Feng Yanlu was a little unhappy in his heart, who are these people sitting at the same table? Yang Zhao and Li Jingyao also gave up, and the rest, Zhang Yanqing, was the master who was convicted and dismissed.

Zhao Pu, a descendant of the northern country? Did I hear me right?

Chen Zhiyong, a remnant of the Fujian State, was born in the state of the Quanzhang Rebellion.

The toast is even more funny, not only the remnants of the Fujian Kingdom, but also a small capital in the East China Sea Gongqin Army, and unlike the hundreds of people in the forbidden army, this Lin Renzhao is only a small capital head of ten people.

Why did they all change their bodies and become dragons and phoenixes?

This small capital head wants to become a military town training envoy, and be in charge of the training of all the state and county officials in the town?

Can he do it?

Donghai Gong, this is not cronyism, it's just nonsense, I really don't know, how could the Privy Council and the Holy Son of Heaven approve these bits and pieces that he protected?

Although before coming to the East China Sea, not only did his brother say that he had already had a plan, even if he couldn't do Luan Feng and Ming, he would have to be at peace, but at this moment, looking at these officials on the table, he really couldn't sit still.

In addition, after drinking a few more glasses, Lin Renzhao came to toast, and he said, "Little Dutou, you also deserve to have wine with me?!" Blurted out.

When Lin Renzhao heard Feng Yanlu's words, he immediately blushed, and then anger rose on his face.

"Come on, come on, Huzi, I'll accompany you with this glass of wine, Feng Dujian can't drink enough, so let's get rid of it!" Lu Ning smiled and raised his glass.

Lin Renzhao glared at Feng Yanlu angrily, turned around and bowed, "Thank you!" "Now they are all important members of the military town, Zhao Pu, Chen Zhiyong, and Lin Renzhao, who were born in the county government, also called Lu Ning the subordinate.

Lin Renzhao raised his neck and dried up a glass of wine, and said: "The first to give wine, the subordinates to make three glasses in a row!" He drank three glasses of wine in one go, and then sat back down.

Feng Yanlu knew that there was something wrong with his words, so he didn't say anything.

After the banquet was dismissed, Feng Yanlu came to Lu Ning's side and said with a smile: "Duke of Donghai, His Royal Highness King Yan asked me to bring a message, when will the gunpowder be sent to him?" ”

Feng Yanlu didn't know the specific situation, but just received a letter from King Yan before leaving from Jinling to help King Yan carry a message.

Lu Ning smiled: "Don't worry, in just a few days, I will transfer some from the firecracker field." ”

Li Hongyi, the king of Yan, is indeed a person, obviously he does not believe in luck very much, but carefully probed the situation of his battle with the king of Jinjiang in Quanzhang Erzhou, and knew that he had gunpowder to help, and he went to Jinling to face the saint, and before leaving for the East China Sea, he saw his messenger, and there was a letter from him in his own handwriting, asking for gunpowder and formula, saying that it was to be used to fight the Wu army.

Lu Ning prepared a formula and some gunpowder for him.

Of course, used as a recipe for firecrackers, the ratio of the three main raw materials is not small, and there is a mess of additives, the sound is sure to sound, as for how Yan Wang uses, it's none of his business, it's really not good, so he sent him a few old ways of "discovering the original prescription".

Seeing Lu Ning's promise, Feng Yanlu was relieved, although he didn't know what gunpowder was, but King Yan seemed to attach great importance to it in his letter, although he was only a little bit of a message, but it was always good to be able to promote this matter.

"Donghai Gong, when will you go to Haizhou to govern the army?" Feng Yanlu asked with a smile again.

In the military towns of this dynasty, except for the Qingyuan Army in Quanzhang's self-reliant state, there were no real town soldiers, and the commanders of each military town were the state soldiers and county soldiers within their jurisdiction.

In addition, there are regimental training township soldiers, which are called unity soldiers in the old name of the previous dynasty, that is, peasant households who are recruited and trained during the agricultural slack period, and return to the peasants when the farming is busy.

At present, the Jing Navy has 1,000 standing troops in Haizhou, 2,000 in Chuzhou, and about 5,000 regimental training personnel in all counties and townships.

Listening to Feng Yanlu urging him to go to Haizhou, Lu Ning patted his head, "I was tired all the way, I was infected with the wind and cold, and before I raised the disease, every seven days, I reluctantly went to Haizhou once, and I couldn't waste government affairs, so I fought this body and served the Son of Heaven to the death!" "In seven days, one day is enough to deal with Haizhou's political and military affairs, unless there is something wrong with the bureaucratic officer machine operating below.

Feng Yanlu looked at him speechlessly, as if among the ten major crimes of the impeachment of the Duke of the East China Sea, there is an article of "pseudo-illness and neglect of government, so that subordinates follow suit", saying that the Duke of the East China Sea took the lead, led the officials of the government, and pretended to be sick and did not go to the government, "Brother Nu Li Mao, it is not too late!" "Stay in effect, this is directly scolding Donghai Gong into Li Linfu, Li Yifu and the like.

Now it seems that this impeachment is only afraid, but I am afraid that it is true......

However, Feng Yanlu also slandered in his stomach, and smiled on his face: "Okay, Donghai Gong cultivates well, and I hope to recover soon!" ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly.

……

In the evening, in the warm pavilion of the North Garden of the Juxian Pavilion, Lu Ning summoned Wang Jin and several other big shopkeepers.

These big shopkeepers are more like Lu Ning's trading groups, buying goods from all over the world to the East China Sea, mainly trading with Hu merchants.

Of course, Lu Ning's drunken meaning, these businessmen, also have the intention of collecting intelligence, of course, from the perspective of the businessmen, these information are used by merchants, such as local prices, mountains and rivers, and even the character of those officials in various state capitals, what is the discipline of soldiers and soldiers, etc., where are thieves? Where is more peaceful? And so on and so forth.

are all closely related to businessmen, but in Lu Ning's eyes, aren't these important information?

met with several big shopkeepers, and finally, Lu Ning called You Laosan again and asked about debt collection everywhere.

Eating with You Wuniang and You Laosan, I didn't say this, I just chatted about homely things.

You Laosan is now angry in the outside world, raising dozens of helpers, not only to help the master collect debts, but also to become the East China Sea's bag to inquire, like a secret agent, now, listen to the master's words, this bag of inquiries will spread to the whole territory of Haizhou and Chuzhou.

There are many things to inquire about, just as in the past in the East China Sea, the criminal lawsuits and unjust cases are not mentioned, but the main thing is to find out whether there are landlords, merchants, and artisan households who conceal land and income, etc., for example, there is a salt store, and the expenses for the hired workers are underreported, so that the hired workers can pay less taxes, but the actual salary given by the salt store to the hired workers is lower than that of other commercial banks in the same industry, which means that the merchants and employees can benefit from it, and it is the East China Sea treasury that bears the losses.

This salt store was immediately heavily fined.

You Laosan felt that the only fly in the ointment was that he was just inquiring about it, and he didn't have the slightest authority to arrest and take people, and everything had to wait for the investigation of the 12 divisions of the government, and then be handled by the relevant divisions of the 12 divisions.

If you give yourself the power to arrest people and take people, you are afraid that the entire East China Sea, except for the master, will be the most majestic.

Listening to Lu Ning ask about debt collection, You Laosan himself felt bored, that Haizhou judicial army Wang Ji and Shuyang County Ling Cui Heng, are now both officials under the master's rule, since the news of the master's leader Jing Navy Jiedu envoy reached Haizhou, Wang Ji and Cui Heng are like happy dead, originally the master went to the extreme south, these two still have some side thoughts, to themselves, not as polite as before, but don't want to, just a few months, came the good news that the master added an official to the knighthood, and for the two of them, it is absolute bad news, since then, The two of them have become like walking corpses, and it is the time of the New Year, and both of them obediently hand it over, and they both feel that it is not interesting to collect debts.

"The debts of officials, let's stop first, don't go every once in a while, look at every year, they can come up with as much as they want, you still have to do a good job of inquiring about it." Lu Ning held the teacup and said casually.

"Yes, little one understands!" You Laosan understands that now the identity of the master is different, so naturally he must pay attention to some influences.

Moreover, Wang Ji, Cui Heng and the like, that little bit of money, in front of the master, has long been insignificant.

Let's just say that the master came back from Jinling, and the rare treasures he brought with him seemed to be able to sell for 100,000 yuan, and I don't know who won.

"Oh, in a few days, King Boryeong is going to come to the East China Sea from Jinling to play, and in the recent past, your eyes are rubbing the bright spots, don't let the East China Sea cause any trouble."

"Yes, yes, I haven't been sleeping for the past few days, and I've been working tirelessly to find out the news for my master!"

Lu Ning smiled and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Seeing that Lu Ning stopped talking and stood for a while, You Laosan bowed down and slowly retreated out.
