Wang Qiong is also doing well in Zhejiang. He is now the governor of Zhejiang, just one step away from the governor.
What happened in Zhejiang is probably just a aftermath.
After raiding several families, arresting dozens of officials, and killing hundreds of people, the imperial court took over the shops and started selling them again. The movement seems big, but as long as the social order is not in chaos and the government structure is not in chaos, everything can get back to work quickly.
After the first month of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, Wang Qiong officially took office. Soon, he was transferred to the governor of Zhejiang and also served as the chief envoy, adding administrative power and military power to his body.
So we first stabilized the spring plowing and attacked the bandits who wanted to cause trouble at this time.
On the other hand, he learned from the experience of his predecessor who was deeply involved in the local area and abandoned Mei Kejia, and chose to repair each other with Mei Kejia, because he knew that repairing with this person meant repairing with the palace. As for what methods the local people should use, who should be invited, What are you talking about? He is the governor of Zhejiang. There are soldiers in the governor's office. Are you afraid of him?
Mei Kejia was in the business of selling silk.
Therefore, the Zhejiang government encouraged people to convert rice into mulberry and encouraged silk mills to operate.
As a result, society became stable, spring plowing went smoothly, and business resumed. It didn't take long for the city of Hangzhou to regain its vitality.
As for those undercurrents in the underground, or those criminal officials and criminal merchants who slipped through the net and wanted revenge, this debt cannot be attributed to him.
Wang Qiong could see clearly that what the imperial court wanted in Zhejiang was money, and what your Majesty wanted in Zhejiang was the stability of the people. If he does these two things well, there will be no chaos in Zhejiang, and his black hat will be very stable.
Therefore, the recent memorials in Zhejiang are all successful.
The abilities of Wang Qiong, a pragmatic and shameless official, began to show. Later, he also sent some gifts to the father-in-law in the palace, and the important officials in the capital who could get it also flattered him.
Except for Peng Ze, who was on duty and dropped his book bag all day long, and was angry with him, he was living a good life now.
It was today that Mei Kejia came to visit and said he wanted to go back to Beijing, which surprised Wang Qiong.
Why did you suddenly return to Beijing at the end of April or early May?
Mei Kejia did not want to explain too much, because it involved some secrets between him and Zhu Houzhao, who was still the crown prince. He only said: The imperial decree promised to return to Beijing to visit relatives.
Wang Qiong couldn't see the depth of Mei Kejia. The Spring Festival was over, so if he wanted to visit relatives, he would have to return to Beijing before the festival.
But at this moment, the servants of the mansion came over and talked into his ears.
As a result, Wang Qiongyi scolded him: "The voice is too soft to hear!"
The servant was helpless and raised his voice again.
"I said you can't hear me! Only Boss Mei is here, no outsiders, so speak louder!"
Mei Kejia lowered his head and smiled slightly. Wang Qiong sent by the emperor was quite interesting. He was smart and cunning, a little shameless but acted very righteous. He probably knew a little bit about all three religions but he was also a scholar. And you said he knew how to do things. Guan Ba, although seemingly tactful, he can also directly express his dissatisfaction with some people he dislikes.
I really don’t know how such a foreign object appeared among the scholars.
"Your Majesty! The letter from Eunuch Gu is urgently delivered by the Supervisor of Ceremonies. Please read it as soon as you receive it!"
Gu Dayong was sent to Zhejiang by the emperor. There were too many old foxes here. Zhu Houzhao thought that he had to have an honest person to tell him the truth, not 100%, but at least most of the truth. ….
"Boss Mei, please forgive me. How about I wait until I read the letter from the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"
Mei Kejia raised his hand and said, "Zhongcheng, please excuse me."
The fact that the Supervisor of Ceremonies can bring something shows that the money Wang Qiong gave him was not in vain.
The content of the letter was quite simple, eight words: The imperial court wanted to establish a governor-general of Zhejiang and Fujian.
Wang Qiong was very moved after reading this. He is forty-six years old, holds the position of governor, and is in charge of a province. As long as he has merit, he will rise to the top and become a minister. It is not a dream. If you waste time, you can reach fifty years old in just one nap, and you will know your destiny at that time!
After all, not everyone has the kind of opportunities and military exploits that Yang Yiqing has. In particular, he himself knew that his official reputation was not good. If he didn't work hard for it, he might not be able to see the Forbidden City a few times in his life.
And to be realistic, there is no such thing
The governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, he can still make decisions in Zhejiang, but with the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, doesn't he also have a shackles on him?
Therefore, being an official is sometimes the same as studying - if you don't advance, you will retreat.
As for the letter from the Supervisor of Ceremonies... the meaning is very clear, that is, the candidate has not yet been decided.
Why is it undecided?
Is it clear that he also has a chance? Yes, the governor of Zhejiang, and the next step up is the governor. How can you say there is no chance at all?
Wang Qiong walked back and forth with his hands behind his back, feeling a little anxious. At this time, he could see the difference between Beijing officials and local officials.
Poor information.
The big bosses in Beijing should have known about it, so they went about their own activities, but even if he tried hard to hand over the ceremonial supervisor, he still had to deliver it urgently, and it would take him seven or eight days no matter what.
After much thought, he set his sights on Mei Kejia again. Mei Kejia came to Beijing to meet the emperor, right?
"Boss Mei,"
"Zhongcheng." Mei Kejia stood up and replied politely.
"This trip to the capital is a long journey, thousands of miles away. I don't have anything to send you off, so I assigned a team of my own bodyguards to accompany you all the way."
Mei Kejia was flattered and said, "I am a businessman and I can't even wear silk. How dare I use a bodyguard worthy of Zhongcheng? Zhongcheng is going to harm me. Besides, with the Holy Emperor in the court, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and the four directions are stable. I believe there will be no problem."
"It's hard to say. You are in Zhejiang, but you have cut off people's financial paths. Cutting off people's financial paths is like killing your parents. You listen to me. If the court asks, just say that I forced you to do this. I will bear any responsibility. Wang Qiong then gave him another step and said: "It's not all because of you. You came from Zhejiang. What's wrong with you? Does your Majesty have to make trouble for me? If you don't take care of your head, I can't." Cherish it!"
Mei Kejia was speechless for a moment.
I told him this, and if I didn't agree, it seemed like it would cost him his life.
But for a cunning person like Wang Qiong, there is nothing wrong with him. Why does he have anything to do with you?
She is not his biological mother, so she must be asking for something.
"Zhongcheng, I am the Supervisor of Ceremonies..." Midway through his words, Mei Kejia suddenly woke up and said, "Zhongcheng is atoneing for my sins. I made a mistake."
"Don't make mistakes, don't make mistakes." Wang Qiong patted his arm, "What can't be said between you and me? I haven't avoided you, and you shouldn't avoid me either. Can you read this letter? !」
With that said, he strode back to the bookcase to get something, and displayed it generously in front of Mei Kejia. ….
"The imperial court wants to appoint a governor of Zhejiang and Fujian?" Mei Kejia was shocked after reading this.
No wonder the emperor wanted to allow him to return to Beijing to visit relatives at this time.
What does this have to do with smiling and looking good? Even if it does, it is an incidental factor.
The real factor was that the emperor was going to launch a general offensive in Zhejiang and Fujian, so he was just allowed to see his family before that!
In his impression, the emperor always acted after making decisions and was very purposeful, and would never give orders out of nowhere. Even if it's just his return to Beijing.
Wang Qiong had been staring closely at Mei Kejia's face. This businessman had too deep thoughts and would not reveal anything unless it was a big deal, but he was shocked at this moment.
So Wang Qiong knew something was going on here!
"Boss Mei, what do you mean when the Director of Ceremonies suddenly gave me these horoscopes? Are you willing to help me get the details?"
Mei Kejia slowly calmed down. He didn't know what the relationship between Wang Qiong and the Supervisor of Ceremonies was, but with these horoscopes, there was some way to think about it.
After thinking about it for a while, he said: "...I'll take a look, does the Chief of Ceremonies want Zhong Cheng to give it a try?"
"It's okay to give it a try. But apart from these eight words, don't say anything. How can I try this? Where can I try it? There are no Tatars here. If the imperial court wants to establish a governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, there must be a reason. If I want to work as hard as Yang Yiqing, it doesn't matter, but who is the enemy?" Wang Qiong openly admitted that he wanted to be promoted, without the coquettish manner of ordinary scholars.
Mei Kejia's heartbeat also began to speed up.
What Wang Qiong raised is actually a very critical question.
question.
Mei Kejia felt that since this person was able to get this information from the Supervisor of Ceremonies, it meant that he had a good relationship. However, he had a good relationship but did not know that it was for the purpose of establishing a maritime ban. In other words...
You can't talk about it!
In just a moment, Mei Kejia felt a chill on her back. If he had stopped thinking, he might have died without even knowing where the cause of his death was!
"On this point, maybe Zhong Cheng can use his connections to inquire further?"
Wang Qiong narrowed his eyes, "You don't know?"
"The next businessman has no official position, how do you know?" Mei Kejia looked directly into those questioning eyes, but his heart remained unmoved.
Wang Qiong didn't get what he wanted, so he could only laugh and laugh at himself, "Yes, yes. Look, I am Lao Hu Tu. But, Boss Mei, do you think there is hope for me?"
"Zhongcheng has outstanding abilities and serves the king and the people. Even if he can't do it this time, he will always do it in the future. Even joining the cabinet to worship the prime minister is not impossible."
"I won't think about it when I enter the cabinet to pay my respects to the Prime Minister. I'll just talk about things in Zhejiang, Boss Mei. Zhejiang was a very turbulent place before. You don't like it, and I don't like it either. After I come, everything should be very different. Right? So as long as I'm here, Boss Mei, you don't have to worry about anything."
Mei Kejia heard it, it was a word to win over.
But this wooing is very high-level, because in this aspect, their interests are symbiotic. Wang Qiong has been here less than half a year and has just settled down. To be honest, he doesn't want to fawn over or get along with a new person anymore.
"Zhongcheng, is there anything I need to do?"
As soon as Mei Kejia said these words, Wang Qiong felt comfortable. It was different from talking smartly, because people could catch the words.
"It's nothing. Regarding Zhejiang, Boss Mei, just report it truthfully."
Oh... Mei Kejia understood. This was asking him to speak kindly in front of the emperor.
"I'm a humble person, so don't be surprised if you look forward to the Prime Minister when the time comes."
Wang Qiong was delighted when he saw that he had agreed. His words were worth a hundred words. Because he is in Zhejiang, his words... the emperor is easiest to believe.
So he smiled and said, "Don't blame me for whatever you say... Just try our best between you and me and understand each other."
