"I see."

The expression on Hou Fangyu's face was also playful.

He didn't fully agree with some of the prince's things. For example, the law of placing officials means that there will be no distinction between officials in the future.

In his correspondence with Donglin's colleagues, everyone hated this matter and it was very difficult to understand.

The attack is still very bad, not to mention the character of the officials, and the knowledge is also very poor. If there is a clerk who becomes the imperial history, do you expect this generation to impeach the big man?

If the clerk becomes an examiner, it is even more funny.

Some of Hou Fangyu agreed with these arguments, and some laughed it off, but in any case, the situation on the Nandu side was very dangerous, and he didn't have to deal with it.

Sometimes, the eldest prince is still very pragmatic.

As if they had seen through his thoughts, Kou Baimen and Li Xiangjun no longer talked about these government affairs, but only talked about the scenery of the Qinhuai River and the behavior of their old friends.

"Has Hedong-kun died down recently?"

Qian Qianyi became the Minister of War who was not happy, and even tired Liu Ruyi, who has always liked to be in the limelight, listening to the two beauties chattering for a long time, but there was no news of Liu Ruyi, and Hou Fangyu couldn't help but be surprised.

Kou Baimen wanted to speak, but Li Xiangjun glared at her, so Kou Baimen pursed his lips and swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

These two people are like this, Hou Fangyu is strange, but he knows that Li Xiangjun is here, and Kou Baimen will not say anything, so he also shut up at the right time.

collided in Yangzhou, all the way to the north, two women who have experienced changes in people's hearts but are only about 20 years old have left an amazement all the way.

It was the middle of winter, and the road was very difficult to travel, and few people chose to travel at this time, but as far as the eye could see, the road was bustling with people in a hurry.

There were convoys, mule carts, and horse-drawn carts, all of which were full of all kinds of goods, and the people who followed the carts were sweating profusely, but they were all elated.

Recently, the war between the north and the south has caused a lot of military supplies, and many businessmen have taken the opportunity to put all kinds of military supplies, especially made canned food, tents, backpacks, bows and arrows, arrows, arrows, pots, medicinal pills, bandages, gauze...... These things are too rushed to be produced by the Huai'an Miscellaneous Bureau, but fortunately, the crown prince Zhu Cihong is very experienced in this kind of thing, and he is contracted out to stipulate certain quality inspection standards.

In addition to these, there are also many merchants of southern goods to the north.

The tobacco industry in Qingjiang is now very popular, making a lot of money, and even a lot of luxury is selling well in the north.

Speaking of which, this is a standard economic war, but how can people at that time understand this?

It is known that the silver from the north is constantly sold to the south, but there is no grain sold in the south, and all the salt and iron grain are controlled products, and any merchant who transports such military materials to the north will definitely be arrested for the crime of convicting the country.

Including raw rubber, lacquer, cowhide, sulfur, saltpeter, all are not allowed to be exported.

There are many people doing business, and there seem to be a lot of people who go out to visit relatives and friends.

The official road from Yangzhou to Huai'an has finally been repaired, passing through many places, Gaoyou, Baoying and other places, are the straight and spacious official roads that are repaired, the roadbed is solid, flat as a mirror, solid as a stone, and the asphalt cement road of later generations is of course far behind, but at this time the existing scientific and technological conditions, it is already the most solid and sturdy top highway to build.

As soon as the road conditions were good, although the prince's military and political secretary led the restoration of the road guidance system, anyone who went out must have a guide, and those who did not lead were all detained and inspected until Lijia came to recognize people.

If no one claims it, it will be loose for a hundred years.

Although this is troublesome, it also fundamentally eliminates the secret agents of the hostile camp, whether it is the Qing Dynasty side or the Xiao Liu Battalion of the Shun Army, they do not want to really blend in and integrate into the places under the jurisdiction of the Qingjiang camp.

The road from Lianshui to Xuyi to the first line of [***] is also being renovated, but it is still only a plan.

It's not that there is no money in the camp, but the route from Sizhou to cross the Huaishui and invade Nanjing and Yangzhou is this one. Zhu Cihong, a traverser, remembers this route very clearly, and this official road will not be repaired for the time being.

Looking at the love on the road, the carriage did not have the kind of bumps as expected, and the eyes of the two women who looked out the window of the car became shining.

Li Xiangjun wrinkled his good-looking nose: "Hedongjun is very respectful of His Royal Highness the Prince, I didn't know why before, but now I understand." ”

"That's not just to be saved by His Highness." Kou Baimen was very unconvinced, and argued with his good sister: "The camp and governance are all remarkable." Mr. Mu Zhai commented, but he was also very recommended. ”

Although Qian Qianyi is not very proud, but in fact, the burden on his shoulders is not light, and now there is talk of it, Qian Qianyi's embarrassment in the military affairs department is not that he has no power, but that he still remembers the events of the year, plus Ma Shiying is squeezed out, Lu Zhenfei and others are too obvious to be a feather, and they are wary and wary of outsiders.

Old money can be mixed into the way it is now, it is enough to be good at dancing with long sleeves, and it is enough to meet the source left and right.

So his comments were really convincing, and Li Xiangjun originally just said it casually, but naturally nodded frequently at this time.

It took only half a year for the prince to arrive in Jiangbei, and earth-shaking changes have taken place in the entire Huaiyang area, from the fields to the salt fields, to the roads and bridges, and the water conservancy rivers, the changes are very obvious.

Although the two women grew up by the Qinhuai River, they are very intelligent, and they are also very concerned about the country's major politics because the people who come and go with them are all from the Fushe.

At least in front of their eyes, everything is full of life and vitality, well organized, with a strong sense of self-confidence and authoritarian rule.

Even in Nanjing, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, even if the Governor's Mansion is now in charge of Marquis Huaiyuan, and the forbidden army is under the control of Qiu Yuanyi, he still can't feel this kind of majestic and orderly atmosphere.

This is the atmosphere that can only be created by a real strong superior, although Chongzhen is the emperor of seventeen years, in this regard, he is no longer as good as his son.

When they arrived at the camp in Qingjiang, the divisions of the camp had their own pavilions, but of course Hou Fangyu would not send these two women to the pavilion. Although his residence is only a small courtyard with two entrances, it is more than enough to arrange two women to live.

It's just that when I entered the door, I saw a lot of halberd-wielding guards talking to each other, and I couldn't hide the smile on my face.

Hou Fangyu was also shocked when he saw it, no matter what happened to him, as soon as he entered from the gate of the camp, the boundary of hundreds of acres of houses and more than a thousand rooms was already an extremely strict place, and these soldiers were all direct guards, and they were carefully selected from many military towns. Martial arts must be good, and you must be literate, and you must be tall and good-looking.

Many things are attached, and even Zhu Cihong, the crown prince, has no way to interfere, after all, when the forbidden army was selected from Song Taizu, the royal forbidden army could not be seen only from the perspective of martial arts.

Fortunately, there are not many direct guards, originally only more than 100 people, but now they are only two teams on duty, and they also ride two shifts step by step.

All of them were dressed in bright armor and gray cloaks, and they were tall and dignified.

The iron halberd in his hand is also made by the First Battle Bureau according to the advice of the Taixi military attaché, the front of the half-moon type, there is a finger and a half long spear tip, this kind of thing, in the Ming Dynasty is called Xuanhua axe, in the mouth of the Taixi people become an iron halberd.

Of course, the weight and style are different from the Xuanhua axe.

The guards began to be equipped first, and then the battalions and teams were already equipped in large numbers.

After all, this iron halberd has matured and is much more powerful than a simple iron spear. It can be cut and chopped, and it can be swung and chopped, which is much more powerful than a simple iron spear that can only be stabbed.

Today, these halberd-wielding guards are not as serious and dignified as they are every day, but they are smiling one by one.

"What's wrong?"

When he arrived near his residence, Hou Fangyu finally couldn't help it and asked a sentry officer who led the team.

"You don't know?"

To say that the prestige of the eldest prince Hou in the army is really not small, after all, many military attachés at the level of sentinel officers are still just primary school students who have heard of Shunjiao under him, and after half a year's effort, the students he taught are also full of mountains and valleys.

Seeing that it was Hou Fangyu who asked, the sentry replied with a smile: "Your Highness has sent a message, the thieves and thieves will not stop today, and he will not return to the southern capital for the time being. ”

Hou Fangyu didn't know that it was Wang Chengen's coming that caused the instability of the army's morale, and of course he didn't know that he had also been promoted. The court was not stingy, and directly added him a waiter from the Ministry of Rites.

At the beginning, it took his father twenty years to go from Jinshi to Shilang, but Hou Fangyu didn't even work for a year.

Up and down the Qingjiang River, it is strange not to be taboo.

"I see," Hou Fangyu said with a smile, "No wonder you are laughing like this." However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't have this plan in the first place. ”

Seeing that he didn't know, the sentry smiled and didn't say much. just squeezed his eyebrows and said, "There is another great event." ”

was talking about the excitement, and as soon as I raised my eyes, I saw Li Xiangjun and Kou Baimen who came down from the car.

Immediately, he was dumbfounded, and he didn't know that the corners of his mouth were drooling.

I can't blame him, women in this era also have their own secrets to clean up their faces, even if the two women are out of the house, they have never made heavy makeup, and they dress up with clear soup and noodles, which makes this ordinary farmer-born sentinel stunned.

Seeing the dumb goose-like appearance of this sentry, the two women are pursing their lips and smiling, which is not surprising, they have seen a lot over the years.

"Oh, really, really, what a ......"

The sentry officer really didn't say a reason for a long time, and finally turned his head and face around, and then finished his words awkwardly.

After finishing speaking, it is time to spread out and slip away.

The two women in front of them have caused a lot of disaster to the country and the people.

"Prince, this can be regarded as a ......" Hou Fangyu said with a smile: "I already knew that His Royal Highness and Wei Yatou were unusual, and they often looked like they were eyebrows. However, it is really unbelievable to make your own decisions in this way. ”
