In the eyes of the local people, including the officials, the outline of the matter from beginning to end is like this—

Qin Zhongtang heard that smuggling was very profitable, and wanted to make a fortune, so he asked Yan Shifan and Xu Weixue to transport thousands of bolts of silk to Sanjiangkou.

Yan and Xu don't understand the local business rules, and rely on themselves to cross the river, and have disputes and conflicts with the locals of Yahang.The incident became more and more troublesome, and finally caused a big brawl involving 300 people, and burned more than a dozen buildings in the Sanjiangkou Market.

Then Qin Zhongtang drove to Ningbo, assuming the posture of invoking the teacher to ask the crime.

As for whether Qin Zhongtang's purpose is to ask for compensation, or to let out a sigh of relief, or to use this to open up the situation in the smuggling market, each has its own interpretation.

But no matter how you interpret it, Qin Zhongtang came here "looking for trouble". When asked about Xu Weixue who was detained, it was obvious that he was also looking for trouble.

Liu Jie, commander of the Ningbo Guards, came out and reported to Qin Zhongtang: "Xu Weixue is temporarily being detained by the Governor of Ningbo Wei Township."

If it is placed in most areas of the mainland, large-scale riots will generally be resolved by the government.

But in Ningbo City, it is not surprising that Ningbo Wei came forward to detain people.
In coastal places like Ningbo Prefecture, the guards are far more powerful than the prefectures and counties in the interior, and in this respect they are more like guards in northern border towns.

In addition to the Ningbo Guards in Ningbo City, there are many real guards such as Dinghai Guards, Guanhai Guards, and Changguo Guards by the sea. The coastline is actually under the jurisdiction of these guards, and the government of Ningbo is out of control.

This is why Shen Kai, the prefect of Ningbo Prefecture, looks a bit soft and not strong enough.

Qin Dewei stared at Liu Jie for a while, the third-rank commander was already considered a senior military officer, especially a military officer with local real power.

Qin Zhongtang kept telling his subordinates that the situation in Ningbo Mansion was difficult, and it was here that it was difficult.

As we all know, the military households of the Ming Dynasty are hereditary, so the guards in Ningbo Mansion, from the military households to the military officials, have been here for generations.

Therefore, Ningbo Mansion not only has the four major families that prospered due to the imperial examination, but also a large number of families of military officers in the Weisuo.

These forces are intertwined and combined to form a close vested interest group.Moreover, this interest group is very exclusive, which is why the local forces in Ningbo do not want to go to Ningbo.

In this interest group, on the one hand, they have successfully exported politicians through the imperial examinations, and on the other hand, they are escorted by the local guards, which is enough to distort all orders from the outside world, including the imperial court, on this three-acre land.

The imperial ban on the sea has indeed been implemented here, but it is unlikely to have much effect.

As a result, Ningbo Mansion became a smuggling trade center, and the wealth of Ningbo Mansion surpassed that of Shaoxing Mansion next door with better natural conditions.

Qin Zhongtang said, "Do you know that Xu Weixue was sent by the shogunate on business?"

Liu Jie, Commander of the Ningbo Guards, replied with reason and evidence: "Xu Weixue couldn't come up with evidence at that time, so we couldn't just rely on his word to believe it.

Secondly, there are rumors that one side was invaded by Japanese pirates. This is no ordinary fight.Therefore, the guard should not take it lightly, and it is the right way to detain Xu Weixue first. "

To everyone's ears, there was nothing wrong with Commander Liu's answer, it was very reasonable, and it could even be said to be watertight.

Unless you Qin Zhongtang is unreasonable and directly orders the release, then you can only admit it, but don't blame others for criticizing you.

Then I heard Qin Zhongtang's aggressive and direct reprimand: "You, Liu Jie, don't want to do it anymore?" Everyone was speechless, because Qin Zhongtang's words were very unlevel.

Commander Liu made a point, and then you, Qin Zhongtang, can apply pressure in many ways, and the result is just this sentence?What is the essential difference between this and shrew swearing at the street?
The key is to say this, how do you ask Commander Liu to continue?Commander Liu has no normal steps to go down. He either bows his knees or gives another soft nail.

Sure enough, Liu Jie had no choice but to respond later, saying: "I am just acting impartially. As for whether I can continue to be the commander of the Ningbo Guards, it depends on the imperial court's will."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Qin Zhongtang didn't say a word in the end.

He stretched out his finger and pointed Commander Liu, snorted coldly, turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and boarded the official boat again without even saying hello, as if Commander Liu was mad at him.

Qin Zhongtang's entourage was extremely surprised, and almost missed Qin Zhongtang's footsteps, so it's gone?

In recent years, Qin Zhongtang was usually the one who was angry with others. I have never seen Qin Zhongtang being so angry that he walked away without being able to say a few words!
Is this Commander Liu so terrifying?Even Qin Zhongtang, who is eloquent, can't get cheap with his words?
But Commander Liu himself was even more surprised. He thought he would go back and forth for a few rounds, and then just pretend to save face and let him go.

The purpose of detaining people is to prevent Qin Zhongtang from talking about the thousands of pieces of silk!Is it really possible to detain Qin Zhongtang's people?That's no good, he's not an official fool!
But why did he only say a few words, and just as soon as he put on some posture, Qin Zhongtang left without saying a word, angrily?A majestic middle school scholar supervisor, is this the kind of courage?

However, the locals looked at Commander Liu with a little reverence. To be able to pout Qin Zhongtang, who is well-known all over the world, is a hero!
Yang Meihuang, a well-known member of the Yang family in his seventies, solemnly saluted Commander Liu and praised, "Master Liu is not

Fearing power, being fair and righteous, can be a model of Sangzi!Mr. Liu has given Ningbo City a face boost, we will definitely support Mr. Liu! "

Commander Liu accepted the compliment, but his mind was still muddled. Did he win?The welcome ceremony of Ningbo City to Qin Zhongtang broke up unhappy like this, and ended hastily.

Later, Qin Zhongtang's boat entered Ningbo City from Shuimen and lived in a mansion located in the northwest of the city.

According to the reception rules, there should also be a welcome event where those who can appear on the stage gather together.

But Qin Zhongtang said that he was tired today, so he didn't want to have a banquet, and the banquet was postponed for one day.Everyone expressed their understanding of Qin Zhongtang's decree.

By now the news had spread, and many people knew that Commander Liu defied the police and contradicted Qin Zhongtang.

Qin Zhongtang had lost face, and he definitely couldn't bear it in his heart, and it was justified to need time to relax.Although public events such as the welcome feast were cancelled, there were still many people who went to visit Qin Zhongtang in private, but they were all turned away, and they were told that Qin Zhongtang would not see any outsiders today.

Only Feng Mou, the doctor of the household department and the secretary of the city shipbuilding department, and Hu Moumou, the censor of patrolling the sea, were not rejected, and entered the gate of the mansion together after the notification.

This is also normal, there are no secrets in the officialdom, the local people have long known that these two people have a close relationship with Qin Zhongtang.

At today's official welcome ceremony, there were too many people in public, and it was difficult for the two of them to communicate with Qin Zhongtang in private.

But both of them feel that Qin Zhongtang seems to be different from the past.It's not just because even a commander can't quarrel, there are also many unexplainable changes.

The two met by Qin Dewei in the reception room on the side of the judging hall, took the initiative to say: "First public affairs, then private affairs, let me tell you about what you have done since you took office."

Master Feng Enfeng, who was in charge of the Shibo Department, said first: "Since I came to the Shibo Department, because of a certain minister of the imperial court's indiscriminate investigation and cooperation, the number of tribute Japanese has increased dramatically, ten times that of the past.

This year, the Shibo Department received a total of eight batches of Japanese tribute groups, with nearly [-] people.

The lower officials are conscientious and do their best to take care of them. They have organized the mutual market six times to show the kindness of the Great Ming, beat and punished the Japanese eighteen times, and praised me as a great Ming Ming! "

After listening to Feng En's report, Qin Zhongtang didn't care about the number of beatings, and asked, "How much money did you earn?"

Master Feng thought in surprise, isn't this question a bit vulgar?

The responsibilities of the Shibo Department are not as simple as they were later. Firstly, it is a diplomatic reception department, and secondly, it is an intermediary department. By the way, it is also in charge of tax collection, and its responsibilities are not for profit.

Qin Zhongtang was even more surprised, "Isn't it? You didn't make any money in a place like Shibosi?" Feng En retorted.
I asked, "What do you mean earn money?"

Qin Zhongtang said bluntly: "Whether it is using the official status of the Shibo Department to earn the price difference between inside and outside, or using the Shibo Department as a cover for smuggling, it is making money!"

Feng En replied subconsciously and honestly: "That's not true." Their Feng family is not short of money, so what are they doing with money in office?
Qin Dewei sighed and commented: "It's nothing!"

Then he asked again: "The emperor is already in a coma, so there is no need for Ce Yan and Zhou Liang to go to the capital to see him. Why is he still lingering? Do you have any ideas?"

Feng En reported: "The court meeting is only one of his responsibilities. He still has to confirm the next tribute, such as whether to pay tribute in three years or continue next year? Only when it is agreed in advance can he complete his duties!
Now that the court has become like this, there has been no final decision for a long time, and you have not spoken, so Ce Yan and Zhou Liang can only wait. "

Qin Zhongtang clapped the table and said: "That's right, since I don't speak, who can determine the tribute of Japan?" Feng En quickly asked: "Then what do you mean?"

The tributary envoys have been stranded in Ningbo, and he, the manager of the city ship department, has to take responsibility all the time. He will be relieved when he finishes his work early and dismisses him early.

Qin Zhongtang chuckled and said: "You also know that the monk Ceyan is actually a member of the Ouchi clan of the Japanese princes, and the Ouchi clan dug a silver mountain!
Therefore, since Monk Ceyan is serving as an envoy, he must bring a large amount of money with him!They were short of everything except silver!

Since I want Ben Zhongtang to continue to nod for the tribute, it can't be justified if I don't donate some silver, right?How much should be, let them figure it out for themselves! "

Feng En: ".."

Never seen Qin Banqiao so greedy for money!Is the one in front of you fake?Or was it taken over by another ghost?

After that, Qin Zhongtang stopped talking to Mr. Feng, who was in a daze, and turned to Hu Zongxian, the sea patrol censor, "What have you done since you took office?"

Hu Zongxian showed what he thought was the most beautiful performance, and said proudly: "Since I took office as Xun Haidao, I have successively uncovered more than [-] smuggling cases and impeached guard officials six times!"

Qin Zhongtang asked directly: "Have you made any money?"

Hu Zongxian suddenly got stuck, what do you mean Qin Banqiao?Let a censor in charge of supervision and discipline think about making money?It's not that their old Hu family has no money!Have you heard of Huishang?
Qin Dewei shook his head at Hu Zongxian, "It looks like he didn't make any money in his tenure! Sitting on the way to make money, but empty-handed, nothing!"

Hu Zongxian didn't want to speak, but just rolled his eyes at Qin Zhongtang.

But Qin Zhongtang didn't finish his words, and asked again: "You have been the censor of patrolling the sea for so long.

Is the officer in charge familiar with it? "

Hu Zongxian replied: "How can you be unfamiliar?"

What does the patrol censor do?One of the important responsibilities is supervision. How could it be possible not to know the main officials of the guards in the jurisdiction?
Qin Dewei ordered: "Okay, then you make a list of the commanders in charge of the guards and thousands of households, and indicate the situation of each person, this will be useful!"

Hu Zongxian did not doubt that he was there, so he agreed.

Qin Zhongtang wanted to fight the Japanese and suppress the bandits, of course he had to know himself and the enemy, and he should also be familiar with the military officers of the guards along the coast.

Then I heard Qin Zhongtang say: "I think these guards, because of hereditary military officers, stay here for a long time, which leads to many disadvantages!

The reason why my local officials in Ming Dynasty changed their posts was to prevent long-term appointments from causing harm, but these military attaches took advantage of the loopholes because of hereditary inheritance.

So I have an idea, to transfer the military attaches of these guards along the coast, either go to the inland, or transfer to each other! "

Hu Zongxian applauded, "This idea is very good!"

Qin Zhongtang gritted his teeth and said, "Then Ningbo Wei Liu Jie dared not show my face and contradicted me in public, he must be transferred to another place!"

Hu Zongxian asked again: "Then how should other people be transferred? Should they be transferred to the mainland, or be transferred between Fujian and Zhejiang provinces?"

Qin Dewei pointed to the map in the direction of the Judgment Hall, "Lot

There are good and bad, how to replace it is a headache!So after much deliberation, let's see their performance! "

Hu Zongxian didn't understand for a while, "What performance? Do you want the lower officials to list their past performances in the list for your reference?"

Qin Dewei waved his hand, "You don't need to be so troublesome! You just need to spread my words!
Presumably there are sensible people who will know how to do it!These bastards in the guards have benefited from indulging in smuggling, so they should spit out some! "

Hu Zongxian: "."

This is what you Qin Banqiao said about making money?What else can I say besides shit?

Is this the degeneration of human nature or the degeneration of morality? A generation of powerful women who were originally following the line of phishing for fame have turned into corrupt officials?
With Qin Zhongtang's power and status, and without the emperor's constraints, no one else has nothing to do if he really wants to get greedy!Master Feng who was at the side couldn't bear it anymore and said, "You, Qin Banqiao, have really changed!"

At that time, Qin Banqiao was an official with a pure desire for power, and did not take money as his main purpose; but this Qin Zhongtang in front of him is full of money, which is simply insulting to gentlemen!
Qin Dewei glanced at Master Feng and sighed: "It's not me, it's this era! Now everything should be centered on economic construction!

Also, my thousands of bolts of silk were blocked at Sanjiangkou, why didn't the two of you help?Do you still see me?
In the future, I will cooperate with Yan Shifan and let him be in charge of the smuggling business. You two should cooperate more! "

Master Feng accused angrily, "No wonder you, Qin Dewei, can't even quarrel with a commander. If you are not straight, you will not be strong, and if you are guilty, you will be short of breath!"
