Chapter 404: The eldest son

What Cai Bian said has actually been brewing underneath, and now it's just a process.

After finishing speaking, he took out a list of eight styles and circulated it to everyone, and at the same time said: "This is the list of greetings, you see, if there is anything missing, or inappropriate." ”

Everyone was silent for a moment, took the list, and looked at it carefully.

Not everyone can go to the 'Yingjia', and those who can go have to participate in the subsequent 'big feast', which is a reward feast, and if you can appear on that occasion, you will be more or less stained!

It indicates that in the new changes in the court situation, it will occupy a place!

This list is very comprehensive, covering the current officials, celebrities of the government and the opposition, honorable ministers, relatives of the clan, and so on.

The crowd silently examined the list and did not speak.

This list has been brewing for some time, and the key point is still stuck on the 'old party'.

Wang Cun originally frowned, but when he saw some names, he gradually loosened, some of them were related to Empress Meng, or those related to Empress Dowager Gao were on the list, and his expression was even more relaxed.

He quietly glanced at Zhang Dian and Cai Bian, these two people are still sensible, if this list sends Empress Meng and related people, something big may happen!

Cai Bian waited for a while, and when he saw that no one spoke, he said: "Since there is no opinion, then it is decided, Li Shangshu, you will redraft it later, stamp it with a big seal, send it to Renming Palace, and ask the queen to decide." ”

Li Qingchen bowed down and said, "Your Majesty will receive the order." ”

Zhang Dian took a sip of tea and said, "Speaking of going back, the matter of Kaifeng Mansion is now full of problems, and we must focus on solving them." Before the official family returns to Beijing, it is necessary to start a large-scale division of land, register the households, issue new household plates, subject to the household plates, press the fingerprints, and in the future, if they find out that they are hiding or exposing themselves, they will be severely punished, regardless of the common people or the ......gentry."

'Party struggle' is always 'not on the table', and the meetings of the political affairs hall must be classified as political affairs after all.

The top management of the imperial court is sorting out and planning for the remaining months, and at the same time preparing for next year.

The Great Song Dynasty has always had a tradition of changing the yuan, and whenever there is a major event, it must be basically changed.

And Zhao Xu's Yuan You was determined by the Empress Dowager Gao, and with the return of the 'New Party', Zhao Xu's personal expedition won a complete victory, and changing the Yuan was already an indispensable option in everyone's hearts.

Everyone restrained their emotions and began to seriously discuss the 'Kaifeng Mansion Pilot'.

During the period of Xining and Yuanfeng, the 'Wang Anshi Reform', seeking great perfection, after more than 20 years, was finally abolished by Sima Guang and others overnight. And the 'Kaifeng Mansion Pilot', but only a year, has exposed many problems, a small city has made the imperial court stumbling, you can imagine what kind of resistance it will face if it is rolled out!

This meeting lasted for two hours, and everyone left the government hall hungry and left the palace one after another.

Along the way, several people gathered together in twos and threes, still discussing various things.

Wang Cun didn't want to be isolated, so he pulled Liang Tao and said, "Liang Shangshu, the dredging of the middle section of the Huai River has begun, you can't hold on to this money and grain......

Liang Tao smiled bitterly and said: "Wang Shangshu, I just allocated you a million yuan two months ago, I know that you have a lot of money, but there are only a few places where I come to money, you stare at me every day, I have to have it......"

Wang Cun took his arm and said: "Sixty thousand people, all kinds of materials, tools, are waiting to be fed, the following more than a dozen letters a day, the governors of Huainan Road, Jingxi Road, prefects at all levels, prefects and counties, are almost coming to Kaifeng......"

Liang Tao wanted to push his hand away, but he held it too tightly, and he really couldn't help it, and said: "Wang Shangshu, to put it this way, this month, don't expect to get money from me, the household department is about to bottom, and is preparing to borrow money......"

Wang Cun looked incredulous, and said: "The official family won a big victory this time and brought back millions of loot, but it was all handled by your household department, and the 200,000 yuan of emergency money will always be there......"

Liang Tao naturally refused, and the two of them pulled out of the palace.

Out of the Xuande Gate, Wang Cun didn't bother much, and went straight to the waiting carriage.

Inside the carriage, the right attendant Chen Xun was already waiting.

Wang Cun originally had a smile on his face, and as soon as the carriage was tightened, he became gloomy, and after sitting down, he stared at Chen Xun with round eyes and said: "I ask you, whether there is corruption in the Ministry of Industry, I want to listen to the truth!" ”

Zhang Dan's words just now alerted him, as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, it is impossible to cover everything, it is not strange that there is corruption below, but to what extent!

Chen Xun saw that the carriage was moving, so he leaned in and whispered: "The lower officials have checked, and there are a few people from the Ministry of Industry who have taken the deductions, the amount is not big but not small. The principals of various places, plus local officials, and even the leaders of the people in various river sections and sections, have taken it, and the lower officials have estimated it, but the total number may exceed 500,000 guan ...... in the past six months."

Wang Cun's face changed suddenly, and his eyes erupted with flames, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour!

In the past six months, three million yuan has been allocated from the Ministry of Industry, which is one-sixth of what has been embezzled, and this is still what Chen Xun can find, who knows how many there are secretly!

Seeing Wang Cun's anger, Chen Xun thought for a while, and said: "In addition, there is a lot of stretching out your hand to this money, and the merchants related to it, the officials, the gentry passing by, and even the ruffians along the road......"

Wang Cun's face turned blue, and he said: "I want you to solve all these things for me before the official family returns to Beijing, remember, it is a solution, not a press, can you do it?" ”

Chen Xun's face was solemn, and he asked rhetorically: "Shangshu, but the two prime ministers have put pressure on you?" ”

Wang Cun looked unsightly, and said: "It's not strange that they are protecting He Yi, but they seem to know more about the project of the Ministry of Industry than we do, and the Criminal Department and the Yushitai are already ready to intervene, you have to act quickly, you must not let them catch the big handle, and speed up the progress, after the official family comes back, I will pay tribute to the official family!" ”

Is it to divert the attention of the government and the opposition through this incident?

Chen Xun thought in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay, Xiaguan will go out of Beijing today and take care of these things!" ”

Wang Cun nodded, his expression was more relaxed, but his eyes were more solemn, and said: "He Yi's matter, don't get involved with the Ministry of Industry for the time being, let them make trouble, I always feel that if this matter continues, Zhang Dian and others will be ruthless." ”

He Yi was recommended by Li Qingchen, Zhang Dian and Cai You have seen it in person, and if the satisfied person overturns, it will be a slap in the face, and there will be countless consecutive slaps in the back!

Therefore, Zhang Dian and the others will definitely protect He Yi, and they will also fight back violently!

Chen Xun responded, glanced outside, leaned closer and whispered: "Xia Guan tried to contact Xia Meng Tang, this young man was very vigilant, and he looked respectful and far away, I tried to say a word, and he blocked it back without hesitation." ”

Wang Cun glanced at him, his expression was a little inexplicable, and said, "I saw it in the political hall just now, and that Meng Tang was following behind Zhang Dan. ”

Chen Xun's expression was slightly startled, and he quickly calmed down again, and said tentatively: "What's the matter here?" ”

Wang Cun was also thinking about it, shook his head, and said, "Zhang Dian and the others don't like the queen's mother, as we all know, he pulled Meng Tang to his side, probably to warn us that we still have a mother...... Ignore Meng Tang first, let me say another thing, if Niangniang gave birth to a prince, that is, the eldest son, we have to prepare early! ”
