Zhou Qingli was dissatisfied with Zhou Zheng's answer and said, "Zhou Yanru is not clean. If he cannot escape unscathed, it may implicate many people."

Zhou Yanru was not a capable minister of the Qing Dynasty, but more of a villain. He had many followers and was corrupt. He had been the chief minister for three or four years. If he was imprisoned, it would really affect many people, including Zhou Zheng!

Zhou Zheng understood what Zhou Qingli meant, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, I'll find time to talk to him."

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng and said, "You find a reason to visit Yuanfu openly. You are now qualified."

Zhou Zheng was Governor Denglai. Although this governor was much worse than other governors, he was a governor after all, and he was qualified to knock on the gate of the Prime Minister's mansion.

Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "I'll go tomorrow."

Zhou Qingli looked at Zhou Zheng, and was a little reluctant to speak, and then said, "You can find time to visit Shangshu Zhang."

Secretary Zhang, Secretary Zhang Fengyi of the Ministry of War.

Zhou Zheng is now under the Ministry of War, so he has to visit him for both reason and reason. But Zhou Qingli's words obviously are more than that.

Zhou Zheng thought about it and said, "Did you think the Ministry of War will send me other important things?"

Zhou Qingli looked at the gate with a worried expression and said, "The government army seems to have won many victory, but the bandits are becoming more and more prosperous, and there are signs of blooming everywhere. The bandits in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, Sichuan, Huguang and other places are constantly gathering. They have also created a "Twenty-Eight Village Alliance". If they really join together, the total force may be as high as hundreds of thousands..."

Zhou Qingli obviously saw something, and there was no confidence and calmness that the adults of the imperial court had achieved through the continuous victory of the official army.

Zhou Zheng knew history well, took a breath and said, "Dad is right. The government army now seems to be full of momentum, with more victory than defeat, but if the internal affairs continue to be corrupt, pure suppression alone will not have a good result. It is still necessary to rest and rectify the internal affairs, stabilize the people, and cut off the source of the rioters."

Zhou Qingli was worried in his eyes and said, "When Bi Shangshu was here, he once discussed with me that if Liaodong was slow, he could start to rectify internal affairs, especially the land and tax issues. Now the situation is in chaos, and the party is the same to attack different people. Who can still rectify internal affairs and calm the people?"

Zhou Zheng had always had a plan in his mind, but he couldn't say it out loud. He thought about it again and again and said, "Dad, just wait and see."

Zhou Qingli glanced at him and said nothing.

At this moment, Uncle Fu walked over quietly, glanced at the father and son who were almost exactly lying on the rocking chair, holding a teacup and drinking tea, and said, "Second Young Master, a maid is asking for a visit."

Zhou Zheng was stunned, and then knew who it was, and stood up and said, "It should be Ma Shiying, I'll go see him, dad."

Zhou Qingli knew about this person and pointed out: "He has been in a very popular position recently. I heard that he has leaned on Master Wen's house."

Zhou Zheng didn't know about this, his eyes were slightly cold and he said, "I understand."

In the pavilion in the front yard of the Zhou family, before Zhou Zheng arrived, Ma Shiying hurried over and said anxiously: "Mr. Zhou, it's not good. The court wants to check salt classes."

Zhou Zheng sat down with a normal expression and said, "Can you not handle this little thing?"

Ma Shiying sat down with Zhou Zheng and said anxiously: "This matter is not that simple. The original salt was to be distributed to various provinces and the provinces paid the silver into the national treasury, but in fact it was not. Now the court said that each province had accumulated losses of 3.2 million yuan, and the salt department should be fully discharged, otherwise it would be dealt with severely."

Zhou Zheng heard it clearly, this should be a prolongation of Bi Ziyan's life.

"Why don't you go to find Master Wen? He is about to become the prime minister." Zhou Zheng said lightly.

Ma Shiying suddenly woke up, stood up quickly, smiled froze on her face and said, "Sir, don't get me wrong. I just visited Master Wen occasionally, not to join his disciples. I have always been following the Zhou family's leader. Please give me a clear look."

It was all Zhou Zheng who could do what Ma Shiying is today. Even if he relies on Wen Tiren now, he would not dare to disrespect Zhou Zheng, let alone turn against him.

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said lightly: "I will take you to see Yuan Fu tomorrow."

Ma Shiying suddenly felt his scalp numb and said, "Sir, I'm going to see Yuan Fu? Not so good..."

Ma Shiying just relied on Wen Tiren. If he went to meet Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren was about to succeed as the chief minister, what future could he have?

Zhou Zheng's tone became more and more indifferent, and he said, "I don't like Mr. Wen."

Ma Shiying was really awake this time and quickly raised her hand and said, "Everything depends on the arrangements of the lord."

Zhou Zheng is now the governor and is qualified to be called "Master".

Zhou Zheng snorted and then said, "The salt class matter is not that troublesome. If the court wants to pursue it, it has to pursue the provinces. Although you are the ex-profession, you still have done a lot of things. You can leave you alone with a little operation and don't be so panicked."

Ma Shiying felt a little calm and said with a stiff smile: "Yes. This is a small matter for adults."

Zhou Zheng arranged a lot of people in advance in the court, but not many people could really get promoted, and Ma Shiying was pretty good.

But it was not enough for him to make arrangements.

Zhou Zheng thought this in his heart and said lightly: "Go."

Ma Shiying quickly raised his hand and said, "Yes, the official will leave."

Zhou Zheng looked at his back, thought about it, got up and said a few words to Zhou Qingli, then left the mansion and walked towards the Ministry of War.

Ma Shiying left Zhou's mansion and sat in the sedan chair. His expression was still nervous, and it was difficult to relieve it. He was self-controlled.

Zhou Zheng is now more calm, calm and confident than ever before, and has the kind of superior demeanor and majesty that he did not have before.

Ma Shiying's eyes flashed and she was panicked.

Ma Shiying originally thought that the Zhou family had declined and that Zhou Zheng could not do anything about making some military achievements outside, but he never thought that Zhou Zheng had never relied on the Zhou family and had always relied on himself!

Ma Shiying had a bad premonition. If Zhou Zheng disliked him, he would probably be beaten back to his original form and no one could protect him!

"Make up! Make up, we must find a way to make up as soon as possible!"

Ma Shiying talked to herself in a hurry, and even sweat appeared on her forehead.

Zhou Zheng did not care about Ma Shiying's chess piece and went straight to the Ministry of War.

Zhang Fengyi looked at Zhou Zheng and said with a smile: "I came to see me as soon as I came back. What's the important thing?"

Zhang Fengyi is very optimistic about Zhou Zheng and is already working on cultivating him quietly.

Zhou Zheng did not be polite and raised his hand without being humble or arrogant, and said, "Sir, Denglai, Dongjiang Town is vast and sparsely populated, and the strategic location is important. The disaster in the northwest is serious and there are many chaotic people, so it cannot be resettled. Please place these people in Denglai."

Zhang Fengyi looked very pleased and greeted, "Sit down and say."

Zhou Zheng raised his hand and walked down beside Zhang Fengyi.

Zhang Fengyi took a sip of tea and said, "You said, I have communicated with Shaanxi, Shanxi Governor, and the Governor of the General Secretary, and Cao Wenzhao, they are all very happy and willing to cooperate. Especially Cao Wenzhao, he captured many rioters and had nowhere to settle them. Just as you made this request, he also wrote a letter to express his merits for you."
