Chapter 538: Difficulties (Part 1)

Compared with the Manchu powerful people who have been entrenched in the capital for several generations, although the Cao family is not a famous family, it is better than that of the three generations of ancestors and grandchildren who are all close ministers of today's children, which is also a bit important.

The demotion of Cao Yong has attracted many speculations from interested people.

In fact, Cao Yong was twenty-two years old and was already a doctor in the Ministry of War. However, compared with his past resume, this is nothing.

Although Taipu Temple is deserted, the chief official is one of the nine ministers; although the Ministry of War is a place of weight, Cao Yong was demoted to three levels in a row, and he was also a doctor of the ranks of the fourth department. This punishment is really serious.

The four departments of the Ministry of War include the Military Selection and Qualification Department, the Military Selection Department, which is in charge of military officer selection and awarding, the Military Registration Department, the Military Registration Department, which is in charge of military registration, weapons, the Military Registration Department, which is in charge of military registration, the Military Registration Department, which is in charge of the Ma Zheng and Post Office Affairs, and the Office Department which is in charge of the maps of various provinces.

Among the four departments, the Wuxuan Department should be the only one who has great power and sufficient oil.

The Wuxuan Department is the "Ministry of Personnel" in the Ministry of War. Whether the military officers leave or enter Beijing, the management here is absolutely indispensable. From the chief officer to the chief officer below, the pen-and-spoke style, the ice and charcoal ceremony I receive every year, don’t respect countless times.

Secondly, the Arsenal Department is also good. There are many twists and turns in it, including weapons collection, Xu Army and other things.

The lightest thing is the rank of the official department, but it is just a matter of going to the yamen to order tea and spending time. It is common for you to have no errands for ten days and a half months. Although it is good and good, the Wuxuan Department and the Arsenal Department are both jealous, and no one has to take the blame for the superiors. It is better to be worry-free.

The Chejia Department does not occupy both ends, and there is no oil or water, and there are many trivial matters.

In name, this is in charge of the national horse politics, but the so-called national horse politics refers to the Eight Banners Ranch. The Eight Banners Ranch has the governors of each banner and the deputy governors. How can we talk to the chariot and drivers?

However, since it has a name, the assessment of the ranch and the number of livestock statistics will still be attributed to the chariot and drivers department.

For example, the Mongolian snow disaster last winter and this spring caused serious losses to the livestock on the ranch. The officials of the Chejia Department went to the ranch to count the livestock on each ranch.

The livestock in Taipu Temple ranch died in 30%, and all four chief officials were punished. The Eight Banners ranch lost half of the losses, and the Ministry of War was also implicated. Two ministers of the Ministry of War were fined, and the Minister of War was demoted and retained. The Minister of the Chejia Department was dismissed from office and was punished.

At the beginning of his tenure, Cao Yong went to see several officials and then returned to the Chess and Drivers' Office.

Looking at Nalan Chengping, who was with other officials in front of him and giving him a gift with him in a pen style, Cao Yong smiled, but he thought that he couldn't help but think of a sentence in his heart, "Don't keep what should be kept, and don't leave what should be left."

The former Yuanwailang, who was implicated in the pasture, was a disciple of the King of Ping County, Neersu. Now, the replacement is Nalan Chengping, who made contributions to counting the number of dead livestock on the pasture.

In his early years, Nalan Chengping spoke to people and talked to ghosts. Balabala was a guy who likes to show off, with a bit of a playboy. Now he has less laughter and a solemn expression. He suddenly realized the two of them in a steady state.

Although he was respectful and well-polite, he could not hide his resentment when he occasionally looked at Cao Yong.

Cao Yong felt it was troublesome when he came here to work. When he saw Nalan Chengping's expression, he felt even more trouble.

The 14th Prince recommended him to come to the Ministry of War to win him over?

Cao Yong couldn't help but sneer in his heart. If the Fourteenth Prince was really a tolerant person, he would not have ridiculed him for the initial grudge between Cao Yong and the children of the Inlaid Yellow Banner.

The Fourteenth Prince is not a child either, so he should know Kangxi’s taboos.

If it were not for Kangxi's instructions, it would only backfire.

The Fourteenth Prince did this just to pull Cao Yong to his side.

Whether you want to pick the wrong points, or restrain Cao Yin, or make peace for the time being, you can take the initiative. Besides, bluffing and showing other princes can also be considered as making enemies for the Cao family.

After analyzing, Cao Yin, Mr. Zhuang, and Cao Yong already knew it, but there was no other way.

After all, the imperial edict was issued, so Cao Yong had to take the order to go to the Ministry of War. Fortunately, among the ministers of the Ministry of War, there was also the Prince of Ping County, Nersu, who was somewhat responsible for it.

If the 14th Prince is a smart person, he should have some concerns and stop the battle and save the loss from the loss.

When Cao Yong thought of this, his heart gradually calmed down. Since he came, he would be at peace.

So what if the Ministry of War is in charge? With his friendship with the Thirteenth Prince, will the Fourth Prince misunderstand that he is the "Fourth Party"?

If that is true, I am afraid that there will be no clean people in the court.

The princes who are going to fight for the throne are in charge of department affairs. Can the fourth prince still deal with all the officials of the six ministries?

A errand is just a errand. As long as you do it yourself, even if others want to pick the blame in the eggs, they will not be able to go there.

Cao Yong reached out to grab the official document and began to get familiar with his new errands.

Do things steadily and be honest. With your ears and close your mouth. There are no other advantages. Cao Yong is confident that he can do the four words "be careful in words and actions".

When he first came, he spent most of his time understanding the distribution of the Eight Banners Ranches and post roads in various provinces.

Looking at the number of livestock in the pasture that Nalan Chengping had summarized with people a few days ago, Cao Yong couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

Although he was half a colleague, he heard the news and knew that the accounts on the Eight Banners Ranch were chaotic, and the actual number of livestock was far less than the number of livestock in the accounts. However, because this was related to the Eight Banners' powerful people, although everyone knew it well, no one dared to reveal it.

Nalan Chengping, the sixth-rank chief, dared to repay the truth. Who gave him the courage?

It is not easy to flatten the empty livestock accounts by taking advantage of the heavy snow disaster. This ranch rule is that even if the livestock is killed, they must be peeled and the livestock will be stored.

In addition to horses, there are also tens of thousands of cattle, hundreds of thousands of sheep, and hundreds of thousands of livestock in the Eight Banners Ranch.

Even if it is falsely reported 10%, it is still a gap for tens of thousands of animals, but it is more than just 10% of the false reports?

People are greedy. In the face of money, who would have thought about what would happen if there was a war and the court was out of power?

Since the 36th year of Kangxi, the emperor personally queued the Galdan rebellion, the world has been peaceful for nearly twenty years.

In the eyes of the Eight Banners and the powerful people, now that the four directions are pacified, it is the "peaceful and prosperous era", and the years of war are gone forever.

On the other side of the ranch, after years of adulthood, there were no half of the animals reported, but three to four percent.

There was someone behind Nalan Chengping. When Cao Yong thought of this, he felt a little more wary, but there was nothing to be afraid of.

The Eight Banners Ranch is different. The ranch of each flag is at the same level and does not belong to each other. It is not something that one person or two people can do.

If you are in charge of the whole world, there will always be clues when you are involved. By tracing the root cause, you can find out which person is the one who is the one who is behind the scenes.

It is now the fifty-fourth year of Kangxi. In another two or three years, the fourteenth prince will be expeditioning the west. If there is not enough military and horses, then isn’t a war a joke?

When Cao Yong thought about this, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Could it be that I misunderstood the Fourteenth Prince. The Fourteenth Prince wanted to recommend himself for the sake of the horse?

A few days ago, Cao Yong invited several other chief officials from Taipu Temple to jointly submit a note about "forage reserve" and "captive feeding".

The 14th Prince said while talking and laughing, that it was only after reading the memorial that Cao Yong had extraordinary talents and was of great use to the country and the people...

The 14th Prince, who was devoted to the country and the 14th Prince, who was narrow-minded, caressed his Guang's forehead and felt that he was a little taken for granted.

Although you have to seek good fortune and avoid bad luck, you should not be too self-righteous.

Beware of the precautions, and beware of the precautions. If you need to "confessions", you have to "confessions". Otherwise, you have done your own part, and if outsiders seem to have helped the 14th Prince, then who can guarantee that the Fourth Prince will not doubt him?

It seems that I have to go to the Thirteenth Prince and talk about the foreign goods shop by the way.

After arriving until the yamen fell, Cao Yong left the yamen and saw Zhao Feng, the close attendant beside the 16th prince, standing not far away and talking to Xiaoman.

Seeing Cao Yong come out, Zhao Feng came up, beat Qian'er, and said, "Master Cao, our master is looking for Master Cao. There are many people here, and we are waiting at the entrance of Qiantou Hutong."

Although he didn't know what the Sixteenth Prince was looking for, it was rare for him to leave the palace, and Cao Yong's face also looked like he smiled a little.

When they met, the sixteenth prince looked at Cao Yong up and down, his eyes fell on his white squid refurbishment, and asked with a smile: "Start from the fifth grade again, but it's easy. How about this day's effort?"

Cao Yong smiled bitterly and said, "It's quite reasonable. Although it's a bit more complicated, it's a rule to follow." He asked, "Sixteenth Master is looking for me, is there anything wrong?"

The Sixteenth Prince blew his sleeves and said, "Isn't it because of the foreign goods shop of Thirteenth Brother? Let's go to Thirteenth Brother's mansion and chat while walking."

The Thirteenth Prince's foreign goods shop is already packing up, and the goods from Guangzhou have arrived. He is well-informed and has already received the news.

Now the Sixteenth Prince is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Even if the royal merchants have objections to this, they will not cause trouble.

Cao Yong also took care of the Sixteenth Prince's side and did not want him to be too embarrassed. When asked Wei Xin to buy foreign goods, he also tried to avoid a few big heads.

Whether it is Western or Eastern objects, it is just a rare thing. Even if Wei Xin avoids the big heads of furs, medicinal materials, and clocks, those royal merchants still have operations on groceries.

Those imperial merchants were afraid that the Thirteenth Prince would take the opportunity to buy and sell several big foreign goods. Even if the Thirteenth Prince did not have a title, he was a prince after all, and had a noble status.

Although they have a master and backing behind them, if they really make trouble due to business, they will not be able to make any profit.

Shang is a "lowly karma". Even if it is in front of the imperial court, it will be a big forty-year-old leader and will be shameless.

People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden.

After checking the news with Guangzhou, I learned that the Thirteenth Prince's business had avoided the main business of several imperial merchants, and everyone was greedy for the prince and prince, and their fear of the prince was reduced a lot.

Although the Thirteenth Prince was not encircled, he was not awarded a title. He was just treated as an idle royal family. He has always been kept in a closed door, so what's so scary?

They urged and muttered endlessly in front of the Sixteenth Prince.

Although the Sixteenth Prince would not take them seriously, he was somewhat afraid of the masters behind them.

Now looking for Cao Yong, the Sixteenth Prince was discussing with him, wanting to participate in 10% of the shares in this transaction. This is not because he is greedy for money. He has not yet divided his house, and his food, clothing and expenses are all provided by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and there is no shortage of money.

It’s just that it’s a waste of trouble. It’s better to take charge of the county magistrate now. With the shares of the Sixteenth Prince, even the Iron Hat Prince should avoid his edge.

Otherwise, the Sixteenth Prince is in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and it is easy to come back if he wants to return it.

Cao Yong naturally had no objection. When he was thinking about foreign goods, he thought about the sixteenth prince and the seventeenth prince.

However, if the noise was too big, I was afraid that Kangxi would think too much, Cao Yong would not have any trouble. He had already said hello to the Sixteenth Prince.

The Sixteenth Prince knew that the Thirteenth Prince was struggling to live, so he naturally supported it. Now he took the initiative to join in order to protect the Thirteenth Prince.

After the two of them said this, they felt a little uncomfortable.

As a prince, when the thirteenth prince was favored by the emperor in his early years, the governor and the prince had to bend over and flatter. Now he is in a down-and-out manner, even the powerful slaves dare to step on.

The warmth and coldness of human feelings, the coldness of the world.

Even the people who were watching were sad for the Thirteenth Prince, and the Thirteenth Prince himself would not feel good.
