Chapter 39: Dust with Light? Complicity!
"You've been in the court for so long, why is your popularity so bad?" Li Qing was puzzled.
You were worse than me in the past, right...... Yu Qian slandered and explained: "Officialdom is profit-seeking, if you want to win over officials, you must seek certain benefits for them, so that someone will wave the flag for you;
And the reopening of the maritime trade by the imperial court has touched the interests of the vast majority of officials, and they will no longer follow me. ”
After a pause, "In normal times, I am sure that I can mobilize some officials, but in this matter, I... I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. ”
"Okay." Li Qing smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he could understand.
Yu Qian is not Yang Shiqi, which also determines that he cannot become a top minister.
But it's nothing, Yu Qian is not the protagonist this time, and the size of the contribution does not have much impact on the overall situation.
Yu Qian asked, "How do you think they will deal with it?" ”
"It's hard to say, but it's nothing more than those two sets." Li Qingdao said, "Either the yang is against the yin and the national policy of the imperial court trade is postponed indefinitely, or the matter is directly done." ”
"What's going on?" Yu Qian asked.
"For example, unrest, or local uprisings." Li Qing said lightly, "It's not the first time they've done this. ”
Yu Qian was stunned, and couldn't help but think of the Tang Sai'er uprising in the past.
At that time, he had not yet entered the court, but after entering the court, he heard Li Qing talk about the hidden secret, saying that it was an uprising, but in fact it was to prevent the capital from being moved.
Uprising...... Yu Qian's expression was solemn, "This matter can be big or small, does Mr. have a clever plan?" ”
"The sky can't fall." Li Qing didn't care much, "Now that the people can eat enough, even if they make trouble, they won't make a big mess, so there is no need to worry too much." ”
"Having said that, but ......," Yu Qian asked, "is there a way to solve the problem without making a mess?" ”
Li Qing rolled his eyes, "You overestimate me too much." ”
"There's always a way, sir."
"......" Li Qing said helplessly: "This time is different from the past, it really harms their interests, it is impossible for them not to resist, if they can obey, the court situation will not be like this;
People are selfish, and how many people can reach the moral standards of saints? ”
Li Qing sighed: "The imperial court reopened the maritime trade, and the hundred officials should obstruct it, this is an inevitable thing, don't have a trace of luck." ”
Yu Qian was silent.
Li Qing walked for a while, feeling that it was not as comfortable as riding a donkey, so he turned over on the donkey, "What, you go slowly, I'll go back first." ”
Yu Qian: "? ”
I don't sit in a sedan chair anymore, walking with you, and you're doing this to me?
"Mr. ......"
"Drive~!"
"......" Yu Qian's face was full of black lines: I won't look for you to drink at night.
~
When he returned home, Li Qing took off the reins and returned the donkey to freedom.
The donkey has always been very well-behaved, and consciously went into the wooden shed, ate some forage and fell asleep.
Compared with the donkey of the production team, it is lucky that it does not have to work all day, but at the same time, it is also unlucky, after all, the donkey of the production team does not have to listen to people's chatter.
Is... Horses are ridden and donkeys are ridden.
Li Qing boiled a large bucket of hot water, took a hot bath comfortably, and then began to simulate the change.
He is not an idealist, he has been in Daming for so long, and he has already understood the group of officials and gentry, all of them are full of morality and righteousness, but in fact, his belly is tight, and there is almost no good stubble.
Of course, there are still good officials in the civil bureaucracy, but they are very rare, and most of these good officials cannot become the climate, for the simple reason that a few people will always be excluded by the majority.
Turbidity is the norm, and if you want to blend into this circle, you can't clear it; If you think about it, you can't melt in.
There is a saying in officialdom that 'the same dust with the light', but in Li Qing's view, this is 'the same stream and the same pollution'.
"Although the little emperor has been on the throne for nearly eight years, it has only been a matter of two years since he really started to take power, if I were those people, how would I deal with this 'crisis'?" Li Qing will be substituted into the civil official group and simulate it in his mind.
Finally, it is concluded that Fu. There will be chaos in the building!
The reason is simple, Fu. It is built very close to Japan and the Ryukyus, and once official trade cooperation is reached, it will be a top priority.
But light is a blessing. The establishment of a rebellion was not enough to threaten the little emperor to compromise, after all, the Beijing army that conquered Siam and Burma had returned, and the suppression of the turmoil was in hand.
"Except for the blessing. Where else to build? Li Qing pondered for a long time, and in the end, he said uncertainly: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang won't also be in chaos, right?" ”
These two places also have ports for trade with Japan, so it is not impossible for them to have trouble.
"There are quite a lot of gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are also many rich gentry, if there is really chaos, they will also be affected." Li Qing analyzed, "They may not be able to do this kind of thing that hurts the enemy by 1,000 and loses 800 themselves, but they also have to count this possibility." ”
Li Qing estimated the risk, but still felt that the victory was in his hands.
Without him, the three battalions of the Beijing Division are not vegetarians, although there has been almost no war over the years, and the combat strength of the three battalions is no longer at its peak, but it is definitely more than enough to suppress the turmoil.
"The responsibility of the Beijing battalion is to defend the Beijing division, and you have to leave thirty or forty thousand ......" Li Qing never considered the guards from beginning to end, and with the local guards, it is very likely that there will be a situation where the work will not be effective.
There is a lot of collusion in the local area, and often the richer the place, the lower the soldier's combat effectiveness.
Li Qing went through it from beginning to end, and finally came to the conclusion: Even if only the Beijing battalion is used, and 40,000 Beijing troops are left to defend the Beijing division, even if there is chaos in the three provinces, the three battalions can still suppress the turmoil.
"The advantage is mine!"
Li Qing let out a breath and smiled easily.
This is a crucial step, after this time, the resistance of the imperial court to go to the West will be greatly reduced; At that time, the imperial court will regain its former hegemony over maritime trade.
In the future, the Daming treasury will be more and more full!
Money is as important to individuals as it is to the country.
The rise and fall of dynasties is directly related to whether the treasury is rich or not.
…
Before you know it, evening falls; The orange-red sunset exuded a soft halo, dyeing the window paper red, Li Qing stretched his waist and was in a comfortable mood.
Got up and took off the big coat hanging on the wooden frame and draped it on his body, Li Qing was ready to go out for a pleasant time.
As soon as he went out of the door, he saw Yu Qian coming over with wine and food.
"Sir, two whole glasses!"
"......" Li Qing didn't want to drink with him, but he didn't want to pick people up, "Let's go, go into the house." ”
~
The wine and food were put on the table, and the two of them ate and drank at the same time, and no one mentioned state affairs, just simply drinking.
Cup after cup.
Soon, the jar of wine brought by Yu Qian was drunk, and Li Qing was not happy, so he moved out a large jar of sweet potatoes to burn.
The degree of sweet potato burning was very high, and it didn't take long for Yu Qian to drink too much, and his cheeks were red.
Li Qing said, "You can eat vegetables." ”
“…… I just drank in the face. Yu Qian forcibly saved his respect.
Li Qing said with a smile: "What's the matter, Ming'er won't go to court?" ”
"There's nothing going on with the military department these days." Yu Qian poured himself a glass, "It's still early, it's still no problem to go to court tomorrow." ”
"Come on, do it." Yu Qian raised his wine glass, very interested,
Li Qing smiled, 'Dangchang~' touched him, drank the wine in the cup, and said curiously: "Is there any happy event today?" ”ωWω.GoNЬ.οrG
"Why does the gentleman ask?" Yu Qian was puzzled.
"Today's you don't fit your style in the past." Li Qing said with a smile, "Drinking and making mistakes, haven't you always put political affairs first?" ”
Yu Qian said with a smile: "This time is different from the past, Mr. is back, my pressure has plummeted, and after the imperial court reopens trade, the Ming Dynasty will return to its former peak again, and I will be more relaxed in the future." ”
Li Qing stared at Yu Qian in surprise, but found that Yu Qian was looking at him fixedly, although his cheeks were red, he was not drunk.
"Why are you staring at me?" Li Qing was a little weak.
Yu Qian said seriously: "Sir, in fact, I can see it. ”
"See?" Li Qing was puzzled, "What do you see?" ”
"Today's Li Qing is the Li Qing of the past." Yu Qian shook his head and said.
Li Qing was silent for a moment, but said, "You read it wrong." ”
Yu Qian shook his head and wondered: "Why did Mr. change his identity?" If you use your original identity directly, many things will be solved easily, and you don't need to bother at all. ”
"You're wrong."
"No, I'm not wrong." Yu Qian said seriously, "Although I don't know why Mr. is not old, I am very sure that you are the Yongqing Marquis back then." ”
After a pause, "I'm not really drunk!" ”
Li Qing was silent for a moment and chose a showdown: "Okay, I am Li Qing;
But... You're still wrong. ”
