Chapter 1413: Yangzhou Rain
Other people in the flower hall had mixed reactions, some people were disappointed when they saw Lin Haoran's successful fundraising, some people were happy to see Slender West Lake being developed, but more people still felt indifferent.
"What else can I do, let's go!"
Fan Qianshan was self-aware, so he stood up and prepared to leave the road.
Not to mention, the silver they donated was humiliating, and Lin Haoran's identity and status alone were naturally qualified to hang them aside.
Chen Boren noticed that Lin Fu was standing in the corridor and guarded, and vaguely felt that tonight's fundraising was not as simple as it seemed, and this young man with the name of "Lin Operator" in the capital seemed to be plotting something.
Sometimes, he really hoped that this young man in the past would be able to marry Xu Jie, instead of choosing the daughter of Wu Shan, who was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites at the time.
If he becomes Xu Jie's grandson-in-law, they will definitely be able to become close partners, instead of standing on opposite sides like now, let alone worrying about what conspiracy Lin Haoran is playing.
Yang Dashi watched Lin Haoran pull Cao Meng and the others to talk to him secretly, and asked in a worried voice: "Do you think he will take the opportunity to win over a few of them?" ”
Although they are on Huaiyan, all parties have common interests, and there is reason to unite against Lin Haoran. It's just that due to the grievances over the years, they have deep contradictions with Zhejiang merchants and Huizhou merchants.
If Lin Haoran brought both Zhejiang and Hui merchants over, even if they had the support of Yang Bo and others, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the situation would definitely be much more difficult than before.
"If you speculate like that, you've fallen for his scheme!"
Chen Boren glared at Yang Dashi fiercely, and turned around directly to leave the flower hall.
Although there was a certain degree of split inexplicably tonight, and their Shanxi merchant gang was directly excluded by Lin Haoran, it was impossible for Lin Haoran to win over Cao Meng and Xu Yunan and others.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Huaiyan's cake has been clearly divided, and whoever wants to step in to grab the cake will inevitably be attacked by several parties. Just like Yan Maoqing in the past, it was precisely because they wanted to snatch the interests of Huaiyan that they united against Yan Maoqing and even Yan Song behind him.
As for wanting to unite Zhejiang merchants and Hui merchants to seize their share of Jin merchants, not to mention whether Xu Yunan and others dare to do so, it is impossible for Xu Jie, the first assistant behind them, and Yang Bo, the secretary of the military department, to agree.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Haoran's move is more of a deliberate pressure on them, deliberately creating a gap for all parties, and it is impossible to really have the ability to pull people over.
After a few sunny days in Yangzhou, I thought that the hidden danger of flooding no longer existed, but suddenly another heavy rain fell.
A dark cloud rolled in from the east, and in the blink of an eye, the entire Yangzhou city was shrouded in darkness, and a kind of apocalyptic scene appeared. Qiandu Chinese Network
After a while, the raindrops the size of soybeans frantically slapped on the green bricks of the streets of Yangzhou City and the green tiles of the houses, and then the rainwater that flowed into the eaves rushed down from the eaves and flowed towards the low-lying places.
The rain did not stop from morning to afternoon, as if it was going to flood the city of Yangzhou, creating an uneasy atmosphere for the people of Yangzhou.
At the same time, the city of Beijing is also overcast, and a rainstorm seems to be coming at any moment.
In the West Garden, Wuyi Palace, the air is filled with the smell of sandalwood.
Xu Jie, who was wearing a python robe, looked energetic, and was sitting at the desk and preparing to play a recital. After all these times, he has a faint aura of a superior, and he also has a little bit of the appearance of a powerful minister.
As the emperor became more focused on cultivating the Xuan, he held the power to draft the votes of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and many policies that had far-reaching local influence were drafted by him and then implemented by the localities.
In addition, the change of the official position of the local personnel and the appropriation of specific project funds are all determined by his hands, and his current authority is not much weaker than that of Yan Song.
In the face of a note from Fujian, he still wrote on a small note of paper with a soft note: "The three armies march together, and quickly win Xinghua."
On November 29 last year, the Japanese took advantage of the unstable change of commanders in the southeast to capture Xinghua Prefecture and occupy the city. In the face of this sudden change, knowing that the generals of Fujian were not available, it was decided to send soldiers from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangdong to support.
Now that all parties have been put in place, it is natural to go hand in hand, quickly reinstate the city, and get rid of that gang of would-be robbers, so as to resolve this public opinion storm caused by the dismissal of Hu Zongxian.
But I have to admit that the stability of the southeast in recent years has indeed been more than Hu Zongxian. just thought of the relationship between Hu Zongxian and the Yan family's father and son, but he had to guard against it, lest they make a comeback.
Although the core henchmen of the Yan Party have been almost eliminated by him, the emperor still retains a very heavy affection for Yan Song, like Yan Song's third birthday last month, the emperor not only did not forget, but gave Yan Song a generous gift.
It is precisely like this, although Yan Song has returned to his hometown in Jiangxi, he still feels faintly uneasy in his heart, worried that he will be reused like the former first assistants Zhang Xuan and Xia Yan.
Hey?
Xu Jie was thinking about who to send to fill the post of prefect of Yuanzhou, and when he opened a note, he saw that it was written: "Li Yu, a member of the household department of Weichen Nanjing, is respectful, and Lin Haoran, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, misbehaves and is difficult to take on the great task of rectifying Huaiyan." First, due to the abolition of the public for private purposes, it went south through the East China Sea, but first arrived in Hangzhou to pick up the beautiful concubine, and then went to Yangzhou; Second, it was said that the lawsuit was indiscriminate, and there was ironclad evidence in Yangzhou, but it was hastily accepted, which made the people of Yangzhou panic and the gentry in danger; Three, spend all day and wine, it costs a lot to Yangzhou, and every meal must enjoy the best food; Fourth, it is said that it is implicated in the local military and political ......"
But no one thought that in the seemingly peaceful Yangzhou City, Li Yu had collected many "criminal evidence" from Lin Haoran, and had already sent a letter to Xu Jie's case.
Although these accusations are not very sinful, in many cases, the sentencing of adults is entirely determined by the imperial court, and it is also the root cause of why the magistrates are afraid of the Beijing officials.
Xu Jie read it twice in recognition, but his brows furrowed slightly. Although he really wanted to get rid of Lin Haoran, he knew in his heart that Lin Haoran was shouldering the emperor's trust on this trip, and his hasty handling now would definitely cause the emperor's dissatisfaction.
It's just that as a clever politician, he always thinks of the best way to deal with it, which is to take out a note and write seriously: "Order Wei Shangchun, the governor of Yingtian, to inspect Yangzhou!" ”
