Chapter 208

Lao Zhu smiled, kept playing with the jade pendant given to him by Wanli in his hand, and said slowly: "It seems that this Qianhu is indeed not qualified to take care of the idle affairs of your place, but it is just ...... Holding this thing in his hand, it can be regarded as the emperor's face, if he really smears his old man and loses face, it seems that I have no responsibility, right? ”

Several people looked at the jade pendant in his hand and suddenly changed color.

Ma Yuan's originally angry flushed face turned pale. He is not a *son, but he has nowhere to send his belly, and he can only face this small thousand households. But now the emperor's jade pendant appeared in his hand, which meant that he had the right to mobilize anyone within the range of a thousand households! You may not be able to rely on this thing**, but it can make all the sergeants give up resistance or give up attacking.

Qian Ning's face shrank sharply, and it returned to its natural nature. He has been an official for much longer than others, of course he knows the energy of this Zhu Yidao, since he has the emperor's waist jade pendant in his hand, as long as he takes it out, no matter what he does, only the emperor can cure his crimes. It's just that he didn't expect that the emperor would give his jade pendant to such a person, and it was really not a wise move for Ma Yuan to offend him now!

"In the name of the government, I borrowed one million stone of grain from the rice bank in the rice market, how much has I borrowed now?" Li Hualong resolved the embarrassment between the two sides in a timely manner, and turned to Qian Ning.

He was stunned for a moment and said, "Very little, all say that there is a shortage of food." ”

"What about the grain transferred from other provinces?" Li Hualong was a little anxious. If you can't borrow food, the people who have changed the rice fields to mulberry fields will definitely not be willing, and if there is no food, it means that many people will starve to death this year, which means that the people are afraid that they will **!

Qian Ning sighed and said, "As in previous years, I don't want to give more." ”

Li Hualong raised his voice, revealing a little hoarseness: "I am the superintendent of the Emperor's Qin faction, and I must be responsible for the millions of living beings in Zhejiang!" It's the same for all of you! Changing rice to mulberry is a national policy and must be done, but the mulberry seedlings now go down to the autumn and there are not a few young leaves to raise silkworms in the late autumn and autumn. The government does not lend grain, but only asks the rice farmers to change the rice fields, and there will be no food to eat after the autumn, so they will rebel against the people! 300,000 horses of silk should be produced every year, and not one horse should be missing; But in order to produce 300,000 more silks, there are 300,000 anti-people in Zhejiang, and I, Li Hualong, am afraid that I will not be able to explain it! ”

At this point, he stopped. There was a dead silence in the lobby.

Qian Ning pondered for a moment, and then turned his gaze to Ma Yuan: "The captor was released immediately." The weirs of the Xin'an River immediately released water, and you took the county magistrates to do it in person. ”

Ma Yuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something

C, Qian Ning's brows furrowed: "Go ahead!" Only then did he slowly pick up the gauze hat on the table, glanced at Zhu Yidao with a complicated expression, turned around and walked out.

Yang Jinshan, who had been closing his eyes and didn't dare to look at Zhu Yidao, finally opened his eyes at this time and looked at Qian Ning: "Lord Qian, I can't take care of your affairs in Zhejiang, but the business of 300,000 horses of silk is what I did for the imperial court." At present, the inventory of Jiangning Weaving Workshop, Suzhou Weaving Workshop and Jiangnan Weaving Bureau is less than 100,000 horses, including the use of the palace this year. According to the existing mulberry fields in the two provinces, even if the goods are paid in installments within a year, they will be about 200,000 horses shorter by then. At that time, the cabinet didn't ask you, but the palace wanted to ask me. ”

Li Hualong glanced at him and immediately took over: "I will explain everything to the imperial court today, and ask the cabinet to urge the neighboring provinces to transfer grain to us. There are boats carrying grain on the canal every day, and there are borrowed and repaid, so why can't they borrow? Those who do not want to borrow grain will be asked for their sins by hoarding! Even if you force them to scold me at the court, you can't force the people! ”

Zhu Yidao looked at Yang Jinshan, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating with interest. This guy's life is really big, he escaped in Xinyang County, and now he actually changed his vest and went to the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau to become a big eunuch! In fact, how did he know that Yang Jinshan had no way at that time, Xinyang County Cheng Wang De only knew too many things, and he knew too many things in the mine, so Wang De could be arrested, but he must not bite him out, and he must not involve the palace! In case Wang Decai shakes out the things in the mine, this matter will definitely not end easily, and at least a dozen heads will have to be lost.

What's more, at that time, Li Lianxiong was still in the eunuch of the palm print, and one sentence could determine the life and death of Yang Jinshan, so he had to pretend to be crazy*. As soon as Wang Decai's matter was over, everything was in his imagination, and he was transferred back to the celebrant again.

But the life of the celebrant was extremely painful, especially for someone like Yang Jinshan who was transferred back. Every day, he didn't even dare to go out of the door, and he had to continue to pretend to be * when he finally went out, and then the extremely low-level sweeping eunuchs and gatekeepers around him all pointed to his backbone and pointed: "See, it's this idiot, guarding the rich mine as a mine supervisor, and he can be brought back!" "Every time this happens, his heart is dripping blood! After decades of hard work, back to before entering the palace!

But fortunately, Li Lianxiong was taken down, it is said that he was the common man named Zhu Yidao at that time, but now he has become a thousand households of Jinyiwei. was brought down by him, which made Yang Jinshan panic all day long: Who is Li Lianxiong? Those ruthless and black-bellied people were all taken down by Zhu Yidao, if he really wanted to clean himself up, wouldn't it be like chopping melons and vegetables? But fortunately, Lao Zhu and the others did not plan to pull this matter into the palace, nor did they plan to treat him as a little eunuch.

Li Lianxiong went down, Wang An also went down, and after the Wei Dynasty came to power, Yang Jinshan's spring finally arrived!

Because he hugged a thick thigh: Wei Zhongxian, the godson of the Wei Dynasty. I don't know which tendon is wrong with Wei Zhongxian, he just looks at this little eunuch pleasing to the eye, plus Yang Jinshan, who has been tortured by a blow, is more sophisticated and more careful, and finally won Wei Zhongxian's favor. The palm print eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch was replaced, which meant that the chief eunuch of some key departments was replaced, and Li Lianqi, the former chief eunuch of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, was counted backwards by the Wei Dynasty, and his godson Wei Zhongxian, who was closer than his own son, naturally could not be sent to such a distant place, so he could only choose an obedient character.

Obedient, no ambition, and a little greedy for money and lustful, who else can the entire celebrant and eunuch have besides him Yang Jinshan?

So there is no doubt that Yang Jinshan's salted fish turned over and ran from the hinterland of the Central Plains to this beautiful Jiangnan water town, where there are women who are more beautiful than the water town. He can wake up smiling when he dreams, and his luck is too good; I never dreamed that I could still meet Zhu Yidao here, it seems that my life is really bad! But fortunately, I can't fight with him, so it's not a big deal. It's just that Yang Jinshan didn't dare to look at Zhu Yidao's playful eyes, and he felt uncomfortable at first sight.

Zhang Liangcai of Jiandezhi County looked at everyone and said in a rough voice: "Of course, changing rice to mulberry must be implemented!" The common people are unwilling, although they have their own reasons, but they cannot delay the national policy! It's a big deal, our government will give them some compensation, whoever first changes the rice field to a mulberry field will reward him with 100 taels of silver! There will be brave men under the heavy reward, I don't believe it, is there really anyone who doesn't want to? ”

Zhu Yidao looked at him appreciatively, this brother is still very thoughtful! Why did you always think he was pustules before? But Qian Ning said coldly: "Our official mansion? Is it your county government, or the prefect of Hangzhou, or my Zhejiang political envoy? The imperial court implements national policy, but asks us to give silver, what is the reason? ”

Zhang Liangcai choked the shell. It's just an impulse, it's just that, how can you really do such a thing? Seeing that the atmosphere was depressed again, Lao Zhu had no choice but to speak: "There are many ways to do this, and it doesn't necessarily have to be strong, not only to use strength for those who resist, but also to use softness for those who cooperate, and both hands should be hard." The people refused to cooperate because they were afraid that they would not have food to eat, and they would not be able to afford or buy food. If you want them to have peace of mind, you first have to get the food in place. The neighboring provinces are unwilling to give more, so let's go to the court and see if we can buy it from them at a price lower than the market price, and let the court buy it, instead of us buying it privately! There are so many provinces around Zhejiang, and each province can be more even, wouldn't it be good to pass this hard time? ”

Everyone in the lobby looked at Zhu Yidao with strange eyes. A military attache is a military attachΓ©, and this consideration is simple, let the imperial court pay money to buy grain for Zhejiang? It's a shame that he came up with it! It's no wonder that the group of grandfathers in the cabinet didn't tear him up. Lao Zhu looked at everyone suspiciously, and continued: "Of course, this silver will not let the court come out in vain: how much silver is out, how much more will be paid when the tax is paid next year, and the difference can be made up according to the practice of private commercial banks, and the interest can be calculated!" Once the mulberry seedlings are planted and the task of 300,000 horses of silk is completed, I am afraid that the cabinet will laugh from ear to ear! Moreover, if Zhejiang's farmland can really be allocated half of the mulberry fields, the silk produced will definitely not be only 300,000 horses! Have you calculated this account: let those overseas merchants become our wholesalers, if each of them can share tens of thousands of batches for us, this silk will only sell more! ”

Qian Ning's eyes brightened up more and more. That's a really good idea! So far, most of the overseas merchants have purchased for the royal families of various countries, and the number is relatively limited; But they will only have more contact with each other than with the Ming Dynasty, if they can develop some wholesalers among them, and buy silk from Zhejiang every year, then the silver ...... This military attache can actually do business, and even He Jinxian's eyes are a little different when he looks at him.
