Chapter 2770

Although Zhu Zian almost guessed Li Qingyang's parentage before, he didn't dare to ask him face to face in the yamen. It was only now that he got confirmation from Ning Zijing.

However, Zhu Zian was not happy at all that he had guessed correctly. Thinking that more than 20 years ago, hundreds of Jinyiwei families took the initiative to join Haihan, this was really not something that made him happy.

They were the famous Jin Yiwei, the bodyguards and soldiers personally commanded by the emperor. They were all elites in the military, and they were one of the most talented people among them. Their status and status were far beyond that of ordinary officials. How could they give up everything and join the army at that time?

For the prosperous Haihan, Zhu Zian really couldn't figure out this choice.

Although he couldn't understand the key, Zhu Zian still kept his sense and did not ask further. He had been in Haihan for so long, and he already knew that the Security Department was equivalent to Haihan's Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and that Li Qingyang had rebelled against the country and surrendered to the enemy.

, the process of joining the Haihan Security Department must be confidential. You don't dare to inquire about this kind of thing casually, and the young officials present may not have been born when the incident occurred, and they may not know the inside story of that year.

However, the Haihan Security Department instigated the rebellion of people like Li Qingyang and appointed him to be responsible for intelligence work against the Ming Dynasty. This arrangement undoubtedly greatly enriched Haihan's means of dealing with the Ming Dynasty. Ning Zijing said that Li Qingyang "made outstanding contributions during his service in Haihan"

”, one can imagine where these credits come from.

Although Zhu Zian is not familiar with the field of security intelligence, he can still think of the role Li Qingyang played in the process. I don’t know how many spies from the Ming Dynasty have been quietly hiding in Haihan over the years, and how many Haihan’s spies have been behind him.

Under his command, he successfully lurked and assisted Haihan in encroaching on the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Given the ebb and flow of the situation, it is no wonder that the intelligence agencies of the Ming Dynasty did not perform well in the process of curbing Haihan's expansion.

Although Zhu Zian did not make a sound, his frown revealed his inner feelings. Tao Hongfang, who was sitting opposite, noticed this detail and persuaded with a smile: "Zian, the competition between Ming Dynasty and our country has been decided.

"Yes, there is no need to worry about the past. Besides, one or two people can't control the general trend of the world. Without Li Qingyang, there will still be Zhang Qingyang and Wang Qingyang."

Shi Chengwu also solemnly said: "Perhaps Li Qingyang at that time, just like you at this moment, just made a choice that was beneficial to himself. It is not a fault to follow the trend of the times. I believe that future generations will also treat such a choice

Give a positive review.”

Zhu Zian said apologetically: "You two brothers are right, I am too narrow-minded. The general trend of the world has been decided, and it will not be beneficial to anyone to go back to the details of these decades ago. We should really let go of it earlier.

"

Ha Jianyi asked: "Zi'an, is there anything wrong with your boss's attitude toward you?"

Zhu Zian responded: "Master Li has a humble attitude and patiently pointed out the unclear points I raised. There is nothing inappropriate."

Ha Jianyi clapped his hands and said: "That's okay! If he is afraid of your identity, deliberately embarrasses you, or deliberately neglects you, then that is his problem, and brother will definitely come forward to seek justice for you. Since there is no

In these situations, don’t worry too much.”

Although Ha Jianyi was a rough man, his words were straightforward and reasonable, and he showed his attitude of supporting Zhu Zian. This made Zhu Zian feel much better, and he quickly handed over his hand and thanked him.

Ning Zijing said: "This Mr. Li is known for his meticulous thinking and fair dealings. He will not deliberately embarrass you. Moreover, he has rich experience in handling Ming affairs. Zian, if you don't understand something, you can really ask him more." Ask for advice.”

Zhu Zian said: "Speaking of asking for advice, I am also unclear about something. Although I have asked Mr. Li before, I am really stupid and cannot fully understand his instructions. If you brothers can help me clarify my doubts, Zhu will be very grateful. .”

Tao Hongfang said curiously: "Please tell me and listen. If you have any questions, we can all work together to figure it out."

Zhu Zian then recounted the contents of the first dossier he reviewed after taking office, but he was very careful to omit the specific information about Cao Kun and others. This was not because he was worried about the leaks of the few people present, but I don’t want these colleagues to think that I don’t have enough professionalism and don’t even understand the basic principles of confidentiality regulations.

Shi Chengwu was the first to express his position: "It's not that we don't want to take care of it, it's just that we can't take care of it. As Mr. Li told you, water transportation matters involve too much territory, and coordination and management are quite troublesome, so there is no direct direct management in the Donghai Region for the time being. Intervene.”

Shi Chengwu then explained the specific situation to everyone. This inland water transport starts from Hangzhou Prefecture in the south and ends at Shuntian Prefecture in the north. It runs through the five major water systems of the Haihe River, the Yellow River, the Huaihe River, the Yangtze River, and the Qiantang River. The navigable mileage is more than 2,000 miles. Objectively, There is indeed a need for a professional government agency to manage this transportation system.

At present, only some flight sections in Zhejiang and Shandong are within the area directly controlled by Haihan. There are still most flight sections outside Haihan's control and must rely on the dispatch and guarantee of the Caofu Yamen. Even if Haihan wants to take over water transportation, it will still be severely restricted by geography, and acting rashly may even hinder the operation of the entire water transportation system.

Once the water transportation is suspended, it means that the cheap logistics system connecting the north and the south will be interrupted. The cost and time of transporting materials across regions will increase sharply, which will affect social stability. Maintaining the operation of the water transportation system is a highly professional job. If Haihan wants to replace the old system, it cannot be solved by sending a few officials to sit in the Caoyun Yamen.

Therefore, even if various shortcomings in the water transportation system have begun to be exposed in this special historical stage, and have even affected the original normal operation, Haihan still did not take any intervention measures. This attitude is actually very similar to that of the Ming Dynasty. Since the house If it hasn't collapsed yet, then just turn a blind eye and live there.

Shi Chengwu's explanation of the status of the water transport system was much more detailed than Li Qingyang's. After listening to this, Zhu Zian also solved many questions in his mind.

But when he heard what Shi Chengwu meant, Haihan didn't seem to have a good way to deal with the water transportation system. He couldn't help but ask: "Water transportation is the lifeblood of the country, but now it has become a pus-filled wound. If no measures are taken, With radical cure, the wound will reach deep into the internal organs sooner or later. By then, it may be too late to treat it! Even if it can be cured, it will definitely break the bones and muscles, so why not take action earlier?"

Shi Chengwu raised his hand and held out two fingers and said: "Two reasons. First, our country currently has more problems that need to be dealt with urgently, and the priority of water transportation is not that high. Second, it is not that we have done nothing in this regard, but Some of the countermeasures taken so far have not yet shown results."
