Early the next morning, Fanning sat in the official room and considered the establishment of the Shenwu Military Office, which was different from the East Palace, and the civilian officials of the Military Office were basically decided by him.

Fan Ning first considered Song Ling and Tan Shenzhi of Ying Tianfu, these two people were raised by themselves, and they were deeply influenced by themselves to change the law, and they tended to be conservative, such people would not be favored by Wang Anshi, and it was inevitable to be treated coldly, Song Ling was very capable and experienced, Fan Ning considered transferring him to the military to join the army as a record, Tan Shenzhi was cautious and cautious, and he was a Shicao Sishi for five years, and he could be regarded as an old Shicao, so he could continue to serve as Shicao to join the army.

Fan Ning decided to take this opportunity to help his old friend and transferred Lu Youwei and Duan Yu out of Taixue, and both of them joined the army as Liucao.

After thinking about it for a morning, the time was almost noon, and at this time, Wang Xi, a tea boy, reported at the door: "Qi Zhan Shi, someone outside is looking for him, saying that it is Zhan Shi's old Kunzhou bureaucracy." ”

If there is no last sentence, Fan Ning may not be willing to see, he is really worried that someone will come to look for him in the past two days, this morning when he went to the court, he met several groups of people, it is said that his father-in-law Zhu Xiaoyun's mansion, there are actually many people to visit him at night, fortunately not many people know where he lives.

Fan Ning hurriedly walked out of the gate of the East Palace, he saw Yu Xiaonian who was a little lost at a glance, Fan Ning was stunned, how could he be in the capital?

Yu Xiaonian happened to be in the capital on business, he only entered Beijing early this morning, and he didn't know the situation in the capital, when the officials informed him that he was going to be transferred to the East Palace, Yu Xiaonian was like a blow to the head, completely stunned, he actually let himself go to the East Palace, who did he offend?

"Lao Yu, why are you in the East Palace?" Fanning stepped forward and asked with a smile.

"I remember that you were transferred to the Zuo Yuan, and I went to the Zuo Yuan to look for you just now, only to know that you have been reappointed as the crown prince Zhan Shi, congratulations on your promotion!"

Seeing his listless appearance, Fan Ning couldn't help laughing, "You actually went to the Zuo Yuan to find me, it was the Yellow Calendar hundreds of years ago, don't you care about the affairs of the court?" ”

Yu Xiaonian suddenly remembered, and couldn't help but pat his head, "I forgot, you just hung up on the title of counselor, and you were transferred to Yingtianfu at the beginning of last year." ”

"Ying Tianfu is also an old yellow calendar, let's go! I'll invite you to drink. ”

Fan Ning took Yu Xiaonian and walked towards the Qingfeng Restaurant outside the imperial city.

There was no room left, they found a table in the corner on the second floor, Fan Ning ordered a pot of wine, a few good dishes, he saw that Yu Xiaonian was still preoccupied, so he smiled and said: "Is it a notice from the Ministry of Officials to transfer the East Palace?" ”

Yu Xiao sighed elder, "I'm only thirty-five years old!" is actually going to be transferred to the East Palace for retirement. ”

An officer next to him 'poof! 'squirted out the wine, and there were still people who were suffering from the East Palace, brother, I'm in the third division, let's change it!

Fanning glared at the official next to him, and the official immediately changed his seat and sat down in the distance.

"Lao Yu, I only have two words with you, and you will understand, the first sentence, your transfer to the East Palace is my suggestion."

Yu Xiaonian's eyes widened, and before he could speak, Fan Ning waved his hand to stop him, "Listen to my second sentence!" ”

Fan Ning said slowly: "From yesterday to today, more than a dozen officials have begged me to transfer them to the East Palace, including the powerful officials Wailang. ”

Yu Xiaonian didn't feel right no matter how stupid he was, so he asked in a low voice, "Why?" ”

"It's very simple, now His Royal Highness King Liang is in the East Palace, and the Son of Heaven transferred ten officials to the East Palace to lay the foundation for King Liang."

Yu Xiaonian gasped, King Liang actually entered the East Palace, of course he knew that King Liang would become the emperor's grandson, but after all, he was not canonized, so he didn't expect that the East Palace would become a place of gathering clouds.

His voice trembled with excitement, "Is it to follow His Royal Highness King Liang?" ”

Fan Ning nodded, "King Liang wants to deal with state affairs in the East Palace, and needs some auxiliary ministers, I recommend you to serve as the Zuo Chunfang Order, from the fourth grade, Lao Yu, you have to be promoted to one level!" ”

Yu Xiaonian was so excited that he covered his face, in just a moment, he seemed to have flown from hell to heaven, his heart was full of joy, and it took him a while to control his emotions and say: "Envoy, thank you!" ”

"Don't be so polite, we're old friends, tell me about the situation in Kunzhou!"

Yu Xiaonian is still concurrently serving as a judge of the overseas Jiedu Mansion, and he has just returned from Kunzhou for less than a year, so he still has a lot of contacts with Kunzhou.

"The official roads of Kunzhou have been built, the official roads are five feet wide and long, and they are very smooth and solid, after several years of heavy snow tests, there are no problems, and now from Tang County to Jin County, ride two horses and travel quickly, set off in the morning, and can arrive at night."

"What's going on in Jin County?" Fanning asked again.

When Fanning left, the approval of Jin County had already come down, but the city wall had not yet been built, and only a circle of canals was dug to surround the town at that time.

"Jin County has been completed, but the population is not too much, only about 1,000 households, and a river in the east of Jin County was also found to have golden sand, which attracted the people of the whole county to run to pan for gold, and even the people of Tang County and Han County also ran away, and it was fanatical for almost a year."

The problem of gold rush for the common people has always been a big matter for Fanning, and it has not been solved until he left, and he asked with great interest: "How did the gold rush finally come down?" ”

"You have to be ruthless, one is to reduce the purchase price, every two gold sand government only uses three hundred dollars to buy, and then Kunzhou strictly prohibits the use of gold as currency, and even marrying a wife is not allowed, the third way is to increase the price of grain, dou rice 100 Wen, those people who abandoned farming and ran to pan for gold were miserable, hungry for a year, and finally posted all the gold sand to buy food, living conditions dropped sharply, and the people who did not go to gold panning lived very nourishingly, everyone woke up to the fact that gold is useless in Kunzhou, In the second year, basically no one went to pan for gold, desperately farming. ”

"Then does anyone want to return to the Great Song?"

"There are also, mainly the elderly, want to be buried in their hometown, and their parents are buried together, we will launch a measure, after the death of the elderly, we will build a tomb in their hometown to meet their wishes, of course, the cost is at their own expense, each person will receive about 50 yuan, which can be repaid in ten years."

"What about Japan? What's the situation in Japan? ”

"There should not be much change on the Japanese side, the infighting is very fierce, we have found a third silver mountain in the country of Dewa, the reserves are larger, it is easy to mine, Japan alone can provide three million taels of silver and four hundred thousand taels of gold every year, and now Kunzhou and Japan have become the largest source of gold and silver in the Great Song Dynasty."

Fanning did deeply understand that the Great Song Dynasty had a lot of financial prosperity in the past two years, basically there was no overdraft, and it gradually made up for the overspending in the previous year, and overseas trade was exchanged for abundant materials, mainly spices and precious timber.

"How's the situation with War Horse and Whale State?"

"The war horses are almost 100,000, 10,000 are shipped back in the early spring of this year, and 30,000 will be shipped back next year, and we have opened up a pasture in the country of Dewa, mainly raising short stallions, relying on them, transporting the rough silver smelted in the mines, and supplying the Great Song Dynasty next year."

"As for Whale State, it is still too cold, and it is currently mainly logging and mining, and silver ore is transported to Han County for smelting."

The two drank and chatted, completely immersed in the memories of Kunzhou.

The next day was the end of the day, Fanning's family arrived in the capital in the morning, their boat directly arrived at the private dock of the mansion in Feihongqiao, and went ashore to enter the house, the fleet totaled more than 20 ships, all of which were medium-sized ships of 500 stones, except for five passenger ships, the other dozen or so were cargo ships full of luggage.

Zhu Jie took more than a dozen servants to help move all the luggage into the house.

Zhu Pei said to Fanning with great emotion: "After so many years of moving, only this move is the most comfortable, door to door, go directly to the boat over there, and this side is too, you will arrive home when you go ashore, and the fatigue will be minimized." ”

In fact, not only Zhu Pei felt this way, but all the servants and servants felt comfortable, and when they went ashore, they went directly back to their own houses, made their beds, packed their belongings, and were ready to sleep well.

You don't even have to worry about lunch and dinner, all of them are provided by Qingfeng Restaurant on the south bank of Feihongqiao.

At this time, Fanning found that his daughter Ah Zhen was pouting and her eyes were red, he was very surprised, and hurriedly picked up her daughter and asked, "Zhen'er, why are you crying?" ”

"My fawn, my rabbit." Ah Zhen hugged his father's neck and cried.

Fan Ning then remembered that there was a mountain in Ying Tianfu's house, and they were a lake here, so he hurriedly said, "Isn't there a hill by the lake?" ”

A mound was indeed built by the lake, covering an area of about three acres, three zhang high, planted with more than a dozen big trees, and a pavilion was also built, forming a very exquisite mountain scenery, of course, it cannot be compared with the ten acres of mountains in Chaifu.

"Our mountain is too small." Ah Zhen pumped and accosted.

Fan Ning said ruthlessly: "We have all the lakes covered with grass, the mountains can raise little hedgehogs, little squirrels and deer, and the grass can raise little rabbits and lambs, Daddy will go and buy them back today, do you say okay?" ”

Ah Zhen finally burst into tears and laughed, "Okay! ”

Everyone next to him rolled their eyes at Fanning.
