Yongpyeong, inside the mine.

After Zhu Feng arrived at the mine, he acted as the captain of the leading troops, but he did not have any battles to fight, and became the foreman of the guards, and the one acre and three points of land he was responsible for was to protect Zhang Zhou's safety in the mine, and at the same time, he would deal with some local troubles.

Don't look at Zhang Zhouren, who is outside the Beijing Division, but the errands of the six departments of the capital have not left him, all kinds of official documents will still be sent to Zhang Zhou's account, and even local officials and gentry will come to visit in person, all of which need to be blocked by Zhu Feng.

Li Rong initially served as the link between the emperor and Zhang Zhou, helping Zhu Feng block some people's driving, but later, this errand could only be completed by Zhu Feng alone.

Even when Jin Yiwei commanded Mu Bin to visit Zhang Zhou after running an errand in Fucheng, Zhu Feng went to receive him.

"I wonder if An Bianhou has learned some news recently?" When Mu Bin and Zhu Feng went up the mountain together, they were listening to the tone from Zhu Feng's mouth.

Zhu Feng asked, "I don't know what kind of news it is?"

Mu Bin said: "The newly promoted governor of Liaodong has just arrived, and I heard that even the capital of Liaobei Nuer Gandu Division, the right capital of the Imperial History, also led troops north, and now Liaodong can also be lively, involving grain and grass scheduling and other matters, all of which are transferred from the Shanhaiguan in Yongping Mansion to the north."

"Oh." Zhu Feng didn't think this news was so unusual.

Mu Bin continued: "Liaodong was originally a border town set up to defend against the Tatars, but now it seems that the Tatars are far away from the land of Liaodong, and they have become Jurchens who oppose the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Feng asked, "Commander Mu, can I ask, does this have anything to do with our errand?"

This made Mu Bin a little speechless.

Zhu Feng in front of him looked like an indisputable optimist, and he originally wanted to ask Zhu Feng if Zhang Zhou's presence in Yongping Mansion was related to the ongoing war in Liaodong and Liaobei, and it was even possible that Zhang Zhou would personally lead the troops to ...... But it seems that Zhu Feng doesn't know anything.

Mu Bin said: "An Bianhou should know that this land of Liaodong has always been considered to be the treasure land of Feng Shui of the Ming Dynasty before, and it is also rumored that the person who cherishes the land of Liaodong the most is Cai Guogong. After all, Cai Guogong's first battle before personally leading his troops was to go to Liaodong."

Zhu Feng sighed and said, "Isn't that all a matter of time passing?"

Mu Bin looked at the road ahead and found that it was all mountains and dirt roads, which made people feel like they couldn't see the end at a glance.

"I think that if Cai Guogong wants to lead the troops, he should go to the northwest." Zhu Feng may also feel that his attitude is too negative, adding, "The strategic significance of Liaodong is very important, but I think it should not be necessary for Cai Guogong to go in person. I don't know much, so it's better for Commander Mu to ask Cai Guogong himself. Drive!"

Zhu Feng may have been a little uncomfortable with being interrogated by Mu Bin, so he stepped up his horse and drove to the mountainside, where Zhang Zhouxing was stationed.

In the camp, it was not until dark that Zhang Zhou appeared in front of Mu Bin.

Mu Bin learned early in the morning from the population in the camp that Zhang Zhouren had not been in Yongping Mansion for half a month, and had already determined the location of two large mines, and had already begun to organize people to do preliminary mining, because the craftsmen and lifu in Yongping Mansion were ready-made, and the progress of mining was very smooth.

Li Rong also came because of Mu Bin, so he specially admired his face and went to Zhang Zhou's Chinese military camp tent to wait.

Seeing Zhang Zhoulai, even Li Rong, who has always been in poor health recently, got up to greet him.

Zhang Zhou said, "Why are you embarrassed to bother a few people to stay on the mountain or come here to meet? If you have something, you can actually find someone to send a message."

Unlike Li Rong's illness, Zhang Zhou seemed full of vitality, as if this mine was the real treasure land of feng shui, and even Mu Bin couldn't help but want to ask, is there any alchemy fairy grass or immortal land on this mountain that can make you so enthusiastic.

"The humble position is for the affairs of Yongping Mansion, and I specially made a summary, and I asked Cai Guo to publicize it."

The standard that Mu Bin refers to is that his subordinates report to their superiors, although it is not necessary for Jinyiwei to report things to a prince or a scholar in the court, but because of the emperor's preference for Zhang Zhou, all this seems so reasonable.

Zhang Zhou looked at Li Rong on the side and said, "Father-in-law Li, help me for details?"

"It's fine."

Li Rong took the summary presented by Mu Bin in his hand, and looked at it first, but in fact, he had a rough idea of many things in his heart earlier.

"Mr. Zhang, that's right, Jinyiwei has eliminated some of your resistance to mining in the local area." Li Rong summed it up very simply, not to be verbose, "This Yongping Mansion is even the first step for you to open a mine, and you will open a mine in a nearby place in the future, this is also a sample."

Zhang Zhou said with a smile: "I don't have so many mines to mine, and the things that happened in Yongping Mansion have not been encountered in the side."

Li Rong said: "It can only be said that the gentry here are not very sensible, how can they be bent on opposing you?"

After speaking, Li Rong also handed over Mu Bin's summary report to Zhang Zhou.

Zhang Zhou didn't answer, but let Li Rong put it on the guest table in front of him.

Zhu Feng said from the side: "Cai Guogong, I have also sent people to the surrounding area to check recently, there are indeed people who want to start mining, but they are all unpopular characters, after sending troops to arrest a few people at random, no one dares to make a move. I've heard that a lot of people have been organized to trouble the mines, but there hasn't been any movement on that recently."

Li Rong smiled and said, "Little Marquis, you may not know that Jinyiwei has done a lot of things in Yongping Mansion recently."

Zhu Feng said: "Will it make people's hearts float? I have heard that if the imperial court is too deeply disciplined by the local authorities, it will be revolted afterwards, and the officials will not give up and not say anything, and if there is any chaos in the locality, they will be splashed with dirty water."

"This ......"

Li Rong originally wanted to help show Mu Bin's credit, but in fact, it was to show that he Li Rong had done things.

Being said by Zhu Feng made Li Rong feel that this kid was like a lump of wood, and he couldn't even speak.

Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It's already good to be able to solve the trouble in front of you, but what Your Majesty advocates is not to disturb the place, not to mention that in the future, this side will cooperate to build a shipyard in the north, and we will see each other in the future." Gonggong Li, Commander Mou, what do you think?"

"Yes, yes."

Li Rong responded, but he had the same idea as Mu Bin.

What kind of medicine is sold in this Cai Guogong gourd?

We are here to cooperate with you on the orders of the emperor, and we have solved your troubles by thunderous means, but you don't seem to appreciate it all the time, and there are always some strange arguments.

You leave a line in life, but we are incompatible with the local government.

It's up to us to sing blackface, and you're up to you to sing whiteface?

Mu Bin originally wanted Zhang Zhou to take on the local errands, but he never thought that Zhang Zhou was like an old oilman and didn't make any promises.

When Zhang Zhou used the excuse of going back to survey the ore, Mu Bin could only temporarily settle in the camp and wait for the next day to return to the capital to find the emperor to return to his life.

"Father-in-law Li, what did you say about this recent errand?"

Mu Bin is really a little confused, what he can do now is to go to Dongchang Factory to complain about his difficulties in doing things.

Li Rong dragged his sick body, waved his hand and said, "There are some things that shouldn't be bothered by our family."

The implication is that you do your business, whether you do it well or not is judged by the emperor, as for our family and that Cai Guogong, they can only make some phased suggestions on the errands you have done.

Mu Bin said: "I will leave for Beijing tomorrow, but I don't know how to return to Your Majesty."

"Well......

As soon as Li Rong heard this, Mu Bin had moved out of the imperial order, so he could only bother to deal with it.

But Li Rong is also a mess now.

But at this time, it was time for the camp to have dinner, Li Rong and Mu Bin had a respected status, and the food and treatment they received were different from that of ordinary soldiers, and they belonged to the kind of small stove that opened alone.

Mu Bin was about to withdraw and return to his tent, but Li Rong beckoned: "Since you have something to say, you don't have to leave first, and you have eaten with our family."

"How dare you be lowly?" Mu Bin

It's true that I don't dare to eat at the same table with Li Rong.

"Sit down."

Li Rong greeted.

There was a servant brought by Li Rong, and he also moved a chair for Mu Bin.

After the two of them sat down.

Li Rong said: "In the previous affairs of Fucheng, our family asked you to do it ruthlessly, and we didn't leave any way back. And you do everything according to this principle."

"Yes." Mu Bin felt that the matter was about to get to the point.

Jinyiwei is very awesome in front of ordinary people or ordinary gentry, but what Jinyiwei does today is all "involuntarily", Your Majesty, Gonggong Li, and that Cai Guogong can influence what we do.

Can't we do everything to the end, and when we turn back and take responsibility, we will also bear it, right?

Anyway, you bigwigs should come out and make a statement, right?

Li Rong said helplessly: "Our family thinks that maybe Cai Guogong doesn't want to make the relationship so stiff with the local government, and he won't see him when he looks up in the future."

"Huh?"

Mu Bin didn't quite understand it.

"Don't be surprised, you are the commander of the Jinyi Guard, you have done a lot of things, you have your knowledge, but there are many things, our family has never heard of before, right?" Li Rong sighed, "What Cai Guogong has done seems to have no reference standard since ancient times, if it is according to the standard of Confucian ministers in the court, then probably Cai Guogong is ...... Blind toss."

Mu Bin said: "But Cai Guogong is also for His Majesty and the court."

Li Rong smiled and turned his head to the side and said, "Whether it's good or not, it's all judged by one mouth, saying that you are good is good, saying that you are not good is not good, there is no reason to talk about it."

Mu Bin heard the sound outside the strings.

In fact, it is also implying that he Mu Bin and Jinyiwei behind him are also following this principle.

What you think is good and beneficial to the court and the emperor may not really be appreciated, and you may have to be punished directly.

Meals are ready.

Li Rong got up here, looking like he was going to leave without eating, and Mu Bin wanted to get up and keep pace with Li Rong, but Li Rong reached out and pressed him back into the chair.

"Mu Bin, you can be said to have won the trust of Your Majesty over the years, and you should cherish the opportunity." Li Rong said earnestly, "If you return to Beijing to restore your life, Your Majesty will not embarrass you." No matter what those ministers think, as long as Your Majesty thinks that what you are doing is right, even if you are against the whole world, then you are worth it! Those of us who work as errands in the palace are the same principle, even Cai Guogong."

Mu Bin seemed to be deeply inspired and said: "I understand that I don't need to care about the eyes of others, as long as I serve Your Majesty with my heart."

"Huh."

Li Rong smiled and said, "Who is not serving His Majesty and the imperial court? Put your heart back in your stomach, and know in your heart that you don't need to make your words clear, right?"

"Yes." Mu Bin was still sitting there, but he hurriedly hugged his fists to express his gratitude.

Li Rong yawned and said, "This old bone, I don't know how many times I can toss it in the future." If there is such a hard errand in the future, our family will also mention it to His Majesty and let others come...... Our family also wants to live a quiet day today!"

Mu Bin has not returned to Beijing, and his summary has been passed back to the palace and in front of Zhu Youji.

Xiao Jing went to present and summarize to the emperor.

Zhu Youzhu read the summary of Mu Bin's work, his face was not angry, and after reading it, he just simply put Mu Bin's secret music aside, as if this was an inconsequential matter.

"Your Majesty, there is a lot of trouble in Yongping Mansion, and there are several big officials and gentry who have been taken on charges of all crimes, and the local opinions are not small, but so far, no one in the court has defended them." Xiao Jing said.

Zhu Youzhu nodded: "Yes. It's all over, whoever comes out to speak, doesn't that mean that there is a ghost behind it?"

Xiao Jing was embarrassed.

The charges are so terrible that even the official is not good to meddle casually, after all, it is still a matter for the factory guard to supervise, and the official is not clear about the chain of evidence behind it, and he is afraid that he will be involved, although most people know that the so-called Tongfan is likely to be the factory guard

is a crime that blocks the mouths of the world.

"No one bothered with the mines, it was worth it." Zhu Youzhi seems to know that this group of people was wronged, but he didn't want to redress the grievances of this group of people, "They should also be responsible for what they did before!"

Xiao Jing asked, "What about sin......

Zhu Youzhu said: "Leave it to Bingkuan, I believe that Bingkuan will not be wiped out, but he will not give up. Some things are like that, and if you don't do it ruthlessly, how can you leave that group of people speechless?"

Xiao Jing also instantly understood that the so-called "those people" were actually the mainstream traditional civil servants of the DPRK and China.

"How's the war going on in the frontiers?" Zhu Youzhu seems to want to turn the page on the affairs of Yongping Mansion and focus on the side matters instead.

Xiao Jing said: "There are troops sent everywhere, and the troops sent by Datong and Bitouguan are the fastest, but with Liu Yu, the governor of Jizhen, sending troops, I heard that more than 6,000 cavalry were mobilized to go in the direction of Daning, because Jizhen is the closest to the Beijing Division, and its news transmission is the fastest, even if its troops are not the first, the news is endless."

"Liu Yu ......"

Zhu Youzhu read this name and frowned slightly, it seemed that the emperor was not very good at defining Liu Yu.

It's as if Liu Yu was extremely controversial in the court.

On the one hand, Ma Wensheng thinks that Liu Yu is superior in ability, he is a famous handsome man who can be cultivated, and can even let him enter the court as a squire and a scholar, but on the other hand, some people think that this person is mean and greedy for money, and even unscrupulous means to meet his boss.

In short, Liu Yu's comments in the DPRK belong to two extremes.

Xiao Jing said, "Your Majesty, based on Governor Liu's previous achievements in the local government, he should not be an ordinary person. He has the ability, but he is also criticized in many places."

"Hmm." Zhu Youzhu bowed, "In the past, I didn't really want to use this kind of person, it was too clever. But with Bingkuan Zhuyu in front of me, I feel that even if he may not be able to do as well as he should in some of his conduct, at least he can still do things, as long as he reins in those not very good qualities."

Xiao Jing pondered in his heart.

Not very good heart...... This means that if you remove the shortcomings, you can make it all advantages, right? Are the shortcomings so easy to eliminate?

Your Majesty, you simply said that because Zhang Bingkuan has offended too many people in the court, you want to find those who have bad deeds but are capable, and force them to stand on Zhang Bingkuan's side...... This statement may be more acceptable.

"Decree a reward!" Zhu Youzhu said, "Let the Hanlin Academy draft the edict of commendation, just say that I am very satisfied with the efficiency of Jizhou Town's troops, let the military officials and chief military officers everywhere see that as long as they can do things, even if they are sometimes impeached and attacked, I will also respect them!"

Xiao Jing said respectfully, "The slave is going to pass the word."

"Okay." Zhu Youzhu nodded again, "By the way, I will also commend Uncle Jianchang."

"Huh?"

Xiao Jing really wanted to ask, is it sure that it is Jianchangbo, not Xinjianbo?

Both have a building character, but the nature of what the two do is completely different.

Zhu Youzhu smiled and said, "Trillium is also very hard to do, since he is asked to do some drudgery, I should also give him some encouragement, I also want the people in the court to know, whether it is a relative or not, no matter what his previous ability is, as long as he works hard for the court, I will see it."

Xiao Jing was pondering in his heart again.

Your Majesty, you said that it was because of the relationship between the queen that you deliberately gave your brother-in-law a little sweetness, in order to make your palace more stable, and this statement is more acceptable.

"By the way, summon Wang Qiong to me, I want to discuss some military aircraft with him, after all, he will soon go to the northwest, which is a very important thing for the military and political stability of the northwest in the next five or six years, let's arrange it."

"Yes."

Originally, what Zhu Youzhu said to the minister was that after the end of the war of this patrol, Wang Qiong would go to Yansui to replace Qin Hong as the trilateral commander-in-chief.

But now, Zhu Youzhu couldn't wait to send Wang Qiong.

It's the same as saying......

The second half of this battle will be dominated by Wang Qiong.

For Wang Qiong,

Feel a lot of pressure.

Because as soon as Wang Qiong comes up, he will lead a war that does not seem to have any results, and this will be the first opportunity for him to convince the public and face the surging public opinion in the DPRK and China.

If it is a minister like Qin Hong, who is about to retire, such a war principle is a merit.

Then he Wang Qiong is reactive or wrong.

Perhaps Zhu Youzhu was also aware of this, so he sent a more radical Wang Qiong to the northwest to ensure that the war could achieve some satisfactory results for him, the emperor.

This made Wang Qiong feel the pressure on her shoulders.

What's worse is that Zhang Zhou is not in the Beijing Division, and Wang Qiong can't visit and ask Zhang Zhou's opinion before he goes to work, wanting to achieve some results on the battlefield in this situation...... Even if Wang Qiong racked her brains, she couldn't figure out where the key to breaking the game was.
