The news that Zhu Pingan had checked the three-year account books of Taicang Bank in three days spread quickly as people from the East Factory escorted the Taicang account books to Xiyuan. This is not a secret matter, and the account books were all escorted to Xiyuan.
Yes, the investigation has obviously been completed, and 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 the details and dealt with them in a hurry like a dragonfly?"
"Don't say that he is the only inspector left in Taicang. Even if all five inspectors are here, it will take at least half a month to complete the investigation."
"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 to check Taicang's account books for three years in three days?"
"Haha, I think it's possible. If you look at me like this, Mr. Zhang, think about it. If it's a sampling, what if Zhu Ping'an selected dozens or hundreds of account books for inspection. Although some generalizations are not complete, it will not be complete at that time.
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 sampling to inspect the Taicang Bank? Isn't this a problem?
?!"
When the Blood-Drying Sword of Dongchang went to report to Huang Jin, the director of Dongchang, the ministers on duty at Xiyuan Wuyiyi already knew the news. Since there was nothing important that day, they were all in small groups.
They gathered together to discuss the article and the origin of the memorial. They gathered together and discussed in a low voice.
Most people's words are full of 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. Such a favor, even if it is more than 10 years of nourishing qi.
Years and decades later, they couldn'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 more than ten people were escorted away.
The box was filled with account books. With so many account books, how could it be possible for Zhu Pingan to check them all in just three days?!
While Minister Wu Yichen was talking a lot, Huang Jin also reported to Emperor Jiajing the news that Zhu Pingan had inspected the account books of Taicang Bank. At the same time, he also presented the song "Seven Ancients: Ode to the Frog" written by Zhu Pingan to Emperor Jiajing.
on the case.
Emperor Jiajing was surprised at first when he heard that Zhu Ping'an had checked the account books and thought he had heard wrongly.
Huang Jin recounted to Emperor Jiajing how diligent Zhu Ping'an was in checking accounts, how he got up early and came home late, how hard he worked, etc., as reported by the Blood Drop 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 home 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 Ode", 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..." Emperor Jiajing read Zhu Ping'an.
After writing "Seven Ancients? Ode to the Frog", I couldn't help stroking my beard and smiling slightly, then turned to look at Huang Jin.
"This old slave doesn't know, but I heard that when Mr. Xiao Zhu first started checking 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 was very vivid.
The last two sentences were added by Master 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 yet reported the results of the audit, but I heard from the people below that after Master Xiao Zhu checked the accounts, he was filled with indignation and said several times, 'Shuo Shuo Shuo Shuo, I swear to you.'" Huang Jin lowered his head and reported back.
road.
"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."
Emperor Jiajing 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, then hung down again.
"Your Majesty, please calm down." Huang Jin hurriedly knelt down to persuade him.
"Huang Ban, get up, it's not you who should kneel down, it's 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'm kneeling here, I hope your Majesty doesn't 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.
"It doesn't matter, 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 chieftain from the North is jumping around endlessly. Today he is attacking our Xuanfu. Tomorrow
You are invading Datong! We have drafted a document in the cabinet to ban the Datong horse market first as a warning. If the northern barbarians are still shameless and continue to invade our borders, we will order all the horse markets on all sides to be banned!"
"My servant has taken note of it." Huang Jin bowed and nodded.
After reviewing the first memorial, Emperor Jiajing opened the following memorials in succession. He read three of them in a row. He was quite satisfied with the handling opinions drafted by the cabinet and basically passed them. When he opened the fifth and sixth memorials,
When speaking, Emperor Jiajing narrowed his eyes slightly and thought for a moment, seeming to be talking to himself or talking to Huang Jin, "Reducing rent is not as good as exempting rent. Although I am not the king of Yao, Shun, and Yu, I also know the people's livelihood. Back then,
When I was in Chengtian Mansion, Huang Kao also showed me 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, in order to honor Emperor Jiajing's Longfei Domain, it was the birthplace of Anluzhou.
, following the example of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, he changed the place of his fortune from Haozhou to a prefecture, and also changed Anlu Prefecture to a prefecture. However, Emperor Jiajing went a step further and named the prefecture "Chengtian", which corresponds to the capital Shuntian and Nanjing.
When the sky was equal, the jurisdiction was expanded to five counties and two states, forming Chengtian Prefecture.
After talking to himself for a moment, Emperor Jiajing sternly ordered Huang Jindao, "Order the cabinet to draft a document to exempt the prefectures of Nanchang, Linjiang, Ji'an, Ruizhou, Yuanzhou, Fuzhou, Ganzhou, and Nan'an from drought-related land rent in Jiangxi. In addition,
, together with the prefectures of Northern Zhili, Baoding, Hejian, Shunde, and Guangping, which were rented from paddy fields, were also exempted."
"Heaven has no relatives and always associates with good people. The Holy Lord has a kind heart, loves the people like a son, always considers the people, and rests with the people. All the 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 to express his gratitude to Emperor Jiajing on behalf of all the people in the world. He sincerely and sincerely praised Emperor Jiajing's feat of saving land from drought and floods. He had a good sense of proportion and his expression was real.
