Chapter 983 The Fuse (1)

Walking along the winding corridor, before reaching the main hall, I heard Xu Wei's complaints, mixed with Sun Jing and Xian's consolation.

"What's wrong?" Qian Yuan walked into the main hall and yawned. "Brother Wen has always been arrogant and arrogant, but now he is full of bans?"

Xu Wei was so angry that he laughed. Before he passed the imperial examination, he did have such virtues. However, he had been in office for so many years. When he entered Zhixiyuan, he had been dealing with the Minister of Revenue Fang Dun for a long time. How could he not understand the importance of money?

"It's just dusk, it's not dark, you're yawning, you're sleepy?" Xu Wei pointed at Qian Yuan, "Don't matter if you are real or not, you were the big mediators you and Brother Wenzhong, so I'll leave this to you!"

Seeing Qian Yuan's inquiring eyes, Sun Jian explained helplessly: "The Gao family wants to go out to sea... but the report is not done, and the ships of the Pan family in Xinchang..."

"It must be reported." Qian Yuan understood immediately, "The ships are all numbered, and it doesn't matter if they lend them to others, but the Gao family... was banned from going to sea for three months."

The Gao family bribed the officials of Zhenhai County's households, resulting in the officials being beheaded, the Gao family was fined and banned from going to sea for three months. This incident made Xu Wei lose face in Suiyuan... Of course, this was what he thought.

Now that he is going to go overseas to sell goods in violation of regulations, Xu Wei is speechless. Is it so much for money?

"My brother-in-law came to the door, and Brother Wen was so angry... he couldn't scold him back." Sun Jian spread his hands, "Pan Siming didn't know about this, but Bo Mao was still tied with him."

"You did a good thing!" Xu Wei pointed at Xian Yu's nose, "I'll interfere with this kind of messy thing. Isn't the money paid for the restaurant enough for you to spend?"

Xian Yu's face turned red and he jumped out of his seat, "I don't have the cash!"

"Okay!" Qian Yuan shouted: "Bomao, you don't know that Brother Wen's mouth is so angry that he is in trouble for you to interfere in Southeast Commercial Affairs!"

"It is not a taboo to interfere in Southeast commercial affairs, but it is taboo to use this illegal means." Sun Yan added: "I set up a city to trade and did not accept a bribe in it, because I was afraid of causing trouble, so you just came over!"

"Forget it, stop talking about him." Qian Yuan said casually: "Let me go back and let Brother Yu Chen have a good chat with him."

Xian Yu immediately turned down like a balloon with a needle poked. What he feared the most was Tao Dalin, who was like his father and brother.

Qian Yuan looked around helplessly. Such a broken thing... but there was no way, this kind of broken thing would only increase in the future.

Everyone is a Southeast scholar, all ethnic groups are local tyrants, and they are all local tyrants. In order to enhance Suiyuan's centripetal force and cohesion, Qian Yuan deliberately lets all the families participate in the maritime trade... Even the Lin family in Min County got a share of the pie in Xiamen.

Sun Yan changed the topic, Yang Quan, Lin Qiang, Lu Shude, and Zhou Shi came to have a meal one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became loose.

"First, let's have a bowl of mung bean soup. The watermelons are cut there, they are all frozen in the well!"

"Stop eating, I can't even eat later."

"What ice cubes do you want? Be careful to get rid of your stomach."

After a mess, everyone sat down and chatted on the stone table and benches in the yard. Only Lu Shude and Lin Feng were still gnawing on the watermelon.

"Brother Deng is here." Qian Yuan saw Chen Younian coming in with a sharp eyes and said with a smile: "Hurry up, the watermelon is eaten by Zhenyao and Cheng is left with only a few pieces."

Yang Quan slapped Lu Shude on the back of the head, grabbed the last piece and handed it to Chen Younian, "Brother Deng Zhi, I heard that the Ministry of Revenue is praised now. Hu Kerou doesn't let Zhan Cai be more beautiful than before?"

"Uh..." Chen Younian ate two bites of watermelon first before laughing: "Mr. Li'an said it personally, and he specially found Chen, word by word..."

"Hahaha……"

Among the people, Xu Wei laughed loudly, Sun Yan narrowed his eyes into a slit and smiled slightly. Some of the others were thinking, some shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and some were angry.

Qian Yuan saw Chen Younian's glance at the sight and reached out to show his mercy. The officials who went south to inspect the sweet potato incident, including Sun Ying, who was appointed as the magistrate of Zhenhai, had five people. In addition to Sun Ying, Huang Maoguan, and Hu Yingjia himself, there were two others, one was Lu Yipeng who went to Xiamen, and the other was Chen Younian.

Unlike others, Chen Younian was the backbone of Suiyuan. He went south to inspect and went north to Beijing to travel with Hu Yingjia. He was even assigned by Qian Yuan to ease his relationship with Hu Yingjia on his way back to Beijing... Later, Qian Yuan took over this line after returning to Beijing, and Sun Jian and Xu Wei also knew about it.

Therefore, Chen Younian knew that Qian Yuan was at least involved in Hu Yingjia's various actions in the southeast.

"Speaking of this, Zhang Mengnan is quite in a loss." Lin Feng threw away the watermelon peel, "It's been a few months and I haven't taken the position yet. It's better to go to Ningbo."

The position of the six ministries is not low. The position of being a prefect is the prefect, and the minister is the minister. Zhang Mengnan was forced to be stuffed into the Ministry of Justice by Gao Gong a few months ago, because only the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Revenue have the Thirteen Qing Literature and at least thirteen doctors.

But Feng Tianyu, the Minister of Justice, was Xu Jie's party. Anyway, Zhang Mengnan angered Gao Gong, so he naturally would not arrange it. Lin Feng and Zhang Mengnan were both Jinshi and also served in the Ministry of Justice. Naturally, they could see clearly that Zhang Mengnan was quite angry.

"I heard that Gao Xinzheng was furious at the beginning. It happened that the Ministry of Justice is now in Huating's hands..." Yang Quan whispered: "Zhang Yuansi is noble in character and does not attach to the powerful. Although he has no position, he still pays Mao every day and never misses his job."

Xu Wei laughed, and a sensational laughter rang around him.

Qian Yuan looked at Yang Quan helplessly, "Brother Chaoyang is pointing to the mulberry and scolding the locust?"

"Everyone knows that it's a slander, what else do you ask?"

Regarding absences... No one in the court officials may be comparable to Qian Yuan. From returning to Beijing to now, he has done almost nothing except going to Shanxi to check sweet potatoes and potatoes. He used to be in the Censorate. He always had to go to Dianmao once or twice every seven or eight days, and entered the Zhanshi Mansion... He has only been there once in more than a year. Anyway, except him, the officials of the Zhanshi Mansion have their own responsibilities.

However, Qian Yuan was very thick-skinned and just pretended that he didn't hear it.

Sun Jian turned the topic back, "If you take care of the garden, you may be adding fuel to the fire."

"This is the temper of Gao Xinzheng." Zhou Shi suddenly said: "After the tax and silver accounts entered Beijing, it is said that the cabinet disputes continued..."

The yard was quiet for a moment, and everyone present knew that Zhang Mengnan was noble in character, but he ruined Gao Gong's major event.

If the Ningbo prefect failed a few months ago, Gao Gong wanted to see the good show between Xu Jie and Sui Yuan, but after waiting for the tax and silver accounts to enter Beijing for three months, he could not bear it anymore.

Hu Yingjia successfully took charge of business affairs, first refreshed the administration of officials, and even cut off the household officials of Zhenhai County. Later, he set up a Hai City in Hangzhou to gather all the merchants in the world. The amount of tax and silver increased sharply, which also caused Xu Jie to recover a considerable disadvantage in the cabinet. Even now, Xu Jie's influence on the Ministry of Revenue is increasing.
