The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Wang Yue was so proud that he suddenly felt light on his face. He used to beg this kid with a shy face, but now he finally found some face.

"My dear nephew, it doesn't matter. I can answer your questions and help you with matchmaking. If you like any girl, just tell me and I will give you a betrothal gift when you get back."

Yan Chengjin handed over the memorial letter. After Wang Yue read it, he pondered for a few times and his face became a little solemn.

Sighing: "Your father doesn't know something. Over the years, the granary has received less food and less food has come out. It's not that simple."

"Please elaborate, sir."

Wang Yue paced and said: "In the past, merchants transported grain in exchange for salt. In addition, local military and civilian households in the border areas also paid grain in exchange for money. But now that the salt law has been changed, there are no merchants transporting grain. Military border granaries , naturally without food.”

Yan Chengjin was puzzled: "But there are also local military households and civilian households in the field who can pay grain in exchange for money?"

Wang Yue looked at him deeply: "My dear nephew, I don't know, but someone has changed their ways to prevent military households and civilian households from paying food.

In the past, you could pay grain if you paid ten shi, but now the government has raised the stipulation that you must pay five hundred shi before you can pay grain in exchange for money, otherwise the government will not accept it.

Which civilian household or military household has so much food? "

It is easy to collect ten shi of grain, but it is difficult to collect 500 shi of grain.

This is a different approach to prevent military households and civilian households from selling food to the government.

Wang Yue was well aware of the twists and turns, and suddenly showed a touch of cunning: "My nephew has found the right person when he is looking for me. I not only know the secrets, but also know who the person is who is not allowed to sell grain."

Yan Chengjin asked He Neng to serve him a pot of fine tea.

Wang Yue said happily: "When people sell grain to the government, let's just say they sell rice. One stone can get two coins of silver. Merchants can also get two coins of silver if they sell rice to the government."

However, the government stipulates that rice will not be collected until it reaches five hundred dan, so the people can only sell the rice to the merchants. However, the merchants buy it for one stone and one qian of silver, and then sell it to the government for one stone and 2 qian of silver. In this way, they make a lot of money in vain. Money. "

Yan Chengjin understood instantly: "Which businessman has such great power and can drive the government?"

Wang Yue laughed loudly: "Others may not have it, but my relatives do. They are both officials and businessmen. Let's be honest. The ones who caused trouble in the Ningxia Prefecture are actually the Zhang brothers."

Zhang brothers Ning Shouhou and Jianchang Bo, the biological brothers of the current queen?

Yan Chengjin guessed that these two people definitely did it without telling Emperor Hongzhi. The mountains in Ningxia were high and the emperor was far away, and Emperor Hongzhi was beyond his reach.

But is this difficult to do?

My father's memorial was to confront the two brothers of the Zhang family. Although I don't know the queen's attitude towards this matter, compared with his biological brothers, my father is still an outsider after all.

Seeing his frown, Wang Yue smiled and said, "I can definitely do this for you. Let me do it."

Yan Chengjin was a little shocked by Wang Yue's realization. Could it be that he wanted to repay his kindness?

Wang Yue's face turned red, and he stood up with a sense of righteousness: "I am now the minister of the Governor's Mansion of the Fifth Army. Logically speaking, this military ration is also a matter of my job. It is not a big deal. It is definitely not a big deal."

Yan Chengjin smiled and said: "Sir, please have tea."

Wang Yue rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, and blinked his eyes: "My dear nephew, actually I also have something to ask for. I have almost finished writing my confession, and now it is almost time for your majesty to give you the number. I can't do it anymore. Do you want to read the book I wrote?”

In the past, we did not dare to impeach the Zhang brothers because he was still in the position of the trilateral system and was wearing shoes, so it was difficult to do anything.

Now that you are barefoot, are you still afraid of a bird?

When an official leaves, he feels lighter, but when he leaves, his name remains clear.

He has served as a great minister, fought as a warrior, fought victorious battles, and been a great scholar who is famous all over the world. He has never seen glory and wealth, and has never played with fireworks or willow alleys.

This life is worth it!

The only little wish I have now is to be granted a title by His Majesty, and it will be fulfilled.

Yan Chengjin took out a stack of manuscript paper from his sleeve and said, "These manuscripts were originally left to my father, but now they are given to Mr. Wang."

Wang Yue was ecstatic, but he said in his mouth: "How can this be done, how can it be done!"

He was trying to push it away with his mouth, but his hands grabbed it honestly.

When I saw the title of this manuscript, "How is a General Made?"

Wang Yue was overjoyed. Isn't this book tailor-made for me? In my life, the most I have ever been is a general!

Yan Chengjin originally planned to regard this book as a sublimation of his father's work. Now that he has become a general, it is just right to write this book.

However, giving it to Wang Yue is not considered buried. Speaking of it, it is more suitable to be written by Military God King Yue.

Although the Ming Dynasty's novels were brilliant, they lacked diversity, and there were still many fields that we didn't know how to explore, which buried the talents of the literati of this era.

Mr. Chuanshi is highly respected by scholars, and he can make a lot of money if he thinks about it.

"Sir, please wait!"

Wang Yue became more vigilant. He immediately covered the manuscript tightly and held the hilt of the knife in his hand, as if he would fight with anyone who dared to grab it: "Good nephew, a scholar can't go back on his promise."

Yan Chengjin shook his head: "The manuscript naturally belongs to you, but for the rat eradication operation a few days ago, the official donated 20,000 taels of silver. Now that the family is in trouble, the share of the manuscript fee..."

Wang Yue smiled contemptuously: "Shibo naturally won't take any money. When I get back, I will write a memorial to impeach the Zhang brothers."

Yan Chengjin nodded.

Wang Yue's impeachment was extraordinary. Before he went to war, he served as the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which was the court's official in charge of impeachment.

An impeachment memorial can produce flowers.

Early the next morning.

Emperor Hongzhi had a memorial on his desk long ago. After reading it, he frowned and angrily said, "Marquis Ningshou and Earl Changning have engaged in such despicable activities on the border."

Li Dongyang and the other two were also shocked.

"Your Majesty, can you let us take a look?"

Xiao Jing handed the memorial to Li Dongyang.

This memorial clearly described how the activities between Earl Changning and the Ningxia government were discovered, and the current situation of the Ningxia granary.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "What is the origin of Zhu Xiang, the prefect of Ningxia Prefecture, and how could he be related to Marquis Ningshou?"

Li Dongyang stepped forward and said, "Zhu Xiang is from Cangzhou, and was a Jinshi in the previous dynasty. He and Marquis Ningshou are not only from the same hometown in Hejian Prefecture, but also relatives."

They are in cahoots!

What Emperor Hongzhi didn't understand was that the person who impeached was Wang Yue.

Wang Yue didn't have a good impression in his mind, so how could he become an honest official?

Ningshouhou Mansion,

At this time, Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling were in the main hall, eating snacks around the warm fire.

Zhang Heling took a sip of tea and said hatefully: "I heard that Zhou Yu, that bastard, got a reward from His Majesty. Brother, why don't you do it too?"

Zhang Yanling was unhappy: "Why don't you do it, brother? Brother wants to calculate my money again."

"How can this be called calculation? He cheated you and got a beating. You can't let him go easily." Zhang Heling smiled.

Zhang Yanling's eyes lit up: "Brother, what you said makes sense. If it weren't for the provocation of Zhou Yu, wearing His Majesty's imperial crown, and my sister's order to be confined for three months, this running chicken business would definitely be mine."

The two looked at each other and smiled wickedly, and they started to think about Zhou Yu again.

A new round has begun. Please collect and recommend it to book friends
