Zhang Weixian glanced at Zeng Xingwu, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't have anything to explain, but you did summon me before leaving, and Your Majesty still misses Master Zeng very much." ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Weixian suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty is very concerned about the safety of Lord Zeng, and also instructed me to see Lord Zeng write a letter back to Beijing to report the safety of Lord Zeng, and if there is anything, I will try my best to help Lord Zeng." ”

Although Zhang Weixian said it very seriously and seriously, Zeng Xingwu was still very embarrassed.

Obviously, he hasn't played since he left Beijing, let alone wrote a letter to the emperor.

It's a tantrum!

Of course, Zeng Xingwu did this as a performance, a manifestation of dissatisfaction with the emperor, and more of a manifestation of "noisy children have milk to eat". However, Zhang Weixian saw through it, Zeng Xingwu was so old, so he was naturally a little embarrassed.

Zhang Weixian didn't care, he hadn't seen anything, and he had heard of the yellow jokes written to the emperor in the fold. Zeng Xingwu's behavior is just a small matter, his grandfather once said that when monarchs and ministers get along, sometimes they are really like husband and wife.

"Lord Zeng, I think it's more appropriate for Lord Zeng to write this letter himself!" Zhang Weixian said this lightly and stopped talking.

Zeng Xingwu is also an old man in the officialdom, and the embarrassment is only a momentary thing, and at this time he said with a touched face: "Your Majesty is so lenient and caring for the courtiers, it really makes the old man ashamed." ”

"The virtuous nephew is reasonable!" Zeng Xingwu sighed and said: "Let Your Majesty worry, it's not the way to be a minister, I'll write a song to ask Your Majesty for guilt!" ”

Seeing Zeng Xingwu eagerly running to write a recital, Zhang Weixian sighed helplessly. Before I came to the northwest, my grandfather told me not to be strong in everything, just watch.

Unless there is nothing but rebellion in the Northwest, other things have nothing to do with you, and you must not get involved.

At the time, I was still a little unconvinced, but now it seems that I should stay honest! These old guys are every good stubble, and their faces are thick and black. It's really far from fighting with them by yourself, Zhang Weixian sighed in his heart: I still have to practice!

In the afternoon of the same day, the people who went out to arrest people began to return to Datong Mansion in groups.

The Ming troops in various places were also under martial law, and they were not allowed to leave the camp without orders, and the governor's yamen and the general army's yamen also sent people to various guard posts to begin to stabilize the situation. Although the commotion was very strong, there was no chaos.

The border town is different from other places, and there are no scholars and students here, so the so-called public opinion does not exist.

There are battles here all day long, and everyone has seen dead people, and they have a deep understanding of the way to survive, and their heads that are not deep are gone. In addition, after all, it is a military town, and military law is practiced, and the discipline of the people here is better than that of other places.

Zeng Xingwu looked at the file in his hand and began to prepare for the public trial, which was brought to him by Zhang Cheng, saying that it was taught by the emperor.

"Hold public trial conferences in various places, hold criticism meetings, and then publicly announce the verdict." Zeng Xingwu looked at the charter and began to ponder, Zeng Xingwu was very interested in these things, and he seemed to be very serious.

In the back, the role of the public trial conference in rallying people's hearts and calming the morale of the military is explained in detail.

At the same time, he also put forward small punishments and big admonitions for other officers who have not been investigated, most of them are fines and the like, and it is not appropriate to appease at this time, but to punish. Because punishment means that things are over, and if you don't punish them, it will make people worry.

"The past is not to blame!" Zeng Xingwu saw a few words written by Zhu Yijun and sighed.

As a matter of fact, the entire border army has very serious problems, and this purge is only a serious purge, but this will inevitably cause panic in the hearts of the people and uncertainty in the army. Through the small punishment and the big admonition in the future, it can be regarded as completely calming the hearts of the people and the army, which is conducive to the subsequent military reform.

Zeng Xingwu put down the strip in his hand and began to think about what to do.

Zhang Cheng and Ma Lu also walked in from outside at this time, and the two of them were dusty, and they seemed to be tired. However, both of them were in good spirits, and it was obvious that the matter was done, and the two of them were greatly relieved.

"Come on, serve tea!" Zeng Xingwu stood up with a smile and said loudly.

"Thank you, sir!" Ma Lu bowed and said, Zhang Cheng on the side was not so polite, sat on the chair, and said with a smile: "But we are tired to death, and the rest will be handed over to Lord Zeng!" ”

Zeng Xingwu nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Gonggong Zhang, no problem." ”

Yamen of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Li Zhongxing, who had been busy all day, also sat on the chair to rest at this time, drinking tea with every sip. In front of him is also a note, a "on the establishment of Datong wool base" Chen.

This thing was also obtained by Li Zhongxing from the emperor, and it recorded the general idea of establishing a wool spinning base.

Since leaving the capital, Li Zhongxing has been studying this, and it can be said that he has benefited a lot. In Li Zhongxing's view, this is simply a genius idea, if His Majesty is in business, he must be the number one businessman in the world.

Of course, Li Zhongxing only dared to think about this kind of thought, saying that no one could say it.

"Dad, let's eat something!"

Li Xi walked in from outside, holding a dinner plate in his hand, and several dishes were placed on it, all of which were Li Zhongxing's favorite meals.

Seeing his son come in, Li Zhongxing smiled, and then said, "Put it down!" Have you eaten? ”

"The child has already eaten it!" Li Xi agreed, began to serve Li Zhongxing to eat, picked up the wine jug and brought a glass for Li Zhongxing, and then said: "The flower carving in the south of the Yangtze River, the child has been scalded, and the father uses some to relieve fatigue." ”

Looking at the pot of wine, Li Zhongxing didn't feel strange, in the Northwest trade, wine and tea have always been a big item, picked up the wine glass and drank a glass, Li Zhongxing said with a smile: "Not bad, very good!" ”

After drinking, Li Zhongxing, who was in a good mood, chatted with his son again and slept comfortably.

Early the next morning, Li Zhongxing got up early in the morning, and just after breakfast, the people below came to report, saying that it was Cao Yuan, the secretary of the Xuanda Taxation Department, who asked to see him. Although he didn't have much to do with the tax department, Li Zhongxing knew that these were difficult things.

Not to mention those people who came out of the inner factory, there is no one to mess with in the accounting office of the tax department alone.

I have heard some rumors about this Li Zhongxing, it is said that there was a special training place in Wuqingbo's Mansion at the beginning, that place has existed for more than ten years, and there are many masters in it, and now that place has fallen into the hands of His Majesty.

Many of the accounts of the tax department in this area come from that place, which is very mysterious, but the strength is extraordinary. In fact, Li Zhongxing has also seen that the accounts of the tax department are much stronger than those of the internal affairs department.

"Please!" Although I don't know what the tax department is doing here, Li Zhongxing can still see it.

There are many yamen in the court, but there are not many who are personally taken care of by the emperor, and their own internal affairs office is one, and the tax department is also one. As for his status, Li Zhongxing felt that he was not as good as the tax department.

Cao Yuan is a man in his forties, with a strong figure, wearing a civil official's official uniform on his body, how awkward it looks.

With his big cake face, it makes people feel a little funny, but Li Zhongxing doesn't think so, the moment he saw Cao Yuan, Li Zhongxing instantly determined that this Cao Yuan must be from the inner factory.

"Cao Yuan, the tax department of Xuanda, has seen Manager Li!" Cao Yuan was very polite and said with a smile.

Li Zhongxing nodded, and then said, "Lord Cao, please take a seat!" After serving tea, Li Zhongxing said, "Lord Cao came over this time?" ”

"Xia Guan came here this time to discuss something with Master Li!" Cao Yuan's tone was very light, but the words he said were not light: "What does our tax department do, presumably Lord Li also knows that I came here this time to discuss tax collection with Lord Li." ”

Get!

Li Zhongxing knew that it would not be a good thing for the tax department to come, and now there are people in charge of the tax department who call debt collectors.

Cao Yuan didn't care what Li Zhongxing thought, and continued: "This time, the mutual market and woolen mills in Datong City are an opportunity, and our tax department is ready to implement a new commercial tax here, which can be regarded as a pilot." ”

"Of course, Lord Li can rest assured, this is not the tax department's arbitrary assertions, we have already played the imperial court, and received the emperor's holy decree. Part of this is related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and part of it is related to the Governor's Office. ”

Li Zhongxing's words were choked back, and the emperor's decree was more effective than anything else.

"Then Lord Cao, how does the Internal Affairs Office need to cooperate?" Li Zhongxing said directly.

"Very short!" Cao Yuan said with a smile: "Our tax department will implement a business license in Datong Mansion, and all businessmen who come to Datong City to do business must register a business certificate." The Ministry of Internal Affairs has established a large market and a woolen base, and our tax department will take the lead in implementing commercial taxation in these two places. ”

Li Zhongxing nodded, and then said, "Okay, are there anything else?" ”

"It's gone!" Cao Yuan shook his head, and then added: "The rest is also a matter for our tax department!" ”

In fact, both Cao Yuan and Li Zhongxing know that things are definitely not as simple as they say, of course, they can only say it now, after all, nothing has started yet. However, seeing Cao Yuan's smiling big cake face, Li Zhongxing felt that it was no good thing.

"This official is going to the Governor's Mansion to meet with Lord Zeng to discuss the establishment of a large market and a woolen base." Li Zhongxing looked at Cao Yuan and said, "Do you want Lord Cao to come along?" ”

"Of course!" Cao Yuan smiled and nodded: "Xia Guan is also going to the Governor's Mansion." ”

Anyway, sooner or later, there will be a tripartite consultation, and Li Zhongxing is also sincerely invited, seeing that Cao Yuan agreed, he nodded, stood up and walked outside.

Governor's Yamen.

Zeng Xingwu listened to the report of the people below, smiled bitterly and sighed, he is so busy now, he doesn't know what the hell the Internal Affairs Office and the Tax Department are doing at this time.
