In Jingzhou City, the core is naturally the Xinggong Tower, which surrounds the Xinggong Tower Group, including the Fengshan Tower Group, the Huangshan Tower Group, and the Qingshan Tower Group, which are occupied by the Secretary of the Central Committee, the Governor's Office and the Supervision Office.

Among them, the Fengshan Building Group is the largest and the widest area.

On weekdays, Fengshan Buildings have the most people coming and going, and the noisiest. The noise includes quarrels.

The people of Jingzhou talked about this: it is difficult to see figures on Xinggong Tower, and it is the quietest; the Governor's Office is the strictest, so it can be viewed from a distance and cannot be approached; the Supervisory Office is the most gloomy, and often hears the terrifying cry of torture prisoners; and the Central Secretariat is like a vegetable market, with constant quarrels.

No wonder, the Zhongshu Mansion is the most complicated place to entangle interests. As Jingzhou's status in the Ming Dynasty gradually increased, disputes in various parts of the Ming Dynasty gradually became entangled in the Fengshan Tower.

The focus of interest disputes is naturally the lawsuit under Zhu Zhiyu. No wonder the Han people have thousands of years of official culture, and whether they are gentry or ordinary people, they are proud to have obtained one or half of their positions.

Zhu Zhiyu, who is in the center of the vortex, is so busy that he is exhausted every day.

In March, Zhu Zhiyu takes the turn.

"Reported to Zhu Mu Envoy, Deputy Order of the Supervision Office Peng Xinxingwen, to the lawsuit, requesting that the performance appraisal department be cancelled, and the Supervision Office be responsible for the performance appraisal of officials!"

When he heard about Peng Xin, Zhu Zhiyu couldn't help but have a headache. Peng Xin was a troublesome master when he was in Kuizhou. Later, he was transferred to the Law Department of the Supervision Office, and he kept causing trouble. What the Secretary of the Central Committee could not tolerate was that Peng Xin actually grabbed the review power of gold bills and bills under Lin Chunhong's acquiescence. The power of the Supervision Office was great, resulting in a huge loss of face among Zhang Daohan, Zhu Zhiyu and other groups.

Zhu Zhiyu stood up irritably and walked around. Whether the Performance Examination Office belongs to the Supervision Office is all within Lin Chunhong's thoughts. Peng Xin did not report to Lin Chunhong, so why did he write directly to the Central Secretariat Office?

What is Peng Xin’s intention?

Zhu Zhiyu couldn't figure it out thoroughly, so he had to sign a handling opinion: submit it to the cabinet for discussion.

...

"I reported to the envoy Zhu Mu, and the Governor's Office wrote to the Finance Department, saying that the archers had not paid monthly money for two months, and asked when the funds would be allocated to the Governor's Office!"

This made Zhu Zhiyu even more anxious. Naturally, he did not dare to owe a half of the monthly money of the frontline combat soldiers. However, due to financial tensions, the monthly money of the archers and more than 100,000 public officials had been owed for two months, and the total amount reached 1.6 million yuan!

This is just salary expenses. When budgeting at the beginning of the year, the funds expected to be allocated to all counties and prefectures were basically not settled, with a gap of more than 8 million yuan!

And this is when the five million yuan bonds were issued just now.

At the beginning, in order to support the battlefield in Shandong, a total of 21 million bonds were issued. In addition to the three million that had been returned, there were also 19 million foreign debts, and the interest that needed to be paid every month was a heavy burden.

The Zhongshu Mansion has thought of ways, such as: allowing wealthy merchants to open money shops in Jiangnan and pay huge deposits to alleviate financial tensions. However, Lin Chunhong was not sure what he had made for his consideration and delayed approval. The money became a flower in the mirror and the moon in the water.

The Zhongshu Mansion was also thinking about issuing additional gold notes, notes, and bonds, but was rejected by the Supervision Administration, saying that the issuance of notes and gold notes could not be greater, otherwise Jingzhou would be in danger of collapse. He also said that Jingzhou's debt level was already high enough and that if it continued to borrow money, the finances would be overwhelmed.

Lin Chunhong agreed with the veto of the Supervision Office with a big stroke and happily agreed. However, Jingzhou's finances were almost unsustainable.

"Where has the governor been?"

Zhu Zhiyu was looking forward to Lin Chunhong's return more than ever, and was looking forward to Lin Chunhong coming up with an emergency solution. He couldn't help asking. After asking, he immediately shook his head. After all, unless he took the initiative to inform Lin Chunhong of his whereabouts, no one deliberately asked, and no one deliberately reported them.

Unexpectedly, my subordinate replied in an uncertain tone: "There are so many rumors that the governor has arrived at the Engineering Academy!"

Zhu Zhiyu was shocked and stood up suddenly, questioning: "How is this possible? From Yangzhou to Bailizhou, no matter whether it is water or land, you must pass Jingzhou! The governor will pass through Jingzhou but not enter?"

"I don't know..."

Zhu Zhiyu waved his hand, said "Get out", and drove the staff out of the ear room.

Although no one deliberately asked about Lin Chunhong's whereabouts, his whereabouts could still be seen through Lin Chunhong's approval documents. Zhu Zhiyu made people think that Lin Chunhong's hand-written comments a few days ago, only two were in Anqing and the other were in Wuchang. By time, even if Lin Chunhong did not go to Bailizhou, he was not far from Jingzhou!

It seems that the rumors are true.

Zhu Zhiyu was thinking secretly, when suddenly Zheng Tiancheng asked for a meeting outside the door. As soon as he entered the ear room, he shouted: "The Finance Department can't stay there! I didn't let me be quiet for a moment, and there were endless people asking for money outside the door! What is the opinion of the Pavilion Guard? At least I will come up with a charter? If I delay it, the Finance Department will be demolished by them!"

Zhu Zhiyu couldn't help but feel angry. There were a lot of things happening in Jingzhou, but Lin Chunhong passed by Jingzhou and refused to enter. What was going on?

Zhu Zhiyu replied coldly: "Hold on for a long time, and the cabinet meeting will be held in the afternoon to review the proposal to adjust the principal rate to 30%.

Zheng Tiancheng laughed and said, "Is this a good proposal? Isn't the Supervision Office deliberating on the issue of additional gold invoices and bills? Let's not mention the issue of additional issuance and say that the principal rate will be adjusted! I guess Vice President Peng is so angry that he will be so angry that he stares at his eyes, but he has no choice but to blame him for not considering it thoroughly when he drafted the regulations!"

Zhu Zhiyu was obviously not as optimistic as Zheng Tiancheng, so he shook his head and did not speak. He considered that whether this proposal was reviewed by the Supervision Office or not, Lin Chunhong would finally make the decision. Lin Chunhong agreed to the Supervision Office for banning the issuance of invoices and gold notes last time, and his attitude was very clear. This time, the principal rate adjustment is likely to be not good.

Zheng Tiancheng seemed not to notice Zhu Zhiyu's concerns and kept complaining: "The Finance Department has become a vegetable market, and batch after batch come. In addition to asking for money, I can't handle it even if I have three heads and six arms! It's really strange that after the New Year, the people holding the seal of the Supervision Mansion to check the funds of the money house, and the people holding the seal of the Xinggong Tower also need to check the funds of the money house... Are you upset... The Supervision Mansion to investigate the case and the transactions of the money house, which is understandable. What are the people in Xinggong Tower doing when checking the funds of the money house?"

Zhu Zhiyu was surprised and asked, "Do you say someone is holding Xinggonglou seal to check financial transactions?"

Zheng Tiancheng said: "Not! And it's a bunch of delicate women. When did Xinggonglou hire a group of women?"

Zhu Zhiyu's face became very ugly, and he solemnly ordered Zheng Tiancheng: "You copy a copy of the record of inquiry of funds and send it to me, urgently!"

Zheng Tiancheng asked in confusion: "What's the use of this thing?"

Zhu Zhiyu had no intention of solving the problem, so he urged: "Go quickly, hurry up!"

...

After Zhu Zhiyu received the record sent by Zheng Tiancheng, after a brief analysis, Cui Yu'er surfaced. Zhu Zhiyu's heart was as heavy as a heavy stone, and he could hardly breathe.

After calming down for a moment, Zhu Zhiyu immediately took the record and went to visit Zhang Daohan.

As soon as Zhang Daohan saw Zhu Zhiyu, he said without hesitation: "Just going to find Zhu Mu Envoy, but Zhu Mu Envoy came by coincidence, so I won't be able to run away like this old bone."

"Come on, come on, Zhu Mu Envoy, please sit down! The Foreign Resources Department just came forward and said that the court appointed Mr. Shi Zhai as the imperial envoy, went to Jingzhou to announce the imperial edict, and appointed the governor as the Marquis of Jiangling. It has now set off from the capital and is about to arrive in Guangping Prefecture."

The news was obviously beyond Zhu Zhiyu's expectations, and he asked in surprise: "Mr. Shizhai? Huang Daozhou in the Three Hanlins? He is not the acting Secretary of the Zhan Shifu, why did he do the work of the Ministry of Rites?"

Zhang Daohan nodded and smiled bitterly: "Who knows? You don't have to know. I'm worried that Mr. Shizhai's character is famous all over the world, and he will probably have problems if he announces the imperial edict!"

Zhu Zhiyu had something in mind and seemed a little absent-minded: "What problem can happen? The scope of the order was not large, and even if there were any problems, they could deal with it in time."

Seeing that Zhu Zhiyu was not as smart and keen as usual, Zhang Daohan said dissatisfied: "Zhu Mu Envoy, Huang Shizhai was cold and unfair, and he was even more fiercely opposed to the title of governor to be a marquis during the court meeting. This time he came to Jingzhou by an order. I am worried that Yang Sichang was making trouble here."

Zhu Zhiyu said: "Our work is done well and Yang Sichang can enter seamlessly, which is the way to win. A mere Huangshizhai is not worth worrying about."

Zhang Daohan felt that Zhu Zhiyu was different and asked, "Zhu Muzhang, what are you holding in your hand? What's the matter with me?"

Zhu Zhiyu opened the copy and presented it to Zhang Daohan, saying: "For three months, Xinggong Tower has been sealed by the Governor to the Finance Department to check the financial transactions of the money house. This is the details."

Zhang Daohan looked at the manuscript and asked in confusion: "Isn't this normal? Is there anything strange?"

Zhu Zhiyu looked at Zhang Daohan with an incredible look and said, "Zhang Fu Ling, the Jinyiwei, who started to investigate the case and began to monitor all officials. Then, when Chengzu, there was the East Factory and later the West Factory. The Thousand Mile Dike was destroyed in the ant hole. It may take less than ten years for a group of Jinyiwei and the East Factory to appear in Jingzhou!"

Zhang Daohan was shocked and realized the serious consequences of the independent investigation of the case of Xinggong Building, and his face inevitably changed drastically.

Zhu Zhiyu said: "Half of the disasters in the Ming Dynasty lies in the Daxing imperial prison. If the criminal cases are not passed through the three judicial departments, should Jingzhou also follow the old path of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhang Daohan gritted his teeth and said almost word by word: "This wind must be stopped! Only the Security Department and the Supervision Office have the right to file a case for investigation, and the other institutions do not have this right!"

Zhu Zhiyu looked determined and took off his crown and put it in his hand. He said with a sigh: "To encourage him with the government, even if he loses his official position or his life, he will do whatever he wants!"
