Zhejiang's letter from Xu Ruoqin still entered the capital, and was presented by the General Political Envoy and has now been handed to the cabinet.

Liu Jian didn't want to care about this matter, one was the emperor's favorite minister, and the other was the emperor's beloved son. It doesn't do him any good for a cabinet leader to mix in those.

In the past few years, he has managed the country quite well with a more pragmatic style and with the help of Li Dongyang and Xie Qian. Anyway, if there is anything new, it is all the idea of the East Palace.

He carried out various decrees in the name of the prince, and if he was dissatisfied, he went to the prince.

And what made him very pleased was that since the twelfth year of Hongzhi, the prince's decrees have never tossed the people, nor have they increased the burden on the people, how good.

However, the current state of affairs in Zhejiang is marked by the appointment of Wang Hua, the governor of Zhejiang, and many officials who have been suppressed have begun to break the tacit agreement that only Wei Bin was to be investigated, and turn the spearhead to the crown prince.

People found that sending away a Wei Bin was actually useless.

In this way, the political struggle will evolve in a more intense direction.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty even dared to criticize the emperor, and the prince did not mention it, but because of the change of Zuo Shunmen, most people did not dare to do so.

This...... But for some reason, he began to provoke the East Palace again.

Liu Jiancao has worked hard for a few years, and he has aged a lot, he is very thin, as if he is undernourished, his face is wrinkled, and after the skin has no tension, his eyelids droop down, causing his left eye to look smaller than his right eye.

But his mind is still very clear.

How to deal with Zhejiang's performance this time still needs to be carefully considered. In particular, one of the sentences "the body is favored and carries a high position, the family is warm and the food is generous, because of the wealth of wealth, in order to compete with the people for the benefit of the next, the people's security can be like this, and it is directly aimed at the East Palace in Zhejiang's bank for."

This means: being in a high position, having a rich family and enjoying a good fortune, and using the power of the best to compete with the people, how can the people be stable.

This is the principle of Confucianism,

Liu Jian and others, as Confucian masters, naturally agree. But in the past few years, what kind of person the prince is, as long as the ministers who have been in contact with him understand,

Liu Jian didn't like the prince at first, and he only agreed with it little by little through practice.

Now the prince may really have something to do with taking silver in Zhejiang, but just like Wang Wei asked, when did the East Palace add a palace, and when did he find a strange treasure.

Even those strange recipes and secret techniques that Emperor Hongzhi liked, Donggong disdained.

So now they are still so opposed to the East Palace, either because they read the book stupidly, or because there is some reason.

"Who is this Xu Ruoqin, who made him go on this road like this?" Li Dongyang was also stumped by this recital, "In this way, how will the cabinet vote?"

This is one of the most difficult things.

If you press this note, it is only a prefect, then it is nothing, but the power behind this prefect, when the time comes, the cabinet's behavior will be unjustifiable.

The song is the embodiment of imperial power, how can a courtier press another courtier's note?

But if you send it like this, how to vote is also a trouble,

For example, if you support the performance of the member, then you are against the prince, refute it, and it is easy to make irresponsible remarks and flatter him. ….

If you don't say anything, and hand it over to the prince and the emperor to see, it is easier to be reprimanded by the prince: You are blind, this kind of performance, the cabinet will not show anything?

Can that be interpreted as a tacit approval?

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi's health is getting worse and worse, he doesn't have a long life at all, so this juncture is really going to make it difficult for the cabinet to die.

[Recommended,@

Inform the East Palace. With this gesture, the prince at least won't blame too much,

As for the matter itself, as soon as it is handed over like this, it is estimated that it will be taken off if it can be handed over.

There's no way around it.

Hey, it's really hard for Liu Ge to be old.

……

……

Zhejiang, Hangzhou.

The arrival of Wang Hua represents the end of Wei Bin, and now this scene has finally been staged.

Every step did not exceed the expectations of others, and the officialdom in Zhejiang did not have a big reaction to this, a eunuch, just do it, and scold a few words from behind, but it doesn't affect anything.

What people care about is Wang Hua's action.

Li Yancai, the political envoy, is not as stupid as Dang Shanji, he came to Zhejiang from Hubei, to be honest, he was already a little drumming in his heart, and even regretted it......

This pool of water in Zhejiang is so fucking deep......

"How could Wang Hua do such a thing?" Li Yancai couldn't deal with this person's behavior before and after at all, last time, this time he was suddenly greedy, "After Wei Bin left, the prince specially sent him to Zhejiang."

Dang Shanji was a little more vulgar, and he pulled his throat and said, "What prince sent. Then Wei Bin was sent by the prince, what was the result? In the final analysis, there are so many people in the house to support, plus the ushering in the send-off, where is the little silver that is enough to rely on Yulu? He can't make his own silver, right? What if I don't take it?"

Li Yancai didn't believe it, "If that's the case, how can he give an account to the East Palace?"

"What's wrong with it. Caught Wei Bin and copied out two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, this errand is not good enough?"

Dang Shanji is talking about two or three hundred thousand taels.

Obviously, he has cut off more than half of the 800,000 taels of silver left by Wang Hua.

That's it, he also said that his heart is not as good as Wang Huahei.

But how to say it, the degree of greed for ink in the sea trade in Zhejiang and Fujian is unimaginable.

After the opening of Longqing, Yuegang, a city open to the outside world, has a record of more than 10,000 taels and more than 20,000 taels a year.

It should be true, but it's certainly wildly problematic.

The history here just looks at the data in the history books, and it is necessary to doubt how useful the sea is.

After all, businessmen engaged in maritime trade are millions of dollars in a few years. The tax of the imperial court is 10,000 taels a year, 20,000 taels?

What about the money!

Moreover, according to the statistics of later generations, in about 70 years after the opening of Longqing, the silver flowing into the Ming Dynasty from all over the world was conservatively estimated to be 350 million taels, and 500 million taels if it was not conservative. ….

It can be seen that the foreign trade of the Ming Dynasty was very strong, and it was our ancestral craft to engage in surpluses. On the other hand, it is also seen that the corruption of the rulers is incorrigible.

Although Dang Shanji is very rough now, Li Yancai is difficult to refute for a while, and the logic is always reasonable.

As for what to do next,

Li Yan had to take this idea himself.

You can also ask for instructions from the top like Wang Hua, it was Liu Daxia who advocated and recommended him to serve in Zhejiang, Liu Daxia was the emperor's favorite minister, and Li Yancai was of course willing to take him as the leader.

But how could he ask for advice?

Report Wang Hua's corruption to the top? It's okay, but they will also lose the opportunity to make money, and now with this cover, everyone can live well in Zhejiang, and when you open it, the silver can only be seen.

And when you open it, you have to take responsibility, after all, you are not greedy, you don't allow others to be greedy, and you won't be the same as the light, which colleague can tolerate you next?

Or ask Liu Daxia, how much is appropriate for them?

That's not right either.

Everyone came together because of morality, and went to a letter asking how to distribute the money.

Even if you want to mention silver, remember, don't ask, but send it directly. Don't give him multiple-choice questions in this kind of matter, but tell him that you have worked hard, this is all small money, and you have to push and force him to take it.

In this case, he can take the silver and blame you again, 'I won't allow it next time.'"

Therefore, for Li Yancai, it is not good for him to report this matter, whether to fill in 1.26 million taels or 800,000 taels in the eucalyptus volume of the Beijing Division, or collude with Wang Hua to fill in 200,000 taels.

He had to make his own decision, and he had to hide it from the people in Beijing. No one above wants to know how you are corrupt, who wants to make a fuss, the above just wants you to send a little bit of the embezzled money, as for how much to send, how to send it, it depends on whether you will be an official or not.

Li Yancai thought about it carefully and felt that it was better for him to be safer when he first arrived.

"That's it, what is he going to do on the governor's yamen, after all, we are subordinates, no matter how ugly people are, they can't stop them. But I always think the governor is a little strange this time, so let's keep it a little bit."

Dang Shanji was a little unhappy after hearing this, Lao Tzu has explained it to you, you still say it's weird, what do you mean?

But he still endured a little unhappiness, and muttered, "Okay." What do you say?"

Li Yan thought for a moment and stretched out his finger, "Didn't the governor's yamen ask us to interrogate Wei Bin? The caliber of the two of us is based on 800,000 taels, and if it is not based on 1.2 million taels, we will be deemed to have recognized him as the governor of the king. As for the eucalyptus rolls we sent, it is still best to use 400,000 taels of silver. 50,000 taels each for you and me, and half for you and me. The main thing is above."

Then he pinched his voice again and said, "No matter what, this matter can't be done by you and me, after all, it is about the prince, if something goes wrong and blames it, what should we do?" So this silver still has to be sent up, and more to give, the top can ignore us, but they won't ignore this silver, right? Let's talk less and give more, even if we cut off our heads in the future, we will cut them from top to bottom." ….

Dang Shanji listened to what he said, but those small eyes were full of suspicion, "It's so hard, it's 50,000 taels? Then you might as well not take it!"

"Okay, as long as you have this sentence, I will admit it. Then we won't take it, write 800,000 taels on the eucalyptus scroll, and send it to Beijing, Zhejiang is clean up and down, and we can still refer to him Wang Hua."

That's a bad word.

How could Dang Shanji admit it, his head shrank back, "What do you mean that I have this sentence, such a big matter, you don't make the yamen express your position?"

Li Yancai was speechless and pointed at this guy, "Say you don't take it, you're afraid that you won't be able to get along in the officialdom, and if you don't take it and you're not greedy enough, you have to take the risk of taking this deadly money, right?"

"What do you call this, if something really happens, can you be innocent?" Dang Shanji's neck was stretched, and he was still strong.

This stupid donkey posture made Li Yancai a little annoyed, he must have been tired of this, so he took it hard, so it was better to take less, and he had to take more.

"Then I'm going to take you! I won't take much anyway!"

Dang Shanji gave him a murder, and he was happy, "Hey, hey, what are you arguing with me? has the ability to go to the governor's yamen, it is he who has cut off as much as thirty percent! Besides, he takes so much, what are you afraid of?"

These words also gave Li Yancai a little bit in his heart, yes, the prince's own heart is even darker......
