Chapter three hundred and sixty second appointment
With a "pop", Lu Ming's cup fell down. He stared at Ye Qing dumbfounded, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.
"Don't look like this. I'm not that stupid. This is a legitimate thing." Ye Qing said with a stern smile and a faint light in his eyes: "It's not the Water Mansion, it's the Heavenly Court... Due to the success of siege and suppression of the Demon Nest, the Heavenly Court sealed
I am the general of Nanlianfudi. Yan Shenyuan can ask me to send troops, but he has to pay my expedition expenses and the cost of the loss of the formation even if he doesn't."
"You..." Lu Ming was shocked and speechless. General Nan Lianfudi
The state dared to owe money to Uncle Nan Lian, but it would never dare to owe money to General Fudi. These are the rules of different systems.
Lu Ming's bureaucratic instinct suddenly made him feel betrayed. But remembering that Ye Qing was originally a scholar in the Heavenly Court, and had never officially held an official position in the imperial court, and then thinking about this journey, Lu Ming's heart surged with all kinds of words.
But I couldn't say it out loud.
Ye Qing was not surprised when he saw his expression. All systems are petitioners, there is no difference.
No matter how good the relationship between Lu Ming and himself was, when he left the imperial court system and entered the heavenly court system, as a member of the system, Lu Ming naturally felt a sense of betrayal and anger.
At that moment, he smiled calmly: "Master Mingfu, do you feel that you can't speak out? Then you might as well let me say it."
"Jinshi was originally given to heaven, not to the imperial court. This is the basic position."
"Hanlin official is the basic treatment of a scholar in heaven, not a favor from the imperial court."
"The imperial court has given me several titles, which I do not deny, but this is the result of my bloody conquests against bandits, grasslands, and evil spirits."
"As for some conveniences... I provided Prince Yu with a complete iron industry reform plan in exchange for it."
Lu Ming was startled when he heard this: "Did the reshuffle of Imperial Capital Iron Industry come from you?"
The Lu family has five shipyards and consumes a large number of rivets every year. They are clearly aware of the rapid changes in the iron industry.
Seeing Ye Qing nod his head at this time, Lu Ming was speechless: "Second Master, you are so awesome, how come you can get involved in everything?"
After pondering for a long time, the instinct of the institutional petitioner gradually disappeared. Besides, Tianting was the superior of the imperial court, so it was acceptable. After thinking about it, Lu Ming smiled bitterly.
"The donation of strong liquor is another item. The county's economy has improved due to this industry. It is expected that the dumping on the grassland will reach 7 million taels next year. Strong liquor is a necessary livelihood resource in the cold desert. The imperial court can be said to have mastered the Northern Wei Dynasty.
A major danger."
"In terms of governance in the county, the Ye family is indeed the most cooperative family. Driven by the industrial chain of wine, glass, and sweet potatoes, the county's economy has been revitalized. Roads have been repaired, and the exchange rates of silver and copper coins have been reduced to normal proportions.
Not to mention the troubles caused by mountain bandits in the past."
Lu Ming spoke one by one and smiled bitterly: "It's all thanks to you that I can accumulate merit in the county, get evaluated by superiors, and successfully complete my duties."
Ye Qing did not deny this contribution and looked calm: "To be honest, I owe nothing to the imperial court. I have even repaid my friendship with Prince Yu long ago."
For creatures like politicians, there is only exchange and no gratitude. "Sentiment" is valued based on each other's status. King Yujun is in a high position and never defaults on his debts. This can be regarded as a fair character.
"This is Prince Yu's own loss." Lu Ming sighed, not out of love, but out of investment potential.
He is familiar with the ways of being an official, and also knows that in a normal organizational power system, everything operates according to the laws of power, and talents are actually in a relatively low position.
However, Lu Ming watched Ye Qing grow from scratch with his own eyes. Apart from Yu Fan, he was the one who had the deepest impression of Ye Qing's potential: "Since this is the case this time, I won't say more, but you are still worried
With the title of Duke Nan Lian, the current situation is turbulent, so don’t forget the people of this county."
"It's natural." Ye Qing heard something and looked at him: "Are you leaving?"
"The term of office is coming soon. I will support you for another month. When you come back from the soil this time, I will have to leave and will be transferred to Zhounan. Our Lu family is not based in Nancang County."
"Thank you."
Lu Ming feigned anger, turned around and stood up: "How can you say thank you for our friendship?"
"It's my choice of words. One day when Brother Lu steps down as county magistrate, I will definitely pay him a visit." Ye Qing laughed and stopped sending it out: "Brother Lu, you should go back. Maybe your reward has arrived at the county government office."
Lu Ming smiled with satisfaction. It was not in vain that he came all night. After leaving office, there was no need to avoid taboos, and the Ye and Lu families could form an alliance directly.
At the same time, he looked forward to it and turned around to leave: "Farewell."
When they arrived at the courtyard, they heard Ye Qing shouting from behind: "Master Lu, please go slowly, the court will reimburse you, remember to pay me back 400,000."
Lu Ming staggered: "Don't you owe 300,000 yuan for the second battle? The government can provide this money, but why has it increased to 400,000 yuan? You are increasing the money too fast."
"Shui Mansion recruitment fee, Shui Mansion recruitment fee..." Ye Qing said as if chanting a sutra. Seeing that Lu Ming's face was getting darker and darker, he stopped putting pressure on him: "Since he is conspiring to plot against the governor, whoever sees it has a share, give me three hundred and fifty thousand."
, leaving you 150,000 for county funds, the people’s lives and property will be lost, and the county government and the formation can’t be repaired by you at any time.”
"These are still human words." Lu Ming waved his hand and approved the allocation, and the ox cart drove away.
Lu Ming just pretended not to hear the plot against the governor. Ye Qing jumped out, but he was still within the imperial court system.
In fact, Lu Ming was still dubious about whether he could get the 800,000 taels, but aside from the 300,000 taels he gave to Ye Qing privately, the 50,000 taels that were later subsidized to the county were all paid out by him personally.
A total of three hundred and fifty thousand taels, pure working capital
This is not a small amount in the relatively affluent counties in the south of Yingzhou, and it has caused criticism among the elders of the clan - when other people become officials, they only make money for their families, so how can you, when you become an official, pay for it outside?
Lu Ming felt suffocated and resentful in his heart. He had to take this opportunity to ask Zhoucheng for the debt... They were all born in the same Jinshi class. If you really make trouble with the emperor, you Yan Shenyuan will also be embarrassed.
Seeing Lu Mingyuan go away, Ye Qing's smile faded and he waved his hand: "Let's go to the conference hall."
"yes"
With an order, all those qualified to discuss matters were summoned.
With the expansion of the Ye family, the conference hall was renovated and the rules were more grand than before. There was a peach grove on the left and right. For just a moment, about twenty people stood on both sides. When everyone saw Ye Qing coming in, they all
They all bowed.
"Excuse me, everyone." Ye Qing saw that everyone was here, the fire was burning in the fireplace, and felt his heart warmed a lot, and said with a smile: "Please take a seat, let's serve tea."
So everyone took their seats one after another. After Ye Qing settled down, he said to Lu Shangjing: "Tell me what happened."
"Yes" Lu Shangjing stood up and explained everything one by one.
Everyone saw the arrival of the immortal, which was a great joy. However, they did not expect that the official positions were incompatible, and everyone looked at each other in shock.
After a moment of silence, Ye Zifan couldn't help but sigh when he saw several tribesmen looking at him, stood up and said, "Is there no room for reconciliation?"
I still feel very reluctant to leave Wupinhanlin in my heart.
"The relationship here is still incompatible." Lu Shangjing saw that her lord did not speak, so she said: "My family now has three hundred cavalry, five hundred infantry and archers, totaling eight hundred."
"You can raise government soldiers with the false title of earl or above, but the number is only one hundred, plus the regiment training limit is only three hundred, the total of four hundred is legal. In fact, now the governor can punish my family for arrogantly building soldiers and armor."
After hearing this, Ye Zifan looked a little pale and said: "Many of the prominent families in the county have private armors."
But as he said these words, he became lower and lower.
Lu Shangjing smiled: "It is true that many of the noble families in the county have private armors, and most of them build them without authorization. However, this is just because the government does not investigate them. If they do, they will act in accordance with the law. This is the crime of arrogantly building military armors without permission."
"According to the laws of this dynasty, anyone who builds five hundred armor of soldiers without authorization will be punished by hanging. Anyone who builds one thousand armor of soldiers without authorization will be considered as treason and the whole family will be executed."
"The reason why the Governor did not have an attack is that we are currently in a state of war. I am afraid that this little trespass will not be fatal, so I am waiting to wait and see, waiting for my family to further expand, and then make a decisive move."
"This is a disaster that stems from Shen Shen." Lu Shangjing said this and raised her voice: "Our family is really in danger. Now we are fortunate to have the position of general, which is not only justified, but also independent of the imperial court and Yingzhou.
"Although there are disadvantages, once my family is appointed, it will be difficult to obtain material support from the imperial court. But since our family has developed to this point, why do we need to ask for help from the imperial court?"
"Therefore, accepting this bounden duty is beneficial and has no disadvantages. Please pay attention to it, my lord." Lu Shangjing finished speaking in one breath, nodded to everyone, and sat down.
Ye Qing smiled and took a sip of tea: "Mr. Lu is saying, do you have any other opinions?"
Seeing Ye Qing's attitude, no one had any opinions. Besides, it was indeed reasonable. They even nodded. Seeing that everyone agreed, Ye Qing said: "Then I will resign from the imperial position."
With a wave of his hand, someone handed over the pen and ink.
Ye Qing sighed slightly, held the pen in his hand, thought for a moment, and then took Guan Ji's book. As soon as he started writing, he saw the turmoil in the stream of luck, and the red and yellow auras of the fifth-rank Hanlin and Quan observers began to drift away.
When the last word falls, it disconnects itself and is only connected by a thread.
Ye Qing took a look at it, blew it, and thought thoughtfully. Everyone was silent when they saw Ye Qing ordering: "If anyone comes, turn this to the center of the state, and then enter the official department."
"Yes" someone immediately responded, and as soon as he responded, the last trace of luck was cut off.
You must know that being a Jinshi in the Heavenly Court only depends on your attitude. Once you have passed the test, it does not require the approval of the imperial court. It has already become a fact, so you immediately cut off these two fortunes.
Ye Qing did not panic, got up again, went to the courtyard, and saluted to the sky: "Your Majesty Ye Qing has accepted the post, thank you for your kindness."
As soon as he said those words, his aura dropped slightly, and he formally accepted the post of General of Nan Lian Fudi in an instant. It is said that there is not much difference between the duties in heaven and the imperial court. This is still the luck of the seventh grade.
It's just that although the amount of this Qi is not large, it is ancient and majestic, and is very different from the Qi of the imperial court.
