Chapter 94                                                             �

It took more than three months to struggle between Jiajing and Xu Jie.

Jiajing issued several edicts to keep him, and gave Xu Jie many rewards. He gave Xu Jie a lot of additional officials and several salary benefits. He gave his wife and son. He named Xu Jie's son as the Minister of Shangbao Temple.

This is the best official in the Ming Dynasty.

As for Yan Shifan's final successor to the Minister of Works, he actually did not conform to the rules of the court.

It can be said that all the favors that Jiajing can give is given to Xu Jie.

However, Xu Jie was still unmoved, regardless of Jiajing's fault for Xu Jie's bones, and he would not be released. Xu Jie still submitted a memorial to resign according to the procedure.

It is said that Huang Jin had secretly visited Xu Jie. As for what he said, Xu Jie was still unmoved. Even before Xu Jie officially retired, Jiajing summoned Xu Jie. Zhou Mengchen did not find out what they said.

But I heard from people around that Jiajing was very loud that day and it was all outside the Yichun Palace.

You should know that Jiajing has never been a yelling person. Only when he can't help it can he behave like this.

In short, in three months, Jiajing had no choice but to deal with Xu Jie.

You can't just kill someone just because they want to resign, right? There is no such thing in the world.

However, with Jiajing's use of both soft and hard skills, Xu Jie's ability to control and unwavering is not something that ordinary people can do.

When Jiajing finally approved Xu Jie's resignation, Xu Jie left Beijing almost immediately. However, this time Xu Jie also greeted him and was not allowed to see him off.

So at the train station, not many people came to see Xu Jie off.

There were only some disciples of Xu Jie, as well as Zhou Mengchen and several others.

This made Xu Jie a little disappointed.

When he was the prime minister, even though he had told everyone not to be polite, the subordinates would be extremely polite. He decided to regard Xu Jie's advice as a warning. Now, he is not the prime minister. He said, it works so well.

If you don't let it come, you really won't come.

Although this is in line with Xu Jie's wishes, since he has left the political arena, he should try to keep a low profile. In the end, he would not be jealous of those in power. After all, he also came from those in power. Naturally, he knew what the people in power thought.

However, there is really the situation today. Xu Jie's heart seemed to be empty, empty.

Xu Jie knew in his heart that his mentality needed to be adjusted. But he also knew that this mentality would not be able to be adjusted in one or two years.

Although Xu Jie is not the prime minister, he still has the treatment he should have at this moment.

He doesn't have to squeeze in the train like ordinary people, but adds a car behind the train.

This is already the way for the travel of the great officials of the Ming Dynasty. Take the train to Tongzhou, board the boat in Tongzhou, and head south through the Grand Canal. Although Zhou Mengchen has already made a water conservancy policy to abandon the Grand Canal, the entire water control project can be completed in ten or even twenty years.

Therefore, it has no impact on the canal yet.

In the future, a large number of dignitaries may go overseas from Tianjin. However, this will take time. After all, changing customs and customs cannot be achieved overnight.

Xu Jie looked at the direction of Beijing City on the platform and said, "Didn't Li Chunfang come?"

Zhang Juzheng said: "Teacher, Brother Yang said that the cabinet cannot be separated from others."

Xu Jie sighed and said, "Yes, the cabinet cannot be separated from humans."

Once Xu Jie retreated, the cabinet was about to add people. It was not enough to have only two people. Zhou Mengchen was here, so Li Chunfang naturally could not leave.

But in fact, these are all excuses.

In this era, the pace of government affairs processing is not that fast.         The railway station from the palace to the east of the Beijing-Zhoucheng is not far away. It only takes a few hours to go back and forth. It is impossible to die for a few hours to be idle in the cabinet.

In fact, Li Chunfang was complaining about Xu Jie.

Within three months of Xu Jie fighting with Jiajing, Li Chunfang was devoted to the cabinet and wanted to control all the affairs of the cabinet. But in fact, it was difficult for Li Chunfang to do this.

On the one hand, Li Chunfang has too little experience and too little experience, so many things cannot be seen at a glance. His speed in handling affairs is not as good as Xu Jie. Xu Jie can monopolize cabinet affairs, but Li Chunfang cannot.

On the other hand, Xu Jie's party members are everywhere. He has fought Yan Song for so many years in the cabinet, but he is not a fight for nothing. It can be said that Xu Jie has people in most places in the Ming Dynasty. Something happened in one place. As long as Xu Jie is willing, he can always understand what happened in the local area through various channels. He will never be deceived by the people below.

But Li Chunfang couldn't do it.

Will those who obey Xu Jie obey Li Chunfang? Not necessarily.

Li Chunfang even thought that Xu Jie refused to pass on his entire network of relationships to Li Chunfang. In fact, connections, talents and connections. Some can be passed on, while others are impossible.

Although Xu Jie felt a little uncomfortable, he also knew that this was human nature.

Xu Jie said, "Uncle, I have no advice. Do things with your heart."

Zhang Juzheng said, "Disciple respectfully sends the teacher. After the teacher returns to Songjiang, you can write to me if you have anything to do. If you can do it, you must do it for the teacher."

Xu Jie said, "Good boy. There is no need to do this. I am an old man without an official position. I will not let go of anyone staring at the old man." Then Xu Jie looked at Zhou Mengchen. His eyes were a little complicated.

Zhou Mengchen was also a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Xu, it's not that I don't do my best, but that's really Hai Rui. I don't care about it. It's just a hard and smelly stone. After I see it, I will definitely scold him."

Xu Jie said, "No need, I didn't expect that there are such people in the officialdom. Having Hai Rui as his parents is a great blessing for the people of Songjiang. It also happened to let Xu Pan go to Taiwan."

Zhou Mengchen said at the beginning that only Xu Pan could pass Hai Rui's level. He would take care of anything else. But as Zhou Mengchen expected, Xu Pan was peeled off from Hai Rui. Fortunately, Hai Rui still respected Xu Jie. Xu Pan also had a lawsuit every time, and in the end, most of the lawsuits ended up losing money. The Xu family suddenly made a lot of blood.

Even so, Xu Pan was exiled thousands of miles away.

Fortunately, Zhou Mengchen was able to move some tricks and let Xu Pan go to Taiwan without exile elsewhere.

If Xu Jie had not had a deep understanding of the sugar industry's business and knew what kind of treasure pot Zhou Mengchen had brought to the Xu family, he would have thought Zhou Mengchen would go back on his word.

Zhou Mengchen gave not only a report on the development of the sugar industry. It has made a profit from the sugar industry, but also some new processes, adding steam engines to the traditional sugar boiling process, greatly reducing costs. In addition, Taiwan itself is suitable for sugarcane production.

As long as the Xu family is done well, it will be Sufeng Home in the future.

Coupled with the gap in Taiwan's political power, it is very likely that the Xu family will be the top leader in Taiwan in the future, just like the local tycoon of Wufeng Lin family. No, it is much stronger than the Wufeng Lin family. After all, the Xu family is a prime minister family. This influence alone is enough to make the Xu family a county-level family in Taiwan. Many years later, it even has the prestige of the Wei and Jin families.

Xu Jie also saw this potential and realized that Zhou Mengchen did not lie to him.

As for whether Xu Jie was determined to move the Xu family to Taiwan, ordinary people really didn't have this determination. Xu Jie was not an ordinary person, and Xu Jie very much disliked the customs of Songjiang Prefecture. Xu Jie was planning to move to Jiangxi a long time ago because he felt that the people of Jiangxi were simple and not as profit-oriented as Songjiang.

In history, Xu Jie's tomb was not in Songjiang.

Now that there is a better choice, Xu Jie naturally has to go. After all, for Xu Jie, the major affairs of his family and country have nothing to do with him. His future energy is to lay the foundation for the Xu family so that the Xu family can be passed down from generation to generation and become a famous family.

Historically, Xu Jie bought land widely, which may not be the same.

Seeing that Xu Jie was so easy to talk, Zhou Mengchen immediately said, "It would be better if Mr. Xu could forgive me."

Xu Jie was about to speak, but he saw a minor official coming over and said, "Sir, the time is almost over."

Xu Jie said: "It just so happens that I won't waste everyone's time."

A group of people surrounded Xu Jie and boarded the train. Xu Jie's family occupied a carriage. In fact, it was not enough. Many of the remaining things were allowed to be transported slowly by the servants behind.

Xu Jie suddenly sighed infinitely: "Feixiong, I suddenly felt that your idea might be right. The world is about to change a lot."
