Chapter 172: Hai Rui has arrived in Jinan

Whether it is in the palace or in the court, it is actually the same. Many times it does not mean that if you change people, the essence of things will change.

It's useless, Emperor Chongzhen is a good example.

Chongzhen kept changing the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet and the Secretary of the Six Ministers, and killed many officials during this period. What's the use?

The people who came up were still those, and the things they did were still those.

The same is true in other periods, Xia Yan, Yan Song, Xu Jie, who can you say is better than who?

The reason why Yan Song was scolded the most was because he had been in power for the longest time.

The same goes for the other two. Xu Jie's property is thicker than Yan Song and he is more greedy than Yan Song.

So many things cannot be said. Xu Jie was dug out, what about those who were not dug out?

Who would have thought that Zhang Siwei and his family were salt merchants?

Who would have thought that the three-sided governor Wang Chonggu and his family were the largest Shanxi merchants?

Not only did they get involved in Yangzhou's salt industry, they also promoted Altan's tribute and opened eleven trades between Mongolia and Ming dynasties.

Logically speaking, this should be a good thing and a credit to them. They are from Shanxi, so they can only say that as locals, they are better aware of the situation. This is a good thing. But what about the actual situation?

The reality is that they make a fortune in their own family, but the emperor did not receive taxes or make money, and they are still very poor; the people in Shanxi and Shaanxi are still poor.

So after looking at the whole thing, they just made themselves fat.

What benefits did the court get?

Maybe it’s Shanxi and Shaanxi no longer have wars.

As a result, these people became more and more powerful, and they became more and more courageous, and became more and more unscrupulous. In the end, they became the Eight Great Imperial Merchants of the Qing Dynasty. It was really ironic to think about it.

Zhu Yijun understands one thing that replacements cannot solve the problem, especially in the current Ming Dynasty.

No need to do more, there are three or five Hairuis, so many things are easy to deal with.

Unfortunately, there is no one, Hai Rui, the Ming Dynasty.

I wonder if Hai Rui has arrived in Shandong now? How is his life?

Speaking of which, Zhu Yijun is really a little worried.

After looking at Chen Ju who was walking back, Zhu Yijun asked, "Is it yours who followed Hai Rui to Shandong?"

"Your Majesty, you are a little eunuch named Li Si." Chen Ju said quickly: "He was the one who went to take Lord Hai over at the beginning, so he followed this time."

"Is there any news coming back?"

"Not yet." Chen Ju raised his head and said, "Do you want to urge me?"

"No need." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "Let's wait."

After saying that, he picked up the big scissors and continued to repair the tree in front of him.

Chen Ju stood aside with his body bent, but his heart was ruthless, and he turned around and wrote to Li Si.

No, send someone over there, and you must ask with his ear: What's wrong with you? Didn't you tell you at the beginning? Remember to write a letter after you go out and write more letters! If you don't talk about other situations, you must report to the palace, right?

Now, after leaving for so long, there has been no news coming back. That's how you handled the palace?

Thinking of this, Chen Ju was so angry. Why is Li Si so ignorant!

Shandong, Jinan Prefecture.

Hai Rui was sitting in the carriage, and Wang Yongji was by his side.

Li Si was sitting on the shaft outside. Although he was not a rusher, he also wanted to sit here, and his main purpose was of course to monitor Hai Rui.

He thought so himself, but in fact, Hai Rui ignored him at all.

Along the way, President Li Si was thinking about what he had done and why he had such an errand?

When I went to pick up Hai Rui, I had to work hard all the way. Now, I still have to go to Shandong with Hai Rui to continue to suffer.

Along the way, Li Si felt that he was almost no longer himself.

Hai Rui glanced at Li Si and snorted coldly.

If this little eunuch hadn't been quite sensible, he would have driven him back.

Hai Rui doesn't care what he is here for.

"We are about to arrive in Shandong. Lord Hai should tell the officials what to do, right?" Wang Yongji said helplessly: "We must always prepare, right?"

Hai Rui turned his head and looked at Wang Yongji. He was quite satisfied with this person.

When he first left the capital, Hai Rui was not very satisfied because this person looked like the emperor's person, and sometimes the emperor's person was not the one he had along the way.

However, along the way, Hai Rui found that this person was really interesting. Both of them had many similarities in terms of knowledge and opinions.

For example, both of them were dissatisfied with Zhang Juzheng and felt that Zhang Juzheng had the duty of becoming a minister.

At the same time, the two of them agreed with Zhang Zheng's reform business, and they both believed that Zhang Juzheng was very weak, just paddling, and they were not even as good as Gao Gong in terms of doing things, nor were they as bottom line as Gao Gong; Gao Gong was just a little too arrogant and domineering.

Hai Rui and Wang Yongji also have similar comments on Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng. They think that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are essentially no different, but their external performance is different.

Although Zhang Juzheng showed gentleness and not aggressiveness, he actually did things, and Zhang Juzheng sometimes acted more ruthlessly than Gao Gong.

Gao Gong sometimes likes to put things on the surface. If it doesn’t work, it won’t work. He can even fight you under the hall.

But Zhang Juzheng can't do it. He absolutely can't do anything to fight with people, but there are quite a lot of twists and conspiracies behind it.

It is true that Zhang Juzheng is Xu Jie's student, and Xu Jie taught it with one hand. He has the style of Xu Jie.

Hai Rui and Wang Yongji chatted all the way, but instead felt closer.

Now that he heard Wang Yongji ask this, Hai Rui didn't think he was inquiring about the news.

"What else can I do? The soldiers come to block the enemy, and the water comes to flood the earth." Hai Rui said with a smile: "This time I can come to Shandong, and they have already thought of a way to deal with us. Look, after entering Shandong, they will be verbally, and they are waiting for us to get into it."

Speaking of this, Hai Rui showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were full of disdain.

A group of mediocre people, what?

Just because you want to give me a cloth condom?

Let's take a look.

Wang Yongji sat on one side, his face full of gloomy.

"The court is difficult," Wang Yong sighed and said, "We should work together and work hard. But we still have to make trouble. When can we be united and have the same virtue?"

"I didn't expect you to have such a naive side." Hai Rui said with a smile: "Two people can read a book with different meanings. If you say that, he will say that in the end, the two people will even fight; in the end, they will want to kill each other."

"This is just a book, let alone a country's major politics? You think it should be like this, he thinks it should be like that; you think you are right, he thinks he is right, and no one can convince anyone, what should we do?"
