Chapter 134: Helping Heshen (Part 1)

The letters related to cashmere matters with Heshen were also sent together with the good news that Heshen was promoted again.

In the first month of the 41st year of Qianlong's reign, Yinglian became the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue. His grandson-in-law, Heshen, who was only 26 years old, was appointed as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue (Manchuria).

This is far from the peak of Heshen, but Zhao Liang knew that this position was the starting point for Heshen to truly enter the court.

Some people later said that Heshen's outstanding performance in the Guangchu Department's management of Buku, which made him favored by Qianlong. Although this statement is a bit unreal, it is always more trustworthy than Qianlong's statement that Heshen was reincarnated as his beloved concubine.

Zhao Liang is about to set off for Beijing again.

He would definitely not be as free as last time as the seniors who brought cashmere textiles with him. It would be impossible to go to Yimeng again.

However, Zhao Liang didn't care. Wang Lun still had enough food, so he was not ready to go there at this time.

He just needed to take the opportunity to give Yan Liu and others a batch of powder, which was very easy.

Although the Qing Dynasty has strictly investigated sulfur, saltpeter, especially the Grand Canal line, and implemented it very strictly, sulfur saltpeter is still easy for Zhao Liang to get it.

He guarded Zhoujiakou, a commercial important place, and was hooked with Xiedian on his left and hugged Zhuxian Town with his right hand. No matter how strict the imperial court regulated sulfur saltpeter, Zhao Liang would not be short of it.

Wanhe Trading Company, under Liu Shusheng, has also developed considerably in the past two years. The business not only spread to Shedian and Zhuxian Town, but also entered the Huaihe River Basin along the Shaying River.

Who told him to hold most of the blacksmith shops in his hand?

The latter's iron knife, iron pot, shovel, sickle, iron axe and other items have become famous in Zhoujiakou.

Even though the price is comparable to that of other blacksmith shops and workshops, the business will be very prosperous due to its superior quality.

Zhao Feng, who is in charge of Zhao Ji Iron Shop, and the entire Zhao family's status has also risen.

Wanhe Trading Company almost took away 80% of Zhaoji Iron Shop's export production. With this punch product, it quickly opened up in Xiedian, Zhuxian Town and other places.

After all, iron products are essential products in human life. If they are placed everywhere, there is a market.

With Wanhe Trading Company and Zhao Ji Iron Shop, Zhao Liang would not have stolen many military supplies from Shuhede's army, but he was still far from digesting them. He didn't even have a knife to go. He would not be nervous when guarding Wanhe Trading Company and Zhao Ji Iron Shop!

At least it can meet the needs of Wang Lunjun!

The latter guards the Yimeng Mountains and needs more food, salt and oil, rather than hot and cold weapons.

The five small seedlings in southwest Henan need even less nutrients in daily life.

On the eve of Zhao Liang's arrival in Beijing, he received the latest information sent by Peng Gongchang. In the past, the five seedlings had developed well, and now they have all escaped from the situation of "a dozen or so people, seven or eight guns". The Yao'an army, the largest number of people, has doubled its strength and has almost reached the seventy.

But even so, these five teams are still not worth mentioning when they are added together.

In the short term, they were a group of wandering soldiers who could not become a climate. With the support of Dashan and Zhao Liang, they jumped out from time to time to attract the attention of the Qing court and made trouble for the latter.

With the strengthening of the Qing army's strength in southwestern Henan and the bravely building of militia townships in prefectures and counties in southwestern Henan, the actual damage (impact) caused by these teams to the Qing Dynasty will only become smaller and smaller.

They tied them together and multiplied them by ten, which was not as good as Yan Liu and others who were active on the line of the canal.

The Grand Canal is the lifeline of the Qing Dynasty. Yan Liu and the others were stabbing the lungs of the Qing Dynasty. Even if there were not many people who succeeded after the first time, they would be painful enough whenever they were put into practice.

Taking advantage of this winter, the latter has set up inspection departments in all prefectures and counties along the canal, and has dispatched many horse troops to station them separately in key areas, patrolling and guarding along the Grand Canal every day.

Liang Xingzhou also received internal information. It is said that starting this year, when the canal melts, the Qing court will set up interception networks on the Grand Canal. The officials will be on duty!

It can be said that threats such as thunder under the water and Dragon King Cannon under the water were solved from the root.

But no matter what, this also means that the Qing Dynasty had scrapped more troubles in the canal transportation and consumed more costs. This may have made a small hole in the Qing court and slowly filled the blood of the Qing Dynasty.

In March, the spring is blooming, and Zhao Liang came to Yanjing City again. He rested at the Songhe Tower and immediately sent the post to Hefu.

The post was also given a generous gift and a group of heads. The former was the etiquette, while the latter was what Heshen needed.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has begun to prepare. It is said that a piece of land was directly enclosed in Nanhaizi, and a batch of goats were specially raised.

Heshen did not wait the next day, and after he put the yamen home that night, he changed into casual clothes and took Liu Quan to Songhe Tower.

Zhao Liang put out a table of Huaiyang cuisine for it, and went to the two Huaiyang chefs at Longlu intersection. After studying these days, they achieved remarkable results. After some "improved" Huaiyang cuisine, the taste has increased by more than one level.

This time, I passed the results to the Songkran Tower in the capital, which added another layer of glory to the Songkran Tower.

But these are all trivial matters.

Helping Heshen "make achievements" is a major event.

As far as he knew, Heshen was very dismissed by his colleagues in the Ministry of Revenue. The new Shangshu Feng promoted the title to regard Heshen as a favorite minister and a slander, and did not take him seriously at all. Even if Yinglian stood behind Heshen, it would not do!

Even Yinglian is not a bad guy.

He was the first-class official who was hereditary, the fifth-generation grandson of Eyidu, one of the five founding ministers, the nephew of the Grand Secretary Neqin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, the minister of the Office of the General Administration of the Internal Affairs, and the eldest son of Alicun, the Minister of the Second Ministry of War.

Since the third-class guards were appointed as the First Class Duke, they were promoted to the Minister of Guards, appointed as the Minister of War, and the Chief of the Mongolian Commander of the Lanqi. They served as the Minister of Counseling, Deputy General, Prince Shaobao, and were appointed as the First Class Duke, and the Minister of Revenue. They participated in the quelling of the Jinchuan Rebellion in the Jinchuan Rebellion in the Junggar Rebellion, and the famous officials of the Qianlong Dynasty who were in the Ziguang Pavilion.

Yinglian was all younger brothers in front of Fengxuan’s umbrella, so what is Heshen?

That's wrong. How could Heshen, who had just entered the Ministry of Revenue, agree to be promoted because of a small letter test?

In later generations, Zhao Liang read Heshen’s Duniang Encyclopedia and had a name that he remembered deeply - An Ming, which really couldn’t be forgotten for a long time.

The famous corruption king almost fell into his hands as soon as he emerged...

And An Ming was just a small test, and his work was just to rise to the eighth rank of the official.

The six ministries in the Ming Dynasty all had department offices, with two officials, who were from the ninth rank, who were in charge of supervision, scrutiny, writing, and book books. They were established in the Qing Dynasty, and were promoted to the eighth rank in the 30th year of Qianlong. One person from Manchu and Han rank, and were in charge of cashier writing.

Compared with Heshen’s current official position, what an inconspicuous small official is this? Although his functions seem to be quite important, he is really too low-level.

But such a small official told Heshen, who had just entered the upper level of the court, almost fell into a big fall.

An Ming gave Heshen a gift, hoping that he could be promoted to the rank of the rank of the minister. Heshen did not accept bribes, but he assured An Ming that he would recommend to the Shangshu Feng to promote An Ming. In this way, An Ming was used by Heshen and followed him in every way. Heshen then really recommended An Ming to the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank.

But unfortunately, An Ming received a letter from his hometown just after he was promoted. His father died and his family asked An Ming to go home to attend the funeral.

According to the Qing Dynasty system, his parents passed away and had to go home to mourn for three years (27 months). An Ming had just been promoted, but he didn't want to go home to mourn, so he concealed it. However, the Shangshu Feng promoted the title, and Feng promoted the title and the Minister of Rites Yonggui impeached Heshen and sheltered An Ming.

If Yonggui's son Yi Ajiang had not had a good relationship with Heshen and secretly informed Heshen of the matter, Heshen would have fallen into a big fuss.

But isn’t this kind of thing ultimately because Heshen was attacked in the Ministry of Revenue?

If he really has the power, how could he care about a mere written test?

And that test is just that no matter how brave you are, how can you dare to hit the threshold of the Minister of the Secretariat for a small eighth-rank official?

What a big face he has?
