Today's court officials and noble families, if they are most closely related to the Dongxi mining area and Shao Yi, they are Zhan Kangwen and Weiyuanhou and other five. Several of them sent a well-known chief steward to the mine to manage it.

If the mining area really treats the miners and the fish and meat township, causing the people's resentment to boil, Zhan Kangwen and these families are afraid that they will not be able to get rid of it.

If you are grabbed by a political enemy with a vendetta, take a bite. I can't say it, this matter has become the five of them instructed to do it, but Shao Yi, a little less and no more excuse, is likely to be an ignorant young man who has been calculated by the cunning subordinates, and the final mastermind may be Zhan Kangwen's family.

It's really come to this point, and they really can't tell it clearly.

Several old foxes in the cabinet have worked together for so long, and their understanding of each other is extraordinary. The wind flew a few times, and Zhan Kangwen probably knew what these people were thinking.

He naturally knew the style of the steward he had sent out himself.

Moreover, according to the news that came back, Mo Hong, who was in charge of the mining area, was not harsh, and the treatment given to the miners was quite good. At least in terms of food, shelter, and even clothing, they are much better than they are at home.

Thinking of this, he casually threw the fold back on the table and sneered: "Are these people a little responsible?" With the rich offerings of the imperial court, before the excerpt, I didn't know how to send people to see what kind of life the people of Dongxi lived, nor did I know how to understand how the miners in the mining area lived. In this way, I dare to hand over the fold, but I didn't expect that it would bring such convenience to officials when they opened their mouths? ”

This old fox is saying: Is the person who is on the fold talking nonsense?

He Shouli and the three of them looked at each other, looked at Zhan Kangwen, who had been in a hurry for a long time, and then looked at the folds they were holding in their hands, and their hearts were bottomless.

When the magnates in the capital flocked to Dongxi to buy land, their families also sent people over, and each bought a different amount of land.

The clerk didn't stay there for long, and it was simple to come back and return to his life, only to say that the land there was extremely barren, and if there were not a large number of black gold stones buried underneath, or the land was given to people for nothing, no one would ask for it.

As for the rest, nothing was said.

If they only relied on the words of these few folds, they would have hurriedly handed them over to the emperor and asked for investigation. And after checking it out, what the excerpt said was false, so how many of them were Zhan Kangwen said, and they were officials of the imperial court for nothing, right?

"Zhanxiang, if the four of us know the Dongxi area the most, it is none other than Zhanxiang. You see, these folds are written in a clear manner, and the words are full of sentiments of worrying about the country and the people. But whether these are true, the three of us don't know, Zhan Xiang has a subordinate in the mining area, or Zhan Xiang Ye will tell us, do you think it's good? Gao Qi, who was in third place, asked.

Gao Qi's question was very polite, but Zhan Kangwen didn't buy it. He laughed dryly twice and said: "Zhan Mou also sits in the court all day long, how can a few people know what they don't know?" ”

Did he pick up Joe? He Shouli said unhappily: "What Zhan Xiang said just now, isn't it accusing these excerpts of chasing the wind and catching shadows and saying untruths?" ”

Zhan Kangwen is right: "He Xiang said cautiously, Zhan Mou does not dare to accuse others at will. It's just that, as you know, there is an exhibition manager in the Wujin Stone Mining Area. The old man didn't dare to guarantee it, but if there was anything in the mining area that violated the laws of the imperial court, whether it was Mo Hong or Shao Yi, the manager of the Zhanfu would definitely not sit idly by. Even if he is in the way of duty, he will not leave categorically, at least he will report to the old man. ”

He looked at his other three colleagues and said solemnly: "However, it has been more than a month since the Dongxi mining area hired people on a large scale and mined a large number of black gold stones, but the old man has never heard such information. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and almost at the same time, between these excerpts and Zhan Kangwen, they chose to believe Zhan Kangwen.

It's not that they think he is noble and will not tolerate things that break the law and harm the people. It's this old guy who is a thief and will never put himself in danger.

He Shouli said: "We believe in Zhanxiang. However, these excerpts are not easy to press down without authorization, and they still have to be mentioned to the emperor. But we also have to say our attitude, we can't make conclusions until these things are investigated. ”

Gao Xie and Liu Min both agreed: "He Xiang's words are reasonable, so do it." ”

Next, the four of them prepared to discuss the matter at dawn tomorrow morning.

These excerpts are the three arguments:

First, Shao Yi was deprived of his qualification to mine alone, and several mining forces were added to participate in the mining of black gold stone.

There is no need to think about this article, it must be that some powerful families in the capital covet the interests of Wujinshi and want to get a piece of the pie. Maybe it's already up and running now, and I'm sure I'm sure of it.

Second, it is about the management of the black gold stone transported into Beijing. It is suggested that the imperial court take all the distribution rights of the black gold stone, except for the court's own use, and sell the rest according to certain rules.

In this case, there are about other workshops that want to use this kind of black gold stone, which has strong firepower and can greatly improve efficiency.

In addition, there may be another layer of meaning, which is aimed at Qingyun Zhai. I don't want Qingyun Zhai to take all the benefits. But this article, the four cabinet elders have tacitly reached a consensus: the excerpt of this content will probably be adopted by the emperor.

As for Qingyun Zhai...... Hehe, in the face of the emperor's eagerness to enrich the treasury, whether it is Qingyunzhai or Shao Yi, it has to be in the back row.

Even if Shao Yi is used to mine the Wujin stone exclusively, it is because the imperial court is temporarily unable to reach out, and the best choice is made to ensure the uninterrupted mining of the Wujin stone.

Third, this content is properly targeted. If you want to take advantage of the dispute between the mining area and the surrounding villagers to make Shao Yi unlucky, it is best to punish him, and the emperor will no longer defend him in the future.

It may also be what He Shouli and others thought, maybe someone wants to take this opportunity to disgust Zhan Kangwen's five families, and take revenge by the way, who let them take advantage of the purchase of land in Dongxi? If you can give them some punishment, or simply let these five families spit out the land of Dongxi, it will be an unexpected joy.

……

The next morning, the ministers of the court put on their own excerpts and recitals.

After the minister's recital is over, the next step is for He Shouli to come out and tell the three meanings of the several excerpts he received yesterday.

Of course, his narration is decent, and he only says what he has summarized, without any tendencies, judgments and assumptions.

As He Shouli's narration progressed, there was also a discussion in the court.

Those rumors from the outside world, after a day of fermentation, by the evening, these ministers also heard it. Some of their own children heard it, and some of the stewards who were working outside heard it, and those who came back to report it, they all knew it.

Now, in combination with what He Shouli said, the ministers thought of the Wujin Stone on the other side of Dongxi, and muttered to each other. Although this is quite profitable, there are many people who are worried about it, and the risk is really big.

In He Shouli's recital and everyone's discussions, Sun Congshan had already taken the folds and put them on the emperor's desk.
