Emperor Zhizheng was silent for a long time, and finally spoke: "You came to see me, why did you come to see me?" ”

Xu He told him that he wanted to recruit two guards in the Yizhou Mountain Factory.

I heard that it was the Yizhou Mountain Factory, and Emperor Zhizheng was very surprised.

"The coal miners in Shunyi, Xishan and other places are not enough for you to recruit? How do you want to go to Yizhou? ”

"Your Majesty, it was originally one guard, but now it is two guards, and because there are firearms in the drill, there are many inconveniences in the Beijing Division, so the minister is ready to go to Zunhua to recruit troops!"

"Zunhua!" When Emperor Zhizheng heard this name, he quickly nodded, "As soon as you need it, you go directly to the Ministry of Works, and I will tell Wu Xingbang!" ”

Xu He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister will retire and leave in the next few days." ”

Emperor Zhizheng said: "I have agreed to what you need; I can also help you suppress the impeachment in the court, but a year, a year later, I want Long Xiang and Bao Tao Erwei to be reborn, don't let me down! ”

"I will live up to Your Majesty's trust!" Xu He fell to his knees.

Emperor Zhizheng sighed and wanted to say something, but he finally turned into four words: "Honestly, go!" ”

After coming out of the Wanshou Palace, at some point, a strong wind suddenly blew.

It was obviously the hottest weather at the end of August, and Xu He actually felt a chill.

Chen Hong sent him out, looked at the gloomy weather and sighed: "Ghost God, this is still in Futian, it's so cold!" ”

The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, the Xiaoice period, over the years, the weather has become colder and colder, this is still in the sky, I actually wear four layers inside and out, and the wind still feels cold.

After coming out of the palace, Xu He rushed to the Ministry of Industry as soon as possible, and wanted to borrow the mountains and forests of Yizhou Mountain Factory in Zunhua, which naturally had to be agreed by the Ministry of Industry.

After entering the Ministry of Industry, Xu He thought that he would encounter some obstacles in the Ministry of Industry.

Who knew that after Di Chong saw him, he said that the elder of the pavilion had already greeted him and asked the Ministry of Industry to fully cooperate with Xu He in this matter.

After Xu He came out of the Ministry of Industry, he not only obtained the right to use the land of more than 50 acres of mountain farms in Zunhua, but was also promised that the firearms, clothing, and uniforms manufactured by the Ministry of Industry should be supplied, and two guards would be given priority.

As long as Xu He asks someone to hand over the note, the Ministry of Engineering will see the bell seal and release it, and he will not delay.

At that time, Xu He thought that Di Chong was in Xu with a blank check, but who knew that the other party directly wrote a note, approving the ambassador of Zunhua's Shanchang to release 20,000 large trees to build barracks for Xu He and them.

This really solved Xu He's urgent need.

Should I say it or not, Wu Xingbang has really changed Xu He's perception of him a lot in this matter.

Uncle is right, if Qin Yan is the kind of person who will do anything for the sake of power, then in comparison, Wu Xingbang still has a bottom line, and he also wants to do something practical.

After dealing with everything in Beijing, Xu He set off with Zhou Bi and Li Yi.

The group, including more than a dozen soldiers brought by Zhou Bi and more than a dozen of Li Yi's personal soldiers, walked for a whole day before arriving at Zunhua, west of Jizhen.

Zunhua is under the rule of Shuntianfu, located at the southern foot of Yanshan, leaning on the Great Wall in the north, looking at Beijing in the west, Xu He asked someone before coming, this place is known as three mountains and two rivers, three mountains refer to three mountain ranges, the north side is along the Great Wall of one vein, the middle of Longshan, Bijia Mountain, Sheephorn Mountain, Baicaoding one vein, south of Wolong Mountain one vein, two rivers refer to the Shahe River and Li River respectively.

Plains, hills, and mountains each account for one-third of the territory.

As soon as he entered Zunhua, Xu He understood why the Yizhou Mountain Factory had set up a logging site here.

Good fellow, he has never seen so many trees in his life, and the mountains are all over the field, stretching and stretching without a trace.

The lush environment also made everyone from the capital feel refreshed.

Li Yi, who had just dealt with Xu He for a short time, also wanted to show himself in front of him.

After everyone led their horses to a mountain pass, when they were resting on the horses, Li Yi pointed to the north and said: "Lord Tongzhi, this direction to the north is the Great Wall!" Our Great Wall in the north is just sandwiched between Ma Lanyu and Xifengkou, which is relatively safe. ”

"If the thieves cross the border, they have been detouring the Modaoyu in the west or the bear's den in the east all these years, but we are the safest here. The imperial court also set up the mountain factory here to cut salaries, just to ensure safety! ”

Xu He was a human being in two lifetimes, both of whom lived in the south of the Yangtze River, where singing and dancing were leveling, and it was the first time in his life that he was so close to the Great Wall.

Especially the place of Xifengkou, for him from another time and space, he has a different kind of memory.

He leaned on the saddle and looked at the vast distance of the sea of clouds, and couldn't help but chant in his mouth:

The wind in the south mountain returns to the trees, and the Great Wall is like looking in the fog.

With the sun goose breaking the sky is full of suspicion, the back of the sun peak is high and the summer is bitter cold.

The sea does not sink the Qin Nu Stone, and the floating clouds want to move the crown of Chu Chen.

The song "Yizhou" first shed tears, but it was difficult to travel in person.

Among the group, Zhou Bi and Li Yi have both read, and the two of them at this time seem to be moved by the artistic conception in Xu He's poems, and follow Xu He to look at the mountains and the Great Wall, which is not visible at all.

After everyone went down the mountain, Zunhua County was in sight.

The cities of this era were very small, especially standing on the mountain overlooking Zunhua, which was even smaller.

But soon after a few people walked into the city, Zunhua County Commander hurried over in a sedan chair.

Seeing Xu He, the county order arched his hand and said: "I don't know that Xu Shi has come to a small county, and he has lost his welcome!" ”

Xu He saw him bow his hand, and also called himself the official position of the Hanlin Academy, knowing that the other party was also on the right path of the imperial examination, so he dismounted and arched his hand: "I wanted to go to the mountain factory after hitting the tip in your county, but I didn't expect to disturb the order!" ”

When the officials came out, they all needed to provide customs guards when they passed through the prefectures and counties, and it was obviously the county guard at the city gate who informed the Zunhua County Order of the matter.

Zunhua County Commander didn't expect Xu He to be so young and so calm and polite, and said happily in his heart: "The official's surname is Zhu, his name is Yuan, and he has a book, and he is a thirty-four year jinshi!" ”

Xu He politely bowed his hand: "It turned out to be Senior Zhu!" ”

"How dare you!" Zhu Yuan was very happy when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xu, you are a well-known champion in the world, and you are a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, my little county commander, I really dare not call myself a senior in front of you!" ”

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Zhu Yuan said that he had prepared some wine and food in the yamen and invited Xu He to enjoy it.

It happened that Xu He also wanted to understand the place of Zunhua, so he followed Zhu Yuan into the county office.

After sitting down, Xu He learned that this Zhu Yuan was originally a native of Taicang Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, and his family was wealthy.

After two glasses of wine, Zhu Xianling opened the conversation after getting acquainted with Xu He: "Brother Xu, we are all fellow villagers of Nanzhili, and we should also be in the same breath in Beijing, to be honest, brother, I spent money to stay in Shuntian Mansion back then, just to be closer to Jingshi, and it is good to walk around during the New Year, and rise faster!" ”

"Hey, who would have thought that this unfortunate Zunhua County is really not a place for people to stay, I, the county commander who was born in Jinshi, lives like a grandson every day in this county!"

Xu He said: "This ...... I don't know what difficulties Brother Zhu has? ”
