Chapter 298 One wave after another

The amount of Guanghua silver increased by one million taels. Tiannian did not kill himself from various sources of knowledge. All officials and ministers in the court, scholars and literati in the wild, were regarded as teenagers, and they would be silent after a while. Perhaps it was a joke.

Unexpectedly, in less than a month, Jiang Zhen’s 300,000 taels of silver was actually planned. Now, it’s hard to say who is a joke.

No one dares to interrupt if he is confiscated and takes out stolen goods. If he is considered to be implicated, it will be a vain. Anyway, it is not a long-term solution.

But there are still 40,000 taels that Wang Tong came to remediate the sea border. This is the real trouble. If you have a little understanding of the sea border, everyone who understands a little bit of it knows what is going on.

I know but can't say that sea boats carry goods to the north to sell them. This is the usual business of wealthy families in Jiangnan, but it is a banned business and cannot be tolerated by national laws.

Wang Tong's rectification of the sea border was just to make them less profitable, but if he made a frank advice and made this matter clear, he would be completely banned and let everyone have no money to make.

Whether it is to make less money and offend more people, or to eliminate more people in other people's business, everyone will make up the calculations. After weighing the pros and cons, they can only watch Wang Tong "remediate the border".

As for the ships that can travel north to Tianjin from Nanzhili, Xijiang and even Fujian, no one cares about it.

The sea affairs were the tiger's butt, and it would be eaten by the tiger after touching it. In Jiajing, Zhu Wan, the governor of Xijiang, wiped out the pirates on Shuangyu Island in Xijiang. The next year, he was suspended and forced to commit suicide by taking poison. Before his death, he wrote a memorial saying, "If the emperor does not want to die, the people of Yuxi will kill me." This was when the blew thugs were the most violent to harm the southeast. Why did the blew blew blew thugs and the armed merchant ships of Franji be suspended and killed? It was because his actions greatly damaged the interests of the Southern Shizhong merchant class, and even the Emperor Jiajing was affected by it.

This was the case in the Jiajing year. By the Wanli year, the situation was even worse, and it was even more impossible to touch. Otherwise, why would Mr. Zhang only make a fuss about land taxes?

He, Wang Tong, a thousand households, is willing to do this, and it is better to do it. If he does it, he will be lucky. If he cannot do it, everyone will be happy to see it. But in order to attack Wang Tong, the matter on Tianjin Weihai will be spread out. Who knows if it will cause any other right and wrong? If someone says something about sealing the port or sending troops to wipe it out, that person who can't get it well will be unlucky. Everyone turns a blind eye and pretends to be confused. Just treat it as Wang Tong there to rectify the sea border."

Li Wenyuan's private house has moved from a dilapidated house on the south side of South Street to a better place. He is now promoted to a high position, but he has no one to serve him in the house, so he is still busy with his own life.

The house is clean and there are few customers. Today, someone came to visit. Zhenxinglou delivered a few dishes early and helped the arrangement and left quickly.

Li Wenyuan's guests were nothing more than Boutique and Lu Wancai. Rather than being guests, they were meeting each other. Before it was dark, the two of them had already arrived.

After sitting down, Li Wenyuan first talked about his investigation of Yang Sichen, and Lu Wancai and Bu Yi added additional verification in turn.

"This person is lucky. He was sent to Lord Wang by Shen Shixing. We little adults have good luck and have a bright future!"

Lu Wancai smiled and joked that Yang Sichen's identity is really not complicated. It is really simple to inquire with the current intelligence power of the Public Security Bureau. After the three parties verify, there was no conspiracy. Instead, it was even more certain that Zhang Siwei took action to overthrow Zhang Han.

Li Wenyuan nodded and said:

"I'm sorry Lord Lu wrote a document tonight, and I'll send someone an urgent letter to Tianjin Weiba tomorrow. When Lord Wang was in the capital, Lord Lu and his father-in-law could still help. When he got there, there was only Eunuch Cai who could read and write articles. It would be a lack of help. If Yang Sichen could use this, he would really be able to help.

Gao Yi looked at the sky outside the window and said in a deep voice:

"Our family will return to the palace later. If there are a few things in the palace, I will bring a letter to Lord Wang. The firearm workshop on Tianjin Wei will be handed over to Lord Wang. The Sili Supervisor has approved the approval of the bonus. In addition, the name of the governor's seas has been decided. In the future, Tianjin will actually be turned on and off.

Lu Wancai on the side smiled and hit the palm of his hand with a folding fan. He spoke:

"It's all good things, it's all good things. As usual, this firearm workshop is the heterodynamic of my father-in-law. What's the name of Lord Wang?

"It is said that it is the firearms ambassador of the Ministry of Works, and as usual, the Ministry of Works will send a chief officer to him."

"Oh? Eunuch Gao still remembers the director Ren Yuan?"

But Lu Wancai went around in a circle, and Gao Yi nodded. The head of the Ministry of Works came to help a lot of times, and everyone knew each other. Lu Wancai said with a smile:

"If Eunuch Zou can speak well and acquaintances are easy to do, then the headman is a ignorant. If he goes to Tianjin, he may be able to help the adults."

“This is not difficult

The three of them have already had a lot of things with Wang Tong. A small relationship, one prospers and one loss, and one loss, are closely related, so everything is understood. Wang Tong is good, and of course it is for their own good."

"I asked you to work in the East Factory, not to let you run in the kiln during the poisonous day. If something happened in Tianjin, Long Sui Ye and Zhang Cheng both knew about it, but our family didn't know what the hell is the Thousand Houses in the East Factory who are in charge of the execution of Qianhu?"

Outside the imperial city, in Feng Bao's private house, Feng Bao was furious about his nephew Feng Youning. Feng Bao had no children and treated his nephew Feng Youning as his own son.

Although he was scolding him there, Feng Youning was not afraid, but just explained with a grievance:

"Uncle, Xiang Yan, who was arranged by the Dongchang in Tianjin Wei, is from Xue Zhanye. Xue Zhanye's people listen to Zhang Cheng's words, and his nephew can't help him. Besides, isn't it because your uncle always tells you to ask your nephew to stop interfering in Zhang Cheng's affairs?"

Feng Bao slapped the coffee table beside him and said shrillly:

"I told you to interfere less, and it's not that you don't care about Tianjin Wei's affairs. The firearm workshop caused our family to be scolded by the Emperor Long Sui and the Empress Dowager. I also wanted to put my face down and say how many people have been lost with Zhang Taiyue." Wang Tong was too unaware of the matter. With Tianjin Wei's troubles, I immediately arranged for someone to go to Tianjin to keep an eye on it!"

"Yes, my nephew will make arrangements now."

Feng Youning agreed in fear and trepidation, turned around quickly, and was stopped by Feng Bao after taking one step, and said in a deep voice:

"If you send someone to Tianjin, don't talk to others, you can't even tell Xue Zhanye."

Feng Youning quickly answered

After several decrees about Wang Tong were issued, many people in the capital set off for Tianjin Wei. There were also people from the East Factory, some from the Jinyiwei, and even the Ministry of Justice. However, these people did not inform their colleagues in Tianjin. The trip was quite secret.

On August 14th, Emperor Wanli went to court early. He had to stay in Wenyuan Pavilion for a long time than usual.

This is also a common practice. It is the case on the fourteenth and thirty-ninth day of each month, because the first and fifteenth day of each month are grand dynasties, and all officials must be gathered in the Zhongji Hall. The emperor and his ministers wear dresses, and the emperor accepts the ministers' worship on the imperial throne. This time, all the fifth rank in the capital must participate, which is very large.

But this is just a court meeting in etiquette and does not discuss political affairs, so you have to do two days on August 14th. August 15th is the Mid-Autumn Festival. This fifteenth is different from the past. There is a tradition of watching the moon on the night of August 15th. There are often no things in the palace and outside the palace.

So on August 14th, the emperor and his ministers spent a lot of time in Wenyuan Pavilion.

On weekdays, the imperial study room is divided into inside and outside, outside, outside is outside the courtyard gate. The inside is inside and inside, and the eunuchs and guards outside the courtyard gate are all personally selected by Zhang Cheng. They were reported to Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao for confirmation.

The only person who was stationed in the inner courtyard was really normal. The study was cleaned by other eunuchs, but it must be under the surveillance of Zhao Jinliang and an Dongchang man.

Before the cleaning time, only Zhao Jinliang could be in this yard. Some letters and memorials that had to be presented to Emperor Wanli were also placed on the desk by him.

Different status and status, Zhao Jinliang's position in the palace has also risen. The place he lives now is very close to Zhang Cheng's house, and it is also a unique courtyard. There are also two older palace maids living together. To put it bluntly, it is to serve his daily life.

Eunuchs of Zhao Jinliang's age should study in Neishutang in the morning or afternoon, but Zhao Jinliang works as a job in the imperial study room and can't get around the time. The teaching in Neishutang depends on when Zhao Jinliang has time and takes the initiative to come over to teach.

It was already a bit hard for Zhao Jinliang, the ten-year-old son and the house to maintain and clean the weekly maintenance and cleaning.

But Zhao Jinliang never treats others arrogantly and is taciturn every day. He works diligently, never complains about hard work, and does not need his own status to help. Because Zhang Cheng told me that the fewer people come to this yard, the better. If the superiors give instructions, he will definitely do it. Zhao Jinliang knows that all this is his own opportunity, and must grasp it firmly and not throw it away.

On August 14th, almost half an hour after Emperor Wanli went, someone sent a letter from Tianjin. This time it was not a secret letter, but Wang Tong's report on daily situations and several ideas. Zhao Jinliang restrained what he wanted to read and placed the letter on the desk.

As soon as I went out, I heard the voices of eunuchs and guards outside the courtyard greetings:

Have met Lu Wang Qiansheng

While speaking, a young man with jade carvings walked into the yard and said with a smile: "The third volume of Zhu Zi's language category, I heard that the emperor's brother had a privately engraved book from Song Duanzong at that time. Borrow it and take a look."
