Throughout the New Year's Festival, there were no guests in the Channing Mansion, and the gifts were received until they were soft.

No, now it can't be called Qianfu, it will be renamed "Zhufu" - today Qian Ning has been accepted as a righteous son, and he has also been given a national surname.

Qian Ning was so clever that he found a craftsman to hurry up the production of plaques and lanterns on the same day, and Mali became "Zhu Mansion".

On the courtier's side, of course, the pot was fried, and the impeachment folds were handed up one by one.

There are those who directly impeach Qian Ning, such as the superintendent of the imperial history Zhou Guang's book: "Jinyi Wei commanded Zhu Ning's eunuch Qian Neng's servant, and it is not appropriate to assume the emperor's surname, call him a righteous son, and spoil the government." He also said that the monks in the palace were chaotic and were just expelled.

There are also those who talk about the overall situation from the height of state affairs, such as Feng Tao, the head of the household department, who said seven things in a book, and in addition to the clichés such as "emphasizing the righteousness and righteousness of Confucian ministers" and "collecting loyalty and straightness for morale", he also mentioned "re-giving surnames to eliminate suspicions" and "choosing a clan to take the crown prince".

These two have always been upright and upright, and they are not the ones that some vassal kings can buy with money, but they also represent the mainstream attitude of the courtiers.

And what about the emperor's attitude?

The old god was there and stayed in the West Garden, and the excerpts were all left in the middle, and several elders went over to ask for an audience, and they went a few times to get the saint.

The elders tried hard to persuade them, but the result was ......

On the second day, the emperor first "gave one hundred and twenty-seven righteous sons with the surname Zhu"——

Among them, there are palace guards, eunuchs' sons and nephews, and market figures, anyway, he looks pleasing to the eye, so he pulls them all to his side and harvests them as righteous sons.

You say his Qinggong is empty? He'll be able to fill it up for you with a "godson"!

Later, he gave the Tianliang Palace Viewing Lord Tianliang Zi Zhenren 200 Dao.

You said that if he is close to the monk, he will be able to get close to the Taoist to show you!

Although the emperor beat the child is this wanton temperament, but in recent years it has been much more reliable, especially the opening of the sea in Shandong, the introduction of the regulations of the sect and the domain, the proposal of good governance such as the Qingzhang Tianmu, and the rapid removal of Liu Jin, all of which made the courtiers feel that the emperor has grown up and began to have a bit of a Ming monarchy.

But this time, he seems to have suddenly turned back into the reckless young man, and the more he wrote to persuade him, the more he fought against the courtiers.

Just tossed like this, and it was the New Year.

Taimiao Sixiang? There is no such thing.

The little prince of Ningfu was very embarrassed, and he was probably unwilling to return empty-handed, so he was "sick" at the right time and asked to stay in Beijing to recuperate.

The emperor is happy or not, this winter, he can't force a sick child to go on the road. Naturally, it is quasi-playing, and the imperial doctor has to be sent for consultation, given medicinal materials, and the official article must be done sufficiently.

Although there are many "righteous sons", Qian Ning's status is still the most special one. He is regarded as the "eldest son", and he is the closest person to the emperor, and his official position is also the highest.

There was another rumor in Xiyuan, saying that the emperor was drunk and fell asleep with Qian Ning's legs. There is no one else who can compare to this honor.

Therefore, there is a lively scene of the crowd of guests, everyone came from the time of "Liu Chitose", and they all know the temperament of the day and the power of the Son of Heaven's close ministers.

And such a big pie fell from the sky and smashed on his head, it was difficult for Qian Ning not to be smashed.

Although he knew in his heart that Ning Fan's side was pushing the fourth prince Taimiao Sixiang vigorously, and the emperor did not let go, but at this time, he slipped him out as a righteous son, that is, to set up a shield.

But, so what!!

Who wants the name of "Prince Shu"? !

Now that he is walking in the palace, there are flattering smiling faces of the little chamberlains everywhere, and the big bells whose eyes are usually on the top of their heads have also become warm, and even Zhang Yong, Wang Yue, and Liu Zhong will politely say hello when they see him. Why doesn't he want this "imperial concubine"?!

He directly rose to thousands of households, and the eldest son also had to seal the brocade clothes of a hundred households, look at the traffic in front of his house, the power and wealth are rolling in, why doesn't he want this "imperial concubine"?

As for Ning Fan, he did have the intention of betting on Ning Fan's little son.

However, since the emperor has set up his shield, he looks down on the little prince of Ningfu. That one can only be a small concubine of King Ning, and he has nothing to take care of.

Besides, he accepted Ning Fan's gift, but he didn't speak for Ning Fan.

Take money to do things, fair and reasonable.

In his day, there is still only Ning Fan begging for his share.

Qian Ning figured it out here, and when Mr. Ning Fu Miao came to the door, he put the "imperial concubine" on the shelf.

Open and close your mouth The emperor's grace is immense, his own family is loyal, and he obeys the holy decree.

Mr. Miao was so angry that he scolded the villain in his heart, but he couldn't take him, so he could only hate and leave.

After returning to the house, Mr. Miao told Mr. Xiao Li everything about Qian Ning's words and deeds.

As he expected, Mr. Xiao Li really jumped like thunder and smashed a lot of things, "It's just a little loach, and you really think you jumped over the dragon gate?!" This idiot is just sending food to the imperial history. ”

He knocked on the table irritably, and instructed Mr. Miao, "Continue to find those sour Confucians, don't spend money, just blow the wind, and accept a castrated adopted son as a righteous son, is it in line with their Confucian way?" Let these hard bones continue to go to the book. ”

Mr. Miao said in his heart, there are still fewer previous impeachments? According to this impeachment, he specially used the righteous son to mention the crown prince, but the emperor didn't talk at all!

If you want to talk about this reason, it's not that Mr. Xiao Li has taken a bad move!

They had arranged for the next few waves to follow the letter to force the emperor to recognize the Taimiao Sixiang, but they didn't expect that as soon as Shen Li resigned, those people were immediately shocked by the "emperor's anger".

That's Shang Shuwei, who believes that someone will say throw it away?

Besides, it really reaches the point where officials have to throw it away, which must mean that the emperor's punishment will be more severe than that of degrading officials.

Although it is said that wealth and wealth are sought in danger, they are all old fritters in officialdom, and who will spell the current real future to win an illusory dragon when there is no one in the eight characters?

And the people, the people are more interested in a "Shangshu with the shortest tenure in history", especially during the period, it is also mixed with "Shangshu just lost his official, Tanhua's son-in-law and Shangshu's daughter and divorced" This kind of rich family grievances that the people like to see, who will discuss whether a small prince of the feudal domain will be too temple Sixiang?

The voice of the little fourth son almost disappeared.

And the emperor took Shen Li's official son in front of him, and accepted the adopted son of a eunuch slave as a righteous son in the back hand, this attitude is already obvious!

It is deviant to accept a righteous son who cannot be on the stage, but in fact, it is no different from those tigers, leopards and jackals raised in the leopard house, and it will not affect the inheritance of the heirs at all.

If you want him to accept the son of the vassal king who affects the heir, it is impossible.

Those courtiers who were already shocked by Shen Li's affairs became more and more optimistic about the little fourth son, and even Mr. Miao came to the door with a heavy gift and failed to get a few words of affirmative support for the little fourth son.

"The matter of impeaching Yoshiko cannot be broken. Let the eldest princess and eldest princess of the clan also come out and say something. ”

Mr. Xiao Li pointed at Mr. Miao and said, "The British Mansion is also looking for someone, just say in Zhang Hui's ear, 'Qian Ning is not a eunuch'." Qian Ning is now a thousand households, can he not worry about the commander? That Zhang Hui also came up by slapping the knot, can you not be wary of Qian Ning? And let them dog-eat-dog. ”

Mr. Miao said in his heart, not to mention that Zhang Hui's current identity is not as good as the people around him, even if he does, this provocation is too obvious. Zhang Hui is not a stupid person if he can get to this point, he will be easily provoked?!

If you really follow Mr. Xiao Li's step by step, I'm afraid that I will have to do it.

Mr. Miao made up his mind, so he just responded to the story.

Mr. Xiao Li didn't pay attention to Mr. Miao's attitude at all, and confessed to grasping the Zhang family, the queen mother's mother.

At this time, it was time for the Queen Mother to come out and speak.

Suddenly, Mr. Xiao Li asked, "What is Zhang Wei doing now?" ”

This self-proclaimed scheming man will not admit that he has made mistakes.

There is no problem with his plan, that is, the executor has done a mess - so far, he often talks about "Zhang Wei waste".

Mr. Miao frowned, "He has been on leave since the New Year's Festival, and he didn't go to the Hanlin Academy." Some of the rumors on the street are really ugly. I was about to introduce a quote and say that Shen Shangshu was dedicated to the country and recommended the fourth son, but Shen Shangshu couldn't bear to involve his son-in-law......

Shen Li resigned, how many people stared at the Shen family, the news of the separation could not be hidden, Zhang Wei immediately became the villain who scolded the father-in-law of the high-ranking officials in every possible way back then, and abandoned his wife when the father-in-law lost power.

Even with it, the old things about Zhang Yuanzhen's grandfather Zhang Yuanzhen who drilled the camp back then have also been turned over.

Zhang Wei was poked and scolded by people everywhere he went, so he simply complained about his illness and didn't go to the office, but only stayed at home, wanting to wait for this matter to fade away. It's going to be a try, and new topics will keep popping up, and no one will say anything about him.

Mr. Miao was very optimistic about Zhang Wei, young, well-read, with enough brains, and with the identity of Tanhua, he was a material that could be made.

Now it's good, Mr. Xiao Li directly cut off all his help with a stinky move, and splashed him with sewage, what else is this climbing?

So I thought about helping to wash one or two.

Mr. Xiao Li sneered, "You are thinking about Zhang Wei's waste, why don't you feel sorry for ruining the prince's money?" ”

Mr. Miao's face was ugly, "He is still Tanhualang after all." The words were bitten very hard between the words, "My ancestors have been in Jiangxi for generations, and I am loyal to the prince......"

Mr. Xiao Li interrupted, "I didn't say I didn't need him." ”

He paused and smiled, "His skin, this identity of Tanhualang, can be used." The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jianchang, isn't it that she hasn't allowed someone yet? ”

Mr. Miao didn't react for a while, shook his head, and then said in surprise: "The eldest daughter of Zhang Yanling, Marquis of Jianchang?!" "Isn't that one still in the nunnery?!

Because they deliberately wooed their relatives from the Zhang family, they inquired about the situation of the Zhang family up and down.

"That, it is the current Concubine De Niangniang who offended, as well as Yang Ge Lao's daughter, and now that they have passed the flowering period, the Zhang family still doesn't dare to take people back. We are just afraid that this plan will not work. "Mr. Miao is really afraid that this stinky chess basket will make another stupid move.

Not only is it an offense, but what he did back then can be regarded as murder!

At the beginning, the Zhang family sent this girl into Jibei Nunnery, which was probably just to avoid the limelight, anyway, she was young, and no one paid attention to it after a year and a half.

I didn't think that the identities of those two would be more noble than the other, but the saints of the Zhang family were not as good as before, so this girl could only stay in the nunnery.

Year after year, it has been dragged into an old girl, and the Zhang family has no intention of mentioning it, which shows the taboo.

Mr. Xiao Li disagreed, and said: "Concubine De is from the Zhang family, the Zhang family and the Shen family are in-laws, and they can be regarded as relatives with Yang Ge's hometown, and the Zhang family still has the queen mother, where is really afraid of them." When I haven't found a suitable choice for marriage for so many years-

"The Zhang family is not afraid of those two, and others may not be afraid. Ordinary people don't look down on the Zhang family, so isn't this dragging. I think at the beginning, why did the Marquis of Shouning choose Shen Jin, the champion lang, as his son-in-law? It's just to raise the price of his family. Zhang Wei's appearance, this identity of Tanhualang, must have an appetite for the Zhang family. ”

Mr. Xiao Li seemed to think that his own strategy was extremely clever, high-fived a few times, and said with a smile, "This Zhang Wei gave up the daughter of Shangshu and married the girl of the Zhang family, doesn't it mean that the girl of the Zhang family is expensive?" ”

Mr. Miao only frowned and remained silent.

Mr. Xiao Li smacked his lips and said, "The Zhang family has worked their son-in-law, pushing it into the court, you look at Shen Jin." is also unlucky, if he hadn't caught up with Ding Wei for three years, he might not be worse than Shen Rui's little rabbit cub now. If you can get a Tanhualang and cultivate well, will the Zhang family be happy? ”

Mr. Miao nodded slowly, indeed, the Zhang family may not be unhappy. It's just ...... "It's just that if Zhang Wei is not happy...... This twisted melon is not sweet, if you offend the Marquis of Jianchang again......"

Mr. Xiao Li immediately lowered his face, "He's not happy?!" Don't talk about the girl from the Zhang family, it is the girl from the concubine, if it is not the current situation, the waste is not a tanhualang who has never been married!

"The Shen family now has no high-ranking officials in the court, but the in-laws of the Shen family are all in high-ranking positions, and it is not easy to crush him to death as a little Hanlin editor? If he doesn't find a backer, he just waits to be killed by the Shen family quietly. ”

"You let him understand better," Mr. Xiao Li said almost word for word, "Lord Wang, there will be no useless people." ”

Mr. Miao also saw a cold sweat behind his back, and reluctantly responded: "The student will go and talk to him." ”

Mr. Xiao Li waved his hand and motioned him to do it as soon as possible, and said slowly: "Since you are good friends with him, you can persuade him well, let him learn more from his grandfather." ”

*

The wave of impeachment of Yoshiko has been coming out and has not yet been blown in the first month.

Of course, there are also many of them who quietly wave the flag for the little prince of Ningfu.

For example, Wang Zheng, the superintendent of the thirteen provinces of Nanjing, said: "Your Majesty's heir is still vacant for nine years, please choose a young and sage in the clan to put it around, in order to represent the temple ceremony, do the duty of morning and dusk, the prince is born, and he is sent back to the country." ”

The stubble of the Taimiao Sixiang in the first month is in the past, but there is still a "morning and dusk province"!

This is not in a hurry, every day!

"Young and virtuous", I put the word "young" in my head.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Li had just lost his Shang scholarly position, these people would almost have said that the little prince of Ning Fan was a ready-made candidate.

And the Queen Mother, who had not spoken out before, also inquired about the "righteous son".

The words that came out were that the Queen Mother hoped that the emperor would take the sect as her thoughts, abstain from traveling, be pro-virtuous, and be diligent in government and the people.

But there is also gossip that although the queen mother did not say that she chose the children of the clan, she also really praised the virtuous king of the clan.

No matter how ridiculous the emperor is, he can not listen to the virtuous ministers, but he can't violate filial piety and not listen to the queen mother.

So, within two days, the "obedient" little emperor issued an order, praised the virtuous king of Zhou, added Lu rice, and specially made an exception to seal the eldest son of King Zhou as the son of the world.

This King of Zhou was the first to respond to the regulations of the Zong Domain, and now he is donating grain for disaster relief, cooperating with the Qing Zhang's fields and acres, not to mention, and actively cooperating with the investigation of the peanuts and passing on the life of the Domain, handing over the Zonglu that these people have defrauded for many years, and properly arranging these people who have been deceased-

He reopened the sect in accordance with the regulations of the sect, and looked up to King Zhao, and donated to build a school, a medical hall, and an engineering college, allowing these unknighted peanut children to enter school for free according to their preferences, and learn a skill to make a living.

This move was unanimously praised by Wenchen.

is more virtuous than the king of Ning who only sued other sects but did not take any practical action.

And King Zhou's son is still a milk doll, but he is more "young" than the little son of Ning Fan!

Before long, the Empress Dowager, who had never asked about political affairs, suddenly opened Chrysostom and pleaded with the emperor to make the prince of Chongwang become a knight.

And Henan also reported many good deeds of the prince of Chongwang in a "timely manner" to help the victims, donate money to schools, and even donate military salaries to help suppress bandits.

Speaking of which, the first day of March this year is the 10th anniversary of the death of the Empress Dowager of Xianzhou. The first generation of King Chong was the flesh and blood of the Empress Dowager Zhou and the brother of Xianmiao.

Even if the emperor issued a decree to praise him, he ordered the prince to inherit the title after his filial piety.

In theory, it is reasonable for the Empress Dowager, the queen of the Xian Temple, to speak for the Chongwang lineage.

However, you must know that the Queen Mother was not on good terms with the Queen Mother Zhou back then, and even in the last days of the Queen Mother Zhou, she refused to see the Queen Mother and did not allow her to serve the sick.

The Zhang family, a relative, and the Zhou family, fought for many years, until the two lords of the Zhou family passed away, the family gradually declined, and they were unable to compete with the Zhang family, so there were fewer lawsuits.

The Empress Dowager's move will inevitably be interpreted as different.

For many years, the Empress Dowager has been like an invisible person, silent in the harem.

But she is the queen mother in the end, and her seniority is there.

The emperor is filial, and he must honor his mother, but his grandmother must also be filial.

If there is anyone who can suppress the Queen Mother, it is only the Queen Mother......

As for the land of Henan, when did so many virtuous kings emerge, many people secretly said in their hearts that the Shen family's children are cunning and good methods.

Previously, Shen Li resigned and left Beijing, and many people were waiting to see Shen Rui's words.

Many people participated in the impeachment of Shen Rui with various purposes, and those who took King Ning's silver even pointed out that Shen Rui had a personal relationship with the vassal king and invited him to buy people's hearts for the vassal king, and secretly poked and poked out the first generation of King Zhao's intentions to rebel.

But before the formation of a wave of condemnation of Shen Rui, Henan quickly sent the excerpt into Beijing, saying that King Ru also donated Lu rice to help the victims.

The imperial court immediately issued a decree of praise.

It is reasonable to say that King Zhao invited people to buy people's hearts and intended to rebel, but King Ru doesn't even have a son! Who would believe that he would also rebel?!

Those who were slapped in the face retracted their heads again.

And in less than a month, Henan has emerged one after another, one more virtuous than the other, and one has contributed more to the imperial court than the other.

Of course, the unvirtuous, such as Zhao Fan's Linzhang County King, Tangyin County King, Zheng Fan's Dongyuan County King, etc., all asked Shen Rui to clean it up.

Okay, no matter how many people he, Shen Rui, the disaster relief official, finally helps, just if he dares to make a move against the clans, and can make so many clans bow respectfully to the court, he will only have merit and will not have any faults.

What's more, with so much rice from the sect, there is no need to worry about this disaster relief.

In the eyes of everyone, Shen Rui didn't have to do anything at the moment, just lying in the merit book and waiting to receive the reward.

But in fact, Shen Rui has a headache with various things, such as the medicinal material trading market, such as water conservancy projects, such as the suppression of bandits, such as the decline in the trading volume of the border horse market......

*

At the beginning of the first month, Jiang Yan arrived in Henan with a large team of men and horses to join Shen Rui.

Governor Shen of Wu'an County became famous in a war, and then cleaned up the palace and exterminated the bandits.

Now with heavy troops, it shows the true character of Hades.

He had been asking people to "investigate" in Huaiqing Mansion for a long time, but this time he waved his troops and had the internal response to lead the way, and quickly wiped out several of the most powerful horse thieves.

Of course, the matter of suppressing bandits does not need to be personally put on the battlefield by him, the governor, he mainly ascends to the court to accept the case of the local people against the Zheng Fu Zongfan.

If you want to investigate, the cases of violations of law and discipline in the Zongfan are not as many as there are, and there are the "cooperation" of the kings of Fanchang and Lujiang County, and the Dongyuan Wangfu naturally has conclusive evidence of various crimes.

If it weren't for Shen Rui's insistence on having empirical evidence, the king of Fanchang County even wanted to plant King Zheng's death on the head of the king of Dongyuan County.

This time, Shen Rui was only in charge of adjudicating the case, and the work of raiding the house was handed over to a professional - Tang Xing, a thousand households of Jinyi Wei who came from Beijing on order.

This is the top figure in Beizhen Fusili's ruthlessness, whether it is Mu Bin or Yang Yu, who sits in the command position, he stays steady with his ruthless torture skills.

But in fact, he was secretly Wang Yue's person.

Zhang Hui sent this Tang Xing to Henan, not only because he wanted his notoriety to be used to carry the blame, but no one could impeach him with a fresher trick, but also because of the use of Wang Yue's people, so that the emperor could rest assured.

If the problem of the clan is solved, the problem of Qingzhang can be quickly promoted, and the production of Huai Yao will be guaranteed.

The horse thieves were cleaned up, and the transportation channel with Zezhou, Shanxi Province was also opened.

Shen Rui asked Du Laoba and Tian Feng to build a standard line and post station in Huaiqing Mansion with a density comparable to Dengzhou, which is not only to facilitate the transportation of Huaiyao from north to south, but also to connect with Zezhou Mansion - Shanxi Wuxue is located in Zezhou, so many news will be smoother.

Shen Rui also applied to the imperial court to establish a medical hall affiliated to Shanxi Wuxue, specializing in training military doctors and making wound medicine for use on the battlefield, and the supply of this medicinal material will be provided in Huaiqing Mansion and Zhangde Mansion.

The two places promote the cultivation of medicinal herbs, establish corresponding pharmaceutical factories, and local medicinal herbs can be deducted from taxes and given certain preferential treatment.

The cabinet praised the establishment of the military medical hall, which was soon approved, and the treasury of the military medical hall was given, and the supporting pharmaceutical factory was to be built locally.

The bigwigs thought that the imperial court's willingness to admit that the pharmaceutical factory supplied medicine to the military medical hall was to give the pharmaceutical factory great glory and business opportunities, just like a tribute. Therefore, no expense will be allocated.

As for tax deductions, the bigwigs are not too reluctant.

In fact, among the prefectures in Henan, although Huaiqing Mansion does not have much land, it accounts for a large proportion of taxes, and the imperial court will not easily allow it to change.

However, now that Henan has been affected by the disaster, it has been exempted from taxes for one year anyway, and the cabinet said that the tax will be put on hold in advance, and it will be determined next year depending on the situation.

Shen Rui is not in a hurry, when the medicinal materials trading market in Zhangde Mansion is up, the commercial tax will be increased proportionally, the circulation of grain will be guided, the living conditions of the people will improve, and the water conservancy project can further improve the land and increase the yield per mu, then the tax will not be too much of a problem.

Of course, that will be for later, and the immediate issue is the huge shortage of food.

Henan has been affected by disasters for several years in a row, and even if the rich households of the feudal government have more grain, it can only be a temporary relief, and it is difficult for the people of this province to survive until the time when the autumn grain comes down in large quantities.

Shen Rui is also trying to do everything possible to prepare grain and rice.

For the deceased ancestors of the ancestors, please confer the title of official below the sixth grade, and the decree was ordered to mobilize the wealthy families of the wang clan to donate grain in exchange for the exchange conditions, and the cattle and sheep grains were used as a reward to encourage the people who entered the community warehouse to rush to plant short-term high-yield grain, and Henan medicinal materials were used as a guide to attract merchants to transport grain from other provinces to trade, etc.

In addition to these conventional methods, Shen Rui also sent someone to Dengzhou early to ask Jin Yuzhu to try to contact Meng Cong to see if he could get more food from overseas.

Although the distant water cannot catch the thirst, I am afraid that Henan will be short of grain in the next two years, no matter where the grain and rice are, the more the better.

Of course, no matter where you want to transport grain into Henan, you need peace on the ground in Henan.

Therefore, Shen Rui and Jiang Yan agreed to divide the troops into three routes.

Zhou Xian went to Henan Mansion to suppress the mine thieves, while Gao Wenhu and Jiang Yan first cleared the bandits in Kaifeng Mansion, and then went to Guide Mansion and Runing Mansion separately.

Guide Mansion is close to Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, and Shen Rui specially requested Ding Huanzhi to be placed here as the prefect before leaving Beijing, in order to facilitate this transportation.

Ding Huanzhi also understands what he means, and he has not been less material for Shen Rui in the past few months.

When Gao Wenhu went to Caozhou, Shandong Province to suppress the bandits, he went to Guide Mansion to the past, and he was quite familiar with the situation here, so he would go to Guide Mansion.

Runing Mansion is connected with Huguang and Nanzhili, and is also close to Jiangxi, so it can curb Jiangxi's troops to the north to the south, and quickly defend Nanjing to the east. Jiang Yan once followed his father to suppress bandits in Huguang, and there were many resources available on the ground in Huguang. This step is precisely to guard against the Ning Domain.

In comparison, mine thieves are more difficult to deal with than horse thieves.

Although the horse thieves are mobile in all directions, their whereabouts can be checked, and the army is pressed down, and there is no escape.

The mine thieves are all in the deep mountains and old forests, and they hide without a trace when there is a wind and grass. If the army wants to go deep into the forest to search the mountains, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and supply is even more difficult.

This is what local officials say about prevarication and grievances.

"It's hard for us to transport grain and grass, and it won't be easy for those bandits." Before the division of troops, when Jiang Yan summoned everyone to discuss the battle plan, Zhou Xian said.

"After being affected by the disaster for so long, Jinsha iron sand can't be eaten, and if they can dig it out, they have to replace it with food."

He looked at Shen Rui and said, "I heard someone say in the Dezhou Wei that Lord Shen used to cut off their back roads when he dealt with Haikou in the first place. ”

Shen Rui bowed slightly, and Tian Feng behind him immediately saluted: "Don't worry, adults, the little ones are already investigating the land-sitting households that are connected with the mine thieves." It's just that there are many mountains, and it will take some time. ”

Tian Feng paused, looked around, and said, "I'm afraid that it has something to do with the locality, it's not so easy to find out, and it's ...... to cook."

Zhou Xian looked at Shen Rui with an expressionless face, and his heart shook, knowing that it was just Shen Rui who said it through the mouth of the next leader. Where on the ground in Henan are there still people who Shen Raid's family doesn't dare to clean up.

What the emperor sent himself to Henan for, Zhou Xian was clear, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to persuade King Ru. Shen Rui has never concealed his exploits in the military newspaper, and he will not deliberately make things difficult for him.

Therefore, Zhou Xian naturally took over the words and said: "The emperor sent me to wait, isn't it just to clear the place, no matter what you find, Tian Zhuangshi, you just have to report it, if there are people who know the law and break the law and harbor bandits, the national law will not tolerate it, and we will not tolerate it." ”

He also said to Shen Rui: "Please also ask the governor to give an order to let Father-in-law Liao come over, and the mine supervisor here still needs to be coordinated by Father-in-law Liao." ”

Shen Rui bowed his head and said: "I have already sent someone to invite Liao Bo to come to Henan Mansion." ”

This mine thief is not only intervened by the forces of the clan, but also the local mine supervisors and tax supervisors must also be involved.

To deal with internal officials, it is natural to ask Liao Bo to come to town. Shen Rui is now very comfortable with this knife.

Du Laoba glanced at Wan Dongjiang in the corner over there, and arched his hand: "There is a certain idea, not very good on the table." ”

Because this was Zhang Hui's person, Zhou Xian was quite polite and said goodbye.

"Your Excellency doesn't know, there are some prefectures and counties in Zhili, and there are few people who can catch thieves, and sometimes they rely on the sea to catch documents and offer bonuses, and there are always some people who are capable of eating this meal." Du Lao Badao.

"Sometimes, he just catches someone on the road, and he doesn't deal with it immediately, but only locks it up and hangs it, so that his brothers, family, relatives and friends can catch the thief next to him, and if he is caught, he will more or less exempt this one from the prison crime. And then concoct this newly caught ......"

Zhou Xian glanced at Du Laoba meaningfully and said, "This is not a bad idea." Since Naoli has been doing this, it can be regarded as a precedent. It's just that the first one is not easy to catch. ”

Du Laoba gave Wan Dongjiang a look, and Wan Dongjiang got up a little stiffly and said: "I know some friends who are three religions and nine streams, and I can often hear some disputes ......in the rivers and lakes."

Zhou Xian knew what he was doing, and said with a smile: "If someone is willing to be good and make meritorious contributions, although it cannot be said that he is not guilty of the past, he will also be dealt with leniently." It is not impossible to recruit An, as long as there is no unforgivable case in hand, the army has always respected bloody men. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Shen Rui again.

Shen Rui only said: "Commander Zhou cherishes talents, which is a blessing for the soldiers." ”

Zhou Xian said, "My lord is overrated. Those who have committed the most heinous sins go to build river embankments and roads, which can be regarded as atoning for the work of the people and the good of the place. Some may be coerced, sincerely repentant, and some kung fu is in the body, and they should also be used well. ”

He paused, "I heard that the people in Dengzhou organized a green and strong coastal patrol, but now the mountains and forests in Henan are high and deep, and it is easy for Tibetan bandits to harm the people. Therefore, if they are sent to the border gates, they will not only contribute to the protection of the frontier, but also have a future for themselves, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds. ”

Shen Rui didn't think about getting some horse thieves to go to the grassland and be a surprise soldier.

It's just that this matter involves the armed forces, and it is always a little sensitive, and he can't help but be affected by Shen Li's affairs, he has been impeached a lot for a while, and he really doesn't want to send a new handle to the hands of Yushi.

Moreover, how to control such a person is also a university question, and if one is not good, the knife of these people will not be able to point to whom.

Shen Rui groaned slightly and said, "I'm afraid that the wild nature is untamable, and we need to think about it in the long run." If there is such a person, stay first, I have asked Du Dangjia to go to Shaolin to negotiate in a few days, and invite some Shaolin lay disciples to help. At that time, there will be such a skilled young man with a bow and horse, which can be handed over to the Shaolin disciples to help train them. ”

Zhou Xian said that the adult was thoughtful, but he said: "I just hope that the border pass will have more peace." ”

But it is implied that the border gates may not be able to wait for these people to be trained.

Last year, there were many cattle, sheep and even horses, and people with a heart would pay attention to one or two.

Zhou Xian is already a confidant of Brother Shou, and he is good friends with the eldest princess of Chun'an, so it is not difficult to know the situation at the border pass.

Shen Rui sighed in his heart, and only said: "Although the fast knife is sharp, if you hurt your hand, the gain outweighs the loss." ”

Zhou Xian stopped talking, diverted the topic, and discussed with Du Laoba and Wan Dongjiang the detailed plan to sweep away the rich who sat on the land and sold stolen goods and arrested the mine thieves.

*

For the border pass, Shen Rui also has a headache.

In the history of the previous life, in the ninth and tenth years of Zhengde, the Tatars had entered the army in a big way.

When the horse market was restarted last year, Shen Rui was bent on using the interests of the horse market to hold back the Tatars and buy a few more years for Daming.

Li Yanqing's weapons research is progressing rapidly, and the Jingwei Martial Arts School and Shanxi Martial Arts are also vigorously training middle- and low-level officers, and when convenient and stable long-range firearms come out, and when batch after batch of outstanding generals rush to the border gates, the Ming Dynasty will no longer be afraid of border troubles.

Shen Rui has always maintained close contact with Cong Lan and Shen Hui, and Pang Tianqing will also write to inquire from time to time, so he knows a lot about the situation in the horse market and the border pass.

But in the end, thousands of miles away, the intervention can be very limited.

Internally, Shen Rui can increase the purchase price of grain to prevent grain cheapness from hurting farmers; But externally, he has no position and cannot ask the Ming merchants to increase the purchase price of cattle and sheep to protect the grassland people's enthusiasm for breeding.

Therefore, they had to find another way to actively expand the variety of traded items, so that the Tartars felt that it was profitable.

But I didn't count the drought in the grassland.

If it is cold today, it may not be too obvious, and when the spring returns to the earth in March and April, you can see the clues, and you don't have to wait for the autumn to be high and the horse is fat, and it may usher in a wave of disturbances.

At that time, the DPRK and China will inevitably clamore for the closure of the horse market.

But now Shen Rui is still worried about Henan's grain and rice, where can there be any surplus to provide to the grassland? !

There is a quota for salt and iron, no matter how good the tea is, you can't go hungry, what else can appease the grassland......

Just when Shen Rui was busy preparing for the division of the army and worried about the border trade situation, he ushered in a guest who was completely unexpected.

Lam tin.

After the fall of Liu Jin last year, Lan Zhang, who was framed by Liu Jin and belittled Fuzhou, was able to redress his grievances and return to Beijing to serve as the imperial history of the right capital of the Imperial Procuratorate.

Shen Rui later learned from Yang Shen's letter that Lantian also followed his father Lan Zhang into Beijing to prepare for the Spring Festival.

This seven-year-old young prodigy who can write poetry and sixteen middle school is talented, but he is unlucky, and he has repeatedly tried and failed to succeed, and now he is seven out of thirty.

This year was supposed to be the best time: the opponent Liu Jin fell, and his father rose to become an upstart;

His master is the first assistant Li Dongyang;

He and the son of the elder Yang Tinghe are the same family, and they have a good relationship;

Because the Lan family cooperated with Shen Rui in Shandong, Wang Hua would not embarrass him.

He has great talent himself, not to mention that he will inevitably be the best, but he will always be on the list.

But it was during the examination period, but Lantian appeared in Henan.

Shen Rui was surprised when he heard that people were familiar, and he didn't know what had happened in Beijing.

Of course, if it was related to his own family, Zhang Hui should have come over to deliver the letter a long time ago.

But even if it is not directly related to himself, he does not dare to take it lightly.

At that time, Shen Rui did not follow his eldest brother to entertain at the literary meeting, and had a lot of dealings with Lantian, he knew that this person was the most straightforward and did not like to go around the corner, so he welcomed Lantian into the back office, and directly introduced the secret room and asked about the situation in Beijing.

Lantian waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, it's my father who wants to join King Ning and rectify the salt law, and he is afraid that I will be used to confuse the public when I participate in this year's Spring Festival, so let me wait for another three years." ”

He laughed at himself: "Zuo has waited for so many years, and there is a difference of these three years." ”

Shen Rui couldn't help but sigh.

When Shen Linan returned to Henan and saw him in the future, he only let his henchmen carry a thick pile of letters, carefully analyzed the situation in Beijing with him, and asked him to be more careful when he was outside.

The news sent by Zhang Hui from time to time also showed that Ning Fan did not give up on the matter of the little son's heir, and more people would be involved.

Lan Zhang is now going to directly face the Shangning Domain, so he naturally has to be fully prepared to solve all the hidden dangers that may be attacked.

It's a pity that Lantian is so talented.

Shen Rui didn't know what to comfort him for a while, so he had to change the topic and ask him the purpose of coming to Henan.

"I know a little bit about medical science, and the teacher asked me to come over and see the military medical hall and the pharmaceutical factory you mentioned." Lantian said with a smile.

Shen Rui's eyes lit up, he looked at Lan Tian, and asked tentatively, "Brother Lan is going to Shoufu's Siyi Pavilion......

Lantian said: "I heard the teacher mention the scene here. 'If there is something, the disciple will do his best', but I will do my best to share the teacher's worries. ”

He smiled again: "My uncle also expects me to open Penglai Academy to Henan, I heard that Henan is now rising to open a medical hall, I think it is serious to open a Penglai Medical Hall first." ”

Shen Rui couldn't help but be overjoyed, Lantian is the kind of all-round scholar who is a subset of history and astronomical law, and he has served in Fuzhou with his father for many years, and his general affairs are also taken care of clearly, and it is really a great help for him to stay in Henan.

Since Lantian agreed to stay, he quickly entered the role and told him all the plans for the medical hall and pharmaceutical factory along the way.

At the end, he asked Shen Ruidao: "I heard Pang Zikuo talk about border trade, and he said that you are looking for a large demand for the grassland-have you ever thought about medicinal materials?" I mean, veterinary medicine, patent medicine. ”

The survival of the grassland depends on cattle and horses, and veterinary medicine is indeed urgently needed by the grassland, and it will be in demand for a long time and in large quantities.

Of course, there is a limit to the drugs that can be used normally, after all, they are also a kind of strategic materials.

However, veterinary drugs are different after all, and the part that can be used by humans and animals is made into powder, pills and other finished medicines, which can effectively prevent them from being made into injury drugs again.

Shen Rui sighed lightly: "I also thought about promoting the cultivation of medicinal herbs in Zhangde, but after I learned about it, I realized that good veterinarians are hard to find." ”

Because of the horse politics, Daming paid great attention to the veterinarian in his early years.

In the 28th year of Hongwu, it was stipulated: "The people set up a veterinarian for every twenty-five stallions (changed to fifty after Yongle), and the peasants selected two or three smart and handsome children to study, and one person was fixed, and if there was no cure, they would be replaced." In addition, there are two veterinarians in each state and one veterinarian in each prefecture, and there is no rank, and they will be replaced at the end of the year. ”

However, with the gradual deterioration of the horse administration and the increasing financial tension in various places, veterinarians are doing the most tiring and busy work, but they are often deducted from the monthly silver and rice, and their lives are not guaranteed.

Even those who worked as veterinarians for officials and horses in the post station were unable to support their families because of the poor money, so most of them were passive and slacking off to find another way to make a living, and there were very few who really studied it.

In this way, in the border of Henan, this lottery veterinarian has become a heavy burden on farmers, and they are afraid to avoid it.

At the beginning, Dengzhou was mountainous, not suitable for raising cattle and horses, and there were not many veterinarians, and then Shen Rui pushed the sea trade, and Dengzhou purchased a large number of cattle and horses from Liaodong.

After Dengzhou gradually prospered, the people's income gradually increased, and cattle and horses also entered ordinary homes, the treatment of veterinarians was naturally no longer a problem.

Therefore, when he was in Shandong, Shen Rui did not pay attention to the situation of the veterinarian group.

It wasn't until he came to Henan, or after the successive disasters, that he discovered the seriousness of the problem.

Shen Rui sighed: "I have asked Jingzhong to see if I can transfer people who know veterinarians from Taifu Temple and Yuanma Temple to come over and teach local veterinarians." It also made people go to Shandong to find Gaoming veterinarians, but the road was far away, and it took a lot of time to go back and forth. Wait for the completion of the re-pharmaceutical ......"

Then I don't know if it will be delayed until the Year of the Monkey. Military intelligence waits for no one.

After that, Shen Rui stared at Lantian with burning eyes, since he mentioned it, he should have already had a belly case. Seeing that he still looked indifferent after listening to himself, he hurriedly said, "Please also ask Brother Lan to teach me ......"

Sure enough, Lan Tian smiled and supported him with both hands, and said, "Hengyun is polite." I've also read some of the Ox and Horse Sutras, so I might be able to learn from the local veterinarians. ”
