Emperor Yongzheng

Chapter 105 Aunt Black is gossiping about the Jianghu Dao King Fengtian entering Beijing in violation of the rules
Gan Fengchi's group of people left the store, and Li Wei felt relieved.He ordered people to carry Mr. Duanmu to the outer room of his suite in the backyard. He took off his pants and carefully inspected the injury. He saw two rows of tooth marks on the crook of the thigh and elbow deep into the muscle, and a piece of flesh as big as a walnut stuck to the injured area.One leg was swollen and shiny, with a horseshoe-sized bulge near the wound, but it was covered in black, purple, and bruised blood stains.When he looked at Mr. Duanmu, his eyes were wide open as he woke up. He could only grit his teeth to bear the pain, but he seemed unable to speak freely.Li Wei ordered someone to boil a large basin of green salt and soap locust water, and asked Aunt Hei to dip it in a raw white cloth and gently clean Duanmu's wound. He kept rubbing peppermint oil around the wound, and asked as he did so: "What do you call Mr. Duanmu? Your family has been a martial arts leader for generations. How could a dog hurt you?... It doesn't matter. Although the symptoms are dangerous, the treatment is quite timely. It won't hurt you..."

"This is my third young master, his name is Liangyong." Aunt Black wiped him gently and said with tears in her eyes, "No wild dog in the world can hurt him. He has violated the family law and is not suitable for his liking. When Liu Xun raised the master's daughter, the master sent a mad dog to bite him. It was the blessing of gods and Buddhas that he escaped with his life..."

Li Wei opened his eyes wide. There is such a cruel father in the world, and his son falls in love with another girl. Is this a "family law"?Aunt Hei helped Li Wei bandage Duanmu Liangyong's injured leg. She sighed and sat on the wooden pole by the wall. She said in a slow voice: "Our master is good at everything. He cares about the old and the poor, and never abuses his subordinates." . It’s just a sect that accepts death. Since the Jingnan War started in the Yongle period, the Duanmu family was raided and executed by Lord Yongle. Only one Taizu Gong escaped. He swore a strong oath to the emperor that any of his descendants would marry into an official family. Killing without mercy has been passed down to eleven generations for more than 300 years. They lived in seclusion in Jimo, Shandong Province, just letting tenants work for production, and secretly teaching their descendants to learn literature and martial arts. The descendants followed this ancestral precept, and no one dared to marry into an official family. ." Li Wei smiled and said: "The rules of this family are really very special. Everyone in the world is like your Duanmu family. Who will my daughter marry?"

"Isn't that true!" Aunt Hei clapped her hands and sighed, "I have been in the Duanmu family for decades. Not to mention the distance, Liangyong's uncle was having sex with a woman who offered incense at the Yu Lan Festival. Over there is In the Xunyan Taoist family, his great-grandfather imprisoned his uncle for three years. He was not released until the Xunyan Taoist family returned to their hometown and resigned. In anger, his uncle became a monk and became a monk... But he was also a mischief, according to the words passed down by his ancestors. , a few broke the family law and went out to be friends with people, either their parents or uncles, and some of them always died of illness. This ancestral precept has really become a taboo in the Duanmu family. As soon as I heard that the officials came to visit the house, Except for the head of the family, the young masters and girls in the family are hiding and dare not meet each other." Li Wei smiled and said: "It's really interesting. How can Liang Yong dare to violate this ancestral precept?"

The two were exchanging words, and Duanmu Liangyong, who had been sleeping silently next to him, moved slightly and murmured: "Mei Ying... Mei Ying..." He suddenly opened his eyes and looked under the lamp. Go, his eyes have become very soft, not as white and bright as when Li Wei first saw him.Liang Yong looked at Aunt Hei blankly, then looked at Li Wei, and asked, "Where am I?"

"You went to the gate of hell once, and now you are in the world of the sun." Li Wei said with a smile, "This is a doom. Your Duanmu family does not associate with the eunuch family, but you fell in love with Mei Ying, and I saved you You, your nanny saved me, I am a big official! This is a debt that cannot be settled." Aunt Hei carefully covered Liangyong with the quilt, and said with a tearful smile: "Little Ancestor, you are going to scare this old woman to death! Fortunately, Mr. Li has a good heart and understands medicine, otherwise what would happen to you?" He said and wiped his tears.Li Wei leaned over and touched Duanmu Liangyong's forehead, and said: "Poor people are divided into good and evil, and officials are also divided into three, six or nine. Why do you have such a bastard family law? - Whose daughter is the Mei Ying you love? I’ve taken care of everything!”

Duanmu Liangyong shook his head gently on the pillow and said with a wry smile: "This has been a 300-year-old rule of my family, and no one can change it. Please tell me, sir, what should I call you?" Li Weidao: "My name is Li Wei, and I am the governor of Jiangnan. Although it is official, there is a famous person in the world called "Beggar Li". Someone helped me look up my genealogy and found that it was Yongle Jingnan who had fallen hard. They even gave me a nickname called "Youjie". You are so young, why call me "Youjie"? Uncle Youjie, it doesn’t count as slandering your Duanmu family, does it? - Let’s talk about it, which official’s daughter are you dating, and whose daughter is your father dating? I have decided on this decision!”

"She is the daughter of Commander Lu Longqi of Jimo County, her name is Mei Ying..." Duanmu Liangyong was calm at the moment and looked very peaceful under the lamp. He took a sip of the water handed over by Aunt Black and said soothingly: "This year On the eighth day of April, during the Buddha Bathing Festival, she went to Dabei Temple to offer incense and was pestered by some evil young men. Following my father’s orders, I went to Jimo to transport porcelain and ran into this incident, so I rescued her. Mei Ying and I were together at that time. I didn't say a word until I sent her home and found out it was Miss Lu. The matter had already been settled, and it was just a coincidence that in May my father asked me to go to the Four Eyes Spring to get water, and I happened to meet Mei Ying and her sister again. I went to pick mulberries, and when we met, I had to say a few words. When I got back, I felt empty in my heart. Mei Ying's shadow kept wandering in front of my eyes. My family gradually noticed that I was in a trance. They asked the boy and found out what happened. As a result, my father forbade me to go out. Unexpectedly, there were not enough manpower to collect the rent on August 72th, so my father asked me to go to Dongxiang to summon the village leaders to discuss the rent collection. By some mistake, my grandmother Mei Ying was also in Dongxiang, and she was actually my tenant... ...I 'pressed' the 'rent' at Dongxiang Shili Temple for a full ten days... more than half of the time, I was with Mei Ying... Now, I can't keep it." He stared at the ceiling with a pair of delicate eyes, like He was looking back on those ten days of experiences that he would never forget. The dim candles were beating feebly, but his words were very clear: "We Duanmu are descendants of the sage's [-] virtuous disciples. I dare not say that there is anything wrong with our ancestors. I really I don’t understand, why should we, our descendants, be responsible for the injustices they committed in their lifetimes? I...we were good friends with Mei Ying, but it’s not my fault. Her family is also a big law family, so it would be no pity if I died, but she..." He sighed sadly and said no more.

For a moment, the three people in the room were silent, and there was a dead silence inside and outside. Only the bang bang sounded monotonously and boringly in the dark alley in the distance.

"It's just like what was said in the play. It's interesting." Li Wei came back from his reverie for a long time and said with a smile: "Lu Longqi is a well-known upright official; Duanmu is also a prominent family in Shandong and a descendant of sages - this is also a good match. What's the matter! The old man is so old-fashioned! Besides, Lu Longqi has been dead for many years. If there is anything he can't handle, it will be difficult for the two children! You can rest in peace and recover and just follow me. I will go to Beijing for a while and then return to Shandong. I'll take care of your business." Aunt Hei then asked: "Mr. Li, Ganfengchi's territory is in the south of the Yangtze River, and you are a local prince, why did you get together here, and why did he bother to offend you? He is so rude, why do you tolerate him? Even if he is very capable, this is an important place in the capital, and you have so many soldiers, why can't you capture five or six of his men?"

Li Wei stood up slowly, walked slowly, and said nothing.He rescued Duanmu today out of compassion and had no intention of repaying kindness.Li Wei came from a humble background. He was begged for food since he was a child and was bought into the palace by Yongzheng as a slave. He had never entered a school.However, he was released as the county magistrate of Chengdu, and the "Thirteen Taibao of Tianfu" was arrested in one fell swoop. The long-standing thief Yuansu was eliminated, and the public security of Sichuan Tong Province became the best in the world overnight; he was promoted to the capital of Huguang, and within a month he defeated Jianghan " The "Three Saints of Xiangtang" and the "Two Heroes of Turtle and Snake" are two dens of thieves that dominate the entire province.The green forest hero was frightened by the news and became a world-famous anti-theft officer.With this ability and the fact that he was an old disciple of the Yongzheng vassal, within four years of Yongzheng's accession to the throne, he was promoted to governor of Jiangnan and then governor of Liangjiang. However, he was also given a secret order to take charge of the arrest of thieves in the world.This time he came to Beijing to report on his work. Yongzheng met him three times, all of them talking about public security. He also specifically mentioned Gan Fengchi and others, and ordered them to be arrested as soon as possible.But Li Wei had other insights. He believed that the so-called "Eight Righteousnesses" of Gan Fengchi, Song Jing, Dou Erden, Shengtiefo, Lu Siniang, Yi Zhihua, Shengshou Er, and Mo Buren were mixed.Some of them were just bandits who committed crimes by robbing homes and homes; some were forced to make a living by stealing rats and dogs, which was not a serious harm; some had deep connections with the White Lotus Sect.For example, Gan Fengchi and Dou Erden were powerful leaders in the world who punished evil and promoted good, supported the weak and suppressed the strong. They could be used by the court if they were guided well.Capture them all together, but squeeze these different people into one place to become enemies of the imperial court.Therefore, the purpose of holding on to Ganfengchi is to bring peace and comfort.This is why he refused to seriously capture Gan Fengchi tonight.To Li Wei's surprise, the abilities of a nanny from the Duanmu family in Shandong were far superior to those of Ganfengchi. He thought he knew everything about the world, but now he seems to be confused.Li Wei hesitated for a long time and said with a smile: "You ask me this, it's hard to answer. Gan Fengchi is a good man, and I, Li Wei, am also a good man. This is called xingxingxixingxing. I am in charge of military affairs in Jiangnan, and I am also in charge of arresting thieves all over the world. Gan Fengchi is my disciple. I took a lot of them, and I killed some of them who had committed serious crimes. I am a member of the imperial court, so I have to do this, but I respect Gan Fengchi's character. He just wanted to see his friends. This is not a crime, so I can't. It's Ding Mao, it's Mao's business." As he said that, he took out his pocket watch, looked at it, and said, "It's almost midnight, and I have to discuss some things in the backyard. The poison caused by the vicious dog is a symptom that the doctor said is incurable. , only beggars have this secret that is not passed down. It is already a surprise that this happened to a kid from a wealthy family in Liangyong, and it is even more of a surprise that he met me again. He cannot return home for a while, so you masters and servants should follow me to the capital. , take care of it slowly, it will take three months to get rid of the root cause!" After saying that, he put a pen on the case and a piece of plain paper, called a Goshiha, and asked: "Are you illiterate?"

"How many years have you attended private school?"

"I'm talking about the prescription, you write it?"

"Yes!"

Li Weiyin said with a smile:
Eight points of true amber, eight points of mung bean powder, eight points of yellow wax frankincense, one penny each, six cents of water and cinnabar, six cents of realgar essence, six cents of alum, six cents of licorice, and five cents each.

After saying that, he added: "Go and catch it. This medicine is not unusual. I can prepare it myself - go ahead!" He smiled again at the surprised black nanny, and went out with the corner of his robe hanging.

Yunxiang and Fan Shiyi were still awake, sitting in the upper room eating tea and waiting for Li Wei.Seeing Li Wei come in, Fan Shiyi hurriedly stood up and said with a smile: "Imperial doctor, it's hard to treat illnesses and save people! - With the battle just now, I'm really afraid that Gan Fengchi will lose his temper and get angry, Mr. Youjie. How can I explain to the emperor?" Li Wei He greeted Yunxiang and said with a smile: "What kind of danger is this? I captured the Thirteen Taibao and conducted a private visit alone. If you see that scene, nothing will be a problem." Yunxiang also smiled and said : "I know that Li Wei is a rogue. He has a special purpose to win over all the green forest figures in the world. He is the one who fell out of the knife." He said, motioning for the two of them to take their seats.

"People like Gan Fengchi are not willing to fall out with the government easily. He has a family of more than 300 people in Nanjing. What's more, he leads all the heroes in the south of the Yangtze River. His own life is worse than that of a poor official like me. Expensive." Li Wei smiled, leaned forward and sat down, took a sip of the oil tea handed over by the waiter, and said: "It smells so good, it makes my whole body warm! Please send two bowls to the master and servant of Duanmu in front of you - just There is really danger tonight. From what I saw, Gan Fengchi looked like she was angry with someone upstairs, and I didn’t see that fake Taoist priest coming down. If it weren’t for this black nun, she might really have suffered a loss. !”

Yunxiang leaned back, coughed dryly, and said, "Let's talk about the errands. When I left Beijing, the emperor had a decree, asking me to go to Jingling to visit my fourteenth brother, and wanted to call him back to Beijing to help my eighth brother (Yunsi) organize the flag affairs. . Now that Nian Gengyao has been sentenced to death, Longkodo's house was ransacked and imprisoned in the beekeeping road, remembering his meritorious service in following the late emperor during the Western Expedition. The emperor planned to pardon him and ordered him to go on a long business trip to Altai and The boundary of the Rakshasa State Conference. Firstly, if the mission is done well, it can be reused. Secondly, if he stays in the capital, it is easy to get mixed up with the Ba Ye Party, which will not be beneficial to Yunhu and Longkodo. The matter of the Fourteenth Master is right. In the flesh, he is not exactly the same as the Eighth Brother. He and the Emperor are from the same mother and are the closest flesh and blood brothers. Recently, the Emperor's dragon body has not been very well. I said that the Emperor's face is haggard, and the Emperor said, 'I can't sleep well. As soon as I closed my eyes, I dreamed of the Queen Mother, saying she missed my fourteenth brother. The Emperor had some pimples under his chin. He took too much medicine to clear away heat and eliminate evil, which also hindered his stomach qi. No matter how bad his mood and temper were, it only made matters worse."

"You know the temper of the Fourteenth Master." Fan Shiyi guards Jingling and is also responsible for "looking after" Yun. He should not be silent about Yunxiang's words, so he said, "According to this slave, the Fourteenth Master has been It seemed that he had figured it out. After Wang Jingqi's incident came out, he took Cai Huaixi, Qian Yundou and Yindi beside him. Now he was so angry that he didn't comb his hair or wash his face every day. He walked around Jingling with a gloomy face. Daquan, when he returned to the cemetery hall, he sat there all day long, eating what was given, drinking what was given, and not taking what was given. He even said that he should cut out his tongue, and he looked like an idiot! Think about it, he is also a dragon and a phoenix. Sun, it’s really sad to see him at this point."

Yunxiang listened in silence for a long time and said: "Old Fourteen is a hero after all. Cai Huaixi and Qian Yundou were sent by the court to look after him, but they cheated and colluded with Wang Jingqi to join forces with Nian Gengyao to cause chaos. This way You are a bastard who specializes in trapping your master in an unjust situation. What is there to worry about?" Fan Shiyi said: "Cai Qian and the others just want to kidnap the Fourteenth Master. The Fourteenth Master himself doesn't seem to know the details. As far as I can see , The Fourteenth Master feels sorry for this Qiao Yindi." "Is this worth it?" Li Wei smiled, "It's true, the Fourteenth Master, no matter how I look at Qiao Yindi's appearance, I can't compare to the Fourteenth Fujin. She is obsessed with this woman, and everyone is obsessed with it. And he is said to be a heroic prince!”

"Everyone is obsessed with the authorities. Isn't it the same for you, Li Wei? The emperor's family law was the strictest in the vassal house back then. Why are you not afraid and getting along with Cui'er? If it weren't for Mr. Wu, the forerunner, you might still be doing this in the emperor's mansion right now. Where are the coolies?" Yunxiang said, suddenly remembering that he had been imprisoned for seven years, and when he was released, two women committed suicide for him, and he felt pain in his heart.Then he changed the subject and said: "Send the people back to Beijing. Don't be busy returning to Nanjing to take up the post. Go and see Prince Bao Hongli and Guobele Hongshi. They all have errands for you. Cao Yin's son Cao has been transferred to Beijing, and his debt has not been repaid. The emperor said that you should chase after him, in order to prevent the Cao family from wandering around Nanjing and hiding their property. In addition, the Yizhihua female bandits are promoting the White Lotus Sect in Jiangxi, and some suppression matters must be discussed with Hong Kong. I will discuss the matter with Li. I talked with Hongli before I left the capital. He is very knowledgeable. It would be better if you can wait for me to come back. If you can’t wait in time, just follow Prince Bao’s instructions."

Yunxiang said, and a military academy came in from outside, holding a lacquered letter in both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, this is from the Military Aircraft Department, six hundred miles urgent." Yunxiang took it and opened it under the lamp. When I looked at it, I found a letter written by Zhang Tingyu, the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Minister of the Study Room, and the Minister of Internal Bodyguards:
Veteran Zhang Tingyu reported to Prince Yi: According to Fengtian General Izhang Amizha, Princes Lebutuo, Prince Guo, Chengnuo, Prince Yongxin and Prince Rui who were stationed in Shengjing all attended the consultation meeting of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and came to Beijing to help with flag affairs. .I think that these four kings are all the leaders of the Eight Banners. They are hereditary princes and have been stationed in Fengtian for many years. They are not allowed to enter the capital unless they are ordered to do so.After questioning Yu Hongtu, the official of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and other officials, they all said they were unaware of the matter.After hearing the report to the emperor, the emperor ordered his ministers to ask King Yi if he knew about this matter. He was eager to report it urgently. He must not hear the secret, and he would be burned after watching.

After Yunxiang finished reading, he put the letter and envelope together, lit the candle, and watched thoughtfully as the roll of paper burned to ashes.When Yin saw Fan Shiyi and Li Wei staring at him, he smiled and said: "Don't be stunned, the things in the letter have nothing to do with you." Yin stood up, took the lamp to another table, and wrote with a moist pen: Privy Minister Hengchen: I am inexplicably surprised when I read this.These four kings followed the emperor's edict and raised them to heaven, and they never interfered in politics.Who in Xiang dares to summon him to Beijing privately without asking for an order?In order to rectify the flag affairs, I was commissioned by Prince Lian Yunhu. I hope that the situation will be reported to the emperor quickly so that the four kings do not need to go to the capital. Xu Tu will find out the true meaning and Yun Xiangcao.

After writing it, he sealed it with fire paint himself and handed it to the military academy. He said: "Take a few people back to Beijing at night and hand them over to Zhang Tingyu at dawn. Remember, if you rush to Beijing after the fourth watch, Zhang Tingyu has already gone to Changchun." Spring Garden, you will definitely see Prime Minister Zhang at the double gates at the entrance of the garden. If he has already entered, ask the guard Zhang Wuge to take care of him. Otherwise, you are not allowed to show it to a third person, do you understand?"

"Cha! Understood!"

"Go!"

Watching the military academy exit, Fan Shiyi and Li Wei looked at each other, seemingly at a loss.Li Wei said, "It's late at night..." Just as he was about to stand up, Yunxiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Sit down for a while. I'm a little uneasy tonight." Fan Shiyi suspected that the letter just now had caused him trouble. The prince felt uneasy, so he said: "Thirteenth Master, please retire first. No one in the camp will know when I return to Malingyu tomorrow. I need to send someone to inform you first and make room for the prince." Gao Qizhuo is in Jingling now. The prince said he wanted to meet him just now, so he needs to inform him. He originally said he would leave for Tailing in the next few days..."

"It's not a big deal for me to see Gao Qizhuo, at least it's not an urgent matter." Yunxiang's eyes were faint, moving imperceptibly under the light, "He has good Feng Shui and is showing the underground palace to the emperor; I want to ask him to show me the underground palace. Also pay attention and choose a place to live. I have already written to him and told him that it doesn't matter who I see or not this time." He pondered and suddenly asked: "Fan Shiyi, how many troops does your Malanyu Mausoleum Guard Camp actually have? ?”

"Back to Thirteenth Master, there are thirty-two thousand and seventy-three people on the roster. Excluding those who are on business trips and the patients...the number of thirty thousand people who can be called on immediately for business is only 73."

"How much space do you eat?"

Fan Shiyi seemed a little surprised and glanced at Yunxiang.Yunxiang said with a smile: "Don't look at me. The salary is low. Which general doesn't take the quota? The court is trying to find a way. Don't feel embarrassed. Nian Gengyao doesn't take the quota. That's because he is fighting in the west. The fire in the military salary He was full after spending money. Nian Gengyao granted him death, and the Ministry of Household and Military Affairs investigated his private wealth and found that it was only 10,000+. In fact, I have an account in my mind. He seized 70 taels of gold from Kumbum Monastery alone, but none After paying the bills, together with the suppression of 'bandits' in the mainland, he cleaned up several towns. I estimate that his private wealth totals around 1000 million taels of silver. I'm afraid it has been hidden for a long time. Tell the truth, how much emptiness did he eat?"

Fan Shiyi knew that lying in front of someone like Yunxiang would be humiliating oneself. He blushed and said with a smile, "My master is a prince who has trained in the military. He will not tell lies in front of real people. All the people who come to my station are from the imperial court." Senior officials, the number of entertainment is large, it only takes up the space of three to five hundred soldiers..."

"I just said that I will not pursue this matter." Yunxiang smiled and then said, "Malingyu is an important place, not only because Jingling is the resting place of ancestors. It also controls Xixi. Fengkou, at the same time, coordinate the three important areas of the country: Beijing, Rehe, and Fengtian. Once something happens, your soldiers will be used at any time, so you must follow the rules. Don't imitate the Jiangnan camp. Half of the soldiers lead the family and the other half are in name only. It's useless to pull it out in actual combat. Do you know the pros and cons?"

"This slave will lead the training. Follow the Thirteenth Master back to the camp and ask the Thirteenth Master to supervise. I will replenish all the troops."

"By the way, don't take advantage of the quota." Yunxiang nodded, "But you have to take care of your social activities. I will pay you 3000 taels per month from the military expenditure of the Ministry of War. You don't want to just flatter the official, that's a bottomless pit. You have to learn from your brother Fan Shijie, who doesn’t buy into anyone’s account except the emperor, and you, the chief soldier of the Yulin Army, are the only ones with enough weight.”

"Yes! Thank you, Master Thirteen, for your understanding!"

Fan Shiyi and Li Wei looked at each other. Yunxiang's words sounded like instructions and warnings, but also contained a bit of solemn comfort, like a heart-to-heart talk, and he was calmly arranging military affairs. It was unclear what he was thinking. What.Both of them felt that it was related to the urgent message sent by Zhang Tingyu just now.But if Yunxiang didn't say anything, how could they dare to ask?Li Wei sighed: "Actually, the finances of the imperial court today are much better than they were when the Holy Ancestor was there. The emperor wants to refresh the official system. I think he has caught three things."

"There's no big reason to say it," Li Wei always had a smile on his face, "The first is integrity, the second is cutting expenditures, and the third is increasing revenue."

"A cliché."

"Yes." Li Wei said with a smile, "But the emperor said that all clichés are the words of sages. Putting aside increasing revenue and reducing expenditure, how knowledgeable is the word 'incorruptible' alone? Do you want Lao Fan Lian to not take the empty quota? But his annual salary was only 160 taels, and he couldn't be honest even if he wanted to. Lu Longqi was the most honest county magistrate in the hands of the Holy Ancestor. A county magistrate died with the posthumous title of "Qingxian". Who has ever had this honor? But at home, Now that it has declined to such an extent, girls are required to show their faces and pick mulberries to make a living! So there is no system, and even if you want to be honest, you can't be honest! Fan Shiyi's brother Fan Shijie is a man, and the Thirteenth Master is the most confidant of the current emperor. I'll tell you the truth. He said that the previous annual report that there was no deficit in Jiangnan Province was false. I levied heavy taxes on prostitutes in the Qinhuai River and paid the money from the prostitutes who sold their meat to cover the debt. It is true that there was no deficit in Henan Province. Where is Tian Wenjing? When he was a governor, and now he is a governor, he squeezed the officials hard and still lost money. The officials didn't know how to waste gold and silver, so they forced the common people. Now go and listen to the beggars in Shandong, Anhui and Jiangnan, ten of them have Nine of them have Henan accents. Is this a long-term solution to treating corruption?"

Yunxiang's eyes gleamed when he heard this.After a long time, he touched his knees and sighed: "What you said is very true. However, you, Li Wei, can't hold the position of Governor of Liangjiang for a lifetime. What if you go to Henan to be Governor? There is only one Yellow River in Kaifeng and no Qinhuai River. You little beggar will never be the governor of Henan." Where to extract money?”

"I have a way." Li Wei said firmly, "Since last year, I have started to return the fire to the public. The provincial capital will coordinate the arrangements. According to the hardship, happiness, fatness, and weight of each official's vacancy, he will be given Yanglianyin. The first-class county has a vacancy of 3000 for one year. Two, the middle one is 500 taels, and the low one is 2000 taels. In the spring of this year, I asked Wang Mingqipai to kill the Sheyang County Magistrate. Damn it, you took my money to support the incorruptible, and you are still not honest, so Li Wei will take the knife - - So there are no upright officials in my Jiangnan province, but there are no corrupt officials either. I think this method is successful! I had secretly reported it the year before last, and the emperor sent it to Nian Gengyao. The old man said that Li Weishao had done a great job, and he was a man of good words. Sir, this system has not been implemented. Now that Nian Gengyao has passed away, the old words are brought up again. Please say it in front of Long Live, don't let Li Wei fall behind others."

Yunxiang nodded and said: "I have read your excerpt. The emperor personally approved it. There is a typo of 370, and it is not as clear as it is. I think this method is successful. It should be clearly promulgated and implemented by the whole country. In the past, Nian Geng Yao Longko was in the way, but now it’s gone!” He stood up excitedly, as if he wanted to say something else, but suddenly he thought of the four iron hat kings coming to Beijing, and his heart sank, his eyes dimmed, and he coughed a few times. He made a loud noise and hurriedly covered his mouth with a handkerchief. His mouth was fishy and sweet, and he knew it was blood, so he even threw the handkerchief into the charcoal stove.
