Taizhou Prefecture Yahou Garden Hall.

Lu Jiude finally broke out, snapped, and slapped a few on the slap.

Then he picked up the teacup, only to find that there was not a drop of water in it

。

He threw the cup on the table in annoyance and shouted, "Sun Yuan is hateful, is this hiding from our house?" What did he want to do, he was deaf or blind, and there was a traitor in the court, didn't he hear a little wind? Fu Shan, what is Sun Taichu's attitude, just say it, what does it mean to be so procrastinating? ”

Fu Shan said lightly: "Who is loyal and who is traitorous in the DPRK is a matter of opinion. ”

"You...... I'm angry with our family, I'm angry with our family......" Lu Jiude was so angry that he couldn't stop coughing, his face was flushed, and his forehead was full of shiny beads of sweat.

Fu Shan laughed: "Father-in-law Lu is old, he doesn't enjoy happiness in Nanjing City, what are you doing in Taizhou on a hot day?" I heard that as soon as my father-in-law crossed the Yangtze River, he went to Huang Degong, and then went to Huama Liu, Gao Jie, and Liu Zeqing to run around. But he only refused to come to our Yangzhou Town, why, does my father-in-law look down on my general, or on the Ningxiang Army? ”

Lu Jiude: "This, this, this ......"

Fu Shan's tone was even more sarcastic, pretending to be suddenly enlightened, with a row of foreheads, oh sounded: "Fu Shan forgot, my general has a public heart for the court, but whenever there is something in the country, as long as the court gives an order, he will lead the troops to the battle without complaint." In the past, whether it was to crusade against thieves, or to enter King Jingqin when Jiannu entered the Kou, this was the case. ”

"The exploits made by my Ningxiang Army over the years, my father-in-law must also know, even if he pretends not to know, everyone in the world sees it in his eyes."

"At the beginning of the Chuzhou War, my general single-handedly turned the entire battle around. even captured Gao Yingxiang in Sizhou, such a meritorious service, not to mention the Hou system, a chief military officer should always have. But what about the imperial court, what about us, just a Bohai general was sent away, and it was idle for three years. If it were someone else, it would have been cold. But what about the general, when Jiannu went south, he still led his troops to the battlefield without regrets. ”

Later, he relieved the siege of Jinan in Shandong, defeated the right-wing army of Jiannu, beheaded the slave chieftain Yuetuo, and lived hundreds of thousands of people in Quancheng. Such a great achievement can no longer be erased, so the imperial court gave General Sun the position of chief military officer of Yangzhou Town. ”

"Father-in-law Lu, what is going on in the world today, you must know better than you were in your later life. If anyone else was the general of my family, I am afraid that it would have been reversed long ago. ”

The more Fu Shan spoke, the more excited he became, and he walked around the hall with his hands behind his back: "Now there are five towns and horses stationed north of the Yangtze River, Lu Gonggong, you can say with your conscience, among the soldiers and horses of these five towns, which chief military officer has made great contributions to the country, and which army is the best at fighting?" ”

Lu Jiude: "Naturally, Sun Taichu has made the greatest contributions, and the Ningxiang Army is the best at fighting."

。 ”

"The Ningxiang Army is the best at fighting, hehe, it should be the kindest." Fu Shan sneered again and again: "The other four towns, especially the soldiers and horses of Gao Jie and Er Liu, have attacked the prefecture and plundered the county since they entered Jianghuai, slaughtering the people and gentry, which is like rebellion. If it was a peaceful year, it would have been suppressed a long time ago. But such a beast army, but Gonggong Lu regarded it as a treasure, not only enthusiastic to envelop it, but also allowed the officials. Since our Ningxiang Army was stationed in Yangzhou, Yu Baiqiu did not commit any crimes, and the orders of the imperial court were also carried out to the letter. If it weren't for the sudden backlash in other towns, my father-in-law probably wouldn't have thought of coming to Taizhou, right? Yes, yes, maybe in my father-in-law's mind, when the time comes, I only need to give an order, and my Ningxiang Army will honor it, right? ”

"According to Fu Shan, my father-in-law just doesn't understand right and wrong, there is no distinction between black and white, and he deceives people too much!"

"You, you...... I'm mad at our family! After all, Lu Jiude was an old man, and he was ridiculed by Fu Shan's torn face, and his face turned red and white for a while. Stretched out a finger: "Fu Shan, you, you, you ......"

Fu Shan's words were so scolding that Lu Jiude thought that the Ningxiang army had thrown himself into King Lu.

In this way, the general trend is gone!

As soon as he rolled his eyes, he was about to faint.

Fu Shan hurriedly stepped forward and helped him up, pinching him for a long time before Lu Jiude sobered up.

Lu Jiude was so sad that he couldn't help crying: "Emperor Shenzong, Zheng Guifei Niangniang, Fu Wangye, slave and maid are sorry for you!" Now that the big thing is irreparable, the old slave can no longer think about it, only one death, only one death! ”

After that, if you stand up with your spirit, you will hit the wall headlong.

"Father-in-law, why bother?" Fu Shan stretched out his hand, grabbed him, and said with a smile: "My general wants a marquis." ”

"What?" Lu Jiude couldn't believe his ears.

"Marquis, hereditary replacement."

"Yes, yes, hereditary." Lu Jiude was so surprised that he was about to shed tears, so he couldn't help nodding.

Fu Shan groaned: "There are still ......"

"Master Qing, don't sell it, just say what you have to say

。 Seeing that he hesitated, Lu Jiude began to be anxious again.

Fu Shan: "My general had a new son last year. ”

Lu Jiude: "No problem, the post of commander of the Yin Jin Yiwei is the captain of the light car." ”

Fu Shan: "I am ...... Yangzhou Town"

Lu Jiude also simply: "Yangzhou Town follows the other four towns in Jiangbei, and has jurisdiction over Taizhou, Taixing, Jingjiang, Rugao, Tongzhou, Haimen, Chongming, one of the four counties in the two prefectures, and can appoint officials on their own." ”

Fu Shan: "What about taxes?" ”

Lu Jiude: "Yangzhou Town can set its own tax rates and taxes, and two taxes in summer and autumn every year are used as the salary of the Ningxiang army. ”

Fu Shan: "So...... What about the two Huai salts? ”

Lu Jiude was shocked, and hot sweat rolled down his forehead: "No, no, if there is no Lianghuai salt, this court, the court ......" Yes, if there is no official salt income, the court will not be able to support it at all.

Fu Shan smiled: "Grandpa Lu, just kidding, joking." ”

Lu Jiude let out a long breath.

Fu Shan: "Actually, no one can shake the official salt monopoly. However, do we set up another tax, such as stamp duty? This amount is collected exclusively from the salt merchants, who have a lot of money anyway, and it doesn't matter if they charge an extra 10% of the tax. ”

"What is stamp duty?" Lu Jiude was puzzled.

Fu Shan: "Every year, the government sells a certain amount of salt to salt merchants, and the salt tax paid by the salt merchants when they buy salt is already included. When the time comes, my Yangzhou town can paste another bill on the salt seal as a proof that they have paid taxes according to law, which is called stamp duty. ”

"Isn't this a tax on a tax, and the reason for imposing it is too far-fetched, right?" Lu Jiude was dumbfounded.

"No, no, no, what Grandpa Lu said is not right." Fu Shan said: "If you don't post that bill, how can you say that you have already paid taxes?" ”

"No, this example can't be opened, this wind can't be long. If this continues, how can I explain to the imperial court. Moreover, the official salt monopoly, your stamp duty is not also disguised as meddling in the salt administration. ”

Fu Shan: "Father-in-law, in fact, this stamp duty cannot be collected for a long time

。 The meaning of my general is that as an additional levy, just like the previous Liao salary and training salary, it will be used for the special funds for the future collection of Fushenjing in the north. Once Beijing is recovered, the tax will cease. ”

"Really?"

"Really."

"Okay, our family can temporarily promise Yangzhou Town."

Seeing that Lu Jiude was in line, Fu Shan was overjoyed in his heart, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "Thank you Duke De for that." ”

Lu Jiude was coerced by Fu Shan, full of greasy, and snorted: "However, the salt stamp duty in Yangzhou Town is only implemented in Yangzhou Prefecture, not in Lianghuai Salt Farm, is it okay." ”

Fu Shan nodded: "Of course, of course." "The two Huai salt farms stretch from the southern tip of the Shandong Peninsula to Zhejiang, and Huai'an and Hangzhou are not the territory of the Ningxiang Army, even if he wants to collect them, other places must agree.

Lu Jiude said: "This matter is very important and needs to be discussed by the court. The imperial court has its own system, and you also know that the policy has always been introduced, and it must first be submitted to the cabinet for drafting, and then handed over to the celebrant for approval, and it can only be implemented after the court meeting. Now that the new monarch has not been established, the court is in chaos. Not to mention that the celebrant has not yet been appointed, and even the cabinet has no one. In the future, no one can say who will be in charge of the cabinet in the future, and who will be the palm print and pen of the celebrant and the celebrant. Our family is now just a left-behind eunuch in Nanjing, and I can't do it accurately. ”

"No, no, no, Lu Gong doesn't need to worry." Fu Shan shook his head, gritted his teeth and said with a smile: "Once King Fu ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, and the father-in-law is the old man of the Fu Domain, who is the father-in-law of this celebrant who is in charge of the seal?" ”

"What about the Cabinet?"

"The first assistant of the cabinet is naturally Ma Yaocao."

Lu Jiude knew that his negotiations with Yangzhou Town had reached a critical moment, and he learned from Fu Shan's words just now that Fu Shan had promised to support King Daifu as the emperor on behalf of Sun Yuan, and now he began to discuss the selection of the relevant departments of the DPRK and China, "Ma Yaocao is afraid that he will not be able to be the first assistant." ”

Fu Shan: "Why do you say that?" ”

Lu Jiude groaned: "For the prime minister, when you communicate left and right, contact up and down, you should convince the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and China." Ma Yaocao has never entered the Hanlin Academy, and her qualifications are not enough. Moreover, he and Donglin have become inseparable. If he is allowed to be the first assistant, we will inevitably tear up our faces with Donglin, but it will be a great disadvantage to the country. Therefore, let Shi Xianzhi do this first assistant, and Ma Shiying will be the second assistant

。 ”

Fu Shan was a little worried: "My father-in-law is planning the country, but Shi Kefa is the leader of Donglin after all, and he is the first assistant, so it is inevitable that he will hinder us everywhere." ”

"No, no, no, Shi Xianzhi's character is very good, and he understands the general situation, and he will not only take care of the interests of a small group." Lu Jiude said: "In the past, the right to draft votes in the cabinet was held in the hands of the first assistant, and the other cabinet members only had auxiliary parts. When the time comes, it can be changed, let the second assistant draft the vote, and the first assistant only makes the final decision, which is also in line with the principle of the large and small system in the ancestral family law. ”

Fu Shan admired it in his heart, Lu Jiude deserved to have been mixed in the officialdom all his life, and he could even think of such a method: "Degong's method is good, in this way, I have nothing to worry about in Yangzhou Town." ”

Lu Jiude: "What are your plans to do in Yangzhou Town next?" ”

Fu Shan smiled: "What else can you plan, one word, fight!" Fight until other military towns in Jiangbei are convinced, and fight until hundreds of officials in the court and central government are willing to support King Daifu to ascend the throne. If there is no problem, as early as the day after tomorrow, my Ningxiang army will send troops to Yangzhou. ”

Lu Jiude's eyes turned red again with joy: "That's good, that's good." ”

Fu Shan: "One more thing. ”

Seeing Fu Shan's full smile, Lu Jiude's heart was shocked, knowing that he would put forward harsh conditions again, but he couldn't do it if he didn't agree to him.

I had to bite the bullet and say, "Lord Qing, please speak." ”

Fu Shan: "Stay in the capital and create grass, and Nanjing, a department in Shenjing, should also have it." The six ministries, the cabinet, and the celebrant supervisor, by the way, the Jinyi pro-army yamen should also be set up, right? ”

Lu Jiude: "It should be, it should be, how can the Son of Heaven not have a pro-army." ”

Fu Shan: "That's good, my general is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, and Zhu Xuanshui, the former deputy of Nanjing Thousand Households, is loyal and honest, and is a suitable candidate." When the time comes, my Yangzhou Town will send out a thousand elites to help Your Majesty rebuild the Jinyi army. As for the East Factory...... Well, forget it. ”

"This, I'm afraid it's not good!" Lu Jiude shook his head.

Fu Shan: "Hehe, then I didn't say it." Fu Shan is just a staff member under the general, and what I just said to my father-in-law only represents myself, not the general. Otherwise, the father-in-law will go and talk to Chief Officer Sun. ”

Lu Jiude was shocked: "It would be good if our family could see Chief Officer Sun, so that our family would agree to you first."

。 ”

"Don't just represent yourself!" Fu Shan smiled faintly: "The Ningxiang Iron Army will sweep through Jiangbei the next day, and the general of my family said that my father-in-law must be the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, so the words of Duke De just now are the final decision of the master of ceremonies." ”

This Fu Shan is simply blackmail, not only to be a marquis, but also to get the right to appoint and dismiss all the officials in the territory under his jurisdiction, intercept taxes, and send new levies, and now even the pro-army of the Son of Heaven is in his hands.

In this way, not only did Yangzhou Town divide one side, but even stretched out its hand to the court.

Lu Jiude's first reaction was to shake his head and refuse, but after thinking about it, if he replaced Gao Jie and Liu Zeqing, he was afraid that it would be worse.

The problem is that now Sun Yuan is his last straw.

For the sake of King Fu, no matter how harsh the conditions are, I can't say that I can only nod.

Lu Jiude nodded dejectedly: "There is no problem in our family in this matter, but we still have to discuss it with Ma Yaocao, and then tell King Fu Chitose." ”

"It's good for Grandpa Lu to agree." Fu Shan slapped his face: "Come on, show your father-in-law tea." ”

A subordinate came in with a cup of tea, and Lu Jiude, who was already thirsty, snatched it up and drank it.

"Ma Shilang should be able to agree. As for King Fu. Fu Shan said: "Wait for King Fu Chitose to enter Taizhou, and my father-in-law will go to tell him." ”

"Flutter!" Lu Jiude squirted out a sip of tea: "Chitose, Chitose, he ......"

Fu Shan: "I just got a letter from Ma Shilang, King Fu's car has arrived ten miles north of the city, and my general has already brought people to greet him, so I guess I should have arrived." ”

At this time, there was a commotion outside, and then the sound of crackling firecrackers, which was very noisy.

Suddenly, a scrivener crawled in and shouted: "Mr. Qingzhu, Mr. Qingzhu, the general has escorted the Son of Heaven into the city, and ordered you to go over and take over." ”

"Ah, the Son of Heaven!" Fu Shan and Lu Jiude were dumbfounded, Sun Yuan's political speed is too fast, right?
