Wang Xingping never came out of the governor's yamen, and that was because Master Shen had left for dinner.

Shen Fujun was in a good mood, dressed in a Yanju robe, fairy wind and crane bones, not like he came to the southwest to be an official, but like he came to visit the mountains and rivers.

A few months ago, he passed through Guizhou and not only received the hospitality of Zhang Heming, the minister of Fu, but also met Zhang Rulin, a member of the Zhejiang Township Party - who studied in Guizhou, although Zhang Rulin was from Shaoxing Mansion, but Huzhou, where the Gui'an Shen family was located, was only separated from Hangzhou by a mansion, and the two families often moved around on weekdays, not to mention that they were both officials in the same dynasty. When Zhang Rulin's father-in-law Zhu Geng was still alive, these two Zhejiang scholars relied on him as a dry city, and they had their own incense, and Wang Xingping attended the banquet as a protégé of Zhang Heming and Zhang Rulin.

On that day, the old minister Shen showed his love for this young man, and he had heard of his reputation in Beijing, so he looked up to him even more.

Wang Xingping did not forget to promote his iron factory, so he first told Shen Zuowei about the plan to mint coins, and this time it was through this matter that he asked Zhang Heming for a related errand to come to Yunnan.

Shen Juwei was born in the thirty-third year of Jiajing (note: 1554 in the Western calendar), and now he is an old man in his sixties.

Because it is a family banquet, there are not so many rules to talk about, except for Shen Juqing, only his second son Shen Junqing is accompanied, he has always been smart, and he was in his forties, so he has always been with him when he was an official. Now he is just a weak crown, but he is also a person who is interested in the imperial examination, Wang Xingping's reputation has been mentioned by his fellow villagers in Zhejiang in Beijing, especially he is also familiar with Qi Biaojia and others.

The meals were vegetarian, except for the chef brought by Master Shen himself to make a few Jiangnan side dishes, and he didn't drink much wine, and the topic of a few cups of stomach was introduced to Wang Xingping again.

The winter moonlight shone on the stone table in the backyard, and with the help of the light and the moonlight, Master Shen was holding a copper coin in his hand and playing with it, looking like he couldn't put it down.

This newly minted small coin is exquisitely made, originally to wait for Liu Rust to come back to preside, but Wang Xing is not equal, and it just so happens that Wang Yingxing, who has recruited Wu Sawei, this military household who is only one word away from Song Yingxing has now become a powerful person under Wang Xingping, and this copper coin is currently made with the assistance of Wang Yingxing.

"This is the mother money that Brother Xian said last time?" Shen Junqing didn't have his own Lao Tzu's qi cultivation skills, and after seeing this copper coin, he was quite interested, and his thoughts were fully revealed.

"Let Jun Hou (Shen Junqing's cousin) brother smile." Wang Xingping said humbly.

Shen Zuowei chuckled, "Why laugh, the money you minted is much better than the official one, not to mention that there are not many copper coins made in the Wanli Dynasty, and the last one was more than thirty years ago." The people of Jiangnan have committed capital crimes, and Tiancheng is doing things that benefit the country and the people. ”

In the seventeenth year of Wanli, Master Shen's first assignment after entering high school was to serve as the director of the Ministry of Industry Yu Hengqing Officials, and he naturally understood the quality of this official-made copper coin better than others, and Wang Xingping's money was obviously better.

Shen Junqing also helped on the side, "My father's first thing to do is to supervise the food and salary, if Tiancheng Xian's brother can make this proposal, then he can gradually use money to change in the future, and this financial power can also be attributed to the government." ”

"Indeed, the old man Fu Yunnan this time, before leaving Beijing, the old Fang Ge specially explained that he must stabilize the operation of the southwest, I know that Tiancheng is helping Zhang Xianggong to train troops in Tuntian, and I also have the heart to follow suit, but I can't do it."

Wang Xingping suddenly realized that Fang Congzhe and Shen Zuowei are both fellow villagers in Huzhou, so it seems that the transfer of Master Shen to the southwest also has profound intentions, so I don't know if he really wants to stabilize the southwest or is helping his fellow villagers to hide from Liaodong's dispatch. And when Master Shen said this, he was asking Wang Xingping for advice, and if he didn't say something, I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to make a difference.

"Xingping heard that since the erosion of Liaodong, Xiong Shuai has successively transferred the text to transfer the southwest strong team out of the customs, so there will be a commotion in the Tushe in Central Yunnan, but the students think that this can help Xianggong open up the situation."

"Tiancheng is talking about using soldiers?"

"Exactly, Zhang Xianggong also used this method to renew Yunnan's economy, and the first thing is to use force to subdue him."

He naturally knew that the Jinshi master made of these moral articles could be a feudal official, although it was not too pedantic, but it was not necessarily acceptable for them to accept that they completely relied on force to subdue the place, and Yang He didn't think so before. But Wang Xingping is different, he has a vision across time and space, and naturally understands that if you want to change, you must have strength, and the so-called 'without a people's army, there will be nothing for the people.'" It is the same with the replacement of the army with the standard battalion of the governor.

Why was the Shang Martingale Reform successful? It was Qin Xiaogong who supported him behind his back, and behind Qin Xiaogong was the liquidation of Xungui by the martial arts group. Why did Wang Anshi fail? Naturally, because the army of the Great Song Dynasty is reluctant to move the prime minister, who will take what the prime minister without a knife said to heart.

Shen Xianggong's fondness of Yunnan is nothing more than two in terms of interests - political achievements and official reputation, and the two obviously complement each other.

Although what Jiang Chen has to do is far from being as difficult as changing the law, he will always face the redistribution of interests and opening up the situation, if Shen Xianggong still has a little idea of entering the cabinet, he should understand the due meaning of Wang Xingping's words, and through this show of goodwill Wang Xingping can also get more benefits in the future, of course, this interest has to be taken from the local heroes, and the largest family is undoubtedly surnamed Mu.

"But after all, Yunnan is different from Guizhou, and the chief military officer is not easy to control." Master Shen seemed to be complaining.

This is also something that Wang Xingping empathizes with, originally with the status of the Mu family in Yunnan, it is not that he cannot cooperate with the Min Domain, but it is a pity that the family of Qianguo Gong helped him close this door to Shengsheng. But the implementation of the money is not slow, this business can not talk about much technical threshold, look at an attitude and the heart is not black, at least with the quality of the mother money brought by Wang Xingping Shen Zhiwei is willing to endorse it, if it can be so that the Yunnan money law can be innovated, it is undoubtedly a great political achievement, and the prestige is naturally there, and the only trouble is really the head of the head of the Qianguo Gong of Yunnan Yunnan military officer.

"Why don't you start a new team?" Wang Xingping said.

"Starting a new team?"

How could he not understand the meaning of this, but when he first came to the southwest and had no foundation, where did the army team say that there was one? Old Minister Shen suddenly felt that this Wang Xingping seemed to be recommending himself?

Wang Xingping didn't know that Shen Zhuo was wrong, so he said: "I once heard that the former Songpan general Yuan Shan was extremely knowledgeable, but because he offended the Duke of Qianguo, he was dismissed from office by a mistake, why don't you extend it to your command, it can be used." ”

Wang Xingping's words were very straightforward, this person knew that the soldiers were second, and the point was that the official who was dismissed because of Mu Changzuo was simply a natural helper of Fuchen. He thought for a while and said: "Seeing that Ren Yunnan is the commander of Qian Zhongxuan, he is transferred from Guizhou, and Yuan Shan's affairs may as well come to him, I think he can help." ”

Shen Juwei squinted at Wang Xingping for a while, and said with a smile: "Tiancheng came to find the old man this time, is it Zhang Xianggong's intention or are you coming yourself?" ”

Wang Xingping hurriedly got up when he heard this, "I can't hide anything, sir, it's true that Xingping has some things to worry about, since I asked, I will tell the truth." ”

"That's how it should be."

So, Wang Xingping omitted the key to Liu Rust and his entourage's private detention by the Mu family, and then added oil and vinegar to Shen Zuo.

"Can you find the Yunnan government before this matter?"

"I only know that he was detained by the Qianguo family near Jiaoshuidu in Qujing Mansion, and now I don't know where he is."

"This matter is easy to handle, you write down the situation of the family and the soldiers and civilians of Guiyang Wei in detail, I will first inquire about this matter in Qujing Mansion, if it doesn't work......"

Master Shen pondered for a moment, and then said, "If it doesn't work, the old man will personally go to the Duke of Qianguo to find someone to ......."

Very good, now the matter of the pro-people officials who should be in charge of the local government participating in the impeachment of the Mu family has also been paved -

Wang Xingping thought about it carefully, in fact, at the beginning, he was just excited by righteous indignation and wanted to vent his anger to his subordinates, but the more he came into contact with the family of Qianguo, the more he felt that this family was hateful, especially the gentleman who wanted to snatch love from his hand this morning.

But now it's a good thing, this Mu family has a very poor reputation in Shilin, although the Min Wang family also occupies a large number of Tianzhai manors and Huguang's business, but fortunately, it is still low-key. And the appearance is not ugly at least on the surface, on weekdays, whether it is the prince or the county kings and the general of the town below, in addition to operating their own industries, they also intend to build bridges and pave roads, print books and Buddhas, even if they are fond of Dandao, they are also guinea pigs who use themselves as test drugs, in Wang Xingping's view, in addition to mergers and monopolies, they are simply harmless to humans and animals.

And the relationship between the Qianguo family and the local government is not as harmonious as the Minwang family, which is still because of the usual dominance.

However, standing opposite the Mu clan has become a natural ally of the local scholars and the military and civilians, since he came to Yunnan, he felt that the environment here is simply unique, and it is much better than Guizhou to have a mine, it is really a good place to bury himself in farming, so dealing with the Mu clan has gradually changed from anger to strategy, and Wang Xingping has not thought about what to do later, but it is good to take advantage of this matter to stir up the water in Yunnan first.

During the conversation, he told Mu Qiyuan about Mu Qiyuan's coveting of his maid, and Shen Junqing, a young and vigorous person, listened to the natural attack, and the various evil things that Mu did in Yunnan were brought out again, and for a time this banquet became a public condemnation meeting of the Qianguo.

…………

Late at night, the Mansion of Qianguo.

An old man was talking to the Qing guest who had just returned from Jingshi in Fuzhong, and the perennial pampering and pampering of the prince of Qianguo made him feel wide and fat, but only the news of Jingshi was absolutely necessary to hear it in person.

"What's the big deal in Beijing lately?"

"The big thing is Liaodong, when the villain left Beijing, he just heard that the King of Qin and the King of De had donated silver to help him, and he was about to ask his grandfather to show it."

"How much was donated?"

"Three thousand taels for the King of Qin, one thousand taels for the King of De...... Grandpa, do we want to donate too? ”

"It's a fun thing to do."

"Then how much does Grandpa think is appropriate?"

"Eight hundred taels, my family is not a prince after all." Mu Changzuo himself wanted to laugh when he said it, but King Qin didn't say it first, King Zhu Changjie was sealed in Jinan, Shandong, and his family occupied a lot of Wangzhuang Wangdian in Linqing, but he only took out a thousand taels to make a sample. But after thinking about it, now that the political secretary is clearing the acres of land, it can't be said that there is no relationship with Dongyu, and at this time, I am afraid that the emperor will see more of an attitude, so even if he is a sample, he has to keep up.

"What's wrong with the Holy Dragon Body?" Mu Changzuo asked about the emperor's life as usual, perhaps in the eyes of these princes and nobles, only the emperor's health can be closely related to their vital interests, compared to Liaodong, which is thousands of miles away, does not touch them much at all, except for donating some silver, it has nothing to do with it, and the Liaoyu can't be sent to them anyway.

Qingke heard the old man mention the emperor, and there was a little more gossip in his words, "I heard something interesting, in recent months, Li Kezhuo, the Honglu Temple Cheng Li Kezhuo has made a contribution to the medicine and has become a celebrity in front of him, and the villain has also made friends with him this time, and I heard that the emperor intends to let him take over Shen Fujun's class." ”

Shen Youwei's official position before being transferred to Yunnan was Guanglu Siqing, in charge of the country's sacrificial court meetings and other affairs, and it is naturally a great grace for non-Jinshi to be able to get this important official position, but the officials and the cabinet are still arguing about this matter, saying that it is not in accordance with the rules, but Li Dianshan has received a lot of imperial rewards.

"Oh? What is the elixir that works so well. "The emperor is sick, and all the subjects in the world know about it, but this disease is not cured, which is the emperor's unprecedented admission in recent years.

"The villain was interested in asking Li Kezhuo, but he only knew that the pill was called the Autumn Fairy Pill, and the method of making it seemed to be extremely secretive, and he wanted to ask for a few pills for his grandfather, but he refused to agree."

There are not so many subdivisions of medicines in these years, but all the useful pills are curative of all diseases among the people, and this Qingke does not seem to have gone to the official Lao Guogong to have a leg disease similar to the emperor.

At this time, the steward of the house happened to come in to report.

"Grandpa, something happened to Xunzhuang over there in Qujing."
