Zhang Liqi was taken aback, the two hundred measurement teams are not only a matter of people, but also involve management, especially the households in the back, and the division of land requires manpower and time.
Li Banghua didn't seem to see Zhang Liqi's expression, and said, "You can keep an eye on this year's imperial examination, draw up a list, it doesn't matter if you are in the middle or not, the key is ability."
I'll go and ask Master Shangshu to meet with Elder Zhao Ge later, and ask him to book some people for us. ” Now all departments of the Ming Dynasty are expanding rapidly, especially the new yamen is seriously short of people, and Li Banghua's affairs are even more in need of manpower, and now he is ready to grab people in advance.
Zhang Liqi raised his hand and said, "My lord, the lower officials feel that they can propose to the cabinet to expand the number of admissions for the imperial examination, and in the next few years, the shortage of officials may be as high as forty or fifty thousand." ” Li Banghua also thought about it, and said, "Well, I'll go to the Governor's House later, and see if I can find anyone in the field." ” Zhang Liqi nodded, this is a solution.
The two chatted for a while, Zhang Liqi got ready, then left the cabinet building, walked through Donghua Gate, and went to Beijing Normal University to greet the college students who had just been seconded.
Before he went out, Zhang Liqi 'met' a classmate named Wei Xiaozhong, who was involved in Feng Quan's power case and was never hired, and is now a famous businessman.
When Wei Xiaozhong saw Zhang Liqi, he pulled him very happily and said, "Brother Zhang, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's go and have a drink." ” Wei Xiaozhong is very good at drilling, and he has had a very good relationship with Zhang Liqi over the years, never asked for or sent anything, and is completely a gentleman's friend, which also makes Zhang Liqi feel a little good, so the relationship has always been good.
Zhang Liqi pressed his hand and said with a wry smile, "Where am I as leisurely as your Boss Wei, there is something going on here, wait for two days, I will invite you to drink......
Wei Xiaozhong didn't care about this, he pulled him down the aisle, "Okay, it's noon, the emperor doesn't send hungry soldiers, let's go." ” Zhang Liqi looked at Wei Xiaozhong, and didn't know what he was thinking, so he grabbed him and said, "Okay, if you have anything, you can say anything, you have waited for me for so long, I guess I can't help it." ” Wei Xiaozhong smiled bitterly, turned his head, and said, "I know that I can't hide it from you, and I don't talk nonsense, it seems that I am hypocritical."
I have 2,000 acres of land in Suzhou, three fertilizer factories, and 200 ploughing cattle in captivity......
I have to go out for hundreds of taels every day if I don't do anything, all of which I got from bankruptcy, and I also borrowed a lot of silver from the bank, I really can't hold on, I want to ask, when will the imperial court start purchasing......"
Zhang Liqi's face changed suddenly, his eyes were sharp, and he said coldly, "I can't help you with this matter, and don't come to me again." ” After Zhang Liqi finished speaking, he shook off his hand and strode away.
This Wei Xiaozhong came to him, just to make a fortune in the imperial court, this is to go through his back door.
When Wei Xiaozhong saw it, he hurriedly chased a few steps, and said with a wry smile, "Brother Zhang, I really can't help it, I don't want you to do anything, just give me a breath and let me lose a little less." ” Zhang Liqi stopped, his face was indifferent, and said, "You want to lose a little less, now that you are thrown out, someone will pick you up, what are you doing with me?"
Also, now that the court is brewing anti-corruption, you must have heard the rumors, if you don't want to be involved, you will have less to do with officialdom in the future, you can go. ” After Zhang Liqi finished speaking, he turned around and left, without hesitation.
Businessmen are afraid of being affected by the people of officialdom, and the people of officialdom are not afraid of being dragged into the water by those who do business.
Since Zhang Liqi knew that Wei Xiaozhong was already in Li Banghua's pit, where would he be willing to be pulled into it together.
Wei Xiaozhong looked at Zhang Liqi's back, without the previous wry smile, his expression was calm as usual, and he said to himself, "Judging from his attitude, the imperial court will soon have a big move, so the cabinet's procurement will begin?"
” Wei Xiaozhong's face changed for a while, and he said thoughtfully, "It seems that I still have to go the way of the household department, but I can't do it alone......"
I don't know how many people like Wei Xiaozhong are in the camp, and I don't know how many people in the court have been corrupted.
On the eve of Fu Changzong's departure, Fu Mansion.
Fu Changzong's father and son had dinner and chatted with the children at home around the fire.
Fu Tao's eldest son is already in his teens, a half-sized young man, with a pair of big eyes, listening to his father and grandfather chatting.
Fu Tao said, "Father, the emperor allocated five million from the internal treasury, plus the five million prepared in the bank, and the early stage is 10 million, mainly for the reclamation of land in Suyanghang, the renovation of water conservancy, the cultivation of cattle, fertilizers, etc., this is only the early stage, and the investment may be greater later......"
Fu Changzong hugged the stove and said, "Well, now that the natural disasters are becoming more and more severe, the emperor is paying more and more attention to agriculture, and Su Yanghang is the most important tax and grain aid of my Ming Dynasty, so the investment is not much." ” Fu Tao nodded and said, "Li Youtang wrote to me from there, saying that the land recovery in Nanzhili is quite smooth, but Suyanghang and other places are still relatively difficult, the land is highly concentrated, and these people are constantly holding together, one of them wants to make huge profits, and the other part of them really don't want to sell ......."
Fu Changzong knew more about Fu Tao than Fu Tao, and said, "The cabinet is brewing more land resumption, such as replacing it in Ānnán, Liaodong, Korea, Waguo, Jiugang, Luzon, etc., or allowing them to keep a certain amount, or taking the imperial court to rent, and the land rights to the gentry, etc."
However, suppression, restricting land annexation in a short period of time, and realizing that 'the cultivator has his land' will not change, and resisting the major policies of the imperial court will not lead to good results. ” Fu Tao knew how serious the land annexation in Jiangnan was, and more than eighty percent of the people were tenants!
Fu Tao didn't judge much, and said, "Well, taking this opportunity, the Royal Bank has prepared more than 100 million banknotes, 80 million silver dollars, most of which are used for land purchase and procurement, and some of them are lent to Spain." ” Fu Changzong took a sip of tea, touched the head of his grandson on the side, and said, "If you act according to the established plan, there will be no big mistakes, Sun Baigu has been a little low-key recently, we have to be more low-key." ” Fu Tao obviously smelled the taste from his father's words, nodded silently, and said after a while, "Recently, there have been more and more private loans, mainly some businessmen, most of whom are trying to risk going to sea, and the bad debts are increasing......
Fu Changzong listened, thought for a while, and said, "For these things, you should communicate more with the Royal Trade Group, and when necessary, meet that Su Mo'er." ” Fu Tao understood what Fu Changzong meant, and saw that Su Mo'er was fake, and listened to the meaning of Bumu Butai and Zhu Xu behind him.
Although Bumu Butai seems to have let go of the Shenlong Mansion, her team is still there, and her influence on the Shenlong Mansion is still irreplaceable.
The father and son were chatting, and a family member came to the door and said, "Master, the deputy head of the Governor's Yuan, Lord Li Rongbing asks to see you." ” Fu Changzong, Fu Tao, father and son were both stunned, what is this person doing.
King Jing is also the head of the Governor's Yuan, but after all, he is a cabinet minister, and he can't take care of so much, and most of the affairs of the Governor's Yuan are presided over by this Li Rongbing's vice president.
This person is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites in the Wanli period, who is low-key, self-contained, meticulous in his work, strict with himself, and has a low reputation, but he has no bad reviews.
Although he has been in the dynasty for many years, Fu Changzong and this Master Li really don't have much intersection, and they can only be regarded as nodding friends.
In the middle of the night when Fu Changzong was about to leave Beijing, why did he come?
Fu Changzong, Fu Tao's father and son glanced at each other, a little puzzled.
