On the way from Beijing to Nanjing, Jin Yiwei did not dare to stop for a moment.

In addition to going to Nanjing first, they also had to send a person to quickly rush to Zhejiang to find Liu Zhenyuan.

Small fish and small shrimp can't be let go, let alone big fish?

The accident in Sichuan was rushed to Beijing by 800 miles, and now it is rushing for time.

Although Commander Luo said that the Sichuan side must have strictly guarded the pass, if the news travels all the way east through the Yangtze River, it will not take too long to reach Nanjing.

Ying Tianfu Yin Mengchun, is three products.

The old party was ostensibly the leader of the party, but now the situation is becoming clearer and clearer. Since there is a corpse impeachment to explore the way, it shows that there is another group of people who are really smart and bold. And among these people, Meng Chun is at least a figure in the inner circle.

Now, next to Meng Chun, the core figure, several people have gathered again.

"Your Majesty really moved Hui Anbo, or in the name of rebellion! Jinyiwei has arrived in Zhejiang! Shen Yuanqing, the head of the Shen family of Wuxing, who had been here that day in the name of congratulating his birthday, had a secret discussion with Meng Chun, and he was worried, "Fuzun, the momentum is like fire and water, the momentum is like fire and water!" ”

Although Shen Wenzhou was ostensibly born in Shandong, many big clans in the south came from the south, and Shen Wenzhou was also the ancestor of the Shen family.

Shen Yuanqing was very worried that Jinyi Weiti rode to Zhejiang and went straight to the Shen family and the Zheng family.

Zheng Mingkun, the young man of the Zheng family who was here that day, was silent and frowned.

Meng Chun had a calm face, looked at Shen Yuanqing and said, "Since you are worried that Jinyiwei went to Zhejiang for your Shen and Zheng families, you still rushed to Nanjing?" ”

Shen Yuanqing was speechless for a moment: "Does the Mansion Zun want me to sit and wait for death?" Besides, my Shen family firm has often traveled back and forth to the provinces. ”

The few others who listened silently lowered their eyelids slightly.

The four words of sitting and waiting for death were all spoken, and the threat in the words was also obvious.

How can the Shen family firm travel to and from the provinces? The big guys have also taken the benefits and given convenience.

If Jin Yiwei really came to Shen and Zheng's two families, what difference does it make if he, Shen Yuanqing, confessed to everyone after being arrested or came directly to discuss letting Jin Yiwei touch everyone?

Zheng Mingkun opened his mouth: "What is the big deal about the corpse admonition and corpse impeachment?" Your Majesty is not afraid of the history of the discussion and strict investigation of this matter, my lords, in the current situation, the court is really not afraid of things in the world. Under the great crime of rebellion, I don't care about anything else. ”

Including Meng Chun, all the officials were silent.

This is no ordinary choice.

It took a lot of effort, with the help and encouragement of Yan Shenggong and many official gentry, to have Zhang Wei's opportunity.

But the emperor not only did not worry about the horror that would be caused by Zhang Wei and others, but also made a will to let the kings and relatives of the world's vassal kings and relatives enter Beijing this year to celebrate their birthday.

The meaning is obvious: it's only a few months, and if you have a different heart, hurry up.

No one knows what will happen after Halloween this year.

In this situation, there are really only two options: obedience or rebellion.

And now the trouble is: Li Xiang's fire has really burned to the people who planned these things, and it is imminent.

Meng Chun finally opened his mouth and said to another official: "Brother Fang, you have a book in your heart in the household department, the details of the tax changes in the four provinces of Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Huguang?" ”

Fang Dingchang, who served as the right waiter in Nanjing's household department, looked at him: "What else does Brother Meng have to do?" ”

Although the Nanjing Household Department is not the most important among the Nanjing government offices, there are several things that are very important.

First: to manage the Yellow Book Library in Houhu, Nanjing. After the relocation of the capital, the Yellow Book Library, which stored the entire land and household registration files of the Ming Dynasty, remained in Houhu and was managed by the Nanjing Household Department.

Second: the national salt introduction Kanhe is managed by the Nanjing household department and the Nanjing household department, and the printing of the salt introduction is completed by the Nanjing household department, and the seal of the Nanjing household department is stamped, and then it is distributed.

Third, it is responsible for the collection and transportation of taxes from the provinces of Nanzhili and Huguang, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang, which naturally involves Caoyun.

Fourth: supervise the grain of Nanjing's guards, the grain storage of each warehouse, and the inner warehouse of Nanjing, and at the same time, there are also matters related to the distribution of officials in Nanjing.

Now that Meng Chun asked about this, what Fang Dingchang was thinking about was terrifying.

After all, the grain tax that can be collected by Nanzhili and Jiangxi, Huguang, and Zhejiang provinces is nearly half of the world's. Although the Nanjing household department has to report and approve the collection of taxes and other decisions related to money and grain, if it is an extraordinary time, it still has a lot of autonomy.

Meng Chun knew that he was thinking wrong, and said clearly: "Since the founding of the country, there have been changes in grain endowments and science rules everywhere, and I don't know how many bad debts there are, and every bad debt is related to the people. Your Majesty is afraid that he thinks that our serious actions are purely for personal gain, and he does not understand how the people will be dissatisfied under the fire of this new law. That being the case, some bad debts might as well be turned out and exposed. ”

Fang Dingchang's eyes were deep: "What does Brother Meng refer to?" ”

Meng Chun looked at Shen Yuanqing, thinking in his heart about the danger that was already approaching him, and sneered as soon as he opened his mouth: "How difficult is it to reconcile all places and let the rich land bear more responsibilities?" In the future, isn't it necessary to compile and review the rules of the department and share the burden between the rich and the poor? For such a thing, the household department in Nanjing may wish to blow the wind first and make some preparations to show the intention of welcoming the new law. I don't know about other places, but when I was the prefect of Huizhou, I knew that there were some places where people would never welcome the sharing of rich and poor! ”

Fang Dingchang pondered for a while, knowing what kind of thing he was talking about.

"Brother Meng's meaning, this year's tax collection in Nanzhili and the three provinces, Nanjing Household Department first clarifies some erroneous rules, as well as the Yellow Book Library?"

Meng Chun nodded: "That's nature." If the imperial court decided to implement the new law to the provinces, the first thing to do was to clear the land and compile the rules. It's not just the gentry who are worried about this. ”

Who in the world doesn't cheat and play tricks? Whenever there is a condition, they will try their best to hide some land areas and people to avoid taxes and forced labor. In addition to the official gentry and wealthy households, many ordinary people are also like this.

It is true that the people will be happy to clean up the water conservancy, but if some of the taxes that they did not have to bear in the past are spread on their heads, it will be a different matter.

For more than 100 years, who has not balanced all sides? The more impoverished the place, in order to avoid arousing public resentment and rebellion, it is often not too harsh to treat them.

In fact, the rich in the land of wealth bear more responsibilities, and with some other conveniences, this is how the world will live steadily.

Fair? How can there be simple fairness in everything, it is just that the overall situation can get by!

As far as the other party Dingchang is concerned, Meng Chun's proposal is not a problem on the surface.

This can be regarded as the Nanjing officials "understanding the intentions" and preparing for the new law.

But he also knows that this matter is not so simple.

Shen Yuanqing also knew it, but what he wanted was not this, but the imminent fear that needed to be eliminated.

"Fuzun, these things can't quench your thirst far from water. If it provokes a popular uprising, it will also be futile. Shen Yuanqing gritted his teeth and asked, "What is the decision of the DPRK and China in the matter of Li Xiang and Zhang Wei in front of you?" If Fei Dutai is not enough to rely on, what does Yan Shenggong say? Is there anyone else in the DPRK and China who can salvage the situation? ”

What he wanted to ask was to save himself and him Meng Chun himself! Don't let this continue to grow!

Meng Chun's eyes stared at him sharply: "Could it be that Brother Shen wants to either break the fortune and avoid disasters quickly, or hurry up and do something big?" ”

"But Your Majesty is determined to deal with it strictly, and my Shen family is about to collapse!" Shen Yuanqing was impatient, and his tone was disrespectful, "If I go to prison, how can I stand it!" ”

Meng Chun replied lightly: "What do you say that far water does not quench your thirst, before the Halloween Festival, the world will change at any time." If you don't know what is important, and don't care about the future of your children and grandchildren, what does this house have to say? Your Majesty wants to know the law, after all, this case is being tried by the Three Law Divisions. Shen Yuanqing, if you hadn't made up your mind, now you and I would have to wait! ”

At this point, the news he was waiting for really came.

The butler walked in and handed over a letter.

Meng Chun did not hide the excitement on his face after reading it: "Sichuan is suddenly closed, you are allowed to enter but not to leave, there must be a big event!" ”

Shen Yuanqing was stunned: "Fei Dutai is not ......"

Meng Chun said with a smile: "Fei Dutai may be fake, but Yang Fantai and Gao Zhentai are inseparable. Now no matter what, Sichuan is going to be in chaos! With this fire, what will happen to the rest of the provinces? The new turmoil in Beijing, how does Your Majesty choose? Not afraid of something in the world? That's because it's okay! ”

……

The world is too big, and the capital is too small.

Those who have never seen Zhu Houxi himself are stuck in the inertia of the past monarchs and ministers in dealing with major affairs in the world, and the news lags behind the express delivery system established specifically for the emperor to control the vast territory.

At this moment, the most efficient operation of the entire Ming Dynasty is the imperial study, followed by the Jinyi Wei and the inner factory system that the emperor has personally trained again.

Luo An had just finished participating in Zhou Zhao's funeral, and then summoned Wang Zuo.

"I'm going south, you're in the capital. Your Majesty has made such an arrangement, and you should know its deep meaning. ”

"The humble duty will not live up to the trust of the command, and the grace of His Majesty is as deep as the sea!"

Wang Zuo naturally understood.

Luo An is gone, but he is afraid that Jiajing will have to travel to various places in the fifth year of Jiajing and even before the situation in the world is stable, so that the provincial security department special service teams that the emperor personally explained and the future provincial security department can play an effective role.

And the reuse of Wang Zuo, that is already a very clear signal: after Luo An, the Jinyi Guard commands the envoy to be Wang Zuo.

Luo An's expression was solemn: "Although there is still an internal factory, there are many newcomers in this meeting. In extraordinary times, we must not slack off. Under the thunder, if there are still people who take risks, it will not be a small fight. ”

Wang Zuo nodded: "I understand!" ”

After this big move, there will be fewer wall-riding factions in Jingli. But if the local situation is not right, I am afraid that there will be more wall-riding factions.

Counsellors are no exception.

Otherwise, how could there be a change in the past?

Luo An went to the place, and the capital relied on Wang Zuo to preside over the overall situation of Jinyiwei.

"We also have to focus on the honorable relatives."

Luo An knew that Wang Zuo was actually smarter and more talented than himself. But since he is the commander, he also has to make some arrangements that Wang Zuo will naturally understand, and hand over some things.

For example, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he has a direct communication channel with the Forbidden Palace, and this power must be temporarily performed by Wang Zuo.

After everything was sorted out, the commander of the Jinyi Guard led the hundred horsemen to leave the capital.

I secretly left a few days ago, and I don't know how much.

Under Wang Zuo's hands, the strength is actually temporarily empty.

But he also knows very well that it is actually the least likely to make any big waves in the capital now. In addition to Zhang Yong, who supervised the Beijing camp, the nine gates of the Beijing Division, the soldiers and horses of the five cities, and the guards in the city have not stopped training since the change of the five military camps.

Nowadays, it's more about the place.

The change in Sichuan, the official documents of the Wenchen system finally arrived in the capital. After passing through the General Political Envoy Division, there are already many people who know the news, after all, the will of the Shenji Battalion and the Fifth Army Battalion to be selected and promoted has been released.

The military department wrote and gave Fei Hong and Xue Lun the right to cheapen, what the old party leader, even if he was not smart, already knew.

In front of them were the opportunities left behind after the seven counselors had gone to various places.

The Beijing officials had to start taking sides, and they could not stand in opposition to the New Party under the noses of the emperor and the "powerful" New Party.

"Who's coming to Shandong?" When the news reached Qufu, Kong Wenshao asked Kong Wenfang anxiously.

"Nope." Kong Wenfang shook his head, and was even a little happy, "I asked Futai, but he didn't receive the order, everything in Shandong is as before." With such drastic changes in Sichuan, if Your Majesty is still waging a war in Shandong, people all over the world will be afraid that Your Majesty will completely replace the learning of the ancestors with new learning. It's been almost half a year, Your Majesty's three theories, a lot of physics is full of tricks and tricks, how many people in the world are ashamed to study? ”

Everything in Shandong is as before, which shows that the imperial court knows the priority.

It is true to plow and sweep the world in the name of the new law, and it is also true to take some profits from the officials and gentry.

If you don't kill a batch, where will there be more land? Smart people actually understand this truth. When it comes to rich countries, it's just a matter of distributing benefits.

Copied out, extra out, just divide it well.

Kong Wenfang said: "Zonggong doesn't need to worry. It was temporarily moved to the head of the Confucian family, and it was just a mouth to fortress the world. As long as I don't dig the roots of Confucianism thoroughly, my Confucian family is as safe as Mount Tai. Besides, now that Sichuan has changed, I don't know what will happen to the world. ”

He enjoyed the feeling that Kong Wenshao kept coming to ask for his opinion.

Compared with this Yansheng Gongtang brother, Kong Wenfang thinks that he is much smarter than him.

Yan Shenggong and many people in the imperial court exchanged letters, and if the big knife of the "old party" with the intention of "rebellion" in the process of the new law really cut into the Confucian family, it would only be cut on the head of Yan Shenggong first.

But as long as the imperial court still needs to appease the hearts of the people in the world through the Kong family, then the incident of his father replacing Kong Wenshao's father Kong Hongxu in the past may be repeated.

As long as you are "faithful" at that time.

At this time, Nanzhili, the imperial court's decree had not yet arrived, and Jiang Mian had just set off.

Meng Chun already knew the news of the changes in Sichuan, but he didn't know how this change was developing now.

But he didn't care. Fang Dingchang, who was still worried that such a move would provoke a "popular uprising", even after discussing with some scholars in Nanjing, began to send a letter to the prefectures and prefectures in the name of "standing in line" to first clear up the tax rules that had problems in the past, and at the same time make preparations to clear the land and rebuild the yellow book.

Liu Zhenyuan, who had just gotten the new list from Sun Xuan, had not had time to make a move in Zhejiang, and got a new message.

There was a glint of excitement in his eyes.

Zhejiang family, where can they compare with the high-ranking officials in Nanjing?

Jinyiwei's people in Nanjing are not enough to preside over the overall situation.

"You can't leak the news first!" Liu Zhenyuan looked at his deputy, "The list is already there, eighth, you take this." ”

Jin Yiwei walked in Zhejiang, and He Ping'an saw Liu Zhenyuan take out a few things from a small cabinet brought to Zhejiang.

"Something new in the Ten Thousand Law Pavilion." Liu Zhenyuan handed it to him like a baby, "I will go to Nanjing for a few days." Seven days later, at nine o'clock in the night, you set out together in Zhejiang! ”

"Nine o'clock?"

Liu Zhenyuan nodded: "This clock is extremely accurate, two laps a day, two hours is a big hour." In the future, this thing will be built so much that many important things will be done in many places at the same time. Remember, be surprised, and act at the same time! ”

After such a long time, the table clock seized from the Portuguese finally came out in a handmade miniature version. It's not quite like a pocket watch, but it's ready to be carried around.

Liu Zhenyuan arranged the affairs of Zhejiang, and then turned over and left Hangzhou.

Some people saw it in their eyes and breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts: Sichuan has changed greatly, and His Majesty still can't take care of some "accomplices" in Zhejiang after all.
