Chapter 671

Jingyouzi, Weizuizi, Baoding Mansion's dog legs.

The sluts in Baoding Mansion are not a slang. Baoding people have a strong style of martial arts and a variety of martial arts schools. Naturally, there are also masters. Most of the martial artists who guard the houses and guard the palaces of the princes and nobles in the capital are from Baoding. Over time, the sluts in Baoding have become famous in the capital. The sluts in Baoding Mansion are as famous as the Shaoxing master.

Baoding Prefecture is the southern gate of the capital. It was officially established as the capital of Zhili Province in the early years of Kangxi. The Zhili Governor's Office was the former Baoding Prefecture Office. This is a yamen facing north and south, with a large scale, a rigorous layout, and a mighty man. Zhili Governor Zhao Hongxie was not in the Fuya, but was busy with immigration in Tianjin.

The person who was waiting for Zhenwu's great commander in Futai Yamen was the "Official Tu" Zhao Shenqiao, while Dachun checked the defense arrangements around Futai Yamen. The protection and facilities of Futai were not comparable to those of the post station. He would naturally arrange for Zhenwu to be stationed in Futai Yamen. Baoding practiced martial arts became a trend, so he naturally had to be more careful.

It was only when Zhao Shenqiao arrived at Baoding Prefecture that he learned that Zhenwu had left Beijing to inspect Jin and Shaanxi, and that he was coming in a hurry. He was surprised and did not expect Zhenwu's reaction to be quick.

At the time of Si Wei, Zhenwu and his party quickly entered Baoding Prefecture, moved directly into the governor's office, took a bath and changed their clothes, and heard that Zhao Shenqiao was asking for a meeting outside. He was also eager to learn the details of the matter from Zhao Shenqiao, and immediately ordered: "Xuan him come in."

Zhao Shenqiao has been in Guangdong for the past two years, and Jiangnan has promoted the establishment of a pride. Zhenwu ascended the throne. This is his first time to meet him. As soon as he entered the hall, he respectfully knelt down and said, "I am the uncle Zhao Shenqiao, please respectfully ask the emperor for the peace."

Zhenwu looked up and down at Zhao Shenqiao. After not seeing each other for two years, the "Guan Tu" who was hated by everyone was already very old and thinner. However, looking at his spirits, he couldn't help but sigh inwardly. The ministers at hand were old and were already useless. They had to promote newcomers vigorously and pondered for a moment. He said warmly: "Don't give gifts, give seats, and appreciate tea."

After he thanked him for his gratitude, Zhenwu continued to ask: "Is he still strong in his body after running around in the past two years?"

"I thank the emperor for inquiry." Zhao Shenqiao hurriedly bowed and said, "I can still hold on to this old bone."

Zhenwu nodded slightly and said, "You must cherish your health. Now is the time when you are not in the process of being in trouble. I also pointed out that relying on your efforts, the stalls implemented by Jiangnan have been almost a year. Some things need to be let go of young people. You can take charge of the company."

"It is actually a blessing for the Emperor's subjects to be so compassionate to the people of the Qing Dynasty. The poor ministers respect the sages." Zhao Shenqiao bowed and replied.

Speaking of this, the memorial scene of the relationship between the king and the minister has been finished, and it is time to get to the point. After pondering a little, Zhenwu continued: "I have read your secret letter. What I said is very simple, let me tell you the details."

"Return to the Emperor." Zhao Shenqiao bowed and said, "I was ordered to inspect the disaster-stricken provinces in the north. From Jiangning to Hankou to Henan, we visited along the way. We passed Kaifeng Prefecture, Huaiqing Prefecture entered Shanxi, along Zezhou, Lu'an Prefecture, Qinzhou to Taiyuan Prefecture, and received letters from two supervisors in Yuci County and Yangqu, the prefecture's governor Su Keji, and the governor Su Zhan corruption and invaded the imperial court, and misled the escort of the security silver, pension silver, and the scrupulous silver.

The emperor repeatedly prohibited officials from invading disaster relief money and food. The empress did not believe it, and secretly visited the victims of the two counties and eight towns. It was indeed no one who received the security silver, pension silver, and harm removal silver.

At this time, the two prison students whom Weichen took in said that the other three prison students who investigated the matter together had not been contacted for many days, and no one knew whereabouts. Weichen was anxious and set off for Beijing immediately."

Zhenwu nodded slightly. Although Zhao Shenqiao is harsh, he is honest and upright. Otherwise, he would not have known how many times he had died, so he would not dare to speak nonsense. In addition, the two prison students did not dare to make a fuss out of nothing. They sued the provincial officials and thought for a little while before he asked, "How did those two prison students find out about this situation?"

"Go back to the emperor." Zhao Shenqiao bowed and replied, "I have also asked in detail. According to the two supervisors, after the rain, the drought was greatly relieved. They were also lazy and could not get a trip to Shanxi. They went out to visit together. They learned from the local gentry that the court not only did not issue the retention silver, pension silver, and elimination silver, but instead sent additional personnel to build river embankments."

Building a river embankment? Zhenwu couldn't help but frowned slightly? Is this Shanxi's work-for-relief? Since it is work-for-relief, there shouldn't be a statement that additional servants should be assigned? After pondering for a while, he asked, "Who is responsible for the relief in Shanxi?"

"When the emperor returns to Shanxi, the left censor Kuixu, the Censor of the Censorate of the Censorate."

Kuixu? Zhenwu nodded. It was Kuixu. The one who was in charge of Shaanxi was Laidu, the Minister of Justice of the Ministry of Justice, Funing'an was in Shandong, and Gamintu was in Henan. Kuixu was the son of Grand Secretary Nalan Mingzhu, a strong member of the eight parties, had a wide range of friendships and good popularity. There were many banners in Shanxi, so he was probably familiar with all the officials.

"There is another matter that I dare not speak nonsense without proof." Zhao Shenqiao said cautiously.

"Say." Zhenwu smiled slightly and said, "I don't care about more bad news."

"This statement is suspected of being solicited." Zhao Shenqiao said in a deep voice: "I learned from the visit that the number of donations lost by Shanxi merchants during this drought is not a decimal."

The Shanxi merchants were so rich that they were famous all over the world. This disaster relief was a disaster. How could the Shanxi merchants watch the fun? Zhenwu couldn't help but glance at Zhao Shenqiao. This matter was indeed provocative. However, he quickly realized that what Zhao Shenqiao said was that the local officials forced the Shanxi merchants to lose money, which made them quite dissatisfied. For nothing, the Taiyuan where this matter came to Taiyuan.

After pondering slightly, he asked: "You patrol all the way, how did the victims from all over the country react to the court's relief?"

"I am grateful and praise endlessly. Even Shanxi has not received the Anqian and Pension Bank, and the victims who have eliminated the harm to the silver have praised this relief." Zhao Shenqiao had a walnut-like old face, with a rare smile, and said excitedly: "This relief is not only about sufficient money and food, but also the most worthy of praise is the interest-free loans of the 'Four Great Hengs', so the victims do not need to borrow usury.

Whenever there are famines and famines, few people do not borrow money. They used to borrow money from landlords, gentry, and merchants. The interest rate of interest was far less than the taxes paid to the court, and some were even difficult to pay forever.

I personally think that a large part of the reason why the people are poor is that they are exploited by usury. I have been in the local area for a long time. Although I am well aware of the rampant harm of usury, I am unscrupulous. Although usury is extremely cruel, it cannot be banned. It is probably because the people cannot live without usury. Daily life, birth, old age, sickness, natural disasters, rent and taxes, all of which are inseparable from usury. Because of the existence of usury, they can still survive. If they are banned rashly, many people cannot survive at all.

The interest-free loans of the "Four Great Hengs" avoided the people's exploitation of usury. This not only helped the people resume production, but also helped curb land annexation, help to save the people from danger and emergency, and greatly stimulated the people's support for the court.

Along the way, I was able to deeply feel the people's praise for interest-free lending. This move is an unprecedented good policy. I did not understand the economic method, but I was worried that such a large amount of interest-free lending cannot be implemented for a long time.

For a long-term plan, I beg you to pray that the emperor will vigorously promote low-interest loans. Even if the interest rate is two or three cents, it is far more than the people who borrow usury."

Although it was expected, Zhenwu still smiled when he heard the words. Interest-free lending is indeed a treasure to attract the hearts of the people. He pondered slightly and said: "Interest-free lending is only for the affected areas. I have ascended the throne and have given the people some benefits. Low-interest lending has begun to be implemented now. The amount of lending will increase year by year. The people are in distress and the interest rate cannot be high. At most, I will be able to innovate the 'Four Everlasting' in the future."

The 'Four Everlasting' still need to innovate? Zhao Shenqiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Isn't this possible now? This master is really more than the sky. He hurriedly bowed and said, "The emperor is generous and kind, and sympathetic to the people, which is really a blessing for the Qing Dynasty."

Zhenwu nodded slightly, but slowly restrained the smile on his face and pondered for a moment before he said slowly: "Have you ever seen the Taiyuan Prefect Zhao Fengzhao?"

Zhao Shenqiao couldn't help but be slightly stunned and bowed quickly and said, "In order to prevent the suspicion of being under the melon field, I don't know that I will have a dog son."

After glanced at him, Zhenwu said in a deep voice: "I received a memorial from the governor of Shanxi, Su Keji, impeached Taiyuan magistrate Zhao Fengzhao to force a lawsuit from his subordinates, and handled the lawsuit and forced the money to obtain. He had more than 300,000 taels of corruption. Do you know?"

Zhao Shenqiao was stunned when he heard this. The other party was so shameless and so quick! He had been an official for decades and knew that the thief would bite him to the core. Since the other party dared to openly impeach, he must have done something to bribe several officials. This was a breach of Shanxi Governor Su Keji and others.

Thinking of this, his face suddenly turned pale. Although he was harsh, he still had a love for his child. He had high hopes for the second son who had been a young man who was a Jinshi. This time, he could be considered to have killed Zhao Fengzhao. I am afraid that this matter would be unreasonable.

After a moment of stunned silence, he stood up and knelt down, took off his top of his head, and kowtowed, "My family, a Jinshi of three generations, has received the emperor's kindness from the emperor. He has always been honest and honest, and has been hard-working and self-disciplined as his family's family. His son is greedy for bribes, and the ministers dare not show favoritism. I beg the emperor to investigate strictly. If it is true, I beg the emperor to dismiss all his family from the imperial court to correct the rules and regulations."

Zhenwu glanced at him with great appreciation. Zhao Shenqiao's father, brother and son, three generations and six Jinshi, enjoyed a high reputation in the Qing Dynasty. The "Three Generations Jinshi" was not an ordinary honor. Zhao Shenqiao did not defend his son, but was willing to use the honor and disgrace of the Zhao family as his son. Not only was he extraordinary, but he was also extremely experienced.

After pondering slightly, he said: "Zhao Fengzhao served as the prefect of Taiyuan for 14 years. If he had bribed more than 300,000 taels of bribes, his hometown in Changzhou would be rich. I have ordered people to go to Changzhou for investigation with great fanfare."
