Chapter 232： Lu Shanchang’s pain!

In the early morning, there were a lot of people at the south gate of the Forbidden City in Yingtian. After a day's rest, the spirits of many adults in the various ministries, the General Administration Department, the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial College became vigorous.

On the side of the yamen of the Ministry of Households, Ruan Jingnian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, arrived before dawn. Lord Shangshu’s performance was unusual. The officials at all levels from the top to the bottom were very nervous. The atmosphere has also become a little weird.

Among the six departments in the South, the Household Ministry is the most powerful department. It is in charge of the taxes, money and grains of several provinces. The Household Ministry Shangshu Ruan Jingnian is the chief official of his benevolence. Below Ruan Jingnian, the left minister Shen Jiong and the right minister Lu Shanchang are respectively.

Recently, there have been more frictions between Shen Jiong and Lu Shanchang in the household department, and the fighting has been more fierce. Ruan Jingnian, who is the Shangshu of the household department, supported Lu Shanchang in the past, but recently his attitude has become quite ambiguous, and it has caused the people of the household department. Frightened, the staff members and officials below don't know who to listen to.

Shanchang Lu came a little later today, and he went straight to Zhaomosi with a large armful of atlases. These atlases were the new fish scale albums just completed by the entire Yingtian Mansion. These fish scale atlases are the achievements that Lu Shanchang is proud of. .

The Southern Household Department re-edited the fish scale book and re-measured the land in the south of the Yangtze River. Re-determining the tax acres can not only reduce taxes for the people, but also increase taxes and silver for the country. This policy has been implemented since Yingtian, and it has been initially implemented. Effectively, Lu Shanchang has been devoting himself to this matter every day these days.

His idea is very simple. He wants to influence the entire Dakang with this political achievement, so that the emperor of the Jinluang Temple will re-recognize the entire Jiangnan Power Clan, thus bringing new outlets and opportunities to the Lu Family.

As far as he is concerned, he now has to determine his position in the household department, and it is best to go further, like Gu Tianyang, but also able to hold a bull's ear!

"Lu Shilang, have you heard of one thing?" Zhao Mosi, Shen Jiong was also there, and he said to Lu Shan Chang with a mouthful of a Beijing movie.

"What is Shi Lang Shen referring to? The next day is busy, and I really don't have the energy to search for all kinds of gossip. As an official, I share the worries for the court and the emperor. I don't dare to slack off a little!" Lu Shan said long and faintly.

Shen Jiong laughed and said, "Okay, Shilang Lu is really good-minded, but the court has doubts about the revision of the fish scales atlas.

This is a booklet. I am going to submit it with Master Shangshu. Shilang Lu can take a look and decide whether to join the name as well. "

Lu Shanchang was slightly stunned, and took the folds in Shen Jiong's hands. He scanned the contents of the folds with a glance, his face changed drastically.

He widened his eyes and said, "This...this...you are...upside down..."

"Master Lu said cautiously, this is Master Shang Shu's dilemma. In Master Lu's eyes, Master Shang Shu's opinion is a reversal of right and wrong?" Shen Jiong sneered.

"Master Shang Shu was bewitched by you!" Lu Shanchang dropped the fish scale book and walked quickly towards the room where Ruan Jingnian was.

Ruan Jingnian was approving the documents. He raised his eyes and glanced at Lu Shan for a long time, and said, "Shilang Lu, what's the matter? Is it so aggressive, has something difficult happened?"

"My lord, the re-approval of the fish scale books in the Jiangnan provinces is a major event. It has been more than a hundred years since Taizu. We are still using the old books. Time has changed, people have changed, land has changed, and some taxes have changed. The field is three acres, but because of the convenience of water conservancy, these fields are actually one acre tax land.

As a result, the country has suffered losses and the people have suffered injustices. We re-defined the scales to fill the national treasury, and then..."

"Okay, okay! Lord Lu, I have known your statement for a long time! But such a big matter has both advantages and disadvantages. A Yingtianfu's review and approval has caused so many incidents. The Jiangnan provinces have How old?

I said, Lord Lu, we are helping the emperor to solve problems. If you stabbed the basket and affected the tax collection, can you bear the responsibility?

Jiangnan is a taxing place, and our contribution to the national treasury in a year is almost half of the country's. Implementing the New Deal in such an important fiscal and taxing place is very risky. I will give the emperor a strong statement. What's the problem?

The emperor Shengming, big things cannot be decided by our ministers, but by the emperor himself! Is it possible that Master Lu still has any objections to this? "

Ruan Jingnian talked eloquently, Lu Shanchang was speechless when he said this, and at the same time he was very upset in his heart. Because before that, Ruan Jingnian's rhetoric was completely different.

This matter was initially done by Ruan Jingnian's encouragement, Lu Shanchang. In Ruan Jingnian's words, all the adults from the household department should help each other, shoulder the responsibilities of the country together, and solve problems for the court.

But now Ruan Jingnian's words have changed, and he should not be arrogant. However, if you need to ask the emperor for instructions on major matters, the emperor will decide.

Ruan Jingnian’s words left and right are justified. Lu Shanchang can’t refute it, let alone violate it. Who made the household department be in charge of Ruan Jingnian? It is not an exaggeration to say that without Ruan Jingnian's support, it would be difficult for Lu Shan to make long strides!

"Master Lu, this matter is still inconclusive for the time being, and you don't need to be too frustrated. There is no way out of doubt, and there are still opportunities for a bright future!" Ruan Jingnian comforted.

Lu Shanchang couldn't wait to scold his mother, his face became very ugly, he threw his sleeves back and returned to his house. Wang Zhuo, the member of the Zhili Division, came in quietly and said, "Master Lu, there is something you may not know!"

"What's the matter?" Lu Shan frowned and asked.

Wang Zhuo lowered his voice and said, "Yesterday in the Biyun Pavilion of the Qinhuai River, Ruan Shaolin, the youngest son of the Ruan family, had already become famous, but at the end of the day, the Biyun Pavilion Fan Duoduo girl sang another poem, which was called " "Linjiang Immortals. Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water", it is said that the author of this poem was named Lu Mingzheng. You think, my lord, the little son of the Ruan family is the heart and soul of Shangshu. What is the mood of Shangshu after suffering such embarrassment yesterday? "

"Huh?" Lu Shanchang's **** as if sitting on a spring, suddenly stood up, and said: "This...this... is ridiculous!"

Lu Shanchang said the words ridiculous, which he really felt ridiculous, because to Lu Zheng he had asked his family to keep an eye on him all the time, and he had to make a report every day. Hong Quan personally caught this matter.

This was a blessing. No one in the Lu family knew what happened after such a big event. It was only when an outsider told Lu Shanchang to understand the reason.

At this time, Lu Shanchang's mood was extremely complicated. On the one hand, he was very pleased, because Lu Zheng was about to become famous in Yingtian, and the Lu family was naturally happy to be the head of the Lu family.

On the other hand, he was lost, extremely lost. Politically and in his career, he was depressed. Ruan Jingnian stabbed him at this time, which really made him feel frustrated.

Ruan Jingnian, as the official of the household department, could not make such a decision just because of his temper. Ruan Shaolin's suppression by Lu Zheng was just an excuse or a fuse. The fundamental reason is that he has fallen into Shen Jiong in Ruan Jingnian's heart. Up.

Yes, Shen Jiong is young, and he is from the capital, and there is a backer like Dai Xiang behind him. Ruan Jingnian is a smart man. Even if he doesn't take the initiative to indulge Dai Gao, it is impossible for him to offend Dai Gao because of Lu Shanchang.

Thinking of this, Lu Shanchang couldn't help but shook his head and smiled bitterly. He stepped to the door, looked at the door outside, and said, "Come here, spread the paper and rub the ink!"

At this time, Wang Zhuo had already taken the words of "Linjiang Immortals. The Rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water" to Lu Shanchang. Lu Shanchang stared at the words for a long time, and suddenly he was angry with boundless pride in his heart and laughed:

"Okay, okay, so many things, ancient and modern, I'm talking about it in jokes!"

While talking, he walked to the front of several cases, took off his pen and swiped the wild grass: "The Yangtze River is rolling in the east, and the waves are all over the hero..."

Ruan Jingnian just came out of the house at that time. He was walking around inside and outside the yamen with his hands on his back, and he suddenly heard the long laughter from Lu Shanchang, and he heard the sentence "How many things in ancient and modern times are in the process of laughing and talking." , His expression stiffened involuntarily.

Then, he heard two principals whispering behind the shadow wall, and they murmured: "My buddy, do you know? Ruan Shangshu was irritated. His grandson was bullied yesterday on the Qinhuai River, so he learned to lose. With Lu Zheng from the Lu family, this Lu Zheng is the grandson of Shi Lang Lu, you know?"

"What? Didn't Ruan Shilang's grandson be a genius? Can he write at the age of three and poetry at the age of five? How could such a genius be inferior to the descendants of the Lu family? Brother Zhang, are you talking nonsense?"

"Hey, I’m talking nonsense? I’m telling you, this incident has spread throughout Jinling! Girl Fan Duoduo sang two poems in Biyun Pavilion yesterday. Both poems were made by Lu Zheng. Tsk, Hey, there is Lin'er in the Lu family, amazing!

Also, you said that Young Master Ruan is a genius, that was when he was a child. You have never heard that he is a young man. Isn’t that the sentence? Now that Young Master Ruan is no longer good enough, he has been beaten by Lu Zheng! "

When Ruan Jingnian heard this discussion, his face instantly became extremely ugly. He gritted his teeth and looked at Lu Shanchang's house again. He finally chose to go back.

Sitting in the chair of the master teacher, Ruan Jingnian felt as uncomfortable as a thorn on his buttocks. He suddenly felt that he was silly. He chose this opportunity to have a showdown with Lu Shanchang, and he was bound to leave something to say!

Ruan Jingnian's good reputation throughout his life has been stained today, and he really regrets it. He took a deep breath to calm himself down as quickly as possible.

After calming down, he thought about what happened yesterday. He had to admit that from last night to this morning, he was in a very uncomfortable mood. Ruan Shaolin suffered a setback and he was uncomfortable. In addition, the pride of the Ruan family was everywhere by Lu. The suppression by Lu Zheng at home made him feel very depressed.

In the depths of his heart, Ruan Jingnian has been comparing the Ruan family with the four Jiangnan families. Is the Ruan family really inferior to the Lu family in Jiangning? ?
