Therefore, Gao Qiqian told Cheng Shijie in his letter that the key point is to grasp the character problems of these opponents, such as being unjust to friends, unfilial to elders, unfaithful to the country, and unkind to subordinates. These issues must be dealt with accurately.

In fact, Gao Qiqian confided in Cheng Shijie. This is like a joke in later generations. In the eyes of prostitutes, any woman can be sold, but the price is different. In the eyes of Gao Qiqian, the eunuch, a corrupt official, all the Ming Dynasty women

No official has a clean butt, and this trick is always tried and true against anyone.

Fortunately, Fu Zonglong didn't say anything bad about Cheng Shijie, he basically said good things.

Emperor Chongzhen said in surprise: "You mean, Cheng Qing is actually planting grass?"

Hearing this, Gao Qiqian's face turned gloomy, and he thought to himself: "If you dare to speak ill of Cheng Shijie, you will hit our family's pocketbook, and we will get rid of you!"

What does it mean that the emperor is not in a hurry but the eunuch is? This is it.

"Exactly!"

"Why does he want to plant grass?"

Fu Zonglong explained: "Because Cheng Jinglue seized thousands of war horses from Jiannu. These war horses need to eat thirty kilograms of fodder every day. Thousands of horses will eat tens of thousands of kilograms of fodder. By the way, Your Majesty doesn't know something. Cheng Jinglue still has

There are more than 8,000 cattle, and these 10,000 animals need to eat nearly 100,000 kilograms of fodder every day!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said: "One hundred thousand kilograms of fodder, how big a piece of pasture does this require?"

"If we followed the way the Jian slaves and Mongolians herded cattle, we would need at least several million acres of pasture!"

Fu Zonglong smiled and said: "But Cheng Jinglue adopted artificial planting methods. One acre of land can grow several thousand kilograms of grass, and one hundred thousand kilograms of grass is only a few dozen acres of land! Cheng Jinglue's planting of grass is actually a helpless move. Those lands,

They are all dry land far away from the ditches. There is no way to grow food on such land, you can only grow grass!"

"I have heard of many generals who organize sergeants to garrison troops and grow grain. However, Cheng Qing is the only general in the world who grows grass!"

Emperor Chongzhen asked: "Is there anything else fun?"

"have!"

Fu Zonglong thought for a while and said: "Jinzhou City is very clean, even cleaner than Beijing City, but not as good as the Forbidden City!"

The total area of ​​the Forbidden City is less than 1,400 acres. Just for this 1,400 acres, more than 3,000 eunuchs and concubines were employed to clean the area.

Emperor Chongzhen said in surprise: "How did he do it?"

When he was not the emperor, he was the king of faith. He followed the eunuchs out of the palace and walked around the inner city of Beijing several times. Chongzhen stepped on smelly dog ​​shit, human shit, and even urine.

Damn it, he still has this bad experience fresh in his mind.

"How did Cheng Qing do this?"

Fu Zonglong laughed and said: "Cheng Jinglue fined people who were caught urinating everywhere and asked them to clean up the dirty things! He also fined bullock carts or horse-drawn carriages on the streets."

When Emperor Chongzhen heard that he could be fined, his eyes glowed green: "How much is the fine at one time?"

"One point and two centimeters!"

Emperor Chongzhen said excitedly: "If Cheng Qing can do this, I seem to be able to do it too!"

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Wang Zhixin, the eunuch of Dongchang beside him, and said: "Wang Banban!"

"The slave is here!"

"You also heard that this matter is left to your Dongchang to be responsible for!"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "From now on, all people in the capital who defecate anywhere will be fined one cent or two cents of silver!"

One cent and two cents is twelve copper coins. If you can buy seasonal vegetables with these twelve copper coins, you can buy three cucumbers, almost four, leeks and four taels per catty, and four eggplants.

For ordinary people, it is not a particularly heavy burden.

Cheng Shijie's regulations are flexible. If the people have no money and make the mistake of throwing garbage or urinating everywhere due to ignorance, they can clean up the garbage and just work for a day.

But the problem is that the code is added layer by layer.

Wang Zhixin, the admiral of Dongchang, left the Forbidden City and came to the Dongchang Anti-Smuggling Yamen at Donghua Gate.

"Meet the Factory Supervisor!"

A total of more than 200 people, including those in charge of punishing thousands of households and those in charge of punishing hundreds of households, including the foreman, foreman, housekeeper, chief of staff (also known as stall chief), and fan servant (also known as fanzi), came to see the ceremony one after another.

"Everyone, come to life!"

Wang Zhixin immediately announced: "According to the imperial edict, from now on, littering, open defecation, and all carriages and horses are prohibited in Beijing. Violators will be fined!"

The Zhongdong factory staff suddenly smiled happily, fine, they can enrich their own pockets.

Wang Zhixin sighed: "Cheng Jinglue is a good man. He can actually come up with such a way to make money. He deserves to be promoted and rich!"

After announcing the order, everyone in the East Factory began to mobilize collectively.

At dawn, Feng Yigui, the shopkeeper of the tailor shop near Dongzhimen, as usual, the first thing he did when he got up was to open the door and pour the chamber pot he had used for the night into the gutter at the door.

Just as the half-pot of urine was finished, a Dongchang fan and two helpers emerged from the alley.

Fanzi yelled: "You will be fined for open defecation!"

Feng Yigui was able to run a tailor shop in Dongzhimen, but he was also a well-heeled person. He said it was a fine, but he didn't take it seriously. These gangsters must have run out of money and came to blackmail him.

Feng Yigui said: "I am related to Bo Chenling, the head of Daxing County. I don't want to look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face. I don't want my brothers to make this trip in vain. Take it out to drink tea!"

Feng Yigui carried the broken silver with him just to cope with this situation. He carried out Chen Ling's treasure because Dongzhimen belonged to Daxing County and Xizhimen directly belonged to Wanping County.

Dongchang fanzi let Feng Yigui go when he saw that Feng Yigui took out a little more than one penny of silver, which was far more than what they asked for. Moreover, Feng Yigui had someone.

Not far away, a man who looked like a porter untied his belt, faced the corner, and began to pour water.

Fanzi walked over: "Fine!"

"What's the fine?"

"You defecate anywhere, you will be fined!"

Ordinary porters at the emperor's feet are not afraid of trouble. After all, the formal establishment of Dongchang is not as good as that of the Jinyiwei. Not counting the more than 3,000 Jinyiwei generals and honor guards, there are 14 Jinyiwei Qianhu Stations. The Jinyiwei personnel establishment is almost three entire units.

The strength of the guards exceeds 20,000.

The Dongchang has only over 200 employees, most of whom are recruited from Jinyiwei. When encountering major and important cases assigned by the Dongchang, they usually recruit people from the street on a temporary basis.

The porter reported his background, but the problem was that Dongchang's eyes were red. How could he let it pass when he finally encountered an opportunity to make money openly and honestly.

"Snapped!"

Fanzi slapped him: "Stop talking nonsense and get the money!"

In this way, all the gangsters from Dongchang went out and harvested a lot in just one morning. They did not dare to extort the rich and powerful gentry, but ordinary people and businessmen from other places suffered.

Just like He Lishun, a young landlord from a wealthy family in Baoding Prefecture, Beizhili, who came to the capital to visit his relatives. He was blackmailed and bankrupted by Dongchang because of a poop on his carriage. He lost all his belongings, 252 taels of silver, and had not a penny left.

.

People like He Lishun are not the only ones.

The people in the capital shouted: "There is no more royal law, and you will be fined for peeing and pooping!"

But the problem is that the capital has adopted the model of Jinzhou. Although there are complaints and curses, the sanitary environment in the capital is getting better day by day.
