During Wang Yuanwo's four months at the Shaoxing Iron Works, two major events occurred in Zhejiang.

Zhejiang came to a governor named Zhang Jin, mainly to patrol Huzhou counties, where there is a group of 30-year-old bandits. Because of the interception and killing of officials, the imperial court was furious and specially sent Zhang Jin to clear it.

Zhang Jin's bandits are similar to Wang Yangming, there are a few entourages around him, and there are no students like Uncle Wang.

He went directly to Hangzhou Beiguan to ask for money, and Yu Zhi allocated three thousand taels according to the rules.

Zhang Jin immediately took the money and went to Huzhou to take up his post, seconded 2,000 guards and soldiers, and used 2,000 taels of silver as military expenses and personally distributed them to each soldier. He also ordered the local wealthy households to donate grain and grass, trained the troops for a month, and began to suppress the bandits, and the order was forbidden, not to disturb the people, and to capture the bandit leaders with strange schemes.

Today, Zhang Jin is still serving as a governor in Huzhou and continues to clear the Taihu Lake bandits. But the promotion document is already halfway through, and because of his merits, he was promoted to the right servant of the household department and the left to the imperial history.

This old man is also a cadre who can be civil and martial, and he is also Wang Yangming's best friend. He has suppressed bandits in several provinces, and he has not lost dozens of battles. In the past, when he was the prefect of Ningbo, Enwei and pressured the Japanese to subdue the Japanese to see him off.

Compared with Zhang Jin's governor of Huzhou, another major event in Zhejiang is very frustrating.

Jin Yiwei commanded Qian Ning to send someone to bring 20,000 Ming treasure banknotes to Zhejiang to exchange for silver, and it was exchanged at the official price.

The officials of the Third Division of Zhejiang did not dump these brocade guards at all, but the eunuch Wang Tang was instigated. The 20,000 treasure banknotes all fell into the hands of Wang Tang, and he had to help Qian Ning exchange for silver within a limited date.

The eunuchs in a dignified province are enough to make this ghost look like this!

Knowing that Wang Yuan had returned to Hangzhou, more than 20 businessmen immediately came to the Governor's Mansion to complain.

Wang Yuan asked, "In other words, Jin Yiwei stuffed the treasure money to Wang Tang, and Wang Tang forcibly stuffed the treasure money to you?" ”

A businessman said: "The official price of the banknote is one tael of silver. Isn't this a pit man! ”

"Please Lord Governor, make decisions for us and other small people!" The businessmen kowtowed.

Wang Yuan had already established his prestige in Zhejiang, and although the officials and the people were afraid of him, they were also convinced of him. Otherwise, these businessmen would not have come to shout grievances at all, because they were facing Jinyi guards and eunuchs, and no matter how unlucky they were, they would have to pinch their noses and admit it.

Wang Yuan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Wang Tang wants silver, you give it to him." All the money in exchange was given to the governor, and if he could find it, he sent it to the governor's palace. ”

Three days later.

Wang Yuan summoned those brocade guards, and the leaders were only a hundred households.

"Hu Baihu," Wang Yuan didn't give a good face, "Qian Ning knew that I was the governor of Zhejiang, and he sent you to Zhejiang to apportion the treasure money, did he deliberately want to lose the face of my Wang?" ”

Hu Baihu hurriedly knelt down and explained, "Don't dare." Commander Zhu (Qian Ning) did not only take care of Zhejiang, but several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River had already sent Tiqi to exchange treasure money. ”

Wang Yuan always felt that Qian Ning was mentally retarded, could he spend so much silver?

A province forcibly apportioned 20,000 yuan, and several provinces in Jiangnan were 100,000 taels of silver. This money was made quite happily, but it offended the local civil officials and eunuchs!

Wang Yuan said: "You are also acting according to orders, and I don't want to make things difficult." In this way, as much money as you scavenged, all the money you have looted will be returned within half a month. I'll act like nothing happened. ”

Hu Baihu stubbornly said: "Governor Wang, we have not broken the law. The Ming treasure banknote was issued by the imperial court, and the official price was also set by Taizu, and daring to refuse to accept the treasure banknote was to flout the national law. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Well, I happen to be short of silver in my hand, and I also have tens of thousands of treasure notes in my hand." Come! ”

The 50,000 treasure banknotes that had been prepared a long time ago were thrown directly in front of these brocade guards.

Wang Yuan's face turned cold: "Daming treasure banknotes, you must not refuse to accept them, bring all the silver in your hands." ”

Hu Baihu said: "Governor Wang, you can't buy and sell by force. ”

Wang Yuan asked, "You didn't force the apportionment?" ”

Hu Baihu said: "Zhejiang town guards the eunuch Wang Tang and voluntarily exchanges 20,000 treasure notes, among which there is no forced purchase and sale. ”

Wang Yuan said: "This governor has always abided by the law, so naturally he will not use force. In this way, you can stay in the Governor's Mansion for the time being, and one day you will voluntarily exchange treasure money, and one day you can return to Beijing to resume your life. ”

Hu Baihu opened his mouth and wanted to say something cruel, but he stopped talking.

The magistrate actually dared to detain the brocade guard without authorization, what the hell is this world called?

Hu Baihu was afraid that he would die in Zhejiang, so he suddenly said loudly: "We are willing to exchange 20,000 treasure notes!" ”

"20,000 is not enough, I have 50,000 in my hand." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

Hu Baihu thought he was unlucky, and spoke openly: "Governor Wang, our brother has less than 30,000 taels of silver, please leave some travel expenses for us to return to Beijing." ”

Jin Yiwei quickly brought in the silver, and then he was discouraged, and he didn't even dare to stay in Hangzhou.

"You wait to come out," Wang Yuan said, "whoever gives the money will get it back by himself." ”

The businessmen peeked throughout the whole process and admired it at the moment. After some thanks, they took the silver and went back to their respective homes, and spread the story of Governor Wang's wisdom and Jinyiwei everywhere.

Well, Wang Yuan made a net profit of more than 6,000 taels, all of which were blackmailed by Jinyiwei in Zhejiang!

After the merchants left, Song Jiuling, who had just arrived, also took the initiative to visit the governor.

Wang Yuan smiled and asked, "Chief Song, are you willing to be a Qing official?" ”

Song Jiuling actually climbed up the pole, and took the initiative to hold the disciple salute and said: "Return to the general system, I am willing to be a clean official, and I am even more willing to raise silver taels for the general system to open the sea!" In the next has always admired the general system of Wen Taowu strategy, I hate to follow the left and right, today I am lucky, I can't help but be happy! ”

The post of banknote customs is served once a year, and Yu Zhi, the director of Zhejiang Beiguan, has returned to Beijing to report on his work.

The Song Jiuling in front of him is the new director of Beiguan, Zhejiang.

Song Jiuling thought that he had made a fat difference, but after taking up his post, he found out that the customs officials had long been controlled by the governor. Moreover, he had heard many terrible rumors, how could he dare to hit the muzzle of the governor's gun?

This goods is from Shanxi, the seat master is the first auxiliary Liang Chu, and the house master is Li Tingxiang for the Hanlin Academy.

Liang Chu, as the first assistant of the cabinet, and he is a southerner, how could he reuse a small Shanxi Sanbang Jinshi? Li Tingxiang is only a revision of the Hanlin Academy, and he can't help him much, and Song Jiuling can make a fortune to be in charge.

Since there is no chance of corruption, then simply throw yourself into Wang Yuan's door, be a clean official in a down-to-earth manner, and gain fame and political achievements!

In fact, it's okay to be greedy.

When the water is clear, there are no fish, as long as you don't be too rampant, the officials at the banknote pass are a little corrupt, and Wang Yuan turns a blind eye.

Zhang Yue of Nanguan is also about to leave office, and the new director of banknote customs is estimated to choose to take refuge in Wang Yuan.

Wang Yuan also lived up to his own people, and he had a tacit understanding with Lu Wan, the secretary of the ministry.

Yu Zhi, the "clean official" who left office before, because he paid banknotes, tariffs and silver, was about ten times that of previous years, and his performance assessment was the best. From the head of the household department of the seventh grade, he has become the official of the Shuntianfu from the sixth grade!

It seems that it is only one level higher, but it is actually a qualitative leap.

Jinshi was born in the seventh grade, and many people have been going around for several years, and it is still a positive seven-grade foundation. And Yu Zhi has only been an official for three years, and he has crossed this hurdle, his resume is very beautiful, and he has a bright future in the future.

Although Zhang Yue has not officially left office, Wang Yuan has already arranged it for him, and he knows from the states of Liupin, and the specific state is decided by Lu Wan.

Lu Wan has a bad character, and he is looking for political allies everywhere, just to enter the cabinet. As long as Wang Yuan doesn't trouble him, he is willing to help Wang Yuan promote talents, if Wang Yuan can say a few good words at a critical time, Lu Wan will definitely kneel to lick Wang Yuan to death.

You must know that Lu Wan, the official of the hall, even licked the eunuchs and generals, and betrayed Yang Ting and the faction unabashedly!

After dealing with these trivial matters, Wang Yuan went to comfort the cannon casting craftsmen.
