Chapter 571: All Things in the Capital
It was already late October, and this year's situation was not bad, but it was rare for me to stop for a year, and I did not lead the army to the south to plunder, and there was no fighting in the northwest.
Although the southeast Japanese rebellion has not been completely quelled so far, Xu Hai's head was sent to Beijing, and thousands of Japanese soldiers under his command disappeared, and Wang Zhi led the people to surrender, but from time to time there were military reports, and officials from the southeast were always hanging.
Therefore, the Zhejiang Hall has always been the most lively, and many southeastern officials and businessmen will come here to listen to the news, and there is no shortage of high-ranking officials.
For example, today, Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, bumped into Yuan Wei at the gate of the Zhejiang Guild Hall, and the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, they were not worried about the disaster in Xiangzi, but received news that the fleets of the Yuan family and the Zhao family were rigorously sent to sea.
They are both Cixi people, fellow villagers in the same township, but Zhao Wenhua climbed Yan Song to the top position, and Yuan Wei favored Emperor Jiajing with green words, the two did not take the same road, although they had contacts on weekdays, but they were only hindered by the name of their fellow villagers.
"Mei Cun Gong, this time it's really ......" Yuan Wei got angry when he thought about it, "But please ask the virtuous nephew to say yes, that guy actually even detained the Zhao family!" ”
Yuan Wei's younger brother found Zhao Wenhua's eldest son and went to Qian Yuan to say yes, okay, the Zhao family's fleet was also detained.
Zhao Wenhua smacked his lips, don't you know what kind of ruthless character that guy is?
Zhao Wenhua also scolded in his heart...... But the son of his own son who scolded him was really self-righteous, and he actually jumped out to say that he was ...... My old man doesn't have much weight in front of him!
After saying a few polite words, Yuan Wei turned around and left, Zhao Wenhua also got into a sedan chair and returned to the Ministry of Industry, and now his head is full of wood, wood, wood!
It's been more than half a year, and the three major halls are still in ruins, and the giant trees used are basically ...... It's not declining, look at this posture, let alone next year, it won't be able to be repaired in three or four years!
The reason is very simple, Emperor Jiajing has a good face, and ordered the Ministry of Industry to select a giant wood, and it has to be Nanmu, the Ministry of Industry originally wanted to replace the three woods in one, and then replace Nanmu with fir wood, but Emperor Jiajing unceremoniously called Zhao Wenhua into Xiyuan and scolded him.
Although the Yan Party has a huge power, the Ministry of Industry has always been the reserved place of the Yan Party, this black cauldron...... No one will carry it for him, Zhao Wenhua.
It is just a few buildings, but in fact it involves a wide range of buildings, such as Guizhou Fuping Gao Chong, the number of timber mining funds in this province, when the use of silver more than 1.38 million taels, the cost of huge labor, not a province can do alone, please make the two Guangzhou, Jiangxi, Yunnan, and other provinces accommodate the silver funding.
Zhao Wenhua only went out with a little wind, okay, all provinces have the same tune, and there are many disasters and injuries, and it is difficult to fund.
Now the Ministry of Industry can only make a haha, and finally write on the document submitted to the cabinet, "Don't have the right to make good policies, and let all parties deal with it."
That's all I can do, fool around and pull down...... When you can't get past it, then we'll talk about it then!
As soon as I returned to the Ministry of Industry, there was news, but it was not about Zhao Wenhua's book, but Yuan Wei, a fellow countryman who had just chatted with Zhao Wenhua.
After hearing the news, Zhao Wenhua sighed in his heart, he really can urinate in a pot, they are all ordinary ruthless characters.
Indeed, since a month ago, Xu Wei knocked down Yuan Wei, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, in front of many colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, and it is recognized in Beijing that this guy is really a ruthless character.
Thinking about it again, Qian Yuan beat his future father-in-law Xu Fan and cried, and kicked Zou Yinglong in the same year twice...... It looks gentle and elegant, but they are all goods who want to make a fist if they don't agree with each other!
Today, Yuan Wei couldn't hold back, he just got a letter from the guild hall, his younger brother, nephew, and second son were all detained by the government, and the Yuan family was forced to pay a fine of 1,000 silver.
In addition, today's green words are Xu Wei who won the lottery, and Yuan Wei is yin and yang on the side, sneering, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai...... As a result, Xu Wei counterattacked, and Yuan Wei was so angry that he jumped to his feet.
I don't know who made the first move, anyway, Li Chunfang, who came to persuade the fight, was caught with two blood marks on his face, and Guo Pu's hair bun was messed up.
Emperor Jiajing listened to Huang Jin speechlessly, and turned his head to look at Xu Wei, whose clothes were obviously torn and deformed, "Won?" ”
"Of course I won." Xu Wei smiled, "The circles under his eyes are blue." ”
"Southeast literati, who is not gentle and elegant, who did you learn from......"
"Your Majesty sees it clearly, his teeth are sharp, and he will shoot if he doesn't agree with each other, so naturally he is close to Zhu and red and black to ink."
"Okay, good, it's really worthy of being friends with Zhan is life and death, carved out of a mold!" Emperor Jiajing laughed and said: "Now it is rumored in Beijing that Qian Zhancai is worthy of the surname Qian, and everyone has drilled into the eyes of money, so they have made such a fuss for the tax money, and the Hanlin Academy is not enjoyable, and it actually came to Xiyuan!" ”
"The minister is guilty." Xu Weibai fell to the ground, "But Zhancai is not greedy for money, all taxes and silver are returned to the public, and the name of Jingchuan Gong's honesty is heard all over the world." ”
"Alright, get up." Emperor Jiajing put down the fold in his hand, "Have you received a letter recently?" ”
Xu Wei got up and took out a letter from his sleeve, opened it directly, and said, "The word Zhancai...... Doodles for young children, let's talk about it. ”
"Young children graffiti, so it is not allowed for Hanlin." Emperor Jiajing leaned on the couch and complained: "I estimate that I will be able to show my talents in the future...... Sooner or later, I'll get you in trouble. ”
On the same day, Xu Jie proposed that Qian Yuan return to Beijing and re-enter Hanlin, and Xu Wei used this word as an excuse to resign...... It's really humiliating to be with Lie Hanlin.
"In June, Wang Zhi surrendered, and in mid-July, trade began, and every ten days a fleet went to sea, and so far more than 30,000 taels of silver were collected." Xu Wei explained: "In fact, most of the maritime merchants of these fleets are exempt from taxes and silver because they have contributed funds in advance to help repair wharves, military villages, Weiyuan City, warehouses, and smooth roads. ”
"Exempt?"
"Yes, until all the money donated before has been deducted, and then the tax will be paid." Xu Wei calculated, "According to Zhancai, under normal circumstances, the monthly tax should not be less than 50,000 taels. ”
"That year was 600,000 taels ......" Huang Jin said happily: "Emperor, this is a lot." ”
"It's not bad to show your talents." Emperor Jiajing smiled and bent his fingers on his knees, remembering what Lu Bing said two months ago, Hou Taoshan was full of merchants and shops, like flying to a city.
"Wang's direct surrender, although it is a trade, but the emphasis is on prohibiting the Japanese invaders." Xu Wei looked at the letter, "For nearly half a year since June, Taizhou, Jiaxing, Songjiang, Suzhou, Shaoxing, and Wenzhou have all been invaded by small groups of Japanese robbers. ”
Putting away the letter, Xu Wei recalled, as if several Jiazhen said: "In this regard, what Zhancai said is roughly similar to the military newspaper of the Ministry of War.
In July, Yu Dayou fought twice in Shaoxing and Jiaxing, beheaded more than 100 people, and captured more than 300 Japanese prisoners.
In August, Qi Jiguang killed the Japanese in Taizhou, went to sea to pursue, was besieged by the Japanese and returned with a great victory.
In September, hundreds of Japanese invaders invaded Songjiang Jinshan, escaped from the sea and entrenched themselves on Daishan Island.
In October, more than 1,000 Japanese robbers plundered at the junction of Taizhou and Wenzhou, Qi Jiguang pursued and suppressed the Japanese invaders into Wenzhou, won three battles and three victories, beheaded 800, and Yu Kou fled into Fujian. ”
After a pause, Xu Wei said with a smile: "In addition, Ning Shaotai's general Lu Bin, guerrilla Hou Jigao and Qi Jimei, and Taizhou commander Ge Hao have all gone to sea several times to chase and suppress the Japanese invaders, and they have all won a lot...... With Wang Zhi, the descendant, those widows cannot escape. ”
Emperor Jiajing closed his eyes and listened carefully, and said softly after a while: "In other words, now in Zhejiang and Susong, the Japanese rebellion has been calmed down?" ”
Xu Wei hesitated for a moment before saying: "If Wang Zhi is okay, Zhejiang and Susong should no longer be in chaos, although it is inevitable that there will be bandits on the roam, but it should not be related to the overall situation." ”
"It's in line with Zhancai's prediction." Emperor Jiajing sighed: "Sure enough, it's half a year. ”
Half a year ago, Qian Yuan boasted in his letter that if Wang Zhi came down, Zhejiang and Susong would no longer become a Japanese coward within half a year.
"It is said that he has ......a long-term vision," Emperor Jiajing sighed again, "and now Fujian ...... Mess! ”
Under the joint efforts of Wang Zhi, Hu Zongxian, and Qian Yuan, those widows could not stand in Zhejiang and Susong, and many of the widows' nests were dug up, and Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou were too capable of fighting, so these widows entered Fujian Province like the original time and space.
