Chapter 651 Two Zhejiang
To be fair, Qian Yuan cared for his family very much, and his reputation first became famous because of his filial piety. However, the Qian clan and Qian Yuan's family were too stalemate, so Qian Yuan set up his own business and founded the Qingpu Hall.
Because of this incident, the Censor of the Nanjing Censorate once impeached Qian Yuan.
As Tan Lun saw with his own eyes, Qian Yuan and his wife had deep affection with each other, but Qian Yuan had no respect for Xu Jie in private, and had much contempt for Xu Fan, his father-in-law, and even more humiliated Xu Jie's confidant Zhao Zhenji several times.
Tan Lun really doesn't think that he can be respected and given up on Qian Yuan's uncle... In the southeast, Hu Zongxian has gone, and no one has a heavier weight than Qian Yuan, whether in the southeast civil and military officials, scholars and people, or in the minds of hundreds of officials in the court and even His Majesty.
So, Tan Lun made full preparations today.
However, Tan Lun only guessed half of it.
Qian Yuan does not give in because of his in-laws, but he can give in to Tan Lun... not only because Tan Lun has his name in history, but also because he has seen what Tan Lun does with his own eyes.
Thirty-two years ago, Ligang had a strong sea trade and merchants gathered, but at that time, Taizhou was already suffering from Japanese disasters. Within two years, four prefects and seven county magistrates were replaced. Japanese pirates were rampant so that all Taizhou was suffering from Japanese disasters. Tan Lun, who was the doctor of the Fangsi Department of the Ministry of War at Nanjing, resolutely took office.
By searching and selecting generals, recruiting troops to form an army, or holding on to the city or going to sea to raid, Tan Lun won the respect of all Taizhou people and wealthy families.
Tan Lun is not a greedy person, but he is not a greedy person. The government office often spends money in the army. In the 33rd year of Jiajing, Japanese pirates siege Taizhou, defeated Huangyan, and attacked Linhai. Tan Lun rushed to the battlefield naked, wearing eight wounds and never retreated, and tried hard to protect the city. He was seriously injured after the war. The wealthy people in the city raised silver to set up the Tan Gong Temple outside Linhai City, and the incense has been flourishing to this day.
If we only talk about the reputation in Taizhou, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, Lu Bin, and Hou Jigao, who had once stationed in Taizhou, would be nothing more than Tan Lun, and even if Qian Yuan was added, it would not be enough.
It is even more rare that Tan Lun is good at tactics, skilled in military tactics, and advocated defending the enemy at sea. He was the few officials who built warships to attack the Japanese during the southeast's anti-Japanese war.
If Tang Shunzhi had not been in charge of the business, Qian Yuan had no intention of finding Yan Dang. Tan Lun was the one who ranked behind Tang Shun on the list.
Qian Yuan poured tea himself and said with a smile: "Next year's Mingqian Longjing... will rely on my uncle."
"You are picky!" Tan Lun snorted, "Tang Kekuan Mu's aura is deep. This time, Hu Ruzhen has not transferred him to Jiangxi, so it would be fine. Jiaxing and Shaoxing still need heavy troops to guard the two places, Lu Bin, Hou Jigao, Yang Wen, Yuepuhe..."
Putting the teacup gently in front of Tan Lun, Qian Yuan chuckled and said, "This cabinet discussion will lead my uncle to take over as the governor of Zhejiang. The six ministries Zhao Wenhua and Li'an Gong all agree... Li'an Gong has made a good plan."
Tan Lun couldn't help but smile and said, "It's not because Ningbo is too fat. If His Majesty had not trusted him and Yan Fenyi, Xu Huating's hand would have reached in long ago."
Qian Yuan laughed, "It was said that it was a cabinet collaborative discussion, but in fact, Your Majesty personally asked, Yan Fen should recommend his uncle. His Majesty personally criticized the news after a while, saying that Tan Zili was both civil and military, and became the governor of Zhejiang."
After looking at Tan Lun who was silent, Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Last year, the court recommended the governor of Fujian. His Majesty asked for the literary master. The southeast is a place where people are outstanding by their talents."
"Wen Chang replied that the governor of Zhejiang, Hu Ruzhen, and the governor of Zhejiang, Wu Weixi, followed by these two people, led by Taizhou prefect Tan Zili, the military commander of Suzhou, the Dao King Chonggu, and the governor of Ningbo, Tang Jingchuan, followed."
Tan Lun's face was tense tightly, and after a while, she sighed softly, "Brother Yuan said nothing."
From "Zhancai" to "Brother Yuan", Tan Lun was helpless. His nephew had already said something to death and was nakedly cut it open... It was Xu Wei who handed the words in front of Emperor Jiajing. Your Majesty was deeply impressed by you, Tan Lun, and Xu Wei was placed by Qian Yuan next to Emperor Jiajing in Xiyuan.
Even Yan Fenyi recommends you Tan Lun, because Qian Yuan is the factor... After all, Qian Yuan has a greater influence on Emperor Jiajing.
To be honest, by talent, Tan Lun deserves his reputation as governor of Zhejiang, but by qualifications, Tan Lun is not the only choice... After all, the Japanese treason in Zhejiang has gradually subsided, and it is just a civil governance. The candidates that can be selected are not as harsh as the governor of Jiangxi and Fujian.
Qian Yuan was telling Tan Lun what he said, "We can't get along."
"The governor of Zhejiang Province was abolished and the governor was in charge of Zhejiang Province. In the eyes of his nephew, his uncle is really the most suitable candidate." Qian Yuan stood up and walked seriously and said seriously: "It is not because of his uncle and nephew, nor because of his Zhenhai, but because of his war."
"As my uncle said, Hu Ruzhen, Wu Weixi entered Fujian and Jiangxi, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, Yu Dayou, and Liu Xian have all left Zhejiang. In my uncle's opinion, are there any Japanese attacks in both Zhejiang?"
Tan Lun thought for a moment and shook his head, "I guess there will be no more attacks on the Japanese pirates, but I am afraid that the small pirates will not be cut off. Two months ago, you inspected Ningbo and Taizhou and set up a fort at the beach to warn them. This is why."
"Yes, unlike Fujian, there are too many prefectures along the coast of Zhejiang Province. Jiaxing, Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Ningbo, Taizhou and Wenzhou are all along the coast. This is also one of the reasons why the Japanese invasion in the two Zhejiangs were the worst in the past few years." Qian Yuan talked happily, "Yu Long Qi Hu, and Wang Zhilai surrendered, the Japanese invasion in the two Zhejiangs gradually subsided..."
"You have to add money to behead your head!"
Qian Yuan smiled, "But Yu Long and Qi Hu have left Zhejiang. Have you always relied on Wang Wufeng?"
"Although Wang Zhi helped me several times, lost to Qi Jimei's troops, and went south to Fujian, it was not a long-term solution."
"Even if the city was established in Ningbo and there would be no Japanese attacks in Fujian and Guangdong?"
"The so-called Japanese attacks not only refer to Japanese people, but also to Westerners who are impersonating names in Ming people." Qian Yuan explained: "After June this year, more than ten sea boats arrive in Zhenhai every month, all of which are...Folang Ji people."
In fact, there are quite a variety of ships coming, including Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, and British.
"If there is no large army garrison, if there is no protection from the navy, the business matter will inevitably be in trouble again." Qian Yuan whispered: "Small Japanese sects are safe. If the Japanese pirates invade Ningbo and Taizhou, everything will be over. There will be impeachment in the court. Business is aborted, and the sea ban is also a water moon in the mirror."
"Who elsewhere is the governor of Zhejiang? Who else can I do without my uncle?"
Tan Lun nodded slightly and stared at Qian Yuan and said, "So, you have transferred Ningbo Prefecture Tax Bank to recruit craftsmen from various places in Nanjing, Tongzhou and Yangzhou to build many sea boats?"
"Not bad." Qian Yuan said in a deep voice: "First, the construction of sea ships cannot be stopped, but they can be slowed down slightly. Second, if you recruit troops again, the coastal areas must be heavily stationed, especially Ningbo and Taizhou."
Qian Yuan was really worried. Western Maritime Business frequently came to Ningbo to trade, but you should know that these guys... both merchants and thieves are all people who lick blood from the knife. Typical bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and not showing their real strength, they know what will happen.
"Recruiting troops again?" Tan Lun was a little hesitant.
Qian Yuan stretched out his finger, "I discussed with the Ministry of Revenue that Ningbo Prefecture divided the tax and silver into 20% of the tax and silver. First, establish rules. If there is no tax and silver in the local area, there will be many obstacles. Second, purchase grain and store food to prevent grain shortages. Third, build sea ships to defend the enemy from the country, and fourth, recruit new soldiers to form an army."
"Now Ge Hao has over 100 warships under his command, and there are many big blessing ships. It is enough in the short term. Ningbo government offices purchase grain and store them. Dozens of granaries in Ningbo and Shaoxing are full, so it is feasible to recruit troops from tax banks."
Tan Lun rubbed his temples. He originally wanted to talk about military force allocation today, but his nephew drew a big picture to talk about it...
Tan Lun sighed, "But the Japanese treason in Zhejiang gradually subsided, and I was afraid that there would be many slander in the court and I could not raise thieves..."
"Raising the thief to be respectful?" Qian Yuan smiled and said, "That is the way to die. The new army is prone to the name of a local brave man. As for the navy... when King Yu ascends the throne, his nephew has his own ideas."
"Then you just do it!" Tan Lun was stunned for a while and said unhappily: "The tax and silver are all in Ningbo Prefecture and Zhenhai County. There is no need for a governor to recruit soldiers in the name of a village bravery."
Qian Yuan added a cup of hot tea and said with a smile: "Yang Wen is not good at fighting, Lu Bin is just a landslide..."
"Did you like Ge Hao?" Tan Lun smiled bitterly: "I remember you have a good relationship with him."
"Ge Hao was the uncle who was personally pulled up, and he didn't speak, so he was afraid he would not follow everything." Qian Yuan actually found a reason casually.
Qian Yuan already had plans to return to Beijing, and Tan Lun and Tang Shunzhi were the key figures in deciding whether the trade was going smoothly. If they didn't tell me about it, how could they win the trust of Tan Lun?
Tan Lun couldn't help but remember that in Zhenhai County, Ningbo Prefecture, he was surprised to find that Wang Zhi came to surrender and that the business was actually under the charge of his deputy Tang Shunzhi.
At that time, Tang Shunzhi said in private that he would show his talents, have profound plans, use his power and use his best to make full use of things.
