Chapter 438: Long Strategy, Instigation

"The law of shipping began in the Qin Dynasty, and in the Tang Dynasty, it was used as a capital, and then it was used in the country from the Yuan ......."

"The sea uses a sharp-bottomed boat, which is very different from the river boat, and is afraid of the light and the heavy, and is afraid of drifting. Storms at sea are usually in the middle of summer, and if the ship is sailed from the first month, it is placed with a fixing needle, and it is cleared by someone who is familiar with the seaway, and the disaster of capsizing can be avoided......"

"There are two long-term strategies for shipping, one is to use official transportation, and the other is to use civil transportation. The official transport is made by the official ship of 1,000 stones, and the military man carries 800 stones, and 200 stones are allowed to carry private goods. The public and private use of the Beijing division are all from the south, the canal is narrow and shallow, and the cargo ships need to let the grain ships, once the passage is slow, the foot fee is several times the price of the goods, so the goods benefit the people and the people are tired. If this policy is implemented, the grain ships from the south must carry the southern goods, and the empty ships from the north must be fully loaded with the northern goods, then the southern goods will be passed to the north every day, and the northern goods will flow to the south every day, which is the policy of a rich country. ”

"If it is a civil transport, the government will recruit civilian ships and use grain ballast, so that civilian ships can carry more grain in addition to cargo, and they will be allowed to pay for their feet. The foot cost is more economical than that of transportation, and merchant ships can benefit from freight transportation. These two methods are convenient for the people, and there is no shortage of military and civilian ......"

Zhang Yue wrote and scribbled on the paper, while Du Juan waited for him to finalize a manuscript before picking up a copy and copying it aside. Lingxi and Autumn Scar Amber took turns to bring tea and hand water to grind ink and lay paper together, and the lights in the east room were lit from the moonlight to the fourth watch, and in the end it was densely copied ten pieces of paper. Du Juan dried the ink and showed it to Zhang Yue, and the husband and wife had to ponder for a while, and only then did they each rub their sore wrists in the end.

"Although it has been written, at this time, it is no more than when the emperor ordered me to write a reading notebook, so I can't rush in and submit it, I have to find a convenience." Zhang Yue pondered for a moment, then raised his head and said to Du Juan, "Although it is extremely easy to enter the crown prince, this is beyond the crown prince, and the name is not good." Now the plan has to get through the way in the palace. ”

"I'm afraid that Gonggong Lu can't do it, although he said that he was newly promoted to the young eunuch of the ceremonial eunuch, but just listening to what he said to you today, it can be seen that he is unwilling to take on this kind of involvement, and you also said that he is insatiable in Qingzhou Jiangnan. As for Father-in-law Hai's politeness to you, it's just for the sake of the Zhang family's face, and you can't trust you with big things. Seeing Zhang Yue nodded approvingly, Du Juan smiled slightly, and immediately understood, "Are you thinking of the imperial eunuch Zhang Qian and Zhang Gonggong?" ”

"Yes, Father-in-law Zhang has always had a good relationship with our family, if he can deliver a message in front of the emperor, so that the emperor can get up to me to carefully draw up a shipping strip, so that it can really be effective. In this way, you go to meet the eldest uncle tomorrow, I heard that Grandpa Zhang often goes to the British Mansion to reward objects, and tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will definitely go. ”

Zhang Yue handed the copied codex to Du Juan, and she carefully put it away, and then sighed deeply: "To be honest, I haven't looked forward to being promoted as much as I am today. If you can enter and leave the Qianqing Palace from time to time, you don't have to be so troublesome. ”

"If you can enter and leave the Qianqing Palace from time to time, don't talk about me, the whole family will be frightened!"

Hearing Du Juan's words, Zhang Yue couldn't help but be stunned, and then thought about it. Under the emperor's anger, Shangshu and his ministers both said that if he was in prison, he would go to prison, and if he was always relative, there would be more opportunities to make mistakes, and there would be more opportunities to be angered.

After washing and changing clothes and going to bed, he was obviously very sleepy, but even if he closed his eyes, he still couldn't sleep, and after a long time, he simply turned over, only to find that Du Juan on the opposite side was also awake. Seeing that her plain face was full of tears, but just now he didn't notice any movement from the person next to the pillow, he couldn't help but reach out and gently wipe it on that face.

"Don't worry, I've got you covered!"

Early in the morning, before dawn, Zhang Yue, who had breakfast, hurried out of the door, and when he saw Hu Qi coming immediately, he knew that the matter entrusted to him to investigate yesterday had a result, and after getting on the horse, he ordered him to step forward and parallel. At this time, Xuanwumen Street was silent, and occasionally people passed, and most of them were officials who were in a hurry to the early dynasty, so there was no one to disturb and talk.

"Yesterday's situation was very strange, the emperor first summoned Fang Shangshu, but Fang Shangshu said that he should temporarily suspend the army and raise the people, and then conduct a decisive battle after the treasury was full, so the emperor was not very happy, and ordered him to retreat, and then summoned Xia Shangshu. Xia Shangshu said that the household grain has been used up, and if it is for the soldiers to prepare for border troubles, it is enough, but if hundreds of thousands of soldiers are to be mobilized to march north, I am afraid that the food and salary are still insufficient. So the emperor was angry and ordered Xia Shangshu to go to Kaiping to take stock of the grain reserves, drove the people away, and called Wu Shangshu of the Criminal Department. ”

"As a result, Wu Shangshu still said the same words, and the emperor had a seizure?"

Seeing Hu Qi nodded, Zhang Yue didn't know what expression he should show. Since it is a collegiate discussion, it is natural for the four of them to have the same opinion, and Zhu Di made a big fuss because they disobeyed their own wishes. It's just that since it's a big fuss, then with the emperor's temperament, it would be good if the anger of most of the days passed, but it had to be prevented.

Sure enough, since it was already an evening affair yesterday when a Shangshu dismissed an official and a Shangshu was imprisoned, although the Wangri Dynasty did not do anything on this day, this time it announced the appointment of six ministries for the first time. Because Guo Zi was originally in the household department, there was naturally no objection to Guo Zi being in charge of the household department; And the two waiters of the Ministry of War did not succeed in becoming regular, but Zhao Xuan, who originally had the title of Shangshu, was successfully in charge, he was usually inconspicuous by Fang Bin, and this time he really became the person who spoke in the Ministry of War.

After a court meeting passed, hundreds of officials routinely crossed the Jinshui Bridge from the left and right doors to retreat, because it was a large number of people in the Wangri Dynasty, at this time acquaintances and acquaintances had to talk to each other, talking about yesterday's things. Lu Zhen and Wu Zhong, who have always been in power, are lonely and uncared for, and they look quite desolate. Zhang Yue met Wu Anhou and a few other nobles, and everyone came over to say hello, although most of them did not mention any words of consolation, but the hint of closeness was clear.

The emperor is just a momentary anger, at this time, Shao'an is not impatient, just wait patiently.

And the British Gong Zhang Fu, who only looked forward to Shuo, was naturally not as suspicious as others, and when Zheng Heng and the others were far away, he stepped forward to greet Zhang Yue. Seeing that others had avoided it, he instructed: "Yesterday's incident was just a disaster for the fish in the pond, it doesn't matter, you do your own thing first, and the emperor will naturally be lenient later." Yang Shiqi was also imprisoned before, and then he was still reinstated, although your father-in-law is not as qualified as him, but it is not a big crime, it definitely doesn't matter. ”

Everyone said so, Zhang Yue gradually thought about the benefits in his heart, and the panic when he first got the news yesterday naturally no longer existed, so he nodded immediately. After saying goodbye to Zhang Fu, he walked a few more steps, but found that Yang Shiqi and others were going to Wenyuan Pavilion from Zuoshun Gate not far from his left hand, so he suddenly thought that Huang Huai, who had served in the cabinet before, and Yang Pu, had been in Jinyi Guard Prison since the twelfth year of Yongle, and it had been eight years.

Due to a riot a year ago, the celebrant was almost completely purged, so although Lu Feng was only promoted to the chief celebrant and the young eunuch, he was already a well-known figure among the celebrants. He knew that he was not old enough to be qualified, and he was the apprentice of the imperial eunuch Zhang Qian, and the internal official eunuch Zheng He, who was second only to the celebrant eunuch, was the henchman of the emperor's henchmen, so although he was hot on the top of the position, he didn't dare to show too much enthusiasm, and only tried his best to show his face in front of the emperor, hoping that the emperor would be promoted again on a whim.

At this time, he was ordered to go to the Han Wang's Mansion to give Shouguang King Zhu Zhanqi the Mid-Autumn Festival things, and he had to be careful in the palace, so he carefully selected ten brocade guards to accompany him. You must know that Zhu Zhanqi's evil deeds in Nanjing at the beginning can be said to be famous, if this emperor and grandson are not good and come up again, even if he can get justice, he will be beaten in vain. So, after the routine was given, he was about to leave, but Zhu Zhanqi smiled and said that there was a good tea for him to use, and he suddenly hesitated.

"Why, you are used to using good things in the palace, and you don't look down on me as the Han King Mansion?"

Lu Feng didn't dare to accept this, and hurriedly laughed: "Your Highness said that you are laughing, how dare you be a little one?" ”

The Han Dynasty Mansion is more grand and magnificent than the Zhou King Mansion, and the main hall is even more spacious and luxurious, even if Lu Feng does not know what calligraphy and painting antiques, he can also see that the things arranged in this hall are extraordinary. Knowing that Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han, has always looked down on eunuchs, so he didn't expect to get any benefits from Zhu Zhanqi's hands. This time, he who had been immersed in the imperial prison for many years immediately recognized that this was the best rosewood, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Isn't the contents of this box even more remarkable?

Forced to press the greed in his heart, he wanted to retreat, but when he saw Zhu Zhanqi's eyes looking at him with a smile, he hesitated again and again, and finally opened it. Seeing that there was a pair of snow-white mutton fat jade balls inside, he gasped even more, and hurriedly excused himself: "No merit is not rewarded, and the small one will not dare to accept such a big gift." ”

"This is not for you, what are you anxious about!" Zhu Zhanqi smiled casually, and saw that Lu Feng's face showed a look of disappointment that could not be concealed, so he explained slowly, "When the imperial supervisor Zhang Gonggong went to Qingzhou in the past, he used to remind me very much, and at that time, I was young and ignorant to brush off his kindness, and now I have just come to my senses. Give him this little gadget to enjoy, and that's what you get paid for running errands. ”

Seeing Zhu Zhanqi wave his hand and let people hold two yellow and clear gold ingots on a boxwood strip plate, Lu Feng forced himself to squeeze out a smile. He thanked him with both hands, and he got up and was about to leave, but Zhu Zhanqi spoke again.

"I heard that this time the military department Shangshu Fang Bin dismissed the official? This person is the most arrogant and greedy, and every time he enters the palace and does not say anything to the lieutenant, everyone in the palace hates him very much, right? It is said that the wall is down and everyone pushes it, and he has affected so many people alone, I am afraid that he is panicking now. Reiji Palace...... If the minister falls into such a position, it is better to die freely! ”

Although this was just a joke from Zhu Zhanqi, the more Lu Feng thought about it after he went out, the more he felt that this was a way to make money. Thinking that when he was in the palace, Fang Bin had always been cold-faced, and he had vaguely heard others talk about the Fang family's goods. He hasn't handled any major cases since he was appointed to Dongchang, even if Yuan Fang is respectful, but it's not interesting after all, this time is not an opportunity to fall from the sky?
