The nearly ten days Jia Huan went to Yangzhou was mainly written for the Huaiyang Governor Sha Sheng and guided the disaster relief strategy, and the Tiaochen.

During the flood in the ninth year of Yongzhi, Sha Sheng witnessed the final moment and the subsequent reconstruction of Dongzhuang Town. Therefore, Master He was sent to invite Jia Huan to Huainan for disaster relief.

Jia Huan wrote down the disaster relief strategy and documented it, and then explained it clearly, and then completed his task.

This is different from the time I was in the academy. The area of ​​the disaster was wider, but at the same time, it had yamen at all levels of the court participating in disaster relief. Jia Huan didn't need to do it himself, and there were many officials in the yamen who could do things.

If he really wanted to go to the front line of disaster relief and command and do things, it would only mean one problem. The officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty was completely ruined from the root. Before the disaster, the most basic administrative orders could not be issued, and it would be not far from losing power. Obviously, the situation has not reached this point.

The imperial court ordered Jinling to supply grain. This is what the title should be said. The taxes in the Jiangnan region of the State were paid in Nanjing and then transported from the canal to the capital to avoid the evil policy of letting grain transport grain to the capital in the past Ming Dynasty.

There is money and grain storage here in Jinling. It is managed by the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue. The communication between Huaiyang Governor Sha Sheng and Nanjing Minister of Revenue Wei Hong was made by Sha Sheng's confidant aide, Shi Ye He. Jia Huan didn't care about this matter.

Wei Hong, the Minister of Revenue, invited Jia Huan to participate in the coordination of disaster relief money and food, and he was interested in Jia Huan's power and wisdom. His son and grandson praised Jia Huan in his letters to him. He also witnessed Jia Huan's ability in his own eyes in the Courtesan Competition.

As a senior official who once served as a governor, how to employ people is a basic ability. He is also willing to trust and treat talented people with courtesy. Even if Jia Huan is only twelve years old now.

Therefore, when Jia Huan came back from Yangzhou, he still had the task of planning for Secretary Wei.

From Jia Huan's personal perspective, he did not feel that he should be honored or something if he served the Secretary of State. In terms of power, the governor Shuntian, the governor of the Left Deputy Censor, and the governor of Mr. Sha, were all more important than the Secretary of State Wei.

Jia Huan has always been very purposeful in doing things. His four major purposes for coming to Jiangnan: studying, retreating, suppressing Jia Yucun, and splitting the Zhen family. Two items have been completed so far. When the Enke Examination is likely to be held next spring, he is unwilling to waste his time in the shogunate of Shangshu Wei. Relief is the government's responsibility, not his responsibility.

Of course, going to Yangzhou to help Mr. Sha’s plan is because he and Mr. Sha have a teacher-student relationship.

However, Secretary Wei was invited by the mountain leader to handle the matter of transferring grain and disaster relief. The mountain leader was compassionate and had the humanistic feelings of a Confucian scholar. Huainan became a country in the water, and the mountain leader felt emotion in his heart, so he asked him to assist Secretary Wei.

Jia Huan rubbed his eyebrows gently and thought in his mind.

Dare you? This is a very strong "stimulating plan". However, he is not a three-year-old child. When his forehead is hot, he will face the Chen family, the leader of the civil servant in Jinling.

Wei Hong did not check the corruption in the grain warehouse at this moment, it was clear that the overall situation was put first, transporting grain first to save disasters, and then settle accounts after autumn.

What's the use of newspapers to incite public opinion to attack the Chen family? If the Chen family does not lower the price of rice, will there be anyone who dares to smash and loot? There is no disaster in Jinling City.

"Wei Situ wants to use the power of public opinion to force the food price and the Chen family?"

"Not bad. When the Chen family's shameless words are booming, I will write to the court."

Wei Hong is fifty-eight years old this year. He is slightly fat and looks a little old. He is wearing light gray casual clothes at home. Before he came to Nanjing, he served as the governor of the mountain - Xi. He seems kind, but occasionally the majesty of a rank-in officials is revealed.

At this time, he was talking privately in the study. Wei Hong was moved out of his mood, his face was a little angry, and he said bluntly: "Ziyu doesn't have to speculate in his heart, I also have selfish thoughts. Chen Gaolang is useless to be a scholar. When Huainan was in a terrible state, he actually allowed his family to make money in the country. Damn, he read all the books to the dog.

The wealth of being an official for thousands of miles. I have never dared to call myself a clean official for decades. I have also used power and tricks. But as a person and an official, you must have a bottom line. Small details can lead to losses, while big details cannot lead to losses. If there is no principle, what is different from animals? You must know that history is dazzling and historical writing is like a knife!"

Jia Huan was moved slightly.

He could not judge whether the words said by an old bureaucrat, whether they were true or performed. Someone once commented on Liu Bei in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, and Liu Bei played benevolence and righteousness for a lifetime. What is the difference between fake and real?

At this time, Jia Huan also had this feeling. If Wei Hong maintained the point he said, he would definitely be able to reach the position of the cabinet minister.

Whether in the business world or in the officialdom, a person who only knows how to raise his hands or stands up without principles or raises his hands will not go far. The principle that a person adheres to is his personal charm, which will lead to followers.

Jia Huan was well aware of the truth. In his previous life, a poor student was able to climb to a middle-level position in a large company because of this. He needed to have a group of followers. Why do others follow you? The bond of interests is necessary, but it is also very weak. Only a team that relies on personal charm to gather is a strong general. This is very obvious in successful large companies. For example, Alibaba's founding team and Jack Ma.

Jia Huan felt a little fond of Wei Hong.

Perhaps, it is Wei Hong, the ability to make Jia Huan feel good in such a short time!

Wei Hong took a sip of tea, took a breath, and then said, "Ziyu, you must know that corruption and abuse of power have nothing to do with the evaluation of historical books. A clean official does not equal a good official. A powerful official does not equal a treacherous official. Yang Tinghe, the former chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, was a powerful official, and above the historical books, the evaluation was a virtuous minister. Xu Jie, whose family was the largest landlord in Songjiang Prefecture, how could he not be able to be violating the law? He was also a virtuous minister. Zhang Juzheng, who was powerful and had his own power. So what was his evaluation? A virtuous prime minister of the Ming Dynasty!

Why? In his position, we must plan our politics. As the chief minister, we must make the national treasury full, the administration is clear and the society is stable, and the common people live and work in peace. It is beneficial to the country. Even if there are losses in personal private festivals, we can face the comments of future generations calmly."

These words mean something to be taught. They are very sincere. This is the principle of being an official.

Jia Huan's knowledge is naturally not a twelve-year-old boy, and he has a deep understanding of these things.

Wei Hong looked at the young man sitting upright and suddenly laughed, "Ziyu's age is similar to Yang Wenzhong!"

Jia Huan smiled bitterly and said modestly: "The student name is on the list of Guizhou, so Mr. Xie Fang wants to resist the public opinion."

If he is now, his achievements on the road to the imperial examination, he would have a template. That is, Yang Tinghe, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. In the seventh year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty, Yang Tinghe passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve. He was younger than Yang Tinghe.

Yang Shoufu spent four dynasties, and in the seventh year of Zhengde, he took charge of the center of the Ming Empire and was in power all over the world. Emperor Jiajing succeeded to the throne. Historical books were highly praised: he was born with such a man and was the responsibility of a master. There was also Yang Shen, the son of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty. He was a model of civil officials.

He is twelve years old, and he is similar to Yang Tinghe, which is a bit of a hit! It is under a lot of pressure.

Wei Hong waved his hand with a smile, "Mr. Wangxi's eyes are keen to recognize talents." As he said that, he glanced at Jia Huan. Jia Huan had not answered his question yet.

Wei Hong first played the emotional card, and then praised Jia Huan like this. The atmosphere in the study was very good and very harmonious.

Every senior official has his own excellence.

Jia Huan said nothing.

He was already over the age of being moved by praise and feelings. He published articles attacking the Chen family in the Jinling Brief of the Imperial College. Secretary Wei would benefit. First, he would suppress the price of grain and complete the current task. This would inevitably leave the emperor with the impression of a capable minister. Second, there are two possibilities for promotion. First, Chen Gaolang stepped down in a series of political struggles and Secretary Wei took over. Second, Chen Gaolang escaped safely, and Secretary Wei was promoted to another position with his merits.

However, he can't be the vanguard just for his feelings, right? He was completely fooled by Shangshu Wei to charge for him.

He wouldn't do this!

Wei Hong paused for a very short time, his eyes swept across Jia Huan's silent face, he smiled slightly, and said, "I received a letter from Grand Secretary Liu not long ago. He Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites is about to retire, and the emperor intends to let Mr. Wangxi succeed him. The ordering teacher Zhang Boyu presided over the reform of the Imperial College in Nanjing as the Minister of Rites, and it has begun to show results. I believe that the emperor will not be stingy with the position of Shangshu."

Jia Huan has a lot of teachers. But when it comes to his teacher, the first reaction from outsiders is the mountain leader Zhang Anbo.

Jia Huan nodded and picked up a teacup to drink tea. He heard Wang Ziteng talk about the things that the Wei family had had with Liu Feibai, a great minister of the Wenhua Palace.

Wei Hong said again: "The country has a system of success. Ziyu is here to help me. After the disaster relief is over, you will be indispensable to the list of meritorious officials. However, at Ziyu's age, I'm afraid you will have to wait until you enter the officialdom to reiterate your merits."

Scholars and other scholars help the court to do things. The merits will be recorded on the record. When entering the officialdom, they will be promoted according to the merits.

Jia Huan thought about it in his heart, stood up and said, "Students will go back and arrange it now."

Wei Hong nodded and arranged for his servant to send Jia Huan back to He'an Street. Under the candlelight, he smiled and shook his head. He didn't show off the rabbit and didn't show off the eagle! The boy's nature is really stable.

Maybe he can really reach a high position like Yang Tinghe, the former Ming Dynasty in the future.

…

On the first day of August, the newly released Jinling Brief was distributed to various parts of Jinling City in Chaoyang. Today, the circulation of Jinling Brief has reached 20,000 copies. It has become the overlord of dozens of newspapers in Jiangnan.

In restaurants, food shops, teahouses, docks, brothels, countless people reading newspapers are watching Jia Huan's handwritten articles published on the front page of the Jinling Brief, "It's not easy to eat, why are the food prices so high? Who are the bad-hearted merchants?"

In the article, Jia Huan strongly criticized the grain merchants for taking the opportunity to raise prices. He also listed all the owners behind the rice shop. Citizens in Jinling City suddenly discovered that 50% of the good families who were selling porridge outside the city were the owners behind the grain shop. Especially in the Chen family, who had a good stroke in Jinling City, they were actually the culprit for the price increase in grain.

It's really bloody.

"Bastard!" In the morning, in Chen's mansion, Chen Gaolang slapped the newspaper on the square table, "How come such an important news is sent here now? What did Wen You eat!" His attitude was like a storm.

Chen Zizhen and Butler Liu lowered their heads and silently endured Chen Gaolang's anger. (To be continued.)
