Chapter 294: There is a reason for everyone to impeach

Li Longji finally went to heaven. Even if many ministers shouted and shouted below, he could only hear it in heaven and would not fall directly. After the ministers quarreled for a while, they stood on the ground and were looking forward to the emperor's safety and were ready to impeach Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

In fact, they wanted to impeach Zhang Zhong, but this matter was caused by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and the two of them also have official positions, so they cannot impeach Zhang Zhong for any discipline.

After this time, Li Longji finally came down from the sky and looked at the hot air balloon reluctantly. He knew that it would be difficult if he wanted to ride it in the future.

Gao Lishi was also accompanying him. Listening to the impeachment of the ministers, he was not worried that something would happen to Xiaobao and Juanjuan. No matter how powerful the ministers were, Xiaobao and Juanjuan would be dismissed from office and would never be arrested and beheaded.

Li Longji found an excuse to run away, leaving behind a group of ministers to discuss impeachment when he went to court tomorrow. Li Longji, who escaped the ministers' entanglement, did not forget to instruct others not to break the hot air balloon, and to preserve it well, and maybe it will be used again at any time.

Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan are free here. They just spend the whole day visiting the construction site. There is nothing else to be busy with, and secret plans don't count.

The *** people at Sihai Academy may think that the price of silver ore they bought was good, so they sent a batch to the county every few days. They didn't know how so many ores were transported. It didn't feel like personal behavior, and it was not something that a small team could do.

The construction site has been almost done. The people are working very hard and the progress is very fast. Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan decided to prepare the first model first, and then they can take the time to go to Luzhou to check it out. It is absolutely impossible to take Luzon Island without taking it. It has been a month since the new news has not been sent back. I wonder if there has been an important person there.

The two of them didn't know that the hot air balloons they sent to the capital had become powder kegs, and many people wanted to impeach them.

In the evening, Wang Juan found Xiaohong, Pomegranate and Cherry and said to the three of them: "The last time happened was actually because Cherry had not found a family, otherwise no one would have used such an excuse to make a decision. Xiaohong is said to get married next year and will give her a big gift at home.

What about you two? Are there any one who is a big deal? If you don’t marry, you won’t get married in the future. If you have one, I will help you see it. If not, I will choose one for you.”

When Xiaohong heard the little lady's words, she lowered her head and didn't say anything. It seemed that she wanted to get married next year. Pomegranate and Cherry had nothing to say before, but when she heard the latter saying that she wanted to choose it instead of asking herself to look for it, she became nervous immediately, afraid that she would really choose one, and that she would be the one she didn't like at that time.

When Wang Juan saw the reactions of the two people, she was sure that both of them had people in their minds, but they didn't show it, so she said to Cherry: "I think Hu Zi is good, so it's better to do it with Xiaohong and the others next year."

"Little lady, Hu Zi has someone he likes, and he is also from the yard. It's not me. I can't destroy others. I'm not in a hurry. Really, I don't have to worry." Cherry quickly refused.

"It doesn't matter. Even if he has someone he likes, I will ask him to marry you. He didn't tell me, so I just pretend that I don't know. You don't like someone you like. Okay, just listen to me." Wang Juan said carelessly.

Cherry was really anxious now, his face turned red, and finally said very quietly: "Actually, Erniu didn't marry a wife either."

"Oh~! Erniu? Okay, I'll ask Erniu again to see if he is willing." Wang Juan understood now. Cherry likes Erniu, and I don't know which Erniu is better. His name looks very honest, but he has nothing to do with being honest.

Cherry stopped talking now, and also imitated Xiaohong's appearance, lowered her head and fiddled with the corner of her clothes. She stopped talking, but the pomegranate next to her spoke out, "Little lady, don't ask Erniu, look, the hairpin on Cherry's head is not the one she bought herself."

"Don't say, don't say." Cherry quit now, and came to grab the pomegranate, and while grabbing it, he ejaculated the bottom of the pomegranate. "I don't know who it is. I said that I was doing things outside and holding on to the side. Many times I have a bad appetite and I have to get some stomach-nourishing things to send them over. Follow the river and walk up the capital. After walking through the capital, I will reach Huayuan. After passing Huayuan, I am Sanshui, and Sanshui is not as good as Xiao Luoshui."

Now Wang Juan also knew who pomegranate likes. It turned out to be Song Jinggong, who was nearly ten years older than pomegranate. Seeing the two people fighting there, Wang Juan asked Xiaohong again: "Do you know if Song Jinggong also likes pomegranate?"

"Mr. Song asked someone to send a lot of things to pomegranates some time ago, including me and cherry, but we have fewer ones. There are only more pomegranates, and there are also a small boat folded on paper with words written on it. I don't know what the words it is, so the pomegranate just won't be allowed to be seen."

Xiaohong betrayed the pomegranate, thought for a while and said, "Also, after the pomegranate was collected, I bought a ginseng and sent it to Mr. Song. It is estimated that it is almost time to reach the place. Now I am trying hard to study how to grow ginseng. It is said that ginseng is too expensive, and if you always buy it, you will spend a lot of money. You have to use money to live in the future, so it is better to plant it yourself."

Wang Juan suddenly realized that no wonder pomegranates always looked for sawdust recently. They thought she was studying mushrooms. Unexpectedly, it was ginseng. At this time, pomegranates and cherries were no longer arguing. When they heard Xiaohong's words, pomegranates became much more honest.

"Pomegranate, if you want to plant ginseng, you have to go to Xiaobao to ask. Xiaobao should be able to come up with some ideas. It can't be planted like mushrooms, so it can't be planted at all. Okay, I know today. You will also have your share when Xiaohong gets married next year."

Wang Juan came over and asked. What she feared most was that all the three girls like Zhang Xiaobao, which would be troublesome. She would definitely not allow it, and she was afraid that the three girls would be sad.

Fortunately, I have chosen the person I like. Since that's the case, I don't need to ask anymore.

Xiaohong and the other two sent Wang Juan out of the door, then turned around and started making trouble again.

Zhang Xiaobao was still waiting for Wang Juan’s news. When he saw Wang Juan come back, he asked, “Do you know who they are?”

"What do you think?" Wang Juan nodded, but did not say anything.

"Where can I guess? As long as there are no people outside, otherwise I will still be troublesome." Zhang Xiaobao was very eager to know who they were.

"We are all our people, each of them is secretly doing a good job of keeping confidentiality, just like a spy, I will tell you when the time comes." Wang Juan said to Zhang Xiaobao with a smile.

The next morning, when Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan came to the construction site again, the people from Sihai Academy came over again. This time, unlike before, they actually transported silver ore with an estimated 10,000 taels of silver. Zhang Xiaobao was very doubtful if *** had sent all the ores here to sell.

Wang Juan was very puzzled and asked Zhang Xiaobao, "What do they want to do when they transported so much ore?"

"What else can we do? In addition to changing some money to buy technology, the purpose is to make us unable to eat it at once and sell it to other merchants. Otherwise, the land they have bought will not make any money, and the matter of buying straw will not play the role it should."

Zhang Xiaobao said with certainty that he discovered the amount of ore he had sold recently. He should have used a batch of first ore to consume his copper coins and cloth. This time it was a new one, and he wanted to support the other two ways to make money.

"So that's the case. I understand. The coal matter has been done almost. It will be transported to the place in two days. It's time to make a stove and collect materials for making honeycomb coal."

Wang Juan said, thinking about it, and added: "At that time, we'd better collect all the straws, so that when their plan fails, they will never really make the straws very useful."

"Not just that, I am also planning to transport straw from other places and sell it to them together, so that they know that some places are not something that can be used for any strategy." Zhang Xiaobao thought a little more than Wang Juan.

"Then you make arrangements. If you are sleepy, go to bed early. To arrange things to receive officials from all walks of life tomorrow, you need to make arrangements in advance to avoid making mistakes at that time."

Wang Juan yawned and turned around to let someone boil water.

Three days later, many people came out of Luoyang, led by Zhang Zhong and rushed to Baoxin County with a group of officials. There were also people from Zhang and Wang's family, including a house, which contained Xiao Bei and others. This time they were about to follow their brother and sister.

The team was even bigger this time. All the officials had their own cars and the staff were given a long team. When passing by a place, the people in this place were surprised to find a way to ask what was going on and if something was a big deal.

Xiao Bei kept urging the team to hurry up. She wanted to see her brother and sister early. The officials from the places where the team walked must also prepare in advance. If you want to greet them, at least you have to prepare orders of wine and food.

As a result, Zhang Zhong followed the places where wine and food were prepared. In his words, he wanted to see his son and daughter-in-law early. In fact, the real reason was that he was very disgusted with local officials using the government's money to treat them.

When some officials gave gifts, Zhang Zhong was calm and silent, and the people at home were even more afraid to pick up other people's things. Just like that, along the way, Zhang Zhong seemed to offend people all the way.

After five days of travel, everyone was not too far from Baoxin County, something happened finally. Some officials who prepared the wine, food and gifts saw that Zhang Zhong was not giving face, wrote a memorial to impeach Zhang Zhong, saying that he disturbed the people all the way and wanted to put on airs and invite people to treat him to eat, etc., etc.

It seems that if someone uses a fast horse to send it to the capital, it will be unwilling to accept it if Zhang Zhong is not disgusted once.

The ministers in the court kept impeaching Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan a few days ago, but they never succeeded. As soon as Li Longji went to court, he had many things to discuss, and all things that seemed more important, such as Fengshan, sea transportation, whether the spring plowing in various places was done, and also asked which place had insufficient rainfall this year and whether to open a regular settlement.

One thing after another, the ministers could not ignore the matter immediately and then specifically mention the impeachment of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan.

When he was upset, the memorials of impeaching Zhang Zhong came one by one. After discussing it privately, the ministers began to use this as an excuse to impeach Zhang Zhong. It was very aggressive. Even Zhang said that he didn't see it and let others act.

That's what happened today. As soon as Li Longji came to court, he didn't wait to talk about how to too high the grain output and how to help the canal in farming. The ministers took out the memorials and attacked Zhang Zhong.

Some people say that his family has a lot of money, and they suspect that he is an affair with a businessman, while others say that he is an official in Luoyang and the excuse of leading officials out is to understand the Tang Dynasty, but in fact he accumulates money for his family and collects a lot of money along the way.

Instead, he said everything, so he had to clean up Zhang Zhong.

Li Longji listened at first and found it very interesting. He listened to the officials' various reasons, and I have to admire the officials' ability in this regard.

But as he listened, his face changed. The main reason was that someone impeached Zhang and Wang's two private soldiers to train soldiers, which was suspected of rebellion. He asked the emperor to send someone to see if the guards in Zhang and Wang's two families were carrying good weapons.

When he heard this, Li Longji stared at Zhang Shuo. A few days ago, Zhang Shuo used such an excuse to speak. Could it be that Zhang Shuo also participated in today's matter?

Zhang said that he wanted to let others continue to say that he would get the power he could not control again, but when he saw that the emperor looked over, he immediately knew that something was wrong. Why did someone mention the breakfast of Zhang and Wang families? If this is not explained clearly, wouldn’t the emperor think he was instructing him behind his back?

As soon as the man finished speaking, Zhang Shuo immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I think that the weapons carried by the two guards of Zhang and Wang families were to protect technology and did not want others to steal them. If you want to say that there are any bad things in the two families of Zhang and Wang families, it is just that there are too many things that should be made, and you should do them bit by bit, and you cannot do many at the same time. But I think this also shows Zhang Zhong's ability."

Li Longji's face finally improved a little, nodded, and signaled Zhang to continue talking.

Zhang said he was relieved and then said, "I thought I could send someone to Zhang and Wang's family to check to see if they had any good skills recently. As for Zhang Zhong, he took officials from Luoyang to Baoxin County, I felt that love was a good deal. In Baoxin County, there was a model of Jingji. Many officials were not very clear about the matter in Jingji.

What's more, there are models from other places in the future. Instead of letting officials not understand, it is better to go over and learn so that the officials can better understand the affairs of my Tang Dynasty. If anyone says he understands Gyeonggi Province, the emperor might as well take a look."

Zhang said that he didn't care whether he was against other people who impeached Zhang Zhong. He only knew that if he didn't protect Zhang Zhong this time, he would be the first person to be unlucky.

As soon as he said that, the people who impeached Zhang Zhong just now did not speak out and became silent one by one. They were really afraid that the emperor would ask them about Gyeonggi Province, such as asking about the grain output of a certain county, and asking about the taxes paid in a certain state this year.

They did not remember so clearly. What they feared most was that the emperor asked them what the buildings in various places looked like and what kind of fish and shrimps were in the river. Although many things sounded unreasonable, as long as the emperor knew and they didn't know, it would be not simple.

Seeing that the people who had just clamored to stop talking to Zhang Zhong, Li Longji, who was clamoring for a moment, stopped talking, but did not intend to let them go immediately, he pondered for a moment and said:

"Inquiry, you must check. Not only the officials in Luoyang, but also the officials in the capital. According to salary, which one's goods and money are incorrect, you will definitely be severely punished at that time, especially those who use luxury goods, and see which one has expensive sofas and which one has beautiful fish tanks and fish.

If Zhang Zhong has something to do in his family, he will be fined three years of salary and sent him to a remote place. If other officials have something to do, the same is true."

The meaning of Li Longji's words is very clear. Anyone who takes things from Zhang and Wang family must be careful. As long as I find out, I will not ask who gave it to you, but only ask if this thing can be afforded.

I will clean up all of you, see if you are afraid of not having three years of salary or Zhang Zhong, whether you are worried about going to remote places or Zhang Zhong.

It’s not a big deal about Li Longji. The things he usually uses are given to him by Zhang and Wang. Something is that Zhang and Wang’s family pays for them. The money from Zhang and Wang’s family says it belongs to them, which gives him the feeling that it is his own. After all, Zhang and Wang’s family don’t spend too much money on their daily lives.

It’s just used frequently. I have never heard of people in their family going out to the trash and spending a lot of money. What’s even more admirable is that there are very few leftovers in their family and they don’t set up a large table of good things, so they throw them away if they don’t eat them.

But when it comes to disasters every year, he does not hesitate at all. He directly sends it in the name of the court. The other money is used for research, such as the medical school, which is a place to eat money.

Who doesn’t know how Zhang and Wang’s family made money? How did they spend it? If you deal with his family, the economy of Gyeonggi Province would have to drop by 50%, which is not considered his family’s revenge.

Gao Lishi didn't say anything beside him, but he was happy and looked at the people who impeached Zhang Zhong one by one, remembering everyone, so that he could write to Xiaobao and not give things to this part of the people in the future.

He understood what Li Longji meant, that is, you have gained the benefits of the Zhang family and were not clean. You clearly knew what the money of the Zhang and Wang families were used for, but you still insisted on using this matter as an example. I was just a day when I was in the sky, and you didn’t impeach it?

This is called revenge, and we should clean up all the things together. Let’s see who will live a good life in the end?

Thinking of this, Gao Lishi couldn't control himself from laughing again. No matter where he was sent to, the Zhang and Wang families were still so powerful. Even if they got the poorest place, they had a way to build the place. Lingnan is an example, let's see how you live?

It was not just Gao Lishi who had this idea. Zhang Jiuling also thought of this, so he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter is feasible. If any officials found out are inappropriate, it is better to send them to the dangerous land of Lingnan with Zhang Zhong. Luzhou can skip it, and there are other places in Lingnan."

The strong words were so powerful that they immediately scared the officials who impeached Zhang Zhong just now. Even if they were not impeached, they thought it was in their hearts that there was only one Zhang Zhong in the Tang Dynasty, and he could live a comfortable life when he was sent to Lingnan. Who else has the ability?

The court suddenly became quiet, and everyone stopped talking, just waiting for Li Longji to make the final decision.

Li Longji looked at Zhang Jiuling with satisfaction. This proposal was really great. Lingnan, how many people can take the initiative to ask for it like Zhang Zhong?

When the decision was made, the officials who impeached Zhang Zhong just now changed their words, and the words made people blush. All the bad things of the Zhang and Wang families just now became advantages as soon as they were said.

Those who said that Zhang Zhong had an affair with businessmen changed their words and said that Zhang Zhong might have helped merchants make money and prosper the local economy. Now they all know this theory and have learned a lot of vocabulary.

The people who said Zhang Zhong brought people to Baoxin County said that it was probably because Zhang Zhong wanted to let the officials of Dongdu know more about Gyeonggi Province. He said that Zhang Zhong had many soldiers and good weapons in his family, and he also had his own words. He said that Zhang Wang and his two families had many officials, some were leading troops to fight, so he found more guards to practice formations, not for his own use. As for weapons, of course, they were to test new equipment and took a lot of dangers.

Li Longji wanted to rush down and strangle them to death. Listening to the people below, they found new excuses to excuse the Zhang and Wang families. Li Longji whispered to Gao Lishi: "Today I am really moved. The Zhang and Wang families did have done a lot of business in private, but the money they earned was also there. They would take it out as long as the court needs it, and never hesitate.

These more than a dozen officials, who had no money at home, were trying hard to make money. They really thought I didn't know. When they had nothing to do, they went to the restaurant to treat each other. Zhang and Wang's family always acted with the court and the people, and no one in the place said they were bad.

What about an official? I don’t know what he thinks all day long. Sometimes I think about what loyalty is, what treason is, what treason is, what is evil, what do you think."

Gao Lishi rarely heard the emperor speak like this when he was in the court. It seemed that he was really angry. It should be because the person who impeached Zhang Zhong only did not stop the emperor from going to heaven that day, so he exuded all his anger on Zhang Zhong. After thinking about it, he also replied in a low voice: "The benefits of war and swords are the way of economy, use them are the way of evil, and the way of power is the same."

Li Longji nodded and listened to the people below who continued to change their words there, and said boredly: "I will discuss this matter again. Let's talk about the bridge repair first. It is inconvenient to travel between the Yellow River. How should I repair it?"

"I think that this matter should be asked by Zhang Zhong. He has successfully built a bridge in Shuzhou." The person who had just said that Zhang Zhong was not capable of doing so stood up and said at this time.
