After Lu Ning came out of the Yanwang Mansion, he didn't go to Zhu Yuanzhang, after all, no money is no money, and the emperor's holy decree can't be turned into silver.

He had no choice but to bring his attachés to Beiping, which was still the capital of the Yuan Dynasty at this time, but after the baptism of war, it was a depression.

As the envoy of Beiping, Lu Ning came here, so he naturally had the responsibility of protecting the territory and the people.

Before his arrival, there was no official envoy here.

After I came, I found that there was a depression everywhere, and even some houses had become ruins after the war, so I was naturally very helpless.

So, he called Li Jinglong and commanded in a low voice.

"Jiujiang, I didn't expect the people here to live so hard, let's find a way to help them."

Li Jinglong is no longer the gentleman he was at the beginning, and he is also worried about the people at the moment, so he also replied with a straight face.

"Master, the people here have been the founding of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years, and they are still worried about freezing and starvation, and they don't know what to do when it comes to winter, since you are here, you will definitely be able to help them improve the current situation."

Lu Ning also nodded, and he told Li Jinglong.

"Don't disturb the people, just find a small government member from the former Yuan to be our patrol envoy office, and the real governance of the place depends on the people's will, not on the shelf."

Li Jinglong and Xie Jin went to find a relatively spacious mansion together and used it as an official office.

This was originally the Yamen of the Yuan Dynasty, but because of disrepair, it has been dilapidated.

The guards who came with them renovated it again, and then they all moved in.

Just after Lu Ning officially moved in, Hu Chengcheng, the political envoy of Beiping, came to ask for a meeting.

As a local official, Hu Cheng naturally knew very well how much Lu Ning was valued by Zhu Yuanzhang.

He immediately thought that if he could get in touch with this master and say a few good words for himself in the court, he would let himself pull the dragon's tail to the sky.

Whether it is an official career or other aspects, it can go further, which is a shortcut to an official.

Hu Cheng arrived at this official office, entered the inner hall and sat down, and said to Lu Ning very politely.

"Grandpa came here and lived in such a rough place, it was really an omission of my Beiping officials, I have already found a compound, please choose the time to move in."

Lu Ning looked at the political envoy in front of him with some depression, and felt that this guy probably had no ability other than sycophancy, so he refused.

"I'm not here to enjoy life, it's just a temporary office, don't be so entangled, let me ask you, what is the most scarce thing here now?"

Hu Cheng wanted to ask, and then replied with a frown.

"Grandpa, the most scarce thing here is coal, and now there is a director of the Department of Domestic Products named Li Tie, all the government-run coal in Beiping is in his hands, but the price is too high, and the people can't afford it."

When Lu Ning heard this, he was a little angry in his heart, and he asked directly.

"You, the political envoy, are a big man from the third grade, why can't you even put a six-grade master on the table, can't you intervene and let him sell it to the people at a lower price, and wait until the people die of cold and starvation, do you have a light on your face!"

Hu Cheng was helpless, and said in his heart that you don't have a backache when you stand and talk, this six-grade master is Zhu Di's person, who dares to provoke this uncle.

Since this is the case, he directly gave Lu Ning a trick to kill.

"That being the case, then ask the grandfather to find this Chief Li, it must be much easier for you to come forward, who doesn't know that the grandfather is His Majesty's righteous nephew, and His Royal Highness King Yan is also called a brother and a brother, and a word must have the weight of nine tripods."

Lu Ning knew that this political envoy was making a bad move, and to put it bluntly, he was his own army, but he didn't have anything to worry about, so he replied directly.

"What you said makes sense, since that's the case, then I'll go to this Chief Li, when I was in Changning County, I wasn't afraid of any high-ranking officials and nobles, and now I have Shang Fang's sword and the king's order banner in hand, I really don't believe that anyone dares to say more or less."

At this time, Hu Cheng looked at Lu Ning with a smile, and said in his heart, you kid is going to be unlucky.

It turned out that since this Director Li was able to specialize in coal, he was naturally not just a close confidant of His Royal Highness King Yan. There are other relationships among others.

Li Tie's sister Li Jiaojiao is the concubine of King Yan's side room, and with this relationship, although she can't be regarded as Zhu Di's eldest brother on the surface, she can be regarded as a relative.

Because of this, this Li Tie can be regarded as a local overlord in Beiping.

But from the political envoy to the county order, no one dared to restrain him, and this kid can be said to be able to cover the sky with one hand.

Because of this, this informality also feels that although Lu Ning is also a duke, he has a poor identity compared to others.

Hu Cheng talked to Lu Ning like this, in fact, he was stimulating his anger, and then he wanted to see the excitement for himself, this kid is not insidious.

Lu Ning didn't think about it so much, he looked at this Lord Hu and told him.

"When you go back, you will immediately issue a notice in the name of the political envoy Yamen, telling all the people in Beiping City that there will never be any more freezing and hunger this winter, and everyone will be fed and clothed."

Hu Cheng was stunned suddenly, and said in his heart that you guys can't be playing for real, this is not a joke.

So, he tried to say to Lu Ning.

"Grandpa, the matter of issuing the notice can actually be done at any time, but I also want to remind you that it is not necessary to negotiate the matter of coal first, and then issue this notice."

Lu Ning didn't have that much patience anymore, he directly slammed the cup on the table before speaking.

"I am now the envoy of Beiping, and it will be fine to do what I ask, otherwise Shang Fang's sword will not be ambiguous."
