Chapter 320
Liu Ting, the general of Zhenjiang, was transferred by Liu Zhiyuan to assist. In theory, Jia Cong and Liu Zhiyuan were on par and were both responsible for supervision. Jia Cong passed Liu Ting's memorial to him. What does it mean? Jaswen didn't have to think about it and knew that this was trying to win him over.
It can be said that Jia Cong's move is too risky. Jiangnan has a wealth of cultural heritage, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, there are many wealthy families, and powerful landlords often have marriages. Many people claim to be romantic and upright, but in fact they have a deep understanding of the world. Many people in the Jiangzuo League have a very low chance of repairing Jia Cong.
There are many upright people in Jiangnan, who value fame and life, but not everyone is the same. At that time, Donglin Fushe turned against each other because of personal grudges. For example, Yang Tingshu, the founder of Fushe, drove away many of his fellow disciples.
Jaswen is a very smart person. Jia Cong said so much nonsense to this smart person, and everything is indifferent.
If Liu Ting reveals this matter, the salt inspector and the salt transport commander will be responsible.
Although Jia Cong did not gain the upper hand at the beginning, his starting line was not low. The Ministry of Revenue Assisted by Jiangsu Qingli Office, the cabinet and others had worked hard.
The key emperor also supported the collection of salt tax later, and Jia Cong's real purpose was to suppress the salt price and prevent the capital from dominating the dominance of the capital.
If Jasvin does not compromise, he may be dismissed from office.
But Jaswen speculated that Jia Cong was not much better. Since Jia Cong came forward to resist head-on, he would definitely offend the forces behind some salt merchants.
The essence of Yangzhou's salt administration reform is, on the surface, a fluctuation in salt prices, but in fact it is a reshuffle of several forces.
Jia Cong's methods were not shallow. He retained and won over the largest Shen Sanguan, and also recruited many restaurants to obey under Liu Zhiyuan's command.
Even if he was impeached, Jia Cong's life could be saved from beginning to end, because Jia Cong cleverly gave the credit to Liu Zhiyuan and gave the blame to Liu Zhiyuan, but Jia Cong only gave himself a good reputation among the people.
A smart man like Jasvin will not give up his interests just because of his own opinions and stubborn views.
Therefore, the favors Jia Cong sold at this time also caused fluctuations in his heart.
From Jia Cong's words, he is not the Censor of the Salt Survey, and he has to leave after the salt tax comes up. His meaning is to show that we can cooperate well. As long as we cooperate, you can hold your seat and work together for the people of the court. I don't care if you are greedy, but I won't get a penny of money here afterwards.
From Jaswen's opinion, this is a decision that cannot be made at once. He is sure that Jia Cong will be impeached, and Lu Zemin and Zhang Fenyi will not give up, but he is not sure what Jia Cong will do. Who knows whether the emperor listened to Liu Zhiyuan and supported Jia Cong? Or did he punish Jia Cong in order to calm the situation?
These are all unknown.
And he himself accepted the compromise and represented the change of camp. It was hard to say that his future journey was difficult to say, but it was destined to become enemies with the Jiangzuo Alliance. Those people would not let him go. If he did not accept the compromise, then just take Jia Cong's stick obediently...
Jia Cong gave him a very difficult question...
"Well... I am worthy of being the top scholar, I am indeed treacherous..." Jaswen sat on the chair of the Grand Master, leaned his head back, and looked at the painted beams and wood that had been laid for hundreds of years in the Censor's Office in confusion. What should I do?
I can only say that Jia Cong saw through him that Jaswen was not a real gentleman, on the contrary, they were the same people.
...
"Thank you for your hard work..." Jia Cong looked at Miaoyu and Guan Chaosheng with relief. His injuries were almost healed.
Miaoyu changed her Taoist robe and went on the deck. If she continued to wear Taoist or Buddhist clothes, it would bring her a lot of convenience. The novel "The Legend of Awakening the World" said, what is the best woman in ancient times?
The answer is to be a sister-in-law.
Because my sister-in-law can go anywhere, she can only rely on the official family, the official family, the wealthy family, the poor family, and even the royal family, the palace.
Bian Yujing is the best example.
Even if there are rumors with the officials, what can we do? Everyone can see through it and not say it out loud, and they will not force people to death... To a certain extent, this is a normal situation.
So Jia Cong brought Miaoyu, and such a beautiful woman, many officials would like to be interested in it.
"You shouldn't have come." Miaoyu sighed in the cabin.
At this time, salt tickets were basically operated among the agents of salt merchants. The price of salt tickets was increased and the private salt was inspected. Liu Zhiyuan's tax was charged at least several million. This was just the salt administration, not counting anything else. Jia Cong touched his chin and thought for a while and said, "It is certain that he was impeached, but he will not die. At most, he will be dismissed from office and has the opportunity to be appointed. I don't regret it. Moreover, King Yu has been recalled. It is believed that the weather should change this year."
Liu Xianglian was about to speak outside the door but stopped, and it was about to fall after autumn. How about Xue Pan? Will the emperor behead him?
At first, Liu Xianglian hated Xue Pan the most and beat him up. However, Xue Pan is usually a bully and treats friends with great loyalty. Liu Xianglian has long since stopped blaming him.
I thought Jia Cong was plagued by various matters, so Liu Xianglian stopped asking.
"The trend of changing the sky is not something that Dongwen can control, but what Dongwen did adds a lot of points to the impression that Prince Yu had in the emperor's mind. Prince Yu has never been out of order when he went out for inspection. Perhaps Dongwen has worked so much, so it should not be as powerful as an ancient Taoist book."
"During the Taiping period, what was needed was the king who was in charge. No matter what, the salt tax came to the river, Dongweng was indispensable. However, Dongweng's reputation in Jiangsu was very controversial. On the one hand, he worked hard to do a lot of things, on the other hand, he made friends with officials, and some Jiangnan literati boycotted it, which was mixed with praise and criticism..."
Guan Chaosheng cooked a few glasses of wine, and several people started drinking, but Jia Cong was not pessimistic and drank happily: "I didn't expect that in my life, I was the only one who knew how to learn drunken songs in the world. Since I became the Censor, I have been enjoying my happiness. I never avoid rumors, right and wrong, merits and demerits, and let others comment on it. Let's go to Suzhou."
"Don't go to Changzhou yamen?" Miaoyu said.
Jia Cong shook his head, Liu Zhiyuan, Liu Ting, Fan Xuan and others, all passed by, and a boat went south, floating towards the Three Wus.
...
As expected by Jia Cong, the cabinet memorials a few days later were already quarreling. Sima Bingjian, Wang Yinglin repeatedly applauded Jia Cong, saying that it was a "a great achievement of a century of great achievements, a great achievement that was unparalleled."
Zhang Fenyi secretly instigated the censor to impeach. He didn't know how to be honest, and thought that they were all doing their best for official business. Many Zhang Fenyi's disciples avoided Jia Cong's achievements in governing the river, and used articles that violated the conventions of the previous dynasty and suppressed merchants too much, etc. to impeach them.
How could Zhang Fenyi give up when he stepped on the Hui merchants who were concerned about their interests? Otherwise, he would not be a court master. While he came out to be a peacemaker, he did not dare to touch Liu Zhiyuan, and asked those "upright" officials to impeach the eunuchs. The result was that he was safe and sound. Those people made Dai Quan and Liu Zhiyuan furious...
Since September, Emperor Yongle has stopped handling the memorials, and Dai Quan did not criticize them. The most troublesome one is Yang Qinghe, who is busy clearing up and down. To be honest, this is nothing to do with him? But who told him to be the assistant?
When they fought hard, the person involved was Jia Cong. Although the Jia family was also anxious, Jia Cong resolutely got rid of Guanlai, threw away official business, and happily boated with Mei to Suzhou for fun.
