.“ If the court really wants to investigate, it's a big deal that we will take the blame together! I'm not going to leave anyway. Li Hualong sat down as he spoke, picked up Qian Ning's teacup in a big way, and took a sip without any scruples.

"Alas!" Qian Ning sighed, "You Li Hualong have been an official for so long, why haven't you learned anything else, but you have learned Li Chengliang's set?" That's a standard military man! According to his **, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stay for a day in the court! A civil official must be like a civil official, you follow him to learn as much as you can......" He is not good at talking anymore, after all, he and Li Hualong have only been friends for a long time, and some things cannot be said too thoroughly.

"Isn't it just three sets of officials! It's not that I can't learn, but I look down on it! Li Hualong put the teacup on the desk heavily, and said with a negative attitude, "What are you thinking twice, isn't it just Mingzhe to protect yourself?" If all my Ming officials are afraid to avoid things when they encounter them, the world will be in chaos a long time ago! It's not interesting to talk about the big truth, since you are wearing this skin, you have to do something! Kong said that Chengren Meng said to take righteousness, even if he can't do it, he can't read the sage books for so many years, and he can't read them in the dog's stomach! ”

Qian Ning looked at him seriously, as if he had never known this person, and stared at him for a long time before saying, "You, Zhu Qianhu, are completely different from me. You Li Hualong can't go back to the border, Zhu Qianhu has always been the emperor's celebrity, and he can turn over in such a bad situation at Noongate; But what about me, I have no way out, let alone a choice! ”

"Then I shouldn't have come this time!" Li Hualong was a little angry.

"You shouldn't have come to Zhejiang, take this trip to troubled waters!" Qian Ning turned around and said this sentence suddenly.

As soon as he said this, Li Hualong's ambition to do a great job in Zhejiang suddenly came to naught. He was limp in his chair and couldn't speak for a long time.

"To tell you the truth, as soon as the national policy of changing rice to mulberry arrived in Zhejiang, I knew that I had no way out. It's just that the previous idea was to delay, and there is no other way to think of it! Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Zhejiang will never have peace, as long as it is dragged until the imperial court no longer pays attention to this matter, and there is no confidence, there will naturally be no follow-up. But you came to Zhejiang, and Zhu Qianhu also arrived in Zhejiang in the name of patrolling the border, and if you want to drag it out, you will definitely not be able to drag it out! At this time, Qian Ning's face was full of vicissitudes and emotion.

Zhu Yidao and Li Hualong glanced at each other, and they both saw the incomprehension and confusion in the eyes of both sides.

"The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all know that I am the person who was promoted by Chen Yubi and Zhao Zhigao. In the history books of thousands of generations, I, Qian Ning, am still Chen Yubi's person! But even the emperor who has lived in the deep palace for a long time trusts me, and the rest of the cabinet also trusts me, and leaving this matter to me to do, in fact, it is completely possible to elevate me, so that you can completely preside over the change of rice to mulberry, not just supervision! Why? It's because I'm channing pretending to be confused in small things, and never confused in big things! I am worthy of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor, and the court; I am worthy of millions of people in Zhejiang! Zhejiang's harvest in these years is actually far less than in previous years, but it still remains stable, the year before last year and last year, the tax was levied in advance, and the people only complained a little, although the tax revenue did not meet the requirements of the imperial court, but it was still as stable as a rock. ”

"It's still a sentence, stability is paramount, and the overall situation is important! It's not to brag, in my hometown, the villagers have given me several archways, I'm sixty years old, and I'm not a person with a good name, but I will never let people smash the archway erected! ”

Qian Ning stopped looking at the two of them, walked to the window and said to himself, which made Li Hualong and Zhu Yidao extremely shocked. There is such a person in such an intricate official website in Zhejiang, which is really an outlier. Not only did he not be tried by others to get him down, but he felt that Zhejiang couldn't do it without this person, and he couldn't do it.

"You all think that you see things thoroughly, know more about Zhejiang, and understand the situation more, but in fact? Let's just say that now this rice is changed to mulberry! As soon as the national policy came out, Zhejiang's large silk households and various forces began to compete for the fields, for them, what rice fields, what mulberry fields, what to plant What does it have to do with them? They don't need anything to plant in this field, they just need this land! Qian Ning raised his voice, for fear that the two would not understand.

Li Hualong suddenly realized, and then patted his head fiercely. He only wanted to do this thing well, but he didn't expect it to have such a deep meaning! Zhu Yidao also understood, this change from rice to mulberry has become the best excuse for the right annexation of land in the hands of these people in Zhejiang! The original national policy of benefiting the country and the people will become a disaster that only benefits them and brings disaster to the country and the people!

"You Li Hualong think that you have traveled all over northern Zhejiang, so you understand this? Do you know what people called Zhejiang in the past? Seven mountains, two rivers and one field! In total, half of the fields for growing grain will be allocated to those big households, but half of the people in Zhejiang will immediately have no food! So many people who don't have anything to eat** in such a place, this year is not anti, next year is not anti, what about the year after tomorrow?! When the time comes, I will have a lot of chaos in the Ming Dynasty, and the first sinner will be my Channing! In the future, the history books will nail me to the pillar of shame, I can be scolded by the world for a lifetime, but I can't be scolded by the world for thousands of generations! At this point, whether you come or not, I will not let them succeed, you can change rice to mulberry or not, and you can't let them take the land! But once you come, whether you help me or persuade me, you can't change the general trend! ”

Qian Ning's words were so loud that the two of them couldn't react for a while!

He approached the two of them, stared at Zhu Yidao's face with his eyes and said: "If you don't come at the beginning, I can still make a statement to Lord Shoufu, or I can explain the situation here to the emperor. But now? He lifted the notebook on the desk and lit it up, and then slammed it on the ground, "Because you are here, this is the result of what I said, I am not a person inside and outside, Chen Yubi and Zhao Zhigao no longer trust me, and the emperor will also have opinions about me, can you still do what you want me to do?" If it can still be done, when the court discusses at the beginning of that year, they will not fall on this matter in Zhejiang! ”

Zhu Yidao's brows became tighter and tighter. I didn't expect the situation in Zhejiang to be so complicated, whether the implementation of the national policy or not even involves the struggle of several bigwigs in the court, no matter what the situation, once it involves politics, it will be difficult to be good, which means that changing rice to mulberry is likely to rise to the point of life and death. The people below can't run, the people above don't want to get out, and no one else can think about it.

He had the idea of quitting for a moment. Did you ask the emperor for a leave of absence and go to Beijing to accompany his wife Shen Hui? She has been pregnant for two months, and it is the time when she should accompany her more, and this kung fu is in danger in Zhejiang, which is obviously a very unwise act. But another voice in his heart told him that the more time he came, the more he could not leave, and he had no way out. Now that he has Shen Hui and the baby who is about to be born, he can't let her mother and daughter fall into danger because of his own **, it didn't matter if he was alone before, but now it is absolutely different. The noon gate incident can't happen again no matter what!

Li Hualong looked at the ground under his feet and was silent. He waited for the rain to stop, waiting for his skills to be shown, but this was the result he was waiting for.

"Now no one listens to what I say, and I can't do what I want to do......" Qian Ning sat on the ground with his hands on his head, and looked out of the door with a dull gaze.

The silk workshops of the Ming Dynasty were often controlled by the government, and those large silk households were often agents of the government, and some of the silk woven was sold overseas, and part was sent to the palace. Therefore, the scale is quite large, and since there is the full support of the government, silk is not a problem at all; However, buying silk from the market cannot meet the demand for a large number of weaving, so what all the big farmers hope for most is to have thousands of acres of mulberry fields under their direct control.

In the northeast of Hangzhou West City, there is a huge weaving workshop, a one-zhang wide loom, there are more than a dozen horizontal rows, and there is a passage for two people to pass in the middle of each one; Walking along the passage to the end, there are thirty rows of looms in rows! Each loom was weaving silk of different colors, and the sound of weaving came and went, and the two people had to raise their voices when they spoke, otherwise they would not be able to hear clearly.

"How many pieces of silk can you weave every day with this weaving method?" Yang Jinshan shouted at the top of his voice, his ears were almost deafened by the sound of the loom. He didn't like this place, and it was rare to come once a month, but he couldn't come if he didn't come, he had to know everything about the situation in the weaving workshop, and the old and second ancestors asked before they could reply. Moreover, he must be familiar with the use of the palace, how many horses of silk must be handed over every month, and how much income must be able to be clearly explained.

"It's twelve hours to change three shifts, and one loom can weave six feet a day!" A middle-aged man dressed in coarse cloth clothes and stepping on a pair of cloth shoes, looking extremely ordinary, also responded loudly.

"Weaving like this every day, it's a little more than 10,000 horses a year? Your workshop is the biggest workshop in my Ming Dynasty! Yang Jinshan seemed to be a little dissatisfied, but he had to speak loudly face-to-face in this place, and there was nothing he could do, and the middle-aged man's answer made him a little anxious, so he couldn't help but make his voice louder.

"Yes! I have a total of 30 workshops, and I can only weave more than 200,000 horses every year! No way! The loss of the loom is also large! The weavers have to take turns to rest! "The account in the heart of the middle-aged man is not ordinarily clear, how many years has he been in this business, and he has served the father-in-law in the palace for I don't know how many, where do I not know what Yang Jinshan is thinking in his heart?
