"Mr. Liu, do you have any thoughts on this issue?" Although Zhu Gui already had a solution in mind, he still wanted to hear Liu Jing's thoughts.

"Lord Qiyu, I feel that in order to solve this problem, it is necessary to set up a special review body to coordinate the production relations between various places." Liu Jing said.

Zhu Gui nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Liu's idea coincides with this king, so let's leave this review body to Mr. Liu to set up." ”

Everyone in the hall looked at Liu Jing with envy, obviously feeling that the other party had become a celebrity in front of Zhu Gui, but the other party did get the current status completely by virtue of his ability, so they had nothing to say.

Not to mention that they have significantly improved their social status and other aspects compared to businessmen in other places, and they are very satisfied with this.

Zhu Gui spent almost a day inspecting the Datong Chamber of Commerce and solving many thorny problems at the same time.

He didn't return to the palace until the evening, but someone had been waiting here for a long time.

"Lord Wang, my subordinates have something important to report." A middle-aged man dressed in black came out of the shadows, this person had a fierce face, but at this time he went to salute Zhu Gui respectfully.

"Hu Shidao, are you here to report the situation in the direction of Taiyuan?" Zhu Gui turned around and sat on the chair, picked up the teacup, and asked lightly.

Hu Shidao had been in charge of intelligence work in the direction of Taiyuan before, and it turned out that Zhu Xuan, the king of Jin who was guarding Taiyuan, had been killed in the Imperial Garden Incident.

But Zhu Yuanzhang has not continued to assign vassal kings to Taiyuan, and the reason is nothing more than that the current princes are too young.

And Zhu Yuanzhang seems to have plans to eliminate the high-ranking and powerful vassal king for Zhu Yunwen.

Especially now that the Northern Yuan at the border is no longer a threat, and Zhu Yuanzhang's health is getting worse and worse.

"Yes, now Taiyuan is already panicked, and many people hope that the prince can take over the fiefdom of the king of Jin, I don't know what the prince wants?" Hu Shidao looked at Zhu Gui expectantly.

If Zhu Gui can take Taiyuan into his pocket, then he will become the most powerful vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, and the status of Hu Shidao's subordinate will naturally rise.

However, Zhu Gui did not want to include Taiyuan in his sphere of influence, his eyes were beyond the grassland, and the sea of stars beyond.

"What is the use of whether this king is intentional or not, this is a matter for the emperor and the court to decide." Zhu Gui did not express his thoughts like Hu Shidao, but said something decent.

Hu Shidao showed an intriguing look on his face, but he disappeared immediately.

"The subordinates understand, so the next direction of the subordinates' work?" Shidao asked tentatively.

"How many men do you have now?" Zhu Gui asked rhetorically.

"There are almost 500 regular intelligence officers, and 1,000 are being trained, not counting the eyeliner that has been planted everywhere." Hu Shidao said proudly.

Zhu Gui nodded, his face was light and light, and he couldn't see what he was thinking at this time.

"In this way, this king allows you to recruit another 3,000 people, and you spread half of your hands into the grassland, now the Northern Yuan is under the control of this king, but it is not very stable at present, can you understand what this king means?"

Zhu Gui stared at Hu Shidao and asked.

Hu Shidao pondered for a moment, raised his head and asked, "The prince wants his subordinates to keep an eye on those Mongols, and once someone makes any irregular movements, they will ......."

Hu Shidao said and made a gesture of wiping his neck, and a look of excitement appeared in his eyes.

Zhu Gui nodded and said: "That's pretty much what it means, but things should be done in a more subtle way, don't cause a backlash from the Mongols, it's best to buy some Mongols to act for us." ”

"My subordinates understand." Hu Shidao said excitedly, and then disappeared into the shadows again.

At this time, Xu Miaoqing's voice came from outside the door: "Lord, are you back?" Why don't you tell the concubine? ”

Xu Miaoqing ran to Zhu Gui's side and pulled her arm and said coquettishly.

"After a busy day, you just came back, and you are bored at home alone?" Zhu Gui asked with a smile.

"The prince also said. Originally, the concubine was going to accompany you, but who knew that the concubine had not finished grooming, and you left. Xu Miaoqing complained.

Zhu Gui didn't say anything this time, he couldn't tell Xu Miaoqing that she had been grooming for too long, right?

While chatting, the two went to the restaurant on the other side and began to prepare dinner.

After the meal, two thousand households from the guard came to the palace to report the situation to Zhu Gui.

The garrison of the guard and Yun Zhongjun had all returned to the camp, and the two of them had been appointed by Zhu Gui to be responsible for forming a bandit team.

"Give you three days to complete your training and dress, and as for the specific course of action, you go to the Datong Chamber of Commerce to find Liu Jing to claim it." Zhu Gui said.

"Yes."

"The scope of your activities is mainly based on the transportation routes of caravans, and you must eradicate all the evil and all the robbers and bandits along the road, do you understand what this king means?"

"Yes."

"This is the king's token, if you encounter officials from other states and counties to block it, you can take out this token and tell them that this is the king's order, if they have any opinions, they can directly come to the king or impeach the king to the court."

"Yes."

In this way, Zhu Gui also solved the problem of suppressing bandits.

Next, he was going to go to the steppe to see what was going on on the Mongol side.

The next morning, Zhu Gui rode a horse and led the team out of Datong Mansion and came towards Heimu City on the grassland.

They had not gone far before they encountered a large group of Mongol cavalry.

However, the people on Zhu Gui's side did not have any nervousness, and the pair of Mongols dismounted when they came to a place less than 100 meters away from Zhu Gui's group.

"See the prince, we are the patrol team of Blackwood City, and we learned that the prince is going to Blackwood City to inspect, so we have come to carry out the escort work." One of the leaders of the Mongolian cavalry said.

"Let's go." Zhu Gui nodded, and under the escort of the Mongolian cavalry, he headed all the way to Heimu City.

From a distance, I could see the walls of Blackwood City more than ten meters high standing on the grassland.

In just two months, Blackwood City has changed from a humble town to a fortress today.

This was also mainly due to the trade relations between Blackwood City and Datong Province.

And the city lord of Blackwood City, Heimu Han, had already led the team out of the city to greet him at this time.

"Lord Wang, please forgive me for missing the distance." At this time, Hei Muhan, who had already gained a lot of weight, said to Zhu Gui with a serious face.

"Kuroki Khan, don't come unharmed." Zhu Gui said with a smile.

"How dare you."

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while and entered the city together.
