Although he was still a little unwilling in his heart, Zhao Wanxian understood with reason that what Wang Qinghe said was a good word. The commander-in-chief was very fond of Gu Sansi. Even if he had some small handles on Gu Sansi, he might not be able to completely defeat him. The Minister of Official Affairs of the Great Zhou Dynasty···························
And if Gu Sansi cannot be defeated, then I am afraid that I will fail to defeat the tiger and suffer the consequences. It is easy for Gu Sansi to embarrass himself if he holds the power of the official department!
Thinking of this, Zhao Wanxian also nodded and said:
"Brother Wang, what you said makes sense. It's not easy for me to confront Gu Sansi now. It's not good for me!"
Wang Qinghe on the side also secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As a local official in Liaoyang, because he saw Zhao Wanxian's talents and the commander-in-chief's trust and blessing in him, he also felt that Zhao Wanxian's future was boundless, so after passing After careful consideration, he also chose to move closer to Zhao Wanxian.
This time, after being blocked by Gu Sansi because of his transfer to Youyan, Zhao Wanxian was furious and wanted to find trouble with Gu Sansi. Gu Sansi has always been honest and very principled, so it is very difficult to directly catch him!
But some people related to Gu Sansi do not have such high requirements for themselves, and they have even done some illegal things!
Therefore, it is relatively easy to make a fuss about them and involve Gu Sansi. Zhao Wanxian wants to use this to retaliate against Gu Sansi... ···
After Wang Qinghe learned about Zhao Wanxian's idea of retaliation, he always advised Zhao Wanxian not to cause trouble and act rashly. After all, Gu Sansi was currently in power, and the chance of winning in a direct confrontation with him was too small. However, Zhao Wanxian was angry at the time, so what advice could he give? They couldn't even listen and insisted on taking revenge on Gu Sansi!
Therefore, Wang Qinghe was also very worried, but fortunately, before Zhao Wanxian had time to take action, news came from Yi Jing. Although under Gu Sansi's dissuasion, the marshal did not let Zhao Wanxian serve as the chief envoy of Youyan, but later At the cabinet meeting, the commander-in-chief asked Zhao Wanxian to be transferred to Jiyu to replace Murong Yuliang as chief envoy!
The position of Chief Minister of Hebei and Yu seems to have dispelled some of the anger in Zhao Wanxian's heart and allowed Zhao Wanxian to calm down. This also made Wang Qinghe feel at ease a lot. After all, once Zhao Wanxian really clashed with Gu Sansi, he would definitely be punished. Implicated!
And now that Zhao Wanxian has endured this, he can save a lot of trouble!
Just when Wang Qing was relieved, Zhao Wanxian looked at him and said with a smile:
"Brother Wang, during the time I was in Liaoyang, you helped me a lot and saved me a lot of effort. I will keep this in mind. Before I am transferred to Jiyu this time, I will go to Yijing to report my duties to the commander-in-chief! "
"Although the commander-in-chief has ordered Wang Chunlai to take over the position of chief envoy, I will definitely fight for the position of deputy chief envoy with all my strength, letting the commander-in-chief know that brother Wang, you are also a rare talent!"
As soon as these words came out, Wang Qinghe felt happy and immediately bowed deeply to Zhao Wanxian and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your cultivation..."
Why did Wang Qinghe take the risk of being hated by others and move closer to Zhao Wanxian? The reason was nothing more than "promotion"!
As the saying goes, there are people in the court who like to be officials. However, he, Wang Qinghe Ka, has been involved in politics for several years, but he has never been able to make any progress!
There is nothing more than a critical person in each country. Say a word for him at the critical moment!
Therefore, Zhao Wanxian's promise now makes Wang Qinghe very excited. He knows that the commander-in-chief trusts Zhao Wanxian very much. Therefore, if Zhao Wanxian recommends himself to the commander-in-chief, then his position as deputy chief envoy will most likely be guaranteed!
Wang Qinghe couldn't help but feel happy when he thought that he was one step closer to the position of chief envoy that he dreamed of!
Seeing the joy on Wang Qinghe's face, Zhao Wanxian also said solemnly:
"Brother Wang, this is what I should do. I know that you have suffered a lot of grievances at work because of me. Don't worry, I, Zhao Wanxian, am not a careless person. This is just a start.
At first, in the future, you and I, brothers, may not be able to be in the court at the same time! "
Listening to the pie that Zhao Wanxian drew for him, Wang Qinghe sighed secretly in his heart, but still pretended to be moved and said:
"This humble position will definitely follow Mr. Zhao!"
Seeing Wang Qinghe's expression of tears of gratitude, Zhao Wanxian was also very satisfied and after a few words of comfort to Wang Qinghe, he let Wang Qinghe leave... ········
However, what Zhao Wanxian didn't expect was that Wang Qinghe, who was sitting on the carriage returning home, was completely unmoved, and his eyes were only cold and rational!
Although Zhao Wanxian promised to recommend him to the commander-in-chief as the deputy chief envoy of Liaoyang this time, Wang Qinghe had already made up his mind to keep a distance from Zhao Wanxian in the future and even get rid of his status as Zhao Wanxian's assistant!
As Zhao Wanxian's main subordinate working in Liaoyang, Wang Qinghe could actually feel from early on that although Zhao Wanxian was very talented and diligent, and he also had strict requirements on himself, during his tenure as the chief envoy of Liaoyang, he was faced with money and beauty. Wait for the temptation to be flatly rejected many times!
But Zhao Wanxian is not a saint. His weakness is that he is very average in his tolerance. Sometimes he is not only petty but also vindictive!
Once Zhao Wanxian's paranoia gets the better of him, even nine bulls will not be able to pull him back. No matter what, he will fight you to the end!
Although Wang Qinghe was aware of this before, he didn't realize it very deeply. However, this time Zhao Wanxian insisted on taking revenge on Gu Sansi, which made Wang Qinghe completely see Zhao Wanxian's true face, and this also made him feel cold. cut!
Originally, Wang Qinghe thought that Zhao Wanxian had the talent of being a prime minister and assistant, but now Wang Qinghe thought that Zhao Wanxian would be unworthy of being a minister, and because of his measured and grudge-holding nature, he might not have a good end in the future!
Therefore, in order to avoid being implicated by Zhao Wanxian, Wang Qinghe had already had the idea of jumping ship, and now that Zhao Wanxian was transferred from Liaoyang, it just gave Wang Qinghe this opportunity!
Now Wang Qinghe only hopes that after serving as deputy chief envoy, time can dissipate the connection between the two and dissipate the mark of Zhao Wanxian's helper on him. Then he will be satisfied. As for the pie painted by Zhao Wanxian, it will be fine. Anyone who really believes it is stupid...

Yi Jing, Ye Mansion
Ye Mingsheng, who just took a nap, returned to the study and stretched out his waist. Ye Mingsheng found that naps really can't last too long. If you sleep a little longer, you won't be able to sleep at night. But if you don't After taking this nap, sometimes I feel really sleepy while working in the afternoon.
Just when Ye Mingsheng was a little worried about taking a nap, Ye Cheng also brought a stack of memorials, brought them to Ye Mingsheng and introduced them to Ye Mingsheng:
"Commander, this is a budget report from Minister Zhang Juning of the Ministry of Revenue on the southern tour. He believes that this southern tour will cost at least 300,000 taels of silver!"
"This is a memorial sent by Wang He, the Commissioner of the Coordination Office, from Dongdao. He wants to introduce you to the situation on Dongdao!"
"This third document is about the progress of the negotiations between the Minister of Rites, Su Shilang, and the Luo Bei Ministry on the matter of becoming a vassal!"
"The remaining ones include the memorial sent by Lord Qi from Guanzhong by Qi De, and some matters related to the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Punishment, but relatively speaking, they are not that urgent!"
Ye Mingsheng frowned slightly when he heard this. Seeing this, Ye Cheng poured a cup of tea into Ye Mingsheng's empty tea cup and then left the study.
Picking up Zhang Juning's budget report on the southern tour, Ye Mingsheng started to read it. He was a little curious about how Zhang Juning calculated the cost of at least 300,000 taels of silver... ·······
However, after just a few glances at Zhang Juning's report, Ye Mingsheng threw it on the table. According to Zhang Juning's report about the ceremonial expenses of the southern tour, Ye Mingsheng felt that 300,000 was not enough at all, or even 500,000. No
After a drizzle, even one million taels of silver may not be able to stop it!
Ye Mingsheng's idea for his southern tour is very simple. The principle is to save money if possible. The purpose of the southern tour is that Ye Mingsheng wants to go deep into the bottom and find solutions to some contradictory problems!
Ye Mingsheng didn't want his southern tour to become a problem in itself. He didn't want to increase the burden on some local counties because of his southern tour!
This time, Ye Mingsheng only planned to bring about 3,000 people with him on this southern tour, including more than 2,000 escorts, more than 100 accompanying officials and generals, and finally more than 100 accompanying maids and servants. As for the female family members, Ye Ming Sheng planned to take none of them with him. After all, his southern tour was not to enjoy the mountains and rivers, but to experience the suffering of the people!
Ye Kui, the commander of the Guards Battalion, was the first to object to Ye Mingsheng's idea. He believed that Ye Mingsheng's defense force of more than 2,000 people was simply not enough. In addition to the soldiers and horses of the Guards Battalion, at least there should be Liangzhen Camp mobilized two battalions of troops to assist in defense, so that Ye Mingsheng's safety could be ensured...
Although Ye Kui was thinking about Ye Mingsheng's safety, Ye Mingsheng had already made up his mind. In terms of security, in addition to his own protection, he would also have garrison troops from various provinces assist in defense. In this way, safety would be guaranteed. of!
In terms of expenses, Ye Mingsheng also plans to use Ye Mansion's money as much as possible to reduce local expenses and avoid increasing the local burden due to the southern tour!
In general, Ye Mingsheng hopes that the cost of his southern tour will be controlled within the range of 100,000 taels of silver to 200,000 taels of silver, so as to achieve the effect of spending a small amount of money to accomplish big things!
As for the route of the southern tour, Ye Mingsheng has already decided that the first stop is Jiyu. Although he got the account books given by Jiang Yuyan this time, considering that Qilu has not yet ended, Jiyu, as the imperial court's finances, must not be messed up, so Ye Mingsheng did not make any announcement and did not arrest people according to the accounting books!
Although he has not yet started taking action, this does not mean that Ye Mingsheng chooses to indulge and tolerate. Ye Mingsheng chose Hebei as the first stop of his southern tour. In addition to seeing the development results of Hebei, he also wanted to solve this problem. Minimize the negative impact as much as possible·························
The second stop of the southern tour will be Qilu. Gu Sansi and Cui Shao both agreed to tell themselves that the investigation in Qilu was almost complete and Ma Runchuan should be able to develop with peace of mind!
After thinking about this, Ye Mingsheng also gave his advice. After all, the spring plowing is getting closer and closer. As the chief envoy, Ma Runchuan is also under great pressure. He also needs to convey some trust to him so that he can concentrate on dealing with the spring plowing first. This level!
When the spring plowing in Qilu is over, he can go to Qilu to take a look at the spring plowing and see how Ma Runchuan is doing in Qilu!
After Qilu's inspection, they will go to Huainan. Ye Mingsheng plans to listen to Murong Yuliang's report on the revival of Huainan and see what help the court can provide!
Finally, the most important thing is Jiangnan. Ye Mingsheng plans to hold a meeting of Jiangnan merchants. Ye Mingsheng will give a public speech to convey to them the determination of the Yijing court to encourage business development, especially their efforts to expand overseas markets. support, and the welcome they receive from inland markets.
In addition to these concepts, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development is also discussing some preferential policies and is preparing to give these merchants some benefits...
In addition to the sweetness, Ye Mingsheng is also ready to scare the monkeys. At present, the Coordination Office has targeted several companies with bad behavior and engaged in illegal activities, and has obtained actual evidence. They are just waiting for Ye Mingsheng to arrive in Jiangnan to uproot them. , giving some small shock to Jiangnan merchants!
After leaving Jiangnan, the southern tour was planned as a return journey. On the return journey, Ye Mingsheng would not repeat the same route as when he came. He planned to take the Jingchu and Anqing routes back to Hebei and Henan. If possible, Ye Mingsheng also wants to go to Sichuan to have a look!
In short, due to the constraints of transportation and time, Ye Mingsheng feels that he may not have many such large-scale inspections in his life!
Therefore, it is rare to come out once. Ye Mingsheng hopes to see as many as possible
Look at the customs and customs of each place and understand the actual situation of each place so that you can adapt accordingly!
Ye Mingsheng has great expectations for his southern tour. He hopes to lay the foundation for the development of Da Zhou in the next five to ten years, put Da Zhou on the fast track of development, and greatly improve the comprehensive national strength. In this way, Only in this way can he support his ambition to go overseas and move towards the deep blue!
Ye Mingsheng always believed that if Dazhou wanted to avoid internal friction, it could only export and use overseas resources to feed itself. There was no other way... ·········
