Zhu Jian returned from a military parade outside Shanhaiguan and went to Shanxi Province, but to see what Wu Fu's political achievements in Shanxi had been in recent years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At the beginning of the Yu and Jin Dynasty innovations, Zhu Jianyi relied on the emperor's tough means to make him mighty, but secondly, he was the work of Qu Shiyun and Zodiac Zhou.

In the next three years, Zhu Jian took Qu Shiyun as the governor of Henan, specializing in the affairs of the Central Plains, and transferred Wu Fu, the head of the imperial party affairs, to Shanxi from Beijing, but returned to Beijing with Huang Daozhou to report on his work.

It is said that the empire has its own written law on the management of officials, among which foreign officials are basically changed every two years, but it is written in the imperial regulations on the promotion of officials.

Although Yu and Jin are adjacent, there is a big difference between the two.

The Central Plains has been based on agriculture since ancient times, its climate is suitable, the rivers are vertical and horizontal, and the water resources are abundant, among which the plains and basins account for a large proportion, and the farming culture is far-reaching, and Chongzhen has been in town for three years, Zhu Jian sent water conservancy experts to govern the water conservancy projects in Henan and Jin provinces, and has achieved good results in the short term by means of work for relief.

At the same time, to a certain extent, the cash-for-work scheme eased class contradictions, thus making the Central Plains more stable.

However, the land of Shanxi is different from the Central Plains, the plateau of the Sanjin Dynasty is undulating internally, the river valleys are vertical and horizontal, the landform types are complex and diverse, there are mountains, hills, platforms, plains, there are many mountains and few rivers, but it is not suitable for agricultural industry, but the land of Sanjin is rich in mineral resources, especially the coal mines.

For the use of coal, China has a long history, in China's classical book "Classic of Mountains and Seas", coal is called Shini, Wei, Jin called coal graphite or coal, and to the Ming Dynasty Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" used the name coal for the first time.

Coal was mostly used as a fuel for daily use in the past, and it was also needed for iron smelting, but in general, the frequency and quantity of its use were quite limited.

But since the first steam engine in the empire was developed in the third year of Chongzhen, the value of this coal mine is incomparable.

Steam trains, steam ironclad warships, steamships, and the Empire's new ironworks relied on the supply of coal, but the Antaibao open-pit coal mine in Shuozhou, Shanxi Province, was undoubtedly a boon to the empire for the Ming Dynasty, which had limited mining technology.

The huge wealth bred by the mining industry has been known to the world, the land of the Three Jin Dynasty is rich in merchants, although the traitorous Jin merchant group headed by the Fan family has been wiped out, but the roots of the Jin merchants are impossible to uproot, not to mention that the empire wants to develop, lies in commerce, Zhu Jian naturally will not do anything to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot.

As long as these Jin merchants did not abandon their ancestors, as long as they were registered with the Imperial Ministry of Commerce and paid taxes on time, then their business would naturally be protected by the Empire.

But under the sun, there will inevitably be shadows.

Naturally, in the face of huge interests, in addition to those merchants who were registered in the Imperial Ministry of Commerce, many hidden illegal merchants naturally existed, they were like flies, everywhere, clinging to the huge resource of coal, privately recruiting workers, digging coal, squeezing the blood and sweat of workers, in order to satisfy their own selfish desires, but unwilling to pay a penny of taxes.

Zhu Jian sent Wu Fu to supervise Jin, what he valued was Wu Fu's uprightness, and for those businessmen who could not obey the law, Wu Fu was undoubtedly the blade sent by Zhu Jian to Jin.

Inspect the land of Sanjin, one route to the south of the railway, until Taiyuan Mansion, in addition to patrolling the defense of Datong border pass, more but all the way to hear the Shanxi governor and many officials report on the governance of Shanxi over the years.

Three days later, Taiyuan Province.

Zhu Jianxingyuan.

"Wu Aiqing, the land of the Three Jin Dynasty is the lifeblood of the empire's industry, but the problem is still severe, the officials of the Three Jin Dynasty have many traitors, colluding with profiteers, plundering the resources of the empire, not to mention, but also regard the workers as grass mustard, this matter is very important, if it chills people's hearts, it is worth the loss in the empire!"

"What Your Majesty said, the minister should keep it in mind!"

"Aiqing, there is one thing you must keep in mind, the miner is related to the lifeblood of the empire, and the businessman is also related to the rise and fall of the empire, what you keep in mind is that my Ming Empire advocates legal commerce, but for those who ignore the laws of our empire and act recklessly, we will not tolerate it!"

"The minister has written it down!"

"By the way, there's something you want to come by."

Suddenly, Zhu Jian called Wu Fu to his ear, and after a few words with him, Wu Fu nodded busily, and then turned to leave.

......

Zhenbei Pass.

Huang Taiji led his troops to the outside of the pass yesterday, and the next day, the prince of Heshuo, Jierharang, led the officials of Guanzhong out of the city to greet him.

"Zilharang, how is the funeral in Delgrad?"

After a short rest, Huang Taiji asked about the funeral for Delgrad.

"The Great Khan, according to your command, has been buried with the rites of Beylor, and the chiefs of the tribes and the soldiers of the banners have been summoned, and the Russians have been summoned with them."

"It's so good, Dolgon's man wants to ruin my reputation, but Ben Khan makes him daydream!"

"What the Great Khan said is extremely true, Dolgon is a traitor and traitor, and everyone should be punished!"

Speaking of this, Zilharang was a little duplicitous, but under the cover up, ordinary people couldn't notice it, in his Zilharang's opinion, Dolgon's killing of Delgrad to marry Emperor Taiji was a degrading identity.

But as the lord of Houjin, in order to trade with outsiders, he did not hesitate to imprison important ministers and kill soldiers who knew about it, but what he did was more than that.

It's just that since Zilharang planned to follow Huang Taiji, he couldn't turn back at all, because he had already been branded with the mark of Huang Taiji on his face.

Huang Taiji can be the master of Houjin, and he is naturally very human, facing the strangeness that flashed on Jilharang's face, he didn't care too much, Huang Taiji understands that even if Jierharang disagrees with his behavior, he is absolutely loyal.

"By the way, is the Russian envoy okay now?"

"Everything is fine, after yesterday's funeral, the deputy marquis of the Russian envoy regiment Golovin still expressed his supreme respect to the Great Khan through the mouth of the minion!"

"Oh, Marquis Golovin? Alright, Zilharang, command to go down and hold a banquet in the palace tonight, and invite the Russian envoys to attend. ”

......

The night is pervasive, and the night in Saibei is extraordinarily cold.

In the north of the town, Huang Taiji was holding a banquet and inviting guests from the Russian Empire.

"Come on! Cheers to guests from afar! ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty the Great Khan of the Supreme Golden Kingdom, we are very honored to be invited by you, and we hope that through this glass of wine, the flower of our friendship will last forever!"

Unlike Count Stroganlov, who was the head of the legations, he did not speak Manchu, Golovin was known for his erudition during his early years in Europe.

Later, when the Russian Empire opened up the Far Eastern territories, Golovin began to come into contact with Mongolian, Chinese, and Manchu, so it was the Marquis Golovin who spoke on behalf of the Russian legation.

"Cheers!"

“......”

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere at the banquet had reached its peak, and it seemed that these Russians, who had spent countless nights in the cold winter drinking spirits, seemed to have a better amount of alcohol than the Houjin people.

Originally, I wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Russian envoy was a little drunk to talk about firearms in order to get the greatest benefit, but what happened in front of me was the original idea that Huang Taiji had to change, and he went straight to the point.

"Lord Marquis, I heard that the Russian Empire is rich in firearms, and now that the battle outside the north pass of this town is imminent, I don't know what Lord Marquis promised to bring!"
