Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 392

However, Liu Erleng had the best political achievements among the chief envoys of the provinces. In less than three months, he collected 100 million tax silver and more than 100 million shi of grain.Moreover, there was no bad news from Jiangxi. There was no public disturbance, and officials did not write a letter to impeach Liu Erleng.

Zhu Youjian was with Li Jing all day long, and he had never seen anyone accuse Liu Er of stunned, and based on Zhu Youjian's understanding of Li Jing, the people below would not dare to press such a memorial, so if someone sued Liu Er Zhu Youjian would not be ignorant of the state of being in a daze. In addition, with Li Jing's style of doing things, if someone sued Liu for being in a daze, Li Jing would definitely find a way to solve it instead of suppressing it.

To be honest, Zhu Youjian really couldn't think of how Liu Erleng achieved this level. In Zhu Youjian's imagination, how could a rough man like Liu Erleng be the opponent of those veterans in the officialdom?

While Zhu Youjian was thinking about it, he suddenly heard Li Jing say with a smile: "Liu Erleng's 100 million tax money this time will really play a big role. If it is bigger, and with the 100 million shi of grain, even if there is a drought in the coming year, we will be more confident."

Shen Zheng said with a smile: "This time Liu Er Leng took the lead. I guess Dahu will not be able to sit still. In the coming year, Chen Dahu in Nanzhili will definitely go to war."

Li Jing shook his head: "In my estimation, Chen Dahu will send a letter soon. Liu Erleng and Chen Dahu are as close as brothers. If Liu Erleng has a problem here, he will definitely tell Chen Dahu the solution, and Chen Dahu will definitely do it. But Nan The situation in Zhili is much more complicated than that in Jiangxi, and it will not be so fast to figure out the results. However, I think that if Chen Dahu didn't write a letter a year ago, there will be news in the next year."

Shen Zheng and the others nodded in agreement.

Li Jing's judgment was correct, Chen Dahu did send someone to Beijing a few years ago, and he also sent four women to Li Jing.

Looking at the four beautiful women in front of him, Li Jing felt that the blood vessels on his forehead were about to burst.

Staring at the soldiers sent by Chen Dahu, Li Jing said angrily: "What has Chen Dahu been doing all day in Nanjing for so long? Do you know how to find a woman? Look at Liu Erleng, Liu Erleng sent me 100 million yuan." Shuiyin, he sent me four women. You go back and tell Chen Dahu that if he doesn’t want to do it anymore, he’ll get the hell out of here immediately.”

"Marshal, it's true that these four women were sent by my general, but my general was entrusted by General Liu to send the women to the marshal, or he was threatened by General Liu. General Liu said, if my general If you don’t arrange a woman for the commander, you won’t teach his methods to my general.” The soldier hurriedly said.

"Huh? What did you say? Was Chen Dahu threatened by Liu Erleng? Fuck! What is the relationship between Liu Erleng and Chen Dahu? Will Liu Erleng threaten Chen Dahu? Someone, take this nonsense bastard out and beat him forty Board." Li Jing said angrily.

Seeing that Li Jing was angry, the soldier suddenly realized that he had said something wrong, and hurriedly knelt down on the ground: "Commander, calm down, the little one should die, you shouldn't talk nonsense, please don't be angry, Commander, you will ruin your body if you are angry. Even if the little one dies, he cannot escape the blame."

Li Jing waved his hand: "Go out and talk back after receiving the board."

The soldier kowtowed to Li Jing several times, and followed Xiao Wu out to receive the board.

After a while, Xiao Wu led the limping soldier in. Li Jing looked at the soldier coldly and said, "Do you know why I beat you?"

The soldier lowered his head and said, "Because you are talking nonsense."

Li Jing shook his head: "You are a soldier of Duhu. It is right to defend your general, but you can't talk like that. Do you know how much trouble you will cause if your words are spread? Good guy, Liu Erlen threatened Chen Dahu? Are the two generals under me at odds?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "Young one didn't mean that. At that time, the person sent by General Liu to Nanjing to deliver the letter was by my side when the person who delivered the letter was talking to my general. I knew that what General Liu said was just a joke."

"Yeah, you know it's a joke, but it's different when other people hear it. They will think that Liu Erlen has caught something about Chen Dahu, and then they will guess what mistake Chen Dahu made. Then someone will investigate Chen Dahu, even if Chen Dahu is fine, he will cause a lot of trouble. With Chen Dahu's temper, can he bear it? Maybe something will happen. As a subordinate, you don't even have time to share your boss's worries. How can you not What about talking nonsense responsibly?" Li Jing said.

Sweat broke out on the forehead of the soldier when he heard this: "The little one is ignorant, the commander is right, next time the little one must pay attention to what he says."

Li Jingjing nodded: "I hope you can remember today's beating and what I just said. Let me tell you the truth, if you weren't Chen Dahu's personal soldier, I would have dragged you out and hacked."

"Thank you, Marshal, for your mercy." The soldier hurriedly said.

Li Jing waved his hand: "Let me ask you, why did Liu Erlen ask Chen Dahu to help me find a woman?"

The soldier muttered, seeing Li Jing looking at him seriously, he had no choice but to say: "General Cao asked the two generals to look for it. General Liu didn't want to look for it, so he asked General Chen to help him look for it."

"General Cao, Cao Wenzhao? Why did he ask Er Leng and Da Hu to find me a woman?" Li Jing asked suspiciously.

The soldier hurriedly said: "That's it. General Cao said that the commander has no one to take care of him. Qinhuai is so beautiful, so he asked the two generals to find some kind and considerate servants to serve the commander. General Liu didn't want to look for him, and said he was sorry for his wife. So I asked my general for help. My general didn't want to, but General Cao promised to give the two generals some benefits. It seems that when he used troops against Mobei in the future, General Cao agreed to take the two generals with him. The two generals were tempted, so they agreed. down."

Li Jing smiled wryly when he heard this, Cao Wenzhao was the one who fiddled with this matter.

Thinking of Cao Wenzhao's manipulation of Chen Dahu and Liu Erleng, and going straight to their weakness, he was really sure.

After waving his hand, Li Jing said, "Don't mention this matter again, let me ask you, Chen Dahu didn't just find me a woman during this time, did he? How is the political affairs handled?"

The soldier hurriedly said: "My general is busy dealing with government affairs all day long, so why would he care about such small things? These four women were found by the younger ones."

Li Jing glanced at the soldier: "Then tell me, what kind of government affairs did Chen Dahu handle?"

The soldier thought for a while and said: "After my general arrived in Nanjing, the first thing he did was to take down the military power of the eunuch guarding Nanjing, take the military power in his own hands, and then start to implement the decrees made by the general, but those people in Nanjing It's all positive and negative, and nothing was done in the first two months.

Later, General Liu sent someone to give General Chen an idea. After General Chen adopted it, the situation in Nanjing quickly opened up. However, our action was many days later than that in Jiangxi, and the situation in Nanjing was far worse than that in Jiangxi. It's much more complicated. Years ago, less than 100 million taels of tax silver was collected.General Chen said that it would be boring to send it to Beijing after collecting 100 million yuan. "

Li Jingjing nodded, knowing that Chen Dahu had a good face, Nanjing was far more prosperous than Jiangxi, Liu Erleng sent 100 million silver, he only gave a few 10 taels, for fear of being laughed at.

"What's the reaction of those officials in Nanjing?" Li Jing asked.

The soldier pondered for a while and said: "How can those people react? Nine and a half out of ten people opposed the commander-in-chief's decree. Fortunately, these people are all empty-handed, and my general doesn't need to talk to them, otherwise, they can be punished. They're annoying."

Li Jing nodded silently upon hearing this.

Nanzhili originally did not have a political envoy, because Nanzhili is the southern capital of Ming Dynasty, that is, the second capital, and there is also an administrative team in Nanjing City. Yes, the chief officials of these departments are at the same level as the officials of various ministries in Beijing, and they are all higher than the chief envoy. Although these officials have no real power, the chief envoy is probably nothing in the eyes of these people. It is simply impossible to control this group of people.

Li Jing appointed Chen Dahu as the political envoy of Nanzhili, in fact, he was preparing for the abolition of Nanzhili in the future.

Although officials in Southern Zhili do not have any real power, working in Nanjing is tantamount to retirement, but after all, Nanjing still has the signs of various ministries, and the ranks are the same as those in Beijing. One country has two capitals, two teams, and it is a joke to spread the word .

And there is a big hidden danger here. If something goes wrong with the emperor in Beijing, without a confirmed heir, Nanjing is likely to start a new stove, and then they will fight each other.

In fact, the most powerful official in Nanjing was the guarding eunuch, who was in charge of soldiers and money, equivalent to the emperor of Tu.Therefore, after Chen Dahu arrived in Nanjing, the first thing he did was to take down the guarding eunuch and take the military power into his hands.

Li Jing didn't ask how Chen Dahu took down the guardian eunuch. Since Chen Dahu was appointed to sit in Nanjing, Li Jing would not ask about the details, he just needed to know the result.

In fact, there are some things that Li Jing knows without asking. With Chen Dahu's character, seeing the guardian eunuch flaunting his power and arrogance, he might have been arrested at that time.

Chen Dahu dared to do this, because his backer was himself, and the backer of the guarding eunuch was the emperor.Now that the emperor has no right to speak, it is nothing for Chen Dahu to arrest a guarding eunuch.

After inquiring about people and things in Nanjing for a while, seeing the soldier's forehead sweating, Li Jing waved his hand and ordered someone to take him down for treatment.

After the soldiers withdrew, Li Jing pondered for a while, sighed, and shook his head slightly.For the time being, he can't handle the personnel affairs in Nanjing personally. After all, Ming Dynasty hasn't changed the dynasty, so he can't just lay off this organization.

If someone like Chen Dahu is allowed to sit in Nanjing, this group of people should always be more honest, even if something happens, they still have room for maneuver.

Sitting silently at the desk, Li Jing picked up the pen and wanted to write a letter to Chen Dahu, but after thinking about it, he put the pen down again.The fact that Chen Dahu didn't send him a letter asking for help after being in Nanjing for such a long time shows that he can handle it, and the situation in Nanjing has gradually opened up, so it is really unnecessary for him to write a letter to Chen Dahu at this time.
