Chapter 550: Cleanup Plan
The braised chicken has tender skin and smooth meat, and with inexplicable spices, it is puffy before it is eaten, which makes Wang Fang's appetite greater. He gently bites the chicken with his teeth, and with the sauce on it, it is truly a human delicacy.
Suddenly, he also looked up at Lin Haoran with some understanding, and found that although this young man's political stance was very "slippery", it was somewhat philosophical in it.
In a way, the old and the new are really not opposites. He can taste this braised chicken, or he can taste the boiled chicken that he originally liked, and there is no absolute opposition in essence.
As for which dish is suitable for presenting to the saint, it naturally has to be this braised chicken, after all, it is indeed more on the table than a simple boiled chicken.
For Lin Haoran's investigation, Wang Fang was generally satisfied, so he threw out the last question: "What do you think is the biggest benefit of opening the sea to the Ming Dynasty?" ”
Lin Haoran just found out that Ali had been eavesdropping, so he glanced at her, wondering what the identity of this old man was. Ali gave him a serious expression, with what he knew about this woman, I am afraid that it was not deliberately cool, but the meaning of making him take it seriously.
Faced with the old man's question, he also replied seriously: "Rich people! ”
"Not a powerhouse?" Wang Fang was quite surprised by this answer.
Now Ming officials do anything, even if they preside over a county test, they like to use slogans such as strengthening the country, after all, this kind of goal can be more "favored" by the upper echelons. Now Lin Haoran is in charge of opening the sea, and he has such a low profile.
"With today's imperial court, even if the Guangdong City Bosi can bring tens or even millions of taxes to the imperial court, it is just that the Ming Dynasty's finances are not so tight, and it cannot reach a rich country, let alone a strong country!" Lin Haoran shook his head with a wry smile, and then said frankly: "Now that Leizhou is open to the sea and trade with the Nanyang countries, I can only ensure that the people of Leizhou live a rich life." Buying goods from elsewhere can also benefit other regions, and so on. ”
Hey?
Wang Fu was moved by Lin Haoran's seemingly simple words, his thoughts and practices were extremely pragmatic, and he looked at him deeply and said: "If you are foolish, if you are wise, you are really a wise person!" ”
With this conversation, he already didn't dare to despise this Wen Kui because of his age. Based on these words and deeds alone, it is no longer something that ordinary officials can understand, and he is an official who can really do things in a down-to-earth manner.
Suddenly, he understood why Xu Jie and Wu Shan wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law, this person was not only from a good background, but also a good seedling that was rare in a hundred years. If he cultivates carefully, he will definitely be able to enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister one day, and even become a generation of famous ministers of the Ming Dynasty.
"Mr. Wang, you have praised it!" Lin Haoran maintained a modest posture to the end, and returned the salute.
The tiger girl had already eaten the big chicken leg, and some juice was on her hands, she stretched out her tongue and licked it carefully, licking the juice between her fingers cleanly, and then couldn't help but lick the corners of her mouth.
After being satisfied, he raised his head and looked at Lin Haoran and said suspiciously: "Brother, I don't seem to have introduced this guest to you yet, right?" ”
When Lin Haoran heard this confused words, he really wanted to beat this girl up, and he could throw anything away if he had chicken legs, do you know that your brother's heart is hanging now.
Although there were many complaints in his heart, his face was pretending to be puzzled and he arched his hand towards Wang Fu and said: "I think Mr. Wang's bearing is extraordinary, but he once held an official position in Daming?" ”
Wang Fang naturally didn't intend to hide it from Lin Haoran, but Hu Niu first said: "Brother, you really don't know him!" He is the governor of Liangguang, and he is even greater than your officials! ”
Hu Niu's tone was a little long, and after speaking, she still showed an expression of "I don't lie to you", tilting her neck to look at Lin Haoran.
Governor of Liangguang?
Lin Haoran's brain "buzzed", if in the entire Liangguang region, who is the person he must be afraid of, it must be the new governor of Liangguang, Wang Fang, the military squire of the military department and the right hand of the Imperial Palace, the governor of Liangguang military affairs and the governor of Liangguang.
In particular, Wang Fang was a jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, and he stayed in the officialdom for a full thirty-five years. Although he can't enter the cabinet due to his background, this qualification is very scary, and the average six books have to sell some face, even his future father-in-law Wu Shan can't despise him. And he and Xu Jie are friends in the same department, but I don't know if they are core members of the Xu Party.
In the face of a character like Wang Fu, even if Lin Haoran is in full swing in his official career, he has to obediently lower his posture. But not to mention, the other party is his nominal boss, Wang Fang is still the right hand of the Imperial Palace.
As the third-in-command of the official system, although it is not like the Ministry of Officials who controls the promotion of officials in the world, no matter which official is targeted by him, he has to take off a layer of skin.
"Lin Haoran, the prefect of Leizhou, has seen Lord Ministry, please forgive the official talent's faux pas!" Lin Haoran hurriedly stood up from the dining table, just to kneel and bow to this Shangguan according to the current rules of the Ming Dynasty.
After all, there is only one "sea pen holder", and Lin Haoran naturally can't do it.
"Lin Futai, no!" Wang Fu raised his hand to stop it, and then looked at Hu Niu and said gently: "Today I am just a guest invited by Hu Niu, you can do your best as a landlord!" ”
Lin Haoran stood a little hesitant, although Wang Fang said this, but he didn't dare to take it seriously. Wang Fu looked at Lin Haoran and hesitated, then looked at him with a straight face and reproached: "I think you are a person who does things, how can you become such a mother-in-law?" ”
"Xiaguan...... Listen to it! Lin Haoran naturally doesn't like to bow down, and seeing that Wang Fan really doesn't mean to put on an official show, then he naturally just gets off the donkey.
It's just that I still can't hide my shock in my heart, this guest who was brought back by Hu Niu turned out to be the new governor of Liangguang, the feudal official who can investigate all the guards in Liangguang.
After learning Wang Fang's identity, the atmosphere inevitably became a little rigid.
Fortunately, Lin Haoran led the topic to how Hu Niu and Wang Fu got acquainted, and Hu Niu was a little talker, and under her eloquent narration, the atmosphere returned to the same as before.
Lin Haoran didn't expect that the commander of Gao Zhouwei would be so bold that he would frame the blame on him. If his clan is convicted of stealing pearls, the consequences are really unimaginable, even if he is not directly dismissed, I am afraid that he will have to be transferred from the Leizhou Mansion.
And from this incident, he also realized that it was impossible for a small guard commander to be hostile to him, I am afraid that there were other officials, and even some Beijing officials were promoting this matter.
In fact, it is no wonder that the current Ming officialdom is different from the early Ming Dynasty, and there is no shortage of party disputes in the court.
Now that the Yan Party and the Xu Party are fighting fiercely, Qingliu is faintly headed by Wu Shan, and he will inevitably be valued by other parties. Once his future father-in-law, Wu Shan, enters the cabinet, he will naturally become an important target of attack by other parties.
Wang Fang was naturally able to see these problems, so he took the initiative to ask about one thing: "If you are foolish, I heard that you will implement the Qingmiao Law in Leizhou Mansion next spring, but is there such a thing?" ”
"I wonder who the Ministry of Education listened to?" Lin Haoran's brows frowned slightly, and he was secretly angry in his heart.
Wang Anshi's green seedling method deteriorated in the later period, bringing great disasters to the people, so he was blamed by the scholars. Now if he says that he is going to implement the Qingmiao Law in Leizhou Mansion, this can definitely be regarded as a political smear.
"An old friend who has a relationship, but I don't know if it's true?" Wang Fu was a little disguised, replied lightly, and then asked with a straight face.
Lin Haoran's brows furrowed even deeper, knowing that this problem was more serious than he imagined. His United Silver Trumpet had only just been established, and the seeds of the cotton had not yet been procured, and the matter had already reached the ears of the Governor of Liangguang, and some people were really ill-intentioned.
In order to promote the people of Leizhou to plant cotton, the United Bank he established really wanted to follow Wang Anshi's seedling law and planned to lend seeds to the ordinary people in Leizhou Prefecture.
"Lord Ministry, I just said it! If Da Ming wants to become rich and strong, it is to use new and effective methods to solve problems after encountering them! Lin Haoran knew that the best way to break the resistance was to win the support of the governor of Liangguang, and then he said eloquently: "The old green seedling law is problematic, but it can be improved on the old basis, so as to form a new green seedling law." Most of the cotton in the cotton weaving industry in Leizhou Prefecture needs to be purchased from other places, not to mention whether it can find a suitable source of cotton, transportation alone is a great disadvantage. In the same way, the joint workshop borrowed the model of the seedling method, intending to lend the seeds to the common people, and return the summer harvest to the cotton. This is actually a civil act, but the Leizhou government is also worried about the harm to the people, so it agreed with the United Bank: if there is a bad harvest, it will be exempted from seed money. Not to mention whether this is Wang Wengong's Qingmiao Law, this law has nothing to do with the Leizhou Mansion, and it is completely a commercial behavior spontaneously initiated by the people. ”
After a few words, Lin Haoran re-explained the difference between the new seedling method, and at the same time picked himself cleanly, and put forward a very tempting premise: "If there is a bad harvest, the seed money must be waived".
In fact, there is no problem with Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Law, but any class is inevitably greedy, the squires want to squeeze profits from the people, and the government cannot really become a saint who does not eat the fireworks of the world.
When the Song Dynasty was financially tight, some local officials were even more ruthless than the squires. The squire can still know that "fishing in the dry water", but some greedy officials do not have such scruples, and directly knock out the bones and suck the marrow of the people, causing the Qingmiao Law to be hated by the people.
The biggest difference between the new seedling method of United Silver and Wang Anshi's seedling method is that its starting point is not to extract profits from the people, but to want the people to be able to provide cotton raw materials.
The joint workshop can solve the problem of cotton raw materials, and can weave more cotton cloth to sell overseas, so as to achieve a win-win situation with ordinary people and reap their own benefits.
Wang Fu was born in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he saw this kind of thing more thoroughly, so he nodded lightly and said: "It seems that the old man's old friend is also hearsay, don't take it seriously!" ”
"Lord Ministry, as long as this mansion is in the prefect of Leizhou, he will definitely keep an eye on the United Silver Horn, and will not let him follow in the footsteps of Wang Wengong Qingmiaofa!" Lin Haoran promised seriously again.
"Huh...... I'll make a note of what you said! If this happens to the people, the Governor will personally take you accountable! Wang Fang smiled slightly, and then pointed at him and said.
Lin Haoran faced this warning, and immediately overjoyed in his heart, this matter was obviously supported by Wang Fang, so he arched his hand and said: "Thank you, Lord Ministry!" ”
He knew that the introduction of the Green Seedlings Law would inevitably touch the interests of some squires, and these people would naturally resist him, and they were already planning to fight in mode.
But he never thought that Wang Fang, the governor of Liangguang, was brought over by Hu Niu and won his support. With the support of the governor of Liangguang, the resistance to this matter must be greatly reduced, or even disappear into invisibility.
Seeing that they were chatting about the same, the tiger girl who had been eating looked up and asked, "Brother, are you going to Jinzhou Island to exterminate the Blue Flag Gang?" ”
"Not bad! The day after tomorrow, I will lead Leizhou Wei and Shendian Wei to the island, mainly to clear the Blue Flag Gang entrenched on the island! Lin Haoran nodded, and then replied earnestly in the face of Wang Fang's gaze.
"Then you're going to take me there!" Hu Niu took a bite of rice and said vaguely.
"Why did I take you!" Lin Haoran's brows furrowed, he didn't plan to take this wild girl, after all, there was a certain danger there.
Hu Niu's eyes widened, as if she felt that what he said was very wrong, and said seriously: "Of course you have to take me!" I can protect you, and it's such a fun thing, shouldn't you take me with you? ”
Yes, in the end, it's this little girl's little Jiujiu, mainly because she's playful.
After the last heavy blow to the Blue Flag Gang, the recovery of Jinzhou Island was put on the agenda, and the plan to exterminate the Blue Flag Gang was also advanced.
After many preparations, and Yan Song also gave him authorization, so he decided to take Leizhou Wei and Shendian Wei to the island the day after tomorrow. The Blue Flag Gang entrenched on it was directly wiped out, and the pirates in Leizhou Bay were completely swept away, clearing this major obstacle to the opening of the sea.
November 21, eye.
It is bordered by Donghai Island in the north, Leizhou Bay in the west, the South China Sea in the southeast, and the ocean in depth, with a total area of about 56 square kilometers. Jinzhou Island is a volcanic island, which is the burial place of Song Duanzong in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and it is also the place where Lu Xiufu and others supported the eight-year-old emperor Zhao Yu as the emperor.
For this historical fact, there is actually controversy, some people believe that the place where Lu Xiufu jumped into the sea with Zhao Yu on his back was not Jinzhou Island, but Yashan.
After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, there were no people living on the island, but it was only used as a safe haven for sea transport ships. Previously, it was home to several bands of pirates, but since it was overrun by the Blue Banners, it has become his independent kingdom.
