Chapter 1774 The God of Wealth

   After pondering for a long time, Huang Ruliang did not dare to agree. Neither he nor Zhang Huaichang could make the decision, and the cabinet had to study collectively before daring to make a decision.

  This involves the most important expenditure of the imperial court in the next ten years. The scale is too large, and it also affects many interests, so we have to be cautious.

  However, he was really reluctant to give up this opportunity, and nodded: "Ziying, I have no objection to this matter, but the cabinet has to decide, but I will suggest to Ye Xiang and the others, and then may what you said come true?"

   "Of course." Feng Ziying had previously communicated with the Shanxi businessman in a letter.

Shanxi merchants are also very aware of the current plight of the imperial court. Once the imperial court loses to Nanjing, the power of Shanshan merchants will be completely suppressed by those merchants in Longyou, Dongting, and Huizhou. This is absolutely unacceptable to them, so even if they come out In this regard, they also have to fully support the court.

  One or two million taels of silver is not a problem for Shanshan merchants. The existence of Haitong Yinzhuang is also a deposit, and lending to the court can also have greater protection of interests. Why not do it?

  Now Shanshan merchants really have no shortage of silver, not to mention one or two million taels, but three to five million vehicles, or even more, they can afford it.

  The old wealth accumulated in Shanshan and Shaanxi for hundreds of years is no worse than that of Jiangnan merchants. The silver in the silver cellar can scare people to death.

  Feng Ziying knows this better than anyone else. When Haitong Yinzhuang was established, the group of businessmen were a bit blind and didn’t spend much, but now it’s too late to regret it.

"Okay." Huang Ruliang gritted his teeth and nodded, "I will definitely do my best to facilitate this matter, and I will borrow two million taels of silver. It is decided, Ziying, what other skills are there. Let's talk about it together. No matter how difficult or dangerous the conditions are, just talk about it.”

"My lord, how can you be so exaggerated? What you say is like asking you to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire." Feng Ziying smiled, "I also said it before, Xishan Kiln, if you move at the right time, there will naturally be people willing Come to volunteer, the court has not received a single penny in the 10 or 20 years of digging in vain, shouldn’t it be made up? It’s fine if you don’t make up, so should it be resold? This shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

  Huang Ruliang's complexion changed, this is the root cause of many wealthy families in the capital city, Feng Ziying is really cruel and vicious.

Feng Ziying could guess Huang Ruliang's thoughts, and smiled: "Ming Qigong, if you feel that the court's actions will hinder the clear discussion, or if you are afraid of causing unnecessary disputes, how about authorizing us to Shuntian Prefecture? As long as the Ministry of Industry authorizes, the Metropolitan Procuratorate Cooperate, we will come from Shuntian Mansion as the main target, I, Feng Ziying, have no other skills, but I still have this strong point, I am not afraid of offending people, how about it?"

  Huang Ruliang glared at Feng Ziying bitterly, can the court open this hole? This guy is forcing the palace.

   If you really want to leave this kind of thing to Shuntian Prefecture, those newspapers don't know how to hype it. What is the majesty of the court?

   "Okay, stop yelling there, it's a big matter, and the court has its own measure." Huang Ruliang responded.

"What's the big deal? Ming Qi Gong, in my opinion, this is a good time to start this matter. Aren't the people in the Ministry of Punishment eyeing that Captain Long and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are investigating and prosecuting the rebellious families? Xishan Kiln, When it was handed over to them, there are still many intertwined connections between the two, just to clean up these messy things in Beijing, and it can also teach many people a lesson,..."

Feng Ziying shook her head again and again, "Don't be afraid of any turmoil in people's hearts. I am the Prime Minister of Shuntianfu. I know the situation below. The people's hearts are not on their side. The greatest wish of the people in Gyeonggi is to live in peace and stability this winter and next spring, and have enough food. Stomach, wearing cotton clothes, as long as these two points are guaranteed, no matter what anyone wants to do is useless!"

  Huang Ruliang glanced at Zhang Huaichang who had been silent all this time, feeling a little moved.

What Feng Ziying said is quite reasonable. Most of the forces behind Xishan kiln are mainly Wu Xun, and Wu Xun is also the group that has been involved in the Nanjing puppet dynasty this time, such as Niu Wang Jia Shi and the four kings, eight gongs and ten men. Among the Erhou, many of them are related to the Xuanfu Army, Datong Army, Denglai Army and Huaiyang Army. It is also the right time to take advantage of this opportunity to clean up.

   "Brother Huaichang, what's your opinion?" Huang Ruliang wanted to attract more allies while being moved.

   To convince the cabinet ministers, the Beidi gang must be recruited.

  Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is Liu Yixiu, Huang Ruliang is sure, and Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials Gao Panlong is also a dignified person and a scholar from the south of the Yangtze River, so it is easy to persuade. If Zhang Huaichang also supports it, Huang Ruliang will be more sure.

"With the money and food in the household department, the court will not panic." Zhang Huaichang pondered for a moment, "This winter and next spring, there will be a large number of refugees from the north. There must be enough money and food to deal with it.”

Didn't say it clearly, but the implication was obvious, Huang Ruliang was certain in his heart, and nodded: "Okay, I understand this matter, and what's more, Ziying, today you will shake the bezoar and horse treasure in your stomach Come out? Let us see the ability that all the ministers in the cabinet are full of praise for."

   "Ming Qi's reputation is too high, I still have some knowledge, but now I don't have much confidence, and I have to wait for a while, but don't worry, you two, after all, there will be some gains in the end, just big or small." Feng Ziying said with certainty.

   "How long to wait? How big is the big one, and how small is the small one?" Huang Ruliang was not so easily fooled by Feng Ziying.

   "Well, in January and February, there is no cap for going up, and if you go down, I'm afraid there are two or three million taels of silver." Feng Ziying grinned.

   "Really?" Both Huang Ruliang and Zhang Huaichang cheered up. This guy is really capable. Two to three million taels of silver come out of his mouth, it's like dirt, and you can have as much as you want.

   "How dare I lie in front of the two adults?" Feng Ziying said seriously.

"Okay, with your words, I will believe it." Huang Ruliang breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully calculated in his heart. If this is the case, the pressure on the household department will be reduced a lot. It is a discount. All in all, that can support it.

  Feng Ziying was finally able to escape from the Ministry of War. This time, he was stopped by these two for so long, and he did a lot of things that had nothing to do with his job as the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion. He was born to be a hard worker.

  After Feng Ziying left, Huang Ruliang discussed with Zhang Huaichang.

   "Tomorrow, Feng Ziying is really a God of Wealth. You have squeezed a lot out of him." If Zhang Huaichang had deep meaning, "The right servant of your household department can definitely let him do it."

Huang Ruliang said indifferently: "What is squeezed or not? Brother Huaichang, you still don't understand, even without me, he would take the initiative to take out these things. The foundation of the Feng family is in the imperial court. It's over, so he must spare no effort, so I never doubt this."

"Yeah, which one of us is not in the court at all?" Zhang Huaichang said leisurely: "If we really want to be captured by the Nanjing puppet court, is there a stage for us? Anyway, I am not willing to step down from office in such a disheveled manner. Yes, as long as the Jianzhou Jurchens are not destroyed, I will not feel at ease!"

Zhang Huaichang is from Liaodong, and what he never forgets is to restore the entire domain of the former Ming Nuer Gandusi, and bring the entire Mongolian Jurchen under the rule of the Great Zhou. Even North Korea and Japan should prostrate at the feet of the Great Zhou. How can it be like now? It dares to show its teeth and claws in such a tiny place around.

Huang Ruliang knew this group of northerners very well. The invasion from the northern nomads always threatened the safety of their hometown, but people from the south of the Yangtze River like them were far less deeply aware of it. Junzhen's investment has always been unswerving, which makes it difficult for them, the Jiangnan scholars, to accept it.

  Over the years, the conflicts and discords between the two parties have continued, and they can only continue to compromise.

   But for now, everyone is unprecedentedly consistent in their attitude towards the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty.

Scholars in the Central and Southern Dynasties knew that there was no place for them. It was related to their personal and family interests, and they must not compromise. However, the scholars in the North believed that the Nanjing Puppet Dynasty was in power, and the interests of the North would be ignored. They must not be compromised. Accept, so this point is like-minded and united with enemies.

  Since she came to the Sixth Ministry, Feng Ziying decided not to go home in a hurry, and went to the Ministry of Officials again.

  With Xia Jiayu's help, the efficiency of the Ministry of Officials is also much higher. Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, and Wu Sheng's resignation procedures are going very quickly, and it is expected to be completed within two or three days, which is beyond Feng Ziying's imagination.

  He thought it would be at least ten days and a half months. It seems that the efficiency of the Great Zhou court is not that it cannot be improved, but that it depends on who does what.

   There are vacancies in Dacheng and Dong'an counties, but there are still some troubles for the other candidates who I want to adjust.

  Although he, Zhang Jingqiu, and Qiao Yingjia have also reported it, but the procedures for the Metropolitan Procuratorate are not so simple. They need to investigate and verify, and they will not just listen to their own family.

   But even so, Feng Ziying was satisfied.

Dacheng and Dong'an counties will be arranged, and it doesn't matter if the other county waits a little longer. He believes that he raised the issue of the three states and counties, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will give him an explanation to adjust one or two counties. no problem.

But the Metropolitan Procuratorate still has to keep an eye on it, and can't be negligent. There are a lot of people in this group, but they don't get angry when they are doing serious things. They are very good at playing lip service and criticizing each other. The trend of development in this direction has to be beaten frequently.

This matter was explained to Fang Youdu, and he was asked to go to several Du Yushi, Deputy Du Yushi, and Qiandu Yushi to yell and remind him, complain and make suggestions from time to time. Some effects can also help these people to follow their own intentions as soon as possible. This is the reason why someone in the court is good at being an official, and it is also Feng Ziying's purpose for keeping Fang Youdu in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
