Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 370 Returning to Beijing

Lin Cunde sat there chatting with Lin Cunyi. Lin Cunde hoped that Lin Cunyi could make a good bicycle. This future will definitely be very profitable, but there are still some technical difficulties to overcome, but the problem is not big!

In terms of technology, Lin Cunde has been working on it, and it is estimated that it will be produced soon!

Lin Cunde thought it would be best to produce them before the New Year, so that he could take some to the capital. He would definitely need to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year. Moreover, Zhu Qiyu wrote several times to ask him to go back early!

Lin Cunde also knew that it was probably the New Deal that made Zhu Qiyu a little unable to bear it. Many ministers below wanted to implement the New Deal, but they still didn't want to fight corruption. Although Yu Qian wanted to go there and push it through, he would not be able to go until after the Chinese New Year!

Moreover, Yu Qian estimates that he only went to a few provinces to promote it, and there is no way to promote it nationwide. Even if Qian has finished promoting it in those provinces, there are still a few provinces that have not yet been promoted!

The reason why Zhu Qiyu is facing so much pressure now is that although it appears to be from the civil servants, it is actually from the vassal kings. They also know that the implementation of the New Deal is unstoppable, but they do not want to fight corruption!

For the few remaining provinces, they hope to just pass it by in a daze. In this case, everyone will be safe and their wealth and relationships will be preserved!

Once all the officials they are familiar with are arrested and replaced with new officials, those officials highly admire the New Deal. They will definitely not dare to take the benefits of the vassal king. Even if someone takes it, they will not dare to take it all. , there will still be people who won’t touch it, so those feudal kings won’t be safe either!

And officials who receive benefits from the domain are not safe either!

Therefore, the vassal kings are now anxious and keep asking those officials to submit memorials, hoping to promote the New Deal as soon as possible and stop continuing the anti-corruption campaign!

Zhu Qiyu will never agree to this. Anti-corruption is not the purpose. The land controlled by those officials is what Zhu Qiyu wants. Zhu Qiyu wants to delay land annexation, so the anti-corruption must continue!

In the next more than half a month, Lin Cunde has been busy in Luanzhou. However, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and many workers also need to go home. Many construction sites have gone home for the holidays, and the same is true for workshops. Lin Cunde has not seen Luanzhou here. With so many things to do, I began to prepare to go back, and those officials from the Ministry of Industry, Lin Cunde, also took a vacation, and asked them to go back to the capital first!

At this moment, in the capital, many officials are waiting for Lin Cunde to return, especially some of the vassal king's lobbyists. They hope to persuade Lin Cunde to persuade Zhu Qiyu to give up anti-corruption and implement the New Deal!

Although those lobbyists may not be able to see Lin Cunde, they are still waiting at the door of Lin Cunde's residence, asking when Lin Cunde will return to Beijing!

Lin Cunyi went back before Lin Cunde. He needed to go back to handle those gifts, those gifts from nobles and those from friends. Lin Cunyi needed to prepare them in advance!

In addition, Lin Cunyi also needs to prepare things for Lin Cunde to get married. In April or May next year, after Lin Cunde's filial piety period expires, they can get married!

Although the specific time has not yet been agreed upon, it will be almost in April and May, so you need to prepare something in advance now!

In addition, no one lived in the backyard of Lin Cunde's mansion before, so it was not cleaned very much. Now it needs to be cleaned, and the furniture needs to be remade!

However, Wang Ying's house also made a lot of furniture, which was Wang Meichun's dowry. Wang Ying was very generous to Lin Cunde. The dowry Wang Ying gave to her was all mahogany furniture and the best porcelain. No matter what it was, Wang Ying is willing to give it up!

After all, there is still so much silver in the warehouse, and there is still money coming in from the cement workshop. He doesn’t know what the cement workshop looks like, but Lin Cunde prepared a 10% share for Wang Ying, and he received a dividend of 50,000 this year. Although Wang Ying didn't know how much dividends would be distributed every year in the future, 50,000 taels per year was not a lot!

Therefore, Wang Ying was very generous with the dowry for Wang Meichun and Lin Cunde's marriage!

His generosity makes people jealous, and they all think that Wang Ying is too kind to Lin Cunde! I heard that the dowry land alone includes three thousand acres, five shops, and two mansions! This is worth more than 100,000 taels!

Not to mention those valuable antique paintings and Lin Cunde’s favorite books!

Wang Ying collected almost three thousand ancient books for Lin Cunde, and these ancient books alone exceeded fifty thousand taels!

Wang Ying knew that Lin Cunde liked books, so how could she not send books to Lin Cunde?

Lin Cunde learned that Wang Ying had prepared so many dowry things, and wrote to Wang Ying. Wang Ying simply said, "What does my dowry have to do with you? Just keep it!"

After Lin Cunde received the letter, he also smiled. This uncle was still good to him, and he had been good from the beginning.

That evening, Lin Cunde led a thousand cavalry back to the capital. The officials here in the capital soon knew that Lin Cunde had returned to the capital. Twelve days before the New Year, Lin Cunde was back!

Lin Cunde had just come back. Wang Chenghai and the others brought people over to move things. Lin Cunde didn't care about that and went straight to the study. It was too cold outside, but the study was comfortable!

Not long after Lin Cunde sat down, Lin Cunyi came in, smiled at Lin Cunde and said, "Xiaowu, Master Yu is here!"

After hearing this, Lin Cunde was stunned. As soon as he entered the house, Yu Qian came. Why are you so anxious?

However, Lin Cunde still asked Lin Cunyi to bring Yu Qian in, and Lin Cunde also sat there and started making tea.

After a while, Yu Qian followed Lin Cunyi in. Lin Cuunde stood up, raised his hands to Yu Qian and said, "I have met Mr. Yu!"

"Hahaha, I'm so rude. I was very happy when I heard that you were back. I thought you would be busy tomorrow and would have to go to the palace and Wang Ying's mansion. The generals would also come to visit you. , Therefore, I came here in advance so that I won’t be unable to find anyone when I look for you!” Yu Qian said with a smile and cupped his hands at Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde smiled and made an invitation gesture to Yu Qian. He also sat down and said, "How can I do that? If Master Yu wants to see me, when can I not see him? But what's the important thing?"

"There are a lot of things. Some things need to be discussed with you in advance. Therefore, I will probably talk to you very late tonight. If you are tired, just lean over and listen!" Yu Qian sat down and faced him. Lin Cunde said with a smile.

"What's the big deal? Do you still need to come forward to talk to me? Do you still have problems in front of Taifu?" Lin Cunde said with a smile, he was also helpless, he had just come back!

Yu Qian waved his hand and said: "Don't put a high hat on me, I won't do this, and I won't waste time. I will probably rectify the government and promote the New Deal after the new year. Wang Zhi has not taken advantage of it yet, although he has not It will have a big impact, but if he continues to work hard, I will be worried about him!

During the rectification of Southern Zhili and Northern Zhili, as well as the official administration of Shandong, they must have been under tremendous pressure. Those ministers wrote impeachment memorials every day and received many threatening letters. Therefore, I am going to Shanxi this time. Shaanxi is being reorganized. There are many vassal kings in these two provinces, so I will probably be threatened too! So I came here to ask for your help. You still have influence on the army in Shanxi. Several counts have a good relationship with you. I also hope that you can write letters to them and take care of me! "

Yu Qian sat opposite Lin Cunde and looked at Lin Cunde. This time Wang Zhi was able to escape without being torn apart by the vassal kings and officials because of Lin Cunde's protection. Lin Cunde wrote a letter to Cao Yi and Wei Guogong, asking them to Protect Wang Zhi!

Otherwise, Wang Zhi will be killed in Nanzhili!

"Don't worry about this. I will greet them before you go. I will definitely help you with this. I will also greet the generals of the border army and ask them to take care of you. If there is any bad news, please tell me in advance. Let me inform you!" Lin Cunde nodded and poured tea for Yu Qian. Lin Cunde would definitely do such a thing!

"Thank you, Marquis Luling. By the way, the information you gave to Wang Zhi before has now been given to me by Wang Zhi. I also came to say hello to you!" Yu Qian continued.

Lin Cunde still nodded and said: "Take it, I'm of no use to you, as long as it's useful to you!"

"Well, in addition, there is another thing that I have never thought about, which is the anti-corruption. I feel that this matter is not that simple. Why did His Majesty insist on anti-corruption before implementing the New Deal! Is he too persistent?" Yu Qian continued to Lin Cunde. asked.

When Lin Cunde heard this, he looked up at Yu Qian, and then said with a smile: "I don't know about this matter. Maybe Your Majesty has his own considerations. I will ask about this someday!"

After hearing this, Yu Qian pointed at Lin Cunde with a smile and said: "You concealed this matter, you did not tell me the truth, this matter cannot be that simple. I have thought about it many times, but I have never figured out why your majesty insists on doing this! "

"Then why don't you ask His Majesty directly? Ask me, I just don't know!" Lin Cunde smiled and said.

"That's it. What's the purpose?" Yu Qian sat there, frowning and thinking!

Lin Cunde didn't speak, just drank tea quietly and poured tea!

"Can't you tell me about this?" Yu Qian looked at Lin Cunde and asked.

"How dare you, a minister, talk nonsense about His Majesty's affairs? If you want to know, you can ask Your Majesty directly. Your Majesty may tell you, but I can't tell you!" Lin Cunde shook his head and said with a smile.

Yu Qian nodded after hearing this and stopped asking, but he still wanted to know what the purpose was.

"Is there anything else?" Lin Cunde continued to ask.

"There are many memorials to impeach you in the court, do you know?" Yu Qian looked at Lin Cunde and said with a smile.

After hearing this, Lin Cunde looked at Yu Qian dumbfounded, impeaching himself? What are you doing to impeach yourself? I have been in Luanzhou and spent money, but now I am also making money. Moreover, the officials at the Ministry of Industry think there is no problem. Why do they want to impeach me?
