Chapter 327 Southeast Pillar Hu Zongxian
Yan Maoqing listened to Yan Shifan's words and echoed: "What Xiao Ge said is that these red-haired fans are easy to make money, and now it's all for the Zhejiang and Fujian people Control is unjustifiable."
"Now that Luo Longwen has channels to smuggle through the Japanese, we will naturally be able to earn money from the sea in the future."
Yan Shifan thought deeply. head.
Just counting on the little oil and water in the land and the oil and water on the salt administration, to be honest, Yan Shifan was also anxious.
When Yan Shifan thought that those Zhejiang and Fujian people could earn boatloads of money from red-haired fans by just buying some worthless things like tea, silk and porcelain, Yan Shifan was not envious. Damn it.
Yan Shifan imagined excitedly for a while and finally calmed down.
Because he also knew that expecting Luo Longwen to take the path of the Japanese was unlikely to be effective in three to five or eight years.
So the most important money at the moment is the money that can be grasped, which is the most practical.
Yan Shifan said: "We don't think about Hongmao Fanzi's money now. We just need to figure out the money in the salt administration first."
"Originally, I wanted you to continue paying money to the court according to the previous share, but the emperor is too tossing. Every day is either the Luotian Dajiao or the elixir conference. It also gives me a headache."
"In order to divert the emperor's attention, I can only give him an idea and let him continue to build the palace. And the construction project of this palace is naturally the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry, which I am now in charge of."
"So, if we want to continue to earn money from the court now, we can only make money by building temples for the emperor. Although this method is a bit slow, it is better than safety."
"After all, judging from the books, this money is spent by the emperor, and it has nothing to do with us. Therefore, the money for the salt administration should be collected as we should."
Yan Shifan's words are direct Explained the current situation.
Yan Maoqing said: "Mr. Xiaoge, what about the project of the outer city of the capital?"
Yan Shifan hummed and said: "Langzao. We are not responsible for the project of the outer city of the capital, although we were originally asked to use the salt administration The money is used as project funds.”
“But what is more important than building a palace for the emperor? And the embezzlement of this money is also the emperor’s tacit approval, and it has nothing to do with us.”
"No matter how much trouble that Hai Heizi makes, he can't make trouble with us. So, we just hand over the money and then return it to our hands."
"And you hand it over. The more money we have and the more timely it is, the more the emperor will value our role. When the time comes, promotion and wealth will be something that is just around the corner.”
Yan Maoqing listened to Yan Shifan's words and instantly understood what Yan Shifan meant.
If Yan Shifan was using the construction of palaces for Emperor Jiajing to launder money, laundering the money that was originally earmarked for special use into his own pocket through engineering, this would be a really clever move.
Yan Maoqing bowed admiringly to Yan Shifan, "The old man in the small pavilion has good advice, and I admire him very much. Next, I will definitely do my job well and hand over the money for the salt administration on time and in time." Go to the Ministry of Revenue and let your Majesty see who can serve the court."
After Yan Maoqing heard what Yan Maoqing said, he laughed happily.
This is how things have to be done.
Otherwise, you will just make money for the emperor foolishly without leaving any benefits for yourself. Wouldn't it be in vain? While Yan Shifan and Yan Maoqing were chatting about these money issues, a minister of the Zhu Kingdom who had gone through many vicissitudes of life came to the capital from the local place again.
This man is none other than the good minister who will preside over the overall situation in the southeast in the future - Hu Zongxian!
Hu Zongxian was a Jinshi in the 17th year of Jiajing, but due to ranking issues, he was not qualified to enter the Hanlin Academy, so he was assigned to the Ministry of Punishment to observe politics.
After observing the government for two years, Hu Zongxian was awarded the county magistrate of Yidu County, Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province. While serving in Yidu County, Hu Zongxian showed his political talents.
He first organized a large number of people in Yidu to put out the drought locust plague that had not been seen for many years, and then recruited and surrendered the local bandits in Yidu.
These thieves have been causing harm to Yidu for many years, but Hu Zongxian used his outstanding political skills and the strategy of appeasing and persuading surrender to disband these groups of thieves, and organized more than a thousand of them into the rebel army.
It can be seen that Hu Zongxian not only has the talent to manage affairs, but also has the talent to manage the army.
He is a rare all-round talent with both civil and military skills.
Later, he successively served as the censor to inspect Xuanfu and the important border defense towns of Datong, improve military discipline, and strengthen border defense, further demonstrating his military talents.
Therefore, in the 30th year of Jiajing, Hu Zongxian was appointed as the patrol commissioner of Huguang and participated in quelling the local Miao rebellion.
Now Hu Zongxian has finally completed his mission and returned to the capital from Huguang.
Looking at the majestic and vicissitudes of the Emperor's City in front of him, Hu Zongxian was filled with emotions.
Having been an official for more than ten years, except for the two years he spent in the capital during his initial career as an official at the Ministry of Justice, he spent the rest of his time either in Shandong or in border towns like Xuanfu and Datong. Now I have been staying in Huguang for a few more years, and finally put down the local Miao rebellion.
This time when he returned to Beijing to report on his work, Hu Zongxian couldn't help but imagine that he would be a passing guest in the capital again?
Hu Zongxian sighed in his heart when he thought of this.
The official system of the Ming Dynasty was different from that of previous dynasties.
The official positions in the Ming Dynasty seemed to be a double regulation system.
Those nobles who can stay in the Hanlin Academy, their promotion path is to work in the capital. Without much effort, they can rise from the Imperial Academy to the Six Ministries and Cabinets, important official positions that can influence the affairs of the court.
But people like Hu Zongxian who have practical talents missed the opportunity to enter the Hanlin Academy because of their exam rankings. They have to be like a lonely goose without a home, trying hard to hover outside and stay in the Hanlin Academy. Only by proving their abilities time and time again can they win the favor of the court and slowly rise from the grassroots level.
But the height that can be climbed is also strictly limited. Except for a few lucky ones who can do actual work, the remaining people are just local governors with the title of Shangshu, and they have no chance. Participate in the decision-making and management of the central court.
So, at this moment, Hu Zongxian is also thinking about his future. Will he be a governor who manages a party, or a good minister who can enter the palace?
But judging from his past experience, Hu Zongxian knew very well that he might not have the chance to stay in the capital and serve in the capital. The capital was just a temporary stop in his hurried life journey. I can quickly take a look at where my next stop is, and then I have to leave here.
It can be said that such a future is also cruel to Hu Zongxian. He obviously has the talent to govern the world, but he just has no chance to stay in the center. He can only continue to hover outside like a lone goose, proving his worth to the carnivores in the court.
