Chapter 90 Peng Yi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works

The reason why Liu Dingzhi was reluctant was that he keenly felt the deep trap after this incident.

Maybe it's not a trap, but he feels how difficult it is to do it, and it's not something that can be done by sitting in Beijing.

Many miners are outlaws.

Otherwise, Ye Liuzong would not have blatantly resisted the law, and he would have to wait for several months in the imperial court.

It is even more difficult to include these people in the management.

Liu Dingzhi was reluctant to let the household take this hot potato.

Zhu Qizhen thought about it and felt that whoever was in charge would always want it or not.

In fact, a certain waiter mentioned this matter, as if the household waiter was in charge of the world's warehousing affairs, in fact, it can be regarded as the Food Bureau. It's a different yamen, but the head of the yamen is hung with the title of a household servant.

The same is true now, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu mentioned the world's factory affairs, in fact, it is the future Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Ming Dynasty. As for whose name it is, it doesn't matter.

Although Zhu Qizhen has not changed the six-ministry system of the cabinet so far, in fact, the invisible changes have been made little by little.

Zhu Qizhen pondered for a moment and asked, "Wang Shangshu, do you have a candidate?" ”

Wang Fu said: "Peng Yi, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, can take this position. ”

Wang Fu unceremoniously kicked out his biggest opponent.

Peng Yi is a native of Guangdong, he is an old Ministry of Industry, and how old he is, he has been the secretary of the Ministry of Industry for ten years in orthodoxy, and he has also performed well in disaster relief and water control several times.

But he was out for a short time, and he spent a long time in the ministry, and he almost rose up step by step from the ministry.

In the Ministry of Industry, they are all connections.

In contrast, Wang Fu is an outsider.

In the competition for the Ministry of Industry, Wang Fu only won a little because of Yu Qian's old department. So it's not too easy for him to take this deputy.

After all, in many cases, the power of the principal and the deputy lies more in the game between the two sides.

Obviously, Wang Fu has gained a firm foothold in the Ministry of Industry. But it was difficult to get Peng Yi out.

Thinking about this carefully, Zhu Qizhen could see it at a glance.

But it doesn't matter if you see it, Zhu Qizhen has long been accustomed to the many opinions and candidates put forward by the people below, and all of them are selfish.

It doesn't matter if you have a private motive. The important thing is whether the opinion is appropriate or not, whether it is useful or not, and whether the candidate can calm the scene.

And Peng Yi is a veteran who has been trained inside and outside, and has deep connections in the Ministry of Industry, the only thing that worries people is that the system of managing the factory is to be created from scratch.

But I don't know if Peng Yi, an old minister, can do this thing.

Zhu Qizhen didn't have a better candidate for the time being, and said, "Okay, it's him." Foshan Iron Works should be specific

How to deal with it? ”

Wang Fu said: "The minister thought that Peng Shilang would be in charge of this matter and take charge of the throne and make watches, take care of this matter, and divide Foshan into counties. Dedicated to this matter. ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Let Peng Yi come to see me." ”

"Yes." The three of them said in unison.

This is how the matter is finalized.

Zhu Qizhen can't control the specific details, and he can't control it, all he can do is to hand over this one thing to someone who can do it, and then supervise one or two.

Then he values this one thing again. The emperor also has too many things to do every day. It's impossible to focus on this one thing, and even if he really interferes, can he really be more capable than these old ministers?

Only God knows.

After Wang Fu returned, he immediately had a showdown with Peng Yi.

Peng Yi, a minister in his fifties, although he was not dignified, he could still see that he was not too happy.

Zhu Qizhen summoned Peng Yi, and all he could do was to appease, cheer, and encourage him.

However, Peng Yi asked Zhu Qizhen at that time to pull a group of people from the Ministry of Industry. Zhu Qizhen naturally will not be discouraged. As a result, the Ministry of Engineering was almost divided into two.

Although Peng Yi has the official title of squire of the Ministry of Works. But among the six ministries, the relationship with the Ministry of Industry is the worst. This feud lasted for many years, and it did not change until after the collapse of the six-part system.

Of course, at that time, many people didn't delve into why the relationship was not good, but it was just a tradition to hate the Ministry of Industry.

A few days later, Jin Yiwei took all the information of Xian Jing, and even Xian Jing's examination paper for Xiucai.

Zhu Qizhen took a closer look and was more satisfied with Xian Jing.

Although Xian Jing has a few personal maids in the house, there are no concubines in general, and there are no flowers and grass outside.

Of course, this kind of standard is completely unacceptable in the future generations.

But in this day and age, that's it.

is a real official and nobleman, who doesn't have a few women around him.

Xian Jing was born as a wealthy man, and he didn't want to take the road of the imperial examination. There are no taboos in nature. But being able to self-discipline is already quite good.

Of course, those who really want to take the road of the imperial examination should pay attention to it.

After all, it is the early Ming Dynasty, not the late Ming Dynasty, not the late Ming Dynasty, and the atmosphere where the Spring Palace can be openly discussed.

On the whole, the social atmosphere in the early Ming Dynasty was also serious.

Like Yu Qian, there is only one wife in his life, and there are not a few who will never take concubines. Even this trend affected the Hongzhi Emperor, who was the only monogamous among the ancient Chinese emperors.

He had this choice, which was also influenced by the social climate.

Emperor Taizu had an order of forty childless before he could take a concubine, of course, some people did not obey it, but among the officials, there were still a considerable number of people who obeyed it, such as Yang Pu, such as Li

Dongyang, such as Yu Qian, and so on.

Zhu Qizhen was more satisfied with Xian Jing, so he went to tell the queen.

When Queen Qian heard this, she immediately said angrily: "I don't agree, how can I let my daughter marry the son of a businessman!" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Although the Xian family is not a scholarly family, but the family background is not thin, there is a Foshan Iron Factory, and the Guangdong business community will respect the Xian family in the future." ”

Queen Qian's face was like a blue frost, and she said: "No matter what, I will not let my daughter marry a businessman, Your Majesty does not cherish the face of the court, I still cherish it." ”

Zhu Qizhen had a sense of powerlessness.

Emperor Taizu had a lot of restrictions on merchants, and he also determined the overall thinking of merchants in the early Ming Dynasty, that is, restrictions. No matter how rich a merchant is, he can't wear silk, he can't wear silk, and so on.

In short, no matter how social status a businessman has, a poor talent can be looked down upon. And this kind of unseemly is still supported by the entire social system.

Even if the Xian family has a fortune of 100,000 taels, in fact, its influence in Guangdong Province is not as good as that of a person.

Even if it weren't for the Xian family supporting the construction of Baisha Academy, Xian Jing would also have a reputation for showing talent. He may not be able to see Chen Xianzhang's face.

If he can't even pull the line of Chen Xianzhang. That's not to mention going to Beijing.

Even though he had too much money, he couldn't find the temple gate.

Zhu Qizhen's heart turned several times, his heart moved, and said: "Xin Tong, you don't know, in fact, I already have arrangements for Xian Jing. ”

"This is also for the good of Chongqing. Now that the government and the opposition are suppressing their relatives, how Chongqing married someone else, I can't arrange his future, but Xian Jing's future is easy to arrange. ”

"He's a businessman now, but he'll not be anymore."

Queen Qian said, "What are you going to arrange?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "There is no precedent for stone horses. ”

When Queen Qian heard this, she said, "Are you going to let him take charge of Shaofu?" ”

Zhu Qizhen said: "Yes and no, it is naturally not possible now, but there is a metabolism in personnel, I always have to prepare in advance, this Shaofu has too much to do with it, and I am not at ease with others." Let one of our children come out to bear the burden. ”

Zhu Qizhen's words are half true and half false.

Half true, that is, Shi Jing is much older than Zhu Qizhen, and now he is in his fifties. Maybe you will go to everything, and you will always have to arrange a person to take over, and Xian Jing's talent may not be able to play well in the government, but it is very suitable in the Shaofu.

And how important Shaofu is, Zhu Qizhen has become a self-reserved land that he can do whatever he wants, and it is also a part of it that can be used to resist the foreign court, and it is also one of the sources of Zhu Qizhen's financial resources.

In short, it is an important bargaining chip for the inner court against the outer court.

As the power of the cabinet becomes heavier and heavier, Zhu Qizhen must also lay out new checks and balances of power.
