Chapter 17: Simple Things

"Jiangdong 'pirates' are making a big fuss?"

When he received the urgent report from Hangzhou, Li Tai, the king of Wei, was still a little strange, "Is there really such a strong 'pirate' in this world?" ”

"Your Highness, it doesn't matter if you're a thief or not."

The subordinate official of the Prince's Mansion reminded him in a low voice, "What matters now is how to appease the Jiangdong clan. It must be known that the Jiangdong clan is very friendly to China, and there has never been a shortage of 'filial piety' in the past 12 years. In the old year, I went to Chang'an somewhere, and many of them were commensurate with the 'old acquaintance of the king of Yue'......"

Shaking the fat, Li Tai suddenly remembered: "Yes, this king almost forgot." ”

He was so scared of receiving Feng Zhidai's money that he forgot that he still had a wallet that was not too small. It's just that after the capital was moved, most of this wallet belonged to the emperor's father, and there were fewer of them in their own pockets.

"That'...... This king is to contact Liaodong and leave it to His Majesty to decide? ”

"Your Highness can first consult with the scholars of Hongwen Pavilion, and then the scholars will propose to contact Liaodong. Then His Royal Highness summoned the famous people of Jiangdong and reassured him. ”

When Li Tai heard this, he immediately felt that this was really reasonable. Although they are all the same thing, it is really beneficial and not costly to sell the face of Hongwenge and Jiangdong with a gesture.

"Reasonable, this king will go to Hongwen Pavilion in person."

Summoning the scholar of Hongwen Pavilion to come over, and going to meet with the prince himself are two different things. What does it mean to give face? This is to give face.

At this time, in Hongwen Pavilion, Kong Yingda was discussing the "pirates" in Jiangdong with his colleagues. Many people are looking at the lively mentality, but Kong Yingda still reminded them: "Since the relocation of the capital, in addition to the old Luoyang clan, now the capital is 'filial piety' in the cold and summer, and there are more Huaiyang, Suzhou, Hangzhou and Guangzhou." It is necessary to know that when the three provinces are decadent, the 'filial piety' here is handed over to the cabinet and the inner government. If you sit back and watch the corruption of Jiangdong's maritime affairs, when the time comes, there will be little ice in the heat and in the cold and lack of charcoal, so don't complain about the thin public funds of the imperial court. ”

"The public statement is reasonable, but we are not the commanders of the military department and the police guard, so what can we do?"

"It is natural for the people to ask for numerology, and the local suffering, since we are Chinese ministers, we should be sympathetic to ......"

Kong Yingda was halfway through speaking, picked up the teacup, and took a small sip. The bachelors and Hongwen Pavilion interns were stunned for a moment, and then they thought about it carefully, and felt that what Old Man Kong said was very right.

In the final analysis, the scholars of the Hongwen Pavilion are unable to directly exert their power over the local government, and their own official positions cannot directly interfere with the local "law and order". However, because of the special nature of the Hongbunkaku scholars, they also have an influence on the direction of governance.

If the local government relies on a certain Hongbunkaku scholar, then the personal inclination of this scholar will cause the originally ambiguous policies of the state and county to become clear immediately, and it is the usual practice to "flatter and flatter" in the first place.

Moreover, "pirates" can be big or small. Just as the "horse thieves" in the north can be big or small, at the big point, it is the "foreign barbarians" attacking the border passes, and at the bottom of the line, it means that the local law and order are a little disordered.

As for whether this "foreign barbarian" is really a barbarian, it doesn't matter, most of the time this organized troublemaker is the Han family's strong and strong, and Bao Buqi is a "big dog" in the border area who does import and export trade.

So whether to strike or not, if it is a blow, how to fight depends on the needs of the peak. For example, if Wen Yanbo is alive, then the "horse thief" in the north will be smaller, why? Because it is very likely that the "horse thief" is Wen Yanbo's relative, so can he be rectified to death? As long as the border soldiers are not regular soldiers, they are looking for jobs. As for the soap officials in the county, they are not so bold.

Brave and loyal, iron-faced and selfless, no background to play a fart.

Kong Yingda's meaning is actually clear after figuring out one or two, no matter what the "pirates" are, they will first yell at the court, express sympathy for the local government first, and get up in public opinion first. It's not for nothing that public opinion forces the policy, yes, the Hongwen Pavilion bachelor has no real power for the time being, so what? The emperor kind of opened them all.

Since it is impossible for the Emperor to expel them all, this matter must be dealt with separately.

In the context of the emperor's intention to suppress Wuxun and the family, the "partners" who govern the country with the emperor will inevitably be supported again. After the emperor's will gradually became clear, most of Kong Yingda and others understood the emperor's needs. There are two objects of support, each of which is civil and military.

The imperial examination jinshi is Wen, and the low-ranking officer is Wu.

At the moment when everyone is nodding their heads, how to get benefits from this situation depends on the ability to calculate. It is nothing more than that the two groups of Jinshi and low-level officers in the imperial examination want more people from their own and fewer people from other families, so that even if the interests of the old era are cut off, they can still be made up for in the new era.

Kong Yingda said, "Ask for your life for the people", and the bachelor of Hongwen Pavilion is not running to kill thieves, but just talking about cannons, and he is very influential. If you really want to start killing thieves, you can't forget the initiative of the initiative. is like An Bo's Laozi Ansiri, who is obviously a waste of firewood, but among the countries in the Western Regions back then, he was the first to jump out to oppose the Turks, so no matter how weak Ansili was, the Tang Dynasty wanted to express his position.

As for whether or not a few people can enter certain areas where thieves are killed in the follow-up specific administration, it depends on whether one's own ability is not enough. Only in troubled waters can fish fish, Kong Yingda does not want to stuff his children into the place and mix them with an official position.

The emperor bestowed favors on low-ranking officers, which made all the glory and interests of low-ranking officers tied to the emperor. As long as the emperor is still strong, he will not get away with it, and if one day he is tied up and blackmailed by the low-ranking officer group, it can only mean that the empire has swelled to the point where it has to carry out radical changes.

Who can mess around in Hongwen Pavilion and make a name for himself in foreign courts, who is not a human spirit?

Kong Yingda just started up, and everyone had already figured out how to write advice to the emperor. It not only showed loyalty to the emperor, but also showed kindness to the Jiangdong family, which can be called killing two birds with one stone.

As for whether to take the opportunity to mix some mulberry fields, looms, wharves, and warehouses in Jiangdong at this opportunity, it depends on the size of the appetite.

It's just that a group of bachelors haven't had time to be beautiful when they see Li Tai, the king of Wei, coming. After coming, he brought out the incident of "pirates" in Jiangdong.

As soon as King Wei opened his mouth like this, Kong Yingda and the others' faces turned green.

After Li Tai left, someone scolded angrily: "What a shame, even this credit is grabbed!" ”

"Bh. King Wei is a sincere person, it won't be like this. I think it's the Prince's staff who offer advice, so I can't help it. However, there are also advantages to the operation here, if things change, Liaodong's inquiries will also be dealt with by the King of Wei, and it will not have much to do with us. ”

"How has this changed? Just a 'pirate', can you turn the sky upside down? ”

"'Pirates'?"

Kong Yingda couldn't help sneering at his age, "Where have you seen a 'pirate' who can block the entire Zhejiang Estuary?" ”

“……”

There are some details that may not be grasped, but who is Kong Saijiu? It's not like I haven't dealt with a certain earth dog. When white sugar was sold, he got the monopoly rights of more than a dozen states and counties, and he made a lot of money, which was better than enclosing 10,000 acres of land, and I don't know how much.

It's just that the price of sugar was seriously lowered later, and the price of sugar after the suppression was no longer too big, and the profits were all on overseas exports. The transformation of the entire family of Confucius Liquor is also changing, and the tail line of a certain earth dog is the main vane of the change of the family business.

Seeing Lao Kong say this, someone woke up, here, I'm afraid it's really a bit deep.
