The plan was decided, and Fang Yingwu was in the governor's study, writing down his thoughts in detail into a policy article. The focus of the whole article was not his own proposal, but the analysis of the situation of each department of the Northern Banshee.
Since the switch from offense to defense and the isolation of the north by the border wall, the information from the Central Plains to the outside of the Great Wall has been much worse. What the court needs to know most is detailed information. As long as they understand the enemy's situation, they will naturally choose to agree with his idea.
But what Fang Yingwu didn't know was that Governor Yang reported his policy to the court, which immediately caused an uproar, and the reason was not just the memorial.
October is the time for the autumn grain collection in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Just a few days ago, Wang Shu, the governor of Jiangnan, reported that he was ordered to rectify the taxation in Jiangnan. This year, there has been some success and all parties are stable. The memorial also specifically mentioned that Zhejiang’s health officials
If you offer advice in response to material problems and have merit in persuasion, please be rewarded by the court.
This memorial attracted a lot of attention. First, Wang Shu himself was a famous minister, and he liked to lecture his majesty through memorials, so his memorials were always very eye-catching. Once the emperor behaved wildly, the ministers in the court would often say: "
Why hasn’t the prince’s memorial arrived yet?”
Second, the wealth of Jiangnan was the basis of the imperial court's expenses. The four million dan of grain transported to the capital every year basically came from Jiangnan, and the more than one million yuan of gold and silver in Dauchi also came from Jiangnan.
Therefore, the issue of taxation in Jiangnan, especially in Susong, was a top priority for the court no matter what year or month. You must know that all the salaries of the court came from here, and the attention was never low.
People who are interested seem to have seen something about Wang Shu's memorial. This summer, many people knew about Fang Yingwu's rescue of his father, which gave him a great reputation as a loyal minister and filial son. In the end, he was benevolent and was sent to the frontier.
end.
After Fang Qingzhi came out of prison, he took a vacation and went south to get married, and he married Wang Shu's daughter. After all, Wang Shu was still Fang Yingwu's grandfather.
It is said that when Wang Shu's memorial arrived at the cabinet, the first assistant, Wan An, was not there, so the second assistant, Liu Jue, a bachelor, and Liu Ji, a bachelor, read it.
After Liu Jue saw it, he said disdainfully: "Wang Shu has been selfless all his life, but when he gets old, he still has to support his children and grandchildren. What he does is too blunt."
Liu Ji and Liu Mianmian secretly felt funny when they heard the acidity in Liu Jue's words. Liu Jue usually prided himself on being upright, but his reputation was far worse than Wang Shu's.
I have always been unconvinced.
Thinking of this, Liu Ji said casually: "With Wang Shu's character, he would never do this, even if he wanted to promote one of his own people, he would not do it so obviously. Besides, according to the rumors coming from Suzhou Mansion, that Fang Yingwu really stole the show.
He contributed to this matter."
Liu Jue listened to Liu Ji's defense and opposition to Wang Shu, and reprimanded him: "Are you trying to win over Wang Shu to collude with others? Isn't this the duty of a cabinet minister?"
And it seems that Fang Yingwu sang poems with you when he was in the capital? At present, business matters are now too selfish of yours. What knowledge does he, a mere teenager, have?"
Liu Mianmian was furious. This time, he would not do anything else, and he would take the moral high ground and blame him. Not to mention him, the third greatest bachelor, even the first assistant, Wan An, had been scolded by Liu Jue both overtly and secretly.
But there was nothing Liu Miancan could do. Liu Tuo was the emperor’s teacher when he was preparing for the throne in the East Palace. He was not a nominal teacher from the Hanyuanfang Bureau, but a real and close teacher. Even now when the emperor meets Liu Tuo, he still calls him Dong Liu.
gentlemen.
Therefore, Liu Jue was very confident in the cabinet, and he dared to scold people. Of course, Liu Cifu had his own reasons for scolding people. He, Wan An, and Liu Ji were ridiculed as the paper elders of the Three Pavilions, so he felt that he was being dragged down.
Therefore, Wan An and Liu Ji are not pleasing to the eye.
I endured Liu Ji and turned a deaf ear, and looked through other memorials, sneering in my heart. If you can't even bear this grievance, then you are called Liu Mianmian in vain!
He knew that Wan An, the chief assistant, was generous on the outside but sinister on the inside. One day he would come to Liu Jue to settle the accounts. All he had to do was wait quietly for the opportunity to make a profit. He was ten years younger than Wan An and several years younger than Liu Jue.
Years old, time is on his side!
Reason returned to reason, but Liu Mianhua was still feeling a little suffocated. At this time, an urgent memorial from Yansui Town was sent to the cabinet.
The main text of Governor Han's memorial in Yansui Town is not long, but the accompanying policy statement is eloquent and contains thousands of words. What's even more rare is that there is no nonsense and it is all solid content. Governor Han specifically pointed out that this policy was born in Zhejiang
Members, who have been ordered to serve in front of the army, should submit their belongings and ask the court to make a decision.
Liu Jue's face was not very good-looking. He had just disparaged Fang Yingwu, and Governor Han sent such a memorandum. It was very humiliating.
But Liu Mianmian's mood improved, and he felt like he had breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Yingwu's slight grudge about failing to help him improve his reputation with poetry was instantly eliminated.
To say that Wang Shu made a favoritism, does Han Hao have any reason to publicly praise Fang Yingwu? Besides, in order to praise a young man, he compiled these thousands of words of side strategies, that is incredible.
He didn't talk about it, but said that the cabinet did not dare to make the final decision on such a national policy, so he sent it to the palace. However, the emperor had no idea, so he ordered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to discuss it. Since the matter was confidential, only seven ministers of the foreign court were allowed to participate.
.
As a result, Fang Yingwu's policy statement of several thousand words was read out at the court, and passed through the ears of six ministers and the imperial envoys. The princes of Gongun could not help but be surprised.
Finally, there was a lot of discussion. If the issue of Jiangnan's wealth is the top priority of the country's domestic affairs, then the issue of Beibei is the primary issue of foreign affairs, even more eye-catching than the issue of Jiangnan's wealth.
It’s not surprising that a young scholar in his teens has a reputation as a filial son. After all, it’s just a vain thing, and it has nothing to do with his age. But it’s really amazing that he has continuously appeared and made achievements in two major political affairs, both internal and external.
.
Moreover, this policy statement of several thousand words is very meaningful, and it also puts forward the idea of doing the greatest thing at the least cost. It is definitely not something that ordinary people can write.
The former governor expressed his merits, and it was possible that he was praising his descendants, but it is impossible for every two governors in the world to praise Fang Yingwu. It is even more impossible for Governor Han to be so stupid that he refuses to show his merits and insists on letting Fang Yingwu
Sign your name on a few thousand words of side plan.
Everyone can't help but murmur a few words in their hearts, is this a child prodigy? Or a pillar of talent?
Several famous prodigies in this dynasty, such as Li Dongyang, Yang Tinghe and others, were good at writing and learning, but they also had to slowly study government affairs in the Hanlin Academy. There was absolutely no such thing as being far away from the temple, but being able to plan major events. It was a bit strange.
Living in seclusion in Longzhong, you can know the taste of one-third of the world.
The emperor summarized the opinions of all parties, especially those of Yu Zijun, the Minister of War, and Wang Yue, the censor of Zuodu, the two former governors of the northwest border town. He lazily said in red: "Let's try it out for the time being and see the effects."
Liu Ji beat his chest and sighed to his wife: "If I had known this, I should have taken the opportunity to rescue Fang Qingzhi from prison and recruit him as his son-in-law. At that time, he must have dared not refuse.
Now everyone is paying attention, who knows what will happen in two or three years? I have always prided myself on being good at understanding people, but I didn’t make up my mind earlier this time, and I really regret it!” (To be continued.
