After the matter was done, Wang Wanmu was in a very good mood, and he talked with his peers in the big car shop, and it didn't take long for these words to reach Zhao Jin's ears.

"Big brother, don't be careless, the Feng family's hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, there must still be means, they are just delaying the army now!" In Zhao Jin's study, Wang Zhaojing said solemnly.

The brothers could see that after Wang Wanmu came, Zhao Jin became a lot more relaxed.

"I know this, between us and the Feng family, it is nothing more than you and me, but now we can't destroy him, he also needs time to breathe, just to make peace, what will we do in the future, what is this verbal agreement worth?" Zhao Jin replied with a smile.

Seeing that Zhao Jin thought very clearly, Wang Zhaojing and Ruhui in the house were relieved, but Ruhui still suggested with a cautious expression: "The proprietor, such a wealthy family has done a good job in face, and secretly it is also ruthless, it is better to deal with it earlier, or to deal with it earlier!" ”

Zhao Jin nodded, glanced at the two of them and said, "You don't have to worry too much, you have to see the general trend, we are getting stronger, the Feng family is getting weaker, under this momentum, the Feng family can't turn over." ”

Everyone has no objection to this trend, Ruhui glanced at Wang Zhaojing, stepped forward and said: "Owner, that Cai De wants to build a big ship, saying that most of Cai Kui's ships are in disrepair, and it is okay to make a pontoon dock or something like that after repairing, it is not enough to intercept ships on the Yellow River." ”

"Give him the silver, tell him to do it seriously, after the ship is finished, you have to find someone who knows how to go over to inspect it, don't let him think that he can take advantage of the loophole!" Zhao Jin agreed very simply.

Ruhui hurriedly agreed, he came to the study mainly for this, got a reply, greeted Wang Zhaojing and Zhao Jin and left in a hurry.

"It's rare to see my eldest brother spending money so happily, and he usually saves money." Wang Zhaojing smiled and walked to the desk.

"We are on the side of the Yellow River, not far from the canal, not to mention that there is a dense water network to the south, if there is a fleet to transport our Zhao Ziying, it will be very convenient to come and go!" Zhao Jin said with a smile.

Wang Zhaojing nodded, opened a wooden box on the desk, and took out a few booklets inside, and Zhao Jin sat at the desk and fell into a deep groan.

Now the more than 2,000 people and horses in the Zhao Ziying camp are not much, but once they move, so many people, so many people need supplies and equipment, and the transportation capacity of the vehicles and horses can be imagined.

Zhao Jin didn't care about so much, but to set up the salt market, he had to pinch the waterway, pinch the waterway to exterminate the water thieves, and recruit people on the water.

Ruhui and Wang Zhaojing both have the functions of the general manager, and they have always felt that Zhao Jin is very meticulous in money, and they thought that Cai De's request would be rejected, but they didn't expect Zhao Jin to agree so neatly, but everyone was a little surprised.

"Big brother, this is the latest Di newspaper, as well as my father's letter, and the younger brother has already finished reading it." Wang Zhaojing placed a few booklets in front of Zhao Jin.

It is Zhao Jin's habit to read Di Bao, and people who know about this matter think it is strange, it is really inexplicable that a local tyrant and martial artist in the countryside cares so much about national affairs.

No one even said that Zhao Jin was ambitious, how could a Haoqiang in Xuzhou have such a big mind, this is really too mismatched.

During Wang Zhaojing's study and exam, it has always been Ruhui who reads sentences to Di Bao, this job is not easy, it is not important, and it is very cumbersome, but Wang Zhaojing took this over after he came back, and several times Ruhui wanted to help, but Wang Zhaojing politely and resolutely refused.

As for what to show Zhao Jin the private letter of the Wang family, this is also because of Wang Zhaojing, although the Di Bao records the court and the world's major events, but the content of the accommodation is limited after all, and there are many useless news, such as the wedding and funeral of the vassal king, the changes in the sky, etc., Wang Zhaojing wrote a letter to ask Wang Youshan to collect the news from all over the capital, and transmitted it to Xuzhou in the form of a family letter, and then forwarded it to Zhao Jin to see.

The news of the imperial court and various places is also complicated and complicated, Wang Youshan's status is now more and more noble, and he has frequent exchanges with various places, and he has no time to write letters, for this, he also hired two clerks in the capital to do this, this is not anyone curious and surprised, the official eunuch family, always let his children have more contact with major events and government affairs, not to mention that Wang Zhaojing is already a person, and he will enter the officialdom sooner or later in the future.

Zhao Jin has been watching for a long time, and Wang Zhaojing also knows what Zhao Jin needs to know, and the more targeted the annotations are, for example, the officials who have been hired and removed from the imperial court often indicate what party they are involved in.

"In the past few months, I have seen the people of Donglin deposed." Zhao Jin flipped through it carefully and said with a smile.

"The Donglin Party regards everyone else as treacherous, the same pickled thing, they do it is righteous and awe-inspiring, for the sake of righteousness, others are treacherous, naturally unpopular, and these people in Donglin do not accept outsiders, but let other places unite and work together to deal with them." Wang Zhaojing explained with a smile.

Wang Zhaojing flipped through a booklet in the box, opened it and flipped through it a few times and said: "My father said that this Jingcha has cleared up Donglin's power, and it may not be a bad thing for everyone in Donglin, because this Jingcha is making a fuss in the official position, if it doesn't catch up, I'm afraid that there will be big cases everywhere to take people, and then it will be a matter of life and death, big brother, look at this." ”

As he spoke, he handed the booklet in his hand to Zhao Jin, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is the imperial court, Liaozhen, or even Shandong, there is no news related to Jurchen, but it is said that dozens of people from Liaozhen went out to the border, but they were all killed by Dongyi, and Liaozhen did not take it seriously. ”

Every time he talked about Dongyi in the northeast of Liaozhen, that is, the Jurchen tribes, Zhao Jin's expression always became very solemn, which made Wang Zhaojing very confused, and he couldn't come to any conclusion after studying it several times.

"People were killed like that? Does no one care? Zhao Jin asked in a solemn voice.

Wang Zhaojing smiled helplessly, shook his head and said: "The little brother originally thought that he was guarding the border and was inseparable from these barbarian Tatars, but now he knows that Lu Dao dares to be embarrassed, those border generals are inextricably linked with the outside, and they get rich together with those rich chiefs, what is the value of dozens of lives, it's not good, here will also say that these dozens of people are deserters and fugitives, and they died well!" ”

Zhao Jin exhaled, but he didn't speak, just opened another booklet and said: "Shandong is in a big drought again this year, we can take the opportunity to recruit some displaced people, as for the Wenxiang Sect to make trouble, I don't think there is any need to worry, they have already made a big fuss!" ”

Wang Zhaojing knew that Zhao Jin was changing the topic, every time he talked about the Jurchen side, Zhao Jin always wanted to talk and stopped, which made Wang Zhaojing very strange, but he was careful about doing things, even his own brothers would not get to the bottom of it.

"Big brother, if there was no guidance from the Smelling Fragrance Sect last time, the homeless people would not have rushed to Xuzhou, and I am afraid that there will not be too many homeless people who come to us this time." Wang Zhaojing said.

The last time the Wenxiang Sect instigated the displaced people to besiege Xuzhou, it was certainly ill-intentioned, but on the other hand, it was precisely because of their organization that a large number of displaced people were able to insist on coming from Shandong to Nanzhili.

Zhao Jin fell into silence, he patted the table with his hand, and suddenly said, "How much cash can we get in every year now?" ”

**********

In the middle of April, Xuzhou is also full of greenery, and the taste of early summer is already full, and among the white mountains and black waters outside the Guan, in addition to the pines and cypresses that are evergreen all year round, it is difficult to see green.

Many people in Liao Town know the road, go to the boundary of Jianzhou, and then go all the way to the east to the north, it will not take long to see the sea, the products on this road are extremely rich, the mountain ginseng, mink, deer antler, amber and other things that the Ming Dynasty urgently needs, most of them are produced here.

It's just that no one has walked here in Liaozhen for a long time, and it is difficult for merchants of the Ming Dynasty to enter this area now, and if they want to buy all kinds of products from Jianzhou and Haixi, they can only go to Hetuala.

In Shenyang City, go all the way to the east, along the Suzi River and then to the southeast, you can reach this small city, in the eyes of the merchants from the Ming Dynasty, this Hetuara is not so much a city, not a stockade, the main material of the city wall is adobe, you can also see the wooden planks and wooden pillars, although the scale is acceptable, but it can look simple and abnormal.

However, this acceptable scale should also be compared with whom, the larger county towns and state towns in the interior of the Ming Dynasty are much more magnificent than this.

The streets in the city are not wide, that is, the dirt floor, it is very muddy when it rains, maybe the shoes fall off when you step on it, most of the buildings on both sides of the street are wooden houses, brick houses are rare, and you can see the shacks, the most central area is slightly neater, a very large house, it looks like a big mansion in the Ming Dynasty, and you can see a few wooden buildings, it is a more surprising format.

It's so simple and vulgar, it's really unbearable, if this city is actually the capital, if the mansion is actually the palace, it will definitely laugh off the big teeth.

But no one dared to say that the Ming businessmen who came here to do business, and before they came, they had to warn the guys who came with them to take care of things, don't show it, here the Ming Dynasty thought it was their own vassal land, set up the jurisdiction of the local officials, and it was also called Jianzhou Wei in various documents, but the people themselves had already built the country, and it was clearly called Dajin, and this Hetuala was the capital of Dajin.

Older people can still remember, twenty years ago, thirty years ago, came here, laughed and laughed at these Jurchen barbarians at will, although these Jurchens can understand Chinese, but they will still treat each other with a smile, ten years ago if they say this again, I am afraid they will be beaten, in the past few years, they have directly drawn a knife to kill, swallowed the goods, and cried without crying.
