Chen Boren still looked at Lin Haoran in confusion, although he didn't understand the reason, he guessed that there must be another mystery in this matter of Guangdong salt.

Others may not know, but he understands the amazing financial resources of the United Business Group. Not to mention taking the risk of grabbing oil and water from the Guangdong salt and salt tax, even if all of it is given to Lin Haoran, I'm afraid he won't take it seriously.

This year's salt tax in Guangdong is only 200,000 taels, but no matter how much less this salt tax is than in previous years, it must not be that Lin Haoran or Wu Shan reached out to grab the oil and water, and there must be other reasons.

Wu Shan was the fourteenth year of Jiajing's Tanhualang, from the Hanlin Academy all the way to the Ministry of Rites. Although there are many twists and turns, he is also a veteran Shangshu, with higher qualifications and prestige than anyone else.

The reason why he has not been favored by the outside world in the competition for the official book is mainly because Wu Shan has caused a lot of trouble in the Guangdong salt tax, which has made the emperor angry.

It's just that now it seems that this salt tax is probably a smoke bomb for them, and the matter of Guangdong salt must have given a convincing explanation to the emperor, otherwise it would be impossible to let Wu Shan serve as the secretary of the ministry.

Chen Boren wanted to know the mystery, but looking at Lin Haoran's demeanor, he obviously didn't mean to tell him.

Lin Haoran drank all the tea in the cup, put the teacup down gently, got up from his seat and said lightly: "President Chen, this official still has official business, and he has left!" ”

"Lord Fu Yin, please go slowly!" Chen Boren hurriedly got up to send him off, and then added seriously: "Your tea, I will order someone to send it to your house when I turn around!" ”

"Thank you!" Lin Haoran spit out two words lightly, and left with a swagger.

Chen Boren sent people to the staircase, and saw Lin Haoran walk out of the door of the teahouse, and he also saw Dong Gongzi being taken away, but he had to re-examine this Ming demon.

entered the officialdom with an unprecedented Lianzhong Liuyuan, and at the age of only twenty-two, he was already in the third grade of Shuntian Mansion Yin. Now, his father-in-law has been promoted to the rank of official secretary, and his status and influence are completely different.

Even if the Xu Party wants to suppress him, he has to think about it. Once he inherits Wu Shan's political resources, even if he cannot be the official to the first assistant, he will be one of the most influential people in the court.

As the saying goes, "If one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven", and Lin Haoran, as Wu Shan's son-in-law and proud protégé, he has actually taken a step forward.

"To my father-in-law's house!"

After Lin Haoran got into the carriage, he commanded lightly.

Now that the dust has settled, he wants to assist his father-in-law in conducting a Beijing inspection, and change the evaluation level for Yang Futian and others, laying the groundwork for the next promotion and deployment.

Wuyi Palace, the first auxiliary duty room, a strong sandalwood fragrance filled every corner of this room.

Xu Jie, who was wearing a python robe, sat in front of the bookcase, facing the piles of notes in front of him, it was a local book that he carefully flipped through, and grasped the situation of the two capitals and thirteen provinces and the border defense.

As far as the current Ming Dynasty is concerned, it is necessary to find a way to solve the financial problem, and the southeast and the border defense of the nine sides also need to be highly valued.

"Jiliao Governor's Soldier Yang Xuan, Zhongliao Yangjie, Deputy Chief Soldier Yang Zhao and Ministry General Guo Chengen and others have killed more than 100 enemies, and 50 horses.

Xu Jie opened this piece of music from Liaodong, but he carefully considered it.

This matter has to start from the period when Yan Song was in charge, Yang Xuan, who was the governor of Jiliao at the time, was at odds with Hou Ruliang, the governor of Liaodong, but Yang Zhao, the general soldier of Liaodong, was involved.

Because of the military exploits, Yang Zhao, the chief soldier of Liaodong, and Hou Ruliang, the governor of Liaodong, participated in each other, and as a result, Wang Heshang was impeached by the military department, and the court dismissed the two together the year before last.

Yang Zhao resolutely has the support of Yang Xuan, the governor of Jiliao, behind his back, and he is the old department of Yang Bo, the secretary of the Ministry of War. Although he was dismissed, he soon returned to the post of Qiantun guerrilla, and last year he temporarily took up the post of deputy military officer.

At that moment, Yang Xuan made another military achievement, and the governor of Jiliao was already going to correct Yang Xuan, but it was Shangshu who asked Yang Xuan to restore the general army of Liaodong.

"Please assemble the military department!" Xu Jie picked up the pen and wrote a line of small words on the paper.

Although he knew that this was the Governor of Jiliao cultivating his cronies, but in the position of the Governor of Jiliao, he really needed to cultivate an obedient general soldier, so that he could better enforce the ban.

Now he has handed over the decision-making power to the Ministry of War, which not only directly sells Yang Bo's affection, but also sends a signal of decentralization to the officials of the Ministry of War, which is undoubtedly a double win.

In this court, not only must you serve the emperor well, but you must also give a certain amount of respect to the officials below. Only in this way can he win the hearts of the people, unlike Yan Song, who is always impeached.

He thinks that his favor is not as good as Yan Song, and his power is undoubtedly on a par with the Yan Party in the past.

If he is often impeached by the official of the speech, not only will he have to live a frightened life every day, but he will not be able to ensure that the emperor will adopt the performance of a certain official one day, so he will be driven home like Yan Song.

opened another note, but it was the note of the protégé Guangdong Inspector Chen Rui, and the object of impeachment was Lin Wenkui's sister Hu Niu.

This restless girl returned to Leizhou and mobilized Leizhou Wei to clear out the bandits, which was undoubtedly a transgression.

"Although the Nanyang Patrol Lin is usually for local stability, it is an abuse of the power of the guard to transfer officers and soldiers without permission, and he will not be punished for his youth, but he must not transfer a soldier or a pawn, and he must not meddle in local affairs......

Xu Jie knew that if she didn't restrict it, the whole of Guangdong would probably be surnamed Lin sooner or later, and now he took the opportunity to explicitly limit her power and make her an ornament in Guangdong.

Just as the ticket was being prepared, a figure hurriedly walked in from outside.

The person who came was the messenger of the Xu Mansion, and the messenger came in and gave a respectful salute, and then reported softly: "Master, the candidate for the official department has been announced!" ”

"Who is it?" Xu Jie's head was not raised, and he still asked in writing.

The messenger glanced at Xu Jie with complicated eyes, and spit out two words bitterly: "Wu Shan!" ”

Xu Jie's face looked indifferent, but the tip of the pen in his hand was a stroke, and the note was invalid. It's just that there was not much shock on his face, as if he had expected it a long time ago, and he still felt more disappointed at the moment.

He raised his head helplessly and sighed softly.

If Yan Ne can serve as the secretary of the ministry, then there will be no one in the entire court who dares to oppose him, and he will be able to pause for the Ming Dynasty and beat the Jiangxi side again.

It's just that now that Wu Shan is the secretary of the ministry, things are already developing in a bad direction, and even Wu Shan will become a pawn for the emperor to balance himself.

Xu Jie put down the brush in his hand and asked seriously: "How is the investigation of the matter of Yueyan?" ”

"Master, it has been investigated, please take a look!" The messenger immediately took a letter from his bosom and handed it over respectfully.

Xu Jie crumpled the broken note into a paper basket and threw it aside, reached out to take the letter, and immediately opened it slowly, wanting to know the true truth of Yue Yan.

He still doesn't understand that the salt tax in Guangdong is much less than in previous years, but after the emperor summoned Wu Shan, he turned a blind eye to this matter, as if nothing had happened.
