Author: Use your soul to aim

When Li Zheng saw these young men disobeying orders, he felt that he had lost face in front of his superiors, so he started to beat them.

Zhang Zongxian was very unhappy when he saw Li Zheng being so arrogant, and immediately stopped Li Zheng.

"Stop, you dare to beat the people in my presence. You don't know how to bully the people on weekdays."

Hearing Zhang Zongxian's words there, he was so frightened that he quickly knelt on the ground.

Zhang Zongxian ignored Li Zheng who was kneeling on the ground, but walked up to several junior students and said:

"I am the new magistrate of the state. I asked Li Zheng to organize everyone to clear the canals. It is already May. If the wheat is not watered, it will be too late. Can you water an acre of land in a day by carrying water on your shoulders? Everyone

After we work together to clear the ditches, there will be a steady stream of water to water the wheat."

After saying that, someone bowed his head and said:

"This canal will be dredged for the big households and Li Zheng family's land. We poor people can't use this river water on our original land."

Immediately, there were government officials who wanted to arrest the young students who were talking. Zhang Zongxian first stopped the government officials and then patiently said to the young students:

"Dear dear friends, I will not leave today. I will dredge the water canal with you. As for how to water the original land, I have ordered people to build a rollover truck. When the time comes, the rollover truck will be used to carry water to the source. It's just that the rollover truck still needs to be used.

Time builds.

But after the canals are dredged, you don’t have to go to the river to fetch water, you can just carry it at the entrance of the village. It still saves everyone’s effort.”

After saying that, he took off his official uniform and hat, wearing only his middle coat, rolled up his sleeves, picked up the wooden shovel from the side and started working.

Everyone saw that Mr. Zhizhou was starting to work, and they all went down to the canal to work. The young men also put down their poles and started to work.

Zhang Zongxian was completely unaccustomed to using this wooden shovel. It was very laborious to use. He lamented that after more than two thousand years of the Iron Age, people still couldn't afford iron farm tools.

Later, let Taiping bring more iron farm tools to the people and place more orders for those workshops.

There is strength in numbers, and with the mobilization of various villages, the canal has been dredged by the afternoon. As long as the big water tanker on the other side of the river is loaded, there will be a steady flow of river water.

After clearing the canal, Zhang Zongxian said to the people present:

"Today the canal has been dredged. I will go back and supervise the construction of the water tanker. When the water comes in, I will overturn the tanker and the people's land will be watered."

The work of Zhizhou has brought great impact to the local people. Now Master Zhizhou promises that their land will be watered. First, the young people knelt down to thank Master Zhizhou, and then all the people present also knelt down to thank Master Zhizhou.

.

Zhang Zongxian did not help the people kneeling on the ground, but got up and mounted his horse and quickly returned to the county seat.

When I got back to the county seat, I immediately called the manager of the workshop and asked him how the carpenters were summoned and whether the construction of the large waterwheel had started.

The boss of the workshop had been engaged in road construction, hoping to finish the road section he surrounded early so that he could get the wages early. He did not take Zhang Zongxian's order to heart at all. He neither surveyed the canals nor summoned carpenters to build water canals.

car.

Now that Zhang Zongxian asked, he could only shirk the fact that he had too many things to do today and think about summoning the carpenters tomorrow.

Zhang Zongxian sneered at the boss of the workshop, I dug mud all afternoon to fight the drought. I asked you to do something and you still shirk it. Don’t you know that the officials in Qingjian County call me the living king of hell?

It seems that if I don't give you some authority, you won't work well for me.

Then he ordered everyone working in the yamen to come over. In particular, all the officials in the workshop must come over.

After all the officials arrived, Zhang Zongxian asked the officials from the workshop to come out. After they came out, he said to them:

"You must also know that the Ming Dynasty punished officials by sitting together, and those who knew and failed to act were guilty of the same crime as the criminals. Those who caused the government's deficit must be compensated. If they cannot make up for it, your descendants will continue to make up for it until "the compensation is exhausted."

You are all from the factory, and now I will give you a chance."

Then he pointed to the manager of the workshop standing in the middle of the lobby.

The boss of the workshop looked at his two men in despair, and the two men glanced at each other. One of the officials reacted the fastest and immediately shouted:

"I want to report that the house owners colluded with profiteers to renovate the Confucian Temple last year, substituting it for quality. They used rotten wood instead of good wood to repair the Confucian Temple."

Seeing that his colleague had taken the lead, another official also quickly shouted:

"My young master also reported it, and he was also in charge of the household. Every time the county repaired a building, he falsely reported excess masonry, stone, and wood. The false report of masonry, stone, and wood was taken home and he built a big house for himself."

The boss of the workshop was also anxious. While shouting injustice, he angrily scolded his subordinates.

"Master, I have been wronged! They are the ones who falsely accused me. I usually treat you two very well! Why are you falsely accusing me?"

The official who first made the report retorted to the officer:

"We, the officials, don't receive much salary, and you still ask for filial piety from us. When have you ever treated me sincerely?"

"You~ you are talking nonsense. I am wronged! I am really wronged! They all falsely accused me and others."

Zhang Zongxian looked at the three of them accusing and abusing each other, and felt that the person who made the Ming Law on the spot was very powerful! They sat down together and ignored the whistleblower. In the end, all the people who pursued the stolen goods were their descendants. These rules must have been in place in previous lives.

, how much loss can be saved for the country!

But why did corruption become so serious in Ming Dynasty?

When Zhang Zongxian saw that the fire was almost done, he said:

"Since I've reported you two, are you willing to sign your confession?"

If two officials are like this, how dare they say they don't want to. Say yes quickly.

The two of them drew back, but the owner of the workshop still wanted to fight to the death and shouted:

"I also want to report the younger ones, and the younger ones also want to report their colleagues. They have also done things that violated the law."

When the judge next to him asked other house owners to hear this, he immediately broke into a cold sweat.

After Zhang Zongxian looked at the guilty judges, he reprimanded the boss of the workshop who was already kneeling underground:

"What I hate the most are people like you. You are taking the salary from the court and the support of the people, but you still don't do any good things. Now you dare to bite randomly. Someone come and give me a slap in the face."

Before the officials could take action, the judge immediately went up to the workshop manager and started a fierce fight between them. The workshop manager lost two of his teeth on the spot.

The workshop manager covered his mouth and pointed at the judge. What did he want to say? Unfortunately, his mouth was full of blood and his speech was unclear.

Seeing that this guy still wanted to talk, the judge picked up the fire sign thrown by Zhang Zongxian on the ground and pointed it at the workshop manager's mouth.

The boss of the workshop was beaten so hard that blood spurted out of his mouth, and he fainted after a while.
