Chapter 20: The Best Messenger
Li Yiru's pen stopped.
"No additional taxes are allowed...... Isn't that a good thing? β
"Of course, a good thing is a good thing," Bai Ling said in a low voice, "but the battle against Jin in the fourth year, the fifth year of Shengming, and the sixth year of Shengming was not fought out of thin air. β
Li Yiru frowned, "...... I don't know much about any of that. β
"Because it's like always in Shuzhou." Bai Ling laughed and muttered, "...... The Shu road is difficult, and the Shu road is the same everywhere. β
Li Yiru nodded, "Yes, a few years ago, I lived with my father in the countryside of Chuanning, and the mountains were closed, and we didn't know until the third year of Shengming that the old emperor had died, and two of them died in a row." β
Bai Ling said softly, "The imperial court is not allowed to increase taxes below, but the battles in the north and east require food and firearms. Kyori came up with a set of his own plan to be implemented below, but the situation was different in different places, so there were policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom. β
Li Yiru thought about the wording and added this paragraph to the paperwork.
Bai Ling waited for a while, and then continued, "Huizhou is a special place, it and Qingzhou jointly undertake about three or four percent of the firearms production of the Great Zhou, and it is also called the granary of the Great Zhou along with Chuzhou...... The cultivated land in southern Huinan cannot be moved, and the farmers cannot be moved, but the mining in northern Huibei cannot be stopped......
"I remember that a few years ago, Huizhou's displacents had a remarkable effect, and Jingli also commended them, but now it seems that they may not have let the displaced people live in peace at all, but directly arrested people to mine - ah, don't write this paragraph, it's just my speculation."
"It doesn't matter," Li Yiru flew like the tip of his pen, "I marked this paragraph as speculation, and there was no real evidence." β
After a while, Li Yiru looked at Bai Ling again, "Now that the previous story has been written, what will you write next?" β
Bai Ling was silent.
Li Yiru scratched his head with the barrel of the pen, "...... Usually it should be the solution, right? For some reason, we should do this and that...... and so on. β
Bai Ling looked into the distance, supported his chin with one hand, and said for a long time, "...... I don't know. β
"Where do you want to send the excerpts after that?"
Bai Ling turned his head and saw that Mu Cheng had opened his eyes again, and he was looking at him seriously.
Bai Ling smiled, "Didn't Brother Mu sleep?" β
Mu Cheng sat up and looked at Li Yiru and Bai Ling with a tired face, "...... What can be done if I didn't fall asleep. How to write it next, of course, depends on where the document is sent. β
Li Yiru's eyes lit up, "Tell me about it?" β
Mu Cheng said softly, "...... My idea was to send it to Pingjing and hand it over to the Inspectorate, and then let them do the rest of the work. We Shengdou Xiaomin shouldn't have cared about this kind of thing in the first place, and last night's situation was a last resort, and of course we can't sit idly by when someone wants to blow up the arsenal...... But to the point, just make things clear, and what to do in the end is the above thing, let's not get too deep. β
Li Yiru nodded, "Well, I think Brother Mu is polite." β
"I agree with the second half," Bai Ling said softly, "we can't manage how things are done, we can't manage it, just make things clear, but it's not a good idea to hand it over to the inspectorate." β
"Why?" Mu Cheng asked.
"I asked Lao Xu last night how he got the route from the mine to the arsenal, but he wouldn't say." Bai Ling said in a low voice, "Let's not say it, but it's interesting to think about it." β
Li Yiru's brows tightened, "...... What do you mean? β
Bai Ling looked at Li Yiru, "These people have been wandering in Huizhou for three years and have not found out that the Huizhou Mansion is causing trouble, but two months ago, things suddenly progressed rapidly, not only did they know that the breakthrough was in the Yongping Dart Game, Lao Xu also directly mixed into a quite prestigious dart walker...... Isn't that weird? β
"I also thought it was strange last night," Mu Cheng narrowed his eyes, "they have a good grasp of the shift changes and patrols here at intervals, as if they have figured everything out in advance." β
"Yes, plus they were originally skilled miners in Qingzhou, and they are very flexible underground." Bai Ling said softly, "...... I can't think of anything else other than someone who secretly found them and helped them. β
ββ¦β¦ Do you suspect that they are being taken advantage of? β
Bai Ling nodded, "Yes, they have a strong motive to commit crimes, but they are still a little short of the ability to commit crimes, and someone happened to find them two months ago, so they hit it off...... Isn't that a natural thing to do? Maybe Lao Xu and the others are really working for the gold thief or the remnants of the blue-robed bandits, but they don't realize it. β
Mu Cheng and Li Yiru both held their breath.
"So I said that it is not convenient to go to the Inspectorate in this matter," Bai Ling said softly, "The Metropolitan Procuratorate is all openly written, and as soon as there is a disturbance in the capital, the Huizhou Mansion will soon get the news - we have already taken a break from the grass once, and the Huizhou side may have taken precautions, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate quarrels again, the matter will not be able to focus." At that time, maybe no one will believe Lao Xu's experience at all, and even if the government arrests people and civilians go into the well, they will also bite the rumors spread by the Jin people. β
"Reasonable!" Mu Cheng patted his knee lightly, "Then what do you want to do?" β
"It's best if we can quietly send the letter to Beijing and send it to the cabinet, so that they can send people to Huizhou to make secret visits to find out about the local yamen's clever pretense and arresting foreigners into the well." Bai Ling said softly, "If the matter is not big, maybe there is still room for turnaround, if it really comes to the table, now there are gold thieves outside...... Perhaps someone in the DPRK and China will really propose to take the initiative to suppress this matter for the sake of the overall situation. β
Mu Cheng and Li Yiru both nodded, "Who can deliver this letter for us?" β
"I've got a choice." Bai Ling said softly.
"Who?"
"When the eldest son of the second assistant of the dynasty, Zhang Jingzhen." Bai Ling said softly.
Li Yiru's eyes widened instantly, "...... Do you know the eldest son of the Jifu family!? β
"Of course...... I don't know it. Bai Ling hugged his arms.
Li Yiru and Mu Cheng's expressions instantly became dull.
Bai Ling laughed, "But I know that he stayed in Jiangzhou with his wife after he got married a few years ago. Zhang Jingzhen and the current saint are old friends of the young people, even if they can't let this document reach the heavens, they can still hand the letter to Zhang Shouzhong Zhang. β
Mu Cheng leaned against the tree and said with a frown, "This kind of thankless thing, can a second-assistant eldest son really do it?" β
"I think he will," Bai Ling whispered, "...... I'm sure he will. β
Mu Cheng glanced at Bai Ling deeply.
Li Yiru's originally weak face was already cheered up at this moment, "Doesn't that mean that the thing I wrote today may be presented to the Imperial Palace?" β
"Uh-huh."
Li Yiru reached out to cover his chest, and his breathing became shorter and shorterβhe seriously re-examined the crumpled white paper in his hand.
"Wait...... When I get to Jiangzhou, I will copy this letter well! Li Yiru said in a shocking voice.
