Chapter 168: The suppression of the Household Books
However, He Shen's high-sounding and righteous words at the moment are indispensable, no matter when or where.
Therefore, at this moment, Emperor Qianlong has long secretly remembered these words in his heart, waiting to be used to refute the ministers in the court in the future.
“……………”
He can come up with many similar reasons, but he can't say them as beautifully as He Shen.
However, the actual silver problem has not been solved, and all this is just words on paper. .
Therefore, even though Emperor Qianlong was satisfied and nodded his appreciation, he didn't say anything, let alone reward, just motioned to He Shen to continue.
“……………”
And seeing Emperor Qianlong's expression, He Shen also understood that he was going to do dry goods.
He Shen said: "Nowadays, most of the wealth in the world is in the hands of those rich people in the south of the Yangtze River, especially the salt merchants in Yangzhou. ”
After a pause, He Shen said: "Weichen thinks that it is okay, in the name of celebrating the birthday of the Queen Mother, he collects the silver for birthday from big businessmen all over the country, and the minister calls him the birthday silver." ”
"There are also local, those feudal officials, they can also bleed..."
Hearing what He Shen said so much, Emperor Qianlong was finally "convinced".
Thinking of his act of holding a birthday banquet for the Queen Mother, he can not only fulfill his filial piety, but also generate income for the country, which is really a great thing for fame and fortune!
This kind of thing, since ancient times, how many emperors can do it.
The more he thought about it, the more proud Emperor Qianlong couldn't help but smile proudly, and said: "Everyone in the world says that Heshen has unparalleled ability in the world to manage money and make money. ”
When He Shen heard this, he smiled and patted his ass: "This is not yet, because the emperor knows people wisely and employs people in a good way." ”
"If it weren't for the emperor's allocation, I'm afraid the minister would still be just a down-and-out noble."
Hearing He Shen say this, Emperor Qianlong became more and more proud, and for He Shen, a minion, Emperor Qianlong was extremely satisfied at this moment.
And Heshen's side, seeing such an arrogant emperor, is also very satisfied.
According to Emperor Qianlong's arrogance, He Shen may not even need seven or eight years to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty.
In such an era of difficult transportation and lack of means of communication, an ancient and decaying empire like the Manchu Qing Dynasty sometimes only needs a little external force to allow its long-accumulated internal contradictions to erupt at once...
And then this behemoth will collapse like a castle of sand built on the beach...
………
After Emperor Qianlong went to heart disease, he was very interested, and talked with He Shen for a long time, and He Shen took the opportunity to present the matter of Tibetan mineral salt and the excerpt of asking for merit.
The matter of Tibetan mineral salt is very important, and Emperor Qianlong said that he would consider it, but as for asking for merit, Emperor Qianlong only glanced at it and gave it his permission.
A few days later, He Shen destroyed the locust plague in Taiyuan, and this incident immediately shocked the government and the opposition.
As a result, He Shen was naturally promoted to the second grade of the left waiter of the household department, and then was given the important task by the household department Shangshu for the first time, and fully took over the work of the Queen Mother's Lijin Pagoda.
The household department is divided into two factions in the face of this matter, and Shen's original friends are naturally supported with both hands, but the household department is still in the first line, as well as the original household department Zuo Shilang and others, but they are very unhappy!
Especially the current Hubu Shangshu Huang Shihua, who is the most afraid and angry, has even begun to deal with Heshen.
“…………”
And the reason why Huang Shihua, the head of the household department, has this attitude towards He Shen now is entirely because He Shen may replace him in the next few years.
He Shen was only in his early twenties, and he became the left waiter of the second grade, and he will make great contributions in the future, I am afraid that he will not occupy Nestle and occupy his own position!
Thinking of this, Huang Shihua, the head of the household, was shocked, lest he lose his position.
“…………”
"Hmph, Heshen, this bastard, wants to build a golden pagoda for the queen mother, dream of it!"
"Let's not cooperate, let's see where he got so much silver!"
"Hey, Heshen, this kid, dare to slap our entire household in the face continuously, this time, let's call him good-looking!"
"He Shen, a little deflated three, still wants to pat the emperor's ass, we can't give him this opportunity."
“……”
Under the secret promotion of Huang Shihua, most of the officials of the household department suddenly began to become extremely unwelcome towards Heshen!
Even, a considerable number of household officials secretly agreed not to cooperate with Heshen, and they must make him look good.
On the side of Huang Shihua, the head of the household, he could see He Shen eating and choking, so he was naturally happy to see it and applauded.
“…………”
As for celebrating the birthday of the Queen Mother, the rules here are also very particular.
“………………”
It's not the first time that the Queen Mother has celebrated her birthday, and many of them are very dull and don't spend much silver, but haven't you seen Emperor Qianlong angry?
It's just that this time in the name of the queen mother's birthday, the struggle between the imperial power and the vassals caused such a big battle.
“………”
On his side, Huang Shihua, the head of the household department, has secretly contacted a number of local feudal officials through his relationship, and is ready to let He Shen suffer a big loss.
It's best to let this guy leave the household directly, then he can also breathe a sigh of relief.
That's right, after all these years, Huang Shihua, the head of the household department, no longer has hope for suppressing He Shen through formal means of officialdom.
Because, Heshen's methods are too powerful, and there is the support of Emperor Qianlong behind him.
He can only rely on other methods to deal with Heshen.
Of course, this matter can't be leaked out in advance, otherwise the fun will be a big deal.
The dignified court from the first-class official, the boss of the household department, can't deal with the people under him with the formal means of officialdom, and has to use other partial methods...
Once it is spread by someone, it is simply to put your face on the ground and step on it...
Moreover, with the current Qianlong Emperor's favor for He Shen, as well as the sensitivity of the Queen Mother's birthday, after Emperor Qianlong learned about this matter...
The dismissal and dismissal of officials are all light, maybe he and the family behind him will have to be assigned to Ningguta in the future, and spend the rest of his life in the bitter cold land outside the pass.
“…………”
The other side.
On the side of Heshen, since he became the second-in-command of the household department, he once again felt the feeling of being isolated when he first entered the officialdom a few years ago.
However, in the face of this tricky situation, on the surface, He Shen did not react in the slightest.
He only turned a blind eye to the cold violence of most of the officials in the household department, and did not want them to help.
