Chapter 557: Songjiang
Feng Jingting seemed to wake up, opened his eyes to look at her, and continued to sleep, but he was not affected at all.
Guo Wenying sighed, got up and got dressed and walked out.
I tossed too hard last night, my spirit was quite weak, and my body seemed to be sore and uncomfortable. She stretched out her arm, and Hongxiang came over with washing utensils, "My lord, will you wash now?"
"Let's go to the study. ”
When she arrived at the study, after washing, she changed into her official uniform and went to the yamen.
I met with a few adults in the official office, arranged some important matters, and asked Lu Yiyu and Zhang Mingchang to come over to discuss the matter of checking salt. Since the emperor said that he would follow her, he obviously didn't want to care about anything, so she could only come according to her own wishes.
Zhang Ming said: "My lord, this salt is not easy to check, let's not talk about where to start, even the consequences of this investigation are also very serious." Last time, Lord Wu also moved the salt tax, so he was assassinated. ”
Guo Wenying said: "The left and right are to move, it is better to move later than to move early, and you can't leave it alone horizontally and vertically." "She wants to take advantage of the emperor's presence here to expose this matter, even if she pierces the sky, someone will support her. It's better than that in the end, all the fault is put on her alone.
Lu Yiyu pondered on the side and said, "It's not impossible to do this, I don't know where you want to start?"
Guo Wenying said: "Check the salt field, secretly summarize all the accounts of the salt field in recent years, and then compare it with the records of the government's entry and exit of salt, as well as how much salt is sent out by the imperial court, and the whereabouts of these salt leads must be checked from the beginning." ”
Zhang Mingchang pondered, "My lord, the workload is too large, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish the investigation for a while." ”
Guo Wenying nodded, "Then find some typical checks first, a few big salt farms first, and the Zhang family started with salt, I heard that the Zhang family has a huge wealth, and it can be called the richest man in the southeast, so let's start from here." ”
Although Zhang Mingchang and Lu Yiyu didn't say anything, they faintly felt that this matter was inappropriate, the relationship between the Zhang family in the southeast was intertwined, and the former governor Wu was assassinated because he moved salt, who knows if there is a figure of the Zhang family in this, I am really afraid that Guo Wenying will be in danger.
Guo Wenying is not very afraid of this, since she dares to make a move against the Zhang family, she is not afraid of retaliation. She had spent nearly ten years licking blood with swords, and if she had been afraid of the intertwined forces in the southeast, she would not have come here in the first place. Others didn't dare to touch the Zhang family, but she dared. As for her personal safety, Feng Jingting is here, and those people who want to move her have to weigh it carefully.
As soon as this matter was ordered, Jiang Mao and Jiang and his entourage came, and the two mainly came to discuss the construction of the wharf and the maritime yamen. The wharf in Quanzhou is halfway completed, and construction has begun on Songjiang Prefecture, where another wharf was built.
The fundraising at the wharf is progressing very quickly, and all the money has been raised months in advance, and as early as a few days ago, the temporary wharf contracted by Fang Yuntang has also been completed and will be put into operation in a few days. Jiang Mao meant to transfer some small boats with a small draft to transport urgent supplies first.
Guo Wenying is in favor of this matter, Jiang Mao is reliable, and these small details are still at ease. It's just that what she didn't expect was that Fang Yuntang would build the temporary wharf so quickly, she thought it would be delayed until next month. From this point of view, Fang Yuntang is really capable, and if the maritime yamen is completed in the future, he can be appointed as the president of the Chamber of Commerce in Fujian.
In fact, she is also selfish about Fang Yuntang, she always feels indebted to him, and from her selfish heart, she wants to return the prosperity of the Fang family, and when the old man Fang helped her control the situation in the southeast, she should not have personally thanked her, or she should go to the Fang family another day.
With an idea in her heart, Jiang Mao and Jiang and his entourage told her about the preparatory work of the maritime yamen, and Jiang and his entourage were supervising the construction of the maritime yamen in Quanzhou Mansion these days.
Quanzhou is located in a remote area, the economy is underdeveloped, and there are not many buildings in the city that can be seen, so it is impossible to find a suitable house for reconstruction, and all the construction of yamen is a new one. A large number of residential buildings were demolished and built on the main street, not far from the Quanzhou Mansion.
When Jiang Mao talked about this, his face could not hide his joy, after all, the maritime yamen would be his in the future. He said: "My lord, the maritime yamen is now almost completed, and the craftsmen have been working all night long, and when they are tired, they will replace another batch, and it will be completely completed by the end of the year." ”
Guo Wenying nodded and said, "Then it's hard work for the two adults." ”
Seeing that it was almost noon, and the fortifications in the yamen were almost done, she was worried that Feng Jingting was still in the mansion, leaving such a big Buddha, and she was really afraid that he would be unhappy.
Jiang Mao couldn't help laughing when he saw that she was leaving: "My lord, let's come here so easily, don't we even care about lunch?"
Jiang and his entourage are here, how dare Guo Wenying lead him to the inner courtyard, he is not afraid that the ancestor will be jealous. She hurriedly said: "Another day, you guys are busy as soon as possible, and then go back to Quanzhou." ”
Jiang and his entourage smiled, "Since the adults are busy, don't bother." He has a gentle temperament and doesn't care about it, so he pulls Jiang Mao and walks out.
Guo Wenying saw that they were gone, so she turned around and went to the backyard.
At this time, the dining room in the backyard had already set up a meal, and Feng Jingting was sitting on a recliner in the middle, holding his chest with his hands, but he looked like an old god was there. When he saw Guo Wenying coming in, he raised his eyebrows rarely, "Wenying, you are calling your master for this office matter." ”
Guo Wenying didn't seem to be unhappy when she saw him, so she smiled and asked him what he had done.
Feng Jingting said: "It's nothing, I drank tea for a while and played chess with Qi Jin for a while." ”
Guo Wenying almost laughed, she knew Qi Jin's chess skills, only worse than her, never better than her, how boring he was, he actually played chess with Qi Jin.
Feng Jingting saw her laughing, and couldn't help frowning: "Jiaojiao, it's so easy for me to come once, so I just take the time to accompany me." "He hasn't been so idle since he's grown up, and he didn't break into the official room today, which is already very face-saving for her.
This year, the two got together a lot, and it was easy to get together, and she was busy, which made him live like a deep resentful woman. At this point, he finally understood why she didn't like to stay in the harem, it was really boring.
Guo Wenying said: "I'm really busy, the affairs here are one after another, and I have to deal with them before I can return to the palace as soon as possible." If the emperor feels bored, find someone to accompany you, Jiang Mao is here today, he shouldn't have left yet, he played chess well. ”
Feng Jingting snorted, "I'm afraid it's not only Jiang Mao who is here, but also others." ”
Guo Wenying secretly thought, he has a lot of ears, and he knows everything very clearly. Jiang and his entourage showed their faces and were worried about him.
