Zheng Ming nodded slightly and said, "That's fine."

Liang Songnian was silent for a while, and then said, "I have offended His Highness a lot before, please forgive me."

Zheng Ming was slightly surprised, he laughed, and said, "Master Liang is joking, it's just a little misunderstanding, there's no need to take it to heart."

To say offend, Liang Songnian did offend him.

Although Zheng Ming was a little dissatisfied, and even gave Liang Songnian a slap in the face, he did not always hold grudges in his heart.

It's just that he didn't expect Liang Songnian to put down his face and apologize to him.

Liang Songnian looked at Zheng Ming with a tender face and sighed slightly in his heart.

With such a unicorn, why didn't His Majesty make him the crown prince!

When he was in Kyoto, he didn't know much about Zheng Ming and didn't feel deeply, but after coming to Shanhai County, the more he knew about Zheng Ming, the more shocked and delighted he became.

Especially the dismounting that Zheng Ming gave him in front of the city gate, although it made him lose face, it also made him understand Zheng Ming's power.

Looking back now, he has no choice but to sigh that Zheng Ming was so hard on him.

Compared with the flamboyant princes in the capital, he suddenly found that the fifth prince, who was ignored by everyone, seemed to be the most suitable prince of the Dali Dynasty.

"Thank you, Your Highness for your forgiveness!" Liang Songnian cupped his hands.

Zheng Ming smiled and said, "Master Liang, please have some tea."

Liang Songnian picked up the tea bowl and took a sip with a heavy heart.

"Master Lu has been begging for corpses, and now the county magistrate is vacant, when does Master Liang plan to take office?" Zheng Ming asked.

Liang Songnian was stunned and said, "Your Highness is willing to let a lower official take office?"

"Why don't you want to?" Zheng Ming looked at the tea bowl in his hand and said, "Master Liang is a county magistrate appointed by the court. This king cannot but respect the court's decrees, and Shanhai County also needs a competent magistrate."

Liang Songnian is a capable person, so it is a bit wasteful to leave the old age alone, and making him a county magistrate is also considered to be the best use of the people.

As for the others, it's not that Zheng Ming is conceited, Liang Songnian can't make a comeback in Shanhai County.

Don't say that Liang Songnian didn't have this idea, even if he did, Zheng Ming could press him.

The entire county government was established by Zheng Ming. If even a small county government could not control it, Zheng Ming would not have to think about anything else.

"Xie Xie, Your Highness valued it." Liang Songnian readily accepted.

Now that Shanhai County is in a stage of rapid development, he also wants to show his talents.

He is not yet 50 years old, and he has not yet reached the age of retirement.

"Master Xin is the teacher of this king, and has always been the most trusted person in this king." Zheng Ming said.

"Xiaguan will cooperate with Lord Xin." Liang Songnian said.

Obviously this is Zheng Ming's advice to him, even if he takes office as the county magistrate, the county government is still dominated by Xin Qiji.

He actually admires Xin Qiji. Shanhai County can have such a situation, although Zheng Ming's support is there, but Xin Qiji also worked hard.

Only in this way can manage a county, it is a bit of a talent.

He felt a little aggrieved for Xin Qiji.

After sending Liang Songnian away, Zheng Ming just yawned, and the black devil came again.

"Yu Huatian didn't come back with news?" Zheng Ming asked casually.

After the Chinese New Year, Yuhuatian set off for the Dongying Dynasty, and has been there for more than half a month.

"Go back to His Highness, Lord Yu has not sent a letter back." The black devil said respectfully.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly, but didn't care.

Raiding the Eastern Ying Dynasty is a long-term goal, and it will not be effective in a short period of time.

In addition, he will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarchs. The affairs of the Dongying Dynasty are all handled by Yu Huatian himself, and Zheng Ming cannot interfere too much.

"Is there a problem?"

The Black Demon said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "His Royal Highness, the money of the Auditor's Office has run out."

Zheng Ming's face shook.

You must know that he just allocated 20 taels to the Audit Office a few years ago, but it was spent in just over a month. It really can be done.

But didn't say much.

It is not the first time that the Auditor's Office has asked for money.

It has only been four months since the establishment of the Audit Office, and Zheng Ming has allocated 60 taels of silver to the Audit Office.

Naturally, so much money was not given to the black devil or Yu Huatian for greed, but all was thrown out.

Building an intelligence organization is no easy task.

The Audit Court has no background, and can only rely on gold and silver to clear the way.

Of course, just relying on money is not enough, but now the Audit Office can only take it slow except for the money.

As long as a Jinyiwei with a strict structure and clear division of labor can be established, let alone 60 taels, even 600 million taels will not be a loss.

Zheng Ming wrote a note and stamped it with his own seal.

This time he directly allocated 40 taels to the Audit Office.

Anyway, with the 200 million taels of windfall from the Blue Mountain Sect as a base, he didn't feel bad about spending it.

"How many people are Jinyiwei currently on the register?"

Hei Mo took the note and replied: "There are more than 200 peripheral personnel, and about [-] core members."

The peripheral personnel are people at the bottom of the society, they may be some slaves and followers.Although he has no combat power, he can get some important information because he is by the side of some important people.

Such people are the most susceptible to the temptation of money, and of course the most rebellious.

Therefore, the peripheral members do not know the existence of Jin Yiwei, they are some people who exchange news for money.

The core members are different. They not only have to undergo strict scrutiny at various levels, but also have special skills. Most of them are sent from Shanhai County, and only a small number are secretly recruited from outside.

Zheng Ming nodded slightly and said, "Is there anything else?"

"His Royal Highness, we just received news that people from Baizongdian will come to Shanhai County recently." He said.

"Hundred Sect Hall!" Zheng Ming raised his eyebrows.

There are many sects in the Dali Dynasty, and there are many warriors who also belong to the sects. In order to facilitate the management of warriors, the court and Bailianzong jointly set up the Baizong Hall.

The responsibilities of the Baizongdian include managing the sects, combating crimes by martial artists, chasing down wanted criminals, and maintaining the harmony of the rivers and lakes. Due to the privilege of the imperial court and the Bailianzong, the Baizongdian has great power.

At some point, even a small part of the local garrison can be mobilized.

The actual controller of the Hundred Sect Hall is the Hundred Refinements Sect.

In order to expand their warrior power, the royal family allowed the princes and county kings to issue sect orders, and in order to control the power of the royal family, Bailianzong asked the Baizong Hall to strictly examine the sects in the fiefs of the princes.

Anyway, the two sides are competing, you have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

A few years ago, Zheng Ming gave the sect orders to the Yihua Palace and the Northern Xuanzong, and now the Baizong Palace is here to find fault.

"Hundred Sect Halls in Beishan Province?" Zheng Ming asked.

The headquarters of the Hundred Sect Hall is in Kyoto, and branch halls are set up in various provinces. Each branch hall contains a hall master, three deputy hall masters, twelve deacons, and several five-person teams.Under normal circumstances, the head of the hall is served by the deacon of the Hundred Refinements Sect, and the other members are selected from the sects in each province.

Chapter 78 Situation in Shimijima

"Exactly, the leader of the team should be Liu Yuan, the deputy hall master. This person is from Sijianmen. He is an elder of Sijianmen. He has a second-rank cultivation base and likes to collect swords." Black Demon said.

Zheng Ming pinched his chin and fell into contemplation.

It shouldn't be too difficult for the Hundred Sect Hall to come to review this time. After all, Shanhai County is a poor place, and no one is paying too much attention now, so naturally they will not put too much attention on Shanhai County.

Just arranging a deputy hall master to come, obviously it is going through the motions. If the Baizong Hall really values ​​Shanhai County, it should be the hall master.

"Prepare a better sword and give it to the deputy hall master at that time, and treat them well when they arrive," Zheng Ming said.

The Hundred Sect Hall is the lackey of the Hundred Refinements Sect, and he has not yet reached the time to collide with the Hundred Refinements Sect.

"Subordinates obey." The black demon replied.

Zheng Ming said thoughtfully: "Who is the hall master? Is it possible to buy it?"

After all, Shanhai County belongs to Beishan Province. Officially, he has a little face as a county king. Although the officials will not get close to him, they will not come to make things difficult for him.

But the Hundred Sect Hall is different. They are under the control of the Hundred Refinements Sect, and what they like to do most is to find fault with the royal family.

"The master of the Beishan Provincial Branch is Wei Bin, a direct disciple of Bailianzong. This person is a martial arts idiot, and he is not interested in anything but martial arts."

The Hundred Refinements Sect is divided into the outer sect, the inner sect, and the deacon-elder group. Among them, the direct disciples refer to the disciples of the elders, all of whom are young people with outstanding talents.

For example, Zheng Ming's former fiancee, Yu Nanxi, was a direct disciple of the second elder of the Bailian Sect, and this Wei Bin was also a disciple of a certain elder.

"What cultivation base?" Zheng Ming asked with a frown.

"Second-grade peak." Black Demon said.

Zheng Ming pinched his chin and thought for a while, then said, "Let's find a way to bribe a deputy hall master first. This time, Liu Yuan, who is leading the team, can try it out."

In the future, I am afraid that I will have to deal with the Hundred Sects Hall, and there is a person who should be able to control the information of the Hundred Sect Hall.

The money is spent first, and there may be unexpected harvests.

Zheng Ming loves money, but he also knows that money is only valuable when it is spent, and it will only take up space in the warehouse.

As long as he spends it where it is useful, Zheng Ming will not be stingy.

Since Liu Yuan loves swords, he will do what he likes, and if one is not enough, he will give two.

As long as he dares to accept it, he will return it later.

There is nothing in this world that can be taken for free.

And it's not just Liu Yuan, maybe he can try to win over Sijianmen.

A sect is more valuable than a deputy hall master.

……

Siyuan City is a small city on the Siyu Island of the Eastern Ying Dynasty.

It is said that it is a city, but it is actually similar to a town. Except for the castle-like Daming Mansion in the center, there are some low wooden houses around it, which look similar to the original Shanhai County.

Regardless of the dilapidation of Siyuan City, in fact the real Siyuan Kingdom has been passed down for more than 300 years. It was still the overlord of Siyu Island 100 years ago, occupying almost half of the land of Siyu Island.

It is a pity that in the past [-] years, the Siyuan Kingdom has continued to decline, and now only such a small town is left, so the once glorious Siyuan Kingdom has become the now dilapidated Siyuan City.

Furukawa Yoshimoto is the No.19 daimyo of the Siyuan Kingdom. He just ascended to the daimyo position three years ago, and his dream is to reproduce the glory of his ancestors.

It is a pity that the Siyuan Kingdom is so weak that it is difficult to even protect itself, let alone expand.

The national strength is weak, and the warriors under his command have left one after another. Today, the Siyuan Kingdom is almost exhausted.

Originally, Furukawa Yoshimoto had given up hope, but just a few days ago, a mysterious powerhouse came to Siyuan City and said he was willing to support him.

Although Furukawa Yoshimoto had doubts, in the face of such a situation, he had no other choice.

So he appointed this mysterious powerhouse as his first act minister and gave up all the rights in the country.

Now he is not afraid to become a puppet daimyo controlled by others, because it is better to be a puppet daimyo than to be destroyed.

This Mu Chen is Yu Huatian.

It is said that after Yu Huatian came to Siyu Island, he was stunned.

Siyu Island is really messy. Not only are there more than a dozen big names, but there are also many cultivating families. All day long except for fights, they don't do anything serious.

Yuhuatian feels like he has nowhere to go because of the Shiyu Island, which is like a hemp ball.

After carefully checking the information of the various forces several times, Yu Huatian decided to find a place to stay first.

So the decaying Quaternary Kingdom became his first choice.

Although the Siyuan Kingdom is easy to control, how to open the situation makes Yuhuatian feel embarrassed.

Direct recklessness is definitely not enough, even if the four yuan country has his support, the power is still at the end of many famous countries.

After all, he only brought a dozen factory guards, and he couldn't sweep the countries.

As for the power of the Quadruple Kingdom, that's kind of funny.
