At the end of Qian Yuan's performance, the scene fell silent for a while, and only the shouts of the guy Xiaoer came from time to time.

After a while, the blue-robed scholar put down the teacup and looked at Qian Yuan with a strange expression, "You know?" Just now I guessed that you were a ...... from Hangzhou Weaving Mansion."

Guozi Face couldn't help but laugh and nodded again and again, "If the city division is reset, the eunuchs of Hangzhou Weaving Mansion are the happiest." ”

The blue-robed scholar stretched out his hand and nodded at Qian Yuan, "Do you know why?" ”

Qian Yuan stood up blankly and shook his head.

Guozi face explained in detail: "Before the city was abolished, it had been controlled by the eunuchs, and the eunuch Lai En of Ningbo City had received bribes and acted unfairly, which led to the battle for tribute, and later Xia Guixi took the opportunity to impeach and abolish the city of the city. ”

The blue-robed scholar smiled and said, "Therefore, the municipal tax is in the inner treasury, and it has nothing to do with the household department. ”

Qian Yuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, who would have thought it was so complicated, in this way, Zhu Yan's suicide was not only committed by the Min people, it is estimated that the eunuch also intervened, by the way, Xia Yan's death is estimated to be related to this matter, and there is no eunuch in the world who does not hold grudges.

Someone in the DPRK proposed to re-establish the city and the ship, so there was a tragic southeast rebellion?

Possibly, because the municipal tax is irrelevant to the civil clique, and in their opinion, it is the eunuchs who steal the money from their own pockets!

It's really black eyes, and I can't see silver!

Don't go too far, as long as you don't go too far, even if those robbers, they rarely grab the heads of wealthy merchant families, and it doesn't matter if the sea is forbidden, anyway, smuggling profits are high, they are just playing these calculations.

But the wishful thinking of these people was quickly shattered.

No one thought that after the imperial court banned the sea again, although the smuggling trade did not stop, the invasion of the inland by the Japanese invaded more and more frenziedly, and finally caused the southeast war.

Qian Yuan's mind is a little confused, and the facts are too different from the history books, he vaguely remembers that "The Fifteenth Year of Wanli" described this as a war between the budding bourgeoisie and the conservative forces, but he didn't expect that it was also inextricably linked with the party struggle between the DPRK and China, and it was not just the infighting of the civilian clique.

Guozi's face looked at Qian Yuan's uncertain look with interest, and only after a long time did he whisper: "Haven't asked for advice yet?" ”

"Qian Yuan, a member of Huating in Xiasongjiang."

"This is Wang Fengzhou, a scholar in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing." The national character face pointed to the blue-robed scholar and introduced.

"Ah, it turned out to be the Duke of Fengzhou!" Qian Yuan was shocked and got up to salute, now Wang Shizhen has become famous all over the world, and Li Panlong and others are called the seventh son because of their admiration and imitation of the Tang Dynasty.

Wang Shizhen smiled and nodded, since leaving Beijing at the end of last year, there have been many similar scenes, if this little guy looks pampered and not surprised, it will be strange.

After a gentle drizzle but a rainbow fart that kept rising, Qian Yuan looked at the Chinese face, it shouldn't be an ordinary character who can be friends with Wang Shizhen, right?

Wang Shizhen smiled and stretched out his hand and said: "This is my same year, Zhang Juzheng, a jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing." ”

Qian Yuan hiccuped without warning, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the sudden sight of the top politician of this era in an unprepared situation made his heart stop beating.

However, Qian Yuan quickly reacted, and after giving up a sentence to Senior Zhang, he focused his attention on Wang Shizhen.

Zhang Juzheng is very good, very good, but for the current Qian Yuan, Wang Shizhen is the target he needs to focus on.

After carefully introducing the situation at home, and not shying away from saying that his father and brother had also participated in maritime trade, Wang Shizhen began to carefully inquire about Qian Yuan's internal information.

For a scholar with a great reputation in the literary world, these are mundane affairs, but for the son of a governor of Zhejiang who is also the commander of military affairs, this is a matter of course.

In this era, it is common for sons to join their father's shogunate counselors, such as Yan Song's son Yan Shifan and Xu Jie's son Xu Fan.

Wang Shizhen's father, Wang Chen, Jiajing 20 years of Jinshi, went out to Fushan at the beginning of last year, and then because of the frequent raids of the Japanese invaders, the imperial court ordered Wang Chen to supervise the military affairs of Zhejiang.

This is the second governor of Zhejiang appointed by the imperial court three years after the suicide of the first governor, Zhu Kun, which also shows the attitude of the imperial court towards the raiding and maritime trade of the Japanese invaders, although these are not things that everyone can react to.

For example, the owner of the Wufeng ship who was still trying to go up to the next level in Zhoushan, he didn't react, and it was recorded in the history books that if it wasn't for a gust of wind, it was likely that there would be no so-called King Hui.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that Wang Chen only cared about exterminating the Japanese invaders ashore for most of the half year after he took office, and ignored maritime trade.

After a long talk, Qian Yuan Shi Shiran left, and the moment he walked out of the restaurant, he had an unknown excitement in his heart, although the plan he made had changed, but in general there was no big problem.

As early as when he first arrived in Hangzhou more than a month ago, Qian Yuan made people stare at the governor's yamen, the reason is very simple, he remembered very well that the famous Wang Zhi was beaten by Wang Chen and fled to Japan.

However, he also thought of how to catch up with Wang Chen, but waited for his son, the famous Wang Shizhen.

Wang Shizhen was sent to Luzhou, Yangzhou, Fengyang, and Huai'an as an envoy to Luzhou, Yangzhou, Fengyang, and Huai'an last year, and on the way back to Beijing, he traveled south from Yangzhou in the hope of meeting his father.

Wang Shizhen's fame was too great, and as soon as he arrived in Hangzhou, he attracted a lot of discussion among literati and writers, which attracted Qian Yuan's attention.

Qian Yuan didn't expect to climb up to Wang Chen, he just hoped to find a way to hand over the two famous posts at a critical moment, and Qian Yuan didn't expect to be able to intersect with Wang Shizhen, but he hoped to have an intersection, to put it bluntly, he hoped to reveal this intersection to some people.

Zhang Juzheng, who was still on the second floor of the restaurant, smiled and whispered: "I can't see that there is a desire to climb." ”

Wang Shizhen nodded in agreement, "The Songjiang Qian clan is also a famous family, and such things can't be done." ”

Originally, both of them speculated that Qian Yuan was pinning his hopes on climbing to the backer of Wang Chen, the governor of Zhejiang, but in the end, the three of them said that their mouths were dry, and Qian Yuan did not reveal his thoughts in this regard.

Well, even if Qian Yuan had this thought, he would not be in such a hurry to show it, when to say what kind of words, Qian Yuan, who had been tempered by the business sea in his previous life, was experienced, and he was currently just trying to use Wang Shizhen, the identity of the governor's son, to get rid of possible dangers, such as that Zhang Siwei.

"Also, the head of the government examination in Songjiang Mansion, it shouldn't be too difficult to take a jinshi." Wang Shizhen smiled and said, "When are you leaving for Beijing?" ”

Zhang Juzheng hesitated for a moment and said, "I want to wait a little longer and take a look...... The maritime trade in Hangzhou and Ningbo is so vigorous, if the city shipping department can be brought under the household department, it may not be a way out.

After Zhang Juzheng resigned and returned to his hometown, he went south from Jingzhou at the beginning of this year, and what he saw and heard was shocking, and the wind of land annexation was flourishing, as Qian Yuan said, the agricultural tax was getting less and less, and the imperial court's financial margin was getting smaller and smaller, and it was said that the Hanlin Academy had been issuing treasure money for several months. ”

Today's Zhang Juzheng has initially shown his political vision, three years ago he wrote "On the Political Sparseness of the Times", clearly pointing out the five biggest problems in the imperial court, one of which is the lack of money.

The Ming Dynasty was probably one of the worst fiscal dynasties in China's feudal history, with financial problems that were very serious and largely unchanged from the beginning of the founding to the eventual demise of the country.

But Zhang Juzheng also knows very well that land annexation is a big cauldron, and once it is broken, it will be light, and whether it can solve the problem of wealth through other means......

Wang Shizhen frowned and sighed: "Then let's go separately, I will leave in five days, hoping to enter Beijing as soon as possible, it is said that Jiaoshan is seriously ill in prison." ”

Zhang Juzheng's eyes flashed with a look of disapproval, in his opinion, such as Yang Jisheng and Shen Lian wrote a book to impeach Yan Song, there is no practical significance, and it is the right way to retain a useful body for the future.
