The Ming Dynasty started with caution

After coming out of Fengtian Hall, Li Dongyang lowered his head and said nothing. Yan Chengjin asked His Majesty to search the mansion. Could it be related to this?

Seeing Yan Chengjin also coming out of the hall, he asked tentatively: "Is that painting for you?"

Yan Chengjin was surprised: "Master Li's guess is good, and my subordinate also thinks so.

The man threw the painting on the ground to seduce me. Unfortunately, the official is someone who doesn't pick up lost things on the road. "

Min Gui on the side heard this and wanted to crash into Yan Chengjin's arms.

He did a good job in the Criminal Department, but after he came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, his whole life was ruined.

In the past two days, Yan Chengjin found that Min Gui was a little depressed. He was waiting for news from Jin Yiwei and to prove his innocence.

It's a pity that Jin Yiwei sent news that Wei En went on his own in prison.

Min Gui is like a kite that has lost its lead, teetering on the verge of collapse. I am afraid that this clear name will not be clear.

Yan Chengjin had to re-evaluate. King Ning's rank was at least a Diamond 2.

…………

Outside the capital, a fast horse galloped towards the Meridian Gate. The spy got off the horse's back and handed the memorial to the imperial guard: "Wang Shi, the governor of Guizhou, passed the eight-hundred-mile urgent memorial."

The eight-hundred-mile rush can only be used in a few cases.

"Wait a minute, give me the urgent report!" Qin Hong hurriedly came over.

He was waiting here for the sedan to get off duty, and just now he noticed the spies running towards him on horseback.

Unexpectedly, it was an urgent message coming back from Guizhou. Is there any news about the Battle of Miru? !

The urgent notes will also be sent to the duty room of the Ministry of War, and there is nothing wrong with him sending them to the palace.

Opening the Shuzuo, Qin Hong looked up to the sky and laughed loudly after reading it, and kept cheering, "I will send the Shuzuo to the palace right now. Your Majesty will be very happy after seeing it!"

After a while, Fengtian Temple,

Emperor Hongzhi read Wang Shi's memorial and repeatedly praised: "Wang Shi is really a great talent. Liu Hong, Qian Yue, Wu Da and Yang You were all defeated by the imperial court.

Only Wang Yue can be of great use, helping me put down the rebellion in the southwest. "

In the Battle of Miru, the imperial court changed generals several times, but all of them were killed by the sword. This battle lasted for nearly three years.

Now, it has finally subsided.

Xie Qian muttered: "As Yan Chengjin said, Milu was defeated and wanted to flee."

Li Dongyang also remembered what Yan Chengjin said, and when he saw that he was not here, he praised him: "This guy is talented, but it's hard to use him."

Now that the southwest is pacified, Emperor Hongzhi is worried about the people in the southwest. If he does not want to receive food relief, he must let the people be self-reliant and promote corn.

The southwest has very little canal coverage, but corn can also be grown on dry land.

Min Gui took a step forward and said: "Your Majesty, I request an order to go to Yunnan to promote corn."

The position of capital censor cannot last long, and there will definitely be a transfer within a few days.

Maybe go to Nanzhili to retire.

It would be better to go to the southwest to establish new achievements. When the time comes, you can return to the capital to pay the imperial edict, and you can be promoted to one level or become a grand master.

In the wild and desolate land of the southwest, with smoke and grass growing wildly, Emperor Hongzhi advised: "Yunnan is definitely not as prosperous as the capital. Can you please think carefully?"

Min Gui nodded heavily: "My will has been decided!"

Liu Jian nodded. Min Gui was upright and not easily bribed by the chieftain. He was more qualified for this position than the young censor in the Imperial Palace.

"I think it's okay!"

Emperor Hongzhi saw that everyone had no objections: "Then Min Qing's family will be appointed governor of Yunnan, and a thousand field camps will be transferred to the southwest.

Wu Kuan, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was appointed as the censor of the capital. "

Wu Kuan was startled. In the past two days, some people had speculated about who would serve as the censor of the capital.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate was originally a good place, but Yan Chengjin was there and the ministers were not willing to go. Min Gui's bad luck this time had something to do with Yan Chengjin.

As the ministers or assistant officers of the six tribes, their moral character is not low.

Especially in the Ministry of Civil Affairs, if you go to serve in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you will actually be demoted.

Emperor Hongzhi noticed something strange and asked, "Wu Qing's family doesn't want to go?"

"How dare I disobey His Majesty's decree? I will go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow to take over Master Min's post," Wu Kuan said.

Yan Chengjin heard that Min Gui had requested a decree from Yunnan.

This is a good thing. The southwestern chieftains and unruly people cannot be suppressed by ordinary censors alone.

Min Gui is unyielding, well versed in the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and is a seasoned man. He is a hundred times better than a rookie like Zheng Qian.

The Miru Rebellion has just been put down, and the southwest needs people like Min Gui to stabilize people's hearts.

But most of the capable officials in the court were unwilling to leave the capital.

However, what does His Majesty mean by appointing Wu Kuan?

It's just dawn.

Several civil servants from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were cleaning the courtyard.

Wu Kuan made a pot of tea and waited for Yan Chengjin to arrive. A quarter of an hour later, he saw the familiar figure walking into the small courtyard.

"Yan Chengjin, come here."

Yan Chengjin turned around and found Wu Kuan sitting in Min Gui's seat.

After Wang Ji cured his illness, Wu Kuan looked much more Buddhist than before.

"The imperial censor is looking for me?"

Wu Kuan said: "I won't find fault with you, so don't harm me. The water in the well does not offend the river."

"..." Yan Chengjin.

The harm Wu Kuan was talking about was Yan Chengjin's bad luck. Whoever got it would be unlucky. Dai Shan became an official and Min Gui went to the southwest. He still didn't know what the end would be.

…………

maritime,

The giant ship approached the coast, and after nearly three months, it finally arrived in Manchuria.

Li Zhaoxian went ashore and saw Manjiala people building their houses using coconut leaves and thin rattan sticks tied into large piles to serve as beams.

Men and women live in the same house without separate rooms.

It is simply even poorer than Hainan.

"There is such a country in the world. Master Yan also said that they have mountains of gold and silver, but why are they so poor?"

What he didn't know was that this was the decisive role of food.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew that merchants could earn a lot of money for the court, so why did he put agriculture in the second place?

Because he knew that food was more important than money.

Otherwise, it would be like the Kingdom of Malacca, which had gold and silver mines but was extremely poor.

The people here don't know how to farm.

Liu Jin held up the drawing paper and looked at it carefully with wide eyes: "Master Li, if you see a rubber tree, tell me."

Li Zhaoxian wondered: "What is a rubber tree?"

"Master Yan asked me to find a rubber tree and I can live if I find this tree." Liu Jin was happy.

Zhang Yong also had a drawing in his hand: "Brother Liu, why don't we let their king help us find it.

We are now envoys of the Ming Dynasty!"

Liu Jin thought it made sense.

Let the soldiers of the Beijing camp take the death row prisoners on the ship down.

The court ordered to build a paradise prison in Malacca.

But the king of Mangala must agree to it. Looking at the people around, they don't seem to be very friendly to them.

Liu Jin reached out and touched the salt on his waist. As long as there was salt, he would feel at ease.

"Master Li, the local official of Mangala is here." Zhang Yong had been to the Western Regions and could guess it at a glance.

Officials in strange costumes, with several soldiers, surrounded them.

But Liu Jin brought too many people, more than 10,000 people, and more than a dozen large ships. They didn't dare to get close.

"We are envoys of the Ming Dynasty. Ask your king to come out to receive the order."

Liu Jin took out an imperial edict from his arms.

The official said a lot, but he obviously didn't understand and had a strong hostility towards Li Zhaoxian and others.

Li Zhaoxian said: "Mangala often pays tribute to the Ming Dynasty. There must be someone who can understand Mandarin. Let's go to see the king of Mangala first."

...

Beijing, Yan Mansion,

Yan Chengjin heard that Zhang Xian sent someone to report that the big treasure ship was built.

He ordered He Neng to prepare a carriage and go to Liangxiang in person.

When they arrived at the shipyard, a huge ship was parked on the open space of the shipyard. It consumed countless wood and had 18 masts, which was extremely spectacular.

Song Jing said: "The students and craftsmen have spent more than three months to build it. Fortunately, they have fulfilled their mission."

This is the first time such a large ship has been built since the eunuch Sanbao went to the West.

The merchants in Liangxiang gathered outside the shipyard.

Yan Chengjin ordered Zhang Xian: "Go to the palace and report to His Majesty!"
