Brother Lian watched Li Twelve run away, and was so angry that he threw the clothes he was holding on to the ground, "Bastard, dare to escape." Xiaoye, do you know water?"

Ye Yanshan nodded: "Yes, but not as fast as Li Twelve." ”

"I won't, never in my previous life. Brother Lian said through gritted teeth.

The two returned to Xinningbo's Mansion, and Brother Lian was so angry that he had a headache all the way, and rushed back to Jiantong Courtyard with a snort, and Ye Yanshan persuaded him from time to time behind him.

Seeing that he was back, Da Hei hurriedly ran to bring a pot of boiling water and make her tea. She asked Ye Yanshan to drink by herself in the yard first, and she went back to the house to go to the toilet, wash, and clean up, and finally calmed down. should be that kid's fate, even if she knows how to water, she can't go into the water to chase for these two days, forget it, I have already asked what I want to ask, let him go for the time being.

I picked up Ye Yanshan's sachet again and smelled it, probably because it left his body, and the body odor was much lighter. She walked out of the house and saw Ye Lingshan drinking tea with his back to her, sitting upright, dressed in fine cloth like the breeze and the moon, and his white and slender fingers gently pinched the white teacup, and his posture was very elegant.

She walked over and sat across from him, Ye Yanshan poured her a cup of tea, and said, "It's good to be able to find so many clues today, don't be angry." ”

"Well, I'm not angry anymore, it's just that Li Twelve's kid must have discovered something, and he ran away before he finished asking, as slippery as a loach. ”

"What else did you ask?" Ye Qishan asked.

Brother Lian sneered, "Zhang Mao and Jiang Zhi meet on the fifth day of the first month of every month, and the matter of negotiation is related to the military department. ”

"What did Li Twelve say?"

He didn't dare answer, but I could see it. Jiang Zhi is the housekeeper of Jiang Xinyi's mansion, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, so I suspect that the things they talk about when they meet every month are related to the things that the Ministry of Industry is in charge of. ”

"Reasonable. Ye Yanshan nodded.

"There are only a few things that the Ministry of Industry is in charge of, and I asked all the reasons I could think of. Did they catch up with the old villagers? Did they discuss secrets? Did they have anything to do with money? Did they have anything to do with water conservancy projects, water transportation, and palace construction? As a result, he only avoided his eyes when he talked about money, and all the other times he kept looking at me, even showing a little smugness, which shows that my speculation is far from the truth. ”

"Oh, it's about money, nothing else?"

Finally, when I asked about the military department, he began to avoid my eyes again, and when he asked if it was related to the creation of weapons, he looked at me again, and wanted to ask anything else, but he pushed me away and ran away. ”

"What does that mean?"

"The eyes are blocked, and they run away, which means that they don't want to face the truth, that is, I guessed right, what they talked about is related to the military department, about weapons or some kind of equipment. ”

Ye Yanshan couldn't help but lower his voice, "What does it involve the equipment of the military department? not a weapon, what could it be? armor, military uniforms, military boots?"

"Whatever it is, it's a very bulk production, and whoever gets this business makes a lot of money. ”

"What could it be?"

"The Bronze Coin Hero is wearing military boots, I don't know if it's a hint. When Zhang Mao used Shu Mao's identity, he was a cloth merchant or a military uniform. Lei Guogong is in charge of the Ministry of Industry, but Jiang Yixin, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, is a protégé of the Minister of Authority, and he handed over one of them to the Minister of Authority, which is to make it clear that he will send money to the Minister of Authority. Furthermore, if you do something with a little bit of manipulation, it will directly weaken the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. ”

Brother Lian couldn't help clenching her fists, she was already worried about the current situation in the imperial court. The three ministers of the regent, King Xian, Minister Quan, and Lei Guogong, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps. Lei Guogong's son Lei Ting is a general of this dynasty, and he is now leading the 30 armies to guard the border pass. King Xian held the 30,000 Imperial Forest Army to protect the safety of the imperial city, and the minister of power had a large number of court officials following, originally everyone maintained a superficial balance, but with the arrival of Ming Xi at the age of 20, this balance will definitely change subtly.

In recent years, the Praetorian Guard, which protects the emperor's safety, has also been greatly expanded, and the leader of the Praetorian Guard, Yan Wenhe, has shown the rise of the fourth force in addition to the three forces, and the power struggle of the imperial court is imminent.

The founding of the Great Calendar has only been 50 years, and Emperor Mingde of Qilong reigned for 40 years, which can be called a generation of Ming monarchs.

Speaking of which, his Ming family's country is actually usurped, Emperor Qilong's father Ming Ruqian was the prime minister of the previous dynasty, although he has a talent through heaven and earth, but the royal family of the previous dynasty is not only mediocre, but also self-righteous, brutal in power, abuse of people's power, tyrannical expropriation, excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, from top to bottom, layer by layer, corrupt officials.

The Ming family took advantage of officialdom to monopolize the supply of flour in the capital, and when they made money, they did good deeds and attracted a large number of followers.

Almost logically, Ming Ruqian directly rose up and launched a huge peasant uprising.

A peasant uprising led by a powerful person is probably the only one in a thousand in the past.

Brother Lian once thought that this was by no means a peasant movement that was impromptu and planned, but had been planned for a long time.
