Chapter 868: I Have a Way
After saying this, Eunuch Cui looked at Zhao Jin and others, but the indignation just now is not an insinuation and curse, now there are Jianzhou Jurchens outside the pass, there are Mongolian tribes on the grassland, and there is a luxury family chaos in the southwest, Daming is indeed empty, and the mobilization of existing soldiers and horses is also weak, cramped and embarrassed, now it seems that what Zhao Jin just said is really true, if you want to take advantage of the danger of Daming, continue to fight, in this situation, you will definitely be able to get greater and more benefits from the imperial court.
If Fang Cai still wants to fight for a while, and he doesn't want to be weak in arrogance, now he is really worried that the other party will tear his face, if this Zhao Jinzhen takes the opportunity to be angry, let this trick fail, and make the situation more erosive, I am afraid that it may really be out of control, and Wei Zhongxian Wei Gonggong, who presided over this qiΔ, will also be blamed by everyone, and even his own side
"When the Ming Dynasty was strong, I didn't want to do it once and for all, but I thought about what kind of mercy and creation, not killing and killing, there was no killing at that time, and now I have raised it for so many years, of course it is a big disaster" Zhao Jin said two words flatly, Cui Wensheng was a little shocked by the other party's reaction, he wanted to say something but had nothing to say, just sighed.
Tuguan Liuguan, the so-called Liuguan is a local official appointed by the imperial court and rotated regularly, and this local official is often the hereditary local Tusi chieftain, with the official title of the Ming Dynasty.
When the court was strong, they naturally did not dare to act rashly and submit to it, but the Ming court was weakening day by day, and the following were naturally different.
However, with emotion, Zhao Jin's future in Xuzhou and the surrounding places is no different from the local officials everywhere.
After hearing the news of the chaos in Sichuan's luxury family, Cui Wensheng didn't have the heart to argue about anything, but said in a low voice: "These things you said are not difficult to do, but, seeing that you are so familiar with the world, our family has nothing to hide, these are all tacit understandings that do not fall into pen and ink, if the person who promised this matter is there, he will admit it, if he is not there, it is difficult to say whether he recognizes it or not." β
"Even if the person who agreed to this thing is here, it will not remain the same, we know this." Zhao Jin replied.
Cui Wensheng ignored the meaning of Zhao Jin's words, but sighed again and said: "With your well-informed Cheng DΓΉ, you must know that this matter is presided over by Gonggong Wei, without his old man's kindness, Wang Yushi will not be released, but you have made trouble to this point, there is no way to end it, even if it is negotiated today, plus the time to send letters back and forth, when the canal opens, I am afraid that it will be mid-October, and by then how long can the canal pass, and how much grain can be sent to the capital, and then the winter grain will be insufficient, The government and the opposition are shaken, do you think Gonggong Wei can still do that position? I'm afraid that this trick will not be able to be done at that time, and if the follow-up is not good, we will have to find out the bottom of it, and then raise the sword soldiers, and then everything will be in vain. β
This is not the previous saber rattling, but very objective consideration for each other, the reason why we want to appease is to make the canal navigable, so that the winter grain reserves of the Beijing division are complete, if this is delayed, the matter of recruiting peace will naturally not be successful, and it will have to fight again.
From the arrival to the present, the two sides have not politely said a few words, but Cui Wensheng also has an accurate judgment, that is, Xuzhou Zhao Jin and these people also want to recruit An, and do not want to continue to fight, he said this, one means that he is depressed for calligraphy, and the other means that he wakes up the other party, and now even if Zhao'an and the negotiation are completed, the consequences may be out of control, and if you want to negotiate, you have to think of a way.
After saying this, Cui Wensheng sighed again, feeling that he was asking Yu Blind, these young warriors, even if they know more, how can they know that Cao Grain and Winter Grain are related, don't say that they are them, even those officials in the household department, how can they understand.
"Grandpa Cui, in another month, the section of the canal in the northeast of Beizhili and the mountain will be frozen, and there are so many boats blocked in the south and north of Qingjiangpu here, I'm afraid it's too late to rush things, Jingshi's winter grain reserves, or don't expect the grain to be transported north." Zhao Jin said in a deep voice, and Cui Wensheng nodded sullenly.
"But Grandpa Cui, the winter grain of the Beijing division is not impossible, this grain north transport from ancient times to the present, to the present I am afraid that it is not for the capital to eat, but for the life related to the transport of Cao, to say that after the river is broken, the capital will have no food to eat It is a joke, the production of the prefectures and counties of Beizhili is now a lot, Shuntian, Baoding and Zhending The production of the three prefectures is less, can't it be supplied to the capital?"
Zhao Jin narrated indifferently, but Cui Wensheng was stunned, and hesitated for a long time before nodding slowly, the Beizhili area has been fully opened since the time of Jin and Mengyuan, and after Chengzu Zhu Di set the capital of the capital, Beizhili has become the core of the world, reclamation and cultivation, and the fields are fully utilized.
However, most of the manors in the northern Zhili provinces are the private property of the nobles of the capital, and the generations of royal relatives and nobles have purchased farm houses, which are often chosen in the northern Zhili provinces, and the birth and accumulation of the inner court are often in this area.
Because of this backing background, naturally there will be no harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and there will be no such bastard things as Liaoyu, the tenants can barely eat and live, and they will not flee in large numbers because of bankruptcy, and the cattle and horses on the cultivated land will not be forcibly requisitioned or pawned, and the manpower and animal power are sufficient, and such a stable inheritance from generation to generation, the field production of Beizhili is much higher than that of other provinces in the north, and because there is no tax burden, the accumulation is also sufficient.
"How can these grains be so easy to move, don't say it's Gonggong Wei, even the Long Live Lord can't move it." After nodding, Cui Wensheng smiled bitterly.
The interests of this manor involve a lot of nobles, and there are a lot of big blocks in the inner court, which are all very close to the royal family, and the military merits have been declining for almost two hundred years, and today's nobles are all royal in-laws, either the emperor's wife or mother, how can they move.
Hearing Cui Wensheng's wry smile, Zhao Jin didn't move, Chen Han and the others sitting beside him exchanged glances with each other, but their faces were a little disdainful, and Eunuch Cui, who noticed this, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed.
Zhao Jin smiled and said leisurely: "If it is at the critical juncture of 100,000, it should be moved." β
Cui Wensheng sighed, but didn't answer, everyone also understands that he can indeed move, but after moving, Grandpa Wei will be crushed, and the people below will also be unlucky, and being busy for the country is also for the glory and wealth of his own family, if these are gone, then what's the point?
"In fact, the accumulation of manors in Beizhili can be used as a foundation, and you don't have to use it until the last moment, and there is a way to offend people, but it's not as troublesome as moving the Zhili Grange?" Zhao Jin said again.
The eunuch Cui Wensheng was stunned, his eyes narrowed slightly, but he opened his mouth and said, "I want to hear it." β
At this moment, Eunuch Cui really treated the young man in front of him who was more than twenty years younger than him or even more equal.
"Since Gonggong Cui is the governor of Caoyun, he naturally knows the bad rules and regulations on this river, and knows that it costs four stones of grain to transport one stone of grain to the capital, where did these grains go? In addition to being swallowed up by Cao Ding's troops, the big head is not stored in the official warehouses everywhere, and it can be sold in bulk at any time, what are the big warehouses in Qingjiangpu, I don't need to say more."
Zhao Jin said slowly, Cui Wensheng couldn't help nodding, grain transportation, that is, grain is transported from all directions to various nodes on the canal, and then at these nodes go north, and then stored in various nodes along the way to transfer and transfer, so many teenagers down, there are a large amount of grain stored in the warehouse at each node.
These granaries are supposed to be grain, but now more of them are private grains deducted in the name of grain, which is the benefit of all aspects, constantly sold and circulated, and constantly distributed to all parties, which is a process that is carried out every day every month.
In such a process, as long as there are no sudden natural disasters**, there will always be a large amount of grain accumulation in the granaries of the node towns along the canal.
Although Eunuch Cui has only been the governor of Cao Yun for less than a year, this joint is very clear, and the ups and downs related to the Daming Canal have been reaping benefits like this for hundreds of years, and there is no secret at all.
"Qingjiangpu is cut off, even if the river is opened, the grain over there will not have time to be transported to Jingshi, but what about Jining? What about Linqing? What about Tianjin? Father-in-law Wei looked for someone to check, I don't know how much food can be vacated, and at that time, Mo said that what Jingshi needs this winter will need, but I am afraid that it will be enough for next year. Zhao Jin talked eloquently.
These words made Cui Wensheng fall into deep thought, pondered there for a while, and slowly asked: "If you do this, you will also offend many people." β
"Joke, how can you not offend people when you do things, Gonggong Wei can't afford to offend the emperor's relatives and relatives, can't he afford to offend the unruly officials who manage the Cao and the warehouse? Besides, I really don't want to offend people, so I used it this year, and it would be nice to make up for it next year. Zhao Jin said with a smile.
The situation in Jining, Linqing and Tianjin is similar to that of Qingjiangpu, they are all important hubs of the canal, there are large warehouses for transit and storage of grain, and the warehouses are all small officials of some ** products, and they can indeed pull out the background of Tongtian behind them, but their own grade is indeed extremely low, and they will not provoke too much backlash.
Moreover, this grain is running every year, even if the default rules are broken and their private goods this year are taken, then the grain accumulation that has been delayed in Qingjiangpu can be transported to the north next year at the latest, and it will be enough to move it.
Eunuch Cui Wensheng nodded widely, and there was a sudden brightness on his face, it is indeed not difficult to do such a thing with the powerful position of Gonggong Wei, and it will not offend too many people, it is just expedient for a while, everyone will also give this face, it seems that this time the problem is in the past.
