There are still things in the car, two large boxes are the clothes and luggage of the three little girls, and the other box is smaller, which is estimated to be a gift from Hou Zhang. Zhang Yue climbed into the carriage and personally moved down the two boxes, the first two boxes of clothes were light, and the latter box was scary.

The top one was turned over, all of which were under the rule of Junyi County near Tokyo, and the other was the grange of Zhongmu in Zhengzhou; There are also a few restaurants and a grange, all of which are inside and outside Biyang City in Tangzhou. As for the bottom, it is all gold ingots, which are not produced in Fangcheng Mountain Niutouzhai, and are worth about thirty or forty thousand yuan, which can be used at any time.

It's definitely a huge sum of money, just because there's a handle in my hands? Zhang Yue is a little worried, Hou Zhang, an old fox, won't give me any tricks, I have to find a chance to probe the wind, otherwise I really can't ask for this money!

The next day, Zhang Yue handed over the training to Xue Wenqian and Ming Jinrong, and took Li Deliang and other 50 soldiers to the grange five miles south of the city, and after meeting with the slave steward and the tenants of the grange, he found the largest Miyang restaurant in the city, and after meeting the shopkeeper and his associates, he officially took it into his own. Considering that no one could supervise it, he persuaded Li Deliang to stay in the restaurant with five personal soldiers to do things and temporarily supervise them for a period of time.

The days flew by, and before you knew it, it was almost the middle of winter, and after a light rain, the weather seemed to be no longer clear, the temperature dropped suddenly, and the air became wet and cold.

On a rainy day, Zhang Yue still stayed in the barracks, and arranged for some soldiers to go home to visit relatives, and by the way, he brought winter clothes to his fellow villagers. Of course, after the weather improves, he will practice as usual, he doesn't care about the rules of the township soldiers, and he will drill every five days.

In the afternoon of this day, Zhang Zhixing, who was in the pro-soldier team, came running in the light rain and said that Zong Jingcheng and He Ju had come back together. Zhang Yue was overjoyed, hurriedly rode into the city, went to the inn to ask Wen Yuankai but said that he hadn't seen it, the two went to the state government together, but saw Hou Congyi carrying luggage at the gate of the state office, and it seemed that he was going to pack up and go back to Dengzhou.

Zhang Yue didn't want to see Hou Zhang again, so he asked Hou Congyi, it turned out that Zong Jingcheng had brought the news, and an envoy from the DPRK and China had gone to Dengzhou to deliver the decree, so Hou Zhang was in a hurry to go back.

It is estimated that Hou Zhang will be demoted, and he will be transferred away if it is not good, Zhang Yue and Wen Yuankai simply did not go in to touch the mold, and returned to the small wine shop not far from the state office, the two ordered a few side dishes, asked for a pot of wine and talked while drinking, and waited for more than half an hour, Zong Jingcheng and He Ju were finally brought into the restaurant by Zhang Zhixing, who was waiting outside.

"After the fold and the dog's head gold sample were given to Wang Yanai, what did the princes of the court say? Can anyone come and give the message? As soon as Zong Jingcheng arrived, Zhang Yue asked impatiently.

"After sending it up, there was no news for a few days, I was soft-spoken, and I couldn't inquire about anything, and then He Ju also returned to Tokyo, and the next day Li Xianggong of Zhongshu Province summoned me and He Ju, and he didn't care about the matter of the first material, but asked a lot about the gold mine, and then sent me here. Before leaving, Li Xianggong asked someone to pass the word, saying that he would come to inspect in person, but it would be too late, and he would send someone from the young government supervisor first, and it was estimated that he had arrived in Xuzhou with the edict now. Zong Jingcheng had rested before, and then he finished speaking in one breath.

"Excellent! This trip is finally going to be completed, just wait for Li Xiang to bring someone to take over this mess. Zhang Yue and Wen Yuankai looked at each other and smiled, and they both breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Tangzhou's errand was completed, and they could return to Tokyo after the handover, Zhang Yue and Wen Yuankai were very happy. Before Hou Zhang left, Zhang Yue immediately asked him for a warrant for the transfer of troops, and sent the judicial army to take a command of the township soldiers to Fangcheng County to guard the Niutouzhai mine, replacing Yang Shouzhen and Feng Qianhou back. By the way, I tried to see why Hou Zhang gave a heavy gift, but the old fox was very cunning and refused to say anything.

Three days later, in the afternoon, Zhang Yue had to report out of the city to meet Yang Shouzhen, but Feng Qianhou didn't follow, Zhang Yue asked angrily: "Didn't you invite Mr. Feng to come with you?" ”

"I've said it several times, but Mr. Feng just won't come, and I can't do anything!" Yang Shouzhen had a bitter face, thought about it and said: "Actually, according to the humble position, if you want to invite Mr. Feng, you have to ask his wife to agree first......

"Huh? Lao Yang, you are quite shrewd! It's my negligence, Feng Qianhou has always been filial to his mother, I didn't expect ......it before" Zhang Yue suddenly stroked his forehead with remorse, it seems that he has to take the time to come to the door in person.

Zhang Yue took Yang Shou to the barracks, and it happened that Si Bing joined the army and received a messenger from the post on horseback, saying that Ma Congbin, the Shaofu supervisor from Tokyo, took the successor officials and the edict to the north of the city thirty miles away.

Zhang Yue had no choice but to ask Yang Shouzhen to take the soldiers to the barracks, and then he and Wen Yuankai would take people to Shili Pavilion in the north of the city to greet him, but he didn't have time to pay attention to it.

This was an afternoon, and seeing that it was getting dark, I finally saw a large group of forbidden army cavalry followers coming up the official road, about two commanders of a thousand people, escorting the long convoy and staggering late. Zhang Yue gave an order, and the improvised drum honor guard ran out of the pavilion and lined up on the muddy official road to welcome each other.

Zhang Yue and Wen Yuankai hurriedly took the remaining Liucao soldiers in Tangzhou to wait for them, and did not call for the band to stop until the convoy came to a stop. The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while and briefly learned about the situation.

There were really a lot of people who came, there were young government supervisors, and officials at all levels appointed to Tangzhou to fill vacancies, everyone saw that it was getting late, so they continued to hurry into the city, directly entered the state office, rested for a while, and then went up to the hall to read the edict after tidying up their appearance.

Zhang Yue only understood the date and some official names he read, and he was still strange in his heart, it was not a dead eunuch who announced the decree, nor did he put incense and candles to worship the gods, a large group of officials kneeling and listening, but the officials in the hall were sitting in a precarious position, listening to him after reading it, and then distributing it to the recipient.

Zhang Yue also received the will, and it was two, it was a little strange at once, and he couldn't wait to open it to see, there was a long list of signatures of the officials under the door, as well as the opinions on the handling of Tangzhou affairs, and the middle was the content of the edict of the Chinese book, and the emperor only approved the word "may".

A large number of traditional Chinese characters and rare characters are displayed in front of him, and Zhang Yue is dizzy to see, but he is also roughly clear. The gist is: first praised, and then the end is the main topic, by the Xuanjie captain on the eighth grade, the commander of the front of the palace, and the commander of the seventh grade, and the commander of the front of the palace.

Captain Zhiguo is a military officer, and he has been promoted to four levels in a row, and the main position is the deputy commander, and he has been promoted to three levels, which means that the expansion of the army is finally legal.

However, another will made him very depressed, to the effect that he was temporarily appointed as the Yuan Cong Escort Class, with the prince's guest Bian Guangfan, the young eunuch of the Shaofu and the guest envoy Liu Tao, the front of the palace and the scattered members of the command of the envoy, the Yuan Congdu escort class medicine again, and the scattered members of the Yu Hou Yao Kejun, together with the envoy Jingnan. What are you going to Jingnan for, I didn't say a word above.

The rank of the prince's guests is the third grade, and the main attendant is admonished, and the etiquette is praised; And the young eunuch of the Shaofu is from the four products, and he is in charge of hundreds of skills; The guest provincial envoy has no fixed grade, and his status is under the Xuanwei envoy, and he is mainly responsible for sending envoys to neighboring countries.

From this point of view, the chief officials who sent Jingnan this time were Bian Guangfan and Liu Tao, and the specifications were quite high, plus the medicine was re-encountered, as well as his own 3,000 soldiers, I don't know what happened to him, and the other wills were not clear, Zhang Yue had to ask Wen Yuankai: "What does your will say?" ”

"You didn't hear that?" Wen Yuankai looked puzzled, shook his head and explained.

Wen Yuankai was assigned as the commander of Fangcheng County, Jin Chao Sanlang, and supervised the Niutouzhai gold mine, which was considered to be a three-level promotion, but this guy still looked unhappy.

There is also Chang Deben, the commander of Wuyang County, who was promoted from the Zhongxian Order under the seventh grade to the Tangzhou Sima from the sixth grade, and entered the Fengyi Lang, which was also promoted by two levels. Zhang Yue looked up in the crowd, and sure enough, he saw that the Wuyang County Commander with violent teeth was actually there, and he probably came with him.

"Who is Bian Guangfan?" Zhang Yue remembered his own affairs, and planned to visit alone afterwards, so as to figure out his tasks and prepare as soon as possible. There is no way to do this, and when the will is down, there is no room for refusal.

"Fifth on the right! This will is very strange, I don't think it may be to envoy Jingnan, it may be to deal with the matter of Liu Yan in Tanzhou, you have been promoted to deputy capital envoy Jian Yuan from the escort class, if you go to war, it is also the main general, you have to ask clearly. Wen Yuankai pointed out.

The main general? So I'm going to make a meritorious service! Who is Liu Yan, Zhang Yue didn't ask much, and looked at the opposite side, Bian Guangfan was about fifty or sixty years old, with a long white beard, wearing a soft-footed sara head, and a purple robe with red embroidered fine rhombus flowers, and it seemed that his status was also very high.
