Chapter 517: Counting is Counting

"Zhang Fengpan's guarantee is uneasy and kind, and the prince will never go!" Zhang Shunqing immediately turned her face when she heard the news, a pair of beautiful Danfeng eyes were slightly raised, and the anger in an instant was so frightened that Sister Hu on the side screamed, and the embroidery needle was directly pierced on her finger, and the bright red blood beads stained the snow-white silk on her hand.

Zhang Shunqing glared at Sister Hu, and said to Fan Jin: "I have never seen blood before leaving the school, this is not a good sign, and it will be more and more unbearable." If you don't enter the three games, you can go to the battlefield with a good end. Those stupid soldiers need to get rich and noble immediately, and thinking about it is a dignified second-class inheritance, how can they use such means to get merit. Besides, my father-in-law Zhang Shunqing wants to be an official, why do I have to go to that bitter cold place to survive the time? Besides, I don't think he is kind to me, why did he drive you out of Beijing? Nowadays, there are a lot of places where you are used in the Jingshi, and Daddy also needs a person around him to coordinate the overall situation, and transferring you, the Prime Minister's Wisdom Tank, is like breaking Daddy's arm, which is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Fan Jin took Zhang Shunqing's hand and sat on the edge of the tooth bed, and said with a smile: "What Qingqing said is very true, my teacher's guarantee is a way to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle. Transferring me away from Old Tarzan first, this is still the first step. The second step is to let me go into Shanxi. That is the hometown of the teacher, Zhang, Ma, Yang, and Wang are intertwined, which can be called an impregnable wall, even if Da Luo Jinxian goes there, he has to cut the three flowers and scatter the five qi, and it is difficult to use the means of reaching the sky. ”

"What's more, there's the royal flag. The governor of Xuanda never had it, and when he retreated and played the flag, Zheng Fanxi was the first to be unhappy. Moreover, it is said that retreating to do patrol is to care for the officer, and then going with the royal order flag, it is tantamount to making it clear that he wants to attack the civil and military ministers of Xuanda, since Zheng Fanxi and below, I am afraid that no one likes to retreat. Although I have never been to Biansai, I have heard my father say that there are many arrogant soldiers on the nine sides, and it is not like the soldiers in the belly who obey the dispatch and mutiny and kill the officials at every turn. If they suspect that it is not good for them to retreat, what happens to them? ”

Sister Hu was in the fog of listening, in short, it was dangerous for Fan to go here, and she didn't care about being blamed, so she hurriedly said in local dialect: "If this trip is not peaceful, Brother Jin will not go." Just say a lie and prevaricate the past, or you will say that you are sick and can't move. ”

Zhang Shunqing glanced at her, "How many times have I told you, speaking official words!" Now you are also the aunt of the Fan family, and wherever you go, you are afraid that you will not be laughed to death. What kind of person is he who can be called sick when he thinks about it? I'll go back to my parents' house and make it clear to my father face to face, and I must not let my retreat be in danger. Not only that, but also to find out what Zhang Siwei's intentions are. ”

Fan Jin smiled, glanced at Sister Hu, and asked her to hurry out. At this time, staying in the room, he could only be scolded, and said to Zhang Shunqing: "What kind of person is Old Taishan, why can't you see my teacher's plan?" But it is precisely because I see it that I don't plan to refuse. will plan and lead the snake out of the hole, but I want to see what Zhang Fengpan's heart is? If a person never enters the game, he will never lose. But this time, he didn't arrange for others to do it, after all, this is a ready-made favor, and he can't see any flaws when he does it, and all the arrangements are for my good. If I messed up in Shanxi, it would be my own business, and I wouldn't do Zhang Fengpan's business, so I dared to say it in person. This is an opportunity, and if you miss this opportunity, it will not be easy to catch him again. ”

"That can't risk you!" Zhang Shunqing shook his head and said: "If you want to investigate Zhang Fengpan, there is a chance, as long as you send Liu Shou to visit with good intentions, and then ask Feng Shibo to put more thought into it, I am not afraid that I can't find out anything, and I can't fight for you!" ”

"If you don't enter the tiger's den, you will get the tiger. That's a secondary assistant, not a good character. Besides, Zhang Siwei is cautious, and if he wants to investigate, he may not be able to find any important evidence, and he will not be able to catch his handle when the time comes, and he will have no temper with him. I went to Shanxi this time, not only to take my body as bait, but also to check if I could find out something. Zhang Siwei is shrewd, it does not mean that his family is as shrewd as him, the more safe the place, the easier it is for people to be lazy. What Jingshi can't find, Shanxi may be able to find out. This place in Shanxi is the foundation of several families, and it is difficult for outsiders to exert their power in it, and if there is no suitable opportunity, Lao Taishan has nothing to do with them. Fortunately, I am on patrol this time, and I have the right to inspect the local military and civilian affairs, and I just happened to check whether these companies have any handles. If there is definite evidence that can be handed to Lao Taishan, I am not afraid that Zhang Siwei will not be cured! ”

Zhang Shunqing knew that what Fan Jin said made sense, but he still shook his head and said: "Anyone can do this, why do you have to take risks?" Daddy is not the only one under his family! ”

"But such a big thing cannot be done by non-cronies. Looking at the world, apart from me, which one can Taishan trust? If you dare to fight as the second assistant of the court, there is only me, the son-in-law, and the son-in-law is half a worker, and a few brothers-in-law can't do this, so I should be charging into battle. From the day I was with Qingqing, I knew that I should work harder than others, otherwise who would be worthy of you, the Nine Heavens Fairy? ”

Fan Jin pulled Zhang Shunqing into his arms as he spoke, the latter's face was slightly red, and the female Xiangguo, who was commanding in front of outsiders, turned into a finger twister at this time, at the mercy of the prime minister, and only said in a low voice: "I don't know how much time it will take for the prime minister to go here, can you know the pain of lovesickness for his wife?" ”

"I also know this, according to my thoughts, I want Qingqing to accompany me, but Xuanda is not as good as Jiangnan, but it is a bitter cold place. The wind knife and frost sword, I am afraid that I will hurt Qingqing's powdery jade skin. What's more, the side plug is not as good as the belly, if there is a military situation, I can't let Qingqing fall into danger. ”

Zhang Shunqing's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard this, "Xianggong's words reminded me." This time you go to Xuanda, and the concubine will accompany you. My father has friendships with Zhang Siwei, Ma Ziqiang and others, and I also have contacts with several female dependents, so I said that I would visit the world. As long as I am with Xianggong, those arrogant soldiers will not dare to be presumptuous, if they really encounter a military situation, in order to save me, those general soldiers and generals have to sacrifice their lives and forget their lives to save them, and they can't afford to push back and slack off on military affairs. ”

Her method is tantamount to taking herself as a hostage, and she wants Xuanda to be rude or contemptuous of her husband. Don't look at Zhang Shunqing as just a woman and has no authority, but the identity of Shoufu's beloved daughter is destined to be far more powerful than the royal flag. Failure to obey the king's order can only be regarded as a public matter, and offending the first and second daughters is a personal vendetta, and for a humane society, the latter is obviously more serious than the former. With her with him, the resources that Fan Jin can mobilize in Shanxi will be even more powerful.

The so-called virtuous and helpful people are not verbal praises, but real benefits. The help that a woman from a wealthy family can bring is best reflected at such a time.

Fan Jin still wanted to refuse, but Zhang Shunqing had already said categorically: "I have already decided on this matter, Xianggong doesn't need to say much, if you want to go, we will go together, or we won't go at all." You lived freely in Shangyuan like a fairy before, provoking the Song family to give birth to a son for you, if I don't look at you when I go to Datong this time, I don't know what kind of storm you are going to make. ”

Some words are not good to proclaim, but she has heard some female relatives say, Datong aunt is famous in the world, it is said that she has practiced sitting in the tank since she was a child, and her talent may not be as good as that of the southeast beauty, but there are few opponents in the world between the pillows. Fan Jin is a person who can't control himself, if he doesn't pay attention to it, if he brings a few Datong mothers-in-law back, wouldn't it be terrible?

She also knew that Fan Jin was worried about her safety, and reassured, "It's okay." Xue Wu and Liang both know martial arts and can be used as internal guard entourage, and I also have a few mothers-in-law who are good at guns and sticks at home who can accompany them, and they can take them with them. Besides, when the concubine body is gone, she will either go to a high-ranking family, or a border fortress, how can the captives break the city? Not to mention that I'm already dead, and if there are no heroes on the plug, who can break the side wall? In addition to these women, Zheng Chan's craftsmanship is good, and she also takes her with her to serve her husband's food, so you should be happy now, right? ”

The beautiful eyes turned, warm like water, and the beauty whispered: "These flowers in our garden are all with Xianggong, so don't climb those idle flowers and weeds, okay?" It's a big deal that I'm pretending to be blind, and I just can't see it when you go to steal those sluts, but you are not allowed to spend the night in their room, no matter how late it is, you have to come back and sleep next to me. ”

The next day, after Zhang Shunqing announced the arrangement, several women who were ordered were naturally happy, but Sister Hu lowered her head and tears rolled back and forth in her eyes. Of course, she knew that she had to keep someone to serve Fan's mother at home, and she was indeed the most suitable candidate. But when I thought that these women were all by Brother Jin's side, but I could only look at each other, my heart was full of pantothenic acid. But she is not a person who can fight and make trouble, she doesn't even dare to cry in front of people, she can only hold everything in her heart, and what she wants is to go back to the room to burn a few more pillars of incense, bless her lover to be safe, and bless herself to be able to conceive the Fan family before her husband leaves.

Zhang Siwei's chapter is up and then approved, and it always takes a time in the middle, what Fan Jin has to do at this time is to seize the time and prepare for his trip to Xuanda.

Those nobles who hope to get close to Fan Jin and embrace the Zhang family relationship or push Fan Jin out as a shield and march towards the salt field are Fan Jin's first arm. Most of these people have no brains, but they basically have common sense. Everyone knows that doing this kind of thing in the salt business will not be what they want to do, Fan Jin is willing to help, and it can be done in the next year or two. If it was really that easy, the salt merchants in Huaishang would have already become the sons of nobles or relatives of the emperor. From the plan to the specific implementation, there must be a process in between, so that Fan Jin will not stop supporting him because of his current work changes.

Moreover, the place where Fan Jin went this time was Shanxi, that is, the territory of the Western merchants in the salt merchants. For Xungui, there is no difference between Western merchants and Hui merchants, they are all sheep to be slaughtered. It would be a good thing if you could make a way out of the Western merchants and let yourself enter the salt industry. It was because Fan Jin just said where he was going next, and immediately someone rushed forward to help Fan Jin find a relationship.

The nobles in the Wanli period were far less powerful than their ancestors, but they could still find a reliable relationship in the army, and the so-called nobles standing aside was only relative to their status at the beginning of the country, which did not mean that they really had no influence. Jingying has always been the self-reserved place of the nobles, who doesn't eat hundreds of empty salaries and drink thousands of soldiers' blood? Making friends and installing a few private individuals in the army is just an idle matter.

If the border army wants to be rewarded with money and food, and if the officers want to be promoted, they need to find a strong backer. The nobles have a lot of room to meddle in it, and there are many places where they can interfere. Now in order to make friends with the Zhang family, it is not a problem to ask the family to write a few letters of eight lines or to choose a few strong family members from the family to be Fan Jin's guards.

In addition to these people, another person to look for is naturally the master. I can't count on the teacher at the time of the exam, but the little teacher of enlightenment is a reliable help. The waiting guard can be promoted from the Nanhai County Order to the Criminal Division, which is inseparable from Fan Jin's help, whether it is from the consideration of interests or feelings, he is a hardcore ally of Fan Jin on this boat, and he will not refuse to help. Although his own knowledge of military affairs is limited, the six departments communicate with each other, and it is not difficult to find a relationship for Fan Jin from the military department.

You must know that Fan Jin sent Hua Zhengfang's coffin back to his hometown thousands of miles away, and accepted Hua Jiyin as a righteous son, arranged for him to study and go to prison, and even his daughter-in-law was decided, this series of actions has long spread in the officialdom, and Yu Fan Jin's reputation is certainly very beneficial, and many officials have a good impression of Fan Jin.

The rabbit died and the fox was sad. Looking at Hua Zhengfang's results, many science and Taoist officials thought of themselves, and Fan Jin's behavior made these people feel warm. The wife died and crushed the street, and the old man died and no one carried him. Hua Zhengfang has no strong backer, and he doesn't have much of an upright legacy, Fan Jin helping him is definitely not for profit, but purely based on morality. In order to be loyal and not wronged, he is willing to give up his future as an internal official, so that he can only be a foreign official for the rest of his life.

Most of those who can be spokesmen still have a sense of justice, and sometimes even have an excess sense of justice. It was to wait for the guard to mention Fan Jin's name, and the soldiers here reached out to help and were willing to help.

These people supervised the work of the military department, had the most dealings with the army, and had some knowledge of the affairs of the nine sides. There are some things that you want to participate in but don't get the opportunity or are big, even the officials don't dare to start it at will so as not to burn yourself, and many things are related to the important ministers of the court, and it won't be useful if you go to this chapter. After all, the current government is under the control of Zhang Juzheng, and this prime minister is a cabinet minister who is more concerned about border affairs, and he attaches more importance to the nine sides and will clean up some accumulated shortcomings, but on the other hand, he is also a person who has a major situation. Between the private disadvantages of the side court and the overall situation, he must still take the overall situation into account.

The black materials accumulated on weekdays have a channel for catharsis this time, and the mood of these officials is actually very happy. Within a few days, Fan Jin harvested a lot of black materials from the Xuanda army, and the content was shocking. In a place like the Nine Sides, the role of the royal law is limited to a minimum, and it is actually expected that these military generals who have military power will do evil, and Fan Jin is not surprised. The court needs them to fight, and they have to get by with other things, as long as they don't go out of their way, they don't see it. These things are usually useless when taken out, but if they are combined with the royal flag in their hands...... Maybe it's a different story.

In addition to the things of the whole person, Fan Jin already has a basic understanding of the basic information of Yu Jiubian's money, food, ordnance supply expenses, and the number of soldiers, plus his previous experience in drawing maps in the Ministry of War, although he has not yet arrived at Xuanda, he has a preliminary understanding of the geography and people there. Xiucai can know the affairs of the world without going out, and the dignified Jinshi is naturally better than Xiucai.

Just when Fan Jin mobilized his own relationships, collected information, and analyzed all aspects of data, an unexpected guest came to the door. "Think, why didn't you come to me after looking for so many people these days? How much of this propaganda can hide from me, the head of the department? ”
