Chapter 84: Let the old man come
Wang Yue was proud, and suddenly felt a light on his face, he used to beg this kid with a shy face, but now he finally found some face.
"The virtuous nephew said that it doesn't matter, the old man will answer your questions and solve your doubts, and the matchmaker will also be a matchmaker, and if you like any girl, you will tell the old man, and the old man will give you a dowry when he goes back."
Yan Chengjin handed over the sparse letter, and after Wang Yue read it, he groaned a few times, and his face became a little solemn.
sighed: "Your father doesn't know, over the years, the granary has received less grain and less grain, it's not that simple." ”
"Please elaborate."
Wang Yue paced and said: "In the past, merchants transported grain in exchange for salt, and local military households in the border areas would also pay grain for money, but now that the salt law has been changed, there will be no merchants to transport grain, and there will naturally be no grain in the granaries of the military border." ”
Yan Chengjin was puzzled: "But there are still local military households in Tuntian, and they can exchange grain for money?" ”
Wang Yue looked at him deeply: "I don't know, some people have changed their methods to prevent military households from paying grain.
In the past, you could pay grain for 10 stones, but now the government has raised the regulations that you can pay grain for money only if you have 500 stones, otherwise the government will not accept it.
Which civilian and military household has so much food? ”
It's easy to make up 10 stone grains, but it's difficult to make 500 stone grains.
This is a change of tactics to prevent military and civilian households from selling grain to the government.
Wang Yue knew the twists and turns, and suddenly showed a touch of cunning: "The virtuous nephew is looking for the old man, he is looking for the right person, the old man not only knows the doorway, but also knows who the people who are not allowed to sell grain are people." ”
Yan Chengjin asked how He could serve a pot of high-quality tea.
Wang Yue said happily: "When the people sell grain to the government, they say that they can sell rice, and they can get two coins of silver for one stone, and merchants can also get two coins of silver for selling rice to the government."
However, the government stipulated that the rice would only be collected after 500 stones, and the people could only sell the rice to the merchants, but the merchants bought it for one stone and one penny, and then sold it to the government for one stone and two coins of silver. ”
Yan Chengjin instantly understood: "Which businessman has such great power to drive the government?" ”
Wang Yue laughed: "Others may not have it, but relatives do, they are both officials and businessmen, and they can't hide it, the people who are in Ningxia Mansion are actually the Zhang family brothers." ”
The Zhang brothers Ning Shouhou and Jian Changbo, the elder brothers of the current queen?
Yan Chengjin guessed that these two people were definitely hiding from Emperor Hongzhi, and the Ningxia Mansion was far away from Emperor Hongzhi, and Emperor Hongzhi was beyond his reach.
But that's going to be hard, huh?
Although I don't know the queen's attitude towards this matter, compared with his own brother, my father is an outsider after all.
Wang Yue saw that he was worried, so he smiled: "This kind of thing, the old man can do it for him, let the old man come." ”
Yan Chengjin was a little shocked by Wang Yue's enlightenment, was it to repay his kindness?
Wang Yue's old face flushed, and he stood up with righteousness and awe-inspiring: "This official is now the governor of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, and it stands to reason that this military ration is also a matter of responsibility, and it is not enough to worry about it, and it is not enough to worry about it." ”
Yan Chengjin smiled and said, "Adults, please eat tea." ”
Wang Yue rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, and blinked his eyes: "Virtuous nephew, in fact, the old man also has something to ask for, the old man's repentance is almost finished, and now it is almost time for His Majesty to give the number, there is no book to write, you see?" ”
In the past, he didn't dare to impeach the Zhang brothers because he was still in the position of the trilateral system, wearing shoes, and it was difficult to do it.
Now they're barefoot, and you're still afraid of a bird?
The official goes to be light, and the person goes to clear his name.
He has been a great minister, Jin Ge has been an iron horse, has won battles, and has been a great literati who praises the world, he has never seen anything in glory and wealth, and he has never played anything in Fireworks Willow Lane.
It's worth it in this life!
Now the only careful wish is that His Majesty will bestow the title, and it will be fulfilled.
Yan Chengjin took out a stack of manuscript paper from his cuffs and said, "These manuscripts were originally left for my father, but now I will give them to Lord Wang." ”
Wang Yue was overjoyed, but his mouth read: "How to make this, how to make it!" ”
The mouth was prevaricating, but the hand snatched it very honestly.
Looking at the name of this manuscript, "How the General Was Made"?
Wang Yue was overjoyed, isn't this book tailor-made for the old man? In the old man's life, he has been a general the most!
Yan Chengjin originally planned to regard this book as a sublimation of his father, but now that he is also a general, it is appropriate to write this book.
However, it is not considered to be buried for Wang Yue, speaking of which, the more the military god Wang writes, it is more suitable.
Although the novels of the Ming Dynasty are brilliant, they lack diversity, and there are still many fields that do not know how to be developed, burying the talents of the literati of this era.
Mr. Chuan Shi is quite respected by scholars, and he can also make a lot of money in the future.
"Slow down, adult!"
Wang Yue became vigilant, and immediately tightened his manuscript, holding the handle of the knife in his hand, as if anyone who dared to come up and grab it would fight with him: "Virtuous nephew, the scholar has a promise, this is not easy to regret." ”
Yan Chengjin shook his head: "The manuscript naturally belongs to the adult, but in the rat extermination action a few days ago, the lower official donated 20,000 taels of silver, and now the family is in distress, and the share of this manuscript fee is .........."
Wang Yue smiled contemptuously: "Shibo naturally doesn't take a penny, and the old man will write a note when he goes back and impeach the Zhang brothers." ”
Yan Chengjin nodded.
Wang Yue's impeachment is terrible, before he marched to war, he served as the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, that is, the official in charge of impeachment in the imperial court.
A letter of impeachment can write flowers.
Early the next morning.
Emperor Hongzhi had a sparse note on his desk early on, and after reading it, his brows furrowed, and he angrily reprimanded: "Ning Shouhou and Chang Ningbo Bo actually did the work of flies and dogs in the borderlands. ”
Li Dongyang and the three of them were also taken aback.
"Your Majesty, can you let the ministers take a look?"
Xiao Jing handed the music to Li Dongyang.
This letter is clearly written from how to discover the collusion between Changningbo and the Ningxia government to the current situation of the granary in Ningxia.
Emperor Hongzhi had a calm face: "Where is Zhu Xiang, the prefect of Ningxia Prefecture, from here, and how can he have anything to do with Ning Shouhou?" ”
Li Dongyang stepped forward: "Zhu Xiang is a native of Cangzhou, a Jinshi from the previous dynasty, and Ning Shouhou are not only fellow villagers of Hejian Mansion, but also in-laws. ”
Complicity!
It's just that Emperor Hongzhi doesn't understand, the person who impeached is actually Wang Yue.
Wang Yue's impression in his heart is not good, how can he become a clean official?
Ningshou Houfu,
At this time, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were in the main hall, eating snacks around the warm fire.
Zhang Heling took a sip of tea and said hatefully: "I heard that Zhou Yu's dog thing has been rewarded by His Majesty, brother, you might as well do it?" ”
Zhang Yanling was unhappy: "Why don't you do it?" and my brother wants to calculate my money. ”
"How can this be called calculation, he cheated you and ate the board, and you can't let him go easily." Zhang Heling seemed to be smiling.
Zhang Yanling's eyes lit up: "My brother is reasonable, if it weren't for being provoked by Zhou Yu's old dog, wearing His Majesty's crown, and my sister ordered to be grounded for three months, this running chicken business would definitely be mine." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled evilly, and started Zhou Yu's idea again.
