Chapter 155 Sinong Shaoqing
Bianjing, Lu Mansion!
Because Lu Huiqing is in an important position and has a bright future, Lu Mansion has an endless stream of people who come to visit, and it can be said that there are many guests. Of course, there is a way that things gather by like, people by groups, and most of the visitors are people who tend to be inflammatory. Therefore, although it is lively, it is far from being full of friends and less long and salty.
In peacetime, Lu Huiqing was very busy, so most of the guests were received by his two younger brothers, Lu Shengqing and Lu Heqing. Every time the flattery continues, the two of them are also complacent, and every time they are busy, they are happy and content.
But today is an exception, the two Lu brothers actually closed their doors, which is very abnormal. The reason was that they had received a letter, a letter from Qiantang County, Hangzhou.
"Third brother, there seems to be some trouble in Hangzhou!"
"How?"
Lu Shengqing said: "Lu Ji and Lin Zhao had a conflict? ”
"How so? Why do you have to clash with Lin Zhao? Is there any room for redemption now? "Lin Zhao showed his might in Hangzhou, quelled the rebellion, and killed the two dragon sons and grandsons of the royal family, and became famous. Under normal circumstances, who would want to provoke Lin Zhao if it wasn't necessary? Therefore, Lu Heqing's first reaction was a little shocked.
"No, it's already to the point of not dying!" Lu Shengqing shook his head firmly, this guy didn't care. immediately told the relevant situation, and Lu Heqing was suddenly shocked.
"Second brother, Lu Ji and they are becoming more and more bold, and it is just a matter of hoarding Juqi to raise the price, why do they have to scuttle the Meng family's cargo ship? That's dozens of lives, tens of thousands of dollars, can Lin Zhao give up easily? Lu Heqing was a little annoyed, feeling that the two nominal clansmen, but the actual domestic servants, were quite bold and reckless, and they actually made their own decisions about such a big thing, cutting it first and then playing it.
Lu Shengqing understood what his brother meant, shook his head and said, "Forget it, don't blame them, it rained heavily in Jiangnan some time ago, and the road was inconvenient." What's more, things in the mall are the same as the battlefield, the opportunity is fleeting, and Lu Ji is helpless! ”
"Second brother, you are a little too indulgent to them, they are becoming more and more disagreeable!"
Among the three brothers, Lu Huiqing is undoubtedly the most outstanding, and Lu Shengqing is a straw bag who does not learn and has no skills, but the third Lu Heqing is relatively wise and more rational.
Lu Shengqing doesn't know how to learn, he is an extremely greedy person, and Qinghe Grain's move in Hangzhou can be said to be his single-handedly promoted. The previous business was good, and it was a lot of contribution to the Lu family, and Lu Heqing had to try his best to help. But this time it was clearly a bit overdone.
"The matter has come to this, it is useless to talk more, how to keep the industry!" Lu Shengqing was unhappy, but he knew that what the third brother said was true, but it was not easy to refute, so he had to emphasize the reality instead.
"What did Lu Ji say in the letter?" Lu Heqing also knows very well that the matter has developed to this point that it is irretrievable, and he can only find ways to make up for it as much as possible, reduce losses, and maintain interests.
Lu Ji said that he is now buying a large amount of grain and playing with Lin Zhao...... However, he said that Lin Zhao seemed to have used the grain reserves that were often closed...... And it's an unofficial sale! ”
"Closing positions?" Lu Heqing was also surprised, if this is the case, the height of the problem will rise, and it will not be a simple shopping mall game.
Lu Shengqing said: "That's right, Lu Ji means to let the eldest brother check whether Lin Zhao went to the official's house and asked to use Changping to store grain." If not, this is a great opportunity, and the big brother may be interested! ”
Lu Heqing is smart and rational, but his mental skills are not necessarily very good, and when his brother mentioned this, he immediately smelled a trace of unusual smell from it. And for a short time, he thought about the related things and the possible impacts, and then smiled coldly at the corner of his mouth.
Lu Huiqing was busy until late before coming back, and was surprised to find that the two brothers were unusual, and they didn't go out to spend all day's drinking, which surprised him. Seeing the appearance of the two brothers who wanted to speak and stopped, Lu Huiqing guessed that something might have happened.
"Tell me, what's going on?" Lu Huiqing is in her thirties, perhaps because she is busy with government affairs, and she looks a little old. The body seemed to be a little tired, but it was full of energy, and there was a kind of satisfaction and even enjoyment in his eyes. Power is a good thing for him, much better than tonic medicine.
"Big brother, something happened in Hangzhou, our grain store ......"
When Lu Huiqing heard this, he immediately frowned, he knew about the two brothers' business. For a scholar who is keen on power and gallops through the officialdom, doing business is just a worthless trail, and it is not eye-catching at all. However, he knew that he really needed an industry to support his clan and ensure the expenses of other aspects, so he always turned a blind eye, but there was still a kind of disgust in his bones.
When Lu Shengqing saw the eldest brother's expression, he suddenly hesitated, not knowing how to continue...... Anyway, the third Lu Heqing was relatively calm, and explained: "Eldest brother, this matter is not only about business, but also about political affairs, and now it is also related to the safety of the Lu family and the ......future of the eldest brother."
Lu Huiqing doesn't care about anything else, but she attaches great importance to the future and the power in her hands. He always knew that the third brother was a calm person, so he would not talk nonsense, his eyes suddenly became much more solemn, and he asked, "What kind of trouble has happened again?" ”
"Blessings and misfortunes depend on it, but do you know if it is a blessing?" Lu Heqing smiled lightly and told the ins and outs of the matter.
Lu Huiqing's expression became more and more solemn, he didn't expect his brother's business methods to be so reckless, to the point of harming people's lives. If this happens, it will undoubtedly affect his reputation and future, although he is angry in his heart, but things have already changed and cannot be changed. It is no longer meaningful to blame the brother for being greedy for money, so he has to acquiesce to this fact, and he must try his best to cover it up and protect his own interests.
"So, you've completely offended Lin Zhao?" Lu Huiqing asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, but he probably doesn't know it's us!" Lu Shengqing had a hint of luck.
Lu Huiqing smiled coldly: "Sooner or later, I'll know, but what if I know?" ”
In his bones, he didn't take Lin Zhao in his eyes, but he couldn't help but feel a little sour in his heart. Speaking of which, this matter has a lot to do with Wang Anshi and Wang Yan.
Lu Huiqing is the No. 2 person in the law change, but in fact, his influence, or attention, is relatively poor. Among the figures of the New Party, in addition to Wang Anshi, the most concerned is undoubtedly Lin Zhao. Solving strange cases, sending Liao to the point of killing the prime minister in anger, and punching the prince, Lin Zhao has earned enough eyeballs.
I thought that when I arrived in Hangzhou, far away from the center, the attention would decline, but I didn't expect that because of Zhao Shiju's rebellion, Zhao Zongyong's case of selling illicit salt once again pushed it to the forefront. When the news reached Bianjing, everyone was talking about the debate between him and Sima Guang, but everyone's eyes instantly turned to the southeast.
was robbed of the limelight by Lin Zhao, can Lu Huiqing feel comfortable? An unprovoked jealousy began to grow. The father and son of Wang Anshi did not know much about human resource management, and praised Lin Zhao well, but ignored the encouragement of Lu Huiqing. Wang Yan inadvertently revealed that if Lin Zhao's trial of the Qingmiao method in Hangzhou was successful, he was ready to transfer it back to Bianjing for reuse.
Lu Huiqing had contact with Lin Zhao a few times, and his understanding was relatively not very sufficient, but judging from Lin Zhao's past experience, if this guy returned to Bianjing, he would pose a threat to his position within the Law Reform Sect. Lin Zhao didn't know that he had inadvertently been jealous of Lu Huiqing and was on guard.
Although he thought so in his heart, he had no contact with each other at this stage, and even if Lu Huiqing had any ideas, he had no chance to put them into practice. But I didn't expect that because of the brothers' nonsense, they would actually get involved with Lin Zhao.
sank a ship and killed more than 20 shipwrights, although Lu Ji's behavior made him dissatisfied, but he didn't care, and now it is a good reason.
"Eldest brother, Lin Zhao used the grain that is often closed, so I am afraid that the implementation of the Qingmiao Law will be delayed......" Lu Heqing is a smart person, and he quickly guessed the eldest brother's thoughts.
Lu Huiqing smiled coldly: "Yes! ”
This situation is what he expects, if the implementation of the Qiantang County Seedling Law fails, then ...... Lin Zhao's transfer back to Bianjing will be stopped, and Wang Anshi will not pay as much attention to it as before, and he will not threaten himself. What's more, it is now an endless situation, if Lin Zhao is allowed to make trouble, the Lu family will pay a very heavy price for this. If you can take the opportunity to pull Lin Zhao off the horse completely, the threat will never exist, and at the same time, you can vent the hatred in your heart!
"Can you be sure that Lin Zhao is using the grain that is often closed?" Lu Huiqing asked in a deep voice, this is the key to the matter. As long as it is determined, there is an article to do. At the same time, the nature of things will also change significantly, and it will rise to the level of major policies and laws.
Lu Heqing said: "Lu Ji is so suspicious, and he can't be sure for the time being, so he wrote to ask the eldest brother to inquire in the center to see if Lin Zhao has any relevant performances?" ”
"It's not difficult!"
"As for whether Lin Zhao moved or not, he often closed the position," Lu Heqing said: "As long as the eldest brother wants to know, it's easy to understand, don't forget, that is exactly the scope ......of the eldest brother's authority." ”
The corners of Lu Huiqing's mouth showed a sly and smug smile, that's right, in addition to the detailed text of the regulations of the three divisions, he is also the son of the Shaoqing.
Sinong Temple is mainly in control of agricultural affairs and related affairs, and Chang Ping is just within the jurisdiction of the resurgence, but before that, its status and influence have not been high. However, after the start of the Xining reform, especially the implementation of the Qingmiao Law, Chang Ping became the core, and some other things, the role of Sinong Temple became more and more important.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the reform, Wang Anshi pushed Lu Huiqing to the position of Sinong Shaoqing, and controlled this important yamen in his own hands.
In peacetime, Lu Huiqing didn't think this position was very important, he cared more about the detailed civilian work. Although the position is not high, what is written in the pen will be the law, the major policy of the Great Song Dynasty, and it will have a sense of achievement.
But today, Lu Huiqing suddenly discovered that the official position of Si Nong Shaoqing is so important!
