Chapter 1037 Wen Yanbo's Demotion
In order to survive, Lao Wen can do anything.
His property was gone, and only his friends were left, not to mention that he was not considered a friend.
Lao Wen was full of righteous indignation and shouted loudly, trying to make Wang Ning'an angry.
But he didn't do it, Wang Ning'an was still calm and did not even react at all... At this moment, Lao Wen was almost desperate. Can't he really save it?
Wen Jifu, who had been kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head and shouted: "Your Highness, as far as I know, besides those banks, there are many chambers of commerce and guild halls in various places. They are nominally only providing convenience to merchants, but secretly accumulating huge amounts of funds and making trouble in the financial market... Prince, if you want to rectify finance, you cannot let these people go!"
After he shouted, Wen Yanbo suddenly became happy and immediately said: "Prince, we father and son are willing to commit crimes and make meritorious service. We dealt with these guys for the prince and gave us a clean financial market in the Song Dynasty!"
Hearing this, even if Wang Ning'an has a good personality, he can't help it. The surname Wen, you are really shameless!
Are we a little conscience?
You want to be a thug for me, but I am still worried that you will bite back!
Wang Ning'an made up his mind and did not give Lao Wen a chance to turn the tables.
"Brother Kuanfu, go back with your son. I still have something to do."
As he said that, Wang Ning'an got up and went back to the bedroom behind.
Wen Yanbo and his two men left behind, staring at each other with big eyes. Wen Ji took a lot of effort to get up from the ground and arrived at his father's side, full of fear, "Dad, is this matter over?"
Lao Wen shook his head, "I don't know either!"
This time Lao Wen is really unsure.
He played all the cards he could play and even told Wang Ning'an the last secret. If it didn't work, he would be dead.
Thinking of this, Lao Wen glanced at the table in front of the window, and there were four treasures of the study. He immediately ran over, picked up his pen, wrote a letter, and after repeated confirmation, he took his son and left the palace in shame.
...
"This husband Wen, I have no moral integrity at all." Chen Shunzhi said with a wry smile. He felt that the Song Dynasty had such a top-notch, especially treating him as a representative of scholars, was too embarrassing. He was so old-fashioned.
"If the integrity could be exchanged for money, Wen Kuanfu would have changed it long ago, and there would be interest!" Wang Ning'an was holding the letter left by Wen Yanbo.
"Old Chen, you said that Jun Tianling had just pushed him for a few years and then he had a counterattack. Is this true?"
Chen Shunzhi said: "Basically, the equal-field order is still maintained, but there are problems in some places... For example, in remote mountainous areas, education is not popularized, clan forces have not been cleaned up, and the pressure from the court is reduced, so naturally some people are causing trouble. In addition, it is the suburbs of neighboring cities."
"Is it because of land acquisition?"
"That's right." Chen Shunzhi said: "A few days ago, Ouyang Fa responded to a situation, which happened in Kaifeng. After the railway was operated, it was necessary to build a warehouse area and land was acquired from the people, but a conflict occurred."
Wang Ning'an was stunned, "I seem to have seen this in the newspaper. The local government has already given money according to the market price. Why are the people still not satisfied?"
"The prince is indeed given according to the market price, but it is given according to the market price of farmland!"
Wang Ning'an's eyes turned and said angrily: "I understand that according to the market price of farmland, the people received compensation, which is not enough to buy a house in the city, and they lost their land, and they have no place to gain a foothold in the countryside... But after it became a warehouse, the land price soared several times. The people were not angry, so they naturally had to make trouble!"
"The prince is wise, it is indeed so!"
Wang Ning'an smiled bitterly, "What's my name? It's wise, it's all hindsight! Wen Kuanfu is still powerful. He has long discovered that this is a way to make money. In terms of the art of making money, this old Wen can rank among the top three in the Song Dynasty." Thinking of this, Wang Ning'an looked at the letter again. There were not many things in the letter, but Lao Wen repeatedly expressed that he was willing to act as a thug for Wang Ning'an, stabilize finance, solve the disadvantages of land acquisition, and requested to give him a chance to redeem his sins... Wang Ning'an's brows gradually frowned, "Old Chen, what do you think, what's going on with Sima Jun?"
Chen Shunzhi was also stunned, thinking about how to calculate it. Wang Ning'an said: "Don't worry about my relationship with him, just say whether he is suitable to sit in the position of the magistrate?"
Chen Shunzhi immediately said: "The prince, the way to govern is to gain people. Didn't the prince say that he cannot be neglected or used because of the turbidity... Nowadays, industry and commerce are developing, cities are expanding, and there is no large-scale infrastructure. If the city is expanded, it will not be enough to accommodate so many people. Sima Jun really speaks for those people and helps them with convenience. It's nothing wrong, just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that they have to stop at the right time, and don't take too much, and, in addition, they can't let him go to the next level! If he becomes the prime minister in the future, the situation will be difficult!"
Wang Ning'an tried hard to rub his temples. His good impression of Sima Guang came from "Zizhi Tongjian". This person's talent and ability were definitely the top in the entire Song Dynasty.
However, he was conservative in his rule. In the process of opposing reforms, Wen Kuanfu and Fu Bi were the banner of the old party, while Sima Guang was the brain of the old party... After he came to power, he abolished the new law and even gave up the land that Wang Anshi, Wang Shao and others stolen from Qingtang and Xixia.
The strategic advantages of the Northwest were given to others just to deny Wang Anshi's achievements... Thinking of this, Wang Ning'an had to sigh that Sima Guang was indeed unable to take charge of the Political Affairs Hall.
But we have to use him, we have to be careful of him... After thinking about it, Wang Ning'an had to sigh!
"Wen Kuanfu, he shouldn't be defeated!"
Although he let go of his murderous intentions, Wang Ning'an would not let Lao Wen live a better life. He must give this old guy a deep lesson...
Turning around, Wang Ning'an immediately reported the case to Zhao Shu.
Zhao Shu was so angry that there was no need to say anything.
"Master, I want to kill Wen Kuanfu!"
Wang Ning'an smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, it's nothing to kill Wen Kuanfu, but he is one of the major shareholders of Xijing Bank after all, and the royal family also has shares in it. Now it is a critical moment to restore financial confidence. Killing Wen Yanbo will be unimaginable!"
These few words saved Wen Xianggong's life, and Zhao Shu gritted his teeth.
"Master, you can spare the old man's life, but I don't want to see him again, so I ask him to get out of the capital immediately and confiscate all his property. Don't leave a copper cow for him!"
"My minister, follow the order!"
...
"...The Grand Master, Taifu, Zhongshu Ling, and Prince Wen Yanbo of Qingling County, was old and weak, stupid and incompetent, unable to bear the drive... I immediately transferred to the outside world and came out to govern Youzhou Prefecture, and I admire this!"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites closed the imperial edict and said lightly: "God of Wen, please accept the imperial edict!"
Lao Wen sighed secretly that he finally saved his life and became a prefect of Youzhou. Logically speaking, Youzhou is not bad, but the problem is that it is Wang Ning'an's base camp, so it is probably not easy to make money!
I really don’t know what material Wen Kuanfu made. At this time, I still want to be greedy!
After sending off the edict, Lao Wen vented his anger, "Okay, don't be sad, pack your bags and go to Youzhou right away!"
The family members were reluctant, but there was no way to do so, so they could only nod.
They went down one after another. At this moment, suddenly there was a noise outside the mansion. In a blink of an eye, a team of troops from the front office of the Palace came, leading a young general.
He had a stern face, but he was not as easy to talk to as a civil servant.
"... The criminal Wen Yanbo, who was incompetent in his children, was in trouble, and he repeatedly disturbed the government affairs. I uphold the lessons of my ancestors and endured them for many days, but I did not change my teachings... I immediately searched the Wenfu, and all the property was confiscated. All the Wenfu family members were dismissed, and they must not hesitate!"
Even if Wen Yanbo and his son were not allowed to say anything, these soldiers immediately rushed in and pulled everyone out.
It’s true that Lao Wen’s family has a large population.
In addition to a few sons, nephews and grandchildren, there are more than 50 singers from the Western Regions alone, just wives and concubines.
My husband Wen is also a romantic figure. He is collected in the mansion. From Jiangnan to the northern part of the country, all kinds of beauties are top-notch, including piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, playing, playing, playing, playing, playing, and singing. They are all in their prime. The soldiers searched for their eyes are green!
The surname Wen, you are so shy!
Wen Yanbo had been driven outside the door, except for a few relatives surrounding him, and there were pairs of eyes staring at their house on the opposite street and behind the gate.
Seeing the beautiful women in the team being kicked out, these people couldn't help but grit their teeth!
What a good husband, what a romantic figure!
It was well copied, but it turned out that the old guy was so excessive that he should have searched his house long ago!
Everyone was taken out, and the servants gave him 100 yuan and returned to their hometown immediately. Those women, depending on the situation, could be sent home and sent back. If they had no home, they would be given a sum of money and settled down.
If you are willing to get married, you can also help find a good family.
The atmosphere of the Northern Song Dynasty was not as strict as that of the Ming and Qing Dynasties... Some families even took the initiative to send girls to Gaomen Mansion, and fucked them for three or five years. After they came out, they became very popular and often married better.
Mr. Wen, that's the best person in the world. Can the beauty he likes is worse?
Soon, all of them were settled, and the poor Wen Kuanfu became a lonely man and even a warm bed was gone!
"Wang Ning'an, you're too much!" Wen Yanbo couldn't help it. He was so angry that he trembled all over. His sons and grandsons all gritted their teeth and their eyes were red.
At this moment, a carriage appeared at the intersection of the street. Behind the carriage, there were several ox carts, not even a carport. The last two cars had just pulled the cow dung at all, and they still smelled strong.
Wang Ning'an stood on the carriage and smiled and said, "This time I went to Youzhou, I'm thousands of miles away. Brother Kuanfu, I'll give you a ox cart so that it won't be bumpy. I've also prepared steamed buns and clear water for you. Come on the road!"
Seeing this, Wen Yanbo couldn't help it, so he rushed over!
"Wang Ning'an, I am still the prefect of Youzhou and a senior official of the court. You can't treat me like this! I want a special train, I want to take the train!"
"I'm afraid this won't work." Wang Ning'an smiled and said, "If there is a new order later, you will soon be the prefect."
Wen Yanbo was very surprised. As an old magistrate, it is normal for him to serve as a prefect when he was transferred to the outside world. Can he be lower than the prefect?
Sure enough, when the next decree was sent, Wen Yanbo was demoted to the deputy envoy of the Tianxiong Army... Lao Wen had no choice but to leave Beijing with the order. On the way, Wen Yanbo kept receiving decrees, and every decree was demoted to him.
From the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi to the resettlement envoy of Yunzhou, followed by the Observation envoy, Luanzhou procurator, Shuozhou magistrate... Before and after, there were more than a dozen official positions, and finally Lao Wen got a good position!
Deputy envoy of Ruzhou Troupe Training!
In the original history, Su Shi was demoted to the deputy envoy of Huangzhou Tuanlian because of the Wutai poetry case. This time, Lao Wen, who was engaged in literary inquisition, was demoted to the deputy envoy of Ruzhou Tuanlian!
If you don’t believe it, look up and see who will the heaven spare!
History is full of dust
