Daming Yuanfu

Chapter 335 Trip to Anyang ([-])
The winter month has passed, and the twelfth lunar month is here.On the official road from Cizhou to Anyang County, the seat of Zhangde Prefecture, a group of knights guarded several carriages, rolled over the thin snow, and moved forward slowly.

In the only carriage for people, Gao Wushi sat opposite Shuai Jiamo.

In fact, only Shuai Jiamo was kneeling and sitting neatly, while Gao Yushi was leaning on a Jindun with one hand, half-lying obliquely.

There was a small copper stove between the two of them to keep the temperature inside the car. Next to the copper stove was a planner with a lot of paper on it.

"Your numerology talent is indeed very good." Gao Wushi looked at Shuai Jiamo who was doing a question in front of him, smiled and said, "After the Huizhou case is settled, how about coming to the capital to help me?"

Shuai Jiamo raised his head, smiled, and replied, "If the waiter doesn't invite you, Xiaosheng will have to recommend himself."

Gao Wushi laughed, pointed at him, and said, "With your abilities, you can check the accounts in Shexian County, and you see, something happened. After this matter is over, I guess you will also be there." Huizhou can't stay longer, but it's just right to come here, I have a lot of things, and I may depend on you in the future."

"How dare you rely on two characters as a servant." Shuai Jiamo smiled bitterly: "The numeracy of the servant is a hundred times better than mine. If I hadn't seen it in person, I would not believe it." To be honest, it has far exceeded Xiaosheng's expectations... I just hope that I can have a stable meal in the future."

"You still don't understand my concern for numerology." Gao Wushi shook his head: "Actually, there are many things in the world that require the support of numerology. Apart from those you can think of, there are many... more."

"The servants are far-sighted, how can people like Xiaosheng be able to understand..."

"Ha, here we go again." Gao Wushi waved his hand and said suddenly, "If I told you that even fighting is just a matter of math, would you believe me?"

Shuai Jiamo opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and said awkwardly: "This... I can't believe it."

But Gao Wushi didn't bother to explain. He changed his posture, lifted the curtain of the car slightly, looked outside, and asked, "Should we be approaching Anyang soon? I heard that Anyang was the city of Ye in those days?" "

Shuai Jiamo nodded and said: "Yes, Zhangde was called Yin, Xiang, and Ye in ancient times, and its location is today's Anyang, but the ancient city of Ye should be about twenty miles north of Anyang, which is almost where we are now. "

Gao Wushi said: "I don't know much about Anyang. When it comes to Yecheng, I can almost only think of Yuan Shao and Cao Cao."

You can even write "Long Wen Whip Shadow", how can this be the only historical level?

Shuai Jiamo only regarded himself as high-minded, pragmatic and humble, so he smiled and said nothing.

However, Gao Wushi didn't intend to have a drink with Shuai Jiamo to talk about heroes, so he directly changed the subject and said, "If I remember correctly, Zhangde seems to be the king of Zhao?"

But Shuai Jiamo didn't know, so he could only say: "From the position, it should be... We have too many princes in Ming Dynasty, Xiaosheng really can't remember."

"Yes, there are too many." Gao Wushi nodded, but did not continue.

Shuai Jiamo felt from the high-practical tone that he seemed to have more to say, and this person is really not a person with great talent for being an official, so he subconsciously followed: "The waiter seems to be a little dissatisfied with this?"

"Dissatisfied?" Gao Wushi turned to look at him, and smiled: "Why should I be dissatisfied?"

Shuai Jiamo hesitated for a while, and finally said: "In fact, many scholars think that we have too many princes in Ming Dynasty, and the burden on the country is getting heavier..."

"Do you have the data?" Gao Wushi said indifferently: "How much is it heavier?"

"This..." Shuai Jiamo said with a wry smile: "The waiter is joking, Xiaosheng is only a small official, how can there be such data?"

"That's it. The Master said: 'If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.' Zeng Zi said: 'A gentleman can't think about his position'. Since you are just a small official, why bother to ask about this?"

Gao Wushi sighed: "There are many things that don't hurt your back when you stand and talk when you are in the opposition, but you will know the difficulties when you are in the court. You think that there are so many high-ranking officials in the court, all of them are really stupid and can't see these problems. Shuai Jiamo, you know that it’s useless to ask questions about human silk tax, you have to give a solution, why would you ask me if I’m dissatisfied with too many princes? Whether I’m satisfied or not , can I solve it now?"

Shuai Jiamo was a little embarrassed, and argued, "Perhaps I can... er, influence a little bit by serving the prince's close ministers."

"Not yet." Gao Wushi directly reached out his hand to stop him.

Shuai Jiamo didn't dare to ask again, and after a while, he said: "Master, how much do you think Xiaosheng has a chance of winning in the case of human silk tax? Xiaosheng heard that the five counties have produced new evidence."

Gao Wushi nodded, and said: "They did come up with new evidence. As far as I know, you don't have an advantage in this matter, at least in terms of evidence."

Shuai Jiamo looked worried, and hesitated for a moment: "But no matter what, it's really unfair for She County to pay this tax bill."

"Fairness and justice are not the same thing." Gao Wushi smiled, and said: "Besides, what this matter requires is neither fairness nor justice."

Shuai Jiamo was stunned for a moment: "Why?"

"It doesn't matter whether it's fair or just, it can't solve this problem." Gao Wushi said indifferently: "After the last assassination case, I was forced to delay in Ansu for a full six days. Nervous, they are not only nervous about me, but also you, because this case has become a big deal now."

Gao Yushi pushed the last assassination case to Shuai Jiamo, so that now even the cabinet is paying attention to the case of Huizhou native Ding Sijuan.

Shuai Jiamo asked in surprise, "How big is it?"

Gao Wushi laughed, and said, "Your Shexian County is outstanding, and a large group of senior township party officials have been dismissed."

This is indeed true. In such a short period of time, officials from She County have already gone to the shuffle in order to form pressure from public opinion. The following can be regarded as representatives:

Wang Shangning, a native of Rongkou, Shexian County, was a Jinshi, an official to the right deputy capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Wang Daokun, a native of Qianqiuli, Shexian County, was a Jinshi and an official to the governor of Yunyang (historically he would be promoted to the left servant of the Ministry of War in one year).Moreover, his literary fame was very prosperous, and he was called the Sima of the North and the South together with Wang Shizhen, one of the "last five sons".

Jiang Zhen, a native of the south of Shexian County, was a Jinshi and an official to Zuo Buzheng of Guizhou.

Fang Hongjing, a native of Shexian County, a Jinshi, was an official to the right servant of the Nanjing household department.

Cheng Dabin, a native of Huaitang, Shexian County, a Jinshi, served successively as the chief examiner of the Southern Officials Department, the deputy envoy of Guangxi, and the principal of the South Yunnan Academy.

Cao Lou, a native of Xiongcun, Shexian County, was a Jinshi, and an official went to Jiangxi You to participate in politics.

Jiangdong, from Jiangcun, She County.At this time, he was not yet a Jinshi, and he would not pass the exam until the next year.Later, he was the first to fire at Feng Bao as a censor, and he was also a celebrity in the Wanli Dynasty.

Shuai Jiamo was stunned, and it took a while to realize: "What about the other counties, they didn't respond?"

　There is a new book review, I saw it, but I am not in good spirits due to illness, I will reply in a few days.Thanks to the book friends for the reward of "One Thought, Moment and Eternity", thank you.
