Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 267 The Plague Is Rampant
Yuan Keli pondered for a while, then lightly patted the back of Li Jing's hand and said, "Jimin, let me handle this matter!"

As he said that, Yuan Keli shook the account book in his hand and continued: "I'll take the book back to have a closer look, and think about it carefully."

Li Jing sighed and said: "Mr. Lao is bothering you, you should pay attention to rest and don't get tired!"

Yuan Keli smiled and said: "This trivial matter won't hurt me, so you don't need to worry."

Then he turned to Yu Leting and said, "Junyang, let's go, tell me about these people."

Seeing that Yuan Keli and Li Jing finished the matter in just a few words, Yu Leting couldn't help being confused for a while, as if Li Jing hadn't drawn any conclusions!How did Mr. understand what Li Jing meant?
But seeing that Li Jing didn't say anything, he had no choice but to bid farewell to Li Jing.

After leaving Li Jing's study, Yuan Keli saw Yu Leting's puzzled expression, smiled and said, "Junyang, have you brought these people back?"

Yu Leting nodded hastily.

Yuan Keli continued: "Then start the trial tomorrow! This time I will judge the case, and you will be my deputy."

Yu Leting was overjoyed when he heard that, Yuan Keli asked him to be his deputy, so he wanted to personally guide him. Not everyone can meet such an opportunity, which shows that Yuan Keli is ready to support him.

You must know that although the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is great, its rank is not high. Yu Leting's rank is only on the same level as the county magistrate.As far as this is the level given under Li Jingzhi, in fact, the imperial court official department does not have his name at all, because the imperial court of the Metropolitan Procuratorate established by Pingyang Prefecture does not recognize it at all.

The consequence of not acknowledging it is that when others return home in fine clothes, they can hold a sign and ring the gong to clear the way, but he can only return home with his tail between his legs.Even if it's a show, the sign at most says something like a certain year's scholar, a certain year's promotion, and so on. It's too far from a certain Jinshi or a certain county magistrate.

Under Li Jing's rule, the most prestigious officials served both under Li Jing and in the imperial court.Because these officials are all recommended by Li Jing, it means that once these people are placed elsewhere in the future, they will be Li Jing's spokespersons in various places, that is to say, these people will be the core members of Li Jing's group.

When Yu Leting came to Pingyang Mansion, Li Jing had already handed over the list of recommendations. In addition, Li Jing didn't know Yu Leting's ability at the time, so naturally he would not recommend him.

Now after nearly two years of hard work, Li Jing has a very good understanding of Yu Leting's ability. At this time, with Yuan Keli's advice, the next recommendation must have Yu Leting's name, which means that Yu Leting will become a core member of Li Jing Group.

And as long as Li Jing recommends it, Yu Leting will definitely be in charge of the local government.

Although the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is great, compared with the governing place, the latter is obviously more attractive, because the latter can train people better and it is easier to get promoted.

Seeing Yu Leting's happy face, Yuan Keli shook his head and said with a smile: "Junyang, you are a serious person, you have done a good job in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Marshal values ​​you very much. But your eyes cannot be limited to the work of the Metropolitan Procuratorate Actually, sometimes, you have to think about things from the commander's point of view. Otherwise, you will never be able to understand the commander-in-chief, and naturally you won't know what the commander-in-chief wants to do!"

Yu Leting nodded silently upon hearing this.

Yuan Keli patted Yu Leting's shoulder lightly and said: "Junyang, you have been in Pingyang Mansion for so long, and I think you already know Pingyang Mansion very well, so let me ask you, what do you think of what the Marshal has done?"

Yu Leting pondered for a while and said: "Everything the commander-in-chief does is for the country and the people. If he can be reused by the court, the Great Ming Zhongxing is in sight!"

Yuan Keli shook his head and said: "You don't understand the emperor's character at all. The emperor will never reuse the commander in chief. If the commander wants to save Daming, he can only rely on himself."

After a pause, Yuan Keli continued: "The commander-in-chief has done so much in Pingyang Mansion to lay the foundation for the future. In the eyes of the emperor and the ministers of the court, the rogues are a serious problem, so they spare no effort to eliminate the rogues. In Shuai's eyes, eradicating the bandits is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand.

The commander-in-chief doesn't want to fight the rogues for the time being because the time is not yet ripe. When the time is right, the commander-in-chief will destroy the rogues without the emperor's order.

In fact, if you have to carefully study what the commander-in-chief did, you will find that the real target of the commander-in-chief is Mongolia and the eastern captives.Otherwise, why did the commander put in all his effort to train the cavalry?Do you need cavalry to deal with rogues?
But the Mongols and Eastern captives cannot be conquered by force alone. How powerful was the army of the Han Dynasty during the Han Dynasty?But the Huns never surrendered.

Obviously the commander-in-chief has long known that force alone cannot solve the problem, and other means must be supplemented.This method is what is needed to control the lives of Mongolia and Donglu. As long as you grasp this, you will grasp their lifeline. When supplemented by force, Mongolia and Donglu can only submit obediently. "

Yu Leting suddenly realized: "I understand, the commander-in-chief built so many factories to lay the foundation for this, and the reason to support so many businessmen is to do this."

Yuan Keli nodded with a smile and said, "Exactly! However, it is not easy to open up trade routes in places such as Mongolia and Donglu. Donglu has business contacts, if these people have to be killed to rebuild the trade route, it will take several years of work. But how do we have so much time to do this? Therefore, these businessmen must not be killed!"

Yu Leting heard this in silence.

If these people are not killed, then other businessmen and officials who committed crimes cannot be killed, because the laws set by Li Jing are not for a certain person, and if they commit the same crime, they must be treated equally.

Of course, Li Jing could use his privilege to pardon a few of them, but that would reduce Li Jing's prestige, so it was absolutely impossible for Li Jing to use his privilege to pardon them for these businessmen.

Obviously, after reading the roster, Yuan Keli understood what Li Jing meant, so after a few words, he took the initiative to ask Ying to be the presiding judge.

This shows the tacit understanding between Yuan Keli and Li Jing, and also understands why Li Jing attaches so much importance to Yuan Keli.

Compared with Yuan Keli, even Shen Zheng couldn't reach this level.

Seeing that Yu Leting understood what he meant, Yuan Keli patted Yu Leting on the shoulder lightly and sighed: "When you do things, you must put the overall situation first, and don't worry about some things, otherwise you will appear petty. You and Jimin are mine. Student, but in terms of the overall situation, you are far behind Jimin, you have to pay more attention to this aspect in the future, otherwise how will you assist Jimin in doing things in the future?"

Hearing Yuan Keli's encouragement to himself, Yu Leting nodded heavily.

……

When Li Jing was troubled by corrupt officials and profiteers in Pingyang Mansion, Zhu Youjian's life was not easy.

It was so easy to get through the five years of Chongzhen. Unexpectedly, the six years of Chongzhen did not wait for the beginning of spring, and troublesome things followed one after another.

Since the beginning of the year, Zhu Youjian has been busy with money. Hebei rogue bandits resurged and asked for money for the rogue bandits. After defeating Kong Youde in Denglai, Shandong, he asked for money as a reward for the soldiers. The frontier army asked for money for their salaries. One thing is that someone asks him for money.

However, this year's spring Fu was confiscated again, and the salt class below could not be collected. At the beginning of the year, the 50 taels of silver sent by Li Jing disappeared without even hearing a sound. Zhu Youjian was so worried that his hair turned gray up.

In desperation, he had no choice but to send Wang Chengen to Pingyang Mansion to discuss with Li Jing about borrowing money.

In fact, Zhu Youjian also knew that Li Jing was not as well-off as he seemed on the surface. Last year, there was a flood in Henan, and Li Jing went to Henan to provide relief. For more than 200 million victims, all food was from Li Jing, and Li Jing spent all the food. More than 40 taels of silver.

Then Li Jing moved more than 30 disaster victims to Shanxi. How did these people not eat or drink when they first came?All of them had to be supported by Li Jing.Calculated, Li Jing spent at least 100 million taels of silver for this disaster relief.

Li Jing still has so many troops in his hands, and Li Jingding's military salary is still high, at least 300 million taels a year.

However, due to the heavy rain last year, Li Jing's most profitable salt factory was greatly affected by the inability to produce.

Although Li Jing's bank is also a money business, Zhu Youjian also knows that the bank's money cannot be moved casually. Once there is no money to pay the merchants who save money, the bank will close down if it says it will close down.

However, Zhu Youjian knew that if he didn't ask Li Jing for help, he might not be able to pass this level now. The soldiers had no pay, and once they mutinied, the consequences would be even more serious.

What Zhu Youjian didn't expect was that Li Jing asked Wang Chengen to bring back 20 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain under such a difficult situation.

At first, Zhu Youjian was very annoyed when he learned that Li Jing sent [-] shi of grain, because Zhu Youjian knew that it would cost a lot to transport the [-] shi of grain. Wouldn't it be better to just give it to him?

However, Zhu Youjian immediately thought that with Li Jing's character, he would never do anything thankless, and there must be other reasons for spending so much effort to deliver him food.

Sure enough, after asking, Wang Chengen said that these are high-yielding crops, and told Zhu Youjian about the harvest of Pingyang Mansion.

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately ordered the promotion of these crops.

If Zhishi is like this, Zhu Youjian's view of Li Jing may change a lot, but after hearing Wang Chengen's recitation of Li Jing's words, Zhu Youjian immediately became angry.

On the surface, what Li Jing said was to criticize the improper system of the imperial court, but in fact it was to criticize him for not being an emperor.

Zhu Youjian's character is self-willed and self-willed, so he naturally cannot tolerate criticism from others. He had a bad impression of Li Jing at first, but this time it is naturally worse.

Moreover, Zhu Youjian was still considering candidates for the leader of the siege of the rogues. After hearing Li Jing's criticism, he immediately ordered Chen Qiyu to be appointed as the governor, and unified command and dispatch of the siege of the rogues.

Zhu Youjian had just appointed the candidates, and then heard the news of a plague outbreak in Shanxi. Hearing this news, Zhu Youjian's expression changed drastically.

Although Zhu Youjian did not see the severity of the plague, it was recorded in the palace's historical materials, and he knew how much damage the several plagues had caused during the Wanli period.

But now he has no money and no power to prevent the plague. The only thing he hopes for is Li Jing, hoping that Li Jing can prevent the spread of the plague. At the same time, he will send several imperial doctors to Pingyang Mansion to assist Li Jing Prevent the plague.
