Cui Shao took the lead to stand up, and the others also stood up one by one at this time, admonishing Ye Mingsheng to take a long-term view, and their reasons were that the court had just experienced turmoil, and Ye Mingsheng should be in charge for the sake of the stability of the court. Center·························
Although Gu Sansi also did not support Ye Mingsheng's southern tour in his heart, he felt that Ye Mingsheng was a little too hasty, and wanted to persuade Ye Mingsheng to stabilize for a while before going on the southern tour, but he saw Li Jian, Xiao Lingyu, Chen Fu and others They all followed Cui Shao to advise Ye Mingsheng. Gu Sansi hesitated for a while and finally remained silent!
Ye Mingsheng's obstruction was completely unexpected. He smiled and waved his hand and said:
"I understand everyone's thoughts, but this time Ye Baode's rebellion was just an accident. Except for a few bad apples, the officials and soldiers of the imperial court are all loyal and reliable. I, Mr. Ye, believe in everyone!"
Cui Shao heard this and spoke again:
"Commander, the southern provinces have just been pacified and the local situation is not yet completely stable. Now is not a good time to patrol the south. Commander, please wait for a while to find another opportunity to patrol the south!"
Ye Mingsheng heard this and said calmly:
"It is precisely because the southern provinces have just been pacified, so I have to personally appease them and let them feel the kindness of the imperial court!"
After Ye Mingsheng finished speaking, Cui Shao immediately wanted to say something more, but Ye Mingsheng took the lead and continued:
"Third uncle, I've made up my mind, so let's make this decision! The court will be presided over by you, San Si and Li Jian. I don't think there is any problem... ··
Hearing Ye Mingsheng call himself "third uncle" in front of everyone, Cui Shao, who felt Ye Mingsheng's determination, still frowned and disagreed with Ye Mingsheng's decision to tour the south at this time, but he didn't say anything else!
Ye Mingsheng has always paid attention to official matters, so he would only call him third uncle in private, but on occasions like now, he would always call him official!
Therefore, when Ye Mingsheng breaks this convention, it is enough to prove that Ye Mingsheng has thought deeply and made up his mind to do this!
And what Ye Mingsheng decided will not be changed easily, so as a minister Cui Shao can only choose to compromise!
When Li Jian, Xiao Lingyu, Chen Fu and others saw that Cui Shao had stopped talking, they all immediately shut up and stopped talking. Seeing this, Ye Mingsheng also ended today's meeting.
After the meeting, everyone left, except Gu Sansi who stayed. When Ye Mingsheng saw this, he also let him into the study and asked lightly:
"You don't agree with my current southern tour?"
Facing Ye Mingsheng's inquiry, Gu Sansi nodded and said:
"I support your southern tour, Commander-in-Chief, but I think the southern tour is too urgent now!"
At this point, Gu Sansi paused, glanced at Ye Mingsheng's expression, and then cautiously suggested:
"I think it would be best if we postpone the southern tour for a few months..."
When Cui Shao of Zhongyong Hall was admonishing Cui Shao just now, Gu Sansi actually supported his suggestion in his heart. However, at that time, Chen Fu, Xiao Lingyu, Li Jian and others all followed Cui Shao to admonish, which made Gu Sansi feel a little worried. That's why he didn't choose to second the proposal at that time, but waited until now to speak to Ye Mingsheng privately!
After listening to Gu Sansi's words, Ye Mingsheng completely understood what he meant. He immediately looked at Gu Sansi with some admiration and said lightly:
"This time on my southern tour, I don't plan to just go to Jiangnan and Huainan. I plan to visit Qilu, Hebei, Henan, and Jingchu to conduct in-depth research on the lives of the local people. Therefore, there will inevitably be some delays on the way, so I need to leave in advance! "
As soon as these words came out, he thought twice and there was no problem, and he immediately spoke:
"The commander-in-chief is thoughtful and thoughtful, which is beyond my reach!"
Ye Mingsheng shook his head when he heard this and then said:
"Think twice, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. It is your responsibility to govern the imperial court. If you think there is something wrong with Zhao Wanxian's work, you can
With a good hammering, although Zhao Wanxian is a capable person, some minor flaws still need to be corrected! "
Hearing what Ye Mingsheng said, Gu Sansi was a little surprised and didn't know what Ye Mingsheng was thinking. He hesitated and said:
'Chief Ambassador Zhao is a rising star and a pillar of talent, and his humble position will naturally help him grow...
Although Gu Sansi was very sincere and sincere when he said this, Ye Mingsheng still clearly felt a hint of insincerity, but Ye Mingsheng just smiled at this, and then cared about Gu Sansi's life, and then let This official minister has left!
After Gu Sansi left, Ye Mingsheng took out a memorial from the drawer and read it slowly. Although he had read it several times, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he read it again!
This memorial was written by Jiang Yuyan to herself in Feiyanzhai. In the memorial, Jiang Yuyan first admitted her mistakes and said that she had indeed used some illegal means and done some wrong things when promoting the savings business!
Jiang Yuyan first criticized herself, believing that the reason why such a situation occurred was that she was eager for success, eager for quick success, and would do whatever it took to achieve her goal!
But secondly, Jiang Yuyan also said that although some of the court's policies have good intentions and are intended to benefit the people and improve people's well-being, they always encounter difficulties in local implementation!
The most prominent one is the problem of lazy administration. After Ye Mingsheng raised the income and benefits of Communist Party members and severely cracked down on corruption, the official administration of Dazhou has also been greatly improved. Some officials no longer dare to do anything. Accept the idea of filial piety!
After Ye Mingsheng increased the weight of political performance in official assessment, although most people chose to strive for political performance in order to make great progress, a considerable number of people chose to govern by inaction... ···············
In the eyes of some people, mistakes are inevitable when working, but as long as you don't work, you won't make mistakes, and you can't do it for political achievements. So since there is no hope of improvement, it's better to just make it as comfortable as possible!
Anyway, now that my income and benefits have increased, I can rely on the imperial salary and my family can be very comfortable, so instead of working hard, I might as well let nature take its course. As long as I am not greedy or embezzling, then my official title will be stable. !
With this idea in mind, even though the Chief Secretary asked all governments and counties to help promote the savings business of Rishengchang Company, many local gentlemen were just showing off!
For this reason, Jiang Yuyan also thought of many ways, but in the end they had little effect. In order to complete the performance requirements and give Ye Mingsheng a satisfactory answer, she finally chose the old method of sending red envelopes!
With the blessing of red envelopes, gentlemen from all over the country finally cheered up and cheered for the Rishengchang bank and helped the Rishengchang bank absorb money from the public!
In addition to the lazy local government, there are currently some people who are eyeing Rishengchang's money. They collude with each other and try to use various methods to rob Rishengchang's money through loans, because This involves the issue of internal and external collusion, which also gives Jiang Yuyan a headache!
The third point is the issue of commercial loans, because Ye Mingsheng asked Jiang Yuyan to establish Rishengchang Bank and promote the savings business with a big original intention, that is, to solve the problem of farmers' difficulty in borrowing and high interest rates... ···············
In past research, Ye Mingsheng found that farmers in this era have very poor ability to resist risks. Various reasons such as common floods, locust plagues, droughts, and illnesses can cause a farmer or a family to go bankrupt!
Under such circumstances, many people have no money to farm, so they can only sell their land or mortgage it. The high interest rates make it impossible for many farmers to repay their loans, and in the end they have to Being able to become someone else's tenant can be exploited by others, and this also aggravates land annexation to a certain extent!
Therefore, in order to solve this problem, Ye Mingsheng also wants to ask Rishengchang Bank to provide loans with low interest rates, so that farmers do not have to borrow from black-hearted loan sharks!
At that time, Ye Mingsheng had considered that some people would use various methods to arbitrage loans, so Ye Mingsheng adopted a one-size-fits-all approach, that is, only Rishengchang Bank was allowed to provide loans to farmers, and Rishengchang was not allowed to The bank provides loans to other merchants or craftsmen in various forms!
However, in actual practice, Jiang Yuyan found that these merchants did have a need for loans, which also led to the existence of many underground Q-banks in various places. They used many methods to lend money and earn high profits from it!
Generally speaking, they just make profits from borrowing money, but there are also many underground Q-banks that lend you money, and then control your business and industry step by step, and finally achieve the goal of occupying the magpie's nest. There are even more vicious ones, such as dove-taking. If the magpie's nest is not enough, your family will be destroyed.····················
Therefore, Jiang Yuyan also advised Ye Mingsheng to allow the bank to provide loans to other merchants, thereby solving the needs of merchants in this regard. These underground Q shops are fundamentally different!
In addition to the above, Jiang Yuyan also played the emotional card with Ye Mingsheng, expressing how difficult it is for her to run such a big career as a woman!
Although she had Ye Mingsheng as her backer, the wealth was so exciting that men from all over the country wanted a piece of the pie. She was also under great pressure. She often couldn't sleep at night. Even when she fell asleep, she would wake up from nightmares, her hair It also fell off a lot, and wrinkles began to appear in the corners of my eyes.
At the end of the memorial, Jiang Yuyan also attached an account book to Ye Mingsheng, an account book in which she sent red envelopes to dozens of masters in Jiyu and Qilu!
Looking at the name and amount on the account book, Ye Mingsheng felt angry at first, but in the end he felt frustrated!
Although Ye Mingsheng knew very well that as long as he was a human being, he could not avoid the existence of greed, but he believed that under his governance, the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty had been greatly improved, and only a few black sheep were still greedy and unrepentant. !
However, the account books sent by Jiang Yuyan made Ye Mingsheng realize that his idea was wrong. Although the official administration of Dazhou has been improved to a certain extent, there has not been any fundamental change. A considerable number of people only need red envelopes. They dare to take...
It was precisely because of Jiang Yuyan's memorial that Ye Mingsheng made up his mind to tour the south. He wanted to see what problems existed in the area that should be solved but were not!
Ye Mingsheng feels that these problems cannot be discovered or understood in the study room of Ye Mansion. Only by going deep into the ground to conduct on-the-spot inspections can we understand!
Ye Mingsheng has decided that the first stop of his southern tour this time is Jiyu, and letting Zhang Zhiwen serve as the chief envoy of Youyan is also the first step of Ye Mingsheng's plan!
The reason why Ye Mingsheng appointed Zhang Zhiwen as the chief envoy to Youyan was not because his name was not in the account books given by Jiang Yuyan. In fact, in Jiang Yuyan's account books, among the officials at the level of chief envoy to Hebei and Qilu, there were only Murong Yuliang did not collect any money, but only received a pair of jade bracelets!
Jiang Yuyan gave a total of 3,500 taels of silver to Zhang Zhiwen in three installments, and also bought a house for Zhang Zhiwen in Yujing so that Zhang Zhiwen could hide his beauty in the Golden House of Yujing!
Although he knew that Zhang Zhiwen had this problem, after careful consideration, Ye Mingsheng finally chose to let him serve as Youyan's chief envoy... ·····
The most important aspect of this is that Zhang Zhiwen does have this ability. Whether in Liaoyang or in Hebei and Henan, he has proven with his political achievements that he has the ability to lead the development of dozens or even millions of people in a place!
Compared with this ability, three thousand five hundred taels of silver and a few women are really not a big problem!
To be honest, among the several deputy chief ministers who have been inspected so far, the minimum amount is 30,000 taels of silver, and the maximum amount is 100,000 taels of silver. Zhang Zhiwen is the only deputy chief minister-level official in Jiang Yuyan's account book who has not taken the initiative to ask for bribes!
Apart from his ability, there really is no other suitable candidate for choosing Zhang Zhiwen!
Let’s not talk about Lao Jinjin’s achievements, but let’s talk about Youyan’s current envoy Zhuang Shanhe. He is indeed a capable official and has good personal character.
Compared with Zhang Zhiwen, he may be cleaner morally. After all, he has never been on duty in a county, chief secretary or other yamen before!
But there was one thing Zhuang Shanhe did that made Ye Mingsheng very disgusted, that is, when Sun Jingan came to Yijing on the first day, he deliberately made an excuse to go to Yuyang and did not greet Sun Jingan.
Although Zhuang Shanhe's excuse was very good and impeccable, Ye Mingsheng knew very well that it was Li Jian who tipped off Zhuang Shanhe, so Zhuang Shanhe knew that Sun Jing'an was going to die, so he deliberately kept a distance from Sun Jing'an, but what he did was too obvious. It's deliberate and makes people feel bad...
