Chapter 122(1/2)
The factory supervisor takes action
At some point, it started to rain outside the window again, drizzling, hitting the banana leaves under the window, making a sound of hiding. Two "clang" sounds, the piano sounds on the rainy night, and a faint and faint singing sound came gently in the rainy night:
I'd like to see the butterfly passing by the neighbors,
I secretly asked the branches.
It would rather bear the infinite intention of the east wind,
Who are you sick and frowning for?
The east wind calls the media carefully,
The wedding dress in the deep courtyard has not been cut.
But others can't explain it.
My heart is waiting for Shi Lang to open?"
The little girl was still sitting shyly by the bed waiting in a wedding dress, but as the sky was getting late, the master seemed to come over unintentionally, Xue Limei felt panicked. She had no intention of competing with Su San, who was sympathetic to love, but although she was pretty and beautiful, she was as beautiful as the other side, but Yu Tangchun was even more beautiful in the world.
The status is not as good as the young lady and her appearance is not as good as Su San. The little girl is in love with her. She has always been worried that Yang Ling only accepted her by the emperor's order. In fact, she doesn't like her in her heart. She sat down until the red candle burned out. Xue Limei was self-pitying and hurt herself. She couldn't help but hugging the piano and singing softly. Listening to the bitter rain outside the window, she felt very sad.
Yu Tangchun woke up from her sweet dream. When she heard Xueer's singing, she was ashamed and hurriedly struggled to get up to serve the master to change clothes. Yang Ling had already gotten up and put on her clothes. Seeing that she was born in the rain and dew, she looked delicate and lazy and powerless. She hurriedly pressed her smooth shoulders, pulled over the thin quilt to cover her, and said softly: "It's raining, don't catch a cold, let's take a break soon."
Yu Tangchun was naked and couldn't let go if she got up like this, so she lay down as she said. Yang Ling was so considerate that she felt warm. She smiled sweetly and nodded shyly.
"I'd like to see the butterflies passing by the neighbors..." The singing came again in the middle of the night. The butterfly picked flowers and opened the door and walked out...
She was crazy twice a night, and she should be unable to get up late. However, Yang Ling woke up just as dawn, or because she had become accustomed to getting up early and going to court during this period. Xue Limei, who was used to going to bed late and getting up early, still slept soundly. Her sleeping posture was really bad. She was entangled all night, and the whole quilt was wrapped around her, revealing only a touch of greasyness on her chest, and two slight tears were hanging on her cheeks.
Xue Limei knew her beauty and her temper was not as good as Yu Tangchun. In order to please the master, she was shy and timid in the flower garden and tried her best to use the methods she learned from the flower garden. She just wanted the master to be happy and have a place in her heart.
It's easy to say that the beauty is beautiful. The little girl's tireless spirit of seeking up and down is enough to move the lustful spirit in the sky. If it weren't for her tender performance when she had sex with her, just looking at her endless flower work, Yang Ling would have thought that she was an expert in the romantic scene.
Xue Limei's body was light and soft. Her slender waist was slim and her skin was so shattered that it was so shaved that it was so shaved that it was so bright that it was bright and it was clean. When she was moved, her eyebrows were frowning and she often cried with joy. Her pure face showed a strange demon, which made Yang Ling feel a sense of bullying and abuse. She was so romantic that she was really happy.
What is time to deflower is deflowered, and what is time to open is also about to open.
The inner factory was established, and everyone in the outer court was attracted by everyone. However, the inner factory yamen could not afford to buy land outside Xizhimen, and actually organized the officers and soldiers of the Zuopao Battalion who had just served as a servant in Tailing. Now, they turned into soldiers who had become soldiers and built the yamen in the valley behind Gaolaozhuang. It was really laughable.
The East Factory was worried that Yang Ling would accept the tax surveillance immediately. Fan Ting and the four leaders of the Sili surveillance gathered together and thought of various difficult methods, but they were reluctant to see Yang Ling. They were surprised to send someone to inquire. However, they heard that Yang Ling had recruited Yu Yong, a famous and incompetent gatekeeper among the Jinyiwei, as the second-class leader. He led a group of soldiers to contact the carriages and horse shops who were running long distances to cooperate and formed an intelligence agency in the inner factory.
After hearing this news, Fan Ting was almost out of breath, and his cautious attention to Yang Ling was immediately wiped out. If they were not on a hostile stance, he would have sympathized with Yang Ling's actions that really lost all the face of the factory guards. Since Yang Ling did not dare to come to the door to accept the tax supervisor for the time being, he might as well be more generous. Fan Ting ordered the Dongchang man to not ask for trouble for the internal factory for the time being, and see if Yang Ling knew about it before talking.
When civil officials heard that the emperor had set up an internal factory in the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Jinyiwei, they asked the three Grand Secretary to take advantage of the fact that the internal factory had not yet established a stable foothold, they mobilized all court officials to criticize and prompted the emperor to withdraw the internal factory.
Xie Qian was also moved by this. He secretly made an appointment with Liu Jian and Li Dongyang to discuss the matter. When Liu Jian heard about Yang Ling's weak behavior, he did not think that the internal factory could become a major concern. However, if he could mobilize the power of the court officials to eradicate it, it would inevitably cause the East and West Factory and the Jinyiwei to have some concerns and dare not interfere in the government affairs randomly, so he also happily agreed.
But Li Dongyang pondered for a while and did not speak for a long time. Xie Qian couldn't help but sigh: "Binzhi, I know you have a good impression of Yang Ling, and even have great expectations.
We are all old, how many years can we do for the court? If there are a few juniors with both moral integrity and talent who can assist the emperor well, our old ministers will be worthy of the late emperor and the people of the world. However... Yang Ling and a group of jesters beside the emperor call friends and Taoists, and now they have been recruiting internal factory missions, which clearly shows the ambition of wolf ambition. Do you still believe that he will be a loyal person?"
Liu Jian was displeased and said, "Binzhi, I know you have a deep expectation for him. Although his talent is not as good as Yang Tinghe and Yang Yiqing, he is the most favored by the emperor. If he is loyal to the country, we might as well support him well. Maybe this dynasty can produce another "Three Yangs Gancai" like the Xuande Dynasty's "Three Yangs Bingzheng". But now after listening to his words and obeying his actions, although this person may not be a great traitor, he is definitely not like a loyal and virtuous minister. Don't be emotional anymore."
Li Dongyang smiled and said, "Do you two think I can't bear to cut off his future? Haha, I'm thinking, which one is more beneficial if there is an internal factory or no internal factory in the court."
Xie Qian disagreed and said, "Binzhi, are you confused? Do you think the factory and the military has done anything that will benefit the court and the people? It is not enough to compete for power and profit for two factories and one military. Do you need to add another evil tiger?"
Li Dongyang chuckled and said, "Mr. Xie has forgotten the tiger in the inner factory. Is the tax supervisor?"
Liu Jian, Xie Qian's eyes lit up after hearing this, and Xie Qian blurted out: "Two tigers fight..."
Liu Jian hesitated and said, "I think Yang Ling avoids things everywhere. If he does not compete with the East Factory, it is the emperor's oral order to transfer the tax supervisory department to the inner factory. If there is an imperial order, he dare not speak to Wang Yue. Does Binzhi have too much hope for him?"
Li Dongyang laughed and said, "My lord, if you see Yang Ling's usual behavior, even though he is favored by the emperor, you still know how to restrain yourself. But you forgot his experience and scheming at the imperial court that made the scheming all over the court speechless? This person's scheming and knowledgeable knowledge are very human. The reason why I say that he cannot see through him is because he has received the emperor's favor and does not have to be in the Shenji Camp.
Of course, if he is ambitious and wants to interfere in political affairs or to release a rank of officials from the border, we will not stand by. It is strange that he seems to be content with the situation and has no ambitions.
Since he was so stubborn and did not show his sharpness. Now he is very enthusiastic about opening an internal factory. I don’t believe that he will let the tax supervisor go, which is so hot," he smiled slightly and said with a firm heart: "Let’s see. If my eyes are not blurred, Yang Ling will join forces with the inner factory to join forces with the inner factory. In most cases, he deliberately showed his enemy as weak and waited for his power to stabilize. He would inevitably compete with the East Factory for the fat piece of tax supervisor."
Xie Qian praised, "It's amazing! The taxes in the world are divided into the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue are divided into the Ministry of Revenue. It is not reassured that the financial power is controlled by the inner court. Wang Yue is old and once he is away, the future situation is unexpected. If the inner factory and the western factory compete for power and profit, and both sides suffer losses, we can take advantage of the situation and bring the tax power to the hands of the Ministry of Revenue."
Liu Jian frowned and said, "Binzhi's idea is good, but the Dongchang tree is deep and has a deep root. Its power is everywhere. Yangling is qualified to challenge the Silijian and Dongchang with only the Holy Family and the unseasonable internal factory. "
Li Dongyang laughed and said, "No, so we can't make any suggestions to let the emperor withdraw the inner factory, but we also have to help them openly and secretly. The stronger the inner factory, the greater the ambition, but no matter how strong it is, he will never cause a fatal blow to the Dong Factory, unless we give him an illusion: the outer court stands on his side!"
Liu Jian clapped his high-high and said, "Okay! Old Xie, say hello to the Inspectorate and ask the censors of the Imperial Envoy to not seek trouble with the inner factory. At present, we must open the door of convenience so that the inner factory can have the strength to grab peaches from the East Factory. Hahaha, wherever the profit comes, two peaches can kill three soldiers!"
For nearly twenty years, the outer court has always suppressed the inner officials, so the three great scholars seem to have forgotten that there is another proverb in the world: Raising a tiger will lead to disaster!
In just two months, the power of the inner factory has far exceeded Yang Ling's own expectations. He originally estimated that once the inner factory was opened, the Silijian, the East Factory, the Jinyiwei and the civil servants of the outer court would never turn a blind eye to it, and the Feng Sword and Frost Sword will inevitably be endless.
So he invited Wu Jie and Huang Qiyin back to Beijing with his eight hundred-mile fast horses and set up his own official positions in the inner factory. Wu Jie was appointed as the head of the big box, Huang Qiyin and Yu Yong were appointed as the head of the second box, and Delu and other three officials were appointed as the head of the third box, Liu Biao and Yang Yiqing were appointed as the head of the thousand households. The rest were appointed as the head of the hundred households, offices, services, and services, and the wholesale reorganization. After all, they followed the emperor every day, preparing to rely on this big tree to deal with various possible attacks.
Unexpectedly, the East Factory had no news, and the Chinese officials and the imperial envoys suddenly disappeared, which made Yang Lingbai take some thoughts. Although Wu Jie was not valued in the Jinyiwei for many years, he has been responsible for the most difficult intelligence collection work, and he is skilled in this area.
Not only did Yang Ling transfer him back to Beijing, he also promoted him to the top, second only to Yang Ling, the imperial envoy of the Governor's Inner Factory. Yang Ling also had no hindrance to him, a person from the Jinyiwei, and boldly gave him everything.
Wu Jie, who was so excluded and suspicious for many years, was grateful. In addition, he saved Mrs. Yang's life and believed that he had a very close relationship with the Yang family, so he worked hard and spared no effort for the internal factory. The well-trained officers and soldiers of the Shenji Camp quickly integrated a new role under the training of him, Liu and Yang.
Huang Qiyin received the imperial edict and went to Beijing. He heard that Yang Ling wanted him to work in the inner factory. Although this old master was suppressed by the imperial court for many years, the proud character of the passionate envoy in the past was still there and refused. Yang Ling was already prepared in his heart. He invited the old master into the secret room and talked with him in detail about the general purpose of benefiting the people.
After all, Huang Qiyin was not the young man who passed the imperial examination at the time, and then stayed at the Inspectorate. He did not know that the people were suffering, and he no longer had the aura of scholars who cherished his personal feathers. In his heart, if he could do something for the people down-to-earth, even if he stayed in the inner factory, it would be nothing to lose his personal reputation. What's more, who in the capital now remembered that he, a young man, had fallen into a poor and remote place for nearly thirty years when he was proud?
After two months of local kung fu, the inner factory not only successfully established its foothold in the capital, but also its tentacles are centered on the capital and are constantly extending in all directions every day. This strange speed finally attracted the attention and panic of the Dongchang and Silijian.
Yang Ling didn't expect that this plague-like spreading speed was that he wanted to open a water and land transportation route from the capital to Jiangnan. When he had excellent profits at the end of the year, he would set an example for other merchants, and then take advantage of the opportunity to fully expand the sphere of influence of the internal factory.
Even so, he did not dare to be optimistic. Merchants were born in a weak position when dealing with the officials. They could not cooperate with the internal factory without any suspicion. The internal factory could not use its power to force them to cooperate with the public and private business. It is not easy to establish credibility and gain trust from these businessmen who are cautious and suspicious by nature?
However, Yu Yong, a descendant of the Holy Roman Empire nobleman from the Rhine River, was really a business land. He brought people to visit several of the largest ships and carriages. None of the owners would refuse the conditions:
Our internal factory helps you transport wealth and goods, merchants and customers. Now you have calculated the average annual profit in the past five years. If our profit is lower than this number, we will not take the penny, but if the profit is higher than this number, it will be 50% higher than this number. This year? We will not take the penny in the second half of this year, and we will help you in vain.
The owners of the ship who suffered from illegal exploitation but had nowhere to tell the ship, how could they not know the huge profits contained in this? The conditions in the internal factory are so generous that people can laugh out loud in their dreams. How could they not agree?
Yu Yong had only four families, so he didn't have to go any further. On the country road of Gaolaozhuang, a paradise, there were endless streams of owners from all over the country. In just half a month, all the carriages and ships in the capital and even nearby cities signed contracts with the inner factory. The inner factory land forces rolled along the canal, and the official roads rolled all over the world like snow rolling.
After hearing the news, Yang Ling ran to question Yu Yong with fear: The military pay of the imperial court was only paid until the end of July, and what would thousands of people in the factory eat and drink in the remaining five months?
Yu Yong nodded and bowed, and said with a philistine face: "Report to the Lord, our local people can't just go around empty-handedly, right? We asked people to take the specialties of the capital and go all the way to Huzhou. There was no need for other merchants to take advantage of it. When we arrived at the place, we could make a net profit of 500 taels.
Then I ordered the silk on the spot through Jinling and transported it back to Beijing. I could make a net profit of 800 taels. It took a month to go back and forth, and 1,000 taels of silver became 2,300 taels. This is the Minister who told you not to evade taxes. Otherwise, you just need to do some tricks. When passing the tax card, two boxes and one box, three stops and two stops, and you can earn 300 taels more. A month later, the court stopped our military pay. We had already used the money that was paid for one month late, and the money that was three months old has come. You don’t have to worry.
Yang Ling didn't say a word after hearing this, turned around and left. When he saw Huang Datuk in charge of internal affairs, he only said: "Old Huang only needs to manage the accounts well, and the amount of money and grain will be forever trouble."
In the room of Wang Yue, the four leaders and eunuchs and Fan Ting, sat down at the head, looked different, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely dull. Eunuch Wang stretched out his fingers and dipped them in some clear water and rubbed the corners of his dry eyes, and said tremblingly: "You guys, don't worry so much, are you? As you are talking, Yang Ling has a lot of connections with us. Although his power is developing very fast now, he has never been a problem with our Sili Ji and Dongchang. Are you a little bit of a big deal?"
Since Dai Yi almost died and died in the "Imperial Mausoleum Feng Shui Case", he hated Wang Yue to the core and had long had a grudge against his former friend Fan Ting. He and Yang Ling were both the governors of Tailing, and they had some friendship with each other. More importantly, there is a major secret between them that implicates their life and death. With this secret, he can board the Yangling boat, share the blessings with him, and have woe to him... I respect the thanks to Bumin.
So Yang Ling began to form his own power, and it developed extremely rapidly. It only benefits and no harm for him. So when he heard Wang Yue disagreed. Dai Yi immediately quipped: "Yes, Lao Fan, are you too alarmist? Look at the people he used, besides a few illiterate big-headed soldiers, who are other capable people?
There was only one unsatisfied old county magistrate, one Wu Qianhu, who had been collecting fur goods outside the border for many years. And Yu Yong... Haha, I heard that his daughter had blonde hair and blue eyes, and was extremely charming. Yu Yong wanted to grant his second daughter to Yang Ling as a concubine, so he became a second-level leader in the inner factory. The person Yang Ling used was Wu Jie from the Jinyiwei, and Yu Yong and Eunuch Wang were related. Do you think Yang Ling would be bad for us?"
Zhang Shou smiled sinisterly and said, "Eunuch Dai, it was because of this that we missed the best opportunity to suppress him. Now that he has become a wing, I think he is very ambitious. But unlike a person who is in charge, the tax supervisor controls 70% of the taxes in the court. After mastering it, not only immediately below one person, above ten thousand people, but even in the foreign court, some forces will have to surrender to his subordinates.
In the road of power, as long as you stand on the top of the wave, even if you don’t want to, you must climb to a higher place, otherwise you will have to sink. Even if everything is now, will Yang Ling remain unconscious about the tax supervisor? Hehe, the young man is successful and in his prime. Do you think he will retreat bravely? When he accumulates his strength, we old guys who are in trouble will be treated as thorns in his side and pulled them down one by one!”
Fan Ting said to Wang Yue: "Dadfather-in-law, Zhang Shou is right. Liu Jin and Gu Dayong have served since the emperor was crown prince and speak very well. When the emperor first ascended the throne, they were still in charge, but now they have gradually become more and more concerned. Ma Yongcheng was appointed as the chief purchasing manager of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Wei Bin took charge of the Jingshi Room, and Zhang Yong entered the Imperial Horse Supervision.
Liu Jin and Gu Dayong looked at him and instigated the emperor to give them a good job all day long. People are not in a good mood now. They want power when they ask for money. With power, they want greater power. There are many people watching the chairs of the Silijian. They have a lot of friendship with Yang Ling. Our family has been worried that Yang Ling has been slow to move. Should they cooperate with them inside and outside and have some plans?"
Wang Yue was a little moved when he heard this. He hesitated for a moment. He glanced over the faces of several confidants and asked, "What? Is it really a matter of someone who dares to turn over our territory? Well... Then what should you do? We are all doing it for the emperor. You guys and Miao Kui are chatting all the time. I was upset when I saw it. Could it be that they would be choking with Yang Ling again?"
Li Rong, who had not said anything, said slowly: "Eunuch Wang, now if we don't do it, we will start to rectify us. You are kind-hearted and we don't want to fight with the inner factory to the death. Let the outer court see our jokes. I came up with an idea to slapped Yang Ling's aura and tell him not to be so arrogant anymore. I don't know what my father-in-law wants?"
Wang Yuexi said: "That's good, that's good, let's talk about it quickly." Li Rong took out a post from his sleeve and smiled and said: "Dadfather-in-law, my method is very simple, I'm playing hard to get!"
Fan Ting said anxiously: "I said you don't keep it a secret. Tell me quickly, how can you play hard to get?"
Li Rong said slowly: "Leave the tax supervisor to Yang Ling."
After saying this, Fan Ting and several other leaders and eunuchs were shocked. Even Wang Yue stared at him in shock. Li Rong said in a weird way: "After the news that the tax bureau was transferred to the internal factory, most of the education guarding the tax bureaus in various places were reduced. Even the tax bank paid normally was blocked. Do you hesitate to pay?"
He Dachun said angrily: "This group of snobs. If we didn't recommend it, would they get such a fat man? Now that we are changing our minds, everyone is waiting and watching, killing talents in pieces!"
Li Rong smiled and said, "They can be bothered by us, let alone an unknown Yangling? Our family sent Bu Deyi, the governor of Jiaxing, to send me a secret post. The tax monarch of the three governors in Suzhou and Hangzhou, Nanzhili, was twice the tax monarch of the official tax, and they all cut it into several use, and they seemed to have other illegal acts. Our family originally wanted to knock on them, but now they might as well use it."
Seeing that everyone was a little confused, he hurriedly explained: "Let's hand over the tax bureau immediately. As long as he takes over, he will immediately present the post to the emperor through the foreign minister. He is the governor of the tax bureau. Is this case not handled? If you do it, no illegal acts in the tax bureau. Everyone is disappointed. We just need to make a little point and the tax bureau will not be collected. This year, the imperial court's silver costs are like flowing water, and it cannot be collected. The imperial court will have no silver, and what's the matter if there is no silver?
He can't control the tax supervisory department, what should he do then? Hahaha... If he doesn't care, let those people indulge in the law. The father-in-law of the inner court violates the law, the ritual supervisor has the right to report and expose, and the officials in the outer court can't stand it. Let's hand in some evidence, how can he deal with it? What's more... I heard that the three major tax supervisors in Suzhou and Hangzhou have close contact with the King of Shu, as long as he gets involved with Yang Ling..."
Zhu Rangxu, the king of Shu, was the richest among the vassal kings. Shu was rich, and seven or eight out of ten lands were collected in the Shu palace. This vassal king was rich and powerful, so could Yang Ling afford it?
Fan Ting slapped the table excitedly and said, "Okay! This plan is very wonderful. If we don't have any blood, we can let Yang Ling know our power. Eunuch Wang, don't hesitate anymore. Let's start first!"
The river water surging. In the vast sky, a line of geese passed by. On the plains on both sides of the shore, the crops had begun to mature. The hard-working farmers were waving sickles in the ground with their tanned backs, and sweat beads fell one by one on the fertile land.
As the breeze blew, the river was covered with white-scale waves, bursts of bold singing came, and the fisherman laughed and drowned the net into the water.
The Grand Canal reaches the capital in the north and reaches Hangzhou in the south. However, because the rivers along the way are uncertain, the Grand Canal does not run straight to the north and south, but connects the sailing water system of rivers in various places. It goes all the way down, sometimes winding and sometimes east.
A single-mad hull painted red is moving upstream, and the ship is very fast. This is a post boat that can carry around 60 people, and has a cargo hold to carry important items. This post boat uses sails and oars against the wind. There are eight to twelve long oars on the ship, commonly known as centipede speedboats among the people.
Whenever there are fishing boats on the water, the Shangzhou will quickly avoid the red Chuanyi Clipper when he sees the red Chuanyi Clipper. As the government rules, sailing on the river, any ship must avoid the Chuanyi Clipper from the waterway.
The clutch sailed past a triangular beach, and suddenly someone shouted loudly: "Sir Yicheng, there are three giant ships in front of you. Please inform the bilge to slow down and give way."
In the cabin, he was drinking and drinking, and was having fun drinking, and Lord Anda Chong'an, the Heyun Post Office in Dezhou, Shandong, walked up to the bow of the boat with a swaying smile and scolded: "I saw your mother's ghost, what kind of boat is we? I'll give way to others and let your mother's chain of farts."
The postman at the bow of the boat blushed and said, "Sir, but for this boat, we... we have to give way to others!"
"Uh?" Lord An hurriedly lay on the boat and looked forward with drunken eyes. He saw that on the wide river surface in front, three four-masted giant ships, one in front, two in the back, each with twelve sails, and the wind was blowing. The bottom of the boat caused waves to churn. A white line behind the boat looked amazing from a distance.
To be continued...
