For eunuchs, favor has always been a matter of life.

Therefore, money and gifts are just a sign of courtesy. Let Sien say that he attaches importance to Wang Chengen. But does Wang Chengen want to do what Si En wants, or do Zhu Cihong behind Si En wish...... But it made Wang Chengen think hard.

"The sub-supervision of the tax department of the Guozi Supervision Department is a trivial matter......

"Changing the tax rate is good governance. There is a slight criticism, but Fu Shuxun's appointment in the household department is a matter of pride, and it is not hindered to pass. ”

"Changing the pre-levy is a practice, not good or bad. But with the matter of ship materials and bamboo and wood...... This is to make criticism swarm in......"

"The elders are happy to see Qin Xia...... Oh, that's what the prince looks like in Linqing. but it means to set a man on the fire and roast it...... It seems that the chaos in the Central Plains has indeed left the elders with no energy to deal with the prince in person. ”

"Huh...... Zhou Xiang was able to pay attention to the affairs of Linqing in his busy schedule. It seems that a prosperous city like Linqing is not so easy to deal with. What does Zhou Xiang mean...... Do you want to move or not? ”

When Zhu Cihong wrote to the Guozi Supervision and Taxation Department to be sub-supervised, Fu Shuxun also wrote early in the morning to change the tax rate, cancel the pre-levy, and change the rules for the division of ship materials and bamboo and wood.

These pieces were sent to the cabinet through the General Administration Department, and after the cabinet vote was drafted, it was naturally the turn of the emperor to approve it, or the celebrant to approve it.

When such a set of procedures is completed, the procedure can be considered legal.

But after these two pieces arrived in the hands of Wang Chengen, who was on duty, they were detained. This is not a dilemma, and even in order, Wang Chengen put forward two pieces from a large number of concerts, but they were given priority. In addition, there is also Wang Chengen's protective heart.

And Si En's gift-giving ventilation is obviously to hope that Wang Chengen will say good things in front of the emperor for the crown prince.

So...... Here's the problem.

Of course, it's not whether the silver should be taken or not.

Rather, do you want to contribute to Zhu Cihong.

According to the allusions of the past dynasties known to Wang Chengen, he has never seen a prince who can ascend the throne like Zhu Cihong.

Going out of the palace to the household department can be said to be a child who is ignorant, but he took a million taels of silver from the house, and went to Linqing to collect taxes and make any reforms, so it can be said that he must have thought it through. But one by one, not to mention whether it will make the emperor suspicious, even the famous ministers of the past dynasties did not have this way.

In any case, such a majestic figure would never be happy to be seen by the imperial court.

Under normal circumstances, such a person would not be able to jump for a few days, and he would not be far from destruction.

But Zhu Cihong is obviously not a normal person.

And this time, it is not a normal time.

This is the Ming Dynasty with internal and external troubles, natural disasters and man-made disasters, and it is the Ming Dynasty with countless defeats, which is more and more fierce and difficult year by year.

Such a Ming Dynasty, ordinary Jiangnan scholars may still think that they are safe and happy. But for Wang Chengen, who has been exposed to countless music and twists and turns, and knows the general trend of the world and is particularly sensitive, it can already be said that he is cooking oil on fire, and he is in danger of overturning every day.

Such a Ming Dynasty has such a prince......

"Perhaps...... Leave a good karma, it won't be worse. Well, simply...... As Si En said, what bamboo and wood draw the bureau, just one step in place! Wang Chengen thought so, pinched the two recitals, and walked into the Qianqing Palace, which was approving the recitals all night.

"Hooray...... The slave and maid congratulated His Majesty, and when she saw that the prince was about to make meritorious service to Your Majesty again...... With this excerpt, Long Live Lord can be more enjoyable on top of the state......"

Linqing City.

A fleet came to a distant halt when it entered the city again.

Lying in the quiet room of the cabin was a man with an extraordinary bearing and a somewhat merry man.

Seeing that the boat had stopped, the man pushed open the window in wonder, and when he saw that the bank of the Yangliu Canal, which was still outside Linqing City, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, and shouted: "Where is Uncle Qisheng?" Why did the ship stop when it reached the outside of the city? ”

Not long after the man's voice sounded, the footsteps outside suddenly became tight.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a rich and amiable attitude and a slightly chubby figure entered the cabin, saluted the young man in the cabin, and said with a little worry: "Young master, the river in front is blocked. The old slave had already sent his tree to ask. ”

"Hmm." The young man answered, and said in a deep voice: "If the matter is tricky, directly show the name of the Dehou family, and you can always buy some face in this Linqing realm." This time to the north, be sure not to delay a little. ”

It turned out that this young man was the Hou family of Guide, and the father and son were both the sons of the former Hubu Shangshu Hou Sui of the Donglin Party, Hou Fangyu.

The rich middle-aged man who was called Qisheng by Hou Fangyu was the housekeeper of the Hou family, and Hou Qisheng accompanied Hou Fangyu to the north this time.

Hearing Hou Fangyu say this, Hou Qisheng said in a low voice: "The old slave understands. ”

Hou Fangyu nodded slowly, also with some hesitation.

After Hou Sui was imprisoned in Chongzhen's ninth year, Hou Fangyu also went south and north to the Grand Canal many times, and he was also familiar with this Linqing boundary, but it was the first time he had seen and heard of the entire Grand Canal blocked and could not move.

If it was an ordinary time, Hou Fangyu would have waited a little longer, and it would be a big deal to play and have fun in Linqing. For Hou Fangyu, a self-proclaimed merry man, this is not a delay.

But now, Zhou Yanru of the Jingshi has moved His Majesty for Hou Sui, and it is precisely when Hou Fangyu is needed to be active in the Jingshi, and Hou Fangyu feels extremely tormented if he delays a little time. If Hou Sui is finally delayed from prison and re-appointed, it will make people want to kill people with hatred.

That Hou Qisheng also knew that Hou Fangyu was worried, so he immediately sent his right-hand man over to inquire.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Hou Qisheng to see Hou Qishu bring two men who were fat and thin, well-dressed and wearing straight long clothes on the boat.

Hou Qisheng's eyes were poisonous, and when he saw that the clothes of these two people were all Husi Su embroidery, he thought that they were both powerful shipowners and businessmen.

Seeing this, Hou Qisheng also stepped forward with a smile and greeted politely: "The distinguished guest came to the door, and he missed the welcome, and he looked at Haihan." ”

"It's an honor for me to be welcomed by the Dehou family." The two shipowners also saluted.

After some politeness, Hou Qisheng also cut to the chase and learned that these two people were also the owners of the boat trapped on the canal. After learning from Hou Qishu's mouth that it was someone from the Hou family who returned to Dede, he immediately got on the boat, first, to solve the current problem, and secondly, of course, there was also a bit of friendship.

Both of them are from Xiuning, Huizhou, a little fatter, often with a little smile of the famous Luo Da, the ship is carrying the famous Hui ink. Another thinner masterpiece, Zhang Xiaonan, sells scissors and other groceries, but he is also quite famous in the industry.
