Ruan Dacheng suddenly changed his mind, which was beyond the expectations of Huang Zongxi and Ma Shiying, but the smart Wang Zhizheng did not feel strange. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBecause for a person like Ruan Dacheng, he lacks nothing, and the reason why he has not achieved anything in half his life is because of a lack of opportunities.

This time, Wang Zhizheng's plan is a shocking project, the first is to transform the Fushe into a money-making machine, so as to continuously squeeze wealth from the hands of the southeastern clan, which will be used to fund the national treasury and subsidize the economic crisis of the empire. The second is to turn all the brothels in Qinhuai River into a tax to the empire by local officials.

Of course, reaching out to the Qinhuai River is just a process, and then it is necessary to control all the industry and commerce in the southeast, which is not tantamount to naked robbery for the southeast clan.

Originally, Ruan Dacheng was resistant, and if he did so, he would inevitably offend the Southeast clan in the end, maybe Wei Zhongxian's fate would be his future, but seeing that Ma Shiying was about to do this next errand without hesitation, he understood that such an opportunity. Missed it. There will never be a chance.

Although it will offend the Southeast family, offend the Fushe, and offend Donglin, but follow Wang Zhizheng to do a big show, no matter what, the boss behind the scenes is still Emperor Chongzhen, if he chooses between the imperial power and the family, he would rather choose the imperial power to fight, he is already forty-five years old, for a Ming Dynasty person, forty-five years old, is almost old, and if you don't do it again, you can only have a muddy past for a lifetime.

Wang Zhizheng heard Ruan Dacheng's statement, and he was not in a hurry, he took a sip of tea, then smiled, and said: "Third uncle, don't be reluctant, you are different from us, I am from the family of the capital city, Lord Ma Shiying is not from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we are not from the southeast family, but you are different, you are the Jiangnan family, you are here to do this, is it appropriate to love you?!"

Ruan Dacheng suddenly became righteous and said: "Master Hou, I, Ruan Dacheng, have stumbled for half of my life, although I am not short of gold and silver, but I have never made any achievements, I am forty-five years old, most of my life has passed, and if I don't do anything, I am afraid that the years will not forgive people! In order to be able to assist the society, I think my choice is right!"

Ma Shiying sincerely admonished: "Brother Ruan, I also think you are not suitable, the procuratorate Zuodu Yushi, this errand, you should have some understanding, under normal circumstances, it is specialized in the Beijing bureaucracy, Jinling is the southern Zhili, and the Zuodu Yushi is the big bureaucrat of Jinling, if I take this errand, I won't be able to mix in Jinling in the future, and you will still be an official in another place, you will be different, you are from Jiangnan, the roots are here, someone wants to rectify you, where are you going?"

Ma Shiying and Ruan Dacheng have formed an irreversible friendship, both of them are of the same age, and they are both mature people who have experienced vicissitudes, and they are very speculative. Ma Shiying is deeply righteous and has been up and down in the sea for many years, there is no backstage foundation, so there is no big achievement, he is not very ambitious, he has been an official in the local area, and he has been like duckweed for half his life.

Ruan Dacheng is diametrically opposed to him, his background is super good, the starting point is super high, the teacher is Gao Panlong, the big man of Donglin, the big Confucian Zuo Guangdou of Donglin, and he is from the Ruan family of Tongcheng, but he is unlucky, and he has been a victim of the big guys.

Ruan Dacheng and Ma Shiying felt that their resources could complement each other's advantages, and the two reached a tacit understanding.

Ma Shiying admires Wang Zhizheng very much, in his opinion, following Wang Zhizheng's steps, he will inevitably be able to walk out of an unusual path, but Ruan Dacheng only treats Wang Zhizheng as a ladder of advancement, and in terms of Wang Zhizheng's opinion, Ruan Dacheng is obviously not as mature as Ma Shiying.

Ruan Dacheng listened to Ma Shiying's words and felt that his nose was sour, so he smiled and said: " Brother Ma, thank you for thinking about me, but I am different from you, although I was born in Donglin, but in the southeast, notorious, although Hou Ye forced me to arrange me into the Fu Society, but everyone is just looking at Hou Ye's face, there is no way to tear his face directly, there is a saying: Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water, I have no hope, so I don't care about these, you are different from me, you have to cherish the feathers, if you can be ambitious in the future, you can take your brother with you, it would be better. ”

Wang Zhizheng smiled slightly, pointed at Ruan Dacheng and said: "The third uncle is telling the truth, the reason why I recommended you is to take this into account, Lord Ma Shiying, now that your career is stable, so you can't do risky and difficult things, if the third uncle is willing to do it, I can promise that the emperor will not treat you badly." ”

Ruan Dacheng shook his hand and smiled bitterly: "I was originally a traitor to Donglin, so what's the harm if I do it again." ”

Wang Zhizheng looked at Ruan Dacheng and thought: It's not easy for him, in order to get ahead, people in their forties and fifties are still taking risks and making difficulties, if they follow him this time, they must not become Shen Shaoxian's second.

Huang Zongxi listened to the dialogue between Ruan Dacheng and Wang Zhizheng, and couldn't help but feel a little confused in his outlook on life: Is the Donglin Party really so unbearable? Is the struggle of the fathers really so worthless, today, this traitor to the Donglin Party is so tragic and generous, and Wang Zhizheng seems to treat Ruan Dacheng like a hero, he seems to have some understanding, why did the emperor condone Wei Zhongxian so much to harm the Donglin Party, in some aspects, the Donglin Party and the emperor are indeed opposites!

Huang Zongxi didn't speak because he was upset, just lowered his head and drank tea, Wang Zhizheng noticed the distress of this little brother, so he stretched out his hand and patted Huang Zongxi and said, "Taichong, do you think that what I did was wrong?"

Huang Zongxi raised his head and looked at Wang Zhizheng, who had always respected him as a teacher, and couldn't help but feel even more uneasy in his heart, he finally couldn't help but say: "Brother Wang, I think that what you say and what you honor is a major matter loyal to the emperor and righteous, but I don't understand, is it true that the Donglin Party and the Fushe are really a resistance to the Taiping of the Daming Society?"

Wang Zhizheng knew that if he wanted Huang Zongxi to follow him sincerely, he had to spread out some words.

He nodded and said bluntly: "From a certain point of view, yes!" At least, the Jinling bureaucrats, more or less are relying on the power of the Donglin Party to take advantage of the robbery, think about it, now the thieves, Liao, disaster relief, everywhere need money, Jinling bureaucrats, the Jiangnan clan is a dime, if you don't use some means, how can you maintain the health of the community, you think, the Ming Dynasty has never touched their interests for two or three hundred years, but now that they have reached this step of the field, they are not willing to pull out a hair and benefit the world, is it that the turmoil has spread to Jiangnan, will they have a good time?"

Huang Zongxi pondered.

He smiled: "My father often told me that if the king does something wrong, don't be afraid of angering Long Yan, and fight when you should fight." The king has difficulties, but he has to solve them at any cost, and now, I didn't do it, but the Hou Ye did it!"

Wang Zhizheng said with a smile: "No, your father is different from the Jinling officials, he, Zuo Ge Lao, these are all Donglin talents who have been used in the world, what Ling Zun said is the words of the countryman, I didn't do it, and it is not as great as Ling Zun said, I just think that the turmoil in the world, up to the kings and doctors, down to the thousands of Li people, will not have a good ending, and the stability of the world is the principle that I think should be adhered to!"
