Chapter 341 Emperor Heart
"Master Ma calm down." The fourth-rank commander-in-chief bowed to Ma Chaoren, and Li Guohua said repeatedly: "It's not the matter of levying the station fee. The commander gave the 500 taels to the chamber of commerce. The chamber of commerce is only willing to pay 80 taels. The number is too different, and the commander feels that he can't get enough face..."
"Don't he fart." Ma Chaoren said angrily: "He thought he was the magistrate? Tianchengwei has only one post station, and he has to ask for a place. There are not many past officials, and there are less than 30 post horses. It is too much to use 100,000 bunches of straw bunches a year. The beans and miscellaneous expenses have been used to kill 350 taels. The court has allocated funds, and the extra expenses are less than 200. He has levied hundreds of taels in various places in the guards. My chamber of commerce has given 80 taels to give him the face of the commander."
Under Ma Chaoren's anger, Li Guohua, a miscellaneous rank like a guard who only manages the military farming in the garrison, must have no words to reply. One guard and the other commander, two co-magistrates, and two assistants perform their duties. Some are in charge of the squad and military training, some are in charge of military farming, some are in charge of warehousing, and some are in charge of post-posts. Only the palm prints are in charge of everything, and of course all the blame is also in charge of the blame.
In fact, when Zhang Wuchang was in office, the post station also lost money, but he just plundered some and compensated it. Like the new Commander Zheng, who thought that it was very rare to become fat in one bite, and he was indeed a bit too greedy.
Jiang Dalin was alert and said, "Commander Zheng has also been an official for many years and has come from a general family. He will not be confused about the truth. Now this approach is not like trying to search for others, but rather like coming to our chamber of commerce."
Zhang Yanhong also said: "It's indeed a solemn. This guy is afraid he wants to curry favor with Han Qi, so he did it on purpose."
"A idiot." Ma Chaoren said: "Let's go find him."
Commander Zheng was indeed a guild that was just a short time after taking office. He only knew that the existence of the Chamber of Commerce was a guild composed of rich businessmen. This thing actually existed in various places in the Ming Dynasty, but it was not large in scale and there were no regulations. Commander Zheng only thought it was just a guild organization he had heard of before.
Another one is the merchant regiment. In Commander Zheng's opinion, although the military army is a soy sauce party, the same is true for the regiment training. Everyone is each other. This time, when fighting against the Northern Barbarians, Tiancheng Wei did not send any troops. All the power that could be drawn was placed in the acropolis by Commander Zheng. He did not know the situation outside the city.
In this way, how can the merchant group mobilize and assemble, and how powerful it has, the commander, ¢¢¢¢¢, m.↗.c↘om, is also completely ignorant.
Jiang Dalin said: "What should I do here in the Chamber of Commerce? There is a lot of money and inventory inside, and the soldiers are going to go in..."
"Can't get in." Ma Chaoren looked fierce and said, "There are two Shang regiment soldiers in the bureau. They want to get in and dream."
"Do you want to give me some advice?"
"No need." Ma Chaoren pondered for a moment and said, "The merchant group's always Li Laibin, he is not a vegetarian. This person was trained by Inspection Zhang. He is mature and steady, and will not make any mistakes."
...
Ma Chaoren and others ran into a wall, and Commander Zheng did not see them at all. Next, the three of them returned to the business group and found that there were more soldiers in the garrison surrounding the door.
There were also many people watching in the street markets around. Once this happened, it was like a strong dragon hitting a local snake, causing an uproar.
"I don't know why, I suddenly remembered something." Ma Chaoren was not frustrated. He suddenly smiled: "A few years ago, we made it difficult for the branch where He Yusheng collected grain. We also instigated people to surround their stores, and also asked the ward soldiers to go over to help. The situation was vaguely the same at that time. However, now the host and the guest are reversed, and we are surrounded by others."
"At this time, you actually remembered such a thing." Jiang Dalin was a little amused and crying when he heard this.
There was also a hint of emotion on Zhang Yanhong's face. It was not long since then. If he hadn't made a choice wrong, would his situation be much better now?
Zhang Yanhong pondered: "The storefront of Heyusheng's branch was very small and the scale was simply not worth mentioning. We thought we could easily drive away these foreign merchants, but the result was completely the opposite..."
"There is someone in front of me who is about to hit a wall." Jiang Dalin did not feel sad about spring and autumn. He was the kind of person who always looked forward. At this time, more than a hundred people rushed over. The leader was Commander Zheng riding a horse in front. Jiang Dalin felt a little gloating for some reason.
"Let's step back and watch." Ma Chaoren said: "According to the Chamber of Commerce regulations, daily management is the responsibility of our board of directors. When there is a sudden need for force, the business group will be responsible for it. Now I have nothing to do."
Ma Chaoren sighed and continued: "If the surname Zheng is willing to see me, you don't have to make things uncontrollable."
...
After Li Laibin ordered the fire to open, the bird gunners of the two flag teams shot at one volley and repelled the guards.
Because these troops were involuntarily, they could not compare with the situation of the last militia... all the militia were rogues, and it would be okay to kill them all. Most of these troops were poor military households, and they were under severe oppression in normal times. They lived much harder than ordinary farmers. These people were all thin and thin. Even the young and strong in the twenty-year-old looked malnourished and dressed similarly to beggars. The weapons in their hands were not as sharp as the fork rake produced by Lizhuang. Such an "enemy" would not increase the military achievements of their own side and would only be condemned by conscience.
Furthermore, Li Laibin also cared that these people were not militia but formal guards of the imperial court. Once they were killed too much, even if Lord Zhang was well-informed, it would be much trouble to recover from the aftermath.
Only one unlucky guy was hit because the bird gun was put upwards, and only one stray bullet hit a unlucky guy. After he lamented and howled, hundreds of guards lost the rags in their hands and began to flee in all directions.
Li Guohua, the commander-in-chief, also ran away, leaving only Commander Zheng and his servants with less than twenty people around him.
"How could this happen?" Commander Zheng looked shocked and unbelievable. The guards raised by a group of merchants actually dared to open fire on the imperial court's orders and officers and soldiers. They were not bandits or thieves. How could the businessmen who have always been weak and brave have such courage?
Although Commander Zheng is a general, he has been serving in southern Jin in recent years. It is obvious that he can no longer understand the situation in Datong.
"Are you going to rebel?" Commander Zheng mustered up his last courage and shouted to the direction where Li Laibin and other obvious commanders were located.
"Commander Zheng, you should think about how to protect your black hat." Li Laibin ignored the shouting from the other side. Instead, Ma Chaoren shouted from the side: "Openly leading troops to siege the commercial shops, looting civilian wealth, and committing unlawful behavior depends on how you explain it!"
"Hu Badao." Commander Zheng said angrily: "You are still a juren. The government has insufficient expenses and does not recruit people's businessmen. Do we ask officials to pay for money by ourselves?"
"Ah? Is it?" Commander Zheng looked around and shouted angrily: "Is this the truth?"
...
"That Han Qi is incompetent and causes trouble. Since that's the case, I won't see him even if he comes, so let's leave it alone."
After a while, especially after the last court discussion, the Apocalypse seemed to have mastered some of the essence of governing the country. This time, Han Qi was beaten by thousands of people. Not only did there be impeachment from Datong, the general and the military preparations, but no governor said good things. Although the governor did not impeach the governor, there were no good things about the governor in the memorial.
Then the Donglin Party attacked, Yang Lian, the cannon, fired the cannon first, and then Zuo Guangdou followed. These two were people like the flag-like figures of the Donglin Party, far from being comparable to those of the cats and dogs. At this time, Tianqi did not make a decision in a hurry. After summoning Sun Chengzong to ask the whole story, he finally issued an order, ordering Han Qi to return to Beijing to report his duties, and appointed Zheng Guochang as the new governor and summoned him to Beijing to meet.
"How is Zheng Guochang? I'll see it before I see it."
There are only fixed attendants in the huge Wenhua Hall, and Tianqi has not summoned too many. Recently, he has no longer been as awe of the rituals and so-called classics of the fixed Wenhua Hall lectures.
Before this, the emperor, who was less than twenty, believed in the civil servants' promotion and was full of awe of Confucian classics, but now Tianqi has his own opinions in his heart.
"What the emperor is so." Sun Chengzong's face was filled with satisfaction. The anti-Korean incident did not cause any storm in the court. Everyone's attention was still on the Liaodong incident and they were not very interested in the replacement of the governor of Datong. The key is that Han Qi is extremely awesome to count the periphery of the Jin Party, and the Jin Party has long been over. Zheng Guochang doesn't count any party. There is no party conflict, and there is much less resistance invisibly.
Sun Chengzong is still optimistic about Zheng Guochang's ability. If this person is knowledgeable and tactful, he may join the Donglin Party. However, Sun Chengzong is not interested in managing his party members, and he will not take the initiative to meet Zheng Guochang.
"That person named Zhang Han, this time he fights against the Northern Territory and makes a contribution, so he will be transferred from a patrol to a military position."
Zhang Han was transferred to a military official and promoted to an important position. This matter was submitted by Liu Guojin, the Donglin Party. Tianqi did not know Zhang Han, but he had a good impression of Zhang Han... This comes from two things. The first is that Zhang Han defeated the Beilu and made contributions. Tianqi was still generous to the ministers who made actual achievements. The emperor was not so harsh to his ministers. In this way, Emperor Tianqi was much more kind than his younger brother. The second is that Emperor Tianqi encountered many technical difficulties in imitating He Yusheng's Western-style carriage, and the imitation was always
There are many places that are not satisfactory and lack a lot. He felt that Zhang Han had two tricks on making tools. He didn't want to inspect officials like this in the Ming Dynasty. Even the emperors with important positions in the third and fourth ranks would not be too impressed. Even officials below the ministry were even under the government. Even if they often attended the court, they wanted to attract the attention of the emperor among the thousands of civil officials in the capital and remembered that he was almost impossible. However, Zhang Han had left a deep impression on Emperor Tianqi because of his skill in making objects by Tianqi, which Zhang Han himself could not imagine.
