Number of romantic figures

Chapter 576
There was a dead silence in the hall.

Everyone here understands the truth, but the reality before them is cruel.

It turned out to be quite fat - the income from the salt affairs of the two Zhejiang provinces was cleaned up by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Long Jinwei the year before last, and it was completely gone. It is very difficult to rebuild the network; If that's the case, then only Lianghuai Salt Services is left.

In fact, the Lianghuai salt business is rich enough. If Lin Ruhai's elm head can be enlightened and his hands looser, it might not be able to make up for the loss of the first two yuan.

Even if it can't be as moisturizing as before, at least it can make up for most of it.

But Lin Ruhai is strictly abiding by the rules set by the Supreme Emperor, and he is determined not to go beyond the custom. In the past two years, he could rely on the concubine to sometimes send a sentence or give a little extra, but since last year, this The servant will never again.

Prince Yizhong's eyes turned around Chu and Wang, and finally nodded: "Mr. Chu, please go to Yangzhou and Jinling, I will let Lao Gu and the others go with you, if Zhen Yingjia is playing tricks on Gu Head, that Gu is going to take him under the knife; Kezhen, you take Gu’s letters to Ningbo and Zhangzhou, they write letters complaining all day long, this time Gu will see their courage, Fujian Navy , I have an arrangement, you can act more aggressively, if something goes wrong, I will find a way to say hello to Fujian and Zhejiang,..."

It's rare to see Prince Yizhong being so decisive. Chu Qi and Wang Zinian also knew that Prince Yizhong's life was at stake this time, forcing him to make up his mind.

Cutting off the income from smuggling at sea almost drove the prince to a desperate situation, and Lin Ruhai on the Lianghuai side has always refused to give in. The stalemate between the Supreme Emperor and the emperor about the next candidate for the salt inspection censor will continue. Just an opportunity.

If we want to get back this situation, we can only use two prongs. There must be progress and gains in the Lianghuai salt business, and there must be breakthroughs in the Fujian-Zhejiang smuggling. We must not let Kaihai be carried out so easily and smoothly. .

Seeing that both Chu Qi and Wang Zinian had serious expressions, Prince Yizhong stood up again and waved his hands.

"Don't worry too much, both of you. Gu knows what's going on. Don't look at Gu having a hard time now. The fourth child is also being roasted on the stove. Does he think this throne is so easy to sit on?"

Prince Yizhong was pacing back and forth on the steps of the hall, his gaze was a little more gloomy.

"The fourth brother is also being forced to a desperate situation now. The Jurchen offensive in Liaodong is like a wave. Li Chengliang has formally asked for his official post due to his illness. The fourth brother refused, but Li Chengliang resolutely quit. Hmph, in name he is old and sick, this old man In fact, I have already realized that the trouble is serious. As soon as Kuandian Liubao gave up, the soldiers of the slave chiefs pointed directly at the Yalu River. There's already some movement over there,..."

Chu Qi and Wang Zinian exchanged glances, "My lord, Liaodong..."

"Humph, if Li Chengliang doesn't want to be the governor of Jiliao, who can take on this heavy responsibility? Li Chengliang is the fourth child who forced him out of the mountain, thinking that Li Chengliang can still bow his head and obey his orders as soon as he left Manuerhachi like 30 or [-] years ago. I don’t even think that the times are different, Jianzhou Jurchens are ambitious, if Da Zhou doesn’t have enough strength to suppress him, how can he listen to the words of an old man? Really think Jurchens can talk to you about nonsense friendship?”

Prince Yizhong's words were full of disdain, "It's better now. Li Chengliang is scared. He feels that he can't control the Jianzhou Jurchen. The Six Fortresses of Kuandian are lost. North Korea's attitude has changed, so they want to withdraw to avoid losing their security in the evening. Can't the courtiers see it? I heard that the scholars in the North were extremely dissatisfied with this, and they collectively wrote a letter demanding that Li Chengliang be held accountable.

These news were beyond the reach of Chu Qi and Wang Zinian, so it seemed that the life of the emperor was also difficult.

If those censors were really allowed to start biting Li Chengliang, then no one would be able to stop these censors from seeking out the truth. With Li Chengliang's arrogance and greed for ink in Liaodong for many years, how can he not find a little fault?

Once Li Chengliang falls, how many sons of Li Chengliang are still in Liaodong, and what will those martial arts think?Do you feel that the rabbit died and the dog cooked the bird?
But if you stay in China and don’t send out or send a few able-bodied censors out, it will undoubtedly increase the resentment towards the emperor among the northern scholars and even the Chinese courtiers, and these northern scholars are precisely the emperor’s basic base , hated them, and the Jiangnan scholars have always been the base of the Supreme Emperor, and they are even more inclined to be loyal to the prince. Doesn't this make relatives hurt enemies?
It's no wonder that although the prince is in a bad mood, he is not out of control. This is a difficult brother, and they are all in trouble.

"Also, now that the imperial court is out of money, Zheng Jizhi has been encouraging the fourth brother to take out the silver in the inner treasury all day long, but the fourth son's inner treasury can run away from mice, and he dare not say it to the public..., Chai Ke eagerly ran back from the western border, just to ask for money, how easy is it to be the governor of the three sides? How easy is it to earn the title of opening up territories and recovering lost land?..."

The contempt on Prince Yizhong's face grew stronger, and he also needed to cheer up his two capable subordinates, so as not to let them lose their fighting spirit.

"The fourth brother played well. He actually asked Liu Dongyang and the gang of rebels to do some tricks of foreground. He thought that he could add luster to himself, and his name would go down in history. He wanted to be the Emperor of Qin and Hanwu? Don't even think about it, Shazhou and Hami Is it that easy?"

"..., the logistical supplies for thousands of miles, and the horse chews for tens of thousands of people, all rely on money. Even the towns of Gansu and Ningxia can't afford it, and they still want to build some land. It's purely for his own face, and it's just absurd to play with state affairs!"

"..., it's a good time now. If you play too big, you'll be exposed, and you won't have any money. If you regain land today, you will lose it tomorrow. There will even be another mutiny. Then Da Zhou will really become a big joke."

It is true that sitting on the throne is beautiful, but there are more messes and more pressure. Even a small mess like Prince Yizhong has been ruined, let alone Emperor Yonglong who is responsible for the entire Zhou Dynasty?

"On the prairie, Shitu and Su Nang are about to fight again, and Lin Danhan from Chahar is sharpening his knife outside the Xuanda side wall again, so frightened that Niu Jizong has been asking for more military equipment, supplementary troops and food. , I heard that Zhang Jingqiu and the fourth child dare not see Niu Jizong anymore, hahahaha..."

Laughter echoed in the hall, and it was not until Chu Qi and Wang Zinian left that Prince Yizhong slowly withdrew his smile.

The fourth child is indeed having a difficult time, but this does not mean that he is better off, nor does it mean that the fourth child will not be able to play well. He is the emperor and faces many troubles, but he can mobilize more resources.

He was a prince before, and he knew his younger brother very well, especially he could bear it, otherwise he couldn't finally overthrow himself and sit in this position by himself.

These difficulties and troubles are indeed not small, but it does not mean that the fourth child is helpless. The cabinet and the sixth department are still some capable people, and they will naturally give him advice and solve problems.

Thinking of this, Prince Yizhong couldn't help sighing again, if he sat in the position of the fourth child, he would definitely be able to do a better job than him.

Look at what he has done. He promoted Li Chengliang as the governor of Jiliao, abandoned the Six Forts of Kuandian, and went to Hami, Shazhou, Forte. He didn't seriously think about the current predicament of Dazhou. He still does these things all day long. it's useless.

However, this strategy to open the sea, Prince Yizhong has to admit that it is indeed a good prescription, but it is a good prescription for the fourth child, and even for the court, but it is a heartbroken medicine for himself.

This Feng Ziying, did not expect that a tender baby of fifteen or sixteen years old could play such a big trick, and I really underestimated this guy.

Thinking of this, Prince Yizhong felt a little annoyed, didn't he say he was born in Wu Xun?He has a close relationship with Rongning Second Mansion, but why is he so determined to work for the fourth child?

This guy's father is actually the general soldier of Yulin. It is said that Chai Ke is going to recommend him to be the successor governor of the three sides. Thinking of this, Prince Yizhong couldn't help but feel a little moved.

I don't know what are the preferences and weaknesses of this guy?
I want to understand it better so that I can prescribe the right medicine.

********
Seeing that graceful beauty coming out of Jia Lian's room, Feng Ziying couldn't help but say shit.

It's no wonder that Sister Lin's tone is weird when she talks about Lian's second brother, and it's no wonder that Zijuan looks at her with a different look.

Feng Ziying didn't quite understand it before, and thought why this Zijuan had such a strange expression. It turned out that he was here for Jia Lian, probably because he regarded himself as the same as Jia Lian, right?

Yangzhou Slim Horse really deserves its reputation.

Just looking at this walking posture, I feel sorry for myself, graceful and graceful, and I heard that it is a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, playing flute and flute, all of them are proficient, and I can even recite poems and compose Fu.

Feng Ziying didn't know how much Jia Lian had spent to redeem the girl. It was said that she was teased by Qing Dynasty. It seemed that she couldn't get it without a thousand taels of silver.

He really doesn't know the price of this Yangzhou skinny horse. He has heard of the price of Datong's mother-in-law in Datong a few years ago. Those with excellent qualifications usually cost more than a thousand taels of silver, and even expensive ones cost thousands of taels. The Yangzhou skinny horse, which is as famous as Datong's mother-in-law and aunt, will not be lower than this number.

Could it be that Jia Lian has also been suppressed in the mansion for a long time, and it has only been a long time since he came out that he started to let himself go?

I have to go back and let Wang Xifeng, who is jealous, know, so it's okay?
But looking at Jia Lian's wry smile and this woman's affectionate appearance, Feng Ziying felt a chill.

It was a good day today, and in the future, Shura Field, Brother Lian, have you thought about how to deal with Sister Feng?
