"If there is really a case, he is so angry that he crawls out of the coffin, then he is killing himself." Wu Zheng said in a deep voice, "In a few days, I will go north by sea, it's time to go to Xingguo Gong, I can't let him be lazy and not work." Other than that...... I have to go and meet those who are not worried, I wonder how they are now? Now it's not as good as before, there was a paper agreement at that time, even if they were captured, the Qing court would not really kill them, but now that Duoduo was cut off by me, they ...... It's really hanging. ”

Song An's eyes lit up and said, "Young Master, I'll go with you, right?" ”

Wu Zheng shook his head and said, "You don't have to go, you have more important tasks." ”

"Huh?"

"Qian Qiaogong and Shen Zhiyuan are not there, and the training of musketeers in the military academy has stagnated by half, Fang Guoan is not good at this, and he needs capable people to ...... You led the musketeers to fight in Shaoxing Mansion this time, and you did command well, I want you to train the musketeers and expand a musketeer army of 10,000 people, what do you think? ”

Song An hesitated: "I think the young master should send someone else, I have to stay by the young master's side......." ”

Wu Zheng frowned and said: "You should know that this is a good opportunity, in the future, the musketeers will definitely become the absolute main force of our army except for the water division, and you will lay the foundation for you to move towards the ranks of famous generals in this growing army." Besides, the cost of those 200 foreign soldiers is too great, and it can save a lot of money by training them as soon as possible. ”

But Song An said: "I still want to stay around the young master, for me, the safety of the young master is the most important." ”

Wu Zheng was a little moved, but he still said with a calm face: "This is an order!" ”

Song An replied aggrievedly: "Oh." ”

After speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "Speaking of which, Fang Guoan went to the General's Mansion early in the morning to ask for a meeting, saying that Shen Zhiyuan took away three hundred musketeers and hundreds of muskets and ammunition without authorization, and he was guilty of this matter, and he wanted to ask the young master for his guilt." ”

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Let him wait, and then dry him, let him have a longer memory." A battalion of musketeers was being pulled away from his nose, and a boatload of muskets and ammunition was being taken with him, and he had to reflect on it. ”

"Yes."

Wu Zheng suddenly remembered something and said to Song An: "You go to Zhang Gong's Mansion quickly, and let him add a sentence after the previous recital." ”

After pondering for a while, Wu Zheng said, "...... Please ask Your Majesty to deport the guilty minister Chen Zilong to Hangzhou Mansion and hand it over to the ministers for disposal. ”

Song An was stunned when he heard this, and asked, "Young Master, is this trying to save Chen Zilong?" But Chen Zilong and the young master are against each other...... Why save him? ”

Wu Zheng smiled and said: "Put Liao Zhongping back to the capital, no matter how you hide it, the meaning of carving is also a little obvious, I need to turn Nawa's eyes to other people, Chen Zilong is a suitable person to take the blame." Besides, although Chen Zilong is stubborn and faint, I still recognize his conduct, such a person is hateful, but he cannot be killed. Let him come to Hangzhou...... His talent is not in politics, but in teaching and educating people. ”

"But the emperor may not be willing to let go."

Wu Zheng sneered: "He will let it go." For him, Chen Zilong is useless, not only useless, but also like a hot potato, he can't be killed, he can't be released, and it couldn't be better if he could be thrown into Hangzhou to harm me. Besides, at this time, he didn't dare to refuse me! Go quickly, don't wait until Zhang Gong sends someone to deliver a letter out of the city and then chase it back. ”

Song An's spirits perked up and he responded, "I'll go now." ”

……。

In the city of Hangzhou, there are really a lot of people like Wu Zheng who haven't rested.

The main building of the Mo house, the study room of Mo obsession.

This is a forbidden area, and no one is allowed to enter.

Those who dare to enter must have the consciousness of sinking into the white ocean pool.

This idler includes a lot of people, except for his granddaughter Mo Yiqing and Mo Nian's long-term follower, almost everyone is an idler.

Even the eldest son, who has been recalled and is in charge of the affairs of the Financial Secretary, that is, Mo Yiqing's father, has not been passed on and is not allowed to enter.

Mo Zhinian was writing at this time, with a stack of account books on the table, and from time to time he fiddled with an agarwood abacus in front of him.

His entourage came in with a long mahogany plate, and gently placed a bowl of rock sugar bird's nest on top of it on Mo Zhinian's right hand.

This distance is exquisite, not only does not affect Mo Obsession's abacus, but also once Mo Obsession wants to drink it, as long as he raises his hand.

It's hard to do anything.

The so-called doing a line of fine work, being a subordinate person, that is also technical work.

After putting down the dishes, he quietly stepped aside with a long mahogany plate, tiptoeing as if he had never come in.

Until Mo Zhizhi put down the account book and took a long breath.

Chang Suicai stepped forward and said, "Master drink it first, don't wait for it to get cold." ”

Mo Zhinian nodded slightly, picked up the bowl with his right hand, took a sip lightly, and then put it down and didn't drink.

Chang Sui handed over a snow-white handkerchief, Mo Zhinian took it, pressed the corners of his mouth lightly on both sides, and asked: "Changlin, just have someone to do this, so you don't have to wait in person, if you are sleepy, go and rest first." ”

Mo Changlin said in a low voice: "The master is laughing, the master has not rested yet, how can I sleep first?" ”

Mo sighed obsessively: "In a blink of an eye, you and I are old, and I can't bear to stay up late." But now that Hangzhou Mansion is fighting in and out, this hole is getting bigger and bigger, if it weren't for the interception of the commercial tax that was transported to Yingtianfu, I am afraid that after half a month, even the officials and soldiers would not be able to pay out the silver. ”

Mo Changlin said softly: "Forgive the slave for many words, this general is too capable of tossing." It is not easy to feed the officials of the three governments and tens of thousands of troops, and it is also necessary to set up military academies, military workshops, expand ports or something, this is a bottomless pit that can't hear the sound of smashing silver, if it weren't for the help of the Mo family's industry, I'm afraid that in the battle of Shaoxing Mansion, the soldiers won't even be able to eat...... This is not counted, a few days ago, the general also set up the Jiangnan School, and it was done, but he didn't accept the cash, saying that it was free, and it wasn't counted if it was free, and he had to let the schoolchildren have a lunch in vain, and it was not enough to eat, what standard was set, one person must have two or two meat and an egg, and the white rice was full...... Tell me, if it weren't for the support of the Mo family, the Hangzhou Mansion Yamen and the General's Mansion would have collapsed long ago. But the problem is that our Mo family is not an inexhaustible mountain of gold and silver, ....... ”

Mo Zhinian looked at Mo Changlin calmly and said, "You, after so many years, your vision has really not improved, and you can see a mouth under your nose." The port can make money, don't you see that the total amount of goods coming and going from the port is increasing every month? The military workshop has begun to manufacture muskets, which is related to the great cause of the Northern Expedition, if the Hangzhou government can make a large number of them, there is no need to buy them from Wei Kuangguo, and the price difference is not a star and a half. Running a military academy is the foundation of a general's work. As for the Jiangnan Academy, do you understand how to buy the hearts of the people? The Mo family also spends tens of thousands of taels every year to help the poor and build bridges and pave roads. ”
