    Volume 11 405 Hunting

    In the past, every time Yang Ling went on imperial business, he would be blessed by God and get a few days off to rest at home, but now rest is justified.  Although the emperor allowed him to enter the court to participate in politics, he did not have a permanent position in the court.

    You say that he is responsible for passing the official examinations, and he cannot work in the Ministry of Officials; you say that he is in charge of suppressing bandits, and it is not easy for him to work in the Ministry of War.  Once the majestic Grandpa sits there, where will you let the other ministers move?

    ? So he is very comfortable on this job. If he likes it, he will visit and discuss business matters. If he doesn't want to go, he will stay at home. No one can do anything to him.  Emperor Zhengde really took Yang Ling's suggestion seriously. Now the inner court is very stable. Du Fu is a man who doesn't read much, but he is honest and honest, and he is very serious in his work.  Pull out a list of all the materials consumed and compare them item by item to see what can be reduced.

    This is incredible. What Yang Ling mentioned was only something he could look up at. People often refer to gambling houses and brothels as gold-selling caves. From this point of view, the palace is the real gold-selling cave.  The daily consumption of silver taels is staggering, and many of the materials consumed are purely ostentatious.

    For example, the emperor's bedroom, study hall, etc., no matter whether the emperor is in or not, and whether there is something in it, what needs to be replaced is replaced every day, and the beast incense and red candles are constantly kept.  Although the eunuchs and maids in the palace have their monthly allowances, they cannot take more, but as long as they are familiar with the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it is easy to ask for something.  The emperor's internal treasury had to be purchased as soon as it was exhausted, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs could make a fortune after purchasing it. This sum of consumption was saved, and it would cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year.

    The Kunning Palace, Anqing Palace, and Zhonghe Palace are being renovated, and compliance with the emperor's will has also been temporarily suspended. In addition, the large budget for the New Year's Eve has been cut, and the household department has finally saved some money for the time being.  With an empty warehouse and negative accounts, Liu Zhong, the new secretary of the household department, was in a daze.

    Huang Qiyin reported to reduce redundant staff back then, but was relegated to a third-class county to become the county magistrate. Yang Ling's status was not the same as his, but Yang Ling did not dare to be careless. Now the emperor himself proposed and issued an order to implement it.  Much easier.  Moreover, Liu Jin had already executed it forcefully once before, and the current court officials were no more than those who bullied the honest emperor Hongzhi back then, so it was much easier than expected.

    ? Yang Tinghe knew that it would be more difficult to start in the capital, so he chose Nanjing first, and when things went smoothly there, it became a routine, and then layoffs in Beijing.  This skill was so clever that even if the officials of the Sixth Ministry of Nanjing wanted to take the route of being a trustee, they still had to struggle.

    The reduction of redundant staff is expected to save a large amount of salary for the court, and this matter has also produced an unexpected effect. The news can be released, and many officials who are just eating and waiting to die have a sense of crisis. Usually they are  If you have something to do, you will push it out, or use an official tone to suppress it. Now you worry about nothing to do, and your work efficiency has never been improved.

    This kind of efficiency cannot be underestimated. At that time, the traffic was inconvenient and the information was not effective. If many things were not dealt with in time, they would not have to be done when they remembered.  Although the improvement in the efficiency of official administration cannot be quantified, it has had an immeasurable effect on the entire bureaucracy of the Ming Dynasty.

    It is true that there are voices of opposition, but the people in power are governed by the "Officials Examination Law", and they will be punished if they do not do well.  Redundant staff, in order to fulfill their duties, they stare round and find fault with those in power every day, who would dare to follow selfishness?  Once the execution is strong and the efficiency of work is improved, the redundant staff who have been laid off have no room to object, so they can only pack their bags and go home, standing in the yard and cursing their mothers.

    At that time, there was no appeal office, so who would dare to make trouble?  Even if there are really unsightly ones, the East Factory, West Factory, Inner Factory, and Jinyiwei are like wolves and tigers, but they haven't opened for a long time.  Such a ring control ring, layer upon layer of supervision, layer upon layer of control, things went smoothly.

    Only the post station is very laborious to clean up. Regardless of the fact that the post station is a small place, when Yang Ling was in charge of the Jiming post station, the then Min Wen Jianmin county magistrate said that many people in this office are jealous, and he is a fat job.  Just because it is poor fat and supported by the local area, the fatter it is, the thinner it will be.

    Nowadays, the post station is not willing to be cleaned up, and most of the civil and military officials do not agree, because their salaries are limited. At that time, the transportation was inconvenient, and it would cost too much money to go home or visit family members.  In the past, they took advantage of the post station, but now they are not allowed to use the post station for non-official affairs, and the officials inevitably complained.

    But the things that Emperor Zhengde looked for, very soon.Confused?  You often go to accompany her, you may wish to tell some interesting stories, love between men and women, so that the princess has a heart of resentment, won't she insist on becoming a monk?  "

    Lian'er bit her lip, held back her smile and said, "In my opinion, it's better to find a handsome young man who is romantic, elegant and talented, maybe the princess will fall in love at first sight, and immediately come to the lower realm of thinking, and never ask for family again.  Promised Buddha."

    Yang Ling's complexion changed, and he said anxiously, "No way!"

    "Um?"

    Seeing Lian'er's inquiring eyes, Yang Ling glared at her, and said bitterly: "What a bad idea! This kind of method this method"

    Ma Lian'er thought it was interesting, but after all, the husband had multiple wives and concubines, and she didn't know Zhengde's character, so she didn't dare to assume that her guess was correct, and she didn't want to drag this matter on her husband.  So I stretched my waist, lazily showed off my beautiful figure in front of my husband, and said: "Okay, I understand, if you don't let me be a matchmaker, I have a way to persuade her, but  There is no rush for this matter, I often go to the nunnery to walk around, see every stitch".

    As soon as she said this, Yun'er rushed over excitedly with a post, and called outside the door: "Master, I have an important invitation."

    "Bring it in." Yang Ling picked up the tea and took a sip. Yun'er entered the room, saluted Lian'er first, and then handed the post to Yang Ling with both hands.

    When Yang Ling took the invitation, he first smelled a faint fragrance. Looking at the invitation card, which was gorgeously crafted and painted with gold characters, he guessed that some prince invited him to drink. He casually flipped through it, and was stunned for a while.

    Lian'er saw it, and leaned over to look in surprise, but was also there in a daze. After a long while, Yang Ling asked in astonishment: "Where is the messenger? Is he still there?"

    Yun'er replied obediently: "It's a father-in-law named Xiao Dingzi. The eldest lady rewarded him, and he left."

    Yang Ling patted the invitation card lightly, swallowed hard, and asked Lian'er in a daze, "His Royal Highness Princess Yongchun and Princess Xiang'er invited me to hunt in Qiushou? Why did they invite me?"

    Lian'er rolled her eyes cleverly: "I don't know, if it wasn't for the two girls with the title of princess, I would have thought that you had caused some romantic debts outside."

    Yang Ling said with a bitter face: "Don't be kidding, how dare I?"

    Lianer smiled and said: "I'm sorry you don't dare. But how dare you refuse the invitation of the two highnesses? It's just hunting in the royal garden, so let's go to socialize. The two princesses are not tigers, and they can  Can't you eat it?"

    "I'm not afraid of tigers, just blow them away with one shot. What I'm afraid of are women, especially princesses. If the emperor doesn't go, they invite me to hunt? Uhhow can I get my arrow skills?"  What about your shot? Why don¡¯t you go with me, your horsemanship and archery skills will surely scare the audience.¡±

    Lian'er curled her lips, and said a little sourly: "They specified that Duke Wei was invited to go hunting in the emperor's garden, but they didn't say to bring his female relatives. Wouldn't it be impolite for me to go? You are not afraid of thousands of troops. Although the two Highnesses  It's the princess of the royal family, but it's your daughter's family after all, so what's there to be afraid of? I think you've been in the officialdom for a long time, and you're afraid of conspiracy in everything."

    Yang Ling laughed dryly, and said, "Be careful, there is no big mistake. If you go, you have to go, I'm leaving!"

    Seeing him getting up in a hurry, Lianer asked in surprise, "Where are you going? Isn't it tomorrow?"

    Yang Ling waved his hands and said, "I'll ask someone to prepare robes, horses, bows and arrows. The other two little princesses are ghost spirits. I really don't know how to plan, but maybe they want to tease me.  .I have to go to the Leopard Garden as soon as possible, and tell the emperor what I have said first, so as to be prepared."

    Looking at the back of Yang Ling leaving in a hurry, Lian'er frowned: "What autumn hunting, the two princesses have come to the emperor's nunnery today, I think it is very likely that they will bring Princess Yongfu with them, my husband forbids me to do that."  Matchmaker, the two little princesses seem to intend to be matchmakers, but Her Majesty the Princess, wouldn't really intend to marry into the Duke's Mansion, right?

    In the Tang and Song Dynasties, concubines were allowed to take concubines, but in this dynasty, concubines were not even allowed, not to mention that the husband already had a regular wife.  Married to be a flat wife?  What if you are a jealous woman?  Although she talked with Princess Yongfu a few times, she is elegant and courteous, but who knows if she will become a jealous woman after she gets married?  "

    Lian'er was at home, worrying about the future Yang family.  But Yang Ling couldn't figure out the intentions of the two princesses, and felt uneasy.  He really never thought that Princess Yongfu would go to the Imperial Garden, it wasn't that he couldn't think of it, it was because the word hunting restricted his thinking, even though Yongfu hadn't officially become a monk, he was considered half a monk, can a monk kill?

    How could Yang Ling imagine that with Emperor Zhengde, the romantic emperor, standing there, how could his royal sister lack the romantic factor?  When hunting, how do you know whether you are hunting animals or humans?
