majesty, according to the plan, the construction of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and the Sage Academy will start next month, but money is an issue~"

Zhang Lingzheng looked at Zheng Ming and said in a low voice.

Zheng Ming frowned slightly, and said, "Didn't you say that the national treasury can support the construction of five holy places?"

"Ahem, there are only a million taels of silver left in the national treasury. If all of them are used up, the food and pay for the frontier army will not be enough in the future." Zhang Lingzheng said a little bit of a thief.

The food and salaries of the frontier army had already been distributed to the two generals' mansions.

The emperor did not send hungry soldiers. When Zheng Qingsong personally conquered Bailianzong, he had already anticipated the situation of the frontier army, so he allocated the food and salaries several months in advance.

Zheng Ming glanced at him, but still didn't understand what he meant.

Yesterday, a batch of gold and silver was shipped from Bailianzong, and it is now in his inner treasury. This old guy is obviously eyeing this batch of gold and silver.

"Little Fuzi, take my brand to the internal treasury to transfer 300,000 taels of silver to enrich the national treasury."

The reason why he put these gold and silver in the internal treasury was not to keep them for his own use, but because he was afraid that some moths would be greedy for ink in the treasury.

"Cao Zhengchun, arrange for the people in the East Factory to keep an eye on this batch of silver. Anyone who dares to reach out will take it directly."

"Your servant obeys." Xiao Fuzi and Cao Zhengchun responded.

Zheng Ming raised his head and looked at Zhang Lingzheng again. Seeing his leisurely look, he immediately became angry.

This old guy is a fine person, as the contact time has grown, this old guy seems to have grasped his temper.

"There are a lot of moths in the hall. As the chief assistant, shouldn't you deal with them?" He said suddenly.

Zhang Lingzheng's expression changed, and he lowered his eyebrows immediately.

"Your Majesty, please speak clearly."

Zheng Ming took out a memorial from the desk and handed it to him, saying, "Let's have a look."

Zhang Lingzheng opened the memorial, his face became serious.

This memorial is not generally thick, and the content in it is even more extraordinary.

The memorial was reported by the Procuratorate, and all the records on it were corrupt officials, most of which were found out when Zheng Qingsong was in power, but at that time Zheng Qingsong was busy dealing with Bailianzong all day long, and didn't bother to pay attention to these Corrupt officials.

Now that Zheng Ming is in charge, naturally he won't keep these bastards.

"A total of 140 three, all of whom are officials from the fourth grade or above."

"Hehe, the most interesting thing is that there is also a current cabinet minister, Mr. Shoufu, do you find it interesting?"

Zheng Ming looked at Zhang Lingzheng with shining eyes.

No official is not corrupt, and there is no fish in the clean.

Zheng Ming also knew that corrupt officials could never be killed. Even in the former Shanhai County, several corrupt officials could be found out every year, let alone the huge dynasty.

But greed is not the same as being greedy. There is such a person who is at most earning some extra money and will not affect the overall situation. He can turn a blind eye to it.

But there are some people who just want money and don't care about life, and dare to reach out for everything.

There are definitely more than these 140 corrupt officials in Dali, but those who can be presented to Zheng Ming are all big tigers.

Zhang Lingzheng looked at the list above, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

The cabinet minister that Zheng Ming mentioned was naturally not him. If it was him, it would be absolutely impossible for him to stand here now.

But there are many people involved with him, including his fellow countrymen, his disciples, and even his own nephew.

"Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty!" He knelt down in front of Zheng Ming.

The corners of Zheng Ming's mouth curled up slightly.

Let you relax, let you act, and see if I won't scare you to death.

Is Zhang Lingzheng guilty?

Yes, and there are many.

It is absolutely impossible to be the chief assistant of the cabinet if there is no dark thing under his ass.

However, since Zheng Qingsong allowed Zhang Lingzheng to be the chief assistant of the cabinet for 20 years, it shows that Zheng Qingsong can tolerate Zhang Lingzheng's problems.

Zheng Ming can also tolerate it.

Zhang Lingzheng was seasoned and cautious, now that the court still needed him to stabilize, Zheng Ming would naturally not deal with him.

He just wanted to scare Zhang Lingzheng.

"I forgive you for your innocence, get up." Zheng Ming said softly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness." Zhang Lingzheng stood up tremblingly.

Zheng Ming said again: "Your nephew, I gave him his life, but I gave him all the money he got, and if you don't have a penny, you, the chief minister of the cabinet, will go to the Meridian Gate with him."

"The old minister obeys the order, Your Majesty is benevolent."

"I don't need to say what the rest of the people should do." Zheng Ming said.

"The old minister understands that the old minister will summon the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Procuratorate to arrest them all." Zhang Lingzheng said in a deep voice.

"Well, go ahead, the Audit Office will cooperate with you." Zheng Ming said casually.

Corrupt officials must not be kept. Not only must they all be taken down, but their homes must also be ransacked. The Procuratorate is responsible for ransacking their homes.

Although the inheritance of Bailianzong is enough for him to squander for a while, he will not think it is too much money.

……

As Zheng Ming's will to kill Xin Yuanchen and others spread throughout the world, the eyes of all major forces were all focused on Dali Jingdu.

The first ones to come are some warriors from the rivers and lakes in Dali. They like to join in the fun, and they will go wherever there is excitement.

The demise of Bailianzong was a catastrophe for the Jianghu forces in Dali, especially the imperial court's suppression of the Jianghu forces who had taken refuge in Bailianzong, which directly reduced the number of sects in Dali by [-]%.

There are more than a dozen sects that Yuhuatian led the Procuratorate to destroy, and they were all powerful sects.

Today's rivers and lakes are much quieter than before, but even so, many warriors come to Kyoto to join in the fun.

In the morning of this day, Zheng Ming slipped out of the palace after the court, and walked along the streets of Kyoto with Cao Zhengchun and Xiao Fuzi.

"Are there any interesting places in the capital city?" Zheng Ming asked.

It's rare for him to come out, so he naturally wants to have fun.

Ever since he returned to Kyoto from Shanhai County, he hasn't had time to really take a good look around the city of Kyoto.

At the beginning, he was busy with Zheng Qingsong's funeral and enthronement, then he went to Bailianzong, and after returning from Bailian, he was busy with political affairs all day long.

Now that he finally found some free time, he couldn't help but go out for a stroll.

Cao Zhengchun lowered his voice and said, "My lord, if you want to say that the busiest place in the capital is Fengwu Tower."

"Feng Wu Lou!" Zheng Ming's eyes lit up.

Listening to the name seems to have a little meaning.

Is the surname Huang!

"Go, go and have a look."

Afterwards, the three of them headed towards the Fengwu Tower, but after entering the Fengwu Tower, Zheng Ming was a little disappointed.

This Fengwu Tower is not the place he imagined at all, its surname is not Huang, but Jiu.

That's right, this is a restaurant, a relatively large restaurant.

There are wine and food, storytellers, and many Jianghu warriors and literati and poets.

He didn't even think about it, would Cao Zhengchun dare to recommend a place surnamed Huang to him?
The lobby on the first floor was full of people, and there were even a lot of table sharing, and the small cubicle next to it was already full.

On the stage, there was also a thin storyteller talking endlessly.

"If you want to talk about the origin of this old celestial master, it would be amazing. The old celestial master came from Qiyun Mountain and lived in Qiyun Immortal Land. He is a contemporary celestial master in the Tianshi Mansion. He is omnipotent in heaven and earth~~~~"

Zheng Ming stood in the hall, listening to the storyteller's words, feeling a little puzzled.

It is true that the old heavenly master is powerful, but it would be an exaggeration to say that heaven and earth are omnipotent.

However, storytellers in Jianghu like to exaggerate the facts, just like headline parties.

"Are there many rumors about the old Heavenly Master in Jianghu?"

"Many, rumors of the old heavenly master are spreading everywhere in the Jianghu, and some even say that the old heavenly master is a god in the sky." Cao Zhengchun replied.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, but didn't pay too much attention to it.

This kind of thing is inevitable, from the moment the old master made a move, it was destined to spread all over the world.

And this is not a bad thing. When the Tianshi Mansion is built, it will be a good time to take advantage of this wave of fame to harvest a wave of good seedlings.

"My lord, I'm sorry, there are no seats in the lobby. Would you like to go to the private room on the second floor?" A shop waiter came up to welcome him and said.

Zheng Ming raised his head and looked towards the second floor, raised his eyebrows, and said, "No need, I have a few acquaintances on the second floor, and I happened to go grab a glass of wine."

"Uh!"

The waiter in the shop was slightly stunned, but still enthusiastically led Zheng Ming up to the second floor.

"Monk Tongming, scholar Jianyu, long time no see!" Zheng Ming looked at the three people in the private room and said with a smile.

When Monk Tongming and Fei Jian saw Zheng Ming, they stood up abruptly, with expressions of disbelief.

Pei Jingyue next to her looked at the two of them suspiciously.

"See you~~"

Just as they were about to salute, Zheng Ming waved his hands and said, "Forget it, there aren't so many vulgar etiquettes outside."

Fei Jian came to his senses, immediately moved away from his seat, and said, "My lord, please take your seat."

Zheng Ming sat down and said, "You guys sit too, there is no need to be formal."

Fei Jian and Tong Ming sat beside Zheng Ming nervously.

In the past, when Zheng Ming was the king of Shanhai County, they could still remain calm in front of Zheng Ming, but now that Zheng Ming is the Emperor of Dali, and he also destroyed Bailianzong, they felt very nervous sitting in front of Zheng Ming.

On the other hand, Pei Jingyue didn't know Zheng Ming's identity, so she was full of curiosity,
She looked at Fei Jian with doubts in her eyes, but Fei Jian just shook his head slightly and did not speak.

"Cao Zhengchun, go and ask for two jugs of good wine and some side dishes." Zheng Ming ordered.

"Are you also here to join in the fun?"

He asked Fei Jian again.

"Master Hui, we haven't met the Grand Master, so we want to gain some insight." Fei Jian replied.

Not only has he never met the great master, before Zheng Qingsong personally conquered the Bailian sect, he had never heard of the existence of a great master in Da Li.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, and said, "Your cultivation seems to have improved a lot."

"Two years ago in the capital, thanks to senior Ye Nanxin's guidance, my cultivation has improved." Fei Jian said.

It's more than just progress. Two years ago, Fei Jian was only at the fourth rank, but now he has broken through to the first rank. This qualification is far beyond his peers.

Monk Tongming and Pei Jingyue next to him are both third rank.
