    The Beggar Gang cannot refuse such a big temptation. Just a safe place to live and food rations to survive are enough for the beggars at the bottom to abandon any position.

    On the other hand, once the Beggar Gang has such huge resources, it will not be easy to manage these low-level gang members.

    The two sides met again and quickly reached a series of agreements.  This thing doesn¡¯t need to be seen in written words. Anyway, they are purely using each other. No one should treat the other as a fool.

    The Beggar Gang will select a group of middle-level gang members who have a foundation in martial arts, and then disperse them to enrich the world's industries in various places.  As for Sihai, using the data provided by the Beggar Clan as a reference, they tried their best to mobilize money, food and materials so that the refugees could live longer and not die of cold and hunger.  When there are working conditions, Sihai will give priority to recruiting from the list provided by the Beggar Clan.

    After the cooperation agreement was reached, Sun Zheng began to vigorously rectify government-run charities.

    First, I went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites in person to ask for the money, food and supplies set by the government every year.

    The officials of the Ming Dynasty have always reached a consensus in this regard.  One hundred kilograms of grain was taken out of the warehouse, and in the end, when it was implemented, at most twenty kilograms could be seen.  This is an unspoken rule in officialdom, and everyone knows it.

    But Sun Zheng doesn¡¯t care about these, the government has clearly stated how many.  Who dares to miss me a piece of grain, a penny, or a piece of cloth? Be careful of retribution!  Don't say I didn't warn you.

    The officials are always unable to avoid all kinds of luck. Besides, so many people, can you all do all the inner palace celebrities?

    A few days later, a bizarre case occurred near the canal dock outside the city. More than two hundred corpses were found hanging in the woods and floating in the wind.

    Such a big case will of course alarm Shuntian Mansion and Jin Yiwei.  The cabinet and the emperor were also shocked when they heard the news, and ordered several departments to jointly investigate.

    However, after on-site autopsies, the authors came to an unbelievable conclusion: these people committed suicide, and there were no signs of homicide.  I just don¡¯t know why, but they all gather at the same time and place.  To put it another way, it¡¯s just a matter of luck.

    The emperor was quite calm. When he learned that Wu Zuo had committed suicide, he just said lightly, "I know, and that's it."

    Shuntian Mansion investigated the identities of the deceased and was shocked to find that these people were officials who had escaped from Luzeyuan and Tzu Chi Hospital earlier, as well as their entire families.  This scene of a whole family hanging together is really spectacular!

    The officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Rites were collectively shocked. This was the appearance of a baby that King Sun Yama had given birth to!

    There are more than two hundred people, dozens of families, and the whole family is dead!  How dare he?  How could I get rid of that hand!

    But what if you know that Sun Zheng did these things?  There is no evidence!  When handling cases in the Ming Dynasty, laws and regulations must be followed!

    The official from the Ministry of Rites who forced Sun Zheng back that day was so frightened that he lost his mind.  When I heard a noise on the street, I got scared and crawled under the table and bed, calling for help while crawling back.

    In just a few days, half of the people in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Rites, and the Shuntian Prefecture resigned or simply quit their jobs and disappeared.

    ??We are all in the officialdom, who can have a clean butt?  Who knows that one day this evil star will be unhappy, so he will take the whole family to the grove and hang himself on the southeast branch!

    The three bachelors of the cabinet sat on the wax together, and the disciples came to the door in turn to ask for help as if they were mourning.

    "If this doesn't work, how can I still be an official?"

    Three bachelors came to the emperor, and the emperor was puzzled. Every year, no less than a thousand people starve to death or freeze to death around the capital, but you don¡¯t see you getting angry?  There is civil unrest in the southeast and dozens of counties are in flames of war. Are you not angry?  A few officials who were absent without permission died and you got angry?  If you have that time, why don't you pay more attention to the resettlement of the refugees?

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Got it all!  No wonder that little King of Hell dared to do this. He was angry with His Majesty, and at least Your Majesty knew about it.

    "This is because His Majesty is dissatisfied with the work of the Luze Garden and the Charity Home. Well, thinking about it, Sun Zheng must have been assigned by His Majesty to appease the refugees by forcefully demanding those gardens!

    When I think about it, it¡¯s no wonder.  Even though we extract so much money and food every year, refugees starve to death and freeze to death every year.  However, the entire officialdom has taken it for granted, and His Majesty has cut down the expenses in the palace and used them for relief. The result is still the same every year.  Who else could be less temperamental?

    The hope that the emperor would come forward to restrain Sun Zheng was dashed.  This vicious dog was originally raised by the emperor himself!

    There is no other way, just find someone to talk to.

    After searching around, I found that only Yang Tinghe could talk to Sun Zheng.  Originally, the person with whom I had the best relationship was Cheng Minzheng, but Mr. Cheng was ordered to retire because of Tang Bohu¡¯s fraud case last year.Enjoying old age life in my hometown.

    Yang Tinghe was born as a child prodigy and read a lot of books. He always felt that he was the protagonist of the world and that all the laws of the world should operate according to his own ideas.

    He clearly knew that Sun Zheng disliked him, but he still felt good about himself, thinking that he was the righteous party, and that Sun Zheng was just a madman who relied on the power of the Tian family to do whatever he wanted.  He also believed that with his righteousness, he would definitely be able to refute him face to face.  After all, evil never defeats good.

    Yang Tinghe was taken to the backyard of Sihai Inn. When he saw Sun Zheng, he was concentrating on playing with a bamboo cage.  There is a vertical shaft in the center of the bamboo cage, and a chain below it is connected to a high frame next to it.

    As soon as Sun Zheng raised his hand, an old eunuch on the elevated platform stepped on the foot pedal, and the bamboo cage began to rotate steadily and quickly.

    "Okay! Put on the shell and try it!" After Sun Zheng patted it, the two old eunuchs were filled with joy. They fastened the bamboo cage with wooden boards and tightened it with belts.

    Yang Tinghe despised this kind of behavior. This young man was originally smart, but he refused to use it on the right path.  He used this kind of strange and obscene skills to bewitch the prince all day long. Now even his majesty is under his influence and often says some incomprehensible things.

    But Yang Tinghe will never forget the lesson he learned last time when he tried to quarrel with someone but was vomited blood instead.  He later put in a lot of effort to sneak into the East Palace again, but he could no longer lose his job because of this villain who hated the emperor.

    Several old eunuchs cooperated with each other, put the wet clothes into the interior of the bamboo cage, closed the lid, and stepped on the pedals. The bamboo cage buzzed, and the water splashed out from under the firmly buckled wooden shell.

    After a few minutes, I opened the lid and inspected it. The clothes I took out were semi-dry and evenly dispersed after shaking lightly.

    "You are so awesome! With this thing and the agitator and washing cage, it will be much easier to wash clothes in the future! It will also dry quickly!"

    Sun Zheng smiled and waved his hands, and went to the wash basin to clean his hands. The old eunuch handed him the soap: "The recipe for adding spices has been decided, and a batch was sent to the palace the day before yesterday. The emperor sent a message back, saying that the empress liked it very much. I also rewarded him.  He has bought some pieces of silk and satin from us This is because of the glory of the young master. I have been in the palace for decades and have never seen the face of the emperor. Unexpectedly, when I leave the palace at the end of my life, I will have the opportunity to meet him.  The emperor struck up a conversation"

    The old eunuch was chattering, and Sun Zheng listened with a smile. From time to time, he would make a few remarks and talk about some technical or management issues that should be paid attention to, while ignoring Yang Tinghe the whole time.

    Yang Tinghe was about to get angry when he stood up. Sun Zheng finally finished taking care of the chores for the retired palace servants and invited Master Yang to sit down and drink tea.

    Yang Ting was extremely amiable. In the past, it was officials like them who put on airs for others, but he never expected that he would also be put on airs by an inner palace man.

    "Sun Baihu is so diligent!" I finally remembered that this person who didn't like it regarded him as a eunuch. The two uncles still have nightmares every day.

    "Master Yang, you're welcome. We're acquaintances, so don't play tricks. If you have something to say, just say it."

    "What do you want?" After all, Yang Tinghe had been his master for a few days, and still had a sense of status superiority.

    Sun Zheng rubbed his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Master Yang said this for no reason! What do I want? I want the world to be peaceful. I want everyone to have food to eat and books to read. I want the officials of the Ming Dynasty.  Everyone abides by the law, and everyone is like a dragon. Can Master Yang help me achieve this?"

    you!  How can we talk today?

    "Look! It can't be done, right? Then what's the point of asking this?"

    Yang Tinghe thought of the instructions of several pavilion elders, and felt unhappy: "What kind of regulations do you have regarding the matter of Luze Garden and Tzu Chi Home?"

    "Simple! From now on, our Jinyiwei and Sihai Inn will do these things. If the court has any requirements, we can notify them in writing. But there is one thing, the money and food distributed by the finance every year must not be less than a penny!"

    "Without official supervision? Do you want to create a state within a state and rebel?"

    "Are you going to do this? Rebellion, thank you for your words! If you continue to control it, the government will really force the people to rebel! The civil uprising in the southeast and the rogue bandits in the southwest, which one was not brought about by you officials?  In the end, you change places and continue to be free, but the people are the ones who suffer! Your Majesty is fed up with food in the palace and has no sleep at night. Each of you eats slickly and behaves like a slut. His Majesty gives you high officials and generous salaries in order to govern the people.  Yes. Master Yang, don¡¯t get it wrong!¡±

    Yang Tinghe wanted to refute, but suddenly a cold sweat broke out on his forehead. He was right!  Your Majesty asks officials to govern the people. If you can't manage them well, they will of course have to replace them.

    This is not Sun Zheng¡¯s own problem, it¡¯s His Majesty¡¯s dissatisfaction with the officials.

    This is the struggle between imperial power and ministerial power!
