Chapter 370: Lofty ambition

Views:

Chongzhen heard Li Zhong's words and didn't respond, and said indifferently, "Go."

Li Zhong respectfully said: "Yes."

He didn't dare to conceal it, and became more cautious. The majesty in front of him seemed to have less and more distrust of the internal supervisor, even if he was a person who followed him when he believed in the palace.

It didn't take long for the news of Qianqing Palace to come out.

Bi Ziyan, who was busy at the Ministry of Households, heard the news, raised his head with emotion and looked at Zhou Qingli not far away, and said: "Our Yuanfu has a mind and vision, and dares to take on things."

Zhou Qingli raised her head from the vast official document, shook her head tiredly, and said, "It's hard to say, let's take a look."

Bi Ziyan is also well aware of the court situation, no matter whether you are a traitor or a capable minister, don't think about staying in the position of Shoufu for too long!

"Anyway, the tribulation of your unicorn child is over." Bi Ziyan said with a smile.

Zhou Qingli didn't speak, and picked up the tea cup smoothly.

Before Zhou Zheng left Beijing, Zhou Zheng chatted with him privately. He once lent a large sum of money to a person, who might join the cabinet this year.

Although Zhou Zheng didn't mention who it was, Zhou Qingli could already guess at this moment, it was probably the new first assistant.

The new chief assistant only took a few months from joining the cabinet to becoming the first assistant. His previous position was very low. If arrangements were made, it would be very possible.

Zhou Yanru's reputation is quite bad. This time he can be promoted to the first assistant. One is that there is no one in the court, qualified, and not many seniors. He is the taller one among the short ones. The other one is rumored to be very widespread-bribery of the internal prison.

Bi Ziyan and Zhou Qingli just said, continuing to be busy with political affairs.

The palace wants to reprimand Zhou Zheng. This has satisfied the wishes of many people. After they think about it, it will not take long before Zhou Zheng should be sentenced to prison!

As a result, they tried their best to impeach Zhou Zheng, not knowing how many memorials flew into the Secretary of General Political Affairs.

But it fell to nothing, and there was no more movement.

When the decree arrived in Hejian Mansion, a group of people were surprised at first, and then rejoiced.

With such a big movement, the court finished reprimanding the decree together. Doesn't this not lift up and gently put it down, without the meaning of asking sin

As a result, Hejian Mansion's actions became more violent and faster, and Taishan pushed forward Zhou Zheng's reform policy in Hejian Mansion like the top of the mountain.

No matter how many complaints there are in Hejian Prefecture, there are tens of thousands of aggressive bandits outside and thousands of soldiers inside. Whether it is based on real evidence or Zhulian, without the intervention of the court, they can't resist Zhou Zheng.

Zhou stayed in the Hejian Mansion until June, and seeing that the situation was set, he turned and returned to Tianjin Wei.

Tianjin Wei is really a special place. There is not only a canal that can go directly to Nanzhili, but also a river that flows into the sea. It is an important transportation hub.

Zhou Zheng came to Dagu, the estuary of Tianjin Wei in the middle of June.

Cheng Jingjing was accompanied by Zhou Zheng, standing on a large rock, condescendingly looking at the sea, and said a little excitedly: "My lord, this Tianjin Wei is not only an important route for north and south, but also has developed business and trade. Haikou, especially the adult’s site, if the headquarters of the Zhou Chamber of Commerce can be moved here, it will be much better than in the capital, all conditions are good!"

Zhou Zheng looked at the sea, with the sea breeze blowing in his mood, and said: "I am very happy if you can think of this. The Yongping Mansion was good at first, but I didn't expect that I could come to Tianjin Guardian."

Cheng Jingji hurriedly said: "Yeah, who would have thought that the adults would return to power Tianjin Wei, this position is simply perfect! If you manage well, you won't have to worry about money in the future!"

Zhou Zheng didn’t seem to hear the words of Cheng Economic, and said in a rare passionate tone: "I want to dredge Tianjin Wei, all the lakes, rivers, and seas in Hejian Mansion! I want to build a large port in this Haikou, thousands of ships per day. Thousands of ships come and go, and there are countless goods coming in and out every day. There are many inns and restaurants, the long streets crisscross, and the lights are bright all night..."

Cheng Jingji knew that Zhou was a man with a big heart. Hearing his impassionedness, he raised his hand excitedly and said: "My lord, the villain is willing to do my best to help adults achieve what they want, and make Tianjin Wei more prosperous than Yangzhou and Suzhou. ten times!"

Zhou Zheng turned his head to look at him, hahaha laughed and said, "Okay!"

Zhou Zheng and Chengjiu stood on the big rock, looking at the sea, amidst their talk and laughter, in only half a month, millions of taels of silver were invested in Tianjin Wei!

From Yongping Mansion to Tianjin Wei, and then to Hejian Mansion, the people are busy working when the farming is busy; when they are free, there are soldiers summoned to drill in the village, and there are more than 100,000 young men!

From Baiyangdian to the north, to Sanjiaodian, and then to the east along the Weihe River to the sea mouth of Dagu, I don’t know how many people are rectifying the lakes and river courses. At first glance, it is full of enthusiasm and vigor.

While Zhou Zheng was busy rectifying the Hejian Mansion and implementing his long-awaited plan, the civil unrest in Shaanxi became more and more fierce and even spread to more than a dozen prefectures and counties in Shanxi, alarming the capital.

Shaanxi participated in politics and Hong Chengchou reorganized the army and defeated several gangsters, but the gangsters' momentum remained unabated. There was a prairie fire, and dozens of'grass head kings' appeared all over Shaanxi.

The imperial court seemed to recognize the crisis for the first time and began to deploy troops and horses to enter Shanxi and Shaanxi to suppress civil unrest.

The Armament Bureau under the Ministry of Industry accidentally exploded the chamber when experimenting with the new artillery. The Ministry of War Shangshu Liang Tingdong impeached the Ministry of Industry Physician in charge, and the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Nan Juyi petitioned for his defense. As a result, a battle between the ruling and the opposition was triggered. The Ordnance Bureau was closed.

Jianluo tentatively attacked Liaodong and returned without success.

In mid-August, Yuan Chonghuan, who had been procrastinating for a long time, was finally sentenced to death—Ling Chi!

The news about Yuan Chonghuan’s collaborating with the enemy and betraying his country has spread all over the capital. For a time, the crowd was so excited that hundreds of people were extremely angry, even if the corpse was not let go!

This kind of capital punishment is also extremely rare in Daming, not to mention Yuan Chonghuan, who was once stunned for a while.

This shows how hate Chongzhen is in his heart.

I don't know how many senior officials are worried and worried.

Yuan Chonghuan has been an emperor for many years, especially Liaodong is a legendary man, many clansmen, old men, and now have complex emotions, it is hard to say.

When he heard the news, Zhou Zheng was in Tianjin Wei's camp.

Cao Bianjiao was not familiar with Yuan Chonghuan. When Yuan Chonghuan was there, he was still a low-level soldier, which is because of Cao Wenzhao's relationship, but he has never spoken to Yuan Chonghuan.

Cao Bianjiao stood in front of Zhou Zheng, his face was tanned, and his voice was unusually bright. He said, "My lord, there are currently 30,000 people recruited. According to my lord, 15,000 people have been strictly trained. They are the number of soldiers given by the court. The remaining 15,000 people will retire 5,000 people in half a year and keep them as preparations for supplements at any time."

In the summer, Zhou Zheng also wore armor, with fine sweat on his face. He didn't care about it. He flipped through the roster and said, "Well, even if it is preparation, training cannot be weakened. Also, the military pay must be clearly understood. We must deal with them severely, and we must not be merciful. Our army must be clean and disciplined!"

Cao Bianjiao said: "Yes! His subordinates have strictly requested the Military Law Department, and no one is allowed to know the law and break the law!" (End of this chapter)
