By the time Wu Liangsi, Wei Guangwei and others came back from Quanzhou with He Fengsheng and his party, Feng Ziying's side had almost handled the matter.

After solving this matter, Feng Ziying's heart was also down-to-earth, which was enough to give an explanation to Emperor Yonglong and the army, and it could also lay a good foundation for his involvement in many things.

However, there will definitely be many people who are not satisfied, such as those wealthy businessmen who have already planned to divide and annex these people, and for example, the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant and the group of people from the Criminal Department who originally hoped to use these guys to sacrifice the flag and invite favors, and even maybe Emperor Yonglong originally wanted to count on this round of actions by the Dragon Forbidden Lieutenant and the Criminal Department to fill the increasingly depleted inner treasury.

However, it should be said that Emperor Yonglong is still a relatively sober emperor, and he understands what he mentioned in his recital, and he also knows that if these people can use it, it is much more valuable and meaningful than simply getting three or five hundred thousand taels of silver.

But I'm sorry, this kind of thing is originally the eight immortals crossing the sea to show their magical powers, and the conflict of interests is everywhere, depending on your own way.

Cui Jingrong should have noticed something, but this one is also an old fox, and he didn't break Feng Ziying, but just reminded Feng Ziying to understand where his foundation is.

Feng Ziying understood what Cui Jingrong meant, it was no problem to cooperate with the emperor, and even to a certain extent, it could be understood and tolerated by the emperor's arms, after all, striking a balance between the emperor and the cabinet was itself a profound science for officials to seek promotion.

It is often the lower level that needs to win the favor of the emperor or cabinet bosses to achieve rapid ascension, and after a certain level, it is more necessary to stand at a higher level to look at the problem with a broader vision and seek some kind of balance.

Feng Ziying is now just a sixth-grade official, and before he enters the fourth-rank official, he can be left and right between the emperor and the six cabinet bigwigs without much scruples, not to mention that Feng Ziying himself has some aura bonuses.

But after he has passed the fourth grade, especially after entering the sequence of the third-grade master, if he wants to go further, he can't just win the favor of a certain person, but even if Feng Ziying is evil, in Cui Jingrong's opinion, it will be a matter of one or two decades.

In short, below the fourth grade, you can rely on winning the favor of a certain pavilion elder or even six Shangshu on the premise of maintaining a certain reputation, and you can achieve rapid climbing in the official career, of course, you can hug the emperor's thick legs, and the effect will be better.

After the fourth grade, you can't have too outrageous moves, otherwise you are very likely to offend the other party when you please one party, and enter the three-grade sequence, that is, you really have to rely on your own strength to speak, and it is not a moment or something where you can jump up with the approval of the first assistant or the emperor.

No one has ever told Feng Ziying about these truths, Qi Yongtai's temperament naturally won't tell him, Qiao Yingjia will only occasionally mention it, but he won't say it either, Cui Jingrong has become more and more close during this two-month trip, and he can still point one or two from time to time, but it's all about things, but for Feng Ziying, who has accumulated decades of officialdom experience in his previous life, this Da Zhou officialdom is actually no different.

On the surface, it seems that it is nothing more than standing in line with others, or taking the line, which seems to be completely different, but in reality, it has never been so simple.

Team factions are never monolithic, and large factions are also divided into small factions, and your position will also become blurred and complicated due to the position of different levels, you may be this camp and when it comes to specific matters, you may have another different level of faction identity.

For example, Wei Guangwei opposed the transfer of the craftsmen and craftsmen of the Qingjiang Shipyard and Longjiang Shipyard to the private shipyards that might be set up in Denglai in the future, knowing that this was beneficial to the defense of the north, especially Liaodong, and that he was a native of the north, so he should naturally support it without hesitation, but standing in the camp of the Ministry of Industry, he could not agree.

It's just a matter of profit.

In the same way, in terms of the use of debt funds in Kaihai, Qiao Yingjia, who is also a Beidi scholar, is more inclined to support Jiubian, while Qi Yongtai stands at a higher angle, or as a Beizhishi person, he is very aware of the importance of Liaodong, so he is more supportive of supporting Jiubian to strengthen defense At the same time, it is also necessary to promote the construction of coastal defense transportation between Denglai and southern Liaoning, which has won the recognition of the Wuxun nobles headed by Wang Ziteng.

However, in a major aspect, they have to unite to fight with Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, Li Tingji, and other southern scholars in the cabinet, so as to prevent these people from using the borrowed funds for other purposes, such as filling the financial deficit.

*******

The boat traveled slowly, the north wind outside the cabin Xiao Xiao, Feng Ziying, Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng sat opposite each other and tasted tea, talking and laughing.

This business trip is basically over, and we will arrive in Yangzhou immediately, and we can take a boat and set off directly back to Beijing.

Since October, this trip has been more than two months, and it is almost the end of the year, and everyone wants to go home at the end of the year, but it is definitely too late to see this posture.

This is already the twenty-third day of the lunar month, from Yangzhou to Beijing, this is against the wind, there is no twenty or thirty days can not go back.

I have to say that the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has made the south of the Yangtze River and the north become a smooth road, whether it is passengers or goods, take this waterway, it is much more convenient than taking the land route, if you connect the Yangtze River waterway that runs through the east and west, the whole Zhou can basically rely on this ">" symbol of the waterway to achieve a general connection, the north, the south of the Yangtze River, Huguang, all in this line.

At the other end of the middle cabin, Cui Jingrong and Sun Juxiang were playing against each other, Sun Juxiang was already in a predicament, with a sunspot between his fingers, and he couldn't fall for a long time.

But Cui Jingrong picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Wei Guangwei, who was watching from the sidelines, shook his head slightly, "Brother Bofu, admit defeat, Cui Gong's chess skills can also be ranked well in the court, and at your level, you can only make up two games with me, even Ming Zhong is enough to choke, why bother to go to Cui Gong to beg for abuse?" ”

Sun Juxiang ignored it, still frowning and thinking hard.

Wu Liangsi on the other side was holding a book in his hand and reading carefully, only occasionally glancing over, "The stinky chess basket still has to compete with Cui Gong, isn't this self-inflicted?" ”

Sun Juxiang was furious, and immediately revealed the bottom, "Ming Zhong, you were very bored yesterday, what did you say when you begged me to play the next game?" said that watching chess is a true gentleman, and Xianbo is a villain,......"

Wei Guang's slightly unkind gaze immediately looked at Wu Liangsi, Wu Liangsi disagreed: "If Uncle Xian is a gentleman if he is silent when he watches chess, but he can't control his mouth, the day before yesterday, Ziying and Mengzhang played against each other, and he was there to make noise, and people respected him as a senior, and if he changed someone, he would have already put the chessboard on his head,......"

After more than two months in this line, it can be said that a cadre of people from strange to familiar, from familiar to close, although there are many things where the views are not consistent, but this friendship is real.

"Ming Zhong, you are wantonly spreading rumors to slander my reputation, Ziying is not Mengzhang's opponent, please give me some advice, how can it be said that it is noisy?" Wei Guangwei's face was slightly red, and he was very dissatisfied, "Everyone Mengzhang is Ziying's fifth son, but he still can't resist it, I am also kind, I can't bear to let the name of this stinky chess basket fall on his head,......"

"Come on, your level is stronger than Ziying, the day before yesterday I played against Ke Xuan, lost my armor after killing three games in a row, sweated through heavy clothes, and almost had to change my clothes, if you cut Ziying, a beginner, doesn't count, the name of the stinky chess basket, either you wear it, or Bo Fu carries it, I suggest that you two simply go to open a game, and ensure that the killing is difficult to solve,......"

Wu Liangsi's words were vicious, making Sun Juxiang and Wei Guangwei angry, "Ziying is not a beginner, it is said that he has been playing chess for seven or eight years,......

"Okay, Uncle Xian, don't quibble, it's really not good, as long as you win Bofu, the name of the stinky chess basket will soon belong to him?" Wu Liangsi gave him a bad idea, "But you can't learn Ziying, you always regret chess, that's not what the husband did,......"

Feng Ziying listened to the few people next door attacking each other, and by the way, she could only sigh and be silent, "Mengzhang, this game of Go is too time-consuming, how about playing the backgammon I taught you?" ”

"Forget it, Ziying doesn't know that you have so many ideas in your head, why don't you have a little talent in chess? It's just that we don't have talent, but can we have a little backbone, regret chess at every turn, and ruin three or four moves at every turn, how can we play chess? Fan Jingwen also shook his head with white eyes, refusing to play chess with Feng Ziying again.

"Ke Xuan, it's better to ...... us" Before the words came out, He Fengsheng's head was already shaking like a rattle, and he picked up a book with his hand, "Forget it, Ziying, there is no need for the two of us, playing chess with you, it is better to read the book, well, Mr. Xuanhu's "Taixi Water Law" I think it is very innovative, it is said that he and a Xiyi person co-edited, I also plan to go back to the Ministry of Industry to visit Mr. Xuanhu and ask for advice. ”

Feng Ziying's eyes fell on He Fengsheng's hand The book, "Taixi Water Law", that's right, it was compiled by Xu Guangqi, and now Xu Guangqi is Tuntian Shilangzhong.

This is another celebrity in the former time and space, but it is still shining in this dynasty, but now is not the highlight time for Xu Guangqi, and he will have to wait a few more years to slowly show his talent in all aspects, and then he will gradually be known to the world, but I don't know if he can still be like the previous time and space, or even go further?

It would be a pity if such a general practitioner could not make good use of it, especially if he envisioned to promote the popularization of science and technology education throughout the Great Zhou.

Feng Ziying was silent for a while.

Seeing that Feng Ziying habitually fell into contemplation again, Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng were also commonplace, and they exchanged glances without squeaking.
