Chapter Eighty-Six: Reviving the Firm

Hu Zongxian and Hai Rui are two completely different people. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hu Zongxian also likes money and beautiful women. But liking money and beautiful women is not contradictory to doing great things for the court and doing good things for the people.

It is recorded in the history books that Hu Zongxian was attached to Yan Song after being promoted to the prefect, and his official fortunes after that were smooth sailing, and he became the governor of Zhejiang. During his tenure as governor of Zhejiang, he resisted the Japanese invaders, protected the people, and did a lot of good things for the benefit of the country and the people.

If Hai Rui is a Qing official, then Hu Zongxian is a powerful minister!

Chen Di ordered: "Let Yuhang County order Hu Zongxian to answer in court." ”

Hu Zongxian came to Chen Di. If Hai Rui's figure is thin, then this Hu County Commander is burly!

Hu Zongxian arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Chen!" ”

Chen Di smiled: "Ruzhen, you're here!" ”

Hu Zongxian was a little flattered: "The adult actually knows the official word Ruzhen? ”

Chen Di laughed and said: "Zhou Yiqian has four virtues, Yuan Henry Zhen." The words of Hu County's order are good! ”

Hu Zongxian said: "My lord praised it falsely! ”

Chen Di said: "How long has it been since Hu Xianling arrived in Yuhang?" ”

Hu Zongxian replied: "It's been more than half a year. ”

Chen Di asked: "What is the experience of governing Yuhang?" ”

Hu Zongxian began to talk eloquently: "Yuhang is rich. The common people have no worries about food and clothing. But Yu Hang is difficult to manage. It's hard to manage, Yuhang is a place of books. ”

Chen Di said strangely: "Since it is a land of books, the people should be reasonable." Why is Hu County's order difficult to manage? ”

Hu Zongxian said: "In the land of books, there are many talents. Naturally, there are many people who are lifted. Yuhang County raises people every year, and the number of middle jinshi is the first among all counties in Zhejiang! There are more officials, and there are naturally more nepots and relatives of officials! Let's put it this way, Xia Guan once passed by a teahouse to drink tea. After inquiring, I found out that the shopkeeper sitting at the counter to collect money turned out to be the cousin of the deputy imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! Many things, once it comes to the nepotism of these officials, are not easy to handle. The lower officials can only cope with it up and down, and they can barely maintain it. Try not to offend the officials, and not let the ordinary people suffer. ”

Chen Di said: "It's really embarrassing for Hu County!" You know, struggling to maintain four words is easier said than done! ”

Hu Zongxian said: "If you really offend those big people in Beijing and the province, the black gauze hat of the lower official will come second." What if they threw a pair of small shoes for the people of Yuhang to wear? For example, there are many people in Yuhang County who make a living by drying salt, and the Yandao Yamen has asked to raise the salt tax by 10%, and those who make a living by drying salt will lose their jobs. Xiaguan This is just an analogy, not specifically referring to the Yandao Yamen. ”

Chen Di said: "Hu County Ling is really well versed in the way of being an official. ”

Hu Zongxian said: "The lower officials dare to say a word. The lower officials have an experience for the officials. That is, the upper echelons serve the lower officials well, the subordinates are well encircled, and the lower ones take good care of the people. If you can do the above three things, you can be a good official! is also worthy of the word good official! ”

Chen Di said with a smile: "I think Hu County's order is worthy of the word "good official!" ”

Hu Zongxian lowered his voice and said, "Xiaguan is a student of Governor Zhao Wenhua and Zhao. Governor Zhao is a student of Yan Shoufu, and you are Yan Shoufu's righteous son. If you want to talk about seniority, I want to call you uncle. ”

Hu Zongxian, a man in his thirties, seems a bit nondescript to recognize Chen Di, a fourteen-year-old boy, as his uncle. Chen Di thinks that this is Hu Zongxian, Hu Zongxian, who can be a man.

Chen Di recognized Yan Song as his father-in-law, and what he learned was Hu Zongxian!

Being able to be a person and being able to do things are not only not contradictory, but also complement each other!

Chen Di said: "This time, I plan to send you to the mansion below to supervise the implementation of changing rice to mulberry." Tell me what you should do if you encounter the nepotism of high-ranking officials who maliciously annex the people's land? ”

Hu Zongxian replied: "It's very simple, don't stop it on the surface, and report it to you, the political envoy, secretly!" ”

Chen Di laughed and said, "Hu Ruzhen, Hu Ruzhen! You're so slippery! You do it as a good person, but you want me to do it when you offend people, right? ”

Hu Zongxian said: "The official position of the subordinate official is low, if you encounter the nepotism of a high-ranking official and do that illegal thing, you will definitely not obey the management of the subordinate official!" Lord Chen, you are not only the political envoy of Zhejiang, but also Zhenhaibo, and the celebrity in front of the emperor, and the righteous son of Yan Shoufu. It's up to you to take charge, who dares to disagree? It is the responsibility of the subordinate to discover and report the wrongdoing. If you can do the above two things, you have done your duty! As the saying goes, in its position, in its politics. Xiaguan, this Zhengqipin, has the responsibilities of Xiaguan, and your lordship, Zhenhaibo, has your responsibilities。。。。。 ”

Chen Di laughed and said, "Then let's do our part!" Ru Zhen, you are the material to be a feudal official, after this matter is done for me, I will promote you to be the prefect! ”

Hu Zongxian arched his hand and said, "Thank you, Lord Chen!" The lower officials must do their best to fulfill their duties! ”

Hu Zongxian stepped back, and Chen Di continued to select materials. Chen Di interviewed more than 100 officials in one go, and a total of 18 people were selected.

Chen Di granted these eighteen political envoys the status of yamen counselors, and asked them to go below to supervise the implementation of the change to Sang.

It has been three days since the will to change rice to mulberry has been in Zhejiang, and the boss of Hangzhou tea merchant Ma Ruyun Ma has not broken his promise.

Ma Ruyun found Chen Di.

Chen Di smiled: "Old horse, you're here!" I thought you'd put me along! ”

Ma Ruyun took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to Chen Di: "How dare I, a grass people, deceive the political envoy!" This is the two million taels of silver tickets that we Zhejiang businessmen have just gathered! Before I had time to change it to the Chase Bank, I sent it to you! Adult, do you count? ”

Chen Di did not take the silver ticket.

Ma Ruyun was shocked: "My lord, what do you mean by this?" Shouldn't the imperial court change the hexagram again? ”

Chen Di shook his head: "How can the decree of the imperial court be changed overnight?" The change from rice to mulberry is already underway. ”

Ma Ruyun has seen a lot of officials, but he has never seen a cat that doesn't eat fish. He asked Chen Di: "Then why don't you accept the filial piety of our Zhejiang businessmen?" ”

Chen Di smiled: "Who said I don't want your filial piety!" I mean leave the money to you to take care of it for me! ”

Ma Ruyun said to Chen Di: "Please also speak clearly." ”

Chen Di said: "Zhejiang businessmen's ability to make money is the best in the world! Give you a penny, and you can earn three pennies! I'm going to open a trading house. Any business that makes money, such as tea, silk, porcelain, etc., wants to dabble in. These two million taels of silver are regarded as the capital of the trading house! The shopkeeper of this firm, please ask Boss Ma to do it for you! ”

Ma Ruyun said: "Lord Chen trusts the grass people so much? ”

Chen Di nodded and said, "Boss Ma is a businessman. I'm relieved that the money will be handed over to you! ”

Ma Ruyun said: "My lord, let the grass people think about it." ”

The little abacus in Ma Ruyun's heart crackled. Chen Di is now a hot figure in Jiangnan officialdom. Zhen Haibo's trading house, if he becomes the shopkeeper, then he will become Zhen Haibo's person. In the future, businessmen, whether they are in officialdom or shopping malls, will give him, a real Haibo, a few thin faces. At that time, your business will definitely be thriving!

Ma Ruyun arched his hand: "My lord, the grass people are willing to be the shopkeeper of your firm!" ”

Chen Di said: "Okay! By the way, this firm is named Fuxing Firm! Boss Ma, you will be the shopkeeper of Fuxing Commercial Bank from now on! ”
