Chapter 267 Cai Que: Returning home in fine clothes(2/2)

The establishment of the Quanzhou Shipping Department was not finally established until the first year of Yuanyou in history.

This can be regarded as one of the few good things that Sima Guang did during his administration that benefited the country and the people.

How could Zhao Xu miss such a huge financial opportunity?

Therefore, the Quanzhou Shipping Department not only had to be built but also had to be presided over by the prime minister!

There is no more suitable person than Cai Que.

Because Cai is indeed from Quanzhou!

There is no need to say more about the rural character of the Fujian people.

Asking Cai Que to take charge of the Quanzhou Shipping Department, Zhao Xu believed that it would be a complete success.

"In addition... Cai Xianggong went to Quanzhou as prime minister and served as Fujian observer. He could also decide on the Fujian Salt Law and Tea Law..."

"Wizijing's farce must come to an end!" Zhao Xu couldn't help but feel a little angry as he said this.

The case of Fujian Road transfer envoy Wang Zijing broke out after the case of Wu Juhou, and public opinion was aroused for a time.

Later, Zhao Xu sent Li Ding to Xinzhou, and the censor at Yushitai calmed down for a while.

It was not until the ministers of the old party entered the DPRK that they again paid attention to matters in Fujian.

Zhao Xu bought Wang Zijing so much time.

What is this asshole doing with all this time?

Try your best to drag others into the water!

In the past few months, Zhao Xu had read no less than ten memorials written by Wang Zijing and Quanzhou magistrate Chen Chen against each other.

Wang Zijing accused Chen Kai of colluding with Quanzhou merchants, colluding with each other, and corrupting the law.

Chen He then said that Wang Zijing had harmed the people, doubled the law, and brought disaster to the country and the people.

The two people blamed each other.

What everyone said was reasonable.

Under normal circumstances, neither Zhao Xu nor the two palaces would be able to figure out the real truth.

However, in modern times, Zhao Xu specialized in archeology.

For Song Dynasty archeology, Quanzhou is a must-visit place.

And how can you not go to Quanzhou Museum when you arrive in Quanzhou?

As a result, everything about Wang Zijing was revealed in Zhao Xu's eyes.

Including this guy, who has been obstructing the establishment of the Quanzhou Shipping Department just to make money for himself - Quanzhou people have remembered these things for nine hundred years!

Although few modern people know this, you can go to the Quanzhou Museum and listen to the commentator mention that Wang Zijing obstructed the establishment of the Shipping Department. The gnashing of teeth is definitely not fake!

To be honest, Zhao Xu gave Wang Zijing enough opportunities.

After all, this person was a close confidant of the late emperor. If he were to be brought down again, the late emperor would not look good.

Others may wonder, who did the late emperor use?!

Wu Juhou was still an upright official after all, so who was this Wang Zijing?

But Wang Zijing is so stupid!

I'm still fussing about it till now.

If Zhao Xu hadn't been concerned about the late emperor's face, he would have already told the two palaces to send a censor to bring Wang Zijing and Chen Yan back for interrogation.

This time, Cai Que, the new party tycoon, simply came from heaven to deal with him.

Cai Que is very particular about how to deal with people.

After listening to Zhao Xu's words, the two palaces thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Empress Dowager Xiang then said to the Empress Dowager: "My Majesty, the bride thinks what Sixth Brother said is reasonable... I don't know what your Majesty wants?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Zhao Xu's eager expression and said with a smile: "The officials have said yes, so it will definitely not be wrong!"



Cai Que respectfully accepted the imperial edict.

Then he followed the usual practice and asked his family to stuff a piece of gold into the big mink Liang Weijian who came to read the decree.

As soon as Liang Weijian weighed the weight of the gold, he smiled happily - at least there was ten taels!

"Mr. Liang..." While Liang Weijian was happy, Cai Wei, Cai Que's son, quietly came over and asked, "Does the unknown official and the Cisheng of the Two Palaces have plans for my father?"

Liang Weijian thought for a while and felt that it would be okay to tell the matter in advance, so he said: "So that the Xianggong and the Yamen know that not only the Xianggong's imperial edict is granted, but also the royal letter written by everyone..."

"Even the place where our husband will go is decided by everyone!"

The Cai family was immediately overjoyed.

Especially Cai Que's wife, her excitement was beyond words.

Cai Que could not hide his excitement.

As long as the Holy Family lasts, Cai Chizheng's outing this time is just a vacation.

Just go on a trip.

A year or two later, he still has his place in Bian Jingdu Hall!

Then Liang Weijian said: "Everyone's holy intention is to send a judge to Quanzhou as your minister, concurrently as the Fujian Road Observer, and to promote the Quanzhou Shipping Department!"

"The Cishengs of the two palaces have agreed, and they will announce it after the husband enters the palace!"

Everyone was stunned.

Sent to Quanzhou?

Cai Que even swallowed his saliva, his inner excitement beyond words.

Quanzhou!

That's his hometown!

This is a homecoming!

Note: Historically, the Quanzhou Shipping Department was established at the insistence of Li Chang - yes, that was the one who quit the job when he heard that he was asked to investigate the market changes with Lu Jiawen during the Xining period. This is usually considered

Confucian officials like the Donglin Party who don't know how to do practical things.

There is an important reason why Li Chang was able to promote the establishment of the Quanzhou City Shipping Department without being restricted by the old party - Wang Zijing, who opposed the establishment of the City Shipping Department, is a leader of the new party!

Of course we must support what the enemy opposes. Not only must we support it, but we must also provide policies and preferential treatment!

Note 2: Wang Zijing’s greed and terror are beyond imagination.

But I won’t write it in the book, because it would be easy to write too much, and also because the protagonist wants to keep his father’s secret. Everyone only needs to know that this guy prevented the establishment of the Shipping Company because he wanted to collect a fine.

Note 3: Historical figures have always had two sides, including Wang Anshi and Sima Guang.

The more I read history books, the more I feel this way.

There are no purely good people or purely bad people. Everyone has his or her own political spectrum and stance.

Sima Guang is Sima Niu, and Wang Anshi is Ao Xianggong. This is something that history has determined.

The only difference between the two is that Sima Guang has no ability and experience to actually do things, while Wang Anshi has strong abilities, but his shortcoming is that he is easily trusting of others and eager for success.

Almost all New Party ministers have this problem.

They all want to achieve results in a short time, and even know that problems will definitely arise over time, so they will go ahead and get on with it.
Chapter completed!
