Number of People

  Chapter 711 E-character Scroll Sword Roar The Foundation of West Wind Hegemony

  Feng Ziying hasn't fully figured out the arrangements for these people.

  The key is your own identity and position.

   I have to wait until the expiration of the political observation period next year before I can clarify where I will go in the next few years.

  Since I have come to this world, I feel sorry for myself if I don’t do something decent, especially in troubled times.

   Isn’t it said that heroes come out of troubled times? It's not that hard to be a hero, is it?

  Be careful first, accumulate strength, wait for the right time, soar into the sky, isn't it good?

  Sometimes Feng Ziying is a little unclear whether the current Great Zhou Dynasty is considered to be the end of the dynasty.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty is counted as the continuation of the former Ming Dynasty, it is definitely in the end of the world, and from the rise of the Jurchen in Liaodong, the Japanese people on the sea are eyeing, the chieftain rebellion in the southwest is imminent, and the Mongols outside the Great Wall are still fighting hard. In addition, the emperor and the emperor inside Coupled with the internal strife of Prince Yizhong and the financial situation that is on the verge of collapse, it feels even more dangerous than the previous life at the end of the Ming Dynasty.

  However, if the Great Zhou Dynasty is counted as a complete dynasty, and it has been established for less than a hundred years, it should not be the end of the period, and although internal and external troubles are serious, many things are still different from the end of the Ming Dynasty.

That is, the two emperors from Emperor Yuanxi to Emperor Yonglong belonged to the normal roles of IQ online, and the level of civil servants was not bad. The control rights are also in line with the normal state, that is to say, they are still in a salvageable state.

  As for financial difficulties, at least everyone from the emperor to the cabinet has realized that this can no longer continue, and that it is necessary to enrich the finances through innovation or improvement. This is a good sign.

  A dynasty that is willing to accept innovation and improvement, even if it is only a certain degree of reform, Feng Ziying thinks there is still hope.

It is precisely because of this that Feng Ziying is willing to try and work hard. Of course, he also needs to observe the changes of the situation at any time. If it really gets out of hand, he will certainly not accompany anyone to the funeral. It is not in line with his current situation to not break or stand. Mentality, but at that point, I am afraid I have no choice.

  But no matter what, people like Wang Wenyan will be of great use in the future.

   "Sit down, Classical Chinese, why are we so polite?"

  Feng Ziying took a look around after entering the flower hall.

  This house was found by Tony Er, it was a temporary place to stay for these few people, it was in Xiyuan Goulan Hutong not far from Fengcheng Hutong, and separated from Fengcheng Hutong by Bingmasi Hutong.

  It was originally a big family, but the owner died, there was no son-in-law, and several sons-in-law were arguing to separate the family. This mansion was the most valuable, so they simply sold it, and everyone took their money to find their own place.

  Three entered the compound, and a separate courtyard was taken out, and the location was relatively remote, so Feng Ziying simply bought it as their residence.

  Even if you are not sure what you will do and where you will go in the future, you must grasp the situation of the capital city no matter what.

  People who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries. I am seventeen years old and start from the sixth rank, so I have to prepare and accumulate for the second and third ranks after the age of thirty.

  The collection of intelligence information is often the most important, whether it is for friends or allies, or partners, and of course, for enemies and opponents.

Lin Ruhai was able to use a few of them as his staff for six or seven years. Naturally, they are reliable in all aspects. Now that this staff team is handed over to him, the scope and field of work will be different in the future, but they will never change. In fact, from a certain point of view, Feng Ziying hopes to bring out their own talents and help them play a role in all aspects in the future.

  Wang Wenyan needless to say, the role of people like Wu Yaoqing and Gu Dengfeng can be even greater.

Needless to say, Jiangnan, but in the north, especially the capital city, Beizhi, Shandong, and Liaodong, all kinds of information must be collected in a targeted manner. Of course, the information Feng Ziying wants may not be the same as that of the Ministry of War. The intelligence clues of the Criminal Ministry are consistent, and he has his own requirements and standards.

  Gu Dengfeng did not go north this time because there are still many relationships in the south that need to be maintained.

This is also specifically explained by Feng Ziying. Once the staff team goes north, the original relationship, especially many official relationships, will be broken. It will not be easy to continue in the future, especially since Gu Dengfeng controls the entire Nanzhili, Huguang and Jiangxi are very valuable low-level officials and staff resources, which can be said to be extremely important.

  The role of Qian Guisheng is equally important.

Shanxi merchants, Mongols, and Jianzhou Jurchen have established extremely close business contacts. They use some scum in Shanxi merchants to purchase a large number of materials for their military and people's livelihood, such as iron, tea, and salt. Even weapons and armor have become their important sources of supplies.

There are also many collusions with these Mongols and Jurchens in the frontier army. Many materials in the generals are directly sold to these foreign enemies, and some people have even become their potential support and insiders. It has grown in such a short period of time.

Qian Guisheng appeared in the role of a big private salt dealer in Yangzhou, because of this he was able to get in touch with many unknown secrets, and also provided some secret funds and information for the transfer of salt envoys in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. collection channels.

   Now that Lin Ruhai is gone, he has lost the source of salt and salt. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so naturally she can only stop, but many channel resources are still there.

Feng Ziying now wants him to connect these channels first, and even connect some resources in the north with the channels in the south, so that he can enter the Shanxi merchants and border military systems through commercial channels in order to obtain more information. source.

  The Feng family’s own business cannot be hidden from the court, and Feng Ziying of Haitong Yinzhuang did not expect to hide it from the court, but with Qian Guisheng, Feng Ziying was going to cultivate it in secret.

Qian Guisheng has always been secretive in Lin Ruhai's original system. Apart from Lin Ruhai and Wang Wenyan, even Wu Yaoqing and Cao Yu only know that there is such a person, but they don't know what this person's name is or what he is like. Moreover, Qian Guisheng never publicly appeared in the Yamen, and basically met with Lin Ruhai or Wang Wenyan alone.

  Like today, there were only Wang Wenyan, Wu Yaoqing and Cao Yu, and Qian Guisheng did not show up.

  For Wang Wenyan and the others, going north this time is a challenge.

Tao Guolu kicked them out. Of course, Tao Guolu won't be able to do it for long, but no matter who is going to take the helm of the Yamen, these "remnants of the previous dynasty" will definitely not be used. Lin Ruhai found such a way for them before leaving. Don't know exactly how.

They are not afraid of doing things. Wang Wenyan and the others are also confident that they can do things. What is the problem? When Feng Ziying was in Yangzhou, he could rely on the banner of Zhongshu Branch to open the sea and do something, but now the matter of opening the sea has gradually calmed down. Feng Ziying Also faded out, and became a pure Hanlin Academy editor, so what value are they?

  And they came all the way to the north, they are not familiar with the place, and they have to start everything from scratch, but now they don't even know what to do, okay?

  Seeing that Wang Wenyan and the others were a little silent, Feng Ziying also roughly understood their worries. If they lost their usefulness, would she still support them?

   "Well, let's get straight to the point. Inviting them to go north so soon is a last resort. I'm afraid we need to do some things right away, and there's no time to wait." Feng Ziying said with a smile. He knew that these words might move them the most.

"Oh?" Sure enough, the eyes of the three of them lit up. They were not afraid of being busy, not afraid of being tired, but afraid of having nothing to do. Now Feng Ziying actually said that time does not wait for me, and they need to do it right away, which means that the other party has long been available to use them. It is planned, which makes people feel at ease.

   "My lord, are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Wenyan was actually the most determined in his heart. Although Feng Ziying didn't mention too many specific things to him, in Yangzhou he believed that Feng Ziying was going to accomplish something big, and it was by no means restricted by the idle functions of the Imperial Academy. So although he was a little nervous inside, he was much stronger than Wu Yaoqing and Cao Yu.

"Well, you may all know that my father has just gone to Liaodong to become the governor of Jiliao. He brought a few from Datong and Yulin towns respectively. However, there are serious internal conflicts in the Liaodong Army. Li Chengliang doesn't pay enough attention to the firearms unit. As a result, the Liaodong Army has always been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Jianzhou Jurchen, and the Jianzhou Jurchen and Mongolian leftists have long been pervasive in infiltrating and buying the frontier troops in Xuanda, Jiliao, and colluding with Shanxi merchants. The transfer is not a secret to the Jurchen and Mongolia, but we only know a little about them. The Ministry of Military Affairs is very weak on the Jurchen side, and the investigation of the situation on the Mongolian side is not even as accurate and quick as my father through his own private channels. , How can we win the war against Jurchen and Mongolia in such a situation?"

  Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing have tasted it, no wonder this one is so confident, it turns out that he has been prepared for a long time.

  Governor Ji Liao's son, why did they forget this identity?

   Thinking of Zhongshu Ke Kaihai, thinking of Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan of the Imperial Academy, but forgetting that there is an even more prominent father behind him!

The general soldier of Yulin is nothing more than that, but now he has become the governor of Jiliao and the general soldier of Liaodong. The whole Liaodong extends to the eastern half of Beizhili. They are all under the rule of the governor of Jiliao. With more than 100,000 troops in his hands, the Jurchen tribes and the Mongolian left-wing tribes are facing each other. The most powerful army in the hands of the entire Zhou Dynasty is the governor of Jiliao, and it can be said that he has a lot of power for a while.

   "My lord, what are you going to do now?" Wu Yaoqing, who was extremely excited, couldn't help but licked his lips. As long as there is something to do, it's easy to say.

  Seeing that several people were a little excited, Feng Ziying smiled confidently.

"There are a lot of things to do, and I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower. You all know about the affairs of Jiliao, so let me talk about the affairs of Jiliao and Beizhili, as I said earlier, Ji Liao is deaf and blind in the face of Jurchen and Mongols, and the staff of the Ministry of War is very ineffective. Of course, this also has a lot to do with their simple and rough methods, so I hope you will rely on Ji Liao to quickly build up strength. Well, you have to think about the specific method yourself, whether you set up a caravan station by yourself, rely on the Shanxi merchants you are familiar with, or use both. Do business with Jurchen and Mongolia, but you all understand the purpose,..."

Seeing that both Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing nodded, Feng Ziying knew that they understood what she meant, "I will have a secret letter with my father, and he will give you as much convenience as possible, and you can also become a team that has a special relationship with Governor Ji Liao. Merchants, this is a common practice in the border areas. If Li Chengliang is like this, my father will naturally do the same. This will not arouse the suspicion of Jurchen and Mongolia,..."

  Wang Wenyan hesitated for a moment, "My lord, where is Captain Long...?"

   Doing this kind of thing must not be hidden from Long Jinwei, so Wang Wenyan reminded him.

"Long Jinwei's side, I have my own countermeasures, and the situation in Liaodong, Long Jinwei also knows, as long as it is not too taboo, it is not a big problem, Li Chengliang is so presumptuous, and I have never seen Long Jinwei and Li Chengliang. What can the Metropolitan Procuratorate do to him?" Feng Ziying sneered, "You should also pay attention to what you do, mainly buying fur and gold sand medicinal materials, and you need to be selective when selling goods to the Jurchens. Making money is not our goal. Intelligence is our goal, and I believe I don’t need to remind you how to operate it.”

   "Understood." Wang Wenyan nodded.

   "Besides, it's Beizhili." Feng Ziying took a deep breath.

  He visited Qiao Yingjia yesterday.

  Qiao Yingjia's attitude is very clear. Since the opening of the sea has too much impact on the south, and the north has not yet seen clear benefits, the attitudes of many scholars in the north have changed, which is not good for Feng Ziying.

Guan Yingzhen is from Huguang, which is better. If northern scholars like Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen and Feng Ziying are still jumping up and down for various affairs in Kaihai, it may arouse dissatisfaction among northern scholars, so the best way is to Avoid staying in the center, it is more appropriate to go down to avoid the wind.

   This news surprised Feng Ziying a little. The imperial court is full of food and benefits, but they are unwilling to defend themselves?

   Now such a good thing, it turns out that the northern scholars are dissatisfied with themselves?

  Is there something tricky here?

   Are you really dissatisfied with the strategy of Kaihai, or are you dissatisfied with yourself?

  But Qiao Yingjia did not give a clear answer, only saying that no matter from which point of view, going to the place by yourself is the best choice.

  Of course Feng Ziying knows that going to the local area is the best place for him to go, and he is also willing to go to the local area to exercise and polish himself.

  It's just that under such circumstances, the local government looks like it was kicked out of the court, which made him very unhappy.

  Although he also knows that leaving in such a way is actually more beneficial to him, at least it will make the emperor and the cabinet princes owe him something in their hearts, and they will naturally make up for it in the future.
