In the case of Zhejiang, the most important person is Mr. Xie Ge, who is an official in the court.
If the Xie family of Yuyao did not take the lead in opposing the imperial policy, then Wang Hao would be able to do it more easily after arriving.
It was not easy for Zhu Houzhao to create this situation... But how can I put it, in Chinese history, as long as the emperor is smarter, he will have more or less achievements, because the imperial power is still unstoppable.
Because he is here to give you the eye drops, then things will naturally be easier to do. If it is a fatuous emperor, various matters such as the establishment of the sea and the governorship of Zhejiang and Fujian will be delegated to a certain minister. That would be very difficult.
At that time, with Xie Qian as one party, many interested ministers will gather together, and with Wang Hao as one party, the two parties will fight against each other. Anyway, the emperor didn't care and wasn't smart, so both parties tried to fool him.
Therefore, the emperor is still a very key factor, which is the so-called rule of man.
The weather in June was very hot, but the road was easy to travel. Wang Hao and Wang Shouren kept going all the way, not accepting the invitations of officials along the way, and even passing through Zhejiang without stopping. They rushed to Fuzhou City as soon as possible.
Wang Qiong, the governor and chief envoy of Zhejiang, Peng Ze, the inspector-general, and Tan Wenyi, the commander-in-chief, as well as Ge Ping, the governor of Fujian, Fengxi, the chief envoy, Zhang Li, the inspector-general, and Yu Zichu, the commander-in-chief, all came to greet Bai Fu. In addition, the guarding eunuchs from the two places and the internal officials of the Hangzhou Manufacturing Bureau will also be present.
Because Wang Hao's status in the officialdom was too high, the aura of the imperial master was no joke.
The teacher of the previous emperor was named Liu Jian.
So much so that Wang Qiong, who had previously been very active and wanted to be the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian, was speechless. Even a little self-deprecating, the emperor likes this person, why should he fight?
It was Wang Hao who was followed by a particularly young young official, which confused many people. How could he gain so much trust from the Imperial Master?
The Governor-General's Office of Zhejiang and Fujian is not located in Hangzhou. Financially speaking, Zhejiang is more important. But geographically speaking, Hangzhou is located at the northernmost point. It would be quite inconvenient for the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian to place it here.
Later, the Manchu and Qing government also established a governor-general of Zhejiang and Fujian, who was also based in Fuzhou. There are two considerations. One is that Taiwan was taken back for easier management at that time, and the other is that the governor of Liangjiang was in Nanjing, and the two frontier officials... were too close.
At this time, Zhejiang has already been dealt with once in the 17th year of Hongzhi, especially in northern Zhejiang. At this time, Hangzhou will actually look top-heavy.
The Governor's Mansion has been prepared. It was probably a former manor. The front door faces the street and has the words "Zhejiang and Fujian Governor's Mansion" written on it. There are two mighty stone lions on both sides of the door, and the steps up are white marble.
The courtyard is surrounded by red walls and surrounded by green willows. After entering the gate, the corridors in the courtyard are connected, the mountains and rocks are dotted, and a plaque with the words "Gong Zhong Ti Guo" hangs on the main house. In the courtyard outside the main hall, there are large pear trees and plantains, and a pool of water, exquisite and clear. It's really a good place.
According to the size of their official positions, the two governors first described the recent situation in the two provinces, followed by the chief envoy.
Except for Ge Ping, the governor of Fujian, everyone in this room had been replaced by the emperor. Ge Ping was a timid and timid master, and he had already been frightened by the big commotion the court had made in Zhejiang and Fujian. So when Fengxi came, he ignored everything and became whatever Fengxi said.
….
Now that there is a governor sitting in the hall, he is even more happy to throw away his hands.
"After listening to what you said, I understand that the officials in Zhejiang and Fujian are speculating on what the imperial court wants. Now the officials are unsettled and their eyes are on me, the governor of Zhejiang and Fujian. Like you, come here Many people also asked me on the way to ask what the imperial court was going to do when the people were in panic. In short, it was just a garbled word. But you are all officials sent by Emperor Jian, and we cannot disturb others. In addition, what is the real purpose of the imperial court this time? , some of you know it, and some of you don’t. Those who knew it in the past did not dare to say it, so let me tell you now."
Fengxi knew it.
But not necessarily others.
Wang Hao glanced at everyone and said, "This time, the imperial court wants to lift the maritime ban and set up municipal shipping departments in each of the two provinces to manage many maritime trade matters."
As soon as he finished speaking, his lips trembled like the timid Ge Ping's.
Zhejiang Inspector Peng Ze
He was even more shocked.
Most of them, like Wang Qiong and others, were locked in deep thought with their eyebrows furrowed.
Wang Hao took a liking to Peng Ze at first glance. As he said, for such a big thing, the first step is to unify this small circle. "Jiwu (Peng Ze), what doubts do you have?"
Peng Ze is a typical Qingliu official, and he usually does not bow to authority. Since he asked, he dared to say: "Bu Tang, the sea ban is an ancestral system, and the ancestral system cannot be violated. Now there is no voice from top to bottom in the imperial court, Bu Tang When we arrived in Fuzhou, we suddenly announced that we would lift the sea ban, how could this happen?"
"It's not that I want to open the car, but His Majesty wants to open the car. I say this here to let everyone know that the sea ban is very important. We are all officials of the capital in essence, and the interests involved are not deep. But the resistance you face must be huge. So don’t be careless.”
Peng Ze was deeply shocked. He finally understood why these things were happening in Zhejiang and Fujian recently.
Anxious in his heart, he lamented: "As soon as the imperial edict comes out, not only the two provinces of Zhejiang and Fujian, but also the whole Ming Dynasty will be shaken, and the matter is vast. This has just begun, and the official circles of Zhejiang and Fujian are already frightened. When the day comes, Your Majesty may provoke a civil uprising! Especially the southeast is an important financial and taxation area. If the southeast is unstable, the capital will be unstable. But I don’t know who gave His Majesty the idea of women doing evil? I must consult him!"
This is a bit harsh to say.
Wang Shouren hurriedly took a step forward, "Ji Wu Gong, please be patient. The official circles in Zhejiang and Fujian are now shaken. This is the imperial court's intention."
Peng Ze didn't understand and didn't know Wang Shouren.
Wang Hao said: "Bo'an was a Jinshi in the twelfth year of Hongzhi. He was originally the head of the Ministry of War. During this trip to Zhejiang and Fujian, His Majesty appointed him to participate in the government affairs of the Governor-General's Office."
Wang Qiong looked this young man up and down. The emperor appointed him? He actually has such a holy scroll at such a young age.
"Wang Shenzhen, please give me some advice." Peng Ze cupped his hand.
"I don't dare to give you advice. I just listened to His Majesty's teachings. Just now, Duke Jiwu said that the southeast is a financial and taxation area, and His Majesty has naturally taken it into consideration. Now that the harvest of early rice in various places is coming to an end, it is time to plant late rice in most places. Your Majesty will choose first. The timing is determined, which means that the imperial edict to open the sea will not be promulgated until September or October, when the late rice is harvested and the canals are transported northward. This is one of them."
….
"Secondly, the reason why the official circles of the two places were deliberately shaken, and even the emperor's troops were sent here, was to frighten the local people. In other words, if the official circles of the two places were not shaken at this time, it would easily cause radical changes later. Now it is shaken, and it is shaken. The bigger it is, the less likely it is to get into trouble. Because they know that the court is serious about taking action."
Peng Ze could understand, "This is the principle of a lion fighting a rabbit, but what if there is really a change?"
Feng Xi came to explain this matter. He was a close minister and knew more. "Jiangxi and Nanzhili are already storing grain."
The room fell silent for a moment.
We are all smart people, and the meaning of this sentence is very clear. The emperor's determination has reached the level of stubbornness. If you want chaos, then chaos will happen. I will beat you into chaos, and then I will bring food in to help the victims.
It's just that next year's spring plowing will be a little late. Just ensure that this year's early rice and late rice are good.
This is a set of continuous measures, but it will be somewhat risky.
Wang Hao couldn't continue to explain at this time, and it would be even more meaningless to argue at this time, so he stood up, "Everyone, it will take two or three months. After you return to the government, you will each receive your tasks. Envoys are responsible for keeping the people in peace and cultivating the land, supervising the payment of taxes and grains; according to the inspection envoys, the light ones are changed to the most important ones. If thieves appear, they are dispatched and killed strictly without letting them spread; the commanding envoys are also the most important thing. After returning, they inspect the generals and inspect them. Review the troops, train the troops and horses, and inspect the women's work. Once the battle is in order, listen to the advantages!"
"yes!"
Everyone shouted loudly.
"Any more questions?"
Fengxi sat on the wheelchair and pushed forward hard, "Bu Tang, I don't know what is happening in Zhejiang. In Fujian, there are clans and officials who are making peace with each other, so there are five and six prefectures, including Tingzhou Prefecture, who are in arrears with taxes and grains." situation."

The so-called tax arrears does not mean that people are using your official authority to say that we just don't pay, and it's useless what you say.
Instead, they used various reasons to say that the people here did not pay and could not collect it. After a while, he said that there are many mountain roads and traffic is inconvenient. That’s the push-over anyway.
After all, the local people are familiar with the local area.
People from outside don’t know what’s going on in a local area. What can you do?
But this is a big deal.
It is also the emperor's bottom line.
The emperor has decided not to delay summer and autumn grains.
But how can we not delay the specific implementation? It is up to the officials who implement it. You can't just rely on the emperor for everything, right?
So Wang Hao also immediately attracted attention, "Wang Zhongcheng, is there such a situation in Zhejiang?"
Wang Qiong replied, "Zhejiang is relatively better off. One or two places are also in arrears, but it's probably not because of this incident. After all, Zhejiang has only just heard about the establishment of the Governor-General of Zhejiang and Fujian."
"Then Wanai, you should pay attention."
"I understand."
In this case, it is a matter for Fujian Province. As for the situation of late rice in the future, we will talk about it later.
But having said that, Zhejiang people will have to see how Fujian solves the problem.
So Wang Hao, Wang Shouren and the three Fujian envoys began to plan and solve the problem alone.
….
The problem probably started when Fengxi came. The capital officials and the local officials did not trust each other. The capital officials had won a great victory before and even issued a warning. The local officials did not dare to take any more actions.
But secretly he still started to make trouble.
"If you pay within the deadline, are there still a few governments that are indifferent?"
Fengxi submitted a document, "It cannot be said that he is indifferent. Now the prefects of Tingzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture have changed, but Jianning Prefecture and Yanping Prefecture have not yet. But even if the prefects are changed, the prefects are still the same. Even if they try hard to push for conscription, they seem to have little effect.”
"What's the crux?" This is what Wang Shouren is asking. "If there are bandits on the road, we will send troops to protect them. If there are people who take the lead and refuse to pay, we will deal with them. The people follow the direction of the wind. If the leaders are down, who else will be there?" Will you not pay?"
Fengxi pursed his lips and said, "I suspect that there are indeed big people who are causing trouble, but your Majesty does not intend to start a big scandal in Fujian..."
That's true.
But Wang Shouren waved his hand, "Now it's not about opening the sea. Now it's about paying taxes and grain. If we can't open the sea, we have to pay what is due."
"But the problem is, from the prefect, county magistrate, and even the subordinate officials, if they all secretly resist and don't work hard, how can they collect the taxes and grains?" Wang Hao seemed to be deliberately testing him.
This is a problem, the work should be done by the same group of people.
Wang Shouren thought about it carefully and said, "Minbu Tang, how about letting the subordinate be his first magistrate?"
Wang Hao and Feng Xi looked at each other. If someone took the initiative to ask for help, it would be great. Let's see how he behaves. As long as there is a breakthrough, the situation will be reversed.
"good!"
