Chapter 100: Accumulated Disadvantages of Salt (1)
In Wuchang, Hubei, Gong Yu looked through the Beijing News that he had recently brought back by the break. Gong Yu was from Qingjiang, Jiangsu, with his courtesy name Xiangfu and his pseudonym Yuefang. He was a Jinshi in the 22nd year of Jiaqing, and was considered an old senior in the imperial examination. He served as the Censor of Zhili and the Governor of Shanxi. He was transferred to Hubei last year.
Judging from the contents of the Beijing News, the Beijing-China and North Korean Bureau have been in a turbulent situation recently. The Ministry of Revenue Bank bank burglary case has trapped a military chief and a minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which has caused a stir. "There is nothing to be solved in the near future."
Putting the Beijing News aside, Gong Yu stood up thoughtfully, walked outward, walked through the courtyard of the government office, and entered the signing room at the second door: "Sir?"
"Oh, I'll come and have a look. Zhongliang?"
"Student is here." Liu Bingzhang, who was writing hard in front of the desk, put down his pen and raised his head: "Oh? Are you here?"
“Have you written it?”
"I've written it, please read it."
Liu Bingzhang is from Lujiang County, with his courtesy name Zhongliang. He is 25 years old. He has been studying since childhood, but has failed many exams. He has been a scholar. When Gong Yu was the governor of Anhui the year before, he invited him to his side and became a Qingke in charge of official documents in the government office. This time, Gong Yu asked him to draft a memorial on the robbery case of the Ministry of Revenue.
Gong Yu took the memorial and studied it carefully. Liu Bingzhang's memorial was written as follows: "...I think that the case of the burglary of the Ministry of Revenue Bank has gradually come and the time comes. It is actually the result of the collusion between the officials in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and a group of archivists! The story in the capital: archivist was originally a rough official, and he received the court's salary and rice per month, and he lived a luxurious life, which was better than the king and prince. Why?"
"In the choice of Kuding, each member must hire several bodyguards to take safety on the day when the date is approaching. The various disadvantages are confirmed that Kuding's battle is a source of benefits. Those who are afraid of being tied up by others and miss the date of the dot, the previous period will be lost and all the money will be lost!"
"I was in Hubei and received a report from the Beijing residence, saying that the Ministry of Justice and Officials found that the Kuding family's property was no less than tens of thousands of taels, and there were large beads and pearl bracelets and other items. I think these people are just small officials, even if they have orders to find them, how could they be so abundant?"
"So, I think that the tens of thousands of privately stored they usually carry are not just this, but should pay the Ministry of Youshi and carefully follow it to achieve the full success of the battle."
The next paragraph is to make suggestions on what Sai Shanga and Weng had. Unlike many Qingliu intends to take this opportunity to attack Sai Shanga, in Liu Bingzhang's memorial, his attitude was unexpectedly alleviated: "I think that even if the old ministers of Sai Shanga were occasionally injustice, they would be missed; they were busy during the day, and the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue were not coordinated and difficult to coordinate. It is not appropriate to resolutely replace the military aircraft of the Chief Secretary when this incident broke out, which caused the government and the country to be shaken."
"As for the fact that Weng is in his heart, he is a scholar. He is not a place where the country is governed by the country. His wise and powerful emperor has long had a great view of the silent movement of the Qiangang in this section, and this is not something that the ministers can say."
When Gong Yu saw the bottom of the book he wrote, he smiled with satisfaction: "The word "reckless replacement" is used very well. I think not only Sai Heting wants to thank you for your help, but also the emperor should also praise it for the warning and praise it? Brother Zhongliang is indeed a talented person!"
Liu Bingzhang was praised by Master Ju Ting, and his face seemed to have gold flying: "My lord is so serious. The student is just taking this opportunity to present the emperor's pre-sentation of the unspoken words."
Gong Yu nodded: "That's all." He said: "The leader of the military aircraft of the bannermen is the unchanging method of our dynasty. Last year, the emperor cut off Mu Xiang in one fell swoop and Chen Xiang's military aircraft had already caused shock to the government and the people. If we take this opportunity to withdraw Sai Heting, we will not say anything, but among the people, there will be people like Kang Yan who will write a letter. Instead of waiting until then, it is better to sell a big favor to him now."
"Adults just now said that students are very talented. In fact, the talents of adults are so admirable that students are impressed! Students are also thinking about this."
Gong Yu smiled and closed the note and put it in his arms: "I can submit this note after I copy it."
The two of them were talking, and one of the doors of the enforced house was in front of the government office, and a man with a pheasant dressed in a garment followed behind and saw Gong Yu also, the person who came hurriedly asked her to come and said, "Please beg you, sir."
"Is it Xinjie? Get up, get up and talk."
The visitor was Lao Chongguang, the governor of Hubei. He was from Shanhua, Hunan and a Jinshi in the 12th year of Daoguang. It was the 29th year of Daoguang that he was selected as a governor of Hubei in the 29th year of Daoguang. It was a few years earlier than Gong Yu. This time he arrived at the prefecture for the transportation of the canal.
"I report to my master, all the grains that are required to ship in this province are ready to stop. After the shipment in Hankou is completed, you can set off immediately when the Jiangning Shipping Bureau has a bill of lading."
"Okay, okay, okay. The water transportation is going well, and I can feel at ease." Gong Yu looked at Lao Chongguang with satisfaction, with an appreciation in his expression: "Everything depends on Brother Xinjie."
"I dare not. I am just doing my duty to fulfill my duties." Lao Chongguang naturally wanted to be polite. Then he said: "Sir, the new king succeeded to the throne last year. Lord Liangjianglu submitted a memorial, and mentioned two things in it. The first is the fire reform of the canal transportation in the past year; there is still one section, which is the Salt Administration."
"It's well known that this matter is why Brother Xin Jie remembered it?"
"I am thinking that the matter of grain transportation in the province has just begun to show, so there is no need to worry. Why not take this opportunity to drive the salt administration affairs in our province before Lord Lu takes action and make the next step in the rectification?"
Gong Yu was stunned: "Brother Xin Jie means to put the salt administration reform into practice before Lord Lu?" He asked in confusion: "After talking about it, it is probably very unpleasant to rob the credit of his colleagues of this kind and spread it out!"
"This cannot be considered as stealing his credit, right? After all, the two rivers are far away from our province and there is no boundary between them. Lord Lu has his own jurisdiction, and the adults have their own subordinates, so they can be said to be made by each. How can it be considered as stealing his credit?"
Gong Yu nodded in a slight manner: "That's what you say, but..." After thinking about it carefully, I always feel that there is an ineffective feeling: "Brother Lao, although your words are right, but, I..."
"If the adult insists on not wanting it, then let it go." Lao Chongguang was also able to take it up and let it go: "It's all right to think that Chongguang is joking with the adult, that's it."
***************
Although he refused Lao Chongguang's proposal to reorganize salt administration in the province, Gong Yu could not let go of this matter. He knew that the master knew that he had to do something bad in his heart and strength. He made some fussy and flashy activities, and in the end he could only defeat himself. Just like a memorial soon after Yutai opened the yamen at the beginning of the year, it mentioned that when the British entered the capital, he should follow the example of Emperor Gaozong's predecessor, show his demeanor of the heavenly dynasty, and avoid the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping.
The emperor didn't say much, but just handed it to the Military Affairs Office to discuss it together. Therefore, the remark was violently refuted by Qingliu: "As the governor of Huguang and a magistrate of the border, Yutai did not know how to share the worries of the king, and did not know how to appease the billions of common people. He made paradoxical remarks about the British entering the capital!"
"Is the diplomatic relations between the two countries easy? Even if my emperor is wise and powerful, he dare not make a decision easily, but he handed over this matter to the public discussion. Yutai made a ban on a province and made a statement easily, and placed his colleagues in the court and the emperor in ignoring it. He really didn't know how nervous he was?"
The censor repeatedly wrote a letter to refute Yutai to dust. The emperor knew that everyone was attacking Yutai on the surface but was actually targeting him, but he had to express his attitude. However, the words in the edict had to ease a lot: "... At the beginning of the year, Yutai, the governor of Huguang, submitted a memorial, and said many remarks about the British Yi's entry into the capital. Although there were occasional inappropriateness, he was still loving the king. Moreover, I never blamed the person for saying a word. I would throw Yutai back, so I don't need to discuss this."
