Chapter 573: T-Juan Control

Feng Ziying's eyes followed the movement of the carriage and looked at the street through the window. It seemed that after returning to the capital this time, she suddenly became a little unfamiliar with the city of Yangzhou, but she was afraid that she would have to stay in Yangzhou for a long time. It's time.

“Wen Yan, there are a lot of things to do, I’m afraid you all have to be busy.” After pondering for a while, Feng Ziying answered Wang Wenyan’s question, “Wu Yaoqing does a good job, meticulous and thoughtful,…”

 Wang Wenyan was not modest about Feng Ziying's praise.

Wu Yaoqing was also recommended by him. Wang Wenyan knew his abilities and personality well, and he was worthy of Feng Ziying's praise.

“Everyone is looking forward to, well, the affairs of the Lianghuai River Salt Envoy Si Yamen...” Wang Wenyan hesitated for a moment, and Feng Ziying immediately noticed something keenly, “What’s wrong?”

"There are some rumors from the outside world, mainly because Mr. Lin is currently ill and bedridden. Well, there are rumors that the court may soon send a new salt patrol censor to replace Mr. Lin. There are also some thoughts in the Yamen..."

Feng Ziying couldn't help but smile coldly. Before she arrived in Yangzhou, someone started to stumble here.

Of course this is not just for Lin Ruhai, but for my trip to Yangzhou.

Before Lin Ruhai passed away, it was impossible for the court to send a new salt patrol censor, of which Feng Ziying was sure.

Although no clear information was obtained from Emperor Yonglong, based on the information learned from all aspects, the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Yonglong had great differences in this candidate, or it should be said that they were interested in the future salt envoys of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River. There are big differences in the ownership and use of Yamen's income.

This benefit is so great that even Emperor Yonglong, who has always wanted to be patient and make concessions, may not be able to accept it.

 But he had to accept it even if he couldn't accept it. Before he could fully control the military power inside and outside the capital, he had to endure it no matter what. But by procrastinating like this, he could buy himself some time.

"Well, Wen Yan, don't worry, I'm prepared." Feng Ziying's tone remained unchanged, "Those clowns, if anyone jumps high, you might as well write it down first. There will always be a time to settle accounts. It's not appropriate to alarm Mr. Lin for the time being. , he is in poor health, you still have to work harder on many things, both sides have to do things, and neither side can be left behind."

 Hearing what Feng Ziying said, Wang Wenyan felt at ease.

 He didn’t explain it thoroughly, but Feng Ziying understood it instantly, which meant that he had been mentally prepared for it.

Once the new salt patrol censor is coming soon, and without the support of Si Yamen, the salt transport envoy in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, this group of people will no longer be able to do many things. Now it seems that the situation is not like our own. As bad as imagined.

Wang Wenyan was naturally unable to detect the high-level games in the imperial court. For example, the confrontation, confrontation and even the final compromise between the Supreme Emperor and Yonglong Emperor were not at Wang Wenyan's level. The final result was difficult for Wang Wenyan to judge, but he only needed to know As long as your future new owner is prepared.

"Please don't worry, Master. We are all well-versed in the Yamen Department of Salt Transfer, so we can't spend so much energy now. However, Master, your requirements are relatively high, and the areas involved are too wide, so you need to put some thought into it. In addition, There will probably be a lot of people on both sides of the head and the rat, and it may not be as easy as the young master expected..."

Feng Ziying laughed and said, "Don't worry, there is still some time. I came to Yangzhou this time in accordance with the emperor's decree and the cabinet's decree. It was not because of my whims or to go out privately. Well, if it weren't for the recent reorganization of the Chinese Calligraphy Department and the heavy workload, I'm afraid I have to bring a few people from Zhongshushe with me."

 “Huh?!” Wang Wenyan was shocked.

Although he was born as a petty official, he had been working in the Yamen of the Capital Salt Envoy Bureau for so many years. Especially after learning that he might follow Feng Ziying in the future, he had a deeper understanding of the various rules and regulations of the imperial court. Naturally, he understood the Chinese The regulation and weight of books.

This is a typical low-status but very special department, because its status and functions are somewhat the same as those of the Hanlin Academy and the General Affairs Department, and are more similar to the emperor's imperial edict-issuing institution in the palace, and the Hanlin Academy. The Yuan and the General Administration Department were subordinate to the imperial court, with slight differences from the cabinet, but directly to the emperor.

This institution was marginalized in the pre-Ming Dynasty. It was once highly valued during the reigns of Emperor Taihe and Emperor Guangyuan, and it was expected to return to the status of Zhongshu Jian Zhongshu Ling in the Tang Dynasty. However, it was soon idle in the later years of Emperor Guangyuan.

Since Emperor Tianping, this institution has become a place to arrange the children of important ministers. It is noble and leisurely, and can even occasionally ask questions about the royal family. Therefore, it is also a place where many children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries want to go.

It's just that there are too few positions for Shushe people among them, and the requirements for their parents are higher. Children below the Sixth Book of Secretaries are not considered at all, so many people want to be admitted but are not allowed to enter.

“Young master, you are saying that the imperial court has repositioned the Chinese calligraphy department. Well, is it no longer the same as before in terms of functions and powers?”

Wang Wenyan’s responsiveness made Feng Ziying very satisfied.

"Since there is a need for readjustment, it must be different from the past. However, don't misunderstand classical Chinese. It cannot be restored to what it was like in the former Tang Dynasty Zhongshu Province. My senior official will be appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue, in charge of the Zhongshu Department. I have to be responsible for the entire opening of the sea in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and I am going south this time because of the official wishes, so Wen Yan doesn't have to worry too much."

This reassurance finally made Wang Wenyan calm down.

 The right minister of household affairs is in charge of secretarial affairs, which means that the imperial court is really going to comprehensively promote the opening of the sea, and Feng Ziying can even directly raise this flag openly without anyone daring to question it.

“That’s great, Mr. Lin can feel relieved.” Wang Wenyan felt relieved.

Although I had great trust in Feng Ziying before, I still trusted Feng Ziying's ability and Lin Ruhai's support. However, for a Hanlin Academy editor from the sixth grade, to be honest, their team, including Wang Wenyan, did not trust Feng Ziying. Still a little worried about the future.

Although Feng Ziying has a bright future and he proposed the strategy of opening up the sea, what about the specific implementation? This is the key.

Such a large and complex matter naturally involves unlimited resources and derived power. What kind of position Feng Ziying can occupy in it and how many resources can be obtained are the most important.

Lin Ruhai can give Feng Ziying everything he wants for the rest of his life, but what about the continuation in the future?

 Even if you can afford to support the entire team, so what?

 If everything you do is useless, or the results will not be seen until several years or even ten years later, then no one can persist for such a long time, including Feng Ziying herself, I am afraid.

 This is also what Wang Wenyan is most worried about.

 But now the problem is solved.

Feng Ziying could feel that the atmosphere in the entire carriage seemed to be much more relaxed, and he could understand it.

Just one or two months of contact, and you can make people bow to you. Even if you are a scholar selected by the Imperial Academy and a editor of the Hanlin Academy, even if Lin Ruhai guarantees you, it still won't work.

 No one would leave his fate to a stranger easily.

Although people like Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing have performed very well during this period, while they are performing well, they are also observing whether they can come up with something convincing.

 Power, resources, status, influence, and of course money, are all.

Wu Yaoqing saw that he could enter and leave Prince Zhongshun's palace at will and settle matters in the capital city. Now Wang Wenyan understood that his identity had also undergone subtle changes. With some of the original things added, the team's cohesion could be accelerated.

"Wen Yan, the salt transfer from the Huaihe River to the Huaihe River allows us to temporarily borrow the house next to the Si Yamen. I plan to temporarily borrow the land to work. Well, there is no need to publicize it to the outside world. Just let everyone understand it tacitly." Feng Ziying smiled and stretched out her hand. Lazy said, "I think the official documents from the imperial court will be sent to the Yamen of Yangzhou Prefecture and the Salt Transfer Envoy in the capital soon. Well, it's time for us to get busy next."

  ************

Lin Ruhai read the letter and Geng Tie sent up with satisfaction and put them aside.

 At this point, the marriage has basically come to an end.

 Qi Yongtai had already sent a letter in the early stage, which was regarded as an introduction as a matchmaker. After he replied to the letter and approved it, Feng Ziying sent a letter from his home, a letter from his family, and a betrothal gift.

Although it is a bit hasty and simple, it is urgent and does not care about much. As long as the basic etiquette procedures are followed, it is not considered rude.

I don't know how long my body can survive. Maybe a month, maybe ten days, maybe three months. Now that this worry is gone, I can rest in peace.

"Ziying, your master's letter has arrived a long time ago, and I have also replied to it. Well, I will also reply to this letter as soon as possible. Daiyu's Gengmei will also be exchanged and sent to your home. Well, this matter Even if there is a result."

Lin Ruhai was in a good mood, with a smile on his face, and his voice was even louder than usual.

"Uncle, there is no need to worry. Judging from my nephew's complexion, it will be fine in the short term."

This disease is indeed largely related to people’s mood.

Like Lin Ruhai, maybe he has one thing on his mind, so he won't let go until the matter is resolved. Maybe as soon as he feels that something is wrong, he will be sad if his breath goes away.

 Or maybe this matter has been resolved, you will be in a good mood, your physical condition will be much better, and you will be able to live longer.

 It’s all possible.

But according to Feng Ziying's observation, although Lin Ruhai's complexion is worse than before he left Yangzhou, he does not look like he is about to run out of gas. This is a good thing for him.

As long as his situation is maintained, the battle between the Supreme Emperor and Emperor Yonglong will be so exhausting. Both sides have to be a little wary that Lin Ruhai is still around, so they will not be so urgent, and he can just use this time to fully accept Lin Ruhai. resources in hand.

 It used to be that I was just a short-term editor of the Hanlin Academy, and many things were not justified, but now it is different. With the brand of Kaihai Affairs, I can operate with ease.
