Zhu Hao acted in front of Yang Shen, looking "unfamiliar" with Tang Yin.

Yang Shen was naturally satisfied with Zhu Hao's move.

The two continued to eat.

Zhu Hao said: "Use cultivation, to be foolish, or if there is something inappropriate to say, I really can't hold back, I have to talk to you."

Yang Shen looked at Zhu Hao and couldn't help frowning, you kid didn't drink today, why are you like a drunken drunken fool? Is this to be a chatter in front of me?

"You don't have to say it, I'll talk about it."

Zhu Hao interrupted what Yang Shen was about to say, sighed and said, "To be honest, after deducting that batch of pig iron, I regretted it, I was wondering, could this be a trap laid by Jinyi Wei in advance?"

Yang Shen frowned and asked, "How could you think that?"

Zhu Hao shook his head and sighed: "I thought about it, those pig irons, when they are on the market, are worth at least tens of thousands of taels of silver, and such valuable things are actually piled up in the mine waiting for my people to seize them?"

Yang Shen couldn't help but wonder after hearing this.

Zhu Hao picked up the chopsticks, but put them down gently, turned his head sideways, and said with a serious face: "Now even Ling Zun is involved, but Mr. Tang is at the right time...... Could it be that they have calculated that we will be eaten?"

Yang Shen smiled and said with relief: "You think too much, whether it is a trap set by Jinyiwei or not, how can this batch of pig iron not fall back into their hands, Da Ming is now very short of armaments everywhere, with this batch of pig iron to build weapons, it will definitely be like a tiger...... My father has a plan, as long as we don't let the Jinyi Guard take it back."

Yang Shen is very confident in this matter.

It doesn't matter if he's a conspiracy or not.

When the pig iron falls into our hands, it is a great achievement, what conspiracy does my father need to consider as a scholar of the first auxiliary university? Father dared to go directly to Huai Roubo, and then put pressure on Yongpingwei, that is, he had made a decision to take this batch of pig iron and let the emperor know the power of the civil official group.

Zhu Hao had a little comfort on his face: "That means that even if the matter goes back and makes a big fuss, Ling Zun can suppress this matter, right?"

"Hmm." Yang Shen nodded.

Zhu Hao breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said, "Then I'll rest assured, in the past few days, I've always been restless, and after thinking about it, I always feel that something is wrong, listening to what you say, I can finally sleep peacefully."

Yang Shen smiled, "You can put your heart back in your stomach...... Although you are now acting under the orders of the household, you have paid a great deal in this matter, and my father will not forget your merits, and your career will be fully protected in the future."

Zhu Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't value my career, as long as I don't take too much responsibility, you know, I just want to live a stable life, even if I am an official, I want to be the peace officer who has no danger and no danger, eats and waits for death." You can say I don't have ambition, but it's so hard to come from such a background."

Yang Shen nodded in understanding, and then asked, "How is your family doing?"

"Are you asking my uncle? He's in Nanjing, I don't know what happened to him, I'm the prefect here, he's a brocade guard in Nanjing, and I haven't been in touch recently." Zhu Hao said.

Yang Shen nodded.

He originally wanted to probe the bottom of Jinyiwei by inquiring about Zhu Wanhong's situation, but now he found out that Zhu Hao's official didn't seem to have much to do with Jinyiwei's Zhu family, and it was in vain to ask.

……

……

Yongpingwei commanded Li Bo, in the end, he still had to sell Huai Roubo's face.

What's more, standing behind Huairou Bo Shi Zan is the head assistant of the current dynasty, this is definitely not a big man who can afford to offend a local guard commander, even if people don't let him mobilize people and horses through the military department and the governor's mansion to help, Li Bo can only send people, transfer five hundred people, and take a large number of Lifu and mules and horses to Harrier Mountain to transfer pig iron.

For the sake of prudence, Yang Shen did not go in person, but Yang Ping, who came to deliver a message to Yang Shen, took a few people to supervise.

Zhu Hao sent Jiang Shantong, the governor of Futong.

Jiang Shantong was very confused, Yang Shen asked him for manpower, he raised some, and now the prefect suddenly assigned him to take a large number of people to drive wheelbarrows and carriages to the mine, he didn't know this

It's what to do.

As an adjutant in a government, he rarely has the task of doing odd jobs, but now that the top boss Zhu Hao and his son sent by the backer behind him have both orders, he has to take someone to Harrier Mountain.

Two days later.

When the news came, Yongpingwei's people successfully found this batch of pig iron, and escorted by the guards and horses, and a large number of Lifu pushed wheelbarrows, drove pack horses and carriages, loaded with pig iron, and transported them to the nearby guard station overnight.

Unexpectedly, this morning, when the Fengtian Hall and the court meeting were held, Sun Jiao did not greet anyone in advance, nor did he play in advance, and directly mentioned in the court that there was a large amount of pig iron stored in the iron ore field of Yongping Mansion.

「…… Your Majesty, the old minister found out that there is a large amount of pig iron that has not been deeply smelted in the iron ore field of Yongping Mansion, and there is a shortage of weapons in the army.

Sun Jiao didn't mention where his news came from, nor did he mention whether this matter was related to Zhu Hao, but only said that there was such a thing, which sounded reasonable.

But at the critical moment, Sun Jiao threw out such a topic, and Yang Tinghe on the side felt as if he was being targeted.

Zhu Si frowned and said, "The iron mine is naturally pig iron, otherwise it will still produce copper? The pig iron produced by the mines opened by the people sent by me will naturally be distributed by me and used in the northwest frontier...... Do you want the palace to drink the northwest wind?"

The Emperor's tone was very impulsive.

Sun Jiao defended: "But Your Majesty ......."

"Please, Sun Qing's family."

Zhu Si didn't seem to be impatient, "Since the beginning of last year, the household department has allocated a total of how many coins to me, you as the head of the household department should know very well, I will ask you now, don't the palace need expenses?"

"The official land and the imperial store have now been taken care of by the household department, and it has been two months, right? I don't think I even see a penny! Now that I have handed over the Yongping Mansion Iron Mine to the Ministry of Households, do you not plan to give me an account in the future, and even the things produced by the mine before will be confiscated by me?"

After Zhu Si's words were finished, he was now silent.

An emperor can be considered strange to be so faceless as Zhu Si.

When the emperor is not able to run his own industry, the courtiers proposed that they have to be supervised by the household department, and after the household department took over the imperial village and the imperial store, on the grounds of verifying the accounts of the past years, it has not allocated silver taels to the inner treasury until now, and it has been dragged like that, and the emperor's patience has been dragged out by reasonable means.

Now the emperor has not even kept the iron mine, and the household department still has to compete with the emperor for what the iron mine has produced in the past.

No matter how you listen to it, you feel that the household department is bullying the little emperor.

When Zhu Si said this, he seemed to be angry, but after casually speaking, he calmed down a little, and his tone was relatively calmer, and said, "Sun Butang doesn't have to come to ask me for it, that batch of pig iron was seized by your son-in-law Zhu Jingdao, and now the people of Jinyiwei are still looking for it everywhere. Sun Qing's family, this matter can't be reported to you by the prefect of Yongping Mansion, right?"

The ministers present were confused, this matter is actually related to the prefect of Yongping Mansion?

Yang Tinghe, who was on the side, couldn't help but glance at Sun Jiao.

Regarding the matter of that batch of pig iron, Yang Shen reported that Zhu Hao led someone to check and detain it, and the emperor should know about it, but now Jinyiwei can't find where the batch of pig iron is hidden, so why didn't the emperor directly make a decree and let Zhu Hao hand over this batch of pig iron? Do you have to go to such great lengths to let Jinyiwei look everywhere?

Yang Tinghe suddenly felt that he had made a mistake.

Before, his thoughts were the same as Yang Shen's, and he felt that if Jinyiwei lost a large amount of pig iron, he shouldn't report it to the emperor, because it involved a major deficit, who wanted to take responsibility?

But now it seems that the emperor actually knows about it? Then why didn't the previous emperor directly issue an order to ask Zhu Hao for it, could it be that there is something wrong with it?

It's getting more and more like a trap.

However, this kind of superficial trick is nothing to Yang Tinghe, and he sneered.

Sun Jiaodao: "Your Majesty, this matter was not reported by the prefect of Yongping Mansion, but ...... The head of the household department who was previously dispatched arrived at the mine, checked the accounts in detail and reported them. The accounts audited are all mentioned by Jinyi Wei

At present, the local prefect has not yet contacted the people sent by the household department."

Zhu Si said coldly, "Don't keep thinking about profiting from me! I don't know where this batch of pig iron is now, so I will issue an order now and let the prefect of Yongping Mansion hand it over! This is the idea that I have found someone to open a mine, and no one can make this batch of pig iron!"

……

……

The discussion on this matter came to an end in the emperor's stern words.

This disrupted Yang Tinghe's deployment.

After the court meeting, Jiang Mian and Yang Tinghe returned to the cabinet room together, Jiang Mian asked with curiosity, "Did you know about this early morning, Jiefu?"

Jiang Mian is a human spirit.

Sun handed it over and reported it, but Yang Tinghe kept silent, and he could see that Yang Tinghe knew about it and didn't report it, maybe he was obstructing behind it.

Yang Tinghe said, "If nothing else, this batch of pig iron has been transported away by Yongpingwei's people."

When Jiang Mian heard this, he was immediately a little worried: "Doesn't that mean that even if Your Majesty gives an order to the prefect of Yongping Mansion, you won't be able to hand over this batch of pig iron?"

Yang Tinghe glanced sideways at Jiang Mian: "Do you think this batch of pig iron should be returned?"

"Not really."

Jiang Mian said, "But this doesn't look like your style of doing things, I think it should be you who mentioned this matter to Your Majesty in the court today."

Yang Tinghe was a little annoyed in his heart: "I plan to wait for the dust to settle down before reporting to Your Majesty, who knew that Sun Zhitong was the first to do so...... Or maybe he's stuck at a critical juncture, and he has to preemptively play at this time."

"Huh."

Jiang Mian smiled bitterly.

It's right to think about it.

If Yang Tinghe wants to report, he must wait for the matter to be implemented, otherwise it will be tantamount to telling the emperor in advance the whereabouts of this batch of pig iron.

But it was just a time difference, Sun Jiao played in advance, putting Yang Tinghe in the position of a "thief".

You take the things, you report them first, and you are justified, but others report the loss first, and it is in vain for you to say anything.

Yang Tinghe said: "But it's no big deal, I will let Yongpingwei take the initiative to play this matter, inform the local prefect of the transfer of pig iron, and then find some ministers to play, and persuade Your Majesty to use this batch of pig iron in the northwest frontier."
