Chapter 204
This business must be done! That's 300,000 horses, and the price of a piece of silk is fifteen taels of silver, and hundreds of thousands of horses are millions of taels! If you can make such a stroke, not to mention the good relationship between the ancestors in the palace, even the emperor and his old man have to praise us! Yang Gonggong carefully thought about it, so he happily agreed. > he has already received the news that the emperor is going to carry out the national policy of changing rice to mulberry in Zhejiang, which means that the area of mulberry fields will be increased by half, and the looms of the Weaving Bureau will also increase; However, I am afraid that I will encounter unprecedented difficulties when changing rice to mulberry...... This is not your own business, you don't need to think about it, no matter how you toss, Zhejiang must complete the big business of 300,000 pieces of silk this year!
Qian Ning and He Jinxian were originally going to go to the county near Hangzhou to deal with the violent resistance of the people to the law, the national policy has been implemented for a month, the following backlash is very strong, and it must be suppressed to ensure the smooth implementation of the national policy, but on the way, Yang Gonggong of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau sent people to invite them, saying that there are several overseas merchants who want to buy silk in large quantities, and he can only represent the imperial court, not the local government, and they have to accompany them. Compared with the implementation of the national policy, the sale of silk is a big deal! That's a lot of kickbacks in your pocket! So the two of them turned around and went to the weaving bureau.
As soon as this business was negotiated, Qian Ning's expression was much more relaxed, and He Jinxian lowered his voice and said, "Lord Qian, this deposit matter ......"
Qian Ning mysteriously waved his left index finger.
He Jinxian suddenly realized, nodded with satisfaction, and after Gonggong Yang sent those overseas merchants away, he opened his mouth with a smile: "The palace says that Gonggong Yang is the reincarnation of the God of Wealth, and it is indeed worthy of the name!" Such a big silk deal, I haven't had it in Zhejiang for at least several years! If Gonggong Wei in the palace knew about it, he didn't know how happy he would be! I see, maybe I'll send you to the superintendent! ”
"Don't mind where you are all doing things for the emperor and the court? Long live the master, the master has already announced the resumption of the last dynasty, don't we slaves and maids have to pay attention to it, right? If this deal can really be done, it is still the credit of the two adults, if the national policy of changing rice to mulberry is implemented in place this year, the two adults, the future is bright! Yang Jinshan smiled and arched his hand at the two of them, and the little eunuch who followed with him immediately respectfully sent a part of the golden deposit to the two of them.
As soon as he mentioned changing rice to mulberry, He Jinxian's face immediately became extremely ugly. If this deal is not done today, the Zhejiang government will not have so much pressure, but 300,000 horses of silk, which means that there will be more looms and silkworms, and the first step is to increase mulberry leaves to expand the scope of mulberry cultivation and silkworm breeding. It is this first step that has now brought the two people back to life, and the people of Chun'an County have openly resisted violently.
When it comes to Chun'an County, it can be regarded as a special case in the counties below Zhejiang. Back then, Master Hai Ruihai used to be the magistrate here, so no matter who the court put here, the people below would unconsciously compare him with Lord Hai, and they were often far more dissatisfied than satisfied. This is simply a certainty, how many sea masters are there in the world? And who can compare to him? The result is also very natural, most of the counties will not be able to work for long before they roll up and leave, but the current Chun'an Zhixian Chang Yumin. This person's personality is a little cowardly, but the biggest advantage is that he will choose balance, he can always keenly grasp the balance between the government and the people, so the people don't have a good impression of him, of course, relative to Lord Hai; It's not a bad feeling, after all, he still thinks about the common people in many places.
But as soon as this matter of changing rice to mulberry came out, he had no choice. When the cabinet's urgent delivery was just issued, Chang Yumin took the county Cheng and others to run down every day, and persuaded the people to change the rice fields to mulberry fields. But for the people of Chun'an County, planting rice fields has been the foundation of their survival for many years, so how can they easily change it? As soon as I heard that it was going to be changed to a mulberry field, I immediately fried the pot. Poor Chang Yumin held down the gourd and lifted the scoop, and he was busy for more than half a month without any effect.
I don't know where the rumor is, but it has to be done in October. How many days is left until October? The common people were originally like powder kegs about to explode, and this news completely lit the fuse. Not only did everyone gather to storm the local county government, but also claimed that if they wanted to forcibly destroy the land, they would have to go to Beijing to sue the royal court! How can this royal petition be falsely accused? Even if he Chang Yumin is suppressed, the cabinet will have a very unfavorable opinion of him, and his political future in the rest of his life is completely over! He didn't dare to cover the lid anymore, and hurriedly asked the county to go to Hangzhou Mansion to report the news.
The prefect Ma Yuan has also been anxious about this matter. Two months have passed, and the change from rice to mulberry has only been completed less than 30%! Isn't that killing him? He relied on Chen Yubi, the second assistant of the cabinet, to come up, and after he was admitted to the Jinshi, he was highly appreciated by Chen Yubi, and in order to make enough political capital for himself, he was sent to Hangzhou to be the prefect. I heard that someone wanted to get Chen Yubi down in front of the emperor, not only was he anxious, but if Chen Yubi collapsed, he wouldn't stay long! Only then did he take the magistrates of the two counties that had already begun to make trouble to extinguish the fires everywhere.
However, Ma Yuan was not in the Weaving Bureau at this time, he hurried to the county again, and the Weaving Bureau came to the merchants, Yang Jinshan could not find Ma Yuan, so he could only invite the two parents of Zhejiang to hurry up. At this moment, the official who had been waiting outside the door hurriedly walked in and said to Qian Ning: "My lord, the people of Chun'an County have gone to the Hangzhou Mansion to make trouble!" At least a few thousand too! You see......"
"Got it, got it!" Qian Ning waved his hand irritably, and then looked at Yang Jinshan helplessly. Yang Jinshan, who had already suffered a loss, picked up the cup and drank the good Biluochun, then pursed his lips before saying: "Two adults, you two can do local things, but this deal can't be delayed!" If you delay the affairs in the palace, not to mention whether the ancestors will punish you, it is the emperor and his old man, it is not easy to explain......"
On the way to the mansion, He Jinxian scolded angrily and in a low voice, why did this idiot Ma Yuan bring the people to Hangzhou? Isn't that a deliberate attempt to add to the chaos? And that Chang Yumin, who is usually quite clever, why is he so slow to react this time? When the horse went far away, he also brought him a team of soldiers and horses, could it be that those people were not even afraid of soldiers?
"Don't scold......" Qian Ning sighed, "What should come is coming after all, you can't stop it even if you want to......"
There is still some distance from the Hangzhou government office, and I saw that the door of the government office was crowded with people who didn't know how many people were crowded, or standing or sitting, blocking the originally small road in front of the door. The people of Hangzhou also followed and coaxed, and the scene was extremely chaotic. Qian Ning's brows couldn't help but tighten: This Qian Ning doesn't maintain order, what kind of system is this Hangzhou Mansion making trouble! He Jinxian was born in martial arts, and it took a lot of effort from his family to get him to his current position, he didn't want to do anything to raise the punishment and press the probation, but he still liked the feeling of being in the army; As soon as he saw this kind of scene, he was about to rush up with his cuffs in a hot temper, but Qian Ning grabbed him: "Don't go, let's go through the back door!" ”
"Yes...... Let these Diao people openly make trouble in front of the government yamen, what prestige does our Zhejiang government have at all? They haven't demolished the government yet! He Jinxian pointed at the people and scolded bitterly.
"Don't worry, you can't dismantle it. If it is really demolished, I will resign from my official position. Let's go through the back door! Qian Ning looked at the people of Chun'an County who were surging in front of him, and shook his head speechlessly.
Entering the mansion, Ma Yuan was smashing dishes and bowls, pointing at Chang Yumin and Zhang Liangzhi and shouting: "Lock up all those troublemakers!" How many closes as many as there are! The official doesn't believe it, these Diao people still want to demolish the government? ! ”
"There are millions of people in Zhejiang, can you catch it?" Qian Ning said with a frown. He doesn't like to hear this the most, he arrests people at every turn, locks people up, can you catch these ordinary people? Closed? So what do you want you to do as a prefect? Although it can't be called a parent official, there are states and counties below, and there are cabinets, courts, and emperors above! If you can't settle everything within the scope of your rights, and you have to trouble the above, this prefect doesn't want it!
As soon as he saw that it was the political envoy and the envoy who had arrived, Ma Yuan immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, as if someone who had been trekking for a long time had found the organization: "My lord! I just want to do a good job of the things explained by the court, but why is it so difficult! These people did not understand the suffering of the imperial court at all! I know that changing rice to mulberry is bound to be an arduous process, but it must be carried out! When I was taxed in advance last year, I knew that my Ming treasury would bottom out when I saw it, but it was not a long-term solution to eat grain, and only by finding a way to open up sources and reduce expenditure, it was just ......"
"Alright, alright! Don't talk about this, the people at the gate, let me persuade you to retreat! But you have to remember that this change from rice to mulberry is a national policy, and it must be implemented! But also pay attention to the way! The people of every county came to the government to make trouble, what does this make the court think of us? You still have to change your temper! Qian Ning slowed down his tone and kindly comforted Ma Yuan. In all fairness, in the whole of Zhejiang, he is the most tired and does the most things in Hangzhou, and his way of doing things is indeed a little impatient, but this person is rare to know that he is an official who relieves worries for the imperial court, relieves worries for the upper officials, and relieves the difficulties below, Qian Ning has always admired him, but unfortunately, there is no strong enough political achievements to support, just want to mention him for fear that others will not be convinced. As a result, such a national policy was implemented again!
