Chapter 64 Visit
After the ceremony, Zhao Shouzheng respectfully invited Haizhongcheng, Wu Zhan and Cai Prefecture, and all the lords climbed the pleasure boat and went to Chenghu for lunch.
Naturally, Hai Rui would not participate, and others would like to wish him not to participate, otherwise he would be able to stay at the King of Hell, and no matter how good the dishes were, they would taste like wax.
Zhao Hao then set up a banquet to entertain Hai Rui on a white-sailed boat. Only Secretary Ma served him from the side, and even Jin Xuezeng drove him to the pleasure boat.
According to the "Governor's Treaty", there are only two meats, two vegetables and one soup on the table, and one person and one bowl of braised duck noodles with white sauce.
Hai Rui was indeed very happy to eat. After eating a bowl of noodles, he asked Ma Xianglan to add another bowl.
Due to the early motion sickness, Zhao Hao lacked appetite and didn't even finish half a bowl.
"Don't waste it." Seeing that he was about to put chopsticks, Hai Rui glared and said, "A porridge and meal should be thought to be hard to come by."
"Ha..." Zhao Hao had no choice but to lower his head and ate, thinking that he would not think about coming to me to improve his life next time.
Hai Rui took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and suddenly asked, "You said just now, Lin Zhongcheng is awake?"
"Yes." Zhao Hao responded vaguely and lowered his head to eat noodles.
"Have you reported to the court?" Hai Rui asked again.
"Yeah~~" Zhao Hao shook his head and continued to eat noodles.
"Why don't you report?" Hai Rui said with a guilty look on his face: "Is it because of my words?"
"Lin Zhongcheng is still in the recovery period, so it's not good to meet people at this time." Zhao Hao barely finished the noodles, took the handkerchief handed by Ma Xianglan to wipe the corner of his mouth, took another sip of tea and said:
"Hai Gong doesn't have to visit him, this is what Lin Zhongcheng means."
"Oh, I feel ashamed of Ruoyu." Hai Rui said in a very rare situation. His new policy on Yingtian had just been announced and was about to be implemented by the government and the government. At this time, seeing Lin Run would make things complicated.
Once things in the Ming Dynasty become complicated, they will be delayed and then end in vain...
"Lin Zhongcheng also asked me to bring a word to Hai Gong," Zhao Hao smiled faintly, "I bowed to the kindness of the country's scholars, and I am determined to express my confidant."
"I am proud to express my confidant..." Hai Rui's eyes turned red and he felt ashamed: "I underestimated Lin Zhongcheng. He is an unparalleled national sage, so he will always put the overall situation first."
"Yes." Zhao Hao nodded and said with a teasing smile: "I brought the words to you. Mr. Hai can go to Songjiang with confidence now, right?"
"Haha, you boy, dare to make fun of me." Hai Rui pointed at him and nodded, "Let's go now."
"Then I wish Zhongcheng a victory in the flag!"
"No problem."
~~
The governor's boat went downstream and arrived at the Guan Wharf in Songjiang Prefecture City early the next morning.
Zhong Zhenji, Zheng Yue and other officials had been waiting at the dock for a long time, and welcomed Zhongcheng and his party to the governor's headquarters.
In the signing room where Lin Zhongcheng had fought, the prefect Zhong reported to Hai Rui about the situation of Tui Siyuan being surrounded.
"Since the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Tuisi Garden has been surrounded for four days." Zhong Zhenji secretly looked at Hai Rui's expression, but unfortunately he couldn't see any expression. He had to try his best to report without emotion:
"The day before yesterday, Xiaguan went to mediation with Zheng County Magistrate, but Xu Ge Lao did not let go, and it would be of no effect."
Hai Rui thought for a moment and said in a deep voice: "After all, Mr. Xu is the Yuanfu of the two dynasties. Even if there is any injustice in the people, they cannot surround and make trouble all day long. What kind of morality is it?"
After a pause, he ordered Niu Qianshi: "You will post a notice, which means that the surrender will begin to begin. If the people have any grievances, they can come to me to complain, but they are not allowed to surround the house."
"Yes, the official will do it now." Niu Mowang was about to retreat.
"Sir Niu, wait." Zhong Zhenji called Niu and whispered to Hai Rui:
"Zhongcheng, please be cautious when you make a lawsuit in Songjiang City."
"Do you want to teach me how to do things?" Hai Rui glanced at him.
"I dare not. The subordinate officials just reminded the Chief Secretary to beware of the troublemakers!" Zhong Zhenji was frightened and quickly explained: "Those who surrounded Tuisi Garden were either the small landlords who had previously offered to the Xu family; or sold the land to the wealthy family of the Xu family; or the servants of the Xu family; or the relatives of the Xu family. In short, they were all traitors who were entrusted to the name of Xu Ge Lao to escape taxes and labor, and were not poor people, and there were not many injustices."
"Magistrate Zhong knows it very well." Hai Rui looked at him with a smile and said, "Why have you been reluctant to investigate? Do you know that it is illegal to commit? "
"Why should the Chief Secretary ask questions clearly? First, they have made solid contracts and if they are willing, they can't see any problems from the documents. Second, when Mr. Xu was still in power in the past..." Zhong Zhenji was almost crying after being criticized.
"Haha, the prefect Zhong has pushed it cleanly." Hai Rui said sarcastically: "But we will discuss your matters later, and we will finish the main business first."
As he said that, he glanced at Niu Qianshi and said, "Why are you standing there? Let me sue you."
"Yes, Zhongcheng." Niu Qianshi hurried out quickly.
The corner of the master's mouth twitched, and he said his feelings in vain.
"Okay, this court has received your kindness." Hai Rui then calmed down a little and said, "Thank you for your reminder."
"The officials are also worried that too many unruly people complaining will damage the voice of the Central Chief and give them a solid reputation." Zhong Zhenji reminded him in a vague way. He still wanted to persuade Hai Rui to draw a clear line with those unruly people.
Hai Rui knew that he was referring to the person who Tui Siyuan. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Yes, our hospital does not sympathize with those unruly people who take the initiative to contribute, find that the tax reform is not cost-effective, and want to go back on their word."
As he spoke, he changed his mind and said: "But I still want the Xu family to withdraw from the land!"
"Why is Zhongcheng?" Zhong Zhenji asked in confusion.
"Because whether it is a gift, a trick, a sprinkle or a flower, the interests are damaged in the end, and the court." Hai Rui said lightly: "So you must let the land be the master so that the tax can be paid reasonably and not harm the people. Whether it is a whip method or a government official or a government official, it will not become a bad law."
"But this happens, the Chief of the Central Committee is afraid that he will give the population a solid amount." While admiring, Zhong Zhenji felt that Hai Gong was a little reckless to avoid being reckless.
"Maybe." Hai Rui smiled unanimously. Everyone was not familiar with each other and could get to the point of being able to get to their hearts.
~~
As the saying goes, "the shadow of the tree of a man's name" was released, the guys surrounding the Tui Si Garden dispersed in groups and hurried home to write a complaint to prepare for the complaint.
In the afternoon of the same day, Hai Rui summoned a group of officials and was about to arrange specific arrangements for tomorrow's announcement, but Hai'an walked in and put it in his ear and whispered a few words.
Hai Rui nodded slightly and said to all the officials: "Let's get here first."
"Greatly send me off to the Chief Executive." Niu Qianshi and others hurriedly got up and gave me a look.
Hai Rui left the signing room and quickly walked to the back door of the yard. He saw an inconspicuous sedan that had already landed in the yard.
He quickly stepped forward, raised the curtains in person, and bowed to the end and said, "I would like to welcome Mr. Cunzhai."
