Chapter 141

Yan Song had just returned and heard Yan Shifan's report. After hearing this, Yan Song nodded and just cleared out the inventory. He could still make some money.

"Dad. Zhang Hao is still honest this time and didn't say much. This time everyone discussed increasing the price by 20%. Unexpectedly, there was no movement on Zhang Hao. I guess they will increase by 10% tomorrow. Our goods will be sold too early. If they sell tomorrow, they can sell a few hundred taels more!" Yan Shifan looked at Yan Song and said.

"What did you say? The price has increased by 20%, and Zhang Hao bought it?" Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan in surprise and asked.

"Yes, Zhang Hao admitted defeat this time! He knew that he could not continue fighting, so he gave each other a step!" Yan Shifan nodded and said happily.

"Step, admit defeat? He Zhang Hao is the one who admits defeat? He is the one who will give others the steps. What do you think? Are you familiar with Zhang Hao? Tomorrow morning, ask the shop's people to return the money to Zhang Hao and immediately return it to Zhang Hao. Did you hear that? All the extra money is returned to him!" Yan Song looked at Yan Shifan anxiously and said.

When Yan Shifan heard this, he was stunned. How could he return the money to Zhang Hao?

"You, you can't look at Zhang Hao with an ordinary mind. He is not a normal person. If you do this, do you think Zhang Hao is admitting his conscience. Who knows what this kid will do then? Tomorrow morning, he will send it to him and wait for Zhang Hao outside the palace gate!" Yan Song stared at Yan Shifan and continued to speak.

"Isn't this admitting my fault? Zhang Hao has confiscated so much money. He used the money he confiscated to give everyone a step. Isn't it great?" Yan Shifan still looked at Yan Shifan without understanding.

"He is not a normal person!" Yan Song stared at Yan Shifan and said.

"Oh, okay, I'll have someone send it to him early tomorrow morning, but everyone is like this, isn't it okay?" Yan Shifan was still a little unwilling to accept it. It was not about money, but about sending the money back to Zhang Hao. It was a bit too cowardly. His father was also a member of the cabinet and could still be afraid of Zhang Hao.

"You have to remember, you must send it over!" Yan Song explained to Yan Shifan, and Yan Shifan nodded.

And at Xu Jie's mansion, Xu Jie also received a report, but he always felt uneasy. He listened to what Zhang Hao said to him today!

"Well, Fan!" Xu Jie shouted to Xu Fan.

"Dad!" Xu Fan stood up and looked at Xu Jie.

"Tomorrow morning, you go and sell the extra money you sold in the shop and return it to Zhang Hao!" Xu Jie said and continued to eat.

"Ah? Let it be for Zhang Hao? Dad, everyone said that Zhang Hao is rich now, and he has searched millions of taels of silver. What does it matter if he sells it at a higher price?" Xu Fan looked at Xu Jie incomprehensible and said.

"If you want to send it, go and send it!" Xu Jie stared at Xu Fan unhappily and said. He was in a bad mood today, and he even let himself get rid of his words.

"Master, what's wrong with you?" Liang said to Xu Jie in confusion, and Xu Fan's wife also looked at Xu Jie.

"If you ask you to send it, just send it. Don't ask so much!" Xu Jie calmed down his tone and said, "You can't say that he had an argument with Zhang Hao today. Tell them, my daughter is also sitting here. Now I'm so upset.

At the Danfang side, Jiajing was also waiting for Zhang Hao to come back. He didn't know how much money the county magistrates had searched. He just wanted to ask Zhang Hao what he did every day so that he could guide him.

When Zhang Hao returned to the alchemy room, Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao with a smile.

"You, do you want to borrow money again?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing vigilantly and said.

"Hmm? Are you rich again? By the way, today I checked those county magistrates and found how many. The fourteen county magistrates found 500,000 taels. If you are too much, you can lend me!" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and said. If he didn't remind himself, he would have almost forgotten.

"500,000 taels, you underestimate your county magistrates too much, and look down on others too much!" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing with contempt and said.

"What does it mean?" Jiajing asked as Zhang Hao looked at him and didn't understand. Is there more?

"Well, you can write a 2 million IOU, and I happened to bring 2 million taels here today. I know you will definitely borrow it!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing,

When Jiajing heard this, he looked at Zhang Hao in a daze. 2 million taels, so much, that official had been corrupt for more than 100,000 taels.

"Do you want it?" Zhang Hao saw Jiajing without saying anything, and immediately asked Jiajing.

"Yes, of course, but, Zhang Hao, you searched 2 million taels? So much?" Jiajing nodded, looking at Zhang Hao with some disbelief.

"2 million taels? Let me tell you, 3 million taels are cash banking. The other properties have not been counted yet. I am going to sell them all. It is estimated that the minimum value of 5 million taels is 5 million taels, which may be more than just!" Zhang Hao still looked at Jiajing with contempt.

"What did you say? 5 million taels, those county magistrates? They, they!" Jiajing didn't know what to say at this moment, and was shocked. At the same time, he felt that he was about to breathe. This is the county magistrate. They have been corrupt so much, and this is good for the people not to rebel!

"Emperor, what's wrong with you, Master?" Lu Fang first discovered something wrong with Jiajing, and immediately came to support Jiajing. Jiajing broke away from Lu Fang, and then looked at Zhang Hao in disbelief and asked, "What you said is true? 5 million taels, aren't you lying to me?"

"Why are you lying to you? Your Majesty, I discovered that you are the poorest in the entire Ming Dynasty and you still owe money. Do you think you are the poorest?" Zhang Hao still looked at Jiajing with contempt.

Jiajing was not angry at this moment, but was angry.

"They are county magistrates, but the people's direct parents and officials. They face the people directly. They first govern the county, they, they, they!" Jiajing was so angry that he couldn't speak. When Zhang Hao and Lu Fang saw it, they immediately went over to support Jiajing.

"Why is this happening? The Censor, the ministers of the cabinet, the ministers of the six ministries, and the servants of the six departments, why are they all invalid? Why?" Jiajing was so angry at this moment, very unwilling to accept it.

He knew that there must be some corrupt officials below, but he didn't know that they were so corrupt. A county magistrate, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, no wonder that the Ming Dynasty's taxes were not enough, and the people even revolt every day, and disaster relief in various places were saved. The people were just dissatisfied and wanted to rebel. With such a county magistrate, how could the people not rebel?

Jiajing understood everything at this moment, and understood everything. The root of the Ming Dynasty was already rotten. If it was not cleaned up, the Ming Dynasty would not last long for many years!

"Emperor, Your Majesty! Hurry up, help your father and sit down next to you!" Zhang Hao saw Jiajing like this, and quickly spoke, while holding Jiajing to sit down on the chair.

"I understand. I really understand this time. They are the enemies of the Ming Dynasty, they are!" Jiajing recovered and said to Zhang Hao.

"Your Majesty, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam is crooked, there is no way to do anything. Anyway, no one will impeach and no one will hold people accountable. If it were me, I would do it like this too. Wouldn't I be a fool if I didn't do it?

Look at Qin Liangyi, the county magistrate of our Huairou County, who has been a county magistrate for more than 20 years and has been a county magistrate. The local people praised him very much. You said, isn’t it a joke on the Ministry of Personnel? They just select talents like this? Nonsense!" Zhang Hao stood there and spoke.

"There are good officials and honest officials?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao as if he had seen hope.

"Yes, Qin Liangyi is good, at least compared to those corrupt officials, it's not bad. I have also sent someone to inquire about it in Huairou County, and it has a good reputation!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Okay, okay, okay, just have it, it's fine, it's not completely terrible!" Jiajing nodded and said.

"Your Majesty, I want Qin Liangyi to serve as the governor of our Shuntian Prefecture. When the right time is right, I will let him serve as the prefect. Anyway, I can't be the one who always works!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.

"Okay, tomorrow I will give the Ministry of Personnel an order to mobilize Qin Liangyi to Shuntian Prefecture. By the way, have those county magistrates selected?" Jiajing looked at Zhang Hao and asked.

"No, I haven't chosen yet. Anyway, there is no news from the Ministry of Personnel!" Zhang Hao shook his head and said.

"You choose to choose yourself and ask them to give you a list of thirty people. If you want to see them, then choose them yourself. Don't let the Ministry of Personnel choose!" Jiajing stared at Zhang Hao and said.

"I! Can the Ministry of Personnel agree?" Zhang Hao heard it and looked at Jiajing and asked.

"Yes, I order them to do this at that time. You must remember that you must take a look at everyone personally. At least, you must ensure that they are not allowed to be corrupt after taking office. After taking office, they can do things for the people and for me!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.

"Okay!" Zhang Hao nodded and said.

"Hey, it's so bad, it's so bad! I've been hiding here for only a few years. In this way, those civil officials are harming my Ming Dynasty!" Jiajing sat there and sighed.

"Your Majesty, don't be discouraged. In fact, this is the case in the capital. It is normal. Think about it, it is related to those who can be a county magistrate here. They may be fearless. However, if you are a county magistrate in other places, I think there are still many good people, and there are probably many!" Zhang Hao comforted Jiajing and said,

After hearing this, Jiajing nodded, there was such a possibility.

"Zhang Hao, are you free? If you have time, you can visit the whole country and select good county magistrates for me!" Jiajing was confused at this moment and was so angry that he actually wanted Zhang Hao to choose.

"Your Majesty, I don't care about Shuntian Mansion?" Zhang Hao looked at Jiajing and asked back.

"Yes, yes, yes, you still have to take care of Shuntian Mansion, but who will go if you don't go?" Jiajing reacted at this moment, and then he was worried about who would choose those good officials. Lu Bing, he was no longer reliable now, and he was afraid of offending those civil officials.
