Chapter 1364
After discussing the matters related to the replacement of relief, Lin Xu asked another question: "Master Liu, if silk is woven in the future, where will the silk be handed over? Is it the governor's office or the weaving bureau?"
"It is better to hand it over to the Weaving Bureau. This business with the Nanyang merchants was originally negotiated in the name of the Weaving Bureau. The deposit has also been handed over to the Weaving Bureau, so these silks have to be purchased by the Weaving Bureau and then sold to
Nanyang businessman."
Liu Mingju explained.
"What about Wang Hai? Is he still the eunuch in charge of the Weaving Bureau?"
"No, he resigned from the post of eunuch in charge of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and returned to the palace to serve."
After hearing this answer, Lin Xu couldn't help but feel very ironic!
Although Wang Hai was not directly involved in the destruction of embankments and flooded fields, he was one of the initiators. Song Chaoshan and Feng Wenxi, two bastards, had already been convicted, but Wang Hai had only resigned from his position as the eunuch in charge of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau.
Return to the palace and continue serving!
In other words, Wang Hai basically escaped without any punishment!
At this time, Liu Mingju continued: "By the way, Eunuch Wang also asked me to tell you something: He owes you a favor, and he will definitely pay it back to you if there is an opportunity in the future."
"What favor does he owe me?"
"You stopped Feng Wenxi from buying land under the name of Weaving Bureau! If you hadn't stopped it, once Feng Wenxi really bought the land under the name of Weaving Bureau, it would be equivalent to dragging the palace down, which would be a great loss.
The emperor’s face! When the time comes, not to mention Wang Hai will die to apologize, even the Chief of Ceremonies and the cabinet will have their lives in danger!"
"So serious?"
Lin Xu was a little surprised!
Although he had guessed before that if Feng Wenxi really bought the land under the name of the Manufacturing Bureau, then Wang Hai would definitely take the blame, but he did not expect that this matter would actually involve the Secretary of Ceremony and the cabinet. This is a big deal.
Ning’s two most powerful organizations!
"Yes, it is so serious. Therefore, this time, not only Wang Hai owes you a favor, but also the Supervisor of Ceremonies and the Cabinet owe you a favor. The reason why Wang Hai was able to escape unscathed is thanks to you stopping Feng Wenxi, otherwise
, Wang Hai has a few heads and it’s not enough to chop him off.”
Liu Mingju said with a playful smile.
After hearing these words, Lin Xu's mouth turned into a wry smile again.
He only wanted to let Wang Hai get the punishment he deserved, but he didn't expect that Wang Hai was able to escape unharmed in the end, but it was because of his help!
What an irony! What a huge irony!
After sighing secretly, Lin Xu asked again: "Excuse me, Mr. Liu, who is in charge of the Weaving Bureau now?"
"Currently, the palace has not sent a new eunuch in charge. According to the imperial court's wishes, I will temporarily act as the acting director of the Weaving Bureau."
"I understand, Mr. Liu has taken on all the burdens of Jiangsu! No matter what happens in the future, I will just report to you directly."
Lin Xu said with a smile.
He was quite happy with this arrangement by the court. It was much more comfortable to deal with Liu Mingju than with a dead eunuch.
"Haha, just follow your plan and I will give you my full support!"
Liu Mingju also said with a smile.
...
After reaching an agreement with Liu Mingju, Lin Xu immediately went to the Grand Canal Wharf, because he first needed to inspect hundreds of ships of grain and strictly manage them to ensure that nothing went wrong with the grain.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the pier, he saw many people in front of him, making a lot of noise!
"Qingyu, go see what's going on!"
Lin Xu ordered.
Chen Qingyu took the order and left, but soon returned: "Sir, Song Wentang and many businessmen are making trouble. They also gathered many thugs to take away the one hundred ships of grain they raised!"
"Pull the food away? What a wonderful idea!"
