Wang Ziteng was an old fox and successfully obtained nearly one million taels of silver from the cabinet, the Ministry of War and even Emperor Yonglong, which greatly exceeded Feng Ziying's expectations.
In his opinion, the Ministry of Revenue should not give other large sums of money at once, but should allocate it in batches. At the same time, the Ministry of War and the Metropolitan Procuratorate should review its progress before allocating funds according to the rhythm.
But I didn't expect that this guy took away nearly a million taels of silver at once, allowing him to do whatever he wanted, even reversing priorities. This undoubtedly increased Wang Ziteng's appetite and confidence.
It's easier to talk when your appetite grows, but if your ambition grows, it will be a bit troublesome.
But for now, it is not certain that he really has any unrealistic ideas. Every governor wants to grab as many troops as possible. This is understandable and normal.
Therefore, Feng Ziying is not sure. Even if Wang Ziteng really has some ideas, it is equally difficult to predict which side he will take when he seizes these troops.
Until the last moment for these old foxes, you can never be sure what choice they will make. Just like General Chen Jixian of the Fifth Army Camp, who can be sure which side he will eventually fall to?
But no matter what, Wang Ziteng's current approach has gone astray. He is too obsessed with expanding the Denglai Army and even neglected the construction of the entire naval system. This has touched Feng Ziying's bottom line. He spent so much energy to create such a big project. The strategy of opening up the sea to obtain such a large sum of money was not simply for a Denglai army. The naval fleet was his focus, and doing so also directly touched the sensitive points of the Northern scholars.
Originally, the strategy of opening up the sea had benefited the south of the Yangtze River greatly while the north had little. The biggest explanation for the scholars in the north was that the Denglai Governor's Yamen was established to support Liaodong, and its main purpose was to communicate with the south of Liaoning-Denglai. Lai, allowing the navy to become a powerful mobile force that can land on land anywhere around the Bohai Bay to ensure that Liaodong Town can receive support from the sea under any circumstances.
But now if they learn that you, Wang Ziteng, are so focused on cultivating your own power and neglecting the key Liaonan-Denglai transportation line and even the maritime mobility control over the entire Bohai Bay, then I am afraid that Wang Ziteng will soon He will become the target of impeachment, and he may not even be able to survive.
Feng Ziying felt that she had underestimated Wang Ziteng. She originally thought that the four major families were just like that, dead tigers, or centipeded insects that were dead but not stiff. The Jia family was like this, Xue Jia was like this, the Shi family was like this, no matter how good and capable the Wang family was Where can the good go?
But now it seems that the rest of the Wang family may not be good, but Wang Ziteng is really capable.
From the governor of the Beijing camp to the governor of Xuanda and then to the governor of Denglai, it seemed that he was very close to the emperor, but the governor of Denglai was just that. He took away nearly a million taels of silver at once, even if the cabinet and the Ministry of War agreed. , without Emperor Yonglong’s nod, that would have been impossible, and why did no one care about Wang Ziteng’s efforts to build the Denglai Army and ignore the construction of the navy?
Captain Long couldn't see it, or was there no one in the Imperial Procuratorate?
It is said that those who sit on the fence will die badly, but those who watch the situation and make decisive bets can make big gains with small gains. Feng Ziying really can’t see through Wang Ziteng’s tricks, but he has to admit that, at least until now, Wang Ziteng’s tricks have been very successful. .
Feng Ziying didn't know what the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Yonglong thought of Wang Ziteng, but it was worth pondering that Wang Ziteng could make such a big noise, and it was impossible not to see it from both sides, and that he could play like a fish in water, and the windmill was spinning.
Shen Yourong is not a pedantic person who doesn't understand anything. Being able to find him means that he is also aware of some problems. This feeling of being the leader and standing up for others is really special. At least Feng Ziying is still a good person in this life. The first time I met him, the feeling from my previous life came back.
You and Wang Ziteng will need to have several rounds of confrontation and games to test each other, and naturally they will draw each other in and make deals.
However, as long as her father is stable in Liaodong, Feng Ziying knows that no matter how hard she goes, it will not cause any serious problems. At the worst, she will be fined three drinks or expelled from the capital.
I am young, and I still have plenty of opportunities for myself to try and make mistakes.
When Feng Ziying stepped into the flower hall, everyone in the room stood up, and several girls saluted with joy.
Feng Ziying looked at it the same way, seeing warblers and swallows, thousands of beauties and beauties. There was a line in the past life about how to sing, straying into the depths of flowers? No, not straying, but entering without missing a beat.
"How have you sisters been lately? Did you have a good time during the spring break?" Feng Ziying also bowed with a smile on her face. No matter who saw the scene in front of her, they would be dazzled and dazzled.
Either gentle, enchanting, charming, cool, or heroic, God will take it for you.
"Brother Feng, we are not as busy with official duties as Brother Feng, so naturally we are in a good mood. But if Brother Feng can come to see us despite his busy schedule, we will be in an even better mood." Xiangyun said with a smile.
"Girl Yun, are you talking about Brother Wei? Brother Wei is not as busy as you said. It's just that yesterday my classmates came to conspire to get drunk. Today, I got up a little later, and I happened to encounter some small things that needed to be dealt with. .”
Feng Ziying didn't expect that the girl Shi Xiangyun would be the first to attack. She was wearing a maroon robe and a silk quilt, and her cloak was held by the green velvet beside her. The ground dragon in the room was very warm, making the girl's face blush, but her chest was red. The first pair of bulges are already somewhat sizable. After all, she is a fifteen-year-old girl.
Feng Ziying looked around and saw that this girl's figure was indeed much better than Daiyu, Tanchun, and Xichun, but slightly inferior to Baochai and Yingchun. After all, these two girls were nearly two years older than her.
However, I accidentally saw Siqi behind Yingchun. This girl is really plump and plump, especially her chest, which is better than Wang Xifeng. Compared with Si Qi, he looks much slimmer.
"Well, we all heard what Sister Shen said just now, saying that Brother Feng was very popular in poetry yesterday. He immediately composed a poem, which shocked everyone. We all heard Sister Shen recite it. Brother Feng really became a blockbuster even if he didn't sing. Ah." Tan Chun also smiled and came to finish the attack, "We don't understand that Brother Feng's proficiency in poetry is at this level. There are not many people in the capital city who dare to say that they are proficient in poetry, right?"
"Tan girl, just come and squeeze on your brother Feng." Feng Ziying glanced at Shen Yixiu who was smiling, "It seems that the lady has leaked my secret. I think this secret can be kept secret. Look at the third sister and The expressions on the faces of the sisters are half-smiling but not smiling. It is estimated that the secret cannot be kept and the secret will definitely be revealed. When I go out in the future, don’t I have to perform Cao Zijian’s skills? If I can’t do it, then my reputation will be wasted or my talent will be exhausted. I am so little Feng Xiuzhan's reputation has been ruined, and it will be up to his sisters to seek compensation."
Feng Ziying's few joking words instantly made several girls laugh, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.
"Who dares to say that he can recite poems and compose poems at any time? It has to be inspired or touched before it can come naturally. And Brother Feng, you are not originally interested in poems, but it just shows that you have this I don't even bother arguing with them, my little sister doesn't believe that she dares to provoke you under such circumstances." Tan Chun said disapprovingly.
"Well, that's true. Brother Yu is taking advantage of this opportunity to promote it. It's best to publish it in the "Daily News" to let everyone understand that if you want to stroke the tiger's beard, you may have a bruised nose and face. Sisters, right? "Feng Ziying said with a smile.
"Well, Brother Feng, your poem "Bu Suanzi: Yong Mei" is indeed elegant in artistic conception and clear in style. It is a rare and good poem. Do you have other similar poems?" Daiyu saw Tanchun talking to Feng Ziying. De Yue loved being affectionate, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he took the initiative to interrupt.
"Sister, you still don't know what Brother Yu is capable of?" Feng Ziying shook her head repeatedly, "The article was written by nature, and it was obtained by chance. Brother Yu accidentally saw it on the edge of the cliff. How can it be repeated again and again?"
Seeing that Feng Ziying still refused to admit her ability to recite poems and compose poems, the others laughed.
As long as a group of people opens the topic, they can quickly find more excuses.
"By the way, I heard that the backyard of Rongguo Mansion has completely changed. Has the garden been repaired?" Feng Ziying had always been interested in this matter and asked curiously.
The famous Grand View Garden was finally built. Although Feng Ziying had not seen it yet, Ni Er told Feng Ziying that it was really beautiful and extremely gorgeous. He said that he had never seen it before when he walked around it. Such beautiful scenery.
I guess this garden is indeed very elegant and beautiful, and Feng Ziying also yearns for it.
"It's been repaired, but the master hasn't named the pavilions and pavilions inside yet. It just happened in the past few days." Tan Chun replied. Seeing that Feng Ziying seemed to be very curious, Tan Chun smiled and said: "I didn't expect Brother Feng to be the same." If you really like gardens, Brother Feng can build one in your back garden."
Feng Ziying smiled but did not answer.
This garden is not something that can be built just by building it. Not to mention the money, just the size of it. If it weren't for the guise of provoking marriage for the imperial concubine, who would dare to be so ostentatious?
But having said that, it is true that there are many people in the capital city who are so ostentatious.
Just as he was talking, Jin Chuaner came to report that lunch was ready, and the two ladies and aunts were already waiting for you girls.
As soon as this was said, several girls became nervous, and they all motioned to the maids around them to check for anything inappropriate, tidy up their clothes, and then go.
They have never experienced this kind of situation, and the key is that everyone has some strange emotions in their hearts, so they naturally pay more attention to it.
