Hard to be a good wife

Chapter 219 The Monument of Merit

Tang Yue was still a little worried that Zhang Chun would cause trouble in the past, but he didn't expect that two days later, the Marquis of Liyang would send him back in person, politely, with a satisfied smile on his face.

Tang Yue knew that things had progressed, and looked at Boss Zhang who was being carried back and asked in surprise, "What's wrong with him? Was he beaten up?" Those two eyes were almost like panda eyes.

Liyanghou glanced at Zhang Chun distressedly, and the love in his eyes made Tang Yue cold. His father must have taken a fancy to Zhang Chun and wanted to have more sons, right?Or did he discover that this kid was his illegitimate child?

"I'm exhausted. I haven't stopped for two days. Except for Chu Gong, I have been looking at the account books. I fell asleep when I handed over the results to my father." , he would have thought that the young master had passed out.

Tang Yue arranged for someone to carry Zhang Chun back, and told the kitchen to prepare food and hot water, and they would serve him as soon as he woke up.

Marquis Liyang watched him give orders in an orderly manner, taking all aspects into consideration, as if he was a qualified hostess.

He sighed inwardly, the five-year period has come, but Tang Yue and the crown prince obviously haven't reached the end of their fate, it seems that his son is really going to come back.

"Father, did you find out what's the problem?" Tang Yue brought Liyanghou back to reality when he was distracted.

A smile appeared on Liyang Hou's face, "It's just beginning to appear, and I have to go back to find evidence for my father... How is your food collection going?"

"Don't worry, it's enough. There are still many people who want to send food. I'm going to register it in a book and announce it to the world. If I can get the king's consent, I can also set up a monument of merit and engrave everyone's names on it. This way Come on, more people will be willing to donate food.”

The Marquis of Liyang stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction. His son not only has excellent medical skills, but also behaves well in the world. Being able to raise so much food in just two days shows that his appeal among nobles and wealthy businessmen is not weak.

Although those people would also look at His Highness the Crown Prince's face, they should still be persuaded by Tang Yue.

Tang Yue has cured a lot of patients in recent years, including nobles, commoners and slaves. Most of these people have a heart of gratitude. In addition, he is usually modest and kind, and has a high prestige among the common people. Too much.

On the second day, the king of the Southern Jin Dynasty learned about the omissions in the management of the granary over the years. Every year, nearly [-] shi of grain disappeared, and nearly [-]% of the new grain was replaced with old grain. The grain at the bottom of the granary was even moldy. Spoiled and inedible at all.

The King of Southern Jin was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the case. Xue Tingwei took the order and at the same time secretly glanced at Liyanghou. He didn't expect this warrior to be so careful.

This time, I don't know how many unlucky people will suffer.

Remember to eat but not fight, the imperial court will never lack courageous officials.

There is another thing, Heng Guogong proposed in the hall to build a merit monument for people from all walks of life who donated money and food, firstly to set an example for the world, and secondly to reward those who have contributed to the country.

Most of the officials of the imperial court have paid out food this time, some more and some less, as soon as they heard that they could make their names announced to the public and become famous, naturally they all agreed.

To set an example, Tang Yue suggested that there should be more than one stele of such meritorious deeds, and one could be erected in every main city. In the future, the donation of money and food would not only need to be limited to Yecheng, but could also be done in other places.

However, Tang Yue didn't intend to make it too big, and he didn't take charity as a cause at present, just to understand the urgent need.

After being educated in the 21st century, he knows that such charities are the most likely to breed corruption and corruption. When there is no absolutely perfect system, he does not advocate too much charity.

Duke Heng presented the list of food donations. The King of Nanjin looked at it carefully, nodded from time to time, and asked one of the officials with a smile, "Didn't you say that Ma Aiqing is the most frugal, a penny-pinching rooster? Why is this so?" Donated a thousand catties of grain for the first time?"

The official surnamed Ma hurriedly stood up, "Your Majesty, the Crown Princess is right. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Only when the Southern Jin Dynasty wins as soon as possible, can we officials enjoy happiness as soon as possible. How can we be successful if we don't have skin?"

"Oh? It was the concubine who moved you. It's really not easy." The King of Nanjin chewed on the sentence just now in his heart, and nodded secretly in his heart. Apart from his gender, Tang Yue is not enough to carry on the royal family. What a wonderful daughter-in-law.

If he can enter the court as an official, instead of being limited to his status and unable to stand in the court, he must have made a greater contribution.

The King of Southern Jin glanced at the calm prince, and his heart was up again. In the past few years, he had asked him to accept the concubine no less than five times, but he pushed him away every time, and the reasons were different each time. I don't know how the prince did it, whether it was a coincidence or his design.

If it's the latter, isn't he playing with him in the applause?

The King of Southern Jin put aside this idea, looked at him with contempt, and said in a deep voice: "This stele of merit must be erected, not only must it be erected, but also a high prison must be erected, so that the whole country can see it. Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. Words should be passed on.”

Tang Yue absolutely didn't know, because a thought of his own led to the construction of a monument of merit and virtue that will be passed down for generations, and it is also the largest and highest monument of merit and virtue in history.

It is said that each generation of emperors raised these monuments of merit and virtue one by one, and engraved the names of people who have made great merit. Thousands of years later, many of these monuments of merit and virtue have collapsed or been damaged, but they are still the favorite of archaeologists. one of the ancient cultures.

However, many of the names on the stele of merit and virtue have been blurred. Someone identified a person named "Tang Yue" among them. After he appeared, technology seemed to have taken a stimulant, and the speed of development was like flying a plane, rising in a straight line. After his deadline, it returned to a relatively stable level.

Therefore, historians have made various speculations and verifications about this character, and the answers they got did not match the facts. No one could have imagined that this character traveled through more than 1000 years, brought technology more than 1000 years later to ancient times, and He used his life's power to change that era and made extraordinary achievements.

Tang Yue didn't know that the old habits would last forever. After he heard that the King of Southern Jin agreed to build a merit monument, he temporarily stopped accepting food donations. Hearing the news, people who came to donate food formed a long queue outside the prince's mansion. .

"Your Majesty has something to say, let all the adults take the food back. The food raised this time is enough, but don't be discouraged, the adults. The war will not end in a day or two. When the need arises in the future, I hope all the adults can Be as brave as you are today.”

Tang Yue doesn't care whether these people donate food for fame or sincerity, as long as they are willing to pay, it is natural for them to get the reputation they deserve.

In modern times, many people will criticize those celebrities or rich people who donate money to earn fame. Tang Yue thinks it is unnecessary. At least they have really donated so much money, so what's the point of letting them earn some fame? What about the relationship?

"After all the things have been delivered, there is no reason to pull them back. This steward, why don't you ask Mr. Lang to accept the things first. As for when you want to use them in the future, just let him use them." A nobleman protested loudly .

Many people echoed, "Yes, yes, we pulled the grain here with great fanfare, and then pulled it back, what will others think? Where should we put our face?"

The steward smiled helplessly, this world has only heard of people asking people for things by force, but never heard of people giving things by force, not to mention that even if they accept the food, it is not the private property of the Prince's Mansion.

The Crown Princess had sternly warned that no one should touch that batch of food, and that every entry and exit must be clearly remembered, and it must be announced to facilitate the supervision of the world.

Many people think that doing so is superfluous, the world will belong to His Royal Highness in the future, and all the things in the Southern Jin Dynasty will belong to His Royal Highness, so what to use and how to use it is not a matter of His Highness's words?Why make it so complicated?

However, in view of Tang Yue's usual prestige, no one dared to obey.

"Is this so-called monitoring platform useful?" When Prince Zhao asked Tang Yue this sentence, Tang Yue took the opportunity to tell him about the modern social monitoring system.

"Corrupt officials are indispensable in every dynasty and generation, especially when the emperor is not virtuous or benevolent. Corruption is the most likely to breed. There are only so many people in Yushitai. Even if a person has ten pairs of eyes, he can't take care of them. Therefore, using common people It is most appropriate to monitor the words and deeds of officials.”

"It's not easy to be an official in the public newspaper. Few people can survive just fifty boards." The prince wanted to remind Tang Yue that the status of officials and civilians in this era is not equal. The gap between them is not just a gap?

Tang Yue also thought about this practical problem, but he thought that even if a perfect social supervision system could not be achieved, it could at least play a certain role.

The greater the power of an official, the more supervision is needed.

"It's not for the people to report to the officials. Every city can set up an anonymous post box, which allows the people to report the daily violations of the officials' discipline. Naturally, the imperial court needs an independent department to collect this information and dare to report it. Dare to disclose, if it is just a formality, it is meaningless."

Prince Zhao did not accept this opinion at this time. Although he knew that this was a good way to supervise officials, it was more difficult to implement than to promote education for all.

But a few years later, when he sat on the throne, he remembered what Tang Yue had said, and, bit by bit, he overcame all opinions and established the first Metropolitan Procuratorate in history. During his tenure, the number of officials who died at the hands of the Metropolitan Procuratorate made this department regarded as a thorn in the eyes of officials for a long time afterwards.
