Towards the end of February, the whole Daheng slowly passed through from the south to get a little breath of spring.

The snow and ice on the road slowly melted, and the mud and dirty water everywhere turned into potholes on the official road. The carriage bounced on the road one foot deeper, one foot shallow, and the sour scholar who couldn't pick his shoulders and couldn't resist it was about to die.

The white-faced scholar lifted the curtain, took a long breath, forcibly endured the tumbling of the river and the sea in his stomach, and said to the little guy who was walking with the carriage outside: "Wanjuan, why don't you stop for a while and leave again at night?" ”

It's colder at night, and the mud on the road will freeze again, at least not as much as it is now......

Vomit......

Tan Huaiyu propped his head on the window frame, feeling that he had escaped the guns and arrows in the court, but he was about to die on the way south to Luoyang.

Wan Juan shrunk his neck, grinning because of the wind, and finally opened his mouth: "Second master, it's too cold at night, and it's not safe, few people can stand it." ”

Tan Huaiyu was dizzy, and just took the little fresh air by the window, smoking a big cigarette and inhaling all the cold and hot air around his mouth and nose. This way south should have been faster by water, but when the canal froze, I had to take a slow and bumpy land route.

It's just that...... Now that the road has turned into soup and water, I'm afraid that the canal can also go?

Tan Huaiyu was thinking in his heart that he would change the water route in two days, but he didn't expect Wanjuan to count him down: "Second master, don't read the letter in the car, it's strange if you don't get a headache."

Tan Huaiyu let out a long sigh and shook his head helplessly.

If you don't look at it, there is no way, the Beijing Division is the same as the Liaodong front, and there is no time to stop.

At the end of the first month, good news and bad news came at the Liaodong front - the Tunliang City of Juehua Island let Wuliangha serve a pot, but the general soldier who did not want to die took Jinzhou City in one go when he ran out of ammunition and food, forcing the main force of Wuliangha to retreat north again.

Qiu Yingong's eldest godson, Tian Xin, is in charge of a huge household, and has always been lenient with himself and strict with others - what his henchmen want, extravagance and waste are not uncommon at all; But if it is this kind of thorny political enemy, I don't care what kind of dangerous method he has on the Liaodong front, he will shrink and shrink as usual, and sprinkle tens of thousands of words, as if he will not be able to live if he gives Liaodong silver money Daheng.

Originally, the military department Shangshu Sun and the limelight were as big as fighting, but finally couldn't stand it anymore, and cried at Wan Chengping, who was the second assistant of the cabinet.

Master Sun has a long-term vision, and people are also transparent, and he knows the truth that "Liaodong must not be guarded against", but he is not as brave as a quail, and he has no ability to tear up with Tian Xin at the court meeting, so he has to find someone else to charge for him.

As for why he went to the cabinet deputy assistant Wan Chengping instead of the first assistant Yu Jian, it was because ...... This seems to be a eunuch!

Lord Shoufu has been fighting with Yin Gong recently, and the hookup is not clear, Sun Quail doesn't know how far the two of them have traveled, and he really doesn't have the courage to come forward and shine.

As for Chen Hui, who is also quite talented in the cabinet, he does not dare to move forward. Although Chen Hui is already working for the front line in Liaodong, it is easiest to twist a rope with him, but ......

His family also bought land, although it was not stirred into the muddy waters, but it was an old-school family. Behind Chen Hui is the new school, and the Chen family is the leader of the new school. Master Sun, who is not slippery, doesn't want to have anything to do with the new school, so he can only find Wan Chengping, the second-aided assistant who looks neutral, to cry.

Wan Daren put on a straight face, brushed his goatee seven or eight times, and finally came down.

Lord Sun breathed a sigh of relief, and almost recognized Master Wan as his godfather.

The contradictions between the old and new factions on the struggle of the "One Whip Law" were officially transferred to the front line in Liaodong, and the adults who had been sharpening their knives turned their fangs to the outside and collectively rushed to the eunuchs.

It was under such circumstances that Tan Huaiyu went south to Luoyang to investigate the case.

What he wanted to read was a letter from his uncle Chen Hui - although the money on the front line in Liaodong had been settled, and the military salary had probably been loaded on the road, Jingzhong still did not stop.

Several ports have successively made incidents of falsifying the "sailing order" and slashing and killing officials of the city's shipping department, and a large number of cases have been investigated by pulling out radishes and bringing them out of the mud, and there are problems everywhere. Therefore, taking advantage of the tight fighting on the front line in Liaodong and the opening of the port is really not conducive to the defense of the border fortress, the northern port was closed in one go.

Only nine of the thirteen ports left by the "Dingyuan switch" of the previous dynasty are left, and because of the recent strict investigation of the "sailing order", the grass and trees are all soldiers, half-dead, and they have long ceased to be prosperous.

Chen Hui wrote in the letter: "Today, I am in the state of rotten water beetles in the Daheng Dynasty, which is really not a good situation. Brother Wangxian thinks before acting, and protects himself before he speaks. A thick worry came to his face, causing Tan Huaiyu's brows to wrinkle together.

Although Zhou is an old state, its life is renewed.

These words are in the Book of Songs.

Although the Chen family is a new school, after all, Daheng did not take the new examination when he took the imperial examination, but still read the Four Books and Five Classics to make policy articles, which the Chen family knows, and Tan Huaiyu, who "gets rid of the old and enters the new", also knows

But why do some people only pick what they want to watch, and such a sentence just falls down?

After reading Chen Hui's letter, Tan Huaiyu finally leaned on the cushion in the car and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Sort out what is in front of you first.

Luoyang is the Central Plains region, which is completely different from the places where ports are opened along the river along the coast.

This "old" has two meanings.

The ancient capital of several dynasties, the original prosperity was abnormal, and it was the accompanying capital of the previous dynasty, the so-called "Xijing", the family background is thick, but the family background is also bad. Penniless stunned young people are more likely to be hot-headed and willing to challenge and try new things, but not necessarily those with big families. Interests have always been intertwined, and things that are difficult to give up are gone.

What's more, "old" also means stubbornness and crippling.

Therefore, even if it is a typical old-school agricultural policy, the "one whip law", the implementation will be hindered and stagnant because it touches this group of "old" masters.

Not to mention that he is still a "getting rid of the old and entering the new", and it will only be more difficult to go to investigate the case.

Thinking of this, Tan Huaiju, who has been calm and gentle all year round, couldn't help but be irritable in his heart.

What's going on in Daheng in the past two years.

The sea trade is not prosperous, the agricultural capital is not solid, Liaodong is still fighting, and there will inevitably be a group of displaced people who need to settle down after the war, and there are things everywhere.

Since Emperor Longwu founded the country, it has only been decades since Emperor Longwu founded, and he has not seen how to expropriate and extort violently, how did he get to the point where it seems to be full of holes now?
