Chapter 769 A Different Jiajing
The news that Zhu Pingan had checked the three-year account books of Taicang Bank in three days spread quickly as the people from the East Factory escorted the Taicang account books to Xiyuan. This is not a secret matter. The account books have been escorted to Xiyuan. They have obviously been checked. Anyone with a discerning eye will know it at a glance.
"It took him Zhu Ping'an three days to check the account books of Taicang Bank for three years? Could it be that he just looked at things and dealt with them in a hurry like a dragonfly?"
"Don't talk about the Taicang inspection. He was the only one left, even though the five inspectors were there "It will take at least half a month to check it out."
"Why do I find it so funny? Are you telling me a joke? Even the children in the neighboring village won't believe it. How could it be possible in three days." Have you checked Taicang’s account books for three years?”
"Haha, I think it's possible. If you look at me like this, Mr. Zhang, think about it. If it's a sampling, if Zhu Ping'an selects dozens or hundreds of account books for inspection, even if it's a partial generalization, then it won't be complete. It makes sense."
"Sampling, hahaha, my Lord Wang, you can still say it. You think this is a master asking a student, and you are still sampling, how can you use it? Isn’t it a good idea to inspect the Taicang Bank through sampling?”
When Dongchang’s Bloody Sword went to report to Dongchang Factory Supervisor Huang Jin, Wu Yishen was on duty in Xiyuan. The ministers already knew the news, and since there was nothing important to do that day, they gathered in small groups to discuss articles and memorials, and started talking in low voices.
Most people speak with sourness and criticism.
The article they submitted the day before yesterday, they worked hard one by one and spent a whole day to submit the article, but it is not as good as the article written by Zhu Ping'an while drinking tea, especially since Emperor Jiajing also gave Zhu Ping'an a banquet, which was such a favor. , even if they have been cultivating Qi for more than ten or decades, they can't help but feel a little jealous.
Moreover, this time Zhu Ping'an only spent three days checking Taicang Bank's three-year account books, which was originally a controversial matter.
The three-year account books of Taicang escorted by Dongchang's Dripping Sword and others were sealed in a palace not far from Wuyiyi. At that time, everyone in Wuyiyi saw it and escorted enough There are more than ten large boxes filled with account books. How could Zhu Pingan, alone, check so many account books in only three days? !
While Minister Wu Yichen was discussing a lot, Huang Jin also reported to Emperor Jiajing the news that Zhu Pingan had completed checking the Taicang bank account books, and also reported the song "Seven Ancient Odes" composed by Zhu Pingan. "Frog" was submitted to Emperor Jiajing's case.
When Emperor Jiajing heard that Zhu Pingan had checked the account books, he was surprised at first and thought he had heard wrongly.
Huang Jin recounted to Emperor Jiajing how serious Zhu Ping'an was in checking accounts, how he got up early and came home late, how hard he worked, etc., as reported by Dripping Sword.
Emperor Jiajing was not particularly clear about the number of Taicang bank account books. After hearing that Zhu Ping'an got up early and came back late so hard to check the accounts, the surprise on his face immediately faded a lot. While listening to Huang Jin's report, he picked up the "Seven" on the case. "Ancient Frog Song", I read it with great interest.
"Hmm, it's rare that Mr. Zhu wrote about a toad in such a vivid and interesting way. A little toad is so heroic in Mr. Zhu's writing. It seems that Mr. Zhu suffered a lot of contempt in Taicang..." After Emperor Jiajing read "Seven Ancients? Ode to Frogs" written by Zhu Pingan, he couldn't help stroking his beard and smiled, and turned to look at Huang Jin.
“This old slave doesn’t know, but I heard that when Mr. Xiao Zhu first started to audit the account books, he only wrote the first two sentences, and also drew a toad squatting on a lotus leaf. I heard that the painting It's very expressive. The last two sentences were added by Mr. Xiao Zhu after checking the account books." Huang Jin bowed and reported back.
"Oh, then I want to see what this tiger-like toad looks like." Emperor Jiajing said with great interest.
"The old slave will order someone to fetch it now." Huang Jin bowed and said.
"No hurry, what's the result of Mr. Zhu's accounting?" Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, put down the poem in his hand, and asked softly.
"Master Xiao Zhu has not reported the audit results yet, but I heard from the people below that after Master Xiao Zhu checked the accounts, he said angrily, 'Shuo Shuo Shuo Shuo, I swear to get rid of you.'" Huang Jin lowered his head and reported back.
"Haha, it seems that the toad has seen the worms. Okay, that's great. It seems that there are a lot of worms in my granary."
Jiajing The emperor sneered, waved his sleeves vigorously, put his right hand on the back of the dragon chair, and threw the wide sleeves of his Taoist robe in the air, and then hung down again.
"Your Majesty, calm down." Huang Jin hurriedly knelt down to persuade.
"Huang Ban, get up. It's not you who should kneel down, but the rats and bugs in the barn." Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, signaling Huang Jin to get up and speak.
"It doesn't matter if I kneel down, I hope your Majesty will not make the dragon body angry." Huang Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, said with a concerned look on his face.
He is worthy of being the most popular person around Emperor Jiajing. Anyone who hears these words will feel tight in their hearts.
"No problem, you can bring me the memorial that was presented to me today." Emperor Jiajing waved his hand and ordered Huang Jin to get the memorial that was presented to him by the cabinet today.
Huang Jin then stood up, carefully held the memorial sent by the cabinet and placed it on the cases in front of Emperor Jiajing.
Emperor Jiajing flipped through a book and started reading it. After reading it for a few times, Emperor Jiajing couldn't help but frowned and scolded displeasedly, "This enemy chief of Beilu is jumping around endlessly. Today, he will invade my Xuanfu. Tomorrow, Offend my Datong! Write a cabinet draft , stop the Datong horse market first as a warning. If the northern barbarians are still shameless and continue to violate our border, we will order all horse markets on the border to be banned!"
"I took note of it," Huang Jingong said. He leaned forward and nodded.
After reviewing the first memorial, Emperor Jiajing opened the following memorials in succession. He read three memorials in a row. He was quite satisfied with the handling opinions drafted by the cabinet and basically passed it. When he turned to the third memorial, he When reading the fifth and sixth books, Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and seemed to be talking to himself. , and seemed to be talking to Huang Jin, "Reducing rent is not as good as rent-free. Although I am not Yao, Shun, and Yu, I also know the people's livelihood. When I was in Chengtian Mansion, Huang Kao also took me to see the various aspects of people's livelihood."
The Chengtian Mansion mentioned by Emperor Jiajing refers to Anluzhou, Huguang, which was the vassal territory when Emperor Jiajing did not inherit the throne. In the tenth year of Jiajing's reign, in order to honor Emperor Jiajing's Longfei territory, which was his birthplace, Anlu Prefecture, he followed the example of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and changed his birthplace of Haozhou into a prefecture. He also changed Anlu Prefecture into a prefecture. However, Emperor Jiajing went a step further and named the mansion "Chengtian", which was compared with the capital Shuntian and Nanjing Yingtian. The jurisdiction was also expanded to five counties and two states, forming Chengtian Mansion.
After talking to himself for a moment, Emperor Jiajing solemnly ordered Huang Jindao, "I order the cabinet to draft a document to exempt Nanchang, Linjiang, Ji'an, Ruizhou, Yuanzhou, Fuzhou, Ganzhou, and Nan'an in Jiangxi In addition, Daming, Baoding, Hejian, Shunde, and Guangping prefectures in Northern Zhili will also be exempted from renting paddy fields.”
"Heaven has no relatives and always associates with good people. The Holy Lord has a kind heart and loves the people like a son. He always thinks about the people and lives with the people. The common people in the world are really lucky to have such a king and father as the Holy Lord."
Huang Jin was so excited that he knelt down and thanked Emperor Jiajing on behalf of all the people in the world. He sincerely and sincerely praised Emperor Jiajing's feat of exempting land rent from droughts and floods. He had a good sense of proportion and his expression was real. And natural.
Shoot without making.
This was very useful to Emperor Jiajing. (End of this chapter)
