Chapter 667 Various News (Ask for a monthly pass!)
It felt like everything was pretty much arranged, and in mid-April, Qin Dewei planned to set off for the north.

This time, he only stayed in his hometown Nanjing for more than ten days. It seemed that he didn't have much time, but it was really a blessing from God.

You must know that for the vast majority of Ming officials, entering an official career means selling themselves to the emperor, and they can only return to their hometowns if they are dismissed or dismissed from office.

Other than that, there are only three situations. The first is that the parents die and have to go home to guard the system; the second is that they pass by their hometown when they go to other places to take office; the third is that they are from the capital or Nanjing.

Sometimes, I read in the history books that some officials resigned or were dismissed for no reason, and then recovered after two years, maybe it was because this person was homesick.

This time Qin Dewei went north, bringing Mrs. Gu, his second son Qin Guotai, and some property with him.

In the end, he left his eldest son, Qin Guozuo, in Nanjing, otherwise he was afraid that something might happen to his uncle Qin Xiang.

Then before leaving, Qin Dewei told his uncle that the Yuanfeng Bank in Nanjing should focus on stability, and not to expand it for the time being, and wait for the capital to open up a new way.

For the sake of safety, to avoid accidents of encountering bandits on the way, they borrowed [-] strong military guards from Wei Guogong.

In this way, the team going north is quite impressive, with more than ten ships loaded with people and things, which is quite worthy of the status of a small power minister.

According to the old rules, we still start from Longjiang Pass.Qin Dewei has walked back and forth on this waterway several times and is no stranger to it.

But after departure, something happened.

Qin Dewei disliked the stuffiness in the cabin, sat on the bow deck of the ship while blowing the wind, and sipping tea while holding a small teapot, while the escort ship opened the way ahead.

Suddenly Qin Dewei saw a young man with a fifth-grade animal patch on his chest emerging from the boat in front of him, beckoning to him.

"Surprise or not? Surprise or not?" Xu Shi'an Xu Laosan stood on the front boat and shouted loudly to Qin Dewei.

Qin Dewei: "."

Xu Shi'an shouted again across the water: "Third Master, I have never left Nanjing, this time I will personally escort you to the north to see the world!"

Two days later, he arrived in Yangzhou city and lived in the water station outside Nanshuiguan, and then Qin Dewei entered the city.

Master Feng Enfeng served as the censor of the Lianghuai patrol salt here. Since he passed by, he must pay a visit.Besides, the reform of the salt law was proposed and promoted by Qin Dewei, so he cannot ignore the actual situation.

However, when Scholar Qin came to the Xunyan Censor's Office, he was in vain. Master Feng was not in the official office.

After Scholar Qin revealed his identity, there was a report from the book office: "Master Feng took the lead and personally led the salt dealers to arrest the smugglers on the Salt River in the east."

Qin Dewei was speechless.Very good, very energetic, very personal characteristics of Master Feng.

Qin Dewei didn't know how to evaluate the dignified person at the top of Lianghuai Salt Administration who personally led a team to arrest private salt dealers.

In the middle of the night, Qin Dewei was sleeping soundly in the luxurious courtyard of the post house, when he was suddenly woken up by the night watchman.

A post station servant reported in the courtyard: "Master Feng, the inspector of salt in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, has come and is waiting in the lobby of the post station!"

Making noise in the middle of the night, this is something only Master Feng can do!Qin Dewei had nothing to say, and forced himself to wake up with cold water, then got dressed and went out.

Master Feng still looked so young, he didn't look like a man in his forties at all, and the wind and frost accumulated in Liaodong gradually faded, and he said excitedly: "I heard that you passed by Yangzhou, so I came to visit overnight!"

Qin Dewei yawned, and couldn't help but respond: "If you hadn't met me, you would be an official at the sixth rank at most! It's still miscellaneous!"

The two changed to a more private flower hall, and then Master Feng took the initiative to talk about the reform of the salt law, "Originally, the share of Western merchants has shrunk to [-]%, but after the restoration of China and France, the share of Western merchants has now recovered to [-]%. Seventy percent."

"This momentum is very good." Qin Dewei nodded in approval.

Opening China and France is to exchange border materials for salt imports. This is the strength of merchants in border provinces such as Shaanxi and Shanxi. Therefore, the expansion of Western merchants' share in the salt industry means an increase in border materials.

The share of Western merchants has expanded from 100,000% to [-]% to [-]%, which means that food and other materials worth [-] taels of silver are sent to border towns every year.Looking at the whole country, it is equivalent to a transfer payment from southeast to northwest.

After the happy announcement, Feng En began to talk about the problem again: "In the past, private salt dealers were sporadic small groups, and even individuals fought alone.

But now there are a large number of southern salt merchants who have lost their salt citations, and many of them have begun to traffic in private salt, and these people are more violent than the original small private salt dealers. "

Qin Dewei has no way of completely eradicating this phenomenon. Any restructuring will have people whose interests are damaged.

Qin Dewei could only suggest: "It's better to block it than to block it. We should try to give them a way out to reduce future troubles as much as possible."

Master Feng asked very skillfully, "Will the plan be released?"

Qin Dewei said angrily: "You have to think about it yourself, don't ask me all the questions! This time I will only give a general idea. I remember that the Lianghuai Salt Industry Marketing Salt Area is Nanzhili, Jiangxi, and Huguang.

Each prefecture counts as an area, which is monopolized by one or several distributors, and then gradually turning those southern salt merchants into sub-distributors who contract the area can be regarded as giving them a way to survive.

The specific rules and regulations are up to you, but remember that the government must take the greatest initiative! "

Master Feng thought of something, and smiled again: "Recently, I suddenly felt that you proposed the reform of the salt law, but in fact, you and I have lost a lot!
It turned out that the salt merchants paid the silver in Yangzhou, and then they could receive the salt, and then Yangzhou had to send 100,000 taels of silver to the capital.

For Qianzhuang, this is actually a huge opportunity, especially if you have always dreamed of connecting the north and the south.I am here as a censor, so I can do my best to help you achieve your wish.

Now that it has been changed back to Kaizhongfa, the border towns can only exchange materials for salt and silver. There is less money in Yangzhou, and there is no need to send a large amount of silver to the court. From the perspective of the bank, the benefits are much smaller. "

Qin Dewei sighed, as long as money is enough, the consciousness of the time traveler is so high.

No one in this era can imagine the tragedy a hundred years later, let alone the sinking of China three or four hundred years later. Although they don't know how far they can go, they can recover a little bit.

The two haven't seen each other for a long time, and the conversation has been talking about dawn.Then Qin Dewei continued on his way. In fact, he didn't have much time to delay on the way.

There was nothing else to do all the way, when the time just entered the middle of May, in the enthusiasm of the early summer, Zhan Shi, the young master of Zhan Shifu, a bachelor of Zuochunfang University and a bachelor of Imperial Academy, and Qin Dewei, the admiral of Siyiguan, returned to the capital.

Xu Miaoxuan, the chief wife of the Qin Mansion in the capital, was very excited. After she hurriedly helped to settle Gu and Qin Guotai, she took the initiative to take her husband to bed as soon as it was dark.

After Xu Xiaodi went out for a while and came back, he was promoted to the commander of Jinyiwei and the assistant to Beizhen Fusi.

Xu Miaoxuan, the elder sister, thought nothing of repaying herself, so she had to reward Qin Dewei several times with her appearance.

Qin Dewei couldn't stand the enthusiasm, so he stopped quickly: "Wait a minute, I'll find someone to call my brother over, I'll see you first!"

As a qualified political figure, after returning to the capital, of course, he must first understand the current situation, otherwise he will not be able to sleep soundly.

Not long after, Xu Miaojing rushed over and reported the latest situation to Qin Dewei.

It turned out that Emperor Jiajing came back a month ago, and went to Dayu Mountain in Changping to investigate in person, and finally confirmed that the geomantic omen of Dayu Mountain was not as good as that of Chengtianfu Chunde Mountain.

Then, Emperor Jiajing hid in the palace and never appeared again, and the court meeting was suspended.

Xu Miaojing didn't pay much attention to this, and said casually: "Your Majesty's dragon body has never been strong, and now it has been exhausted for two or three months, so it needs to rest."

But after Qin Dewei heard this key information, he knew very well in his heart that Emperor Jiajing had finally started the mode of cultivating immortals. I am afraid that cultivating immortals will be his main job in the future, and the emperor will be a side job.

So I shook my head and said, "I'm afraid the story of Chenghua Dynasty will reappear."

Xu Miaojing had already been popularized about what the Chenghua Dynasty was like, and he said in disbelief, "That's not the case, is it?"

If the emperor didn't go to court and didn't see his ministers, wouldn't his job as a royal guard on duty be just a gimmick?

Although Qin Dewei knows the trend, he can't prove it concretely, so he can only let the facts educate Xu Xiaodi, who still has fantasies, in the future.

As for the motivation and reasons of Emperor Jiajing's turning point, it is enough to write this thesis.

To put it simply, one is the sense of disillusionment. After the death of his parents, Ma Baonan's emperor was severely hit mentally, and his mentality was extremely lonely, and he was more inclined to religious comfort;

The second is frustration. Emperor Jiajing was a very sensitive person. What he saw and heard during the southern tour was not satisfactory, which made him think that ten years of hard work were wasted, so why did he bother?
Even if Scholar Qin consciously threw dozens of flattering poems and essays for spiritual encouragement, it could not conceal the status quo. Today's world is not the prosperous age that Emperor Jiajing imagined.

The third is fear.This led to an extreme desire for longevity, and this desire gradually overwhelmed worldly affairs, gaining the upper hand in the mind of Emperor Jiajing.

Brother Xu continued to report other matters. The most important thing for him was that during the southern tour, the national teacher Shao Yuanjie died.
After Yu Jia returned to the capital, Xu Xiaodi's old Taishan Tao Zhongwen was named "Shenxiao Baoguo Honglie Propaganda Zhenfa Tongzhen Loyalty Bingyi Master" to take over the Taoist affairs of the late Shao Yuanjie.

In other words, Tao Laodao, Ah Bu, Tao Zhenren has officially become the second generation of the Jiajing Dynasty State Teacher.

Speaking of this, little brother Xu felt more and more that his brother-in-law was wise and powerful, and he could see the potential of Tao Zhenren four years ago. What kind of vision is this?
Xu Miaojing said again: "At the beginning of the month, when your Majesty went to Dayu Mountain for inspection, the chief assistant Xia Guizhou was late with his driver for some reason, His Majesty was furious and condemned Xia Guizhou for being negligent and rude.

Later, His Majesty dismissed Xia Guizhou in a fit of anger, and recovered the imperial silver medal, but after a few days, His Majesty's anger subsided, and Xia Guizhou was reinstated.

However, when Xia Guizhou went to thank him, his words angered His Majesty again, and he was reprimanded again, and the young master was demoted to the young guard. "

Qin Dewei has nothing to say about this. This kind of drama will be staged frequently in the next few years. As for whether Yan Song will be involved in it, he doesn't know.

In fact, how to deal with the triangular relationship with Xia Yan and Yan Song is a great knowledge.

"By the way, be careful. I heard that Lu Zhan has a lot of opinions on you." Xu Miaojing reminded again, "After the reconstruction of Zhan's mansion, now the staff is gradually arriving, and you are the only one left, which has caused delays. Lu Zhan is very upset that he cannot open the mansion."

After the big reshuffle, the Zhan Shifu has changed from a false official to a real one. It can be said that it is a mansion full of talents. A large number of scholarly elites have been selected, and many of them are from other places.

For example, Luo Hongxian, the number one scholar in the eighth year of Jiajing, re-entered the court from his hometown in Jiangxi, Tang Shunzhi, the Huiyuan in the eighth year of Jiajing, also re-entered the court from his hometown in Changzhou, and Xu Jie, who is more familiar to most people, was Tanhua in the second year of Jiajing.

In February, Zhan Shifu was reorganized, and by April, 35 new Zhan Shifu officials gathered from all directions, and almost all of them were present, except for a certain Shao Zhanshi who was absent.

The Crown Prince's East Palace is the foundation of the country, and the rebuilding of the East Palace's official office is a major event for the court. Zhan Shi's Mansion Zhan Shi Lu Shen thought about holding a grand opening ceremony after all the people arrived.

And let all the staff of Zhan Shifu attend and get to know each other. After all, this is a completely new government office, and many people are still strangers to each other.

As a result, after waiting and waiting, in the end, only Shao Zhan Shi and Zuo Chunfang University scholar had not returned to his position, and one month passed without being absent, and the inaugural meeting of the new Zhan Shifu was delayed.

If others are absent, Lu Zhan will ignore it.But what was absent was the only second-in-command of Zhan Shifu, a mascot such as the Zuochunfang University Scholar, and such a special person who was not easy to mess with.

So Lu Zhan couldn't get around the matter, so the more he waited, the more annoyed he became.

Hearing this, Qin Dewei said helplessly: "Oh, it's all formalism, why pay so much attention to it, why are they waiting for me! I don't mind!"

Xu Miaojing looked at Qin Dewei again and again, thinking silently in her heart, brother-in-law, you say you don't mind now, but if they really don't wait for you and open the house behind your back, maybe you will get mad again.

Then Xu Miaojing silently gave himself a thumbs-up, he felt that he had improved again, and he could actually see that his brother-in-law was insincere.

Xu Miaojing still had a lot of news to say, but when he accidentally looked up, he found that his sister was standing at the door at some point, staring at him fiercely.

So little brother Xu stood up immediately, took the initiative to leave and said: "It's getting late, I'm going back to rest, if brother-in-law has something to say, we can talk about it tomorrow!"

After watching Xu Xiaodi leave, Qin Dewei said to Xu Miaoxuan: "Go to bed first, I'm going to the West Mansion to talk to my father, and Li Jing.

They should be going to Liaodong soon. I want to hurry up and talk to them. I don't know how late it will be. You don't have to wait for me. "

As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility!
　It seems that the double monthly pass has begun, and a new stage has also begun. Ask for a monthly pass to stimulate your thinking! ! ! ! ! !
