It is beneficial to the country and the people and selfish. Ma Zhong has no reason to refuse such a thing. Of course, it must have to pay a certain price, but Ma Zhong is also mentally prepared. So after he agreed, he also looked at Li Jie and waited for the other party to tell him the specific situation of the matter.

Li Jie smiled slightly, then reached out and took out a document and handed it to Ma Zhong and said, "You can take a look at this first, but I will talk about the ugly words before. After seeing the content on it, it will be impossible for you to quit!"

"Don't worry, the prince consort, since the subordinate has agreed, he will never regret it!" Ma Zhong said with a firm expression. After saying that, he took the document handed over by Li Jie, and then opened it and read it.

However, Ma Zhong had just looked at it and couldn't help but feel shocked. After looking down, his arms couldn't help but tremble, and his face was very complicated. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he saw the contents of the document and was even a little unacceptable.

"Affiliates... The official is transferred to an official. This is just a temporary measure in the past, and it is limited to external officials. How can it be used in the Ming Dynasty?" Ma Zhong asked Li Jie in a trembling voice, his face full of panic.

The document Li Jie gave him contained a detailed plan, that is, the official was transferred to an official. In fact, there was a precedent in this matter. When Zhu Zhen conquered Annan, because there was a shortage of officials, Li Jie proposed that officials be transferred to an official and fill in Annan with these officials being transferred to an official.

At that time, this incident aroused fierce opposition from many officials. After all, this shook the foundation of the imperial examination system. However, Lao Zhu was strong at that time, and the transfer of officials was limited to being sent to Annan and other countries, so the officials finally compromised later.

However, Li Jie now wants to transfer officials to the Ming Dynasty, and it is also an extremely important area such as Nanjing and Jiangnan. If this matter is spread, Li Jie will definitely bear a heavy reputation. All the officials involved in this matter cannot escape the fate of being scolded, so Ma Zhong showed such resistance.

"This Taicang theft case involves hundreds of officials. If we continue to investigate, we will only involve more people. At that time, the entire Jiangnan officialdom may be in danger of collapse. If all these people are arrested and questioned, where will the court find so many officials to take over their positions?" Li Jie stared at Ma Zhong with a serious expression and said again.

The sky is about to fall! Ma Zhong was so scared that he was shocked when he heard Li Jie's words. He had known before that there were too many officials involved in the Taicang theft case, so he thought that Li Jie and the court should not dare to do it in a big way. But now, judging by Li Jie's intention, he actually wanted to investigate it to the end. The transfer of officials was just to provide a foundation for this case.

"Law Ma, I know you are a person with a conscience. You must hate these corrupt officials very much. We are the same. Those people think that the court does not punish the public, so they are fearless. But I have made a decision that this case must be investigated to the end and will never let one go!" Li Jie said again with a firm expression.

When Ma Zhong heard Li Jie's words, his face was full of complicated expressions. He agreed with Li Jie's words very emotionally. After all, if he was willing to join others, why did he sit on the bench in the Ministry of Personnel for ten years?

But when Ma Zhong thought of the impact of the transfer of officials, he was very hesitant. After all, this offended scholars all over the world. He was also a scholar and knew the best way for these scholars to curse. Perhaps with Li Jiebao now, he might not be able to do anything, but he would definitely leave a lifetime of infamy.

Li Jie was also observing the change in Ma Zhong's expression. During this period, he was busy collecting personnel information from various yamen, especially those officials involved in the case, which were all the focus of his investigation. If he wanted to replace these officials, the Ministry of Personnel must participate, so he found Ma Zhong.

Ma Zhong's expression changed many times, and hesitated in his heart. After all, the impact of this matter was too great. Even if one was not done well, he might end up ruining his reputation.

Li Jie didn't seem to be in a hurry, just sitting quietly while drinking tea. He was not worried that Ma Zhong would regret it. After all, since he opened the document in his hand, he had already boarded his own pirate ship and it was impossible for him to come down again.

After a while, Ma Zhong raised his head with a bitter face, and then asked Li Jie: "Mr. Prince Consort, I would like to ask, will the matter of transferring officials be promoted to various places in the future, and even form common examples like the imperial examination?"

He finished reading Li Jie's document. The documents were all plans made for the officials involved in the case after they were arrested and promoted some officials from various yamen. The entire plan was very detailed, and even directly listed the names of minor officials suitable for promotion in each yamen. These were the information collected and summarized by Li Jie during this period.

However, Ma Zhong saw something longer in this plan. After all, he was not stupid. Li Jie had previously promoted the transfer of officials to officials, and now he used this case to promote the transfer of officials to officials in the Ming Dynasty. His ambitions were definitely great, and he would even form common rules in the future, thus competing with the imperial examination system.

Li Jie smiled again when he heard Ma Zhong's words, and then replied: "Ma Langzhong is indeed a smart person, so I will tell the truth. The world is the world of the world, not just the world of scholars, so the imperial examination system should have been changed long ago!"

Li Jie said this and looked at Ma Zhong, then said: "Dragon Ma, you are from Shaanxi. You should also know that some people are very brave in the previous imperial examination fraud case. Even Emperor Taizu dared to fool him. Although he was killed by Emperor Taizu, his roots are still there, so the Ming Dynasty needs a more reasonable way to select officials!"

When Ma Zhong heard Li Jie mention the previous fraud case of the imperial examination, he couldn't help but feel excited. The case was well known, especially it caused confrontation between scholars from the north and the south. Even now, scholars from the north and the south are all hostile to each other. Ma Zhong is from Shaanxi and serves as an official in the south. Most of his colleagues are from the south, so he was greatly excluded.

"The emperor understands, please give the prince consort the order. The emperor will do his best to help the prince consort get the matter done!" Ma Zhong finally took a long breath, then stood up and saluted Li Jie solemnly.
