Chapter 767
Watching Qin Dewei leave, Gan Shangshu still felt sorry for the [-] taels of silver and the [-] craftsmen, and couldn't help but said to Yan Shifan: "Why is this so!"

In Gan Shangshu's mind, Yan Shifan's behavior is like "spending money to buy peace", don't you feel useless?What is the difference from Da Song who gave New Year coins?
Yan Shifan had a different opinion: "Then Qin Dewei seems to be whimsical, and he never does things that are not sure! This time he suddenly proposed to develop the Lao Shizi cannon, I think it should be possible to make things happen!
Now our Ministry of Industry gives people money, and when he really builds it, wouldn't it be half of the credit for the Ministry of Industry!So be a person with a long-term perspective and don't worry about it. "

Feeling that Uncle Yan is not in charge of the family and does not know how expensive the firewood is, Shangshu Gan said a little angrily: "That is twenty thousand taels of silver after all!"

Yan Shifan added: "Besides, now that Xia Yan has left, my father and Qin Dewei each have benefits to digest, so it is really inappropriate to start another war. It is not a loss to spend some money to block his schemes!"

Although Xia Yan and Xia Shoufu left, they left a lot of "political legacy", such as the central authority, such as the Jiangxi gang, and the allies of Nanzhili.

During this period of time, Mr. Yan Ge and Qin Zhongtang mainly focused their energy on receiving and digesting the inheritance, and they had a tacit understanding not to disturb each other, so as not to take advantage of others. It was a rare honeymoon period.

Yan Shifan understood the current situation, and also saw Qin Dewei's attempt to attack the Ministry of Industry.

As the saying goes, petty intolerance leads to chaos and great conspiracy. Problems that can be solved with money are not considered problems. Anyway, they are all public funds. As long as it can prevent Qin Dewei from getting involved in the Ministry of Industry, it is worth it!
The significance of the Ministry of Industry to the Yan family and his son is not just a simple sphere of influence, but also the largest source of income at present, which is extremely important and cannot be missed.

That's why Yan Shifan didn't want to turn the Ministry of Industry into a "battlefield". Otherwise, the flames of war would be indiscriminate. Even if Qin Dewei couldn't make money, the Yan family would suffer a lot.

But when Qin Zhongtang came out of the main hall of the Ministry of Industry, Fang You, a member of Zhongshushe who was waiting outside, rushed forward to meet him.

Then Fang Sheren noticed that Qin Zhongtang's complexion was not very good, so he asked cautiously: "Could it be that the Ministry of Industry refuses to give Zhongtang face?"

Qin Dewei said a little depressingly: "It's too hard to save face! I gave [-] taels of silver, and gave it to [-] craftsmen!"

This made Fang Sheren unable to understand. The Ministry of Industry has given so much, why is Zhongtang still unhappy?
Qin Dewei explained casually: "This means that although the tactics are profitable, the strategic goals have not been achieved!"

Fang Sheren couldn't understand this sentence, but it didn't affect him to write it down first.

Qin Zhongtang's strategic plan is to be a domineering lion and force the Ministry of Industry to the point where it can't stand it, and then break up.

This is tantamount to laying hidden dangers for the Ministry of Industry, then cooperating with the eunuch and achieving great success, and then going over the old accounts to clean up the Ministry of Industry, and using this as an opportunity to intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Industry in the future!
The ultimate goal is to completely separate some bureaus and factories under the Ministry of Industry and place them under their own jurisdiction, and use them as technology research and development institutions in the future, such as the Ordnance Bureau.

Like the barbarian yamen, this kind of very marginal yamen in the traditional sense can only shine if it is in the hands of the traversers.So Qin Dewei really has no choice but to give up on me, but no one can understand him.

Moreover, there are too many new technologies that need to be developed, and it is impossible to turn to others for help every time.Just like the development of the cannon this time, without the support of the eunuch Qin, he would not even dare to start the project.

It turns out that the status is not enough, things are too advanced and easy to lose control, or the results are plundered by others.Now the time is almost ripe to take a little stride forward.

But Qin Dewei didn't expect that Yan Shifan had also learned to pretend to be a grandson, and would give him whatever he wanted, which made the strategic plan impossible to advance.

Thinking of this, and thinking of Zhai Rujian who succeeded in probing himself through the change of two faces, Qin Zhongtang couldn't help but said with emotion: "Recently, it's really bad luck. Why are you all giving me the nose and face?"

Fang Sheren still couldn't understand that [-] taels of silver and [-] craftsmen were extorted from Yan Ge's old site. Qin Zhongtang, why are you so depressed?
Then Fang Sheren asked again: "Where are we going next?"

Qin Zhongtang ordered: "Go to the Ministry of Punishment in Xicheng!"

The Ministry of Punishment, Metropolitan Procuratorate, and Dali Temple are all located in the West City, not on Qinglong Street in the East City.

Fang Sheren always felt that Qin Zhongtang's behavior today seemed to be to grab the territory.First went to the Ministry of Industry, then to the Ministry of Punishment, either Yan Song's territory or the former chief assistant Xia Yan's territory.

Without talking all the way, when they arrived at the Criminal Department of Xicheng, Qin Zhongtang was invited to the left side hall of the main hall.

When they entered, besides Mao Bowen, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, there was another guest. Qin Dewei identified it, and it turned out to be Yan Song's adopted son, Zhao Wenhua.

I met Yan Shifan in the Ministry of Industry, and Zhao Wenhua in the Ministry of Punishment. I don't know if it counts as a "handover" between the two armies.

This Zhao Wenhua had been in the Ministry of Punishments before, but after Yan Song gained power, he was promoted to the Department of General Administration, where he specialized in monitoring Chinese and foreign memorials for Yan Song.

But Qin Dewei ignored Zhao Wenhua, and only said to Mao Bowen: "I have a few words to say to Da Si Kou, please ask the idlers to go out."

As the backbone of the Xia Party, Mao Bowen's perception of Qin Dewei is very complicated.

But before Mao Bowen could say anything, Zhao Wenhua said angrily, "No one in Qin Zhongtang thinks too much!"

After Yan Song gained power, Zhao Wenhua, as Yan Ge's adopted son, had not been treated like this for a long time.

Qin Dewei said disdainfully: "I don't know you, and your official uniform is only a fifth rank. Why are you talking about someone who has no one?"

Zhao Wenhua was so angry: "I saw it by the water in Haidian outside the city, why didn't I recognize it?"

Qin Dewei said bluntly, "Forget it!"

Fearing that the two would fight in the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Mao Bowen hurriedly said to Zhao Wenhua, "Speak quickly if you have something to do."

Zhao Wenhua remembered his purpose of coming, took out an invitation card, and said to Mao Shangshu: "In the day after tomorrow, my adoptive father will be on vacation, and he wants to hold a banquet at home to invite fellow Jiangxi fellows to gather. Let me invite Da Sikou to come!"

Everyone can see that Yan Song is gathering Jiangxi forces, and Zhao Wenhua is just running errands.

Qin Dewei watched with cold eyes, and when he heard this, he suddenly said: "That's a coincidence, I also want to invite Da Sikou to a banquet in the future.

You see, Mr. Yan Ge only sent someone who can't stand on stage to invite you, but Ben Zhongtang came to invite you in person, which shows who has sincerity! "

Mao Bowen was speechless, can Yan Song compare with you, Qin Zhongtang?

Not to mention the honorable status of a cabinet scholar, how can he visit everywhere?Let’s just say that the old Yan Ge is serving the emperor Xuanxiu in the Zhiwuyi Palace today, how can he have the freedom to run around?

After hesitating for a moment, Mao Bowen accepted the invitation from Zhao Wenhua.

Zhao Wenhua glanced at Qin Dewei proudly, and now he knows who is the outsider, right?You, Qin Dewei, come here to dig people yourself, so what can you do?

But Qin Dewei didn't seem to take it seriously, and suddenly laughed loudly and said, "I just want to come over and see with my own eyes whether your position is stable, Shangshu Mao! Now it seems that you can consider electing the next chief commander!"

Mao Bowen: "."

Could it be that you, Qin Zhongtang, came here to intimidate people on purpose?
Qin Dewei got up without hesitation and prepared to go out. Before leaving, he said: "I have something to say to Mr. Mao. Don't say it is unexpected. Mr. Mao can do it on his own!"

In terms of titles, Qin Dewei didn't even use Da Sikou and Mao Shangshu anymore. Obviously, in his mind, Mao Bowen was already a "dead man".

If these words were spoken by others, it might just be a mouthful of harsh words, but from Qin Dewei's mouth, the deterrent effect is absolutely different.

Zhao Wenhua said comfortingly: "Qin Dewei is not a good guy, he's just used to scare people!"

After struggling for a while, Mao Bowen returned the invitation to Zhao Wenhua and sighed: "I still don't want to go because of Xia Guizhou's kindness!"

Even if Qin Dewei is not a good guy, Yan Song is also Xia Yan's enemy, and taking refuge in Yan Song is also a "betrayal" of Xia Yan.

Zhao Wenhua was in a hurry, if he couldn't invite Mao Bowen, he wouldn't be able to explain to his adoptive father!

Among the people Yan Ge always wanted to win over, Mao Bowen was considered a very important one, and he also had a bond with his fellow countrymen in Jiangxi, so he was sure to win.

Zhao Wenhua persuaded: "Isn't Da Si Kou frightened by Qin Dewei? If there is Yan Ge's old man standing behind him, why is Da Si Kou afraid?

Take a ten thousand step back and say, you can't always be a man of both ends, looking forward and backward!Da Sikou should understand this truth. "

Mao Bowen was extremely irritable, whether it is good to be a man or an official, why is it so difficult?Besides, what kind of green onion are you, Zhao Wenhua, who dare to point fingers at yourself?Do you think you are Qin Dewei?

Finally, he waved his hand impatiently and said to Zhao Wenhua, "No!"

After Qin Dewei came out from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, he casually said to Fang You outside the gate of the Ministry of Criminal Justice: "Everything is really not going well today. Neither the Ministry of Criminal Justice nor the Ministry of Industry has been taken down."

Fang Sheren has nothing to say, it's true that as big as the imagination is, so much is the achievement.Who would dare to think about winning two departments in one day?

Besides, if you, Qin Zhongtang, successfully take over the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, then five out of the six ministries are your own, so what's the point of the existence of the cabinet?
Qin Zhongtang asked again: "You said that if you mess with Mao Bowen to death, can you get Mr. Yan Ge's concession on the issue of the Ministry of Industry?"

Fang You had nothing to say, and as a confidant, he couldn't understand why Qin Zhongtang, a top-notch Qingliu, would stick to the Ministry of Industry at the end of the Six Departments, but Qin Zhongtang is as long as you are happy.

After that, Qin Zhongtang went to the Ordnance Bureau to inspect the work, conceived plans for the future by the way, and kept running around outside like this.

As dusk approached, Fang You, a member of Zhongshushe who had been running with Qin Zhongtang for a day, dragged his exhausted body back to his home in the southwest corner of the capital.

After walking into the alley, I saw a few people waiting outside the house, apparently visitors.

This would not surprise Fang Sheren, he had long since realized that, after becoming Qin Zhongtang's "right-hand man" in Wenyuan Pavilion, there would be such a day sooner or later.

Afterwards, Fang Sheren met the visitor in front of the gate of his house, and saw that the visitor was a middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit, who must be from a wealthy family.

He also heard the other party introduce himself: "I, Zhai Rujian, and my father, Mr. Zhai Ge, are here today without invitation, so I took the liberty to visit!"

Fang Sheren was taken aback at this time, mainly because he didn't expect that the other party was so powerful that he was the son of Shoufu.

In a flash, Fang Sheren understood the other party's intention.Why else, it must be the letter of appointment of the first assistant that has been backlogged in the pile of documents in Wenyuan Pavilion.

I really didn't expect that he, a seventh-rank senior miscellaneous official Zhongshu Sheren, would have a day when he would be interceded by the chief assistant's son!
Fang You is not rich, so he lives on Lumi, and he is considered a middle-lower family in the capital.There is not even a decent meeting place in the house, only an east wing room has been cleaned up for meeting guests.

After Zhai Rujian sat down, he looked around and said, "Fang Zhongshu is really poor." Then he took out another bank note for Yuanfeng and put it gently on the table.

Fang You thought for a while, but he didn't accept the bank note directly, but he didn't push it back either. He just said to Zhai Rujian: "I understand your Excellency's intentions. But Qin Zhongtang has a strategy and foresight, which is definitely beyond my control." of."

Zhai Rujian didn't directly ask why he didn't issue an edict, but asked along the way: "I also ask Fang Zhongshu for advice, what exactly is Qin Zhongtang thinking?"

Fang You had already summed up a little bit of experience about the current situation, "Qin Zhongtang and Yan Ge should have a tacit understanding, each delaying the arrival of the new chief assistant, so as to rectify the court according to their own ideas."

Rectification is a nicer and more euphemistic way of saying it. As for the meaning, Fang You believes that he understands everything he should know. If he doesn't understand it, there is no need to understand it.

Zhai Rujian asked again: "Then how long will it be rectified?"

Fang You recalled what he saw and heard today, and judged: "I guess it will be soon!"

Qin Zhongtang was so bored today that he went to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment to grab territory, which may mean that he has digested the loot and is going to grab food from his opponents again.

Under such circumstances, it is of little significance to prevent Zhai Shoufu from interfering with Zhai Luan's appointment as chief assistant.

Zhai Rujian pushed the bank note on the table forward again, "Fang Zhongshu is very knowledgeable, please remind Qin Zhongtang."

Fang You quickly said, "It's easy to talk about."

Isn't it just a matter of passing a word, it is indeed time to remind.

Qin Dewei himself didn't know that his unintentional mistakes would be made up for so much by others.

At this time, he drank the tonic prescribed by Tao Xiangu, and after taking a bath, he entered the house with his virtuous wife and started tonight's work.

The couple had just finished their warm-up exercises when they heard the maid shouting outside: "Master, come out, another official from the Yiwu Yamen is begging to see you at the gate, saying that there is an urgent document! Tell me it's about the little prince."

Qin Dewei heard that a carp stood upright, turned over and got out of bed, put on his clothes and ran out!This is an opportunity to change the pattern of the northern desert, and it cannot be delayed!

Xu Miaoxuan, who stayed on the kang, was so angry that her teeth itched, and suddenly remembered a Tang poem: "Repent to teach your husband and son-in-law to find a prince".

On the same night, Zhao Wenhua ran to the Yan Mansion.At this time, Yan Ge was always in the palace, and only Yan Shifan received Zhao Wenhua.

After hearing what happened to the Ministry of Criminal Justice today, Yan Shifan thought about it for a while, and then said: "Father has long said that Tyranny Qin is greedy! It's only been quiet for a few days, and then it started again!"

Zhao Wenhua said: "The surname Qin must be taught a lesson, otherwise he will be unscrupulous!"

But Yan Shifan said: "Actually, it's not the right time yet. Father is not ready yet. And we can't get entangled in the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment. Otherwise, we will lose money anyway. We have to keep the enemy out of the country!"
But there is no need for us to come forward, as long as we provoke Qin Dewei a little and let others consume Qin Dewei. "

 5.4.I found that there were too many branches left a while ago, and it’s hard to write together.
