The prefect Yamen sent people, with more than 300 hired local laborers and craftsmen, to open the mine.

After the team left the city, it attracted the attention of the local gentry, and then a shocking news reached Yue Ting'an's ears.

This time, the person who came to send a message to Yue Ting'an was Liu Cheng, the next generation successor of the Liu family, and the two were actually about the same age, but Liu Cheng still had the older generation in charge, and Yue Ting'an was already the head of the family.

"That new prefect is really bold, and he actually led people to smash the Jinyi Guard's field...... Just open a mine next to Jinyiwei's mine...... What does he think?"

Yue Ting'an's face was full of incredulity.

used to despise Zhu Hao, but now he found that the new prefect was even more rigid than he imagined, and the tiger's beard was still blatant.

Even if you want to squint, do you have to wait for the tiger to squint? So direct and hard, aren't you afraid of death? Isn't it easy for Jinyiwei to find you a prefect in trouble?

Liu Cheng said, "I think that Jin Yiwei doesn't dare to do anything to this new prefect...... When Jinyiwei first came to Yongping Mansion to open a mine, the local prefect Yamen still looked for someone to make trouble, but the result was not calm, and finally forced the imperial court to change the prefect?"

"It's different."

Yue Ting'an shook his head and said, "At that time, when today's son had no power in his hands and was slaughtered by others, if you look at it now, I don't know how many people in the court have secretly defected to the emperor, as long as Jinyiwei really wants to take revenge, he can take down a prefect casually!" Let's stay away from him."

Liu Cheng hurriedly said, "But if the prefect's yamen really opens up the mine, then our losses will be great!"

Yue Ting'an glared at Liu Cheng: "Now that the two tigers in the DPRK and China are fighting, you are a flat-headed people, and you still want to break ground on Tai Sui's head? Whether it's the new emperor or Yang Zhongtang, which side can you afford to offend? At least we'll have to wait for them to come up with a result, or we'll have a lot of trouble!"

Liu Cheng smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid it's too late...... Jinyiwei is in power, we have no benefit at all, we have to stand on the side of the prefect's yamen. If Your Majesty comes to a new prefect, will we still have a good life for these big local families?"

Yue Ting'an said: "Then you can't join forces with the new prefect now, I don't believe that those imperial historians don't come to the table to impeach him!" If someone asks, they will say that the government is mining on its own, and we have not lent it a name."

Liu Cheng said, "That means we don't help each other?"

"Hmm."

Yue Ting'an nodded, "Don't stand anywhere, and let them eat dogs in the end!"

……

……

The purpose of Yang Tinghe sending Zhu Hao to Yongping Mansion was to unite with the local gentry to deal with Jinyiwei's mining behavior.

But the local gentry of Yongping Mansion didn't want to cause trouble, mainly because they were scared of Zhang Xuan before.

After Zhang Xuan arrived at Yongping Mansion, he knew that he couldn't count on the support of the imperial court, because of the Great Rites Discussion, he had already been included in the blacklist of the promotion of the officials, and if he wanted to get ahead, he had to do things further, so after Zhang Xuan became the prefect, he took the support of the local gentry and took the local gentry to make trouble, and let the officials of the government make trouble if they had nothing to do, so that the local gentry re-measured the acres of land, apportioned exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and then suppressed the purchase and sales channels of the shop.

Even, some officials and gentry were taken down by the prefect's yamen and brought to justice by the prefect because of some trivial matters, which was embarrassing.

After a set of combination punches, the gentry completely lost his temper, and the people who went to the mine to make trouble before stopped.

Now that Zhu Hao is here, the local gentry and the people can see that these officials can't afford to mess with them, so even if they see the income from the mining of Jinyiwei, they don't dare to mix it at will.

The prefect's yamen opened the mine in full swing.

Jinyiwei's mine is open in a place called Harrier Mountain, south of Harrier Mountain, is Jinyiwei's iron ore mine, this time the prefect's yamen directly opened a mine in the west of Harrier Mountain, more than 300 people have no experience at all, and directly take the guy to "plan" the land.

The news soon spread to the capital.

Yu Chengxun learned about the situation in the Hanlin Academy, so he went to find Yang Shen, but it took more than a day to see Yang Shen himself.

enter

In early summer, Yu Chengxun rarely saw Yang Shen.

Yang Shen, the attendant of the Hanlin Academy, basically doesn't go to the Hanlin Academy now, and Yu Chengxun doesn't know what Yang Shen is busy with outside now.

「…… With Xiu, have you been busy lately? It doesn't look good with your complexion." After Yu Chengxun met, he first expressed concern for his brother-in-law's health.

Yang Shen sighed, "It's not because of Mao Butang's illness...... Recently, he has been in a bad situation, I'm afraid it's ...... It's not a few days......

Yang Shen said "Mao Butang", is the resignation of the Ministry of Shangshu more than a month Mao Cheng, Mao Cheng resigned due to illness, originally to return to his hometown to recuperate, but the condition continued to deteriorate and did not go through, has been staying in Beijing to recuperate, who knows that now it is about to reach the end of the situation.

In history, Mao Cheng died of illness in the leap April of the second year of Jiajing.

Yu Chengxun said, "That...... Can you ask a famous doctor for a consultation?"

Yang Shen shook his head: "From the imperial doctor to the famous doctors in the local area, they have all seen it, and the medicine stone has no spirit...... With the meaning of Mao Lao's department, even if he dies, he must return to his hometown, and he doesn't want to wander in a foreign land to be a lonely ghost, so he has to return to his roots, and the court has arranged for a boat to send him back to his hometown."

"This ...... Why bother?"

Yu Chengxun shook his head with a wry smile.

Mao Cheng, as a key figure in the Great Rites Discussion, stabilized the situation in the court in the early years of Jiajing, and the emperor's efforts for the number of sacrifices to the emperor did not end well in him, everything was because Mao Cheng adhered to the bottom line and did not let the emperor make a further fuss about the Great Rites.

After Zhu Si ascended the throne, he was quite jealous of Mao Cheng.

Now that Mao Cheng has retired, in fact, for Zhu Si, there is one less strong opponent in the court, if it weren't for Zhu Hao being a prefect in other places recently, it is estimated that Zhu Si would have discussed with Zhu Hao to launch a big ceremony again and attack the courtiers.

"By the way, Yongxiu, I just received news from Yongping Mansion that Jingdao sent someone to open a mine, right next to the mine opened by Jinyiwei. Actually adjacent to the mining ...... I think it's to anger the Jinyi Guard and make the other party hurt people."

Yu Chengxun couldn't help laughing when he said this.

It's a very coke thing.

Originally, it was very difficult to let Zhu Hao go to Yongping Mansion to destroy Jinyiwei to open a mine, and everyone felt that Zhu Hao would have to shed his skin if he didn't die.

But now Zhu Hao did the opposite, not taking the initiative to go to Jinyiwei's mine to make trouble, but opening a new mine next to the mine, forcing Jinyiwei to do sabotage...... If Jin Yiwei really made a move, the nature would be completely different.

Jinyiwei competed with the local people for profit, sent people to disrupt local order, did evil, and disregarded people's lives......

There is no need to deliberately arrange the rhetoric of various impeachments, and there are a large number of ready-made charges on them.

The official performance is just such a template, and everything can be put into it.

Yang Shen was in a good mood when he heard this, and said with a smile: "I'll just say, it is impossible to act without a purpose, he must have a purpose in opening a mine, I only thought that he wanted to give Jinyiwei a notoriety of competing with the people, but he never thought about it...... That's a good trick."

Yu Chengxun said, "I'm afraid that Jinyiwei won't give in."

Yang Shen said with a smile: "Since Jingdao is planning to take this step, he has already done a good job of considering it all, Jinyiwei can open an iron mine, so why can't Jingdao?" As long as iron is produced here, the Jinyi Guards will definitely not sit idly by, and if they dare to be detrimental to Jingdao, then there is something to say."

Yu Chengxun asked, "Do you want to remind Jingdao and let him be careful, Jin Yiwei's work may not be put on the surface, if it is secretly harmful......

Yang Shen said: "Now that Jinyiwei hasn't made a move, I'm afraid Jingdao will be in a hurry, you and I should know that only Jinyiwei will fall into the handle!" As for Jing Dao, he should not be in danger, the prefect's yamen is not an ordinary place, and it should be more than enough for self-protection."

"Hmm."

Yu Chengxun actually didn't quite accept Yang Shen's statement.

This means that letting Zhu Hao do something that harms the interests of Jinyiwei and forcing Jinyiwei to take action against Zhu Hao, Yang Shenming knows that Zhu Hao is in danger but does not remind him, which is tantamount to using Zhu Hao as bait.

When someone does something for you, not only does that person act as a gunman, but is also prepared to sacrifice others to achieve your career? Is it necessary to do this?

Divide?

"I want to inform my father about this, but my father doesn't care about Zhu Hao's way of doing things, all he wants is a result. It seems that Jingdao has begun to walk on the right path as the prefect of Yongping Mansion!"

Yang Shen suddenly thought of something, and said indignantly, "You go to talk to Yongxu, explain the matter, and ask him how he feels!" Yong Shu has been acting too radically lately, and he has not listened to any persuasion, and if I hadn't stopped him in time, he might have to go to Jingdao for trouble, and maybe it would have been a big deal!"

Yu Chengxun sighed: "Yongxu has just been admitted to the Jinshi, and he has no experience in doing things, so it would be good to mention it more."

Yang Shen sneered, "Can he listen? Teach him with practical examples, and if he doesn't accept it, let him come to me! You haven't had anything else to do lately, so you don't see me much, father...... It won't last long!"

Yang Shen still revealed one thing to his brother-in-law, that is, Yang Tinghe knew that his time in the court was short, and he was also arranging things after leaving the court recently.

This is tantamount to explaining to Yu Chengxun why he has been so busy recently.

is to help Yang Tinghe run everything behind the scenes.

……

……

Yongping Mansion, prefect's yamen.

Jiang Shantong and Mu Dazhi came over this day to report to Zhu Hao again on the progress of mining.

「…… By the end of five days, the ground had leveled, all the trees on the hill had been cut down, and the trees were used to build houses, and two or three wooden houses had been built. Digging three feet into the ground, iron ore was found in some places, but it was a little difficult to make iron, and the tools were insufficient, and the three thousand taels of silver that had been allocated before...... There is not much left ......."

Jiang Shantong and Mu Dazhi came to Zhu Hao mainly for one purpose.

Reach out and ask for money.

3,000 taels, and more than 300 people were dragged to the mine to work for five days, and then they said that they had no money.

It's a bit expensive.

In fact, anyone with a discerning eye knows that even if the number 300 people are in charge of food and housing, how much can they spend in five days? Most of them must have been detained.

At this time, Zhu Hao was behind the screen, and his coughing could be heard from time to time.

"If it's not enough, add more points, and allocate another two thousand taels...... Ahem...... Save a little flower, and the official is not a silver mine...... Ahem...... Go say hi to the big local players and see if they're willing to go together! Mining is really a lot of money."

Zhu Hao didn't seem to be as generous as before, and he seemed to feel that he had been wronged.
