Chapter 822 Influence
After two consecutive attempts, Hou Ruliang was so angry that he jumped away in private, he did not have the slightest desire to avoid him.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Hou Ruliang had to pay money from his own pocket. After all, the staff hired him and his personal soldiers brought him... Originally, these should have been made from regular currency, but so far, no one in each prefecture has paid regular currency.
For example, the prefect of Huzhou and Yanzhou ruling out the exhaustion of people's strength, and the prefect of Jiaxing and Chuzhou claimed that it had been released and the government had to wait until the first month of the year, while the prefect of Jinhua and Wenzhou did not even respond.
Hou Ruliang has seen many irritable generals and subordinates in Liaodong, but he has never seen such unruly subordinates and colleagues... Do you think I, the governor of Zhejiang, cannot sit steadily?
In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Hou Ruliang is from Shanxi and governor of Liaodong. It is difficult to understand the thoughts of the officialdom, the wealthy and merchants in the southeast.
In the southeast, money can make ghosts push. With Qian Yuan’s encouragement and even encouragement, a tide of business swept over, making the southeast only recognize money but not people... This is mostly derogatory for Jiangnan Shilin, although they themselves also benefited from it.
Although the incident of Qian Yuan's army surrounding the governor's yamen was not spread widely, it was very popular in the officialdom. Zhao Zhenji left, and now another Hou Ruliang, who is also a subordinate of Xu Jie, came. How could this not be wary?
Cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents!
Starting from the 26th year of Jiajing, the maritime ban was strictly implemented and the maritime ban was opened for trade... The Southeast was frightened repeatedly until Qian Yuan officially established a city for trade.
Even those prefects from all over the country, even the governors and officials in Hangzhou City, who did not benefit from this feast, or their relatives and friends, or their cooperation with big families, they all benefited from it... After all, not only Zhejiang, but also Hai Rui in the world.
Hou Ruliang is not stupid. He could vaguely feel that the attitude of the whole officialdom towards him is not only because of Qian Yuan, but also for other deep-seated reasons.
That's true.
From a clear perspective, it was Qian Yuan's attitude towards Hou Ruliang that led to all this, but in essence, it was Southeast's desire for wealth, fear of sea ban, and severance of trade routes... which led to Southeast's resistance to Hou Ruliang.
Hou Ruliang felt a little unfair. He went south to Zhejiang to target Hu Zongxian... But he couldn't say this on the surface.
From New Year's Eve, Hou Ruliang and several aides began to sort out the accounts left in the Governor's Office... Well, Wu Baipeng clearly knew during his tenure that although Tan Lun was not a thing, there was no problem with the accounts. The biggest problem was Zhao Zhenji.
The accounts left by the Zhejiang Governor's Office are only one general account, no details or flows. This thing is useless. Even if you compare them with the accounts of the yamen in Nanjing, Susong, Shandong, and Huguang, you can only find out the general incoming and exiting points at most. It is difficult to find out Hu Zongxian's bribery account to Yan Donglou.
Hou Ruliang began to wonder whether to make a fake account... Anyway, this matter was for sure, and it was not unfair to him.
This model...is a unique political ecology of the Ming Dynasty. When the censors of the Kedao report and report that you are guilty, then you are guilty. If you are not guilty, we will not impeach you. If you are impeached, then you are guilty!
A considerable number of officials cut off their careers and secretly cursed the group of Kedao censors all mad dogs... The more typical one is Hu Zongxian's aide Mao Kun, who was praised as a genius when he defeated the Yaomin rebels, but in the end he was impeached and killed by Kedao censors, and eventually had to ask for his resignation.
Moreover, Hu Zongxian was not only a matter of news, but everyone was sure, even Emperor Jiajing could be sure that Hu Zongxian would definitely bribe Yan Shifan... There is no way, Yan Shifan is not allowed to do anything without collecting cash.
Until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Hou Ruliang had no choice but to temporarily end the check. It happened that the Lantern Festival was today, and he and Master Zhang left the yamen.
In the past two years, Zhejiang has been in good weather and strong maritime trade. Hangzhou is the starting point of the Grand Canal of the North and South, and the Qiantang River leads directly to Wuhan from Huizhou, becoming the most prosperous cargo distribution center along the coast except Zhenhai.
There is less sorrow and more laughter among the people. Large colorful lanterns can be seen everywhere. Children wearing new clothes are carrying small lanterns in their hands and shuttle back and forth among the crowd.
This is a grand occasion that has never been seen in the bitter and cold land of Liaodong. When Ruliang walks forward, there are many dazzling lantern sheds built at the door of the wealthy families, and there is even more than one Aoshan.
Master Zhang looked at Aoshan not far away curiously, "Whose family is this? Do it? Do it? "
This Aoshan is mostly painted with patterns of various children's appearances. The pictures of the hundred infants are beautiful and beautiful. The pictures of the infants are playing with butterflies, which is very interesting.
"What a big deal." Although Hou Ruliang was from Shanxi, he followed his father in Nanjing when he was young and was well-versed in music, calligraphy and painting. He immediately became interested. "It is not something that ordinary painters can do."
Master Zhang walked forward a few steps, squinted his eyes and couldn't help but say in surprise: "Whose family is this... there is not even a plaque."
Hou Ruliang followed him forward and felt a little strange when he saw this scene. More than a dozen middle-aged men in clothes were only clean standing at the door, and people kept coming forward to congratulate him. The followers behind him carried large bags of gifts in. The men refused, and the door was crowded together.
As he walked a little closer, Hou Ruliang's pupils shrank slightly. Most of the dozen men were disabled. Master Zhang blurted out, "Is it the Japanese... the sea merchant?"
A middle-aged fat man standing next to him turned his head strangely and looked, "You two are not Zhejiang people, aren't you?"
"It's true." Master Zhang asked with a smile: "How did you see it on your brother?"
"Haha, not only are they not from Zhejiang, but also from Susong, nor from Fujian." The middle-aged fat man laughed and said, "It's even more not from the business!"
Hou Ruliang and Master Zhang looked at each other.
The middle-aged fat man then explained: "If you are from the Southeast or a businessman, how can you not know about the Hangzhou Food Park?"
"Food Garden?" Master Zhang blinked, "The food garden is not here, right?"
"That was the food garden later... Mr. Longquan had never been to it, so this place was considered a food garden." The middle-aged fat man said with a smile: "Mr. Longquan is kind-hearted, and the Qian family guards went to fight to kill the Japanese. If they are disabled, they either stay in Zhenhai or in the food garden... We are not qualified to get together in Zhenhai, so we can only come to the food garden."
Hou Ruliang turned his head to look at the men with broken hands at the door. It turned out to be the guards of the Qian family in the famous southeast.
"What are you doing here?"
The middle-aged fat man pointed to Aoshan, "Longquan Gong was happy with Danlin'er, so he was naturally very happy."
Master Zhang wanted to ask what else? The fat man looked at the fewer people at the door and immediately shouted and killed three or four companions.
Master Zhang turned his head speechlessly and looked at Hou Ruliang with a gloomy face, "Dongweng..."
Hou Ruliang turned around and left. He was so dirty that he was made in the capital. He went south to take office and was expelled twice in a row. He was in a rare mood to go out for a walk around, but he could even hit him in a straight face!
I really can't hide from you!
Hou Ruliang was ruthless in his heart, but at the same time he was secretly shocked. He did not expect that Suiyuan or Qian Yuan's influence was not only concentrated in the three prefectures of Ningshaotai, but also in the officialdom and shopping malls.
