Chapter 250 The Honest Prince Yu
Zhu Zaijing calmed down and calmed down. How could he describe the relationship between himself and Hai Rui like this?
You must know that you are the king, and Hai Rui is the minister.
How can this be done?
And the number one "dog licker" of Hai Rui in history should be Wang Yongji, the wealthy man.
Wang Yongji chased fans all the way, he did not hesitate to save his family wealth for Hai Rui, he did not hesitate to offend many people, and he wanted to protect Hai Rui from harm. In the end, he even spent money and effort to hold a decent funeral for Hai Rui.
On this basis, Wang Yongji can definitely be called Hai Rui’s number one fan!
It’s just that Wang Yongjiying is only in his early twenties and is still working as a wealthy young master in his hometown in Quanzhou. He has not yet focused on his career in the imperial examination, so the fate of him and Hai Rui intersects. , it will take more than ten or twenty years for them to meet.
Now that Zhu Zaijing had retracted his remote thoughts, he continued: "This time I have called you into the palace not just for your happiness. I have been appointed by His Majesty to be the Prime Minister for the expansion of the capital. You should know it too, right?”
Hai Rui replied: “I know.”
Zhu Zaijing hummed, "It's good to know. This is actually the reason why I summoned you into the palace. Mr. Gao should have told you how dangerous this matter is. Are you really willing to supervise the expansion of the capital for me?" An important task?"
Hai Rui took a deep breath and replied in an extremely firm tone: "I am willing!"
Zhu Zaijing looked at Hai Rui's determined expression and said Hearing his affirmative answer, I couldn't help but feel relieved. It seemed that Haigangfeng was still the same Haigangfeng, still the same Haigangfeng who was not afraid of trouble but did everything he could.
Zhu Zaijing said in a good mood, "Okay! Hai Rui, please have some tea."
Zhu Zaijing held the teacup in front of Hai Rui, and Hai Rui also quickly took it He held the tea cup and bowed to Zhu Zaijing, then drank the tea in one gulp.
Zhu Zaijing looked at Hai Rui who had finished drinking tea, and couldn't help laughing again, and continued: "You can relax for a while these days. After I have handled the preliminary preparations for the expansion of the capital, you can You can directly replace me and take office to supervise the progress of the Ministry of Industry and Shuntian Mansion."
But then Zhu Zaijing's words changed.
Zhu Zaijing said: "But before that, you have to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to help the Ministry of Works get back the first project payment agreed by the court as soon as possible. Then supervise the use of this money. The situation must not be misappropriated or borrowed by anyone for any excuse or reason.”
Zhu Zaijing’s words are not nonsense.
Because just when Emperor Jiajing ordered him to serve as the prime minister for the expansion of the capital, he had already given the capital expansion plan submitted by Ouyang Bijin to Zhu Zaijing and asked Zhu Zaijing to make modifications. , and then handed over to the Ministry of Industry and Shuntian Prefecture for construction.
So during this period, Zhu Zaijing was not really idle. He had transferred Zhang Tianci back and led a team of surveyors to start collecting detailed data for the expansion area outside the capital.
After the data collection is completed, Zhu Zaijing will ask Zhang Tianci to continue to make new changes on the Ministry of Industry's design draft.
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing would never start construction easily without months of preparation time.
At the same time, Zhu Zaijing also handed over the project funds to the Ministry of Household Affairs as soon as possible from the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and converted the first project funds into bricks, tiles, stones and other building materials needed for the expansion of the capital, so as to avoid the real situation later. When work is about to start, you have to buy it now and use it now, which will delay things a lot.
Now that Hai Rui has arrived at his post, the matter of asking for money naturally falls on him.
After all, he had just come out of the Ministry of Household Affairs and was familiar with everyone, so it was very appropriate for him to ask for the project funds.
After Hai Rui heard Zhu Zaijing's arrangement, he was slightly startled, and then he bowed to Zhu Zaijing honestly: "Your Majesty, there may be difficulties in this matter. The Ministry of Revenue has already spent the money. It's almost done. I don't think I'll get much money back if I go now."
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zaijing's face turned dark immediately and he said rudely to Hai Rui: "I want to listen to you. Is this the answer? If everyone tells me that they have difficulties, should I continue to do my errands?”
“Since the Ministry of Revenue can use the money, then they should do it. You have the consciousness to spit out the money again. You are representing me now. If you admit defeat before taking action, what use will I have for you?" Zhu Zaijing said this directly to his face. Hai Rui was at a loss as to what to do.
But Hai Rui's ability to withstand pressure is still very strong. In fact, what he said just now was not to evade responsibility. He just wanted to tell Zhu Zaijing a fact.
Who knew that Zhu Zaijing would immediately fall out after hearing this.
It can be seen from this that the prince in front of him does not seem to be the weak person usually seen and imagined. His attitude towards things and people is still very organized and not blindly Appeasement.
This is undoubtedly a very positive signal for Hai Rui. At least it shows that King Yu has a very tough character and is very independent. When working under such a master, as long as he understands Direction, if you get support, you will definitely achieve something successful!
So Hai Rui immediately bowed and said, "I know that I am guilty. I will definitely make a good handover with the Ministry of Household Affairs and smoothly transfer the first amount of silver required for the expansion of the capital to the account of the Ministry of Works, and strictly supervise it." All movements of this money ”
After Zhu Zaijing saw Hai Rui's reaction, he was very satisfied. Zhu Zaijing suddenly showed a gentle smile, "Hai Rui just try your best to handle it. No matter what the result is, I will not blame you. ”
After Zhu Zaijing had a few cordial conversations with Hai Rui, he let Hai Rui leave.
Hai Rui felt a lot of pressure after leaving Prince Yu's Mansion, but the more he felt like this, the more full of fighting spirit he became.
In the palace, Meng Chong looked at Zhu Zaijing and said worriedly: "Your Majesty, this Hai Rui has just been an official for a year, can he fight against the old fritters in the transfer department? Is this money easy to get?"
Zhu Zaijing said nonchalantly: "Of course it's not easy to get, but he is Hai Rui. I believe he will find a way to use the Ministry of Finance's treasury. Pry it open and help me move the money out. Otherwise, do you want me to provide money to expand the capital? How is this possible? Who dares to touch even a cent of my money?"
What Zhu Zaijing said was also a sign, because according to some information that Huang Jin came over to chat, Zhu Zaijing already knew why Emperor Jiajing promoted Chen Hong to the position of Supervisor of Rites. It turned out to be to check the accounts.
After Zhu Zaijing guessed this, he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "It's really too much. How can I care about my son's money?"
But the situation is better than people. Qiang, since everyone is thinking about it, it is better to spread it out directly, so as not to be secretive and arouse the suspicion of the old Taoist priest.
No matter how messed up I am, I am still the prince of the Ming Dynasty. I will still have good food and clothing for the rest of my life. I don’t have to play tricks with the old Taoist priests for those external things.
Quan should just hand in the certificate of voting!
As long as it makes your life easier.
Anyway, I have a lot of reasons for being caught by the old Taoist priest. One more is not much, but one less is not enough.
After all, the emperor's heart is as deep as the abyss, who can guess the emperor's true thoughts?
The most cost-effective deal is to hand over the handle honestly and gain more trust.
Otherwise, I might not be able to do anything.
Isn’t that just GG?
Therefore, Zhu Zaijing was not afraid of Emperor Jiajing checking his account at all. Anyway, this is how the money was spent and earned, and he did not go behind anyone's back.
