Zeng Quan and Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan were Jinshi in the same year!

Xiao Mo smacked his tongue secretly, no wonder Xu Zhiqian said that when he talked about Zeng Quan, he always looked like he had no way at all, and his feelings were hard in the background of Zeng Quan, and he was the same year as Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan.

Even Xiao Mo, a traverser, knows that in the ancient court, those officials who entered the court in the same scientific examination had a very good relationship between them, commonly known as 'the same year'.

With a friendship with Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan, and Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan are in charge of the court at the same time, it is not surprising that Xu Zhiqian was crushed to death by Zeng Quan!

Since the relationship between Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan was involved, Xiao Mo changed his mind.

Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan's personality Xiao Mo is clear, these two old men are stubborn, but both of them are honest and honest people, now that they are in power in the court, the government is rarely bright, so Xiao Mo deduced that this matter of Hangzhou, or Zeng Quan's matter, Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan should not know, or ...... They should have no connection with Zeng Quan, the only connection may be that the three of them are Jinshi in the same year, and they usually have some friendships, but Zeng Quan is powerful in Hangzhou and even Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

As a friend of Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan, Xiao Mo felt that he should take care of this matter for them, so Xiao Mo sneered and said to Xu Zhiqian: "Lord Xu, now we can talk about the shortcomings of Zeng Quan and Hangzhou!" ”

Hearing Xiao Mo's words, Xu Zhiqian's face was overjoyed, and then he said to Xiao Mo: "Lord Xiao, Lord Zeng is an official of the two dynasties, and as a provincial Taiwan, his ...... It is not easy to conclude the lower officials, but after the lower officials came to Hangzhou, all the decrees of the Hangzhou government and the officials of the government were under the control of Lord Zeng. In particular, the officials in Hangzhou, from the general judgment to the official servant, were all obedient to the orders of Lord Zeng, and this situation changed slightly until three years after the lower officials took office, and when they were transferred from various prefectures by the imperial court. ”

Suiguan is a general term that refers to the subordinate officials of each prefecture and county who administer with the governor, such as the secretary of the household and the head catcher......

Hearing this, Xiao Mo said: "I'm afraid that in the past three years, Lord Xu has achieved nothing in Hangzhou, right?" ”

Xu Zhiqian nodded, and then said, "Lord Xiao is right! In the past three years, whether the lower officials have made overt inspections or secret visits, they have gained nothing......"

"What do you want to look for...... What is it? Xiao Mo asked.

Xiu Zhiming took over the conversation and said, "Private salt! ”

Two words, Xiao Mo was shocked.

"Illicit salt?"

Finally to the point, Xiao Mo suddenly seemed to be a different person, he asked Xu Zhiqian: "Private salt is prohibited by the imperial court, but the salt gang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has been repeatedly banned, although Zeng Quan is one of the three major ministers of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province, but as far as I know, the major salt farms and official salt in Jiangsu and Zhejiang are in the hands of the transfer envoy!" ”

At this time, the carriage stopped, Xiao Mo frowned, thinking that he had arrived at the West Lake, but when he came out to take a look, he found that the carriage was actually listening to a secluded path.

Obviously, Xiu Zhiming and Xu Zhiqian have no plans to go to West Lake now! That's why the servants who drove the car and the accompanying guards would park the car on this secluded path.

Xiao Mo retracted his head back into the carriage, and Xu Zhiqian said in a low voice: "Lord Xiao, this transfer makes Lu Qiu and Master Zeng the same thing, both of them are Taiwanese ministers, and Zhang Xingtai is in charge of Zhejiang together, and Zhang Xingtai was squeezed to southern Zhejiang by the two of them......"

"I see!" Xiao Mo sighed in his heart when he heard this.

The An Dynasty has always adopted the method of three-person governance for local administration, so as to avoid the excessive power of the Taichen in the local area, and also to avoid the situation of arbitrariness.

For example, in Zhejiang Province, there are three taichen, and taichen refers to the highest local administrator. Zhejiang's three ministers are Daotai Zhang Xu, Futai Zengquan, and transport envoy Lu Qiu.

Among the three, it stands to reason that Zhang Xu is already the principal, but Zeng Quan's age and seniority are not hindered, and Zeng Quan is the same year as Ji Ping and Shi Zhongyuan, so Zeng Quan said to Zhang Xu: "Daotai, you go to southern Zhejiang, there is no Hangzhou developed well, and there is no prosperity in Hangzhou, and you need a young and energetic person like you to take charge." ”

Zhang Xu thought about it and agreed, because Zeng Quan was older, while Lu Qiu was a transfer envoy, a transfer transfer, left the Yangtze River and Hangzhou, and was a fart when he arrived in southern Zhejiang!

Xu Zhiqian continued to say to Xiao Mo: "This transfer made Lu Qiu a native of Zhejiang, but because he participated in the imperial examination that year, he set his hometown in Hongzhou, Jiangxi, his mother's maiden family, so he took advantage of the loopholes in the imperial court. After serving abroad for many years, he was actually transferred back to Zhejiang by the imperial court! ”

"It turned out to be the head snake ......" Xiao Mo sneered and asked, "So, these salt gangs and water gangsters in Zhejiang are all raised by Lu Qiu and Zeng Quan?" ”

In the An Dynasty, the former Mabang in Shandong and the Yangang Shuikou in Zhejiang can be said to be local stubborn diseases that cannot be cured.

Because whether it is the Horse Gang or the Salt Gang, their strength collusion is very complicated. Take the former horse gang in Shandong as an example, people like Cao Xiang and Ma Yidao made waves in Liangshan, and every time the imperial court sent troops to suppress the bandits, it was in vain.

Why is that?

Because people are bandits, outlaws, outlaws!

There are such people who can't be killed in this world, they gather together, and they would rather become a force, and when they disperse, they are ordinary people or ruffians, how can you catch them?

Unlike the Horse Gang, Zhejiang's Salt Gang is more organized, and they are more elusive.

The Salt Gang, often in the middle of the night, easily avoided the boats patrolling the river and navigated the river overgrown with weeds and reeds.

When they sell salt, they are merchants of the Taoist shore, and when they do not sell salt, they are the messengers of the soul on the water, and they often make waves on the water. They disguised themselves as Fuso people, sometimes they simply covered their faces with black cloths, and then robbed and killed the boats that came and went on the river.

It can be said that the Salt Gang is as ruthless as the Horse Gang, but the Horse Gang in Shandong is a group of men with flesh and blood, but the Salt Gang is a group of living scum, they are insidious, mysterious, and vicious.

They go out day and night, and they also sell illicit salt for profit.

The An Dynasty's control over official salt is very strict, but under such strict measures, it still makes the salt dealers of the Salt Gang pretend to be empty, if there are no ghosts in this, even Xiao Mo doesn't believe it!
