"Mr. Wang!"

"Brother Zishi!"

When Gui Cao saw Wang Yuan again, he suddenly felt embarrassed, as if he had returned to the time of the palace in the capital again.

He studied hard for more than ten years, and fought his way out of the siege in the great province of Nakeju in Jiangxi. coincided with the chaos of Liu Liu and Liu Qi in Gyeonggi, and the emperor came up with a question to test the policy of governing the country and the country, and Gui Cao wrote a bunch of reform opinions.

As a result, it's.

Gui Cao only got three Jinshi exams, and Wang Yuan, who also talked about reform, won the top prize in high school in one fell swoop!

On the day of the legend, the roll call in front of the Fengtian Temple, Honglu Temple Qing led Wang Yuan to take the lead, and Gui Cao could only kneel behind with other Jinshi. Then went east out of Chang'an Gate, and everyone was taken away by the officials, except for Wang Yuan, who was personally led out of the city by Shuntian Mansion Yin.

That scenery scene made all the Jinshi in Zhengde's six years firmly remember Wang Yuan's childish face.

A few years have passed, this face has become more mature, there is a cyan stubble under the chin, and there is a bit of majesty in his gestures.

Gui Cao met with Wang Yuan and talked about some interesting things back then, such as vomiting on the spot at the Qionglin banquet, and forgetting to return the Jinshi uniform to Guozijian and so on.

came and went, and the two got a lot closer.

"Zishi, this time there is another person who came to Hangzhou in the same year, let's go and have a feast together." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Gui Cao is naturally good: "President Wang, please!" ”

The two of them got out of the land temple and rode into the city, and local people took the initiative to greet them from time to time along the way.

Gui Cao said with emotion: "President Wang has been in Hangzhou for less than two months, and he has already won the hearts of the people here. ”

Wang Yuan smiled and said, "I didn't do anything. It's just that the road was built in Beiguan and the port was built in the east of the city, and not a single servant was allowed to be levied, and the people were hired to work with enough money, and the wages were not deducted every day. Our son, who was even more powerful in the same year, actually killed the eunuch who guarded Zhejiang Town, which made the order of Hangzhou City a must! ”

"What was that childhood?" Gui Cao asked.

Wang Yuan explained: "The former Dali Temple commented on Chang Lun. This gentleman is all-round in civil and military affairs, jealous and hateful, offended the powerful in Dali Temple, and was demoted to the local state judge, so I brought him to Hangzhou to be the magistrate of Qiantang. ”

"I am also a member of my life!" Gui Cao suddenly gave birth to a heart connected to the same fate.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang set various regulations, he did not limit the height of private houses, as long as he had money and technology, he could build as many floors as he wanted.

The place where you want to eat today is called "Wangchao Tower", which is four stories high, and you can stand on the top floor and watch the tide of Qiantang over the city wall.

"Mr. Wang, please inside!" Even the shopkeeper actually knew Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan casually introduced: "This is Renhe Guizhi County, your parents official. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "It turned out to be the county lord in person!" ”

Wang Yuan came to the top floor, ordered some good wine and food, and said to Gui Cao: "I have a private treat, I don't use the public money, and I will rest when I get drunk today." Unfortunately, there is no shark fin, and that thing must be ordered in advance. ”

Gui Cao said: "The seafood is rare, and the fisherman must go to the sea to fight for his life, and he doesn't eat that bite." ”

The two chatted for a short time, and Chang Lun finally came, as well as Zhang Yue, the director of Nanguan, and Yu Zhi, the director of Beiguan.

Wang Yuan repeatedly introduced Chang Lun's deeds, and introduced the other three: "This is Gui Cao, the magistrate of Renhe County, who was the magistrate of Dantu County, checked the acres of land and cracked down on the gentry, so he was angry with Shangguan, was transferred to Qingtian, and resigned in anger. This is Cao Zhangyue, a worker in Nanguan, Zhejiang, who is known for his honesty and honesty, and once led troops to defend the city and kill the thieves. A local rich gentry complained about him, tied him up and went to the ministry to make false accusations, and inspected his belongings in front of the court, only a box of books and a bag of grain. This is Cao Yuzhi, a household in Beiguan, Zhejiang, who is true and very incorruptible, and the tariffs collected in one day are worth half a month of his predecessor! ”

Everyone immediately clinked glasses and introduced each other as confidants.

Only Yu Zhi was ashamed, the other three were really clean officials, and he was forced out of the clean officials.

After a drink, Wang Yuan began to get down to business: "Huode, it's time for Nanguan to change." In the past, only timber tariffs were collected, and in the future, they will follow the example of Beiguan to collect taxes. If the goods from the south are only transported to Hangzhou to the sea, then after collecting taxes, they will be issued with special customs clearance documents. If it is goods going north, everything will be as usual, and no tax will be levied at Nanguan. ”

Zhang Yue worried: "I'm afraid the household department will not agree." ”

"The Ministry of Industry can agree to it." Wang Yuan had already torn his face with the head of the household, although they hadn't met much.

The South Pass is managed by the Ministry of Industry, and the North Pass is managed by the Department of Households, and the income tax money is also put into their respective warehouses. Therefore, the Ministry of Industry also has money, and sometimes to build water conservancy, the Ministry of Industry needs to allocate funds by itself, and then find the Ministry of Households to allocate another amount.

Wang Yuan is now adding countless taxes and silver to the Ministry of Industry, and Li Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is a fool, and it is estimated that he wants to call Wang Yuan a father in his dreams.

Well, Li Qi is the Yellow River in Henan, blaming the governor of the river for sacrificing the wrong god. Moreover, Li Yi himself is a native of Henan, and he didn't think about building an embankment when his hometown was flooded, so he actually asked the governor of the river to sacrifice Hebo.

Wang Yuan said to Yu Zhi again: "Zizhen, your task is to take care of Beiguan, if the king of heaven wants to stretch out his hand, tell him to get away!" ”

What else can Yu Zhi say? Immediately arched his hand and said: "I will live up to the trust of the king's general system!" ”

Wang Yuan finally said to Chang Lun and Gui Cao: "Brother Mingqing, Brother Zishi, you two must guard the port. Hangzhou Port is under the jurisdiction of Qiantang and Renhe counties, and I am afraid that after I return to Beijing to resume my life, there will be people coming to the port, and you are under great pressure. ”

Gui Cao said: "Brother Mingqing and I are not under much pressure, the key to opening the sea lies in the commander and promotion of Hangzhou City." ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "The Admiral of the City Boss Division was appointed by His Majesty, and he is the right deputy imperial envoy Jin Xianmin. This old gentleman is from Sichuan and has nothing to do with maritime businessmen. Moreover, he was born in imperial history, and has inspected Yunnan, Shuntian, Tianjin, Huguang, Guizhou, Shandong, and Yansui, all of which are not troublesome. He came to supervise the Hangzhou City Bo Division, and I was more relieved. ”

In fact, Jin Xianmin is Yang Ting and his henchmen. Jiajing's great ceremony, hundreds of officials crying admonishment, it was this guy and Xu Wenhua who advocated together, and the political mind is really worrying.

But since the emperor personally appointed it, Wang Yuan always had to give Zhu Houzhao a few thin faces.

What can really make Wang Yuan feel at ease is He Jin, he said: "Hangzhou City Bo Si is He Jin, who once scolded His Majesty at the banquet for being a faint king. He also advocated reform and was in favor of opening up the sea. ”

"That's good!" Gui Cao breathed a sigh of relief.

Since he is a reform minister who dares to scold the emperor in person, and Wang Yuan is in the court, the matter of opening the sea will be stable, and he will not give up because Wang Yuan left Beijing halfway.

With these personnel arrangements, Hangzhou will be controlled by Wang Yuan.

It's a pity that the heads of Nanguan and Beiguan have to be changed once a year.

After Zhang Yue and Yu Zhi left office, Wang Yuan still had to ask for favors with Lu Wan, the secretary of the ministry, and at least in the next two years, he would choose the right person. After three years, Hangzhou will naturally be able to form a group of vested interests, and when the time comes, they will take the initiative to maintain the situation, and Wang Yuan will no longer have to worry about everything.

Now, it is only necessary to get rid of Li Long, the commander of Zhejiang!

Although Zhejiang can't build far-sea ships, it has the technology to repair ships. Most of the seagoing ships produced in Fujian are made of cedar wood, which is dilapidated in two or three years, and must be repaired from time to time, and the shipyards in Zhejiang are under the jurisdiction of the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division.

Not only that, but the Zhejiang Metropolitan Division and the Health Office are all profiteers from sea smuggling. It is necessary to share the benefits with them so that they will not destroy the situation of opening the sea in the future, and these cannot be bypassed by Li Long, the commander of Zhejiang.

That guy Li Long, since he met Wang Yuan on the first day, has now hidden himself and stopped talking.

After being full of wine and food, Wang Yuan returned to the Land Temple, and Tang Bohu suddenly came to see a widow.
