Yang Tinghe knew that the establishment of the head of the household department was inevitable, and that continuing to quarrel would only cause greater suspicion between the monarch and the ministers.

Then it is better to follow the emperor's advice and set up the position, but this errand must not fall into the hands of Tang Yin or the people of the new emperor's faction, and must be undertaken by "his own people".

But after all, the head of the household department is the official of Zhengliupin Beijing, and this kind of official is also suitable for the new branch jinshi, or those who have been in Beijing for three years, and it is not easy for Yang Tinghe faction to find suitable candidates.

In fact, for Zhu Hao, this candidate is already "about to come out".

Yang Weicong.

When this candidate was proposed by Yang Tinghe in the court, because Zhu Si had heard Zhu Hao's analysis and learned that Yang Weicong was now suspected by Yang Tinghe of being an "internal ghost", and kicking him out of the Hanlin Academy was not only to make him "guilty and make meritorious contributions", but also to test whether he really betrayed Yang Tinghe's interests secretly.

Zhu Siyi was unusual, and immediately agreed.

It is to give Yang Tinghe an illusion that "he is my person, I fully believe in him", just like Yang Tinghe recommended a candidate that Zhu Si liked very much.

The appointment will be issued on the same day.

Nominally, Yang Weicong was temporarily transferred out of the Hanlin Academy as the temporary head of the household department, which did not affect his future development in the Hanlin Academy, giving people a feeling of "high promotion", only Yang Weicong himself was resentful, and after learning the order, he went to Yang Shen Theory angrily.

"Brother Repair, why me? Didn't you say that you and I in Hanyuan would work together to do things for the court? This time, he was suddenly transferred to the household department...... Wouldn't it be bad if you have no experience in the errand of the household department? ”

Yang Weicong didn't think that the errand of the household supervisor Huangzhuang was fat.

To do things for Yang Tinghe, what he wants is to develop step by step in a down-to-earth manner, not those few taels of silver, and his Yang family is not short of silver at all, he uses Yang Shen as a springboard, and the purpose of getting closer to Yang Tinghe is mainly to earn political benefits, and now Yang Tinghe is clearly using him as a gunman.

Yang Shen's tone was indifferent: "Apart from you, is there anyone else who is suitable?" ”

Yang Weicong said: "Why not? Among the fellow scholars, there are a few people who are good friends with the subordinates who have outstanding abilities, and some are even in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and have already explored some experience in governance. ”

Yang Shen shook his head: "My father can't find anyone to trust for the time being, but you are the only one who is trustworthy and believes that with your ability, you are enough to deal with this matter...... Don't let your father down, if you handle it properly, it will be of great benefit to your promotion in the Han Garden. ”

The words are very beautiful, Yang Weicong really can't find fault, this errand is indeed coveted by many people outside, no matter how you look at Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen, it doesn't seem like they are cheating themselves.

Since he defected to Yang Tinghe and his disciples, he must be psychologically prepared to sacrifice his personal interests, and he has no way to refuse when people ask him to do things.

……

……

Yang Weicong immediately took office.

New errands.

No one has done it before, there is no ready-made experience to draw on, and there is not even manpower.

The emperor will not dispatch additional manpower, Yang Ting and his father and son have already had a disagreement with him, and it seems that they will not help for the time being, Yang Weicong is equivalent to a bare-bones commander, and he will dispose of tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land as soon as he comes up.

The emperor's policy was to continue to operate, or to sell the land at the market price at the beginning of the year, but Yang Tinghe only meant to sell it.

It is equivalent to saying that Yang Weicong is a "tooth" after taking office, peddling tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land as a middleman, saying that it sounds good to be a six-grade Beijing official of the imperial court, and it is better to say that it is not as good as Yazi, at least there is an intermediary fee for people to do business, and he works for nothing.

“…… The little master, I heard that in the past few days, the new head of the household department to control the fields of Huangzhuang, went to the various merchant houses every day to inquire about the situation, as if he wanted to sell the fields to the merchants, and he also had contact with many nobles in Beijing, but most of the time they were closed......"

Su Xigui is a direct participant in this matter.

Because Zhu Hao needs Su Xigui to be the messenger, to prevent any Hui businessmen from buying land, and the well-designed plan has the risk of failure.

Of course, even if there is no Su Xigui, because the goal given by the emperor is not lower than the land price at the beginning of the year, the possibility of success in the sale is almost zero, even if the wealthy businessman will not act as a wronged leader, even if he really has the money to buy good land, he must also think about whether he can fight against the nobles with his own background.

Now that the imperial court has deprived the nobles of the qualifications to buy land at a low price and sell the land, aren't you afraid that those nobles will turn around and use the resources of the government to snatch the land?

These tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land are tantamount to hot potatoes in the eyes of people from all walks of life in Beijing, those who have money dare not buy it, and those who have no money can't afford it, in short, they are all waiting and seeing, wondering what kind of wishful thinking the court is making.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Su Dongzhu doesn't plan to buy a few acres of land to go back?" ”

Su Xigui poured tea for Zhu Hao and said with a smile: "Don't joke about the little master, even if you want to buy land, you will buy it in Suzhou and Hangzhou...... Of course, the main reason is that there are too many powerful people in the north to provoke them. ”

Su Xigui is a smart person.

Of course, to buy land is to buy it from a place far away from the emperor of the mountain, and there are not so many bad things.

In any era, as long as you have huge interests in your hands, those who have power but no money will covet it, and will try to encroach on it, and the expropriation in later generations is more in terms of commerce and trade, and the goal of coveting in this era is basically land.

In these days, where there is land, there is everything.

Su Xigui said with a smile: "It's still a little master who is far-sighted, knowing that others can't do this, but he doesn't know how to turn back...... Who will His Majesty appoint to replace that Principal Yang? ”

Zhu Hao shrugged: "Yang is diligent in the same year, why do you want to replace others?" Just wait. ”

……

……

There is no hurry.

First take Yang Weicong out and boil it a few times, let him run into walls everywhere, and let Yang Tinghe and the people of the faction know that the care of Huangzhuang's fields is not an easy job, and let Yang Tinghe take the initiative to hand over the errand.

After all, the autumn sowing season is coming soon, and the deadline for the new emperor to deal with the imperial village is getting closer and closer.

A few days after Yang Weicong contributed, he ran to Yang Shen for help.

Yang Shen listened to Yang Weicong's complaints, changed color, and scolded: "If this errand is so easy, why do you want to come?" It's just a sale of land, didn't you say before that there are many businessmen around Beijing who lack land? Why can't you sell it to them? ”

Yang Weicong said with a bitter face: "If others don't want to buy, they can't be forced to buy and sell, right?" ”

A person walked out next to Yang Shen, it was Yang Shen's younger brother Yang Dan, Yang Dan and Yang Weicong were also friends, and asked strangely: "Why don't Shangjia buy it?" These fields are all good ripe fields, and many of them have fixed tenants, and if they buy back, they will be harvested. ”

Yang Weicong sighed: "It's all about businessmen who are afraid of provoking right and wrong...... The people who were in charge of selling the land before, Nai Shou Ninghou and Jianchang Hou, now the two of them are letting out the rumors, if anyone dares to buy these lands, how many seedlings will be planted and destroyed directly, who do you say will be boring to themselves? ”

Yang Shen and Yang Dian couldn't help but glance at each other.

There is actually a smashing field?

How did you forget Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, the two living treasure brothers?

Yang said: "I didn't expect that the Zhang brothers would actually get in the way." Do you want to talk to your father and let him come forward so that the two uncles don't entangle? ”

Yang Shen shook his head: "How could my father come forward for the sake of his relatives?" This matter is still up to Dafu to settle on his own......"

"Huh?"

Yang Weicong was anxious when he heard this.

I have told you the practical difficulties I am facing, because of the damage to their own interests, the relatives of the Zhang family are threatening those who are interested in buying land, so you still let me continue to sell the land of Huangzhuang?

What do you say, let me overcome the difficulties on my own and solve your grandma's legs on my own!

How is this worked?

Let me find someone to carry a shovel and a stick to fight with the Zhang brothers? Those two are the best at this, I don't have the manpower to fight them, what the hell do you think I should do?

……

……

After Yang Weicong saw the Yang brothers in the Yang Mansion, he looked depressed.

If the matter is not resolved, the pressure on my shoulders is getting bigger and bigger, and if this thing is not done, my career may be ruined.

"Master, there is a businessman from the south who said that he wants to negotiate with you about buying land......" Yang Weicong had just gotten into the carriage here, and the servant next to him told him good news.

Yang Weicong's eyes lit up: "Where is it?" ”

As a scholar, he used to pay attention to all the articles of sages, but now he has to run around for the sale of land, and everything he talks about is the copper smell that literati disdain, and Yang Weicong is extremely depressed.

But in order to get things done, small sacrifices are inevitable.

The servant pointed out the location, and he hurriedly led someone to meet him, and soon saw Su Xigui.

"Your Excellency?"

Yang Weicong looked at Su Xigui, the person in front of him was dressed plainly, not like the kind of rich man with deep pockets.

Su Xigui reported to his home.

When Yang Weicong learned that the other party was a Yangzhou salt merchant, who had a relationship with Huang Zhan, the head of Nanjing's household department, and had many contacts with Hui merchants, he suddenly felt like he could see the moon.

Yang Weicong said: "Su Dangjia, please sit down, I don't know how much land you intend to buy?" Well, the ripe fields around Jingshi, one mu is six taels of silver without bargaining, and the copper coins are exchanged for five and two, and there are contiguous fields......"

When Su Xigui heard this, this kid didn't know how to do business at all.

If you are in such a hurry to show your hole cards, no wonder you can't sell an acre of land.

Nerds do business with people, blindly pay attention to sincerity, and they don't have any city government, let alone know how to do business negotiations.

Su Xigui sighed: "I am here to negotiate for Hui merchants, and you can buy as much land as you want, but it's just ...... I heard that the Jingshi Xunguizhong, headed by the Marquis of Shouning and the Marquis of Jianchang, released a rumor, saying that whoever dares to buy the fields of Huangzhuang will let the crops in the fields not grow for a few years, which is not easy to do. ”

Yang Weicong frowned when he heard this, thinking to himself, where did he hear about this thing?

Immediately, he pretended to be Hu Tu and said: "Hearsay, the new emperor ascends the throne, and all kinds of waste are prosperous, even if it is a relative of the emperor, he does not dare to mess around." ”

Su Xigui said: "That's what I said, but if there is anything wrong...... I can't find any other way, do you think you can give me and other businessmen a reassurance? ”
