Take the system back to the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 188 Zhang Ji's Letter
The reason why he suspects it has something to do with the Salary Bureau is because Zhang Shuye, the servant of the household department, is very sure that the obviously extra part is official silver, which is quite easy to distinguish in terms of quality.But this year's silver smelting technology is in the hands of the government, which is called the soot blowing smelting method.

Just like good bows and divine arm crossbows cannot be easily made by the people, it is basically impossible for Manichaeism to break through and master such large-scale and cutting-edge craftsmanship in this era.In fact, if they had such skills, talents and execution ability, they would have been able to go to Beijing and work as supervisors in the Ministry of Industry or as senior technical officials. They could also take special examinations for similar manufacturing subjects. .

Therefore, although there is no evidence, Zhang Shuye's private conclusion is that there is a very powerful and powerful government agency involved in this silver and copper black curtain in the southeast.

In addition to Zhang Shuye's speculation about this matter, there was also a magistrate in Longyou County who had a strange bone structure and secretly wrote a letter to the Ministry of Households, and also stated the very unusual religious activities of the Manichaeism.

This man's name was Zong Ze, and the reason why he was considered to have a strange skeleton was because most people in the south were blind, and he was the only county magistrate who mentioned this.

We all know how difficult it was for weak and weak scholars with no foundation to be an official in the southeast during this period.It's a pity that this Zongze is a bit like Zhao Cheng. His literary accumulation can only be regarded as okay, but he has a gun-like mindset. Therefore, this scholar has pulled up his own team in Longyou County these years, and established his own team. His reputation formally overwhelmed the local officials such as the county magistrate, the county magistrate, and the county magistrate.

So Zongze can say whatever he wants, and he can control whatever he wants.

In fact, he will directly scold him if he is not used to it.He got his name by scolding the emperor and the prime minister at that time. Not only did he not get into trouble, but it made him famous. Even though his literary level was average, he was still a Jinshi.This can be regarded as one of the great wonders of the Song Dynasty. Basically, there is everything with a reputation.

Of course, since this guy Zongze is making irresponsible remarks, don't expect to be promoted. Zongze will be stuck in the local magistrate for ten thousand years.

And because of this, Zongze doesn't have any hope of being promoted. Anyway, the emperor and the prime minister scolded him back then, and he has to bear the reputation and price for this. So he is more like standing in the water and not afraid of the rain, and he dares to say anything Dare to poke.So he brought up the issue of Manichaeism.

He was stabbed everywhere, but no one ignored him, without exception, he was reprimanded by palindrome: nonsense, chasing after wind and shadow.

Finally, hey, Zhang Shuye, who is also a cruel official, received the document from Zongze, and everything coincided.

To put it bluntly, this is why Zhang Shuye and Zhang Kegong spared no effort to push the Wuwei Army into Chizhou.The distance is very close. If the Chizhou problem can be solved in this way, it will not only greatly alleviate the copper shortage situation in the household department, but also can sit on the whole southeast, and then manage the plans of Muzhou, Hangzhou, and Yuezhou.

Looking at the Wuwei Army now is also a club, but they are helpless, they are barely able to use it. I suspect that now that the powerful government agencies in the southeast are involved with the cultists and bandits, Zhang Shuye can’t accept the Jiangdong Army or the Liangzhe Army into Chizhou. .

Regarding these, all the plans and blueprints of his father Zhang Shuye that Zhang Ji has learned are temporarily in the top secret stage.

As a matter of fact, heroes come out of troubled times. It is obvious that Huang Wenbingzhi is so talented that he can't bear the big responsibility. Now that Zhang Ji has investigated it, he thinks that Zhao Cheng is actually more suitable than Zongze. He is the mainstay who can really help his father deal with the financial chaos in the south. The only trouble is that , the entanglement between that weird scholar and the Cai family is more complicated.

How to balance it well, how to make Zhang Shuye, especially Zhang Kegong, trust this Cai family, who looks like a deer and a horse, is a difficult technical task.

In addition, in view of the complicated situation, Zhao Cheng concluded that Manichaeism is a cult more than once on various occasions.Assuming that Manichaeism really has something to do with "powerful government agencies", and Zhao Cheng is actually slapping the Muzhou government and Liangzhe Road Shuaisi in the face, then his political troubles will come soon.

Based on this cognition, Zhang Ji disliked Li Jianyou for flirting and cursing for wasting time, so he drove away.Now I am writing an urgent book, stating some things to my father Zhang Shuye, and recommending it by the way.Finally: please father to help Zhao Cheng withstand the next political troubles no matter what.

"He is the most handsome and capable person that Ji has ever seen. If there is anyone who can solve the current crisis in the southeast, he has the greatest possibility. I hope my father will keep this in mind. Don't get too entangled with him. The key to getting close to the Cai family is that the people who are with the Cai family are not of the same quality as the Cai family. This point must be objective and understanding. In addition, it also requires a little bit of luck, just like the emperor Regardless of whether you are smart or not, you still need some luck and it is as simple as the old man betting that the coming year will be good."

This paragraph is the concluding sentence of Zhang Ji's letter to Zhang Shuye. Afterwards, he sent his retainers and confidants eight hundred miles to rush to Beijing...

Zhao Cheng left after completing his work report, but returned to Cai Mansion after a trip home.

This is because it was empty after returning home, Chen Meiniang was not there, and neither was the little girl Chen Abao.

Only then did I remember that for the sake of safety, all these oil bottles were entrusted to the Cai Mansion to take care of them. Naturally, they also theoretically became "hostages" in special times.

In the backyard, Lu met Cai Wenji's sister-like servant girl Shuang'er, and immediately grabbed her: "Where is my Chen Meiniang?"

"Your Majesty, my lord, Shuang'er has something else to do. I ordered a can of soy sauce and I'm going to pick it up."

Shuang'er turned around and ran away in a panic.

"Run what!"

Zhao Cheng, with his sharp eyesight and quick hands, caught her back.

This girl has always been a naughty girl, but now Zhao Cheng is not Wuxia Ameng but an adult, so Shuang'er dared not make a mistake, and said tearfully, "I don't know anything, sir, don't embarrass me."

Zhao Cheng was so frightened by her attitude that he jumped up and exclaimed: "What the hell did you do to her? You won't imprison her as a hostage or even kill her if you suspect me of betrayal, right?"

"Ah! How could such a thing happen?"

Shuang'er hurriedly waved her hands again, "My lord, don't misunderstand, your loyalty is hard to deny, and no one will do it. It's just that the lady ordered them not to leave. She wants to find out what is the relationship between Chen Meiniang and you. She will go to Guichi County to investigate. Your relationship with Chen Meiniang has gone..."

Huh, that's not right, it feels like she was outspoken, and Shuang'er raised her hand to cover her mouth again, as if I didn't know anything and didn't say anything.

Khan, it turned out to be like this.

Since this is not a big deal, Zhao Cheng said generously, "Shuang'er, I am surprised by your bones, and specially rewarded this thing, and don't tell your Miss Cai about your leaks. Tell me about her."

"I will be hung up by her and beaten to death!"

Shuang'er looked very speechless, but she curiously took the piece of chocolate and put it in her mouth. She was stunned. She really didn't expect that there is such a delicious thing in the world.

"If you give me another one, Shuang'er will tell you something about Miss."

Shuang'er immediately changed his mind.

Then I bought another one, it was cheap anyway, it was categorized as daily in the system, 10 points per box, 6 pieces per box.

After receiving the bribe, Shuang'er smiled crookedly, and said mysteriously: "My lady has a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. In fact, she cares about the adults. By the way, she actually went to Guichi County to check, but she didn't find out , was chased away by Master Pei, she is depressed. By the way, sir, let alone Shuang'er told you."

After saying that, he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Hey, where is my Chen Meiniang?"

But she couldn't hear it anymore, and couldn't shout back.
