The best Daming golden turtle son-in-law

Chapter 170
"Long live, long live!"

Over the past few days, the prince Zhu Houzhao has fallen in love with donating porridge and rice, because he can feel the strong "grateful" feeling here, especially when the people there eat and drink enough, they shout together "Long live!" ", this made the prince Zhu Houzhao very excited, and he couldn't calm down for a long time every time.

Observing his words, every time the eunuch Liu Jin came out with the prince, he secretly sent someone to arrange a "professional entrustment" in advance, and was responsible for all kinds of "praise" to the little prince, in front of him, behind his back, in short, Zhu Houzhao felt light every day Yes, it is beautiful.

And Yang Ling didn't have time to play with the little prince recently. He didn't know until he became an official that being an official is really tiring, especially being a high official!
When a high-ranking official can show off his prestige, but you don't know how much suffering there is, there are thousands of intricate threads, and you have to straighten out the threads one by one. All the burdens have been picked up, and these days, he is in excellent physique, so tired that he is almost collapsed.

Now Yang Ling is really immersed in it, and suddenly became a high-ranking official, the governor of a place, and his parents are officials. Seeing all kinds of poverty and backwardness in Hebei, a lot of waste is waiting to be done, and disaster victims are everywhere, Yang Ling is really impressed. Urgent, I can't eat well every day and can't sleep, so I took Xu Qi, Hong Niangzi and others to inspect various places in person to investigate the disaster situation and the people's conditions.

This investigation made his head bigger, and he simply put it in one sentence: "Poverty and backwardness cannot be improved in a day or two. It takes many generations of continuous hard work."

Not to mention how stubborn the ignorant and backward thinking is, not to mention how many stereotypes and bad habits that hinder progress in the village, but the efficiency of the execution of orders alone made Yang Ling faint a few times, otherwise, what reformer in history? It is extremely difficult to do anything, like Shang Yang and Wang Anshi who reformed, few of them achieved anything good, and the complaints that fell were not at one end, and both sides offended people, Yang Ling felt that it was too much to act. It's tough.

However, it is difficult to have to go on, this is the reality.

When dealing with a lot of unreasonable people, Ma Binghuang, a big man, has made great efforts. As long as he stands there, this big man like a Buddha statue will make any local ruffian tremble with fear. Sometimes Ma Binghuang looks anxious. Well, a loud voice is enough to scare a few troublemakers to death, but that's all.

The room was leaking and it was raining continuously, the new Xiao Jian was always making troubles, all kinds of rules and requirements, no matter how Yang Ling slapped the table anxiously, this Xiao Jian would not let go, and Yang Ling could do nothing about it up.

For example, Yang Ling wanted to dig a river, and needed more than 8000 taels of silver, and wanted to get it out of the treasury of Handan City, but the stubborn Xiao Jian was so angry that Yang Ling almost fainted:
"Expenditures exceeding 5000 taels of silver need to be reported to the higher-level government office and the Ministry of Industry. After approval by the imperial court, you can only use this amount to give you money."

"My Lord Xiao," Yang Ling spoke to him anxiously, "Isn't it an extraordinary period now, disasters are spreading, floods are rampant, we have all the manpower here, some are refugees, and now we almost have money to buy some stones and Artificially dredging the river, people will be able to farm next spring when the river is down! I have submitted the official documents for the funds, and this coming and going will delay things!"

"You can't mess with the rules. As for the river, you should think of a way."

Xiao Jian is not very old, and even speaking with a superior like Yang Ling, he sounded like a bureaucrat, Yang Ling wished he could slap you in the face, smashing your stupid brain!
This was the efficiency of the officialdom at that time. There were many officials with a particularly stupid brain like Xiao Jian. Therefore, on the one hand, the disaster area was caused by natural disasters, droughts and floods, and on the other hand, it was mainly man-made disasters. There are big corrupt officials and such muddled officials, so there is no good.

However, it didn't take long for Yang Ling to find that Xiao Jian couldn't beat him, because the court sent a lot of people down, and the efficiency of the emperor and civil servants increased again:
First of all, Deng Chao, the Xuan Fu envoy sent by the Ministry of War, cooperated with the local guard Xue Yong. These two military officers were in charge of local defense, and there were thousands more troops at once. Is this a good thing?It's hard to say, because Yang Ling found that these two people were obviously on the same side as Xiao Jian, people from the civil official group, and this group of people was difficult to deal with;

Then there was a letter from Li Dongyang and others, and the letter was sent by a censor in the court.His name is Pan Yu.

This person is about 40 years old, with mediocre appearance, and his figure seems to be a bit middle-aged, with three short beards and a kind face. It doesn't look like he's an official.

"You are Master Yang?"

Pan Yushi brought two little servants, and he was also carrying a cloth bag. The posture of this bag made Yang Ling laugh out loud when he saw it. Yang Ling thought of it, this guy seemed like a water collector in later generations. Uncle Fei.However, Pan Yushi is good at this point, he is approachable, he asked in a few words who they are, met Yang Ling, met Xiao Jian, etc. After completing the official handover procedures, he sent a letter to Yang Ling. Ling handed it over.

"This is a letter written to you by the Emperor and Lord Li. I have been entrusted to bring it to you. Please read it."

"Excuse me, come to see tea." Yang Ling was very surprised. The adult who delivered the letter felt extremely strange. He remembered that when he was in the capital, he listened to Tang Yuanyou's words and visited every door in the court according to a list. An official, but in my impression, there is really no one named "Pan Yu" of the sixth rank.

This is a very ordinary middle-aged man, the sixth-rank censor is neither serious nor important, nor painful nor itchy in the court... People have missed it, let's recall it later, let's read the letter first.

Yang Ling opened the letter, and it turned out to be Li Dongyang's handwriting, which contained a large article written by the old man specially for Yang Ling. It was semi-private, semi-official, with a tone of reproach. The description in the letter probably means this:
Yang Ling, your recent performance has let us down a bit. The emperor and we are both disappointed in you... Since you were promoted beyond the rules, it means that you have extraordinary expectations for you, and you were okay at first, but your recent performance has become mediocre. One or two Yue didn't make any big moves, so we couldn't figure it out.

With the current situation, the southern rebellion and the Central Plains rebellion, why is the world of Ming Dynasty so unbalanced?
You must wipe out the rebellion within three months, and you must not let the rebellion spread to more places, absolutely.
