"Su Hao listens to the order!"

With a sharp shout, a little eunuch appeared in front of Su Hao with a holy decree in his hand.

Regarding this kind of thing, Su Hao has only seen it on TV, and after crossing over, where did he learn these etiquettes. He was at a loss for a while, and asked Chen Dao for advice: "Master Chen, what should I do?" ”

Chen Dao whispered: "It's nothing, you just kneel down and accept the order." ”

"Oh, I see." Su Hao nodded, knelt down, and praised in his mouth: "Minister Su Hao takes the order." ”

Since it was outside Beijing, there were no too important people around, so the little eunuch didn't put up any shelf, and recited it to Su Hao with a holy decree. Su Hao understood it, and roughly said that Su Hao had a meritorious contribution to the copper drum stone gold mine, so that Su Hao would go to the capital to face the saint on the same day, and the saint would be rewarded. The holy decree also specifically proposed that when Su Hao entered Beijing, he should also bring his survey camp with him, and the holy lord should personally inspect it.

"This ......" Su Hao was stunned, a survey battalion he trained for Deng Zilong was first requisitioned by the Ministry of War for Banzhou, and now the matter of Banzhou has just ended, and the emperor is going to be transferred to review again. Thinking of the rumors that Emperor Wanli ignored the government and did not understand government affairs, Su Hao couldn't help muttering in his heart: Review, check your sister, do you understand?

I want to think like this, but Su Hao definitely can't show it in front of the little eunuch. He took the holy decree handed by the little eunuch, took out a piece of silver from his arms, handed it to the little eunuch, and said: "My father-in-law has worked hard from afar, this little meaning, please drink tea." ”

The little eunuch grinned and accepted the silver, and asked Su Hao, "Su Baihu, do you still know me?" ”

Su Hao looked at the little eunuch and felt that he didn't have any impression in his mind. He had the experience of meeting the little eunuch twice, once with the little eunuch under Chang Wu, and the other with the little eunuch under Li Long. Seeing that this little eunuch was quite friendly to him, Su Hao decided that this person should be Li Long's subordinate, so he said tentatively: "Look at my brain, I look at my father-in-law a little familiar, could it be that he is ...... in Nanchang Jinyiwei."

The little eunuch said: "Exactly, exactly, I am running errands for Gonggong Li, my name is Vientiane, and Su Baihu will call me Xiao Wan." ”

Su Hao said repeatedly: "How dare you, Gonggong Wan came from thousands of miles to deliver the holy decree to Su, and Su will definitely treat Gonggong Wan once another day." ”

"Oh, I don't dare to be Father-in-law Wan, if Father-in-law Li knew that I was big in front of Su Baihu, he wouldn't have discounted my legs." Vientiane said pretentiously.

"Father-in-law Wan, what does this holy decree mean that Su Baihu should enter Beijing with the Kanyu camp? Is this the meaning of the military department, or the meaning of the saint? Chen Dao couldn't help but ask on the side, to be honest, this holy decree surprised him.

Vientiane said: "The small one is only on the order of Gonggong Li to deliver the decree, as for where the will comes from, the small one is not clear." However, Gonggong Li has a few words, let the little one bring to Su Baihu, and after Su Baihu heard it, I am afraid that many things will be understood. ”

"Oh, I see, then Chen retired first." Chen Dao said.

Vientiane stopped Chen Dao and said, "Director Chen is too polite, Gonggong Li doesn't have to hide these words, Director Chen is okay to listen to them." ”

After that, he turned his head to Su Hao again and said, "Su Baihu, Gonggong Li said this: Change it, you have done our family a great favor, and we will not forget what our family promised you." Come to Beijing with your people, and our family will protect your life of glory and wealth. ”

"This ......" Su Hao was speechless, it seems that this Vientiane is really lacking in heart, in this way, it is actually not suitable to say it in front of the court, is this unclear thing to be an exchange of interests, what will others think when they hear it in their ears?

However, he also knew that neither Chen Dao nor Fu Zhong were people who would compete with him for such interests, and they did not have the conditions to compete for these interests, so it would not cause any trouble for Li Long to let them hear these words.

"Father-in-law Wan, Father-in-law Li said that Su did him a big favor, why doesn't Su know, can you tell me about it?" Su Hao asked Vientiane.

Vientiane said: "What Gonggong Li said is that Su Baihu helped him find the Tonggushi gold mine. Does Su Baihu know how much gold has been mined in this gold mine in the past six months? ”

Su Hao shook his head and said: "In the next half of the year, I have been in Banzhou, and I haven't heard of anything in Jiangxi." ”

Vientiane proudly drew a number and said, "It's 5,000 taels!" ”

"That's the number?" Chen Dao and Fu Zhong both jumped up, of course they knew what 5,000 taels of gold meant, according to the price at that time, 1 tael of gold was worth 6 taels of silver, and 5,000 taels of gold was equivalent to 30,000 taels of silver. These are only half a year's income, won't there be 60,000 taels a year?

The most important thing is that the 60,000 taels of silver were completely dug out of the ground, although various craftsmen were also paid during the period, but after all, they were not directly competing with the people, so they would not cause any controversy in the court. Think about the mine supervisors in other provinces across the country, who expropriated and extorted money, causing public resentment to boil, and they couldn't get 60,000 taels a year. In contrast, it shows that Li Long's credit is coming.

"Gonggong Li is now a young eunuch of the internal official prison, and he is quite favored by the emperor, all thanks to the gold mine that Su Baihu helped find, as well as ...... That one. As he spoke, Vientiane made a gesture of looking in the mirror, and Su Hao nodded knowingly.

When Su Hao met Li Long in Nanchang, Li Long asked him if he had any gifts that he could give to Wanli's favorite concubine Zheng. Su Hao had an idea, and sent a glass mirror made by Hao Yizong to Li Long, and asked Li Long to transfer it to Concubine Zheng. Looking at the meaning of Vientiane now, this mirror seems to have played a big role, helping Li Long win the position of internal official and young eunuch.

Among the 12 eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty, the internal official supervisor was an important department second only to the celebrant supervisor. The duties of the internal officials and supervisors are in charge of various civil engineering buildings in the palace, and they are also in charge of the Rice and Salt Bureau, the Construction Warehouse, the Imperial Altar Library and other departments. It is very interesting that the ice cellar in the palace is also supervised by the internal officials, according to the regulations, after the winter festival every year, the internal officials and supervisors should unveil the post, take the ice flag army to the house, and dig the ice into the warehouse for the use of the palace in the summer of the second year.

Li Long became the young eunuch of the internal official eunuch, that is, the second-in-command, and his power was limited to the eunuch who held the palm seal, which could be regarded as a position of authority. He once promised Su Hao, saying that as long as Su Hao could help him take the position, he would promote Su Hao. Now it seems that he is really a trustworthy person, and at the beginning of his tenure, he won an opportunity for Su Hao to enter Beijing and face the saint.

"So, this holy decree was begged for me by Gonggong Li?" Su Hao asked.

Vientiane said: "Gonggong Li really praised Su Baihu in front of the saint, and the saint Longyan was happy, and immediately asked the celebrant to draft a decree to ask Su Baihu to enter Beijing. Gonggong Li also specifically said that the public opinion exploration camp brought out by Su Baihu was good at mineral exploration, so the saint specifically said that the public opinion exploration camp would also enter Beijing together, and the holy lord would personally test the ability of the public opinion exploration camp. ”

Su Hao really couldn't laugh or cry, maybe in Li Long's mind, he felt that creating an opportunity for Su Hao to be received by Wanli was a favor for him, but Su Hao felt that this matter sounded so unreliable. Wanli may have some interest in prospecting, so he wanted to review the exploration camp on a whim. But what about after that? When Wanli's enthusiasm subsides, what else can the Kanyu Camp do? The Kanyu Battalion is a force, it is prepared for war, and when it is stirred up by Li Long like this, it becomes a juggling troupe, maybe Wanli will let the Kanyu Battalion show him some skills, but what is the point of this?

Su Hao stuffed Vientiane with some silver, sent him away, and then said to Chen Dao: "Brother Chen, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Chen Dao said with a smile: "Congratulations to Su Baihu, if you can be received by the saint, Su Baihu will definitely have a bright future." ”

Su Hao smiled bitterly: "Brother Chen, the younger brother is also a person who has worked hard, and now that he is in trouble, will Brother Chen really die and not save him?" ”

Chen Dao was stunned and said, "What's the trouble?" You don't call the Holy Summons trouble, do you? ”

"Isn't it?" Su Hao asked rhetorically, "We originally planned to go to Yunnan to make contributions, and with a holy decree, we have to go north." Running thousands of miles, just to make the emperor look lively, I feel bored no matter how I think about it. ”

Chen Dao said helplessly to Fu Zhong: "Commander Fu, have you seen it now?" This Su Hao is so out of tune. If others are summoned by the Holy Lord, they are not allowed to burn incense and pray, and then run to tell each other. But when you look at this Su Hao, he seems to be full of reluctance. ”

Fu Zhong stepped forward, patted Su Hao's shoulder, and said, "Change, don't underestimate the summons of the saint." With your merits, the Holy One will not summon you in vain, and he will certainly reward you. What an honor this is, don't take it lightly. ”

"Okay, then the subordinates will reluctantly go to the capital. However, the survey camp was trained for Deputy General Deng of Yunnan, and I am afraid it is not suitable for me to take it to the capital halfway. What do you teach me? Su Hao said.

Fu Zhong said: "Since the holy decree requires you to bring the survey camp with you, then it is okay for you to go." No matter how big Deputy General Deng is, can he disobey the holy decree? ”

Su Hao said: "I'm not afraid of anything, I just feel a little pity." The survey camp was originally cultivated for the Yunnan border, and now it has been transferred to the capital without an inch of success, which I think is too wasteful. ”

Chen Dao thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, let's divide the survey camp into two." Brother Su took half of it to the capital to meet the saint. The other half continued to Yunnan to complete the mapping of the Yunnan border. The saint only said that he wanted to see the survey camp, but he did not say how many people he would see. Originally, there was no quota for the survey camp, and there were less than half of them, so I'm afraid the saint wouldn't mind, right? ”

"That's fine." Su Hao nodded, there was only this way at the moment.

"Brother Yu's affairs here have also been completed, and he will return to Beijing in the near future to resume his life, and now it seems that the two of us can go together again." Chen Dao said to Su Hao with a smile.
