Chapter 438 Manage the flood?
Chapter 438
Zhang Hao asked Yan Song if Zhang Jing was like this. Zhang Hao looked at Zhang Jing’s information and said that this person was indeed a capable minister. He not only knew how to govern the people, but also knew about military affairs. He was just always excluded by Yan Song. Now Zhang Hao wants to hear how Yan Song evaluated him.
"Zhang Jing is a man with a talent and reputation. He just said that he is noble and noble, and he certainly has it, but he only has the court in his heart, no emperor!" Yan Song sat there and spoke.
"Oh, as long as the people, there is no emperor?" Zhang Hao was very shocked when he heard this. In Zhang Hao's opinion, this evaluation was actually very impressive, but Zhang Hao also knew that this was also Zhang Jing's fatal weakness.
"That's right, he has to do whatever he does according to the law. So, it would be better to say that the emperor doesn't like him before," Yan Song nodded and said,
When Zhang Hao heard this, he understood what was going on.
"Zhang Hao, I still hope you can help me with my affairs. Although I believe what you said just now, I really can't resist so many people coming to impeach this way!" Yan Song said to Zhang Hao.
"Then what do you want me to do? I'll hammer them to death. The emperor can speak for you. After all, the emperor probably has no intention of killing you. For the rest, I can't say that I'll hammer them to death one by one, right?" Zhang Hao looked at Yan Song and asked with a smile.
"That's not necessary, just say that you, your father-in-law, Zhou Yan, Yu Dafang, and Wang Bangrui, they all admire you very much. You can talk to them! Let them restrain the people below!" Yan Song looked at Zhang Hao and started talking.
"What I said is useful?" Zhang Hao heard it and looked at Yan Song in surprise and said.
"Of course it's useful. They still admire you. Needless to say, your father-in-law, they still admire you very much! I believe they will listen to your words!" Yan Song looked at Zhang Hao and asked.
Zhang Hao sat there thinking for a while, then said, "No, is the person who impeached you now, is the disciple of several of them?"
"It's mainly Zhang Jing. The people who were called up this time were all around Zhang Jing, so they are just staring at Zhang Jing's actions now. If they can convince Zhang Jing, of course there is no problem, but if you don't know Zhang Jing, there is nothing you can do, hey!" Yan Song said this and sighed.
"Okay, I know, if you have the chance, I will talk, but you should do the errands assigned to you by the emperor. If the emperor wants to deal with you, it will be useless to find anyone. I will be the first to stand up!" Zhang Hao said with a smile as he looked at Yan Song.
"I know, I know!" Yan Song nodded.
After chatting for a while, Yan Song left and went back. Zhang Hao did not continue to take him in the office, but continued to go to the caves. Now he needs to make out the glass quickly. As long as he makes out, he can go to Shanxi with confidence, so as to save the matter here.
It was busy until the evening when Zhang Hao returned to the Danfang.
At this moment, Jiajing was already sitting there watching the memorial. Now the plum rain season is already in the south, and there are typhoons along the coast. What Jiajing is most worried about is the big rivers. He is worried that in summer, there will be floods and disasters. Once he goes out, the people will suffer great losses, but they will still be in chaos and the people will have no food!
"Your Majesty!" After Zhang Hao arrived at the Dan Room, he immediately called out Jiajing.
"Well, I'm back, let Lu Fang prepare the meal for you!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao, holding the memorial in his hand and continuing to watch. At the same time, there were maps in front of him, and there were many previous memorials.
"What are you doing?" Zhang Hao asked to Jiajing.
"Looking at the previous memorial, I am worried that there may be floods in the south this year, and it has happened every year in previous years. Although at the beginning of the year, I have allocated a sum of money to ask them to repair the river channels and embankments, I don't know how it is!" Jiajing sat there, saying without raising his head.
"If you want to clean it up completely, it will be even more troublesome to spend money like this. It is better to organize it thoroughly and clean up several rivers that are prone to floods, and then send people to inspect and repair them every year!" Zhang Hao said and returned to his position.
"Then do you know how much it costs? It's light!" Jiajing glanced at Zhang Hao and said.
"You have to do as much money. Anyway, you still have money on your hands. For example, if you have built the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, how many people will be along the coast? They don't know that the emperor spent money to improve it? Anyway, I feel that this is worth it. If you guarantee that the dam will not be broken for a few years, the money you lost will be enough to make up for the expenses, and then the court will save money!
Besides, how much money can you do to do as much as you want, pick out the rivers that are often flooded and make them completely for him!" Zhang Hao sat there and said,
Jiajing heard him sitting there thinking, and after a while, he spoke, "Zhang Hao, why don't you try this winter? You go to supervise the Yellow River. As long as you go, I will repair it no matter how much I spend!"
"What does it mean? And me, why do you have everything?" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing in shock when he heard this.
"Hey, isn't I able to do anything? You know in your heart that I took out 1 million taels, and I guess there will be no 300,000 taels of money that I really use to build rivers. Most of the money is stripped off by those officials layer by layer. If you go, I won't worry. I see who dares to be corrupt!" Jiajing sat there and said to Zhang Hao.
"Take it down, I won't go, you can find someone, you can ask the cabinet minister to go and repair it!" Zhang Hao waved his hand immediately and said.
"Who goes to the cabinet? Who has this deterrent power? Yan Song and the others dare to take it himself, and the same is true for your father-in-law and the others. If others do not have this deterrent power, the officials below will still dare to make money!" Jiajing said to Zhang Hao.
"I won't go, I don't have that time. Besides, you can also ask me for the river construction, really!" Zhang Hao sat there and complained.
When Jiajing heard this, he sighed helplessly. No one was available to him. Although there were so many ministers in the court, he knew the virtues of those ministers. It was impossible to completely prevent the officials in the court from being corrupt. However, as long as Zhang Hao went out, no one dared to be corrupt. Now, no one dared to be corrupt in Shuntian Mansion.
Zhang Hao is also good to those officials and often gives them money as a subsidy. Basically, each county magistrate can subsidize 100 taels of silver in one quarter, and other officials and yamen runners will have it. Therefore, it can be said that no one dares to be corrupt under Shuntian Mansion, and it is not worth it. They know that Zhang Hao is the commander of the Jinyiwei. Once Zhang Hao knows that they are corrupt, he will be miserable.
"By the way, Master, Yan Song is here to find me today!" Zhang Hao sat there and said to Jiajing. Jiajing glanced at Zhang Hao.
Zhang Hao immediately narrated what he said to Yan Song to Jiajing!
After hearing this, Jiajing said to Zhang Hao: "That's fine. Don't look for those cabinet ministers. He must know many things in his heart, and he still wants to drag you into the water. Just tell him that I don't mean to kill him now. Others, no matter what, of course, the news of your meeting with Yan Song must be spread. Don't participate in the others!"
"I understand, Your Majesty, when you want to kill him, you tell me I'll go and hammer him to death!" Zhang Hao said to Jiajing.
"Baby, why are you killing him now? Now Zhang Jing and the people below are just focusing on impeachment in all aspects. After they come up, the impeachment memorial was two times before. It's okay. I will impeach some small officials and find out corruption. I will deal with them. Only they impeach Yan Song. I can't move now!" Jiajing said with a headache to Zhang Hao.
Those officials who just came up were really as Yan Song said. The honest officials were even more terrifying than corrupt officials. They just stared at the braids of other ministers, but it would be difficult for you to let them do something well!
Soon, after dinner from the Dan Room, Zhang Hao returned to his mansion.
"Husband, this evening, my family received an invitation from Zhang Jing, the Minister of the current cabinet, to whom he said he was going to get married and invited you to the banquet. It will take ten days later!" Xu Shiyun came over with the invitation and handed it to Zhang Hao.
"Please, I'm not familiar with him again!" Zhang Hao heard this and was stunned for a moment but still took it.
"Can they not invite you? You are the commander of the Jinyiwei. If you don't send the invitation to you, how can he invite other ministers?" Xu Shiyun said with a smile.
"Okay, you prepare a gift. If I'm not at home, you will send someone to send it to me that day!" Zhang Hao said to Xu Shiyun. "I know!" Xu Shiyun nodded and said.
In the next few days, Zhang Hao was busy at the workshop, and Jiajing felt strange. After this bastard returned to Beijing this time, he didn't go to Shuntian Mansion, but just hid in the workshop. However, Jiajing couldn't urge him. After all, Zhang Hao still had a lot of things in his hands. That morning, Zhang Hao had already tried to start producing glass.
"It's out!" At this time, a worker shouted excitedly. Zhang Hao knew that it was the slurry of glass. The slurry began to pass through a specific pipeline and entered the template. Many workers began to produce.
Zhang Hao stood there and watched, watching the glass slurry templates being pushed out and placed in the warehouse next to him. The temperature here was so hot, and Zhang Hao also asked the workers to take turns, each shift was one quarter of an hour and went in to work.
One morning, several thousand pieces of four-foot-by-foot glass were produced in this kiln, but it was still cooling, and some had already cooled down. Zhang Hao looked at the quality of the glass and was very satisfied. The glass produced by Zhang Hao is still very thick.
"Okay, other kilns must continue to start production!" After Zhang Hao finished inspecting, he also began to let other kilns try to produce glass.
Chapter completed!
