Wang Dengku's back and forth can be said to have helped Ye Xun a lot, in the capital, Ye Xun is an outsider after all, and it is almost impossible to dispose of so many valuables in a short time.

Watching Hu Jiucheng take away several large boxes of jewelry, calligraphy and paintings, Ye Xun couldn't help but sigh that he could finally do something else.

The mansion that Xu Xianchun gave him, all the housekeepers and maids in it were prepared, and the brothers brought from Tieling were not familiar with the place, and some things could not be done at all.

The housekeeper is also surnamed Ye, no need to ask, it must have been specially found by Xu Xianchun, as for whether this person is Jinyiwei's eyeliner, it remains to be seen, but this possibility is not great, after all, Ye Xun is not often in the capital.

Hearing that Ye Xun called him, Steward Ye hurried over, Ye Xun had too many private matters, and he had explained it when he first arrived, without his order, no one was allowed to enter the second courtyard, and the gate of the courtyard was guarded by soldiers from Tieling Guard, and others could not enter at all.

He has been busy with various things in the past few days, and it is not until this moment that Ye Xun has time to carefully observe this family.

At the age of about fifty, he is a little thin, has a public face, and feels good, he should be a very simple and scheming person.

"Steward Ye, right? Hehe! Yes, five hundred years ago it was one, and in three days I will go to Liaodong, and I will leave it to you here."

Steward Ye hurriedly said: "Master, you are too polite, I have long heard that you killed Tartars in Liaodong, you are a big hero, I didn't expect you to be so kind, it is a blessing for a villain to be able to serve the master"

"I haven't been back to the capital for a long time, and I don't know much about the situation in the capital, so you can help me book a better restaurant in a while, and then send me two invitations."

Ye Xun has been polite to him since he entered Beijing, whether it is Xu Xianchun or Sun Lun, although he also knows that the two of them are not so simple, but they still have to get by in terms of etiquette, so Ye Xun is ready to invite the two of them to have a meal, and by the way, he is preparing some gifts, he will not be in the capital in the future, and it will definitely be indispensable to use their place.

The housekeeper agreed, and seeing that Ye Xun had no other instructions, he hurriedly turned around and walked away quickly, Liang Zhen had already prepared silver taels for him outside.

Of course, Ye Xun can't be stingy with his housekeeper, and when he is not there, the housekeeper has to run such a big house for him, so he can get less silver, for this reason, Ye Xun has prepared five thousand taels of silver for the housekeeper for him to use.

After finishing this matter, there is one last thing left to do, this matter was improvised by Ye Xun, that is, to hire some craftsmen who are proficient in firearms manufacturing and blacksmithing.

Liaodong is in ruins, and what is most lacking is talent in all aspects, especially in the field of weapon development.

And craftsmen generally have a low status in this era, Ye Xun believes that although there are frequent wars in Liaodong, as long as he opens enough chips to make people excited, there will still be people who will go.

In fact, this matter can be mentioned to Wanli, but Ye Xun has added too much trouble to Wanli in just a few days, which makes Ye Xun embarrassed to speak.

It's not that Ye Xun's face is thin, it's really that Wanli didn't give him any more time to put forward any conditions, so he drove him out.

There was no way, Ye Xun had to think of it himself.

Under normal circumstances, the departments that manufacture weapons are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War, and there is also a special arsenal in the capital, but Ye Xun has been in Beijing for too short a time, and he has no time to contact the officials who manage these departments.

Where do you start?

Just as he was pondering, he saw Liang Zhen striding in.

"Father-in-law, there is a person who claims to be an old subordinate of the Fang Pavilion who asks to see him outside the door"

Listening to Liang Zhen's words, Ye Xun was slightly stunned, isn't Old Fang Ge Fang Congzhe? What is he looking for me for? I don't think I know him well!

Ye Xun knew that although Yang Hao's waste was recommended by Fang Congzhe, Fang Congzhe was not a corrupt official, and he had been struggling to support the cabinet alone.

It's amazing to say, in the last years of Wanli, the dignified Ming Cabinet, there is really only Fang Congzhe alone, not how capable the old party is, but Wanli doesn't send him helpers at all, and his resignation is not allowed, obviously he wants to play the rhythm of the old party alive.

After Ye Xun arrived in Beijing, he only saw Fang Congzhe once in Wanli's study, and he didn't even say a word, but he didn't know what he was looking for himself.

Except for Xu Xianchun, the big head of the brocade guard, Ye Xun did not plan to have any relationship with any court officials this time, but Fang Congzhe was the head of the court after all, and the people he sent could not be seen.

Immediately asked Liang Zhen to invite people in, and at the same time called two maids in the front yard, anyway, everything that should be dealt with was done, and these chores still didn't work for their own soldiers.

There was not much time, and an old man who looked like a housekeeper followed Liang Zhen and walked in quickly, and after seeing Ye Xun, he bowed down and said, "The villain has seen Ye Gonggong"

Ye Xun nodded and said, "Are you Fang Shoufu's family?" But Fang Shoufu wants to find me? ”

The old man nodded and said, "Today, my lord will immediately order the villain to invite his father-in-law to come over the house."

Although he guessed it, Ye Xun was still a little strange, why did Fang Congzhe suddenly want to find him, could it be because of Zheng Chuang?

"Did Elder Fang Ge say what to recruit me to?"

The old man shook his head and said, "The villain doesn't know, the old man only said that Grandpa Ye is going back to Liaodong, and there are some things I want to talk to Grandpa Ye."

What to talk about? Do you still want me to help Yang Ho speak? That waste made Da Ming lose hundreds of thousands of troops at once, and he still wanted to get away with it, how shameless this person must be.

Of course, Ye Xun couldn't say these words to a subordinate, anyway, they made an appointment with Xu Xianchun in the evening, and now there was still time, and after explaining, he took two guards and followed the old man to Fang Congzhe's mansion.

In fact, Ye Xun is a little wronged Fang Congzhe, in fact, he hates Yang Hao more than anyone else, but there is no way, this involves partisan disputes, if he doesn't save it, the officials of the lower Zhejiang Party will isolate him, and when the time comes, the emperor will oppress him, and there will be colleagues who will be disobeyed, and that will really kill him.

Fang Congzhe didn't want to engage in any party fighting, but the entire court was like this, and it was not something that person could control at all.

And the reason why Fang Congzhe wanted to find Ye Xun could be said to be completely out of a public heart, and at the same time, he also wanted to see what kind of person this little Ye Gonggong was.

Because of the relationship between Wanli, the relationship between the eunuchs and the ministers was harmonious, so Fang Congzhe, the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty, did not despise Ye Xun because of his status as a eunuch.

It is said that the nobles go out in a lot of wind and rain, and the sky is still clear in the morning, but when Ye Xun goes out, it suddenly becomes gloomy.

It was the middle of April, and although the earth had melted, the weather was still relatively cold, and it seemed that a rain was coming.

Ye Xun didn't know the poetry that came out of it, and whispered to the sky: "Spring rain is as expensive as oil, let's go down, let's go down!" ”

Before the words fell, a sharp light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and he swept to the side of the road...
