Wanli Restoration, in fact, when it came to this point, many people felt that the Ming Dynasty was strong enough, and they could stop and ease down a little, and wait for the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Even Zhang Juzheng felt that he could take a little rest, the census opened in the tenth year of Wanli, the abolition of lowly status, and the law of returning land were all being carried out in an orderly manner, and everything in the Ming Dynasty was so orderly, which was several times better than the best situation that Zhang Juzheng envisioned.

Zhang Juzheng is drinking tea in the Quanchu Hall, this is the Miyun Dragon Tribute Tea rewarded by the palace, from Wuyi Mountain, Fujian, a pound of tea cakes is worth two taels of silver, which is a kind of big red robe, Zhang Juzheng really has no research on tea, he thinks that the tribute tea made by the Northern Song Dynasty Shenzong is not worth the price, and two taels of silver can buy four stones of grain in Beijing.

The palace rewarded, and Zhang Juzheng did not shirk it.

He tidied up his clothes and picked up the anecdote on the table.

Lin Fucheng went to Tianjin Wei, and after watching the ship's parade, he began to vigorously advocate it, from the craftsmen of the shipyard, to the Daming official factory, to the top and bottom of the Ministry of Industry, and finally Wang Chonggu, who blew it one by one, and Wang Daokun, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was ashamed, and Wang Chonggu was embarrassed to talk to people about the praise of the easy news.

Daming culture is still very subtle, Lin Fucheng touted it that day, and Wang Cifu couldn't stand it.

The latest issue of the free news was sent to Zhang Juzheng with the cold wind.

Zhang Juzheng opened the anecdote, and stood up as soon as he saw the title, this Lin Fucheng began to write his travelogue to Baoding again!

But whenever you write a travelogue, it's not good, the existence of this Lin Fucheng is like a fish in the throat, and the book "Easy Stories" in front of him is like mocking Zhang Juzheng, the new deal has been implemented for ten years and has a fart! Where the Ming should be rotten, it is still erosive.

Zhang Juzheng took a deep breath and comforted himself repeatedly, the contradictions were explained one after another, the Ming Dynasty was in the cycle of rising, there were good and bad, things had to be done little by little, and they had the courage to accept criticism from others, etc., after doing a good job in psychological construction, Zhang Juzheng sat down and opened the free news.

After reading two lines, it is two eyes and one black.

In addition to the three words of confusion, the last thing Zhang Juzheng can see now is the four words of easy news.

"This Lin Fucheng!" Zhang Juzheng slapped the table and sighed.

You Qi had already finished reading this issue, and said in a low voice: "Sir, do you want to find someone and beat him in a sack." ”

A good person like Hai Rui will not die, a bad guy like Wang Chonggu who sees the wind and makes the rudder will not die, only a stupid person will die, this is probably the core proposition of natural selection, Lin Fucheng is the kind of person who is a little stupid, everyone is singing praises and praising the greatness of the Wanli Restoration, Lin Fucheng is also blowing, but Lin Fucheng is repeatedly piercing the scene of flowers.

"No need, people are like this, worldly, sleek, reluctant, cowardly, and drifting with the crowd, people are always choosing a way of life that is beneficial to themselves, which is not wrong, but I never blame others for their bravery, just as I didn't dare to use Hai Jui at the beginning, but I never think Hai Jui did something wrong." Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and stopped the idea of swimming seven sets of sacks.

Daming does need someone to point out the shortcomings of Daming, otherwise the hidden dangers will accumulate deeper and deeper, and when it is revealed, when it is reflected in the court, the general trend has gone, and there is no possibility of recovery.

There are a total of 12 counties in three states in Baoding Prefecture, and Lin Fucheng went to five counties, this time in Wanzhou.

There is a Wang family in Wanzhou waist mountain, one of the foreign businessmen in the Sai family, walking outside the Sai all the year round, not the Jin merchants, the main destination of Wang's trade is Dongyi in Liaodong, but with Li Chengliang's development in Liaodong, Dongyi is constantly compiling the people into households, and some shady transactions are impossible to do after all.

Wang's family, Wang Duxing returned to Wanzhou from Liaodong.

Baoding Mansion completed the Qingzhang in the fourth year of Wanli, and some acres of land were turned into official fields because the cadastral was unclear and abandoned for a long time.

In the second year of Longqing, the entire North Zhili Nine Prefectures and Two Prefectures, all Dingkou were only 720,000 people, the real land was vast and sparsely populated, from Yanshan to the Yellow River, the huge North China Plain, only 720,000 people lived.

At that time, there were many, many people who migrated to the south, and some of the land deeds were scattered, and this part of the land became official land.

There are about 7,000 acres of such fields in Baoding Prefecture, that is, 700,000 acres of official land.

When Wang Duxing returned to Wanzhou from Liaodong, he went back as a successful and famous person, built a mansion in Waist Mountain, and became a well-deserved powerful man, and what is incomprehensible is that even Wang Duxing, who does not do business, still maintains a good life, and the family property is constantly expanding.

After Lin Fucheng arrived in Wanzhou, he began to understand this Wang family, but everyone in the local area was very taboo about Wang Duxing's family history, and he didn't even talk about it, and Lin Fucheng offended the Xia family in Renhe, and he also picked up the experience of the Xia family's Haikou, so he was targeted.

It really gave Lin Fucheng a clear understanding, Wang Duxing rented 4,000 hectares of land from the Yamen of Wanzhou, Baoding at a price of 15 wen (flying money) per mu, and leased it out at 4 yuan of silver per mu per year, 4 yuan of silver is about 800 yuan, and this lease is as long as 30 years, 30 years, two generations.

"Baoding really wants to be promoted, Lin Fucheng is not familiar with the place, how does he know the price of this lease, and he also knows the details of thirty years? After finishing the state, no one was willing to talk about it, how did he Lin Fucheng know? ”

"This is all the old disadvantage left by the predecessor, the previous Wanzhou governor An Jiashan, now in Jinhua, Zhejiang as the prefect, An Jiashan is a native of Xinzhou, Shanxi, and the Jin Party's descendant Fan Ying period at the same time, but there is Wang Cifu in the DPRK to rely on, and Baoding does not dare to move."

Zhang Juzheng analyzed this anecdote, others just watched it for fun, Zhang Juzheng looked at the situation, he understood the routine of officialdom too well, and the local officials in Baoding all had a tacit understanding to tell Lin Fucheng some things that were difficult for ordinary people to know.

Lin Fucheng is like a sheep that has broken into a wolf pack, and many thunders that were inconvenient to light in places in the past were handed over to Lin Fucheng to do, and if they were blown up, they would also kill Lin Fucheng! If it hadn't been blown up, Lin Fucheng would only earn some fame, but all the officials in Baoding could be promoted.

Lin Fucheng was used everywhere he went, not because he was sheltered by Huang Gongzi of the General's Mansion, I am afraid that he would have been put in a sack long ago.

Of course, Zhang Juzheng knew that there was no Huang Gongzi in the General's Mansion, only the Ming Emperor was just walking in his name, and it was a good thing to be used by others, which was much better than worthless.

Wang Duxing got a lease of 400,000 mu for 30 years from the previous governor An Jiashan, the cost is almost negligible, and he can get at least 160,000 silver per year, which is really uncomfortable for Baoding.

Zhang Juzheng carefully read Lin Fucheng's anecdotes and found that this is indeed the case, these 400,000 mu of land are not all in Wanzhou, but in various places in the twelve counties of Baoding three prefectures, in Wanzhou, only less than 20,000 mu of land has been leased in this way, and it is divided into multiple leases to reduce risks.

Did all the 160,000 silver fall into the hands of Wang Duxing?

Obviously not, the big head is definitely not what Wang Duxing can eat, most of them are given to the Jin Party, there are An Jiashan, Liu Zihua, Han Ji, and Fan Yingji, a very typical nest case, the Jin Party is stealing food up and down.

After talking about Wanzhou, Lin Fucheng discussed the passage of Daming Guantian, such things not only happened in Wanzhou, Baoding, but in the north and south of the Ming Dynasty.

"What's going on with Fan Yingqi?" Zhang Juzheng's brows twisted into a pimple, there is actually a fan Yingji here!

Zhang Juzheng's impression of Fan Yingqi is still very good, but in the past few years, Fan Yingqi seems to be sliding into the abyss, and this corruption is so corrupt that Wang Chonggu can't stand it and can't tolerate it.

"Fan Yingzhi is sick." You Qi briefly talked about what he had heard, Fan Yingqi's toothache, sometimes good and sometimes bad.

"Tsk, interesting." Zhang Juzheng closed the Joyful Story, this issue of the Joyful Story, from beginning to end, reveals some strangeness.

Lin Fucheng's Guangde Bookstore is sheltered by His Majesty, but also by Wang Qian, Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, naturally has no time to pay attention to the operation of Guangde Bookstore, most of the time Wang Qian is in charge, Wang Qian, as the son of the leader of the Jin Party, not only does not cover the hole, but makes this travelogue appear in a grand manner, and even sells everywhere.

What does the Jin Party want to do? There is no doubt that the Jin Party is in the elimination and internal metabolism.

You must know that in the second year of Longqing, Gao Gong was the first assistant, and he never dismissed any officials from Shanxi, even officials from Shaanxi, Henan and other places who took refuge in Shanxi, and it was precisely that time that made the Jin Party completely the biggest force in the DPRK.

And now, the Jin Party led by Wang Chonggu has taken the initiative to metabolize internally, and without any external causes, the blade is inward.

The last time Wang Chonggu purged the party, it was because the Ming Dynasty was crusading against Bansheng and recovering the Hetao, which was a major event in the sky, Wang Chonggu was afraid of burning himself, and it was understandable that the blade was inward.

"Wang Chonggu really doesn't care about the Jin Party anymore, that's why he's so ruthless." Zhang Juzheng's fingers tapped a few times on the table, and annotated some of the Xiaoyao anecdotes, the emperor likes to read the "People's Daily", "Gewu Bao", and "Xiaoyao Yiwen", and never hid it from the Taifu Emperor, Zhang Ju was afraid that the emperor would not understand the cattiness, so he personally annotated it.

Lin Fucheng can be a tool, but His Majesty must not be a tool.

Zhang Juzheng felt that Fan Yingqi was weird, he was not a bone minister, but also a follower, how could this be like this? Where did the cashier Fan Yingying go?

Wang Chonggu didn't even care about Fan Yingji, he was abandoning the Jin Party and becoming the leader of the Labor Party.

It is necessary to know that the official factories and factories in the Ming Dynasty, especially the government factories in the coastal areas, all rely on the acres of land replaced by the ship as a supply, and the craftsmen of the official factories are well treated, and they need the grain produced by these acres to be supplied, and the ships have replaced 3 million mu of land, which is the lifeblood of the Labor Party.

Therefore, he would rather kill Fan Yingji, Wang Chonggu would not allow it, and Guantian was leased at a negligible cost and leased to others.

Zhang Juzheng's judgment is not wrong at all, Wang Chonggu's coldness is a little colder than the cold winter of the Ming Dynasty.

Everyone knows that the design of the Dragon is really ingenious, it is loaded a lot, and it runs very fast, from Tianjin Wei to Java, it only takes two months, which is thousands of miles away, and no one is excited, but Xiaoyao Yiwen turned his pen and wrote a travelogue again, which attracted the attention of many people.

In particular, the reaction of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was particularly fierce, and Hai Rui had already begun to organize people and went to Baoding to investigate the matter.

Fan Yingqi was panicked, he hurriedly ran to the Quanjin Hall, hoping that the Jin Party leader would protect one or two, Wang Chonggu turned him away three times, and the fourth time, Wang Chonggu walked out of the Quanjin Hall, instead of letting Fan Yingqi go in.

This is very ruthless, when Gao Qiyu came up with the Tianxiang test, Zhang Juzheng let Gao Qiyu enter the door.

"Wang Cifu save me!" As soon as Fan Yingzhi saw Wang Chonggu, he hurried for help without any hesitation.

"I hurt you, and you let me save you? Everyone in Beijing knows that my son gave Lin Fucheng a platform, and they all said that my Wang father and son are His Majesty's dogs, and Lin Fucheng is Wang Qian's dog, don't you know? Wang Chong's ancient saying made it clear that it was very cold, colder than the ice of the cold winter wax moon.

Fan Yingqi also scolded Wang Chonggu for being His Majesty's dog.

Fan Yingqi was stunned for a moment and said, "Wang Cifu is clear, I really didn't take much money." ”

Wang Chonggu sighed deeply: "Is it a matter of taking more and taking less?" You and Wang Jiaping are both protégés of Ge Gong, if it weren't for this relationship, I wouldn't have come out to see you today, you and Wang Jiaping presided over the exam, and you didn't do anything after receiving the money, Daming Jingtang knows, no one says anything about you, look at what Wang Jiaping is doing now, what are you doing? ”

"At the beginning, the governor of Sichuan, Luo Yao, was unfavorable, the official was impeached, Luo Yao was transferred, I snatched the governor of Sichuan from Zhang Juzheng's hand and gave it to you, what about you, before you went to Sichuan, you felt that the place was barren, and you were unwilling in every way, and you only had two months to take office in Sichuan, so I begged to be transferred back to Beijing."

People are all going to change, the two protégés of the Jin Party, Fan Yingqi and Wang Jiaping, the two of them are the second generals of Huha, not a bone Zhengchen, but there is a bottom line, Wang Jiaping has been a governor in Guangzhou for several years, and the foundation laid by Yin Zhengmao and Ling Yunyi has been carried forward in the hands of Wang Jiaping.

What is Fan Yingzhi doing? is taking bribes, and is bless treacherous.

"Wang Cifu, the disciple is willing to dedicate all the income he has earned over the years to the second assistant, and please save me!" The cold sweat on Fan Yingqi's forehead came out, in Fan Yingqi's opinion, he took the money and didn't give it to Wang Chonggu, so Wang Chonggu was so ruthless.

Fan Yingqi is Ge Shouli's protégé, and after the dispute over the leader of the Jin Party, Fan Yingqi has not recognized Wang Chonggu as the party leader, but now something happened and he came to the door.

It's really the old dog of the king who has nothing to do, and the second assistant of the king who has something to do.

Wang Chonggu flicked his sleeves and said hatefully: "You don't know what's wrong until now!" Do you really think that if Lin Fucheng doesn't go to Baoding, this matter will not be exposed? I'll appease you, bless you, and you'll be all right? You have such a big head on your neck, is it paste or water in it? ”

"Lin Fucheng is a pen, what can he know? This is the dissatisfaction of the local officials in Baoding, if you really do those things, can the Baoding local government be indifferent? Wang Tingzhan, a subordinate of Zhang Juzheng, how did he impeach the same Chu Party, and it was a descendant of Luo Yao? ”

"Luo Yao is from Huguang, and he is Zhang Juzheng's disciple!"

"Stupid!"

Wang Chonggu has some expectations for Fan Yingqi, this matter is big, it can be bigger than the sky, in fact, it is small, it is not a big deal, it is a corruption nest case, if Fan Yingqi is lost, Wang Chonggu can also go to His Majesty to ask for mercy, but now the official is dismissed and famous, and when the limelight passes, it will be revived again.

But Fan Yingqi's performance made Wang Chonggu extremely disappointed, he didn't know what was wrong, and he didn't even think he was wrong, but he just thought that he didn't give enough money, which made Wang Chonggu disgusted.

"If Wang Cifu refuses, then I can only go to Yuanfu." Fan Yingqi gritted his teeth and said.

Wang Chonggu was directly laughed at angrily, and said with a strange face with a smile: "You go, just go." ”

Zhang Juzheng's Chu Party and Zhang Dang are not garbage recycling stations, they want any garbage, just like Fan Yingzhi now, Zhang Juzheng glanced at him, and he Wang Chonggu lost, if Zhang Juzheng was so easy to deal with, he Wang Chonggu would have driven Zhang Juzheng out of the court a long time ago!

Gao Qiyu gave up his life and went to Taixi, Zhang Juzheng refused to forgive him, the emperor wanted to promote Gao Qiyu, and Zhang Juzheng finally gave a Honglu Temple Shaoqing.

But whoever makes a mistake will end even more miserably with Zhang Juzheng.

After Wang Chonggu finished speaking, he left directly with his hands behind his back, the door of the Quanjin Hall slowly closed, Wang Chonggu stood in the courtyard in the door, stunned for a long time, and then shook his head.

Wang Chonggu was very angry about this sentence at the time, but now that he looks at it, these sixteen words are all true.

People change, and some people scatter as they walk.

"Dad, it's cold." Wang Qian took a piece of straw and put it on Wang Chonggu, Wang Qian is indeed a rebel, but when it comes to the Jin Party's descendants, Wang Qian still discussed it with his father.

"Do you still give Fan Yingji a chance?" Wang Qian asked curiously.

Wang Chonggu hesitated for three days, hesitating whether to give Fan Yingqi a chance, put Fan Yingqi in Suiyuan, and do things for a few years, but there is no help.

Wang Chonggu's original plan was to dry him for three days, let him know what it was like to be frightened, and then send him to Suiyuan to do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Wang Chonggu tightened the big gun on his body and said, "Who can I save?" I can't even save myself, I rely on the Holy Favor to protect me, he doesn't save himself, what can I do, as soon as people are old, they will be indecisive, they will miss the old, I read the old feelings of Ge Shouli, and I also have the intention of protecting Fan Yingji. ”

"Oh, yes."

It's not just Zhang Juzheng who is a flesh-and-blood teacher, willing to protect his subordinates, and really come forward to protect something, Wang Chonggu is getting older and older, and he is starting to miss the old a little, so he originally planned to give Fan Yingqi a chance, even if Fan Yingqi has nothing to do with Wang Laogou, and Wang Cifu has something to do, if Wang Chonggu doesn't plan to give Fan Yingqi a chance, he won't go out to see him.

After all, this matter was in front of the emperor, because Hai Rui didn't make much effort, so he investigated the whole thing clearly, and the materials were all prepared in Baoding, and even the few trees in the Wang family in Waist Mountain were clearly heard.

"In other words, did this Wang Duxing start by selling steel fire feathers?" Zhu Yijun summoned Wang Chonggu and asked for details, Wang Chonggu was the secretary of the Criminal Department.

Steel fire feathers, steel is armor, iron is arrow clusters, fire is firearms, feathers are arrow shafts with feathers, and there are many arrow shafts outside the plug without feathers, these are heavy objects, it is forbidden to go out of the customs, and these things are reversed, which is naturally an absolute profiteering.

Iron pots, salt, tea and other things are light things that can be traded, and if they are reversed, Zhu Yijun will not ask in person.

"Back to Your Majesty, that's true." Wang Chonggu said helplessly: "Speaking of which, it was also a matter of the Longqing period, after Li Chengliang leveled Gule Village, he tightened the pass, and he came back when he couldn't do business." ”

In those days, smuggling was very common, and there were people smuggling artillery out of the plug, and it was not unusual for anything to happen in that era when demons were dancing wildly.

"But after this Wang Duxing returned to Baoding from Liaodong, he was still the same, tsk." Zhu Yijun put down the song in his hand, looked at Wang Chonggu and asked, "Fan Yingqi, he has taken 500,000 silver in the past six years, what does Wang Cifu plan to do with it?" ”

"The minister originally wanted him to go to Suiyuan to experience the experience." Wang Chonggu told the truth, he and His Majesty have been together for so long, and telling the truth is the way to survive.

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Yesterday, after Fan Yingqi left in front of Wang Cifu's door, he went to find Mr. for shelter, You Qi didn't know the severity, and let Fan Yingqi run away. ”

"Huh?" Wang Chonggu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled with some relief, he thought that Fan Yingqi was forcing him to comply, but Fan Yingqi really went.

From the standpoint of the Quanchu Guild Hall, what is the difference between this and scolding Zhang Juzheng for being a thief's nest of filth and filth, and Zhang Juzheng is a thief leader? You Qi beat him away, which was polite.

"I can't go to Suiyuan, it's not that I don't give face to the second assistant, it's that he doesn't have a face." Zhu Yijun took out the file and said: "He still has something to do, not just Baoding, of course, in these cases, it is not excluded that the local government is settling the old accounts and deducting the accounts on Fan Yingzhi's head, but ninety percent of the things in it are indeed instructed by him." ”

Supervising hundreds of officials is the business of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Hai Rui did not tell Wang Chonggu too many details.

Not only Baoding, but Shaanxi, Shanxi, Beizhili, Henan, there are similar things happening, there are indeed places after hearing about it, immediately deduct the old accounts of the past on Fan Yingzhi's head, but most of them are indeed Fan Yingqi's work.

Wang Chonggu shook his head again and again after reading the dossier and said: "The minister is really guilty, he really can't even understand the money, he stabbed such a big basket, and he actually collected 700,000 silver, which is not as good as Chen Jingbang's money." ”

Traitors are generally very capable, because they don't have any skills, they can't climb to such a high position as traitors, obviously Fan Yingji can't reach traitors, and they don't understand the money they collect, which really lowers the average quality of traitors.

It is a very cumbersome matter to collect money clearly, and Wang Chonggu is very experienced.

Wang Chonggu frowned and said: "The minister doesn't understand, Your Majesty, before Fan Yingzhi, no, the minister still has high hopes for him, he is not willing to be in Sichuan, and the minister also raised him back to the court." ”

"Didn't Wang Cifu notice his abnormality?" Zhu Yijun asked rhetorically.

Wang Chonggu recalled and said suspiciously: "He is indeed different from the past, he has lost a lot of weight, and his spirit is a little excited, that kind of weird excitement, his cheeks are fleshless, and his eyes are deep-set, which is completely different from the suave scholar back then." ”

"yes, he's changed, he's smoking opioids, at first because of a toothache." Zhu Yijun handed the diagnosis record of the chief medical officer of the Liberation Institute to Wang Chonggu, sighed and said: "Yu Shuai and Tan Sima, when they are dying, they are in pain, and they refuse to take this thing for pain relief, even if they know the harm of this thing, even if they are coming, they will not be contaminated a little. ”

Toothache is not a disease, but it hurts to kill, Hai Ruicha found Fan Yingqi's abnormality, asked a major medical officer to diagnose, and determined that Fan Yingqi was smoking opium for analgesia, which was an opening obstacle caused by wisdom teeth, and the wisdom teeth were crooked and buried in the flesh, which hurt so badly that Fan Yingqi sought opioid analgesia.

The Interpretation Institute said that opiform is physiological destruction, and it has been fulfilled in Fan Yingqi, Fan Yingqi really went to find it, it can be found, the price is expensive, two thousand silver opium balls, for Fan Yingqi, it is actually not expensive.

Zhu Yijun still underestimated the impact of the opening of the sea on all aspects of the Ming Dynasty, Luzon and Yuanxu Islands are planted in large quantities of opium and light mushrooms, and the opening of the sea brings not only a large amount of silver, but also a positive impact, and contradictions are really everywhere.

Fan Yingzhi was a good person, and he was ruined like this.

The Wanli Emperor in history hid in the harem and smoked opium, ignoring the government for 30 years, and half of the 100 officials in the world were short, which is the terrible harm of opium.

"The minister has no doubts, handle it according to the law, send it to the Liberation Academy, and try to quit first." Wang Chonggu said dejectedly.

Fan Yingzhi was completely ruined.

Fan Yingqi is the champion of Jiajing for forty-four years, and the Jin Party's expectations for Fan Yingqi are far higher than Wang Jiaping, but because of toothache and analgesia, he contracted such a bad habit, what can Wang Chonggu do?

"This thing still has to be banned, even if Huimin Pharmacy prescribes medicine, it must be cautious and cautious, how much is used, when it is used, there must be a clear limit, and it must not be bought and sold legally under the banner of seeing a doctor." Wang Chonggu was even more in agreement with His Majesty's ban.

At the same time, opioids and other analgesic and hallucinogenic drugs should be strictly managed as ordnance.

"It's already being done." Zhu Yijun looked at the case file and said with conviction.
