In Dengzhou in October of the sixth year of Chongzhen, commercial activities were stopped, and the appearance was calm. In fact, there are a lot of things going on outside of Dengzhou, and they all end up coming here.

After Geng Zhongming received the order, he went on the road to Jingshi, and every place he went to along the way to report to the trading company, he was as honest as a student of Tunpu. Wang Tingqian began to send people to Jinan to receive the money, grain, and mouth books of Qingzhou Mansion.

Chen Xin was busy with Chongzhen's seven-year training and battle plan in Dengzhou, and stayed in the General Military Mansion all day long.

The civil system is being adjusted, Liu Minyou took advantage of the winter when the business was less to begin to adjust, in Denglai and Qingzhou Prefecture divided into six divisions, namely Deng, Dengzhou, Pingdu, Jiaozhou, Qingzhou, Liaonan, each set up a civil officer, the subordinate institutions correspond to the civil department of the division, Mo Huai and Wu Youdao two struggled for half a month, divided the power of the local civil officer and the division, the subordinate institutions are managed at both ends, the local official controls the money and grain, there is the department in charge of personnel, the affairs are guided by the division, and the daily affairs are under the jurisdiction of the civil officer, Civilian officers may mobilize up to 1,000 cantonment teams in peacetime, apply for assistance from the local garrison in case of emergency, and the garrison may mobilize the establishment below the division level to support, and the rank of civil officers shall be compared with the military battalion officers, which shall be the same as the directors of each department.

How the effect of civil officials still needs to be adjusted after the pilot, the pilot area is Pingdu Prefecture, Mo Huai is the actual civil officer of Pingdu Prefecture, the most experienced in this area, the civil affairs department members are stationed in Pingdu Prefecture, and Mo Huai to improve the coordination between institutions.

In addition to the affairs of the Civil Department, Liu Minyou also has the planning of the trading company and the money village, every winter is the time when he makes time for planning, and this year is the same, so he has been busy until the end of October, Chen Xin, who has not been in contact for a few days, suddenly asked the sea dog to come to Liu Minyou and asked him to go to the General Military Mansion to discuss things.

The General Military Mansion is actually an institution of the army, and Chen Xin does not have a study. Rather, it is an office room with a small bedroom. When Liu Minyou walked in, Chen Xin was thinking about it there. Liu Minyou ignored him and went to find a cup of tea by himself.

After sitting down, Chen Xin waved his hand to the sea dog, the sea dog pointed to his nose, Chen Xin said impatiently: "Go out, Lao Tzu has something to discuss with you Brother Liu." The fur dog quickly shrank and turned to go out.

Liu Minyou watched the sea dog go out, turned his head to Chen Xin and asked in surprise: "The sea dog is in a nest with you snakes and rats." You even brought your Yangzhou prostitute sister, what can't you let him know? ”

Chen Xin took out a report from the drawer, threw it to Liu Minyou, and lit a cigarette in the charcoal basin and smoked it.

Liu Minyou looked through it, and it was Chen Yijing's interrogation report. The front is all about the details of the information transmitted by the Houjin spy, Liu Minyou couldn't help but turn to the back with curiosity, and saw that there was a page underlined.

"Paid a bribe of 300 taels to Xu Yuanhua to help Wantong Store obtain a share of wholesale cigarettes." Liu Minyou frowned and continued to look down, "Because the wholesale of large cigarettes by the Department of Industry and Commerce needs Chen Yijing's countersignature, Xu Yuanhua has found Chen Yijing many times and asked Chen Yijing to approve the share of Yangxing shops in Pingdu Prefecture. Later, it was found out that the Yangxing Trading Company was run by Lu Ertun, a native of Yanggu, and that the people who had invested in it included Lu Chuanzong, Xu Yuanhua, and Huang Yuan, who not only sold cigarettes, but also obtained low-cost southern goods purchased from Jiangnan from the Department of Industry and Commerce. This year's profit is more than 20,000 taels ......"

Liu Minyou raised his eyes and looked at Chen Xin, "These people in Yanggu really don't change their ways, Xu Yuanhua I don't plan to stay, fortunately, the bribe of three hundred taels is not too much." I arranged for him to go to another place, Lu Chuanzong, what are you going to do. ”

"What is Lu Chuanzong. You look at the back. Chen Xin continued to smoke.

Liu Min looked at Chen Xin suspiciously, then lowered his head and continued to look, and after a while, he looked up and asked in surprise: "Xu Yuanhua actually bribed your family and asked her to greet Zhou Laifu and ask for a batch of cigarettes?" Who is this man? ”

Chen Xin stood up and said coldly: "This is Zhou Shifa's trial alone, there is no name written on the book, there are only a few people in the family, the mother-in-law will not pay attention to these things, Ju Xiang does not have this qualification, who do you say." ”

"Zhao Xiang? Is she still short of this bit of silver? ”

Chen Xin snorted, "She is not bad, what do she receive, a little jewelry gouache, Xu Yuanhua's concubine walks on my house every day, follows Zhao Xiang to fight horses and hang Shuanglu, and sometimes goes out on the street to incense these things, Zhao Xiang agreed as soon as she opened her mouth." You said that the Yanggu Gang is also advancing with the times, Xu Yuanhua used to occupy an area in the Ming Dynasty, and now he will also engage in lady diplomacy. ”

Liu Minyou lowered his head and thought for a while, "Zhao Xiang probably thought that he was just doing a favor and didn't think too much. ”

"Your mother, such a good opportunity to clean up the Yanggu Gang, what did you say Zhao Xiang was going to join in." Chen Xin gritted his teeth a little, Xu Yuanhua would definitely be dismissed, and it was reasonable to remove Lu Chuanzong, and these people in Yanggu couldn't say anything. Chen Xin's most dissatisfied with Yanggu is that it is all from one village, and it runs through civil, commercial and military, and they are extremely grouped with each other, this time it was an opportunity to clean up, but now that Zhao Xiang is involved, it is a little difficult to deal with Xu Yuanhua and Lu Chuanzong.

"Otherwise." Liu Minyou said in a low voice, "Only deal with Xu Yuanhua." ”

"On what grounds? There is no evidence to prove that they took a stake in Lu Ertun's store. ”

Liu Minyou thought about it and said: "It's easy to deal with Xu Yuanhua, no matter what he does, the share of the Department of Industry and Commerce is reserved for those merchants who can expand trade routes, that is to say, they can bring the goods they need to Denglai, and use cigarettes as a condition to attract them, the shop that Lu Ertun runs obviously does not have this qualification, and he is violating the work norms of the Department of Industry and Commerce." In addition, there is also joint and several responsibility for Chen Yijing's affairs, and it is okay to demote or transfer, so I plan to get a science and technology department, and I will not arrange things for the time being, so let Xu Yuanhua stay there. ”

Chen Xin nodded, "Do you think about the person to take over?" ”

"Xiao Heling, the former deputy director, is now in charge of the textile factory, and if he is transferred back, the textile factory will have to change another person, and now when it is expanding, it is also a little difficult to do."

Chen Xin's eyes kept changing, and finally sighed and said, "Then only withdraw Xu Yuanhua, Lu Chuanzong...... Transfer him to the martial arts school as the principal. ”

"Will he be willing? There is not even any justification for this treatment. ”

"It's not his turn to be willing or not, I raised the head of the martial arts school to the co-ordinator, he is promoted, and there is no need to reason with him, the army is not a place to reason. Let the Department of Industry and Commerce seal down the tobacco shop in Ertun, and Lu Chuanzong will know what is going on. If he is wise, he should not cause trouble again. ”

Liu Minyou was also quite dissatisfied with Xu Yuanhua's corruption again, and he still persuaded Chen Xin: "There is no evidence for Lu Chuanzong's shareholding, so it should not be too drastic, just transfer to an unimportant position, unrelated people are not involved, and it is not the Yanggu Gang that is all overthrown, let's not do the rectification." ”

Chen Xin nodded. "You just go to inspect the canal and Lin County, it's so far away from Denglai, I'm not at ease when others go, you take the people from the Finance Department and the Supervision Department to check carefully, it's always a small problem if the problem is found out early. If it drags on for a long time, it's a big problem. I'll deal with it here in Dengzhou, Lao Tzu told her not to do her job all day, Ju Xiang also gave birth to a boy, Lao Tzu changed Zhao Xiangsheng's surname to her surname, anyway, it was said back then, see that she also went to help people. ”

Liu Minyou was standing up and preparing to go back to prepare, when he heard this at the door. hurriedly came back and said: "Zhao Xiang, you have to be safe, she shouldn't be here to receive any benefits, don't make a fuss about this." ”

"I know," Chen Xin waved his hand impatiently. "By the way, help me call the adjutant in."

Liu Minyou shook his head and walked out, and after a while, the adjutant came in, and Chen Xin said to him: "Inform the officers above the thousand generals who stayed in Denglai to come to Dengzhou for a meeting, and in the morning after five days." It was arranged in the General Military Mansion and asked Fan Shouye to come over in advance. In addition, Wang Changfu was informed that the Guards Battalion would cancel its outings from the day after tomorrow, and the second-level combat readiness would be ............

After nightfall, Chen Xin returned home slowly, lanterns were hung everywhere in the house, and the snow scene in the courtyard looked very soft, Chen Xin went back to the study as usual, rested there to recuperate, and then read the book again, naturally there was a maid to inform Zhao Xiang.

After a while, Zhao Xiang came, looked at Chen Xin and said happily: "I can come back early today, I am the earliest in these days, but the affairs in the army are over." ”

Chen Xin looked at Zhao Xiang and said with a smile: "When the affairs in the army are over, after fighting this and that, the earth is so big, where can it be finished." ”

Zhao Xiang came over and stood next to his chair, and said softly while pressing his forehead: "You said this place is really a ball?" ”

"Well, it's round." Chen Xin tilted his head to look at her, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?" ”

Zhao Xiang pouted, "I heard from Song Wenxian's wife, the youngest son of the Song family has been studying in the university hall recently, and the last time he came back to tell the sister-in-law of the Song family that this place is round, and he can walk back to the same place if he walks in one direction, so he took a navigation course next year, and said that a few classmates have made an appointment to drive a boat around the earth in the future to prove it." The sister-in-law of the Song family said that he was stunned, and she cried and cried for me all afternoon, and asked me to go to the temple with him tomorrow to ask for a talisman and take this son to exorcise demons. ”

Chen Xin laughed, "Exorcise a fart demon, Song Wenxian's youngest son is interesting, better than the eldest son, next time you come back, you ask his mother to bring it over for me to see, I said that you can also read the textbooks if you are fine, don't fool around with these three aunts and six women." ”

"What nonsense, you're not at home, you don't talk to the women of these families, you're bored, it's fun to be with them."

Chen Xin sighed lightly and patted her hand, "You don't have a heart, but some of those women's families come with a heart." I am now the chief soldier of Dengzhou, and I have nearly a million people under my rule, and there are more people and more benefits, so you can play with them, but you also need to be more attentive. ”

Zhao Xiang asked in surprise, "What's the matter?" Who came with a heart? ”

Chen Xin hesitated for a moment, looked at Zhao Xiang for a while, and finally smiled gently: "It's okay, you can think about it yourself, but in the future, if you ask you to say hello and do something, you don't agree, it doesn't matter what happens at home, don't deal with the officials under my rule, including the trading company." ”

Zhao Xiang thought about it and smiled: "Okay, I don't want to deal with them either." Villain, you help me ask me to set up the textbooks of the university hall for you, I heard that this earth is written in some geography textbook by Mr. Liu, and it is said that Wang Zheng also has those books back then, but they are all things passed from the Hongyi people, and they are not conclusive when they ascend the university hall. ”

"Who said there was no conclusive conclusion." Chen Xin made a bone, and said proudly while grinding ink: "You should also learn things, master, I am free today, so I will give you a science popularization." The place where the Hongyi people live is called Europa, a group of Hongyi people came from west to east, went around the Cape of Good Hope into the Indian Ocean, and arrived at our place in China, and the other group went west, across the Atlantic Ocean to the Americas, and there were galleons in the Americas to continue westward, and also to the place in China, the direction is different but to the same place, naturally it is round. In fact, as early as a hundred years ago, there was a Hongyi man named Magellan who completed the circumnavigation of the world as the youngest son of the Song family, and now we also have young people like the youngest son of the Song family, and we can conquer the ocean as well......"

Chen Xin looked up after talking, Zhao Xiang was yawning, and when he saw Chen Xin stopping, Zhao Xiang gave him a blank look, "Net talking nonsense, the sister-in-law of the Song family is in a hurry, you are still not serious." ”
