The next day, Jiao/Li returned. The newly purchased saltpeter and other materials www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion were put into storage without even opening the packaging, and soon after being prepared, they were shipped to Bukui.

On the third day, intelligence officer Wei Ruolan and assistants Jia Qin, Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng set off together. Together, they boarded the boat from Tianjin Wei and traveled by water to Bukui.

Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng were to transfer to Goryeo on Kyaw Island to inspect the market for gunpowder and other raw materials there, and try to establish a trade route from Hoeryeong to Bukyu.

When the weather warms up next spring and the river becomes navigable, formal procurement activities will begin.

Wei Ruolan and Jia Qin continued to march and landed at Niuzhuang in southern Liaoning, surveying the marching route along the way, and making a front stop for the food and lodging of the large army.

Jiao Li stayed and prepared for the relocation of the firearms workshop with Liu Tieshan and others. At the same time, the organization of the production of sleeping bags and tents began.

The sleeping bags and tent styles were provided by Jia Min, and samples were produced while Dai Zhi was still there. Now it can be produced on a large scale.

These things are currently spent on Jia Min's own money, and the military expenses given by the Ministry of War are actually only enough for the daily use of the army. If you want something new, you'll have to spend your own money.

Feng Ziying began to contact Jiang Shilang, and Chen Yejun was in charge of the daily training of the government corps.

In addition to continuing to organize technical training, Fang Xiucai also undertook two other tasks.

The first is to recruit some farmers and prepare to go to Bukui after the New Year.

The conditions are, of course, very favorable. For the first three years, land, farming tools and seeds are provided free of charge, and only 30% of the harvest can be handed in, and the rest is all for yourself. If you wish, you can also open up your own wasteland. As long as a certain deed tax is paid, the land will be owned by you.

Of course, these farmers have to go to Bukui to enjoy these benefits.

Although people are unsure about going to Bukui, the mere provision of entanglement has attracted many people to inquire about the news.

The second job Fang Xiucai did was to recruit craftsmen.

Some of these craftsmen were directly trained by themselves. Anyone who goes to Bukui is exempted from tuition on the condition that he or she serves in Bukui for two years.

Of course, these two years have not been done in vain. There are two ways to be paid, one is the official craftsman, who gets one tael of silver per month. The other is a private craftsman, that is, a self-employed person. After arriving in Bukui, you can start your own business and be responsible for your own profits and losses. However, it is necessary to spend at least two years in Bukui.

Bukui's current social state is basically the era of fishing and hunting. These farmers and craftsmen were recruited in order to bring advanced agricultural technology and handicraft technology.

When agriculture and handicrafts developed, commerce developed naturally. At present, the commercial form of Bukui is basically only the collection of some mountain medicinal materials and the circulation of fishing and hunting products. Only when agriculture and handicrafts are developed can there be relatively mature commerce and economic upgrading.

Without a relatively stable and strong economic foundation, it is very difficult to really gain a foothold in Bukui.

After Jia Min arranged the military training task, he handed it over to Chen Yejun to carry it out.

He himself traveled between the military department, the criminal department, the official department, the household department and other yamen. Others seem to think that he is idle, but only he knows how important what he is doing.

He was concerned mainly with all the information about Ningguta and Bukui in the ministries. Including various statements, correspondence and so on over the years.

Then someone found out that Jia Min was in the city and outside the city, so he found a few people, and then invited people to eat and drink.

None of these people Jia Min knew before, but Ningguta and Bukui knew them. If you know the details of these people, you will find that some of these people have stayed in Ningguta, and some have stayed in or near Bukui.

Some of the documents and materials of various ministries of the imperial court are very unreliable, deceitful, exaggerated, evasive, and deceitful.

Therefore, it is also necessary to find some people who have stayed there to understand the situation, so as not to listen to and believe partially.

Jia Min went to various yamen to do things, and it was still very smooth.

In addition to the fact that he does have important military affairs, labels such as poetry genius, business genius, martial arts tanhua, son of Rongguo Mansion, and head of the government corps also play a great role.

And most importantly, many people overlook. Sometimes, perhaps, this is the main factor why people are willing to cooperate with him.

That's how people sympathize with him.

It's a sympathy for a genius who is about to fall.

It is this fifteen-year-old boy who will lead his army and embark on the road of no return to Bukui.

It's sympathy for a man who is about to die: a genius has fallen.

Sending Jia Min's army to Bukui put Li Yuan, the secretary of the military department, under a lot of pressure.

This pressure is not from Jia Min.

Since the last time they had a drink together, Jia Min has never come to Li Yuan again. Even if you go to the military headquarters to find some information, you will leave after you have finished looking for it.

The pressure comes mainly from the rhetoric of officialdom.

Some say that he followed certain forces to suppress Jia Min. Some say that he is indiscriminately ordering troops.

This pressure reached its peak when Li Yuan was impeached in the imperial history book.

The imperial history said that Li Yuan sent Jia Min's new regiment to Bukui, which was suspected of dereliction of duty. Letting a group of inexperienced recruits and a fifteen-year-old boy lead the troops to Bukui was purely to send them to their deaths.

Until the excerpt of the imperial history was suppressed by the emperor. The matter is gone.

After Shen Bingyi left, Gu Panpan rose to the top position and became the top brand in the Fengyue District of the Great Golden Gate.

After the ordinary dignitaries arrived here, they were also proud that Gu Panpan could come forward to accompany them. This kind of support is two-way, and Gu Panpan is also proud that high-ranking officials and nobles can come to support her.

Today's banquet in Yuhua Building is a typical scene of benign interaction between the two sides.

The table that Gu Panpan accompanies is the most noble.

Ma Qiming, the deputy envoy of the Beijing camp, Niu Shilang of the military department, Liu Rui, a member of the official department, Chen Jiayin, the garrison of Changping Prefecture, and Luo Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, were present.

Gu Panpan originally thought that these people were today's guest of honor, but he didn't expect that the last one to come in sat on the guest of honor.

As soon as I was introduced, I learned that the guest of honor turned out to be Luo Qihua, a scholar of the Military Aircraft University ranked second in the dynasty. He is the uncle that Luo Hanlin often hangs in his mouth.

The wine and food were ready, the personnel sat down, Ma Qiming held the wine glass and stood up.

"Lord Luo appreciates coming, we are flattered, the lower officials salute Lord Luo with a cup, and the lower officials do it first as a respect."

Ma Qiming said, drinking it all.

Luo Qihua smiled, also raised his glass, and drank.

"Come, it's all casual, it's all a family, don't be restrained."

Luo Qihua is a very casual person, with a smile on his face, although he is in a high position, he can't see the slightest shelf.

When everyone saw Luo Qihua's kindness and enthusiasm, they became relaxed.

"This matter is all thanks to Lord Luo's help, and I would like to express my deep gratitude."

Ma Qiming said respectfully.

"Ma Jiedu is polite. The old man is just doing things for the emperor. Na Jia Min was deeply favored by the emperor, and he was proud of his youth and fame, and he should also serve the court when he was employing people in this court. ”

"Yes, yes, or Lord Luo is far-sighted."

"Asking Jia Min to go to Bukui is also to give him a chance to practice, such an opportunity is rare. If he is really a talent, he will definitely shine here, and his future will be bright. ”

"It's still Lord Luo who cares for talents and is willing to bring up the younger generations."

"We are all old, and the future will be the world of young people, and it is time for young people to go out and take on great responsibilities. I'm just going with the flow. ”

Hearing this, Gu Panpan's heart was shocked.

Recently, I heard that Jia Min was sent to Ningguta, and it turned out that these people were doing the article behind the scenes.

It is said that Naningguta is a place of exile, and Bu Kui is even more in the bitter cold land of the far north, and if he goes there, few people can come back. If Jia Min went there, wouldn't this life be over?

Next, everyone began to talk about some officialdom anecdotes. Although Gu Panpan was entertaining on this occasion, some of his words were also confused.

Thinking that Jia Min was sent to Bu Kui in the bitter cold of the extreme north, it was obvious that they were playing ghosts behind their backs and calculating Jia Min, why did they say that as soon as they said it, it seemed that they were helping Jia Min plan for the future.

It is said that these big men are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they are full of male thieves and prostitutes, which shows that what they are saying is true.

The sisters sell their bodies to earn some money, and they rely on their own bodies, which are much cleaner than these old men.

At this time, at the next table, there were Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, Ma Shangde, and several children from other families.

The discussion is also about Jia Min. What is obviously different from the previous ones is that the atmosphere this time is obviously not much more relaxed and enthusiastic.

"This time, I finally got all the bird gas out of my heart, so unpleasant."

Marchand didn't need to be persuaded by others, and he drank several glasses in a row.

This is called good and good and evil are rewarded, is it not that the time has not yet come, and now is not the time? When Jia Laosi comes back in the future, I really want to see what he will be like. ”

Chen Ruiwen held the wine glass in his hand and swayed the wine in the glass back and forth.

"I'm afraid this will disappoint Brother Chen, and it will be even more difficult for him to come back. I, Liu Fang, said something here today, Jia Min is here, even if he doesn't die there, he will want to come back in this life. ”

"Why is Brother Liu so sure? Na Jia Min still has some ability after all. ”

Niu Jizong felt that Liu Fang was still a little overconfident.

"I also admit that Jia Min has some skills, but it depends on who his opponent is. This time, Scholar Luo just moved his mouth and exiled him to Ningguta. That Li Yuan was originally the protégé of Lord Luo's father, how could he not listen? If the emperor hadn't summoned him personally, he would have died of old age in Ningguta for the rest of his life. ”

"It's just that I didn't expect that Li Yuan would act even more, and he would send Jia Min to Bukui, the land of no return, all of a sudden. This time, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for him to survive. ”

"Come on, come on. Let's have a drink of such a great pleasure. ”

After Niu Jizong finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it all.

Hmph, Jia Min, I didn't expect you to have today!
