Chapter 575: Visiting Relatives and Friends (2)

"Pan Linfeng, Minister of Personnel, Minister of Works, Minister of Works, Minister of Works, Guo Congshi, Minister of Rites, Yan Hualou, Minister of Censorship, Song Sili, Minister of Guanglu Temple, and Gao Yizhi, the Yin of Jingzhao, all of them may retire within a few years because they are getting older."

Yu Zhijie's words shocked Jiang Anyi. There were so many senior officials in the court to be replaced. The news revealed will inevitably cause shock, and the fate of countless people will change as a result.

"Master Yu, can you tell me the replacement?" Jiang Anyi asked.

"Lu Jialin was hated by the emperor because of impeachment. He was going to retire two years ago. The emperor temporarily retained his position as Secretary of the Shangshu when the Northern Expedition was temporarily. Now the emperor is preparing to replace him. Ning Ze, the Minister of Works, is very likely to replace him. Duan Cizong, the governor of Chuzhou, will be transferred to Beijing and take over as Secretary of Personnel; Zhao Shulun, the governor of Lizhou, will also enter Beijing. This person has outstanding talents and is the grandson of Wei Xiang. The emperor should be valued."

Jiang Anyi looked happy. The three people mentioned by Master Yu all had a good relationship with him and would be helpful in the court in the future.

Yu Zhijie misunderstood Jiang Anyi's meaning, thinking that he wanted to find a position, and said, "You are still young and have been hard at the local area for a few years. When you are familiar with the people's conditions, you will be the position of the six ministers and nine ministers in the future. You will naturally be indispensable to the position of the prime minister. Only by accumulating strength can you last for a long time."

Jiang Anyi said: "Mr. Yu taught me a lesson, but my disciples are impatient and cumbersome by nature, so I am afraid that I will disappoint Master Yu. Brother Zhicheng is a steady person and has good behavior, so he can take on a great responsibility."

Yu Zhijie smiled and said, "You and Yucheng are both talents of Wang Zuo. What I am most proud of in my life is not to become the Minister of Revenue, but to be able to get Anyi as your disciple and Yucheng as your son-in-law."

He pointed to his two sons next to him, and Yu Zhijie sighed: "They are not good. In the future, you and Zhicheng will take care of me in my love."

Jiang Anyi hurriedly stood up and said, "Brother Qinghuan is a square man and is a true gentleman. Anyi is worse than Anyi. As for Brother Qingle, he likes to play, but he is still upright, so Master Yu doesn't need to worry. There is no need for Master Yu to give instructions to take care of him. Anyi should treat him as his elder brother."

"Okay, okay." Yu Zhijie laughed and looked happy. Although his children and nephews were ordinary, they could keep wealth and peace with Jiang Anyi and Zhang Zhicheng. I hope that some of my grandchildren will inherit the family business and make a difference.

"How is the tax on Qianzhou this year?" Jiang Anyi asked. As the top three in Fengle's ninth year, Wei Youcheng had already returned to Beijing to serve. He and Zhang Zhicheng were close friends and were both prefects, so they were inevitably somewhat comparative.

Yu Zhijie smiled and said, "He can't compare to you. Last year, Qianzhou issued a total of 1.4 million taels, which is more than twice as much as before. The emperor praised him a few words." Although his tone was talkative, the smile on his face was strong.

Qianzhou is located in the southeast corner of Dazheng, with inconvenient transportation and has always been a place of exile. Forty-eight Miao Villages often rebel. Qianzhou's taxes are only about 500,000 yuan, and it has always been the bottom of each state. Including the cost of the garrison, Qianzhou is a place of overpaid.

After Zhang Zhicheng went to Qianzhou, he changed the Miao village policy based on prevention and card, and personally went to Miaojiang to negotiate with Zhuo Can, the owner of Lingxiang Valley, and opened trade routes to strengthen exchanges. Zhuo Can was impressed by Zhang Zhicheng. After the Zheng army removed the checkpoint, he began to continuously export medicinal materials, sugar, tea, jade, batik and other Miao village specialties. Zhang Zhicheng cooperated with the new Anxi Grand Guardian Ning Tao to restrain the army and the officials were not allowed to take the opportunity to blackmail. The county magistrate of Lijiang County was dismissed, and the Zhaowu lieutenant of the Protectorate was punished by a stick. A group of soldiers who did not obey the orders and yamen runners were dealt with, and finally stopped the evil of reaching out to the Miao people.

wind.

Zhang Zhicheng cooperated with Ning Tao again, and the military and civilians worked together to build transportation roads connecting Qianzhou, Lizhou, Dezhou, Huangzhou and Shaozhou. Materials were also transported in. Qianzhou market was booming and commercial tax increased significantly. Although Huazhou was a place of battle, it was in trade with the Western Regions. The emperor set up a border city in Huazhou. Jiang'anyi used perfume as the guide, so that the commercial tax in Huazhou could reach as much as four million. The tax empowerment of Qianzhou reached 1.4 million, which was not much different from Huazhou.

Jiang Anyi knew that this one million and four hundred thousand was hard to come by and sighed: "Brother Zhicheng was in the southeast so that the court would not worry about the east. I heard that this northern expedition to Miao Village was intended to surrender, and he took the initiative to send 500 Miao soldiers to the war. Brother Zhicheng's talent in governing is above me."

Yu Zhijie knew that Jiang Anyi had not returned to Beijing for three years, and a large number of relatives and friends were visiting him, so he did not leave Jiang Anyi for dinner, so he asked him to come as long as he had time. Yu Qingle sent Jiang Anyi out and said with a smile: "Brother Anyi, when you have time, brother will greet you, how about you go to Manchunyuan to listen to music and drink?" Manchunyuan, Jiang Anyi remembered that Yu Qingle was obsessed with love for Lianer back then, and he didn't know if he had ever had a kiss. As a senior official in the court, it was naturally inconvenient to go to brothels. Brother Yu seemed to be romantic and unrest in the past.

Before noon, Jiang Anyi decided to go to Li's Mansion. Li Mingxing, the minister of Taipu Temple, was Tong'er's clan and the biggest backer of the Li family. When the Li family was suppressed by the emperor because of the Qing war, Li Mingxing also moved from Sinong Temple to Taipu Temple. Li Mingyi, the successor of the Li family, was frightened and was now wandering around in Fangzhou.

The Li family and Jiang Anyi are enemies, but because Queen Wang gave Tong'er a marriage to Jiang Anyi, Li Mingxing realized the situation and agreed to the marriage, resolved the grudges with Jiang Anyi, and discussed with the head of the family Li Mingde that Tong'er would manage the business of moving westward for the Li family in Huazhou. This decision seems very wise now. Last year, Tong'er earned 230,000 taels of dividends for the Li family and gave it 30% of the agreement. However, Tong'er was concerned about the difficulties of the clan and only took 30,000 taels, and the rest were handed over to the clan. The 200,000 taels of silver was undoubtedly a life-saving money for the Li family, and the clan could finally take a breath. Li Mingde gradually redeemed the pawned property and land, and the Li family showed a sense of excitement after cleaning up.

Li Mingxing looked at Jiang Anyi who was concentrating on drinking tea, and his heart felt like he had opened a grocery store. All kinds of ups and downs came up. After chatting for a few words, Li Mingxing suddenly thought that Li Dongsheng, a junior from the clan, came to Beijing for the examination. The Huazhou scholar who was dating him, had a conversation about Jiang Anyi in his hand, which was very useful. At present, the Li family was not young and did not accept it, and not many of the younger generations were capable. Li Dongsheng was only 24 years old. Li Mingxing saw that he was a talented person. If he could pass the imperial examination, he would be the successor of the Li family in the future.

"Come here, go and invite the 19th Young Master to see the guests." Li Mingxing ordered. Then he said to Jiang Anyi: "It is my nephew, the son of Tong'er's cousin. He ranks nineteenth by seniority. Tong'er wants to call him Brother Nineteenth. You are three years older than him, but you have to call him uncle."

The skill was not great, a young man in Rushan walked in, bowed to Li Ming, and called out "I've seen my uncle." Li Mingxing pointed to Jiang Anyi who was standing up and said, "Dongsheng, this is Tong'er's husband, your brother-in-law, you two have seen each other."

Li Dongsheng didn't respond to who Tong'er was. There were too many brothers and sisters in the family, and some of them had never even met him. He was a part of the Li family. If he had not been a Juren, he would have not had the chance to come to Beijing to see the Li family's pillar. However, he was humble and had no legitimate.

Zhi was so arrogant and arrogant, bowed gently to Jiang Anyi and said, "Dongsheng has met his brother-in-law."

Jiang Anyi had a good impression of the gentle young man in front of him. He could see that he did not recognize who he was. The gentleness he showed was from the heart. He smiled and replied, "An Yi was polite, and he had met his 19th brother-in-law."

Li Mingxing felt helpless about his nephew's reluctance and interrupted the two of them who were polite and said, "Dongsheng, didn't you say that the conversation book in Huazhou is very useful? Now An Yi is right in front of you, why not ask for help."

"Ah", "Ah", "Ah", three consecutive screams of surprise, one sound passed by. The head was a little stunned. When he reacted, the second sound expressed surprise and joy, and the third sound was shocked and at a loss.

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "I just heard from my uncle that Dongsheng was going to participate in this year's exam, but I don't know how well he was prepared."

Li Dongsheng came over clearly from the shock, and his mouth was still a little vague, "Jiang Da... No, brother-in-law, I dare not slackewer when I review books every day, and sometimes I can read articles when I go out. That conversation book is really good... By the way, I have some poetry and essays, so please give me some advice."

As he said that, Li Dongsheng was about to turn back to his residence to get his poems and manuscripts. Li Mingxing called out to his clan nephew who was a little panicked and said, "An Yi is here to be a guest. If you want to ask for a teacher, you will go to his house. Do you don't understand this truth?"

Jiang Anyi thought about teaching Fan Zhichang every night, and that one sheep would be put away and two sheep would be driven away, so he simply said, "I live in Taipingfang. I will talk about strategy to Mr. Fan's grandson these days. If Dongsheng is free, he might as well come and listen to it at Xu hour. If it is too late, he can stay in my mansion."

Li Dongsheng said excitedly: "If it's not trouble, I will live in my brother-in-law's house for a while, so I can also meet with that brother Fan."

It was already noon, and Li Mingxing hosted Jiang Anyi for a family dinner. This was the case with people. Some of the hatreds were easily resolved through interactions. In order not to make it difficult for Tong'er to do, Jiang Anyi intended to make up for his relationship with Li Mingxing. Li Mingxing knew that the future of the Li family would mostly rely on the support of this young man, so he did not put on the airs of elders. He asked about some Huazhou scenery at the banquet, and Li Dongsheng also interrupted and asked a few questions, and the meal was enough to make the guests and guests enjoy it.

After leaving the Li Mansion, Jiang Anyi rushed to the west city, and his father-in-law Li Laihe's residence was in the west city. Jiang Anyi handed over the shop of Xinqi Duijiu to his father-in-law Li Laihe. Although it was not as popular as the perfume shop, he could earn tens of thousands of taels of silver every year. When he was having a meal in the Li Mansion, Li Mingxing mentioned his father-in-law. For Jiang Anyi's sake, Li Mingxing took the opportunity to recognize his relatives. Li Shicheng was very active in Beijing and often organized gatherings of people at Zechang Academy, which was also a little famous. Li Mingxing recognized this great-grandson, and Li Shicheng had a solid backer in the capital.

The black sign in the West City is still swaying, but the store has expanded into three rooms. Vehicles transporting wine in front of the door are constantly moving, and it seems that the business is good. The waiter greeted Jiang Anyi who entered the store with a smile and asked, "Customer, what wine do you want to buy? In addition to burning knives and mixing wine, the store has newly entered the Jinyu Liquor from Huazhou. Do you want to try it?"

Jiang Anyi smiled and said, "I won't buy wine. If you have something to do with your shopkeeper, I'll bother me and send me a message."
