Zhenhai, the top floor of Qianjia Restaurant.

Huang Maoguan rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, it has been two months since he went south, everything has been done, sweet potatoes and artichokes will be shipped to Liaodong, Shanxi, Shandong and other places for trial planting after the year, and the Ministry of Trade can insure the Ministry of Households with an annual income of 2 million silver in addition to the eight major banknotes.

Two million taels of silver, this is a number that allows the household to straighten his waist, Huang Maoguan couldn't help but laugh and cough twice, but he was afraid that his boss Fang Duan would pull back and forth with His Majesty again, and the trouble would be endless.

In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, the stingy Emperor Jiajing was reluctant to transfer silver from the internal warehouse after the Gengxu Rebellion, and in the next few years, Emperor Jiajing always wanted to recover the debt from the Hubu Tai Warehouse...... This is why there is "a piece of paper to take silver from Taicang".

Immediately afterwards, the southeast was in turmoil, several provinces were raised, salt taxes were intercepted, and I was harassed several times in the south almost every year, and the Hubu Shangshu Fang was blunt to write to ask for Zhishi an average of five times a year, which made Emperor Jiajing quieter...... The main reason is that there is no silver in the warehouse, and the rats have to go out to beg for food.

However, since the tax and silver entered Beijing last year, the game between Emperor Jiajing and the household department opened again, even though Qian Yuan left a mouth in the southeast and made a so-called "royal fleet", but Emperor Jiajing still refused to give up.

Looking at the fluttering snowflakes outside, Huang Maoguan signaled to Chen Younian that he didn't need to cover the window, "Dengzhi is from Yuyao, and he has been going south for a long time, and he hasn't returned to his hometown to explore?" ”

After a moment of silence, Huang Maoguan said softly: "The day after tomorrow, we will leave for Beijing and take the first step." ”

Huang Maoguan appreciated Chen Younian a lot, after all, Yuyao is not far away, and according to the time, it should be the end of the year when he returned to Beijing, and the six ministries have been released, and the twists and turns about sweet potatoes and artichokes have long been sent back to Beijing.

"When you go south for national affairs, you should have no other selfish thoughts." Chen Younian said respectfully: "The lower officials don't dare to do anything else with private affairs. ”

"Passing through the door without entering." Huang Maoguan got up with a wine cup and said with a smile: "The old man Jiajing passed the township examination for 16 years, and at the end of the year, he left for Beijing to catch the exam, and he once met Luo Fenggong ...... in Yongjia."

Speaking of this, Huang Maoguan stopped his mouth and looked out the window in a daze, momentarily distracted.

Chen Younian didn't interject, he knew that the other party was talking about Luo Fenggong, the former cabinet chief assistant Zhang Xuan, who came to power because of the big ceremonial incident.

In the early stage of Jiajing, the civil official group was extremely repulsive to Zhang Zhang, but now the wind direction has changed greatly, and they all think that Zhang Zhang can at least be called a "capable minister", because there is Yan Song as a contrast behind him.

"The next year, I was lucky to be on the list, going south and north, running east and west, seeing that I can speak and argue like Xia Guixi, Mingzhe to protect myself like Gu Kunshan, and to do not hesitate to do my own for national affairs like Shuangjiang Gong, and I also saw that I didn't dare to answer Kou Bian like Zeng Zizhong, the way of good power and strategy is as strict as appropriate, and the shrewd and hard-working talent is like Gong'an."

Huang Maoguan shook his head, looked back and said with a smile: "Dengzhi, Wenhe, and Zizhi are all talents, and they are also the choice of the moment. ”

"Wenchang, Wenzhong, Yuchen, Duanfu, Bomao, and Chaoyang all have strengths, and they all capture the essence of Bingchenke."

Chen Younian bowed, "Lin Yuangong has a reputation." ”

"It's not an exaggeration." Huang Maoguan raised his hand flatly, "There are also people in Beijing who say that no matter what their intentions are, the vision of showing their talents is really admirable, and there are all handsome people in the garden." ”

"The students in the garden are all juniors, with shallow knowledge and little experience, and they still need the guidance of their elders [Bayi Chinese Network]."

"Zhancai speaks, and the clouds and fog are like a long-term sea." Huang Maoguan laughed and said: "Dengzhi, this is good, don't you learn? ”

Chen Younian pursed his lips and smiled, "As the saying goes, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black." ”

Huang Maoguan laughed endlessly, and nodded again and again, "This time I went south, and I have a meritorious career, and after the examination next year, the new science and technology will be selected as an officer, and you can be promoted to a foreign officer." ”

Chen Younian bowed, picked up the wine jug and poured the wine, and drank it all.

Huang Maoguan is not biased in his political stance, and if he is biased, he follows behind his boss Hubu Shangshufang.

And Huang Maoguan himself also strongly agreed with Fang Yu's proposal to open the sea and ban trade, and promoted Chen Younian to a member of the household department...... It means that Huang Maoguan handed over the Ningbo Qingguan Division to Chen Younian, who is now unable to nominally manage the Qingguan Division as the head of the household department.

But hidden under this remark is Suiyuan's open arms, and Huang Maoguan is thrown into it...... At least half of Huang Maoguan, at least for a while.

The length of time depends on when the Hubu Shangshu Fang is blunt.

Huang Maoguan saw very clearly that the annual tax of the household department was two million taels, which meant that without the support of Qian Yuan, no one would be able to sit firmly in the position of the head of the household department.

Of course, Qian Yuan did not have the ability to decide who could sit in this position, but after witnessing Qian Yuan's weight in the southeast, Huang Maoguan knew that Qian Yuan had the ability to decide who could not sit in this position...... In other words, it may not be possible to say it, and it will not be possible to say it.

Among the six books, the most important is by no means the Hubu Shangshu, but the most stable is the Hubu Shangshu...... On the one hand, relatively professional ability is required, and on the other hand, after all, ordinary officials are reluctant to meddle in this mess.

Once Fang Yu became a servant, the most likely successor was two people, one was Huang Maoguan, the left attendant of the household department, and the other was Ma Peng, the secretary of the household department in Nanjing.

This time he went south, Huang Maoguan was thinking in his heart that Fang Yu could hold out for a few years, but once Yan Song became a leader, Xu Jie's position was ...... I don't have a chance.

The reason is very simple, Ma Peng is a jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, the same year of Xu Jie.

Therefore, Huang Maoguan decided to choose Qian Yuan, choose the high arch behind Qian Yuan, and King Yu behind the high arch.

This is the only way.

In addition, this year, many officials in Beijing and Taoism have collectively impeached Qian Yuan, and Huang Maoguan was torn off his belt in public, almost losing his adult...... In this regard, Huang Maoguan and Suiyuan also have a friendship.

So this time when he went south, Huang Maoguan was very polite to Chen Younian, Sun Ling, and Lu Yipeng, and praised Qian Yuan a lot.

Chen Younian thought of Qian Yuan's analysis of each one by one last night, and many explanations, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, indeed, this is a transaction that benefits both sides.

Huang Mao was an official, but Qian Yuan also wanted an official who recognized the importance of opening the sea and banning trade to be the head of the household.

"The Qian family restaurant really lives up to its reputation." Huang Maoguan said with a smile: "This time I returned to Beijing, it happened to be the New Year's Festival, and the Qian family restaurant in Beijing ......."

Lin Yuangong laughed. Chen Younian said with a smile: "It's enough to hang the account." ”

"Hahaha, that little boy has a lot of good luck this year, and it is said that the eldest son of the second assistant of the cabinet can't hang up in the restaurant!"

Chen Younian couldn't help laughing, Xu Fan Jiajing went to Beijing in the thirty-second year, and he was once as famous as Yan Shifan...... After all, the identity is not too much, although Xu Fan is called Uncle Yan Shifan.

But since Qian Yuan entered Beijing, Xu Fan has become a joke.

At this time, Huang Maoguan, who was admiring the snow at the window, sighed, "That's Zhancai?" ”

Chen Younian looked closely, and a cyan horse galloped through the wind and snow, followed by more than a dozen black horses.

"Since Jing Chuangong wrote the letter to the officer, Zhan Cai has worked hard every day and dare not say bitter." Chen Younian sneered: "You must know that Zhancai is a night owl. ”

"Jing Chuan Gong is too harsh." Huang Maoguan shook his head slightly, "Some people are good at soldiers, and some people are good at generals." ”

"Haha, Lin Yuangong can be described as a confidant!"

"Zhancai said the same thing?"

Chen Younian smiled and nodded, "It's a pity that Jingchuan Gong doesn't like to show his talents the most, and he can reduce his talents, and there are only two people in the world, Pingquan Gong and Jingchuan Gong." ”

Huang Maoguan also nodded in agreement, the weight of the southeast is like Hu Ruzhen, and the elders of the in-laws are like Tan Zili, and they can't lower Qian Yuan.

But Chen Younian was wrong in what he said, in addition to Tang Shunzhi and Lu Shusheng, there was another person who could lower Qian Yuan, that is, Qian Yuan's father, Qian Rui.
