Zhu Hao's statement seems to benefit the people, but in fact, it is to mobilize private capital to open mines.

Relying on the imperial court alone, relying on the brocade guard, how many mines can be opened in total?

If there is such an entanglement of interests in Yongping Mansion in every place, how will the interests of mining be balanced in the future? When there is an incident in the locality, the official will continue to give direct advice to the emperor to stop mining......

This is actually the disadvantage of mining in the Wanli period.

Zhu Hao's meaning is to use private capital to open mines, which can be led by the imperial court at the beginning, but in the middle and later periods, the imperial court is only responsible for collecting mining taxes.

Of course, this is only an idealized state, and various problems will be encountered in actual operation, just because of the unequal power of the government and the people in this era, there will be such and such problems, relying on supervision...... It is likely that there will be a situation where you are both a player and a referee.

Mu Dazhi was stunned for a while.

Lou Suzhen said, "Mu Tuiguan, you should have heard what your lord said, right? Next, the lord means that you will be in charge of the mining affairs, and the lord will ask the imperial court for a decree, so that you will have the opportunity to be the governor of the local government......

"Huh?"

Mu Dazhi was taken aback.

And this kind of good thing?

remembered that he had expressed his position in front of Zhu Hao with Jiang Shan before, saying that he would follow Zhu Hao in the future, but now Zhu Hao seems to be serious and really wants to help him operate his official position.

But the question is...... Zhu Hao is just a prefect, and he has the power to decide who will be the governor of Yongping Mansion?

Lou Suzhen continued: "Your Excellency values your talent very much, and wants you to have the opportunity to continue to serve the imperial court, but you also have to show something, and the specific contact of the local mining will be left to you!" Of course, you have to make sure that what you see and hear today will not be said to outsiders."

"Mr. Nami, why don't you ......?"

What Mu Dazhi means, the little prefect just has your Mr. Mi, why do you let me be in charge of contact?

Lou Suzhen smiled, "Have you forgotten that your Excellency is about to step down from the local prefect and return to Beijing to take up a new post?"

"Yes, yes, look at the humble brain, how can you forget this stubble? Then the lord will go back to the ......."

Mu Dazhi looked at Zhu Hao again.

Zhu Hao said: "This official returns to the dynasty to take any official position, you don't need to worry, as long as you know that the local mining matter will be handed over to you for a long time."

"That...... The relationship is good, but I don't know how bad you are ......in Jinyiwei."

Mu Dazhi said that he was not confident and had too many concerns.

In fact, he hasn't figured out the situation until now, he only knows that Jinyiwei's people came to visit Zhu Hao, which means that Zhu Hao and Jinyiwei are in the same group.

But who dares to guarantee that Jinyiwei will not be in the evening, and today he said that he would hand over the mining to the local government, and he turned around and copied the mine, right?

Lou Suzhen said with a straight face: "Looking at Mu Tuiguan's push, it seems that he doesn't want to take this errand? If you don't want to, there will be a lot of people waiting outside, but you can't be sure of your future in the future."

Mu Dazhi knew that it was time to make a statement.

Either listen to Zhu Hao, or maybe you will soar, if you don't listen...... There may or may not be a big event, in short, I will have a hard time in the future.

"The lower officials must obey the prefect, as well as the Jinyi Guard, and Mr. Mi's dispatch, if you have any orders, just say, even if the lower officials go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire, they will definitely be able to do it!" Mu Dazhi beat his chest as he spoke, and he almost poured out his heart and lungs to show a few people in front of him.

……

……

Mu Dazhi followed Lou Suzhen out again.

It should be the part that Lou Suzhen is responsible for, and it will not change, Mu Dazhi only acts as a mouthpiece for the government and the local gentry, saying that it is very important, but in fact, it is okay with him or not.

Zhu Hao just avoided Lou Suzhen from showing up too much in front of people, after all, many things can not be solved satisfactorily by just seeing a Mrs. Qiao, once Lou Suzhen personally presides over too many affairs, it may not only expose her true identity, but also make people doubt Zhu Hao's role in the mining matter, after all, "Mr. Mi" is Zhu Hao's person.

But it was from Mu Dazhi

face, this concern will be diluted.

"Mr. Zhu, that official surnamed Mu is corrupt and perverts the law, he is not an honest person, the silver withheld from your hand alone is more than 1,000 taels, this kind of person cannot be trusted."

Lu Song deliberately reminded Zhu Hao.

But in fact, where do you use him to say these words?

Luo An glanced at Lu Song, turned around and said, "Mr. actually has no intention of using him, he just wants to stabilize this person temporarily, or find someone to come forward temporarily, right?"

Zhu Hao smiled: "Whether you use him or not, it depends on whether he can do things, if he really knows how to do things, even if he is greedy, as long as it is not too excessive, he can also use it." Officialdom has been like this since ancient times, how can anyone be completely incorruptible? Clean officials are in the name of the government, and corrupt officials are for profit, and each has what he wants."

Luo An asked, "What about ...... Or do you want to use him?"

"Of course not."

Zhu Hao shook his head categorically, "He is greedy for money from me, unrestrained, belongs to the type of insatiable greed, and his ability to do things is so-so, he is an old oilman in officialdom. How can I use such a person?"

Luo An couldn't stand Zhu Hao's way of speaking and panting.

Since you don't need people, why did you talk so much nonsense before?

Want to tell us about your way of employing people?

It's speechless!

But who made Zhu Hao powerful, and now the emperor is extremely trusting and has weight in his words?

"Let's get rid of the aftermath here, and we'll go back to the capital." Zhu Hao said, "But Luo Zhen's envoy, please go to the prefect's yamen cell and see someone, so that person will be completely dead."

……

……

The person Zhu Hao asked Luo An to meet was Yue Ting'an.

Although Yue Tingan knew that he was being used by Jinyiwei, he was still hoping that Jinyiwei's people could come to save him, or save the Yue family in danger.

How to say that the Yue family is also wealthy, as far as he knows, now the Yue family is running outside, trying to dredge up the officials who speak in the court, and exonerate the Yue family, whether it is useful or not I don't know for the time being, but the white flowers and silver are spent.

You can't afford to spend all your money in vain, right?

We are not the kind of small traders and peddlers, the kind who have no way, we do know the powerful people of the DPRK and China!

Can't all the powerful take money and don't do anything, right?

When Luo An, accompanied by the jailer, arrived at the cell, Yue Ting'an was stunned for a moment when he heard the footsteps, and when he recognized the face of the person who came, he immediately rushed to the cell door excitedly, put the iron fence and said, "My lord, you are here!" It's so hard to wait!"

"Open the cell door, I have a few words to say to him." Luo Andao.

Then the jailer opened the cell door, but did not let Yue Ting'an come out.

The jailer then brought a chair for Luo An so that Luo An could sit down, and then the Jinyi guards controlled the position of the corner of the cell, so that the jailer could not approach and could not hear what they were saying.

Seeing this scene, Yue Ting'an suddenly became nervous for no reason.

It doesn't seem like the other party is here to save people.

He suddenly figured out now, if this Luo Zhenfu envoy had the heart to rescue him, he could just say hello to the prefect's yamen, why did he have to come in person?

Since he came, it is likely that he is going to shut his mouth, and now that he is still keeping the jailer out, he will not take out the bottle containing the poison, or give him a piece of rope, so that he can go to the king of Yama sooner, right?

Luo An didn't speak, Yue Tingan swallowed his saliva, and didn't dare to speak first.

After a while, Luo An said: "Regarding your collusion with Jinyiwei, admit it as soon as possible, so that you can avoid a lot of suffering, and your family's business can basically be preserved."

"Huh?"

When Yue Ting'an heard it, what the other party said must be the opposite.

Yue Ting'an knelt down with a "poof", kowtowed, and said, "My lord, your boss is merciful, but the contemptible person didn't say anything, even if he was put on his neck with a knife, he didn't dare to mention the word Jinyiwei."

Luo An said: "Since I asked you to do it, you can just confess directly, why hide it? Now even the courtiers know that this matter was secretly instructed by Jinyiwei, you

Why are you still obsessed?"

I rub.

Yue Ting'an's brain was running fast, if he talked too much, his thinking would be confused, and the people of Jinyiwei wouldn't really want to kill themselves righteously, right?

Luo An then said: "Let's put it this way, Jin Yiwei is going to cooperate with the local government to open the mine, and the local prefect, Zhu Zhifu, who is about to return to the dynasty to take up his new post, will expand the scale of the mine together. By the way, mobilize large local households, contribute money and efforts, and seek common development. But your Yue's family can't be involved."

"This ...... Why is that?"

Yue Ting'an was stunned when he heard this.

Aren't Jinyiwei and the local government incompatible?

How can it be said that reconciliation is reconciliation now?

But the problem is, I just helped Jinyiwei make trouble with the mine controlled by the local government, and you reconciled in a blink of an eye, so where do you put me?

"Why are you asking?"

Luo An sat there, his body straight, his tone calm, "You want to ask why Jin Yiwei wants to cooperate with Zhu Zhifu to open a mine? This question is actually very easy to answer, because the father-in-law of the Zhu Governor's Mansion is the secretary of my Ming Dynasty, and the Zhu Governor's Mansion is rich and well-known among the local gentry, so only by cooperating with him can we achieve the best results."

"As for why your Yue family can't get involved, because now Jinyiwei also needs to find someone to come out and carry the black pot, our Jinyiwei asked your Yue's family to make trouble, but we didn't let you set fire to commit murder, or even cause death...... Any bad outcome will be borne by your Yue family."

At this time, Yue Ting'an completely understood.

After the people used him, they treated him as an outcast, and he was stupid enough to wait for the brocade guard to come to the rescue.

Yue Ting'an said angrily, "Isn't Jinyiwei not following the rules at all? It's you...... It's what you, Lord Luo, told us to do, and now that something happens, you will deny it?"

"You're wrong."

Luo An was still calm, "Jin Yiwei did not deny the connection with the local family, and did not deny that he instructed you to go to the mine to make trouble, otherwise His Majesty would not have ordered a special official to investigate. Now it's just a matter of making the blame clear, the initiator, yes, it's me, but it's you who executes it. If something happens, it's not you who is responsible, who is it?"

Yue Ting'an was almost entangled in this strange logic, don't blame the mastermind for the accident, blame the executor?

Then he figured it out again.

Listen to Jinyiwei's instructions, the credit for success is not in yourself, and the fault for failure must be borne by yourself.

Who made the Jinyi guard of the family himself work for the emperor, what responsibility does the person need to bear?
