Chapter 16 The Sixteenth "One Skilled Flower" Strategy to Seize Military Salary Liu Wulong and Lu Zhuo

Liang Fuyun's face was pale, and he was so annoyed that he couldn't change his anger. It took him a long time to speak clearly: Yan Ruyun and Huangfu Shuiqiang took Liang Fuyun out of the Laomao Inn.When Liang Fuyun looked at the sky, it was still at the beginning of the application process. Vegetable sellers, soy sauce and vinegar sellers were coming and going on the street, and the merchants staying in the shop were bustling with each other. It was peaceful and peaceful.They left the shop and went west, then north, and turned two corners. Huangfu Shuiqiang pointed to the building in front and said, "This is our young mistress's shop." The yard unloaded all the goods, big and small sacks were piled up, and the guys carried big teapots to deliver water to each room, and everything was normal.Liang Fuyun felt more relieved, and said with a smile: "This house is spacious, but the facade is too old!"

"You see it well," Yan Ruyun said with a smile, "this shop was just purchased from Erhuo Liu. The man surnamed Liu is a prodigal son. He can't do anything except prostitute. Our young mistress is very shrewd. I bought it for a hundred taels of silver—at this moment, the young mistress is upstairs. You wait here, we will bring the medicine for her to see, as long as it suits her, the business will be considered!" Liang Fuyun made up his mind: People never leave goods, goods never leave people.He also smiled and said: "I'm sorry, our master has something to say, so I can't leave the goods. Please reply to your young mistress, unless you pay both the goods and the money in person - these more than one hundred catties are worth tens of thousands of dollars!" Yan Ruyun and Huangfu Shuiqiang looked at each other in embarrassment, Yan Ruyun said: "This property was bought in the name of my uncle and wife. Our old lady is good at everything, but I am afraid that my wife will save her own money. You go up in case Let people know, our wife will be gossiped by others!" Liang Fuyun just shook his head and said: "That's your housework, I don't care about it." Huangfu Shuiqiang and Yan Ruyun whispered a few words, Yan Ruyun then Deng Deng went upstairs, and suddenly saw a girl waving at the stairs.Liang Fuyun and Huangfu Shuiqiang also went upstairs carrying the sack with all their might.

Although the three rooms upstairs are old, they are very spacious. There is a large bedroom closet to the west wall, an Eight Immortals table in the middle, and almost nothing else.Obviously, the young lady didn't want to see outsiders, so she pulled a curtain in the middle of the room.Huangfu Shuiqiang put down the sack, stood in front of the curtain and said: "Young Mistress, the guests have come, and the goods have also been brought." Yi Ying behind the curtain said: "Then invite the guests to sit down and bring the goods in for me to see." As soon as the curtain moved, Lei Jian came out dressed as a maidservant and was about to fetch the sack.

"Reply to Mrs. Zun." Liang Fuyun was still very careful, stood up and crossed his hands and said, "The goods are all high-quality Beijing goods, bought from the tribute, otherwise I would not dare to ask for such a high price. The steward of the Zunfu has already seen Passed. The young mistress wants to test, just grab a little and check." After saying that, he untied the sack. Suddenly there was a noise downstairs, as if the shop assistants were welcoming someone.Hello, hello, it's noisy.Yan Ruyun and Huangfu Shuiqiang looked at each other and turned pale.Yi Ying's voice was also a little flustered: "The old lady is here! Which bitch is chewing on my wife's tongue? Someone must have leaked the news—quickly, pack up your things!"

In a panic, without saying a word, Yan Renyun and Huangfu Shuiqiang opened the big bedroom cabinet and put two sacks in it.Yi Ying didn't care to show her face, and brought the three maids out of the curtain, and said to Yan Ruyun, "Follow me down—please Mr. Liang stay away for a while. If the old lady wants to come up, Mr. Liang will say yes." My natal uncle!" After speaking, he led everyone downstairs.Liang Fuyun heard voices and laughter from downstairs, and girls greeting the old lady from upstairs, and they all headed towards the backyard in chaotic footsteps. Liang Fuyun couldn't help laughing secretly when he thought of the situation where his wife put all her own money into foreign debts "to prevent the separation of the family".He simply sat on the big bedroom cabinet and smoked cigarettes, and thought about the horse bits and leather ropes, whether he should go to the cobbler's shop to make a new one later.Hearing no one's voice below for a long while, my heart suddenly became vigilant - when I hurriedly got up and went downstairs to look, I saw no one in the front and backyard of the shop!In a panic, he hurried into the yard to untie a sack. When he looked at the thing, the sack was filled with green grass... He suddenly felt frightened, dropped the straw sack and ran upstairs.There is a false door open under the sleeping cabinet. It is a bottomless cabinet. Where is there any other goods? !

Bursts of cold sweat dripped down, and Liang Fuyun felt numb and cold from head to toe—jumped down the stairs in three steps at a time. "Mr. Shi" and "Young Mistress" shouted nonsense, kicked and knocked from door to door in the front yard and backyard, and searched, but there were no houses and no one.Liang Fuyun has never suffered such a loss since his debut, and is often praised by Huang Tianba as "bold, careful, and serious in doing things".This time, in broad daylight, people have stolen tens of thousands of silver in medicinal materials.His anger is no small matter! ——He rushed out of the inn like crazy, caught several neighbors, kicked, beat and interrogated them, and finally figured out: this was originally a deserted Shanshan Guild Hall.A few days ago, a group of people came and spent dozens of taels of silver for a little renovation, saying that they would stay for a while and then leave.No one in town recognized them, neither where they came from nor where they were going.

"That's it, my apprentice was deceived..." Liang Fuyun fell to his knees with a plop, and the big man couldn't help but burst into tears.At this time, Jia Fuchun, Zhu Fumin, Cai Fuqing, Liao Fuhua, Gao Fuying and others had heard the news and rushed over. Seeing this always shrewd junior bursting into tears and looking like he was in pain, they were also very angry and tried to persuade him.Gao Heng's face was livid with anger, and he patted the table and called, "Tell them the mayor here! In the peaceful world, the world is bright and bright, and there is this gang of people who have cheated and robbed us!"

Huang Tianba frowned tightly, suppressing the anger in his heart, weighing the weight of this matter.After a long while, he said: "Grandpa, don't forget that we are not here to bet with others. I think it is a blessing that our real goods have not been spotted by others! The mayor and the town are not reliable in this place. If a small group Thieves, they don’t dare to think about me, the Huang’s bodyguard; if they are big bandits, the officers and soldiers can’t count on them first. This is the reason why I don’t want to live in Matou Town.” "You mean to blame me for this?!" Gao Heng said in a nasty voice, "I called this place!"

"How dare you have such a meaning under the bid?" Huang Tianba smiled patiently when he saw him lose his temper, "The most important thing now is to protect the darts, it's a good thing that the thieves didn't target us. Otherwise, if we fight in this place, even if it is a tie, how can we protect the escort vehicle for thousands of miles behind?" "What do you say?" Gao Heng's expression softened, he still had more than 2,000 miles to Sichuan, and he was relying on Huang Tianba's escort, so he had to accept it. "Can't it be pulled down?"

"You can't pull it down. This is the money I lost, so I will pay it back. The face I lost, I will get it back." Huang Yaoba persuaded, "At this time, I have to bear this tone—— Write down the reason of the case first, and send the lost order to Handan Mansion. There is a case of fraud in the place under his jurisdiction, so they are naturally ordered to take the thief to find the stolen goods-we should go on our way tomorrow. Send the silver to the army safely, and turn around I'll take my time to deal with these bastards. At this time, I don't dare to make a small mistake..."

Gao Heng let out a deep breath. He was really a little bit pained after losing so many precious medicinal materials: "It's enough to redeem Qiao Meier! Sigh..." Huang Tianba changed his face to the six eunuchs. He was livid, and said: "You have seen it, the people in the world are sinister, and there are more tricks than this tricky poisonous scheme! From now on, the inner courtyard will never leave people; the guards outside should also prepare enough hidden weapons and daggers. If you think about the matter of 'taking the thief', you are not allowed to go out alone to find the thief—do you all understand?" "tie!" The apprentices responded in unison. Yi Ying and others succeeded, took two sacks of medicine and did not go away, hiding in the ruined courtyard of Mawang Temple in the north of Zhenbei, waiting for Huang Tianba to come to search.After waiting for an hour, there was no movement.Just as he was about to send someone to investigate, the second epileptic from the Laomao Inn ran over, panting and said: "They won't search anymore - quickly find another way!" Yi Ying thought for a while with a raised face , smiled and said: "The one surnamed Huang is unambiguous! Laizi brothers go back first, and then tell them two to go. You just grab them and shout." He confessed a few words to Yan Ruyun and Huangfu Shuiqiang, and said with a smile: "Shi Chenggong—if the matter is not successful, you can't fly away and stir him up again!" So Yan Ruyun and Huangfu Shuiqiang each drank a large gourd of wine, pretended to be drunk, and linked arms again hurried to the Laomao Inn—it was time for the red sun to set in the west. At this moment, Erhanzi and Erdianzi were already ready. Seeing the two of them swaying into the alley, Erhanzi yelled: "Take the thief!" Zhu Yan Ruyun screamed: "What a thief! Since Matou Town, I have seen all kinds of black turtle and miscellaneous fish thieves, but I have never seen you so bold!" Knowing that the West Courtyard was cheated by Ren Yang, some were having dinner, some had already eaten, and when they heard that they had caught the thief, they swarmed out and stood watching from a distance. "What?" Yan Ruyun was seized by the second idiot with both hands, and pretended to be drunk and blurred, and asked, "Who... who is the thief... come, drink..." Huangfu Shuiqiang pretended to be drunk. Ling woke up, touched the back of his head and said, "Ah! What did you do, did you run here?" - Pulled Erhanzi's braid from behind, and pulled Erhanzi suddenly, and Erhanzi was thrown on all fours .However, he was extremely nimble, turned over on a kite, hugged Huangfu Shuiqiang's leg tightly, and yelled: "The thief is caught! Come quickly—two epileptics, I call you your eighth generation ancestor! Why don't you come to help... shopkeeper Gao and shopkeeper Huang... come quickly!" The Wutai Bao Gao Fuying and Huang Tianba's nephews were patrolling outside the store, and they had already reported the situation.The first one, Liang Fuyun, couldn't bear it anymore, drew his sword in his hand and shouted: "Take the thief!" His nine disciples followed immediately.Huang Tianba was awakened from his sleep, and when he rushed out of the west wing to look, Gao Heng had already led everyone out of the store.The owner of the shop next door was still yelling: "Guests, help Gao Ye catch the thief! There are only four of them, and two of them are women... There will be rewards for capturing the government, and so will Gao Ye and Huang Ye." ..." The voice was so shrill and high that it could be heard two miles away. "They're all gone, what about the money here?" Huang Tianba thought for a moment, and immediately broke out in cold sweat.Turning around and entering the room, he took off the precious sword, and took a soft gold silk whip and wrapped it around his waist.The whole body finished with a halt, and he walked out of the hospital and closed the door.Listening carefully to the commotion outside, at first there was a faint sound of fighting and killing, but gradually it became calm.He stepped on the careful stone rolling in the courtyard, and looked around vigilantly; watching the twilight gradually descending, he was thinking about the scene of Gao Heng and the six great eunuchs fighting, and recalling the situation of being fooled this afternoon, the enemy's arrangements were so meticulous, The serial sets are one after the other.Huang Tianba smiled wryly and shook his head. Suddenly, people's voices and footsteps came from outside the courtyard, interspersed with people's excited chatter and laughter, as if they were returning with the guests staying at the hotel who were watching the excitement. The woman is so capable that Master Liao vomited blood with one slap..." Some said: "It's Master Zhu who is the best, that serial killer, hey!" Some said: "Master Liao can't, Yang Tianfei kicked me Kicked and rolled a few times. That's called embarrassment!" The boss smiled and shouted through the door: "Hey—Master Huang! Master Gao and the others have caught the thief. They ran away three times and caught that Yang Tianfei!" The guests also smiled and said: "We help you fight Taiping boxing and help you catch thieves. You have to treat us!" "Where did you catch them?" Huang Tianba felt relieved all of a sudden, stepped forward to open the door, and said, "There are so many people, why did you tell them to leave? What a bunch of killers—" Before he finished speaking, The door was squeezed open with a bang.Five burly men rushed in like arrows, and rushed towards Huang Tianba!Huang Tianba's heart was already slack, how could he prevent him, he was thrown to the ground in an instant, he spun his legs, one cut the sun and the moon, and knocked down two, when he was about to get up and draw his sword, those few people were veterans , where can it be?Limbs and necks were tightly bound.Huang Daba was about to struggle, but a cold sword was pointed at his throat.When I looked closely, it was a woman.Wearing a black short jacket with button-up trousers, buckskin boots, and a red cloak, it was the "One Flower" Yi Ying whom I had seen in the Ma's compound!Huang Tianba was so angry that blood came out of his eyes, and he cursed: "Thousands of people are fucking whores! If you have the ability, let's compete one-on-one!" Yi Ying's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain was successful, and he didn't want to grind his teeth with him, so he withdrew his sword with a sneer, and ordered: "This man's mouth is too stinky, stuff him with hemp walnuts, wait a little bit, be firm! Let's load the car and leave!" "Hu Yinzhong and the others agreed, wrapped one on the left and the other on the right, and immediately tied up a martial arts master into a rice dumpling.Yi Ying then smiled and said: "I'll forgive you one more time—naturally someone will come to settle accounts with you! Don't cry in your eyes, the underworld always fights wits but not strength. See you next time, I'm so happy to compete with you!" Huang Tianba said Whining and murmuring, struggling all over, seeing people loading cars and harnessing animals, seeing even the shop owner, the schizophrenia, the ignorant man, and the "guests" going out calmly, hearing the sound of the car rumbling away, I was both startled and overwhelmed. Angry, sad, and anxious, he lost his breath as soon as his eyes darkened... 650,000 taels of Huang Gang were robbed!An hour later, Zhu Baoqiang, the magistrate of Handan, rushed to send this appalling news to Baoding with 800 miles; at dawn, the governor of Baoding signed the charge and the master on duty was awakened from his sleep by Goshha. Seeing that it was such an urgent business, he did not ask for instructions The governor, stamped the governor's customs defense, sealed the seal and flew it to Beijing immediately.In the afternoon of the next day, it was reported to the military aircraft department.At this time, the sky was already dark, and Fu Heng was about to go back home.Neqin opened the document and read it, and his face immediately became extremely serious.When Fu Heng leaned over to take a look, his face also changed.Neqin said: "The emperor must be summoned to discuss this matter. Let's go in together - let the military plane Zhang Jing inform the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and notify us as soon as the emperor has finished his dinner. If the emperor has not eaten, don't rush to tell us yet! After hearing this, Fu Heng sat back and said, "Master Zhang and E must also be notified when they get along. In case the emperor wants to see you, it will be too late to pass the decree." After reading it, Neqin added He handed over his own seal to Fu Heng, and said, "Let's forget about Ertai! He was very sick. I went to see him yesterday and couldn't even get out of bed!" Fu Heng frowned while looking at Handan magistrate's flamboyant and phoenix-flavored characters, and said with a smile, "It's better to let me know. Don't you know E Xiang's temper? Last time when the Huaihe River collapsed, I didn't tell him. Later, I met him. He smiled and said: "It's useless. Since we occupy the latrine and don't shit, it's better to vacate the latrine." We feel sorry for him, but it's so boring to listen to his angry words!" Neqin also laughed: "People When I get old, I get smaller again. Zhang Xiang is such an open-minded person, and now he is very fussy. His grandson hid Gongsheng and asked me three times if he was registered with the Ministry of Rites. I insisted on transferring the registration book of the Ministry of Rites to him. Looking at the name, I smiled with my beard. When we get older in the future, will we also look like this?" Just as he was talking, he saw Wang Yi, the eunuch of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, hurrying over and said: "The emperor called in, this time Just please!" Fu Heng then asked: "Has the emperor eaten yet?" "The emperor didn't eat any food," Wang Yi said, "It looks like he has a bad complexion and is angry. The food that was sent up was returned." Neqin wanted to ask, but Wang Yi didn't expect to say anything, so he swallowed it. , together with Fu Heng, went in from Yongxiang, stood at the entrance of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and just said, "Slavery, Fu Heng—" and heard Qianlong sternly said inside: "Come in!" The two looked at each other, and walked in cautiously, and sure enough, they saw Qianlong standing facing the large glass window of the Nuan Pavilion, without a smile on his face.The two knelt down with the corners of their robes in their hands, kowtowed deeply and said: "My servant waits for my respectful greetings!" "Get up!" Qianlong let out a long breath without even looking at them, and said after a long time: "Government is so hard to deal with, these people are disloyal to the emperor, don't they want my own conscience?" One sentence made both of them puzzled. Fu Heng thought about it and said, "Master, what happened? The slaves are ignorant and can't figure it out!" Qianlong then turned his face, sighed, and said, "Lu Zhuo. There is new evidence in Lu Zhuo's case." Both Fu Heng and Neqin were shocked: Lu Zhuo was a well-known official in Yongzheng Dynasty.During the Yongzheng period, the imperial court implemented the system of returning fire consumption to the public, and the big officials in various places did not move. Lu Zhuo was still a small county magistrate in Wuyi, Zhili at that time. Severely punish the big grain households and big Zhuangtou who dominate the official business and bully the people.Meng Shizong summoned him in person and moved him to the magistrate of Haozhou.Fighting with weapons was banned in Haozhou, the prison was cleared, and the territory was solemn, and every family did not close their doors at night; then moved to the prefect of Dongchang, Shandong, built a long moat, dredged canals, and relieved the victims, and the political voice rose.In the third year of Qianlong's reign, he was the governor of Zhejiang and also managed the salt administration. During his tenure, he taught the people to raise silkworms and weaving, and cleaned up the moat of the provincial capital. Cheng ordered prefectures and counties to prevent smuggling of salt from disturbing the people, not to arrest shoulder peddlers, and not to use punishments for recourse to salt farms. They also reduced salt prices, exempted rice taxes, and increased school quotas...Walk everywhere to get the support of thousands of people.These political achievements are worth it. When he took office in Zhejiang, he asked for an order to change the Haining grass pond into a stone pond and prepare for the transportation of stones by the Tanghe River.After three years of hard work in the battle of Jianshanba, Lu Zhuo was really willing to throw himself down and set up the governor's yamen signing room in the reed shed on the construction site. Both of the masters in the yamen were exhausted, and finally succeeded in An Lan.Not only Zhejiang Province, but even Fujian have been spared the suffering of flood control every year.For this alone, there are more than 10,000 hectares of dry land.People from Zhejiang built an academy for him called "Lugong Temple". Emperor Qianlong was overjoyed and issued an edict to praise him: "The construction of the Jianshan dam, the former emperor of Shangjin worked hard during the night, and the officials of Fengjiang worked hard for many years, and it was completed. Not only to comfort me, but also to comfort the spirit of the late emperor!" He had already made it known that he wanted to transfer Lu Zhuo to be the Minister of the Household Department, and to add the title of Prince Taibao. Unexpectedly, at this time, a civil case broke out.In Tongxiang County, Jiaxing Prefecture, the family of the Wang surname was separated. The second son of the Wang family, Wang Shaozu, secretly donated 30,000 taels of silver to Yang Zhenjing, the magistrate, and entrusted Yang to transfer 50,000 taels of money to Lu Zhuo in order to get 3,000 mu of Jinkuotian and a piece of Fengshui cattle sleeping treasure.The matter was already closed.It happened that Liu Wulong, Sun Jiaquan's protege, went to Fujian to handle the case.Go to the study and transfer Ertai's instructions, and ask the Ministry of Officials to investigate.After several months of investigation, the reply said, "None of the Wang family, Yang Zhenjing, and Lu Zhuo admitted that there was any bribery. Liu Wulong's words of the way are not to be believed." ——Originally, this matter has passed, but now it is There are new credentials! "Speaking of Lu Zhuo, I also cherish him very much!" Qianlong stroked his newly grown mustache and paced in the hall, his voice was gloomy and low: "He came to see me last winter, he was black and thin—you They all know him well, so he is considered a handsome man! ——The skin on his arm is peeling off... I held his hand, and it was covered in calluses! This man... How could he do such a thing?!" He Turning her head quickly, she saw the two assistant ministers who were silent, their pupils glistening in the shadow of the light, already bursting into tears. Fu Heng felt a fever in his heart, and lowered his head. Before he joined the Military Aircraft Department, he used to inspect Liangjiang, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian as an imperial envoy. He went to the Jianshanba construction site and worked with Lu Zhuo for several months. , Diligent, virtuous, the common people respect him like a god, all of which I have witnessed with my own eyes.Get along well with myself too.At this moment, he couldn't defend him - he thought, Lu Zhuo is Zhang Tingyu's favorite student, Zhang Tingyu has been "sick" and can't be on duty at the military aircraft department, is it to avoid this matter?Then, did Liu Wulong, the one who attacked, be instigated by E...someone?Just as he was thinking wildly, the neqin beside him said: "Although Lu Zhuo has a little work, it is the duty of a courtier. Since corruption and bribery have made Jun father a ignorant reputation, the crime of deceiving the king is unforgivable! Lu has always been known as a competent official. This is the bad atmosphere of the Han people. His external affairs are clean and his reputation is inviting, but his internal greed and filth are unspeakable. He should be locked up in Beijing, handed over to the Ministry for interrogation, and dealt with according to the law. This shows that The imperial court of the world treats all ministers and workers equally. This is the only way to prevent foreign officials from doing anything wrong." Fu Heng also made up his mind, leaning over the bed and said: "Although what Neqin said is true, it involves civil matters. A group of witnesses were escorted from Zhejiang, and they didn't know when the case would be closed. It was tantamount to sending these witnesses and innocent people into exile. Based on the insight of a slave, he decreed that Lu Zhuo should be dismissed on the spot and questioned, and an imperial envoy or governor of Fujian and Zhejiang would be appointed. Depei will interrogate strictly. After the case is closed, it will be adjusted according to the situation. This seems to be safer." Naqin knew that Depei and Lu Zhuo were very close friends, but Fu Heng's words were impeccable and irrefutable, and his Adam's apple moved After a while, there was no sound. "Okay, follow Fu Heng's suggestion." Qianlong seemed to be a little more cheerful, and sat cross-legged on the kang, pulled Liu Wulong's memorial, and wrote with a Chinese ink pen: This memorial is Qing's impartial inspection.I treat my ministers with sincerity, but I don't expect that there are still such ministers.Yi Sheng is ashamed and indignant that my sincerity can't influence everyone's ears!The former Sahalang and Kaerqin affairs are known to the Secretary.Depei ——Writing here, he paused, and added the name of the vice-captain Wangzal: And Wang Zale, the vice capital of Fujian and Zhejiang, will be tried together with Qiao.If it is true, it is only law enforcement.I know that you will not attach this memorial to the crime of invading others, and you will not condone adultery and violate morals and reputation.Qing Qienzhi, if there is more evidence, one side will play the news, and the other side will be strict. After finishing writing, he turned over another note and handed it to Neqin who was sitting next to him, saying, "Look, this is a letter from Lu Zhuo to Yang Zhenjing." Neqin knew that this was the evidence that Liu Wulong had newly caught.When I read it, it read: Brother Jingwu, the bank note brought by the trustee has been received.The case of Wang Shaozu has been concluded, and there is no disagreement with the judgment of the people concerned, and I have no doubts that they all mediate well.But this kind of silver collection is quite like receiving benefits after the fact, and I feel uneasy.Tell Wang Shaozu that he is right and has won the case!This silver is temporarily borrowed for me, Keer.He often communicated with Lu Zhuo by letter, and judging from the handwriting, it was indeed his cursive script.While passing the letter to Fu Heng, Neqin thought to himself: "Is it easy to write a letter for this kind of thing? Lu Zhuo is so smart, so he is a fool in this matter! Fu Heng also knew it at a glance. With a wry smile, he returned the letter to Qianlong with both hands, and said : "The letter stated that it was a 'borrow'. If Wang received an IOU, even though Lu was guilty of 'shouldn't', it is different from accepting bribes after all. Please learn from my master! " "Naturally." Qianlong glued the letter to the memorial, closed it, and sighed: "Money, what a good thing! During the time of the Grandfather, officials borrowed money from the state treasury by the tens of thousands, and dug up the vassal treasury to be empty. In order to clear the debts and repay the treasury silver, the late emperor and the thirteenth uncle died several times, and they all had trouble with the emperor's uncles. In my hands, both leniency and strictness are just a little bit, and I dare not borrow from the treasury. Turn your head and reach out to the common people! Not to mention Gao Shiqi and Mingzhu in front of the Holy Grandpa, I am familiar with Yu Hongtu in front of the late Emperor. He is such a shrewd and capable person, and he is Saha Forgiveness and Ka Erqin are not stupid—one by one fell into it!" He shook his head in annoyance, as if he had a bitter Coptis pill in his mouth, and asked after a long while: "You also love money. What? Will you learn from these people in the future? What can you do to cure this disease of 'money tuberculosis'?" Seeing that Qianlong was so angry and emotional, Naqin hurriedly knelt down and said: "I have read "Book of Jin·Shi Chong Biography", and when I gather a lot of goods, it will be a disaster. I dare not love money, and I always warn my children not to love money. I swear to my master that I will never be a person who is greedy for money. But the flow of money poisons people's hearts. It is not a bad thing to take it according to the way and use it according to the law. Therefore, the sages can't help but cast money since the Zhou Dynasty. That is to say, today, the country's money is ten times that of the Shunzhi period, five times that of the Kangxi period, and twice that of the first emperor Yongzheng. It is still not enough. Southeast silk weaving workshops and porcelain workshops have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. The exchange of goods in the mainland, overseas tea trade, and people's livelihood all use money. Therefore, the more prosperous the world, the smoother the flow of coins No stagnation, the power of money is greater than ten times! As for slaves, they have their own salary to support their families, teach their children, and be filial to their elders. They have been rewarded by the emperor many times. One thread at a time, not only is he a greedy minister who betrays the emperor, even the gods of heaven and earth cannot accept his ministers!" Before he finished speaking, Neqin regretted: Why can't I think of such a good answer? "It's all very well said." Qianlong said with a smile: "It sounds like Fu Heng is more thorough. Last time, some missionaries from England, Italy, and Russia wanted to see me. The Ministry of Rites set up the etiquette for them to meet. They were willing to kneel down and worship. Later when they arrived in Nanjing, Yin Jishan met them and asked the master of Yamenli to accompany them to Suzhou and Hangzhou for a tour, saw the silk and tea workshops there, and saw some medium-sized Jingdezhen porcelain shops. Back in Nanjing, when I saw Yin Jishan, I knelt down and kowtowed - saying that we are ten times richer than their country! He also said that he was willing to go back to Beijing to kowtow to me again, and asked to build a church in the mainland to preach. I issued an order to Yin Jishan , laughed and said that you are more face than me. Yin Jishan replied that the foreign devils are snobs. Seeing that our country is strong, the people are rich, and everything is ready, they want to trade with me. If they want me, they have to bow down Be small. Foreigners are skilled and promiscuous, desperately repairing railways and building machines. What is the use of them? I think that apart from clocks and watches, everything else is very rare. Our celestial dynasty has everything, let alone relying on others, relying on nothing more than a wealthy country Strong, of course there is money in it.” After saying that, he laughed. Fu Heng took a peek at the chiming bell at the corner of the hall. It was almost the beginning of the Xu Dynasty, and it was estimated that Zhang Tingyu and Ershan would come to see him soon.After finally meeting the conversation, he hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Master, the servants will see you at night, and there are important matters to be announced!" Naqin also kowtowed and said, "The matter is very important. The servants have sent someone to invite Zhang Tingyu, Ertai will meet with you. It is estimated that the meeting will be here soon." "Really?" Qianlong was having a good time talking, following the idea of ​​"Qian", he wanted to have a deep discussion about the administration of officials with the two auxiliary officials. Hearing what they said solemnly, he thought about it, and said, "Is something wrong with the Jinchuan military?" Nah Said personally: "It's not the front line, it's something wrong with the military pay—" He knelt down on the ground, and handed over the 800-mile memorial from Handan with his hands high.Just at this time, Wang Li, the eunuch outside, bowed his head and stepped in, holding a 800-mile memorial in both hands, and said: "This is the secret letter that Gao Heng just handed in. Zhang Jing of the Military Aircraft Department said that the two military ministers are both In front of the emperor, ask the slaves to submit it directly to Yulan. Ertai and Zhang Tingyu have also come in, and now outside the Chonghua Gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, waiting for an order, should they be called in or not?" Qianlong was stunned, and he took a copy of the 800-mile speeding up memorial, all from Handan, so he knew something had happened to Gao Heng.It took a long time before he came back to his senses, opened Gao Heng's notebook, spread out the memorial of the prefect of Handan on the case, and said: "They are old and sick, ask Little Sula Eunuch to help them in." I buried my head in the booklet.For a while, Zhang Tingyu and Ertai were each supported by two young Sula eunuchs.Zhang Tingyu's complexion was fine, with white hair and a childlike face, but his face was tired, while Ertai's face was pale and weak, his legs seemed to be unsteady, and he was panting slightly.The two of them did not salute, but Qianlong had already waved his hands, keeping his eyes on the memorial, and said, "Excuse me, give me a seat. I will speak after reading the memorial." "yes!" Zhang E and Zhang E bowed and bowed, sitting tremblingly on the carved porcelain pier.The four ministers of military affairs were all very deep figures, and they were all meditating at this moment, staring at Qianlong who was concentrating on reading the scriptures from time to time, the hall was so quiet that there was only the monotonous sound of the ringing pendulum.For a while, Qianlong sighed softly and put aside the memorial, but asked, "Ertai, you are still panting. Have you used the medicine I gave you?" "Go back to the emperor!" Ertai took a deep breath, cleared his throat and said, "I got this dog-horse disease when I was serving as the governor of Uliasutai. Thanks to the blessing of the emperor, I used the Chuanjian shellfish bestowed by the emperor, and it is much better." Qianlong said to Zhang Tingyu again: "The old Xiangguo looks good." Zhang Tingyu coughed lightly and replied: "This is all given by the emperor. The slave used to sleep restlessly, with heart palpitations and dizziness. Firstly, the emperor had a decree: ignore trivial matters and take care of them at home. Secondly, he gave medicine from time to time. After taking it, the effect was like a miracle, so he was still mentally fine." He paused, He said again: "I beg the emperor to give me some Suhexiang wine. The slaves make it according to the recipe, but I always feel that it is far less effective than the emperor's." Fu Heng and Neqin thought that Qianlong would be shocked and furious after reading the memorial, and waited for him to be furious. They were startled when they heard Qianlong's kind words and warm words to Zhang E and Zhang E.But Qianlong laughed and said: "It's not worth anything. Tomorrow, I will ask someone to deliver some. Ask the people from the imperial pharmacy to come to your small pharmacy to teach you how to do it." Xi, half smiling but not smiling, paced slowly in the hall.After a long time, he sighed and said: "It seems that my virtue and ability are far inferior to the holy ancestor and Shizong Ye!" The four ministers looked at each other, not knowing what he meant. "The holy ancestor was full of worries and chaos, and the surroundings were restless; the late emperor also raised troops to quell the chaos in Qinghai, Yungui." Qianlong panted, his face became extremely pale: "Ping San Francisco, conquer Taiwan, and personally conquer Zhungeer three times, That is to support the war with all the strength of the country; Nian Gengyao and Yue Zhongqi raised 200,000 troops, and the six provinces in the south of the Yangtze River transported the salaries by boat, car, water and land-how did it not happen that the emperor’s waist was cut off? I secretly transported the military salaries so that the northerners would not be affected. The common people were disturbed by the rise of the army, so unexpectedly, they presented a 'flower' with both hands!" This is really an even more embarrassing reproach than a dog-blood sprayer yelling at him. The reproach is calm and vicious with sarcasm, and every sentence is like a knife to gouge out a person's heart. The four ministers blushed and couldn't sit still any longer. "Papa" hit the horseshoe sleeve and knelt down on the ground, not daring to speak.
