Lord of the House

In Jiangning, Chenyuan on the south bank of Zangjin Bridge and Yuqian Street are separated by a song of Qingchi. It is in the clear autumn and August. The summer heat in Jiangning has not receded.

In the Fucui Pavilion in Chenyuan, Li Zhuo was wearing a blue shirt, holding a chess piece in his hand, but he had not put it on the chessboard for a long time. , or throw the pieces into the chess box.

"Why is Li Shuai hesitant?" The middle-aged man sitting opposite Li Zhuo was nearly fifty years old, with a black face and a beard, and a tall stature. If he hadn't been wearing a Confucian shirt and a scribe scarf on his head, others would have thought he was a general of the five and three thick. He is the Zuo Shilang of Jiangning's Ministry of Officials and Jiangning's Zuodu Yu Xinyuan. Yu Xinyuan squinted at Li Zhuo and said with a smile, "The Chu Party is too fast, Li Shuai is too clumsy to deal with it?"

Yu Xinyuan and Li Zhuo were jinshi who passed the examination in the same year, and at the same time they were appointed as chief officers of the Criminal Department. Li Zhuoji went to Jiangxi as the deputy inspector, and was later recommended by Chen Xinbo to serve as the Jiangxi inspector and the governor of Dongmin. However, Yu Xinyuan belonged to the Wu Party faction and did not have a good relationship with Chen Xinbo. He was kicked to Jiangning with Chen Xiyan and other Wu Party officials. He has been serving as the Zuo Shilang of Jiangning's Ministry of Personnel and Jiangning's Zuodu Censor, and has not moved his nest for six years.

Li Zhuo didn't answer Yu Xinyuan's question, he took out another white stone from the chess box and landed it on the chessboard. Speaking of another matter, he asked, "Chen Xiyan made a bad chess move, and the Xixi Society will not stay there anymore. For you to be the leader of the Wu Party?"

"If you're talking about the lectures of the Xixi Society..." Yu Xinyuan chuckled, "Chen Xiyan is in poor health and is returning to his hometown to recuperate, so I will reluctantly preside over the Xixi Society for him temporarily."

Gao Zongting stood aside, his gaze fell on the chess piece.

Since the great scholar Chen Huangzhou gave lectures in Xixi Society, Xixi Society has been the most important gathering place for Qingliu scholars who stayed in Jiangning to give lectures and discussions. Zi Qingliu is closely linked with the children of local aristocratic clans, and the world calls it the Wu Party or the Xixi Party.

Since Chen Huangzhou, the person who presided over the lectures of the Xixi Society was the leader and leader of the Wu Party. It can be said that in Jiangdong County, the leader of the Wu Party speaks more effectively than the Xuanfu envoy.

Chen Xiyan is a native of Jiyang County, Pingjiang Prefecture, more than a thousand miles around Taihu Lake. At this time, the rampant East Sea pirates are causing people to turn down, and Jiyang can not be peaceful; Chen Xiyan returns to Jiyang at this time, so naturally he cannot rest in peace.

In the final analysis, he was still implicated by the Qu Jiatong bandit case, and Chen Xiyan's reputation plummeted. If he does not lead to his dismissal, there will be cracks within the Wu Party that cannot be bridged; Yu Xinyuan is here to turn the tide.

The Qujiatong bandit case was Chen Xiyan's bad move, and it also made the emperor completely die of his expectations for Chen Xiyan. Compared with Chen Xiyan, Yu Xinyuan may not be slightly less capable, but his prestige and qualifications are ultimately insufficient. The Qu Jiatong bandit case is a major setback for Wu Dang.

Li Zhuoman casually sat down with Yu Xinyuan, and Gao Zongting could see that there was always worry on his brows.

Yu Xinyuan was also watching Li Zhuo secretly, and said casually: "Gu Wuchen's disciples used refugees to build a village camp in Chongzhou. The villagers thought it was a bad start, and there was a lot of discussion about this. What does Li Shuai think?"

"Crack!" Li Zhuo fell heavily, and there was a crisp sound from the chessboard. Li Zhuo took his hand and said, "The local government sent a copy of the article to me, and the Refugee Minister copied it for me, and the refugees are not the same. Born to be scattered people, most of the people gathered on Xisha Island are from Zhongzhou. Under the whole world, none of them are kings, and they are not kings. The people of Chongzhou are kings, and the people of Zhongzhou are not. Is it not a king? Furthermore, the displaced people have made great efforts to live and work in Xisha Island, and they will become the people of Chongzhou over time. Moreover, Chongzhou was still a tidal flat before the founding of the country, and several people living in Chongzhou did not come from other places. Moved in? I think it's better to treat this matter specially..." Afraid that Yu Xinyuan's face would not look good, Li Zhuo added another sentence and said, "It's not an example..."

Yu Xinyuan thought to himself that when Li Zhuo was serving as the inspector in Jiangxi, all the rogues were recruited into the army to serve as personal soldiers. Maybe he had no idea about Lin Fu setting up a village camp among the refugees, but in any case, Lin Fu was the Gu family of the Chu Party. The disciple, Li Zhuo did nothing in Jiangning, and had a lot to do with the suppression of the Chu Party. He agreed with Lin Tie's establishment of a village camp on Xisha Island, but Yu Xinyuan was still a little surprised.

Yu Xinyuan thought again: In the local military equipment, the chief inspector has the most power to speak, and Gu Wuchen was newly appointed as the inspector of Jiangdong, and it was indeed inconvenient to dwell on this issue at this time.

"It seems that this matter can only be handled in this way," Yu Xinyuan said. "In addition, Yanjing heard that Zhang Xie intends to impose a city tax to make up for the lack of national funds. What does Li Shuai think?"

Gao Zongting stood by and said nothing, but he could guess what Yu Xinyuan was thinking: The Chu Party levied the city tax to supplement the government's lack of state funds, so it must first try it out locally. Yu Xinyuan was worried that Jiangdong County would be related to Gu Wuchen. Bear the brunt.

Gao Zongting followed Li Zhuo to fight in East Fujian for several years, and knew that money and food should be the priority in governing the army.

Liu An'er's rebellion extended to Dongyang, Huai'an, Weiyang, and Haozhou. The calamity of the extravagant family can only be said to be a little solution. It is not known to what extent the East China Sea bandits will be strong. This summer in Jiangxi is another major disaster. Civil chaos is like a spark of fire. A little relaxation can become a prairie prairie. In a troubled autumn, what can be done to eliminate such a big hidden danger?

The extra levies and sects to search for the common people will only make the people overwhelmed and turbulent. The Chu Party has shifted the target of widening the source of money from the Tian Ding Shui plus sect to the municipal tax, which is to reduce the burden of the common people and let the people open up. The local aristocratic families should take more responsibility, and the big idea is correct. The so-called "pulling a hair to benefit the world without doing anything", the increase in city tax revenue touches the fundamental interests of aristocratic families and local governments, and the resistance is unimaginable.

Gao Zongting couldn't see what the Chu Party could do in the center, but he didn't know how the commander would respond to Yu Xinyuan's question.

Li Zhuo put his hands on both sides of the chessboard, and said, "I have only been concerned about military affairs for many years, but I have a shallow understanding of what to do with the national funds.

Li Zhuo is tired of the court's strife but suffers from being powerless to break free. At present, nearly half of Jiangdong County is suffering from military disasters and bandits. If a tiger is locked in Jiangning, you can feel at ease. In his opinion, Yu Xinyuan is not someone who can turn the tide. He has just replaced Chen Xiyan within the Wu Party, and what he seeks is only to restrict Gu Wuchen. Infiltration and control in the Zhejiang and Zhejiang regions.

This seat could not be regarded as a happy conversation. After a game of chess was left, Yu Xinyuan said goodbye and left.

After sending Yu Xinyuan to the mansion gate, Li Zhuo and Gao Zongting said, "There is still a mess left, you can finish with me."

Gao Zongting accompanied Li Zhuo back to the Fucui Pavilion and said, "Why don't you clean up and start the next round, and there is no urgent business to deal with today?"

"How can the fallen pieces be packed back into the chess box!" Li Zhuo sighed.

Gao Zongting was slightly startled, knowing that Li Zhuo was worried about national affairs, just as Li Zhuo said, it would be much easier if the world could be overthrown and cleaned up again, so he grabbed the chess pieces and played with them.

"I'm worried about the direction of Haozhou," Li Zhuo said to Gao Zongting, who had followed him for many years, holding the chess piece in his hand, "Liu An'er's troops have been dormant in Hongzepu for more than two months, and in such an emergency, the Changhuai town army has no money to spare. The pay is not enough. Although there are good news from Zuo Shangrong from time to time, but the longer it drags on, the more I worry about the direction of Haozhou. If Haozhou is lost, the rioters in Hongzepu will join Huaishang and Zhongzhou together. The achievements of the Qing bandits were destroyed in one go. Horse thieves and rogues who were dormant or retreated into the mountains and forests in Huaishang, Zhongzhou and other places due to the Qing bandits will become active again, and may even be twisted into tighter forces. The situation in the hinterland of the Central Plains may be more severe than before. ten times……"

"The East China Sea bandits have to worry about it," Gao Zongting said, "At this time, I hope that Ninghai Town will suffer a big defeat..."

"Do you think the Ninghai Division collapses and the court will use me?" Li Zhuo asked Gao Zongting, he looked at Gao Zongting for a moment, then shook his head and said, "If the Ninghai division is defeated, it will only further prove that the town army is already rotten and unusable. , the court will naturally not take the Jiangning navy to take risks. Gu Wuchen is in Jiangdong, and will advise the court to increase the scale of editing and training rural brave... I think his idea is still feasible~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The key is to find a suitable You have seen the Battle of Hekou with your own eyes, how can Lin Fu train as a soldier?"

"Gu Wuchen uses Lin Fu as a knife ambassador, so he may not be relieved to use him. In the end, Lin Fu is too sharp," Gao Zongting said, "After the Hekou incident, Lin Fu went to Xisha Island for disaster relief, went to Taihu Lake to raise food, and participated in Taihu Lake. To suppress bandit incidents, at this time, they set up a township camp on Xisha Island without authorization. Although they were temporarily suppressed, nothing was settled according to the rules..."

"We just played according to the rules..." Li Zhuo sighed, tapping the chessboard lightly with the pieces.

Gao Zongting knew that Li Zhuo regretted handing over all his military power. He was like a tiger locked in a cage in Jiangning. No matter how capable he was, he could not do anything about the crisis that Jiangdong County was facing at this time. Besides, it was impossible for the Chu Party to increase Li Zhuo's strength. The opportunity for prestige, sighed slightly, and said: "Lin Fuzhibing should be the first choice, although this person is very ambitious, he is basically to settle people's livelihood, and many things are secretly opposed to the extravagant family. Available is available, but his qualifications It's too shallow, if we just lift him secretly, I'm afraid it won't do much."

"It may not work, the key is how to lift it," Li Zhuo said. "Gu Wuchen is now an inspector, how long do you think he will endure before he officially invites him to open a prison city in Jiangdong?"

"Prison City?" Gao Zongting's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Jiang is still old and hot, I really didn't expect to be able to take a slanted sword and take a risk."

Lin Fu took the post of the prisoner of Jinchuan Prison Island, and Gu Wuchen was like opening a prison city, and the chief officer of the prison city was also Lin Fu.

Li Zhuo smiled slightly, and then said: "This strategy is feasible, but it can only make the east side a little more peaceful, and it is necessary for Lin Fu to be available..." My QT room is open! More vulgar official QT room number [9167] Click to enter
