Chapter 621: The Battle of the Masters
On the twenty-eighth of the twelfth month, through the court push, on the twenty-ninth, Tang Yi got the key list of the military department, and he was still resting time, the efficiency was really amazing, you must know that Tang Shunzhi didn't even care about a word.
"Okay, you're getting more and more hands-on now!"
"What a thing!" Tang Yi said humbly: "Thanks to Sun Yan, he is in the military department, and the immortals go down to ask about the land, and they don't dare to disturb your old man, so they can only ask him." ”
"Sun Yan? Well, yes, I'm pretty good at getting things done. Tang Shunzhi smiled: "I didn't expect that in just a few years, your people and horses will be everywhere?" ”
Tang Yi didn't refute, he was still a little excited in his heart, if in the next year, Jiajing forty-one years can win this section, from the two capitals and six departments, to the thirteen political envoys, inside and out, there will be Tang Yi's people.
Strictly calculated, the non-Xu branch is the first batch of lifters officially launched by the mind, and Tang Yi's Bingchen branch is different, the southeast scholars who participated in the non-Xu department, including Huguang, and even the lifters of Sichuan, they have all undergone systematic training in the mind, and there are a lot of financial support, at the same time, a large number of mental science predecessors Hongru lectures everywhere, preaches ideas, absorbs disciples, and various publications and books are issued, just like a big net, the net is full of talents in the world.
As long as this young blood enters the officialdom and gives them enough time to grow up, no one can shake Tang Yi's foundation.
The brighter the future, the more cautious we must be at the moment, because if we take half a wrong step, we will invite catastrophe. Tang Yi was extremely cautious, which was why he didn't make decisions easily.
Tang Shunzhi looked at the list carefully, the content on it was not complicated at all, he only glanced at it, and it was all engraved in his mind, the reason why he still looked at it repeatedly was that Tang Shunzhi couldn't take it accurately, what kind of medicine was bought in the gourd!
Tang Yi was very patient, and waited for a quarter of an hour, the tea was already cold, and even the water in the iron kettle had no temperature, so Tang Shunzhi sighed.
"It's mostly problematic."
"How?"
"You see, there are two accounts here for road repairs, one of which is in Liaodong and one is in Yungui, a total of 700,000 taels of silver, which is said to be for the transfer of troops, but the war between the two places is not serious, and the barbarians in Liaodong are not worth mentioning compared to me, as for Yungui to quell the rebellion, they use more native soldiers, they go through the mountains and mountains, such as walking on flat land, there is no need to build roads."
Of course, Tang Yi agreed with the teacher's opinion, "Teacher, what do you think they are going to do to build the road?" ”
"If my guess is correct, it should be the account of the Ministry of Industry."
"Ministry of Works? Yan Shifan? ”
"That's right!" Tang Shunzhi said: "In recent years, Yan Shifan has been greedy for big projects and small projects, and he has not let go of an opportunity to fill his pockets. For example, if he repaired the three major halls and allocated as much as 5 million taels to the Ministry of Works, Yan Shifan was greedy for at least 3 million taels. ”
"Won't it?" Tang Yi couldn't believe it: "Master, although the projects of the three major halls are a lot of oil and water, but the disciples have seen it, it is basically the real material, Yan Shifan can embezzle up to thirty percent, if he is greedy to sixty percent, he will not be able to repair it!" ”
"Hahaha, okay, if you want to say that your brain is not bad, but compared to the old people's small pavilion methods of collecting money, it is still a step worse, Yan Shifan can squeeze oil out of his bones, and the secret of his corruption is on this list, you take a good look."
Tang Yi obeyed the teacher's instructions, held the list in his hand, carefully read it from beginning to end, looked at it, thought about it!
"I see!"
Tang Yi suddenly realized: "He has done something in the bookkeeping!" ”
"Yes, in a word." Tang Shunzhi sighed: "The silver allocated by the cabinet to the Ministry of Industry is calculated for freight, and a large material is transported from Yungui to almost 10,000 taels of silver, including the cost of the people and the cost of road repair, but Yan Shifan, the account of the people is calculated to the local head, and the cost of road repair is either recorded in the account of the Ministry of War or recorded in the name of the Ministry of Households. In this way, it seems that the expenses of the Ministry of Industry have not increased, and the project has been completed smoothly, but in fact, the other ministries have carried the black pot for the Ministry of Industry, and the money has fallen into the hands of the Yan family father and son! ”
The more Tang Shunzhi spoke, the more angry he became, and slapped the table fiercely, "Okay, you have opened the sea in the southeast, and you have worked hard, millions of taels of tax silver every year, and the annual income of the household department has increased exponentially, but why is the imperial court still stretched thin and can't take out the silver?" The gates are all here! There are Yan Song and Yan Shifan's father and son, they are insatiable, and if there are a few more gold and silver mountains, they will all be moved to their homes, and the people will not get any benefits, and the country will be ruined, and the Yan family father and son should die! ”
Can you not be angry, the apprentice is like an old cow, working hard to cultivate the field, but the harvest was stolen by a bunch of rats, if Tang Shunzhi in the past would have been exposed to the ghost tricks in the book, and the Yan family would have fought to the death.
On the contrary, it was Tang Yi, who was a little heartless, he just stared at the list, frowned, and kept thinking.
Tang Shunzhi looked at his warm appearance, and he was so angry that he ate a teacup.
"Okay, what do you kid think?"
"Master, the disciple feels a little confused." Tang Yi pondered: "These two items were temporarily sent by the cabinet to the Ministry of War, if it is really as the teacher said, it should be a preparation for the rebuilding of Yuxi Palace." Yan Shifan still wants to repeat his old tricks and make a big profit. ”
Tang Shunzhi had a calm face and said, "Okay, what doubts do you have?" ”
"Master, you think Yan Shifan is not a fool, His Majesty is extremely disgusted with him, this time to repair Yuxi Palace, it is almost his last chance to atone for his sins, if I am Yan Shifan, I must build it well, I can't make a little basket, but he is good, he hasn't really started to work, he is ready to be greedy, I've seen someone who wants money and doesn't want to die, but I've never seen someone die like this! If Yan Shifan really had this kind of knowledge, I am afraid that it would have been finished long ago. ”
Tang Shunzhi also suddenly realized, it was indeed a little abnormal, "Okay, do you think Yan Shifan will think that he is finished, so he broke the jar and broke it, and wanted to take advantage of the last opportunity to make more money, even if he retreated, he could make waves." ”
"What the master said is indeed possible, but the disciple thinks that Yan Shifan is not that simple, I guess this is a pit! It's a flaw he deliberately sells! ”
Tang Yi said firmly.
The master and apprentice are not idiots, they quickly sorted out the things in front of them, Yuxi Palace went to the water, Yan Song showed his flaws, Xu Jie took the opportunity to attack, and won the support of Jiajing, and the momentum of the replacement of the old and the new in the imperial court was irrepressible.
More people thought that Yan Song was old and faint and couldn't control his mouth.
But what if the Yan family did it on purpose?
To repair Yuxi Palace, it is definitely necessary to use people from the Ministry of Industry, and the people from the Ministry of Industry, except for Shangshu Lei Li, are all Yan Shifan's people, and it becomes very easy for him to stir up the phoenix and rain in it.
Tang Yi suddenly had an idea, and the Yan family might feel that they couldn't defeat Xu Jie head-on, so they adopted the strategy of surviving in defeat. deliberately attracted Xu Jie to attack, and when Xu Jie took the task of rebuilding Yuxi Palace, the Yan family secretly hindered it, making Yuxi Palace not repaired well, or full of drawbacks, a basket of problems, Xu Jie in front of Jiajing, will definitely lose a lot of points, Jiajing will think of the Yan family again, and the affairs of the court are inseparable from the Yan family's father and son......
After analyzing Tang Yi and the teacher, he believes that this possibility should be about seventy percent.
It's just that Xu Jie is not a vegetarian, he didn't snatch the opportunity to repair Yuxi Palace, but took the initiative to recommend Yan Shifan and helped Yan Shifan achieve the goal of winning love.
What are the benefits of this? First of all, in Jiajing, the color of party strife will be diluted, showing that he Xu Jie is a person who values his father and has no selfish intentions. Secondly, because of his recommendation, even if Yan Shifan repaired the Yuxi Palace, the credit would be divided into half of the Xu Rank.
At the same time, if you don't do things, you won't make mistakes, Xu Jie can stand in a transcendent position, and pick the fault of Yan Shifan at any time, which can be said to be a lot of success in one fell swoop, and the advance and retreat are satisfactory.
……
What is a master contest, intrigue and trickery, has penetrated into Yan Xu's bone marrow, flying flowers and picking leaves, you can hurt people, both parties are full of golden abacus, how to do it can have the greatest benefits and the least risks, Tang Yi felt that he had been educated again, and his realm had been improved.
If the speculation is right, Yan Shifan plotted that Xu Jie's failure, but Xu Jie's initiative was preempted, Yan Shifan will probably not be willing to fail, he will definitely retaliate, and what is the means of revenge?
Tang Yi picked up the list again, and his mind suddenly cleared up.
"Master, if the disciple's expectation is good, this is still a flaw that Yan Shifan deliberately sells, he wants to lure us into investigating, I dare to say, if we continue to investigate, we may burn the fire to someone, and then we won't be able to eat and walk away!"
Tang Shunzhi tilted his head, revealing a solemn look, and slowly spit out two words for a while: "Lu Bing!" ”
That's right, Lu Bing's death, in the final analysis, was to touch the royal secret, and in the end, although it was found out that it was someone from the Jiuyang Society who did it, Concubine Lu Jing also died.
But there is still the biggest question that has not been solved, why did McFuy send Lu Bing a gold cup at that time? Did Jiajing notice it in advance......
Tang Yi couldn't call McFue to question, nor could he ask Jiajing for an explanation, so the case could only be closed.
In the same way, how many shortcomings the Ministry of Industry has over the years, and if it really wants to investigate, it is really hard to say where it will burn the fire, but there is one thing, Tang Yi is sure that Jiajing will definitely not be able to run!
If you investigate this case, you may become Lu Bing's second.
What a Yan Shifan, so vicious!
Tang Shunzhi sighed, "Okay, it seems that you can't check it, you can only admit it, Yan Shifan can't be rampant for long, God will accept them." ”
In the face of the complicated situation, it is as strong as Tang Shunzhidu chose to compromise, anyway, the black pot on his back is not once or twice, just get used to it.
It's just that Tang Yi is still unwilling, "Master, if it is a trap carefully designed by Yan Shifan, if we don't do it, won't he launch it?" ”
"This ...... There is also a saying about it. Tang Shunzhi smiled bitterly: "Anyway, I don't have an idea to be a teacher, I will listen to you when you kid says what to do." ”
Tang Yi paced back and forth on the ground, walked several laps, and his mind became more and more determined.
"The case must be investigated, but it can't be investigated by us, we have to let Xu Jie investigate."
Tang Shunzhi smiled contemptuously, "Okay, you said that Xu Jie would become the second Yan Song, and now I think he is even more terrifying than Yan Song." What we can analyze, Xu Jie may not be able to consider it, knowing that it is a pit, Xu Ge will not be stupid! ”
"Hehe, Master, you have to use your brains in everything, let's talk about it, I'm afraid it may not be successful, but there is someone who says it, Xu Jie will definitely be fooled."
"Who is it?" Tang Shunzhi asked curiously. (To be continued.) )
