Chapter One Hundred and Six: Unrighteous Fortune

Sun Chengzong's entry into the cabinet was without warning in advance.

This has also caused a lot of controversy among the government and the public.

Of course, this does not mean much to Zhang Jingyi.

Sun Chengzong is very powerful, but he is too far away from him.

Of course, Zhang Jingyi himself didn't know that Sun Chengzong helped him resolve a big trouble as soon as he arrived in the capital.

Zhang Jingyi now has a lot of things to deal with.

But he didn't know that Yang Xian, who was demoted, actually went to the Ministry of Personnel to volunteer.

Soon, Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of Personnel, personally talked with him for a moment, and then Zhou Yingqiu entered the palace to meet Wei Zhongxian.

This Minister of Personnel is a heavenly official, who is in charge of the selection of officials in the world, with a high position and a powerful position.

Zhou Yingqiu started his business by currying against Wei Zhongxian, and always followed Wei Zhongxian's leader.

But he is a slippery person. Although Wei Zhongxian had to do what he told him, he tried not to offend those Qingliu.

Yang Xian, who has been demoted now, has been begged for him, but he decided to tell Yang Xian about it, which is considered as a favor.

When he saw Wei Zhongxian, he first gave a big gift in a regular manner. Wei Zhongxian only looked up at him for a moment and said, "How can you come to see us in person?"

"There is such a thing, because this matter is very important, I still need to ask for instructions from nine thousand years." Zhou Yingqiu said respectfully.

Wei Zhongxian put his pen down, flexed his skills, and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Yingqiu said: "After Hanlin's attendant Yang Xian, according to the order, it should be handed over to the local county magistrate. The cabinet has drafted an order, but... he took the initiative to find the official and said he hoped to stay in the capital."

Wei Zhongxian's face suddenly pulled down, and he said coldly: "This is what Your Majesty meant. He wanted to demote his official position. Did he stay if he said he could? Who did he think he was! Zhou Yingqiu, are you crazy? At this time, do you dare to resist the order and disrespect?"

What Wei Zhongxian feared the most was that someone could not obey the order.

Everything else is easy to say, but you don’t even see the emperor’s decree. You are so embarrassed to claim to be my Wei Zhongxian’s person? Do you think that I, Wei Zhongxian, didn’t die fast enough?

Zhou Yingqiu looked smiling: "The problem is not here. Yang Xian means... she would rather be a patrol in Beijing..."

Wei Zhongxian was stunned.

You know, this inspector is just a nine-official officer.

Of course, there was no rule for the capital to set up inspections, but now Zhang Jingyi has set a precedent. It is no big deal to set up another one.

The county magistrate is the seventh official, and the inspection is the nine. Most people will definitely not choose to be a small inspection, let alone a Hanlin attendant who was born in a Jinshi like Yang Xian.

"It seems that this Hanlin is not convinced and can't swallow his breath." Wei Zhongxian laughed.

"Yes, Xiaguan also thinks this is what he meant, but Yang Xian has always been famous. He was a Hanlin attendant and was full of knowledge. To be honest, he was deposed this time. Xiaguan heard that both inside and outside the court and the country had sympathy for him. Now he is unwilling to let him go there, hoping to stay in the capital and fight with Zhang Jing."

Wei Zhongxian nodded: "What do you think about this?"

"This is for Zhang Jingyi. Yang Xian obviously wanted to make real political achievements in the shop, so that people can know that he, a Hanlin who was born in Jinshi, was the real parent official. His original intention... he still despises Zhang Jingyi and also dissatisfied Sun Chengzong's views. But he would not be able to accept it. After all, Sun Chengzong was an imperial teacher and had a high reputation, so... he made this bad decision."

Wei Zhongxian asked again: "So do you think Yang Xian can do it well?"

Zhou Yingqiu was happy. To be honest, although he finally defected to Wei Zhongxian, Zhou Yingqiu was also a Jinshi and a scholar. He was respectful on his face, but he was probably thinking: Nine Thousand Years later, what are you kidding? Zhang Jing is just a martial artist, how can he compare with Hanlin attendants?

So he said without thinking too much: "It will definitely be done well. Yang Xian is now holding a breath in her stomach and reading poetry and books. She has always been a rare talent. Such a person is enough to be a governor and a governor. Just a neighbor, isn't it easy to get it?"

Although Wei Zhongxian had prejudices on scholars, people's belief in scholars has been deeply rooted in people's hearts since the Song Dynasty to the present for nearly a thousand years.

After hearing Zhou Yingqiu's words, he became confident and did not hesitate anymore. He said, "In this way, let's set up a ring to let Zhang Jingyi and Yang Xian try their skills? See which one is higher or lower?"

Zhou Yingqiu smiled and said, "The nine thousand-sai Mingjian, Xiaguan also thinks so. Let's just watch the fun. This is the matter between Hanlin Academy and Zhang Jingyi. Xiaguan heard that Zhang Jingyi was offensive to nine thousand-sai and was against nine thousand-sai everywhere. Xiaguan also held his breath in his heart."

Zhou Yingqiu originally wanted to show that he was sharing his worries for Wei Zhongxian.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian's face changed suddenly and he said sternly: "Where did this sound? Why are there such rumors? Who is making trouble and talking nonsense behind the scenes? We are close friends with Zhang Jingyi, as close as brothers. I never thought that someone outside was so raping. Do you want to alienate the factory guards?"

Zhou Yingqiu never expected Wei Zhongxian to have such a fierce reaction, and his smile was scared and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Wei Zhongxian then became gentle and said lightly: "Don't say these words again in the future. As for your proposal, it's not bad. Just treat it as a sharpening Zhang Jingyi. This is for his own good! He is a rough jade, and he can't be made into a weapon without grinding. Let this... what does this come from?"

"Yang Xian."

"Yes, let this Yang Xian go for inspection and choose a shop for him."

"yes."

…………

The Qingpingfang meetings are held almost every month at the beginning, mid-month and end of the month.

Three times a month.

At this time, the chief banner officials in the Hundred Houses and street leaders and alley leaders were required to participate.

Of course, generally speaking, it was not Zhang Jingyi who presided over the meeting, but Lu Xiangsheng.

Lu Xiangsheng felt that Zhang Jingyi's style of holding meetings was very good, so everyone got together to review their recent gains and losses.

In fact, the so-called street chief and alley chief, to put it bluntly, is just an official, even worse than an official. In any prefecture and county, in the eyes of the official, they are all inferior people.

But here, everyone can sit together.

Not only that, Zhang Jingyi also set up several positions in the Inspection Department, including deputy inspectors, officials, security chiefs, propaganda chiefs, finance chiefs, civil affairs chiefs, etc.

These people are different from street leaders and alley leaders, and they are in charge of their own affairs.

Of course, they are all born into children, and anyone who can pass the exam is unwilling to do such things as a minor official.

When everyone sat down, what Zhang Jingyi was most concerned about was the data reported by everyone, how many new shops have been opened, how many people need to be recruited, how abortions have occurred, whether there are any troubles in the streets recently, how to clean up sanitation, and even new problems are emerging at the moment.

At first, these so-called leaders did not dare to speak freely. After all, with their identities, they actually did not even have the qualifications to speak.

But gradually, with Zhang Jingyi's encouragement, everyone talked more.

According to the rules, Zhang Jingyi here allows everyone to speak freely, even if there is any quarrel about something, it can be tolerated.

Of course, once the meeting is over and a decision is made, no one can criticize the decision.

The venue was noisy and spoke very well. For example, the Civil Affairs Office said that it could negotiate several brothels, and the negotiations had been made, but those in charge of public security naturally seemed hesitant. He was not stupid either. Once the brothels landed, I don’t know how many idle people would attract! After everyone drank, they knew how much trouble would cause, which would increase a lot of difficulties for his work.

Zhang Jing listened carefully and made a decision one by one. Suddenly remembered something and said to the official: "A few days ago, didn't you ask you to find out more data? I am both an inspector and a hundred households in the Jinyiwei. Logically speaking, I should also collect some information. At least I have to be at a clear understanding of the situation in the capital. For example, who has money, who has no money, and who has a high-ranking official family, and what kind of property they have in their families? Of course... It is a taboo thing to ask people about wealth, but generally, I still need to have a clear idea in the guards and the inspection department. How is this done?"

The Si Li's surname was Wang. When he heard this, he immediately had a headache and said with a bitter face: "If you go back to the inspection, this matter is really difficult to deal with. Who has money, especially the officials, how dare the students ask?"

In fact, when Zhang Jing thought about the problem, he did not really want to steal, but he hoped that there would be vague statistics, which would be of great benefit to future business development.

Now seeing Wang Sili in a dilemma, he smiled and said, "What's the difficulty? I think it's very simple."

Wang Sili said, "I would like to ask Inspection Zhang for advice."

Zhang Jing thought for a while and said, "You can do this. You can first bribe a scholar and write a chapter in the scholar's heart. This chapter is based on the topic of "the wine and meat smell of rich people", and scolds the scholars for owning a large amount of land and hiding a lot of money in their homes. Most of this money and land are unjust, so they should be divided and share the worries of the people."

As soon as these words were spoken, Wang Sili's face turned green.

Wang Sili immediately said in frightened: "If this...if you write it out, don't be scolded to death?"

Zhang Jingyi said calmly: "This is what you want. As soon as the Zhang comes out, you just stare at Shilin's reaction, and see who is the most angry and who is the most angry. The more fierce the scolding, the more wealthy the family will be, the more angry the one will jump. It must be that there are mountains of gold and silver at home."

Wang Sili: "..."

Zhang Jing looked at Wang Sili, who was still embarrassed, and then said, "It's just a general calculation, so... I can just know what I know and do it."

As he was talking, someone came out hurriedly and said, "Zhang Baihu, Zhang Baihu, Tianqiaofang next door... has set up a patrol, right next door, and firecrackers are set up."
