Even if there are thousands of people, I will go!

This is from "Mencius: Gongsun Chou", which asked Mencius: "The Master is the minister of Qi and can do the way. Even if he is overlord, it is not different. Is this arousing one?

It is undoubtedly appropriate to quote this allusion right now.

The vested group of the Salt Administration is no longer the group of merchants without any foundation. There are royal family members, local famous families, important officials of the dynasty, etc.

If Wu Shan had not been an honest official, he could have had a share of the pie. He could have made a profit by selling salt through his younger brother Wu Huashou, thus becoming one of the profitable people of the salt administration.

These people who are either on the stage or hidden in the stage have become the profitable groups of the current salt administration. Even though they know that the court's financial difficulties and even know that the price of salt indices is too low, they are still unwilling to give out one more

Divide one millimeter.

If Wu Shan openly exposes the low income of the salt administration and opposes Xu Jie's restoration of the old system of the two Huaihe Rivers, then there are indeed tens of millions of people who stop him and will face unprecedented pressure.

Wu Shan was a Tanhualang in the 14th year of Jiajing. He has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years and has been serving as the Minister of State for six years. How can he not see the huge resistance here?

His face was very calm, he gently stroked his gray beard, looked at Lin Qingran seriously and said, "If I do this, you may be implicated, and even be tired of me, and will never be able to influence the chief minister for the rest of your life.

Location!"

The two are both teacher-student relationships, and father-in-law and son-in-law. Once Wu Shan expresses his political stance against the salt administration, Lin Weiran will be tied to this chariot together.

If they fail in this struggle, Lin Jun will definitely be suppressed by the conservatives led by Xu Jie, and his situation will be a hundred times more difficult than the failure of ordinary struggles.

There are right or wrong positions when taking sides, but if you have different positions, it is either the east wind that suppresses the west wind or the west wind that suppresses the east wind.

"******, *******!" Lin Shiran's famous saying flashed through Lin Zexu's mind, and immediately responded with a righteous attitude.

This is naturally a response to Wu Shan. Lin Qingran has never been an official who sacrificed his life for justice. The reason for this choice is, first, this is the best way to "save" Wu Shan at the moment, and second, he is actually thinking about it for his own sake.

He was twenty-one years old this year, a Jinshi in the 37th year of Jiajing, and only entered the officialdom for more than four years. Although he was already the third-rank Shuntian Prefecture Priest, his age and qualifications have become a shackle, and he cannot be compared with his age and qualifications at all.

Compared with the strong Li Chunfang and Gao Gong and others.

If Lin Qingran wants to walk in front of Li Chunfang, Gao Gong and others, and want to enter the cabinet and become ministers in front of them, then he cannot queue up honestly and needs to find another way.

This triggered a dispute between the reformists and the conservatives, which undoubtedly helped him to rise to power.

If the political dispute between the two sides is fierce, then the representative of the reformist faction will not be questioned too much about his youth and qualifications, but will focus on who changes the predicament of the Ming Dynasty and lead the Ming Dynasty to a prosperous era.

If the emperor wants to reuse the reformists, Lin Qingran would not only join the cabinet and become the prime minister, but he would even have the opportunity to compete for the throne of the chief minister.

That's true. Whether it is to protect Wu Shan, or for his personal future and political speculation, he needs to post a reformist label and follow Xu Jie to fight.

Of course, these things will only be buried in his heart. At present, he is a representative of the reformist faction who is worried about the country and the people. He wants to help Wu Shan get rid of the current troubles and persuade Wu Shan to stand up and promote the salt administration reform and the opening of the sea in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

*******,*********?

Wu Shan was not a worm in Lin Qiran's belly, so he naturally didn't know his dirty thinking. After listening to these selfless words, he said with appreciation: "Your actions today really make me admire you!"

"The son-in-law is reading the book of sages, so he must naturally think about the people of the world!" Lin Qingran touched his nose awkwardly, but replied without changing his expression.

Wu Shan reached out and picked up the teacup from the stone table, gave him a look and said seriously: "Two days later, Jiuqing's financial management meeting will be held, be mentally prepared!"

"I can do it!" Lin Yanran's face showed a serious look and nodded seriously.

If Wu Shan put forward this point of view at the financial management meeting, the court will inevitably cause trouble. While sounding the call for the reformists to assemble, it will also sound the struggle with Xu Jie.

Wu Shan took a sip of tea, looked up at the blue sky, and saw a wild goose flying past it, and asked seriously: "How do you think history books will criticize me!"

"My father-in-law, how do you think history books will judge Master Yan? How will Master Xu judge Master Xu?" Lin Qingran did not answer positively, but responded implicitly.

Wu Shan immediately understood that if they win, they will naturally be famous ministers, and if they fail, they will naturally be heretics of treacherous ministers. He shook his head with his lips, but he looked at Lin Qingran helplessly.

He has always been a regular person in the officialdom, and is undoubtedly a role model for his ministers. But his fate has made people feel bad. Now he has convinced his son-in-law and embarked on a path he had never thought about before.

However, he did not feel regretful. After reading the Song Dynasty's classics and understanding the situation of opening the sea in Guangdong, he knew that what his son-in-law said was not wrong, and this was a good recipe for saving the Ming Dynasty.

Although this road is destined to be difficult, there will be many obstacles, and even he will fall to pieces, he is already determined. As the saying goes: *******, *******.

Even if he fails, as long as he can open up the situation, Lin Qingran and others will definitely follow this path, and there will always be a day of success, which will allow the Ming Dynasty to embark on the road to prosperity and strength.

The next day, it was another sunny day.

In the capital, no matter how undercurrents the court is, the lives of the people here always look calm and unpredictable, and the streets here show the prosperity of the capital everywhere.

Especially after Lin Weiran took office, he not only improved the appearance of the Shuntian Prefecture Constable, but also brought a Hu Niu who liked to preside over justice, which made the public security in the capital reach its best period.

Since being allowed to run around, Hu Niu's active range has covered the entire city of Beijing. She always likes to run to the outer city if she has something to do, which makes those gangsters frightened.

But today is a little different. Li Zhai’s family died of illness at Mingshifang. His son, who was doing business abroad, died of a bad life. There were only a few women left in the huge house to manage the house.

Old Mrs. Li took the initiative to find Hu Niu and solemnly handed a calligraphy and painting to Hu Niu and begged: "I heard that the emperor loves calligraphy. This is the original work of Wang Shusheng that my ancestor of the Li family was fortunate. Please present it to the emperor for my Li family!"

"Why are you looking for me?" Hu Niu asked with a frown and a clever voice in confusion.

Old Mrs. Li looked at Hu Niu's bright eyes and said seriously: "The old woman can't trust those officials! Please offer treasures to the emperor for the sake of my orphan and widowed mother of the Li family!"

"Okay! I'll help you get it to the palace and offer it to the emperor!" Hu Niu took the calligraphy and painting, and nodded immediately and agreed.
