[0711 Mr. Wei concludes the case](1/2)
In fact, Wei Bao is not sure now. His biggest backer, Wei Zhongxian, is now unwilling to see him!
However, Wei Bao was not worried that Wei Zhongxian would never see him. Wei Zhongxian wanted money. He sold his official position and had not paid any money to Wei Zhongxian yet.
So now Wei Bao no longer asks to see Wei Zhongxian, waiting for Wei Zhongxian to come to find him.
Wei Zhongxian can completely deny the things he is doing now with just one sentence.
However, before Wei Zhongxian's denial came, Wei Bao still followed his own pace and according to his words to the people of the Censorate and Dali Temple, ignoring all resistances, and carrying out the renovation of the Censorate and Dali Temple in an orderly manner.
It is also a sub-lease of personnel, and it is also a planning for the North Courtyard of the Censorate and the Dali Temple Yamen, as well as the North Court dormitory area.
Wei Bao has ready-made houses and land. He is the largest landlord in the entire capital, and even the entire Beizhili! Two-thirds of the real estate in the capital are in the hands of Wei Bao.
That was all bought by Wei Bao in the first half of his rebirth and traveled through time. After coming to Beijing for business, he secretly bought it.
At that time, the earthquake had just passed, and people at this time did not have a clear sense of real estate. Many people simply left the capital after something happened.
Wei Bao bought and picked up all the vacant land and real estate that he could get in Beijing. This is basically the case in the economically developed areas of several provinces around Northern Zhili.
Of course, Wei Bao's main development direction has never changed. It has always been coastal. Inland only purchases some industries in important economic and military centers, as a support for Tiandi Business to open up the commercial chain of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Wei Zhongxian quickly grasped the details of all the things Wei Bao did and obtained the list of personnel changes submitted by the Censorate and Dali Temple sent from the cabinet.
"This kid is really brave, and he really dares to do it if he says he does it! So many people have been replaced at once!" Wei Zhongxian said to Wang Tiqian with a smile: "If you don't know, you would think he is the chief minister of the cabinet. Even the chief minister of the cabinet does not have such great power and courage. This kid is really a talent, let alone."
"This is nothing. The most commendable thing is that he changed so many people at once, but there was no news! Although all the ministers in the cabinet opposed Wei Bao's approach, they did not impeach Wei Bao. There were not many officials in the court who impeached Wei Bao, and a few of them just submitted secret memorials!" Wang Tiqian said.
"Yes, so many people have been replaced at one time, and officials from Xiaoqian Censorate and Dali Temple have cut off their salaries since then. No one has caused trouble for him. It's really strange." Wei Zhongxian said as Wang Tiqian's words.
"Nine thousand years old, I have already asked someone to find out clearly. Wei Bao promised that the Censorate and Dali Temple will be expanded in the future and will give them priority resettlement. In addition, this kind of examination will spread to the entire Ming Dynasty!" Wang Tiqian said.
"Haha, this kid, he really dares to say anything. Your Majesty can't say such words! Our family dares not say anything." Wei Zhongxian laughed again, "This is a fool who has never suffered a loss. I don't know that the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is high and the world is dark and promised!"
"He is a cake that is too big, young people." Wang Tiqian smiled apologized, but didn't say much. Although Wang Tiqian received a lot of money from Wei Bao, he liked his current relationship with Wei Bao very much. He never thought of publicly having a relationship with Wei Bao. If he could help Wei Bao secretly, he would help, but he would never tie himself to a naughty girl like Wei Bao.
"What should we do now? Although we did not report to impeach Wei Bao, many people in our family have already had a big fuss and thought it was our family who supported Wei Bao behind the scenes! If Wei Bao really gave the money from selling official positions and the money from the Censorate and Dali Temple to the future case-examination and the Majesty, how many people will be taken away?" Wei Zhongxian said.
Wei Bao said it very clearly at the beginning that he was responsible for helping Wei Zhongxian get money, and then Wei Zhongxian divided it himself. However, Wei Bao's actions now have actually greatly compressed Wei Zhongxian's troops, because Wei Bao's ability to get money alone exceeded that of the entire Wei Zhongxian team. What do you want so many people to do?
Wei Bao not only got the money, but also got a lot more money than before, but also handed it directly to Wei Zhongxian, missing countless intermediate links.
In this way, Wei Zhongxian must be happy, but he will face a major choice because the Wei faction is facing a change in form.
In the past, the development of the Wei faction came from the number of people. A group of mobs, the more people, the better, and it would be best to eventually exceed the number of officials of the Donglin Party.
But after Wei Bao did this, many people would not get any benefits and even face the risk of being cleaned up. If Wei Bao reuses it and follow Wei Bao's method, they will not be able to take the number of people in the future and must take the streamlining route.
"I dare not say much about this, but judging by Wei Bao's cleaning of Dali Temple and the Censorate, most of the people who were removed were from the Donglin Party, leaving only a few Qingliu and the Donglin Party officials who were willing to spend money. Most of our people were washed away because they were people under the Nine Thousand Years and refused to spend money! The newly entered Jinshi and the children of this yamen came in from Wei Bao and would become Wei Bao's people in the future! If the Nine Thousand Years use Wei Bao and use it well, Wei Bao's people will also be the Nine Thousand Years. By then, the Donglin Party will be fewer and fewer, and the Nine Thousand Years will become more and more people will be more and more. If the Nine Thousand Years use Wei Bao, if the Nine Thousand Years uses it, Wei Bao's people will also be the Nine Thousand Years. At that time, the Donglin Party will be fewer and fewer, and the Nine Thousand Years will become more and more people will be more and more people in the Nine Thousand Years. If the Nine Thousand Years use Wei Bao and is used well, Wei Bao's people will also be the Nine Thousand Years. At that time, the Donglin Party will be fewer and fewer, and the Nine Thousand Years will become more and more people will be more and more people in the Nine Thousand Years will be more and more people in the Nine Thousand Years will be more and more people in the Nine Thousand Years will be more and more people in the Nine Thousand Years.
There are many, and the number of officials in the court will also decrease, and the speed of local officials will be greatly accelerated. Wei Bao can get more money and people for Jiu Qiansui to help Jiu Qiansui, which is definitely much faster than now. But there are risks. Over time, people under Jiu Qiansui will not rely on Jiu Qiansui as closely as they are now. Because now they are always worried about being impeached by the Donglin Party, and only by relying on Jiu Qiansui can they save their lives! Wei Bao's set of practices is equivalent to turning the entire Ming Dynasty into a business, and as long as they have silver, they can have a good relationship with him. "Wang Tiqian always acts as analyzing Wei Zhongxian and rarely gives opinions directly.
This is the smart second-in-command's way of doing things. I just need to explain things clearly. If I don't say anything, I won't find anything on my head.
Wang Tiqian's analysis was very accurate and in place, and even more understandable than Wei Zhongxian thought.
Wei Zhongxian nodded: "You are right, but you didn't say that it is a great benefit to reuse Wei Bao, or is it a great benefit to give up Wei Bao."
"I dare not say this because I can't see clearly." Wang Tiqian said quickly.
Wei Zhongxian smiled, "Eunuch Wang, you are an old man in the palace and have much more qualifications than our family. When Wanli was still here, you were the eunuch in the palace. Our family has always valued you very much. It would be fine if you refuse to talk about the other things. Our family really wants to hear what you said about this matter."
Wang Tigan pondered for a moment, "It is said that the use of Wei Bao is beneficial to Jiu Qiansui, but whether you can discipline Wei Bao well depends on Jiu Qiansui himself."
Wei Zhongxian smiled and nodded: "Yes, our family thinks so too! However, what we are worried about is not whether we can discipline Wei Bao well, but that Wei Bao is too young and has some means, but may not defeat the cunning ministers in the court. If Wei Bao has a second heart for our family, our family can deal with him with just one finger. It is much easier to deal with a Wei Bao than to deal with the Donglin Party!"
"Jiu Qiansui said it." Wangti Kindao.
"This kid is really capable. He will check cash for all the people in our family. However, he will keep a few people from the other side of the Donglin Party. If the people from the Donglin Party want to impeach him, they will have to be afraid of it. They will leave a few Qingliu officials, but they will clean up some officials who are interested in the Donglin Party. This trick is used well!" Wei Zhongxian affirmed Wei Bao, which was considered to add one of the advantages of Wei Bao, who had not mentioned completely, and then left.
"I'm honored to send you nine thousand years old." Wang Tigan quickly flattered Wei Zhongxian to the rank of the officials.
Wei Zhongxian's perspective was not worried about anything like that. He killed Wei Bao easily. In addition, Wei Zhongxian did not think that Wei Bao could become a good thing. He just entered the official career and took money into it, which had a great impact on the reputation of officialdom. The Donglin Party definitely could not ask for people like Wei Bao. If Wei Bao did not follow him, there would be no one. Even if the Donglin Party would be in private with Wei Bao for the sake of interests, he would never dare to openly support Wei Bao to buy and sell officials and accept bribes.
He can kill him at any time, get more money, and is not worried about getting along with the Donglin Party. Wei Zhongxian really couldn't think of the reason why he didn't value Wei Bao, and even thought that Wei Bao was a lucky star given to him by God, which saved him so much trouble?
As for Wei Bao's men, there was a Tiandihui, Wei Zhongxian knew very well and was not at ease. In Wei Zhongxian's opinion, if there were many people, it would be useless if there were many people.
That night, Wei Zhongxian summoned Wei Bao.
Wei Bao thought it was normal for Wei Zhongxian to summon him. As he had expected, Old Wei wanted to get the money, but the money was still in his hands and he had not shared the spoils.
"Nine thousand years old, here is one million taels, here is the extra 600,000 taels of silver, all of which are filial to nine thousand years old." Wei Bao respectfully placed a neatly stacked stack of silver notes in his hands and kneeled at Wei Zhongxian's feet.
Wei Zhongxian took a look, said nothing, and sat on the Grand Master's chair and looked at Wei Bao.
Wei Bao and Wei Zhongxian were already very familiar with each other. Seeing that there was no response, he looked up at Wei Zhongxian and smiled.
"No one is smiling with you, little monkey, my family asks you, have you just collected such a little money? We know how much money you have collected!" Wei Zhongxian said with a stern face.
"It's really that many people have confiscated the cash." Wei Bao said with a sincere look on his face.
Wei Zhongxian snorted coldly, "Don't come with me this! I heard that you, a fifth-rank official, have sold 20,000 taels of silver?"
"It's better to sell just a few. The Censorate and Dali Temple do not have a few official positions of seventh rank or above. Most of them are not the official positions of seventh rank and eighth rank? One sells at most three thousand taels of silver and two thousand taels of silver." Wei Bao was not afraid of Wei Zhongxian's fraud, because except himself, no one knows how many silver he sold, and it is impossible to count.
"The little monkey is not honest." Wei Zhongxian didn't believe it at all.
Wei Bao said with a bitter face: "Nine Thousand Sui, how much money do you want? Just say it yourself. At worst, I will pay the money slowly. Anyway, this is the first time and the last time. I will not care about selling official positions in the future."
"Haha, I want to give up the offer. You did a good job this time. Forget it, our family is more generous. The extra money will be regarded as a bonus for you. However, next time, you must remember the accounts clearly. Who sells how much silver is sold, and our family will send someone to reconcile the accounts." Wei Zhongxian said.
Wei Bao was overjoyed when he heard this. Wei Zhongxian said this, which was equivalent to giving himself the extra 2 million taels of silver this time and not pursuing it. In addition, it was equivalent to agreeing with Wei Bao's approach.
Wei Zhongxian saw Wei Bao smiling, "Don't be too happy too early. The cabinet's memorial has already been uploaded. Although you have not been impeached, all the cabinet ministers oppose that the yamen will take the lead in cutting officials and appointing officials! This is quite troublesome. I want to suppress it first and take a look after a while. There must be many people staring at you and putting your shoes on your clothes during this period, it depends on your own ability. Also, the senior officials under our family have great opinions on you, you can think of it yourself! Even if our family will give them some money, the money will not be passed directly from them after all, and it will definitely not be as much as before."
"I can imagine that this time I have actually deprived many senior officials under the age of nine thousand years old. At least, the interests of the Censorate, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Personnel and the cabinet are taken away!" Wei Bao nodded.
"It's good that you know! But you don't have to worry. With our family behind your back, no one can touch you! If you manage the Censorate and Dali Temple well, our family will let the Censorate take the lead and conduct examinations and selections in the entire capital city officialdom, and even join the Beizhili!" Wei Zhongxian continued.
Wei Bao was overjoyed again when he heard this. This was exactly what he hoped. It would be better to add the entire Ming Dynasty. By then, after Wei Zhongxian fell, he would be the most powerful person, because all the middle and low-level officials were retained by him or promoted from him.
"The children of this yamen can allow scholars to buy officials. People outside must not do it. They must be at least juren. At least officials of fifth and fifth ranks or above must be from Jinshi. This rule cannot be broken. If it is broken, the officials of the Ming Dynasty will not be worth much." Wei Zhongxian was afraid that Wei Bao would do anything out of the ordinary, so he specifically reminded him.
"Please rest assured if you are nine thousand years old! I know." Wei Bao nodded and agreed.
"Also, it's easy for civil officials to say that if you have conflicts with military generals in the future, you must be patient, otherwise you won't know why you're chopped off." Wei Zhongxian said.
"Jiu Qiansui is ready to leave the military general examination to me? Don't worry, Jiu Qiansui! I will do it well. I promise that within three years, more than 90% of the entire Ming Dynasty will be people of Jiu Qiansui. If the Donglin Party wants to cause trouble in the future, no one will be there!" Wei Bao hurriedly expressed his loyalty.
"Let's not talk about those, do it well, and give me the two million taels of silver you bought from Weijiazhuang and Liaonan in the second half of the year." Wei Zhongxian said happily.
Wei Bao said with a bitter face: "Nine Thousand Sui, I can't make money. You want to reconcile the accounts and ask me to pay the money so quickly. I have no oil and water. Where can I get two million taels of silver for Nine Thousand Sui?"
Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "It depends on your own ability. Now you arrest the Censorate and Dali Temple to investigate the case. Is there any good news? In the future, everyone will ask you to run for office, and there is no good news? From next month, you will pay 300,000 taels of silver every month for 1500,000 taels of silver to Fu Yingxing."
"300,000 taels of silver every month?" Wei Bao almost fainted, "Nine Thousand Sui should be promoted to me, otherwise I am just a fifth-rank official now, so how much power would I have? Besides, if the entire Ming Dynasty was dominated by the Nine Thousand Sui family, it would be easy to deal with it. Isn't there any Donglin Party? Selling officials is not that easy to sell, and it is not our family to decide on the case."
"You can't pay less money, and you can't get promoted. It's not that I can't bear to leave you. It's not that I can't bear to get you a chief minister, nor is it our official position. What's the matter with our family? The key is that you are too young and are only 15 years old now. You can't be promoted in the past three years. Our family promises you that in the eighth year of the Apocalypse, you will be promoted to the fourth rank of the official position. Do it well. If you don't have the ability to do it well, our family will change people to do these things. I don't know how many people are willing to do it, and they have to rush to do it."
Wei Bao had nothing to say and thought to himself that there would be eight years of Apocalypse. Isn’t there eight years of Apocalypse in history? At that time, you will go to the Hall of Hell to report, where can I get promoted to me?
As more and more experiences of rebirth and time travel, Wei Bao realized that history is inevitable. If he wants to move, he can only make fine adjustments, and he cannot change the general trend of history at all!
Especially human life is even more impossible to change. Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Age, died in the seventh year of the Age, so he would definitely not live in the eighth year of the Age.
"Yes, nine thousand years old!" Even though the complaints were made, Wei Bao was still respectful on the surface.
Seeing that Wei Bao was a little excited, Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "I am not old and I am so addicted to the government? Don't worry, within ten years, our family will definitely support you as a second-rank official. A 25-year-old man will be a second-rank official. Are you not satisfied? When you are thirty, our family will let you enter the cabinet! When you are forty, our family will let you be the chief minister! I will give you a title!"
Wei Bao Khan, are you more capable of drawing cakes than me? I am forty years old? It will take 25 years. At that time, you don’t know if you have been reborn.
"Thank you, Nine Thousand Years!" Wei Bao bowed and replied, trying hard to pretend to be flattered and grateful.
Wei Zhongxian said satisfied: "Remember, as long as you are dedicated to following our family, you will be beneficial. You are doing well this trip. You have cleaned up many Donglin Party members and continue doing this in the future. You don't have to be close to our family and our people outside. If it is necessary, you can even scold our family."
"Isn't this good? I respect Jiu Qiansui so much?" I even want to cry when I think about it.
"There is nothing good or bad, there are so many people in our family. Our family is not asking you to fight with our family, but just let you not think that you are our family when you are fighting against Donglin Party officials." Wei Zhongxian said: "But there is one thing that must be eliminated to the greatest extent, and use those who are loyal to our family and His Majesty."
Wei Bao nodded and agreed. He thought to himself that Wei Zhongxian really regarded the emperor as his puppet, or regarded himself as the shadow of the emperor, because he could tolerate officials who were not very loyal to him but were particularly loyal to the emperor. Such people could still be controlled by imperial edicts.
After leaving Wei Zhongxian's private residence, Wei Bao was in a good mood and hummed a small song all the way back to the mansion. He had a big fight with Wang Qiuya that night.
The next day, when Wei Bao arrived at the yamen again, it was very different.
This time, no senior officials of the eunuch party came to ask themselves what happened. However, officials of the fifth and fifth ranks and below came to Wei Bao for everything, and it seemed that Wei Bao had really become the boss of the Censorate and Dali Temple.
The Censorate experienced the experience of Li Liming, the chief officer of the Censorate, and Guo Wenliang, who had been appointed as the Censor, wandered around Wei Bao all day long.
Pour tea and organize documents, so hard.
Wei Bao was smoking with his feet raised, and Guo Wenliang worked hard to beat Wei Bao's legs: "Sir, the case has been posted. We should send it to the South Court for the South Court, and the North Court for the North Court. However, there are several new cases. We just sent it here these days. Please see, should we send it together?"
Although the North Courtyard does not have a formal yamen, and Wei Bao only asked the officials to temporarily move to a large mansion to serve as a yamen, the system has been allocated.
"I'll try it myself!" Wei Bao said: "It's just right for them to see how to determine the case!"
Li Limin said: "Sir, this is the latest batch of cases after our Censorate and Dali Temple have been reorganized. We must be cautious! It is better to watch, so find a few experienced censors?"
"Let them follow me, I won't do anything randomly." Wei Bao said: "I can tell you clearly the importance. Besides, Guo Wenliang is also very experienced. When there is a problem, don't you know how to remind me?"
"Don't worry, if you have a young man, please tell me if you have any problems! Mr. Li is worried that the cases in our Censorate and Dali Temple are all big cases, and involve many high-ranking officials. They are also good intentions for fear that the adults will offend others." Guo Wenliang said.
Li Limin smiled at Guo Wenliang with approval. Although both of them were seventh-rank, he was in charge of official positions. Guo Wenliang was just a censor and a clerk. He was bigger than Guo Wenliang. He felt that Guo Wenliang was flattering, and he was clear in the main and secondary divisions, and he did not compete with him for favor. That was good.
To be continued...
