There is always a saying in Jiangnan that is gold, September and October.

Yan Maoqing took a boat south and spent more than half a month. By the time he arrived in Hangzhou, it was already October.

Although the scenery is not as good as in September, it is not bad.

Yan Maoqing was in a good mood and wrote an impromptu poem.

Although it is not as good as those great people, it is still quite neat.

His official position is the governor of Zhejiang. Although his main job is to inspect salt affairs, he still has to stay in Hangzhou City with this title.

After learning about the appointment, Zhejiang had already cleaned up the governor's office, and Yan Maoqing could go directly as soon as he entered the city.

Logically speaking, the first thing a new official does to take office should be to go through the handover procedures.

But Yan Maoqing's predecessor has been promoted to the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the position of governor of Zhejiang is vacant.

Therefore, the proud handover process became a visit to the upper peak with his tail between his tail, and Yan Maoqing felt very different.

But no matter how awkward the process is, we still have to go.

After Yan Maoqing settled down, he washed up and went to the Governor's Office to pay homage to Zhu Wan.

The Governor's Office and the Governor's Office are very close. Yan Maoqing doesn't even have to sit in a sedan chair, and can walk with just two legs.

Governor Zhu also gave Yan Maoqing face and directly ordered someone to take Yan Maoqing's flower hall to see the tea.

Zhu Wan didn't mean to leave Yan Maoqing alone, and then came to the flower hall.

When I came up to the peak, it was logical that Yan Maoqing should have performed a great gift.

However, Yan Maoqing relied on being Yan Song's godson and bowed to Zhu Wan.

Zhu Wan didn't care, and said with a smile: "Is Jingqing's journey going smoothly?"

Seeing that Zhu Wan was so polite, Yan Maoqing felt a little embarrassed.

"The blessing of the Lord of the Ministry is still going well. The lower-ranking official is responsible for the emperor's order and dare not delay at all."

Yan Maoqing's words seem to be high-sounding, but in fact they have deep meaning.

He was implying that although Zhu Wan was lower in grade than Zhu Wan, he was ordered by the emperor to be directly responsible to the emperor himself.

In this case, Zhu Wan must have a degree and not interfere too much in Yan Maoqing's freedom.

How could Zhu Wan not hear it?

He twisted his beard lightly and said, "Jingqing is in love. I am an official in Hangzhou with you. If you have any questions you don't know soon after you came here, you can ask me."

Zhu Wan's words seemed to be concerned about Yan Maoqing, but in fact they were criticizing Yan Maoqing. Don't forget your identity. The governor is the governor, and the governor is the governor.

Things that should be asked for instructions must not be spared, otherwise the rules will be broken.

Yan Maoqing is also a personal skill. He knows the elegance when he hears the string sound. He responds with a smile: "Thank you, Lord Master of the Ministry for your care."

Although the two only met, there was a confrontation between them.

In this confrontation, Zhu Wan was obviously occupying the top. Yan Maoqing wanted to use the emperor to suppress Zhu Wan, but failed to do so.

There are many old rules in the Ming Dynasty officialdom that must be followed, and Zhu Wan is awakening Yan Maoqing.

After the two of them greeted each other, Yan Maoqing took the initiative to say goodbye.

Zhu Wan didn't try to keep him, and watched Yan Maoqing leave.

As soon as Yan Maoqing left, Xu Yan walked out from behind the rockery.

"As expected, Yan Maoqing is a smiling tiger."

Zhu Wan sighed.

"Since Lord Budo has figured out his temper, it is much easier to deal with."

The most important thing to be in the Ming Dynasty is to be able to understand the thoughts of the subordinates of the Shangfeng Mountain.

Be smooth in your work and don't offend others.

Zhu Wan is a little lacking in this regard.

This requires Xu Yan to give more suggestions.

After all, Yan Maoqing is Yan Song's person. As long as he is not as good as a breakup, Xu Yan still doesn't want Zhu Wan to have a conflict with him.

Of course, Xu Yan and Zhu Wan both have bottom lines in this regard.

As long as they touch the bottom line, they will not be able to tolerate it.

"If Wansheng guessed correctly, Yan Maoqing came to touch Zhejiang's money bag."

There have been rumors that the court wants to increase taxes on Zhejiang.

Although there is no formal decree, the so-called wind will not cause waves. It is certain that Emperor Jiajing has this meaning.

Zhejiang already has extremely heavy taxes, so there must be a reason to increase taxes.

Judging from the positioning of Yan Maoqing by the court, the court placed the tax growth point on salt affairs.

This is also very reasonable.

After all, salt business is to monopolize huge profits, and you can squeeze out no matter how much you squeeze.

If Yan Maoqing only focuses on salt affairs and does not interfere in other matters, Xu Yan believes that there is no need to pay too much attention.

I am afraid that Yan Maoqing will use the name of the court to create a mess of tax names.

Emperor Jiajing likes to get money very much, and Emperor Wanli has inherited this.

As long as Yan Maoqing grasps this and makes a fuss, Zhu Wan is really hard to say.

The court and the local government actually have natural contradictions in taxation.

According to the official statement of the Ming Dynasty, local governments must pay full taxes to the court according to the proportion of the apportionment, so that the rest can be used for their own use.

But local officials are definitely unwilling to do things that others eat meat and drink soup by themselves.

So there was a fire consumption.

The so-called fire consumption refers to the loss of silver during the casting process.

Under normal circumstances, there will definitely be fire consumption, but the proportion will not be too large.

Later on, it became a legitimate excuse for local corruption.

Of course, Zhu Wan is not corrupt.

This means that he can only call the remaining taxes paid by the court.

In this case, the court will get one more point, and Zhu Wan will get one less point.

It can be predicted that if there is one, there will be two, Yan Maoqing's appetite will become bigger and bigger, and the conflict with Zhu Wan will become more and more obvious.

It's difficult!

Although Zhu Wan has already made a connection with Xu Jie through many relationships, Xu Jie has not made a clear statement.

This is normal. A scheming fox like Xu Jie will not take action easily.

In this case, confrontation with the ruthless party does require courage.

But Zhu Wan does need this money. The overall situation of Southeast Sea Defense is not yet determined. Raising soldiers requires money, and raising elite soldiers is even more costly.

The military pay paid by the court alone can do nothing.

"Let's see."

Zhu Wan was not sure about this, so she could only take one step at a time.

...

...

Yan Maoqing had just returned to the governor's office and someone asked for a meeting.

He couldn't help but be greatly surprised.

He has no old friends in Hangzhou.

After asking, I found out that it was from the Zhao family.

Zhao Wenhua and him have a good relationship, so Yan Maoqing naturally has to see him.

Yan Maoqing sighed and asked someone to bring the Zhao family in.

The person who came was Zhao Wenjie.

When he learned that his son was humiliated by Zhu Wan's men again, he could no longer bear it.

It is okay to humiliate him, but not to humiliate his son!

When he saw Yan Maoqing, he cried bitterly.

"Mr. Yan, please make the decision for my Zhao family!"

I have to say that Zhao Wenjie is very good at hugging his thighs.

Yan Maoqing and Zhao Wenhua are both members of the Yan Party, and they are both godsons of Yan Song, and their relationship is excellent.

Seeing this, Yan Maoqing quickly helped Zhao Wenjie up and said in a harmonious voice: "Speak slowly."
