Chapter 101: Difficulty Traveling
What Zhang Jingyi knows very well is the current world.
The rich family is in ruins, and even the officials at the lower level have been eroded their sense of responsibility.
This actually involves management issues.
Therefore, if you want to motivate the emotions of the people in Qingpingfang, you have to make trouble.
Without any trouble, whether it is the inside of the Jinyiwei or the street managers and lanes in various streets and lanes, they only know how to be lazy and stumble.
Zhang Jingyi’s method is very simple, to do exercise.
Creating excellence selection and setting up inspections.
The sanitation is improved every month. The inspectors conduct irregular investigations and punishments on the situation in each street and alley. When they find a large amount of garbage and water accumulation, they will be rectified and punished the people at the end of the ranking!
For those who have obtained the advanced month, they will be given generous rewards and even... affect their future.
People in this era are generally indifferent to hygiene, which is actually very easy to understand. This is not necessarily enough to eat enough. Who has the time to care about this?
But in fact, sanitation conditions are a huge hidden danger in neighbors with large populations.
A large amount of water can easily breed mosquitoes, which may cause various terrible diseases.
If garbage piles become a breeding ground for rats, there have been many plagues in the capital. One plague may result in the death of thousands of people.
At the beginning of this evaluating campaign, many people didn’t know what was going on at first, but only knew that they were going to check hygiene. What is hygiene?
The street leaders and alley leaders of each street are actually hired in the name of the inspection department, most of them are Tongsheng. Old Tongsheng is very pitiful. He has been studying for half his life and fails even a scholar. So he has to go to teach or do something else with tears in his eyes. Therefore, they have cultural knowledge and have experienced the world.
At this time, everyone got together and shook their heads. At this time, they probably felt that Zhang Baihu was his own.
You see, only vulgar people regard cleaning as cleaning garbage, and Zhang Baihu is different. This is called hygiene, and it is suddenly elevated such vulgar things to elegance.
It seems that Zhang Baihu's knowledge and level are almost always able to pass the scholar's exam.
But soon, many ridiculous things happened.
At first, everyone didn't care, but later they found that this thing was really powerful. The inspectors looked for your garbage everywhere, and the streets were clean and neat. At the end of the month, they got excellent ones and hung your name at the door of the inspection and the Hundred Houses. This is called the Honor List.
Another list is the one that is hanging on the back, which is called the black list, which is specially designed for people to visit.
Zhang Jingyi also hired a painter. At first, he told everyone that he was just painting a portrait. Zhang Baihu was busy. Many street managers and alley managers may not be able to remember it. If you look at the paintings more, you will get familiar with them. Everyone was flattered. Unexpectedly, Zhang Baihu was so concerned about him in his busy schedule.
Until the person on the blacklist and his portrait hung beside his name like a wanted criminal, someone almost turned his back on the spot.
This is no longer a matter of awards and bonuses. This is a matter of face. After all, it is a person who has read books and is shameless. So a vigorous street rectification campaign began.
This thing...is like an arms race.
At first everyone was on the same level, and then someone soon found another way.
For example, if I don’t want garbage, I will hire someone to clean it up early in the morning to save the garbage from accumulated over time.
I saw other streets and alleys and became popular immediately. If you hire me, I will apply for some money to hire me.
Later, I don’t know who learned the method and started looking for those old women. The old women were idle at home, giving her two or three cents a day to go out to the streets, staring at those who were unhygienic and littered at any time, neither beating nor scolding, but just preaching to you. This statement is actually more uncomfortable than beating and scolding. If you dare to backfire, she will dare to lie on the ground and roll to show you.
Of course, there are also some who like to do superficial skills, making all kinds of troubles, and they are in a mess for a while.
Zhang Jingyi was happy to see it happen. In fact, he couldn't come up with a real management method himself, so he simply used this kind of motivation to stimulate everyone to show their abilities. There was always someone who came up with a complete set of experiences. Moreover, such experiences were not worried about not being promoted, and there was no need to go to the inspection department and the Hundred Houses Institute at all. He learned all the other streets and alleys.
However, the Inspection Department and the Hundred Houses Office are relatively arrogant and almost does not allow other yamen to enter this territory, which of course also makes Shuntian Mansion very dissatisfied.
In addition, some censors and Hanlin people were dissatisfied with the style of this new earl, so many people were picking on it.
What they couldn't tolerate the most was that Zhang Jing and the military officers actually did the work of the county magistrate in a roundabout way, and the boundary was a bit far.
The governance matters are done by civil officials, but what do military officials know?
Your Majesty set this precedent and will be appointed to inspectors in the future. Is that so great? Then what are you doing for the Jinshi exam?
So many sarcastic melodies flew into the palace like snowflakes.
Generally speaking, even if the close ministers like Zhang Jingyi are scolded, they are useless.
After all, the Tongzheng envoy who was responsible for sending memorials into the palace would put these memorials to the bottom.
The emperor received hundreds of memorials and votes every day, and it was impossible to read them all, so an unwritten rule was formed. Often important memorials were placed in front of them, not important, or just memorials that were simply scolding others, and then they were put behind them.
But Wei Zhongxian obviously didn't want Zhang Jing to show off too much, and felt that he was just taking this opportunity to kill Majesty.
Therefore... Emperor Tianqi has recently discovered a strange phenomenon. Every memorial sent by him is placed in the forefront, which is the memorial that impeached Zhang Jingyi.
The more I saw the Apocalypse Emperor became more and more surprised.
Is his reputation so bad?
He sat down today and read the memorial as usual, and finally couldn't hold back his anger. So he asked someone to call Wei Zhongxian to his side and asked, "Why did how many people impeach Zhang Jingyi today?"
Then he pointed to a memorial on the table and said, "Look at this one, it was from the prefect of Shuntian. He heard that Qingpingfang recruited some idle people and disturbed the people everywhere, and the people were suffering. Really? I don't believe it."
"And here, this is a memorial from the censor, saying that Zhang Jing was alone and would have been a mess in Qingpingfang..."
"besides……"
Wei Zhongxian looked heartbroken at this time and said hesitantly: "This... I'm not easy to say."
"Why is it hard to say?" Emperor Aoki pulled down his face.
Wei Zhongxian showed a little embarrassed and said, "I want to defend Zhang Baihu, but... Zhang Baihu is a close friend of me after all, so I have to avoid suspicion."
Emperor Apocalypse: “…”
Wei Zhongxian said again: "However, there is a saying that flies do not bite seamless eggs. I have discovered such a situation these days. Even if the civil and military officials in the court have more and more people who have opinions on the governance of Qingpingfang. I think... it is because Zhang Jingyi sometimes... acts without rules. But... he is young after all..."
Yes, why don’t everyone scold others, just scold him Zhang Jingyi?
That must be Zhang Jingyi’s problem.
Emperor Tianqi was so silent that he looked up depressedly as the rain was raining outside.
When spring begins, it is the drizzle that lasts for days, and the whole capital seems to be wet.
Zhang Jingyi was still the same, and his mind was on his Qingpingfang.
This work attitude still made Emperor Aoki very pleased.
The only thing is that I have been scolded too many times.
If you do a statistics, Zhang Jingyi is definitely the first in the list of mediocre officials now.
Emperor Tianqi pursed his lips and said, "Don't send such impeachment in the future."
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Your Majesty said he would not give it to you, but I won't give it to you, but... I am afraid that if I cut off my advice, I will do something extraordinary if there is a minister who refuses to accept it."
Emperor Tianqi raised his eyebrows and said coldly: "If you are out of date, just let's have a stick. Yes, when will Master Sun enter Beijing?"
Emperor Tianqi obviously did not notice it. At this time, the smile on Wei Zhongxian's lips was a little stiff, and Wei Zhongxian said, "I heard that it's only been these few days..."
"Just these days?" Emperor Tianqi was cheering up and had obvious expectations in his eyes.
Emperor Tianqi has always trusted Sun Chengzong. When Sun Chengzong and Wei Zhongxian fought each other, if Sun Chengzong had not been able to bear the anger and resigned directly and left, I was afraid that no one would have shaken the status of this imperial teacher.
In the mind of Emperor Tianqi, Sun Chengzong was his mentor and was half an elder who taught him. Now that he hasn't seen him for a few years, Emperor Tianqi misses him even more.
So Emperor Tianqi said, "If Master Sun comes, he will immediately enter the palace to meet him at any time."
"Abide by the order."

The rains and rains of days have made the road to Beijing from the wharf in Beitongzhou become muddy and difficult to walk.
At this time, a carriage and horse were just in the rain, and they were stuck in the mud several times. The old man in the car was extremely miserable. He finally arrived at the outer city, but the outer city did not make his condition much better.
Because it is even more complicated here, the carriages and horses are here, and they are even blocked several times in a row. Either something happened before or something happened, and someone quarreled in the Tao.
Once, there was a puddle in front of me. The coachman thought it was just going to shallow water. After all, this was on the street, so he naturally didn't take it seriously, so he rode his horse forward, and the result was... it was a huge pit.
With a clang, the water splashed ten feet high, and then the shaft of the carriage and the horses fell directly into it, and the people in the carriage fell out directly.
The old man sniffed and fell into the puddle, almost bleeding from his head and muddy, and got up in a mess. At this time, the old man's hot temper came up and couldn't help but want to curse people. His mouth trembled, but found that... there seemed to be nothing to scold.
However, there was a group of idle men at the edge of the pit, who seemed to be waiting for such a car to pass by. When they saw the old man, they burst into laughter.
