Chapter 673

Chapter 673

To be honest, Shen Yi himself doesn't have a precise grasp of how far Fujian's officialdom should be rectified.

But he knew in his heart that there was a limit to everything.

It’s too late.

And to put it bluntly, in Chen Guo, as long as there are yamen, few yamen can be as clean as water, and it can even be said that no yamen can be as clean as water.

There is a saying that is very good.

This world is neither black nor white, but a fine gray.

This gray color is a fusion of black and white, because politics...not even politics, almost everything is essentially a compromise.

Therefore, Shen Yi needs a few days to consider how to handle the scale of Fujian's officialdom.

The reason why the emperor asked people from the Sanfa Department to ask him was very simple.

The emperor needs a proper measure to ensure that Fujian's officialdom is not chaotic, and at the same time, Fujian's two city shipping departments can be successfully completed and operated.

And only Shen Yi can accurately measure the proportions, Cheng Tingzhi can't.

Because Cheng Tingzhi is too subjective and a bit extreme, if his thinking is followed, the entire Fujian officialdom will have to be changed, not to mention whether there are enough suitable candidates transferred from the Ministry of Officials to fill the vacancies, even if there are, Fujian may be chaotic some time ago.

After sending Yuan Tan away, Master Shen returned to his study room, holding a pen in his hand, writing and drawing on white paper.

He drew two circles.

One Fuzhou, one Quanzhou.

It is the prefecture of two Fujian provinces and the seat of two municipal ship divisions in Fujian.

After pondering for a while, Master Shen talked to himself.

"Regional matters are far more complicated than I thought before, and the commander of the Fujian capital..."

Shen Yi said slowly: "He was born in the Huaihe Navy..."

Thinking of this, Shen Yi shook his head and continued talking to himself.

"First of all, we must ensure that there will be no bad things from official figures in Fuzhou Prefecture and Quanzhou Prefecture..."

"The people in these two prefectures are obedient, and then the two municipal shipping departments can be successfully completed..."

"As for other places in Fujian, we can leave it to Cheng Mingli to take care of it slowly. After all this year's affairs are done well, he can continue to work in Fujian for a few more years."

The completion and smooth operation of Shibo are not the same thing.

After completion, Fuzhou's Maritime Department will be responsible for handling merchant ships on the Minjiang River, while Quanzhou's Maritime Department will be responsible for handling merchant ships on the Jinjiang River.

In order to run smoothly, it is only the beginning that the people in these two prefectures do not make trouble, and it needs the support of the whole Fujian province.

And the rest of the state capitals will be left to Cheng Tingzhi to take care of slowly.

Thinking of this, Shen Yi's grasp of the situation in Fujian is basically clear.

He put down the brush in his hand, crumbled the manuscript full of words, and threw it into the brazier in the room. At this moment, Jiang Sheng knocked on the door.

"My lord, it's almost noon."

Jiang Sheng lowered his head slightly and said, "The Ye family said that we will have dinner at Mingxianglou at noon today, please come over."

Shen Yi stood up, stretched a lot, and then said: "Got it."

After he yawned, he pushed open the door and said lightly, "There's no rush for this matter, it doesn't matter if they wait."

In terms of status, Master Shen is basically the most noble group of people in this era, at least compared with these Fuzhou gentry, I don't know how much higher.

It is not necessary for him to be on time for the appointment.

Let those people wait, maybe it will be easier to talk about things later.

After washing his face and asking Jiang Sheng to comb his hair briefly, Shen Yi changed into white clothes and walked out of the house.

After leaving the gate, the bright spring is coming, and Fuzhou is located in the south, so you can already feel the warmth.

Master Shen squinted his eyes, and after basking in the sun for a while, he said with a smile: "The weather is really nice. If it's not busy with business, you can go out for an outing in the city."

Jiang Sheng was taking care of the reins at the moment. Hearing this, he said with a smile: "Otherwise, I will go and make an appointment with Ms. Ye for the young master later, and let her accompany the young master to go out for a day of play tomorrow, so that the young master can have a good rest."

Shen Yi glanced at him, and said angrily: "I want you to be troublesome."

After saying this, Shen Yi got into the carriage, and after sitting in the carriage, he remembered something, and said, "By the way, about Miss Ye, no matter what you know or what you think in your heart, you will return to Jianzhou at the end of the year. After Kang, don't talk nonsense at home, let alone tell your wife, understand?"

Jiang Sheng didn't take this matter seriously. After all, it's normal for a scholar-official like his son to marry a concubine and go home. But when he heard Shen Yi's words, he shook the reins first, and then he was a little surprised : "Master, aren't you going to bring Miss Ye back to Jiankang?"

The carriage started slowly, and Shen Yi in the carriage shook his head lightly: "My family has a big business, why do you want to go back to Jiankang with me?"

Jiang Sheng's eyes widened, and he was very puzzled.

he was thinking.

If we don't bring Ms. Ye back to Jiankang, wouldn't it be a scandal if Ms. Ye becomes pregnant in the future?

Besides, if a child is born, wouldn't the blood of the Shen family be exiled in Fujian?

Although he was very puzzled in his heart, Jiang Sheng didn't dare to ask more questions, he just drove honestly, and soon parked the carriage at the downstairs of Mingxiang Building.

After stopping the carriage, Jiang Sheng turned around and opened the curtain, lowered his head slightly and said, "My lord, Miss Ye seems to be waiting for you at the door."

Only then did Shen Yi get out of the carriage, and looked up, only to see Miss Ye from the Ye family, also dressed in white, standing at the gate of Mingxiang Building. After seeing Shen Yi's carriage, Ye Chan immediately came up to meet her. Shen Yi smiled: "My lord, you are here."

The two haven't seen each other for a while.

Compared with the last time we met, Ye Chan was a little less cautious, and when facing Shen Yi, she became more generous.

Unlike the previous few times, looking at Shen Yi was full of fear.

Shen Yi nodded slightly at her.

"Miss Ye just sent someone to wait for me downstairs. You don't have to pick me up here in person."

"How about that?"

Ye Chan turned sideways slightly, and said in a low voice: "My lord, those who mean what they say are all upstairs, including my concubine, there are fifteen people in total, and two tables have been set up."

Shen Yi let out a "hmm" with a calm expression.

"Lead the way."

For the current Shen Yi, the real thrilling things always come from the court, or the Qiren Cleaning Department further north. As for other scenes, they rarely cause him any psychological fluctuations.

For example, in the face of these gentry who are already under the knife, Shen Yi can cope without any pressure at all.

Under the leadership of Ye Chan, he quickly went up to the second floor of Mingxiang Building. In a private room on the second floor, he saw these familiar faces.

Most of these people are the group of people who signed with him at the beginning.

Only a few, changed faces.

As soon as Shen Yi opened the door and walked in, Ye Chan behind him said in a crisp voice: "Everyone, the imperial envoy Shen Hanlin and Lord Shen have arrived!"

As soon as she finished saying this, everyone in the room stood up immediately, and everyone bowed to Shen Yi, and they all clasped their hands together and said, "My lord imperial envoy!"

Shen Yi glanced at the private room, and then at the two tables in the room.

The main seats of the two tables were all empty, obviously reserved for him to sit.

Master Shen sat down at the head of one of the tables, then yawned and said, "You are all familiar faces, there is no need to be polite, just sit down and talk."

Everyone thanked them together, and then carefully sat down in front of Shen Yi.

Master Shen glanced at these people, and felt a little flustered in his heart.

Here he is the biggest.

Moreover, the attitude of these people towards him is extremely respectful, almost the same as the attitude of courtiers towards the emperor.

This made him somewhat proud, but Shen Yi quickly calmed down and eliminated all these distracting thoughts one by one. Then he looked at the crowd and said, "Miss Ye has already told you all about the imperial court's treatment of you." ?”

Everyone lowered their heads and said, "Master, I've already said it."

Shen Yi gave a "hmm" and continued: "Then Shen will stop talking nonsense."

"According to what we agreed last year, you will spend [-]% of your property..."

Shen Yi paused, and continued: "Priority is given to land, shops, grain stores and business. As for real estate, you should keep it for your own use as much as possible."

After Shen Yi finished speaking, an old man about 60 years old stood up from his chair. He bent down to Shen Yi and said, "Master Imperial Envoy, but I don't know how to hand it over?"

"All the shops, businesses, and estates..."

Shen Yi lowered his eyebrows and said: "Temporarily hand over to the Ye family, who will take charge of the operation on behalf of the court, and all the income will be handed over to the court. How to pay the specific method, you guys go to discuss with the Ye family..."

"As for whether you will pay [-]%..."

Shen Yi knocked on the table with his hand, and said lightly: "This official is here to accept the report. If you find that other families have handed over less than [-]% of their family property, you can come to this official to report."

"Once the report is verified, the reporter can be exempted from punishment."

Speaking of this, Shen Yi glanced at the crowd, and continued: "The imperial court will give a little reward."

"The person who was reported, once verified..."

"Or it was found by the official that the family property was not paid in full."

Shen Yi's face turned cold: "Treat it according to the Feng and Tan families."

The Feng and Tan families are well-known wealthy families in Fuzhou, and they ended up beheading and ransacking their homes.

Although not all were killed, the survivors were also sentenced to exile.

Hearing Shen Yi's words, everyone present shuddered, and when they looked at the acquaintances around them, there was something wrong with their eyes.

This method is the "reporting order" used by Emperor Wu... Well, Liu Che once used it to make money...

The effect is outstanding.

These nobles stopped talking.

Finally, a young man in his twenties stood up. He looked at Shen Yi, took a deep breath and said, "My lord, Xiaomin and others are willing to pay the property, but..."

He asked: "Why is the Ye family running for the court?"

"I wait for each family, and I can also share the worries of the court...!"

Master Shen didn't even lift his eyelids, but just said something lightly.

"Because it's official."

He glanced at the young man with no expression on his face.

"Is that reason enough?"
