CHAPTER XXVI
After staying in Ningguta for two days, Mo Jing and his party set off again!
On the one hand, this is because Fei Duoluo is in a hurry, and on the other hand, because Luo Xin is not there and her sister is not there, Mo Jing will not bother Ma De, and two days is enough time for her to help Ma De formulate a general development plan!
"Sister Jing, you have to be careful when you arrive in Beijing! It's best to go to Fengtian and discuss with Fei Lao what to do, after all, you are a woman, and the Qing court is very strict with women, and in terms of intrigue, Fei Lao is our authority! When seeing him off in the suburbs, Ma De said to Mo Jing!
"I know, when the Russian envoy enters Beijing, I'm afraid he can only go to Mukden first! After getting there, I'm afraid I won't be allowed to enter the customs until after Kangxi's holy decree! …… This time is enough time for me to discuss something with Fei Lao! …… Big deal, I'm not going! This business does not necessarily have to be done! …… I always thought there might be something wrong with that! Mo Jing replied.
"If only you could think so!" Ma De nodded reassuringly, Mo Jing did not lose his mind because of the huge benefits!
"Alright, if it's okay, I'll go! …… Don't forget, if Xinxin can rush back, let her go to Fengtian to meet me, I haven't seen her for more than a year, I miss her! Mo Jing said again.
"Understood! The little brother promises to deliver the letter! Ma De said.
"That's good! …… I'm leaving! After Mo Jing finished speaking, he began to turn the horse's head.
"Goodbye!" Ma De waved his hand and said.
……
Soon, Mo Jing and his party went far away!
Ma De got on his horse and led the people back towards Ningguta! While he was a little worried, he looked at his surroundings, and a trace of pride passed through his heart from time to time! Since Ningguta is regarded as a place of distribution, the bitter cold is only one of the harsh conditions here, and the other is desolation! However, how can it not be exciting to think that this desolate land has become such a face in his own hands?
"My lord, this is a credit to you and Hingegg! It's not that Chen is boasting, if it develops at this rate, at most two years, this Ningguta can be called 'Northeast Xiaojiangnan'! ”
Chen Menglei was also one of the people who saw him off, and when he saw Ma De's look around him, he opened his mouth to praise.
"Haha, Mr. Chen's words have been awarded, if it weren't for the hard work of everyone and the soldiers, this Ningguta would not have changed, and the biggest credit is still the big guy!" Ma De smiled, his face slightly red! Ningguta has indeed changed, but it won't take a day to walk through these changed places, that is to say, everything is still early, it is just a beginning, as for the "Northeast Xiaojiangnan" mentioned by Chen Menglei, he has not seen the shadow yet, Ma De thinks that he has thick skin, and he can't afford this kind of praise.
"If there is no adult and Hingge to take the lead, even if everyone is willing to work hard, I am afraid that they don't know how to do it, so this first gong is still two!" Chen Menglei then laughed, as if he was very happy to pat Ma De's authentic sycophant!
"Haha, Mr. Chen is polite!" Ma De smiled, stopped talking, patted the horse and continued to move forward!
Chen Menglei was still interested, although Ma De no longer spoke, but he still laughed all the way!
Why is he so happy?
Of course he should be happy!
It took him several years, word by word, and every sentence to write a fu praising Kangxi's merits has been handed over to Mo Jing, and Mo Jing also promised him that he would present this fu to Kangxi when he arrived in Beijing! He firmly believes that with this fu, he will be able to attract Kangxi's attention again, and at that time, he will have the opportunity to meet Kangxi and express his grievances! Although he may not be able to bring down Li Guangdi, the great enemy, he believes that with his knowledge, he will definitely make Kangxi pay attention to it, at least, it is very sure that he will be pardoned!
Although he will leave Ningguta after being pardoned, although it may be a bit uncomfortable for Ma De and Rohin to take care of him these days, he still wants to go! I want to go to Beijing! This is the dream he already had when he was studying, for decades, "governing the country, uniting the family, leveling the world", "reading the books of sages and sages, selling them to the emperor's family", this idea has long been deeply rooted in his bone marrow, and nothing can be erased!
"The reader at this time is really difficult to serve!"
Although Ma De ran in front of the horse, he also understood Chen Menglei's mood at this time! Although he knew for a long time that his small temple could not fit the big Buddha of Chen Menglei, he still had a little resentment towards this guy who carried the name of Confucianism!
He and Luo Xin respect him so much and are so good, but this guy still wants to go to Beijing to be a slave to the emperor! …… This is probably the common problem of most readers at this stage! Thousands of years of historical precipitation, most of the cultural people created are actually like this, it makes people feel uncomfortable for a while!
However, if Chen Menglei gives the choice to Ma De, Ma De will definitely let him go to Beijing!
The reason is simpler, of course!
"There are people up there who are good officials!" Thinking of what Mo Jing said to himself, Ma De couldn't help but nod his head again! That's right, Chen Menglei is a criminal, but he is still a Confucian! If he can return to Beijing, with his knowledge and fame, even if he can't become a powerful minister, he can become an idol of many scholars and an academic authority! In this way, he will definitely be able to make friends with many people, and if he praises himself in Beijing, then Ningguta, which was originally a desolate place outside the Guan, will definitely be noticed by the imperial court, and then Ta Made should not be the head of the cell here for a long time! …… Moreover, he will also have a certain reputation among those scholars! In this era, the energy of scholars cannot be underestimated!
"If Chen Menglei helps me publicize, the imperial court transfers me, where will I be transferred? …… The best is Hangzhou, Xinxin has always wanted to visit the West Lake, and if she goes there, she will go to the West Lake...... Wouldn't I have the opportunity to try to look for flowers and willows? People don't have to be foolish teenagers! Hey, hey, hey......"
The more Ma De thought about it, the more unbearable he became!
******
"Ahh
Sitting in the caravan, Luo Xin suddenly sneezed!
"It's summer in the south, why is it still so cold in the north?" Wrapping her cloak around her body again, she muttered.
"Master, we have entered the realm of Horqin, but we will have to walk for a few days before we can reach the big tent of the prince of Zhuo Suotu!" A knight in Mongolian attire rode his horse towards this direction.
"Hmmm! Rising Sun, you say, did Amur send the news of our arrival to Zhuo Suotu? Luo Xin wrinkled his nose and asked the knight. These Mongolian knights were all lost to them by the Khan kings, Old Man Fei, Mo Jing and Yu Zhong, as well as some of her and Ma De's side as personal guards! Because, from the bottom of their hearts, they all feel that these honest Mongols are credible and reliable!
The Rising Sun (Storm) who is now by her side is said to be a warrior who has won the first place in the saber competition three times at the Naadam Conference and won the honor of "King of the Saber of the Prairie", if it were not for the fact that he was born as a slave and accidentally slashed the grandson of a Khan King in a competition, he would not have lost to them as a bargaining chip! But that's fine, with such a guard known as the "Prairie Sword King", the sense of security is much thicker!
And Amr (Tai Pingyi) is an excellent horse breeder and veterinarian, he and the wrestling master Agudamu (Guangguang) are the two slaves sent by Zhuo Suotu, and they are very familiar with Korqin, so this time Luo Xin asked him to bring someone to deliver a letter to Zhuo Suotu!
"Amur is a Korqin person, and they are riding horses, they should have arrived, and now, I guess they should be on their way back, and I believe they will meet soon!" Rising Sun replied respectfully to Luo Xin's words, although he is the king of sabers on the grassland, but after all, he is a slave, and his respect and obedience to the nobles have been imprinted in his bones since he was a child, although he is also very proud!
"Hmmm! So let's move on! Hmph, I've traveled so far and I'm sorry if I don't knock Zhuo Suotu to the bottom! Luo Xin said with some resentment, who told Ma De that he couldn't leave the station? Alas, it's hard!
"Master, Lord Zhuo Suotu is the most noble prince in the Mongolian steppe, let's not go too far, right?" Rising Sun said carefully! Although they haven't been together for a long time, he always feels a little scared of Luo Xin! When he followed Ma De and Luo Xin to Ningguta to take office, he encountered soldiers and ruffians, but before they could make a move, the one who took the lead had been almost abolished by Luo Xin, and at that time, he knew that this beautiful hostess who was soft and weak on the surface turned out to be such a violent character in her heart, and since then, whenever he waited in front of Luo Xin, he behaved a lot more carefully! Even if he knew that Luo Xin would not be able to beat him, but ...... Rohin's musket was too accurate! And this time when he heard Luo Xin's words, he believed that if Luo Xin really made up her mind, then she would definitely have the courage to kill Zhuo Suotu a few times, even if Zhuo Suotu was noble, it would be useless! …… Therefore, out of a sense of responsibility for the master, he still reminded Luo Xin two sentences.
"I know what you said,......" Luo Xin said depressedly: "Actually, this time we came to open the way to pull the relationship, in the future, we have to deal with this prince a lot, and there are many places to ask him to help, how can I really offend him?" ”
"If only the master could think so!" Rising Sun Gan relieved his heart and said.
"By the way, Rising Sun, how many people will come to the Naadam conference in Horqin this time?" Luo Xin asked again.
"Not so clear! However, if it is normal for several Khan kings around Horqin to come, at that time, our things will definitely attract their attention and make them drool a lot! Rising Sun couldn't help but smile as he imagined the scene of those noble princes drooling.
"Then will we offend them by only giving it to Zhuo Suotu?" Luo Xin asked again.
"No, master!" Rising Sun replied, "We are guests when we get there, and those Khan kings are also guests, and the prince of Zhuo Suotu, as the master, will definitely give some to them!" ”
"Didn't that favor let Zhuo Suotu take possession? Why don't we just send it ourselves, what do you think? Luo Xin proposed.
"No, you can't!" Rising Sun hurriedly said: "Master, how can there be any reason for guests to give guests gifts?" Moreover, if we give gifts to the prince of Zhuo Suotu, and he will give them to the other princes, everyone will be very happy, but if we give gifts to other princes in the big tent of the prince of Zhuo Suotu, even if the prince of Zhuo Suotu receives the gift, he will be unhappy! ”
"Hmmm! It's the same thing, no one wants someone to buy people's hearts in front of them! Especially a prince! Okay, we'll just give it to Zhuo Sotu...... However, I can't see it, Rising Sun, you still have a lot of talent as a strategist! Luo Xin smiled.
"The master has won the prize, this question, the answer to this question will be the same for any Mongolian!" Rising Sun said modestly.
"Oh?" Luo Xin is noncommittal!
