Brothers, seeing the collection and flowers you sent is the happiest thing for Yun Ming after ten hours of coding words every day! ）

Ten years later, according to the original steps, Tang Mian, the prefect of Quanzhou Prefecture, was ready to be officially promoted to the court the next day to try the crimes committed by Za Kecha during his tenure as the commander, and the county lord of Xianglan'er would listen behind the screen in the lobby.

At this time, there was a sudden news that Za Ke had died of a violent illness, which caught Xiang Lan'er off guard.

Za Kecha is the bane of the chaos in Quanzhou Prefecture, and he is also the central figure in the relationship between Fufu and Zhejiang provinces and the prime minister of Totok, and his death will not have time to be tried publicly, and some clues will also be broken.

Xiang Lan'er immediately ordered Zhao Qing to go to Za Kecha's mansion to examine the body, and instructed: "Zhao Qing, this time I went to check the body, and hung Za Kecha's head on the city tower for ten days!" Za Ke sent all the men in the family to the army and sent them to the Western Regions, and if the female dependents were filled into official prostitutes, it would be too strict, and all of them were sent to the official silk workshop to work to atone for their sins! ”

As Xiang Lan'er, who is carrying the secret decree of Emperor Yuan Hui, she can be regarded as an open side of the net this time, if the sentence is pronounced according to the crimes listed on the certificate received by the government, the whole family of Za Kecha will definitely be beheaded, and his Lao Tzu, that is, the Zuodu Guard Overseer Herin Zatwang, who is in cahoots with the Prime Minister of Tokto, will also be implicated.

It's just that at this time, it has not yet come to completely tear his face with Tokh, and most of the female dependents of Zakecha's family are women who have been captured by Zakecha in various places, and the effect that Xianglan'er, as the county lord, wants to achieve is to lose grace and power, gain the respect of the people in Quanzhou, and make all officials obey the decree, so that Xianglan'er can temporarily let go of some officials, and Xianglan'er is also an expedient measure.

"Yes! Princess. Zhao Qing bowed to Xiang Lan'er and walked out of the hall.

These days, Zhao Qing can be regarded as righteous, the management of a town barracks is naturally different from the management of all the garrisons under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Mansion, the same is a thousand households, Za Kecha manages nearly 10,000 soldiers and landlords in the area of Quanzhou Mansion, and Zhao Qing is only a small thousand households responsible for guarding the checkpoint of Longwang Town.

Now Zhao Qing, every day in the school field constantly practice the soldiers and horses left by Za Kecha, although these soldiers are super strong in combat, but the battle formation is obviously lacking a lot, and Zhao Qing also sent 500 soldiers to assist Quanzhou prefect Tang Mian to arrest some people in the city who although their positions are not high, but they have been very close to them during Za Kecha's tenure.

The Zhao family's business, which was supported by Za Kecha, was immediately announced by the city of Lu Yuanzhi, the lord of the city, to seal all the property, and Zhao Bingjun, the head of the Zhao family's business, was also detained in prison by the prefect Tang Mian for involving a large amount of bribery to Za Kecha, and everything went smoothly.

Looking at Zhao Qing leaving, Xiang Lan'er slowly got up from her seat, at this time she was in the center of Quanzhou Fuqing County Wangfu Mansion, this palace was originally a hereditary fief Fuqing County Wang's Mansion, ten years ago the last county king died childless was recycled by the government, idle so far, officials at all levels have not entered here, because of the etiquette system and dare not enter.

But as an official property, there are still many servants who clean and repair on time, and Xianglan'er's identity is just suitable for entering here, so before coming here, Emperor Hui gave this house to Xianglan'er to live in.

The Great Earth King's Mansion was extremely lively at this time, but Xiang Lan'er's mood was a little restless.

The room she was in was the original meeting hall of the five mansions in the front yard, and the tables and chairs in the hall were all left over from the Southern Song Dynasty.

"Master! I don't know how the things decided by the Northern Alliance are going? Emperor Yuan allowed me to come here to manage the Quanzhou area, what is your opinion on what I have done this time? She actually spoke into the screen.

At this time, there was no one else in the hall, a middle-aged man in a light gray Confucian shirt slowly walked out from behind the screen, a serious ground face, his eyes flashed with a goblin that made people dare not look directly, this person looked at Xiang Lan'er and said: "Lan'er, you are a talented person who has been carefully cultivated for your teacher over the years, and I hope you can realize your grandfather Shi Cheng's unfulfilled wish for many years!" ”

"Lan'er, you're doing a good job so far! As long as we can successfully control the commerce around Quanzhou, the hundreds of thousands of troops in the secret support areas of our four provinces in the north will have sufficient supplies of military salaries, which will need to be transported to the north within a few years, and various materials such as grain and grass will also be accumulated one after another. ”

"The most unsuccessful move of the detachment was recommended by me a year ago to let this only know how to rob the land Za Kecha come here as a commander, and now Za Kecha has escaped from Quanzhou Mansion by fraud, I didn't expect you to enter the city in a small way, almost died in the hands of his soldiers, this time the near death and survival, actually made Quanzhou fall into our hands so quickly, which is actually beyond my expectations!"

Speaking of this, the serious expression on the middle-aged Confucian student's face gradually receded, and instead there was a hint of melancholy.

Seeing the expression on the master's face, Xiang Lan'er couldn't help but be a little surprised, and couldn't help asking, "Master, that Za Kecha actually escaped from Quanzhou by cheating?" Why are you doing this? ”

"Lan'er, you have been extremely smart since you were a child, and you are speculating about what will happen after Naza Kecha returns to Dadu to meet the Zuoduwei Overseer?" The middle-aged Confucian asked with a faint smile flashing in his eyes.

"Ahh I understand what the master means, killing three birds with one stone! Xiang Lan'er nodded knowingly and said, with a happy smile on her face, obviously she had understood the meaning of the middle-aged Confucian words.

Xiang Lan'er is the descendant of Shi Tianze's right prime minister in the early Yuan Dynasty, wasn't she accepted as a righteous daughter by Emperor Yuan Huimin and named the county lord? Why did she call Emperor Yuan Hui Emperor Emperor Yuan, this kind of title obviously has a heart of disobedience. And who is the identity of this middle-aged Confucian student? And what kind of power is the Northern Alliance?

Riding back to the city in the carriage of the Lu family's business, Shang Yu and Shang Mei sent Xiao Si, who was wearing filial piety clothes, back to his small room behind the inn, and after comforting him for a long time, after Xiao Si's mood stabilized a little, the mother and son left one after another.

After returning to the first suite on the side of their mother and son, Shang Yu said to his mother: "Mother! Tomorrow I will go to the warehouse south of the firm to do a junior apprenticeship, thanks to Mr. Lu, he can allow you to be responsible for cleaning this light work in the warehouse, I am just a little worried about the little fourth brother ......"

"This little four didn't have a father last year, and this year there is no mother! This kid is really pitiful, Xiao Yu! When my mother came back from the village, an idea arose in my heart, why don't you marry Xiaosi as brothers with different surnames and let him be the righteous son of Niangdi, so that this child will not be too lonely, do you think? Shang Meishi was also very worried about Xiao Si, the child he grew up with, and immediately said.

"Mother! This is a very good idea, although the villagers died tragically! But the head of the Naza Kecha is currently hanging on the city gate, the county lord finally avenged them, and the county lord also gave us some silver taels to rebury the villagers, and after I came back today, I was thinking about how to enlighten the little fourth brother! You've got a good idea, and I'll go find him at once!" Shang Yu was about to go out after hearing this.

Shang Meishi immediately grabbed Shang Yu and said with some displeasure: "Look at your child, we just sent him back to the room, and now it's only time, there is still an hour before the evening dinner time, during this time, you take some silver taels, go to the street to buy some good food, and call Xiao Si This child to our room for dinner, let Xiao Si rest in the room for a while, he is better alone than someone to accompany him at this time." As he spoke, tears fell from his face again, and he took out a money bag containing dozens of copper coins from his arms and handed it to Shang Yu.

After hearing this, Shang Yu immediately replied, "I know, mother!" After listening to Shang Mei's words, he understood that Xiao Si needed to be alone for a while, so he took the money bags and nodded, and walked out.

After Shang Mei watched Shang Yu go out, he sat down on the seat backwards as if he had lost all his strength.

"Husband! When will you be back? Fortunately, our mother and son did not die at the hands of Yuan Gou on that day, otherwise how would I have the face to meet the ancestors of the merchants! Xiao Yu insisted on going to the warehouse as an apprentice, and I would go to Mr. Lu in a few days to ask him to enter the Lu family mansion as a maid, and I must not let the merchant generation fall into danger again. ”

"Xiao Yu also inadvertently saved two Red Turban Army, I just ask you to return from the Western Regions safely and smoothly, and take our mother and son to the area under the jurisdiction of the Righteous Army, where is the safe place!" Her tears kept dripping, but she didn't wipe them, letting them fall on the placket of her clothes, forming wet marks that gradually expanded.

Shang Yu walked on the street, holding the money bag in his hand and feeling a little excited, although he experienced the funeral of more than a dozen villagers in the morning, he was a teenager after all.

"There's still an hour before dinner, and I've never been to Thornton Harbor since I was a kid to see the sails there, but this time I'm going to see for myself how spectacular the sails can carry thousands of people! After reading it, it's not too late to go to the market to buy food! Shang Yu made up his mind to see what the sails of the official ship that his father had said more than once looked like.

"Since I was a child, I heard my father say that during the Shizu years, he had sent a large army at sea several times to cross the ocean to pacify the Japanese country, but each time he failed because of the huge wind and waves, and then he no longer sent a large army to expedition, but the style of the warship at that time was later changed to the sail of the ports of the Central Plains, and became the sail of the trade with overseas states, and I must really see it today!" Curiosity is human nature, and Shang Yu is even more curious.

After walking for three pillars of incense, Shang Yu finally stepped out of the city and came to the outside of Thornton Harbor, and the noisy sound and the scene of tens of thousands of people gathering immediately shocked him on the spot.

The tens of thousands of feet long port floor is paved with neat bluestone, and its texture and exquisite construction are actually several percent better than the streets in Quanzhou City.

Thousands of horse-drawn carriages, dragged by four horses, moved slowly from the center of the port to both sides in order from north to south, apparently preparing for the delivery of goods.

Hundreds of ships of various sizes were moored at the edge of the harbor, the smallest being nearly 100 feet long and about 30 feet high, and the largest was dozens, all of them leaning against the dock in the middle of the harbor.

The whole port area is too big, Shang Yu only felt that he couldn't see the edge at a glance, his position was at the higher part of the port, and as far as the eye could see, the dozens of large ships about hundreds of feet long and nearly 100 feet high had huge five-clawed golden dragon patterns on their sails, and they also wore Mongolian and Chinese characters, which were the symbols of Dayuandi.

A feeling of dizziness appeared in front of Shang Yu's eyes, and he couldn't help but murmur, "This is my sail towards the ground?" The ship is big enough, but this kind of stressed structure can't withstand the invasion of big waves at all! ”

After saying this, Shang Yu couldn't help but be stunned, this was the first time he had seen Dafan, why did he make such an exclamation, he couldn't help but fall into contemplation.

The sound of trumpets and waves in the harbor still rang in Shang Yu's ears, but he just stood still.

After a long time, Shang Yu came back to his senses, with an excited expression on his face, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "It turns out that the knowledge left to me by the master has only been recalled by me, it seems that I should really find an opportunity to think about the knowledge left to me by the master carefully, it turns out that those knowledge will be so useful, no wonder the master said that it is some incomplete knowledge!" If I could use a small part of it, I wouldn't have to make my mother and me suffer to work! ”

Speaking of which, Shang Yu seemed to have suddenly matured a lot at this moment......
