Chapter 75                                                                                                                             �

Although the Marquis of Fengcheng was supported by Zhou Mengchen in Datong, the situation in the Beijing camp was so heavy that it was hard to recover. Even if Ma Fang was on the battlefield, the decisive generals could only restrain their minions and honestly admit defeat under such a situation.

The more effective the reform of Fengcheng Hou’s reform, the more counterattack he had to face.

Of course, Fengcheng Hou has the support of Jiajing. There will be no open matter. But there are many methods in secret, except for the parties involved. Fengcheng Hou's illness is directly related to such a situation. How can it be possible to rest?

But such a situation is also beneficial and harmful to Zhou Mengchen.

There is no need to mention the benefits. The relationship between Fengcheng Hou and Zhou Mengchen is closer. However, it also makes Fengcheng Hou unable to help Zhou Mengchen in many cases.

"That's it." Zhou Mengchen said: "Let me be quiet."

Xu Wei was a little ashamed and said, "I can only go to Beijing and see if the situation can make a last try. I am really not sure. I can only do my best. I still have to prepare for the second best. Please think twice and my subordinates will leave."

Zhou Mengchen nodded.

After Xu Wei retreated.

Zhou Mengchen was silent for a long time. Now it is a paradox. The better he does. The situation he has to face is contrary to his wishes. The more difficult it is in the court.

Sometimes Zhou Mengchen really wonders whether he should give up on the idea of ​​reconnaissance?

Zhou Mengchen was still unwilling to accept it deep down. How much did he prepare for this matter? As a result, he gave up halfway? Wait for the next time, there is another possibility, and there is another chance. I don’t know when it will disrupt Zhou Mengchen’s plans, about the economy, about politics, and about the future.

"There is only the only way to do our best to let God do our best." Zhou Mengchen said in his heart.

Zhou Mengchen only lowered for a while and then cheered up again. Even if he had to leave one day, Zhou Mengchen wanted to ask for a good start and end, and he could leave. Perhaps it would be impossible to get trapped again. But his career in Datong could not end.

So he worked harder and devoted himself to his work.

On the one hand, it is about tax collection for two industrial areas. Generally speaking, bills are formulated. Any product production must have such bills. If there is no such product, local officials can confiscate it in other places.

As for how to prevent counterfeiting in bills, and how to prevent businessmen from getting loopholes in formulating regulations, it also requires easy execution for those below to do so. Zhou Mengchen, Yang Jisheng, and Xu Wei were very worried.

In this matter, there is actually no unchanging method. Instead, it is full of dynamic games between tax collectors and tax payers, and there is no one-time and for all.

This is what Zhou Mengchen values ​​the most.

The second is the two industries he also wants to deploy in Datong.

The first industry is leather processing and wool textile industry. After a year of exploration, without Zhou Mengchen taking action, the disciples of Datong Academy have already explored these two technologies. This made Zhou Mengchen happy, but also a little disappointed.

There is nothing else. Although Zhou Mengchen hopes to achieve results, he also hopes that there will be successors in Qixue, and there will be several outstanding disciples like Wang Su and Wang Pu.

It’s just a pity that this time the main result is actually two old craftsmen from Jiangnan. The students just did some specific work under the guidance of the two old craftsmen.

This time, the roughly processed sheepskin is also the most basic raw material for promoting this industry. In addition, Datong originally had some basic leather making. The leather processing industry does not have to worry about the issue of wool, but we need to wait until the spring is in full bloom before we talk to the Tartars.

The second industry is the ceramics industry.

The reason for this is that on the one hand, it is to provide supporting facilities for the canning industry. Although Zhou Mengchen is preparing to use canned iron in the future, it is just an idea. In today's case, ceramics are still cheaper than iron. Moreover, for the sake of being lighter, porcelain should also be used instead of bulky pottery.

In addition, Zhou Mengchen also discovered another point.

That is, what is left of canned can be said to be piled up into mountains.

At the beginning, the soldiers took these bones home. After all, this idea lacked meat and fish, so it was good to be able to chew bones. But over time, the bones were not valuable and no one wanted them. Some of them wanted to burn the bones and then fatten the fields.

Zhou Mengchen suddenly thought of British bone porcelain.

Nothing else, the world's top porcelain comes from China, and the only bone porcelain naturally impressed Zhou Mengchen. He didn't know what the specific method of firing bone porcelain was? However, Zhou Mengchen didn't have to worry too much about the accumulation of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty. Just put out the most critical little bit. That is to burn it with bone powder.

Perhaps in the future, relying on a large number of natural resources such as bones, there will be a famous kiln in Datong.

But while Zhou Mengchen was preparing, the situation in Beijing was also changing rapidly.

As Huang Jin said, Tang Ruyi's impeachment passed quietly like a mighty Buddha's face. It arrived in the cabinet and was rejected by Xu Jie. It seemed that nothing had happened. In fact, it was not the case, and the undercurrent soon surged.

The Ministry of Revenue proposed to draw places where there is surplus silver on the grounds that the Taicang silver is insufficient.

Although the Ministry of Revenue wants to investigate the world, in fact, the Ministry of Revenue sharpens its knives and looks up to Datong.

This matter should be pressed by the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War said that Datong is poor and is known to everyone in the world, and the renewal is incurred by war. People should not live in the lives of the people. It is nonsense that the Ministry of Revenue goes to Datong.

The Ministry of Revenue immediately made some of Zhou Mengchen's policies and current situations, and made mistakes one by one.

After all, although Zhou Mengchen is the governor of Datong, Datong is not Zhou Mengchen's Datong after all. Zhou Mengchen must and has to hand over some things with the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue cannot understand all these things. Because Zhou Mengchen also made some small measures in official documents, this is Xu Wei's work. But it is impossible for him to completely ignore them.

As soon as these things were turned out, a sensation suddenly caused. The court was so distressed that there were so many financial surpluses in Datong's suburbs. For a moment, the wind direction changed uncertainly.

Some people think that Zhou Mengchen has made meritorious ministers, but the Ministry of Revenue controls the world, but they are incompetent. In addition to collecting money and grain from Datong, Zhou Mengchen should also be transferred to the Ministry of Revenue. Some people think that Zhou Mengchen violated the ancestral system. Anyway, at the beginning of the 33rd year of Jiajing, Zhou Mengchen rushed to the forefront.

In February, Zhou Mengchen's third-year period expired. Beijing officially issued an order to enter Beijing to report on his duties.

Zhou Mengchen knew that this report was not simple.

So Zhou Mengchen gave Yang Jisheng one by one what he prepared. Zhou Mengchen said, "If I really can't stay in Datong, I will recommend Brother Yang as the governor of Datong at all costs. All of this will be left to Brother Yang."

Although Yang Jisheng also knew that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to Zhou Mengchen, he still didn't understand many of them and said, "With the teacher's support, I will definitely return successfully when I go to Beijing. Brother Zhou, don't worry."

Zhou Mengchen laughed loudly after hearing this. Some words were hard to say to Yang Jisheng.

Yes. Yang Jisheng is Xu Jie's disciple. The relationship between the two is also very deep. But the problem is that Yang Jisheng himself does not think so, but in fact, those who are close to Zhu are red, while those who are close to Mo are black. From an academic point of view, Yang Jisheng is becoming more and more inclined to Zhou Mengchen.

Although the relationship between him and Xu Jie is still there, when Zhou Mengchen and Xu Jie part ways, it is hard to say when he has to choose one between Zhou Mengchen and Xu Jie.

Xu Jie was obviously a little worried about Yang Jisheng.

Of course, even though Xu Jie was worried about Yang Jisheng, he did not show it. He even intended to make Yang Jisheng feel that they were one. Instead, he had to try his best to win over Yang Jisheng off his will. Thus, he influenced Zhou Mengchen through Yang Jisheng.

Yang Jisheng was actually a little naive in politics. He didn't notice the subtle relationship between Zhou Mengchen and Xu Jie at all. He really thought that this time he returned to Beijing, Zhou Mengchen could get Xu Jie's full help.
