To Zhang Pengxi, Ka Mintu and the two, Yinzhen finally deceived them into the boat, naturally he had to be polite, especially Zhang Pengxi, who has been promoted to a university scholar, and in the future he will be a big banner in the court for fourteen, as soon as they met, Yinzhen said with a smile on his face: "Congratulations to the two adults." ”

The imperial court's palace newspaper was delayed because of the New Year, and the news of the promotion of the two had not yet reached Shanghai, so when they heard this, Zhang Pengxi and Ka Mintu were both quite surprised, and they were even more puzzled, there was such a big case in Shanghai, how could this fourteenth master smile so brightly like no one? Where does this congratulations come from?

After the two of them invited An to see each other, Zhang Pengxi smiled and said, "Dare to ask the fourteenth master, where does this joy come from?" ”

Yinzhen said with a smile: "Lord Zhang's Chapter 100 public trial has been awarded the Wenhuadian University Scholar, and Lord Ka is the left servant of the Relocation Department, isn't this a joy?" In the future, I'll have to change my name to Zhang Xiang. ”

Wenhuadian scholar, even if Zhang Pengxi has always been calm, he was not only excited when he heard this, this is a positive product, he is already a very good minister, although Ka Mintu has not been promoted to the grade, but the real power of moving to Zuo Shilang has increased, and he and Zhang Pengxi are also teachers and friends, Zhang Pengxi teaches a bachelor, which is also a lot of benefits for him.

Zhang Pengxi's mind was sensitive, and he had already guessed that this promotion was due to extravagance, and hurriedly asked, "I don't know what the reward of the Fourteenth Master is?" ”

Yinzhen smiled: "The prince of Jinjun." ”

"Congratulations to the Fourteenth Master." As soon as Yinzhen returned to Beijing, Kangxi immediately stated his position, and he expressed his position in the way of rewarding the three, feeling that Kangxi was deliberately tied to the two of them with the fourteenth master, and at the same time, he was also very curious, how did Yinzhen say that he moved Kangxi? This fourteenth master is becoming more and more incomprehensible.

Entering the living room, as soon as he sat down, Zhang Pengxi asked Yinzhen about the handling of the case in Shanghai, Yinzhen Chapter 100 Public Trial Zhen said the handling in detail, and the two heard that they had been approved by Kangxi, so naturally they didn't say much, Zhang Pengxi then changed the topic and asked: "Fourteenth Master, since the emperor supports the correct guidance of luxury, I don't know how the Fourteenth Master will guide next?" ”

Yinzhen smiled and said that he let the starling Yinzhen take the capital as a pilot, Zhang Pengxi and Ka Mintu couldn't help but sigh after hearing it, I didn't expect that what was hidden behind Yinzhen was such a big deal, reforming industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes, and using taxes to regulate and guide the extravagant atmosphere, which is really incredible, and I don't know how this fourteenth master came up with it?

Zhang Pengxi is even more impressed by Yinzhen, this master's idea is unique, novel, but practical, not to mention the mind, one ring after another, even in the end, if you don't reveal the mystery, you can't guess what the purpose is, this one got on his thief ship, but he couldn't get down, and he didn't want to get down, how could a university scholar be so easy to get?

Yinzhen smiled again: "Lord Zhang, you are the head of the household department, and you have rich experience in this area, not only to help make suggestions, but also to grasp the proportions of this, we can't do bad things with good intentions." ”

"Hehe, that's nature." Zhang Pengxi chuckled; "Where is the duty of the lower officials, how dare you ignore it?"

Yinzhen turned to look at Ka Mintu, "Lord Ka, how is the progress of the Qinhuai River pilot?" Is it still going well? ”

"Go back to the Fourteenth Master." Kamintu said respectfully: "All the green buildings on both sides of the Qinhuai River have completed the statistical compilation, and the tax collection will be doubled in February. ”

"Well, taxes should be levied according to their size and income, so you have to keep all the information on file and keep an eye out for changes." Yinzhen said gently, "In addition, send a copy of all the information to Lord Zhang, the pilot of Qinhuai River and the pilot of the capital will become a powerful basis for the innovation of industrial and commercial miscellaneous taxes, and must not be neglected. ”

Xu Shizhen's Shanghai County Government has not been doing well for many years because of this major case, although it has not yet officially opened the government office, but all the officials must go to the Yamen every day to order, on duty, patrol, and dare not slack off.

In the early morning of the 13th day of the first lunar month, the Shanghai county government issued notices on the sound of gongs everywhere, and it was scheduled that at noon on the 13th of the first lunar month, a public trial would be held at the Guandi Temple to try the case of the military and civilian arms fighting in front of the gate of the 'Deming Xuan' on the 29th of the lunar month.

As soon as the notice was posted, it caused a sensation, and it has always been impossible for such a big case to have a result in less than half a year, and in this case, a yellow-belted brother was killed, five people were killed, and more than 70 people were injured, and it was a weapon fight between the army and the people, whether it was the people, the traders, or the gentry, and the family were extremely concerned about this case, as soon as the news came out, the residents of Shanghai County flocked to the Guandi Temple, and they had to go to seize the position as soon as possible, and they were afraid that they would not even have a place to stand if they were late.

There is a very spacious open space in front of the Guandi Temple, it has always been a place for storytelling and singing, practicing stalls and selling, and now it has already been cleared out by the officials, the time has passed, the open space is already overcrowded, and the surrounding teahouses and restaurants have long been full, and low discussions can be heard everywhere:

"Why did the trial suddenly start? I didn't hear the wind beforehand. ”

"You don't know, I heard that the Fourteenth Prince returned to Shanghai yesterday."

"What does the return of the Fourteenth Prince have to do with the trial?"

"Those soldiers who are fighting, but they are all in the hands of the Fourteenth Prince, how can it be okay?"

"Ouch, I don't know how many people I'm going to kill today? This is a dead yellow belt brother. ”

"If you don't destroy the clan, you will burn high incense, and you will definitely kill a lot of people."

Just when everyone was talking, a short whistle and neat footsteps came, and following the prestige, they saw a group of neatly dressed, they had never seen a group of navy trotting in a neat queue of dark blue military uniforms they had never seen before, and surprisingly, the movements were so neat, whether it was the swing of the arms or the rise and fall of the footsteps, the queue of hundreds of people turned out to be like one.

The scene fell silent, and all the people opened their mouths wide, their eyes widened, and they stared intently at the queue that was getting closer and closer, what kind of navy was this that the Fourteenth Prince was training? These are the soldiers who fought with the Gu family?

Team after team of students drove into the two open spaces that had been planned, only short slogans and neat footsteps could be heard, and the whole two thousand students stood there, not only were they silent, they didn't even shake for a moment, and an invisible depression immediately spread in all directions.

After a while, someone muttered softly, "Why don't they have braids?" ”

"Hold it overhead, be silent."

"How much does this gown cost? It's weird, but it's pleasing to the eye. ”

"Eye, Deshenglong's shopkeeper said, the buttons are all pure copper, a set of five taels of silver."

"The Gu family is fighting with them? Isn't that looking for death? ”

"This time, the Gu family is very lucky, and there are so many soldiers." !!
