Chapter 0336: Tokyo Envoy

The goose feathers and snow fell all night, and after a short break in the morning, it did not stop until noon. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Zhang Yue got up late, freshened up and stopped to have lunch, Fu Jinqiong accompanied him carefully, knowing that he was going out to see things, so he took a collared robe for him to put on, smoothed the wrinkles and pulled the collar before nodding with satisfaction, and pushed him out with a smile.

"After the snow stops, the weather is colder, why don't you wear the padded jacket made by the Yanzhou workshop?" Zhang Yue saw that Fu Jinqiong's clothes were a little thin, so he asked with a smile.

"The padded jacket was so ugly that it looked like a fat duck on its body, and it was not flexible to walk. A few days ago, I asked Jiro and Akiyoshi to go to the market and buy some cotton wool and fabric, and I tried it myself! Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, and you still have to buy a lot of groceries, so you need to come back early! Fu Jinqiong pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"Alright! I'll go to the post house and go back! Zhang Yue smiled, stepped out of the main hall and looked up at the roof, the snow was half a foot thick, and he immediately frowned. This ghost weather, I'm afraid that the homes of the small people will be difficult.

The servants swept the snow in the courtyard and pushed it away with a wheelbarrow, and Qingzhu and two maidservants, dressed in half-length red collared robes, stood under the eaves and watched the excitement, pointing to the snow on the roof and giggling in amazement.

"Green Bamboo!" Zhang Yue shouted, and when he saw Qingzhu looking over, he raised his hand and pointed to the East Wing Courtyard. Shen Xuelian felt the wind and cold yet, Youlan and Youqiao were unfamiliar here, so they had to let Qingzhu go over to take care of it.

"Ah......" Qingzhu pursed his mouth, his big eyes were dripping, and he secretly slandered in his heart: Ah Lang's greed for beauty is really endless, he brought them home one by one, and actually let the slave take care of it, and the slave is not serving the woman, it's really annoying!

But as a maid to marry, the head of the family didn't dare not listen to his words, and seeing that Zhang Yue was still watching there, he had to reluctantly call the two maidservants and walk towards the east wing. But I secretly thought in my heart, do you want to make a small report to the lady?

When Zhang Yue saw them going, he also stepped into the front yard and asked the servants to invite Feng Qianhou and Li Duoshou to bring fifty personal soldiers to come over with the honor guard case. From the corridor alley to the lobby of the government, Zhang Yue sat behind the handsome case, Feng Qianhou asked the soldiers to play a guard of honor, took out the handsome seal and put it on the ceremony, Li Duoshou went to the vestibule post house to invite the messenger from Tokyo to ascend to the court.

This is the official rule, to high-ranking officials and other officials to read the official emperor's book, the edict must be in the official hall, the general emperor's dictation, or the letter, the Privy Council, etc., do not have to choose a formal occasion, can be arbitrary.

Soon, the envoy brought several soldiers of the forbidden army to the court, and Li Duoshou led the way, wanting to step forward to introduce the identity and grade of the proclamation official. Zhang Yue smiled and waved his hand, he had already recognized the person, it was Wang Pu, the doctor of Zuo Counseling and the governor of Kaifeng, and suddenly realized that something was a little unusual.

"Since General Zhang is ready to stop, then be ready to obey the order!" With a black face, Wang Pu stepped forward and bowed, took a scroll of yellow silk from the tray held by the attendant behind him, and prepared to read it, looking like he was doing business.

"Doctor Wang, can you wait a moment? There are a few things I'd like to ask first. In November, when I arrived in Guanzhong, I heard that there was an accident in Liangzhou, and then I made up two chapters, what is the opinion of the ministers of the DPRK and China? Can you tell us about that first? Zhang Yue raised his hand and asked.

Of course, the matter of Liangzhou is to invite soldiers, and the next two chapters, one is about the reorganization and reorganization of the Zhenyuan Army, this military system is extraordinary, and it cannot be overmade; The other is to strengthen the construction and immigration of the state, and ask the three departments to allocate funds. However, after these three chapters were sent to Tokyo, there was no news like a mud cow entering the sea, and now Wang Pu came to announce the decree, instead of Zhongshusheren, indicating that the emperor attached great importance to these matters, but apparently had doubts. Otherwise, such a thing as running errands and announcing decrees would not require a doctor under the left counsel of the provincial and fourth grades.

"Since General Zhang asked so, why don't you wait for the approval of the court counselors of the DPRK and China before acting?" Wang Pu's eyelids rolled and asked sternly.

"Ahem...... Huizhou is thousands of miles away from Tokyo, and it will be next summer when the DPRK and China approve it, so it's too late, right? "Zhang Yue has no scruples, he has changed the military establishment, and this matter is going to be bigger, and it can even be involved in ill-intentioned and ill-intentioned plots; To put it mildly, it is nothing at all, and the marshal of the feudal town governs the army, as long as it is reasonable, of course, he can act cheaply.

"The system said: The champion general, the doctor of Yinqing Guanglu, and the envoy of Jingzhou Changyi Jiedu Zhang Yue, who changed the military system without authorization, should be severely punished, remembering that he was diligent and meritorious, and actively consolidated the border defense, and the special regent Hexi was arrested by the deputy envoy, and the army was selected to enter Liangzhou on a certain day, and the traitor Zhe Jiashi was arrested." Behind it is the signature of the Chinese book and the ministers under the door, Wang Pu quickly finished reading, and presented the book with both hands.

"The minister is hereby ordered!" Zhang Yue walked out from behind the handsome case, bowed in the direction of Tokyo, took over the book, and the etiquette was completed.

"General Zhang has been ordered to prepare for war as soon as possible and march into the army as soon as possible. In addition, the candidate for the Hexi ambassador was Hou Zhang, and His Majesty gave him tolerance and let him make up for his mistakes. Considering that the Changyi army may not have enough troops, he has sent a deputy envoy to Lingzhou to announce the decree and ordered Wang Jing of Shuofang to send troops to assist. Regarding the expansion and restructuring of the Zhenyuan Army, His Majesty hopes that General Zhang will give a reasonable answer. Wang Pu sat down next to him and asked solemnly.

"Regarding the restructuring and the new military structure, it has been clearly stated in the book. The land west of the river is not like the Central Plains, the four wildernesses are desolate and rarely inhabited, and it is more suitable for small teams to fight in the mountains, swamps, and forests, and the army must prevent mutiny when fighting outside, and the soldiers do not obey the order to flee without authorization, and do not abide by military discipline and plunder, etc., for which the supervision army is clearly set up; The other is the reduction of the establishment, which corresponds to the ten-captain, centurion, small thousand household chief, small thousand household chief, large thousand household chief, large thousand household chief, large thousand household chief, ten thousand household chief and other tribal establishments, which may not be understood by the Chinese scholar, but the Privy Council should be able to understand it. Zhang Yue had to explain in detail.

"Zheng Xianggong of the Privy Council objected, but Wei Xianggong agreed, His Majesty was also an old soldier, of course he understood, otherwise it would not be Wang who came. It's just that...... Wang had many complaints on the middle road to the customs, saying that fresh goods in the northwest were in short supply, and business was difficult. Wang saw that there are many fresh things such as iron pots and pots, cotton woven cloth, silk clothes, milk wine and milk tea, etc., and there are trademarks that clearly indicate that the place of origin is Huizhou and Yanzhou. Wang Pu asked sarcastically, staring at Zhang Yue with blazing eyes.

Wang Pu asked so much, Zhang Yue was annoyed in his heart, and asked loudly: "Since Guangshun captured Huizhou in the third year, Doctor Wang also followed His Majesty on the expedition at that time, he should have seen what Huizhou was like, right?" Zhang has comprehended the history of the state for nearly two years, how to deal with some ideas can always be done, right? The strategy of attracting investment is not necessarily wrong? What's more, the ministers of the DPRK and China don't pay any money and don't pay people, but they have to collect salt tax and horse tax. Is it reasonable? ”

"Nonsense! Your Majesty's trust is more important than you, and he never interferes with how you govern Huizhou, which is why you have today's political achievements. But how are you? Privately reform the military system, big business, what if all the towns in the world follow suit? If you want to go to Huining, why do you insist on dissuading it? Could it be that you are afraid that someone will see it? ”

Wang Pu was also angry, and made it clear, His Majesty actually didn't want to investigate it so much, so he just needed a reasonable reason, so that he could prevaricate other towns as a special case, and you are still angry, do you understand or not.

Feng Qianhou was a bystander, smiled slightly, and hurriedly got up and said, "Doctor Wang is angry!" The reason why I advise you to stay for the time being is because the road is far away, and the New Year is approaching, and the weather is not good, so that you will come back soon, not to prevent you from going. You must know that in order to resettle immigrants and build military forts and towns, the Huining Prefecture has always been in a state of debt, and if there are no merchants to circulate goods such as salt, horses, hides and skins for the needs of the garrison, it is really impossible to operate, and thousands of garrisons cannot afford to support them at all. ”

"That's good! General Zhang explained on his own, and Wang was inconvenient to say more, and he needed to return to Beijing after Chinese New Year's Eve. Wang Pu arched his hand with a dark face, got up and walked away.

"It's really ...... to talk about things, but with such a big grievance, it's obviously about things, but it's like asking for a crime," Zhang Yue muttered unhappily.

"Huh...... This is called a gentleman to deceive him, if someone else comes, you can pick out the bones in the egg, then you will have a headache! Feng Qianhou persuaded with a smile, and said: "You still have to make up for the military system again, and whether Qu Wushan iron ore is mined, I have time to talk to Dr. Wang, and strive to get the permission of the DPRK and China."
