Honglouchun

Seeing that Jia Qiang just sneered and refused to agree, Xiangyun walked up to Daiyu, hugged her arm and kept winking.

While Daiyu was amused, she also had a different sense of honor in her heart, and said softly to Jia Qiang, "Then... invite the two of them to come in and meet? After dinner, go east."

Jia Qiang smiled and said, "You've already spoken, what else can you say?"

After all, I went to Dongfu to pick up people.

Daiyu couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile, and let Xiangyun bury her face on her arm and rub it for a while, yelling that she was rubbing goosebumps...

……

Imperial City, Daming Palace.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

As spring approaches, the weather gets warmer at noon.

Sitting behind the case, Emperor Long'an looked at Lin Ruhai's complexion, smiled, and said, "It seems that the past few days have been cultivated pretty well, and the messy things in the household department have not disturbed Ai Qing's heart."

Lin Ruhai smiled slightly and said: "The household department was originally held in their hands, like an iron bucket up and down. The minister came back from Yangzhou, and with the help of the emperor's Longwei, he barely opened a crack and held the Siwu Office in his hands." It’s just that, in addition to the Secretary’s Office, there are also South and North Warehouses, Supervising Destroy Office, Current Month Office, and Yinyin Office, as well as Qianfatang and Baoquan Bureau, which are in charge of making coins, and the three treasuries of the household department, which are in charge of the treasury. The storehouse and yamen for storage and water affairs, as well as the clan's salary office, current trial office, meal and silver office, donation office, and inner warehouse are all in their hands, not to mention the Fourteenth Cleaning Department. They unite and empty My lord, it turned out to be an easy task."

Emperor Long'an said solemnly: "Aiqing, although the time is still short, it's not good to be in a hurry, but Aiqing should try to get the household department in his hands as soon as possible! At the very least, the silver in the household department's third treasury Ku, you have to clear it up early. Otherwise, if you finally recover the shortfall, the bastard will turn around and spend it. How can there be such a reason? I also heard that Yuanwailang from the clan's salary department came to the door several times. Have you negotiated with me?"

Lin Ruhai chuckled, and said: "Your Majesty, why worry about this for your ministers? That generation is just hiding a knife in a smile in the officialdom, killing people with a knife, and beating cattle across mountains. Please be at ease, Your Majesty, it is not easy for you to take care of everything in your day. Let the emperor worry about something, the minister has been practicing for nothing these years. There are a total of nine principals at the Sanku, although the minister only contacted three of them and advised them to abandon the dark and vote for the bright. However, as long as you can take care of them They are not allowed to move the bank treasury, and others are not in a hurry. The minister has passed the official document with the seal of the Ministry of Households to use the treasury silver. Those who exceed 800 taels are not allowed to open the treasury without the seal of the minister. The minister is waiting Let them release the treasury of the household department privately... As for the people in the salary department, I have also been sent back by the minister. I am ordered by the emperor to be in charge of the household department, so how can I let the minister handle everything in person?"

Emperor Long'an couldn't help laughing happily when he heard the words: "Aiqing has experienced many years of experience, and has comprehended the way of being an official, which is really amazing! It seems that the rules of not going to the state and counties, and not entering the Taiwan province still make sense Yes. Alright! I will leave the affairs of the Ministry of Households to Ai Qing, and I will not ask any more questions... By the way, has Ai Qing heard the rumors in the market recently?"

Lin Ruhai was ashamed and said: "I have no way to teach my disciples, and let such trivial things in the market alarm the emperor. Only the minister knows it, it is really..."

Emperor Long'an laughed and said: "I guess you must have been ignorant! That bastard Jia Qiang has made your reputation suffer. It really shouldn't be! Why, he has been disobedient recently?"

Lin Ruhai shook his head and said: "It's not about disobedience, it's just his business. Unless you encounter difficulties and come to find ministers, otherwise, ministers will generally not intervene. It is good for young people to suffer more setbacks. And Jia Qiang is also a very righteous child, if I really want to tell him what to do, if he doesn't think so in his heart, he may not agree."

Emperor Long'an sneered when he heard the words, and said, "For example, the group of people he raised outside Shenjing City?"

Lin Ruhai: "..."

……

PS: Suddenly, I was blown away by Mr. Chun Yu, so I just said, "I'm going to be strong, it's snowing in August..."

Chapter 4 and Eight

Hearing Emperor Long'an's question, even Dai Quan's eyelids twitched. He raised the staff privately, but they were still shady ones. It is not a problem to say that they harbor evil intentions.

Lin Ruhai knelt down in shame and pleaded guilty: "The minister knew about this, when Jia Qiang was in Yangzhou..."

Emperor Long'an didn't wait for him to finish, so he asked Dai Quan to help Lin Ruhai up first, and said: "You told me in your secret book, I remember. I just didn't expect that he really took all these people and brought them into Beijing! Where did he get so much money to support so many people?"

Emperor Long'an had some doubts. Could it be that he had tampered with it when he ransacked the salt merchant's house?

Or, Lin Ruhai lost his head and used all the wealth accumulated by the Lin family to support this bastard?

But if this is the case, what does Lin Ruhai want these people to do?

Lin Ruhai replied truthfully: "Your Majesty, Jia Qiang does have the ability to gather wealth. In Yangzhou, Qi Taizhong, the silver fox of the Qi family, is a commoner, but he has been friends with the Supreme Emperor for thirty years. Qi Taizhong is the current Tao Zhu. However, with his He could, but he became friends with Jia Qiang, a young man who had forgotten his age, and started a business together. He sent his eldest grandson to Beijing and became friends with Jia Qiang. The minister guessed that he entrusted the future luck of the Qi family to On Jia Qiang."

Emperor Long'an frowned and said: "Qi Taizhong is not a simple person, don't be fooled by him..."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said: "I can assure you that this is not the case. Even if Qi Taizhong's old fox had some thoughts, he still took a fancy to the minister behind Jia Qiang and the emperor behind him. In the end, his eyes still fell on the emperor. He is a sensible person. Jia Qiang is just a young man, and he himself has this self-knowledge. In addition, the third son of Qi Taizhong once set up a lore-killing array to kill Jia Qiang. That time was really dangerous. Afterwards, Jia Qiang should start from The Qi family has gained a lot of benefits. It is probably these benefits that are supporting him now. But this matter is indeed a taboo, and the minister asked Jia Qiang to send all those people away."

Emperor Long'an heard the words, a strange color flashed in his smile, and said: "Let's talk about this matter later, it is difficult for you to do things now, it would be better if some people help." Qing, within one month, I have been given three secret complaints, impeaching Jiangsu governor Zhao Dong, corrupting the law, selling officials and nobles, forming cliques for personal gain, and having no bottom line, ruining the Jiangnan officialdom! how?"

Hearing this, Lin Ruhai suppressed the smile on his face, frowned and said, "Zhao Dong... Back to the emperor, I really don't know much about this person, but corruption is rampant in Jiangnan officialdom, and there is indeed such a thing. But , Ban Shangong is a person who has been in the officialdom for a long time and is used to wind and rain. Waiting for the officials to be idle and mediocre, it is not possible for him to be impeached three times in a month. From this, it can be seen that Zhao Dong must have gone too far."

Emperor Long'an's face was gloomy, and he said: "Zhao Dong, and Liu Qi, the admiral of the south of the Yangtze River, begged the Zhen family. That idiot Zhen Yingjia actually has a face to speak for them! You don't know how to live or die!"

Lin Ruhai frowned when he heard the words, and sighed softly: "The Zhen family...is in trouble."

Zhao Dong and Liu Qi were former ministers of Jingchu.

Which feudal official is not the emperor's confidant?

If these two are already troublesome, then the Zhen family is even more troublesome.

The Zhen family, to a certain extent, is the same as the Supreme Emperor's family having children.

As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog.

The late Mrs. Fengsheng of the Zhen family had contributed to nurturing the Supreme Emperor for ten years. During the most difficult time of the Supreme Emperor's childhood, it was the Mrs. Fengsheng of the Zhen family who protected him with meticulous love.

Thinking of this kindness, the Supreme Emperor visited the south six times and lived in Zhen's house four times. In front of the accompanying princes and officials, he pointed to Mrs. Fengsheng and called her "the old man of my family".

When Mrs. Feng Sheng was there, every year on the birthday, the palace and the palaces of the princes sent countless gifts.

The Zhen family has lived in the south of the Yangtze River for many years since their father and grandfather, thinking that the emperor is the eyes and ears.

This kind of holy family also laid the foundation for the Zhen family to become the first family in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even though Mrs. Fengsheng has passed away for a long time now, as long as the Supreme Emperor is here, it is really difficult to touch the Zhen family...

"However, I have a way."

Seeing that Emperor Long'an's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, Lin Ruhai felt aggrieved in his heart. After pondering for a while, he smiled.

Emperor Long'an hurriedly asked: "What can Ai Qing do?"

Lin Ruhai said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Zheng Simin, the governor of Hunan Province, is considered to be the emperor's confidant, but among Jingchu's former ministers, this person is barely a clean stream. In office, he promotes education, builds water conservancy, and emphasizes agriculture and mulberry. He can be regarded as a minister. Why don't the emperor transfer him to the south of the Yangtze River as the governor, and then recruit Zhao Dong back to Beijing in the name of promotion, and investigate him!"

"Zheng Simin?"

Emperor Long'an thought for a while, and said: "I remember, he and you are also in the same year, right?"

Lin Ruhai nodded and said: "That's why I dare to recommend him. Although Mr. Zheng is far from being able to compare with Mr. Han's half-mountain, it should be within Mr. Han's tolerance. With him in the middle as a buffer, the half-mountain will pick him up." There will not be too much turmoil in the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River."

When Emperor Long'an heard the words, he nodded thoughtfully, at this moment, he suddenly saw a red-clothed eunuch come in holding a special leather case, bowed and said: "Long live, the emergency secret package sent by the governor of Hunan has arrived. "

Emperor Long'an was shocked when he heard the words, and after looking at Lin Ruhai who was equally astonished, he hurriedly asked his servant to fetch it. After Dai Quan carefully checked the seal mouth, he used the gold key to open the special lock on the leather case, and took out the secret folder. Dedicated to Emperor Long'an.

Emperor Long'an opened it, his eyes lit up immediately, and laughed loudly: "Lin Aiqing, what you said is true, what you said is true! It's finally raining on the two lakes! Hahaha! It's raining!"

There are severe droughts in the five provinces, and the most terrible one is the severe drought in the two lakes.

The two lakes are the granary of the country. Once it rains, there will be no more catastrophes for the country!
