Qiu Xiaoyuan's resume is very innocent.

It's just that to Tianyou and Zuo Cheng's surprise, although he was born in a poor family, he didn't study for free, but the Guo family spent money to enter the Lotus Academy.

Cangzhou, whether it is from the capital or from Qingyuan, there is a distance.

The ancestors of the Qiu family have been three generations, and no one is a Beijing official, so there will be no intersection with the Cao family.

Tianyou and Zuo Cheng breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and the only thing they were worried about was Changsheng. Is there something inappropriate about the intersection between Changsheng and the little fat man of the Guo family, which caused the dissatisfaction of the cousins of the people, so he angered everyone.

Tianyou and Zuo Cheng found a reason and went to the Immortal Academy several times, that Guo Fat Man was happy, not a scheming person. Changsheng also had a peaceful relationship with him, and the two were still very deed.

knocked on the side, and knew that Qiu Xiaoyuan was a person who only knew books, even if his cousin was friendly with the governor's younger brother, he treated it coldly and did not cling to it.

It is not uncommon for scholars in the Lotus Academy to have identities and surnames that are lonely and high.

Tianyou and Zuo Chengcheng put this matter aside and no longer took it to heart.

is immortal, although he is young, he was raised by his family when he was young, but he is the surname of Neixiu.

After noticing Qiu Xiaoyuan's unkindness to his nephews, he kept an eye on it and often teased Guo Yuan about his cousin. It sounds like he's just a taciturn nerd who doesn't get very close to anyone.

Guo Yuan's surname is Ge Hanshi, and seeing that several senior brothers of the Cao family are dealing with him with him with a gentle attitude, and they are not arrogant, he is embarrassed to hate them for talking about his cousin behind their backs, but he blames himself a little bit for whether he has a small belly and chicken intestines...... * When Tang Zhiyu returned to Qingyuan, it was already mid-May.

After he left Jinghai, he inspected Cangzhou again and then returned to Qingyuan.

When he came to the governor's palace to ask for an appointment, he did not mention the impeachment of Guo Yiyu again.

I haven't seen it for half a month, Tang Zhiyu has darkened a lot, his eyes are shining, but he is clean and full of appearance.

"Two glass workshops in Cangzhou have already been built and started, just near the canal wharf. The supporting fruit and vegetable processing workshop is also almost built, and the construction will start before the end of the month. Tang Zhiyu was very excited when he mentioned Cangzhou.

In this era, transportation is very inconvenient.

Cao Hao put the focus of economic development of Zhili, not in Qingyuan, where the governor's yamen is located, but in Cangzhou, where the waterway transportation is the most convenient.

"There are officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs who intervene in these places, and it is good that there is no local trouble. Otherwise, it would have been a matter of benefiting the people, but it would have harmed the people. Cao Hao said.

"Although the leader is a person from the Internal Affairs Office, the two deputies, one is a subordinate official of the Governor's Mansion, and the other is a Cangzhou official in the past, and the three parties are contained, and the rules are all set, so it is not easy to cause trouble." Tang Zhiyu said.

Cao Hao nodded and said: "That's good, although the Internal Affairs Office has taken forty percent of the profits, but with this signboard, no one dares to reach out again." ”

The remaining sixty percent is half into the provincial treasury and half into the state and county treasury.

The current glass workshop is only an initial plan, and Cao Hao's intention is to build Cangzhou into a food processing base. The fruits, fungi, game, and vegetables of Zhili are made into dry and fresh canned food, which is supplied to the capital in the north and goes to the two rivers in the south, which is also regarded as the open source of taxes for Zhili.

After finishing the business, Tang Zhiyu didn't wait for Cao Hao to ask, and took the initiative to mention the disposition of the Li family in Jinghai.

Different from Cao Hao's imagination, Tang Zhiyu was obviously merciful to his subordinates, and only confiscated a few shops that Li Pengju took care of, fined some silver, and did not use thunderous methods.

This is really different from Tang Zhiyu's usual behavior, Cao Hao felt strange, thought about it, and asked, "The boss of the Li family asked someone from the capital to say something?" ”

Tang Zhiyu nodded and said, "I asked the official to send a letter from the same year, saying that no matter what, please preserve the dignity of the Li family."

The uncle of the Li family, a thousand households, has been dismissed for "slackness and errands", and if this third child is really punished, it will have an impact on the careers of the other two sons of the Li family.

The eldest of the Li family is also from the imperial examination, and he will be put in the local area after a few years of training in the six departments, and his future is still good, so he is nervous about this matter.

Seeing Tang Zhiyu's frank answer with a hidden smile, Cao Hao asked, "How much is the confiscated silver?" ”

"The forfeiture of silver is two thousand taels...... In addition, the Li family also took the initiative to donate 30,000 taels of silver, as well as several shops that entered the government, and the officials sold 4,000 taels...... The lower official has sent someone to bring 34,000 taels of silver over, and asked the lord to have someone inspect it and enter the treasury of the domain......" Tang Zhiyu said, took out a bunch of copper keys from his sleeve, and sent them to Cao Hao.

Cao Hao couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this.

Isn't this so-called active "pledge" the prototype of the "guilty silver" promoted by the Qianlong Dynasty and Shen?

Looking at Tang Zhiyu with a square face, Cao Hao only felt that Shi Bei San should be impressed, but he really didn't expect him to deal with this matter like this.

Seeing Cao Hao's surprise, Tang Zhiyu explained: "It was not because the lower officials were in the way of saying Xiang in the same year that Li Pengju was released. In fact, Li Pengju is responsible for the crime, and the heavy sentence is nothing but futile flow. With the foundation of the two sons of the Li family, even if the two sons of the Li family are sentenced, it is not difficult to pay the ransom and avoid the flow, and it is better to enrich the treasury of the domain. If there is anything inappropriate, please teach me? ”

Cao Hao's face was full of admiration, and he said: "It's not that I think it's inappropriate, but I didn't expect Yigong to be so flexible." Although this is affordable, if you are not careful, you will have to bear the notoriety of 'blackmailing place'. Among them, the scale, the benefit should be carefully grasped, the relevant accounts and documents must be clear, and it is forbidden to check from above, so as to save the villain from making trouble and harming himself. ”

In officialdom, there is no shortage of attacks.

Tang Zhiyu's move was to bury a small disaster for himself. Maybe when it comes out, it's a fault.

When Tang Zhiyu heard this, he knew that Cao Hao cared about him, and he was very grateful, so he got up and said, "More adults should mention it, and the officials will act cautiously!" ”

Tang Zhiyu has been out of office for more than 20 years, and he knows it in his heart, and he knows that to this point, it is still because the burden of the Zhili Domain is too heavy, and every plan before Cao Hao has to burn silver.

Thinking of this, Cao Hao felt a little guilty, and said to Tang Zhiyu: "Is the money in the treasury tight?" I heard that the river workers had sent people to come and ask for money, and if you find it difficult, I will think of something. ”

Tang Zhiyu shook his head and said, "Because there was a surplus in the domain treasury last year, it is okay now." It's just that the river is dredged, mainly at the time of the autumn and winter transition, when there is a lot of silver that needs to be used, and it may be difficult. ”

Cao Hao thought for a while and said, "It's not sure how much income Cangzhou can have. I'll come up with a way to raise another sum of money before the fall. ”

Tang Zhiyu knew Cao Hao's methods, and when he heard him say this, he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the first half of this year, the river workers have already used 200,000 taels of silver, and in the second half of the year, they will have to spend 400,000 or 500,000 taels of silver.

In addition, Cao Hao had already mentioned that after June, he would pay a sum of money for recruiting troops, which was not a small amount, and if he didn't think of other methods, he might have to use "cheap silver", and if he couldn't give it to everyone by the end of the year, he would arouse the resentment of the officialdom.

Now that the "fire consumption is returned to the public" has only been implemented throughout the country, if the officialdom of Zhili is in chaos because of this, what is the face of the imperial court.

After Tang Zhiyu left, Cao Hao remembered the "female ghost" that he had taken away at Li's house, and forgot to ask her about the ending. However, it didn't take long for the official documents of this case to report on the Governor's Palace, and then someone would investigate it.

Cao Hao is most concerned about the matter of the Green Battalion at the moment, and he has already sent an official document to spread the message that the generals of the Green Battalion from all over the country have come to the Governor's Mansion to discuss military affairs.

On May 16, the official residence of the Governor's Palace, Cao Hao convened his second military council after his arrival in Zhili.

"I think you have heard about the Tianjin Guard, so those who ignore the military order, let alone wear it, wait until they report to the palace, maybe they will have the 'blessing' to go to Xinjiang Province or Heilongjiang to see the scenery of the border area." Cao Hao didn't say anything, and said directly: "Qin will go to Zhili next month, and Zhili Green Camp will be transferred." If you are still lucky, then the governor can only deal with it according to the military order. ”

Like those lucky officials like Tianjin Wei Qianhu, there are by no means one or two.

When Cao Hao said this, he looked at Admiral Linan, who was Tianjin Wei's boss.

The admiral's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at Cao Hao, so he hurriedly looked away, and a white sweat suddenly appeared on his head.

"The Governor was mentioned by the Emperor, the Governor is directly under the military and political affairs, and there is no effort to do it, and he goes to the guard station to pick up which places are good and which are not good, and the Governor only asks you to ask about this matter. In the matter of Tianjin Wei, whether it is bullied by the officials below or not, someone must bear the crime of 'negligence'. There is still a month to go, and it is time to inspect. This governor here's a word of advice to you, and you need to be careful. The law does not blame the people, it applies to the people, but it is not suitable for officialdom. If all of you really 'fail to investigate', the emperor will not sympathize with the incompetence of the governor, and may even be angry with you. Cao Hao's gaze turned from his face. The face became more and more solemn.

Seeing that Cao Hao was annoyed, everyone was resigned and a little cautious.

It's just that after leaving the Governor's Palace, everyone gloated a little more about Admiral Linan. There are a few smooth-minded people who are already thinking about training well, and maybe they can take this opportunity to be promoted to the post of admiral.

The admiral's face turned red when he saw it, and he actually felt a little chilly.

Zhili training, some people will take advantage of this to rise to the top, and it is inevitable that some people will fall off the clouds, this admiral doesn't want to ask himself at this juncture.

If you are named in front of the emperor, the future of this life will end here.

The admiral was so frightened that he visited two "old friends" of Qingyuan, raised 1,000 taels of silver, and went to the governor's palace before dinner.

Cao Hao was reading the letter from Beijing, and when he heard that the Admiral of Linan asked to see him, his heart turned and he understood his intention.

Thinking of Tang Zhiyu's methods of dealing with Li Pengju, Cao Hao felt that he was still too merciful.

The hundreds of acres of official land that Tianjin Wei Qianhu embezzled, as well as the empty salary over the years, always have to blow up some oil and water.

This wicked man is to be done by Admiral Linan. It was his territory, and without the protection of the Admiral's Mansion, Tianjin Wei would not dare to regard the Governor's Order as child's play.

The old surname of the Admiral of Linan is Wulanala, named Shoucheng, and he is a member of the queen's clan. It's just that because the queen has always been respectful, he is separated from the queen, and he is not ostentatious, so he is not known to the world.

He, the admiral, did not rely on the queen, but relied on his early military exploits to survive step by step in the officialdom.

Cao Hao only mentioned a few words, he understood what Cao Hao meant, what he said was good, in order to get rid of his involvement, he personally went to investigate the affairs of Tianjin Wei, but in fact, he asked him to check the family background of Tianjin Wei Qianhu...... After Shou Cheng left the Governor's Palace, his face drooped suddenly.

He looked back at the gate of the Governor's Palace, thinking about the thousand taels of silver he had given out, but he felt a pain in his flesh, and cursed in his heart: "I really can't feed it, and I'm not afraid to hold on to ......it."
