"Alright, wangye, don't worry.”Guo Ming received the king's order and hurriedly went to do it.
"Yes, it's done." Zhu Zhi looked at Xu Miaojin." Don't just stand there like a fool. Go back to the Imperial Residence."”
Xu Miaojin blinked her beautiful eyes."Is that all?"
"No more." Zhu Zhi said matter-of-factly,"You're just a concubine. What do you expect?"”
Xu Miaojin was speechless.
What was she dreaming about?
Phoenix coronet?
An official marriage?
Zhu Zhi ordered the servants to stamp her and then perfunctorily gave her a stamp!
……
After returning to the Liao Prince's mansion from the steel mill, Zhu Zhi walked straight into the study.
Xu Miaojin also followed him back to the study room of the Liao King's residence from the steel mill.
She wanted to prove her ability to Zhu Zhi.
Princess Liao noticed the two of them and just smiled without saying anything.
She knew her lord very well. Xu Miaojin was a noble and noble woman, but she couldn't be noble in front of his lord.
Because the Liao King was an unreasonable person.
This Xu Miaojin would probably have to suffer a lot at the hands of His Royal Highness before she could settle down.
……
Zhu Zhi sat on the armchair behind the table and picked up the brush.
Seeing his action, Xu Miaojin consciously went to grind the ink.
Although they didn't get along verbally, their actions were extremely well-coordinated.
After Xu Miaojin finished grinding the ink, Zhu Zhi dipped his brush in the ink and took out a document to start marking.
Zhu Zhi's approval speed was very fast. In a short while, he had edited a stack of documents.
Xu Miaojin took out a copy and read it carefully.
One could tell a person's character from the way they marked official documents.
"Ge Yuanliang, the deputy of the Gaizhou Guard, spent 900 taels of silver to buy a pair of blue and white porcelain vases from a merchant in Tianjin…Sentenced to execution?!”
Xu Miaojin was stunned. She looked at Zhu Zhi in confusion."Your Highness, don't you think this punishment is too hasty?”
Zhu Zhi did not stop writing because of her words. Instead, he asked while marking the official documents,"What do you think is the problem?"
"This Gaizhou Guard's Deputy Chiliarcher Ge Yuanliang only bought a pair of Yuan Dynasty blue flowers. Even if there is a problem, shouldn't we first investigate thoroughly, then interrogate, and wait for the evidence to be complete before making a conclusion?”Xu Miaojin frowned." Your Highness, you've given the royal order of 'immediate execution' so hastily. Isn't this an abuse of power that doesn't distinguish between the right and wrong?"”
"How much is the annual salary of a fifth-grade military officer in the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Zhi chuckled.”
"Fifth rank military officer, annual salary of 168 stones.”Xu Miaojin said without hesitation.
"An annual salary of one hundred and sixty-eight dans is equivalent to eighty-four taels of silver.”Zhu Zhi said lightly," Ge Yuanliang was born in poverty. After joining the army, he killed his enemies bravely. He was also tactful, so he was promoted very quickly. In just nine years, he rose from an ordinary soldier to a fifth-grade deputy thousand household of Gaizhou Guard.”
"His annual salary is only eighty-four taels. In other words, he needs eleven years of salary to afford this pair of blue and white vase. However, he had only joined the army for nine years, and had only served as the deputy of the Gaizhou Guards for two years. After a simple calculation, his salary since joining the army would not exceed four hundred taels.”
"Just based on his salary, he can't be sentenced to death.”Xu Miaojin said.
"He came from a poor family. Even if he sold his entire family, he wouldn't be able to gather 50 taels of silver. Adding on his salary of 400 taels of silver over the years, it would only be 450 taels of silver.”"To be able to buy a Yuan Blue Flower so easily, it means that his wealth is not just 800 taels." Zhu Zhi said calmly. Even if he really liked Yuan Qinghua so much that he would go bankrupt to buy it and borrow money from his relatives and friends, he would still be short of at least 200 taels. Where did this money come from? Where else can it be other than military expenses?"
"He embezzled military funds, this king shouldn't have killed him?”
Xu Miaojin hesitated for a moment and said,"It's only two hundred taels, and you killed a deputy thousand-man because of it?”
"Two hundred taels? Isn't 200 taels enough to sentence him to death?!"
Zhu Zhi said coldly,"The Ming Dynasty's iron law says that if you embezzled more than 60 taels, you will be executed immediately!"”
"Besides, what did he touch? What he touched was military expenses!"
"What is the military expenditure for? That was armor, weapons, and the blood of the soldiers! Do you know how many soldiers will die without these two hundred taels of military expenses? Ten, twenty? How many soldiers had he killed?”
"He's not touching the military expenses, he's taking the lives of our Liaodong Army!”"People will kill those who kill!" Zhu Zhi said indifferently.”
"Sentencing him to death is to make him pay for the lives of the soldiers who died because of his corruption!”
"Now, do you have any more questions?"
Xu Miaojin remained silent and continued to grind ink for Zhu Zhi.
Those who kill will be killed!
Zhu Zhi's way of handling things was simple and crude, but if one thought about it carefully, they would find that it made sense.
In the shortest amount of time, he would solve the problem in the most effective way.
Not only could it solve the problem, but it could also kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.
Xu Miaojin did not see through the logic in the beginning, not because she was narrow-minded, but because she was too inexperienced and did not have the decisiveness and decisiveness of Zhu Zhi.
Xu Miaojin looked at Zhu Zhi, who was focused on marking the official documents. Her heart moved slightly, and her eyes were filled with admiration.
