When the British Duke Zhang Shize learned that he was going to be the censor of the right capital, he thought that the military commander of the Generalissimo's Palace of Fujun who came to convey the order was joking with him.

How could he be the censor of the right capital if he was a noble man and a military officer? Shouldn't the censor be a civil servant who came from the imperial examination?

"In England, in the past, censors had to deal with many things. They had to speak out about political gains and losses, as well as the benefits and disadvantages of the military and civilians, so it was appropriate to be a Jinshi. Nowadays, censors are only responsible for catching corrupt officials. It is better to use Jinshi as censor.

Overkill."

In the Pingshan Hall of Daming Temple, Zhu Cixiang was smiling and explaining the latest function of the censor to Zhang Shize, who had come to resign.

"No Jinshi?" Zhang Shize frowned and spread his hands, "But you can't let me be the censor. I don't know how to catch corrupt officials."

"Why not?" Zhu Cixiang smiled, "If you don't catch corrupt officials, you will always become a corrupt official, right? You have been an official in Beijing for so many years, haven't you ever been corrupt? Those old Xi Salt General Managers, Shiba Zhi and Wu Xiang

Have they never given money to your family? They must have, right? You have experience as a corrupt official, so you must be very good at catching corrupt officials!"

"My lord, my lord, my lord." Upon hearing this, Zhang Shize's dark face turned pale with fright, and he was speechless. He even stood up from the chair and was about to kneel down.

"Don't kneel, don't kneel, Mr. British, don't be afraid." Zhu Cixiang smiled and waved his hand, "Although I know that you have been greedy a lot, you are the hero of overcoming difficulties! You have made great contributions, which are enough to compensate for the sins of the past.

Therefore, not only will I not hold you accountable, but I will also grant you land and a house after you arrive in Nanjing!"

The British prince Zhang Shize was a man of integrity. Zhu Cixi said so and felt that he had done a great job. He helped the prince to block the city gate and donated military salary to the prince. He fought against the bandits in Tianjin and defended the entrance of Dagu.

Guo Huangye. Among the dignitaries who fled south, except Zhu Chunchen, he had the greatest credit.

"That's what Mr. Qiantose said," he chuckled, and sat down again. "I do have some small skills, but I don't know how many houses I can get."

He was a distinguished nobleman from Beijing. His land and residence were all around Beijing, but he had no property in Nanjing. He was a refugee, and he didn't have much money with him. He had a large family, so he was a bit left out.

Listening to his question, Zhu Cixiang sighed bitterly: "Mr. British, do you know that I am in debt now?"

"Debt? When did His Highness get into debt?" Zhang Shize was stunned when he heard this. You are so rich, how could you be in debt? Before the millions earned in Beijing were spent, Yangzhou arrested him again.

The four salt bosses are waiting for their houses to be confiscated! The other four salt bosses are also so scared that they are bleeding profusely. The salt tax is 6 million taels a year!

When you usurp the throne, you will definitely be the richest prince in the history of Ming Dynasty!

"A new army of more than 60,000 people to overcome difficulties!" Zhu Cixi shook his head and said, "You should know this, right? Starting from the Marshal's Mansion, everyone can divide their fields! The minimum is 50 acres of paddy fields, and there are more for each level upwards.

Plus! With more than 60,000 people, ten million acres is simply not enough! The nobles and officials who followed us also get points! Even millions of acres are not enough!

Lord British, you have to help me find more than 10,000,000 acres of land in the southeast. Only after we find it, the soldiers of the new army will continue to defend the imperial court, and your family's land and house will be settled."

"Does this thousand-year-old master want to influence the nobles in the capital and the Southeast Guard?" British Duke Zhang Shize was just sincere, not a fool. Of course he understood what Zhu Cixiang wanted to do.

Zhu Cixi waved his hand and said with a smile: "What's so immovable? I am the most lenient. Don't you, the British father-in-law, know that?"

Really? Are you still lenient? The British man looked unbelieving.

Zhu Cixi also frowned a little, why is this prince so honest? But it doesn't matter, he is also an honest person and never tells lies.

"Young Lord," Zhu Cixiang said in a calm tone, "the assignment I am giving you now is to command the Eighth Guards and Thirty-fourth Regiment on the territory of the Huaiyang Second Prefecture.

This time Zhijia was not as polite as when he was in Denglai Second Mansion! How much land Bawei 24th owned was clearly stated in the fish scale atlas. Not even an acre could be lost, and all of it had to be handed over!

Those commanders, colleagues, officials, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and those military officials, if they are willing to cooperate well, hand over the land, and then move their families to Huai'an and Yangzhou. I will not

They were asked how much they had embezzled in the past, and they were allowed to keep their free money and take the official examination.

If you don’t want to cooperate, then don’t be polite. What to do if you invade and occupy a military camp? It’s clearly written in the Ming Dynasty Laws!”

He looked at the British Duke Zhang Shize and said, "British Duke, would you like to take a team of Right Supervisory Censors and Imperial Supervisory Academy Lieutenants on this mission?"

"Master Chitose, what are the Right Prosecutor's Censor and Ducha Yushiwei?" Zhang Shize didn't quite understand.

Zhu Cixiang said: "The decree on the reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be issued soon. At that time, the censors will be divided into two groups: the left class will investigate the corruption of civil servants, and the right class will investigate the corruption of military attachés. Among them, the left class censors will be investigated for corruption, and the left censorship will be investigated for corruption.

In addition, they are all appointed by juren and scholars, not Jinshi, and they are not allowed to be transferred to other positions. Once you enter the Procuratorate, you will be the censor until you become an official. However, the salary will be preferential, and those who have meritorious service in handling cases can also share in the recovered dirty silver!

On the other hand, the right-ban censors are made up of the children of Xunwei. Below the right-du censors, once they enter the procuratorate, they will be censors until they become official. In the same way, the salary is favorable, and there is also a share to be obtained!

As for the captains of the Imperial Academy, they are drawn from the army and are responsible for arrests, searches, custody and other matters. They serve for no more than two years, during which they can receive double pay, and will be transferred back to the army at the end of the term."

After Zhang Shize listened to Zhu Cixiang's introduction, cold sweat broke out on his forehead! Prince Zhu wanted to use cruelty to rectify the administration!

He will definitely get a group of Northern Juren, scholars and honorable men who have lost their property and gone crazy, and have them investigate the corrupt officials and honorable men in the South. If they find out the stolen money, they can still share it, and they will not be allowed to hold any other official positions.

Zhu Cixiang smiled: "My Lord, there is nothing I can do. If I don't check, what will I give to the new army soldiers? What will I give to the nobles and officials like you who are loyal and loyal? You go and talk to those people first.

Let's talk about it carefully. As long as they are willing to spit out the military camps and houses they swallowed, and then come to Yangzhou to plead guilty, I won't ask about anything else!

As for Mr. Yingying, don’t be afraid. You are a loyal minister of this palace. I will not allow you to be investigated. No matter how fierce the right-level censor is, he can’t hurt you! Mr. Yingying, are you loyal or not?”

It turns out that Zhu Cixi was not a good prince who could not rub his eyes out of his eyes. He did not tolerate corruption and bribery, but he did not tolerate officials who were upright after making money.

If you want to make money, you have to be a dog! Be obedient, do things well, and don't be too greedy. I just pretend that I can't see who made this a feudal society. It is normal for corrupt officials to exist in feudal society. I want everyone to follow Hai Rui

Like Bao Qingtian, what kind of democratic revolution is there?

"Loyal! I am the most loyal, and I am loyal to His Highness the Crown Prince!" How dare Zhang Shize say that he is disloyal? If he says that he is disloyal, his wealth and life will be lost!

"Just be loyal. Go back and make preparations. Once I have found a helper for you, go and investigate corrupt officials."

Zhang Shize thought of something at this time, and frowned slightly: "Master Qiansui, as far as I know, there are many commanders in the Huai and Yang guards, and there are people who are Tongzhi and Qianshi. If I check too

You are so cruel, I am afraid that someone from Liudu will jump in to protect you."

Now there are two power centers in the southeast, Yangzhou and Nanjing!

Although the two sides have not yet broken up, it is obvious that the nobles and officials in Nanjing are disobeying Yangzhou.

So far, none of the Nandu bigwigs such as Zhao Zhilong, Han Zanzhou, and Xu Hongji have come to Yangzhou to see them!

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Then we need to investigate even more! After investigating Huaiyang, we will go to Liudu! There will be many corrupt officials lining up for you to investigate, so you have to hurry up.

By the way, I have found a helper for you. His name is Ji Kun. He is a member of the Yangzhou Guards. He has the title of Juren. For the time being, he will be given the title of Zuoban Supervisory Censor. There are also many military and civilian officials among the Huaiyang Guards.
