The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 325 Jia Min has a lot to do
Under normal circumstances, the morning court would end within an hour.

However, sometimes, this time will become particularly short or very long.

At this time, it was when the emperor was in a particularly good mood and when he was in a particularly bad mood.

When you are in a particularly good mood, the emperor will allow whoever plays anything, as long as it is not too much.

When I'm in a particularly bad mood, no one is allowed to play anything, so it's fast.

In both cases, there are also those who procrastinate the morning morning for a long time.

If the emperor is in a good mood, he will also chat with the ministers after discussing the business to show his affinity and let the ministers know that the emperor is actually a lovely person.

When the emperor was in a bad mood, he would prolong the morning court.However, at this time, it is time for any minister to be scolded.

Therefore, when encountering such a situation, the ministers are very nervous.

More experienced ministers will drink as little water as possible before going to court.Because I don't know when the court will end, so if the morning time is too long and I can't go to the bathroom in the middle, I will suffer when I encounter internal urgency.

Therefore, the phenomenon of peeing pants occasionally occurs.

Most of the time, the atmosphere in the morning court is rather serious.However, when the emperor was in a good mood, he would joke with his officials or discuss some lighter topics.

Today the emperor seems to be more happy, the official business is over, the ministers have no more to play, and they haven't said to retire.

Therefore, those who are more savvy will know what the emperor is going to talk about.

"Loves, you already know about Jiang Ming's impeachment of Pu Kuidu Si Jia Min, tell me, what should we do about it?"

How to do?What do you propose?Who knows what you're going to do?
Bukui is a place that doesn't shit, and it's a small capital, so you can play it as soon as you play it. Why do you want us to discuss such a trivial matter?
Besides, even if we discuss it, what's the use?Isn't it up to you?
Seeing that everyone was silent, Emperor Yuanheng began to roll the roll.

"Hubu, last time you said that the drought in Henan required money. Now, Jiang Mingqian's book said that Jia Min will definitely lose when he fights against the four major tribes. It seems that the tribute money will not come up. Your disaster relief money Is it settled?"

Why did you hit me first?Who did I mess with?It's all the fault of Jia Min, the little bastard, who was not honest when he got to Bu Kui, and insisted on trying to make some noise.The one who got involved called the emperor to roll call.

Hubu Shangshu immediately wanted to scold Jia Min thousands of times.

"Returning to the emperor, although I hoped that Jia Min could take back the tribute, but after thinking about it later, this matter is unreliable, so I made another plan and didn't count on Jia Min's share of money. I also know that, Jia Min has good intentions, but he is a little impatient. The tribute has not been handed in for 70 years, how can it be so easy to hand it in?"

"So, you don't count on Jia Min's money anymore?"

"Yes, I don't have any hope."

"Have you got the money for disaster relief?"

"The minister has made arrangements."

Where is it arranged?I don't know where to find silver yet.

"Well, yes. Officials, what do you say about Jia Min's establishment of three prefectures and eighteen counties in the Wendula grassland?"

Seeing that the emperor had ordered the Ministry of Households, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was mentally prepared.

"Back to the emperor, before this, I had hoped for this matter. I thought that if Jia Min succeeded, I would be able to arrange the backlog of donated officials. However, I later figured it out, and felt that what Jia Min said Those words are nothing more than painting cakes to satisfy one's hunger, and they can't be taken seriously at all, so I thought of another way."

"So, your redundant staff has been arranged?"

How did it become my redundant staff?All the money from selling the officials went to the treasury, and the money is yours, and the rest of the redundant staff will be mine?Are you unreasonable?
"Yes, Your Majesty, arrangements have been made."

"Now that I think about it, don't count on Jia Min?"

"Your Majesty, as the saying goes, relying on mountains and rivers, I think it's better to rely on yourself. Jia Min Huangkou is a child, and it's not enough to believe it. Jiang Mingqian's impeachment at this time is just the right time."

You, Jia Min, have a lot of things to do, so let's impeach him as soon as possible.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Why is it good again?What does it mean?Who is good?Are the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Officials good, or Jia Min?

"Ministry of Criminal Justice, tell me, what do you think of Jia Min's reform of exile affairs in Bukui?"

The emperor ordered the Minister of the Ministry of punishment again.

What does this have to do with me?Didn’t Jiang Mingqian say it all in the booklet, what else should I say?
"Returning to the emperor, the reforms carried out by Jia Min are purely grandstanding. Although the supervision of exiles cannot be said to be perfect, the regulations that have been handed down over the years are the accumulation of experience from previous dynasties and have been proved by time. is reasonable and effective."

"How do you explain the fact that the death rate and escape rate of exiles remain high?"

Yeah, how do I explain it?In fact, it is easy to explain.

"Returning to the emperor, what Jia Min said about the high death rate and escape rate of Bu Kuiliu people may indeed exist. This may be related to the fact that it is a bitterly cold place in the extreme north, or it may be related to the plague."

"However, I think that Jia Min is a blind man. He is overgeneralizing and scaremongering. There are many distribution centers in various places. If you count military stations and the like, the death rate and escape rate of exiles are actually very low. It's not as serious as what Jia Min said."

On the surface, what Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice said made some sense.

The distribution centers in the inland, nearby borders, outlying borders, extreme borders, and the military bases in various places are added together. The death rate and escape rate of exiles are indeed not as high as that of Bu Kui, and even higher than that of Bu Kui. Kui dropped a lot.

However, there is a problem of statistical methods and allocation conditions.

Other distribution centers are either in the Mainland, or are relatively close, or have shorter sentences.In a distribution center like Military Terrace, since there are mainly criminal officials, the treatment is better, so the death rate and escape rate are relatively low.

He adopted the method of increasing the denominator, and the percentage naturally decreased.

In this way, on the surface, it makes sense.However, because what is being discussed now is the issue of Bu Kui Liuren.In fact, he was playing a game of stealing concepts.

"The minister thinks that Jia Min's so-called reform measures are flashy and a great achievement. As for what he said about the low food standards of exiles in the past, they are too general. Besides, if the exiles eat well Now, if you live well, if you are full of warmth and think about sex, you will definitely have a lot of unreasonable thoughts, which will not achieve the purpose of punishment."

"According to you, what Jia Min did was wrong?"

"Although Jia Min's actions were improper, but considering his youthful vigor, there's no need to investigate further. I think it's enough to dismiss him and investigate him."

The latter words of the Minister of the Ministry of Justice are somewhat ignorant of current affairs.

The emperor asked Jiang Ming to go to Bu Kui to investigate the exile reform affairs. In fact, he had a positive attitude towards Jia Min's reform measures. Otherwise, why send people all the way there?
Even if Jia Min did not do well, you can hold Jia Min personally responsible.However, reform cannot be denied.

Negating the reform is actually negating the emperor's decision, proving that it was wrong for the emperor to send Jiang Ming there.

His reasons for opposing reform are also untenable.

After the exiles have eaten and lived well, will they have unreasonable thoughts?Will it fail to achieve the purpose of punishment?
Besides, even if they eat better and live better?It's just compared with the extremely low standard in the past and being exploited and deducted in all aspects.In fact, the range of improvement is relatively limited.

The Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice said so, it can only show that he does not understand the specific situation, and it is mostly just talking on paper.

In fact, if he wants to make his words convincing, the best way is to speak with numbers.

However, his knowledge of Bu Kui's affairs was quite limited.Including the materials from Jia Min's newspaper, he has never read them.

In Jiang Mingqian's impeachment papers, in order to put the blame on Jia Min, he did not mention Jia Min's relatively good reform measures that have achieved results.After Jia Min's downfall, he planned to take the results for himself when he cleaned up the mess himself.

Therefore, when he said it, it could only be air-to-air.

Since Jiang Mingqian had already proposed to impeach Jia Min, and the previous few people all denied Jia Min, he was happy to play against the wind and made trouble.

Anyway, Jia Min is dead now, and it's okay to step on one more foot.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Emperor Yuanheng still looked ambiguous.Neither right nor wrong.

"Ministry of Industry, tell me. What do you think about the Bukui city wall?"

Wu Shangshu from the Ministry of Industry thought he had nothing to do and was happy to watch the fun, but unexpectedly, he did not escape.

He knew Jia Min and had dealt with them personally.I even have a good impression of Jia Min.

The matter of Bu Kui has nothing to do with his Ministry of Industry.The construction of the city wall can be said to have something to do with the Ministry of Industry, or it can be said to have nothing to do with it.

It has something to do with the fact that with money, the Ministry of Industry can repair it.

It doesn't matter, since it's a small place like Bukui, you can build the city wall by yourself.If it doesn't come to the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Industry is more happy than less.

I actually found the Ministry of Industry, but it was just to provide some technical guidance.

"Returning to the emperor, I think that it is indeed necessary for Bu Kui to build the city wall. It's just that the city wall project is huge and costly, and it needs to be done according to our ability. If you have money, you can repair it. If you don't have money, you have to postpone it."

His words are official words, clichés, and nonsense.However, for Wu Shangshu, it is also the most suitable words.

That means, I'm just a worker.If you have money, fix it.Without money, I have nothing to do.

Originally, he wanted to say that he knew Jia Min, and he knew and admired Jia Min's poetic genius and business genius.

However, no matter how good a poetic genius is, he can't use words as a city wall to build a city wall with bricks.No matter how talented he is in business, Jia Min would not spend his own money to repair the city wall, so he will not mention these things.

It's always better to have more than less.
