He went to Xuzhou with his father to take up his post, and it was early summer when he left Jinling, and it was late autumn when he re-entered Jinling at this time.

There are three more months, which is the fourteenth year of Emperor Tianyou, and Han Qian also feels that the years are like a shuttle, and the time left for him is really insufficient. If he doesn't see any change in two years, he may have to consider staying in Xuzhou and not returning to Jinling.

Farewell April, Li Zhihe is still heroic, with two black beards on his lips, a lean face with well-defined outlines, wearing civilian clothes, and also exuding a sharp bearing, seeing Han Qian standing on the deck facing the wind, although he is not as happy as Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, but he also sincerely shows a relieved smile.

At this time, it was already early afternoon, and the fleet had to pay the inspection and taxes when entering the city from the water gate, and the procedures were complicated.

Li Zhihe didn't ask Han Qian to come down, he and Feng Yi, Kong Xirong and others directly abandoned their horses and boarded the ship, met with Han Qian, and the horses were handed over to the guards and taken back to the city directly.

All kinds of things that happened in Xuzhou, except for special secrets, things that can only be taught orally, such as the receipt of Feng Xuan and Gao Bao for their own use, and the private transactions with Tanzhou cannot be written into the letter, other things, as long as the staff department sends someone to re-enter Xuzhou can be investigated, Han Qian will write a letter every half a month to send someone back to Jinling, and submit it to the case of the three princes, in addition to maintaining contact, but also to inform the progress of Xuzhou's closest relatives.

Han Qian introduced Yang Qin, Feng Xuan, Feng Zhang, Gao Bao and the other representatives sent by the four surnames to Li Zhihe, Feng Yi, and Kong Xirong.

Dachu has several large states with more than 100,000 households, Xuzhou as a lower state, only three counties, Tu Hakka nationality add up to only 12,000 households, these years the country is divided, wars are endless, Feng Zhang, Gao Bao and others in Xuzhou are well-informed figures, but they have not entered Jinling such a prosperous city.

Li Zhihe is the eldest son of the Marquis of Xinchang, Feng Yi is the son of Feng Wenlan, the servant of the household department, and Kong Xirong is the son of Kong Zhou, the deputy commander of the Right Shenwu Army. And Li Zhihe, as the capital of the Dragon Bird Army, is equivalent to the soldiers and soldiers of Sima in Xiazhou or Shangzhou or the lieutenants of the state battalions and the soldiers and horses.

They boarded the ship without the slightest arrogance, which also made Feng Zhang and the others feel very good, and slightly reduced their fear of being bullied.

Part of the cargo escorted by the fleet is the tribute delivered by Xuzhou to the Ministry of Households, which needs to be handed over to the Ministry of Households for acceptance, and the establishment of cards at the water gate to collect taxes is also the affairs of the Yamen of the Salt and Iron Envoys, and the procedures for entering the city are complicated.

Fortunately, Feng Yi is the son of Feng Wenlan, the servant of the household department, and the middle-level and low-level officials of the household department, the salt and iron envoy department, and the yamen have to sell him a face, not to mention Han Qian, and they are accompanied by Li Zhihe.

It was almost late for the fleet to pass through the water without being troubled, and after all the inspections, the taxes were paid according to the price and the tribute was unloaded at the warehouse designated by the household department, but the fleet sailed into the Shitang River and docked in front of the warehouse at the end of Tieli Lane.

In the past four months, Han Qian has left Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng in Jinling, and together with Chun Shisanniang, he is responsible for the infrastructure construction of the secretary Cao Zuosi.

The Tieli Lane Warehouse Wharf has been completed, and Fan Dahei has built a thick wall around the six sets of courtyards near the Shitang River in Tieli Lane, Lanting Lane, and Gushan Lane according to the plan drawn up by Han Qian, as if an independent courtyard, not only as a warehouse, but also to make it the core base of the secret Cao Zuosi in the city.

At present, the lime and bricks produced by the workshop are mainly transported into the city and distributed here.

The fleet from Xuzhou, after docking at the warehouse, can distribute the goods to the city through the warehouse, which is much more abundant than before.

Some of the goods that will be sold in Jinling City, such as medicinal herbs, tea, copper and ironware, and even more precious gold and silver ware, jade, rhino horn and ivory, are directly unloaded into the warehouse in Tieli Lane, while other bulk goods such as grain, bacon, leather, and iron will continue to stay on the ship, and Han Qian plans to wait for tomorrow to send these to the cantonment military government.

The Dragon Bird Army and the Cantonment Military Government are still difficult to produce and self-sufficient in food and meat, and iron, leather, and the good wood used to make bows are also urgently needed by the Cantonment Military Government at this time.

There is no need for the Xinchang Marquis Mansion and the Late Red Mansion to mention it, Han Qian also knows very well in his heart that if he can't reduce the pressure on the military government in the cantonment camp to a certain extent in this regard, Li Pu and them are full of food and support, and they are so strong to support his father to go out of Xuzhou, and he also connived at him to use the power of the secret Cao Zuosi to escort his father to the post and help his father gain a foothold in Xuzhou?

There is no free lunch in the world, and the problem now is that Han Qian is worried that the appetite of the Marquis of Xinchang Mansion and the Late Red Mansion is too great.

The third prince, Yang Yuanpu, sent people to wait in Lanting Lane in the afternoon, not to mention, he had just unloaded the boat here, and sent two people to ask him in a row, asking Han Qian to take everyone to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion for a banquet.

There are Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng on the side of the warehouse, Guo Nuer and Lin Zongjing are also incorporated into the boat gang, they will not have any problems guarding Wuli Lane, and a large number of shipwrights and sailors are escorted, and they are also responsible for temporary placement, Han Qian accompanied Li Zhihe, Feng Yi, Kong Xirong, and Yang Qin, Zhao Wuji, Feng Xuan, Feng Zhang, Gao Bao and others to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion for a banquet.

If the situation in Jinling City can be stabilized all the time, Han Qian does not want to make any big moves in Xuzhou, but is more willing to use the benefits of commerce and trade to win over the four surnames and even the Tujia forces in the upper reaches of Yuanshui, and finally maintain the stability of Chenxu and other prefectures and promote the integration of the Tukshu people.

In the letter to the third prince Yang Yuanpu, Han Qian also repeatedly emphasized this concept.

And in terms of the current situation, even if it is to paralyze the vigilance of the four surnames, Han Qian also plans to treat Feng Zhang, who represents the four surnames to escort the ship into Jinling.

In addition to taking Feng Zhang and others to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion for a banquet, he also instructed Fan Dahei and Lin Haizheng to entertain Feng Zhang's subordinates who they brought out directly from Jingyun Village, and even took them to the high-quality and inexpensive brothel village to see the boundless customs of Jinling City.

Changing boats and horses, everyone rushed to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion when it was dark.

Before Han Qian and the others got off the horse, they saw the third prince Yang Yuanpu and couldn't wait to step out of the gate, Guo Rong, Chen De, Chai Jian, Li Chong and others even if they were unwilling, they could only accompany Yang Yuanpu out of the gate of the Hou Mansion to greet Han Qian.

"Han Qian has seen His Highness!" Han Qian hurriedly trotted to the steps of the gate of the Hou Mansion with Li Zhihe and others, and saluted the third prince Yang Yuanpu.

"After a few months, I have been thinking about you all the time, thinking that you will go to Xuzhou in the wilderness, you will not adapt to the water and soil, and you will definitely lose a lot of weight when you come back, I mentioned this to Zhihe a few days ago, thinking that your return is near, and I specially asked Yao Niang to buy some tonic medicine in the past two days......" Yang Yuanpu walked down the steps, hugged Han Qian's arm, and said happily and excitedly.

People are not plants and trees, they will not be ruthless, Han Qian listened to Yang Yuanpu's sincere words, and he was also quite excited.

Looking at the months after a few months, Yang Yuanpu has grown a little taller, not even shorter than Feng Yi, Guo Rong and others, his body is much stronger, his skin is dark, it can be seen that he has not slackened in the slightest this summer, and the palm holding his arm is also calloused, Han Qian couldn't help but think, if he can really work together, he may not have a chance!

Han Qian also looked at Yang Yuanpu several times before jokingly saying: "Your Highness is disappointed to see Han Qian raised in Xuzhou?" ”

Yang Yuanpu lived in the deep palace, and he could be said to be frightened all day long when he was a child, and he could also feel the fear of his mother's deep bone marrow - he didn't know much about the situation in Xuzhou at first, but during this time, he made a special trip to listen to Shen Yang talk about the poor mountains and bad waters in the southwest states, the fierce folk customs and the continuation of the government of nearly a thousand years, so he knew more deeply how difficult it was to enter Xuzhou and want to gain a foothold and make a difference.

And now, Han Qian not only came back, but also invited the native surname to escort ten ships of goods to Jinling, so that the secretary Cao Zuo Si Caochuang showed extraordinary strength, so that the secret power directly controlled by Zhao Mingting, the staff secretary, was frustrated again and again, how could Yang Yuanpu not be excited?

Yang Yuanpu has been accustomed to too many intrigues and intrigues since he was a child, and he is used to seeing too many scheming calculations, and since he is afraid of the secret power in the hands of the Ministry Division or the Secretary Cao Zuosi, he has a natural desire to master it for his own use.

Han Qian gave him the gift he had prepared for the three princes this time, which was a scaly short sword with ivory as the handle, meteorite iron as the sword body, and crocodile skin as the sheath, and then greeted Guo Rong, Chen De, Chai Jian, Li Chong and others.

Chen De thought that Han Qian was stained with his father's light, and stood in front of the steps and snorted.

Chai Jian was very wary of Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son, but he also had to admit that Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son had a trick plan, at least there was no way to take them from the Anning Palace for the time being.

Li Chong's mood was much more complicated, and Guo Rong stood there even more stiffly.

The Anning Palace is a family, and the power can tilt towards the government and the opposition, Guo Rong never thought that he would be helped by the father and son to help the three princes to become a dragon sparrow army, and he, as the person who stared at the three princes all day long, was unaware and completely kept in the dark.

Although the Anning Palace did not exchange him from the third prince, Guo Rong guessed that it was just a temporary recklessness that angered His Majesty, and he himself felt ashamed and burdened.

After that, Zhao Mingting's deployment of Han Daoxun to take office, Guo Rong was not allowed to know the secret, but he knew Zhao Mingting's methods and the ruthlessness of Anning Palace, and he would definitely not really sit back and watch Han Daoxun go out of Xuzhou and become a big official.

Although Guo Rong was snubbed by Ning'an Palace, and there was no first-hand news about many things, he also knew that Zhao Mingting had used a lot of means on Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father and son in the past four months.

And more publicly, it can be seen that Zhao Mingting and Han Daoxun's father and son are fighting fiercely, mainly two things.

One is the Yangtan Shuizhai case played in Jiangzhou, which testified that the bandit leader plotted to assassinate the new assassin, and Jiangzhou sent troops to clean up his village, but after Han Daoxun took office in Xuzhou, he wrote to ask for credit for the bandit leader, saying that the main culprits in the Yangtan Shuizhai case had lost their way and returned when they robbed them, and they also made meritorious contributions to the crime, escorted them all the way, and fought and killed the Jiang bandits several times.

Another thing is that Han Daoxun and Han Qian's father went to Xuzhou on the night of the state prison to make trouble, and 17 officials and jailers were killed and 147 prisoners were suppressed because of the howling in one night.

This is a big case that shocks the world no matter where it is placed, but in the end, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Yushitai did not send officials to Xuzhou for verification, so they completely accepted Han Daoxun's statement, and let these two things pass peacefully.

Guo Rong didn't know if there was something in the hands of Han Daoxun's father and son on the side of Anning Palace, and he didn't want to remove the lid, or His Majesty personally signaled the ministry to deal with it like this.

In short, these two major cases that should have caused an uproar have passed.

Today, when Han Qian returned to Jinling with this large-scale fleet, everyone could confirm that Han Daoxun had gained a foothold in Xuzhou, a place where the situation was extremely complicated and the king's fate was difficult to reach.

The second time he sent Han Qian to come over to the banquet, the little eunuch in Tsing Yi was the person next to Guo Rong, who ran back one step earlier and told him about the situation when ten big ships loaded with goods docked at the Shitang River wharf, he couldn't help but think: Is it possible, the third prince really has some hope?

Of course, seeing the three princes actually go out of the house to greet them, the most excited in their hearts were Yang Qin, Gao Bao and others.

They followed Han Qian openly or secretly, all of them were forced by the situation, but even if there was no way to choose, they were also worried. They knew how great the danger was, but they were worried about the future that Han Qian promised them, which was just a flower in the water and a moon in the well.

Seeing that with the respect of the three princes, they all went out of the mansion to greet them, and they really believed that the young master Han Qian really had the possibility to promise them a bright future.

Even if the future is full of dangers, the thought that once the three princes succeed in the succession, they will bring them gains that they never dreamed of before, it also lifts their spirits......

Feng Xuan was calmer.
