Ming politicians

() The thirteenth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The meeting had just ended, and Su Tiancheng was going to visit King Fu.

Once the donation is arranged, there is no way to delay it. The external form is not clear. I don't know when Jiangning Battalion may go out. If Su Tiancheng leads the army, it will be difficult to implement the donation.For such a matter, he can only come forward in person, and it is difficult for Zhang Pu and Liu Zongzhou to complete the task.

He didn't want to take Liu Zongzhou with him, but Keke Liu Zongzhou insisted on going.

In fact, Su Tiancheng is not confident either. Going directly to King Fu in this way is unlikely to be effective, but even if he hits a wall, he will go. The procedure must be in place. There is no way. .

After entering Fu Wang's mansion, Liu Zongzhou was a little worried.

While waiting in the wing room, Liu Zongzhou couldn't help but speak.

"Master Su, you may be impeached when you visit the vassal. Have you never thought about the court's attitude?"

"Lord Liu, it depends on what the matter is. If we want to make friends with the feudal lord, if we want to get some benefits, or if we don't know the feudal lord clearly, it's hard to say, but we are doing it for donations, yes In order to dredge the Yellow River and find King Fu to collect donations, even if it is the impeachment of the adults in the court, it is the so-called."

"It's good for you to think so, but who knows what the court will think. If someone grasps this point, regardless of the rest, it will be very troublesome."

"That's the so-called prefect. I'm the magistrate, and I always try to find a way to do things. If I'm always cautious and don't dare to go overboard, I probably won't be able to do anything well."

Zhu Changxun, the obese King of Fortune, was supported by his servants.Entered the wing.

Both Su Tiancheng and Liu Zongzhou stood up, facing Fu Wang Jishou, etiquette is indispensable, after all, Fu Wang is a relative of the emperor.

"Master Su, don't be too polite."

"This is Mr. Liu Zongzhou. The king has long admired him. It's just that he has no chance to meet him. Mr. Liu is a great Confucian, and Wang admires him so much. If there is a chance in the future, he will definitely ask Mr. Liu for advice."

Su Tiancheng blinked, Zhu Changxun is smart enough.On such an occasion, he spared no effort to promote Liu Zongzhou, which can be regarded as a corporal of courtesy and virtuousness. If it were changed to other circumstances, it would be enough to be impeached.But Zhu Changxun said such words in front of him without any concealment.It's a kind of trust.

In just a few words, two meanings are expressed, and all aspects are taken into account.

Zhu Changxun is not simple.

In this world, there may be some idiots, but if you understand the prince's IQ according to certain records in history, you will suffer in the end.In other words, the one who was fooled might be himself.

It is estimated that Liu Zongzhou did not expect Zhu Changxun to speak like this.

"His Royal Highness Fu Wang is very polite. Today, I am here to visit His Highness Fu Wang together with Mr. Su."

"The opportunity is rare, the opportunity is rare, butler, quickly prepare the banquet, the king must have a drink with Master Su and Master Liu; the two adults must not refuse."

"His Royal Highness Fu is so kind, it is better to be respectful than obedience. Lord Liu is the elder of the official, with profound knowledge, and the official admires him very much. Lord Liu came to Henan Mansion for the sake of Zhongxing Academy. If there is any Opportunity, please take care of His Royal Highness Fu Wang."

A smile appeared on Zhu Changxun's face.

Su Tiancheng can't see through this smile. Zhu Changxun is so fat that many smiles and angry faces are covered under Houhou's fat, making you unable to understand.

"That's that, Mr. Su is a local official of Henan Province, and the king will definitely spare no effort in matters supported by the government."

There was a smile on Liu Zongzhou's face, apparently thinking of talking about the donation.

Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng spoke hastily.

"Master Liu came to His Royal Highness Fu's mansion for the first time, and the officials thought that it was better to visit it, once familiar with it, so as not to be confused the next time."

"Hey, look at Wang's way of hospitality, housekeeper, ask Quanzi to accompany Mr. Liu, and look around the mansion. Go and tell Quanzi to respect Mr. Liu and ask for advice. Mr. Liu, it's a bit inconvenient for Wang , I can’t accompany you in person, please forgive me, Mr. Liu.”

Liu Zongzhou looked at Su Tiancheng, and stood up reluctantly.

Where does he know Su Tiancheng's thoughts.

This is not to say that Liu Zongzhou doesn't know the rules in the officialdom, but Liu Zongzhou has always been a gentleman, and it is impossible for him to be so familiar with some subtle things. He obviously didn't understand what Zhu Changxun said just now.

Su Tiancheng understood.

Zhu Changxun already knew their origins, and his attitude was very clear. I'm afraid there will be no results for this fundraising. Under such circumstances, Su Tiancheng needs to compete with Zhu Changxun alone. If Zhu Changxun is still stubborn and relies on his own prince Su Tiancheng wouldn't be polite if he didn't take away his identity.

Regardless of your blood relationship between Zhu Changxun and the emperor, I have mastered the dark lines of the Jinyiwei, especially the Jiangning camp, and I will always trouble you, monitor your every move, and keep secrets to the emperor. If you lose your way of making money, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it either.

Besides, the royal relatives and relatives, in the fief, there are many violations of law and discipline, others will not take it seriously, it does not mean that Su Tiancheng will not take it seriously, just find any reason, you Zhu Changxun will not be able to live a comfortable life.

After Liu Zongzhou left the wing, Zhu Changxun waved his hand, and the people around him also withdrew.

In the wing room, only Zhu Changxun and Su Tiancheng were left.

"Master Su's ability to govern the country, Wang admires. In just one year, Luoyang has undergone tremendous changes. Seeing that another Luoyang city is about to be built, it's a pity that the king can't get involved in political affairs, otherwise he will definitely recommend it to the emperor."

"His Royal Highness, Fu Wang, is polite. I just did my job, and there are still many things that I haven't done well. This time, officials from prefectures and counties in Henan are called together to discuss and discuss, and list many matters that must be handled. Luoyang It is the fief of His Royal Highness Fu Wang, and the lower official is the magistrate of Henan Prefecture, and regarding the construction of Luoyang, His Highness Fu Wang and the lower official have the same goal."

A smile appeared on Zhu Changxun's face again.

"The king heard that Mr. Su is going to dredge the Yellow River."

"There is indeed such a thing, and after the start of the new year, we will start to do it."

"Very well, dredging the Yellow River is a major event that benefits the country and the people. Master Su can directly report to the court and implore the court to allocate silver taels to dredge the Yellow River. Wang still remembers that in June of the fifth year of Chongzhen, the Yellow River The breach in Mengjin County, the tragedy at that time, at that time, Mr. Su also came to Henan to relieve the disaster on behalf of the court."

"What His Royal Highness Fu said is that it is precisely because of what happened this time that the lower officials consider that the Yellow River must be completely dredged in the territory of Henan Prefecture so that the Yellow River will benefit the people instead of becoming a disaster."

After a slight pause, Su Tiancheng spoke unhurriedly.

"As for the silver taels needed to dredge the Yellow River, the lower official didn't make up his mind to report to the imperial court. The imperial court is very difficult now, and can't get so much silver tael. Since the lower official is the magistrate of Henan Province, as a local parent official, he should consider If these things are insufficient in money and neglected to manage them, it will lead to catastrophe in the future, and the lower officials will bear the blame."

"Master Su is loyal, but the sun and the moon are shining, it's not easy, it's really not easy."

Zhu Changxun even gave a thumbs up to express his approval for Su Tiancheng, but in his words, there was no mention of money.

Su Tiancheng believed that Zhu Changxun must have known about the fundraising. The government government held a meeting, which caused a sensation. Not only officials at all levels, but even the people of Luoyang City paid special attention to it. Dredging the Yellow River is such a big matter. It may not be spread out, but what follows is the matter of fundraising.

Zhu Changxun's delay in raising donations shows that he doesn't want to give money at all.

This is also understandable, no one is willing to take out money for a reason, let alone a small amount, the vassal king has no status in politics, and what he does, so in terms of money, he is very strict. Pass.

Looking at Zhu Changxun who was pretending to be pondering, Su Tiancheng knew that he had to take the initiative to speak.

"His Royal Highness, the officials and Lord Liu came to the mansion to collect donations for the purpose of dredging the Yellow River."

A smile appeared on Zhu Changxun's face again.

"Master Su, dredging the Yellow River is supposed to be a good thing, and the king should support it vigorously, but the king has difficulties. The salary given by the court is limited. With so many people in the palace, the expenses are huge, and the income cannot be met. It is true that there is no money. , but Mr. Su has such determination, Wang still gritted his teeth, donated 500 taels of silver, Mr. Su, what do you think?"

There was no expression on Su Tiancheng's face.

"His Royal Highness Fu is so supportive, I am very grateful, but today I am going to visit His Highness Fu at the mansion, and I have one more thing that I need to talk about in detail, and I also need to get the support of His Highness Fu."

"Master Su has any request, just say it."

"After the beginning of the new year, the lower officials are going to thoroughly regulate the merchants and shops in Henan Province. Everything that involves salt and iron, mining taxes, grain operations, etc. must be fully regulated. Those who operate without the permission of the government will be regarded as For smuggling and trafficking, the government will detain the goods and severely punish the traffickers and operators. In this matter, the lower officials have arranged for the Jiangning camp to clean up from now on. If resistance or even rioters are encountered during the cleaning process, they will be regarded as rogues , kill pardon."

Zhu Changxun tried hard to stand up, but he just couldn't.

Sweat dripped from his face, even though it was cold winter, even though the temperature in the wing room was not very high.

Su Tiancheng's move is different from drawing salary from the bottom of the pot. Zhu Changxun's business scope is very wide, and salt, iron and mines are the most important. Of course, these business projects have never thought of contributing a penny to the court. If the Henan government is cleaned up, What he said, but when the Jiangning battalion came forward, the nature of the army was different. Zhu Changxun was still clear about such a brave army.To be continued. , You are welcome to come to the starting point to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. . )
