Jinan Mansion, Governor Yamen.

When Guo Ye, Guo Songtao, Li Junfeng, and Ding Baozhen were discussing things, the official outside the door ran in and said urgently: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is Shi Qiang, the comprador of Yanzhou Coal Mine, who urgently asks to see him!" ”

Guo Ye raised his eyebrows, Yanzhou Coal Mine, Shi Qiang?

"Let him come in at once!"

It didn't take long, Shi Qiang ran in from the outside, the distance from Yanzhou to Jinan was only 700 miles, Shi Qiang ran back in only three days, the war horses were all run away, and the people were already out of shape!

"Lord Futai, something happened, something happened!"

Shi Qiang entered the room and sat on the ground, it was already difficult to speak, and he said in a hoarse voice.

Guo Songtao shouted: "Come on, quickly help Shi Qiang to the chair and bring him a bowl of water!" ”

Shi Qiang sat on a chair and drank a bowl of warm water before he came to his senses.

Guo Songtao asked, "Shi Qiang, what happened to Yanzhou Coal Mine?" ”

Shi Qiang replied: "Lord Futai, three days ago, Lu Mingsong, the prefect of Yanzhou, sent someone to the coal mine to see Zhang Chunping and me, and asked us to take out three thousand taels of silver for filial piety, but Chunping sternly refused, but in the afternoon of the same day, Lu Mingsong came to the Yanzhou Coal Mine with nearly 100 people, threatening to seal the Yanzhou Coal Mine, and ordered the officials to arrest Chunping.

Guo Songtao hurriedly asked, "What's the result?" ”

"As a result, Chunping was furious and ordered the escort team to fight back, knocking down all the officials, and even Lu Mingsong was put under house arrest......

Shi Qiang said with difficulty.

I'll go!

Guo Songtao almost fainted!

This Zhang Chunping is really exactly the same as the legend, stunned! Won't you put it off first? Just report the matter. Can a little Lu Mingsong still turn over the sky? It's good now. Blatantly resisting arrest is not to be said. Even the prefect has been detained, this is a big crime of rebellion!

And this Lu Mingsong, what is special, is a stupid pig, a dignified prefect, why don't he have any eyes at all, Min Ming knows that the Yanzhou coal mine was presided over by Guo Ye, and that is his forbidden body. You just braved the ban of the governor's yamen and directly asked for filial piety, isn't that asking for hardship? Even if Zhang Chunping gives you filial piety, I'm afraid that in a few days, you will even vomit out your own benefits!

Ding Baozhen on the side frowned and said: "Two Futai, this Lu Mingsong is too disagreeable, not long after our ban was promulgated, he dared to commit a crime against the wind, it is really hateful!" There is also Zhang Chunping. is also a reckless, directly imprisoning the imperial court officials. Is he going to rebel? ”

Guo Ye sneered and replied: "Brother Zhihuang, no matter what happened to Chunping, this matter is what I will explain, Yanzhou Coal Mine and Laiyang Iron Works will be the first cornerstone of our rich country and strong army, anyone who wants to destroy these two cornerstones will give me the fuck off!" Hehe, Lu Mingsong, Lao Tzu has wanted to investigate him for a long time, but there are too many things at hand, so he has been left until now, since he hit the muzzle of the gun, then it's no wonder to me! ”

Guo Ye's murderous aura loomed, and Ding Baozhen on the side was secretly shocked in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Guo Futai, is there something wrong with this?" Although Lu Mingsong asked for bribes first, Zhang Chunping's approach was also a bit excessive, if he was allowed to go on like this, wouldn't it be overturned? ”

Guo Ye replied: "Brother Zhihuang, it is this Zhang Chunping who has a two-pole character, I want to use it to take charge of Yanzhou Coal Mine and Laiyang Iron Works, you should know how the officials of the imperial court are now?" Ten officials and nine greedy, and one is on the road to corruption, if there is no one who has the courage to do things, has responsibility, and has courage, how can the officials below stretch out their hands indiscriminately, how can they be deterred? In all fairness, in such a situation, if you were another person, do you think this Lu Mingsong can still be brought to justice? ”

Forehead......

Ding Baozhen's face froze, Guo Ye was right, this idea, collusion between officials and businessmen, and the protection of officials and officials is the norm, if you are another person, the dignified prefect wants to pay some filial piety, so why don't the people below hurry up and send it over? As for poking it out, it's impossible, three thousand taels of silver can buy a peace, buy a talisman, why not? Only a tiger like Zhang Chunping can do such a thing, not only did he not give it, but even the prefect was detained!

Guo Songtao said in a deep voice: "Brother Zhihuang, what Brother Ziming (Guo Yezi) said makes sense, there are priorities, the two ports of Dengzhou, the factories and mines in Yanzhou and Laiyang, plus the banks in Jinan, these are the places that we must focus on protecting in Shandong, and no one will be allowed to destroy them, three years later, these will become the guarantee of a rich country and a strong army, a Lu Mingsong, this time it must be severely punished, kill a monkey and show it to the chicken!" ”

Kill a monkey to show a chicken?

Ding Baozhen understood what Guo Songtao meant, Lu Mingsong, that is the dignified prefect of Sipin, I heard that there is a rumor in Beijing, and I want to be further promoted to the capital to hold important positions, in Shandong Province, the prefect of Sipin is definitely a dignitary, in addition to Futai, Fantai, Zhentai in addition to Xuetai, Admiral, it is a high position of prefect! Which prefect's top to deter Xiaoxiao is definitely enough, and the following Tongzhi, general judgment, and county orders will become extremely honest!

Ding Baozhen nodded and asked, "Ziming, do you mean to kill you?" ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "Yes, Brother Zhihuang, this is just the beginning, and you will be busy next, whether it is Yanzhou Mansion, all the following prefectures and counties, we have to check them all, half a year, with half a year, I want to have a big purge in Shandong officialdom, but all those who stretch out their hands indiscriminately and do nonsense, no matter what backers he has on his head, they must be cleaned out, as for those who have good conduct and outstanding ability, give them super promotion, and do not build a team of honest and honest officials in Shandong Province, Then never think about rolling over! ”

Half a year, a big cleansing!

Rao is Ding Baozhen is accustomed to seeing the wind and waves, jealousy and hatred, looking at Guo Ye's radical methods, his heart is a little shocked, this knife down, at least a few heads, pick up a dozen black gauze hats......

Ding Baozhen smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Zimin, you should know that although you say the same thing about this territory in Shandong, the various relationships below are intertwined. No, the water is very deep, I have just arrived in office, I don't have a strong team, if you want to have a storm in Shandong, it's not easy to talk about, if you don't do it well, we may all be disgraced, and then we will be ......embarrassed."

Guo Ye laughed and said: "Brother Zhihuang, don't worry, since you are invited to supervise Qilu, if you don't prepare a competent helper, how can it be done?" Helper, I've got it ready for you, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow at the latest, you'll be able to see you! (To be continued.) )
