The amount of gold and silver increased by one million taels, but the Son of Heaven did not make up his mind in the known sources, but boasted of raising himself, and the hundreds of officials and ministers in the court, and the scholars and literati in the opposition, all regarded them as juveniles, and after a while, they were silent, maybe it was a joke.

I didn't expect that in less than a month, nearly 300,000 taels of silver were actually organized, and now I see, who is a joke, it is really difficult to say.

Stealing stolen goods and family property, no one dares to intervene in this, in case it is considered to be implicated, it is not a white injustice, and it is not a long-term solution anyway.

But there are still 40,000 taels that Wang Tong got from rectifying the Haijiang, this is the real trouble, rectifying the Haijiang, and those who understand a little bit among the hundred officials know what is going on.

I know but I can't say that the sea ships carry goods to the north to sell, this is the usual business of the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is a prohibited business, and the national law does not tolerate it.

Wang Tong's rectification of Haijiang is just to let them make less money, but if they speak out and make this matter clear, then it must be completely banned, so that everyone has nothing to earn.

Whether it is more people who offend by making less money, or more people who offend other people's businesses, everyone will calculate this account, and after weighing, they can only watch Wang Tong go to "rectify Haijiang".

As for the relationship between the ships that could sail north from Nanzhili, Zhejiang, and even Fujian to Tianjin and the pirates, no one cares.

In the year of Jiajing, Zhu Kun, the governor of Zhejiang, exterminated the pirates of Shuangyu Island in Zhejiang, but was suspended the following year and forced to commit suicide by taking poison.

This was still at the time when the pirate and the Japanese invaded the southeast at its most intense, and why the extermination of the pirates and the armed merchant ships of the Francois was suspended and forced to death was because his actions greatly damaged the interests of the southern gentry and merchant class, and this interest class, even the Jiajing Emperor Yanjing had to be affected by it.

Jiajing is still like this, and in the year of Wanli, the situation is even worse, and it is a big tiger that cannot be touched, otherwise why would Zhang Ge Lao only make a fuss about Tian Fu.

He is willing to do this, and if he goes, it is good luck to do it, and everyone is happy to see it if it can't be done. But in order to attack Wang Tong, spread out the matter of Tianjin Weihai, who knows if it will cause any other rights and wrongs, in case someone says something to close the port or send troops to exterminate it, that person will not get better, and he will be unlucky to cause right and wrong.

Everyone turns a blind eye and pretends to be confused, just treat it as Wang Tong is rectifying Haijiang over there......********* Li Wenyuan's private house has moved from the dilapidated house on the south side of South Street to a better place, and he is now considered to be an official promotion, but there is no one to serve him in the house, and he is still busy with his own life.

The house is clean, and there are few guests in normal times, but today someone came to visit, and the revitalization building sent a few dishes early, and helped to arrange it and left quickly.

Li Wenyuan's guests were none other than Zou Yi and Lu Wancai, not so much as guests, but rather a meeting, it was not yet dark, and the two had already arrived.

After taking a seat, Li Wenyuan first opened his mouth to tell about his investigation of Yang Sichen, and Lu Wancai and Zou Yi supplemented and verified it in turn.

"This person is a cultivator, and he was sent to Lord Wang by Shen Shixing, our little adults have good luck, and the future is bright!"

Lu Wancai laughed and teased, Yang Sichen's identity is really not complicated, it is really simple to inquire with the current intelligence force of the Public Security Division, after the three-party verification, there is no conspiracy in it, but it is more certain that Zhang Siwei took action to bring down Zhang Han.

Li Wenyuan nodded and said:

"Bother Lord Lu to write a document tonight, Ming said to send someone an urgent letter to Tianjin Wei, when Lord Wang was in Beijing, Lord Lu and Zou Gonggong could still help here, and when they got there, there was only one Cai Gonggong who could write articles around him, and there was not enough help, if Yang Sichen could use it, it would really be a big help."

Zou Yi looked at the sky outside the window and said in a deep voice:

"Wait for our family to go back to the palace, there are a few things in the palace to bring a letter to Lord Wang, the firearms workshop over there in Tianjin Wei will be handed over to Lord Wang, and the master of ceremonies has approved the red approval, and besides, the name of the lord's governance of Haijiang has been decided, and in the future, Tianjin will actually be equivalent to a switch.

Lu Wancai, who was on the side, smiled and slapped his palm with a folding fan, and said:

"It's all a good thing, it's all a good thing, this firearms workshop is usually an errand for the fathers-in-law, Lord Wang does it, what is the name?"

"He said that he was the ambassador of the Ministry of Industry's firearms supervision, and as usual, the Ministry of Industry would send a director over."

"Oh? Does Grandpa Zou still remember the person who was willing to be in charge? ”

Lu Wancai went around in a circle, Zou Yi nodded, the director of the Ministry of Industry has helped for a long time, and everyone knows each other, Lu Wancai said with a smile:

"If Gonggong Zou can talk and acquaintances are easy to do, then the director is a non-drilled person, and when he goes to Tianjin, he may be able to help the adults."

"It's not that hard."

The three of them have an inextricable relationship with Wang Tong, one is prosperous and the other is lost, everything is closely related, so everything is considered for Wang Tong, Wang Tong is good, and it is naturally for the good of their side.

"Let you be on an errand in the East Factory, not let you run in the kiln all day long, there is such a big thing in Tianjin, Long Live Lord and Zhang Cheng know about it, but our family doesn't know at all, what are you doing as the head of the East Factory? ”

Outside the imperial city, in Feng Bao's private residence, Feng Bao was losing his temper with his nephew Feng Youning, Feng Bao had no children, and treated his nephew Feng Youning as if he were his own son.

Although he was reprimanded there, Feng Youning was not afraid, and just explained with a face full of grievances:

"Uncle, Xiang Yan, who was arranged by Dongchang in Tianjin Wei, is a person from Xue Zhanye's side, Xue Zhanye's people all listen to Zhang Cheng's words, and his nephew's side can't move, besides, isn't it your uncle's old order to let your nephew interfere less in Zhang Cheng's affairs?"

Feng Bao slapped the coffee table beside him fiercely and said sharply:

"Let you interfere less, and it's not that you don't care about Tianjin Wei's affairs, the firearms workshop incident caused our family to be reprimanded by the Lord Banzai, and the Queen Mother reprimanded, and I have to pull down my face and say that I have lost Zhang Taiyue...... That Wang Tong is too ignorant, so he immediately arranged for someone to go to Tianjin to stare at such a toss in Tianjin Wei! ”

"Yes, nephew will arrange it!"

Feng Youning agreed in a panic, hurriedly turned around, and was stopped by Feng Bao after taking a step, and said in a deep voice:

"Don't tell anyone about sending someone to Tianjin, not even Xue Zhanye."

Feng Youning hurriedly agreed.

After several orders about Wang Tong were issued, many people in Jingshi set off for Tianjin Wei, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and even the ...... of the Criminal Department, but these people did not inform their colleagues in Tianjin, and the itinerary was quite secret.

On August 14, Emperor Wanli went to the court early, and on this day he had to stay in Wenyuan Pavilion for a lot longer than usual.

This is also a custom, the fourteenth and twenty-ninth days of each month, because the first and fifteenth days of each month are the great court meeting, to gather hundreds of officials in the middle of the palace, the emperor and the courtiers wear ceremonial clothes, the emperor on the throne to accept the courtiers to bow, this time the five grades of the Jingshi have to participate, the scale is very large.

But this is only a ceremonial court meeting, and does not discuss political affairs, so on August 14 this day to do two things, and August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival, this 15th is not the same as the past, August 15 night moon viewing party, there is this tradition inside and outside the palace, August 16 often can not do anything.

Therefore, August 14 did a lot of work, and the emperor and his ministers also spent a lot of time in Wenyuan Pavilion.

The imperial study room is divided into inside and outside, the outside is outside the courtyard gate, the inside is the courtyard gate and the study, the eunuchs and guards outside the courtyard gate are personally selected by Zhang Cheng, and reported to the Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao to determine.

Only Zhao Jinliang is the only one who is really stationed in the inner courtyard, and the cleaning of the study is carried out by other eunuchs, but it must be under the supervision of Zhao Jinliang and a Dongchang fanzi.

Before the time to clean, only Zhao Jinliang could be in this courtyard, and some of the letterheads that were to be sent directly to Emperor Wanli were also put on the bookcase by him.

The status is different, Zhao Jinliang's status in the palace is also rising, the place where he lives now is very close to Zhang Cheng's house, and it is also a separate courtyard, and there are two elderly palace maids who live together, to put it bluntly, they are serving his daily life.

A eunuch of Zhao Jinliang's age should study in the inner study hall in the morning or afternoon, but Zhao Jinliang is on an errand in the imperial study, and he can't make up the time, so the teaching in the inner study hall depends on when Zhao Jinliang has time and takes the initiative to come over to teach.

For Zhao Jinliang, a ten-year-old child, the maintenance and cleaning of the house and courtyard of the imperial study has been a bit hard for him.

But Zhao Jinliang never treats people arrogantly, every time he is silent, he works diligently, never complains about his hard work, and he doesn't use his status to let people help, because Zhang Cheng confessed, the fewer people from this courtyard, the better, and he will definitely do it, Zhao Jinliang knows that all this is his own opportunity, and he must grasp it firmly and not lose it.

On August 14, almost half an hour after Emperor Wanli went, someone sent a letterhead from Tianjin again, this time it was not a secret letter, but Wang Tong's report on the situation and a few ideas, Zhao Jinliang restrained what he wanted to see, and put the letterhead on the bookcase.

As soon as I went out, I heard the voices of eunuchs and guards outside the courtyard saluting and greeting:

“…… I've seen King Lu's Chitose ......"

While speaking, a young man with pink carving walked into the courtyard and said with a smile:

"The third volume of Zhu Zi's language, I heard that the emperor's brother has a private book engraved by Song Duanzong at that time, borrow it!"
