Chapter 1140: Appetite

Qiu Xiaoyuan's resume is very innocent.

But what surprised Tianyou and Zuo Cheng was that although he came from a poor family, he did not attend for free, but the Guo family spent money to study at Lotus Academy.

Cangzhou is a distance from the capital and Qingyuan.

The Qiu family's ancestors were from three generations, and no one was a Beijing official, so there would be no interaction with the Cao family.

Tianyou and Zuo Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. The only thing they were worried about was Changsheng. Is there anything wrong with Changsheng and the fat man in the Guo family that made his cousin dissatisfied and vented his anger on everyone.

Tianyou and Zuo Cheng looked for an excuse and went to Changsheng Academy several times. Fatty Guo was happy and was not a scheming person. Changsheng had a peaceful relationship with him, and the two were still very close.

After indirectly speaking, he also knew that Qiu Xiaoyuan was a book-only person. Even if his cousin had a good relationship with the governor's younger brother, he was still cold and did not stick to it.

It is not uncommon for scholars who have identities and are lonely in the Lotus Academy.

Tianyou and Zuo Chengru left this matter behind and no longer took it to heart.

However, Changsheng, although he was young and grew up with his family, was a handsome man.

When he noticed that Qiu Xiaoyuan had bad luck with his nephews, he was careful and often tricked Guo Yuan to tell his cousin. After listening, he was just a taciturn nerd and was not very close to anyone.

Guo Yuan has a simple personality. Seeing that the Cao family's senior brothers were dealing with him with a warm attitude, they were not arrogant, so he felt embarrassed to hold a grudge against them about their cousin behind their backs. Instead, he blamed himself for being petty...

It was already mid-May when Tang Zhiyu returned to Qingyuan.

After leaving Jinghai, he patrolled Cangzhou again and then returned to Qingyuan.

When he came to the Governor's Office to invite him, he did not mention the impeachment of Guo Yiyu again.

After not seeing each other for half a month, Tang Zhiyu became much darker, his eyes were flickering, but he looked very clean.

"The two glass workshops in Cangzhou have been built and started, just near the canal wharf. The supporting fruit and vegetable processing workshops are also similar, and construction can be started before the end of the month." Tang Zhiyu was very excited when talking about Cangzhou.

In this era, transportation is inconvenient.

Cao Yong placed the focus of Zhili's economic development not on Qingyuan, where the governor's yamen is located, but on Cangzhou, where the water transportation is most convenient.

"The officials of the Ministry of Internal Affairs intervened in these places, so it would be better if they didn't cause trouble in the local area. Otherwise, it would be a matter of benefiting the people, but it would harm the people." Cao Yong said.

"Although the person who took the lead was from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, there were two deputy officers, one was an officer of the Governor's Office, and the other was from the Cangzhou official office. The three parties were restrained and the rules were set, so it was not easy to cause trouble." Tang Zhiyu said.

Cao Yong nodded and said, "It's good that this is the case. Although the Ministry of Internal Affairs has withdrawn 40% of the profits, no one dares to reach out with this sign."

The remaining 60% are half of them into the provincial vassal treasury, and half are included in the prefecture and county treasury.

The current glass workshop is just an initial plan. Cao Yong means to build Cangzhou into a food processing base. The fruits, fungi, wild game and vegetables in Zhili are made into dried and fresh canned food, and are supplied to Beijing in the north and going to Liangjiang in the south, which can be regarded as the opening source of taxes in Zhili.

After talking about the business, Tang Zhiyu took the initiative to mention the disposal of the Li family in Jinghai without waiting for Cao Yong to ask.

Unlike Cao Yong's imagination, Tang Zhiyu was obviously showing mercy and only confiscated several shops that Li Pengju had usually managed to deal with, fined some silver, and did not use thunder methods.

This is because Tang Zhiyu usually acts differently. Cao Yong felt it was strange. After thinking about it, he asked, "The boss of the Li family asked someone to talk about the matter from the capital?"

Tang Zhiyu nodded and said, "I asked Xiaguan to write a letter from the same year, saying that I would like to protect the Li family's decent no matter what.

The son-in-law of the Li family has been dismissed from office for "slack work". If this third brother really imposed a punishment, it will have an impact on the career of the two other officials of the Li family.

The head of the Li family also came from the imperial examination. He had to put it in the six departments for a few years. His future was still good, so he was nervous.

Seeing Tang Zhiyu's answer openly and a hint of smile, Cao Yong asked, "How much is the fine for confiscation?"

"The fine is 2,000 taels of silver... In addition, the Li family also took the initiative to donate 30,000 taels of silver, and several shops that were admitted to the official, and the official sold 4,000 taels of silver... The official had already sent someone to bring the 34,000 taels of silver, and asked the adults to check it and then enter the vassal treasury..." Tang Zhiyu said, taking out a string of copper keys from his sleeve and sending it to Cao Yong.

Cao Yong was stunned when he heard this.

Isn’t this so-called proactive “pending” the prototype of the “crime-official silver” promoted by Heshen of the Qianlong Dynasty?

Looking at Tang Zhiyu with a square face, Cao Yong felt that he should be treated with admiration for three days after leaving, but he didn't expect him to deal with this matter like this.

Seeing Cao Yong's accident, Tang Zhiyu explained: "It was not because the subordinates gave Li Pengju a break because of the same year. It was actually Li Pengju's crime, and the heavy sentence was just a waste. With the foundation of the two sons of the Li family, even if they were sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to be sentenced to avoid being sent to the ransom. It would be better to use this to enrich the vassal treasury. If there is any inappropriateness, please teach me?"

Cao Yong looked full of admiration and said, "It's not that I feel it's inappropriate, but I didn't expect Yigong to be so flexible. Although this is very affordable, if you are not careful, you will have to bear the reputation of "ranspelling for the place". Among them, Yigong must be carefully grasped. The relevant accounts must be clear and can withstand the investigation of the superiors, so as to avoid villains and harm yourself."

In the officialdom, the most common thing is criticism.

Tang Zhiyu's move was to bury himself a small disaster. Maybe when it was revealed, it would be a mistake.

When Tang Zhiyu heard this, he knew that Cao Yong was caring for him. He was very grateful and stood up and said, "Please give me more advice, and the subordinates will do their best!"

Tang Zhiyu has been in office for more than 20 years, and he has a good idea. He has realized that to achieve this, because the burden on the Zhili vassal treasury was too heavy, and Cao Yong had to burn every previous plan.

Thinking of this, Cao Yong felt a little guilty and said to Tang Zhiyu: "Is the money in the vassal treasury tight? I heard that the river corpses are coming to urge for money again. If you feel it is difficult, I will think of a solution."

Tang Zhiyu shook his head and said, "Because there was a surplus in the vassal warehouse last year, it's still fine now. It's just that the river is cleared, mainly during the transition from autumn and winter. At that time, there is a lot of money to be used, which may be difficult."

Cao Yong thought for a while and said, "How much profit can Cangzhou be? I'm not sure. I'll think of a way to raise another silver before autumn."

Tang Zhiyu knew Cao Yong's methods, and when he heard that he said this, he felt relieved.

In the first half of this year, the river engineer has used 200,000 taels of silver, and will have to spend 400,000 taels of silver in the second half of this year. It will be very difficult to rely solely on local taxes.

In addition, Cao Yong had already mentioned that a sum of money would be paid for recruiting soldiers in June, which is not a small amount.

He was not a magistrate, but a magistrate who was not a magistrate, but a magistrate who was a magistrate in the officialdom step by step with his early military achievements.

Cao Yong only mentioned a few words, and he understood what Cao Yong meant. He said nicely. In order to avoid his connection, he personally went to investigate the affairs of Tianjin Wei, but in fact he asked him to investigate the family of Tianjin Wei Qianhu...

After Shoucheng left the Governor's Mansion, his face suddenly drooped.
