Chapter 812 Hou Ruliang
Three years later, three years later, three years later, and three years later, ten years later, Hou Ruliang was finally able to escape, and he was grateful to Xu Jie for this.
Hou Ruliang, the 27th Jinshi in the second grade in the 17th year of Jiajing, was not low, but he was unable to select Shujishi, nor was he able to enter the six ministries and six departments, but instead selected the magistrate of Shaanxi.
The magistrate was replaced by a magistrate, and the magistrate was replaced by a magistrate. It was not until the 27th year of Jiajing that Xu Jie, then the Minister of Personnel, praised him as having outstanding political achievements, and Hou Ruliang was transferred to the Censorate of the Central People's Court.
But in fact, Hou Ruliang had only a handful of days in Beijing and was soon kicked out of the inspection tour of Liaodong.
Later, the Liaodong famine... The Liaodong Governor was vacant at that time, and no one was willing to take over the vacancy. In the end, Hou Ruliang became the Liaodong Governor to take on the blame.
It has been ten years since Liaodong. Hou Ruliang saw it clearly that this place is not a place to make achievements. Not to mention anything else, the large grain shortage that lasted for two years has caused the population of Liaodong to plummet and all industries to wither.
Therefore, when Hou Ruliang received the order of transfer, he was so happy that he rushed to the middle of the capital.
The transfer to Zhejiang Governor was Hou Ruliang's most ideal choice. On the one hand, the famine in Liaodong was mostly due to the export of Zhejiang's grain and rice from the north. Although this batch of grain and rice did not enter Liaodong, the Ministry of Revenue could mobilize grain and rice from the north to Liaodong. From this perspective, Hou Ruliang and Zhejiang are also somewhat related.
On the other hand, Hou Ruliang is one of the few officials in the court who openly supports sea transportation. In Liaodong, he once wrote a letter to request the southeast to transport grain and rice to Liaodong for disaster relief.
In several coastal provinces in the southeast, Zhejiang is the most popular shipping company.
Therefore, when Hou Ruliang, who was about to show his strength and was stunned when he heard Xu Jie's words, he couldn't help but feel stunned and couldn't speak for a moment.
"The Zhejiang-Zhizhi Governor's Office had been sacked as early as last year, but the relevant accounts were retained in the Zhejiang Governor's Office." Feng Tianyu explained carefully: "If you want to eliminate the Yan Party, you must respond to the local government. The leader of the Yan Party is Hu Ruzhen."
"Six provinces have been added to entrust the salt tax, bribe the Japanese leader, and send gold, silver and jewelry to the public every month." Xu Jie said with a blank expression: "Although the Yan Party in the court is asking for it, how can we be worthy of Yang Jisheng and Shen Qingxia?"
Hou Ruliang understood very well that Xu Jie wanted to use Hu Zongxian as a breakthrough to liquidate the Yan Party... Yan Song died in office and planned to kill Yan Shifan, which obviously could not satisfy this person.
Xu Jie stared at Hou Ruliang and said slowly: "I will serve as two governors in the past. I will be able to return to the court to shoulder the heavy responsibilities."
This is for good, Hou Ruliang dared not think about it anymore. The person in front of him seemed kind-hearted but was definitely not a rude person.
"As for Yuan Fu's order," Hou Ruliang stood up and responded, and asked again: "I don't know where to start? I don't know Tan Zili and Hu Ruzhen..."
"There is no connection." Feng Tianyu explained: "But it is not necessary to start from Zhejiang. At that time, the Governor General of Zhejiang Province was appointed to form six provinces, Fujian, Jiangxi... Uh, you can start from Nanzhili, Nanjing, and Shandong. In addition, it is rumored that Hu Ruzhen and Wang Wufeng were fellow villagers and had a lot of contact in private."
"Stand for action." Xu Jie reminded: "It's as quiet as a virgin as a move as a rabbit."
Xu Jie understood the meaning very clearly, and he did not send it out. When Emperor Jiajing passed away, the censor of Kedao would ask for the withdrawal of the law and then impeach Hu Zongxian. Only when Hou Ruliang provided evidence... This kind of thing was difficult to say in private.
Feng Tianyu glanced at Zhang Juzheng who had been silent, "Did you make up for the leak?"
Zhang Juzheng whispered: "First, do not ruin business, and secondly, do not cause the Japanese disaster to rise again."
Xu Jie and Feng Tianyu knew as soon as they heard this, they were referring to Suiyuan.
If Hu Ruzhen's old secrets are revealed, it will definitely not involve Hu Zongxian alone. Zhejiang has been within the scope of many years before, so it is impossible for it to involve the matter of pacifying Wang Zhi... After all, Hu Zongxian came forward to pacifying Wang Zhi in name.
Shortly after Xu Jie took office as chief minister, he was still liquidating Yan Party and his status was not yet stable, and it was not a good thing to have a conflict with Suiyuan.
Feng Tianyu frowned and said, "Yuan Fu, this time he took office as governor of Zhejiang, he can't let Ninghai and Zhenhai wander around."
Hou Ruliang was excited, "Zhenhai is now very famous. He is the only one who goes south and should do his best."
Although he didn't know much about the Southeast and even was confused about the situation in the North Korea, Hou Ruliang knew that Zhenhai and Ninghai trade were connected to the Ministry of Revenue and the internal transportation warehouse, which was really unruly.
For Hou Ruliang, checking accounts and liquidating the Yan Party such as Hu Zongxian is just a party struggle, and the benefits cannot fall on him. The shipping that he has been obsessed with can bring great benefits to him... But first of all, he, the governor of Zhejiang, needs to hold Zhenhai and Ninghai in his hands.
Hou Ruliang felt that this was what Xu Jie needed.
As soon as Feng Tianyu heard this, he knew that Hou Ruliang was completely unaware of the relationship between Suiyuan and Xu's mansion. After thinking about it, he whispered: "The prefect of Ningbo, Tang Shunzhi, was famous throughout the country, and he also had the great contribution of setting up a city to trade. He should be promoted to Beijing and enter the court."
"I'm afraid it's difficult."
Before Xu Jie could speak, Zhang Juzheng took the lead and said, "First there is Tan Zili, then Tang Jingchuan."
Zhang Juzheng was saying this, Tan Lun Dingyou had no choice but to transfer Tang Shunzhi away... Do you think Suiyuan would not get angry? Do you think Suiyuan is really so easy to bully? Do you think Xu Jie could do it freely if he took over as the chief minister of the cabinet?
Xu Jie looked at his son-in-law deeply and turned to Hou Ruliang, "Be careful, Zhenhai and Ninghai must be cautious."
"Go back to the room." Xu Jie hesitated for a while before saying, "I still have official duties, so I can have a few drinks with me."
Zhang Juzheng bowed and bowed, and he obviously felt that Xu Jie's eyes on him during this period were much more solemn than before.
In the side hall of the front yard, Zhang Juzheng accompanied him as the son-in-law of the Xu family. Hou Ruliang smiled and talked about the old things that year... In the 27th year of Jiajing, he was transferred to the Censorate and had contact with Zhang Juzheng, who was still a Shujishi.
"Liaodong is really cold, the soil is as hard as iron, and the hoe is not easy to use." Hou Ruliang heard Zhang Juzheng ask about the Liaodong incident and shook his head repeatedly: "Sweet potatoes and potatoes are tested, and only one village was chosen, and the harvest was very small."
Hou Ruliang was obsessed with shipping and asked carefully about the southeast, especially the number and specifications of sea ships.
Zhang Juzheng whispered: "Before, Ningbo Prefecture imported grain and rice into Fujian and Jiangxi, it was actually a sea route, but the ships were owned by the owner of Wufeng ship."
"There is no sea boat along the coast?"
"The coastal garrison has long been useless." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Nanjing Shipyard has sent some new ships to the coast in recent years, but most of them are sand ships. It is okay to have a near-shore sea. Once you sail far away, it will be difficult to withstand the huge waves."
Hou Ruliang thought about it, "In other words... the big ships that can walk on the sea are basically in the hands of Japanese pirates."
"Maritime merchants are maritime merchants." Zhang Juzheng immediately corrected it and said: "It was Qian Zhancai who built a shipyard in Zhenhai and Dinghai. In the past two years, many new ships have been built, mostly warships. Taizhou commander Ge Hao led the navy south to Fujian to attack the Japanese, using the newly built warships."
After a brief silence, Hou Ruliang sighed: "The problem is still in Zhenhai and Ninghai... it is really puzzling that he is not under the jurisdiction of Zhejiang Governor and the General Secretary."
Zhang Juzheng raised his glass and drank it all, and there was no way to answer this.
He was informed. The earliest Zhejiang Governor's Office was indeed involved, but Wu Baipeng was transferred to Fujian Governor, and Zhao Zhenji, who took over, was obviously here to cause trouble. In the end, Qian Yuan left the Zhejiang Governor and directly connected with the Ministry of Revenue and the internal transportation warehouse. He also received the tacit approval of the Minister of Revenue Fang Dun and even Emperor Jiajing.
