Beijing!
In the night, there was a room with bright lights.
Under the flickering candlelight, an elderly man in clothes was examining the folder in his hand by the faint candlelight.
"There is a severe drought in the middle of Hebei Province, and corpses are lying thousands of miles away. I think this is a warning from God. Your Majesty should be strict with yourself and set an example for the world. I think Hai Ruxian, the county magistrate of Xingguo, has promoted clearing of the fathers, equalized taxes, and repeatedly vindicated false and wrong cases during his term of office."
, cracking down on corrupt officials has won the hearts and minds of the people. It can be used for inspections, supervising officials in central Hebei, and relieving the people."
"The Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal is blocked, and ships from the south cannot navigate it. If there is any deviation in the grain transportation, the relevant officials of the Ministry of Revenue should be held accountable!"
"The Shenji Battalion is the top priority for the defense of the capital. The issue of arrears in military pay must be resolved in time. I recently obtained the design drawings of new firearms from the Francis people. I am convinced that the Great Sheng Kingdom must not lag behind others in the field of firearms..."
"The decline of a country depends on the land. If the people have no land and the land is seriously annexed, the country will not be a country. Since ancient times, the world has been corrupted and bandits have been everywhere. The people have become thieves, all because of hunger and cold."
"The people are hungry and cold, all because there is no land to cultivate."
"Those who win the hearts of the people win the world. The hearts of the people are food, and the giant deer will die without a burial place. If we continue to implement this change, we are going against the will of heaven, but we are bound to win..."
Lines of vigorous and powerful handwriting appeared on the white paper.
Even though it was late at night, Zhang Julu was still working.
The morning dynasty of the Dasheng Dynasty is at three o'clock in the morning, which is "Drum Three Stricts"
Behind the three tongs and drums, hundreds of officials lined up to wait for the bell to ring and open the door to enter.
Civil and military officials entered in two columns: left and right.
After the emperor entered and sat down, he started to "sing" from Honglu Temple.
At this time, two groups of civil and military officials came forward in unison.
The civil servants "go north to the west", and the military officers "go north to the east", and then salute and play the role.
In other words, after finishing the affairs, Zhang Julu may only be able to rest for a while before going to court.
Such high-intensity work is even worse than that of Emperor Taizu of the Dasheng Dynasty.
"Cough cough cough..."
"Cough cough cough..." Zhang Julu coughed a few times.
It's no wonder that such a high-intensity iron man can't bear it, let alone a chief assistant like Zhang Julu who is getting older.
After all, Zhang Julu is just an old man at this time.
"You are so busy working every day, so busy. Does this world belong to you?"
"Do you deserve to be so desperate?" Hearing Zhang Julu's cough, Zhang Julu's wife came to the study holding an oil lamp.
Putting the oil lamp on the table beside him, Zhang Julu's wife patted the chief and assistant minister on the back.
"Of course this world is not my Lao Zhang's world!"
"This world is not your Majesty's world, nor is it the Queen Mother's world!"
"This world belongs to everyone!" Zhang Julu coughed twice, and after he recovered, he said to his wife with a smile.
"You, just tell me this. If people in the palace hear this, memorials to impeach you will probably be on the table today!"
After gently rubbing Zhang Julu's back, the woman complained.
"Although all the officials are respectful to you now, how many people regard you as a powerful official?"
"How many people are hoping that you will fall down soon?"
"Let me tell you, why do you do so much to help the royal family maintain this country, but will they appreciate it?"
"The royal family has done the most to kill donkeys!"
It can be seen that Zhang Julu's wife is not a simple person.
Of course she is aware of her husband's ambitions, but at the same time she is also worried about her husband's future fate.
"The world is rotten, like a leaky mess, and I am like a paper framer."
"But Lao Zhang did this not for their royal family, nor for our Zhang family!"
"There must be a few people in this world who work as paper framers to make this dilapidated house maintain its existence."
"Otherwise, if the house collapses, it will destroy everyone in the world. Lao Zhang doesn't think much. It is enough to extend Dasheng's life for several decades!"
Zhang Julu said with a cheerful smile, as the person who stands at the pinnacle of power.
He is most aware of the great crisis hidden under this peaceful and prosperous age.
The decline of the dynasty was irreversible, and all Zhang Julu wanted was to prolong the peaceful life.
"You, you!!" The woman simply sat aside and stopped rubbing her back with Zhang Julu, "You have already saved Dasheng once, is it possible that you are risking your own life?"
"It's not worth it. The royal family of the Great Sheng Dynasty will not be grateful to you, and the people of the world will not be grateful to you either!"
Hearing his wife's somewhat complaining tone, Zhang Julu could only stand up and comfort his wife.
"But the world is at peace. Maybe I can continue the national destiny for a hundred years for the Dasheng Dynasty!"
"A hundred years can last a generation a lifetime!"
"My husband once said that the affairs of the family and the state are the affairs of the world. Julu has read books for so many years just so that everyone in the world can enjoy a few years of peace!" Zhang Julu explained to his wife.
"But you've done enough, they don't deserve you to do more!"
"Husband, even if you don't think about yourself, you still have to think about us!" Zhang Julu's wife said.
"No, not enough!"
"It's not enough!" At this point, no one could shake Zhang Julu's persistence.
The woman knew Zhang Julu's temperament, so she just sighed and said nothing more.
"Madam, I learned something from Mingyang today, which is quite interesting!"
"Take a look!" After saying that, Zhang Julu handed a letter written by Wang Mingyang to his wife.
"Huang Tinghui?"
"I think I heard it once!" Zhang Julu's wife said.
"When Mingyang came to the house, I mentioned it once. I really didn't expect this scholar to have the idea of ​​​​opening a sea transport. Not many ministers in the court have such a vision."
"The last pirate disaster was easily put down by him. He is a rare talent!" Zhang Julu gave his own evaluation.
"In this way, he is a smart man!" Zhang Julu's wife said, "My husband said this, but you want to promote him?!"
"If he can pass the Jinshi examination in the future, it will naturally be necessary to promote him. As for what will happen in the future, who knows?"
"But if you can use this method to find the Jade Buddha hidden in the lake, if you have a tough and steady character!"
"Perhaps you can do better than me in the future!" Behind the scenes, Zhang Julu admired Huang Tinghui very much.
"I didn't expect that such a scholar would fall into my husband's eyes!" Zhang Julu's wife said.
"But considering the date, I'm afraid the Jade Buddha will be delayed for a while before arriving in the capital. I heard that the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal is blocked."
"If the emperor knew about it, then the Xiao family would..." Zhang Julu's wife said.
"On your birthday, how can you see the light of blood!"
"This guy has done a good job, how can he let everything he does go to waste?"
"Madam, you must know that I, Lao Zhang, am the chief minister of Dasheng Kingdom!"
"Below one person and above ten thousand people, the chief minister!"
