It was already late October, and the situation this year was pretty good. Altan had a rare year of sank. He did not lead his army south to plunder, and there was no war everywhere in the northwest.

Although the Japanese turmoil in the southeast has not been completely quelled so far, Xu Hai's head was sent to Beijing, and thousands of Japanese pirates under his command have disappeared. Wang Zhi led his troops to surrender, but military newspapers came from time to time, and officials from the southeast were always worried.

Therefore, the Zhejiang Guild Hall has always been the most lively. Many Southeast officials and merchants will come here to find out the news, and there are many senior officials among them.

For example, today, Zhao Wenhua, the Minister of Works, ran into Yuan Wei at the entrance of the Zhejiang Guild Hall. The two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They were not worried about the disaster in their hometown, but received news that the fleets of the Yuan family and the Zhao family were scattered out of the sea.

They are both from Cixi and are fellow villagers, but Zhao Wenhua is accomplices Yan Song to take the throne, and Yuan Wei is fond of Emperor Jiajing with Qing Ci. The two of them are not on the same path. Although they have daily interactions, they are just due to the name of fellow villagers.

"My Mercun, this time it's really..." Yuan Wei was angry after thinking about it, "But ask the nephew to talk to each other, that guy actually detained the Zhao family!"

Yuan Wei's younger brother found Zhao Wenhua's eldest son and went to Qian Yuan to talk to each other. Well, the Zhao family's fleet was also detained.

Zhao Wenhua smacked his lips. Don’t you know what kind of cruel character that guy is?

Zhao Wenhua also cursed in his heart... But his son was so arrogant that he actually jumped out and said that he had nothing to do with him... I, I, don't have much weight in front of him!

After saying a few polite words, Yuan Wei turned around and left. Zhao Wenhua also got into the sedan chair and returned to the Ministry of Works. Now his head was covered with wood, wood, wood!

It has been more than half a year, and the three halls are still in ruins. The giant trees used together are basically... They are not in decline. Judging from this situation, don’t mean that it’s been 2018, and they can’t be built in three or four years!

The reason is very simple. Emperor Jiajing was so proud of his face. He ordered the Ministry of Works to choose a combination of giant wood, and it had to be nanmu. The Ministry of Works originally wanted to combine three woods and replace nanmu with fir wood, but Emperor Jiajing called Zhao Wenhua into Xiyuan without hesitation and cursed him.

Although the Yan Party has a huge influence, the Ministry of Works has always been the Yan Party’s private land. No one will take the blame for him, Zhao Wenhua.

It is just a few buildings, but it actually involves a lot. For example, when Gao Chong, the Guizhou Fuzhang reported that the amount of wood collection funds in this province should be used for more than 1.38 million taels of silver, which is a huge amount of labor. It is not a province that can handle it alone. Please allow Guangdong, Guangxi, Jiangxi, Yunnan and other provinces to provide bank funding.

Zhao Wenhua only went out with a little wind. Well, all provinces have the same tune, and they all have many disasters and injuries, which is difficult to fund.

Now the Ministry of Works can only make a fuss, and finally wrote in the document submitted to the cabinet, "There are other expedient measures and make multiple plans."

I can only do this, fool it and pull it over... When I can't fool it, I'll talk about it then!

As soon as I returned to the Ministry of Works, news came, but it was not about Zhao Wenhua's letter, but about Yuan Wei, a fellow villager who had just chatted with Zhao Wenhua.

After hearing the news, Zhao Wenhua sighed in his heart, and he could indeed pee into a pot, and he was all ordinary ruthless characters.

Indeed, since a month ago, Xu Wei knocked Yuan Wei, a Hanlin Academy, downed Yuan Wei, a Hanlin Academy, in front of many colleagues. It is recognized by the Beijing center that this guy is really a ruthless person.

Thinking about Qian Yuan beat his future father-in-law Xu Fan and blew away, kicking Zou Yinglong away in the same year twice. The officials in the capital were afraid of these scholars in Suiyuan... They looked gentle and elegant, but they were all people who wanted to swing their fists in a disagreement!

Today, Yuan Wei couldn't help it again. He just received a letter from the guild hall. His younger brother, nephew, and second son were detained by the government office, and the Yuan family was forced to pay a fine of 1,000 yuan.

In addition, today's Qing Ci was the first to win the lottery. Yuan Wei was sarcastic, sarcastic, and scolded the gods... As a result, Xu Wei counterattacked, and Yuan Wei was so angry that he jumped straight.

I don’t know who started the move first. Anyway, Li Chunfang was caught on her face and Guo Pu’s hair was messed up.

After listening to Huang Jin's speech speechlessly, Emperor Jiajing turned his head to look at Xu Wei, whose clothes were obviously deformed, "Win?"

"Of course I won." Xu Wei smiled, "The eyes are blue."

"Southeast literati, who is not gentle and elegant? Who did you learn this from..."

"Your Majesty clearly sees that he has sharp teeth and sharp mouths, and he will take action if he disagrees with words. Naturally, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black."

"Okay, okay, it's really worthy of being a friend of life and death, and it was carved out in the same mold!" Emperor Jiajing laughed and said, "Now there are rumors in the capital that Qian Zhan is worthy of being a surname Qian. People are obsessed with money, and they are just making trouble for the tax and silver. The Hanlin Academy is not satisfied with fighting, and they actually make trouble in the West Garden!"

"I am guilty." Xu Wei fell to the ground, "but Zhan Cai is not greedy for money, and all taxes and silver are returned to the Duke. Jingchuan Duke's reputation is honest and honest. Everyone in the world knows."

"Okay, get up." Emperor Jiajing put down the note in his hand, "Is there a letter recently?"

Xu Wei stood up and took out a letter from his sleeve, opened it directly and said, "The word Zhan Cai... the young child's graffiti should be said."

"The young children doodle, so they are not tolerated by Hanlin." Emperor Jiajing leaned on the couch and complained: "I guess Zhan Cai will cause trouble for you sooner or later."

On that day, Xu Jie suggested that Qian Yuan return to Beijing and reenter the Hanlin. Xu Wei used this word as an excuse to refuse... It was really a humiliation to be with Hanlin.

"In June, Wang Zhi surrendered and started trading in mid-July. A fleet of fleets went to sea every ten days. So far, more than 30,000 taels of taxes have been collected." Xu Wei explained: "In fact, most of the maritime merchants in these fleets have contributed in advance to repair docks, military camps, Weiyuan City, warehouses, and leveling roads, so the taxes are exempted."

“Exempted?”

"Yes, until all the silver donated was deducted before, the tax silver would be paid." Xu Wei calculated, "According to Zhan Cai's statement, under normal circumstances, the tax silver should not be less than 50,000 taels per month."

"That year was 600,000 taels..." Huang Jin said happily: "Your Majesty, this is quite a lot."

"It's not bad to show off your talents." Emperor Jiajing smiled and bent his fingers on his knees, remembering what Lu Bing said two months ago that Hou Tao Mountain had gathered around and shops, as if a city was flying.

"Wang Zhi surrendered, although it was for business, the focus was on banning Japanese pirates." Xu Wei looked at the letter, "Nearly half a year since June, there have been small Japanese pirates attacking Taizhou, Jiaxing, Songjiang, Suzhou, Shaoxing and Wenzhou. Zhejiang General Yu Dayou and Deputy General Qi Jiguang fought in turn, with almost no defeat."

After putting away the letter, Xu Wei recalled it and said as many as his friends: "In this regard, the exhibition said roughly the same as the military newspaper of the Ministry of War.

In July, Yu Dayou fought twice in Shaoxing and Jiaxing, beheading more than a hundred Japanese pirates and captured more than 300 Japanese pirates.

In August, Qi Jiguang suppressed Japanese pirates in Taizhou and went out to pursue them. He was besieged by Japanese pirates and returned again with great victory.

In September, hundreds of Japanese pirates invaded Jinshan, escaped from the sea and occupied Daishan Island. Yu Dayou and Dong Bangzheng led the navy to the sea to wipe out the Japanese pirates.

In October, more than a thousand Japanese pirates plundered at the junction of Taizhou and Wenzhou. Qi Jiguang chased and suppressed Japanese pirates into Wenzhou, won three battles and three victories, beheaded 800, and the other pirates fled to Fujian."

After pausing, Xu Wei smiled and said, "In addition, Ning Shaotai general Lu Bin, guerrilla Hou Jigao, Qi Jimei, and Taizhou commander Ge Haojun went out to sea to pursue and suppress the Japanese pirates several times, and all achieved great success... With Wang Zhi, the surrendered Japanese pirates, the traces of those Japanese pirates could not escape."

Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes and listened carefully, and after a moment, he whispered: "In other words, the Japanese turmoil in Zhejiang and Susong areas have been quelled?"

Xu Wei hesitated for a moment before saying, "If Wang Zhi was not in trouble, Zhejiang and Susong areas should not be restored. Although robbers and bandits are bound to be free, they should have nothing to do with the overall situation."

"It's a combination of Zhan Cai's prediction." Emperor Jiajing sighed: "It's indeed half a year."

Half a year ago, Qian Yuan boasted in the letter that if Wang Zhi surrendered, in Zhejiang, Su Song would no longer become a Japanese pirate in half a year.

"Everyone says that his eyes are long-term..." Emperor Jiajing sighed again, "Now Fujian is... a mess!"
