The day after Zhu Hao arrived at Yongping Mansion City, Lou Suzhen and Ouyang Fei and his entourage arrived.

Lou Suzhen was dressed in a short outfit, looking very cool, and when she appeared in front of Zhu Hao, even Zhu Hao had to distinguish it a little to see Lou Suzhen's original appearance.

"Madam, you have worked hard all the way, I'm afraid you haven't suffered such a storm for many years, right? You might as well take a good break today."

Zhu Hao felt a little sorry for Lou Suzhen.

She didn't have to trouble Lou Suzhen, but she insisted on coming, not only because she was entrusted by Sun Lan, but also because she really wanted to help Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao is different from ordinary officials, his background is complicated, and now he has to take care of the affairs of the emperor and Yang Tinghe, and he must have someone who knows his background well as a guest to deal with local officials and gentry, which requires someone with a certain ability to help with it.

And around the little emperor, there are either Zhu Chen and Luo An, who are martial artists from brocade clothes, who are not good at officialdom communication; Either it is Gongsun Yi, Sun Ru and the like, it seems that they can help, but in fact, if they don't help, even if they don't help, it's good, to put it bluntly, the level of these people is not good, and they may not be able to do it as a staff member in a county.

If Tang Yin can come...... It's good, but obviously now that Tang Yin's identity and status are no longer open to Zhu Hao.

Lou Suzhen looked very relieved, and said with a smile: "Zhu Governor's Mansion should not be wrong, under the surname Mi, he was hired as the West Seat of Zhu Governor's Mansion, a native of Jiangxi Guangxin Mansion, and was employed by many officials from Jiangxi, and then went north because of an incident, but fortunately Zhu Governor's Mansion took him in."

Before meeting Zhu Hao, Lou Suzhen had already made up a rhetoric.

Lou Suzhen was originally a native of Guangxin Mansion, Jiangxi, and as for the "Exile to the North due to Events" compiled by her, it clearly implies that she had served as a guest for King Ning or his subordinate officials, but after the fall of King Ning, she had to go away incognito, and was hired by Zhu Hao after arriving in the capital.

The prefect's guests, even if they have a fake identity, must be realistic, if they are from other places, if they are questioned by others, how can Lou Suzhen answer? On the contrary, Lou Suzhen was very clear about the affairs of Guangxin Mansion, and he also hinted that he had plotted against King Ning and his officials, so when others asked, Lou Suzhen knew more.

The reason why Lou Suzhen dared to hint in this regard was also because after King Ning rebelled, in addition to investigating a few of the first evils, the rest of the officials involved in the case did not investigate deeply, but just resigned and returned to their hometowns.

But Zhu Hao's ...... Xinding, who has just entered the officialdom, is the first time to open a government to govern affairs, can he hire many experienced staff?

Logically speaking, Zhu Hao can only invite some marginal figures in the staff, which is very realistic.

……

……

The residence that Zhu Hao arranged for Lou Suzhen was in the backyard of the prefect's yamen, separated from Zhu Hao's residence, so that Lou Suzhen could not only take care of Zhu Hao's official affairs, but also help Zhu Hao do some things about serving tea and water.

As a master, naturally he can't live too far away from his employer, which is equivalent to the personal secretary of the big boss in later generations, so that the yamen can find people directly if he has something to do.

Zhu Hao arranged it like this, not because he wanted to come to a building near the water to get the moon first, he had no idea about Lou Suzhen, just because Zhu Hao knew that he would not stay in Fucheng for too long, and he would go to the mine when he turned around, and arrange Lou Suzhen close to his residence, so that when others came, Lou Suzhen could deal with it at any time, and pushed it for various reasons.

Zhu Hao even made up the reason......

Zhu Hao, the new governor of Yongping Mansion, was unable to adapt to the soil and water when he first came to your place, or an infectious disease, and he was afraid that he could not see the wind in the light, so he could only recuperate, and he could find "Mr. Mi" to talk to him if there was anything in the house, and he could ask the prefect for major matters, and the small things could be arranged by "Mr. Mi".

Zhu Hao was making some explanations with Lou Suzhen here, and a word came from outside, saying that Jiang Shantong was here again.

Zhu Hao took Lou Suzhen out to meet him.

Jiang Shantong was a little surprised when he saw Zhu Hao behind him with a person dressed as a strange scholar, but he didn't ask more.

Jiang Shan said: "Yesterday, the official gentry of Yongping Mansion has been

The adults prepared a reception banquet, but the adults did not attend the banquet, and the officials and gentry could understand that the adults had just arrived or had to rest first and handle the handover matters in the palace. So today...... A few more tables were set up, and the adults were invited to come over for a feast."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "The local gentry is too polite, so much of a waste makes the official very sorry."

Lou Suzhen looked at Zhu Hao with inexplicable eyes.

Even if Lou Suzhen knew that Zhu Hao's style as an official would be different from usual, she didn't expect that Zhu Hao had just been in charge of the ruling side, and his official tone was already decent.

"Then go and make arrangements, this official will be reluctant to make it difficult tonight, let's go over." Zhu Hao said.

"Yes, yes."

Jiang Shantong responded with a smile on his face, but he was thinking in his heart, it was someone else who broke the money, how could you make it as if you had suffered a big loss.

When a new official takes office, others will hold a banquet to entertain you, or they will give you gifts, and the invitees to such a good thing are usually rushed, why do you come to you, but pretend to be reluctant?

Zhu Hao said: "By the way, Jiang Tongzhi, let me introduce you, this is the guest hired by this official, Mr. Mi."

"Don't dare to be."

Lou Suzhen first saluted Zhu Hao, and then greeted Jiang Shan.

Jiang Shantong hurriedly returned the salute.

The prefect's Xixi, no matter what kind of fame he came from, his status is equivalent to the prefect's mouthpiece and speaker, and his status may be higher than that of him Jiang Shantong.

Lou Suzhen introduced herself: "Under the surname Mi, the word Jingde, a person from Guangxin Mansion, he has not followed the adult for a long time, and he has been seeking family affairs for the adult before.

"Guangxin Mansion? Great place! Great Confucianism is frequent!"

Jiang Shantong complimented casually.

One sentence made Lou Suzhen's face appear a little sad.

How great is Guangxin Mansion, is it not because of the famous physicist Lou Liang of the Ming Dynasty? Lou Liang is her grandfather, a famous Confucian in Guangxin Mansion, even if he is not Lou Liang's disciple, he has some connections, and these famous Confucians are not in a good situation now, because Lou Suzhen married into Ning Wangfu, and he was too widely implicated.

Lou Suzhen naturally blamed herself.

Zhu Hao smiled: "Mr. Mi is very knowledgeable, let's sit down and discuss it later."

Jiang Shantong looked admiring: "If you have the opportunity, you must listen to the teachings. Oh yes, I wonder who Mr. Mi is?"

Although Lou Suzhen made up a set of rhetoric, she didn't expect Jiang Shan to get to the bottom of it when she came up, which showed that she was not prepared.

Zhu Hao smiled and said, "Mr. Mi was taught by Mr. Ru Yeting, the name of the Lou family."

Jiang Shan heard the same and was in awe: "Is it a protégé of the Lou family? Disrespectful, disrespectful."

Lou Yeting, that is, Lou Suzhen's father, Lou Xing.

Lou Suzhen looked at Zhu Hao with slightly complicated eyes, as if asking, why did you involve my father?

"Okay, Jiang Tongzhi, let's not talk about Mr. Mi's knowledge first, let's talk about mining first."

Zhu Hao said with a smile, "Yesterday, the official's plan was not fully explained, and it just so happens that he may meet the local gentry today, so it is better to ...... Tell them a thing or two?"

"This ......",

Jiang Shantong originally wanted to test the strength of the guest next to Zhu Hao, after all, he would not have many opportunities to confront Zhu Hao head-on in the future, or he was not qualified to dock with Zhu Hao, and his real opponent in the prefect's yamen would be this prefect Xibin.

But when he heard Zhu Hao mention the nonsense of mining again, he couldn't help frowning, and he didn't care about talking to Lou Suzhen more, and his face became extremely serious.

Zhu Hao said, "What, isn't it?"

Jiang Shan said, "Before the prefect wants to talk about this, did he ask for the meaning of the middle hall? Xiaguan means to go to Zhongtang and ask Zhongtang to make a decision. Rushing to open a mine is afraid that it will bring a lot of trouble, not to mention the local gentry...... They may not be willing to contribute money and effort, and who wants to do such a thankless task?"

Zhu Hao said, "Why is it thankless? Open a mine, even if you make a show, you can't get a few hundred taels of silver...... If the local gentry refuse to pay, the official will pay in their name

Okay, right?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Shantong was stunned when he heard this.

They won't come out, and you're going out in their name?

What does this mean?

Feelings: You Lord Zhu came to Yongping Mansion to be the prefect is a pretense, is it true to open a mine? Haven't you always been an official in the Qingshui Yamen of the Hanlin Academy? A few hundred taels of silver, saying that you can take it out? It seems that this Hanlin Academy is a good place to get promoted and make a fortune.

Lou Suzhen thought about Hui Huang, and soon was able to keep up with Zhu Hao's train of thought, and explained to Jiang Shantong: "What my lord means is this, if you want to participate in the impeachment of local mining matters, and you must take the competition with the people for profit as the starting point, you must have a reason, and the local mining, no matter what the result, will have a conflict of interest with the previous mining ground opened by His Majesty, so participate in the impeachment...... to be more sure."

Jiang Shan said: "Even if Lord Zhu is far-sighted, but in the opinion of the lower officials, it is still too much trouble to find a group of people to rush directly into the mine kiln and make a fuss, which is much more than the existing mine."

Lou Suzhen said with a smile: "If it can have an effect, then why didn't you even make a splash after the trouble before?"

"That's because...... They didn't make a big deal enough." Jiang Shan is the same way.

Lou Suzhen smiled and didn't say anything this time, and looked at Zhu Hao with a asking gaze instead.

Zhu Hao sighed: "Jiang Tongzhi, this official thinks that you are too pedantic to take on a big responsibility!"

Jiang Shantong's eyes widened when he heard this.

Am I pedantic?

Who is pedantic who knows!

My idea is simple and direct, not at all muddy, but the person who goes around in circles to do pedantic things is you, the prefect, right?

Zhu Hao said: "If you want to make a big scene, there will be casualties, but the Jinyi guards in the mine may not be a killer, which means ...... We want to kill ourselves, discount our own legs, or even wipe our necks directly, and rely on the people in the mines? But in this way, things will not end well, and the imperial court will probably use force directly!"

"Use...... Strong?"

Jiang Shantong listened to this fresh term and was a little confused.

"Yes, it is with Qiang, now that Your Majesty is willing to reason with you, naturally everything is safe. But if Your Majesty is arrogant, the people we sent will die in vain, and even you and I will have to carry the black cauldron, this official thinks about it, you Jiang Tongzhi shouldn't be like going to the edict to be tortured and tortured, and suffer a lot of flesh and skin, right? Who can guarantee that you will not confess to the mastermind behind the scenes?"
