Chapter 238: Layout
The taste of being used by others must be uncomfortable, not to mention Wu Fanhui, the person who crossed, but he didn't get angry, and he didn't even have any reaction, in fact, from the day he crossed, Wu Fanhui fell into a complex whirlpool, in troubled times, in order to be able to live better, everyone will do something different from the usual.

Zhou Yanru told Wu Fanhui about this, in fact, it was not out of good intentions, but also wanted to plant a nail for Wen Tiren in secret, in Zhou Yanru's opinion, as the champion, Wu Fanhui will definitely be valued by the emperor, and will eventually be reused by the emperor.
Wu Fanhui became unusually sober, and gradually saw the road ahead, which was still a little vague.
Under the current situation, being used by Wen Tiren, the first assistant of the cabinet, is not a humiliating thing, after all, people can decide your future, and how to manipulate this situation of being used is what Wu Fanhui really needs to consider.
As the supervisor of the Nanjing Guozi, he wanted to find a way to gather his own strength from among the prisoners, just like Donglin Academy and the Fushe, to establish a huge prestige among the scholars, and then consolidate his own position, which seemed to be a good way, but Wu Fanhui knew that this was drinking to quench his thirst and deceive himself, and it had no effect at the critical moment.
Whether it is Donglin Academy or Fushe, in the end they have all become a tool of party struggle, the ultimate goal of the party struggle in the Ming Dynasty is to control power, to seek the greatest benefits and interests for themselves, there is no thought of changing the chronic diseases existing in the dynasty, and there is no armed force, when the tide of peasant uprisings, and the torrent of Houjin Tatar rushes in, the Donglin Party and the members of the Fushe are overwhelming, and there are some self-proclaimed backbone of the Donglin Party and members of the Fushe Choose to retreat to the mountains and forests.
It doesn't work, in the face of strong force, scholars don't work, party strife looks so hateful, and many times, they only make things worse.
Wu Fanhui must have abandoned this path.
Wen Tiren became the chief assistant of the cabinet, and the imperial court would enter a period of tranquility, no matter how much the Chinese military minister of the DPRK had opinions about Wen Tiren, but Wen Tiren really served as the chief assistant of the cabinet for more than four years.
However, during this time, the momentum of the Liukou has become stronger and stronger, and the power of the Houjin Tartars has gradually increased, especially the Emperor Taiji of the Houjin, who has stabilized his own power and made the Houjin develop in the direction of gradually becoming stronger.
Wu Fanhui can't waste time in vain, he needs to do something to strengthen his own strength.
It's not okay to always be in Nanjing Guozijian, but it's impossible to leave here in a short time.
Wu Fanhui faced two tricky things.
The first thing is how to deal with the Donglin Party and the members of the Restoration Society, which is not a trivial issue.
The power of the Donglin Party and the Fushe is already very strong, but it will take several years for them to really become extremely powerful, and now it is impossible for them to decide the direction of the court, and they cannot directly interfere with any decisions made by the imperial court.
Is it necessary for Wu Fanhui to restrain the development of the Donglin Party and the Fushe during this period of time?
The method is not very complicated, as long as some ideas are instilled among the prisoners of the country, and the prestige of Donglin Academy and Fushe is suppressed, it can completely frustrate Donglin Academy and Fushe, to put it mildly, in the face of power, Donglin Academy and Fushe are vulnerable, and after the founding of the Qing Dynasty, a paper edict, Fushe will completely collapse.
But in doing so, it was not Wu Fanhui who benefited, let alone the imperial court, but other groups such as the Zhejiang Party.
Therefore, Wu Fanhui needs to think seriously about how to restrain the development of Donglin Academy and the Restoration Society, and not let them be greatly damaged, so that they can maintain the struggle against the Zhejiang Party, the Chu Party and other groups.
The second thing is how to deal with the relationship with the first assistant of the cabinet, Wen Tiren.
The situation of the cabinet, there will be no major changes in a period of time, or will develop towards the original historical trajectory, Wu Fanhui does not have the ability to influence the emperor, I am afraid that even if he can do this, he can directly affect the emperor, he will not do it, the emperor's ambition is sparse, it is a sure fact, its lack of ability to govern the Ming Dynasty, there is no way to eradicate the many diseases existing in the Ming Dynasty, and it is precisely this reason that leads to the replacement of cabinet ministers like a marquee.
Wen Tiren has been able to be in the position of the first assistant of the cabinet for more than four years, and he still has extraordinary ability, and in the face of such a first assistant of the cabinet, Wu Fanhui must be careful, at least not to offend Wen Tiren publicly.
Attached to Wen Tiren, it is also something that Wu Fanhui can never do, one is prosperous and one is lost, and now if he is too dependent and dependent on Wen Tiren, then when Wen Tiren falls, he will also suffer.
It is best to maintain an attitude that is neither arrogant nor humble, but there is little possibility of doing this.
After returning home, Wu Fanhui saw three letters on the table, one was Chen Shiqu's reply, one was Wu Qingchao's letter, and the other was a letter written by Dai Nengxiang.
In Chen Shiqu's letter, it mainly said that Zhou Yanru resigned as the first assistant of the cabinet, which caused a lot of sensation in the capital, and the emperor once trusted Zhou Yanru abnormally, and consulted Zhou Yanru on almost everything, and many of Zhou Yanru's suggestions were also adopted.
With the resignation of Zhou Yanru as the first assistant of the cabinet, the number of officials attached to Wen Tiren in the DPRK and China increased suddenly, and Chen Shiqu, who was a member of the ministry, followed Wu Fanhui's advice and did not specifically visit Wen Tiren.
Wu Qingchao's letter talked about Wu Mingli's marriage, Sun Jianbo and his father personally came to Mizhi County to welcome their relatives, and the Wu family also sent the elders of the family to send Wu Mingli to Yan'an Fucheng. In the letter, Wu Qingchao specifically said that the dowry for Wu Mingli was very rich, and the jewelry filled a small wooden box.
Wu Qingchao in the letter, but also said that the Wu family has changed dramatically, after several years of development, the family's account has gathered a lot of wealth, with the area of cultivated land has also been expanding, especially explained that the sixteen-year-old Wu Mingkun, has passed the hospital examination, become a student, although it is the identity of the student, but it is already very good, after all, only sixteen years old.
Wu Mingkun has gone to Xi'an Fucheng to participate in the township examination, if he is not able to go to high school, he is ready to enter the capital Guozijian to study, and the county government will definitely give the quota directly to Wu Mingkun.
Dai Nengxiang's letter focused on the development of Ma'anshan Village, which Wu Fanhui was most concerned about.
The Wu family's nursing home, the total number of people reached 1,150 people, after Ma Jigang and other 50 people left, Li Yong, Dai Nengxiang and Liu Fangheng and others, after careful selection, supplemented 150 people, into the nursing home team, and the number of Mizhi County militia reached 1,500 people, Ma'anshan Village's influence in Mizhi County and even Yan'an Mansion is huge, almost two years have passed, there are no rogue bandits around, and the bandits are even more extinct.
The planting of grain has always been good, this year's maize, must be a bumper harvest, this has been three consecutive years of maize harvest, Ma'anshan Village in Mizhi County, Yan'an Fucheng and Xi'an Fucheng shops, business is also very good, the village has been able to get a lot of income from the shops.
In the letter, Dai Nengxiang also mentioned Zhu Tianlin, the magistrate of Mizhi County, and according to their estimates, Zhu Tianlin is afraid that he will leave Mizhi County and go to the capital.
After reading the three letters, Wu Fanhui thought for a long time.
The current favorable conditions are that more than 2,000 people are all in the villages around Mizhi County, and the imperial court will not care about the affairs of such a remote place at all, so the number of Wu family guards is larger, and the number of Mizhi County militia is more, and no one will pay attention to it, and even if it grows to 35,000 people, it is very possible.
The disadvantage is that Wu Fanhui is too far apart, so that the teams of the nursing home and the militia cannot be truly trained, and any strong team needs to fight on the battlefield, so that they can really exercise their bloody nature and become a real elite division.
Another point is that with the expansion of the nursing home and the militia team, the cost has also increased significantly, and now the savings of Ma'anshan Village are enough to solve these problems, but what to do in five or ten years, only with the grain grown and a few shops, it is impossible to maintain the huge expenses.
All this indicates that Wu Fanhui can not be in Nanjing for a long time, although Nanjing is very rich, living here is very leisurely, and Wu Fanhui, who is the priest of Nanjing Guozi, can avoid the game of officialdom to the greatest extent, but this also means being marginalized and difficult to develop his own strength.
Wu Fanhui set his eyes on the rogue.
If they can defeat the Liukou, on the one hand, they can obtain a lot of wealth, and on the other hand, they can also train the team, so that the Wu family and the Mizhi County militia will be more powerful, and they can gradually cope with the upcoming great changes.
However, no matter what Wu Fanhui wants to do, he needs intelligence support, he needs to know the detailed situation in various places, and it is far from enough to rely on the imperial court's palace report.
The cost of building up an intelligence team is huge, and it is also something that Wu Fanhui cannot afford at present, and this can only be used as the direction of his efforts for a period of time in the future.
