The feast was set up in the main hall of the north of the governor's yamen signing house, Li Wei had a bold temperament, so broad, as soon as he came to Nanjing to take up the governor's office, he ordered someone to tear down the original good and decent Wuying hall. But he has a way, it is still five wings, but the length and width are doubled, and they are three times larger than the original. When Hongli and his party of six came out of the back hall to see the screen, the officials in the hall were all sitting in place. Some talked and laughed, some whispered, and some of the villagers gathered in the corner to talk about their daily routines, and the voices were buzzing and noisy. ”

"So many acquaintances! Ah Long, Yin Deqian, Jiang Wenyi, A Gui, Yingde, Lei Xiaotian, Fan Puhui, Zhang Huaying......" Hongli laughed and walked upward, identifying the officials who went to the banquet below. He named the names of more than 40 people in one breath, some of them inspected the river workers with him, inspected the barracks, some reported the case for him, read the documents, and some were just friends of the official service, the big one was just the prefect, and the small one was just a county Cheng, Hongli slowly named and greeted without any mistakes or omissions, and even Li Wei couldn't help but be surprised, "This master is so good to remember!" Hongli waved his hand and said, "Get up, please take a seat." Today, Li Wei invited me to eat for me, don't be formal, just be happy! ”

Everyone sat down, Li Wei sat next to Hongli, holding a cup in one hand, his pale face flushed with excitement, and laughed loudly: "Everyone, some of you have not worked with me for a long time, and some of you have been together for a long time. He glanced at Fan Shijie, "Like our brother-in-law Fan, we have been friends for decades, right?" I didn't set up a feast for passers-by. Some people say that it is called stingy, but in fact, I have no money, and we can't be a stolen official, and I can't afford to invite guests with my money. Now that the emperor's grace is vast, the officials have refreshed the fire and returned to the public, and the incorruptible silver has been raised, and I, Li, have two village money. So let's drink this first cup dry, and wish the saints a long life! He leaned back and lit up the bottom of the cup. Everyone didn't dare to slack off, the sleeves of their robes were stumbling, the cups were smacking, and they immediately drank it.

"This second cup, to our Prince Bao, my young master!" Li Wei got up and poured a cup for Hongli, and said with a smile, "Our two provinces in Zhejiang were the first to implement the system of raising incorruptible silver, and they were the first to measure the land, and they were the first to spread the land into acres. The emperor commended me as a model governor, in fact, how much water I put in my stomach, and everyone's hearts are refreshed. The prince is in Beijing, how much he has taken care of Li Wei for me, I know it, and I also know how good Lao Fan ** is. Although our prince is young, he is meticulous and thoughtful in dealing with the world, and he is kind and kind in dealing with people, and you can't imagine it if you are not in it, this time the prince was ordered to inspect our area, and everything is from a high house - well, this and this far-sighted, Ti'er ordered. We got the errand done as it should. How many of you have ever seen golden branches and jade leaves like the fourth master, barefoot and barefoot to inspect the Yellow River embankment, drive a small boat to measure the silt, and how many people and hungry people are doing homework, asking long and short questions, and personally inspecting the disaster relief in the porridge shed? Suzhou and Hangzhou Paradise is a foot away, and our fourth master has not experienced it. Therefore, the fourth master is the pillar of our Yongzheng Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty, and it is also our cool tree! Come, for the fourth master's longevity and health, return to Beijing with a tailwind, we did it! ”

Hongli listened to Li Wei praise himself repeatedly, although he was not without suspicion of sycophancy, but he said it sincerely and seamlessly, listening to his few idioms that were not authentic, he raised his glass with a secret smile in his stomach and said: "How can Xiao Wang be virtuous?" This all depends on the emperor's foresight, relying on the princes to be loyal and honest in governing things, and the two rivers can be governed well. Li Wei is a big model, Zhujun is a small model, everyone has worked hard, we encourage each other! "Say it and raise a glass with everyone.

"Liangjiang is a wealth in the world," Li Wei smiled and poured them one by one for Hongli and Fan Shijie, Mao Xiaoxian, and Liu Tongxun, who was sitting with him, and said: "I came here to say goodbye, and the emperor has repeatedly instructed that the implementation of the new policy must be stable." I think we have lived up to the emperor, stable and fast, so it didn't take long to get a 'model' lottery. A fence with three piles, a hero with three gangs, all thanks to more than 700 officials from the two provinces to help me, the governor who can't read big characters. Therefore, I drank this third cup of wine alone to set an example. Everyone burst into laughter, Li Wei drank wine and asked Fan Shijie: "Did I say something wrong?" Fan Shijie laughed and coughed: "I should say 'to show respect'." 'To set an example' is a phrase in the criminal law proclamation, which means that no one else is allowed to do the same! Even what your brother said, 'high-mindedness', 'ear-to-ear orders', and 'temperance in the wind and rain', Lao Fan didn't dare to compliment. Li Wei blushed and smiled: "I can't memorize the manuscript written by our master well." But what I mean is very clear, all in all, you puppies and our big dogs are showing your faces in front of the emperor and the fourth master. Raise a glass and you're done! ”

He had wine, and immediately his true colors were revealed. Hongli usually saw him in Nanjing, although he also ridiculed, he never saw him so profligate, referring to himself and his subordinates as dogs, because he quietly asked Yin Jishan: "Li Youjie loves to scold people, the emperor told me that he was rude, is there such a thing on weekdays?" Yin Jishan smiled and whispered: "He didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of his master, he ate wine today." These officials have already been scolded by him on weekdays. He also has one more rule: the more he loves that official, the more he scolds him. Tell the fourth master a joke, the middle officer in front of him turned out to be on an errand in the signing room. I came to see Youju, and he said: 'Tell Zhongcheng a word, I'm going to be promoted!' I asked, 'How do you know?' He said, 'Yesterday a producer scolded me for 'getting out'!' Sure enough, two days later, the sign of his five-rank martial arts in the Chinese army was hung out. Hongli couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, but he was a noble person, and he paid attention to the rules and proportions of everything, because he leaned down and pretended to pick up the fan and snickered for a while before sitting up straight again. Li Wei hurriedly came over to persuade him to drink, and said loudly: "The fourth master will leave in five or six days." In addition to the three glasses of wine that Fang Cai persuaded him, the slave also had two treasures to offer. ”

"What treasure?" Hongli felt "Geden" in his heart, and there was no smile on his face. Li Wei knew what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "Fourth master, don't worry, it's not gold, silver, pearls and jade, and it's not a rare toy." Songjiang, Changzhou, and Zhenjiang had a bumper harvest last autumn, and the gentry voluntarily donated 1 million stones of japonica rice. Although the grain is not much, it is the people's intention to respect Emperor Tianzun. I sent people to check these three prefectures, the treasury and the righteous warehouse are full, and the treasury and silver account are two symbols, which is indeed the loyalty of the people. Hongli listened, his face was already flushed, and he was very happy: "The prefects of the three prefectures, you write a protective film." The owners and farmers who are happy to lose a thousand stones make a list, and I will be the winner of this matter, and give them nine products to wear to show their honor! As soon as Hongli's words came out, they immediately aroused the praise of the officials. He was proud for a while, and then felt that it was inappropriate, and at this time he didn't have time to think about it, and asked with a smile: "What about your second treasure?" ”

Li Wei was in good spirits and radiant, and he didn't look like a person at all at the moment, and said with a smile: "I have also been to this place in northern Jiangsu a few times, east of Gaojiayan to the intersection of the Yellow River at the mouth of the Qingjiang River, after a few heavy floods, I can't tell which is the main river and which is the tributary. The fourth master was anxious about this, and asked the household department to allocate one million taels of silver to repair the Yellow River and clean up the siltation of Caoyun. This is the fourth master's heart. The province implements the integration of officials and gentry on errands, those who have money to pay, and those who have power to contribute, do not bother the imperial court, and start from the autumn dry water along the Yellow River Prefecture and counties to govern in sections. The embankment east of Xiaojiadu has been completely closed. As soon as the cauliflower flood passes, the yellow water washes away, and the old road can be restored immediately, and I have calculated that 700,000 hectares of barren land can be silted out. Fourth master, at that time, you can look at Li Wei's reclamation! ”

"Good, good! This is truly another treasure! Hongli was very excited, not to mention the silting of the land, just the river embankment Helong, he would be so happy that Yongzheng couldn't sleep. He raised his glass: "All the gentlemen drink together, and those who don't do it will be punished with three glasses of wine!" He stood up.

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses over the top, and after a crisp sound of Gayu colliding, the bottom of the cup was turned over for inspection.

"However, the wine I call Huazi is not delicious." Li Wei waited for everyone to sit down, and slowly walked down from his seat with a smile on his face, and paced until he stood at a table in the southwest corner. Hongli didn't know what he was doing, so he glanced at Yin Jishan in surprise, Yin Jishan hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered: "Li Gong wants to dispose of people." When Hongli looked closely, he saw a table of officials sitting like wooden chickens, anxiously waiting for the governor to attack.

After a long time, Li Wei took a long breath, paced to a table, and smiled at a middle-aged official: "Chen Shiqi, you are the secretary of the previous year, and you were appointed by Taicang Zhili Prefecture, right?" Hongli looked at Chen Shiqi, and saw that he was thirty-five or sixteen years old, wearing a hat and a hat, an eight-python and five-clawed robe, a heron and a heron, a square face, a pair of small eyes blinking, a black mustache, and a slight upturn, revealing shrewdness and stubbornness. Hongli had a good impression when he saw it, but he saw Chen Shiqi calmly get up and replied: "My lord remembers it well, what are the teachings, please instruct!" ”

"Where!" Li Wei smiled, "I respect your talents." Kangxi was fifty-one years old, and he was only twenty years old, and he was admitted to the Jinshi. I have the ink scroll you selected in my study, as well as your "Plum Courtyard Poems", although I don't know much about it, I heard people say that they are all first-class masterpieces. ”

"The gold medal of the humble and fallacious adult, those are all small skills of carving insects!"

"You're welcome." Li Wei said lightly, "You have a good character, you didn't stretch out your hand to be greedy for ink, and I didn't hear that you had an unjust case." I went to Taicang, and the people there said you were a good person. Don't underestimate this test language, it is rare to be able to make people say that they are 'good people' in officialdom these days. The Taicang Academy you built, I think it's stronger than Songshan Academy. When I walked into your yamen, I couldn't hear the sound of the board and the abacus, but there was the sound of the piano, chess, and poetry. Scholars say that you are a virtuous order. In my opinion, you are a 'noble official'. ”

Chen Shiqi smiled faintly and said: "It is the duty not to be greedy, and cultivating the academy is the sacred study of Changming, and it is also the duty of a scholar. I am an official and a man by nature. I don't pay much attention to what people say about me. ”

"But I don't understand," Li Weiqi changed color suddenly, "Seventy-two prefectures and counties in Jiangnan Province, as well as more than fifty prefectures and counties in Zhejiang, have all implemented the integration of officials and gentry to pay grain, but you are on top of it?" What do you rely on? You are not under my control, or you despise me Li Wei, or is there any other reason? Well?! ”

When the people in the room heard him praise Chen Shiqi, they were all surprised when a stone fell to the ground in their hearts, but Li Wei suddenly turned his face and questioned him with a series of guns, and his voice was full of ruthlessness, and he couldn't help but be surprised. Several officials at the same table as Chen Shiqi felt the same way, and they all sweated profusely. Chen Shiqi seemed to have been suddenly beaten with a stick, his body staggered, and his face turned blue and yellow, but he quickly calmed down and arched his hand to Li Weiyi and said, "Lord Zhangtai, you are serious." The gentry and tenants in Taicang have always been at odds with each other, and every year in my predecessor, they seized tenants on August 15, forced them to death, or killed their owners. Last autumn, the situation of the Henan officials and gentry paying grain and working on errands came to us, and there were more than a dozen cases of tenants resisting rent and coercing landlords with weapons. Taiwan, the owner is the foundation of the imperial court, the royal road is governed, and the Sui'an place depends on them on weekdays. They were coerced by the tenants, and they were already nameless, and we squeezed them and the tenants on a business trip to pay for food, swept the floor, and the gentry were short of breath, either to encourage the ruffian and stubborn people to resist the dignity, or to force the gentlemen and the people to join the crowd. When there is a flood and a drought and a harvest fails, the disaster is unpredictable. Master Li, I admire you very much, and I also convince you of your ability. I just don't know why I offended you, today in front of the prince and the context, it is your family feast, why do you embarrass me for no reason? As he spoke, his face was full of tears, and he choked up and said: "I feel sorry for myself, and even more sorry for you, and I am still worried about the people of Taicang......"

Li Wei had a sarcastic sneer on his face at first, but gradually became quiet, becoming more and more pale, and finally he was stunned, just staring at the Chen Shiqi in front of him, his head dizzy, and he stood still like a lightning strike. After a while, Li Wei sighed, and suddenly threw Chen Shiqi to the ground, lowered his head and refused to raise it, and said: "It's Li Wei who has done something left, I apologize to you in public!" ”

"My lord, how can this?"

"I don't read after all," Li Wei choked up, "You can afford it." If you don't forgive me, I'll bow to the end of the feast! ”

Chen Shiqi burst into tears, put his hands around Li Wei's body, and said, "That being the case, I reluctantly obey the constitution." I also don't, I have already seen that adults are dissatisfied, and I should have said it through earlier. Reading people are arrogant, and it is not all to blame adults for getting this field. What's more, you are in charge of the military and civilian affairs of the two provinces, and you are also responsible for inspecting the bandits in the world. ”

"Well, both are national treasures." Hongli was surprised and curious and shocked, so far he was moved and relieved, got up with a pot in one hand, and a cup in the other, and said with a spring breeze on his face: "A corporal who breaks the knot, and a corporal who follows etiquette, good!" I'm here to have a drink with you! As he spoke, he poured a glass for each of them, and poured it himself, and the three glasses of wine were like amber, and when they touched it, they were already done. Li Wei had already returned to normal, grinned, and went up to pat Chen Shiqi on the shoulder to speak Anhui dialect, and said, "Li Wei of Niang Xipi looked down on the reader. You have a lot of talent, the thief girl is doing it well! ”

The crowd applauded and laughed. Li Wei said with a smile: "In the second year of Yongzheng, Li Fu visited me, saying that I didn't read, didn't learn, and watched the play against the will. I play long live, there are people who don't read, and I watch the play because I don't read and want to understand history, so the governor of the world is not allowed to watch the play, but I am the only one who is 'ordered to watch the play', today is my family feast, borrow a place in the official family, and ask the drama people to sing a sentence! He pulled Chen Shiqi to the upper seat, and said repeatedly: "Start the play!" - Come, sit down with me and talk! ”

Suddenly, the two compartments of the sheng reed chord chord should be harmonized. Six young women, dressed in Han costumes, with lotus green skirts swaying to the ground, silver and red armor are awakening, and they emerge from behind the screen with the beat. Under the lamp, the beauty is covered up, and the soul-destroying appearance is fascinating. Hiroshi has been away for a long time, the affairs are complicated, and the troubles and depression have been washed away, but when I listen to the kabuki singing, it is:

The red cherry blossoms are hanging green, the golden bell branches are deep, and the Yao step flowers are few. 10,000 swallows give away the old love, and fight for the old people! Qingge at the bottom of the fan, I still remember Fan Ji is petite. Several degrees of acacia, red beans are sold, and the green silk is empty......

"Okay, this is Wang Yisun's "Three Charms"!" Hongli beat according to the beat, carefully tasted and commented, and praised: "This piece is also well composed, it can be called a perfect tune." ”

"I'm a layman after all, I don't understand." Li Wei took a sip of tea with a smile, looked at the swaying dancer, shook his head thoughtfully, and sighed: "No way." "There's a way." Fan Shijie smiled and squeezed his eyes at Hongli, "The fourth master is right in front of you, the fourth master will be the master for you, and Cui'er will have to rely on it if she doesn't follow it!" Hongli listened attentively and asked in a trance: "What is the matter with you squeezing your eyebrows?" ”

Mao Xiaoxian smiled: "This is Lord Li's love." The first to choose the drama team, there is a young student named Douguan, who is very involved in the production stage, so he accepted the room to be a girl, and the girl also admires adults. It's a pity that my sister-in-law is merry and drunk, and the rouge tiger roars so badly, so far she doesn't even have a name. Isn't this something that the fourth master can just say? "Cui'er is still a vinegar jar?" Hongli smiled, "It doesn't matter, I'll tell you about it when I go back." Li Wei looked at Liu Tongxun with a straight face embarrassedly, and said, "They don't know, and Cui'er is not jealous." First, the saint had something to say back then, Li Wei was not allowed to beg for a small one, and secondly, my body and bones were not good, so I put it aside. ”

A few people talked and laughed, and they had already changed their songs.

This is the speechless veined begonia, and this is the apricot blossom and peach hidden in the clouds. The soul dissipation place is wrapped in red makeup, with a hook and a phoenix, and a clever smile to welcome people, just like nephrite jade plastic princess, Lan Fu Xi Shi sends warm incense. How to get the matchmaker to report the screen window, then I have this meritorious heart, Feng Hou Zhi, and heroic tears, all of which have turned into a handful of affection......

At this time, the song is tactful, the clear sound is curling, and the guests in the audience are half-drunk and listen carefully, which makes people's hearts fly more and more ethereal. Hongli couldn't help but admire: "It's really refreshing today, the Hui tune I listened to in Anqing, and the loose song and Kun tune in the south of the Yangtze River can be called the three uniques." Compared with those wild platforms in the north, it is simply unbearable. And it's a very good word. He said casually, but scratched Yin Jishan's itch, while saying, "This is Yuan Zicai's masterpiece", while leaning back the chair to Hongli's side, he talked about the similarities and differences between the north and the south, what sound, breath, rhyme, shape, style, taste, gushing. Li Wei sat between them, neither understanding nor interested, and seeing that Hongli was listening attentively, he simply got up and said "convenient", and came out quietly. Seeing that Liao Xiangyu, the master who was waiting for him to play the manuscript, was sitting at a table next to the door eating wine, he gave a look and came out alone. Liao Xiangyu understood, nodded to everyone, followed Li Wei down the steps to the patio, and asked, "Dong Weng, is there something?" ”

"Hmm." Li Wei's figure was secretly facing away from the light, he couldn't see his face clearly, and his voice was low and dull, "Don't eat and drink." I went to the front yard and picked up my personal soldiers, and immediately started to surround Miaoxianglou, male and female thieves, and none of them could slip through the net. Oh, there's also a Changxin Building, do you know? Liao Xiangyu frowned and said: "Changxin Building and Miaoxiang Building are only separated by one road. My lord, Gan Fengchi and his group of eight people in total, said that the Dragon Boat Festival would be together, and then they would go to Shandong to compete together. Now there are only four, and Tie Luohan, Lu Siniang, Miao Empty, and Yikendao have not yet come. It's these four, and it's hard to say that it's in Miaoxiang Building now. Once alarmed, it will be difficult to meet such an opportunity again. Li Wei sighed and said: "A grandmother, I can't take care of it much, so I have to fight the grass and startle the snake, and protect the fourth master to go back safely!" ”

Liao Xiangyu was so shocked that his body trembled, and he stared at Li Wei with dead eyes without squeaking. Li Wei gritted his teeth and said: "There is a difference here, Miaoxianglou must be connected to the pot end, and one is not allowed to slip through the net." Changxinlou wants to open the net, and no one is allowed to be taken. Seeing Liao Xiangyu's dazed face as if he had fallen into a fog, Li Wei smiled and said, "You don't ask, it's better not to know if you know more, just do it!" ”

"Yes!"

"Come back!"

Li Wei beckoned and stopped him again: "When I come back from my errand, I will write a letter to Henan Tian Zhitai in my signing room, asking him to inform Li Fu Zhili and say that the fourth master will return to Beijing in secret." I am fully responsible for the safety of Jiangsu and Anhui, and I am only half responsible for the safety of the other two. The words have to be said thoroughly but not thoroughly, soft and hard. It's up to your old man's skills! ”

Watching Liao Xiangyu hurriedly go out, Li Wei turned around and returned to the lobby, his smiling face had changed, and as soon as he entered the door, he said: "The fourth master appreciates our Nanjing qu'er, and a few dramas show my face to Li Wei, and each person will be rewarded with ten taels of silver!" Come on, come on, please drink - what's good, sing a few more, everyone listen! ”

The next day, Hongli quietly set off. He pretended to be a tea merchant, Liu Tongxun dressed as a bookkeeper, hired more than a dozen mules, two sedan chairs, more than 20 porters carried tea, and the mules carried the medicine and porcelain brought by Hongli to Yongzheng and the queen, as well as Yin Jishan's birthday gift to his mother, and the Wen family's He Yanhong and Yingying servants took the sedan chair, but Hongli himself rode a horse, and the four brothers of the Xing family who pretended to be a dart walker hung a treasure knife on their waists, with a hard bow on their arms, and they were also escorted on horseback. The trail passes through Anhui by Chuxian, Dingyuan, Huaiyuan, Mengcheng, Wuyang and Maozhou, and travels all the way to Henan. The Xing brothers were not only humiliated by the empty hands, but also entrusted by Li Wei's strict words, and did not dare to slack off at all. Along the way, the shifts rested on the pack cart, and every day twelve hours a day did not leave the left and right to protect the Hongli, and walked for seven or eight days in a row, but it was safe and sound. When he arrived in Zhecheng, he had already been ordered by Tian Wenjing to wait in Luyi by the Henan Governor Yamen's personal army to rush up and escort him, and Xing Jianye fell into his heart with a stone. At this time, he was escorted by the Governor Yazhongjun, and he could no longer be subdued, so Hongli simply sat in the goose yellow crank sedan specially prepared for him. The mighty day post road, overnight post house straight to Kaifeng. After walking for another three or four days to Bianjing, Tian Wenjing had already been reported, and led the civil and military forces of Kaifeng City to meet ten miles away, and set up wine in the official pavilion to wash the dust for Hongli, and sent it into the post house next to Xiangguo Temple. First, it should be carefully arranged, and there is no need to elaborate.

"You're going too far." After breakfast on the second day, Tian Wenjing came to worship, and as soon as he sat down, Hongli said, "I walked on the Daguan Road, the Taiping World is a horse and a flat river, and with so many people, I am afraid that the thief will rob me?" When I left, I was single-handed, and I didn't provoke you magistrates again. You just listen to Li Wei's old woman's mouth like that? ”

Tian Wenjing became more and more pitifully thin, even his shoulders and backs looked a little rickety, sitting there, sometimes pressing his chest with one hand, and his lips slightly closed when he breathed, as if he was overwhelmed. He coughed dryly twice, bowed down in the chair and said, "I received a letter from Li Wei." However, the minion Yingjia acted on orders, not to listen to Li Wei's words, what he said was a joke. Crossing my Henan border, why is he still half responsible? I will not bear the responsibility of a straw on him. The fourth master should be trustworthy, and I will send you back to Beijing. Even Li Fu and I didn't call him responsible. Hongli smiled when he heard this, slowly dialed the floating tea with the lid of the bowl, and said: "The emperor of Henan has been commended repeatedly, and I am very relieved." I am concerned about two things, one is how well the new deal is doing, and the other is whether the people can live and work in peace and contentment. Tian Wenjing had already prepared a report, because he roughly explained the situation of the new policy, and said: "After the fire was returned to the public, I joined three prefects in a row, and the officialdom was shaken. The land in Henan has been fully measured, and the rich people hide their land and underpay the money and grain, and I dare to say that they don't. Starting from my governor's yamen, I fired five or six masters, and found out more than 20 pro-soldiers about lawsuits and human lives, and most of them were released, and I also asked the king to behead seven of them in Yuanmen, and all the subordinates were cleaned up in this way. Therefore, I don't dare to say that there is no lawsuit, but there are not many people who dare to defy the law with such a severe punishment. In the final analysis, the new policy is to curb corrupt officials and corrupt officials and support the people's livelihood. Fourth master, Wen Jing was greatly favored by the emperor, and he did not dare to slack off. ”

"You've lost a lot of weight." Hongli nodded and sighed, "Don't care about any gossip outside, the emperor knows you, and we know you." Tian Wenjing's heart was hot, and tears immediately welled up in his eyes, but he was a deep person, so he was confused, rubbed it with a handkerchief, and said in a hoarse voice: "Only the emperor knows best about my heart, and I repay this favor with this old bone, and I don't care what others think of me." Hongli smiled: "Why be sad about this? Although the emperor has ordered to check it, in fact, he knows it in his heart, and we are all clear! Sheji, public utensils also. The emperor must not be selfish. Someone complained, check it out, doesn't it show that you are really selfless? I know what you are saying in your heart, and I am afraid that I will compare Henan with Jiangnan and say that you are not as good as Li Wei. You don't have to have this idea at all, thinking that Li Weiyuan was the old man when the emperor was diving, and his heart is biased. His strengths and weaknesses, we don't hide or protect them, and they are the same as you. Dai Duo, you know, when he went to Fujian as an aisle, he was the earliest doorman to go out of the Lama Temple, just to borrow the treasury silver and check the accounts, and sent Heilongjiang with an edict. Li Wei's affairs are big-pictured and uninhibited, which is his strength; You are serious, it is your strength, learn from your strengths and make up for your weaknesses, and the natural politics are harmonious. ”

As the two were talking, Liu Tongxun came in with the curtain and said: "Henan political envoy Ashan Buluo, press envoy Ke Ying, and academic politician Zhang Xingren are outside, and there are also Qin sent to investigate the case, and Yu Hongtu also came to visit the prince." ”

"Call them all in." Hongli paused slightly, and smiled at Tian Wenjing again, "I have already read the excerpt you wrote about reclamation, and this matter really can't be rushed." Li Wei has not reclaimed land in the past few years, but now that everything is ready, he has made a new move to enclose the beach and create fields. If you sell it, it's worth tens of millions of taels of silver! "Because he told Li Wei about offering treasures in front of him. Seeing that Liu Tongxun had led four officials in, and they all knelt down in the courtyard courtyard, he laughed loudly: "No courtesy, come in and sit and talk!" ”

Ashanbro, Ke Ying, Zhang Xingren and Yu Hongtu rushed in, sat down diagonally on the bench by the door, and the post officials had already offered tea to them. Hongli nodded to them with a smile and said, "I just came from Jiangnan, and I am not familiar with the situation in Henan. I know that you have some troubles, this is a common thing, and the political envoys and envoys not only have to listen to the provincial government, but also have to entertain the central ministries, and they all have their own difficulties. I'm not here to tie knots, I'm here to untie them. But don't make any noise with me today, or I'll blast you out." As he said this, the awkward and tense atmosphere in the room suddenly eased a lot. Hongli smiled at Yu Hongtu again: "You are Yu Hongtu?" Okay, dare to make a long hissing in the midst of thousands of horses, you are a good man. Yu Hongtu blushed with excitement, bowed and said: "This is the fourth master's love, Hongtu doesn't dare to be." ”

"Henan and Jiangnan are incomparable. Li Wei is a long-sleeved dancer, and he is rich and good! Tian Wenjing saw that their greetings had passed, and then said in his own way: "The sand famine here is much more fierce than that in Jiangnan. The Yellow River is covered with mud and sand, the sand is heavy and the soil is light, and the same ruin, the beach left here is silted out of the fertile land there. There is no comparison between grain yields. The fourth master said that Li Wei's embankment has been closed, you might as well take a look at the hundreds of miles of rivers from Luoyang to Taikang, all of which are large stone-covered embankments, and there are special people in charge of each township and one mile. I also know that it costs money. For a hundred years, this generation in Henan has to endure more hardships, and people say that I Tian Wenjing is ruthless, and I really can't take care of it. ”

Hongli leaned back in his chair, but he couldn't speak. How many years has Yu Hongtu been in the Internal Affairs Office, seeing that Hongli went to Yuqing Palace every day to listen to lectures when he was a child, but he never had the opportunity to get close. Seeing that Hongli was still childish, his eyes had become deep and condensed, and he couldn't help but think to himself: The third master is seven years older than him, why doesn't he have this dignity?

"The fourth master of reclamation must have seen it." Tian Wenjing was overwhelmed with emotion and sighed, "Wenjing has indeed failed to govern. It should be arranged according to the twists and turns, and the places that should be reclaimed should be supervised and urged, and the places that should not be reclaimed should find ways to strengthen the soil and increase the yield. Some officials are using the reclamation to rip off the people, driving the peasants outflow, and I am also guilty of negligence...... "Hongli has already seen a few people's twists and turns, reclamation to fill in the number of acres and report to the household department, Tian Wenjing to show his political achievements, unwilling to be unwilling, urged more reclamation and more reporting is the truth, seeing Ashan Buluo moved his lips and wanted to speak, knowing that this Manchurian Hara must say unpleasant words when he opened his mouth, because he smiled and said: "For the political difficulty, this does not need to be said, and you don't blame yourself." In my opinion, what has been reclaimed is to find a way to increase the fertility of the soil and stabilize it. Some of them really could not sustain themselves, so they retreated from the wasteland and planted the existing land. When peasants from other places come back, they should be well resettled. ** Subsidize some farm tools to repair money, allocate seeds and grain, and give them no interest, if the labor is too heavy, people will be outflowed, and not only hunger. ”

Hongli knew that these people were telling each other, and their hearts were inconsistent, and he came to Henan to give repeated secret instructions for Yongzheng, and coordinate the three divisions of Henan Yamen with one virtue and one heart, and not to cause disputes. I just wanted to talk to each other privately to resolve the matter, but these words of criticism and encouragement summoned Ashanburo's courage, coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said: "The fourth master's words are really thorough. We reported on the reclamation of the famine, how much land was opened, and how many people were resettled, commended by the court and the household department, and prepared to levy additional money and grain. Over there, Sichuan, Huguang, Anhui, and Jiangnan provinces complained bitterly, suing us for beggar-thy-neighbor and flattery! As soon as his voice fell, Ke Ying immediately took advantage of the fire to add firewood: "Xinyang Luohan Ying's family, the old man is with the Holy Ancestor three times in person to Zhun Geer, a family, and the earl, leaving only the young lady and two children, a hundred acres of land, it was a good life." Okay, measure the land again, the officials and gentry are on an errand, a group of birds, turtles and miscellaneous fish come to the county, eat and live in the house, check the accounts, measure, the tenants take advantage of the fire to rob, the accounts of the debts, the anti-tenants of the anti-tenants, within half a month, the family is broken. Mrs. Luo ran away from the house with her two children, and was robbed again on the way, so she went to Jiangxi to beg for food, looking for Yang Yunpeng, the brother of General Luo, and hugged her head and cried. Yang Yunpeng was a general in Jiangxi, and gave 30,000 silver to settle their mother and son. This incident alarmed the Ministry of Rites, and even ordered the feudal division to pick up people back to Yu, but they were blocked back several times, and Mrs. Luo vowed never to return to Henan! Tian Wenjing sneered: "That's Huang Zhenguo's 'moral politics', should it be counted on my head?" Aren't you friends who cut off your head and change your life? He didn't tell you, how did the Luo family lose? Zhang Xingren was originally sitting on the wood, and he made up his mind not to ask or speak, so he couldn't help it, and said: "This matter is not over, the fourth master must know about the suicide case of Pei Xiaoyi's Pei Wang family in Dengzhou." Originally, the officials and gentry were on an errand for the officials, but the scholars were already in turmoil, and the two cases added fuel to the fire. This year's township examination is just around the corner, and some people are already planning to boycott the exam......"

"Who dares to secretly collude to strike the exam?" Tian Wenjing has been enduring it, refusing to have a seizure in front of Hongli, holding his breath with a red face, he is already breathing unevenly, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be so angry that his facial features were misplaced, and he said with a cruel smile: "This matter falls on my brother." If the leader is found to be the leader, he shall be removed immediately. If anyone dares to incite a boycott of the examination again, the Yamen will arrest him, and he will not be punished! ——That's what you guys just said, Wen Jing doesn't dare to agree, what is 'inviting merit and flattery' and what is 'crowd affection'? Some people's pain is only connected with the gentleman and doctor! Zhang Xingren blushed, sneered and said, "You still think Sven didn't sweep the floor enough?" The third master wrote several times, and Jun wanted to appease the readers, and he should not be easily practiced. Do I listen to the platform, or do I listen to the third master? Tian Wenjing said: "You are under the decree of Jun, and I am still serving the holy decree!" The old man refuses to do it, Wen Jing is not afraid of ruining his reputation, and I am afraid that I, the governor, will overstep my responsibilities and act on behalf of him. Ah Shanburo interjected coldly: "There are many things in the domain that are difficult to handle, and I can't wait for you, Wang Anshi!" ”

"You can resign from the emperor."

"The scholar is harsh on your politics, are you a competent governor?"

"You're short-sighted!"

"You're 'Tarzan'?" Ke Ying immediately sneered, "We have done everything we can to help you do against your will!" Brought all these Confucian and Mencian disciples to prison? What a great benevolent government! ”

Hongli punched the case with a "bang", Huo Di stood up, already raised his eyebrows, glanced at everyone viciously, and waved his hand helplessly, saying: "I just got off the car, very tired." You guys—get out of here. ”

"Wow-"

Several people got up, stared at each other fiercely, and each knelt down.
