"I remember that the map of Mount Fuji should be in the hands of Wu Zhengzhi, a minister of the Jiangnan Lake West Road. Why did it appear in Ye Xiang's study?"

"Returning to the emperor, before Wu Zhengzhi became an official, he taught at Donglin Academy. After he became an official, he visited Ye Xiang in the capital and "borrowed" this painting to Ye Xiang."

borrow?

It is a loan without an agreed return date.

Lectures at Donglin Academy.

Let's make it clear that Wu Zhengzhi is a member of the Donglin Party.

And this painting is equivalent to dedicated to the leader.

Wu Zhengzhi.

Is a willing person.

"A gentleman does not take what others like. Ye Xiang served me for four generations of emperors of the Ming Dynasty. He was dedicated to his duties and conscientious. Let Ye Xiang keep the rare stones of calligraphy and painting in the capital's mansion!"

Zhu Youjian shook his head and said with a dumb smile, "Tell me something practical!"

"Returning to the emperor, Ye Xiang's family is in Fuqing, Fuzhou, a land of one prefecture, with more than 10 mu of fertile land. According to the market price of the land, the total price is not less than one million taels of silver."

Wei Zhong cheered up, and said in a loud voice: "There are more than a hundred houses and shops, large and small, all of which are carved with beams and paintings, and they are all resplendent and magnificent. One piece of silver is priced at ten thousand taels, and the total price is not less than one million taels of silver.

In addition, Ye Xiang's family contracted the Zijin Mountain mine and bought it at the price of copper mines, but found gold in it, and the value increased by more than a hundred times.

After several years of digging, at least 20 taels of gold should be obtained, but the Ye family has not seen it yet.

What's more, the mine itself is a golden chicken that lays eggs.

There was a Jin merchant who was willing to spend 500 million taels of silver to buy this mine, but was still rejected by the Ye family.

In addition, the Ye family in Fuzhou never refuses anyone who comes to gold, silver, jewellery, calligraphy, painting and antiques. They have been buying them for decades, and the old slave wants to come here. The value of a million taels of silver should be a lot more. "

Last year, the country taxed 400 million taels of silver.

After spending a year on officials' salaries, wars and famines, road and bridge construction, etc., occasionally internal funds are needed to pay for them.

As for Ye Xiang's family's private property, it is roughly estimated that it is no less than ten million taels of silver.

Two years, or even three years, the taxation of the country.

The most unacceptable thing is that the origins are legitimate, reasonable and reasonable.

The disaster of the gentry.

Shocking.

"How many children does Ye Xiang have?"

Zhu Youjian exhaled slowly, his heart was extremely heavy, and he said in a concentrated voice.

"Returning to the emperor, Ye Xiang had three sons and six daughters. The eldest son, Ye Chengxue, "entered the Imperial Academy under the shadow of his father", and later served as the Minister of Shangbao, unfortunately died young.

The second son, Ye Chengzhang, was a Jinshi in the 47th year of Wanli. After becoming an official, he showed his outstanding ability. He became the minister of Dali Temple. Later, because of strict law enforcement, he offended Zhu Chuncheng, the Duke of Cheng, and was dismissed from his post and returned to his hometown.

The third son Ye Chengchang, a Jinshi in the first year of Tianqi, has mediocre ability, so until now, he is only the head of the household department.

The six daughters, from the eldest daughter to the fifth daughter, were all married to local people, and none of the five sons-in-law became officials. Only Ye Yanjun, the youngest daughter of the Ye family, was in her boudoir.

She was born in the year when Ye Xiang knew her destiny, and she got a daughter when she was old. Ye Xiang regarded her as the jewel in his palm, and his brothers and sisters loved her very much.

Even though it is already the age of breaking melons, Bingxue is smart, and the matchmaker almost crushes the threshold, but she is still reluctant to leave the court. "

Wei Zhong finished introducing the situation of Ye Xiang's family in one breath.

It has been hostile for a long time.

I'm afraid no one is more familiar with Ye Xiang's family than Wei Zhong.

"For the purpose, I am the first to ascend the Great Treasure, to pray for the country's dynasty, and to revive Ye Chengzhang, and order the Minister of Dali Temple to re-examine the case files of the past ten years, and all unjust, false and wrong cases have the right to be rehabilitated!"

"The decree is that Ye Chengchang is self-denying and dedicated to the public, Fengmao Jimei, and the Minister of the Household Department is in charge of land, taxes, household registration, military supplies, salaries, food and salaries, and financial revenue and expenditure!"

"For the decree, Ye Yanjun, the youngest daughter of the Ye family, who is gentle and virtuous, with both talents and virtues, is allowed to enter the palace, and named the imperial concubine Chunhui!"

Chapter 14 Three Masters in One School, Pie Trap

Three decrees in a row.

The purpose is related to the Ye family.

Minister of Dali Temple.

Minister of the household department.

Two real powers and nine ministers.

It was born so easily.

From now on.

The Ye family has one family and one head to assist two nine ministers.

The glory is unparalleled.

Over the past two hundred years of the country's reign, few families are more prominent than the Ye family.

In the eyes of others.

There is nothing more powerful than the emperor's grace.

However, Wei Zhong was not at all frustrated by the holy family that his old opponent got.

Ye Chengzhang.

He already had the experience of being in charge of the Dali Temple, so he probably wouldn't have any problems when he came back.

But the focus is on reviewing the ten-year injustice case.

As the former director of etiquette and the admiral of the East Factory, as well as the Nine Thousand Years of the Ming Dynasty, Wei Zhong is clear about many things.

First of all, Guochao last year had more than 500 million files of all kinds, large and small.

Fall back next year.

The numbers are pretty much the same.

ten years.

That is more than [-] million case files.

Of course, the re-examination will not put all the files in front of the files of Dali Temple Secretary.

It's really not a serious matter to bother Dali Siqing for trivial matters like losing a chicken and a dog in a farm and fighting with neighbors.

Most of the files that can be retried are criminal misappropriation of other people's wives and daughters, etc. involving human life, injury, property, and ethics.

Such case files must account for a small proportion of the total case files, about [-]% or so.

In other words, Ye Chengzhang has to review about 750 million case files in addition to his usual work.

Although the emperor did not limit the time.

But it can't be dragged on forever.

Wei Zhong estimated.

One or two years, at most three years, will reach the limit of the emperor's patience.

Calculated by thousands of days.

[-] case files need to be reviewed a day.

Dali Temple officials.

There are so many people, counting the concierge, there are less than a hundred people.

75 case files per person per day.

Sounds like very little.

However, for these major and important cases, the case files are all on the scale of "small mountains".

Predictably.

In the next few years, the officials of Dali Temple will have endless bathing time, and even a full sleep is a luxury.

Just be busy.

That is to say, the body is more tired.

You can't be busy.

This involves the second question.

In this vast case file, unjust, false and wrongly decided cases are accurately found.

Cold words.

It is the most difficult to see flaws.

What Dali Siqing has to do is to find out the mistakes, contradictions, and doubts in these "modified" files that are almost perfect and logically self-consistent.

There are no shortcuts to this kind of thing.

Catch it word by word.

This is a test of mental strength.

Physically and mentally exhausted.

These four-character idioms will be the portrayal of the officials of Dali Temple.

Leave it all behind.

Then came the third question.

There are many reasons for wrongful convictions.

Local officials are incompetent, not serious, tortured into tricks, accepted bribes, etc.

But there is a very important reason, power intervention.

No one knows better than Wei Zhong the virtues of relatives of the emperor, senior officials of the state, and people from aristocratic families.

My son made a mistake, and the most common and practical method is to solve the victim and manage the chief officer well.

practical.

Often means risk, and without investigation, besides, these "adults" never thought of hiding.

Once checked up.

As the first step, Dali Temple will definitely be under pressure from all sides.

Really urgent.

These pressures will turn into killing intent.

In summary.

Doing things with all one's heart will be exhausted physically and mentally, and you will be under pressure, and even your life will be in danger.

But what if you don't do your best?

Wei Zhong subconsciously took a peek at the emperor, and the calm Long Yan made him withdraw his gaze instantly.

Not doing our best.

There will be no physical and mental exhaustion, no pressure, and you may even gain the favor and gratitude of the princes and relatives.

There is just one thing that will become the "heart concern" of the emperor.

At that time.

Perhaps a simple beheading would be a kind of happiness.

All the doors were copied and chopped.

will be the home of these people.

This is Ye Chengzhang's crisis.

Ye Chengchang.
