The court has always been doing things without any rules, and it is difficult to change it. Officials are lazy in their work and do not like to make trouble without any trouble. The Ministry of Works used Fujian iron to build various cannons and bird guns, which have become a prescribed rule. Armor, waist knives, and gun tips of iron guns. Almost all kinds of iron are used to buy Fujian iron. Of course, Fujian iron is high, and some not very important military ordnances also use northern iron, but the amount is not high.

There are no exceptions, and this is also the unspoken rule of the court. It not only involves disputes over interests, but also the power of Fujian Iron is very scattered. More than a dozen counties in Fujian have iron ore. Marketing in the north is only a small part of Fujian Iron. It is mainly based on fine iron. The Ministry of Industry will also buy some square iron, and various military towns will also buy some Fujian Iron. In addition to military use, the sales volume of Fujian Iron among the people is not high, so the interest chain of Fujian Iron in the court is not solid. If Lingqiu Iron wants to join the Ministry of Industry, the most difficult thing is the bureaucratic laziness... This is called Li Shenming's feeling amused and crying.

To many people, if the Fujian Iron is replaced by Jin Iron, it is a matter of nothing to make a mistake. Even if the Jin Iron is a little cheaper, it will not work. This will make many people feel troublesome and troublesome. They don’t want to do these serious official duties, let alone such extra troubles.

Under the decades of lazy politics in Wanli, the atmosphere in the officialdom has also become very bad. Everyone can recommend it when encountering problems. They do not take charge of everything and cause less trouble. Even some yamen have not had a regular seal official for a long time... Later generations said that the political system of the Ming Dynasty was proficient and could operate freely without a chief official. In fact, in fact, many yamen do not do anything at all... No matter how bad the matter is, I will do it myself. Lingqiu Tie wants to exclude Fujian Tie and enter the list purchased by the Ministry of Industry. The biggest target of the struggle is such a bureaucratic system.

Li Shenming, who knew the truth, felt almost helpless and helpless.

“The same is true on the lower side.”

A local tyrant and a big broker in the capital like Li Guobin also has many relationships in the officialdom, but the results of inquiry are similar to those of Li Shenming.

It is a good idea to get some money from the lower level officials of the Ministry of Workers who have no moral integrity, but if you want to open up the joints of the upper level, you can't even get the relationship between the two Lis.

When the two were at a loss, Li Shenming's eldest follower knocked in and reported, "Master, there is a man named Wang outside, who said it was the second cabinet of the branch. If you have something to do, come to see the master."

"Second cabinet?"

Li Shenming knew that the shopkeeper of the Jingshi branch was very powerful, and he was the deputy who was often accompanied by Zhou Fengji. After Zhang Han's training for a long time, he was placed here as a shopkeeper. Not only the Jingshi, but also several branches were hosted by this big shopkeeper. After all, the market was changing very quickly, and Zhang Han could not control the subtle management in Lizhuang. There were several shopkeepers in such a region, all of whom were very smart and capable. However, Li Shenming, the deputy shopkeeper in the sub-community, didn't know much about it. He was a little hesitant and didn't know what the second counter was going to find him.

After pondering for a while, Li Shenming said, "Please come in."

After a moment, someone pushed open the door and a tall young man walked in.

The snow outside had not melted, and the weather was very cold. The young man was wearing a coat of black fox fur, with a big Yuan-green hat on his head and an east bead that was the size of a finger. The lining was snow-white, and there were many jade decorations on his waist. The leather boots on his feet were also shiny. A vulgar smell came to his face. Li Shenming shook his head unconsciously.

In terms of appearance, this person is pretty good, with handsome eyebrows and tall and well-proportioned body, making people feel very comfortable in every move.

"When Wang Faxiang," the tall young man made a beautiful move and said with a smile: "I have met two gentlemen."

Li Guobin turned sideways when Wang Faxiang gave the gift and said that he did not dare to accept the gift. At this time, he also smiled and said, "You are polite. I am just helping Zhang Dongzhu run errands and helping you. Any person in the name of the brand dares to be called a gentleman and dares to receive the gift from the shopkeeper."

Wang Faxiang raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Mr. Li is a big shot in the capital. You have been in this business for a long time. When Old Yan Ge Lao was still there, Zun's family took the lead in Liu Biju and asked Mr. Yan Ge Lao for a letter... This matter is really amazing. Why should you be too humble with such a family background?"

Li Guobin's family is indeed a local snake in the capital. He has always been a slack, but there are many slacks. His family is a big broker who can move around in the family of nobles and high-ranking officials. It is also a channel for communication between merchants and powerful people in the capital. However, his family has always been low-key in this matter, including Liubiju. Few people know about it. Wang Faxiang said it in front of him. In an instant, Li Guobin's face became very ugly.

"Mr. Li, don't worry." Wang Faxiang still had a smile on his face and was still dressed up in a vulgar manner. However, no one in both Li looked down on him at this time. He smiled and said, "We are doing secret things for the boss. Keeping confidential is the first lesson in the beginning. Today, we have received the boss' permission from him before he said this in person. Otherwise, we wouldn't have said this too much."

Li Guobin sighed: "Zhang Dongzhu is really a good method. In fact, he is doing his best to plan things for He Yusheng. I wonder what else is not satisfied with the boss?"

"I have already made efforts, not tried my best." Wang Faxiang said: "Unknown what Mr. Li thinks of the Donglin Party members?"

Li Guobin hesitated for a while and said, "After the 'siege' incident, the Donglin Party has been in a state of great power in recent years, not only in the court, but also in the local area. They originally had a great power in Jiangnan, but are still planning the positions of governors and governors in Jiubian, Shandong and Henan. Within a few years, they will definitely be the world of the Donglin Party."

"I'm afraid they have the strongest power in the court?"

"Well, the Donglin Party is best at party struggles..." Li Guobin said: "Within two years, the Chu Party and Qi Party will be beaten to the point of falling flowers and water. If the Zhejiang Party does not participate in Donglin, it may not be the only one. To be honest, according to the low-level discussions, Donglin will be the largest and strongest party in the past few decades. Not to mention Fang Ge Lao, even the prime minister of Jiangling was now the prime minister, and he had to be timid and could not compete with the Donglin Party head-on."

"Wait a minute." Li Shenming had just been listening, but didn't say anything. Now he finally woke up and stopped Li Guobin and said, "Let me talk about what is the change of the gate. I remember that there was once in the Jingtai period, why did it happen again? Why didn't I hear about such a big thing?"

"It was said to be a snatching the door, but it was actually a snatching the palace." Li Guobin knew that he was a little inappropriate, and said with a smile: "Low shortly after Emperor Daxing died, Li Xuanshi took the eldest brother to his residence. There was no news from the court officials outside. Donglin Party members took the lead in rushing into the palace and snatched the eldest brother from Li Xuanshi, carrying the eldest brother all the way to the Qianqing Palace, and then announced that he would ascend the throne in Qianqing Palace. The year was Tianqi, and the year was still the first year of Taichang, and next year was the first year of Tianqi. Later, Li Xuanshi Lai did not leave in Qianqing Palace, and it was these people who led the cause of trouble, forcing Li Xuanshi to move out of Qianqing Palace before the throne ceremony."

Li Shenming was stunned when he heard this. He really didn't expect that such a big drama would happen in the seemingly calm capital.

Li Guobin said again: "It's only a few days after this incident. Not much of the people in the capital know, and even the officials know the inside story. It will take a few days before the discussions ferment the news will slowly spread throughout the capital and the world. In this case, the Donglin Party has made great contributions to the emperor. Today's Shang is young. The news from the palace is very kind and generous. Such people are very kind. Even if the love will fade over time, the situation where the Donglin Party is dominant will not change within the past few years."

Li Guobin finally said: "Those scholars who only know how to talk are actually brave enough to do such a big thing!"

Although Li Shenming did not understand the details further, he could imagine what was going on at that time. He sneered and shook his head, saying, "Do you think the Donglin Party seized the palace by himself? How did they easily enter the palace? You are both dead as an imperial guard and the eunuchs? Not only is the Donglin Party exerting its efforts outside, but they must also have internal help in the palace!"

Li Guobin was shocked and said, "I didn't expect this level for a moment."

Li Shenming said: "I have always known that the Donglin Party members are actually the same party as the party. They say beautiful words and have few people who do things beautifully. This time Zhang Wenlan asked me to come and find them, but I don't think so. However, these people can hold on to this critical moment, but there are some things in their stomachs."

Li Guobin said: "The main force who moved the palace to attack Li Xuanwei was Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and others. The ones who snatched Li Xuanshi that day were Grand Secretary Liu Yihuojing, Minister of Personnel Zhou Jiamo and others, and the great minister of British Duke Zhang Weixian. These people are either the Donglin Party or have no relationship with the Donglin Party. The people are talking about the public. Now there are many discussions in the government and the opposition. The chief assistant Fang Ge Lao is neither the leader of the Chu Party and the Qi Party and the Zhejiang Party, nor the Donglin Party. The two sides are in conflict. Fang Xiang is probably no longer at ease. The major changes in the capital are in recent days, which is also one of the reasons why he has been running around for several days without results... At this time, everyone wants to be at peace, and no one wants to be in trouble. "

Li Shenming sighed and said, "Fang Xiang is actually a hard work. Over the years, Emperor Shenzong has ignored the government affairs for many years because of his anger or poor health. Whether it is local or central government affairs, he relied on Fang Xiang to reconcile the court so that the court would not be more chaotic. Unfortunately, it seems that he must be in office now."

Wang Faxiang did not interrupt when the two of them were talking. He just listened quietly. At this time, his eyes rolled a few times and said, "Now it seems that if you want to overcome the Ministry of Works, you must find a famous Qingliu who understands these things to make a name for yourself, and then a high-ranking official who is not afraid of trouble will say hello. This matter will be done, right?"

Li Shenming shook his head and said, "It's true, but this matter is easy to say and difficult to do, so there are no candidates that can be found so easily."

Wang Faxiang said: "Can you find Mao Yuanyi and a high-ranking official from the Donglin Party? This matter will be left to the future."

"Mao Yuanyi?" Li Shenming thought carefully, shook his head and said, "I have never heard of this person."

"This man has never been an official," Wang Faxiang said: "This is a famous scholar who is good at military affairs and knows how to cast weapons and bird guns. He often makes comments. Many high-ranking officials in the capital know him. What's important is that this man has a good relationship with Sun Chengzong of the Donglin Party, and seems to be a disciple of Sun Chengzong. At this time, those who are good at creating momentum will take the opportunity to go forward. If Jin iron can be exchanged for Fujian iron, it will be very beneficial to this person's momentum. If he lures it for profit, I believe he will not refuse."

"Excellent, amazing." Li Shenming exclaimed: "Wang Ergui, your speculation about people's hearts has truly reached the pinnacle. What did you do before?"

"Before the next…" Wang Faxiang admitted without hesitation: "Before the next is a Lahu rogue who was shooting flowers."

"ah?"

For a moment, Li Guobin and Li Shenming were speechless—

I still keep my word, and I will update the chapter before twelve o'clock.
