Chapter 329 Suspicion
Nowadays, foreign trade is basically concentrated in several coastal prefectures, whether in the north or south.
The merchant paid the goods tax in Hangzhou Prefecture, but when he arrived at other prefectures, he refused to accept it.
Therefore, at that time, Wu Zheng did not think about implementing this taxation plan immediately, but only taxed goods passing through Hangzhou Prefecture.
But as Wu Zheng launched the Northern Expedition, this matter gradually became a success.
It is true that businessmen pursue profits, but businessmen know better how to seek profits and avoid harm.
The prosperity of business often requires peace, at least relatively peaceful.
Wu Zheng's Northern Expedition dragged several states north of Hangzhou into war. Naturally, merchants learned goods and funds were safe, so they tended to trade in Hangzhou Prefecture. This is normal.
Afterwards, Wu Zheng led the army to advance rapidly, which made Hangzhou Prefecture relatively large rear.
Not only foreign merchants concentrated in Hangzhou City to trade goods, but even merchants from all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang chose Hangzhou.
So, the scene that Wu Zheng saw before was the merchants and goods were like crucian carp crossing the river.
Zhu Mai was placed in the Mojia Manor for a while.
The court officials and their families were arranged to the ranks of the governor's office.
That night, Qian Sule and Zhang Huangyan and others gathered at the yamen of the governor to discuss the matters after Yingtian Prefecture.
But before discussing everything, Qian Sule said in a deep voice: "Sir, I must have seen all the situation on the shore today?"
Xiong Rulin casually said: "I saw it, but I didn't expect that the soldiers and civilians in Hangzhou were so enthusiastic. The morale of the army and the people were available. It's worth revealing."
Sun Jiaji also said: "In just a few months, the newly restored Hangzhou Prefecture has to be managed to such an extent, and the Northern Expedition has to be fought. Jinghai Hou has made an important contribution. This time the imperial court returned to Beijing and should discuss the Jinghai Hou's first contribution."
Zhang Huangyan also nodded and said, "What Mr. Sun said is exactly what I want, and Huangyan also has this in his heart."
Qian Sule was shocked. This was not the case, so he said angrily: "Didn't you see the banners held by the people?"
Qian Sule's attitude made the faces of several people become solemn.
Such a large banner was facing them, not that they didn't see it, but they just chose to ignore it.
In fact, if you really need to pursue it, there is no fault in these slogans.
It’s just that the speaker is unintentional, and the viewer is intentional.
If Wu Zheng was not a hero of the Northern Expedition, had not recovered Nanjing and had not had so many military achievements, perhaps even Qian Sule would not have been concerned about it.
But the problem is that this fits an idiom called "high merits and greatness are the masters."
Qian Sule pointed out this so that several people had to be serious. They were in high positions and represented the court.
Qian Sule said in anger: "If this is in another prefecture, the people would just hold such banners, but they can be regarded as ignorant of the foolish people. But Hangzhou Prefecture is the prefecture that Wu Zheng has been operating for several months. He came to the riverside to welcome the Superintendent of the Superintendent. He actually raised the banner that welcomed Wu Zheng himself, and what else would the Hangzhou military and civilians support the Jinghai Hou? Where is the governor, where is the imperial court, and where are you and me?"
This is the tone and deed of an upright and upright person.
From ancient times to the present, the loyal ministers have looked like this.
Often, a big thing can be exaggerated, and impeachment becomes a monstrous case.
This is not criticism or ridicule. The verbals report it when they hear the news. In order to attract the attention of the emperor and the court, they often exaggerate it. This is a tone, which has always been there.
Qian Sule actually has no malice in his heart, but just like Ma Shiying said, righteous people and honest ministers may not be beneficial to the country and the people.
Facing Qian Sule's questioning, everyone was silent.
Although they were the backbone of the imperial court, they were not so stupid that they wanted to compete with Wu.
Just kidding, in the court, Qian Sule is probably the only one who dares to openly confront Wu Zheng.
This is not how powerful Qian Sule has, but that he is Wu Zheng’s father-in-law in name.
Everyone was thinking in their hearts that no matter how arrogant Jinghai Hou was or how ungrateful he was, he had great military achievements. Besides, he welcomed His Highness and the court to the north and returned to Nanjing. In the face of crisis, he led the army to rescue him when all the officials and the country were in danger. This was a real thing for everyone to see.
Now I have to use a few banners raised by the people to pursue such an important official who has just made great achievements and has made great contributions to his achievements. Isn’t this full and full?
As your father-in-law, you can teach you a lesson at will, but what are we?
Isn't it necessary to annoy Wu Zheng, but Isn't it?
Besides, Xiong Rulin, Sun Jiaji and others have no entanglement with Wu Zheng, but they have good friendships. At least they are always polite when they meet. What a bad thing they are for such a small matter for no reason?
So, everyone lowered their heads and was silent, as if they hadn't heard Qian Sule speak.
Qian Sule didn't get anyone's response, and felt even more angry.
Pointing to Zhang Huangyan, he said, "Zhang Cangshui, I know you have close contacts with Wu, and are called brothers, but don't forget that you are a minister of the Ming Dynasty and a minister of Your Highness."
Zhang Huangyan originally wanted to calm down the situation, but when Qian Sule pointed out such a name, a fire rose in his heart and said, "Mr. Qian, if you are really dissatisfied with Jinghai Hou, you can impeach Jinghai Hou to Your Highness the Superintendent, or you can go to the place where Jinghai Hou is staying, close the door, and scold Wu Zheng. Why do you need to mention such matters when the court discusses the matter of returning the capital?"
This directly points out the relationship between Qian Sule and Wu Zheng, and closes the door and scolds Wu Zheng.
That would be like to say clearly that my father-in-law taught his son-in-law a lesson.
If Qian Jinxuan had already left the house and married into the Wu family, it would be fine.
But after all, he hasn't passed the door. After all, Qian Sule may not dare to come to the door now and point at the face of a Jinghai Hou of the dynasty to scold him.
Therefore, when Zhang Huangyan was so angry, Qian Sule stood up and wanted to leave.
Fortunately, Xiong Rulin and Sun Jiaji were intercepted, and Zhang Huangyan also realized that he had been too much. After all, Qian Sule was an upright person and what he said was not for personal gain.
So he stood up and bowed, "Stop being angry, Huang Yan is rude."
Qian Sule then groaned and turned back to her seat.
Xiong Rulin said this time: "Mr. Qian is devoted to the court and his highness's plan. This is beyond doubt. However, it is not a peaceful era after all. It is normal for generals like Jinghai Hou to have a heavy army. You only need to choose the right person, give a warning in private, and warn me. Besides, Mr. Qian, we must also be wary of the recurrence of the resentment case of General Yuan's resentment!"
Xiong Rulin's words really make sense.
Often, military officials who can fight and capable will be a little unruly, and this has been the case in all dynasties.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, even if the emperor would give up a little, of course, if he had a private straitor with the emperor or was suspicious of the emperor, he would end up in a very miserable way, such as Yuan Chonghuan.
