As Zhang Zixuan expected, inside the governor's yamen two or three miles away, all the Zhejiang officials heard the noise coming from the direction of the Qin Mission, and they were so anxious that they scratched their ears and cheeks, like ants on a hot pot.

They all took the post to worship Qin Shaobao, the minister of the Qin Mission, and the result was that they were all closed without exception, Qin Qin Cha claimed that he was sick and did not see the guests, and only Yingzhou Xuan comforted Jin Yingji and Huang Zhixiao, the eunuch of the Admiral City, to be able to step into the door of the Qin Mission.

Hmph, I'm afraid we don't know about your relationship with Jin Xuanwei? The officials thought indignantly.

Only one of them, a civil official wearing a red official robe and a three-grade peacock supplement uniform on his chest, was quite leisurely and complacent with the tea and slowly sipped, put down the tea bowl, and had the leisure to sort out the white mustache stained by the tea, and seemed to be completely deaf to the shouts outside.

He is the governor of Zhejiang Province, Zhejiang and other places and the commander of military affairs, the right deputy capital Yushi Wu Shanyan, the forty-first year of Jiajing, and the three auxiliary Shen Shixing of the current dynasty, and Wang Zhiyuan, the governor of Huguang, the general of the Jiangling Party, are all in the same year.

The former Zhejiang Inspector Liu Tidao has been promoted, and the current Inspector Zhang Wenxi is in his thirties and forties, and he is in the prime of life, shrewd and capable, he saw that Wu Shanyan was unmoved, and he couldn't hold back the anxiety in his heart, and arched his hand and said: "Wu Zhongcheng, Wu seniors, now is the time to burn the eyebrows, the tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in the Luo Mu camp have made trouble in Qincha, you, you better have an idea!" ”

Zhang Wenxi is a member of the Longqing Ding Chou Branch, and his score is more than ten years later than Wu Shanyan, so he is called an old-timer.

The political envoy Sun Chaonan, the envoy Zhao Mengping, the commander Qian Feng, the prefect of Hangzhou Gong Mian, the prefect of Qiantang County Yao Daomei and other officials of Zhejiang Province all looked at Wu Shanyan anxiously and waited for him to speak.

In the Ming Dynasty's official system, a province originally set up three divisions, the government envoy was in charge of the administration, the procuratorate was in charge of the judiciary and supervision, and all commanded and managed the army, and coordinated with each other to restrain each other. From the beginning of the Xuande period, the imperial court gradually sent governors and governors to govern a place, and by the Wanli period, the governors and governors had already become the de facto supreme governors of the provinces, above the three divisions.

Zhang Wenxi, the patrol of the imperial history, plays the role of supervision, can supervise, contain the governor of the feudal officials, although the official position is only seven products and has great power, commonly known as the eight government patrol, but he himself can not directly give orders, the decree must be made by the governor Wu Shanyan.

Wu Shanyan smiled slightly when he heard this, shook his front placket for a long time, and then said slowly: "Zhang Xunpress, colleagues, it's not that I am indifferent to my brothers, but to share some burden with Qin Qincha, so that our Zhejiang Province officialdom can save some effort." ”

Zhang Wenxi frowned, quite disapproving: "Senior, where did you start talking about this?" Qin Shaobao is the minister of Qincha inspecting Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangzhou, and Maritime Trade, what is the relationship with the salary of Zhejiang soldiers? ”

Gong Mian, the prefect of Hangzhou, is an old slippery head in officialdom, and he gets along well with his previous bosses, but he understands a little bit of the meaning, and asks tentatively: "What does Wu Zhongcheng mean, the new money ......?"

"You still need to tie the bell to the bell," Wu Shanyan smiled and patted the table gently: "Mr. Zhang implements the new policy, Qin Shaobao is the prime minister's son-in-law, he always understands more than our Zhejiang Provincial officials, how this matter ends in the end, Qin Shaobao can't help but think of a way for us." ”

Oh~~ Gong Mian, Yao Daomei and the officials of the three divisions looked at each other, and they all understood what Wu Shanyan meant, and they immediately admired this Zhongcheng's ability to prevaricate and kick the ball and pull the bastard.

Speaking of which, the troubles made by the officers and soldiers of the Luo Mu Battalion really had something to do with Qin Lin.

Qin Lin pointed out to Zhang Juzheng the drawbacks of the New Deal, that is, silver was the carrier of the core content of the whip law, but China's local production was extremely limited, and it was actually very detrimental to the finances of the imperial court to import a large amount of silver from the hands of the big and small Franc machines and the people themselves by relying on sea trade.

Qin Lin's solution was to fully open the sea, arm the merchants, exchange the cheap and high-quality porcelain, silk, cloth, and tea of the Ming Dynasty, and use the guns and swords of the Ming Dynasty Naval Division to occupy, Zhang Juzheng agreed to gradually realize the former, but he still had concerns about the latter, so he used copper to cast a large number of Wanli Tongbao as a supplement to silver to make up for the lack of silver financial system.

But the newly cast Wanli Tongbao can only be used in half in the Jiangnan market, and the officials of Zhejiang Province issued it to the Zhejiang soldiers of the Luomu Battalion according to the original number, which is equivalent to a discount on the military salary for the Zhejiang soldiers, and finally caused the current state of affairs.

Wu Shanyan's officialdom has been up and down for decades, and Zhejiang Province has the ability to prevaricate and shirk, if he is second, no one dares to rank first, although he doesn't know that Qin Lin pointed out the disadvantages of silver and Zhang Juzheng minted new money, but he knows that Qin Lin is Zhang Xiangye's son-in-law, and the new money is made by the father-in-law, and the son-in-law is also duty-bound.

Regarding this idea, Zhang Wenxi only felt ridiculous, and persuaded bitterly: "The new money for the old money was made by Zhang Xiangye, and I heard that the new money is full of materials, and it is as common as the old money in the north, why can it only be halved in our Zhejiang?" We should also start the investigation from this aspect, instead of blindly shirking it and asking Qin Shaobao to carry the burden for us. What's more, Qin Shaobao is inspecting the affairs of opening the sea, and he has neither the right nor the money to manage the affairs of military salaries. ”

"Zhang Xun press, Zhang Xun press, you are younger after all," Wu Shanyan straightened his mustache and smiled: "Qin Qincha is in charge of opening the sea, Yingzhou Jin Xuanwei is very familiar with him, Jin Xuanwei is rich and rivals the country, and it is enough to fill the hole in the silver by sprinkling it casually between his fingers; Qin Shaobao will leave some oil and water for our Zhejiang Province from the open sea, and this hole will always have to be filled in the future. ”

Oh, it turns out that Wu Zhongcheng is very shrewd about this idea! Gong Mian, Sun Chaonan and others all smiled silently, if this matter is done, it will be beneficial to the officialdom of the entire Zhejiang Province.

Only Zhang Wenxi was quite disapproving: "Senior Wu, the lower officials advise you to think more, then Qin Lin is a character with horns on his head and thorns on the soles of his feet, how can he obediently accept our calculations?" ”

Wu Shanyan felt that Zhang Wenxi had repeatedly refuted him, his face showed impatience, and he picked up the tea bowl: "The old man has his own plan for this matter, and Zhang Xun doesn't need to say anything more." ”

This is to serve tea to send off guests, Zhang Wenxi said angrily: "Wu Zhongcheng, you are a vegetarian and stupid, if it causes a big disaster, the lower officials will impeach you!" ”

"Why bother, why bother?" Gong Mian and other officials were kind to persuade each other.

Zhang Wenxi glanced deeply at this group of stupid and incompetent bureaucrats, and finally shook his head, sighed, and waved his sleeves away.

Wu Shanyan looked at his back, snorted coldly in his nose, sat back in his chair, and talked and laughed with his colleagues.

In his opinion, although Qin Lin is capable, after all, he can't bear the surname Huo when he is young, and he is more stable than him.

It's a pity that he was wrong, the minister who has always been called ill in Xingyuan is not Qin Shaobao, who judges yin and yang, but Miss Zhang, who is full of wisdom and knows the true inheritance of her father.

"This Wu Zhongcheng is very patient, so far he has only posted to worship, and he hasn't come to the door yet! Hmph, Zhejiang officialdom only knows how to shirk responsibility, and they should really take the good students who have passed the test to test them! Zhang Zixuan pursed her lips and sneered.

Jin Yingji was also angry: "Although Wu Shanyan is not a big corrupt official, he is stupid and incompetent, ugly and stupid, he does this because he wants us to take responsibility for him, to be honest, I can also bear the salary of 45,000 Zhejiang soldiers, but as soon as this example is opened, do all provinces in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangzhou want me to help pay them, so as to save money to fill the private pockets of provincial officials?" Outrageous! ”

"This is a matter of court officialdom, but I don't bother Sister Jin!" Zhang Zixuan smiled and sent out a soft nail, and then summoned Lu Yuanzhi and gave a few low orders.

The fat man slipped out of the back door, the corners of the prime minister's daughter twitched, and her deep eyes revealed a little naughty.

Soon, the Zhejiang soldiers who petitioned outside the line heard a word of mouth, saying that Qin Qincha was a good official and had the intention to help the big guy get all the money, but Wu Shanyan was helpless to make an obstacle and deliberately embarrassed everyone.

Originally, it was not easy to win people's trust, but Qin Lin's case of handling the Sea Shark Club won the hearts of the people in Hangzhou, and Wu Shanyan acted in a daze, and the army and the people knew it, so the Zhejiang soldiers immediately believed the rumors.

Some people even witnessed it with their own eyes, just now a sedan chair went out from the back door of the Qin Mission, and when he walked to the governor's yamen and was blocked back, I am afraid that Qin Qin sent to say yes, but was rejected by Wu Zhongcheng.

"I knew that Qin Qincha was willing to ask for the people's life," Ma Wenying immediately changed his tone.

Liu Tingyong also greeted: "Let's go, don't trouble Qin Qincha, everyone, go to Wu Zhongcheng to beg for your life!" ”

All of a sudden, tens of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers and their families retreated like a tide from the surroundings of the Qincha Xingyuan and flocked to the governor's yamen.

Governor Yamen, Wu Shanyan and Wu Zhongcheng heard that the Zhejiang soldiers had returned, so he immediately blew his beard and glared at him: "These Qiu Ba, I really don't know what to do, the food and salary here are very limited, they don't force Qin Shaobao, but they bother the official!" ”

After that, Wu Shanyan took the lead and walked out angrily.

Officials of Zhejiang Province also followed, Gong Mian was worried, and wanted to persuade Wu Shanyan, but he called out but didn't have time to catch up.

At the gate guarded by the stone lions, the governor's own soldiers were lined up, Wu Shanyan walked out slowly with square steps, he held the jade belt with both hands, and looked at the many Zhejiang soldiers majestically: "Which of you is the leader?" I don't know if leaving the camp without permission and knocking on me, the governor's yamen, is tantamount to rebellion? ”

"The governor is on top, and the little ones are really wronged!" A veteran took off his shirt, revealing his body full of holes: "Look at it, this is the wound that fell for the imperial court to fight the Japanese and suppress the bandits, and now he is full of illness, but the salary has been halved, don't say that buying medicine, even eating is a problem, please be merciful, just send us the silver, don't send new money!" ”

"Just Qiu Ba, dare to come to me and talk nonsense in front of Lord Zhongcheng? If you don't have enough money, you can go home and farm! "Wu Shanyan is a civil official with his eyes above the top, and he doesn't take Zhejiang soldiers in his eyes at all, even if the other party is a meritorious man who has made meritorious contributions to kill the enemy.

He didn't know that the resentment of the Zhejiang soldiers had gathered at the peak of the explosion at this time, and his ruthless words struck the hearts of tens of thousands of Zhejiang soldiers, and the flames of anger burned in their eyes......
