Chapter six hundred and seventy-fifth of the two benefits
Zhenhai, Qianjia Restaurant at the top floor.
Huang Maoguan rubbed his eyebrows tiredly. It has been two months since he went south. All things have been done. Sweet potatoes and potatoes will be transported to Liaodong, Shanxi, Shandong and other places for trial planting after the New Year. The business can ensure that the Ministry of Revenue will earn two million silver every year in addition to the eight major banknotes.
Two million taels of silver, this is a number that allows the Ministry of Revenue to stand up straight. Huang Maoguan couldn't help but cough twice, afraid that his superior Fang Du would want to tug his subordinate again, and he would make trouble endlessly.
In the 29th year of Jiajing, the stingy Emperor Jiajing helped to transfer silver from the inner transportation warehouse after the Gengxu Rebellion. In the following years, Emperor Jiajing always thought about collecting the debt from the Ministry of Revenue Taicang... This was why "the upper part used a piece of paper to collect silver from Taicang."
Immediately afterwards, the Japanese in the southeast were invaded, and several provinces were entrusted to intercept salt taxes. Altan went south almost every year to harass him several times. Fang Dun, the Minister of Revenue, wrote a letter to request retirement five times a year, which made Emperor Jiajing quieter... The main reason was that there was no silver in the Taicang warehouse, and even mice had to go out to beg for food.
But since the tax silver entered Beijing last year, the game between Emperor Jiajing and the Ministry of Revenue began again. Even though Qian Yuan left an outlet in the southeast and tinkered with a so-called "royal fleet", Emperor Jiajing still refused to give up.
Looking at the snowflakes floating outside, Huang Maoguan signaled Chen Younian not to cover the window, "He is from Yuyao. He has been traveling south for a long time and has not returned to his hometown to check it out?"
After pondering for a while, Huang Maoguan said softly: "Detect your trip back to Beijing the next day. You can take a step forward when you arrive."
Huang Maoguan appreciated Chen Younian very much. After all, Yuyao is not far away. Besides, according to the time, it should be the end of the year when returning to Beijing. All six ministries have been released, and memorials about sweet potatoes and potatoes have long been sent back to Beijing.
"Walking south for national affairs, you should have no selfless thoughts." Chen Younian said respectfully: "The officials dare not do their own things."
"I passed by my house but didn't enter." Huang Maoguan stood up and smiled, "I have passed the provincial examination in the 16th year of Jiajing. I set off for Beijing to take the exam at the end of the year. I once paid a visit to Mr. Luo Feng in Yongjia..."
Speaking of this, Huang Maoguan stopped and stared out of the window in a daze. He was stunned for a moment.
Chen Younian did not interrupt. He knew that the other party's words, Luo Fenggong, was the former chief minister of the cabinet who was promoted due to the great etiquette incident.
In the early stage of Jiajing Middle School, the civil servant group was extremely repulsive of Zhang Cong, but now the wind direction has changed drastically. Everyone believes that Zhang Cong can at least be called a "capable minister" because there is the comparison of Yan Song behind it.
"The next year, I was lucky enough to be on the list, going up and down, running east and west, seeing that I was as eloquent as Xia Guixi, and I was as wise as Kunshan. I was as willing to do my own things for national affairs as Shuangjiang Gong. I also saw that Altan did not dare to attack the border like Zengzi Chong. I was good at making power and planning as strict as being, and smart and practical as Li'an Gong."
Huang Maoguan shook his head, looked back and smiled, "Dengzhi, Wenhe, Zizhi's talent, and all the talents of all the people are also a temporary choice."
"In the literature, Yu Chen, Duanfu, Bo Mao, and Chaoyang have their own strengths, and they all capture the essence of the Bingchen Academy."
Chen Younian bowed and said, "Mr. Lin Yuan is over-reputable."
"It's not an exaggeration." Huang Maoguan raised his hand calmly, "Some people in the capital say that no matter what his heart is, the vision of showing off his talents is really admirable. Everyone in Suiyuan is full of heroes."
"There are all juniors in Suiyuan, with shallow knowledge and little experience, so they still need guidance from elders."
"Zhan Cai spoke, and it was like a long time in the officialdom." Huang Maoguan laughed and said, "Is this a good thing to learn?"
Chen Younian smiled with a purse, "As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black."
Huang Maoguan laughed and nodded repeatedly, "This time he went south and made a contribution to the success of the election. After the next year's imperial examination, he will be selected as a new Jinshi, and he can be promoted to the Yuanwailang."
Chen Younian gave a gift, picked up the wine pot and poured the wine, raised his glass and drank it all.
Huang Maoguan is not biased in his political position. If he is biased, he is following his superior, Fang Dun, the Minister of Revenue.
Huang Maoguan himself also highly agreed with Fang Dun's proposal to open a sea ban to trade, and promoted Chen Younian to a Ministry of Revenue... This means that Huang Maoguan handed over Ningbo Qinglisi to Chen Younian, who is now in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, and is unable to nominally manage Qinglisisi.
But hidden under these words was Suiyuan spreading his arms and Huang Maoguan threw himself into it...at least half of Huang Maoguan, at least for a period of time.
The length of time depends on when Fang Dun, the Minister of Revenue, retired.
Huang Maoguan saw it very clearly that the tax and silver of the Ministry of Revenue was 2 million taels per year, which means that without Qian Yuan’s support, no one could stand firm in the position of Minister of Revenue.
Of course, Qian Yuan does not have the ability to decide who can sit in this position, but after witnessing Qian Yuan's weight in the southeast with his own eyes, Huang Maoguan knew that Qian Yuan has the ability to decide who can't sit in this position... In other words, it may not be possible to say it, and it may not be possible to say it will not be possible to succeed.
Among the six ministers, the most important one is not the Minister of Revenue, but the one with the strongest stability is the Minister of Revenue... On the one hand, it requires relatively professional abilities, but on the other hand, after all, ordinary officials are unwilling to interfere in this mess.
Once Fang Dun retires, the most likely person to succeed him is two people, one is Huang Maoguan, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the other is Ma Peng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in Nanjing.
This time he went south, Huang Maoguan thought in his mind that Fang Dun could last for a few years, but once Yan Song retired and Xu Jie would take office... he would have no chance.
The reason is very simple. Ma Peng was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing and the same year as Xu Jie.
Therefore, Huang Maoguan decided to choose Qian Yuan, Gao Gong behind Qian Yuan and King Yu behind Gao Gong.
This is the only way.
In addition, many censors in Beijing have launched a group of people to impeach Qian Yuan this year, and Huang Maoguan was pulled apart in public and almost lost his lord... In this regard, Huang Maoguan and Suiyuan also have a friendship.
So when he went south, Huang Maoguan was very polite to Chen Younian, Sun Ying, and Lu Yipeng, and praised Qian Yuan for many more.
Chen Younian's analysis of Qian Yuan last night appeared in his mind, and many explanations, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was indeed a deal that would benefit both parties.
Huang Maoguan had something to ask for, but Qian Yuan also hoped that an official who realized the importance of opening a maritime ban on trade would be appointed as the Minister of Revenue.
"The Qian Family Restaurant is indeed well-known." Huang Maoguan said with a smile: "This time I returned to Beijing, it happened that the Qian Family Restaurant in Beijing was in the New Year..."
"Mr. Lin Yuan was joking." Chen Younian smiled and said, "Just leave the account."
"Hahaha, that child is very happy this year. It is said that even the eldest son of the cabinet is not allowed to be entrusted in the restaurant!"
Chen Younian couldn't help laughing. Xu Fan went to Beijing in the 32nd year of Jiajing, and was once as famous as Yan Shifan... After all, his identities were not much different, although Xu Fan was called Yan Shifan Shifan.
But since Qian Yuan entered Beijing, Xu Fan has become a joke.
At this time, Huang Maoguan, who was watching the snow by the window, exclaimed, "Is that Zhan Cai?"
Chen Younian leaned his head and looked carefully. A green horse galloped past the wind and snow, followed by more than a dozen dark horses.
"Since the resignation of Jingchuan Gong wrote the memorial to ask for retirement, Zhan Cai worked hard every day and did not dare to say it was hard." Chen Younian chuckled: "You must know that Zhan Cai is a night owl."
"Mr. Jingchuan is too harsh." Huang Maoguan shook his head slightly, "Some people are good at generals and soldiers, while others are good at generals."
"Haha, Mr. Lin Yuan can be said to be a confidant of Zhan Tsai!"
"Shaancai said the same?"
Chen Younian nodded with a smile, "It's a pity that Jingchuan Duke is the most lazy person who doesn't like Zhan Cai. He can save Zhan Cai. Only Pingquan Duke and Jingchuan Duke are the only ones in the world."
Huang Maoguan also nodded in agreement. The Southeastern weight is as heavy as Hu Ruzhen and his in-laws and elders are as good as Tan Zili, and they cannot surrender to Qian Yuan.
