Yongzheng had taken off his oil coat and deerskin long oil boots under the eaves of the shed, wore a camel-colored satin jacket, and did not have a gown on the outside, except for the bright yellow Wolong bag on his waist and the Canglong godson Zhengzhu inlaid on the six-in-one hat, showing his supreme status, the rest were all ordinary gentry dress. He glanced at Tian Wenjing, who was stunned, and Wu Ming, who was standing stupidly on the side, Xu Bu entered the shed, sat on the stool, and said after a long time: "What, don't you know me?" ”

"Hooray!"

Tian Wenjing suddenly woke up, prostrated himself on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "This ...... It was so unexpected...... The slave has been paying attention to the Di newspaper, and yesterday he also said that the master Luan Yu is still in Shandong, how can he ......" Yongzheng smiled categorically, about freezing in the rain, his face was blue and white, but his expression was quite quiet. He didn't answer Tian Wenjing's words, and said loudly: "Hengchen come in, you are weak and weak, you can't compare to Delentai and Fifth Brother Zhang, Wu Ming, can you get some food and do your best as a landlord!" Wu Ming is guarding the embankment here every day, and he has seen Yongzheng a few times, but Yongzheng is a micro-service, only when the rich and wealthy in the provincial capital go to Jiyong Temple to incense, and by the way to the riverbank to see the lively, until this time, he woke up from the fog of five miles, and kowtowed countless heads, and said in a panic: "You are long live?" It's hard work, the eyes of the slave are on the ass! …… The minion will do it - but it's too far away from the city, how many grievances will the lord have to be wronged for a while......"

"Okay, okay, don't you usually skip meals? Who asked you to prepare the Eight Treasures? Just make some hot soup. Yongzheng listened to what he said out of order, smiled and waved his hand to order him to quit. After Zhang Tingyu came in, he said again: "Tingyu sit down, Tian Wenjing also got up to speak." Zhang Tingyu bowed down and sat diagonally beside Yongzheng. He was not as clean as Yongzheng, the hem of his robe was soaked, and there was a small patch of water under his muddy boots. Yongzheng saw that Tian Wenjing was surprised, and said with a smile: "I was carried by Fifth Brother Zhang on his back, Zhang Tingyu came with him in the rain, you came on horseback, right? ”

"The emperor can't be here." Tian Wenjing has returned to normal. Listening to the outside, the river roar and the wind, rain, thunder and lightning were chaotic, and he immediately thought of his responsibility, bowed down and said: "You and Lord Zhang, please return to the city immediately, and the ministers will keep vigil here." ...... here" Zhang Tingyu's face turned blue from the river wind, and only then did he turn back to his color and said: "It doesn't matter, just under the embankment, there is the emperor's imperial boat moored, and the thirty official ships transferred from Luoyang are escorted. This embankment of yours is not strong, and Kaifeng City may not be as safe as here. The muscles on Tian Wenjing's cheeks twitched imperceptibly, and he said coldly: "Lord Hengchen, why do you see that my embankment is not strong?" ”

Yongzheng took over the topic and said, "You are suspicious yourself!" Your invitation to me into the city proves that you have little faith in this embankment! Tian Wenjing said: "Your Majesty, if you say this, the slave will be speechless - the minister is just in case!" ”

"Alas!" Yongzheng stood up and paced slowly, his voice was quiet and clear in the wind and rain: "'What if' can't be done, what I want is 'everything'." You haven't been to the river, you don't know how powerful the Yellow River is - it rains here, and the water rises downstream! It has been six days since I came to Kaifeng, and I live in the old city god temple less than two miles away from you. Today, I received an urgent report from Luoyang and Shaanzhou, and there is no rain upstream! Otherwise, how dare I set foot in your unpredictable land with the King of Ten Thousand Vehicles? ”

Yongzheng said, pacing to the eaves of the shed and looking up at the sky, the heavy rain poured down like a note, and the lightning flashed in the rolling black clouds, as if he was angrily attacking God's bright throne. After a long time, Yongzheng turned around and said, "I'm not picking on you. You haven't had a good meal or a good night's sleep since you took office. You are a clean official, a good official, and you do your best, I know this. Tian Wenjing's heart was hot, and he was about to humbly say thank you, but Yongzheng waved his hand to stop, looked at the candlelight that flickered slightly in the wind, and continued: "But half of your mind is devoted to civil affairs, and the other half is thinking about pleasing me, and you want to ensure that Henan does not collapse this year, so that other governors can't find fault with you, right?" ”

“…… Be! Tian Wenjing listened to these words, and after thinking about it, it was true, and his head suddenly sweated. But compared with the rest of the officials, Jue was unwilling to be convinced, and pondered: "Please ask the emperor to be clear!" However, the minister thought that if he did not make a decision this year, he would have more money to control the river after receiving money and grain this autumn, and he was really short of money at the moment...... because he had briefly mentioned his fundraising, but he had hidden the matter of borrowing money from the Yamen, because he had vaguely felt that the money was too easy. Yongzheng listened and looked at Zhang Tingyu, and said with a smile: "Hengchen, it seems that I have cleared up the deficit and am about to lose the reputation of a miser." ”

Zhang Tingyu bowed and said: "River control is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and the household department has regular expenses. Wenjing, if there are difficulties, you should have a fold to show it, or find the study to approve the household department. With your financial resources and your own strength, you can't do this well. Tian Wenjing pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, as soon as I took office, I gave two letters to Prince Lian in a row, asking him to take care of the household department. Maybe the time is short, and the eighth master can't deal with it in time, but I can't wait here, so I will raise some from this province first. Please forgive me for this idea. ”

"It is necessary to follow the original scale of Jin Fu and Chen Huang, and eradicate the yellow water from upstream to downstream." Yongzheng didn't want to bring the topic to Yun Xi, returned to his seat, and said: "I have been in the water, and I have also suffered water disasters, and I have soaked in the river for two days and two nights!" You can withstand this year's embankment, but you can't withstand next year, have you ever seen the Yellow River flood down? This embankment is like a soft-skinned egg, it will break when you poke it! With this rain, Lankao is about to collapse at this moment - so it must be cured at the root, not by the surface. ”

These words are exactly the same as what Wu Sidao said, Tian Wenjing couldn't help but swallow, thought for a while, and said: "In this case, the slave is trying his best to do it. It's just that Kaifeng is facing southeast, and the yellow water is flooding for a while, and the old water conservancy facilities have long been gone, and it is difficult to restore the scale when Jin Fu was alive. Therefore, the minions thought that the governor of the river should be re-established and the unified planning should be re-established in order to change the situation year by year. Please ask the emperor to take a clear look. "Do you still need to say this?" Yongzheng sneered, "The Yamen of the Governor of the River is located in Qingjiang!" It's just that there is no governor. But looking at the current rulers, fill all the silver into the river governor's yamen, is it done? Now that there is no capable person like Jin Fu, you can't call mediocre people indiscriminately fill the numbers - look at those filthy officials in the river yamen, they are not staring at the Yellow River, but silver! Feed the dog and know to take care of the home! - So it can only be coordinated by the imperial court first. The river yamen receives money and grain according to the money, just patrols, and the rivers in each province are managed by themselves, and the silver is raised by themselves as much as possible, which is really not enough, and the court subsidizes some, but I am afraid that it will be better. Tian Wenjing thought for a while, and said: "The slave has already inspected the post, and the Yellow River in eastern Henan is really very depressed, and there is no one for dozens of miles in some places. Can the imperial court migrate some people from Zhili Shandong, firstly, the land will not be abandoned for a long time, and secondly, it is to control the river, and the migrant workers also want it. I heard that the imperial court had rectified the flag affairs, why not send them to Henan to reclaim the wasteland and farm? ”

"You're saying this like child's play." Yongzheng Leng Sensen said, "That's how Wang Mang did it, and he lost the world!" The Yellow River's old path is thousands of miles of wasteland, forcing others to leave their hometowns. 'Reclamation', there is no place to eat and no place to live, there is no ploughing cattle to plough cattle, and there are no seeds for seeds. Are you Tian Wenjing an immortal? You can conjure up a manor and a courtyard to house them! Those banner people, holding monthly examples, are rich and rich in Fangshan and Miyun in Gyeonggi to plant ready-made land, and they are still holding back, fighting backwards, do you expect them to come and open up the wasteland for you? Tian Wenjing, a good student and a down-to-earth errand, do a good job of your governance here, govern the peace and wealth, and have a big tree, I am not afraid that others will not come to rest in the cold. Outsiders are not gentlemen, and Shouzhong is a husband - these are the two sentences I send you. For another person, I don't bother to tell him these truths! He spoke with a dry mouth, and took the cups on the table to drink, but they were empty, and put them down again. Zhang Tingyu called, "Delentai, go to the kitchen and see what Wu Ming is doing?" For so long, I didn't even take a sip of tea, it's too hard to say! ”

While he was talking, Wu Ming came in wet with a food box in one arm and a large teapot in one hand, and when he heard Zhang Tingyu's words, he hurriedly smiled and said, "Zhang Zhongtang, this is really impossible." The small Suri used the clear water in the sand nest on the Yellow River beach, and now it has become muddy soup when it rains. I had to catch some rain, and I had to use alum to cook well, so that the master and adults were wronged, and the little ones were not at ease...... "As he spoke, he opened the food box, and there were shallot pancakes, dumplings, cold vermicelli, and black fungus scrambled eggs layer by layer. There are also a few sea plates, all of which are steamed Yellow River carp, which is the only meat dish - one by one, it is also steaming and fragrant. Delentai and Fifth Brother Zhang, who were guarding outside, were already hungry, sniffing and swallowing saliva, but they were standing like nails as if they were nothing.

"Doing this in a hurry, Wu Ming is very stuttering." Yongzheng smiled and took a dumpling and said, "I'm really hungry—oh, what kind of soup is this?" "It turned out that the Wuming teapot was not filled with tea, and the sticky and hot seemed to be noodle soup, but it was gray-brown, and it smelled fragrant, but no one had ever drunk this soup." Wu Ming carefully poured a bowl for Yongzheng, and said with a smile: "This is a little wild scenery, the oil tea of Wuzhi's hometown of Xiaoye." Please taste it. Zhang Tingyu said on the side: "Don't use it first, and then use it after the small one tastes it." Yongzheng smiled: "That's it!" Will there be people in this place at this time? Besides, Fifth Brother, can they still send someone to supervise the kitchen under the kitchen? As he spoke, he took a bite of the dumpling, picked up the soup and scooped it with a spoon to taste it, and couldn't help but praise: "Good soup!" I've never tasted it! - How? ”

Wu Ming said with a smile: "Actually, it's not troublesome to do, the crushed peanuts, walnuts, and sesame seeds are fried in clear oil, and the refined salt and white noodles are constantly fried, and they are all cooked to the pot." The usual price is used, just boiling water and mixing well - we are in Hegong every day, and eating supper is this taste, saving time and effort to satisfy hunger and thirst...... "Yongzheng listened and drank, he had already drunk a bowl, pointed to the food box and said: "I will drink this oil tea." This fish, these snacks rewarded Delentai and the fifth brother. Wu Ming asked the cook to make some oil tea for me with all his heart, and copied the ingredients to the imperial dining room. I see, when you stay up late, it is better to use a bowl of oil tea than anything else - Zhang Hengchen, Tian Wenjing, you all eat a bowl! ”

Tian Wenjing seems to be dreaming tonight, everything is unexpected, it was a decent thing to meet the emperor on the river embankment, but he was also smashed when he was commended, and he was refuted one by one, but he was useless, and he was criticized bloodily but was rewarded with oil tea! His heart was like a mess, he couldn't tell what it was like, and he couldn't figure out how to deal with this unpredictable supreme. took the soup bowl and carefully touched his lips, and was about to say "yes", but Yongzheng asked, "Is Mr. Wu safe?" Tian Wenjing's hands trembled in fright, the hot oil tea burned his fingers and his heart hurt, and he glanced at Yongzheng who was careless, and he didn't even know what he said.

"Dismissed?" Yongzheng didn't seem surprised, slowly drank the tea soup and asked, "Why?" Is it a wooden clock, up and down, and a long hand? Or is the article bad - the recitals you used to make were all his handwriting, right? I can see it! ”

Wu Sidao looked like this person, Zhang Tingyu had never seen it. It's just that there are some rumors on and off. He has been a prime minister for more than 20 years, and he easily does not deal with his brother, and he has always listened to Qi Dongye's words and laughed and ignored them. Today, Yongzheng asked it in person, and only then did he know that the rumors in front of him were not for no reason. But I don't know why Wu Sidao didn't become an official, but he first entered Shanxi, and then entered the Henan shogunate, only as a master? Thinking about it, Tian Wenjing smiled and said: "Mr. Wu's article is good, and he never talks about the money and food of the lawsuit for others." He was the only one who was disabled, and he couldn't handle many things. Besides, if you don't spare it, you will have to pay 8,000 taels of silver a year. The slave put him on a bad relationship with other masters, and felt that he wanted too much money, so he had to send him back to his hometown. Mr. Wu himself was willing. ……”

"Such a good master, eighty thousand taels of silver is also worth it." Yongzheng said lightly, "Three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver!" If you don't use it, others may use it without knowing it—it has nothing to do with me, and you don't have to worry about it. I really know Mr. Wu very well - Li Fu invited me to see him yesterday, and when I talked about him, I said that there was a shortage of people around me. I'm just asking. "After that, I drank oil tea again.

Tian Wenjing has been blinded, and the Son of Heaven personally asks about life! And a mouthful of "sir" will never nominate the surname of Dao, this is really a terrifying "master"! At this time, Tian Wenjing really understood the meaning of Li Wei's vernacular letter. Wu Sidao is neither arrogant nor careless about himself, it turns out that there is such a big background behind him, and the sword curtain lamp is unpredictable! Suddenly remembered that Nuo Min's title of "the first governor of the world" suddenly became confused. Just thinking about it, Zhang Tingyu said slowly: "Mr. Wu is not an ordinary product, he is a peerless national soldier, please pay attention to it." He is disabled, it is inconvenient to be an official, he is doing something below, he is honoring his body, eight thousand taels of silver is very cheap, your other master, I am afraid that the secret collection is far more than this amount! I've been in love for so many years, and I still know a little bit about the cheats. ”

"Don't talk about it, it's a casual chat." Yongzheng smiled and took out his pocket watch to see that it was already Yin Zhengshi, and when he heard the sound of the rain outside, it seemed to be quieter, so he got up and stretched his body, and said to Tian Wenjing: "I will set off tonight, go downstream to have a look, and then go back to Beijing." Henan is an important place, but it is poor, and I entrust him to you, which has my own deep meaning. Not only should the Yellow River be managed step by step, but more importantly, it should be governed by officials. The officials are not clear, and they can't talk about anything, Xiao He has 3,000 criminal laws, and the officials have to handle it. I am in my forties, and I can't expect the Holy Grandfather to sit in the world for sixty-one years, but when I reign for one day, I will definitely abide by the last wishes of the first emperor and do this well conscientiously, worthy of future generations. Just do it violently, but now it can't be widened or tolerated. Combining leniency and fierceness is the way to govern officials. I don't want to learn from Zhu Yuanzhang, and the corrupt officials and ink officials will peel their skins if they catch it, but I don't want to learn from Zhao Kuangyin, and I refuse to kill a minister, which makes Wen Tian martial and frolic, and the country is upside down! As he spoke, he walked out slowly, and the eunuch Gao Wuyong, who was guarding outside, hurriedly prepared rain gear, but it was Delentai who was lying on his back Yongzheng, and a large crowd gathered to get off the ship in the rain. Tian Wenjing went straight to the shore and watched Yongzheng board the boat, only then did he know that the governor of Anhui, the governor of Shandong, Li Fu, and Fan Shijie were all on the boat.

Tian Wenjing returned to Kaifeng City in a sedan chair with eight people, and the sky was already bright. Last night a heavy rain came and went quickly, the water in the Longting area of Panyang Lake overflowed out of the shore, and there was only a line left in the middle of the embankment that was more than three zhang wide, he made a detour to inspect it, the water on the street overflowed the ankle in some places, and there were no knee-deep places in every household, and every household had men who braided their braids and hit their shirtless shirts and used copper basins to draw water from the threshold to the outside. There were a few collapsed houses, called the chief to ask, did not hurt people, Tian Wenjing felt a little at ease, and was thinking about returning to the governor's yamen, when he suddenly heard a woman in front of the sedan chair screaming and crying:

"Wronged...... Lord Qingtian! ”

The miserable cry was accompanied by trembling and whimpering, which provoked the drowsy Tian Wenjing to be agitated, and then listened to the officials in front of him shouting angrily: "Don't stop the sedan chair!" Over there is the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion, go to Kaifeng Mansion! The woman seemed to refuse to leave, and cried in the midst of the officer's angry shouting: "! You're so fierce! Today's Kaifeng Mansion does not have a Baolong map......"

"Live in a sedan chair." Tian Wenjing's heart moved, and he paused the bottom of the sedan chair with his feet, and the sedan chair fell, and the sedan chair was immediately soaked with muddy water. Tian Wenjing walked out of the sedan chair, and saw a woman in her thirties unkempt, covered in mud and water kneeling in front of the sedan chair...... My man has been unjustly killed in Huluwan for three years, and the murderer ...... Also know...... After three years of suing, no one avenged me......" She was in tears, incoherent, and choked with grief. Tian Wenjing looked at the surrounding crowd to see more and more excitement, frowned and asked, "What's your name, do you have a shape?" ”

The woman wiped away her tears with her sleeve and sobbed: "The people's woman Chao Liu, the letter was handed to the Kaifeng Mansion three years ago, and it was approved at first, but then it was refuted. and reported to Lord Zhentai, who called Kaifeng Mansion for trial, and the murderer was arrested and released, released and arrested. Pity my widow, take the child to the yamen for 30 acres of land and 5,000 taels of silver, and fill it in, and harden your heart to not give me justice...... On a rainy night yesterday, a group of people made trouble at my house again and snatched my son away...... My dear...... Where are you? God, where did you hit the thunder last night, why didn't you kill those who were stabbed a thousand times? Yes...... Hehe......" she said with her hands, and then she put her hands together full of mud and water, and looked up at the sky, as if looking for something, and her whole body was like a dead leaf shaking in the autumn wind, and even the people who were listening on both sides faintly heard the sound of sobbing. Tian Wenjing was also sad in his heart, thinking that he had just been promoted from Kaifeng Mansion, why hadn't he heard of this case in the past? Thinking about it, he asked: "I'm in Kaifeng Mansion, why didn't I see you come to complain?" Chao Liu cried and said: "A while ago, the people's wife had already lost her heart, her family was broken, and her property was gone...... I didn't think they would take my son again...... My son......! She was like a madman, staring at Tian Wenjing with white bright eyes, and her hands were nervously spasmodic and grabbed into the air. In broad daylight, under the bright sun, Tian Wenjing was shocked with goosebumps.

"I'll ask you about your case." Tian Wenjing knew that this case was strange, and secretly made up his mind, "You can go back with confidence, find a gentleman to write a letter and send it directly to the governor of the Yamen, Master Yao or Master Bi - where do you live now?" Chao Liu's pounded garlic price and kowtowed: "My lord, you Zhaoxue's case must be the prince of Wandai!" The woman lives in a relative's house in Nanshi Hutong, and she will hand the case to Master Yao tomorrow! ”

In the midst of people's discussions, Tian Wenjing calmly ascended the sedan chair and left, and did not come down until the governor's yamen Yimen. Just as he was about to enter, a servant said behind him: "Master Tian, please stay!" Tian Wenjing glanced at him and said, "Aren't you Li Hongsheng?" What's up? Li Hongsheng looked at no one near Zuo, approached Tian Wenjing, and asked in a low voice: "Do you really want to ask about this case or do you want to be approved by another yamen?" ”

"Hmm?"

"If you want to approve it to other yamen, the slave will not say anything."

"I will personally judge, personally ask, and personally judge!"

Li Hongsheng's eyes jumped, and he said: "If this is the case, this time I will send someone to arrest Chao Liu, and don't take him to prison, just detain him in the yamen." Otherwise, Ming'er wouldn't even be a person like her. Tian Wenjing stared at Li Hongsheng in surprise and asked, "Why?" Li Hongsheng lowered his head and thought for a long time before saying: "My lord's words are difficult to answer, this Chao Liu's husband Chao Xueshu was originally my cousin, and I still know a little about the details of this lawsuit." There are so many nobles involved here, and there are so many things to say - just now my words are sincere, and I also want to ask the adults for a reason. If you really want to take care of it, you have to guard against destroying the mouth of the bitter master; If you don't care about it, you don't complain about adults, but she is my cousin-in-law, and I will persuade her to go away and fly high. As he spoke, his eyes turned red, and he almost burst into tears.

"Oh?" Tian Wenjing thought about the unfinished meaning of Li Hongsheng's words, and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air; Obviously, this case involves a large number of officials in this province. Thinking about Yongzheng's words again, he sneered: "Henan is probably still the ruling land of the Qing Dynasty!" I'd love to see what this case is all about! In this way, you go to Chuanma Jiahua to the signing room, and then tell your cousin-in-law, don't go anywhere tonight, just ask someone to write a good letter and hand it over to Ming'er. I'll take care of everything else, go ahead! ”

Tian Wenjing didn't sleep all night, and dragged into the signing room with heavy steps. Wu, Zhang, Bi, and Yao were playing cards, and when they saw him come in, they messed up the game and got up. Wu Fengge said with a smile: "The wine sank yesterday, but I didn't expect Dong Weng to personally go to the embankment to inspect, we should have been accompanied." Someone had already brought tea. Tian Wenjing sat on the cool bamboo recliner with his ass, half-closed his eyes, and stroked the blue-shaved fontanelle with his hand and just groaned, but did not say a word, making the four masters look at each other. Shifting time, Tian Wenjing patted his head and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Oh, just now Che Fang Bo came to worship, because the Lord has not returned, we ask him to come back another day." Zhang Yuncheng glanced at Wu Fengge and said, "Lord Che Ming said to wait, we asked him to wait in the West Flower Hall." I don't know if I'm gone for a while. ”

"What did he say?"

"Nope."

"Please."

Tian Wenjing shook his spirits, got up and changed his clothes, put on a sapphire top, and sat in front of the desk with a peacock supplement on the outside of the robe. After a while, I heard Che Ming laugh outside: "Brother Wenjing worked hard last night, did he come back sooner or later?" Caring so much about the people, patrolling the river embankment on the night of a thunderstorm, I am ashamed! He said that the person had come in, because he saw Tian Wenjing sitting with a serious face in his robe, first stunned, busy and then moved, and performed the courtesy of his subordinates, but there was no smile on his face. When the four masters saw that Tian Wenjing was suddenly so big, they secretly wondered in their hearts.

"Dude, please take a seat." Tian Wenjing let his hand go, and said again: "Serve tea!" ”

Che Ming sat on the left side, holding the tea offered by Goshha with a plate with both hands, and he was secretly surprised in his heart. He is fifty-six or seventeen years old, with a chubby face, and there seems to be no wrinkles on his white skin, but his hair is half pale and his beard is neatly trimmed, and he is looking up - this person is eighteen years old Jinshi and first, even ascending Huangjia, first serving as the prefect of Caizhou, then transferred to the prefect of Yangzhou, Jiangxi Grain Road, transferred to Huguang, Sichuan, Shanxi, and Shandong. However, although there is only one level of difference between the feudal platform and the governor, one is a "senior official" and the other is a "feudal official", they can no longer cross the distance between them, and no one knows why. He carefully placed the tea on the coffee table, squinted at Tian Wenjing, and did not speak for a while. He needs to think about it, why did this Tian Wenjing, who was humbly and humbly let him polish Xuan'er in his yamen a few days ago, change his face overnight?

"Dude has been waiting here for a long time, so you will sit down." Tian Wenjing opened his mouth in an official tone, "You are in a hurry to see Benfu, what's the matter?" "Che Ming was originally a veteran jinshi, where can I see Tian Wenjing's face? But after all, he has been up and down in the sea for decades, and he is so sophisticated that he can't hold it anymore, because he coughed lightly, he said solemnly: "More than 300,000 taels of silver have been allocated to the treasury of the river workers. Zhang Hao, the provincial academic administrator, yesterday approved the Cultural Consultative Council, and this year, the imperial court has sent an edict to the court, so that the provinces can make preparations as soon as possible. The Temple of Literature and the Academy are in disrepair, and there was a heavy rain last night, and today I went to see it, and more than a dozen rooms collapsed, and the rest were in danger. In case the autumn test smashes the talents in various places, it is a responsibility that cannot be shouldered. It took 50,000 silver to get perfunctory, but the treasury couldn't move a tael of silver. Therefore, please see Futai, where does this money come from? As he spoke, he took off his glasses and wiped them and put them back on, looking at Tian Wenjing with a smile, with a look of "see what you do". Tian Wenjing also glanced at Che Ming with his gaze and said, "The message sent by the elder brother has already been read. In my opinion, Shandong's disaster relief and the use of grain and silver by the Beijing Division are urgent tasks. The one million required by the general was originally a backup, and since the war had been won, this money was not urgently needed. I also looked at the Temple of Literature and the Academy, and I am afraid that 50,000 yuan is a little less, so I will allocate 70,000 yuan to Zhang Hao from here. There is still a little shortage of river work, and I intend to draw three or four hundred thousand yuan from this silver, so that our affairs will be calm. ”

Che Ming stared at Tian Wenjing in surprise, moved his body uneasily and said, "This...... Adults know that this silver does not belong to our Henan Province, but to the household department in Henan. The Ministry of Household Affairs may not allow the allocation of 390,000 yuan! There is also a young general who crosses the border for entertainment, and he can't do it without 100,000 yuan - the deficit that he was just going to come back is suddenly nearly a million less. The court will investigate it, and the yamen can't afford it! He smiled.

"Of course, don't take responsibility for your vassals. I am the governor of this province, and I have exclusive powers over the military, civil, financial, and judicial departments. I'll take care of it. Tian Wenjing got up as he spoke, wrote a few lines before the case, and handed it to Zhang Yuncheng: "Tell them to use the seal, and hand it over to Lord Che to take back and act according to the order." As soon as he looked up, he saw Li Hongsheng taking Ma Jiahua into the courtyard, and said to Yao Jie: "You and Master Bi will go to the West Flower Hall to talk to Ma Jiahua together, and I will summon you later-probably for Chao Liu's case." ”

The four masters were already stunned when they heard it, they had not been with Tian Wenjing for a long time, and they only knew that he was diligent and hardworking, although he was cold and introverted and did not smile, but he was not arbitrary. I couldn't help but glance at each other, but they all did as they were told. Wu Fengge saw that he was overbearing and obedient in everything today, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief for this cash cow in his heart, and was thinking about how to turn around and redeem it, Tian Wenjing said to Che Ming, who was stunned: "As for the general's crossing, it seems that there is not so much need. General Nian is a Confucian general, he knows 'no offense in autumn', and he already has a proper military supply of the military department. What do you do for 100,000 silver? ”

"Back to adults." Che Ming made up his mind to ask this two-pole governor to plant a big somersault, because he saw Yao Jie handing over the silver transfer paperwork, took it and took a look at it, and said with a smile: "The official domain obeys the constitution." He suddenly had an extra mind: in order to stand firm, he must "speak first". Because he owed again, he said: "But I have to sincerely advise my lord, Henan is a poor province." In order to chase the deficit of the feudal treasury, Luoyang, Xinyang Mansion, Shangqiu and other places raided the homes of more than 30 officials, and four county officials committed suicide by hanging themselves - this money was not easy to come by! As for the generals, of course, they don't want silver. Even if 3,000 people stay in Zhengzhou for three days, plus we go to greet and send off, and eat a good feast, 20,000 silver is enough. I'll just do what I'm told. ”

Wu Fengge was scheming, and he had already seen that Che Ming had bad intentions, and seeing that he was going to cut down his own cash cow, he couldn't help but say on the side: "Zhongcheng, the few pieces of silver that Fang just said don't need to be touched for the time being. The cash silver on the river work has not been used up, and it is not too late to move the bank treasury when it is used up. As for General Nian, the friends in the curtain of the governor of Ganshan and Shaanxi all have letters, how to receive them, go back to Futai to see the letter and then discuss with Lord Che, how about it? As he spoke, his knife-like gaze swept towards Che Ming, and when he met Che Ming's gaze, the spark flashed away. Tian Wenjing thought for a moment, "It's okay, that's it." Dude, is there anything else? ”

"Oh, there's one more thing." Che Ming said with a smile: "Wang Jiaqi was sent to Xianpai to evacuate, saying that he left his post without permission, which is a misunderstanding. It rained heavily last night, and I called him to the yamen to discuss the matter of river defense, but he was not at home. This person is capable and old, and he has been a veteran river worker for many years. Nowadays, when employing people, I am afraid that I will make a mistake if I change to a novice at a glance. Please forgive me. As for Wu Ming, naturally he didn't wronged him, there is one less Si Zheng in the money casting division, and it is also a fat shortage, so make up for it, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Tian Wenjing sat quietly and listened to him, and said lightly: "Besides, my brother is tired!" "Talking about serving tea and taking a sip, according to the Qing system, since the pearl is the phase, the officialdom speaks, and the tea is just for show. Regardless of the host or guest, as long as the tea is served, it is considered "the tea is exhausted" and must say goodbye. Che Ming had no choice but to pick up the cup and dip his lips slightly. Goshha sang aloud from the sidelines:

"Serve tea and send it to guests!"

"Not anymore." Tian Wenjing stepped out of the signing room, stood under the dripping eaves, watched Che Ming bow and resign, politely and coldly said goodbye, turned around and said to Wu Fengge: "Mr. Wu, please ask Master Ma to come over - you go to inform Qinzhitang, everyone will go out together to see where Mr. Wu is, no matter what, please come back!" ”
