It was already late November, and five consecutive days of heavy snow covered the entire city of Beijing. Unfortunately, the quilt not only did not keep warm, but made people tremble.

The war situation in the southeast was unstable for a while, and Altan, the northwest, came to grab another wave in October. He originally expected to be affected by Japanese pirates. As a result, in August, the autumn rains and mountain torrents were raging, such as Chaozhou Prefecture, almost most of the time were soaked in water.

In late October, the Governor of Zhejiang Zhizhi, Hu Zongxian, wrote a letter, and Emperor Jiajing nodded and left half of the remaining salt in the two Huai Rivers, and was at the Governor of Zhejiang Zhizhi to prepare for the cost of maritime defense.

So, as the cold land is cold today, Fang Dun, the Minister of Revenue, began to worry again... He really wanted to retire, and he would be sixty years old. From the beginning of the Huayin earthquake last year to now, Fang Dun has written more than twenty memorials for resignation, which is a slight meaning to him. In order to persuade Emperor Jiajing to pray for prayers in the original time and space, he wrote hundreds of thousands of words in his letter!

However, Emperor Jiajing refused to approve Fang Dun's resignation.

Emperor Jiajing was not stupid either. He could tolerate Yan's party accepting bribes, but he would never throw Yan's group of rats into the rice jar. Fang Dun was one of the few important officials who dared to face Yan Song.

In Suiyuan, Xu Wei, Qian Yuan, Qian Zheng and Gu Chengzhi sat around the table, talking about this while eating.

Gu Chengzhi was Qian Yuan's enlightenment mentor and once served as an aide to Qian Zheng. At the beginning of the year, Qian Yuan passed by Jinshi, and he went out to travel to Huguang and Jiangxi, and had just returned to Beijing.

"What else can I do?" Xu Wei fished out his beard. Since Qian Yuan had too much food that day, Suiyuan's diet has been simple. Today I ate Yangchun noodles, and I put a plate of chopped pepper on the table. "My nephew made a lantern - as usual."

Qian Zheng remained silent. At the end of last year, many officials in Beijing were jumping and cursing Fang Du... Because the earth dragon turned over and had to allocate silver supplies to provide disaster relief, the salary was converted into treasure money.

It is no exaggeration to say that at least many colleagues in the Hanlin Academy have no meat on the table on New Year's Eve... Not every scholar will accept the offer after he passed the Jinshi. Besides, the housing prices in the capital are too high.

"To be honest, the Grand Secretary has quite a way to manage the government, but he has no choice but to... he has no rice to put it in the pot." Qian Yuanting sympathized with Fang Du. In this case, the gods didn't even play with the show when they came.

"Today, the six departments of the Censorate have three memorials impeached Hu Zongxian." Qian Zheng suddenly said: "Hu Ruzhen is now talking a lot in Beijing..."

Many people are talking about this word, but in fact, Hu Zongxian's reputation in Beijing has become a big fuss. He has added additional staff and spent a lot of money to control the troops of the six provinces to suppress the Japanese. As a result, Xu Hai was so dirty that he still had the face to intercept the salt tax.

If the salt tax is not intercepted, the Ministry of Revenue...not to mention the rest, at least the salary of the Beijing officials is enough.

Qian Yuan involuntarily associates that perhaps Hu Zongxian's miserable fate in the original time and space is also related to this. He has added the Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Huguang, and has also intercepted half of the salt tax, which has almost offended all the officials in the capital.

Ten years of hard work are for fame and fortune, but after being admitted to the Jinshi and becoming an official is not for continuing to work... If you don't want to be yourself, wouldn't you study hard as the rise of the Ming Empire?

After chatting for a few words, Gu Chengzhi pulled the topic apart, talked about his experiences over the past six months, and talked about worshiping Nie Bao... He and Qian Zheng are good friends. Although they are just scholars, they are also disciples of Nie Bao.

After Qian Zheng and Gu Chengzhi left, Qian Yuan turned to look at Xu Wei, "What?"

"The Grand Minister's Estate has no rice to put it in the pot..." Xu Wei said with slightest: "What if there is rice to put it in the pot?"

Qian Yuan sneered, "Unless he went to circumvent the villa of Yan Donglou, not to mention the extra money, at least the Ministry of Revenue will earn a year's income!"

"I mean in the future..." Xu Wei whispered: "Some things need to be prepared for the future, at least they need to take out their attitude."

"Enable a ban on trade?" Qian Yuan walked back and forth a few steps, "I mentioned before His Majesty... His Majesty will not comment."

"Then I'll try it?"

Qian Yuan immediately shook his head, hesitated for a while and whispered: "Remember that the Grand Secretary Nong is from Huguang... Is there a suitable candidate to find someone from Huguang to write a letter?"

"Yes, in the 32nd year of Jiajing, he was admitted to the rank of the People's Department and was transferred to the Criminal Department for the Criminal Department last year."

In fact, since the Hongzhi period, officials have been writing letters to propose the opening of a sea ban and trade ban... In fact, the Ming Dynasty had never really opened a sea ban and trade ban, but just gave foreign vassals a channel to pay tribute.

However, during the Jiajing period, this voice disappeared, on the one hand because Xia Yan, who proposed to close the Maritime Warehouse Department, then as the chief minister, would have made such old accounts? On the other hand, the Japanese pirates were too fierce. Several descendants of Xie Qian, the elder who was pulled out of the mountains and used as a banner by Emperor Jiajing, were killed. The Japanese pirates began to conquer the city and land, and they were only short of raising a banner to rebel.

Therefore, twenty-eight years later, no one openly proposed to open a ban on sea bans. Only Qian Yuan, who was confused last year, had just entered Beijing and proposed twice in front of Emperor Jiajing.

Emperor Jiajing was actually moved, and he was not in a bad mood without money, but the problem was that Emperor Jiajing was not sure about the consequences of opening a sea ban and communicating. Anyway, this broken ship in the Ming Dynasty could still be repaired. If something happened again, he would have to lose all his face.

Qian Yuan’s plan was to rely on King Yu and Gao Gong, because he clearly remembered the historical event of Longqing switch, but could he push the process forward?

After all, the current finances in the North Korean capital are really unbearable, and the whole capital is full of complaints... Of course, Qian Yuan does not intend to jump out in person, it depends on Xu Wei's methods now.

Just three days later, Qian Yuan looked at Xu Wei speechlessly, knowing that you are awesome, but I really don’t know that you are so awesome!

"I just tried to find out the wind and didn't start saying anything!" Xu Wei felt a little aggrieved. Before I could use all the eighteen methods... I didn't use my strength, you fell down?

Qian Yuan also thought that after returning to the southeast, if someone wrote a letter to open a ban on trade, he would ask Xu Wei and Liu Hong to send a letter to go south.

As a result, today, the Criminal Department wrote a letter to the clerk Gao Shan and the head of the Ministry of Revenue Hu De, proposing to open a ban on trade in the sea to make up for insufficient financial resources.

This incident immediately caused an uproar in the Korean Central Government. When the Japanese invasion in the southeast frequently occurred, it was proposed to open a sea ban on trade... This is called a political line going aside.

Countless people's eyes were turned to Fang Dun, the Minister of Revenue, because Hu De, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, was his trusted subordinate, and Gao Shan, the director of the Criminal Department, was his fellow villager.

Everyone thought that Fang Dun was throwing a stone to ask for directions. This was a common method of important officials in the court. He showed political propositions and clues, but he did not end in person.

But then, Fang Dun personally took the memorial and went straight to the West Garden to meet him. The sound was like a bell, and he was passionate... Either let me quit my job and get out of here. Your Majesty, you should take care of this mess yourself, or you should open a ban on maritime trading!

Qian Yuan had thought that this senior manager was gentle and elegant before, but he didn't expect it to be a cannon... Even if he wanted to open a ban on trade, it would not be the case now!

I just wanted to try to pave the way for the future. Now I'm ready, I just stabbed Emperor Jiajing in front of him. Qian Yuan and Xu Wei stared at each other, but there was nothing wrong with him.

Qian Yuan felt a little upset. Emperor Jiajing knew that he was inclined to open a maritime ban and would not touch himself.

This is really too taboo. To put it bluntly, it is called self-conception.

While scratching his head, Zhou Ze walked in outside, holding two greetings in his hand, "Young master, here we are again."

"Who?" Qian Yuan turned his head and looked, "It's Uncle Zhang again, so he said I was seriously ill and couldn't get up... Why do I get two?"

“Sent together.”

Qian Yuan flipped over and froze, how could he forget this person?!

Countless thoughts rolled in Qian Yuan's mind, his eyes were filled with vigilance, contempt and even a hint of murderous intent.

But after a moment, Qian Yuan licked his lips and let go of his hand. This was an excuse. He turned to look at Xu Wei, "Brother Wen..."

"If you have something to say," Xu Wei became alert.

He also "Brother Wen", who is innocent and dedicated, either a traitor or a thief!

This matter cannot be said publicly, and I cannot be said to be a time traveler... Qian Yuan smiled enthusiastically and said, "If this matter is a big deal, then just..."

"how?"
