Fei Hong is the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, in a sense, the situation is not good.

It's just that Fei Hong is a native of Xuanfu and a Jinshi of Beibang. This Beibang Jinshi is in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River, and everyone looks at you with a lower eye.

Officials attach the most importance to their background, and the reason why the Jinshi in the North List is despised is mainly because the North List is really a little bit unsuccessful, and even the people in the South List are afraid that the grade is higher than that of the Jinshi in the North List.

Of course, Xu Qian is also from the North List Jinshi, the reason why he was not discriminated against is because he passed the palace test and won the champion, this champion can not be divided into the north and south lists, you can beat the crowd, indicating that your level is the highest.

Fei Hong's officialdom was unsatisfactory, and when he arrived in Nanjing, he was discriminated against, and the name of the Ministry of Rites looked good, but he knew that Fei Hong could clearly feel that many people looked at him strangely.

It's not that others can't get used to the Jinshi of the North Bang, but you are a Jinshi of the North Bang, and you can also serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and others can't help but think, what path you must have taken, what relationship you used, or which elder you stammered.

There are a lot of cold words that have been poked in the backbone.

Fei Hong was naturally not angry in his heart, plus other officials got together, begged Wang Xue every day, threw him aside, and didn't play with him, Fei Hong's psychology was naturally distorted.

Originally, he was still a little enthusiastic about Wang Xue, but now, it is the first naked hatred, especially when he sees those officials whispering and laughing in groups, it is like a thorn, and his heart is bleeding.

He squinted, looked at the letter sent by Ying Tianfu Yin, smiled slightly, and then called a few hall officials, coughed: "Go and inquire." This Wang Shangshu and Xu Futai chose that day to sacrifice Kong. ”

The magistrate replied, "There have been rumors in the market for a long time, saying that they will go the day after tomorrow. ”

When Fei Hong heard this, he came to the spirit: "The secretary of the military department and the governor of Zhejiang will go together, and we will not be able to join in the excitement of the Nanjing Rite Department, at that time, the old man will also go, and the Ministry of Rites will prepare the sacrifice as soon as possible, as well as the ceremony." ”

Several officials looked at each other. I said in my heart, people are the protagonists, let's go to the Ministry of Rites to join in this fun, is it to fight for merit? But this thing, what is there to fight for? But after all, the Ministry of Rites is in charge of this, and the matter of sacrifice is also one of the affairs of the Ministry of Rites, and now that Lord Shangshu has spoken, everyone has nothing to say, but someone asked: "I don't know what name to sacrifice?" ”

Fei Hong said lightly: "At present, the country and the people are safe, and we should sacrifice to the sages." Comfort the saints. ”

The Ministry of Rites suddenly wants to join in the fun, but it seems that there is no need for a reason to join in the fun, since Lord Shangshu has to make a kick, he naturally has to go out next. Let the officials of various provinces set off and come to Nanjing to make sacrifices.

In the blink of an eye, the theme of Nanjing seems to change from the liquidation of official grain. All of a sudden, it became a sacrifice.

And this step is just an appetizer. Facts have proved that although they belong to the officials who were kicked away in the Beijing Division, they still have a lot of combat effectiveness, they are frustrated, it does not mean that they are incompetent, they are ignored, it does not mean that they are stupid, these people are indeed not stupid, nor incompetent, at least Zhu Mao, not incompetent, at the same time that the Ministry of Rites intends to join in the fun, he is not only overjoyed, but at the same time, he also quietly spread the news to people.

The news is carried by some big households in Nanjing, these people are either rich or expensive, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps, more importantly, these people often not only grow grain, but also grow mulberry and cotton, for them, the new deal does not do them much good, without the new deal, they can conceal the land, even if it is cotton mulberry, they do not have to charge heavy taxes, but if once the new deal, their life may not be better, at least the heavy tax on cotton mulberry can not be avoided. Although it is said that the Zhejiang New Deal spent a lot of money to build waterways and roads, so that silk and cotton could be transported away at any time, compared with heavy taxes, these people obviously prefer to hide their land and grow their own cotton mulberry without worrying about high taxes.

This kind of big households, often very well-connected, some even entrenched in Nanjing for hundreds of years, and even a few vassal kings, also have a Wang Zhuang here, they like the new deal, because the new deal, so that their cotton mulberry has a market, but this does not mean that they hope that the new deal in Nanzhili, because the new deal is not good for them.

These people are also Zhu Mao's strong supporters, and Zhu Mao plans to use these people to make a little noise during the sacrifice.

Not only do you want to embarrass yourself, but he also plans to embarrass you a little. Of course, Zhu Mao knew that if he could really create a little embarrassment, he would soon be valued by some big figures in the Beijing Division, and it was even very likely that he would be transferred to the DPRK at any time.

Although you are the Yin of Yingtianfu Mansion, but this is not the center of power after all, Zhu Mao has long been tired of this, he is tired of Jinling's ten miles of Qinhuai, tired of the decadent Tang here, tired of the students here who talk at every turn, and hates everyone here.

After a qiē was finalized, Zhu Mao took a deep breath and felt a sense of comfort that he had never felt before.

And at this moment, a letter increased his confidence.

This letter, from Zhejiang, actually came from the Yamen, the governor of Zhejiang.

After reading the letter, Zhu Mao was stunned, what did this Governor Fang want to do?

I have long heard that Governor Fang is a disciple of Wang Yangming, and now, this person is Governor Wang Xue, but why did he write this letter?

The content of the letter is simple, just to tell Zhu Mao that Wang Shouren has been in poor health recently, his health is not good, he has been unable to see things, and he has suffered from old illnesses and diseases.

On the top, the governor's seal was also stamped.

As soon as the news came out, Fang Xianfu came to write a letter, it stands to reason that Fang Xianfu is Zhu Mao's boss, and Zhu Mao despises this boss in his heart, because he is a Wang Xuemen and the leader of the New Deal.

But after receiving this letter, it is not the same at all, isn't it...... This is Fang Xianfu's deliberate attempt to test himself, or it is simply the conspiracy of the kid surnamed Xu.

After thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is not right, in fact, in the Jiangnan area recently, there is a rumor, saying that although Fang Xianfu is the governor of Zhejiang, but in the affairs of Zhejiang, he does not interfere at all, and even one person cannot be called, that is, the political envoy of Zhejiang, and he also adopts an indifferent attitude, and he does not take him in his eyes at all.

There may be something else going on here......

Zhu Mao narrowed his eyes, feeling more and more suspicious, could it be that this Governor Fang, who also wants to plant a heel surnamed Xu, has always been this governor and governor, just like the prefect and the same as the same as the Zhi, the more your rights, the less his rights, if you talk a little, no one will pay attention to what he says, how can ordinary people understand the joints here.

The letter also mentioned one thing, saying that there was a doctor surnamed Wu in Nanjing, who had been treating Wang Shouren, and if Zhu Mao was free, he could go and pay a visit to this doctor Wu.

Zhu Mao pondered for a moment, and a smile rose on the corner of his mouth, this Governor Fang really has a little meaning.

He had roughly understood that Governor Fang was indeed dissatisfied, and this dissatisfaction was increasing day by day in the process of Xu Qian's return to Beijing.

If you say other times, it's okay, after all, your surname is Xu, you are in Zhejiang, as the governor, you can't intervene, but it is understandable. But when you go back to Beijing, the governor still can't intervene, what is this?

People want to face trees and bark, and Governor Fang also wants to run a new deal, so as to get a piece of the new deal, but the people of the new deal stay away from him, and the lord in the capital is indifferent to him, to put it mildly, it is not the harm of the surname Xu.

In this world, the surname Xu can trust the political envoy, you can trust the promotion of education and punishment, and you can even trust the prefect and the county magistrate below, but you can't rest assured that he is the governor of Fang, this is the rule of officialdom, because you are the governor, give the power to the political envoy, Xu Qian is still the most important figure in Zhejiang Province, but it is handed over to the governor of Fang, maybe after coming back in a few months, everything will be wrong.

Zhu Mao pondered for a moment, and then called someone: "Come immediately, go find a doctor named Wu Minzhong, be quick!" ”

Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

Although the governor did not return to take up his post, everything here was in good order, and under the leadership of Zhao Ming, the promotion of the new policies in various prefectures and counties in Zhejiang was not bad.

In fact, the officials in Zhejiang have long been accustomed to the new deal, and they have benefited from the new deal and gained hope, so naturally, they have promoted the new deal with sincerity and sincerity, and they dare not slack off in the slightest.

Under this situation of unity, all the decrees are unimpeded, and most of the river projects have been completed, except for a few remote prefectures and counties, and the business travelers are weaving, and on this intricate river, they are running back and forth with goods.

And a large number of displaced people and tenants in the countryside, also began to pour into the county seat on a large scale, between the counties, in order to strive for a few more workshops, occasionally there will be some friction, after all, this time is different from the past, the county commanders have tasted the sweetness, they only found that the original workshop of silver, is so easy to earn, come to a workshop, casually let their brother-in-law go into the point of shares, the annual dividends are a lot, and this kind of unspoken rule has long been popular throughout Zhejiang, this kind of thing, everyone tacitly, not to mention, this new type of profit-making method, Not only do you not worry about the impeachment of the imperial envoy, but you can also increase your political achievements, the so-called killing two birds with one stone, so how to attract more workshops, how to attract businessmen to gather, has become a difficult problem for all officials to rack their brains.
