Hand over Zhang Yuanlong to you? Yinzhen's face sank immediately, Zhang Yuanlong is not only Zhang Mengjiao's father, he also manages the cotton cloth export share of Jianghaiguan, and is also related to the construction speed of the ocean-going trade fleet, and it is directly related to Yinzhen's reputation in Shanghai, so far, Zhang Yuanlong is the only maritime merchant who has taken refuge in his whole body, he is going to fall into such a fate, this rumor is not yet flying in the sky, I don't know how many people are waiting to see him laugh and wait to fall into the well, how can he let go of this opportunity? Who will dare to take refuge in him Yinzhen in the future? Who would dare to believe him Yinzhen? Are you kidding?

Thinking that this Zhang Boxing was also a rare Qing official, Yinzhen didn't want to have trouble with him, so he said lightly: "Lord Zhang must know that I am sitting in Shanghai to build an ocean-going fleet, but why I want to build an ocean-going fleet, Lord Zhang may not be clear." {xiaoshuoyd/.*text}" After a slight pause, he continued, "Lord Zhang was born in Jinshi, has served as a local governor for many years, and is also very familiar with Jiangnan, so he should know that the former Ming Dynasty invaded the coastal areas of Jiangnan, and the purpose of building an ocean-going fleet was to protect the coastal areas of Liangjiang, Guangzhou, Fujian and Zhejiang from intrusion. ”

Zhang Boxing secretly sneered in his heart, he had seen what could be pulled, but he had never seen anyone who dared to open his mouth so much, and you could say such a far-fetched thing, but he didn't dare to be presumptuous due to Yinzhen's identity, so he said in a deep voice at the moment: "At this time, at that time, my Qing Dynasty is now strong and strong, and the four seas are returning to the heart, Japan is a small country, and there is no time to protect itself, how dare you knock again?" Why should the Fourteenth Master be alarmist. ”

"Master Zhang is really sitting in a well and watching the sky, deceiving himself." Yin Zhen sneered: "Since the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, why do the coastal areas let pirates run rampant and come and go freely?" You only see Japan, why don't you open your eyes and look at the Western countries, the warships of the Western Ocean, have you ever seen them? A warship can carry 100 artillery pieces and 1,000 soldiers, and I can fight against these naval warships of only a few hundred materials? Can you keep the enemy out of the country? Can the south coast of the Yangtze River be protected from intrusion? ”

Seeing that Yinzhen was aggressive, Zhang Boxing's temper also came up, and he immediately pushed back, "I only heard that there are more than 30 or 40 guns on board Western warships, and there are only 300 soldiers, how can I make such an exaggeration." ”

Yinzhen said contemptuously, "What you heard about is an old warship thirty or fifty years ago, which has long been eliminated, and now most of them have been converted into armed merchant ships, I am talking about new warships in the West, do you have friends in Guangzhou in the same year?" Repair the book and ask for it. ”

Seeing Yinzhen's words, Zhang Boxing couldn't help but ask a little discouraged, "Even so, what does it have to do with Zhang Yuanlong?" ”

Yinzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, "There is a big shipyard under the name of this Zhang Yuanlong, do you know?" All the ships he built there were mine. ”

Zhang Boxing was taken aback at this time, and blurted out, "Zhang Yuanlong also bribed you." ”

"Jokes." Yinzhen said disdainfully, "My lord's net worth of fifteen million taels has all been used to build an ocean-going fleet, bribe me, do you think I will look at that little money?" ”

Zhang Boxing felt a little blind, the rumors turned out to be true, the fourteenth prince Yinzhen turned out to be really rich and rival the country, and the fact that he funded the construction of the fleet alone was also true, what kind of person is this? What is he trying to do?

Yinzhen continued: "Speaking of the Reading Pavilion, Zhang Yuanlong is not only related to my Yinzhen's reputation in the Jiangnan maritime business, but also directly affects the progress of the ocean-going fleet, so none of you should fight his idea." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Boxing was deeply disappointed, "Could it be that the Fourteenth Prince will sit back and watch such greedy, arrogant, insidious and cunning, and sanctimonious scum as Kali plague Jiangnan?" The subordinate would rather resign than do it, and he is ashamed to be in the company of such a person with a beastly heart. ”

Seeing him so strong, Yinzhen couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, with such a stinky temperament, how did he climb to such a high position? It's hard to clean up the official, but you can't let him fall like this, besides, if he really wants to be so open-minded, Zhang Yuanlong will definitely be in a catastrophe, how to beat him? Since he is a clean official, he naturally has the same name, and he can only start with his name, so that he can change his mind, otherwise he is afraid that it will be an unhappy situation.

Thinking of this, Yinzhen's words changed, "Lord Zhang, you are an honest official, Yinzhen has always admired, in charge of a county, you can benefit a county, a pastor, you can push a province, a province, you can be a province, if you resign, wouldn't you abandon the people under your rule, how do you face the people who rely on you?" Speaking of this, Yinzhen paused, and then said slowly: "The gentleman is righteous, the villain is profitable, the old man is greedy for life, the Buddha is afraid of death, and the martyr is famous, and all are profitable." This is what you said about the Reading Pavilion, I don't know if this cherishes reputation and ignores the people under the rule, is it done by a gentleman or a villain? ”

Listening to this last question, Zhang Boxing suddenly felt a chill in his back, once these words came out, his life's reputation would be in vain, and the expectations of the saints, the love of the people, and the respect of the officials all appeared in front of him one by one.

Seeing that Zhang Boxing saw sweat on his forehead, Yinzhen was not too worried, and continued, "The so-called clean ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are turbid, why should Lord Zhang be stubborn, how difficult it is for the court to raise a clean official, Lord Zhang and must not live up to the emperor's grace and bear the people." In fact, the dispute between the governor and the court, the real establishment is in the word "compromise", and I hope that Lord Zhang will figure it out with his heart. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Boxing had completely sobered up, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and then bowed and bowed, "The lower officials are taught, but the country is easy to change, and the temperament is difficult to change. ”

Yinzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself, this is the wind bone? That's it, follow him to the Reading Pavilion, and if he continues, he will be in trouble, and it is a big deal to find another way to protect Zhang Yuanlong, and his thoughts have been decided, so he chuckled and said: "Lord Zhang, I don't want to interfere in local government affairs, but I don't want you to hinder my errands, people can't move now, and I will talk about it later." ”

Walking out of Liuchun Garden, Zhang Boxing couldn't help but touch his back, and secretly sighed, worthy of being a prince, this word compromise is really three points, fight when you should fight, compromise when you should compromise, this is the way to be an official, but unfortunately your own temperament can not be changed at all.

But this trip is not in vain, although Zhang Yuanlong can't move, but Yinzhen's last sentence has been prompted very clearly, he can first worship the impeachment, and the above will naturally send someone down to check, and then everything will be revealed to the world. This fourteenth prince is really not simple, at what age is this, he has this scheming and insight, it is really embarrassing, I don't know how other princes compare?

After Uncle Zhang walked, Yinzhen meditated for a while, then turned to the backyard and told Zhang Mengjiao about it in detail, Zhang Mengjiao's face was a little pale, she had long been worried that someone would find the handle of Kali from his father, as a breakthrough to attack Kali, but she didn't expect this day to come so suddenly, so quickly, and when the Zhang family had just experienced the blow, telling her father the news at this time was tantamount to making matters worse.

Seeing her ugly face, Yinzhen couldn't help but comfort: "This matter can't be contained, it's better to come early if it's late, don't worry too much, forget what the master told you at the beginning, this matter, the master took it." ”

"But......" Zhang Mengjiao hesitated, "I'm afraid this matter will bring trouble to the master." ”

"What's going on? Wouldn't there be no trouble if you didn't take care of it? Yinzhen said softly, "Okay, don't think about it too much, send someone to tell your father, there is a grandfather, let him relax, if even the Zhang family can't be saved, my Yinzhen will not be able to stay in Shanghai anymore." You bring my words to your father. ”
