Lord Zhao Zhenxiang clearly did not believe it!
Even if he believed that this top scholar had the ability.
At this time, he had to question it.
He even insisted that Yu Qian didn't have the ability.
The head of the Department for Purging Officials, Zhao Zhenxiang, laughed in his heart.
Then, he pretended to sigh helplessly and said,"Lord Yu Qian, if it was any other day, I would not stop you from being appointed as the governor by the Imperial Supervisor. However, today's matter concerns the Imperial Supervisor's new policies. If anything goes wrong, forgive me for being blunt, but Lord Yu Qian is just a small official in the Board of Rites.”
After he finished speaking, Zhao Zhen faced the country supervisor Zhu Zhanshi and bowed, saying righteously,"This subject has submitted a memorial to the Imperial Supervisor. After careful consideration, I will appoint a suitable official to take up the position of Jiangnan's governor. This is to prevent the Imperial Supervisor's plan from being ruined and the state affairs from being delayed.”
Zhu Zhan looked at Zhao Zhenxiang and asked,""Lord Zhao, please recommend someone."
Directly going straight to the point, Zhu Zhan Xin did not give this Zhao Zhenxiang the chance to retreat.
Since he had jumped out, he would be the one to stand out.
You still want to go back?
Zhu Zhanmo didn't agree.
Zhao Zhenxiang was stunned. He originally wanted to return it, but why did he still want him to recommend it?
Wasn't this clearly digging a hole in front of him?
If the recommendation was not good, wouldn't he be punished?
Zhao Zhenxiang began to feel guilty in his heart.
Why did this country supervisor have so many tricks?
He had already taken a detour to cause trouble.
How could this young imperial grandson grab onto his braids?
The country overseer had spoken. Not replying was also a crime.
He thought about how temperamental this country supervisor was, and how he could kill people without even nodding his head.
Zhao Zhenxiang braced himself and said," Reporting to the Country Supervisor. The Ministry of Personnel can carefully select a suitable official from the reserve officials in the capital. After discussing with the three cabinet ministers, they can recommend him to the Country Supervisor."”
Retreat to advance!
Zhao Zhenxiang was smug.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Zhanxin said coldly from above,""Oh, so Lord Zhao, as the head of the Department for Purging Officials of the Ministry of Official Personnel, actually couldn't take out a single person. Lord Zhao can't avoid the crime of dereliction of duty.”
Puff!
Zhao Zhenxiang almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"I know I was wrong, Minister!"”
"Then do you still think that Yu Qian is not suitable?”
"It's suitable! It's very suitable!"
"Get lost."
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhao Zhenxiang quickly got up and cowered into a ball. He hung his head and quickly returned to the officials of the Ministry of Official Personnel Affairs.
Zhu Zhan felt that with such a blow, Yu Qian's matter was settled.
Unexpectedly, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel jumped out again.
"Minister Meng Changgu, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, has a memorial.”
"Come out and speak."
"Thank you, Supervisor."
After Meng Changgu bowed, he stood up and asked Yu Qian,"Lord Yu, as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, I have the responsibility to assess all officials. Since the Overseer of the State has appointed you, but in line with my duty to serve the country, this lowly official still wants to ask Lord Yu, have you been to Jiangnan? Do you know what Jiangnan's commercial trade is like? How much land is there?"
A fatal problem.
He didn't aim at Zhu Zhanshi, the supervisor of the country, nor did he grab onto Yu Qian's work resume.
He stood out on the spot to test his ability.
It had to be said that this Meng Changgu was much better than Zhao Zhenxiang.
This way, if Yu Qian couldn't answer and didn't answer well, it would also prove Zhu Zhan Xin's inability to judge people.
It's your responsibility to know people but not to know them!
However, at this moment, Zhu Zhanxin was calm and composed.
More than that, it was his confidence in Yu Qian.
"Yu Qian, get up and properly answer Lord Meng's question."”
"Yes, Country Supervisor."
At the same time, Zhu Zhan Xin also looked at the lords below and directly said,""If any of you are not convinced, you can also stand up and ask Yu Qian questions. If he can't answer, then he doesn't need to go on this trip to Jiangnan.”
For a time, the officials in the court began to discuss animatedly.
All of them were so excited that they wanted to jump out.
However, when he saw the ten guards on both sides.
They were also holding it in and considering it first.
Isn't Lord Meng asking now?
There was no hurry.
Yu Qian tidied his official robe and turned to face Meng Changgu.
Yu Qian said confidently," Everyone says that Jiangnan is good. In my early years, I was fortunate enough to travel to Jiangnan. As for the question behind you, Sir, it can be recorded in the history of the previous dynasty that 'Jiangnan gentry has a large land of more than 1,000 or 10,000 mu.' There are also 'farmland connected to the lake, reaching a total of thousands of acres!'”
Meng Changgu's eyes narrowed, and a trace of surprise flashed in his sharp eyes. Then, he asked,"Alright, then may I ask Lord Yu, how much do the tenants of the Jiangnan farmland earn in a year?”
This question was even more detailed. Meng Changgu was betting that Yu Qian couldn't answer it.
Who knew that Yu Qian would smile and answer,""A thousand mu of land is worth a thousand taels of silver, which is tens of millions of taels of silver every year…These can be said to be wealthy families, and each of them is a powerful gentry.”
Yu Qian spoke in great detail, even counting the situation of several aristocrats in Jiangnan in detail, simply as if he knew everything.
Meng Changgu was shocked!
But he was also anxious.
This kind of person could not be allowed to go to Jiangnan.
Cold sweat broke out on Meng Changgu's forehead. He wiped the sweat off his forehead with the long sleeve of his official robe. He gritted his teeth and asked again,"Since we are implementing the new policy of supervising the country, do you know the drawbacks of the Jiangnan officialdom?”
This question was very poisonous.
Even Zhu Zhan put down the teacup in his hand when he heard this.
After all, Yu Qian had been to Jiangnan and had read a lot of poetry and books. He was familiar with all kinds of classics and history, as well as a large number of wild books.
But he had never been an official in Jiangnan!
This was clearly a trap, a trap that could kill without blinking.
Zhu Zhan was sweating for Yu Qian.
Yu Shao Bao, what should you do now?
"Hahahaha!"
Suddenly, Yu Qian looked up to the sky and laughed!
Yu Qian stared at Lord Meng Changgu opposite him and said with a brilliant expression,"It is recorded in the Jiangnan Notes that most of the Jiangnan village officials and gentry relied on their power to bully the villagers. As for the Jiangnan officials who are first and second rank officials…"
Yu Qian paused for a moment and looked at the Jiangnan officials in the court. He said,"Most of them are recommended to take bribes, embezzled money and grain, controlled salt administration, cheated believers…and even involved in lawsuits and so on.”
Speaking of excitement, Yu Qian raised his voice and said loudly,"Not only that, my lords, there are countless cases. Just by flipping through the records of the Jiangnan corruption case in our court, there are 3,151 cases. Since the founding of the Great Ming Dynasty, there has never been a decrease!”
The witty words were continuous, Zhu Zhanyu was stunned when he heard it.
Yu Shaobao was Yu Shaobao!
A famous official had his own talent!
