In the 36th year of Jiajing, the Southeast trained the new army showed strong combat power. Qi Jiguang defeated Xu Hai for three quarters of an hour outside Shangyu City, and Yu Dayou tried hard to cut off Xu Hai's retreat.

Although Xu Hai escaped from the sea, Wang Zhi immediately surrendered and offered Xu Hai's head.

In the next six months, Yu Long and Qi Hu, Qi Jimei, Lu Bin, Hou Jigao, Liu Xian, and Dong Bangzheng took turns to fight to eliminate small groups of Japanese pirates and won repeatedly.

The government also set up a city in Houtao Mountain, Zhenhai County to trade, and merchants gathered. Ship boats went to sea to sell goods every ten days, and traded for a while.

Since the 27th year of Jiajing, the Japanese pirates began to frequently plunder ashore, and then to the Xu brothers, Li Bantou was captured and killed. In the 32nd year of Jiajing, Wangmin should destroy Ligang and go to the southeast Japanese riots. It has been nearly ten years since the 32nd year of Jiajing.

Ten years have passed, and the people of the southeast coast finally waited for the day when the clouds were cleared and the fog was dissipated. Therefore, since the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, the crackling sound of firecrackers has echoed every town, and the passers-by have smiles on their faces, watching the children wearing new clothes walk around the streets and play.

But not everyone is in such a good mood, and some people think... the end of the year is so difficult this year!

For example, those clerks in the Zhejiang Governor's Office.

Zhao Zhenji started to check the accounts of the governor's yamen before his butt was almost touched on the bench... This is a very taboo thing. Generally speaking, it is a taboo to check the accounts of the former officials. No one wants to leave and the butt is still lit by the successor.

But Zhao Zhenji obviously made very sufficient preparations. Although Mr. Huang, whom he brought, was a scholar, had served as a staff member of the two Governor Yingtian, and was in charge of money, grain and account books. Zhao Zhenji also brought a lot of people from Nanjing.

Boxes of account books were brought out, and the sound of plucking the beads resounded throughout the governor's office until the thirty-year lunar month... In the big lunar month, the bill was finally finished.

Zhao Zhenji narrowed his eyes and looked at the summary booklets handed over by Master Huang. Most of them were circled with black pens, and only a few were circled with red pens.

After hearing Master Huang whisper a few words, Zhao Zhenji hummed. These black pens are all regular cases, that is, the gray income of the following minor officials, such as the regular silver submitted by Fuzhou below, will be scraped by these minor officials when they enter the warehouse, but this is the same in the whole world? Those who enter the warehouse for the royal family will be scraped by the eunuchs...

All the officials below looked unhappy? The former governor of Zhejiang Wu Baipeng was honest and did not deduct the lower part? But there was no additional subsidy? They were not afraid of investigating.

Of course, there are other reasons for the unhappiness... Please? Today is New Year's Eve, are you still old and you are still in the New Year? We still have to go home for a reunion dinner!

Zhao Zhenji then looked at the places that were circled by red pens? Part of them was military expenditure, and he also knew that Wu Baipeng had a unit of 2,000 people under his command, and the other part was sent to the Governor's Office.

He stretched out his finger and pointed, and Zhao Zhenji sneered twice. Obviously in his opinion, it was released from the Governor's Office... Of course, there was a problem. If one is not good, he would have been in Hu Ruzhen's private pocket.

Master Huang coughed twice, reached out and turned the book to the end, pointing his finger.

Zhao Zhenji frowned and looked at the minor official below, "Where is the account book from Jiajing thirty-five years ago?"

A little official with a faceless face came out and said, "Sir? In September of the 34th year of Jiajing, the yamen caught fire? All the books were burned."

"Burning?"

Zhao Zhenji and Master Huang repeated it together, and they knew that there was something wrong with it when they looked at each other. Because 35 years ago, the governor of Zhejiang was Hu Zongxian.

Of course there is something wrong?                                                            

Zhao Zhenji's face turned pale? Waves his hand and asks the clerks to retreat, sighing: "It seems that this time I enter Zhejiang, there are many obstacles...even the account book has been burned."

It doesn't matter to Master Huang. He encountered such a thing more than once or twice in the Yintian Governor's Office. If there is any problem with the account book, he burned it to ashes... If you have the ability, you can check it. It's a fire. I admit my blame, but all the officials in the world don't repair the yamen, so there are too many fires.

"Dongweng, in fact, there is no need to find too many things in the account book." Mr. Huang explained: "Wu Weixi is not taking power or greedy for money. If you want to find out, you are afraid that you still need the account book from the Governor's Office, but..."

Although he didn't say it, Zhao Zhenji also knew what it meant. When he started to check the account books, Hu Zongxian had already escaped. It is said that Japanese pirates fleeing in Wenzhou. It seems that this is how... he will never go back to Hangzhou to spend the New Year.

As for Wang Yin, who was left by Hu Zongxian in charge of Hangzhou, he obviously would not sell Zhao Zhenji's face... Not to mention that the two sides were hostile, and the governor was above the governor, how could he give the account book to Zhao Zhenji to investigate?

The Zhejiang Inspector Qian Yuan had this name, and he was Xu Jie's son-in-law. This idea changed his mind and was swallowed by Master Huang... Although he didn't know the inside story, he knew very well that Dongweng and the famous hero in the southeast were quite inconsistent.

Zhao Zhenji rubbed his eyebrows and thought for a long time, but he couldn't find any solution for a while. Now the Zhejiang officialdom is quite rejecting him and he can't find any counselors. He Xinyin is an aide to the Governor's Office, so Zhao Zhenji dare not believe what he said.

In fact, this is a looming blame, but Zhao Zhenji has to take it.

The reason is very simple. For Zhejiang, it is appropriate to scold Yan Song, but there is a prerequisite for wanting to scold, and you have to live.

Over the years, Japanese pirates have been attacking every year. Yuyao, Shangyu, Hangzhou, Xiaoshan, Shanyin Kuiji, Cixi... Which county does not have a large number of Jinshi? In just the past two years, Yuyao, Cixi, and Shanyin Kuiji have almost been destroyed by Japanese pirates. Xiaoshan and Pinghu have all been looted, and many wealthy families have been destroyed and their families have been destroyed.

No matter what the court is, in the southeast, whoever can stabilize the situation and whoever can kill the Japanese will support whom the southeast will support.

This is a key point for Hu Zongxian to firmly take up the position of governor of Zhejiang and Zhili, and it is also the reason why Qian Yuan is very famous in the southeast.

In comparison, Xu Jie is a bit... From Peng An to Tu Dashan, to Yang Yi, they were all Xu Jie's accomplices in the same year, but they all ended up being defeated.

Southeast actually has an opinion on Xu Jie... and everyone knows that Zhao Zhenji was recommended by Xu Jie as the governor of Zhejiang.

"When Hu Ruzhen returns to Hangzhou, try it." Zhao Zhenji gritted his teeth and said, "Successor Go and ask..."

Speaking of this, Zhao Zhenji couldn't even talk anymore. He was stuffed into Zhejiang by Xu Jie, and it was obvious that he was here to find fault. Do you still expect Hu Zongxian to hand over the account book for himself to review?

And it is also the subordinates who check the boss's account book...

"Cough cough." Mr. Huang whispered: "After Dongwen took over, he accidentally learned that there was quite a little silver in the yamen, so he asked the staff of the Governor's Office to be responsible for the accounting of money and grain to investigate the several silver coins sent to the Governor's Office this year and where to use it."

Zhao Zhenji's eyes lit up, "If it is the rules set by his ex, I will not be stingy, but I must first ask what it is for."

Master Huang smiled and nodded slightly.

"Sir, help me a lot." Zhao Zhenji praised a few times and suddenly asked, "How much does Kuyin have?"

"Not less than a thousand taels." Mr. Huang tugged, "I've asked, all the taxes paid for the drafting method are sent to the Governor's Office. The Governor's Office is mainly a regular silver for various prefectures and continents, and it should be able to be stored in the warehouse after the New Year."

"Wu Weixi is actually Hu Ruzhen..." Zhao Zhenji sneered twice.

Master Huang was a little dissatisfied. Under Hu Zongxian's suppression, Wu Baipeng actually had no real power, but Wu Baipeng rescued Kuaiji, Shanyin several times. He once heard from his fellow villagers that Wu Weixi was the one who took the overall situation into consideration.

"Ahem, Dongweng misunderstood." Mr. Huang spread the account book and flipped a few pages and explained: "Half a year ago, the ku-yin was quite sufficient, mainly to allocate Ningbo Prefecture."

"Ningbo Prefecture?"

"Zhenhai County."

Zhao Zhenji understood now, and Wu Baipeng sent the silver to Zhenhai, Qian Yuan and Tang Shunzhi were making trouble there... He had heard of it in Nanjing.

"Recruiting more than 10,000 civilians, repairing embankments and roads, repairing docks and Weiyuan City, and rebuilding the city walls..." Zhao Zhenji shook his head, "No matter how hard the people are, the people will be resentful, it is really nonsense!"

Zhao Zhenji looked at the sky and ordered his servants to cook two bowls of noodles. He only filled his stomach with a few pieces of dried tofu. Although he was depressed and did not find a breakthrough, he did not lose his fighting spirit.

At the same time, Qian Yuan, who is far away in Zhenhai, Ningbo, is in a bad mood, and wants to find a whip to slap people... What's this?!

After several months of preparation, I finally missed the opportunity!

I have made up my mind to make them not have a good New Year’s Eve. Now it’s better, and I’m having a happy New Year’s Eve, but I’m so angry that I’m so angry.

"Okay, it's been several days. Who will show off her face?" Xiaoqi looked over with displeasure, "Burn a braised pork trotter, but the hair on it is not shaved. Who are you going to give it to?!"

"That's it." The little girl started to cheer on the side, "You can eat that pig's feet second brother."

"I'll eat it." Qian Yuan hummed unhappily. Is it my responsibility to not shaved it?

After thinking about it, Qian Yuan got up and walked out, went straight to the kitchen of the outer yard and scolded several chefs... He had to vent his anger, otherwise he would have to be suffocated!

"Young Master, Yang Wen is here."

Hearing Peng Feng’s report, Qian Yuan sneered and said, “Okay, okay, okay, finally here!”

After a pause, Qian Yuan ordered: "Peng Feng, go and take my whip over by Master!"
Chapter completed!
