The officials of the Tongzhengsi Department are not of high quality, and they are not visible in the capital of the capital where high officials gather and nobles gather. However, the Tongzhengsi Department has extremely heavy power. It is responsible for cashing in the emperor's orders, understanding the affairs of the subordinates, and reporting on the official documents of the pass.
Report to the ministers from all directions, the people have made feudal comments, complaints, military situations, disasters and other matters.
The government and government cleared the upper and lower channels, and made the emperor clear and clear eyes. In the words of scholars in Shen Rui's previous life, it was the highest national news and communication agency and the central petition department directly controlled by the emperor.
The Tongzheng Department is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, and is in the seventh rank of the official position. He is responsible for receiving and receiving documents and transferring documents and using seals for the yamen.
First, there was a case of Qingzhuan Quan Gongshi being destroyed and rolled up the paper, and then there was anonymous book in the Imperial Road to relieve the danger of kneeling and punishment. Shen Rui was promoted from the Hanlin Review from the seventh rank to the Tongzhengsi and the seventh rank, but only the first rank
, naturally no one has any objections.
But anyone with discerning eyes also knows that Shen Rui is going to be reused.
Since the young emperor ascended the throne, the personnel of the Tongzhengsi have changed a lot. Lu Heng was the Minister of Taichang Temple in Nanjing, Zhang Lun was the Right Censor of the Censorate, Huang Bao was the Prefectural Prefecture of Yingtian Prefecture, and Xiong Wei was promoted from the Right Senate to
The left senator and the right senator were promoted to the left senatorial censor and governor Datong, the local government, and the local government was promoted to the local government's military affairs.
In the second year of Zhengde, in addition to Li Hao and Cong Lan were promoted step by step, he was promoted to the post of the Ministry of Revenue and Li Zan, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Rites, Luo Qinzhong, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice and the Right Temple.
The right Senate of Wei Neju.
This is also the reason why Shen Ying's resignation after his worries came back and was unable to resume his post and joined the Tongzheng Department, and finally returned to the Zhan Shi Mansion.
The Tongzhengsi Department, a "place that military strategists must fight for", were closely watched by several cabinet masters, and there were also Liu Da and Wei Ne.
Liu Jin's movements were even bigger. Not only did he insert his own people, but he was also further excluding outsiders. In June and July of the third year of Zhengde, Li Zan, who had only been in the Tongzhengsi Department for a year, was demoted!
Li Zan was demoted to Wengui for Taicang silver from the Ministry of Revenue on the grounds of repairing borders. Gu Zuo, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, said that the salt price and silver were not paid, and there was no money to pay it. Liu Jin was dissatisfied, so naturally
He wanted to instigate the emperor to issue an order to investigate, and all officials in charge would be punished. Li Zan sued Raozhou for the crime of delay.
Ren Liangbi was even more unfair. He has always been upright and did not avoid the powerful and powerful. He was able to be promoted to the fifth rank of the seventh rank of the senator and promoted to the fifth rank of the senator. He was promoted to the fourth rank of the 4th rank, which shows his ability and holy relatives.
Such people naturally would not buy Liu Jin's account. They also had a conflict with Liu Jin's people because of the question of whether some memorials impeached Liu Jin were submitted. Liu Jin held a grudge. In the end, he was demoted to the magistrate of Jianchang Prefecture, Jiangxi for his unfair seal.
Although Shen Rui's entry into the Tongzhengsi this time was just a small experience and was suppressed by all the people above, he was still called by Wang Hua, Yang Tinghe, Yang Zhen and other relatives one by one to remind him repeatedly.
Especially, in this incident of the Anonymous Book of the Imperial Road, Shen Rui had a conflict with Liu Jin.
Liu Jin made the edict and asked all officials to kneel at Fengtian Gate, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among all officials. It was just because Chen Kuan and Shen Rui arrived in time and stopped early. Except for the unwell of the elders, no one appeared as if Shen Rui had died of a sunburn in his previous life.
The bad consequences of dying of thirst did not erupt in all the anger of all officials.
Moreover, the "forgiveness" was a rumor that spread in the inner court. There was no real evidence, and no one dared to impeach rashly.
In particular, the little emperor did not admit it or pursued the responsibility. On the contrary, giving melons and ice was like a post-disaster.
Later, the little emperor approved the establishment of an expert factory, which was personally under the control of Liu Jin, and his power was far above the Jinyiwei and the East and West Factory.
The ministers also gained a new understanding of the little emperor's favor for Liu Jin, and Liu Jin seemed to have become lawless due to this favor.
The matter of Fengrun County farmland is still under investigation. It is difficult to tell the difference because there are too many royal families and relatives involved. However, there is a village where the refugees who should have been sent back to their hometowns are accurate. Liu Jin took the refugees in.
After writing, he suddenly issued a decree to rectify the capital: all the guest servants of the capital were expelled, and all widows were ordered to marry, and those who were mourned and not buried were burned.
The affairs of the experts in the East and West Factory were particularly fierce. The Qing Dynasty exiled people who were unemployed in the city of Beijing, such as bartenders, grinders, and water sales, which caused chaos in the city, and the chickens and dogs were uneasy, and more than a thousand people were expelled in one day.
There are more than ten thousand passengers in the capital! Sijiu City is in a state of turmoil and uneasy.
How could those who were expelled be willing? Many people gathered in the eastern suburbs and threatened to stab Liu Jin to death. Some of them were brave enough to rob the official roads or loot the villages in the suburbs of Beijing, and the order was very bad.
The reason why widows marry all the widows touched the bottom line of ethics. Many court officials had widowed mothers and widowed sisters-in-law. In this way, the ministers immediately wrote letters to impeach Liu Jin.
Liu Jin was not afraid of impeachment, but probably because he was afraid of the assassination. Sure enough, a group of civilians ambushed him with a sharp blade. Although he was protected by his escort, he was really scared and then asked for an order in panic.
, these three decrees were abolished.
The previous riots were probably the middle and lower classes in the middle and lower classes of the capital. In the chaos, the land case in Fengrun County made new progress, which shocked the upper circle of the capital, and the Sijiu City was in an uproar.
Once the Empress Dowager passed, he ordered King Rong to take up the vassal. King Rong took all the nearly 500 farmlands in Fengrun County and returned to the court. He also gave him seven farmlands in Xiangluzhou and other places in Changde Prefecture. He had a total of more than 630 hectares and Rong.
The king gave Changlu salt and three hundred salts.
How much does the land in Changde Prefecture in Huguang cost? How to compare it with the surrounding area of the capital! What is the value of 300 salt entries? What's more, it's difficult to say it's given, but it's hard to cash it out.
King Rong had no decent status when he left the capital.
Although the little emperor has been constantly slapping the royal family since he ascended the throne, especially when he is never ruthless to King Rong, this time he is really too disrespectful to King Rong.
The court officials were worried about the reaction of the vassal state. However, the princesses led by Princess Chun'an reported a report and asked to check the fields under their name to prevent the servants and the villains from causing trouble and disturbing the people.
He brought the royal reputation to the emperor; he also voluntarily donated part of the land to resettle the people who lost their land to share the worries of the emperor.
It was not unexpected for everyone to do this. She had always been on the side of the little emperor and had chosen the relative Zhang family of the foreign relative. This time, the Empress Dowager Shengdan, and he heard that she had entered the palace to congratulate him.
The Empress Dowager was in the harem for a long time, and then he visited the princess's mansions with the eldest princess of Deqing, and finally this result was achieved.
However, Princess Yongkang had frequently entered the palace to cry to Queen Mother Zhang, and secretly connected with several "involved" families. She found some censors to exonerate them, but she just bit the meat that was in the mouth and refused to release them.
.
But when Princess Chun'an came to her house, especially after King Rong left the capital in a somewhat embarrassed manner, she suddenly changed her temper and spit out the land occupied by Fengrun County, and also learned from the Duke of England.
Double repayment also compensates for the annual tax arrears.
She was like this, and the other princesses followed suit even more quickly.
The eldest princess Chun'an has a high seniority among the royal family. The princess Cai Zhen is in charge of the clan's mansion. Her family takes the lead in expressing her opinion. The princesses follow up. In this way, the other princes have become vassals early. There is not much land in the suburbs of Beijing, and it does not involve individuals.
Who would have the interests to be for the King Rong who lost power? His face was calm and quiet. It is unknown whether he was dissatisfied inside.
The princesses reported the report, and the relative Zhou family responded, and they were also dealt with like the eldest princess Yongkang and the Duke of England.
But his family's farmland is different.
His family has 870 hectares of farmland in Fengrun County, one of which is connected to the land of Zhang Yanling, the Marquis of Jianchang. During the Hongzhi Dynasty, the two families fought the lawsuit to the Golden Palace due to nearly a hundred gluts of neighboring land.
It was said that the Zhou family and Zhang family fought each other because of the land grabbing. Zhou Shou's younger brother, Zhou Yu, also fought with Zhang Heling because of the land grabbing. At that time, the two slaves fought each other with weapons.
It was a big mess.
Emperor Hongzhi would beat forty boards most of the time, but in his heart, he was actually more partial to his brother-in-law. Of course, from the perspective of checks and balances, he also wanted to use the Zhang family to suppress the Zhou family, which had been rampant for many years in the Xianzong Dynasty.
Shou lost the battle for land this time, and in the end most of the land was transferred to the Zhang family and the small half of the land was transferred to the Zhou family.
However, the land that Zhang Zhou fought for was actually intended to be given to King Yong.
At that time, King Yong was in Hengzhou, and Emperor Hongzhi granted land near Hengzhou, so the matter was left to nothing.
Now King Yong has died of illness in the first month of the second year of Zhengde. Because he had no children, his country was destroyed. His concubine and his family moved to Beijing. After Princess Yong returned to Beijing, he wrote a letter to ask for land in Fengrun County. At that time, the young emperor did not give in.
The Zhou family of Zhang family returned the land, but instead gave the land to Princess Yong in Dingxing, and the land in the two counties of the city was given to Princess Yong.
This time, the Zhou family retired from the land, and Princess Yong wrote another letter, but did not propose to the land in Fengrun County. Instead, it said that all the widows in their homes were guarding widows and had no descendants to raise them, and there was no need for much land. I was willing to follow the example of the princesses and return the land to the people.
The court did its best.
Xia Ru, the new father-in-law of this dynasty, has always been cautious. It is very different from the Zhou and Zhang families in the previous dynasty. After receiving Qianqing Tuo Tianyuan, he was a little nervous. When the incident in Fengrun County came, the Xia family also wanted to offer the fields, but they were afraid of Zhou.
Zhang did not move. His family would be able to make a move rashly, and the two companies would join forces to deal with it.
At this time, seeing that the Zhou family stood up first, the palace sent another shocking news, and the Xia family hurriedly stood up.
Behind his family, he naturally followed two other royal relatives, the Shen family and the Wu family.
Which dynasty is not a royal relative and the country rushes to seek rewards, but when it comes to this dynasty, they rush to offer the land. For a moment, all officials are stunned, while the people are happy, and they all say that the wise and wise are now.
The little emperor was naturally very happy. All the princesses and relatives and children were rewarded to a certain extent. Princess Yong, who had no son, also gave him a thousand stones of support and support rice every year.
But in the midst of the storm and hustle and bustle, the Zhang family of the foreign relative was quiet.
*
Only when Shen Rui joined the Tongzhengsi Department was he truly able to see the full picture of the Ming Empire.
Every day, a large number of military and political comments from all over the country poured into the Tongzhengsi, involving all aspects of the Ming Empire. Shen Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly. No wonder the emperors didn't like to read the comments. If they had to read these comments alone,
Reply, it was really time to eat and sleep every day.
However, Shen Rui must admit that these notes also allowed him to grow up quickly.
He had traveled with Wang Shouren and had a deep understanding of the lives of ordinary people along the way to Songjiang to the capital. He thought he had some knowledge of the real life of the Ming Dynasty. However, what he saw and knew was compared with what he reflected in the comments. There is still a big gap.
What he knew was the situation in the relatively prosperous areas of the Ming Dynasty, and this vast empire had complex and diverse people's sentiments.
Therefore, he was very glad that he was still rational and had no brains and forced himself to sell his "reform propositions" from his previous life when he was angry.
The work in Tongmatsu is busy and fulfilling, probably because it’s too busy. Although there are people in Tongmatsu, the interpersonal relationships are not as bad as he imagined.
Before being transferred to the Tongzheng Department, Chen Ying took Shen Rui to visit his old acquaintance. Although many of the acquaintances who worked with Chen Ying three years ago were transferred, many of them were promoted to senior management, such as the one who was with Chen Ying three years ago. Cong Lan, the old minister of Chen Ying, who was also a senator, is now the right-wing political party.
This is also a capable minister, just like Ren Liangbi. He was promoted from the Military Affairs Office to the General Secretary in the 14th year of Hongzhi.
Due to the recent two incidents, Cong Lan has a very good impression of Shen Rui. He heard that Shen Rui's Qingzun Shunshu Shop has completed the examination records and examination texts of the current subject. He is now publishing the Jingwei Martial Arts Cong Lan was also very interested in Cao Dian and Military Book. He was once a transfer department and a military department clerk. He knew a lot about many things and had a very speculative conversation with Shen Rui.
In addition to the palace examination records, the timely texts, Cao Dian, and military books, Qingzun also printed the poetry collections of Yang Shen and Dai Dabin. Both of them were excellent in poetry, and these two collections were once published. The Beijing Sergeant Lin is hotly discussed and sought after.
There are also many literati and poets who are itchy and come to Qingzhuan to publish manuscripts. Among them, there are colleagues from Tongzhengsi, which makes Shen Rui more popular in the yamen.
But on this day, Cai Liang posted a post saying that he had borrowed a garden from the eldest princess and invited Shen Rui and his wife to have a small gathering, and Pang Tianqing was accompanied by him.
Shen Rui naturally happily went to the appointment and said to Yang Tian with a gossip: "Maybe it was a collection of old Pang's jealous brother and Bin Zhong. He also came up with a book, but he was embarrassed to tell me that he wanted his brother-in-law to be the host. ”
Yang Tian covered his mouth and smiled and said, "Cheung Pang is also a talented person. What's the difficulty of publishing this collection? How can you control it? You'd better be a boss and ask for the seriousness of Mobao."
Shen Rui joked: "The boss is doing a good job now."
When Shen Rui got the official position, he immediately asked for an imperial edict for his wife and quickly approved it. Yang Tian is now a serious lady.
Zhao Tong's body became heavier due to her filial piety and her pregnancy. The two of them are now managed by Yang Tian alone.
Yang Tian bowed his hand and said in a rough voice: "If you don't dare to take it, you won't dare to take it. In the end, it's better to do it than Chen Juan Huanxisha Teahouse owner."
The two of them looked at each other and glared for a moment, and couldn't help laughing.
Because of the previous incident of Shangsi banquet, Cai Liang was afraid that Shen Rui and his wife would be taboo. The banquet was not set in Zeyuan, but the eldest princess was in a house in the city. Although it was not very big, it had exquisite scenery and demonstrated its craftsmanship everywhere.
Shen Rui dismounted in front of the door, and Cai Liang and Pang Tianqing had already greeted him and said with a smile: "My grandmother has also come here. She said she will join in the fun with the young people, and she will be exhausted."
The eldest princess Chun'an is not the kind of person who likes to join in the fun. Although Shen Rui respectfully expressed that he would follow Cai Liang to pay tribute to the eldest princess, he thought about the intention of Cai Liang's banquet in his heart.
Yang Tian's carriage stopped at the second door. Cai Liang's wife Fang, Cai Song's wife Deng and Cai Luo's sister-in-law came out to greet each other, usually intimately, she was attracted to the eldest princess.
A screen was set up in the flower hall in the backyard, with Yang Tian and other female relatives entering, while Shen Rui and other male guests were greeting on the screen.
The eldest princess smiled and asked everyone to avoid gifts. She just said that she was here to join in the fun and had nothing to say, so she asked Shen Rui and others to have fun. She kept Yang Tian down to talk and then let someone go to the garden to enjoy it.
.
Shen Rui was even more confused about the intention of the eldest princess for a moment.
Until he followed Cai Liang through most of the garden, stepped onto the plank road in the lake, and saw the uninvited guests in the water pavilion from afar.
The banquet in the waterfront was set up, and a few singers holding the pipa stood beside the table. The red skirt reflected the clear water, which was particularly eye-catching, but Shen Rui's eyes did not fall on them, but looked at the table.
The man who stood up and greeted them.
Although I have only met once, Shen Rui remembers this person too hard because he is an "enemy".
That person was Zhou Xian, the only grandson of Empress Dowager Zhou, and the only bloodline of the Great Princess of Chongqing.
That is, his sister-in-law killed Shen Luo, and he soon made the sister-in-law "dead and died" and lost his life.
But this account is not calculated like one life.
If Zhou Xian had not been on the side of the Zhang family, Thunder Ting had treated his brother Zhou Mao by means of his method to end the Zhang family, the Shen family would not have known the truth about Shen Luo's death for many years, and would not have been able to seek justice from the Zhang family.
The truth was revealed so coincidental that when Shen Zhou was demoted back to Beijing, the uncle and nephew of the Shen family learned from different people that the real murderer was Zhang Yanling and Qiao Yongde.
After the Shen family and Qiao family fell apart, the Qiao brothers' dispute over their property became a farce in the city. It was reported on the street that Qiao's son was crazy because he missed his prematurely dead son and became sick. He took advantage of the situation to bring his son Shen Luo's.
The real cause of death was shaken out, and the spearhead was pointed directly at Zhang Yanling.
At that time, it was also the time when the emperor first showed dissatisfaction with the Zhang family.
If there is no Zhou Xian’s method here, Shen Rui would never believe it.
Now, Cai Liang has made Zhou Xian and Shen Rui drink and have fun, and the eldest princess is also robbed.
The usual gentle smile on Shen Rui's face also disappeared, he pulled the corners of his mouth, stared at Zhou Xian over there, and asked Cai Liang softly: "Is it possible that Brother Fifth is going to hold a Hongmen Banquet?"
Cai Liang looked helpless and turned around and drove his younger brother, brother-in-law and Changsui away. He stood on the plank road in the center of the lake, looked at the vast water surface, sighed, and whispered: "Hengyun, we don't know each other either."
It's been a day or two, and I think you are like your brothers, how can you harm you? To be honest, I have obtained the accurate letter, and the emperor wants to hand over the martial arts of the Beijing Wei to Zhou Xian.
He said as he looked at Shen Rui's face and said, "Although his gangster has a bad conscience, he has already paid off his life, and the Zhou family is not disrespectful to the Shen family that winter.
, I think you have heard that it can be uploaded on the street, but the real murderer is..."
He said the word "Jianchang" very lightly and quickly, and then said: "He wants to manage the martial arts of Jingwei for at least one year. Your bookstore still has Caodian military books printed on it. Wouldn't you really have to do with him in the future?
Have you dealt with? In the future, he will also do things for the emperor. He is considered his own people. He is smart and has a grudge against that person. In the future, he may not be able to avenge the grudge with you..."
The last few words slowly lowered, and finally they were almost inaudible.
Although the Grand Princess's Mansion is in conflict with Shouning and Jianchang Hou Mansion, some words cannot be said casually.
Shen Rui turned his head to look at Cai Liang, and asked lightly: "Is it because the Zhou family has retired from the farmland, and the emperor wants to reward the Zhou family?"
Although this result was unexpected, it was reasonable.
Cai Liang hesitated for a moment, and finally made a cruel decision and said bluntly: "In front of an open person, you are also close to the emperor, and you should also know what the emperor is going to do. Fengrun County is just the first step. Now,
The royal families, the Zhou family, the Xia family and Shen Wu gradually formed a siege, just to drag the Zhang family in.
"In fact, although Fengrun County is good, that kind of land is a trivial matter. What I really want is to wait for the royal family, relatives, and nobles to ask for a check-up, and the emperor will be able to follow the trend to clear the land of the world.
This is a big deal. But with the Zhang family standing in front of him, people in the local area will inevitably wait and see and refuse to move, so they must move the Zhang family away."
Shen Rui listened quietly, but sighed in his heart. Brother Shou had not given up on the idea of clearing the world. Now he can only hope to advance slightly more gently.
Cai Liang heard it: "Now that the Zhou family takes the lead, how can the emperor not reward this great merit? How can the imperial guards who were honored by the Yinyiwei, which is more honorable than rewarding real jobs? Isn't this also a matter of doing it for the relatives of the foreigners.
A role model? Where can the Zhou family have children who can be appreciated? Zhou Xian is the nephew of the Zhou family, and the royal nephew. Since the emperor wants to use him, do you still regard his enemies and refuse to work with him?"
After saying so much in one breath, Cai Liang was a little depressed when he saw that Shen Rui was still cold. He patted his arm and said in a very sincere and heart-to-heart tone: "Second brother, listen to me, I'll invite you here today
, I don’t really want to be a peacemaker, I don’t just say this, I don’t say this in a simple way, nor do I say this with such a big face.
Shen Rui seemed to have really heard it, staring at Cai Liang with good eyes.
Cai Liang smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Brother, I just thought, if you drink this wine today, can we live a good life? It is also so that the emperor knows your loyalty. We are all the emperor's people, the emperor wants it
Who should we help, right? In the future, at worst, the bridge will return to the bridge and the road will return to the road. There is no need to help him like Zhang Xiaoer, so that it will not cause any trouble to ruin the emperor. What's there to do?
The emperor doesn’t need him to say anything more. What?”
Shen Rui lowered his eyelids and swept across a lotus field on the water surface. At this time, the flowering period was over, and many flower cups were already blooming and defeating.
It is prosperous and declining, just like the Zhou family.
Without Empress Dowager Zhou, the Zhou family was a tiger with teeth pulled out. It was not dangerous and the emperor could use it as much as possible.
The emperor wanted to use Zhou Xian. In addition to this person's talent, he also hung a carrot in front of the donkeys such as the nobles of the foreign relatives.
Shen Rui certainly understood the emperor's choice.
But should the emperor's choice be the Shen family's choice? Is this a manifestation of loyalty to the emperor?
Politics is an art of compromise. Shen Rui suddenly remembered this sentence in his previous life.
He suddenly smiled, raised his hand to Zhou Xian who bowed to him from afar, turned around neatly, and said to Cai Liang: "The emperor knows Rui's loyalty, and the fifth brother knows it. If the emperor has his will, Rui should cooperate.
I dare not ignore it at all. This is a public affairs, and the auspicious person will not abolish the public because of personal relationships. As for personal relationships, the fifth brother forgives the crime, and the Shen family does not want to slander it."
The Shen family can choose not to compromise.
*
In the inner courtyard, Yang Tian had not yet gone to the garden, so he chatted with the eldest princess for a moment. A servant came before him to send a letter. Chen Xue asked the lady to return home together, but he did not mention "there is an urgent matter in the family".
Yang Tian couldn't help but be surprised, but he didn't want to ask, and said goodbye to Princess Chun'an with apologetic expression.
The eldest princess had no strange expression on her face and only invited her to come back with a smile.
Fang's Deng's smile was somewhat reluctant.
Cai Luo, the only one, didn't understand the reason, pouted and muttered in a low voice that he had not had time to play.
Cai Luo's marriage was scheduled for October 16th. Now the Cai family has restrained her from leaving the house according to the customs. Therefore, it is rare to have such a chance to have fun. She has not been able to do it. She couldn't help but be disappointed. She sent Yang Tian out the way. , she couldn't help but hold Yang Tian's hand and insisted that she come back next time.
Yang Tian was so entangled by her that she had no choice but to come to see her again another day, and promised to bring some famous food shops in Xiyuan, so she was let go.
After leaving the second door and getting on the carriage, he saw that Shen Rui was not riding a horse and was also sitting in the carriage, with a dip in his face and seemed to be unhappy. Yang Tian was confused and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Shen Rui waved his hand and waited for the car to drive out of the Cai family, and said, "Zhou Xian, the son of the eldest princess of Chongqing, was also on the table, so I turned back."
Yang Tian knew very well about this grudge, and couldn't help but change his face and blurted out: "What does the Grand Princess' Mansion mean?"
Shen Rui grabbed her hand and pulled it into his arms, patted her comfortably, and said, "It's a matter in the court, you don't have to worry too much."
He never concealed Yang Tian, so he simply said the matter and said, "It's really a holy intention. Now that he is smart, he will never mention the case between our family and the Zhou family and the Zhang family. I pretend to be confused. That is, the emperor will not blame the emperor if he does not delay his work. Besides, it may not be what the emperor means.”
Yang Tian frowned for a while, finally sighed and said, "When we were still in Xiang'an Village, do you remember that once, Sister Cai Qi brought Empress Wu, who had not yet entered the palace, to the village."
Of course, Shen Rui remembered that it happened that time that Brother Shou also came over, and he saw the Wu girl from afar on a whim.
However, Shen Rui had no interest in this Empress Wu, who was said to be a stunning person in the world and was very cunning. What he remembered was that Shou Ge finalized the Liaodong incident.
Thinking of Liaodong and the investigation of military camps, it is naturally related to this clearance of land and mu.
There are not too many borers in this Ming Empire. Shen Rui complained in his heart.
Hearing Yang Tian said with silence, "At that time, my sister six told me not to blame Qi Niang, saying that these noble relatives of the royal family are different from civil and military affairs. The royal family must not take into account the meaning of the palace..."
Shen Rui was stunned and turned to realize that his little wife was persuading him in disguise.
He couldn't help but smile, tightened his arms again, gently intoxicated her forehead, and said, "I remember the care of the eldest princess for you, and today Cai Wu held a banquet, whether it was the emperor's suggestion or his own family I want to cater to my superiors and speak openly about this, and I still recognize him as a friend."
Yang Tian glanced at him, "Why am I not inseparable from inside and outside?" He sighed, "I didn't expect that they were doing this for this. The eldest princess kept asking me about the birth of my sister from that day trip, and even called Guizhi. My mother came and asked her some medical questions. She asked so much, and then gave her a reward. I was still wondering if the seventh sister of the Cai family had a body and the eldest princess cherished her granddaughter and called me. Come here and ask more questions."
Due to the difficulties of giving birth, the wife of the British Duke's grandson, You, had two confinement after giving birth, and Yang Tian kept asking Guizhi's mother to help.
Although the British Duke's Mansion was impeached in the middle and involved the prince made the You family a little angry, but in the end, he came here without any danger. The unexpected surprise of the division of the family was the one who was in the family. The You family's confinement period was The interior is well maintained.
Now that the confinement period is over, the You family and the son are in peace, Guizhi's mother invites her back to the house and follows Yang Tian, taking care of her health wholeheartedly, hoping that she will be pregnant as soon as possible.
The British Duke's Mansion naturally prepared generous gifts for remuneration, and also gave gifts to Yang's Mansion and Shen's Mansion.
Yang Tian also has a great reward. This time, he brought Guizhi's mother here to give her a chance to come out for fun. Unexpectedly, Guizhi's mother would be called by the eldest princess to ask questions and give her something to her.
Shen Rui did not pay attention to these trivial matters in the back house, but he casually responded: "Miss Cai Qi married from Nanzhili, I think it was the grandmother of the eldest princess." Then he opened the topic.
However, unexpectedly, the eldest princess came to the door to borrow Guizhi's mother, but it was not for Cai Miao...
Let’s talk about Shen Rui and his wife returning to Shen Mansion and asking Xu for help. Shen Rui shut down everyone and told Xu about what happened today.
Xu nodded and said, "This is the case." After a pause, he said, "You are now in the Tongzheng Department, but you are not as good as the Hanlin Academy. It is better not to make friends with some important yamen."
Shen Rui nodded repeatedly. Jingwei martial arts is also an important place. He and Zhang Hui had a young friendship, so it wouldn't seem like anything. If he really got along with Zhou Xian with his past grudges, he wouldn't have guaranteed that Brother Shou would think.
He is in the Tongmai Department and now he should consider avoiding suspicion.
Xu sighed slowly again: "This is... I should tell your second uncle."
Shen Rui also sighed, responded, and said, "Uncle II has been in the academy outside the city two days ago. The last time my son and mother mentioned the academy, I have never discussed it with my second uncle, and now I have to do it with my second uncle. Say, I'm afraid it's just right."
Xu smiled bitterly and said, "It may not be the right thing. Although your second uncle is not your third uncle's idle cloud and wild crane, he doesn't like to take care of trivial matters. Forget it, please ask, if he is willing, it will be a benefit. Good deeds that benefit the people."
What Shen Rui wanted to talk to Shen Zhou was the establishment of the Agricultural School, Commercial School, and Craftsman School.
As he reported to Shouge before, he wanted to build these schools in the Shenzhou Academy, where the place is abundant, the scenery is good, and there are also farm fields to be used as experimental fields. It is really good to be a university town committee like his previous life. Convenient to unified management.
A few days ago, he happened to see a note. The rain and hail in Shanyang County, Huai'an Prefecture were like chicken eggs, and the storm and rain broke out, causing more than 200 hectares of autumn crops and more than 100 damaged ships. Natural disasters are prevented, but they can be remedied, at least , if you repair a ship, you will lack good boatmen.
This is the time to promote the Agricultural School and the Craftsman School.
If the emperor wants to promote the world to clear the land, all places will be considered as lacking in people who are proficient in calculating, and the business school can also be established.
He did not want to combine these schools and academies into a comprehensive university, because the world is still dominated by the argument that "everything is inferior, only high school students" and merchants and craftsmen are looked down upon by scholars. They are really pinched together. I'm afraid there will be constant conflicts.
Each school also has its own special features, and it is more appropriate to manage it separately. However, one person still needs to be in charge of the general manager, so Shen Rui certainly listed Shenzhou as his first choice.
When Shen Rui arrived at Chenzhou's study, he saw a room of small radish heads writing big characters in a row, but Chenzhou was taking the coursework of several children at home.
During these days, the academy was newly built and there were so many things. Chenzhou simply lived outside the city to cook one by one, saving the time to travel back and forth, and he had no time to take care of a few children.
Seeing Chen Zhou holding Xiao Nan's hand to teach him how to use his pen, he circled out the fourth brother, Lu Taotao and other words that were appropriate, with a kind and peaceful face, Shen Rui suddenly felt sad.
It was not until the children wrote a big word that Chen Zhou let them go.
However, Chen Zhou's eyes kept following the children. Seeing that they were doing their usual manners and then came out one after another. When they arrived in the yard, they were all reborn, chatting and having fun. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh: "These monkeys." ”
It was not until the children's laughter gradually faded that he withdrew his gaze and asked Shen Rui with a smile: "Is there something wrong with Brother Rui?"
Shen Rui felt his throat choked and could not speak. He calmed down his emotions and slowly brought up what happened today.
The smile on Chen Zhou's face faded inch, like a wooden sculpture, without any reaction, and his face turned gray little by little, without any glory.
After a while, he said with difficulty: "Brother Rui... the old thing is gone, and the man who is a tyrant has already paid his life. Your elder brother... your elder brother... is also considered to be in peace. As for those who are vicious," he also said. After a moment of silence, Fang said, "Qiao Yongde deserves to die, Qiao family, but I didn't kill them all. There is no need to delay your own career for the sake of the Zhou family."
He never mentioned the Zhang family, which showed his hatred. It was just that the Zhang family was, and it was difficult for him to take revenge, and he would not put this heavy burden on his nephew.
Especially, this nephew he felt guilty.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to care about the death of his own son, that’s his only flesh and blood. He is also a young juren, such an outstanding child, but now, he hopes that his nephew’s career will be smooth.
Chen Zhou was really happy that his nephew was appreciated by the emperor and was valued by the Tongzheng Department. He also did not want his deceased son to affect his nephew's Shengjun.
Shen Rui sighed: "The second uncle doesn't need to consider his nephew's affairs. The nephew is a proper person. Don't worry. Brother Luo's affairs are the Shen family's affairs, and also the nephew's affairs."
Chen Zhou stopped talking, but just kept shaking his head, not sure whether he didn't want to mention it or not.
Shen Rui was silent for a long time and said to Brother Xiao Nan. It can be seen that Chen Zhou really loves Brother Xiao Nan. Brother Xiao Nan is also a smart and lovely child. He is also a person who is grateful to him and manages the Shen family. Very dedicated.
Although the mother and son now have 300,000 taels of pension money and can live with the Shen family, Xiao Nan always has to take the imperial examination path. The imperial examination requires investigation of his ancestors for three generations. Although Shen Ling died unjustly, she was rehabilitated. At that time, He was tough and refused to Hui genealogy. Brother Xiao Nan's identity was embarrassing.
If you can remember it as your descendant under Shen Zhou's name, it is still an excellent solution.
However, at Shen Ling's funeral that day, Chen Zhou was forced out of the truth by He's heart. It was his own demon who believed that he had committed a crime due to unfilial and unrighteous fate and was not worthy of having children to die. This caused Chen Luo and Chen Jue harmed Shen Ling again, so he was afraid that he would adopt Xiao Nan and would harm his life for his grandson. He even said something he didn't want Shen Rui to be a kid, for fear that Shen Rui would be implicated.
Heart disease requires heart medicine. At this time, Shen Rui couldn't say too much, so he just said, "I just saw that the fourth brother's handwriting was already a little bit. After all, he followed the third uncle, which is a calligraphy style. Everyone’s seedlings. It’s rare that Xiao Nan’er also wrote well.”
Chen Zhou was stunned for a moment, as if he had fallen into a dream, his face changed, and he said in a muttering manner: "Brother Xiao Nan..."
In the end, he woke up from his dream and still shook his head without saying a word.
Seeing this, Shen Rui knew that his knot was difficult to resolve, so he stopped mentioning it, but completely changed the topic and talked about those academies.
Chen Zhou had heard of his ideas for a long time, but it was just going to be implemented now. After all, he was a person who had been in charge of the Imperial College and had been teaching in Nancheng Academy for a long time. Chen Zhou was very experienced and not only agreed to be the chief of the mountain, but also gave it to Shen Rui. A lot of suggestions.
Finally, he suddenly said, "Brother Rui, just let go of your hands and do it. At the academy, I will visit some old Hanlin friends tomorrow and ask them to come out to teach."
Shen Rui was stunned, then smiled and said, "My nephew is going to invite more students in this year's exam year. In his spare time, he will talk about his test-taking experience."
Starting the next day, Chen Zhou indeed began to go out to visit his former colleagues, and in the same year.
However, he had a mediocre popularity in the past, but he left the scene in disgrace because of the insult to the Inner Palace. When he returned to Beijing, he was at the most fierce battle between the two families, and the Qiao family was in chaos. This popularity... There is no need to mention it.
Although the Shen family has climbed up to two mountains, Wang Ge Lao and Yang Ge Lao, there are still many people who don’t buy Shenzhou account.
Therefore, Chenzhou's recruitment plan was quite difficult.
Especially after seeing that he did not go back to teach and wanted to establish himself, the Tian family was extremely dissatisfied and had many troubles to intercept the people Hu Chenzhou wanted to invite.
The Tian family once asked his son-in-law, the third master, to talk to him. The third master was dissatisfied because the Tian family was a turtle when the Qingzhuan incident happened. The two sides parted ways without a few words.
Only the third wife, Tian, was caught between her parents' home and her husband, and she cried from time to time.
Shen Rui is relatively relaxed. After all, he has the favor of Qingzunshu Shop, and the new Jinshi are more passionate and loyal than those old officials in the officialdom. Many people promise to come here to teach during the holidays.
However, they cannot compare with Lao Hanlin from fame to teaching experience to teaching time.
Fortunately, there are not many students now, and I can barely deal with it.
No one expected that the one who helped them solve the professor's problem in the end was Liu Jin's new policy.
*
Zhou Xian's takeover of the Jingwei Martial Arts really shocked many people.
With the further investigation of the fields in Fengrun County, the Marquis of Jianchang finally let go and spit out half of the nearly 100-yuan farmland that had fought with the Zhou family. Then the Marquis of Shouning also wrote a letter smoothly, willing to donate the fields to do their best for the court.
The little emperor seemed to have only the Zhang family's attitude and did not investigate how much land there was. In the palace, the empress dowager and his son seemed to be more kind and filial to each other. The little emperor also took the empress dowager to the West Garden to enjoy the scenery.
Soon afterwards, the people who cleared the land of Zhangzhang were released.
I don't know if he listened to Shen Rui's advice, Shouge did not choose to let the West Factory or the expert factory intervene, but instead sent a regular inspector and a doctor from the Ministry of Revenue, and did not rashly investigate the world's fields. He knew that he still started with the army and followed some vassal kings, lords, lords, commanders and others' farmlands.
As for the inspector Zhao Bin, the censor of Zhili, investigate Datong, Xuanfu; the inspector Li Pu, investigate the twelve guards of Ganchuan; the governor of Shandong, inspector Zhou Xiong, investigate Liaodong; the right chief of the Sili, Gao Jin, and Feng Yong, the deputy director of the Ministry of Revenue, investigated Feng Yong, the former deputy director of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Zhuangtian requested by the King of Jing of Shandong, Hu Ruli, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, changed the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War to Cha Zhili, the lord inside and outside the Xuanfu, the commander, and the military officer of the Zhuangtian.
Liu Jin was unwilling to give up his remaining energy in this investigation. He and his think tank Jiao Fang, Zhang Cai and others racked their brains and finally came up with a benefit to the country and the people (self-righteously) and very gentle (like)
A new punishment compared to Chongyao).
In the name of "rich country", he was fined the rice and lost to the edge.
It is said that it is a new policy, but it is actually a new wine in old bottles. This method of fined rice was found at Taizu when he was Taizu. Chengzu was a decree. However, it was mostly a death penalty for atonement rice. Most of them paid nearby and did not lose to the border again.
.
When you arrive at Liu Jin, the designated rice collection locations are all nine sides, and the punished officials need to find a way to transport the grain and rice there.
The number of fines ranges from 2300 to 23000 to 23000, and there is no very clear standard for the punishment, because the charges are all kinds of crimes, and even crimes that are intended to be added.
It must be said that this strategy of fined rice and lost to the border has indeed alleviated the problem of difficulty in transporting grain at the border to a certain extent, especially since the border has been investigated, the situation in the granary is very unoptimistic.
But in essence, Liu Jin wanted to attack the court officials and took many political enemies to attack him. From the second-rank Shangshu, the chief censor to the seventh-rank Supervisor Censor, all high-ranking officials were punished.
For some honest officials, the punishment of rice itself is not much lighter than heavy shackles.
At this time, the Jingcang corn costs six cents of silver, wheat costs seven cents, japonica rice for one liang, and glutinous rice costs one liang, two liang per stone.
Two or three hundred taels are nothing in the eyes of high-ranking officials, but they are enough for ordinary Beijing officials to live for one or two years, let alone a thousand taels. In the eyes of some poor Beijing officials, one thousand taels is an astronomical figure.
Compared to "finishing the rice", what is more troublesome is "losing the edge".
It is not easy to transport grain on the nine sides, and salt is used to attract merchants to transport grain to borders with huge profits. It is not easy to transport grain by merchants organized, let alone ordinary families.
The travel expenses spent on the border are not surprisingly higher than the price of rice several times. Moreover, you have to burn incense and worship Buddha, and not be robbed by the robbery.
The officials who were fined rice were mostly complaining, and many people almost broke the bank in order to pay the fined rice. This is the case with Han Wen, the Minister of Revenue who has retired.
Liu Jin's "gentle" trick was quite powerful.
Xie Qian's youngest son Xie Pi was also charged with "losing Wen Ce". Like Han Wen, he was fined 1,000 s of rice and lost to Datong. Later, he simply found a reason to dismiss the official position and served as the people.
Liu Jin took the opportunity to liquidate the Liu Xie disciples who had not been completely cleaned up at the beginning, as well as the Hanlin and the Censor who were calling for justice for Xie Pi and others.
Many people who refused to rely on Liu Jin and who had impeached and condemned Liu Jin were also among the fined.
The poor Hanlin, the poor Hanlin, and the Hanlin Academy are among the best Qingshui yamen. Many of them barely survive in Beijing. How can they bear the fine? Many people have to borrow money.
At this time, Shenzhou's Qingze Academy came into view by hiring a teacher with high salaries.
Shen Rui also introduced a policy of prepaying lecture fees in a timely manner, and can also settle the money flexibly on time, day, month and other methods to help Hanlin fined to alleviate the economic pressure. Therefore, Qingze Academy will no longer lack teachers.
.
Some people even want to teach basic students and math lessons in business schools and craftsmen’s schools for higher incomes.
The Shen family and the Xie family have a marriage relationship, and Xie Di is Chen Ying. Wang Shouren is the same year, and Xie Pi also has a family relationship with the third master. Xie Pi was demoted and fell behind. The Shen family once invited him to stay in Qingze Academy. Rui even pointed out half-light and half-darkly and stayed in the capital and could wait for a recovery at any time.
However, Xie Pi was always arrogant and even suffered this heavy blow, he was not depressed and refused to stay. He insisted on returning home to worship his elders.
The Shen family couldn't do it either, so they prepared enough gifts to send him south.
On that day, He Taizhi also followed Shen Rui to see Xie Pi. After returning, he complained to Shen Rui privately: "I used to take Li Liu Ge to Shandong, now, the disciples of the Xie family have also been taken down. Look, There are still a few people coming to see him off, and those people might as well leave them to Brother Li Liu.”
Shen Rui poked him and said, "You should also add a doorman to your mouth." Seeing him making a face, he said seriously, "There are so many things inside, you just listened to it, don't think about it. OK. I studied with my husband. Recently, these gentlemen have been very talented, but I have to strive to win the Jinshi in three years.”
He Taizhi nodded quickly and smiled, "That fellow villager of Binzhong, Mr. Lin, is indeed a talented person. Listening to his lectures is clear! The article is concise, but it is extremely exciting! And Lin Fuyu is also interesting. Putian has many talents. ”
He had long been allowed to study in Beijing by his father, and now he is studying in Qingze with Dai Dabin's cousin Lin Fuyu. The one he mentioned is Dai Dabin's fellow townsman Lin Fu, former Dali judge.
Lin Fu and Dai Dabin were considered a family friendship. When Dai Dabin and Lin Fuyu and others were quarreling in Huanxisha, Xiyuan, they were Lin Fu who came forward to take them to apologize. Later, they also defended Dai Dabin from many ways.
When the gossip about Liu Jin seeking to recruit his son-in-law Dai Dabin came out, Lin Fu also defended Dai Dabin from many ways, and there was a satire of Liu Jin in his words. He also wanted to rebel against Liu Jin because of other business matters, and almost got imprisoned after being thirty years old. It was Dai Dabin and Shen Ruixiang who rescued him, but he was eventually demoted and punished him.
Lin Fu was angry and refused to accept the small official from the remote place. He simply resigned and went directly to Qingze Academy to teach.
There were many officials like Lin Fu who came to Qingze. Therefore, Qingze Academy became famous in Beijing for a while, and many scholars came to study.
At the same time, it has spread throughout the market because of its great fame. Many families cannot afford to study and want to find a job. They all heard that in addition to Qingze, there is also a Qingyi School, which is divided into commercial and craftsmen school. You can go in and learn craftsmanship.
This green ze means moistening things silently, which ordinary people do not understand. The green wing means that it is like a tiger adding wings, but it is something that the people like to hear.
I heard that unlike working on a three-year job on the cabinet, this school provides students with food and accommodation. After the workplace "internship", there is a small amount of monthly silver. If you learn quickly, you can become a success in one year and become a regular person. The latter is like those guys.
People want to send their children to save money, not to mention that they can take the money back to supplement their household expenses. They are overjoyed and send their children to the hospital.
Therefore, the business and craftsman school of Qingyi Academy were unexpectedly popular. Not only did they have to worry about the source of students, Shen Rui also had to worry about whether he wanted to expand the school or build a branch school, and to classify craftsmen more carefully, such as carpenters and blacksmiths.
After the new policy on fining rice was released, not only Qingze, but Qingyi had a good opportunity to develop, but Shen Rui also took the opportunity to develop another business standard.
According to Shen Rui's idea, Tian Feng borrowed the name of the Kaifeng Escort Agency's semi-colon and formed the "Shufeng Bian" with Du Laoba.
At the beginning of the year, Tian Feng went to Shandong and paved the route there. Many "stations" were still under construction, so he was transferred to follow Zhao Hongpei to Shanxi.
This is also a way to open up the relationship between the world and recruit some good players to prepare for the Shanxi line that will be on the road in the future.
Now that there is a matter of fines for rice, many officials have been fined and lost to Datong. Shen Rui started the Shanxi line of the Biaohang in advance and Tian Feng took the lead in cooking along the way. Du Laoba controlled Shunfeng in Beijing.
The bidding company accepts grain and rice escort.
Only one-third of the food they deliver at home, but special escorts sent all the way to Datong Warehouse to ensure that all the procedures are complete. If the escort is lost, the Biaoshang Bank will be responsible for compensation.
Such conditions are considered favorable.
The trend of traveling in the wind was also very popular in Beijing, and the transportation network to Shanxi was initially established.
Shen Rui also privately suggested with Shou Ge that although fines for rice can alleviate the shortage of food in the nine borders, a simple fine of rice can easily lead to the price of rice in the land, especially those officials who have caused losses and losses in the border food and grass to be lost.
They were punished to export rice and grain to the local area, so they naturally would not choose to buy grain from Jiangnan, but would only raise grain in the local area. The local area was short of grain, and the price of grain soared because of their raising of grain. The people still miserable, so they lost the emperor.
The original intention of benevolence and goodness.
It would be better to let them do "good deeds" to atone for sins, such as building bridges and paving roads, or in the mountains and Shaanxi, they can dig wells.
If these people do not have enough pockets and inaction, they will not cause damage to their warehouses. It is also a matter of being able to cut off the wealth and benefits the people from them.
The Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War had previously mentioned that in order to enrich the treasury, the border generals could also ask them to pave bridges and build roads in order to fill the treasury.
When the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War was about to sell official positions and titles, Shen Rui had suggested that Shouge could donate a certain amount of silver in the name of charity of building bridges and paving roads, and grant "honorary official positions" of the fifth to seventh ranks of ancestors of wealthy merchants.
This article has been tried to be implemented in several wealthy places in the south of the Yangtze River. Local gentry have the awareness of benefiting the countryside and often have good deeds. Now good deeds can also be exchanged for the effect of a "family family", and many wealthy businessmen are willing to do so.
Pay money for this.
This road is not built randomly. You cannot just open a mountain road and pay the bill, let alone repair it randomly. This must be planned by the court, from which section to which section, clearly mark the level of construction, and to what extent,
Acceptance can only be made after acceptance.
The amount of silver donated is also hidden in the road construction project funds, so as not to appear to be selling official positions, official ranks, and the number of people and the amount of money they have been awarded.
The trial operation of the Jiangnan base has been very gratifying in the financial situation and infrastructure construction that have been reported.
But then they are rich businessmen in Jiangnan. Only when they have free money and leisure will they consider family issues and are willing to spend this money for a "fair reputation".
In the border, survival issues are always in front of everyone, and no one will consider those false things.
So, in the road to Shanxi, please help those martial artists who want to atone for their sins and get promoted to the silver to practice.
In this way, large-scale road construction in Shanxi also has important strategic considerations. Once there is war, the speed of transportation of food and equipment in the mainland will be greatly improved.
Brother Shou was a little dissatisfied with the increase in grain prices before. In his opinion, it is imperative to fill the border warehouse first. If the border soldiers are hungry, they will not be able to defend the pass.
After hearing the strategic considerations later, he took it seriously and accepted Shen Rui's letter and expressed his willingness to discuss with the Cabinet and the Ministry of War.
Because there are precedents in road construction, Shen Rui's letter this time also asked Yang Tinghe and Wang Hua's opinions, and also discussed with Li Yanqing the possibility of road construction and well digging and some technical issues in Shanxi. The writing is detailed and solid.
Shen Rui is not worried about the cabinet's approval rate.
In addition, in response to the Ministry of War’s re-proposal of asking for the opening of the child to be imprisonment and the monks and Taoists gave the certificate of silver, Shen Rui’s suggestion was to refer to the taxation laws of the “scenic areas” in Xiyuan to open the monks and Taoist temples themselves to the temples with great incense.
The Taoist officials lack silver, and the commercial taxes for merchants around key scenic spots are also doubled according to actual conditions.
Brother Shou has no objection to this.
Since he talked with Shen Rui last time, he has really made Tianliangzi a name for Tianliang Temple in Xiyuan, and the picture is about this incense and silver.
Among the six stars of the Nandou Di, Tianliang Palace is the Lord of the Shousheng Star. Because of this good omen, many people will go to Tianliang Palace to worship and pray for the elderly in their families.
Tian Liangzi still couldn't get rid of his habit of giving medicine to others. Even though he was praised as the master of the gods, he was not reserved. Fortunately, even if his medicine was not good, it would not be bad. Occasionally, he took a few of them well.
It added his name to the immortal.
The old ladies in Beijing donated a lot of money for sesame oil and silver for longevity.
Shouge, who loves to make money, is very happy about it.
*
Liu Jin carried out his reform vigorously, and of course he did not let go of the person who plotted against him.
He first recruited Shao Jinfu, the Shaanxi Jieyuan, as his niece.
Shao Jinfu is also a handsome young prodigy, two years younger than Dai Dabin. Now this year, he won the Shaanxi Jieyuan in one fell swoop in the countryside examination, which caused a sensation.
However, he failed the exam this year and did not get a Jinshi, so he did not enter Liu Jin's sight.
When Li Jing's incident came out, Liu Jin knew that he could no longer recruit Dai Dabin, so he ordered his staff to go to the provincial capitals of Beibang to learn about the situation of the new Jinshi and find a good person for his niece.
Only then did I learn that Shao Jinfu was the man.
Because he was young, he was not defeated for the first time. He had a good mentality and was not very depressed. After failing the exam, he traveled for a few days, then packed his bags and returned to study hard.
Liu Jin sent someone to the prefecture and county to pass on messages, and then sent a matchmaker to the door. Under the threat, Shao Jinfu still obediently returned to Beijing to marry Liu Jin's niece.
As soon as the negotiation was completed, Shao Jinfu had not set off. Liu Jin in the capital had already made a statement, saying that his niece was going to marry the Shaanxi Jieyuan, a young talent.
The wedding was scheduled to be at the end of the year, and the wedding invitations were posted early, and all the civil and military officials in the court were kept. Regardless of whether they were happy or not, they would probably have to hold their noses and get a gift to the door.
First, Dai Dabin's poetry collection became popular, and then there was news of this well-known wedding. It was said that Liu Jin wanted to force Dai Dabin to be his son-in-law, but Li Jing died in the prison of the North Town Fushi.
No one mentioned the matter.
But how could Liu Jin not investigate? Especially after the establishment of the expert factory, he had his own team and was loyal and reliable. Liu Jin ordered the expert factory to investigate the cause of Li Jing's death and the anonymous book incident on the day of the Imperial Road.
The final conclusion was that the story of Li Jing was full of Qiu Ju's shadow. As for the anonymous book of the Imperial Dao, Qiu Ju couldn't escape it.
At this time, Liu Jin had a murderous intention towards Qiu Ju.
The other people who jumped out of the anonymous book of the Imperial Road, such as Huang Wei who came out to call out to all officials, Li Rong who gave ice jelly to all officials to buy people's hearts, and Chen Kuan, who ran to the imperial court to complain,
Zuzong Liu would not let go of any of them.
Huang Wei has the shallowest foundation. Liu Jin found a mistake and sent him to Nanjing to accompany Wang Yue.
Chen Kuan is a slippery man, and is surprisingly honest. He didn't expect to be so mean, but because he is honest and capable of doing things, he can't catch the wrong one for a while.
Li Rong is an old man from Silijian, so it takes some effort to deal with him.
However, before Liu Jin took action, Li Rong took the lead and submitted a memorial that the Jiaziku of the inner palace collected and stored three-blank shuttle cloth, which was originally dedicated to rewarding internal officials, but now he has been given a salary for civil and military officials, so that the warehouse is empty.
There is a lack of rewards, so begging officials to investigate.
This was also at the time of the investigation. The emperor sent Zhang Huai, the Left Young Supervisor of the Ministry of Revenue, to investigate the cases of Zhang Yun, the Censor Wang Zun, and Dong Rui, the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, to investigate those who had paid their salary.
After investigation, there were more than 86,600 traumas, and more than 9,500 traumas were owed. The internal and external officials should investigate, and there were 173 people.
During this period, many Liu Jin's people were brought with me, and half of them were dismissed from office and investigated and filed a prison in the custody of the vassal department.
Even Li Jue, the Minister of Works, was involved, but he was convicted less and was only robbed of his salary and fined him 100 stones of rice.
Because this matter is very involved, Liu Jin can no longer protect everyone. After all, he was defeated and it is useless for Liu Jin to lose his temper.
However, the staff gave him a trick, asking him to use his strength to fight, and also put the matter on Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju's business business outside is not a secret. In other words, which eunuch has no property under his name!
Qiu Ju stuffed Luo Xiang into the Imperial Horse Prison and then took Zhang Yonggong to Shanxi, but his eyes were still fixed on the imperial shop.
Liu Jin's expert factory suppressed Dongchang while investigating Qiu Ju. He first dragged the silk and satin farm under Qiu Ju's name into the water by taking advantage of Li Rong's three-screw cloth incident, but not only found three in the cloth warehouse.
The shuttle cloth has the best literary style woven by Jiangnan, and it is not one or two batches.
Such things are clearly taken out of the tribute, which is clearly the case of the heterodyne who has increased the amount of tribute and asked for tribute, and the private pockets that are retained.
Following this group of Wenqi to investigate south, Qiu Ju once helped Cui Gao, the young supervisor of the Inner Officer, settled the matter of Yan Yin, and accepted Cui Gao's bribes for tribute, but was held in Liu Jin's hand.
.
In fact, Cui Gao was Liu Jin's person at that time, and Cui Gao's godson Tan Liang was also the first Liu Jin to ask for it.
But at that time, the court was always focused on this matter. Zeng Jian, Minister of Works of the Ministry of Works, Han Wen, Minister of Revenue, and the Six Censors, and none of them were impeached by the thirteen censors. Even the three cabinet masters in the cabinet were all impeached.
Send a message.
When Liu Jin was forced to be a human being by Liu Jian and Xie Qian, he would not care about Cui Gao's life or death.
Unexpectedly, Tan Liang asked to come to Qiu Ju, and Qiu Ju could use Tan Liang to trap Wang Yue's nephew Wang Rui's words, and finally defeat Wang Yue.
When Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Wang Yue and others were waiting, Qiu Ju was his ally of Liu Jin. He ignored what methods Qiu Ju used. But now, he had to think about Qiu Ju's claws so long.
At that time, I reached into my own trap and dug people!
Since you dare to stretch out your thief's claws, don't blame your ancestors for chopping them down! Liu Jin was so cruel that he turned around and wrote a letter, leading him down from the salt to the bottom and tore him off.
Liu Jin first asked someone to expose Cui Gao for salt quotations, but actually got more than needed. Then he revealed that Cui Gao used the tributes purchased by salt quotations to mow gold, and Wen Qi was comparable to the quotations set in the palace.
The more, the more part is "disappeared".
Isn't this found in the silk and satin farm under Qiu Ju's name? The two confidant godsons of Qiu Ju's silk and satin farm were arrested on the spot and were imprisoned in the Northern Town Fushi Prison.
However, before Liu Jin could get the confession of the two, the two of them hanged themselves in prison.
The defense is so tight that they can still die, which shows that there are undoubtedly people in the North Town Fushi.
Then Li Jing's death was obviously also for Qiu Ju.
Liu Jin was furious and quickly reported that he had interviewed Du Cheng, a merchant from Yangzhou Lianghuai Transportation Bureau, and other merchants of Yangzhou Lianghuai Transportation Bureau, and piled up 1.16 million salts under his name. If it was not disposed of earlier, it would take a long time to get rid of the problem.
The dispatcher checked the market and saw that the number of silver was sold and sent to the warehouse.
Later, the harem issued an order, and the merchants took out salt, but there were still no traders who were buying and selling for three months, and they were asked to be punished. Those who were delayed for half a year and did not trade for the salt, and the salt was detained.
For a moment, the land of clearance had just begun to be implemented, and the investigation of salt was on the string.
This Yangzhou businessman Du Cheng was a newly emerging salt merchant after the fall of the Yan family.
The Yan family's case was handled by the Dongchang Factory, and the Yan family was copied by Qiu Ju's people. Du Cheng was naturally helped by Qiu Ju.
He was originally a salt-running person. He speculated and repeatedly purchased salt on the corners of the salt, sucked private salt, and hoarded private sales. What kind of thing he had never done before?
In addition to making another richest man in Yangzhou, these extra silver naturally flowed to the pockets of the capital and Qiu Ju.
*
"Look for someone and do the sent people halfway." Qiu Ju's eyes were so cold that it was so hot.
The kneeling confidant opposite him said anxiously: "Godfather, then... that is the court's court's court's court's censor..."
If someone is sent from the palace, kill and bury him, then he will be knocked down, and you can still have a seat to keep for your godchildren and grandchildren.
But if you kill the imperial court officials, it would be a different matter.
"If the court pursues the matter..." The confidant was already sweating faintly.
It wasn't that he was killed just by saying that he was killed. Two officials were killed in vain in the official road, and they were also responsible for the emperor's orders. How could the court not pursue the matter? That would be cut into pieces.
Aunt Zhen said from the side: "Then let's make Du Cheng. There are so many salt merchants in Yangzhou, so one more is to set up."
Her voice was as sweet as ever, but it caused a chill in people's ears.
Qiu Ju glanced at it and knew that she wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of the Du family, which replaced her Yan family, but she still said, "It's a way. I'll clean up the beginning and end."
The confidant was obviously relieved. Even if he was to destroy a salt merchant, it would be easier than to lose two imperial officials, and the risk would be smaller. "Then go find..."
"The Du family's business is done big, and it will always attract a few gangs to covet. Robbing and destroying the family is a habitual method of bandits." Aunt Zhen said slowly again: "After finishing, find an irrelevant person and submit a letter to Songjiang.
Xiao Shen said that his father Xiaozhong had an affair with his maid and gave birth to a child. The maid and child were both in our hands and asked him to go to Yangzhou to smooth out the case of the Du family's destruction."
The confidant was stunned when he heard this and kept going to see Qiu Ju.
Qiu Ju didn't even move his eyebrows.
"He is the niece of the queen mother, and his father-in-law, Taishan, is always walking sideways in Beijing. He is a top student, so he always has something to do with him." Aunt Zhen felt a little impatient and said, "Oh, what method can I use to do?
It's his business. If he says he can't do it, then even if the maid and child's affairs are on him, he will not have to do anything in the future."
The confidant looked at Qiu Ju's face. Seeing that Aunt Zhen finished speaking, he nodded slightly, then smiled and praised him with a smile: "My aunt is a good method. Son will do it now."
After sending away the confidant, Aunt Zhen helped Qiu Ju to massage her back and sighed in a low voice: "It's a pity that Xiaoshan was broken into prison. Otherwise, he would have handled Songjiang's affairs and could be handled. More neat.”
Qiu Ju thought of the people who were in the North Town Fushi, and felt a pain in his hands. Li Jing first asked Liu Jin and Yang Yu to dig out the nails he buried. This time, the open line was damaged and the hidden line was broken. There are not many people under my command who can use it.
Liu Jin, the Forgetful Balaozi, was so powerful that the Dongchang was breathless. Now he is coming to dig up his private property and destroy him. Is he going to kill all the people who destroy him?
Li Jing is a waste! He won’t succeed enough to make trouble!
And, Shen, Rui!
Qiu Ju bit his back teeth. Shen Rui is really his nemesis. He is everywhere? If it weren't for Shen Rui's bad things, Li Jing would have succeeded, and Liu Jin would have been chased by the censor for impeachment. Now! How could the emperor still believe him?
There is also the matter of anonymous book! If Shen Rui and Chen Kuan hadn't run out to mess up halfway, if one or two old men died that day, Liu Jin's head would have been simply unstoppable!
Counting further, the things that Shen Rui and Zhang Yong joined forces were all made by Qiu Juhuo.
Shen Rui, Shen Rui, this disaster must be eliminated.
Shen Rui, Shen Rui, you can’t kill the refugees, right? Then let’s change to something else!
Qiu Ju narrowed his eyes and asked the outsider to call his other confidant, and ordered: "You go and send a letter to Pei Yuanhe yourself. When the He family communicated with the Japanese, he asked him to investigate the man surnamed Sun. Find out some problems? Let him continue digging for me..."
Fifty or sixty years ago, Humph, then I will hit that matter, I won’t believe it, this will not kill you...
