Chapter 282: Talking, Not Doing
Zhao Yulin pulled the three kids together and told them to go and see the Fugui brothers.
Zhu Fugui is the son of military strategist Zhu Congwen. Soon after his father's death, he found out that his mother had an affair and killed his father. Shunfeng secretly executed his mother, and the child became an orphan. In accordance with Zhu Congwen's last wish that he should protect the child, Zhao Yulin took Fugui with him as his own child.
Chen Liu quietly went to the front to take a look, and came back to tell Zhao Yulin that brother Fugui was still crying in pain, and the seniors must have been biased in the execution.
Wu Jing walked forward quickly, shouting from afar: Brother Fugui, our father is here, father is here.
The whole family came in one after another. Zhao Yulin sat down beside the bed. Fugui was about to turn over, but he was pressed on the bed and became passive.
Ma Linger told him that the military doctor had checked and found no injuries to his bones, but he would have to suffer some skin pain. The doctor also applied .
Zhao Yulin said with a smile that Mr. Zhang had made a good judgment. A gentleman should use his mouth, not his hands, and should not hit people casually.
Wu Jing angrily said that those ignorant people were scolding Daddy. Some people also said that our Daddy was not a gentleman and was unreasonable. He was still laughing when he ordered people to be beaten. Professor Zeng Wudao was beaten away by Daddy.
Zhao Yulin laughed loudly, saying that such people deserved to be beaten to death. Some people were unreasonable and had to be taught a lesson with fists.
Zhao Yulin praised Fugui for his bravery, comforted him, and then took the children away to the study. The three children stood in a row obediently.
Ma Linger first criticized Ma Yuan, saying that he did not fulfill his responsibility as the eldest brother and should have blocked the disaster for Fugui. Then she yelled at Chen Liu and Wu Jing. She had warned them when they came to Chengdu that they should learn more and listen more, and talk less when they entered the academy. Why couldn't she hold it in?
The three kids started wiping their tears one by one.
Fenghuang has a hot temper and can't bear to see the kids being bullied, so she said harshly that these people deserved a beating, so what's wrong with scolding them?
What's wrong with two slaps?
From now on, if you see anyone cursing your father again, beat them severely. Once they are beaten into submission, they will not dare to curse again.
Zhao Yulin quickly glared at Fenghuang and said coldly, "Is there any mother who educates her children like this?"
The situation in Chengdu is complicated.
He stood up, took the children in his arms and said that they had done the right thing, and they should not listen to Phoenix's mother. If they encountered problems that they could not solve in the future, they should go to Mr. Zhang, who would definitely have a way to convince the seniors.
He told the children that we are about to build a country, and we should work together to make everyone live a happier life.
Seeing smiles on the children's faces, Zhao Yulin pulled them over one by one and sent them into the house.
When he came back, he told his two wives that it was not easy to build a country and it was impossible to chop off the heads of all opponents with a knife.
Ma Linger said with a smile: Sister Phoenix just can't stand seeing children being bullied, so we adults just need to be more tolerant.
He said that Fenghuang was about to go down and supervise the garrison to reorganize the troops, and asked Feihu to bring more people with him when he went out. He also ordered Feihu to incorporate several good brothers into Fenghuang's guard.
After this incident with the Censor, Zhao Yulin felt that the water in Chengdu was too deep. The garrisons in various places were just people who had just put on the clothes of the Shenwei Army in a new appearance, but not in their hearts. He dared not be careless.
Phoenix looked nonchalant, saying that he had seen a lot of storms and waves, so he had nothing to worry about. He said "I'm going to sleep" and turned away.
Ma Ling said that he did not give Fenghuang face, which made the girl unhappy.
Zhao Yulin knew Fenghuang's character and knew that everything would be fine soon. He said that everyone should take a rest as there would be a lot of things to do tomorrow.
At this time, the small Dali Kingdom was also fighting corruption.
The young emperor of Dali Kingdom seized the evidence of Chai family embezzling military supplies and was about to take action, but unexpectedly, the Chai family and the Gao family joined forces in the court to impeach Zhennan King Duan Xiaolin for monopolizing jade sales and making huge profits for himself.
This made Duan Xiaolin so angry that his face turned red and he almost vomited blood. He pointed at the two companies and said that if he hadn't sold the raw stones to Xishu, how could he have exchanged them for new weapons for tens of thousands of people? When did he embezzle public funds and enrich himself?
The young emperor also said that no one was doing the raw stone business at first, and it was only when the Princess of Zhennan discovered that she could exchange it for silver that she opened up the transportation channel for the caravans, and took the stones to Western Shu to exchange for silver to buy military equipment. How could he be accused of corruption?
However, the Chai and Gao families refused to agree. They believed that Dali was a small country with few people and all its wealth should belong to the imperial court.
The Gao family then produced evidence that Duan Xiaolin had privately given a jade bracelet to Zhao Yulin's wife, arguing that since the jade was brought into the country from a southern tribe, it should belong to the Dali court regardless of its size and quality.
The Chai family immediately agreed, believing that the Prince of Zhennan was enjoying the huge income from jade and not serving the country, and that the court should take away this business of the Prince of Zhennan's Palace and hand it over to the court's Ministry of Revenue for special operation.
Handing it over to the Ministry of Revenue of the imperial court is equivalent to handing it over to the Gao family to operate and make money.
Duan Xiaolin was not convinced. It was his wife Zhao Sihan who discovered that the raw stones could be used for gambling-style transactions, and his Zhennan Palace opened a raw stone channel to Western Shu, turning the stones of the southern tribes into pure silver. Now he was involved in corruption?
This hat was not small. Once it was put on Duan Xiaolin, he would never be clean after getting involved with the money. They also wanted to take away Duan Xiaolin's way of making money. He was speechless and stood there in a daze.
His younger brothers were hoping that their elder brother would fall as soon as possible so that they could sit on the throne of King Zhennan. They all turned their faces towards the door and refused to say a word to help him.
The young emperor originally wanted to take advantage of the Chai family, but something unexpected happened. Moreover, the other party also accurately listed the time when Duan Xiaolin went to Xishu. What did they give as gifts and to whom did they give them?
The time, place and people of each and every case were clear, and since it involved his own son, he had no choice but to give up and stared at Duan Xiaolin in a daze, helplessly.
After Zhao Sihan learned about Duan Xiaolin's grievances in the court, he made a list of all the jade articles sent to his mother's home, exchanged them for silver at the market price, and handed them all over to the government treasury, and withdrew from the raw stone trading business.
Duan Xiaolin leaned on Zhao Sihan's shoulder and cried in pain. He murmured that the King of Zhennan's work was not as good as his happiness in selling beggar chicken in Yibin. He really wanted to quit and go back to his third brother to ask for Zhulin Beggar Chicken to run his business.
This is not over yet, his uncle, Duan Xingzhi, the eldest son of the previous emperor, is causing trouble again.
Uncle Duan believed that the Prince of Zhennan had not achieved any significant results in recent years and should be demoted and his title should be stripped away.
Damn, this is really going to shake Duan Xiaolin's foundation for inheriting the throne.
Even in the small imperial court located in a remote corner, there were continuous and exciting wars of words in the court.
At night, Zhao Yulin went into Fenghuang's room. The woman was still angry with him, and she offered him her bare back. He shamelessly went up to her and fiddled with her. Fenghuang's anger disappeared, and she happily snuggled into his arms and fell asleep sweetly.
After daybreak, the family hurriedly packed up and went to the government office to report for duty.
Zhao Yulin came to the meeting room and saw everyone talking to each other.
The Yishengmi Sect was wiped out yesterday, and the Chief Justice fled out of the west gate in the evening. Overnight, these explosive news spread to every corner of Chengdu.
Lord Ding cleared his throat and spoke. After scolding the Chief Justice, he asked the Deputy Chief Justice to temporarily perform his duties. He announced the formal opening of the meeting and invited the Deputy Chief Justice of the Ministry of Defense and Commander Zhao of the Shenwei Army to give a speech.
Seeing that the atmosphere in the meeting hall was too awkward, Zhao Yulin smiled and said that being an official was too risky and one could easily fall into a trap if one was not careful.
Someone in the audience burst into laughter, and the atmosphere in the meeting room finally relaxed a little.
Zhao Yulin said that the position of Censor is gone, and anyone who is willing to take the position can recommend themselves. As long as you all approve, it's fine. We have plenty of people, right?
Everyone immediately looked around and started laughing again.
He then picked up the day's agenda and explained the matter of transferring taxes to poor areas.
He said that each department should be foresighted in doing things, just like the Changping Warehouse prepared grain, oil, salt and tea in case of sudden chaos.
Therefore, this year we will discuss poverty alleviation funds much earlier.
He proposed to transfer 2 million strings of cash each to Renhuai, Yan'an and Guyuan where military operations were underway, 1 million strings of cash each to Xining Prefecture, Chamdo Prefecture and Kangning Prefecture, and 500,000 strings of cash to Xiangyang Prefecture to support post-war reconstruction .
Hua Yue immediately reported to the officials that the advance collection of taxes this year had exceeded that of last year. Yesterday, a large amount of dirty silver was seized from one liter of rice, equivalent to more than 10 million strings of silver, which was enough to cover the expenditure.
Lord Ding asked the others for their opinions again. Everyone still had the unlucky Provincial Judicial Commissioner in their minds, and they shook their heads left and right to indicate that they had no objection and supported the army in recovering the lost territory.
The old man immediately opened his agenda, first expressing his anger at the Xinjin County Magistrate's dereliction of duty and inaction, and demanded a thorough investigation of the inaction of officials from all over the country, and severely punish them according to the law. Then he proposed nominations for the appointment of prefects and governors of ten places, including Jingzhao Prefecture, Yan'an Prefecture, and Hezhou.
When Zhao Yulin saw that the five people were all from Lin'an, he promoted his father-in-law to be the acting governor of Lizhou, and transferred the governor of Lizhou to Yan'an Prefecture.
He agreed to appoint Chen Yun, the prefect of Xuzhou, as the acting prefect of Lizhou, and nominated Yang Zhishan as the acting prefect of Xuzhou. The prefect of Lizhou was transferred to be the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and the pacification commissioner of the Southwest Road of Beijing.
This arrangement and dispatch was considered a promotion by the Lizhou prefect. The fact that officials of the Jingxi South Road were directly appointed by Chengdu also showed that the Shenwei Army was handing over power to the Sichuan-Shaanxi Administration Office, truly realizing the great unification that Zhao Yulin had said.
Ding Gong was very satisfied, but his purpose of making room for Zhao Yan was not achieved. He looked at Lao Cao with some regret.
Lao Cao said that Yan'an Prefecture had just been recovered and was temporarily under the direct management of the army, and local officials would be appointed after the situation stabilized. Mr. Zhao was highly respected and should take the lead in Chengdu.
Everyone focused their attention on the faces of the three of them again, especially Zhao Yulin, who was dazzled by the eyes of the audience.
He said that if we expand the number of deputy envoys of the Office of Administration, we should ask Lord Zhao to condescend to the position of deputy envoy and supervise the Office of Judicial Supervision to perform its duties.
This person was pulled out and used in the same way as Li Zhongmian.
Mr. Ding immediately agreed, and everyone agreed .
First, Zhao Yan had been the governor of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and second, he was one of the highest-ranking officials from Lin'an who came to Shu. In Sichuan and Shu, only the deputy governor position could be added, so could it be that Ding Gong gave up his position to him? That was definitely impossible.
