The news that Xiao Feng was going to establish Guofang quickly spread from the Ministry of Industry to the rest of the ministries, and became the hottest topic in the officialdom of the capital.

Officials of the Ministry of Works, who were qualified to attend the meeting that day, became the sweethearts of the social circle. The officials of the various ministries changed their previous disdainful attitude and warmly invited them to dinner, hoping to obtain first-hand information.

Where there is a market, there is competition, and where there is competition, there is a price increase. The news that could be heard from the beginning of a bowl of shredded chicken noodles quickly rose to four dishes.

Then with the strong demand for news authenticity verification in the market, the value of these participants rose to the point of drunken immortal building, and finally the co-branded card gritted his teeth and promised to have a second one!

In a warm atmosphere, the most calm person was Jiajing, who had just finished meditating with his eyes closed in the retreat, and even Huang Jin was a little curious.

"Long live, what Xiao Feng said about Guofang, now there are many discussions in the government and the opposition, and some people have heard that the old slave is here, but the old slave is also confused."

Jiajing smiled indifferently: "In fact, although the name of Guofang was mentioned by Xiao Feng, it is not a new thing. It's just that Xiao Feng's handwriting is much bigger than before.

I have already received the compendiums from various ministries, and there will definitely be some discussion at the next court meeting. If Xiao Feng can convince everyone, this matter will be feasible. ”

Huang Jin was slightly stunned: "Didn't Banzai say that he would support Xiao Feng?" ”

Jiajing took the tea in Huang Jin's hand and sighed: "Xiao Feng wants to increase the fortune of the country for the Ming Dynasty, and what he does is becoming more and more complicated from easy to difficult.

The matter of Guofang is still different from the reconstruction of the Daming Water Division, as long as I support it, even if there are complaints below, as long as it is built, it will be over.

Guofang is a matter of long-term operation, that is, after I ascend, future generations must also be able to operate it. So my support alone is not enough.

Xiao Feng had to be able to convince most of the officials of the Six Ministries to keep the system alive forever.

Temporary things are reliable and powerful, and long-term things depend on people's hearts. ”

Huang Jin looked at Jiajing, lowered his head, and said sincerely: "Long live the wise!" ”

Yan Shifan received his father's letter, read it briefly, and replied with a pen.

"Whatever Xiao Feng wants to do right now, our side will resist a little, but in the end, we must let him succeed. Among them, I believe that my father can control it.

Because if we don't resist at all, with Xiao Feng's alertness, we will definitely notice that we are giving in everywhere, and we must have other plans.

But if he resists too fiercely, and even disturbs what Xiao Feng wants to do, he has nothing to do, and his eyes will inevitably turn to Hu Zongxian and Xu Hai again.

Officials in various coastal areas are vigorously promoting the 'return plan', which is very smooth, and it must not be noticed by Xiao Feng at this time, so as not to cause extraneous complications! ”

The pigeons flew around, Yan Song knew it in his heart, and secretly told the Yan Party that the core idea was to grasp the scale.

A strict party official was a little worried after hearing the order, and asked his master, this is a gesture of resistance a little, and finally let Xiao Feng succeed, how to grasp the scale?

The master pondered for a long time, and patted his thigh: "Master, this matter is not difficult, the old man will give an example, and the adult will speak for itself."

It's that you can't take the initiative to untie your clothes like a woman in a green house, nor can you resist desperately like a woman from a good family.

Sir, when you recalled the scene when you hooked up with your wife's maid?

Did the maid squirm first, clinging to her clothes, but refusing to scream. And then you unbutton a button, and she covers a button, but refuses to refasten it?

When you finally took out the silver ticket and promised her to be a concubine, she stopped struggling and even began to twist her body so that you could take off your clothes? ”

The old man recalled carefully, and nodded again and again: "That's right, that's right, master!" I probably would! ”

So at the court meeting the next day, when Xiao Feng proposed to build the country, the Yan Party officials collectively began to twist their bodies and pretend to cover their buttons.

"Lord Xiao, this matter is not appropriate. Wouldn't it be a loss of identity to set up a state-owned court to do business and compete with the people for profit? ”

Xiao Feng said with a smile: "Since Guan Zhong, the country's salt and iron monopoly has been in the nature of a national fang, but the scope is small. What's more, my lord, you also frequent the business of Guofang. ”

The Yan Party official was stunned: "Do you mean to buy salt and iron?" I often buy some in my official house. ”

Xiao Feng shook his head and said, "No, I'm talking about your visit to the Qinglou, my lord." The green buildings in the world are all under the management of the Teaching Workshop Division, and they also pay taxes to the Teaching Workshop Division.

Adults often visit those places, and it is true that they have the court in their hearts, and they do their best to contribute to the court. ”

The Yan Party official was furious, but remembered that he always had to untie his clothes in the end, and he couldn't be too stiff, so he had to go back to the queue in anger and change to another one.

"Lord Xiao, whether it is the monopoly of salt and iron in the imperial court, or the Qinglou Goulan, they are all businesses that the people are not allowed to operate, and they will not affect the livelihood of the people.

If the country is even made of silk porcelain, what should the people do? Isn't this a competition with the people? ”

Xiao Feng nodded: "If you can think of competing with the people for profit, you can be regarded as a person with a heart." Competing with the people for profit must also be profitable.

Now the folk looms, few are women at home, one person and one machine; Most of them are only a dozen or dozens of workshops.

Why? Because the trade routes are not smooth, it is enough to rely on self-sufficiency. But if the trade routes are open, these are not enough.

The silk porcelain in the national square, as well as all industries, is to make high-quality products, and to earn foreigners' money! The private industry should be of high quality and low price.

Taking porcelain as an example, since ancient times, there have been official kilns and private kilns, and if you let the people eat with a porcelain bowl from an official kiln, it is a tyrannical thing. ”

After the Yan Party officials completed the task of twisting their attitudes, they naturally returned to the team, no longer arguing, and replaced the next person.

"Lord Xiao, the Guofang Guofang is the workshop of the country, that is, the thing of the country, why is it only placed under the Ministry of Industry? How can the other five be embarrassed? ”

Xiao Feng smiled slightly: "May I ask if an official like you is a talent of the country?" Why is it only under the subordinates?

May I ask if the official prostitutes of the sect are the official prostitutes of the state, and why are they only managed under the Ministry of Rites? Do you want the six ministries to take care of these official prostitutes?

If this is the case, even if the adults say it clearly, why bother to pull the question of the belonging of the state and the officials, and point to the east and the west? ”

In history, the most aggrieved battle of the Yan Party was this one. Because no matter whether they won or lost before, they could still do their best, even if they were defeated.

But in this battle, there are words on it, you can only pose, you can't fight with real swords and guns, Xiao Feng has a little strength, and you have to be pushed down.

Therefore, Xiao Feng almost did not encounter any decent resistance, and Yan Song didn't even speak, so he directly won the test and settled the matter of Guofang.

Looking at Xiao Feng's triumphant departure, looking at the humiliating eyes of his group of younger brothers being ravaged, Yan Song's teeth were about to be crushed.

Xiao Feng, you are angry, how angry are you now, when you find out that Hu Zongxian has set up his own door, my son's plan is successful, and he will return to the court, how shocked and depressed you will be.

The old man couldn't wait to see that scene right away, and he could spend a year of life for this!

After Hu Zongxian became the governor of Jiangnan, Xu Wei interacted with Xu Hai more and more frequently. Wang Zhi's encirclement was nothing but a void in the face of Hu Zongxian's domineering, and he entered when he said it, and he came out when he said it.

Wang Zhi wrote to Xiao Feng several times, expressing his concern about Hu Zongxian's abnormal behavior, and Xiao Feng told him that Hu Zongxian was his own person and did not need to worry.

Wang Zhi's brows furrowed, he had heard that Hu Zongxian had recently had a close relationship with Yan Party officials along the Jiangnan coast, which really worried him.

Wang Zhi took refuge in Xiao Feng, so he was naturally inseparable from the Yan Party. Hu Zongxian did such an act, could it be that Xiao Feng, such a smart person, didn't even notice it?

Or was he stumped by something and had no time to look south? Wang Zhi fell into a deep depression, but he didn't dare to say too deeply.

After all, when Hu Zongxian and Xiao Feng had a relationship, he was still outside the circle. is intimate, Wang Zhi still understands this truth.

Above the court, in Hu Zongxian's compromises, more and more names began to appear: Luo Wenlong.

In Hu Zongxian's twists and turns, Luo Wenlong played an increasingly important role, and his attention even exceeded that of Xu Hai.

Luo Wenlong persuaded Xu Hai to cease fire and create conditions for peace talks between the two sides. Luo Wenlong persuaded Wang Cuiqiao to no longer oppose the peace talks.

Luo Wenlong persuaded Xu Hai to let Xu Wei go to the island to negotiate. When someone on the island wanted to rebel, Luo Wenlong dealt with it decisively and protected the safety of the envoy Xu Wei.

Luo Wenlong personally went ashore and interviewed Hu Zongxian to obtain forgiveness and rewards for Xu Hai's fleet......

Jiajing watched Hu Zongxian's performance every day, and became more and more familiar with the name Luo Wenlong.

At the small court meeting on this day, Jiajing praised Hu Zongxian, saying that the junior brother and I have a good vision and know how to make good use of people. Although this Luo Wenlong was born as a pirate, he also knows a lot.

When the critical moment came, Yan Song coughed lightly and stepped forward.

"Long live, Hu Zongxian's latest recital, which hides a shocking secret, the old ministers and the cabinet are very shocked after reading it.

Because this matter involves the old minister, the old minister should avoid suspicion and be played by Xu Cifu. ”

Jiajing glanced at it, Xiao Feng was not present again, and asked helplessly: "Xiao Feng has been missing for a few days, where did he go?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Feng hurriedly walked into the West Garden and bowed to Jiajing, his face covered with sweat.

"Senior brother, in the past two days, in order to prevent the great hunger, as well as shipbuilding workshops and other matters, the officials of the six ministries have taken turns to negotiate with me, so I can't have leisure, please don't blame senior brother."

Yan Song secretly sneered in his heart, these people were arranged by him, the purpose was to make Xiao Feng unable to take his breath, stay in the cabinet, and be absent from the court meeting, so as to cooperate with Hu Zongxian's surrender action.

But he said very sincerely on the surface: "Long live, this is a good word, since ancient times, people who are capable work hard, these few things, Lord Xiao knows best, so there are many people looking for him."

Xu Cifu and I are old, and Gao Gong concentrates on the etiquette department and academic affairs, and in these things, it is indeed biased towards Lord Xiao! ”

Xu Jie's face was expressionless, and he gritted his teeth secretly, you are old and rotten, don't pull me, I'm not very old, I'm still waiting for you to take over!

Jiajing naturally didn't blame Xiao Feng for the trivial matter of being late for work and leaving early, but just smiled and nodded, signaling Xu Jie to continue.

Xu Jie cleared his throat, glanced at Xiao Feng with a strange expression, opened the recital, and recited slowly.

"Long live the Chancellor Hu Zongxian: The matter of recruiting Xu Hai is progressing smoothly and will be completed in a few days! Among them, thanks to the power of the dragon of Rowan.

Luo Wenlong made it clear to his ministers today that it was actually a meticulous work planted by the imperial court in the pirates, and he had forbearance for many years, all of which were today's things, and he couldn't help crying.

The minister didn't dare to be gullible, Luo Wenlong told the minister, and in the hands of the officials in many places in the south of the Yangtze River, there were plans arranged by Dongchang many years ago, which could prove his identity.

The minister then questioned the officials of various places in the south of the Yangtze River, and a total of the officials of the six coastal provinces showed evidence, and the minister had already paid tribute to him.

The matter is serious, and the minister does not dare to be arbitrary, so he will report this matter to the court in detail, and ask the cabinet to consider it. ”

Xiao Feng was taken aback: "What? Luo Wenlong is fine? Impossible! This person is Xu Hai's righteous son, and he holds great power in Xu Hai's fleet, will he be a big detail? ”

Yan Song sneered in his heart, you only know now that you are surprised, not only a little late, but also a little early. You'll be even more surprised!

Sure enough, Xu Jie looked at the plan attached to the compromise, and then glanced at Xiao Feng, his expression was even more strange.

"Long live, on the plan, there is indeed the handwriting stamp of Zhang Yuan, the official of Dongchang Factory, and there are also ...... The signature of Yan Shifan, the then governor of the Houjun Governor's Mansion and the Shaoqing of Shangbao Division! ”

As soon as the words came out, the audience was shocked. Even Jiajing almost stood up, he beckoned Xu Jie to send the fold and the document to the bookcase, and read it carefully.

Xiao Feng was really blinded by this stuffy stick: "This matter ...... This must be false! How could Luo Wenlong be a meticulous work?

Even if Luo Wenlong is really meticulous, it can't be related to Yan Shifan! What is Yan Shifan's identity, and what is the arrangement of detailed work, will it be his turn? ”

Yan Song just looked at Xiao Feng with a smile because he wanted to avoid suspicion, and the joy in his heart was indescribable. Naturally, there are little brothers lurking in the military department and the official department who jump out to endorse.

"Lord Xiao, before Yan Shifan recognized Taichang Siqing, he served as the governor of the military capital of the future, and the matter of exterminating pirates and pirates, the governor's office of the five armies is naturally duty-bound!"

"The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies also has the right to spy on the military situation and appoint detailed work, not to mention that this plan is jointly formulated with Dongchang, and there is no problem, Lord Xiao is obviously jealous of his ability and refuses to admit Yan Shifan's merits!"

Seeing that Xiao Feng was still about to speak, Jiajing waved his hand and gently stopped Xiao Feng.

"Senior brother, I know that you are not on good terms with Yan Shifan, but these documents are all true, and the paper and ink are old, especially the seals, and they cannot be faked.

Zhang Yuan is dead, just ask Yan Shifan at this time. If it was really the foreshadowing he planted back then, this work should not be buried. ”

Xiao Feng had to swallow his anger and make a final counterattack: "Senior brother, I'm not jealous, you know I'm not that kind of person."

It's just that even if Yan Shifan and Zhang Yuan teamed up to send a detailed work, they didn't know who was in charge. It is inevitable that people will not be corrupt in the group of pirates and pirates.

Now that Luo Wenlong can be truly obedient, there must be people who have not cut off contact with him for many years. I boldly speculate that this must be done by Zhang Changgong! ”

Yan Song finally couldn't help it, and he said coldly: "Lord Xiao, can it be that all the credit in the world can only belong to you alone?" The rest of the Ming Dynasty can't be effective?

The children's east building has also been full of books of sages since childhood, although there are some problems, but it is not useless.

Why can't he keep in touch with Luo Wenlong all the time and teach and act in secret? ”

Xiao Feng also sneered: "Who wouldn't talk about empty words and white teeth? I dare to conclude that Yan Shifan definitely does not have the patience and affection to keep in touch with a small detail.

The fine work itself should be sent by the East Factory, which is the part of the East Factory, but Zhang Changgong has a good relationship with Yan Shifan, so he signed Yan Shifan by the way! ”

Yan Song was furious: "You said that the old man has empty words and white teeth, is your words justified and well-founded?" ”

Xiao Feng smiled and said, "Lord Yan, everything must be reasonable. If Yan Shifan hadn't been corrupt and evil, how could he have been expelled from Beijing?

I use this as a basis for saying that he contributed a small amount to this matter, which is reasonable speculation. Could it be that a corrupt and evil official has the court in his heart?

Since Lord Yan can't make reasonable speculations based on reality, he should come up with real evidence to prove that Yan Shifan has indeed been in contact with Luo Wenlong all these years.

Otherwise, with a signature, what kind of merit can be judged? ”

Xiao Feng's words, although there are elements of anger with the Yan Party, are indeed reasonable. Jiajing also nodded slightly, but he didn't want to disappoint his old friend too much.

"Yan Aiqing, with this signature, it is more or less a credit. I will also let the military department reward me for my meritorious deeds, whether it is to alleviate some of the sins on my body, or to give me the status of a minister. ”

Yan Song is anxious, his son has designed so much in order to return to the court, what is the use of reducing the crime and giving a pension? He bowed, his tone affirmative.

"Long live, I will immediately send someone to ask Xiao'er about this matter, if he can come up with real evidence, what does Master Xiao say?"

Xiao Feng sneered: "That's really the sun coming out of the west, if he can come up with real evidence to prove that he has been in contact with Luo Wenlong, I will be the first to recommend Yan Shifan to return to the court!" ”

Yan Song was overjoyed and stared at Xiao Feng deadly: "A gentleman's word? ”

Xiao Feng said firmly: "If you don't count, let me become like Yan Shifan, the cart will be difficult to chase!" ”

Yan Song was so angry that he almost jumped up, but after all, the main purpose was achieved, so he didn't follow Xiao Feng anymore, and turned around and bowed his hand to the courtiers.

"All the adults have heard it, long live in front of the gentleman's covenant, let's see how Lord Xiao behaves when the time comes!"

Jiajing watched the confrontation between the two helplessly, and thought silently in his heart: If Yan Shifan really came up with evidence, the face of the junior brother would not be able to hang up.

But we can't break our promises. Maybe then give a petty official first, and let Yan Shifan start over.

The official letter of inquiry from the cabinet was sent by the fast horse, and he went straight to Jiangxi. But in fact, the pigeons in Yanfu have already taken off into the air, many times faster than horses.

The people in the court were panicked, especially the neutrals, and they couldn't help but be secretly worried.

Yan Shifan has committed so many crimes and has been kicked out of the court, if he can make a comeback, can Xiao Feng still withstand the counterattack of the Yan Party?
