Chapter 361 Chen Xun’s temptation and Lin Cunde’s impatience (fifth update)

Lin Cunde asked Chen Xun to sit down and started to make tea. Chen Xun didn't speak yet, and Lin Cunde wasn't in a hurry either!

After a while, Chen Xuncai asked: "Are you going to Luanzhou?"

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde just nodded and focused on making tea!

"Why are you going to Luanzhou? There are still many things in the capital that need you to do? Moreover, Wang Zhi's promotion of the New Deal in Nanzhili and Shandong this time was not very smooth. You had spent half a year promoting it in the four southern provinces. Now he has been using it in South Zhili for more than two months, and in Shandong, it has just started!" Chen Xun looked at Lin Cunde and asked tentatively.

"Ha, it's different. Wang Zhi returned to Beijing to preside over the audition. This trip lasted almost a month!" Lin Cunde smiled and waved his hand.

It was not going well for Wang Zhi, but it was understandable. Those civil servants were holding back, begging for mercy from time to time, putting pressure on Wang Zhi, and wooing the subordinates Wang Zhi brought there, and sent several of them to prison, but Chen Xun Don’t mention it.

"Well, I guess it's more difficult here in Beizhili!" Chen Xun said, stroking his beard.

"What's so difficult? The Third Battalion of the Capital is here. If that doesn't work, I will suggest to Your Majesty that we dispatch the Third Battalion of the Capital to see who dares to mess up!" Lin Cunde said angrily.

After hearing this, Chen Xun was speechless. He originally wanted to test Lin Cunde's support for Wang Zhi, but he didn't expect Lin Cunde to be so supportive!

"I heard it's not easy to promote in Shandong!" Chen Xun continued to Lin Cunde.

"I wrote a letter to Cao Yi, asking Cao Yi to support Wang Zhi. The Bei Cao Army was doing rotation at the Fifth Army Camp before and has returned. Those troops will help!" Lin Cunde said calmly. Wang Zhi is in Shandong, so it will be easier to handle. Well, with the support of Cao Yi and the 60,000 troops who have completed the exercise, Cao Yi dares!

Cao Yi also trusts Lin Cunde's words, and he is now considered His Majesty's. Lin Cunde is His Majesty's confidant. He dare not stop at Lin Cunde's words, not to mention that without Lin Cunde, Cao Yi would not be able to be knighted!

"That's it, that's fine. Wang Zhi feels much more relaxed like this. He's not as tired as Nan Zhili!" Chen Xun said nonchalantly, feeling shocked in his heart that Lin Cunde actually supported Wang Zhi so much!

"South Zhili is not tired either. It's just because Wang Zhi wants to return to the capital. Wei Guogong is very supportive of Wang Zhi. Otherwise, how can Wang Zhi carry out his work in South Zhili? With Wei Guogong in charge of South Zhili, who dares to mess up? Implement the New Deal "Although it's not that simple, it's not that difficult either!" Lin Cunde said, pouring the brewed tea into the fair cup, and then poured tea for Chen Xun!

At the same time, he said: "Mr. Chen Ge, please have some tea!"

"Thank you! Are you going to Luanzhou this time?" Chen Xun continued to ask Lin Cunde.

"It costs a lot to build a warship. The warship is not what you think. It will probably take many years and cost a lot. However, this money is all from internal funds and has nothing to do with the court. It is all your Majesty's own. Save this!" Lin Cunde looked up at Chen Xun and said.

The warning is very sufficient. You are not allowed to object to this matter, and you have no reason to object. Your Majesty paid for this yourself!

"Yes, His Majesty is still very frugal, but it is estimated that the expenses will be high in the future. The Ministry of Rites has already started the talent show, which requires a lot of money. Moreover, after the showgirls enter the palace, they will probably be rewarded. This is also We need a lot of money!" Chen Xun nodded, but felt a little sad inside. He didn't know how to ask Lin Cunde, and Lin Cunde was obviously dissatisfied with himself!

Lin Cunde leaned back, rubbed his head and said: "In addition, I have many important things to do when I go to Luanzhou. Therefore, I need to leave the affairs of the capital to Chen Ge, who has just been in power for a year. There are many things that I haven't touched yet, so I need Mr. Chen Ge to remind me more!'

Your Majesty is now a benevolent king, and the people praise you as a holy king. Although there are so many corrupt officials, your Majesty does not go on a killing spree. He just exiles those officials. If you can, your Majesty still insists on not killing. Therefore, for everyone That's a good thing!

Up to now, there are so many corrupt officials imprisoned in the imperial edict, but there are several people who were sentenced to the Autumn Jue. Last year, the Autumn Jue people were all evil people. Except for a few treasons, no officials were sentenced. If you ask about it, you will be exiled!

Mr. Chen Ge needs to seize such a good opportunity. Maybe he can leave his name in history by then! "

"Yes, you are right, but now, eh, I am not trusted by His Majesty, and, eh!" Chen Xun did not dare to go further!

"Ha!" Lin Cunde smiled, leaned there, and said nothing!

Chen Xun just stared at Lin Cunde!

"You said His Majesty doesn't trust you. Why don't you reflect on it? What have you done recently? Begged for mercy, hired people, put pressure on Wang Zhi, asked your disciples to win over the people Wang Zhi brought, and let several promising people His subordinates were sent to prison!

They would not be short of money. As long as they are officials who follow Wang Zhili, regardless of whether Beizhili implements the New Deal, their salary will be calculated according to the salary of the New Deal. A fifth-grade official can earn a lot in one year. Money makes life very prosperous. Yesterday I went to Taifu Yu’s house. Taifu saw me bringing vegetables there and scolded me. He said that there was still money at home. How could he let me bring vegetables there? I drank too much. At that time, Yu Qian asked his son to bring out three hundred taels of silver and show it off in front of me!

I am helpless, there is a lot of money in my warehouse! However, I was still very happy to see Yu Qian showing off with money!

I went to Yu Qian's house before and saw that Yu Qian's house was so shabby and the furniture was broken. This time I went and found that it had been replaced and the life was getting better and better. Yu Qian drank too much and held my hand and said, thank me. Implement the New Deal so that Ming officials can focus on doing things for the people and don't think about other things!

You know that the New Deal is beneficial to hundreds of officials, but I don't want to let the Yanglian Silver be distributed to those corrupt officials. The Ming Dynasty must deal with corrupt officials. Back then, Taizu hated corrupt officials so much that he killed countless people!

But your Majesty is kind, right?

Sometimes I wonder, are you too bully and afraid of the strong? Have you predicted that His Majesty will not dare to kill you? Do you really think His Majesty is a vegetarian? Do you think that the things in the hands of the third battalion of the capital, plus the frontier troops, plus the reorganized central army, rear army, and Shandong preparation army, are fire sticks? Even with fire sticks, millions of soldiers holding fire sticks can kill many people!

Sometimes, you should consider for yourself whether it is worth it!

Wang Zhi went to the four southeastern provinces. At first, he was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He wrote memoranda of apology to His Majesty every day. Later, he tried to get rid of those corrupt officials quickly and wanted to uproot them. Otherwise, you think Wang Zhi would Are you going to serve as this imperial envoy? Who doesn’t know that this imperial envoy offended people, but Wang Zhi was willing to go. He regretted it and kept reflecting on it. He told me that he had lived for sixty-six years, and he only understood it last year!

Mr. Chen Ge, do you understand?

Wang Zhi, it is impossible for your Majesty to touch him. Unless he rebels, otherwise, even if he returns to his hometown after becoming an official, he will be respected and your Majesty will reward him generously!

What about you, have you ever thought about yourself?

Have you considered for your descendants? You came to me before and asked me to protect your family. I promised not to let you die. Now this sentence is still valid. I just want to know how far you can go!

If a chief minister of the dynasty does not agree with His Majesty, and His Majesty has not dealt with you yet, do you think it is His Majesty who is afraid of you, or His Majesty who tolerates you? "Lin Cunde sat there, talking about those things coldly!

Hearing this, Chen Xun began to sweat on his forehead, shouting all over his back, and his hands and feet felt cold!

"Mr. Chen Ge, sometimes you should go for a walk, especially in places where the New Deal has not been implemented. Take a walk and see what kind of life those people live. You don't have to go too far, just go and see the suburbs of Beijing. The common people, as well as the officials of Shuntian Prefecture, go and see how wealthy their families are now!

In addition, ask yourself one more sentence, why are you an official? The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the first and assistant minister of the cabinet, a very human minister, and your power has almost reached the peak of a civil servant, right? But what did you do? What have you done for the people?

If you don't do it yourself and don't let others do it, how do you want Qingshi to evaluate you? Are you a loyal minister or a treacherous minister? Are you, Chen Xun, a traitor? I don’t think so, I’m more of a confused minister! "Lin Cunde continued to rub his eyebrows and said!

Chen Xun did not dare to think that Lin Cunde was being rude. Who was Lin Cunde? He was the Marquis of the Ming Dynasty, the Admiral of the Fifth Army Camp, the Commander-in-Chief of the Fifth Army Commandery, and the Commander-in-Chief of the Ocean Navy of the Ming Dynasty. He held a lot of power in his hands. Among all the ministers of the Ming Dynasty, , the only ones who can make Lin Cunde respectful are those few princes. In fact, they are just one prince, the Duke of Wei. No one else dares to really show off in front of Lin Cunde!

Lin Cunde killed 50,000 Walan people in the first battle and resolved the crisis in Liaodong with very few casualties. This was a military achievement and a real military achievement. Most of the other honors were inherited. Shi Heng was awarded the title during the battle to defend the capital. Hou's military exploits were not as great as those of Lin Cunde. Moreover, Wang Ying also relied on Lin Cunde to become a marquis, and several other earls also relied on following Lin Cunde to win battles!

Therefore, among the military honors, Lin Cunde did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Wei Guogong and Zhending Hou Wang Ying. Lin Cunde could be rude to other nobles, but Lin Cunde was not an arrogant person, and those nobles all praised Lin Cunde. humble.

At this moment, Chen Xun also raised his hands to Lin Cunde and said: "The Marquis of Luling is right, but things are not that simple. I am also dedicated to the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I believe this!" Lin Cunde nodded with his eyes closed, and cursed in his heart. For the sake of Ming Dynasty, for the people of Ming Dynasty, you should do something for the people of Ming Dynasty. When eradicating those corrupt officials, don't plead for mercy. Ah, don’t impeach Wang Zhi!

"Thank you, Lord Marquis. It's just that I don't have enough communication with His Majesty. In fact, I would like to recommend myself for the next promotion! Take the lead in promoting the New Deal!" Chen Xun said to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde also opened his eyes at this moment and stared at Chen Xun.
