Chen Wenhui watched the progress of various affairs in Shanghai City while adjusting his own manpower. At the same time, he is also paying close attention to the movements of Jiangnan officialdom. This time, the involvement is actually bigger than the case of the abolished prince. It's right to think about it, at least the abolished prince didn't interfere in the affairs of the court, but what about the King of Qi, he controls the officials of the court, what does this ministry do, it is the place where the officials of the world are assessed and promoted. When King Qi was there, he was trying to pull in his own forces, as long as the official was to take refuge in him, as long as he was given enough benefits, he would be promoted to this official, at least it was an excellent assessment. As for those who did not give him gifts, they could only be demoted, or even convicted. In this way, the officials in Jiangnan naturally took refuge in him, and there were very few honest ones.

In addition to these officials, there are also scholars and scholars. According to the scholarly family, there should be fewer people who take refuge in the King of Qi, no, this is something that was not there when the prince was abolished, that is, the King of Qi is diligent and studious, and his staff are all well-known bachelors and celebrities in the world, so many scholars are inclined to King Qi. Of course, with the King of Qi, the King of Qi treats them well and gives them officials, so that the scholars who were originally pure in their hearts and few desires, and the scholarly families have also been contaminated with copper odor and have changed. This time, of course, it was also unlucky.

Chen Wenhui looked coldly at the crowds in the officialdom in Jiangnan, and just sneered. In fact, the rule of officials in this Great Chu has long been corrupt, and there are many corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and they are too much to kill. And that's not even the most hateful. After all, thousands of miles for officials are only for money, and those who are greedy as officials are not afraid at all, as long as there is moderation, as long as they can do something practical for the people. However, most officials only know how to form cliques and only know about corruption and bribery. where to care whether the people live or die?

Not enough, I saw too much, and Chen Wenhui also found a problem. It is the three major provinces of Suzhou Province, Heyang Province, and Huzhou Province, and the officials of Huzhou Province are more clear than the government, and the families and officials die less. Get to the bottom of it. Or is it because Huzhou is the place where Chen Yuanheng made his fortune. The Chen family has been operating here for many years, and the officials up and down were carefully selected by Chen Yuanheng at the beginning, therefore. Most of them are not bad. In addition, the assassin history of Huzhou is Huang Tingzhen, that is, the father of Chen Wenhui's friend Huang Yuyan, he was raised by Chen Yuanheng and succeeded Chen Yuanheng as the assassin of Huzhou. Therefore, Huang Tingzhen followed Xiao Gui Cao in office. It has always been the good governance of Chen Yuanheng's time. Therefore, Huzhou has become more and more prosperous in recent years, the economy is active, and the people's lives have also improved. And the officialdom is much better, and it is unlikely to be completely clean, but it is still much better than several other provinces.

Chen Wenhui is still very happy to see this phenomenon. Actually, in a previous life. She hated corrupt officials. It's just that in her previous life, she didn't have the ability to change. She is just a white-collar worker in a large company, where can she influence the officialdom? But this life is different, in this life, Chen Wenhui was born in a family, and she came into contact with the emperor, queen, prince, prince, palace concubine, princess, family nobles and other core figures of power. Chen Wenhui has this ability to change this corruption, and of course he will not sit idly by.

It's just that in the politics of Dachu, Chen Wenhui is still not very able to intervene, Chen Wenhui saw these phenomena, studied them carefully, and hoped to avoid them as much as possible when governing Nanyang in the future. Therefore, Wen Hui's life is not boring at all.

Gradually, in the officialdom of Jiangnan, the nobles of the family have understood that the power of life and death is not in the hands of the so-called assassin Shi, the most important thing is the people of the Ma family. The Ma family has been entrenched in Jiangnan for so many years, and there are a lot of old relatives, so they really begged him to invite them, and the Ma family couldn't let it go. Ma Mingsong is a smart man and understands that this round of anti-corruption can only be carried out here, and if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and it cannot be done too much. He asked the emperor for instructions, and then ended these anti-corruption activities and returned to Shanghai, and the patrol also returned to the capital to resume his life.

By the time Ma Mingsong returned to Shanghai City, he was already tired, but his eyebrows were full of joy.

Chen Wenhui picked up the wind for him and said: "Brother Ma, you have worked hard and made great achievements, and you really deserve to be the emperor's most loyal courtier." ”

Ma Mingsong was also very happy, because this errand was done well, and the emperor specially commended him. His father also affirmed to him that his position in the emperor's mind and in the Ma family was much more stable. In addition to these, Ma Mingsong also has unspeakable happiness. It's the people who have had holidays with him in the past, and they have almost cleaned up this time. I believe that the Ma family will be more stable in Jiangnan in the future.

Hearing Chen Wenhui say this, Ma Mingsong said with a smile: "It's all for the imperial court, where can it be regarded as hard work." ”

Chen Wenhui saw that the people who were waiting for a while had gone to serve the food, so she asked quietly: "This time, Brother Ma not only cleared up the atmosphere among the officialdom and wealthy gentry in Jiangnan, but also brought in a lot of money for the imperial court, right?" ”

Ma Mingsong said with a smile: "I remember, you used to take advantage of the last disaster relief to buy a lot of shops and fields for family raiders." What's the matter, do you want to buy some more now? ”

When Chen Wenhui bought a shop in Suzhou City before, she accepted the advice of the Ma family and received help from the Ma family. It's just that later, those shops and fields were disposed of by Chen Wenhui. Now Chen Wenhui has no interest in investing in China, but this is not easy to say, so he said: "I have the intention to buy some, which is unavoidable, but unfortunately, I am nervous at hand." ”

Ma Mingsong asked strangely: "You are the richest girl in our Dachu, where can you be nervous?" ”

Chen Wenhui said with a smile: "Actually, it's not that there is really no money, it's that the money has been invested on Luzon Island, and for a while, there is still a shortage of money?" Where do you have the spare money to do this kind of investment that can't see immediate benefits? ”

Ma Mingsong suddenly realized, and said with some pity: "Oh, it's a pity." I believe you have also read it from the Di newspaper, this time the raid is more than your last disaster relief investigation, but there are many harvests, the emperor's treasury is full, and there is a lot of vacant land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the most is the shop, which is a good location that can't be bought with money on weekdays. ”

Chen Wenhui laughed and said, "This is really Heshen falling, Jiaqing is full." ”

Ma Mingsong asked a little strangely: "Who is He Shen?" Who is Jiaqing? ”

Chen Wenhui realized that she had said something wrong, and said with a smile: "It's a sentence I heard in Ancheng before, and that's probably it." These corrupt officials made mistakes and raided their homes, but the emperor's treasury was enriched. ”

Ma Mingsong smiled, he didn't dare to judge state affairs at will like these family girls.

Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, I think Brother Ma can have a relationship with the emperor." Where did the corrupt officials, local tyrants and gentry accumulate wealth? It's all the people's fat and people's ointment, and all of them go to the emperor's treasury at once, some of them are not good, and some benefits should be shared to the people, such as exempting some harsh taxes for a few years, giving the people a respite. Or run a few more hospitals, give free medical treatment to the poor, and more than a few more Yangshan Halls, take care of widows and loneliness, so that the common people can also taste the sweetness, so that there are not more people who support the emperor's decision, and there are not more people who hate those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, local tyrants and inferior gentry. This is the will of the people. More useful than any gold, silver, and jewelry. Besides, in recent times, I think the emperor's income has increased a lot, and he probably doesn't need these icing on the cake treasures, land and the like. ”

Ma Mingsong's heart moved, this is a good idea, think about it, if he plans it well, and brings up this matter with the emperor tactfully, thinking about it, the emperor and the prince will look at him differently. In the past, the emperor thought that their Ma family could only make money for the emperor and inquire about the news, and never wanted to let the people of the Ma family go out of the court to be officials. If it weren't for the construction of Shanghai City, where would the Ma family be on the right path? Now, if this Jian yì is done well, maybe it will open the door to politics for the Ma family.

In addition to this, the Ma family has always been criticized because they are salt merchants, and any scholar can look down on them. is that Ma Lexuan is now the prince Liangdi, and in the prince's mansion, he will still be looked down upon by those daughters of the family, and even Aunt Li, who was born in a scholar's family. The root cause is that their family is born as a businessman, a nouveau riche, a retainer of the emperor, and an identity as a slave. If the Ma family can embark on a career in office, and this construction is adopted, the people of the world will all benefit, and they will naturally be grateful to him.

Ma Mingsong was thinking about it here, and Chen Wenhui asked: "Brother Ma, I don't have any spare money to buy these, have you bought them all?" ”

Ma Mingsong hurriedly said: "Our Ma family doesn't buy much. Because we had a lot of shops and fields in Jiangnan, we didn't like those treasures very much, but we just picked a few special ones and bought them, and didn't buy anything else. Most of our family's money is invested in the northwest, and we don't have any spare money. By the way, I know you've always loved to collect precious medicinal herbs. This time, I deliberately kept all those precious medicinal materials, and you sent someone to buy them. I said hello to the assassins of the three provinces. ”

Chen Wenhui was very happy when she said this. Those lands, treasures, and shops, Chen Wenhui really didn't look at them, but this medicinal material is hard to find, especially the precious medicinal materials that are old, such as century-old ginseng and the like. This Ma Mingsong is too good at doing things, and it is not in vain that she has been staying in Shanghai City for so long. (To be continued)
