Chapter 432: Pavilion Elders and Craftsmen
In Wenyuan Pavilion, a distribution of power happened quietly as calmly as early spring.
Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin, and Gao Yangzhi, the subtext hidden under just a few words, tacitly and peacefully divided the power in Wenyuan Pavilion.
As the first person to receive the emperor's dictation, lead the Wenyuan Pavilion, and supervise the new policy, Ren Hengtai was indisputably more than Xie Jin, who entered the Wenyuan Pavilion first, and began his experience as the general leader of the Wenyuan Pavilion and the Imperial Pavilion of the General Consulate.
And Xie Jin, as the person who has been on duty in Wenyuan Pavilion and acting for the government and political chapters, is also the second person in Wenyuan Pavilion after Ren Hengtai as a scholar of Wenhua Hall and a bachelor of Hanlin Academy.
As for Gao Yangzhi, the youngest feudal official in the empire, because of his officialdom qualifications, he could naturally only sit on a round bench.
On the couch, in front of the piles of concertos.
Xie Jin played the role of distributing state tasks, and the most important matters, such as the changes in the Tiancheng court today, and the northern expedition to the frontier that had already begun, were all sent to Ren Hengtai in advance.
As for the affairs of the fourteen divisions and yamen of the Ming Dynasty, they were left at hand by Xie Jin, and the next Tianxia Prefecture and county affairs would be sent to Gao Yangzhi's hands.
Gao Yangzhi was a little uncomfortable, looking at the local prefecture and county that was ten times that of Jiaozhi Road, and felt a little uneasy in his heart.
He entered Beijing yesterday, and before he received the decree in Beijing, he was already in this Wenyuan Pavilion to vote for the matter presented by the officials of the world, which really made him a little scared.
Even if the palace must have been explained, it does not conform to the rules of the court.
"The county order of Huanxian County, Qingyang Prefecture, asked the imperial court to allocate cotton, cloth and other materials for the use of border people and border guards in the winter of this year. I don't know how the court should respond to such an invitation? ”
Gao Yangzhi picked up the first piece of music, looked at it from the beginning to the end, thought about it for a few times, and finally chose to ask.
Xie Jin was lowering his head at the moment to review the ticket to annotate the piece he was holding, and when he heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile slightly, and then he retracted and looked up at Ren Hengtai opposite.
Ren Hengtai was reviewing the plan sent by the Ministry of Officials to fill the vacancy of the imperial court, and when he heard the inquiry, he noticed the gaze, and he also put down his pen and raised his head.
He reviewed it for a moment, frowned and said, "Where did the border people and border troops come from in Qingyang Mansion?" To the north is the Ningxia Guard, Yulin Wei Gongwei guards the north gate of Shaanxi Road, and the Anbian Office under the rule is also allocated grain and grass materials by the Yamen of the Shaanxi Xingdu Division. Where did they come from! ”
Ren Hengtai, who entered the Wenyuan Pavilion on the first day, unconsciously and vaguely, already had the majesty of the imperial civil official.
Gao Yangzhi was still thinking about Ren Hengtai's points and what could be regarded as a teaching in officialdom.
Xie Jin looked at Bai Yuxiu on the side with a smile: "Take the music that Shaanxi Dao has recently invited to him." ”
Ren Hengtai continued to mention: "It is not easy in the court, and the local government will never consider it. The imperial court needs to take care of the prefectures and counties of the fourteen provinces of the entire world, but the local government only needs to take care of the governance. If they can ask for more points from the imperial court, they will be able to live a better life and be more able to make political achievements. At this time, the imperial court must have a clear eye, to know the same local roots, and they can't be fooled by them together. ”
This is a matter of experience.
Holding the arch hand high, it is counted as having all been written down.
At this time, Bai Yuxiu had already taken all kinds of recitals from Shaanxi Dao from the past year to the present from the eucalyptus frame on the side and sent them to Gao Yangzhi.
He even carefully separated several pieces of Qingyang Mansion and surrounding prefectures and counties.
Gao Yangzhi took the concerto, and after reading a few copies, his face was a little unsightly.
"Qingyang Mansion is the same from top to bottom? March 1st, please, what is this going to do? ”
Xie Jin chuckled: "Without him, it's okay to complain." Regardless of whether they are bitter or not, they must always let the court know that they are bitter. ”
Ren Hengtai frowned, shook his head and said: "The ticket is going to be annotated, Qin Tianjian mentioned a few days ago that there is probably a severe cold this winter, and it will be allowed to be asked for thirty percent in case of emergency. ”
After finishing speaking, Ren Hengtai paused and thought for a moment, and looked sideways at Xie Jin opposite.
"Spring breeze, Ren Ge's words are for the country, and you should learn more and listen more in the future." Xie Jin spoke softly and taught earnestly.
Gao Yangzhi is as good as a stream, and he put a pen to Ren Hengtai's vote and opinions on the book of Qingyang Mansion Huanxian Concert.
Afterwards, the three of them continued to vote for the concerto.
Many state affairs still need to be drafted one by one before the few remaining officials in Beijing enter the palace, and they will be sent to the Holy Front.
Bai Yuxiu and Wang Xinling called the little officials from Wenyuan Pavilion to come forward to serve, and the two silently withdrew from the main hall.
"Senior, why did you say that Mr. gave up the top spot of Wenyuan Pavilion? This Wenyuan Pavilion was clearly the first gentleman to walk in. ”
When he got outside, Wang Xinling saw that there was no one around, so he frowned in the corner and hugged Mr. Bai Yuxiu.
Bai Yuxiu smiled, he was very satisfied with this junior who took over the vacant official position he had vacated in the Yamen of the General Political Envoy Division.
Bai Yuxiu said softly: "Mr. has been in Wenyuan Pavilion for several years, this is an indisputable fact, but what about in the court?" Ren Ge is always a scholar and a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, His Majesty wants him to enter Wenyuan Pavilion, does he want him to fall behind Mr.? So, where are the rules of the country? ”
Wang Xinling pouted: "Then it should be Zhai Butang who has entered Wenyuan Pavilion, and the partial birth is the Ministry of Rites." ”
"Your Majesty...... Or is it ......" Bai Yuxiu obviously paused twice, and finally did not speak, but changed his words: "Ren Ge Lao's remarks in front of the noon gate that day are probably the reason why he was able to enter Wenyuan Pavilion." ”
The young governor was still resentful, probably thinking that his husband was the best in the world.
Bai Yuxiu grabbed the words that came to his mouth before the junior brother, and said comfortingly: "You have to know that the height of the seat above the court is not necessarily the height of the seat. Let's say that now in this Wenyuan Pavilion, can you say that the old man of Ren Pavilion is the only one, and everything is dominated by him? If this is the case, Gao Yangzhi will not be able to enter the Wenyuan Pavilion in advance today, without a will. ”
Wang Xinling suddenly quieted down, and after a while, a bright light flashed in front of him.
When he raised his head, a smile already appeared on his face: "The palace is to maintain balance in the Wenyuan Pavilion!" Ren Ge is in charge of Wenyuan Pavilion, but with Mr. and Senior Gao here, it is impossible to make Wenyuan Pavilion a hall. And Mr. and Senior Gao have the trust of His Royal Highness, and the affairs in the court can also be assured. ”
Bai Yuxiu nodded, but shook her head again: "There is one more thing, you probably forgot." ”
"One more thing?"
The young prefect's face was blank.
Bai Yuxiu explained: "The imperial court is now going to implement a new policy. And where did the New Deal come from? It seems that Ren Ge is always the general consul Wen Yuange, but under the new policy, how heavy the responsibilities and burdens on his shoulders will be, have you ever thought about it? When the new deal is implemented, there will be many scoldings in the world.
In Wenyuan Pavilion today, Mr. and Senior treated Pavilion Elder Ren with such courtesy, and they also knew about the matter here. It is said that it is respect, but it is better to say that it is the gratitude of Mr. and senior to Ren Gelao. ”
Wang Xinling's mouth was open, and there was an expression of sudden realization on his face.
Bai Yuxiu stretched out his hand and pointed at Wang Xinling's forehead, shook his head with a chuckle, and said, "You don't know about Qingyang Mansion as a senior of Chunfeng?"
A few months ago, many recitals in the court and China were transcribed and sent to the Chunfeng seniors, which is the meaning of His Royal Highness Taisun. Earlier, there was already a doomed matter in today's Wenyuan Pavilion
You and me, in front of Mr. and Senior Chunfeng, there are still many things to learn. ”
Bai Yuxiu sighed for the last time.
seems to be expressing his shallow experience in officialdom, and he seems to be lamenting when he will be able to step into the Wenyuan Pavilion from the youngest feudal official in the empire like a spring breeze senior.
Wang Xinling's eyes were completely confused.
All the information he heard at this moment was really difficult for him to digest for a while.
In the end, with a trace of pure longing, he turned his head and looked sideways at the hazy main hall of Wenyuan Pavilion behind the window paper.
……
Dawn rises.
A new day in the city is slowly coming.
Today, there are very few officials in Beijing who can enter the noon gate, which can be described as sparse.
The officials of the six departments, five temples and three law divisions are quite neat, but when it comes to the officials below, such as the squire and the young secretary, there are already a handful.
After passing through the Fengtian Gate, the officials went to the Huagai Hall of today's court.
At this time, there is a scene that makes people laugh and laugh.
The Shanglin Yuan Supervisor, who was only mentioned from the position of Sanpin a year ago, entered the palace today to participate in the court meeting, but he was the most neat among the officials.
A large group of people, under the leadership of Yuan Sutai, who was wearing a first-class crane robe and the supervisor of Shanglin Yuan, was like the first yamen of the Ming Dynasty, holding his head high, and he looked out of place with his colleagues in the DPRK and China around him.
Ren Hengtai, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was on an errand in Wenyuan Pavilion, and Zhai Shan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was still recuperating in the Tai Hospital.
In front of the civil officials, there are only two people, Yuxin, the secretary of the household department, and Wang Jun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and the second is the official of the Zhengyin Hall of the Yamen such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the General Political Envoy.
Yuan Sutai didn't move forward or backward, so he just silently led the officials of Shanglin Yuan Prison to follow the crowd, but his eyes looked around from time to time.
Then, Yuan Sutai fixed his eyes on the other group of people in the middle of the crowd who were out of step with the officials of the DPRK and China.
It is the people who are the craftsmen who are led by the master craftsman Zhang Ergong.
Zhang Ergong of the seven-grade green robe and a group of craftsmen in the nine-grade green robe were in the crowd, and people could recognize their identities at a glance.
There are some unkempt appearances, and the official robes are still indented one by one, indicating that they rarely wear official robes on weekdays.
With swarthy cheeks and scarred and calloused palms, he was clearly dressed in official robes, but he did not look like an imperial official.
Yuan Sutai looked sideways at the Shanglin Yuan prison officials beside him.
The other party immediately moved his footsteps to Zhang Ergong and the others.
After a while, Zhang Ergong seemed a little frightened and took his craftsmen and officials to merge with the officials of Shanglin Yuanjian.
Zhang Ergong was very nervous at the moment, and the big red robe of the crane on Yuan Sutai, the supervisor of the Lin Yuan in front of him, made him a little breathless just by looking at it.
But he felt a little curious about Yuan Sutai, who was obviously wearing a crane red robe, but had never walked in the front.
Yuan Sutai was more calm than Zhang Ergong, and said softly: "I heard that the master craftsman has been coming and going frequently in the three places recently, and it is very hard. There are countless things to do in the country, and the master craftsman still has to take care of his body. ”
Such close words made Zhang Ergong at a loss for a while.
Zhang Ergong hurriedly arched his hand, lowered his head and whispered: "...... Xia Guan Xie Yuan Jian is worried. It's just that there are too many things, if you don't do it today, you will have to do more tomorrow, and you will be more tired. ”
Yuan Sutai showed surprise on his face, glanced at the Shanglin Yuan prison officials around him who also looked surprised, and couldn't help laughing twice: "In the court, the only one who can say that you are tired so directly is you, the master craftsman, and only you are qualified to say this." ”
Zhang Ergong didn't know how to answer, so he could only keep nodding his head, and felt that this was not good, so he began to shake his head.
Yuan Sutai's eyes turned and he opened the topic and said, "I heard...... The master craftsman's steam ship is about to be ready? I wonder how powerful the new sea ship can be? ”
At the mention of professional matters, Zhang Ergong's eyes suddenly lit up.
He replied quickly: "Back to prison, the steam ship will be launched in two months." I waited for a while, and first went down the river from Longjiang Shipyard to Songjiang Mansion.
If there is nothing to do, let the steam ship go to sea and sail to Hangzhou. If there was nothing to do, he went to Jiaozhi Road.
A back and forth, probably until the end of the year, to determine if there are any changes that need to be made.
It is probably not until this time next year that the specifications and processes of the steam ships will be finalized, and new steam ships will be launched at the end of next year. ”
Yuan Sutai was not in a hurry, so he quietly listened to Zhang Ergong's introduction to the steam ship.
Zhang Ergong finished talking about the construction period and arrangement, swallowed his saliva, and took the initiative to continue: "Now this steam sea ship, according to the plan of the lower officials, can carry 3,000 materials. When the steam ship returns to Yingtian from Jiaozhidao this year, Xiaguan and others plan to increase the load to 5,000 materials.
Wooden sea boats, too restricted. Xia Guan and others are still studying how to further increase the load of sea ships and ensure that sea ships can walk on the ocean as if they were on the ground.
Bigger sea vessels, more stable sea vessels. Xiaguan and others hope that the imperial court will soon have a large ship of ten thousand materials, or even tens of thousands of materials, from the hands of Xiaguan and others.
If this is the case, the imperial court can also build it into a warship. If there is something overseas, it is just a steam ship, full of officers and soldiers, and it is enough to quell the turmoil. ”
As Zhang Ergong said the accurate numbers one by one, the eyes of Yuan Sutai and others had frequently shone brightly.
The big ship of 5,000 materials is already comparable to the largest treasure ship in the hands of the imperial court today.
It is 3,000 materials, and it is also a rare carrying capacity of sea ships that travel between Jiaozhi Road and Yingtian today.
And most of the sea ships, such as the Zhongshan Wangfu, which are under the hands of a group of people who sit on sea ships and freight, are mostly 1,000 or 2,000 materials. There are 3,000 or 4,000 materials, which are also a few ships.
And now, Zhang Ergong directly launched a sea ship of 3,000 materials, and he will strive to increase this number to 5,000 materials next year, which is comparable to the treasure ship of the Ming Dynasty.
He even looked forward to the future of the Ming Dynasty with tens of thousands of big ships built from them.
A large ship of tens of thousands of materials, full of Ming officers and soldiers, went to sea to suppress the turmoil?
Although Yuan Sutai is the supervisor of Shanglin Yuan, but when he said this, he only felt that his blood was bursting for a while.
