.“ Be. The housekeeper replied lightly and then said loudly: "Wanli ten years Jiangnan Weaving Bureau reported to the ceremonial supervisor, the weaver Sun Jin was diligent and meritorious, and made an important contribution to the exhibition of my Ming silk industry. ”

Qin Mi was stunned, and then looked at the four women who had a strong smell of wind and dust, and looked at the gauze hats and robes and jade belt official boots they were holding in their hands, and there was gradually a lot of anger in their eyes, but they quickly reined in, and said coldly to Sun Jin: "It turns out that the imperial court still has a special case of rewarding businessmen for their fame, no wonder this set of official uniforms should be entrusted to the hands of women!" ”

Sun Jin could completely hear the undisguised sarcasm in his words, but he smiled faintly disappreciatively: "What Lord Qin said is extremely true. Although this fame is a gift from the emperor, Sun has never dared to wear it, after all, it is not in line with my ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty," said this, and the words suddenly changed, "But since the emperor rewarded me with a meritorious name, Sun is not just a businessman." Since even the emperor approves that my grandson is an official and businessman, escorting the grain to buy the field, such a big event, of course, it must be solemn and good. I don't know if Lord Qin agrees with this? ”

The ancestors became the law, and the country's famous weapons can be changed directly to the emperor through the eunuchs! Such an indiscriminate gift to businessmen, but also to force themselves to recognize, it can be seen how far the eunuchs, officials, and businessmen have colluded for personal gain! An official is an official, a businessman is a businessman, even if he wants to collude, it should be an official to suppress a businessman, how can he collude so that a businessman can influence the official? Merchants are businessmen, they will always only care about and see what is in their eyes, they will not consider long-term interests at all, let alone care about the emperor's country and nation, they will only care about how much silver they can earn! If their fathers, mothers, wives and children could sell them for money, I am afraid that they would have already been sold a long time ago, how can such a selfish and short-sighted interest group allow them to control the name of the country?! If the Ming Dynasty wants to develop, of course, it must rely on merchants, but they will always be just a tool, and they can only be a tool under the control of absolute power, but they must not hold power, let alone elect their so-called agents to infiltrate the court and disrupt politics! It's good now, I actually got a high-sounding official body through the eunuch, and it was given by the emperor, the sky is above, are they going to cut off the roots of my Ming Dynasty? !

The person in front of him was playing the signboard of the Weaving Bureau, that is, selling the people's fields under the brand of the palace, and he dared to be so swaggering, the anger in Qin Mi's chest was blazing, but the more he reminded himself at this time, the more calm he had to be, and looked deeply into Sun Jin's eyes and said: "You just said it yourself, the emperor rewarded you with fame like this is not in line with the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, do you want me to recognize your words now?" ”

I have dealt with many powerful officials, and it is really the first time that Sun Jin, such a sharp and compelling official who does not leave a way back. What's going on with this Qin Mi, what's going on with the imperial court, it's not enough for my Ming Dynasty to have one Hai Rui, do you want to have a few more Hai Rui? It was a real mess in the world! However, it has always been Sun Jin's forte, not to mention that this time it was originally a battle against the water, when he met this kind of person, the melancholy and loss along the way was immediately turned into a fighting spirit by the other party's wit, he said with a smile: "It's been almost ten years, every time I see this set of official uniforms, Sun is a little nervous, and finally met a person who can return the official uniform grade to the court for me, Lord Qin, the hungry people are terrible, and the grain and rice are on the boat, this is the big thing." Should Sun wear an official uniform or brocade and satin, can you talk about it later? ”

"No!" Qin Mi said categorically, "If you are a serious official, you must immediately change into official clothes, if you are just a businessman, please change into cloth clothes immediately!" ”

Sun Jin frowned a little and said, "Does wearing official clothes and changing cloth clothes have anything to do with today's disaster relief?" ”

"Of course it is!" Qin Mi's voice became more and more stern, "You are playing the brand of the Weaving Bureau, using the brand of the palace to sell the people's fields cheaply, if you are an official wearing an official uniform, I will go to the Weaving Bureau; But if you are a merchant and put on a cloth garment, I will take you down at once!" Finally, I would like to ask again, are you changing your official uniform or changing your cloth clothes?! ”

Sun Jin smiled and nodded, then shook his head again: "I have already said that what clothes you wear has nothing to do with today's disaster relief!" ”

"Then you mean that the matter of selling the fields of the victims has nothing to do with the Weaving Bureau, and it has nothing to do with the palace? Come! Several sergeants responded.

"Take down the lanterns of the Weaving Bureau on the grain ship first, and then take the people!" Qin Mi pointed to the lantern that had been hanging on the ship and ordered.

"Wait!" Sun Jin also immediately stood up and shouted, "But I don't know why Lord Qin wants to take the lanterns on the ship?" ”

"Selling the people's land under the brand of the palace, slandering the court, and trying to provoke the people's uprising, why do you dare to ask me?" Qin Mi's eyes stared at him like a knife.

"That's it?" A hint of sneer appeared on the corner of Sun Jin's mouth, and then he turned around and yelled at the grain ship: "Put down the post under the lantern!" ”

Immediately, all the silk posts that were still hanging under the lanterns of each boat were put down. Everyone's eyes were on the posts for that moment—each with four big words written on it: Disaster relief!

Qin Mi also looked at the post, and suddenly there was a deep doubt in his eyes. Because on the mast, the three red characters of the lantern "Weaving Bureau" on the top and the "Disaster Relief" in the post below are just right, and they have become the big words "Weaving Bureau Disaster Relief" in the following post.

Immediately afterwards, there was a commotion on the shore, and the hearts of the victims boiled and excited at that moment! It turns out that the emperor has always forgotten us, and he still remembers us! The applause rang out into one, and then the sound of the mountain calling for long live the emperor. Qin Mi was even more at a loss, what benefits could the Weaving Bureau get through these seven big characters, and what benefits could he Sun Jin get through this? Doesn't he know that the emperor can't openly buy land? Not for any reason! And on the contrary, those officials will definitely attack the emperor at all costs, and attack Zhejiang's change of rice to mulberry, and immediately this reform will be beaten to death with a stick, and it will become a forbidden area in the future!

Zhao Mansion Lobby. Several people sat there gloomily, no one spoke, Zhao Zhigao looked at the beam of the room with blank eyes, Chen Yubi was also silent with a blue face, the heavy rain outside the door was still falling, and several people stood aside with clean clothes in their hands, not daring to move. Zhao Zhigao was still wearing soaked clothes after he went back, and Chen Yubi didn't dare to change them, so he had to sit trembling and wait for him to speak.

Luo Jinwen and Wang Min stood honestly under Chen Yubi, and they didn't dare to say a word.

"There are so many vassal kings, as well as the middle palace, and half of the annual expenses are accounted for...... The year before last, half of the palace was repaired, 30% was spent on the counterinsurgency in Ningxia, and 20% was spent on the counterinsurgency in Banzhou...... The treasury is empty, and when the treasury is empty, it is said that we have fallen! Chen Yubi raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zhigao, knowing that he had to speak, so he had to whisper, "I also said that changing rice to mulberry is to make up for the deficit for us...... Copying so many treasures from Bobai's house, as well as how many years of silver taels from Banzhou's toast family, actually ......"

As he spoke, he raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Zhigao, who was still godless, and the dissatisfaction in his chest suddenly leaked out: "You guys, talk about it!" Whose treasury is supposed to belong to?! ”

"......Someone is coming" Zhao Zhigao finally said a sentence softly, and then coughed violently, Luo Jinwen and Wang Min immediately ran over, stroked their chests, patted their backs, and were busy for a while, but after he finished coughing, he actually said "come here" again.

The housekeeper at the door appeared at the right time and said cautiously: "Xiangye, what do you always command?" ”

"Take ...... Bring a knife...... To Chen Yubi...... Let him kill me, kill me......" Zhao Zhigao waved weakly.

Hearing him say this, the steward trembled with fright, and immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed, and several other people quickly knelt down when they heard this. Chen Yubi was awakened by what he said, there are so many ears and eyes inside and outside the house, in case it reaches the emperor's ears...... I can't help it. What a lot of pressure over the years! Officialdom has always been like this, big things are not confused, small things are confused, some things don't talk about their own secondary assistant, even the cabinet can't do too much. The people below want to get some benefits, it's not that they can't get it, but they can't get it! But I have been in a high position for a long time, how can I be completely clear about the following situation? The situation is so complicated, even if you can control your own people, you can't control other people's people! There are some things that even the cabinet is powerless, as long as the overall situation is guaranteed, as long as those broken things are not exposed, and they are still within the scope of their own suppression and control, they can be solved. This time, the situation in Zhejiang is completely the waste He Jinxian, who made a mess of things, and in turn asked the cabinet to wipe his ass for him! As soon as he thought of this, Chen Yubi was furious, and then Qian Ning was annoyed when he looked away at himself, but now the matter is irreparable, even if Qian Ning is not involved, he is indispensable for the crime of negligence.

"Let's all go out first!" Luo Jinwen glanced at the butler and the people in the lobby. Immediately, these irrelevant personnel disappeared cleanly, Chen Yubi looked at him, then at Zhao Zhigao, reluctantly stepped forward, and patted him gently on the back.

"Don't worry, two adults!" Wang Min also spoke, "The top priority is to find out who did the stupid thing of buying land under the guise of the Weaving Bureau?" This point is very important, it stands to reason that He Jinxian can't be confused no matter how confused he is, Qian Ning still has a big picture of the overall situation, He Jinxian wants to do this, he will stop it with all his might! Because he can't get out! Then only the Weaving Bureau remains, and they may have done it themselves, but what good is it for them......
