Lu Yihao's temperament and Yu Wenxuzhong's temperament are really interesting, and it is also interesting that the official family uses these two people to go to the northwest and southeast respectively.

Of course, this person also wanted to take advantage of the situation to tease Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang. Although everyone was on the boat, it was hard to laugh too much.

Therefore, everyone soon returned to normal, leaving the matter behind in the distant tone of "The Legend of the White Snake", and then continued to talk about other news while using some spring vegetables.

And this kind of chat naturally involves talking about everything.

"Shilang Lu struggled for a long time and finally decided to stay, but Wu Min also went to Jingxi East Road."

"Actually, both the Shui and Mu parties are concerned about the overall situation, but the Minister Lu is the most aggressive. It's no wonder that Mr. Zhao wanted to drive him away before."

"That's not bad. I think...if...I mean, if there is really a partisan dispute between the two parties, this person must be the cause of the antagonism between the two prime ministers Zhao and Zhang."

"With the officials sitting on top, how could there really be a party dispute? Zhang Deyuan relied on the official's number one confidant, and Mr. Zhao was a true loyal minister. Although the official said a word, he didn't think so, but

I still abandoned Taoism and changed the original philosophy."

"Let's stop talking about this kind of thing..."

"Speaking of which, since the last two million yuan, has the Ministry of Household Affairs said anything about building wealth?"

"Of course there is... Based on this calculation, I am afraid that the 30 million hole will be filled up before the end of next year. After the autumn harvest, the overall situation will be stable."

"It's a pity that Chao Gongwu is not here recently, otherwise he would have been laughed at in person."

"Don't mention him."

"But it's not just a matter of money... There is talk from the Ministry of Industry that even if you have money, you have to exchange it for weapons, grain and grass to fight. But now, although there is Vietnam's trade of feet, cloth and rice, rice can be directly exchanged

Send it to Jingdong, but what about the ordnance? There is no rush."

"The country is so big, does it still lack craftsmen?"

"How can we not be short?"

"Besides, the matter is not as simple as ordnance. There are also munitions storage along the river, grain road rest, etc., which will also take time to do."

"Speaking of which, isn't Xiao Yu Tanhua doing this? It would be nice to ask him, but it's a pity that he's not here."

"It is precisely because he wanted to do this that he was not here."

"Did you hear that the government officials came up with a new thing? It is said that it was sent directly to the military governors for control...I heard it was made of crystal."

"In this case, we have no way of knowing even if we want to know."

"Do you know that the Kingdom of Jin has recently changed its laws? When Nianhan was in power, ordinary people were not allowed to leave their place without authorization because of the swarm of rebels. Even merchants were not allowed to travel more than thirty miles a day using the guide... Nianhan

After I left, this law was abolished last year. As a result, the rebel army flourished, but I had no choice but to see the Jin Guodi newspaper the day before yesterday. It actually changed back to the old rules and set up a Baojia system. One family fled and ten families were seated together. "

"The Jurchen dogs deserve to die, and so do those surrendering dogs who came up with ideas."

"Speaking of Jurchens, are Shaanzhou going to send troops to Hezhong Prefecture again? I heard that the Minister of War led the Water Supervisor Liu Shilang (Liu Hongdao) to the west."

"It must be so."

"The officials are not stopping at all. Just after the spring rush, they will directly use the troops..."

"It is definitely indispensable, and it will only become more and more frequent in the future. Firstly, it is to train troops, and secondly, it is to alert both the inside and outside. Don't forget to fight in peace."

"But just laying an ambush in Hezhong Mansion means not forgetting to fight. After a few times, people in the world will not take it seriously."

"There's nothing we can do about it... Actually, instead of worrying about this, it's better to worry that the Jurchens will suddenly attack Pinglu with all their strength, or give up the Hezhong Mansion. Then there will be trouble."

"You are just talking on paper... The reason why Pinglu can be saved many times is because there is Zhongtiao Mountain between this city and Hezhong Prefecture. When the Jurchens advance, the logistics must go around the pass, and Pinglu and Shaanzhou City

But they are only separated by a river, and they are connected... As for giving up the Hezhong Mansion, then just take it. If the Jurchens come back again to seek annihilation, why not abandon it there? The officials and the governors are used to using soldiers.

Yes, I won’t be particular about this matter.”

Everyone laughed again, but there was a hint of ridicule among them. Hu Quan, the leader of the boat beside him, had only been eating early and didn't say a word at all.

The people from Meishe on the side were also laughing, but they knew exactly what was going on.

Let's say that only a year has passed since he joined this small group, but things have already changed... Chao Gongwu, who was talented but had different opinions from everyone, has gradually disappeared; Xiao Yu Tanhua Yu Yunwen, who was both talented and learned

I haven't been promoted at all, but like the big brother here, Hu Quan, I am the type who waits for the qualifications and opportunity to rise to the top. Recently, I have been increasingly busy, working in various military camps and youth loans...

Under such circumstances, there will inevitably be some mediocre people who make up the numbers, making the dinner gradually less interesting.

"Does anyone have anything interesting to say?" Hu Quan paused for a long time and saw that everything in the store was eaten up by a group of young officials. In the end, they only got into a large basin of water to fish for mung bean sprouts. Hu Quan was a little impatient.

I had the intention of turning back, so I decided to ask directly again.

"There is something... that cannot be called important, but something strange... maybe it is worth mentioning." Wai Lang, a relatively reliable member of the Criminal Department, frowned. "Do you still remember that there was someone in the Imperial Academy when the Imperial Academy was asking about politics?

Are you going to file an imperial edict in front of the gate?"

"Is there something...is this matter not settled yet? Is it some big case?"

"The case is from Fujian, and it takes two months to come and go. Besides, the matter is not an evil thing like killing relatives and fighting for property, but a quite senseless trivial matter."

"So that's it, then what's so strange about it?"

"The thing is like this. There have always been Fan merchants living in Quanzhou. Maybe they built a Fan temple in the area. Recently, a Fan temple was built opposite the county school in a county under Quanzhou, but the Fan temple is

Those who recited scriptures would inevitably affect the students' classes, so the students reported it to the magistrate... Who would have thought that the magistrate would just fool around with such a simple matter, and finally angered the locals. I just thought that the magistrate might also believe in the religion, so there would be

The local scholar-officials found an old Fujian man in Tokyo City and asked for help in making the matter bigger so that they could deal with the magistrate and demolish the Nafan Temple."

Hearing this, Hu Quan, who was holding a large bowl of bean sprouts, already knew what was going on. However, he glanced at the Meishe people who were stunned at the bean sprouts and sneered at him: "If my guess is right, the Ministry of Punishment will immediately

The minister must have sided with the local scholar-bureaucrats and asked the magistrate to explain and then demolish the temple. However, the Fujian local government was just perfunctory and tried to defend the magistrate over and over again. Things continued like this.

,right?"

"The enemy...the Fujian side generally supports the county magistrate." Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, immediately became excited.

"Maoxiu (characterized by Plum Oak), what do you think?" Hu Quan asked about Plum Oak as expected.

Hearing this, Mei Li also smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Why, it's not that the imperial court now takes finance as the key link, and everything is done around building wealth, and political performance also depends on this... Not to mention a county under Quanzhou, it is the entire Fujian

, I also hope that the Fanshang from Quanzhou can make more trips... What's more, the last time the officials strictly refused the Fanshang to receive the royal document flag, the Quanzhou Fanshang was also very emotional. At this time, the local people in Fujian

Naturally, I don’t want to be troublesome! If the business tax is really reduced and it affects my official career, who will be responsible?"

Everyone suddenly realized.

"Besides that, there is another layer." Mei Qu continued with a wry smile. "Since Jingkang, turmoil has moved from north to south, and Taoism has also moved southward. After the Baima Shaoxing Incident, Taoism gained a lot of support from scholar-bureaucrats.

As for the southeast area where there are many academies, the county school is good, but the so-called local scholar-bureaucrats are all involved in Taoism... The reason why the great Sima (Liu Ziyu of the Ministry of War) took his younger brother out of Fujian was because he was afraid that he would leave.

He followed the path of Taoism... So according to me, this matter fell to the great Sikou (Ma Shen of the Ministry of Punishment), otherwise anyone else would have considered the difficulties in Fujian and suppressed the matter."

Yes, someone nearby clapped in response: "But it fell into the hands of the big Sikou, and the truth about this matter lies with the local scholar-officials and the big Sikou. The Fujian area can only go around in circles with the Ministry of Punishment, sooner or later.

If you can't bear it, then you won't want to cause trouble to the provincial minister or even to the official family."

Everyone became more and more astonished.

However, Wai Lang, a member of the Criminal Department, hesitated for a moment, and then added seriously: "This matter is roughly as what Brother Hu and Mao Xiu said, but I think it is a bit strange. One of the things is that the magistrate of Quanzhou has nothing to do with Fujian. The top and bottom are different, and they advocate severe handling of the matter and the immediate demolition of Fan Temple."

"You can't say he's a Taoist. Is it strange?"

"If that's the case, it's just that the matter will escalate faster, and it may be brought to the attention of the prime minister or officials soon... But after all, it is a trivial matter and has nothing to do with the court."

Everyone nodded and said no more. The matter was over. At this time, even the mung bean sprouts fished out of the basin of water had been eaten. Everyone looked at Hu Quan, waiting for the leader to speak. They want to disperse in a hurry, prepare the boat to turn back, first find a place to release the water, and then go home...

However, for some reason, Hu Quan was silent for a moment. After a while, he even laughed and sighed, rarely taking the initiative to speak: "After you said this, I thought about Li Xueshi's proposal to expand the secret cabinet's important ministers' regulations. If this matter is discussed I don’t believe he has selfish motives, but he himself doesn’t have any. The people who give him advice, or those who advise him to make such suggestions, may not necessarily have selfish motives..."

"Brother Hu, what do you mean?" Everyone was slightly startled, and then someone became curious.

"Two explanations... First, there are only six ministers inside, and nearly twenty envoys outside. The imperial court talks about internal and external shifts, so now it is a bit narrow for the outside; secondly, the imperial court The overall situation is stable. Waiting for the money and food to be fully stocked and the ordnance to be refined, we will start the Northern Expedition. The places where the achievements will be made are in the north and the center. At this time, there are no southern envoys who are ready to move and want to take the opportunity to transfer back." Hu Quan smiled half-heartedly, After calmly speaking, everyone was stunned and then thought quietly.

At this time, Hu Quan had already turned around to look at him, but he just asked the boatman to turn around and dock.

Besides, Hu Quan still had some capital and channels. Only five days after the Jin Mingchi meeting, the official issued a decree. However, as he said, it was not to expand the governorship for the time being, but to control the affairs of the world with the six departments. In order to attach great importance to it, the left and right ministers were permanently appointed, and the number of imperial censors was expanded. Then the number of Hanlin bachelors, Zhongshusheren and pavilion ministers was also slightly increased.

Soon, the provincial government immediately began to select and promote talented gentlemen in accordance with the wishes of the officials... This cannot be accomplished overnight. I don't know how long it will take the two parties, Mizuki and Mizuki, to reach a compromise on this personnel matter.

But almost at the same time, the Fantang case in Fujian finally reached the imperial court... and to everyone's surprise, the Zhao Guan family resolutely issued the decree without any hesitation, fully supporting Ma Shen, the Minister of Punishment. He dismissed the county magistrate, reprimanded the Fujian Road Administrator, and ordered local officials to immediately demolish the temple that had affected the county's education.

It was only after the urging of Zhao Ding and Prime Minister Zhao that he agreed to allow those merchants to rebuild the Fan Temple elsewhere.

Not to mention some other twists and turns in this matter, it will only be said that after this incident, Gou Long Ruyuan, a senior official from Sichuan who knew about Quanzhou affairs, officially entered the attention of the central government officials and was immediately recommended by Zhang Deyuan, a fellow countryman. , and then without any effort, this person became the first beneficiary of this restructuring - the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and entered Beijing.

In late March, the war in Shaanzhou broke out again, and tens of thousands of troops, including Wang De's army from the imperial camp, once again surrounded Hezhong Prefecture.

In early April, the first batch of promoted ministers, including Goulong Ruyuan, arrived in the capital. Almost at the same time, because Wanyan Bali quickly crossed Jishan with Yelu Mawu as the vanguard, the Song army withdrew again.

In late April, as Wang De led his troops back, Zhao Guan's family personally led hundreds of officials out of Yuetai to inspect the troops.
