To be honest, when a gang has grown to the size of the Cao Gang, as long as it keeps a low profile and doesn't cause trouble, there are very few people in the Cao Gang who can move! Even if they are nobles, most of the Cao Gang are not afraid!
But the bad thing is that Caobang's luck may not be very good. All they meet are people like Jia Jing and Li Gou, and these two happen to be among the group they can't afford to offend...
…
Li Gou dare not say that he can kick the Caobang out of the entire Great Yan water transport, but at least let the Caobang give up the dock of Shenjing City. The Caobang can only obey orders! There is no room for compromise!
And Li Gou can't go anywhere. At most, he will lose the favor of the Cao Gang. And for Li Gou now, is the favor of the Cao Gang important? The important thing is the big plan! If the big plan is successful, who is from the Cao Gang and the Luo Gang?
Dare to explode in front of you?
After the monk's analysis, Li Gou roughly understood the pros and cons, so Li Gou also made up his mind, slapped the table and said: "Okay! Then follow what the master said! You can go back and tell Luo Gang now.
Gang leader Weng, just say that I have agreed to this matter! The results will be announced in the near future, just ask him to wait and take someone to take over the dock of Shenjing City!"
After hearing this, the man quickly agreed and was about to leave, but the monk stopped him and said: "I also want to tell the leader of the Weng clan that it was our Prince Yi Zhong's palace who fought for him against the threat of the Cao clan. He must be grateful! This matter
After what happened, your Luo Gang will become one of the largest gangs in the capital, but don’t forget to take care of us!"
The man promised to write it down, and the monk waved him to go. Li Gou said excitedly: "Master, everything is ready now. All we need is the east wind!" The old monk clasped his hands together and said: "That's good, that's good. This is God's help."
Your Majesty, it is also the will of my Buddha to attack the unjust."
Li Gou also prayed devoutly with his hands together. The old monk smiled and said: "Your Majesty can directly write to those people and say that you want to have a hand in the capital dock. Those people will definitely fulfill your wish."
What the old monk said was that Li Gou could write directly to the officials who had been leading Li Gou, saying that he wanted to get rid of the Cao Gang to monopolize Shenjing water transportation and make money at the dock. If it was just to make money, basically these
The officials will not embarrass Li Gou and will handle it for him soon.
Li Gou obviously thought so, so he quickly smiled and said: "I will ask them to do it in a while, but..." Li Gou said to the old monk with some embarrassment: "Master, when are we going to do it?"
The old monk smiled and said, "My lord, are you impatient?" Li Gou gritted his teeth and said, "I think about this every day and every night! Now that I can finally realize my long-cherished wish, how can I not be impatient?"
The old monk smiled and proclaimed the Buddha's name, and then said with a smile: "It's not yet time, Your Majesty, please be patient!" Li Gou frowned tightly for a long time, and then smiled bitterly: "How long do you have to wait? Master, you have to wait.
Give me some mental preparation."
The old monk opened his eyes and looked outside the pavilion, his white eyebrows furrowed, and after a long time he said in a deep voice: "Has the prince noticed that it seems to be raining harder than the past few days?" Li Gou was a little surprised when he heard this.
His thoughts jumped too much, but he still looked outside the pavilion, then nodded and said: "What you said is true, it is indeed bigger than the previous few days! If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have noticed it!
"
The old monk proclaimed the Buddha's name, and then said softly: "If you want to achieve great things, the right time, right place, right people, and the right people are indispensable! At this time, the prince only occupied a little bit of the right people and people!" Li Gou was stunned when he heard the words, and the old monk's eyes flashed.
He glanced at the outside of the pavilion and said: "We are just waiting for the right time and place..."
Shangguan Yi was woken up late at night by his hurried family members. He couldn't help but put on his clothes in confusion and said: "What's wrong?" The old housekeeper also said helplessly: "Master Zhang Gong Zhang from the Ministry of Revenue has arrived and said that he has something urgent to see you.
"
Shangguan Yi couldn't help but feel a little confused, but still nodded and said: "I understand." Then she put on her clothes and prepared to go out. Seeing this, Mrs. Shangguan couldn't help but asked worriedly: "What happened outside again?"
Shangguan Yi sighed and said: "Who knows, in short it won't be a good thing. Okay, it's late at night and the frost is heavy, so don't get up." After saying that, he stopped Mrs. Shangguan who wanted to get up and help Shangguan Yi get dressed.
He put on his clothes neatly and said, "You go to bed first."
Mrs. Shangguan couldn't help but sighed and said: "I don't know how long I will be busy. How can I be like this? What kind of official business can't be discussed until tomorrow?" Shangguan Yi smiled bitterly after hearing this, opened the door and looked at the pouring water outside.
It was raining heavily, and I couldn't help but sigh: "It's been such a troubled year..."
Then he closed the door and told Mrs. Shangguan not to wait for him, just go to bed first, and then he walked along the eaves of the corridor towards the hall with a lantern, and saw that Zhang Gong was in the hall like a mess on a hot pot.
change.
After seeing Shangguan Yi, Zhang Gong immediately seemed to have been saved, and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Chief Assistant, something big happened!" Shangguan Yi couldn't help being stunned and said: "Zijing, what's wrong with you? What big thing happened to you?
Are you in such a hurry? Don't be in a hurry and speak slowly. Sit down and have a bowl of hot tea first."
Hearing this, Zhang Gong stamped his feet and said, "Oh! My Lord Chief Assistant! How can I still think about drinking tea? I'm almost dying of anxiety now!" Shangguan Yi knew that Zhang Gong didn't have such an impatient personality, so she sat down with some doubts and said
:"What exactly is going on?"
Zhang Gong sat next to Shangguan Yi and looked around, then gritted his teeth and whispered: "This time the rain in Zhili, Henan is about to cause a disaster. A few days ago, I ordered my subordinates to investigate the disaster situation in each province and the grain prepared by each prefecture and county.
Reserve, everything was fine originally…………”
Shangguan Yi looked at Zhang Gong, who gritted his teeth and said: "I specially sent out two waves of people, one in the open and one in the dark. Officials on the surface reported that the grain storage in each prefecture and county was normal and they could survive the disaster.
Years, but the people in the dark reported back and said, but said..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Gong said angrily: "But they say that the grain reserves in most counties in Zhili, Henan are not enough for disaster relief! Some counties have even not stored grain for decades.
!But the annual tax revenue and grain reserves of our household department are all full! Full!
"
Shangguan Yi was not surprised when he heard this, but Zhang Gong stood up angrily and cursed: "These rats! Rats! I can't wait to skin them and rip them into pieces!"
"
"Boom!"
There was a thunder outside the window, and Shangguan Yi said calmly: "Okay, don't be angry, what's the use of being angry? Sit down and talk slowly." Zhang Gong sat back angrily after hearing this, but Shangguan Yi didn't change his expression at all.
.
The reason is that a long time ago, Shangguan Yi, even Yongxi Emperor Jia Jing and many people, had predicted that there might be major problems with the grain reserves of various prefectures and counties in Henan!
Even Zhang Gong himself had only had illusions before that. In fact, he himself had already guessed that with the urine of those officials, the food reserve would probably not achieve the expected results.
But what he didn't expect was that it was not that it failed to achieve the desired effect. It taught him a hard lesson! The name of the lesson was: Dogs Can't Change Eating Shit and How to Make Bi Mawen Guard Pan Taoyuan Honestly.
How to prevent a mouse from eating a grain of rice by throwing it into a rice vat!
According to the laws of Dayan, each prefecture and county must have a certain amount of grain reserves every year, so that in the event of such natural disasters, the local government can organize relief before the central disaster relief arrives, so that too many people will not die.
If the grain reserves of each prefecture and county do not reach a certain share that year, the imperial court will also allocate funds for the prefecture and county to purchase grain from other wealthy individuals or other prefectures, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will also register it.
When Zhang Gong was in Yuqing, Henan, his only hope was that there would be some leftover relief grain. He opened the records of the Ministry of Household Affairs and found that the grain reserves were sufficient almost every year! He thought that even if it was greed, there would always be a surplus.
You have to have some left over for the inspection, right?
He still had such a good idea of the appearance of these officials! Some prefectures and counties had never reserved grain reserves for more than ten years! But how could he be so bold and deceived the superiors and subordinates so that the annual reports were sufficient?
!
Where have the grain reserves gone for more than ten years? These grain reserves have neither been taxed nor stored in warehouses. You can think of where these grains have gone if you think about it with your kneecaps!
Zhang Gong suddenly collapsed on his seat after being furious for a long time, and said to Shangguan Yi tiredly: "Ming Gong, it's time to reach the end of the rope. Gong, try your best!"
Shangguan Yi heard what Zhang Gong meant, so he quickly said: "It's still early, don't..." Zhang Gong directly interrupted Shangguan Yi and said: "No! It's not early!"
Shangguan Yi was stunned. Zhang Gong looked at Shangguan Yi seriously and said: "Today Gong came here not to ask for help from Ming Gong, nor to ask for advice! I know that Ming Gong is at the end of his rope and has no ability to do anything else.
"
Shangguan Yi listened to Zhang Gong's words and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart. He said seriously: "Zijing, don't do stupid things! You..." Zhang Gong interrupted: "It's not me who is doing it now.
What a fool! It’s time to do this!”
Shangguan Yi was silent, Zhang Gong sighed, and then said softly: "I will handle this matter alone, including all the subsequent troubles caused by the rain in Zhili, Henan, I will bear it with all my strength, Ming Gong,
I'm really tired…………"
Shangguan Yi said in a deep voice: "The New Deal is in full swing! The prosperous age of Yongxi is about to come, and it is a good time for Zijing to serve the country! How can we give up so easily?" Zhang Gong raised his head with tears in his eyes with excitement.
Looking at Shangguan Yi, he said: "Ming Gong! Can the New Deal really bring about a prosperous age?"
Shangguan Yi looked at Zhang Gong, who was silent. Zhang Gong looked at Shangguan Yi excitedly and said, "Ming Gong! How long has it been since you've been to the ground floor? How long has it been since you've been out of Shenjing City? People's lives are indeed getting better and better.
Things are getting better, but isn’t it possible that the better days they are living now were something they should have been able to obtain through hard work!”
Zhang Gong excitedly slammed the table and said: "And our New Deal, isn't it going to make them richer than what they could have achieved through their own efforts before? But look at it! Look at it
look!
"
"But in just a few years, our carefully selected New Deal officials and the seeds of the country have become what they are now! I dare not say anything else. You and Lao Ning should have selected all the officials in the Zhili area together.
?But look! Look what they have become now!"
Shangguan Yi was also a little sad, but still wanted to dissuade Zhang Gong: "Don't be too excited, these things are inevitable after all, after we survive this time."
"Hahaha…………"
Shangguan Yi looked at Zhang Gong, who was a little hysterical. Zhang Gong smiled crazily. Finally, he seemed to be choking and couldn't help coughing. Finally, he waved his hands and sighed: "Now even Ming Gong, you can't help me."
Are you going to lie to yourself?"
Shangguan Yi opened his mouth, but still couldn't speak. Zhang Gong sighed and said: "It's not easy for us to get here from the beginning to today. You and I both know that it will be difficult to survive this level. Ming Gong
Why lie to yourself?"
Zhang Gong stood up and said: "I have decided to die for the New Deal. Although the New Deal is hard to come by, this is what Zhang has done in his life. Now that I am dead, I will die here!"
When Shangguan Yi heard this, he stood up in shock and said: "Zijing, you!" Zhang Gong smiled flatly at Shangguan Yi, and then said: "Since the New Deal, I don't know how many people have died, so how can I be missing Zhang Zijing?
?Zijing is incompetent and unable to help you. I hope you will not blame me!"
As Zhang Gong spoke, he bowed to Shangguan Yi and said, "Ming Gong, please let me contribute my last bit of energy to the New Deal! I'll leave the rest to you!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Shangguan Yi tried to help Zhang Gong up with trembling hands: "Zijing..." Zhang Gong suddenly stood up, then turned around and walked into the pouring rain without looking back.
In the middle, gradually disappeared into the rain curtain......
Shangguan Yi looked at Zhang Gong walking away, but no longer had the courage to stop him, because he knew that at this time, it was time for someone to sacrifice. Emperor Yongxi had no time to take care of this, and the New Deal had reached its bottleneck period.
, if it encounters a despicable word-of-mouth storm at this time, the new party will become precarious in an instant!
So this time has come when someone has to sacrifice, and Zhang Gong, the Minister of Household Affairs at the mouth of the deep storm, is obviously the most suitable candidate to stop the world's Youyou and calm down the public anger!
This is the first time that a person with such a status has fallen since the new party giant entered Beijing! Shangguan Yi's mood was inevitably a little fluctuating. He sat back in his seat in silence, but he couldn't help but slowly clenched his hands into fists...
………
"It's raining so hard..."
Xiangling lay on the window frame, raising her little head and watching the heavy rain hitting the eaves tiles, making a crisp sound, and then as if a layer of water curtain was poured under the eaves, Qingwen raised her eyebrows at her
As soon as her butt came up, Xiangling let out an ouch, climbed down dissatisfiedly, holding her butt, ran to Jia Jing and complained: "Master, look at her..."
Jia Jing touched her forehead in a funny way and said, "Qingwen is doing this for your own good. Look, she's all wet. It's cold at this time. If you really get cold, you won't suffer!"
Xiangling pursed her red lips and said: "How impossible! I am much stronger than them!" Qingwen heard this and said with an ugly face: "You are strong! You are the strongest! Just show off and stop you."
! When the time comes, I will be lying on the bed so uncomfortable, and you still need me to serve you! In the end, I am the only one who is unlucky!"
Hearing this, Xiangling couldn't help but spit out her lilac tongue at Qingwen. Qingwen rolled her eyes at her and ignored her. She just arranged Jia Jing's clothes, and then said to Jia Jing slightly worriedly: "In this weather, Master
Are you still going out?"
Jia Jing sighed when he heard this and said: "The more the weather is like this, the more afraid something will happen! In a place like Beicheng, you must be careful." Qingwen didn't say anything after hearing this, Jia Jing smiled and said
: "Don't be afraid, it's just raining heavily. What didn't you see when I was in Jiubian?"
Qingwen curled her lips when she heard this, and said softly: "I will use this to brag... I will prepare a raincoat for you, Xiangling, come and serve me!" Qingwen saw the look in Jia Jing's eyes.
Not kind, he quickly turned around and ran away.
Jia Jing looked at Qingwen's back and hummed twice, but she didn't press her for anything. It would be her fault to wait until she came back! Xiangling on the side hummed a little tune and came up to help Jia Jing get dressed.
Jia Jing looked at Xiang Ling's silly look and couldn't help but said in a funny way: "You, you, you really don't have to worry about anything every day, and you live a transparent life!" Xiang Ling chuckled, and then lay on Jia Jing's chest and moaned.
He kissed me loudly and said, "Isn't it because I love you so much that I can do this?"
Jia Jing raised her eyebrows and said, "Who taught you to say that?" Xiang Ling looked at Jia Jing unhappily and said, "Who do you look down on? Can't it be my own idea?"
Jia Jing just smiled and stared at Xiang Ling without saying a word. Xiang Ling couldn't help but lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "Miss Bao taught me..." Jia Jing couldn't help but nodded in a funny way and then said:
"Miss Bao, do you still have time to play with you?"
Xiangling scratched her head and said, "Originally I was not free, but Grandma came that day, and Miss Bao also came with her for some reason." Jia Jing heard this and her smile slowly faded, and she frowned slightly and said, "Grandma
Grandma? Sister-in-law? The one in our house?"
Xiangling nodded, and Jia Jing was slightly surprised and said, "What is she doing here? But what's wrong?" Xiangling was silent, and Jia Jing looked at her and said, "I want to ask you a question."
Xiangling glanced at Jia Jing in embarrassment and said: "The girl didn't let me say..." Jia Jing was speechless for a while, and then said: "Are you your girl's girl, or mine?"
Xiangling was in trouble for a long time before she said weakly: "Can't it, can't it be your girl..." Jia Jing couldn't help laughing, and then said to Xiangling: "What is going on? Tell me.
