Hangzhou Prefecture began to work hard, and the officials up and down had already thrown off their arms, and they had the courage to make the sun and moon change the sky. The other prefectures took a look, thought about it, felt something was wrong, and quickly followed. (Literature) museum)

Anyone who is in an official position has a keen sense of smell. If there is any slight disturbance, he can immediately smell something unusual. Just look at the magistrate Wang who works so hard, and after a little inquiry, plus the chief envoy and the punishment department. The Xuezheng Yamen followed suit one after another, and even a fool knew what was going on. If he didn't follow up quickly at this time, would he be waiting for others to take care of him?

Many officials had to go to the countryside in sedan chairs to supervise river work and land clearing. Ningbo Prefecture was even more outrageous, actually caring about the Textile Bureau.

In the past, officials had to avoid suspicion. After all, it was better not to get in the way of the workshop, so as not to be accused of chasing fish and smell. But now, the direction of the wind has changed, and it is impossible not to show up.

Ningbo's Weaving Bureau is located in Haiyan Township, thirty miles east of Ningbo. Haiyan Township is very famous. It is a peninsula, far away from Zhoushan Island and Shuangyu Port. Here, the port is already under construction, with countless giant trees and stones. It was transported here by sea, and tens of thousands of people started working here.

Not only here, but also Zhoushan Island not far from here has also begun to break ground. The area of ​​Zhoushan Island is not small, equivalent to the size of a county. It is next to Shuangyu Port. After all, the area of ​​Shuangyu Port is limited. Now the Sea Route Appeasement Envoy plans to set up an office on Zhoushan Island and build a port. In the future, a large amount of trade will nominally be conducted at Shuangyu Port, but in the future, Zhoushan Island will be the real center.

The Ming Dynasty did not pay much attention to this island. Even in history, it was once Changguo County, but in the early Ming Dynasty. Although there was still a county here, there have been few people active. Now, it is more like a virgin land, because It is close to the mainland, so Japanese pirates did not dare to roam here in the past, and because of the sea ban, this island is almost uninhabited. This large island with an area of ​​nearly 400 miles is now undergoing a lot of construction.

The Weaving Bureau is just opposite this island, and it only takes one hour by water to reach the port of Zhoushan Island from Ningbo's port. If you go to Shuangyu Port, it takes three hours.

The land here had already been purchased by Ruyi Fang. Now that a large number of merchants have taken over, they have purchased a large amount of land from Ruyi Fang. Around the Weaving Bureau, they have also begun to break ground and build workshops one after another. After all, only one Weaving Bureau can rely on The business is impossible to complete. No matter how large it is, it cannot cover all the needs of the sea route to appease the envoys. What everyone is looking at now is exports. In addition, once the Weaving Bureau is here, there will be many opportunities in the future. Merchants who want to buy silk will pick their goods here. Setting up the workshop here has excellent expectations.

Nowadays, many merchants have begun to recruit workers. People are needed almost everywhere, whether they are civil engineering craftsmen, strong men, or craftsmen who can dye cloth or weave in the future are also in extremely short supply.

Over at the port, a large number of people are being recruited. Now many people have heard about it, and the population has increased dramatically. In just a few months, it has reached as many as one hundred thousand.

The officials of Ningbo Prefecture looked at it for a long time, but they didn't see anything special. They just felt that the place suddenly became lively, and the flow of people was not as good as the Fucheng. They couldn't help but secretly sighed. It was just that their own thinking made it difficult to understand the affairs in front of them, and they could only slow down. Slow digestion accepted.

At the same time, two memorials arrived in the capital together. One was from the prefect of Hangzhou, while the other was a secret edict written by Xu Qian and entered the palace directly.

The two memorials arrived at almost the same time, but with different purposes. At this time, Yang Yiqing had officially entered the cabinet. This was naturally the result of a compromise. However, Emperor Jiajing was becoming more and more powerful and had gradually become somewhat of an emperor.

Yang Tinghe sometimes had to stay away, so whether Yang Yiqing entered the cabinet or not did not seem to have any impact on Jiajing.

At this time, a memorial was placed on Yang Tinghe's desk. Yang Tinghe's eyes were dim, he stroked his beard and said nothing, and then said: "Sui'an, come and take a look at this memorial."

Yang Yiqing nodded, took the memorial and read it, and then said angrily: "The inspector is actually dead. What's the truth? The inspector is an imperial envoy. This Xu Qian is really bold."

Yang Tinghe said slowly: "The key here is whether Zhou Chang is guilty of an unpardonable crime. If he is really guilty of an unpardonable crime, then the matter will be difficult to say."

Yang Yiqing said: "If you want to impose a crime, why bother?"

Yang Tinghe shook his head: "That's what I said, but in my opinion, this crime is still there. Who can withstand the investigation? If the investigation has solid evidence, Xu Qian will be on his own. Besides, it's not him.

Those who were beaten to death were ordinary people who were filled with righteous indignation. It is impossible to know who these people are. The law does not punish the people. How can they search for people who are searching for people in Jiangnan?"

Yang Yiqing squinted his eyes: "This Xu Qian is very shrewd. In this case, it's like he beat someone to death, but he has no responsibility at all?"

Yang Tinghe said calmly: "It stands to reason that the responsibility is not small. After all, he is the governor. How can he take someone away? But the problem is that if other governors do this, the responsibility is not small. But when it comes to him, now there are people in the palace

He has the support of the scholars and the people, and he is about to be punished with this crime. Jiangnan will be shaken by then. You read the memorial from the governor of Jiangxi a few days ago. There is also a commotion in Jiangxi, and everyone is praising the New Deal, not just Jiangxi.

, many provinces want to follow suit. Now in this situation, if we take action on such a small crime, not only will we not be able to touch Xu Qian, but the palace may even argue with him. Jiangnan is full of troubles. It is not worth it.

, don’t end up stealing the chicken but losing a handful of rice.”

After hearing this, Yang Yiqing understood in his heart that Yang Tinghe was cherishing his own feathers. Xu Qian's movement was too big, and indeed many people praised him. Not to mention Jiangnan, even Jiangbei, there are many people who hope to adopt a new tax system, but the problem is

The question is, can Zhejiang implement a new tax system, but can other places do so? Many places don’t even have mulberry fields, and grain fields are exempted from taxes. How can the imperial court support troops and provide relief?

But the problem is that it is precisely because other provinces cannot follow suit that the voice is so high. Xu Qian took advantage of this to raise his reputation to the top, which is unprecedented. Under this situation, any cabinet action against Xu Qian

Any move may be subject to rumors, and may even be mistakenly believed that the governor of Zhejiang is hated by the cabinet precisely because of the implementation of this new tax system that benefits the people. This is tantamount to pushing the cabinet to the opposite side of the people's welfare.

This is simply treating yourself as a mt, ridiculing and scolding the gentry and common people all over the world.

The cabinet is in trouble right now. This Xu Qian is always in trouble no matter what he does. However, the more trouble there is in the city, the less afraid of you to take care of him. Just like Hai Rui in history, today he will slap him in the face and tomorrow he will find a powerful person.

He slapped him a few times and made the noise known to the world. As a result, everyone was dumbfounded. No one could do anything to him. If he hadn't offended Jiajing, who was cultivating immortals, to death, he would still be in glory. But even so, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he would still be in glory.

He had to be obediently invited to come out. Xu said that he was a high-ranking official and had a good salary. Without it, it was just that this person was too famous. No matter whether he was the emperor or the ministers, although they disliked him and hated him, they had to erect a memorial arch for him.

Xu Qian's situation is obviously much better than that of Hai Rui. Not only is he famous, but he also has the support of the palace. The emperor can risk the disapproval of the world and attack people like Hai Rui, but what if this rich man is Hai Rui's friend?

?

Therefore, Xu Qian's current position can be said to be impregnable. It seems that it is precisely because of this that he took advantage of the patrol. He wanted to say to the cabinet: I dare to do this, what can you do?

Yang Yiqing is very angry now. The inspector is nominally an imperial envoy and is also an official of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He dares to touch even the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It is clear that he does not take the cabinet seriously. During the Zhengde Dynasty,

, there are so many nonsense things, but I have never seen anything like this. He was silent for a moment and said: "Actually, there may not be anything that can be done about this matter. You see, Xu Qian is the governor of Zhejiang, and the scholars and people support him so much, but the emperor is suspicious by nature.

If you want to prescribe the right medicine, you might as well use this as a breakthrough point to criticize!"

Yang Tinghe's face was stunned. In fact, he had not thought of this method. The emperor was suspicious, which was known to the world, and Xu Qian's reputation in Zhejiang was so high that even the patrol commander dared to punish him. The patrol commander scolded Xu

He was beaten to death by the people for a few words of modesty. If he made an announcement and used this as the title, even if Jiajing was indifferent, wouldn't he have other thoughts in his heart?

This is definitely a desperate strategy. As long as it is used well, it can kill people invisible.

However, Yang Tinghe smiled bitterly: "Not to mention that Your Majesty has always had great trust in Xu Qian, but Xu Qian is so cunning, wouldn't he be wary of this? You see, this memorial was presented to the prefect of Hangzhou, why did Xu Qian

No memorial? Xu Qian must have come to Beijing with a memorial, but it just didn’t go through the cabinet. Therefore, according to my opinion, there is still a memorial from Xu Qian in the palace, and he has already made complete preparations."

However, Yang Yiqing showed a look of disbelief: "After all, I am a young man. Maybe it is not necessary to be close and sparse, but I might as well give it a try. If Xu Qian continues like this in Zhejiang, I am not worried about anything else. I am afraid that the national system will be shaken. Now Zhejiang has become a

What's it like? Everyone is planting mulberry trees and doing some useless river work. If you have this time, why not build the river embankment and take precautions against the water conditions? What kind of school should you set up? It is said that the professor is Wang Xuewen.

, and also encourages people to learn miscellaneous subjects. If this continues, it will not be a blessing to the country."
