I used to think you were a monk, but now I realise you’re a sinister beast in a robe ……”
“Tsk tsk ……Certain people look human-like but are nasty and dirty behind their backs ……”
Although the demoness Ruonan let Zhu Pingan go, she did not give Zhu Pingan a good face for several days in a row, and also sneered at him once or twice from time to time.
Zhu Pingan, after all, was at fault first and was embarrassed every time ……
Painter did fight for Zhu Pingan time and time again, not understanding why the demoness Ruo Nan slandered her own uncle time and time again ……
On the second day, after fulfilling all the ceremonies, Zhu Pingan formally assumed his duties and received obeisance from the officials.
However, Zhu Pingan is in charge of the military, is not destined to stay in the government office for a long time, even more than Chu Xiong and their sub-patrols have to be rooted in the local, so these officials, although respectful, but Zhu Pingan does not tend to climb.
Of course, Zhu Pingan is also happy to see this.
After the official inauguration, Zhu Pingan found that the position of military preparation is a big pit, black and big, simply like the love flat that line: not enough money, the actors are not determined, the script is not available …….
Zhu Pingan currently only has a special imperial edict issued by the court to ‘rectify military preparation’, but nothing else.
There are no men and horses. Although Zhu Ping An has the right to command all the militia in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the current situation is that there is not a single militia under the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Criminal Investigation Department;
No money and food. Currently, Zhu Ping An does not have a single penny or bucket of grain, and the Jiangzhe Tidings and Prosecution Department does not have a budget for this either.
There are no camps.
There is no ……
Only Zhu Pingan is a bare-bones commander, nothing else. Zhu Pingan’s most important current problem is to solve these problems.
On the third day off, Zhu Pingan went to visit Marquis Li Tingzhu of Linhuai. Marquis Li Tingzhu served as Yingtian left military governor of the river and led the left guard of the navy, also in Yingtian, in reason, Zhu Pingan should go to pay a visit.
Marquis Li Tingzhu did not live in the governor’s mansion, but in Yingtian rented a set of mansions to live.
LinHuaiHou LiTingZhu rent room to live is not can’t afford to buy a room, in fact, with LinHuaiHou’s economic strength, in yingtianfu buy a set of mansion is not a matter of fact, but because of HongWuDaDi’s strong anti-corruption policy, the ming dynasty law prohibit local officials to buy a house in the place of office, any official dare to buy property in the place of their own inauguration, no matter what the reason, all of them will be 50 lashes, dismissed from the official position, the purchase of all the property confiscated. The law expressly provides that: “all the officials of the Department of Justice, shall not see the appointment of the premises to buy a house. Violators flogged fifty, dismissed, fields and houses into the official.”
It is because there is a system of constraints, even if it is not bad money Linhuai Hou Li Tingzhu can only rent a room in Yingtianfu.
The capital city did not count.
Zhu Pingan also often heard some of his colleagues complaining that this system was too harsh, but Zhu Pingan felt that this system was ingenious. In modern times, Zhu Pingan had seen too many corrupt officials corrupted by property and other bribes. By sending officials houses or giving them big discounts when they bought houses, this kind of disguised bribery technique, the unscrupulous had corrupted many officials who did not have a firm stance. This ban of the Ming Dynasty, although it could not put an end to corruption, but at least it solved part of the corruption.
In addition to prohibiting local officials from purchasing property in the area where they ruled, the Ming Dynasty also prohibited the taking of local women as wives and concubines. The law stipulated that any government, state or county official who married a woman as a concubine during his term of office would be punished by eighty strokes of the cane. The woman’s family and the marriage celebrant and the same offence, the wife and concubine still two away from the. Women to the relatives, property gifts into the official. Such a provision is to prevent officials to marry a local woman, the female family rely on the power of the official to benefit, which in turn led to more serious family corruption.
Of course, even the best policy, the implementation will always be drilled all kinds of various loopholes, but it is much better than no policy.
Zhu Pingan brought a gift of obeisance to the front of the mansion where Marquis Linhuai was staying, and delivered an obeisance.
“Fifth Auntie you are here! What need is there for an invitation for you to come, you and I can just go straight in. The Marquis specially instructed me to come and wait at the gatehouse yesterday, just in case the door didn’t recognise you, and ordered that as long as you came, you would be invited into the mansion immediately.”Only when Zhu Pingan delivered the invitation, a surprised voice came out from the gatehouse.
Then, a somewhat familiar person came out of the gatehouse, and it was none other than one of Marquis Linhuai’s small butlers, Li II, from the capital at the time.
It turned out that Marquis Linhuai had learnt yesterday that he had come to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to take up his post, and knowing that he would surely come to visit, he had specially asked Li Er Er, who knew him, to come to the concierge and wait for him to come to his door to give him convenience.
“Labouring uncle hangs on, steward Li has worked hard.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand and said.
“We are all family, why should Auntie be polite. Auntie, please come in quickly, I’ll take you to see the Marquis.”Li Er Er bent down and said.
This mansion rented by Marquis Li Tingzhu of Linhuai was originally a private garden that was later converted into a residence. The area of the courtyard was smaller than Marquis Linhuai’s mansion in the capital, but it also covered quite a large area. The courtyard was beautifully constructed, with a pond dug into the ground and rocks stacked on top of each other, making it look like an immortal residence, and the living environment was much better than that of Zhu Pingan’s office in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Jiangsu.
Zhu Pingan was led into the mansion by Li II. On the way, Li II asked the maid of the mansion and learnt that the Marquis of Linhuai was examining his young son’s studies in the study, so he led Zhu Pingan straight to the study.
He was in the study, so he guided Zhu Pingan straight to the study!
Is it possible that the bear child Rui Ge’er also followed Marquis Linhuai to Yingtianfu? Zhu Pingan sniffed and guessed.
Zhu Pingan two parties came to the front of the study, have not yet entered it, heard the Marquis Linhuai Li Tingzhu angry voice, the sound of the bamboo board beating meat, and the bear child Ruiguoer pig-killing howl …….Hearing the very characteristic howling of the bear child, Zhu Pingan was clear that he had guessed correctly, and the bear child Ruiguo’er had indeed come.
However, but the test of schoolwork? How did the corporal punishment get up? How did the bear child mess with his old man again ……
“Marquis, the fifth aunt is here.”Li Er Er seemed to have become accustomed to this scene and went forward to knock on the door.
“Zi Hou is here, quickly come in.”
Marquis Linhuai Li Tingzhu heard the report and dragged his obese body out, still holding a cane in his hand, which he had just used to teach the bear child a lesson, and this time he hadn’t had time to throw it away.
“Ping An pays his respects to uncle.”Zhu Pingan arched his hand in salute.
“We are all family, why do we need all this red tape, quickly please come in.”Marquis Linhuai Li Tingzhu patted Zhu Pingan’s shoulder with his fat hand and invited Zhu Pingan into the study.
Into the study, Zhu Pingan really saw the bear child Rui Ge’er, at this moment the bear child tears a, snot a, shoulder also a twitching, a small fat face two tears especially joyful, face a both aggrieved and unconvinced expression, two fat hands desperately rub, vaguely visible palms red marks ……It seems that the bear child Ruiguo’er was just hit by Linhuai Hou with a cane on the palm of his hand!
