Chapter 275 Lao Zhu also owes wages

Seeing that Wang Guangyang suddenly stopped leaving, Hu Weiyong turned around and raised his eyebrows at Wang Guangyang: "Master Wang, this is..."

Wang Guangyang took the list from Hu Weiyong and looked at it.

It says "Four concubines of the sinner Chenzhou".

Wang Guangyang said to Hu Weiyong: "The criminal Chenzhou only has three concubines. This list needs to be changed."

Hu Weiyong was stunned for only a moment, and then immediately said: "Yes. Mr. Wang is wise. It is true that they made a mistake."

Wang Guangyang was very satisfied with Hu Weiyong's "knowledge" and nodded slightly: "Master Hu can handle the rest. I have no objections."

Then he took the woman and left directly.

The person from the Ministry of Punishment who accompanied the inspection today happened to be Hu Weiyong's person.

Hu Weiyong said to the man: "The report below was wrong. The criminal Chenzhou only has two concubines. Make a new list and report it."

The man nodded: "I understand."

-----

As the end of the year approaches, the office becomes busier and busier.

Merchants were striving to make another big profit before the Chinese New Year, so they rushed to bring special cargo to Yingtian.

Zhu Bai was attracted by those things. Whenever he had something to do, he would come to Guanya Bureau to see if there was anything interesting or anything he had never seen before.

Today a merchant from the Northeast brought a group of live deer.

Many knowledgeable people sighed: Deer blood is an aphrodisiac, and it is rare to see it alive on weekdays, but even if a family buys so much, they can't finish it.

The key is that it is a living creature and cannot survive for too long.

Some people suggest that merchants sell them in bulk, sell them at a higher price, and hold them in your hands. If you die, you will lose every one.

The merchant smiled and said: "It's so laborious. One person sells one or two and still has to bargain."

Just as he was talking, a man who looked like a butler came and asked the merchant: "I want it all, how much does it cost."

The merchant said: "Twenty taels of silver per head, a total of six hundred taels."

The butler said: "Deal."

Then I paid the money and went to pick up the goods.

Everyone else smacked their lips: "My dear, who is so generous?"

Li Shanchang, who was the only one with this ability before, retired and returned home.

Except for Lao Zhu, it seems that no one has such a big house to keep these deer.

Then someone whispered: "I know him, that's Mr. Wang's housekeeper."

Then everyone looked at each other.

"Master Wang? The new right prime minister?"

"Yes. Mr. Wang responded to the sky this time. He seemed like a different person. He married three young and beautiful concubines in a row and bought two singers. After court every day, he drank, listened to songs, and indulged in sexual activities. Mrs. Wang

Even if I couldn't persuade him, I was so angry that I went back to my parents' house."

"No wonder I have to buy so many supplements."

"It seems that Mr. Wang has made a lot of money in Guangdong. He can make hundreds of taels of silver at a time."

"Haha, it's not a word greedy."

Zhu Bai had been listening silently, and now he frowned: How come this Wang Guangyang still doesn't restrain himself when he comes back to Lao Zhu? He is so broken, is he too lazy to struggle even after struggling?

Now that Wang Guangyang is so generous, think about how much tax and money Chen De has cost the court by dominating Guangzhou Port in the past two years.

-----

The results of rural examinations in various places are released one after another.

Yingtian's provincial examination admission list was posted outside the Yingtian government office.

Naturally, there will be no names of people like Ding Fu.

Ding Fu and the others did not dare to make trouble.

In fact, ever since Li Shanchang retired and returned to his hometown, he has become completely honest.

Not only that, the dandies in the city also gave up the idea of ​​taking the imperial examination and sneaking into the court, and from then on they stayed at home happily and became prodigal sons.

These people who are written on the admission list are Juren.

After completing the imperial examination, you can become an official, but the starting point is not as high as those who passed the imperial examination.

This is also the reason why Zhu Bai has been promoting and encouraging those people to enter the official school and take the examination.

After all, this way, the government can recruit more talents.

Hu Weiyong invited the top twenty candidates in the provincial examination to his home for tea one by one.

Ouyang Lun was the second one to be invited over. He was so frightened that he put on his best clothes for fear of looking too shabby and being rejected by Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong personally went to the door to greet him, led Ouyang Lun inside, and then bowed to him.

Ouyang Lun became more and more frightened and kept saluting: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, you have really embarrassed the students."

Hu Weiyong said: "You are a person who can pass the first prize, and your future will be bright."

Ouyang Lun is so smart, how could he not hear Hu Weiyong's words lying on the ground: "Prime Minister, I have no way to repay you for your kindness."

Hu Weiyong stepped forward and helped him up with both hands: "You and I both come from poor families, and we have never accompanied the emperor to conquer the world. It is too difficult to get ahead, so we must work together."

Ouyang Lun was so moved that his eyes filled with tears, and he choked with sobs several times: "The adults taught you very well, and the villains were just like the adults doing the hard work of dogs and horses."

Hu Weiyong patted Ouyang Lun's hands: "Don't talk about effectiveness or failure, we help each other and support each other."

Who did Hu Weiyong meet, how long did he meet, and what did he say? All this information was continuously sent to Lao Zhu.

When Lao Zhu listened to Erhu's report, he never avoided Zhu Bai and Zhu Biao. This meant that he wanted to let them know the dangers of these ministers.

Hu Weiyong is planning this.

The top twenty in the Yingtian Township Examination. If there are no accidents, there is basically no problem in getting into the list. It just depends on the number of places.

Hu Weiyong is now forcing them to show their loyalty. In the future, whether they are left in Yingtian or sent to other places, they will become Hu Weiyong's minions.

-----

Many matters cannot be dealt with when they reach the Central Publishing House, because after Hu Weiyong gave his opinions, Wang Guangyang was asked to make a decision.

But Wang Guangyang didn't put his mind on this at all. He couldn't figure out the causes and consequences of many things, and he didn't dare to make decisions. In the end, he just put it off.

A cold wind blew up in Yingtian City last night. In the morning, there was a thick layer of frost on the trees, grass and tiles, and the white flowers were shining brightly.

My hands are a bit cold without gloves.

In the morning, Lao Zhu was listening to the Ministry of War's report on the war in the north.

Suddenly someone fell to the ground with a "plop".

When Zhu Bai saw it was Song Lian, he hurriedly asked the eunuch to bring him some warm water and gave him a sip.

Lao Zhudu came down and asked, "Master Song, are you feeling unwell?"

Song Lian's face turned pale and he sighed feebly: "It's not that I feel uncomfortable, it's that I fainted from hunger after not eating for three days."

Lao Zhu was stunned and asked: "Master Song, why didn't you eat for three days..."

Since Zhu Bo's suggestion, he has increased the salaries of officials. Although it is not a big deal, it is certainly enough to support a family.

Zeng Bingzheng sighed softly, knelt in front of Lao Zhu and sighed sadly: "Your Majesty, it has been two months since the autumn salary has been paid out. If it is not paid out, the old minister and his family will starve to death."

Then Chen Nanbin also saluted and said: "The weather is getting colder day by day. Without salary, the old minister has no money to buy charcoal, and it is really too cold to survive the night."

Several veteran officials who were usually honest began to sob and cry: "Your Majesty, Kai Enchen and others really can't stand it any longer."

Zhu Bai didn't know whether to laugh or cry: Good guy, it turns out that the boss defaulted on wages.

It's really strange. I didn't expect that such a thing would happen in the "Hongwu Dynasty".
