Wan Zhixin in the previous life, in the three years of Yonglong, he did not see the complicated situation below through the appearance at all, and he also let Tiedou City go freely.

At that time, Wan Zhixin took it for granted that he rejected Ping Qinian's proposal, just to prevent Ping Qinian from attacking merchants and increasing the growing power of Dongchang.

Now that he has reached an agreement with Yu Muhuai's opinion, Ping Qinian does not bother with the source of the news, but tilts his back and asks in a deep voice.

"The emperor already has a plan?"

Yu Muhuai put his hands behind his back, looking like an old god was there, and turned his head to look at Ping Qinian.

"Admiral Ping, this matter is handed over to your people from Dongchang, I can rest assured."

Yu Muhuai's words sounded normal on the surface.

Dongchang has always been subordinate to the emperor, and it stands to reason that it only listens to the emperor's dispatch and is a special agency of the state.

But in fact, it is almost the private property of Ping Qinian now.

In the hands of Dongchang, there are secrets of various court ministers.

Some even the words of the minister in the boudoir with his wife and concubine and the beauty can be known by Dongchang and then recorded.

Yu Muhuai: So the East Factory is a group of people who like to listen to the foot of the bed......

With the imperial city as the center, the further it extends outward, the closer it is to the border, the less the Dongchang knows about the officials and wealthy merchants.

By the time they reached the northwest border, the East Factory knew even less about the iron merchants.

But the fact that there is no pork in the store does not mean that the butcher has a rusty skill in slaughtering pigs.

Ping Qinian, the commander of Dongchang, is a spy leader to put it bluntly, he has a group of Dongchang elites under him, with a keen sense of smell, ruthlessness, and calmness.

It must not be difficult to send such a group of people to the Northwest Iron Dou City, and then find a way to find evidence of the transactions between the iron merchants and the Jianguo.

However, if you completely let go of the people in the East Factory, it means.

All the assets, money, animal skins, tea, livestock, and a whole bunch of things that could not be counted by the iron merchants in Tiedou City were all distributed by the East Factory.

The group of iron merchants who have been privately engaged with Jianguo are no, they have been privately trading for several years, and they are really rich.

In the previous life, when the northwest fell several years later, Wan Zhixin received some relevant news.

At that time, he knew that the Northwest Iron Merchants had already collaborated with the enemy and treason, and had become the logistics base camp in front of the Jianguo Kingdom.

Just seeing some of the wealth recorded above, Wan Zhixin was dizzy for a while, his eyes were dark, and he almost fainted.

Not to mention the real number over there.

Needless to say, it is definitely beyond Yu Muhuai's imagination at present.

Yu Muhuai couldn't help but curse a dirty word in his heart.

Those who ate Lao Tzu spit it out!!

She looked down at the imperial robe on her body.

Wan Zhixin, this emperor is so miserable!

In the previous life, until Wan Zhixin's death, in the thirteen years of his reign, he had a total of three imperial robes.

Later, the royal robe was covered with patches, and there was no money to find a tailor to repair it, so it was all mended by the same frugal queen herself.

Yu Muhuai has been wearing this piece for three years.

The royal robe was washed a little white, and even the threads at the seams were about to fall out.

In order to be able to wear the imperial robe to support the scene when he went to court, Wan Zhixin will change back to his regular clothes as soon as possible after the next court.

But there are only a few of his regular clothes turned over and over.

In the previous life, Wan Zhixin repeatedly used his private money to subsidize military salaries, but in the end, he really had no money and wanted to borrow money from the ministers.

Several corrupt and bribed-taking ministers cried so much that they were poor, and they also learned from the emperor to start patching, but the patched fabric was several times more expensive than the fabric of the original robe.

One of them even pretended to sell the house, and finally found out a little money and gave it to Wan Zhixin, but this money was less than the money for this person's food for a month.

Yu Muhuai remembers very well that this old guy who pretends to sell houses is named Xue Fenglai, the right waiter of the Ministry of Rites.

He also had an identity, which made Wan Zhixin unable to move him at that time.

Xue Fenglai is the emperor's father-in-law and the queen's father.

Yu Muhuai narrowed his eyes and sneered in his heart.

I'm going to see how I can't move.

"Your Majesty?"

Seeing that Yu Muhuai didn't know what he was thinking, the aura around him was a little cold in vain, and Ping Qinian was puzzled.

He always felt that today's emperor was weird.

Yu Muhuai turned his head to look at Ping Qinian.

"Admiral Ping, I have sent you Dongchang to secretly investigate the treason of the iron merchants.

At the same time, I will send Duan Kui, the commander of the Mo'an Iron Cavalry, to assist Dongchang. If the evidence is conclusive, all the iron merchants should be imprisoned and questioned.

All the wealth held by the iron merchants was used for military pay and disaster relief.

Do it now, don't make a mistake! ”

When he heard Duan Kui's name, Ping Qinian secretly screamed in his heart: "I see! ”

In the history of every country, there must have been several feared armies.

Everywhere they went, the enemy was terrified and scattered.

The Mo'an Iron Cavalry is such a force.

The number of Mo'an Iron Cavalry is small, less than 30,000.

However, they were all brave and good at fighting, especially on horseback, so they were called iron horsemen.

However, in the last few years from the previous life to the Cong Kingdom, even if the Mo'an Iron Cavalry was good at fighting, they were always unable to stop the enemy's million-strong army.

Duan Kui was originally a civil official, but later because of Ping Qinian's exclusion, he was sent to the northwest and became a military general.

Turning from literature to martial arts is impossible for some people, but Duan Kui has made the transition very easily.

It seems that he was born to be a military general, but he entered the wrong industry more than 20 years ago.

The dispute between the state of Jian and the state of Cong has been a long time, and when the previous emperors of Wan Zhixin were in power, the country was harassed as before.

Duan Kui built a defensive line in the northwest and also built a city wall, and more than 6,000 hectares of tuntian, thus resettled millions of refugees.

It is precisely because of the existence of Duan Kui that the situation in the northwest can still be controlled.

It's a pity that in the last life, Duan Kui was shot in the eye by an enemy arrow in a battle.

A few days later, he died of inflammation due to infection.

Wan Zhixin cried bitterly for this, and couldn't cry.

Cong Guo lost such a fierce general as Duan Kui, which also greatly increased his own defeat.

....

Ping Qinian heard Duan Kui's name from Yu Muhuai's mouth, and although he was unhappy, he could only press it.

After all, Duan Kui was sent to the northwest because he offended him.

Who knows, it is a small grass in the cracks of the stones that cannot be defeated, leaving the imperial city, Duan Kui is actually very happy in the northwest mixed land.

Since the rectification of the iron merchants was carried out in secret, Yu Muhuai and Ping Qinian did not tell anyone except the parties concerned.

Yu Muhuai wrote a letter in his own hand, headed Duan Kui, signed Emperor Yonglong, handed it to Ping Qinian, and asked his people to bring it to Duan Kui.

The next night, a group of people took advantage of the boundless night and quietly left the imperial city.
