On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Lin Yuyan returned to Wancheng, because it was approaching the New Year's Pass, so the atmosphere of the traders in Wancheng was also strong, and he returned all the way from Shanglin Yuan, Xiao Chang'an Ju and Nanzheng Ju have set up checkpoints, I don't know if it is because of the crowding and riots in Wancheng to prevent the New Year's Pass, or the news of the war in the south has spread to Wancheng.

However, after entering Wancheng, Lin Yuyan found that no matter how much gossip from the outside world was, the atmosphere of the New Year in Wancheng became more and more intense, after all, Wancheng did not even beat the Jin Han clan, one of the strongest men in the Central Plains, which shows that it is strong, and as for the Red Turban Army in Deng Kingdom, they don't need to worry about it.

Wen Xiangheng and Chun Yuqi had already gone back to Gongziyan's mansion to pack up, and as soon as Lin Yuyan returned to the mansion, Wen Xiangheng brought over several large boxes of bamboo slips: "Your Highness, this is sent by Liangqiu, Changgu of Nanyang Academy, Heng has seen it, and most of them are related to the fonts commonly used in Wuguo." ”

When Lin Yuyan heard this, he took a bamboo slip in his hand, glanced at it, and then said to Wen Xiangheng: "These bamboo slips are the words used by Gu Liangshi to convene the literati of the Wu Kingdom, "Shuo Wen Jie Zi", I am afraid that there is still no one who has to intervene in the state minister Baili Huai and the right minister Ming Zifu, after all, they are the descendants of the Nanyang Academy in the court. ”

Wen Xiangheng reminded: "Your Highness is cautious about the dispute between the factions of the court......

Lin Yuyan put down the bamboo slip and said: "It's not a factional dispute, but the minister of state and the right minister are from Nanyang Academy, although they seem to be in a high position now, but they are also constrained by the power of the old clan everywhere, relatively, they are not on the same side, this "Saying Wen Jie Zi" is a good opportunity to write a book and make Nanyang Academy shine, even if it is the minister of state, Baili Huai, I am afraid it is more or less taken care of, Gu Liangshi alone can not gather so many people. ”

Wen Xiangheng stepped forward and asked people to put the bamboo slips in place: "Your Highness, this matter is indeed the intervention of a guest from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but after all, it is a major event that benefits the entire Wu Kingdom, and it is understandable that you want to do your best." ”

"Hmm......" Lin Yuyan nodded, and then ordered: "Sort this one gradually according to the number of strokes in the first word, and then send it to Mangkhut Village, ten miles east of the city, where there is a paper mill and a printing factory, and let Kong Xuan, who is in charge, hurry up to carve live clay characters and typeset and print." ”

Hearing this, although Wen Xiangheng did not know what it was to engrave live clay characters and typeset printing, he also guessed a synopsis, and he did not need to be responsible for these things, he just needed to put these bamboo slips in place and send them to Mangkhut Village to hand them over to Kong Xuan, so Wen Xiangheng should also be ordered.

Then Lin Yuyan said: "Is there anything else going on in the house?" ”

Wen Xiangheng handed out a piece of paper and replied: "It's approaching the end of the year, and you need to prepare a New Year's gift, this is a list drafted by Heng, Your Highness will see if it's suitable......"

Lin Yuyan took the paper and glanced at it, there were nearly a hundred names in front of him, and the things to be sent afterwards were also different, some valuable and some light, and said: "Wen Qing, these are not needed, the people on the second emperor's brother's side, just prepare a New Year's gift for him, old guy, just prepare the dry goods and wild things brought back by Shanglin Yuan, as for the palace, I have to prepare a little thoughtful thing for my mother Jiang, don't consider whether it is precious or not, as for my father, he is rich in the four realms of the martial arts, what is missing, Simply send a few civilian labor paintings from Lin Yuan, just use this paper...... Others just don't want to be extravagant! ”

Hearing this, Wen Xiangheng also nodded, and then responded to Lin Yuyan, although he felt a little different, but thinking of his Royal Highness's temperament, it was not good to say anything.

Lin Yuyan said again: "By the way, write me a letter asking to enter the palace tomorrow, I haven't seen my mother Jiang and those brothers for a long time, and I miss it a little!" ”

"Well, this matter will be handled immediately." Wen Xiangheng nodded, and then asked, "After a long journey, is Your Highness going to rest?" ”

Lin Yuyan didn't feel tired, so he waved his hand, "Don't worry, I need to visit the Right Prime Minister's Mansion today, and there are still a lot of people missing in the foundry." ”

Although the foundry has craftsmen recruited by the second emperor's brother Gongzixin, they are not ordinary craftsmen, there are very few craftsmen like Lu Feng, and the training is too slow now, after all, a real master craftsman is created with a lot of time and exercise, and this is difficult for the foundry to meet, so Lin Yuyan hit the idea to the side of the Soldier Casting Bureau.

After all, there are two major foundry bases under the jurisdiction of the Arsenal Foundry Bureau, the former Boshan Foundry is to create weapons, and the latter Wancheng Foundry is also developing higher-end casting skills, for example, Lin Yuyan learned that the foundry has mastered the technology of [Eight Wrought Iron] and began to develop in the direction of [Nine Wrought Iron].

Wen Xiangheng answered, and went down to prepare for the carriage.

Wancheng is not big, but it is the establishment of the city of three miles and the establishment of the Guo of Seven Miles, and the cities gathered around Shangshu Mansion predicted by Lin Yuyan will reach a radius of ten miles, and they will all replace Wancheng's function as the economic center of the Wuguo.

Ming Zifu's mansion is not far from the Prime Minister's Mansion, neither of them lives in the central area of Wancheng, it is a bit remote, and the Shen Mansion of Zuo Xiang Shen, who was born in the old clan, is closer to the palace.

This is the world of difference between commoners and old clans.

The reason why Lin Yuyan rushed to Ming Zifu's mansion today was to learn that Ming Zifu, the right minister, was Xiu Mu today.

The right prime minister's mansion of the right prime minister Ming Zifu does not have many doormen, and it can be compared to the national prime minister's mansion with nearly 100 monks, or even the left minister's mansion with three or four hundred monks, which is undoubtedly inferior.

This is also due to the fact that the right minister Ming Zifu is in charge of the household and the work, and the work doctor is a self-contained system under the rule of the doctor, and it is impossible for the right minister to take the door to the military casting bureau to fight, and what he does is nothing more than the OEM doctor to hand over to the court and ask for money and food.

As for the household doctor Su Ke, he was born in an old clan, and he raised more customers than Ming Zifu.

Therefore, Akiko is also happy about this.

Ming Zifu is not like the Minister of State Baili Huai and the Left Prime Minister Shen Case, he often stays in the palace office, and if he has nothing to do on weekdays, he will return to the house directly, and as for Xiu Mu, it is even more impossible to be tired.

This is not a vegetarian meal for Ming Zifu's corpse, according to Lin Yuyan's knowledge, this right minister is good at arithmetic, and he was once the right minister who was named when it was difficult for the martial kingdom to Jin and Han, raising food and grass in the south, and gathering volunteers for meritorious service.

At the same time, the right prime minister Ming Zifu is also the only superior of the former state minister [Wuguo Transformation], which is also the reason why the right minister has not been visible for so many years, and the left and right have been in the source.

Most of the guests of the right minister Ming Zifu are also court guests, so he knows Lin Yuyan, and when he sees Lin Yuyan's car, he sends someone in to report.

As soon as Lin Yuyan went up the steps of the right prime minister's mansion, he was allowed to enter.

Originally, Ming Zifu was still sitting in the hall, chatting with all the guests, and when he heard that the sixth son of the emperor was coming, he dismissed all the guests, stood up and walked out of the door, and greeted the sixth son in person.

Watching Ming Zifu come in a hurry, Lin Yuyan said in his heart, this right minister is really different from the rigor of the national minister Baili Huai, and the rigor of the left minister Shen.

"Why did His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince of the Emperor come to my house today, it's really strange, Your Highness, please come inside." Ming Zifu said with a smile.

This right minister is not offended by anyone on weekdays, and if he can sell a favor to others, he will sell it, even if Lin Yuyan and this right minister do not have a deep relationship, they can also feel the kindness released by this right minister to him in the court.

"Right Xiang, I can't hide it, today Yan came to disturb, I really have something to ask for." Lin Yuyan is also straight to the point.

"Oh? …… Your Highness, please, if you have anything to say, go in and talk about it. Ming Zifu looked left and right, said so, and then asked his subordinates to prepare tea.

Entering the hall, Ming Zifu arranged for Lin Yuyan to sit down, and then said: "His Royal Highness has been out of the cabinet for only half a year, and the movement is not small. ”

"Hmm......" As soon as Ming Zifu's words fell, Lin Yuyan understood the meaning of Ming Zifu's words, and advised himself to act cautiously.

"In that case...... Your Highness, please tell me what is the matter? Ming Zifu flicked his sleeves and asked Lin Yuyan.

"Borrow."

"Borrow?!" Ming Zifu smiled, and then asked, "I don't know who is a guest in my mansion who can actually enter His Highness's eyes...... Your Highness, please speak. ”

"It's not a doorman from the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, but a craftsman from the Arsenal Bureau." Lin Yuyan replied.

Hearing this, Ming Zifu smiled bitterly and said, "This... Your Highness, I'm afraid...... I can't hide it from Your Highness, Doctor Gong and Doctor Hu Keqi are all self-contained, I just handed over the court from the middle, and the War Casting Bureau is under the rule of Doctor Gong, and I haven't interfered too much......"

"But ......" Ming Zifu changed his words and said: "It is not a problem for His Highness to come and go to ask for a few people from the War Casting Bureau, I will repair a letter to His Highness, even if I don't give face, His Highness Gongzi Xin still has face!" ”

Second Emperor Brother?

Lin Yuyan frowned, and even he didn't know why he hoped that this matter would not be mixed with the shadow of the second emperor brother.

After thinking about it, Lin Yuyan still said: "Then please ask the right minister to repair a letter, I will go to the War Casting Bureau in a hurry." ”

"Good!" Immediately, Ming Zifu repaired a letter and handed it to Lin Yuyan.

Lin Yuyan took the letter and said to Ming Zifu: "Today is not to disturb the right minister." ”

"Your Highness, go slowly!"

"Farewell!"

Ming Zifu asked people to send Lin Yuyan, and after a long time, a figure came out of the inner room, and asked Ming Zifu: "Good man (husband, lady), this is the sixth son of the emperor?" ”

"Hmm...... It's a prince with a free and easy temperament......" Akiko also commented.

"Love, now that Thorn Yang seems to have the appearance of the original reform, why did the lover delay in making a move?"

"Thorn Yang is too small, the small one is like a lonely boat on the ocean, it will capsize if there is a slight wind and waves, and that Han Kui is indeed a virtuous person, and it is more than enough to lead the position of Lin Yuan Shangshuling......"

"And I'......" Ming Zifu slowly raised his head, looking at the school in the courtyard outside the house, the burning meaning in his eyes seemed to be to melt the winter cold, "After all, it is for the martial arts, for the last wish of the master, and for myself, to stabilize the center of the whirlpool of the court......"
