Although tens of millions of people have gone to me!

These words are from "Mencius, Gongsun Choushang", Gongsun Chou asked Mencius: Master and Son Gazi's prime minister, you have to do the way, although this is the overlord, it is not different. Is that tempting?

It is undoubtedly appropriate to quote this allusion at the moment.

The vested interests of the salt government are no longer the merchants who have no roots, there are not only royal relatives, but also local famous families, as well as important officials of the current dynasty, and so on.

If it weren't for Wu Shan's incorruptibility, then he would also be able to get a piece of the pie, and he could completely make profits through his younger brother Wu Huashou selling salt, thus becoming one of the beneficiaries of the salt administration.

These people, who are either on the stage or hidden in the audience, have become the beneficiary group of the current salt policy. Even though they knew that the imperial court was in financial distress, even though they knew that the price of salt was too low, they were still unwilling to give a penny more.

If Wu Shan openly exposed the low income of Yanzheng and opposed Xu Jie's restoration of the old system of Lianghuai, then there were indeed tens of millions of people who stopped him, and he would face unprecedented pressure.

Wu Shan is a Tanhualang in Jiajing for 14 years, he has been in the officialdom for more than 20 years, and he has been a Shangshu for six years, how can he not see the huge resistance here.

His face was very calm, he stroked his gray beard, looked at Lin Haoran seriously, and said: "If I really do this, I am afraid that you will also be implicated, and you will even be burdened by me, and you will not be able to touch the position of the first assistant for the rest of your life!" ”

The two are not only a teacher-student relationship, but also a son-in-law relationship, once Wu Shan expresses his political stance against the salt government, then Lin Haoran will be tied to this chariot together.

If they lose in this struggle, then Lin Haoran will definitely be suppressed by the conservatives led by Xu Jie, and his situation will be a hundred times more difficult than the failure of ordinary struggles.

There is a right and a wrong side of the line, but if the position is different, it is either the east wind pressing the west wind or the west wind pressing the east wind.

“*******，*******！” Lin Haoran's mind immediately flashed a famous sentence from Lin Zexu, and immediately responded with righteousness and awe.

These words are naturally for Wu Shan, and Lin Haoran has never been an official who sacrifices his life for righteousness. The reason for this choice is that this is the best way to "save" Wu Shan at the moment, and second, he is actually thinking about himself.

He is 21 years old this year, a 37-year-old jinshi in Jiajing, and has only been in officialdom for more than four years. Although he is already in the third rank of Shuntian Mansion Yin, his age and qualifications have become a shackle, and he can't compare with Li Chunfang and Gao Gong and others with strong age and qualifications.

If Lin Haoran wants to walk in front of Li Chunfang, Gao Gong and others, and wants to enter the cabinet in front of them to pay respects to the prime minister, then he can't line up honestly, he needs to find another way.

This sparked a dispute between reformers and conservatives, which undoubtedly favored his ascension.

If the political dispute between the two sides is hot, then he, the representative of the reformists, will not be questioned too much about his youth and seniority, but will focus on who will change the dilemma of the Ming Dynasty and bring the Ming to prosperity.

If the emperor wants to reuse the reformers, Lin Haoran will not say that he is entering the cabinet to worship the prime minister, and he will even have the opportunity to compete for the throne of the first assistant.

It is precisely like this, whether it is to keep Wu Shan, or for his personal future and political speculation, he needs to label himself as a reformist and fight with Xu Jie.

Of course, these things will only be buried in his heart. At present, he is a representative of the reformists who are worried about the country and the people, and he wants to help Wu Shan get rid of the current troubles, and persuade Wu Shan to stand up and promote the reform of salt administration and the opening of Jiangsu and Zhejiang to the sea.

*******，*******？

Wu Shan is not a roundworm in Lin Haoran's stomach, naturally he doesn't know his dirty thinking, after listening to these selfless words, he said with appreciation: "Your actions today really make me look at you with admiration!" ”

"The son-in-law is reading the book of sages, so he naturally wants to think about the people of the world wholeheartedly!" Lin Haoran touched his nose in embarrassment, but replied without changing his face.

Wu Shan stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup from the stone table, glanced at him and said seriously: "Two days later, Jiuqing's financial management meeting will be held, you should be mentally prepared!" ”

"I will!" Lin Haoran's face showed a solemn look, and he nodded seriously.

If Wu Shan threw out this point of view at the financial management meeting, then the court would inevitably make waves, and while sounding the rallying cry of the reformists, it would also start the struggle with Xu Jie.

Wu Shan took a sip of tea, looked up at the clear blue sky, and saw a wild goose flying through it, so he asked seriously: "How do you say that the history books will be judged on me!" ”

"Father-in-law, how do you think the history books will judge Yan Ge Lao? How will Xu Ge Lao be judged? Lin Haoran did not answer positively, but responded implicitly.

Even if Wu Shandang understood, if they win, they would naturally be famous ministers, and if they failed, they would naturally be traitorous heretics. He pursed his lips and shook his head, but he glanced at Lin Haoran helplessly.

His entry into officialdom has always been in good order, and he is undoubtedly an example for his courtiers. But now he has persuaded this son-in-law and embarked on a path that he had not thought of before.

However, he did not regret it, after reading the classics of the Song Dynasty and understanding the situation of the opening of the sea in Guangdong, he knew that what his son-in-law said was not wrong, and this was a good way to save the Ming Dynasty.

Although the road is destined to be difficult, there will definitely be many obstacles, and he will even fall to pieces, but he has no hesitation. As the saying goes: *******, *******.

Even if he fails, as long as he can open up the situation, Lin Haoran and others will definitely follow this path, and there will always be a successful day, so that Daming can embark on the road of prosperity and strength.

The next day, it was another sunny day.

In the capital, no matter how turbulent the court is, the life of the people here is always a calm and waveless appearance, and the streets here show the prosperity of the capital everywhere.

Especially after Lin Haoran took office, he not only improved the appearance of Shuntianfu, but also brought a tiger girl who likes to preside over justice, so that the security of the capital has reached the best period.

Since being allowed to run around, Tiger Girl's active range has covered the entire city of Beijing, and she always likes to run outside the city when she has nothing to do, so that those ruffians and bullies are terrified.

It's just that today is a little different, Ming Shifang Li Zhai's family died of illness, his son who was doing business abroad died, and only a few women were left in Nuoda's mansion to run the house.

Mrs. Li took the initiative to find Hu Niu, and solemnly handed a calligraphy and painting to Hu Niu and pleaded: "I heard that the emperor loves calligraphy, this is the true work of Wang Shusheng that my ancestors of the Li family were fortunate to get, please dedicate it to the emperor for my Li family!" ”

"Why are you looking for me?" Tiger Girl frowned and asked in a crisp voice that looked puzzled.

Mrs. Li looked at the bright eyes of the tiger girl, and said the reason seriously: "The old lady can't trust those officials!" Please also for the sake of the orphans and widows of my Li family, I will offer treasures to the emperor for the old woman! ”

"Alright! I'll help you take it to the palace and present it to the emperor! Hu Niu took the calligraphy and painting, and nodded in agreement.

Unlike some people who are afraid of the palace, Hu Niu is not afraid to go to the palace, and she is also not afraid to meet Jiajing. The reason why she was able to become a head catcher was because of the sacrifice of the bronze sword.
