Chapter 248: Encountering Old Acquaintances in a Foreign Country
Qin Lin told Li Shizhen about the preparation of opening a female doctor hall in Nanjing and inviting Qing Dai to be the owner of the hall, and the old doctor was stunned at first, and then his gray eyebrows and beard were curled with joy, and he said to his granddaughter: "Okay, good!" The old man's granddaughter also has the compassion to help the world, as it should be! Qing Dai, you see the two young ladies Zhang and Xu, each good at winning in one article and one martial arts, that you can't learn, but fortunately I learned the art of Qihuang with my grandfather......"
Well, Qin Lin was choked for a moment, and then couldn't cry or laugh: It seems that the old doctor misunderstood the matter - but that's fine, the real purpose of opening the women's medical hall is top secret, top secret, hum hum.
Qin Lin took the silver and asked Lu Yuanzhi to accompany Qing Dai and the four daughters of A, B, C, and D to buy utensils, such as milk bowls, medicine mills, silver needles, fire pots, casseroles, fine sieves, red clay stoves, and other things are indispensable.
Li Shizhen stroked his beard and shook his head: "Although Lu Yuanzhi has learned a lot in the medical hall, after all, he is young and shallow, and since the old man is here, he must go in person to rest assured." Like the guys used in the hospital, the old man knows everything about it. ”
Lu Fatzi turned his face and stuck out his tongue, okay, Master Tai wants to go by himself, and we will become young and shallow.
Of course, Qin Lin agreed repeatedly, with the help of the Great Ming Medicine King to run the medical hall, so what else is there to worry about? It's time to get your hands on it!
Han Feilian had already gone to the Gengzi Institute to order it, and Qin Lin called You Kidnapper again: "You go to Renya City, buy ten rings for the official, you want to be heavenly, at least coarse and ink, don't want the wind like Yangzhou thin horses to blow down, just look passable, well, the more ink in your belly, the better, and you don't have to worry about the price." ”
Li Shizhen and Lu Fatzi knew that Qin Lin was recruiting for the medical hall, so they naturally didn't think it was strange, but You Kidnapper didn't know, he was confused, and secretly thought to himself that the chief's appetite was really weird: he wanted Tianzu and ink in his stomach. Tianzu is mostly rough and makes a ring, which tooth family is patient to teach her to read? Originally, the top-class Yangzhou thin horses were all rich in poetry and songs, but Chief Qin should not be coquettish and cowardly...... The commander's order, understood to be executed, not understood to be executed, the crutch received some tickets, limped away.
After arranging the preparations for the women's medical hall, Qin Lin rode on the snow and took Lu Yuanzhi, Niu Dali and five personal soldiers, together with Huo Chonglou and Quan Zhengyin, to Honglu Temple, Jinyi Wei Yamen and Tongzheng Department and other places to return to the report.
Huo Chonglou's jubilant appearance is needless to mention, "deep and barren, widely spread Tianwei", this credit is no different from killing the enemy on the battlefield, this trip to the sea to appease the errand is done, he will be promoted when he returns to the East Factory; In addition, according to Qin Lin's meaning, Wufeng Maritime Merchant gave him another 500 taels of silver, which is called promotion and fortune.
Follow Chief Qin to do things, get promoted and make a fortune, everyone's good is really good!
As for Quan Zhengyin, don't look at him as a top figure in Wufeng Maritime Business, you can go to Nanjing Honglu Temple and the Yamen of the General Administration Department, since his legs and stomach are weak, his eyes are fluttering, and his sincere and frightened look falls in the eyes of Qin Lin and Huo Chonglou.
North Korea is a Ming vassal, the people of the lower state to the Ministry of the Heavenly Empire Yamen, there is this performance also belongs to the should, think that when Yongle grandfather reigned, the three treasures eunuch from Nanyang brought a lot of kings, princes to Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty court twenty-four elephants did not lead themselves, 1,500 burly and majestic Han generals shouted together, there were several kings on the spot fell on the horse.
As the chief and deputy Xuanfu envoys and the representatives of Tusi to pay tribute, Qin Lin, Huo Chonglou, and Quan Zhengyin were grasshoppers tied to a vine, and they had written their respective gratitude seals and reinstatement submissions within a few days of returning to Nanjing by boat, and they scrutinized them word by word seamlessly.
The content is nothing more than the Yingzhou chief official Jin Shi thanked the emperor for his grace, and the world guarded the East China Sea for the Ming Dynasty, in order to bathe in the mighty grace of the Heavenly Dynasty at all times, the chief lawsuit was set up on Daqushan Island outside Hangzhou Bay, and he was willing to pay tribute every year and enter the court every year.
The two envoys were not afraid of the wind and waves, and resolutely were ordered to go to sea, spreading the power of heaven and sea for thousands of miles, and all of us were respected, and so on.
Of course, for example, the home port of the Wufeng Maritime Merchants was originally located in Hirado, the conflict with the Shimazu clan, and now Jin Sakurahime has led a large group of people to Yizhou Chicken Coop to prepare to use it as the home port in the future, and these things are not mentioned at all.
The seal also requested that Ningbo and Hangzhou be opened as treaty ports, and that the city of Ningbo should be re-established to allow free trade.
As for the matter of rehabilitating Wang Zhi and killing Wang Bengu, it is not easy to mention it in the official document, because Zhang Ju is acting according to the appeasement of "turning foreign barbarians" and setting up the Yingzhou Governor's lawsuit, giving Wufeng maritime merchants great reading power and independent surnames, and Wang Zhi is known to be a native of She County, the capital of Huizhou in the south of the Ming Dynasty, and he is not a barbarian.
Fortunately, Zhang Zixuan had already made a promise on behalf of Zhang Juzheng, and when the seal went up, the imperial court would have a corresponding edict, just waiting for the official documents to be exchanged.
Huo Chonglou sat on the cold bench in Beijing for 20 years, and when he came, he greeted Quan Zhengyin in advance, saying that the yamen of various ministries and halls are famous, the doors are difficult to enter, the face is ugly, the words are ugly, and the scribes ask for money.
Honglu Temple is a little better, this yamen is in charge of "court meetings, guests, auspicious ceremonies." All national ceremonies, suburban temples, sacrifices, court meetings, banquets, feasts, canonizations, calendars, springs, systems, performances, each offering their own affairs, foreign officials pilgrimage, Zhufan tribute" and so on, in fact, it is a clear water yamen with little power.
Quan Zhengyin came to pay tribute on behalf of Tusi, which is a very happy thing for the imperial court, and the Son of Heaven is virtuous, and Zai Fu is virtuous and virtuous.
So the faces of the big masters of Nanjing Honglu Temple can still be seen, seeing that the tribute paid by the chief of Yingzhou is worth a lot of money, each lord gave a gift, his face was silent, and his heart felt that this Tusi would be a man, although it was a six-grade Tusi chief, it was more sensible than those three-grade and four-grade Xuanfu Xuanfu envoys in Xiangxi and Tibet-Tusi tribute and vassal tribute were different, and the tribute of Tusi was received by the imperial court either to comfort it, or to give a symbolic surname reward; The tribute paid by the vassal states of Siam in Korea was several times that of tribute, reflecting greater reading autonomy and higher status than Tusi.
Therefore, there are often very funny situations: the tributes paid by the vassal states are becoming more and more valuable, the number of tributes is becoming more and more frequent, and the number of tribute envoys is increasing.
Jin Sakurahime is a toast, there is no such situation, the lords of Honglu Temple smiled and accepted the gift, and ordered the tribute to be transported to Jingshi.
When it came to the General Administration, it was completely different.
The affairs of the General Administration Department in charge of the internal and external chapters and the sealing of the subjects, the chapters of the prefectures and counties within the scope of the Southern Zhili, and the seals sent to the Beijing Division by the six departments of Nanjing, the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the hereditary dignitaries of each family, all have to pass through it, and the officials who come and go every day are endless, which can really be described as a city.
Here, from the doormen, scribes to subordinate officials, all eyes look at the sky, looking proud.
Qin Lin and the three of them sent money to Menzi as usual, and then they entered the courtyard of the General Administration Division, and saw a lot of officials sitting under the corridor, including four or five grades, and countless six or seven grades.
Before he could sit down, he heard a male duck calling: "When will you see you, sir?" The company also has a job, where is there so much water mill work with you? The so-called food king's Lu loyal to the king's ......"
The scribe teased in a slippery tone, and said: "Master, this is the Nanjing General Administration, if you want to play prestige, you can go back to Gyeonggi Province by yourself, and you can use people to beat the bamboo board, and we have a lot of officials who have come and go, and I have never seen you so angry...... As for the matter of the loyalty of the king, doesn't the lord ignore his position and not seek his government? When you are old enough to be a political envoy, it is not too late to teach the little ones a lesson. ”
"Zi said that only women and villains are difficult to raise, believe in Siyan, you are really villains!" The male duck muttered in his throat, and while he lowered his head and walked out angrily, he almost bumped into Qin Lin, Huo Chonglou stretched out his hand to stop it, and took this official around.
The official was so angry that he took off his black gauze hat and threw it on the ground: "This official is angry enough...... Ah, this is not Qin Lin Qin Chief?! ”
Qin Lin also recognized it, this was the old acquaintance Zhang Gongyu Master Zhang, he was now a shotgun, and Yun Yan, who was wearing a scarlet robe and a supplementary uniform, was a fourth-grade official.
Damn, I'm promoted faster than me! Qin Lin secretly sighed that sure enough, there are people in the court who are good officials, when he first met Master Zhang in Qizhou, he was still a Zhizhou from the fifth grade, and now he has been promoted to the fourth grade.
As everyone knows, Zhang Gongyu's promotion so quickly is thanks to Qin Lin, Qin Lin even solved a big case in Qizhou, and Zhang Gongyu also had a lot of light, and he was promoted to Wuchang Mansion, which is the fifth grade.
Before the buttocks were hot, Qin Lin handled the case of fraud and murder in Xingguo Prefecture, which was subordinate to Wuchang Mansion, Zhang Gongyu was the prefect who had just been made, and the guilt was also borne by his predecessor, he rushed to Xingguo Prefecture to deal with the aftermath of this case, and he was innocent and meritorious.
Qin Lin has already wiped out all the culprits behind the fraud in clearing the acres of land, and Zhang Gongyu is quite comfortable in handling the aftermath, although he is confused, the gentry and scribes in the whole state do not dare to deceive in the slightest in view of the lessons ahead, and he has done everything properly without spending anything.
Xingguo Prefecture is one of the pilot areas where Zhang Juzheng implemented a whip law, and the government and the opposition paid attention to the fraud case, and there were rumors and rumors, so Zhang Juzheng was naturally annoyed; But then Zhang Gongyu did the aftermath beautifully, because the amount of acres of land was fair, and the acres of land concealed by the gentry were cleared out, so the total number of silver in autumn and winter increased by three percent compared with previous years, and the people of the whole state also reduced their burdens, praising the kindness of the imperial court and the Ming Mirror of Zhangfu.
These things were reported to the imperial court, Zhang Juzheng was overjoyed, and he looked at Zhang Gongyu twice, because there were serial murder cases and other evil surname cases in Nanjing, so Zhang Gongyu, who was "good at handling cases and understanding things", was promoted to the rank of deputy envoy of the fourth grade, and was actually appointed in Gyeonggi Province and transferred to Nanjing.
"This official can be promoted, thanks to the support of Chief Qin!" Zhang Gongyu's face was almost rotten with a smile, and he kept bowing towards Qin Lin: "Chief Qin is really an officialdom and timely rain, and it is really a blessing for this official to meet in Nanjing!" ”
