Chapter 626 One Meal, Two Provinces!

The emperor's words seemed to be referring to Cheng Tingzhi, and also seemed to be referring to Shen Yi.

It's a pun.

However, Master Shen was smart enough not to answer, but just stood there silently.

The emperor glanced at Shen Yi with a smile, and asked, "Has Shen Qing eaten?"

"Eating at home..."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "I was called into the palace by two father-in-laws, and I was half full."

At this time, he was no longer as nervous as he was when he met the emperor for the first time and the second time. Up to now, meeting the emperor has become a common occurrence for him, so when he copes with it, he also speaks normally, without any difference.

The emperor glanced back at Gao Ming, frowned and said, "I told you to call someone, why didn't you let him finish the meal, and brought him here?"

Mrs. Gao could tell from the monitor that the emperor was really joking, so she lowered her head with a smile and said, "Your servant is guilty."

"It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet."

The emperor glanced at the memorial book on the table, stretched his waist, and then yawned and said, "There are so many things every day, and I'm so bored, I'm here today, clever, let someone set up a table in the side hall. Banquet, I will have a meal with Shen Qing."

Eunuch Gao nodded immediately and went down to prepare to go.

The emperor smiled at Shen Yi, and said: "Shen Qing has accomplished a lot in the past six months. I have many things to ask you, and I also have many things to tell you."

Shen Yi bowed slightly: "I also have a lot of things to tell His Majesty personally."

The work efficiency in the palace was still very fast. It didn't take long for the food and wine to be prepared in the side hall of Ganlu Hall.

Of course, it's two tables of dishes.

The emperor never sits at the same table with others.

After the two sat down, the emperor lowered his head and ate a few mouthfuls of food, and then asked, "How should Shen Qing deal with the matter in Zhejiang?"

"It's about the border closure of a province..."

Shen Yi put down his chopsticks, shook his head and said: "It's all in His Majesty's heart, and I dare not say anything."

"If it's all in my heart, many things will be easier to handle."

The emperor snorted: "As long as there is a vacancy in the place, the prime ministers of the Zhongshu Province and the ministers in the court, which one is not staring at it like a wolf?"

The emperor put down his chopsticks, looked at Shen Yi, and said calmly: "There are no six ears here, only my monarch and ministers, you and I tell the truth, only your mouth, and my ears."

Shen Yi hesitated for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Wenzhou Shipping Department, although it hasn't been open for a long time, the errands are done well..."

The emperor sneered: "It's true. I saw the accounts reported by Sun Jin. In just two months, a Wenzhou shipping department can send me more than 30 to nearly 40 taels of silver. Calculate it like this." , this city ship company has recorded more than 200 million taels a year."

"According to his calculations, if the five city bureaus have just been established, they can earn me 1000 million taels of silver a year. Then this city bureau is really a good deal. Hongde should build a city in six years. Boss, why wait until now?"

Shen Yi knew in his heart that the emperor knew the tricks behind the Wenzhou Shipping Department.

After all, even if the emperor didn't send someone down to watch this kind of thing, he should be able to detect the trickiness in it.

Therefore, Master Shen smiled and said: "Your Majesty is very aware of the details, and some of the accounts of the Wenzhou Shipping Department are indeed not correct, but no matter how powerful the Zhejiang governor is in the local area, if Zhejiang businessmen go to the City Shipping Department for a This trip will lose money, so they will not do this business anyway, let alone work with Shibo.”

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said lightly: "Then if there are people, how about giving them money?"

Shen Yi shook his head slightly: "Your Majesty, I think that if you can achieve the closure of a province, your vision should not be so short-sighted. He should still want to continue to be the governor of Zhejiang next year. This year's account can be filled for two months, and next year's twelve months How to fill the account?"

"but…"

"These are all my conjectures."

Shen Yi bowed his head and said: "If Zhou Futai is really himself, or sent someone to put money into it, then I feel that this person is suspected of being short-sighted..."

The emperor smiled and said, "What if he didn't put money in it?"

Shen Yi was silent for a while, and then said: "Then there is only the crime of teaching the child without a way."

"You are open-minded."

The emperor lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said with a smile, "If I were in your position and someone wanted to shoot me, I probably wouldn't be able to be as open-minded as you are."

"The minister is not open-minded."

Shen Yi smiled and said: "The precious son of Zhou Futai, his body is already out of shape at such a young age, let alone across a boat, even in person, he may not be able to shoot accurately, besides, he was not the one who wanted to shoot that day." Kill the minister."

Master Shen said in a low voice: "That day, the female spy from the Northern Qi Dynasty who was beside him was the one who wanted to kill the minister, this Lin'an famous prostitute..."

"Death is not peaceful."

Shen Yi's tone was calm: "Besides, if I suffer some grievances and can do something for the court, I will be happy."

The four words "sweet as sweet" were learned from Cheng Tingzhi, so it is reasonable to copy them now.

The emperor smiled: "What Shen Qing means is that Zhou Yishan is in Zhejiang, so he can do things for the court?"

"I think that as long as he is willing to do his best, he will be much more useful than a new governor."

"However, if you want this kind of old fox to do his best, you must grasp his sore spot. His Majesty will see him tomorrow..."

The emperor smiled faintly: "I understand, we must beat him hard."

After the emperor finished saying this, he touched his chin and thought for a long time, and then he almost said to himself: "Then the matter in Zhejiang, let's do it like this for now..."

He looked at Shen Yi and asked, "What about Fujian? Shen Qing, you are the person involved, what do you think?"

Shen Yi lowered his head and thought for a while, then lowered his eyebrows and said: "Your Majesty, the minister and Cheng Fantai..."

"Unfamiliar."

Shen Yi's words are not to shirk or shirk responsibility.

Rather it is.

He and Cheng Tingzhi were indeed not familiar. He just acted as a channel of communication between Cheng Tingzhi and the emperor, but he was not responsible for the whole matter.

Having said that, Shen Yi paused for a moment, and then continued: "However, Your Majesty can take a look at the evidence in this person's hand first, and then send people from the Sanju Department to Fujian to verify it. If the verification is clear, no matter when you want to rectify Fujian The officialdom, or how to rectify the officialdom in Fujian, are all in the mind of Your Majesty..."

"Rectify the bureaucracy..."

When the emperor said this, he was not in the mood to eat anymore. He said in a deep voice: "Rectifying the administration of officials is not the current priority. I ask you for your opinion on Fujian, but I want to ask you what should I do so that next year's Only when the Fuzhou Shipping Department is running smoothly can my Fuzhou Guard be successfully completed."

Up to now, the emperor's layout in the southeast has become very clear.

That is to form five armies based on the five city ship divisions in the cities where the five city ship divisions are located.

They are Songjiang Wei, Wenzhou Wei, Fuzhou Wei, Quanzhou Wei and Guangdong Wei.

Five guards, each guarding 5000 people, are under the control of the command and envoy of the coastal capital, a total of 5000 people.

The political basis for the establishment of the five coastal guards is to defend the five coastal ship divisions and ensure the smooth navigation of the city ship divisions.

The political basis for the establishment of the Municipal Shipbuilding Department is the "achievement" of the Wenzhou Shipbuilding Department's completion in just two months this year.

With the results of the Wenzhou Bureau of Shipbuilding, the emperor could speak hard in the court and push the remaining four city bureaucrats down.

In fact, however, the cause and effect of the whole thing is reversed.

It is not for the sake of the five municipal ship divisions that the five coastal cities are established!

Quite the opposite actually!
The emperor set up five city ship divisions in order to have a hidden navy of 5000 people!
Master Shen raised his head to look at the young emperor, and then with a light word, he decided the order of the Fujian officials.

"The minister thought that the cruel officials should be used to rectify Fujian..."

The so-called cruel officials have severe punishments and strict laws, are not afraid of tyranny, have ruthless methods, and must be honest and self-disciplined.

Because you can move others only if your butt is clean enough.

However, such people are often the emperor's tools, and after being used, they are of no use value.

Because offended too many people.

Often it doesn't end well.

And does Cheng Tingzhi have the qualifications?

Most likely, because although he was greedy for money, there was a high probability that he didn't spend it!
As long as he submits it and reports the briber by the way, his ass will be clean.

Having said that, Shen Yi paused and added another sentence.

"This cruel official may not necessarily be Cheng Tingzhi."

Hearing this, the emperor also squinted his eyes.

"Then tomorrow, I will see if this person is worthy of being a cruel official of my Hong De Dynasty."
