Chapter one hundred and eighty fourth
Zhang Weixian glanced at Zeng Shengwu, then smiled and said, "Your Majesty has no explanation, but I did summon me before leaving. Your Majesty still misses Mr. Zeng very much."
Speaking of this, Zhang Weixian suddenly laughed: "Your Majesty is very concerned about the safety of Lord Zeng, and he also told me to see Lord Zeng write a letter back to Beijing to report his safety to Lord Zeng. If there is anything, I will do my best to help Lord Zeng."
Although Zhang Weixian said it very seriously and seriously, Zeng Shengwu was still very embarrassed.
Obviously, I have not submitted a memorial since I left Beijing, let alone wrote a letter to the emperor.
This is a tantrum!
Of course, Zeng Shengwu did this as a manifestation, a manifestation of dissatisfaction with the emperor, and more of a manifestation of "children who can make trouble have milk." However, after being seen through by Zhang Weixian, Zeng Shengwu is naturally a little embarrassed at such an old age.
Zhang Weixian didn't care. He had never seen anything. He had heard of those who wrote bad jokes to the emperor in the memorial. Zeng Shengwu's behavior was just a minor matter. His grandfather once said that sometimes the king and his subjects get along with each other really look like husband and wife.
"Mr. Zeng, I think it's appropriate for Mr. Zeng to write this letter himself!" Zhang Weixian said this lightly and stopped talking.
Zeng Shengwu is also an old man in the officialdom, and it was only a moment of embarrassment. At this moment, he said with a touching look on his face: "Your Majesty is so magnanimous and caring for his ministers, I am really ashamed of my humbleness."
"Your Majesty is right!" Zeng Shengwu sighed and said, "It is not a way to worry about your Majesty. I will write a memorial to apologize to Your Majesty!"
Seeing Zeng Shengwu running to write the memorial eagerly, Zhang Weixian sighed helplessly. Before he came to the northwest, his grandfather repeatedly told him not to force himself to stand up in everything, just watch it.
Unless the northwest has no other matters to do with yourself except for rebellion, don't get involved.
I was a little dissatisfied at that time, but now it seems that I should stay honest! Every good guy is good at it, with a thick face and a dark heart. It is really far from fighting with them. Zhang Weixian sighed in his heart: I still have to practice!
In the afternoon of the same day, the people who went out to catch people started to return to Datong Mansion in groups.
The Ming army in various places was also under martial law and no orders were allowed to leave the camp. The Governor's Office and the General Office also sent people to various garrisons to stabilize the situation. Although the riots were very powerful, there was no chaos.
The border town is different from other places, and there are no scholars and students here, so the so-called public opinion does not exist.
When we fight all day, we have seen dead people. We have a deep understanding of the way to survive, and our minds are gone. In addition, it is a military town after all, and we practice military law. The discipline of the people here is better than other places.
Zeng Shengwu looked at the file in his hand and began to prepare for the public trial meeting. This was brought to him by Zhang Cheng, saying that it was taught by the emperor.
"Public trial meetings are held in various places, critical meetings are held, and then publicly verdicts are announced." Zeng Shengwu looked at the charter and began to think about it. Zeng Shengwu was very interested in these things and seemed to be very serious.
The role of the public trial meeting in uniting people's hearts and calming the morale of the army is introduced in detail later.
At the same time, a small punishment and great commandment was also proposed for other officers who were not found out. Most of them were fined for salary. It was not appropriate to be comforted at this time, but to punish them instead. Because punishment means that the matter has passed. If it is not punished, it will make people worry.
"Don't blame the past!" Zeng Shengwu sighed when he saw the words written by Zhu Yijun himself.
In fact, the entire border army has serious problems. This time, the great purge was only a serious purge, but this will inevitably cause panic and unstable military morale. Through the subsequent small punishment and commandment, the people and the morale of the army have been completely soothed, which is conducive to the subsequent military reform.
Zeng Shengwu put down the chant in his hand and began to think about what to do.
Zhang Cheng and Ma Lu also walked in from outside at this time. The two of them were in a state of dust and seemed to be very tired. However, they were in good spirits. Obviously, the things were done, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on, come and have tea!" Zeng Shengwu stood up with a smile and said loudly.
"Thank you!" Ma Lu bowed, Zhang Cheng on the side was not so polite, sat on the chair, and said with a smile: "But we are so tired that we will leave the rest to Lord Zeng!"
Zeng Shengwu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Eunuch Zhang, no problem."
Internal Affairs Office.
Li Zhongxing, who had been busy all day, was also sitting on a chair to rest, drinking tea every sip. In front of him was also a piece of paper, a piece of paper "About the establishment of Datong Wool Spinning Base".
This thing was also obtained by Li Zhongxing from the emperor, and it records the general idea of establishing a wool spinning base.
Since leaving the capital, Li Zhongxing has been studying this, which can be said to have benefited a lot. In Li Zhongxing's opinion, this is simply a genius idea. If Your Majesty is doing business, he will definitely be the number one businessman in the world.
Of course, Li Zhongxing only dared to think about this idea, and no one can say it.
"Dad, have something to eat!"
Li Xi walked in from outside, holding a dining plate in his hand, with several dishes on it, all of which were the food that Li Zhongxing liked.
Seeing his son come in, Li Zhongxing smiled and said, "Let it go! Have you eaten?"
"The child has eaten!" Li Xi agreed and began to serve Li Zhongxing to eat. He picked up the wine pot and got a glass for Li Zhongxing, and then said, "The child has already burned the flower carvings in Jiangnan. My father used some to relieve the fatigue."
Looking at the pot of wine, Li Zhongxing didn't find it strange. In the northwest trade, wine and tea have always been big names. He picked up the wine glass and drank it. Li Zhongxing smiled and said, "No, very good!"
After drinking, Li Zhongxing was in a good mood and chatted with his son again and went to bed comfortably.
The next morning, Li Zhongxing got up early in the morning with a high spirit. As soon as he had breakfast, the people below came to report that Cao Yuan, the head of the Taxation Department of Xuanda, asked for a visit. Although he didn't deal with the Taxation Department, Li Zhongxing knew that these were difficult things.
Not to mention those people who came out of the inner factory, there is no one in the tax department’s accounting department that is easy to mess with.
Li Zhongxing has heard some rumors about this. It is said that there was a place dedicated to training accounting offices in Wuqing Bo Mansion. That place has existed for more than ten years and there are many masters in it. Now that place has fallen into the hands of His Majesty.
Many of the accounts in this aspect of the Taxation Department come from that place, which is very mysterious, but has extraordinary strength. In fact, Li Zhongxing has also seen that the accounts in the Taxation Department are much stronger than the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
"Ask!" Although I didn't know what the Taxation Department came here to do, Li Zhongxing still had to meet him.
There were many yamen in the court, but not many were personally taken care of by the emperor. His own internal affairs office was one, and the Taxation Department was also one. As for status, Li Zhongxing felt that he was not as good as the Taxation Department.
Cao Yuan is a man in his forties, with a strong figure and a civil servant's uniform on him. He looks awkward no matter how he looks.
With his big pancake face, it makes people feel a little funny, but Li Zhongxing doesn't think so. When he saw Cao Yuan, Li Zhongxing instantly confirmed that Cao Yuan must have come from an internal factory.
"Cao Yuan, the Taxation Department of Xuanda, has met General Manager Li!" Cao Yuan was very polite and said with a smile.
Li Zhongxing nodded, and then said, "Please sit down by Lord Cao!" After the tea was served, Li Zhongxing then spoke, "Where is Lord Cao coming here this time?"
"This time the Xiaguan came here, there was something to discuss with Lord Li!" Cao Yuan's tone was very light, but his words were not light: "What is our tax department doing? I believe Lord Li also knows that I came here this time to discuss tax collection with Lord Li."
have to!
Li Zhongxing knew that there would be no good things when the Taxation Department came. Now someone is in charge of the Taxation Department calling it a debt collection person.
Cao Yuan, however, did not care what Li Zhongxing thought, and continued: "This time, the mutual market and wool mill in Datong City are an opportunity. Our Taxation Department is preparing to implement new commercial taxes here, which is a pilot."
"Of course, Lord Li can rest assured that this is not a tax department that makes a decision. We have submitted a report to the court and received the emperor's imperial edict. Some of this involves the Office of the Internal Affairs and some of it involves the Governor's Office."
Li Zhongxing choked back all his words, and the emperor's imperial edict worked more than anything else.
"Then how does Lord Cao need the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Li Zhongxing said directly.
"It's very simple!" Cao Yuan said with a smile: "Our Taxation Department will implement a business certificate in Datong Prefecture. All merchants who come to Datong City must register a business certificate. Our Taxation Department will take the lead in implementing commercial taxation in these two places."
Li Zhongxing nodded, then spoke, "Okay, is there anything else?"
"It's gone!" Cao Yuan shook his head, and then added: "The rest is also the business of our tax department!"
In fact, both Cao Yuan and Li Zhongxing know that things are definitely not as simple as saying. Of course, I can only say it now, after all, nothing has begun. However, seeing Cao Yuan's smiling big pancake face, Li Zhongxing felt that nothing is good.
"I want to go to the Governor's Office to meet Mr. Zeng and discuss the establishment of a large market and a wool-spinning base." Li Zhongxing looked at Cao Yuan and said, "Do you want to come together?"
"Of course!" Cao Yuan nodded with a smile: "The lower official is going to go to the Governor's Office."
Anyway, the tripartite consultations will be held sooner or later, and Li Zhongxing sincerely invited each other. Seeing that Cao Yuan agreed, he nodded, stood up and walked out.
Governor's Office.
