As soon as Master Li, the secretary of the Ministry of War, wanted to ask about the situation in detail, he saw Lord Huang of the Ministry of Officials on the side shaking his head slightly, and he was silent.

Lord Huang knew the reason, the document that made Yuan Rui serve as a soldier at that time was a subordinate of the official, and he just understood the deep meaning of the saint.

If an ordinary official directly intervenes in the production of armaments, without going through the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry, it is a capital crime, and let alone anything to do it privately and send it directly to the border army.

But Yuan Rui, a soldier, is different, he was originally an errand in the General's Mansion, and military funds and soldiers can be directly managed, and of course improving armaments and materials is also his business.

The key point is that people don't use a tael of silver in the court, and they still take things properly, at this time, everything is in vain.

"Let them do this first, the Ministry of War and Industry can send someone to learn it, so don't interfere."

On February 21, at the Songjiang Wharf, Yuan Rui breathed a sigh of relief as he watched dozens of large ships pulling chariots away with his own eyes.

This is the first batch of chariots sent to the border army for training, during this time, he was almost in the workshop, these thirty chariots but he looked at it little by little, for fear that something would go wrong.

The early stage is very critical, and if it goes smoothly in the back, he will be relieved, so he must not be sloppy.

The second son, who was standing on the side, asked with a smile, "You are a person who sticks people and money, I'm afraid this business won't last long!" ”

"Why do the words change their taste when they reach your mouth, your liver fire is a little strong, why don't you find another one here!"

Now that he is ripe, Yuan Rui is really unambiguous when he jokes.

"It doesn't seem right, didn't I hear that a young lady had a letter from the capital in the past two days."

Qi Feng also smiled secretly on the side, no wonder, it would be too boring for men not to talk about it together.

A few people talked and laughed and walked back, chatting about some miscellaneous things on the Songjiang side as they walked.

When I arrived at a street intersection, a little screaming flower suddenly rushed out from the corner of the street, that is, the second son was good at riding, and he adjusted the direction in time, so that he didn't step on the horse, and he was also hit by the horse's front legs and rolled to the side of the road.

Several people hurriedly dismounted, looking at the blood on Xiao Xiaohua's face, and they didn't know what the situation was, so they could only find a nearby pharmacy to see the injury.

It's okay, Xiao Yuhua just hit a scratch of the skin, there is no big problem, Lang Zhong dealt with it, the servant asked him where he lived, ready to send him back.

Originally, even Qi Feng asked Yuan Rui and the second son to go back first, just a little beggar, just deal with it yourself, but Yuan Rui was not at ease, and there was nothing wrong, so he thought about it after reading the injury together.

Yuan Rui took out a silver ingot from his body, handed it to Xiao Zhaohua, and asked him if he had a place to live and who else was at home.

Looking at a few people, Xiao Yuhua suddenly knelt down directly and kowtowed again and again, "A few young masters, please, help me find my family, please, please!" ”

Yuan Rui hurriedly pulled him up, so that he didn't have to worry, and said slowly, as long as he could help, he would definitely help.

Yuan Rui not only secretly brought Xiao Zhaohua to the house, but also asked Qi Feng to take advantage of the dark night to bring Xiao Xiaohua's sister back, and by the way, he made a false appearance, as if the family had been turned over and people had been robbed.

This was Yuan Rui's decision after listening to the situation told by Xiao Xiaoqiang, and he immediately realized that there was a big mystery in the middle, and this mystery was related to the small problems he discovered.

Zheng Jie came to Songjiang because of the Zhang family's recommendation, and I heard that he also changed a few positions to go out.

There is no way, the attention of this position is too high, and eighty percent of the share of the entire sea trade is turned around from here, and the three successive sea guard envoys have been reported and arrested by Silver Eagle.

Another point that this position is difficult to do is that the relationship between all aspects is too complicated, and I don't know which merchant has a prince or prince standing behind him, all of whom are through the sky, and if they don't do well, they will be stumbled.

So this time, Zheng Jie was reluctant to intervene too much when Yuan Rui came to Songjiang to supervise, Yuan Rui relied on King Huai behind him, and Daxia was the only one, and others didn't dare to provoke it, and they couldn't afford to provoke it.

He can't do it, he still has to be an official in Songjiang, and he has to complete the share handed over by the court, and he has to take into account the income of the Zhang family.

He thought it through, as long as Yuan Rui didn't go too far, catch a few people, steal some money and so on, just let him go, anyway, it won't be long, whoever meets him will admit bad luck.

Yuan Rui said a few things clearly, the evidence was conclusive, and there were even human witnesses, Zheng Jie was speechless, and secretly scolded these fools in his heart, covering up and even exposing his buttocks, and he didn't want to run away and die.

Zheng Jie can't ignore it yet, these are the affairs of the Coast Guard. Yuan Rui is a military envoy of the General's Mansion, simply put, he only has the right to supervise, and if he finds out any problems according to the rules, he will either hand them over to Songjiang County or give them to the Coast Guard Envoy.

"Lord Yuan, let's do it, since Lord Qingying, the deputy commander of Yangzhou Silver Eagle, is also here, do you see if you can let Silver Eagle come forward, it should be caught, and it should be punished, there are a few of them who have some dealings with the Coast Guard, and if those muddy people below do something tricks, it won't look good, and I ask Lord Yuan to forgive me here."

Yuan Rui has no opinion on this arrangement, in his heart, Yinying can still do things, and it is better to do this.

Yuan Rui didn't take it particularly to heart, which dynasty and everywhere had such a thing, it was inevitable.

Driven by sufficient profits, embezzlement and reselling are light, and there are too many things to kill people and destroy evidence after exposure.

Yuan Rui didn't make a statement at the beginning because of this, it was originally a trivial matter, judging from the loopholes found, almost dozens of leather armor were missing, and there were hundreds of arrows.

It is possible for the workshop owner to resell privately, and it is also possible for the workshop worker to steal, and it is still necessary to check and catch a few typical examples, but it is impossible to put an end to this matter.

Sure enough, within a few days, the report was sent, and several workshop owners were greedy for profits, and privately sold military assets, taking the road of middlemen, and successively sold thousands of leather armor and tens of thousands of arrowheads, which was already a big case.

In fact, needless to say, Yuan Rui can also guess where it can be sold, the bandits are the closest, the Qingzhou mountain bandits are not far away, and they are transported to Liaojing, and these places are really needed.

There are commercial relations on both sides, and it is generally to engage in some people's daily necessities, but as long as you have the heart and see the huge benefits, it is normal to bring some private goods.

He understands that some dens Silver Eagle may have known for a long time, but both sides know that if you don't move mine, I won't move yours, and if you go out of line, you will fight a dozen, and everyone is good and I know the routine.

This time, there is no way, it is not secret, and it was discovered by Yuan Rui, who came to supervise, you can only be considered unlucky, no matter what, you have to find someone to come out and make an errand.

Therefore, seven shops in Songjiang were sealed, more than 10 people were arrested, and they were directly exiled, and their family property was confiscated.

On this day, Yuan Rui was resting at home, although he was not busy during this time, he was responsible for his duties, and he still had to go around when he had nothing to do, otherwise something would really happen in the future, and impeaching himself would be a trivial matter, don't let yourself become a backbiter.

The doorman came to report, Chen Shi and Zhou Gongzi came. As soon as Yuan Rui arrived outside the hall door, he saw that the two of them had already entered the courtyard, and when they were about to come to him, he bowed his hand and let the two of them enter the house and sit down.

"The two sons are here, but there is something to look for me?"

"Lord Yuan, the last time I chatted, I heard that you were more interested in some furniture and mentioned some Western furniture, this time Zhou Gongzi happened to bring in some more unique furniture from Nanyang, so I thought you would go and have a look."

Yuan Rui seemed to remember this, he knew that the current Daxia craftsmanship must not be said, the furniture made of wood is solid and durable, and even the carving is first-class, but it is a bit lacking in the pattern, and it often feels not so lively. Hearing that there was really Western furniture coming, Yuan Rui became interested, said hello, and followed the two to Zhou's house.

The Zhou family brought more than a dozen very delicate objects from Nanyang this time, none of which were large ones, and a few chairs of various shapes.

Unlike Daxia, some of the armrests are very high, and some of the backs are very round, so there are indeed differences.

However, one of the things that interested Yuan Rui was the relatively small recliner sofa, which was much stronger than the hard study couch in Daxia, and the other was a bright dressing mirror, Yuan Rui was surprised a lot, this was the most valuable glass at that time, which was very rare.

Zhou Gongzi is considered a good person, and he saw that Yuan Rui liked these two things more, so he directly said that these two things were brought by the way, and they were not worth much silver, and they were sent directly to the mansion another day.

Yuan Rui directly resigned, the current price should not be low, there is no need, it really can't work, see if you can do a little no.

But where would Zhou Gongzi stop like this, he gave Chen Shi a look again, and the two of them didn't care whether Yuan Ruitong agreed or not, so it was decided.

Yuan Rui is also helpless, what about human favors! However, he remembered something and quickly asked.

"Brother Zhou, I really have something to ask Brother Zhou for help."

"Lord Yuan, please say, it's all your own people, don't be polite."

"Over there in Nanyang, I heard that there are some crops with better seasonings, can you trouble Brother Zhou to let the crew bring some back next time, no matter what."

"Lord Yuan knows what they are and what their names are, so I can let people buy them."

"Actually, I don't know, it's good, as long as you can buy it, buy it back, especially the seeds, after all, it's still convenient to plant it yourself, this matter really needs Brother Zhou to bother, there will be heavy thanks."

Then the group started chatting about the furniture again.

At this time, Chen Shi suddenly said, "My lord, I heard that this time several merchants resold military funds, and the killing was discovered by the adults, and the adults also investigated and dealt with it together with the Coast Guard Yamen?" ”

"It's not quite, it's just that when I was inspecting, I found that some of the materials were not right, and a lot of the military funds produced were gone, so I wondered if someone was embezzling and reselling them inside, so I intervened."

"Do you know if you have a sentence that you should say?"

"It's okay, Brother Chen, just say it."

"My lord, there are two of them that I am familiar with, and Brother Zhou is also very familiar with them, if you want to say smuggling, you can barely resell materials, but if you want to say kill people, it is impossible."

"They just do a little business and make ends meet, even if they don't know how powerful they are, they don't dare to do this when they see the supplies, and they still kill people, which is even more impossible."

"We told the adults that it was nothing else, but that we were worried that the adults would be deceived and carry other people's black pots."
