Fang Jin ordered people to take two official robes, one of these two official robes was an official uniform, a regular uniform.

The official uniform is the official reception, which is often worn during the court, and the regular uniform can be worn as an official when going out and inspecting the people.

Both robes are brand new.

Fang Jin said that this was what he was going to use when he went to Huguang to serve as the deputy envoy of the inspection envoy.

When he received the appointment, Fang Jin immediately ordered people to do two things, but he didn't expect that before he could take office, the imperial court ordered him to go to Henan to participate in politics.

According to the procurator, the deputy envoy and the prefect are all the same four products.

For example, Lin Yanchao saw Hu Tixue when he was young, he felt how unattainable it was at the time, but now he is just the same as him.

At the same time, there is a good sign for this official uniform, and he will be promoted as soon as he does the official uniform.

Of course, Lin Yanchao was glad to thank him, and after looking carefully, these four-grade public uniforms are satin crewneck shirts, which are similar to those worn in the past with five-grade public uniforms, but the difference is that the color of the clothes has changed from cyan to red, that is, crimson.

Then there is the belt of the four-rank official uniform is decorated with golden lychees, and the five-rank is decorated with black horns.

The belt of the first-rank official is inlaid with jade.

When Zhang Juzheng was participating in the imperial examination, the examiner praised Zhang Juzheng for holding a waist jade, saying that Zhang Juzheng could be a product in the future.

The golden lychee on the belt given by Fang Jin is, of course, pure gold and worth a lot of money.

As for the regular clothes, they are also different, except for the color of the clothes, which is the complement in front of the official robe, but I saw that the embroidered cloud goose on the scarlet robe was not the white bird on the original green robe.

Civil officials fly birds, military attaches walk beasts, and the Son of Heaven gives obedience to pythons.

This is how officials are humiliated.

The birds and beasts on the complement are the methods for officials and ordinary people to distinguish the level of official positions, although this method is a little dirty, but it is also clear, it is better than the words "one product", "two products", and "three products" directly written on the official robe.

These two official robes cost a total of dozens of taels of silver, and Lin Yanchao smiled from Fang Jin.

This Fang Jin suddenly gave himself a generous gift, I don't know what it means.

Sure enough, Fang Jin sighed and said, "Zong Hai, you have been promoted, but at the moment, my brother and I have a difficult matter, I have been worried for a few days and nights, and I haven't slept well." ”

Lin Yanchao had an expression that I knew this from, the last time Qiu Hu impeached Henan officials, Fang Jin was among them.

If the last crime was confirmed, Fang Jin would have to be demoted to a remote mountainous area or a smoky place.

Lin Yanchao had actually helped him once.

Lin Yanchao said: "Big ginseng, you might as well talk about it and see if the little brother can help." ”

Fang Jin nodded and said: "It's not a secret, my brother has just been promoted to the prefect, so he shouldn't interfere with these things, but there are difficulties right now." I just received the news that the household department will soon be sent to the middle of the matter to inspect the warehouse in Henan. ”

Lin Yanchao scolded from the bottom of his heart, he really didn't save himself trouble. He asked, "Didn't Lord Yushi Zeng just patrol the warehouse last year?" Why is it here again? ”

Fang Jin nodded and said: "Yes, the imperial court has a system, and the patrol is a three-year inventory according to the imperial history. But how do you know that this year, the household department is not too little, and sent to the local patrol warehouse in the middle of the matter, two Beijing and thirteen provinces, and the household department will draw Henan and Shandong provinces. Hmph, when the green and yellow are not connected, I come to patrol the warehouse, and I really play the piano randomly. ”

Fang Jin is divided into guards.

What is the duty of guarding the road, assisting the political envoy to take charge of the Qiangu in the region, supervising the agricultural mulberry, assessing the officials, simplifying the army, and solidifying the seal.

To put it bluntly, the most important thing is to understand the local money valley, and then supervise the class, collect the local taxes, and fill the army.

In the Ming Dynasty, great importance was attached to the storage of official warehouses, and you must know how Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, won the world, relying on these nine words.

'Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become kings'.

Therefore, the division of the road is to assist the political secretary to collect the money and valley, and then fill it with military reality, as for the following assessment officials, the solid sealing of the frontier is secondary.

Fang Jin, as the main guard, is mainly responsible for collecting the taxes from Kaifeng and the two prefectures, and then entering the warehouse.

This guard warehouse is the official warehouse directly under the jurisdiction of the political secretary.

In Daliang Road, Kaifeng has a military storage warehouse, Yuzhou has a Guangji warehouse, and Chenzhou has a permanent warehouse.

There is a Guangying warehouse in Guide Prefecture, and in Suizhou, where the Yamen of Daliang Road is stationed, there is a Guangfeng warehouse.

These five warehouses have warehouse ambassadors, which are under the management of the political secretary, and the money and grain collected from the prefectures and counties are stored in these five warehouses.

The army's rations, officials' salaries, and so on were all spent from here.

Okay now, you Fang Jin told me that there was a deficit in the warehouse, and this crime was enough for Fang Jin to kill his head. Lin Yanchao wanted to turn around and leave immediately, as if he had never known you before.

Of course, having said that, Lin Yanchao thought about it, but found that he couldn't just leave with his sleeves flicked like this.

These two official robes are insignificant, but what kind of person is Fang Jin, like Lin Yanchao, they are all members of Shen Shixing's party, everyone is their own person, although you are a pig teammate, but if Lin Yanchao dies and does not save him, the big guy will be angry.

Lin Yanchao said: "At present, the Jialu River has not been opened, and the whole Henan is in a grain shortage, where can I find grain for you at this time." ”

Fang Jin smiled and said, "It's okay, it's just 20,000 stones, and for the virtuous brother, you are just a gesture." ”

Lin Yanchao's expression eased when he heard this, fortunately, he didn't help himself.

He has just taken over the prefect now, and he has grasped all the big and small things, and there is no need to discuss them as before.

Moreover, the same acquaintance of the superintendent is not there, so Lin Yanchao can close the position from the warehouse and allocate 20,000 stones to Fang Jin in the reserve warehouse.

But Lin Yanchao thought again, no, although 20,000 stones is a lot, it should not be difficult to borrow 20,000 stones from Kaifeng grain merchants for the face of Fang Jin's domain officials, it is better than opening his mouth.

Lin Yanchao was suspicious in his heart, but he smiled on his face and said, "Then, can it be delayed until the summer grain is harvested?" ”

Fang Jin said: "Kechen will be here next month." ”

"If there is only a shortage of 20,000 stones, then it may not be impossible to talk to Kechen. Who is this Kochen? When I was working in the Cabinet, I also knew many colleagues in the six sections. ”

Fang Jin smiled and said, "I don't dare to bother Zong Hai." ”

Seeing this, Lin Yanchao had a few words in his heart: "Fang Dashen, Kaifeng is the largest government in this province for money and grain, just saying that Kaifeng's military storage and grain storage, all the official warehouses we belong to Defu are added together, and they are less than two percent of it." ”

"Why didn't Fang Dashen borrow grain from Kaifeng, but borrowed grain from my small mansion of Guide."

Fang Jin asked silently: "This ......"

Lin Yanchao shook his head and asked directly, "Fang Dashen, if you don't tell the truth, please forgive me...... Okay, how bad is it now, is there fifty out of ten? ”

Fang Jin said: "No." ”

"Sancheng?"

Fang Jin shook his head again.

Lin Yanchao couldn't wait to smash the tea bowl on Fang Jin's head, and asked, "You can't even have it!" ”

Fang Jin said angrily: "How is this possible! ”

"One percent and fifty percent, what's the difference?"

Lin Yanchao was also angry, this Fang Jin was really lying to himself.

As soon as Fang Jin came up, he didn't say that he pulled down such a big deficit, but said that I was just one hundred or twenty thousand stones away from passing the level, you just need to help me.

This is the same as people borrowing money to buy a house, with a down payment of hundreds of thousands, saying that they owe hundreds of thousands of down payments to buy a house, and borrowing one or two hundred thousand from you, no one will borrow it.

If I owe one or two thousand, and then borrow them one by one, most people will consider one or two if they can make friends.

So if there is a shortage of 20,000 stones, Lin Yanchao may grit his teeth and give him a cushion, but it is so much less at once.

Lin Yanchao lent him grain, just like a poor man lending money to a billionaire who was about to go bankrupt.

Fang Jin is finished, and the 20,000 stones that Lin Yanchao lent out will not come back, and he will have to suffer with it.

This Fang Jin is really not kind, in order to survive for himself, he has to pull himself into the water.

Lin Yanchao was very angry, and he didn't care if he was polite or not, your side was finished, you were going to die yourself, what did you do to harm me.

"Zong Hai, you can't see death without saving! I can't help it now," Fang Jin put down the shelf and said, "You are the prefect now, from the reserve warehouse under the prefecture and county, allocate tens of thousands of stones from the Changping warehouse to save the life of the foolish brother, if you pass this level, the foolish brother is grateful for your great kindness!" ”

Lin Yanchao gritted his teeth and said: "The reserve warehouse, the regular closing position is used by the imperial court to relieve the famine. The imperial court has a clear order, the government reserves 10,000 stones, the state reserves 5,000 stones, and the county reserves 3,000 stones. ”

"If I lend you grain from the prefecture, in case of a famine and there is no grain in the storehouse, I will not become a sinner for the people of my house. Even if there is no famine this year, but this matter is known, or the province sends officials down to check the warehouse, then I have to compensate you for the black yarn hat. ”

"Even if you take 10,000 steps back and say that none of these things have happened, there is not much grain in the reserve warehouse in the prefecture and county, and it will be a drop in the bucket if you pull down such a big deficit and lend it to you."

Lin Yanchao finished speaking, but seeing that Fang Jin's face was blue and white for a while, he seemed to be very angry, and he was on the verge of breaking out.

Lin Yanchao became vigilant, when people are desperate, anything will happen.

But seeing Fang Jin so loud, he smiled bitterly, leaned back on the chair, and said dejectedly: "Ten years of fame, what am I asking for?" What kind of official are you? Knowing this, it is better to listen to Master Hanshan's words, practice meditation at home, and do this mundane thing? ”

"My career seems to be over in this political office."

Fang Jin said that Master Hanshan was a famous monk, Wang Shizhen, and even the Empress Dowager Li respected him very much, and he was very famous among scholars.

Lin Yanchao was a little unbearable when he saw Fang Jin like this. After all, the two have some affection, but Lin Yanchao can't compensate himself for this affection.

However, Lin Yanchao thought of a way to save Fang Jin, but he had just cheated himself, should he say it?

Now seeing Fang Jin like this, Lin Yanchao finally said, "Can you delay it for two months?" ”

"Two months?"

"Yes, as soon as the Jialu River is dredged, the grain ships from Susong and Huguang can arrive in Kaifeng, and the price of grain will inevitably plummet."

Fang Jin said: "It is difficult to dredge the Jialu River in two months. Kechen will be in Henan next month, accompanied by the lieutenant, and it will be even more difficult for them to let me go. ”

Fang Jin said dejectedly: "Zong Hai, I know that you are also a dead horse and a live horse doctor." Yes, I have a lot of silver in my hand now, but the price of food is so high, how can I buy it? ”

Lin Yanchao said: "It's not that it can't, unless someone is willing to sell you the grain at the price of grain in a few months." ”

Fang Jin was stunned and said: "Yes, but I have asked, which local grain merchant is willing to suffer such a big loss." ”

Lin Yanchao was speechless when he heard this.

Fang Jin was surprised: "Zong Hai, can there be such a grain merchant who introduced me?" ”

Lin Yanchao said after half a sound: "Thinking about it, there is indeed one." But ......"

Fang Jin immediately perked up and said: "The conditions are fine, no matter how harsh they are, I will also agree." As long as it can help me get through this. ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Is this true? ”

Fang Jin said: "Seriously, seriously!" ”

Lin Yanchao said: "That's good, Fang Dashen." Do you know that when I repaired the embankment last year, I asked who borrowed the money? ”

"Folk bank?"

Lin Yanchao said: "Yes, that money village is a farmer's money village, and the two big shopkeepers of the farmer's money village have you just seen it." ”

Fang Jin couldn't help but keep his body up, and said with a vigilant face: "You said the two of them, I know that they came to Suizhou to visit me a few times last year, but I don't know the details, so I haven't seen them." ”

"Could it be that this farmer's bank?"

Lin Yanchao said: "These two big shopkeepers are my good friends. I trust them very much, and I guess Fang Dashen can too. ”

"That Zonghai, can you move them to help me?"

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "Exactly, now that I think about it, in this Henan territory, only the farmer Qian Zhuang is willing to help you." But there are conditions. ”

"On what terms?"

"Keep all the treasury silver in the treasury of your subordinate treasury."

Fang Jin said abruptly: "This can't be done, how can the Qiangu warehouse of the imperial court be handled by a merchant on behalf of a businessman?" ”

"If something goes wrong, who's responsible? And this is against the laws of the imperial court. ”

In addition, officials are also prohibited by the imperial court from investing in shares and lending. If you are under my rule, I will not speak out, and it will be difficult to protect others. ”

Lin Yanchao looked at Fang Jin with a very surprised look and said, "Fang Dashen, isn't it a violation of the imperial court to sell the stored grain in the warehouse of the guard house at a high price and buy it low?" ”

Fang Jin listened and hurriedly explained: "Nonsense, I'm here to stabilize the price of private grain for the imperial court, so ...... So spare no expense. ”

I've never seen such a brazen person!

Lin Yanchao wanted to scold this sentence decisively, but he still held back.

So Lin Yanchao pulled his legs and ......

"Brother Xian, help my brother ...... this time"

Lin Yanchao sat down again and said: "Sell at a high price, buy at a low price, this method of losing is also implemented in Guide Mansion last year, and it is the farmer's money village for the government." The effect is very good, it is not handled by the government, the officials do not embezzle a penny from it, and the common people benefit from it, and the money village also earns a lot of money. ”

Fang Jin pinched his beard and said: "This staff also knows that this is a good law, but this matter is not through the government, and it is a fake hand, once it is a long time, the court will definitely know about it, and then it will be investigated, and the black yarn will not be guaranteed." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded and said, "That's right, but if the court doesn't pursue it, will you do it?" ”

"If you don't pursue it, how is this possible?"

Lin Yanchao said with a smile: "Last year, I lent 50,000 taels of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China to the poor people in the government as seedling money through the agricultural and commercial bank, and this method has achieved remarkable results. ”

"Later, when the Inspector heard about this, Lord Zeng, came to hold me responsible. He wanted to bring me down and then use this to defeat his teacher, but he didn't know that I had already passed through Qiu Lu and reported the matter to the Son of Heaven. ”

"The Son of Heaven decreed that this is a good law, so you might as well try it first. So what I said, do you understand? ”

Fang Jin thought for a while, and then said: "What you mean is to let this staff lend all the treasury silver to the farmer's bank, and withdraw it from the bank when you want to use the money, and you can still collect a sum of interest at the end of the year." ”

"Not only that, but it can also solve Fang Dashen's urgent need!"

Lin Yanchao's words were serious and authentic.

There is never a reason to help people in vain, I will give you Fang Dashen to tide over the difficulties, and you always have to repay me.

Everyone has their own benefits, and win-win cooperation is the king.

Lin Yanchao saw that Fang Jin was hesitant and hesitated, and immediately said: "Chen Xinggui and Zhang Haoyuan of the Agribusiness Money Village are just outside the door, they are the only people who can help Da Shen now. As long as Uncle Shi says a word, I will call them in, and they will solve the crisis so much. ”

Fang Jin thought about it and hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, let's see you first, as for whether to agree or not." ”

Lin Yanchao couldn't help but smile when he saw Fang Jin say this, he knew that things had become seventy.

At that moment, Lin Yanchao invited Chen Xinggui and Zhang Hao to talk to Fang Jin.

With Lin Yanchao's instruction, Chen Xinggui also slapped the board and was willing to give 100,000 stone grain to help Fang Jin tide over this difficulty.

It's more, and Chen Xinggui also took it out.

Of course, in order to tide over the difficulties, Chen Xinggui also made no less requests, in order to be able to move the business from the barren Guide Mansion to the prosperous Kaifeng Mansion, he must work hard, of course, Fang Jin will inevitably have to slaughter a knife.

Seeing this, Fang Jin finally made up his mind and asked the two to meet again tomorrow in the Suizhou Official Hall.

Capital.

In the Wenhua Palace, the Son of Heaven is holding a red pen to review the chapters.

At this time, he picked up a piece of music and said to Chen Ju on the side: "Recently, there are some ministers who always advise me to say something, to give favors to the people, to give light to the people, and not to compete with the people for profit. ”

"But have these ministers thought about it, I am light and poor, and there is no money, what should the river workers do? What to do with Caoyun? What about side affairs? Chen Ju, you say. ”

Chen Ju said: "The ministers think that it is indeed the act of benevolence and benevolence, and ordinary people are happy when they gain and are angry when they lose." As the ruler of the people, the Son of Heaven attaches great importance to the community, so how can he discuss the gains and losses with the people. ”

The Son of Heaven Long Yan was delighted, and praised: "This is exactly the truth. Some ministers keep to themselves with righteousness and reason, and they only know how to meditate and practice meditation all day long, and they do not understand the study of the scriptures and the world, and these people are really too lazy to deal with them. ”

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven picked up a piece of music and said: "This time, Lin Yanchao said that he would let Guide rule in three years, and he was very angry. I took his recital and discussed it with the ministers, who laughed when they heard it, but they didn't dare to speak because of my face. But I promoted him to a prefect, do they all think that I like to listen to big words, and use people who talk big words. ”

Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven smiled: "Chen Ju, you praised Lin Yanchao for having the talent of Guan Zhong in front of me, what do you think?" Can he do it? ”

Chen Ju said: "It's difficult for the ministers to see it, three years have passed a year and a half, and there is still a year and a half left. But if he boasts about Haikou, then at that time, His Majesty will punish him for the crime of defrauding the king. ”

The Son of Heaven said: "There is no need to deceive the king, after the real cure, everyone will do something for me." When Lin Yanchao can't do it, I will paste the music on his face. Chen Ju, you have to put this piece away for me. ”

After speaking, the Son of Heaven patted the music and laughed.
