Chapter 286: Zhou Dao is like a stone

These emperors in the late Ming Dynasty were really pitiful. Starting from Wanli, one counts as one. The civil officials are playing the game of raising the emperor as a pig, and the emperor who is unwilling to be a breeding pig is not a good emperor in the eyes of the civil officials.

Chongzhen is undoubtedly a great player in the game of thrones, but that's not all. His knowledge of the country is limited to what others have told him. To put it mildly, in terms of governing ability, he is not as good as the carpenter emperor Apocalypse. People can also support a Wei Zhongxian to come out, and the civilian-official group is obedient and obedient. From the perspective of the Ming monarch, Chongzhen's passing line is not enough.

Wen Tiren really wanted to move Sun Yuanhua, and planned to change someone to be the governor of Dengzhou, and let Sun Yuanhua go to Nanjing to be the waiter of the Ministry of Rites. Regarding these officials under Denglai's rule, how to reward them, Chongzhen frowned. The key is Sun Yuanhua, this guy is following Zhou Yanru. Chongzhen really wants to get rid of him, the question is to take out a hero, who will be the governor and suppress Chen Xie? Habitually, Chongzhen asked Wang Chengen: "Big companion, on the excerpt of Wen Tiren, I want to transfer Sun Yuanhua and let Xie Lian serve as the governor." I always felt that it was not so appropriate. ”

Wang Chengen said: "Long live Lord, you shouldn't ask the slave maid about this matter, you should ask Cao Huachun." There are people in Dengzhou in Dongchang, and he knows the details. Chongzhen was right when he thought about it, so he called Cao Huachun and asked about it.

Cao Huachun glanced at Wang Chengen, and smiled at Zhu Youzhen: "Long live Lord, this Sun Yuanhua, he doesn't like to make trouble." He handed over all the things about the war to Chen Sihua, and he only took care of the money and food for the cannons. The slave maid thought. These civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, no matter which one they go to Dengzhou, they can't call Chen Xie like him. They can't move. ”

Zhu Youzhen scratched his head in pain and sighed: "Yes, this Chen Sihua looks really loyal." But the Dengzhou battalion in his hand is afraid that another Guanning army will come out. ”

Wang Chengen took over the words on the side and said: "Long live the lord, the Guan Ning army is not as capable as the Dengzhou battalion, and the Liao salary is not less." ”

Zhu Youzhen listened to this. Nodding his head, he said, "That's the truth." Big friend, do you want to add some endowment to Dengzhou? ”

Wang Chengen said: "Long live Lord, which slave should be in charge of this matter?" ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled bitterly, nodded and said, "Yes." Oh, yes. Sun Yuanhua didn't move. Everything else is on track. That's right. Cao Huachun, you have to work hard, go to Dengzhou to have a look. By the way. I'm always a little worried, I'm afraid that there will be another ancestor birthday. ”

Chongzhen probably never thought about a question, how did Zu Dashou get to where he is today? Is it not thanks to him?

Tobe Shangshu waited for a call to ask questions. (Note: There is an error in the previous text, and from 1628 to March 1633, the head of the household department was Bi Ziyan.) ）

Chongzhen proposed to add endowment to Dengzhou, and Hou Yi said very simply: "But! In the name of the salt tax! "Why? Didn't say! It's not that I don't want to say it, but I can't say it. In the first battle of Lushun, Chen Xie's achievements were difficult to appreciate, and at this time, he had to be endowed in turn, and the meaning was obvious. It's to see Chen Xie's reaction. Emperor Lao Tzu is the most ruthless, and Hou Yan knows it, so he naturally will not go against his will. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with Tobe Shangshu. He's busy trying to keep the provinces from paying salt taxes. The provinces have accumulated a deficit of more than 3.2 million taels of salt and silver, and in April, the decree was just issued to urge it, and the household department really ran out of money.

After waiting for the wait, Zhu Youzhen made up his mind and asked Cao Huachun to go to Dengzhou to announce the reward. There weren't many things he could get his hands on, just some porcelain and calligraphy and paintings. Doesn't Chen Xie like porcelain, then appreciate his porcelain, especially the ones produced during the Chenghua period. Blue and white treasure pattern plate, give him a dozen, Doucai Sanqiu Cup, come a dozen. The vajra treasure pestle pattern plate is also a dozen. As long as there is something in the palace, Zhu Youzhen is not stingy, isn't it porcelain, how much can this thing be worth?

After appreciating the porcelain, look at the reward excerpts made by Wen Tiren, the Houdu Governor of the Nanjing Governor's Mansion, and then a General Xuanwei, from the first product, from the first product, so as not to reward him in the future. And a mess of worthless rewards, so be it.

After dealing with this matter, he picked up another excerpt, which was still for Chen Xie. The order issued by the Ministry of War and the vote drafted by the cabinet asked Chen Xie to transfer a unit from the Dengzhou battalion to Linxian County, Henan Province to suppress the Liukou. Think about adding a sentence to this excerpt, the Denglai salt class is doubled.

A headless sentence that doesn't make sense to you at all. But the meaning of this phrase is complicated.

Wen Tiren got the excerpt of Chongzhen's criticism, and after reading it carefully, his heart beat faster. "In today's eventful season, Denglai must not be chaotic, and Sun Yuanhua cannot be moved." Just such a sentence is equivalent to a slap in the face to the new first assistant, and the fan is hot and painful. Continuing to look down, when he saw that the salt class was doubled, Wen Tiren's hand touching his beard shook and he pulled off one of his beards.

Wen Tiren could only sigh in his heart, this decision was really fucking stupid. It's crazy to do it if you want money. The provinces of Daming owe 3.2 million taels of salt, and they don't owe a tael of silver to Denglai. Who came up with the idea? Lao Tzu is on the day! still let people live in peace, is Chen Sihua easy to bully? It was already too much to send his soldiers to suppress the thieves.

Wen Tiren inquired and knew that Zhu Youzhen had called Hou Yi for questioning, endured his anger, found Hou Yan's office, and threw the receipt on the table: "Is it your idea to double the Denglai salt class?" ”

Hou Yi looked at it calmly and said lightly: "It's the meaning of Majesty." Wen Tiren said angrily: "Why don't you stop it? Hou Yi sneered: "Why should I stop it? Wen Tiren was stunned, yes, why did you stop it? Hou Yi made up another knife: "I'd rather double the salt class than move Sun Yuanhua, Lord Shoufu." ”

It's a bit heavy, but it's definitely a bit of a belligerent statement. Is Chen Xie short of silver? That's a joke. What about Sun Yuanhua? This is tantamount to breaking the political pattern of Denglai, which is the arrangement that will go wrong. Sun Yuanhua can get along with Chen Xie, and it is difficult to say if someone else goes. Besides, didn't Sun Yuanhua reach his term of office, why was he in such a hurry?

Wen Tiren picked up the receipt, turned around and left, without saying a word. Hou Wei sighed, he didn't know the problem here, but it was just the lesser of two evils. I hope Chen Sihua is not the master who wants money and doesn't want to die.

Cao Huachun embarked on the road to Dengzhou, and could have taken the canal to Tianjin to take a sea boat, which was faster. But it was rare to come out once, Cao Huachun first arrived in Jinan along the canal, and then transferred to Dengzhou. This time is long, and the journey is not fast, all the way to the end of August.

At this time, Shen Shikui finished fighting with the Koreans on Phi Dao, Phi Dao was not lost, and Dongjiang Town was basically intact. After the battle of Lushun, Goryeo was honest, but he was afraid that Houjin would clean him up, so he didn't dare to find Da Mingtao, so he could only wait in fear.

As soon as Cao Huachun entered the territory of Laizhou, the road was smooth to the point that people could not feel any bumps. I deliberately got out of the car and took a look, I really don't know how to describe this road repair, and the books I read in my stomach are a "thoughtful way" when I think about it. As soon as I walked a little further, I saw colorful flags flying on both sides of the road, and gongs and drums in front of me.

Cao Huachun took a look, and Denglai Wenwu had arrived. With such a big formation, Cao Huachun was a little excited in his heart. Not for face, but for income. I don't know how much money I can earn from this trip, but I'm excited to think about it. There's no way not to be excited, Dengzhou is rich, and the officials are all rich, everyone knows it.

Sun Yuanhua, Zhang Yao, Song Guanglan, Zhu Wannian, Song Yi, all the heads and faces of the civil officials have arrived, Cao Huachun does not dare to take the big one, even if it is an angel, he has to put down the shelf at this time. Striding forward, the two sides "triumphantly meet" in the middle.

"Welcome Angel!" A cadre of people and others bowed down one after another, even if they met the emperor, it was this etiquette.

"Our family has suffered on behalf of the Son of Heaven!" Cao Huachun said a word, even if it was a courtesy, look around, there are a few generals, but I don't see Chen Xie, I can't help but be curious: "Why didn't you see General Chen?" ”

Sun Yuanhua said with a smile: "The Jiaolai River is flooded, the bridge has been broken, and Sihua is leading people to repair it." No, the new bridge is almost repaired, and when the angel returns, he will be able to cross the river by the new bridge. ”

Cao Huachun looked at Zhu Wannian unhappily, how did you become the prefect of Laizhou? Zhu Wannian didn't see it in front of him, this product was a stone in a pit, and he was the only one in the entire Denglai officialdom who didn't cooperate with Chen Xie. Of course, he is also very low-key, just guarding the acre and three points of land in Laizhou City, and he doesn't make trouble elsewhere. Salt and grain, when these two items were divided into silver, he also took a lot of them.

I spent the night in Changyi, and when I got up early the next day and walked forward, when I saw the Jiaolai River, there were people waiting on the side of the road.

"Chen Xie greets the angel!" General Chen carried five hundred iron horsemen, all of whom were in black clothes, red cloaks, and healthy horses around him.

Chen Xie did not have the habit of kneeling, it was a flat-chested military salute. Replaced by other generals, Cao Huachun was so angry that he didn't turn around and die. Chen Xie, this is an exception.

"Sihua, it's hard work." Cao Huachun accepted the salute, and then smiled and bowed his hand to speak. Chen Xie stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law has worked hard. ”

"I heard you're building a bridge, where are you?" Cao Huachun has a heart to be close, Chen Xie is very interesting, not to mention the benefits of the money bank, and the trick of the New Year's festival is not small.

Chen Xie pointed to the new bridge behind him and said, "Father-in-law, please see, this is the new bridge that was only completed last night." As soon as Cao Huachun heard this, he understood, what kind of bridge repair is just staring at people rushing to build a new bridge. Walking forward with Chen Xie, what I saw was a bridge that I had never seen since the Ming Dynasty. How to say this bridge, it is a very ordinary bridge in modern times, and the materials are reinforced concrete and masonry. But in the Ming Dynasty, where to find such a smooth bridge?

"This bridge is really ......." Cao Huachun was speechless, and finally held back a sentence: "Since entering Dengzhou, Zhou Dao is like a stone." (To be continued......)
