Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 368
The sign in Zhu Biao's hand was the one that Mao Xiang gave to Liu Guyu. He also knew the traces of Jinyiwei scattered all over the place.

Putting away the commander sign, Zhu Biao looked at Lian Lianqi in front of him: "Think of a way to get the steward of the post office in Luzhou to come to you for a drink, check out the post office here and the primary school, middle school, government school, build things, and then hand over For you bosses. The more evidence the better."

Only one post office was built, but falsely claimed that there were three. This means that someone in Luzhou Prefecture is seeking money, and there are filth and evil people hiding here.

Lianlianqi is only responsible for obeying orders and fulfilling her own mission. She doesn't ask too much about the rest. They only recognize the badge of the commander, after all, the badge cannot be imitated.

This must be a big boss from the capital.

Zhu Biao said: "Lianlianqi, ask Dandanyi to check the government office here. If someone asks me what I am doing tonight, how should I answer?"

"Sleep with my slave family." Lian Lianqi replied.

Then Zhu Biao opened the door and walked out. Zhu Di looked inside and found that the woman was lying on the bed with her back to the door.Zhu Di muttered, "It's over so quickly, even my eldest brother doesn't have time for a cup of tea."

"Of course it has to be fast, it's not appropriate to take a long time." Zhu Biao replied frankly.

Zhu Di looked at Zhu Biao's back, and murmured in his heart: "Brother is really amazing, how can he sleep so calmly, he doesn't feel that he is a bit fast?"

After leaving Wanhualou, Zhu Biao returned to the second floor of the inn, and Sanbao opened the door for him.

"The tea has just been brewed." Shen Zhishi came over to offer a cup of tea: "Where did you go?"

"Go to Wanhualou to find a girl." Zhu Biao turned and closed the door, walked to the table and sat down, picked up the teacup, "Aren't you angry?"

Zhu Biao asked her in surprise.

"At this time, you are still teasing me." Shen Zhishi rolled his eyes at him, and took a face towel from the table to help him wipe his face: "It's getting late, and the bed has already been made."

Zhu Biao patted her head, and stroked her cheeks with his fingers: "There are people from our imperial court in Wanhualou, who have been stepping up efforts to investigate corruption. I didn't expect this to happen again. If they are caught, they shouldn't." Appease."

Shen knew if he had put away his things, sat next to Zhu Biao and helped him untie his clothes, and said: "A high salary does not necessarily make you cheap, but a low salary will definitely lead to greed. The court needs manpower right now, so you can turn a blind eye to some insignificant things."

During the Hongwu period, the salary was indeed low.Zhu Biao has thought about this, there are always corrupt officials here and there that can't be killed.

"Corrupt officials can't be killed. If you kill the old ones, there will be new ones. The salary given by the court is not enough. Do you think they will give up? They will pick from the common people, and the ultimate victims are still the common people. So Your Highness should think about this matter carefully." .”

"Ah."

Zhu Biao nodded, seeing that she had put some precious banknotes in the box she brought, and said strangely: "Why did you put the precious banknotes given to you in there again? Use what you need."

"I want to use what His Highness gave me, but it's not wrong for them to give me money according to the usual practice. Who made me their boss."

This is the spontaneous contribution of those in charge of Shen's family all the way here, so she put away the treasures and silver and put them into Zhu Biao's wooden box.

Zhu Biao looked at his box, and added a few hundred taels out of thin air. If Shen Qiancheng knew that her daughter had put all the money in the old Zhu's pocket, she would be so mad.

The next day, at noon, a group of people left Luzhou Mansion to continue northward.

At the door not far from the inn, Lian Lianqi came out of Wanhualou, walked past Zhu Biao, touched him deliberately, and stuffed him with a note.

Standing at the door, Zhu Di looked at Shen Zhiwu who was standing with him, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, did you see that I am facing you, and you are not even curious about where we went last night. If you ask, I will Answer truthfully."

Zhu Di smiled heartily.

"He, what he's doing is business." Shen Zhishi looked at Zhu Di and Wei Shouzheng and said, "I'll ask them to prepare any dry food you need."

"Sister-in-law, I don't choose, but you, just watch and prepare. It's best to have meat and wine."

Zhu Di knew her before, and now he has become acquainted with her a lot in the past few days, and he would joke a few words when he was on the road.

Zhu Biao unfolded the note, and there were a few short words written on it, about the matter of the Daming Post Office in Luzhou Prefecture, which had been handed over to the local Huangmingwei Pavilion for a secret investigation.

Zhu Biao took a look. Now the number of Jinyiwei is increasing, and some of them are working as spies in Huangmingwei Hall and other places.

But it doesn't seem to be enough, maybe it can be expanded.

Historically, eunuchs were used in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Eunuchs were not cronies of the bureaucracy system. At the same time, they were highly dependent on imperial power and lacked blood inheritance.

Generally speaking, the initial stage is quite suitable.

When the country was founded, Lao Zhu's Jinyiwei also served as a guard of honor in the early days, with only about 500 people, and their duty was to "inspect and arrest".

Now it is the supervisory officials who don't care about the affairs of the common people.

Afterwards, the Huangming Guard Hall was established. These people ostensibly maintained law and order in the village, conveyed imperial orders, and helped send and receive letters and items from the post office.

In fact, after night, they manage the injustices of the people, collect and sort out first-hand information, and send it to the capital.

Zhu Biao looked at the current Jinyiwei, which has changed a lot from history.

Such as court battle.

In history, Jinyiwei had a royal staff, this torture was only for literati and bureaucrats, ordinary people couldn't even enter the imperial city, and they were not qualified to suffer the torture of Jinyiwei.

In the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years, only a few officials were beaten to death, and half of them were elderly and in poor health.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were only a dozen or so people who died because of court battles.

Because if too many people were killed, the group of civil servants would never give up.At that time, the Beizhen Governor's Department, which was in charge of imperial edicts and prisons, actually had only five guards. Judicial functions were revoked once when Zhu Yuanzhang was in power.

Now Zhu Biao has increased Jinyiwei, but the judicial function is only part of it.

They have been hacked the worst in history, mainly because the public opinion position is in the hands of Confucian scholars, so they can be hacked in any way.

How to write an article depends entirely on the pen of a civil servant.

If you know it on the ground, it is actually the landlords and squires in the village who are most harmful to the people, not the Jinyiwei in the later period.

Today, the Huangming Guard Hall is an extension of the imperial power going to the countryside. The officials here will turn the door to clear up cases for the people, and will suppress the gentry and landlords.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao made a decisive decision in his mind that he would continue to expand and improve the spy organization in the future, and send the imperial power to the countryside.

Learning these things in elementary schools requires the proper management and supervision of the court, otherwise they will do some unwarranted things.

Zhu Biao collected the note, got on his horse, and along the way told Du Dongting and Wei Shouzheng about the situation in various places, the benefits of building straight roads, and the management of the Yellow River and Yangtze River.

On the endless plain, poplar treetops, the setting sun just arrived there, and the farmland on both sides had already been sown.

There was a man sitting in Zhu Biao's arms, and while reining in the horse, he said, "It won't be long before the flood season of the great river, if we don't take care of it, the people and the court will be wasted.

For example, the old course of the Yellow River is very depressed now. Although there are disaster relief storage warehouses in various places, the places where floods have occurred are very depressed.If it is you, what to do. "Zhu Biao glanced at Wei Shouzheng and Du Dongting.

　Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone, I hope that friends from all over the north and south will have a happy life.
