Chapter 1026: Pie in the Sky
Zhang Zhijie quickly left Beijing and took his men straight to Tianjin, and after arriving in Tianjin, Zhang Zhijie took the selected officials and cronies, boarded the fleet that had been waiting in Tianjin, and sailed south, while Tiqi took the dry road to the south to Fujian.
The fleet sailed out of Tianjin, Zhang Zhijie looked at the direction of the capital and breathed a sigh of relief, Bai Yulan was a little puzzled: "My lord is in such a hurry when he goes out of Beijing?" "Although Magnolia knew that Lord Admiral would definitely go south to personally preside over the opening of the sea, he didn't expect it to be so soon.
Zhang Zhijie laughed when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Of course, it's to avoid trouble!" It is estimated that Yang Tinghe and Liang Chu are jumping and scolding at this time! ”
Magnolia couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this, she could make the two scholars jump to their feet and scold, what kind of angry thing did Lord Admiral do? The Admiral couldn't have secretly taken the emperor south, right?
No, it certainly won't! They were all on the ship now, and if the emperor really followed, he would have appeared by this time.
Magnolia wondered, "My lord, what the hell is going on?" ”
Zhang Zhijie said with a smile: "This governor estimated that the emperor had the idea of changing the queen, so he set off south first!" ”
Easy Queen?! Magnolia was surprised when she heard this, and after being surprised, she seemed to take it for granted, Emperor Zhengde and the Empress had no feelings, and Liu Niangniang had a deep relationship, and now Liu Niangniang gave birth to the emperor's eldest son, and it seems not strange that the emperor gave birth to the thoughts of the queen of Yi.
However, no matter what, the queen will cause an uproar, after all, although the queen is burdened by her mother's family, she is not at fault!
Therefore, Yang Ting and them must be entangled, if they agree with the emperor's change, then their official reputation will definitely be affected, even if it is a ruthless record in the history books!
If they don't agree with the emperor's change of queen, then the capital will have to have another toss! If the Admiral is in Beijing, whether Zhang Zhijie agrees with the emperor's change of queen or disagrees with the emperor's change, Zhang Zhijie is in front.
But now that Lord Admiral has taken the opportunity to sneak away in advance, it must be that the two scholars have been roasted on the fire!
Magnolia suddenly realized, no wonder the Admiral left the capital in a hurry, it turned out that this was the case!
Don't care about how chaotic the capital is, and don't think about whether Emperor Zhengde can go smoothly, Zhang Zhijie happily sailed south with the sea breeze, with the warm fragrance of purple-clothed nephrite on the side, and he was very free on the way.
Zhang Zhijie's destination is Quanzhou, and he will preside over the opening of the sea in Quanzhou! Why Quanzhou? Not only because he is familiar with Quanzhou, but also because Quanzhou originally had a city division!
Although Daming is forbidden to the sea, it has set up three city ship divisions, namely Guangzhou City Ship Division, Quanzhou City Ship Division and Ningbo City Ship Division! However, Daming set up the city and shipping department not to open the sea for trade, but for other reasons!
Guangzhou City Bosi is specially designed for the tributary of Champong, Siam, Manraka and Chenla, Ningbo Bosi is specially set up for Japanese tribute, and Quanzhou Bosi is specially set up for Ryukyu tribute.
The imperial court set up the city bureau just to facilitate the tribute of the vassal state, just like the Quanzhou city bureau was set up to receive the Ryukyu tribute, but the problem is that people don't come all the time, maybe only once in three or five years, or even once in ten or eight years!
And even if people come to pay tribute, the city department has no authority at all. Therefore, Quanzhou City Bosi is the most leisurely, boring, and powerless yamen in the whole of Fujian! Even on weekdays, even Quanzhou people may not remember that there is a city in Quanzhou! It's so non-existent!
But overnight, the Quanzhou City Bo Division has turned over, and suddenly became the most dazzling yamen, because the imperial court wants to open the sea in Quanzhou, there is no doubt that the Quanzhou City Bo Division will become the yamen responsible for opening the sea!
Therefore, Quanzhou City, Bo Si Ti, an obscure five-grade petty official, suddenly became hot! Even the officials of Quanzhou City have become hot one by one. There are two or three big cats and kittens in Quanzhou City, which are the most despised in the officialdom, but they turned over all of a sudden.
At this time, Quanzhou has been full of people, full of bustling pedestrians, this city that was not very famous in the south, suddenly into people's eyes! Everyone knows that Quanzhou will soon become a famous city in the world, a rich city in the world, and even comparable to Yangzhou.
Because the imperial court wants to open the sea in Quanzhou, there are countless wealthy giants gathered here, and the city is already overcrowded, and the inn is even fuller, and it is impossible to live in it for a long time! Many people in Quanzhou had an idea to rent out their rooms, and they were able to make a small profit.
These businessmen gathered in Quanzhou just to wait for the arrival of a person, looking forward to the arrival of Zhang Zhijie. They believed that this Admiral would definitely come to Quanzhou, after all, compared to Ningbo, the Admiral was more familiar with Quanzhou!
The mighty fleet appeared on the sea, approaching the port of Quanzhou, and such a big movement attracted people's attention at once! This is the fleet of the Admiral, which left Quanzhou and headed north.
Now that this fleet is back, there's a good chance that the Admiral is on board! The news spread quickly, and the whole Quanzhou was boiling! Because Zhang Zhijie has left a deep imprint on the city.
Destroying the Xia family, exterminating the bandits, forming a fleet, and going to sea to appease the bandits, Zhang Zhijie left too many legends in this place! Now it's even more amazing, the Admiral is going to open the sea in Quanzhou!
Everyone knows what this means, which means that wealth is rolling in, and there is no doubt that Quanzhou will be the biggest beneficiary, and everyone in Quanzhou can profit from it!
Everyone in Quanzhou will be a beneficiary of the opening of the sea, and they can live a good life, and all this is because of the Admiral, the imperial court will open the sea in Quanzhou!
The Admiral may have come to Quanzhou with the fleet, and this news made everyone excited, but the most excited was the promotion of Dong Chang by the Bo Si of Quanzhou City.
Dong Chang was originally just the most unknown official in Fujian, and he was even inferior to a seven-grade county lord as a fifth-grade official, can you imagine how depressed and unambitious he was! What's more, Dong Chang has been promoted by the city for seven years.
You want to ask what Dong Changdu has done in the past seven years? Dong Chang will definitely vomit blood and tell you, I didn't do anything! Because you can't do anything if you want to!
So when Dong Chang first heard that the imperial court was going to open the sea in Quanzhou, it felt like pie falling from the sky! For several days in a row, he felt dizzy for a while, because the pie was too big, and he was dizzy!
