That night, three cavalry teams set off from the headquarters of the Duke of Xiuguo Mansion, but Chen Wen was still the same. After dinner, he read the book and went to rest, preparing to continue to meet those characters who need to be met tomorrow. Tianlai Novel. | 2

At the same time, in an inn in the south of the city, Wang Fu, a businessman from Quzhou, tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

A month ago, he set off from Quzhou to Jiangxi. When he arrived at Guangxin Mansion, the siege of the Lenbuo was still in progress. He had never seen Chen Wen and had no contact with his accompanying staff. After finding out that Li Ruixin had already led the army, he went directly to Nanchang. The Ming army defeated Hong Chengchou, and Jiangxi was empty. Since he set off, he would definitely attack the provincial capital Nanchang. He didn't think about this at all. Even if it was not, he could just find a place to wait, and the Ming army would definitely kill him.

After packing up his luggage, Wang Fu embarked on the road to Nanchang with the donkey cart he had bought in Changshan County. He was cautious along the way, but he still ran into the defeated soldiers twice. He had to throw the donkey cart away to be considered to have lost his life. In the end, he rushed to Nanchang, which had been revived by the Ming army two days before Chen Wen arrived here.

I thought that with the fact that I had just waited for a few days, I could see the Ming army commander. I received the endorsement of the Ming army, and acquired military supplies for the Ming army, thus making the first pot of gold. Unexpectedly, the general surnamed Li was so busy that he was not touching the ground every day that either instructed the Ming army to attack this county or the Ming army to attack that county. After Chen Wen arrived, he even got into the camp and no one could see him.

In fact, even if this is not the case, he may not be able to be received. Jiangxi is about to recover, and he is not the only one who sees this great business opportunity.

When he was in Guangxin Mansion, he had met several merchants who were not very familiar with him, but the military operations continued, and even these merchants with the means were hitting a wall. In recent days, when the military operations came to an end, these merchants quickly obtained the endorsement of the government based on their cooperation with the Ming army in Zhejiang in recent years, opened a warehouse in Nanchang, went to various counties and towns to sweep away the goods stranded due to the war, including his idol, Mr. Zhu's youngest son!

After a few days, I have found all the ways I can find. I was either busy with this mess or simply forgetting him like him, and there was no way to do anything.

Seeing that some of the merchants could even start trade one step later, but he could only sit here wither. Wang Fu was as if he was scratching his heart, how could he sleep!

I tossed and turned for a long time, but it was already late at night, but after thinking about it, I must not go on like this. I lit the oil lamp and found the last prayer post. After pondering for a long time, I could write it.

"Wang Fu, Cao Min of Huizhou, worship."

……………………

The next morning, Chen Wen began to receive and surrender again, and anyway, he worked with the captured civil servants and generals of the Qing Dynasty.

The first batch of civil servants who need to be met today were from several Raozhou Prefecture. Raozhou is located east of Poyang Lake and is the last target of the Ming army's troops this month. Chen Wen is concerned about Raozhou, not because it is the ship manufacturing and water transport center of the Nanchang Shogunate, but because of Fuliang County, Raozhou Prefecture, the place called Jingdezhen.

Jingdezhen was formerly known as Changnan, and was famous for its abundant porcelain, which led to the sound of "a". The current name was given by Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty and has been used since then. In later generations, like Shanghai County in Songjiang Prefecture, it swallowed up Fuliang County, which it once belonged to, and merged the former Leping County. Chen Wen was concerned about Jingdezhen's porcelain and the imperial ware field.

"If you return to the Duke of China, the imperial weapon field was built during the Hongwu period and was always served as the governor of the pottery. Now, it is the bannerman of the Interior Ministry who is in charge of the management. When the King of the King recovered the Raozhou Prefecture City and followed the Changjiang River to Fuliang County, the guys had already escaped."

"I see."

The eunuch, Chen Wen did not have it, let alone the Ministry of Internal Affairs. As for handing over to the country, it was only the treatment that was only dug out from the ground. He did not intend to return the imperial court to the Yongli court like this. Not to mention that he returned it to Yongli, it was still in the hands of Yongli, or Sun Kewang. He only said that what he handed back to this time was the imperial court, and tomorrow they would ask for something else and expect those internal fighting dogs to do it at their own pace.

“What is the scale now?”

Hearing this, the magistrate of Fuliang subconsciously wiped the sweat from his head, and then replied carefully: "If you return to the country, you will be in chaos in recent years and the loss of craftsmen is serious. This year, the imperial court issued an order to abolish the craftsmanship system in the imperial yard and change to the hiring system, and the output has been restored. However, the Tartars in the Ministry of Internal Affairs have levyed excessive taxes and pursued excessively. As far as students know, there is no recovery."

The imperial weapon field was not managed by Fuliang County Government. This was the case in the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty. The county magistrate here was just afraid that he would anger Chen Wen because of this bad news, but he did not dare to hide anything. Therefore, he said this over and over again and finally handed over the blame to the old man from the Office of the Internal Affairs, and they did not wrongly accuse them.

Chen Wen heard a lot of things about the Qing Dynasty's Interior Affairs Office. A few cents were available on the market, but the Interior Affairs Office dared to report dozens of taels of silver to the emperor. Daoguang and Guangxu were not mentioned, Qianlong was a personal spirit, and he was also played with by these servants. Even the ministers around him had to lie, saying that they ate four eggs as broken eggs before they could barely deal with it.

Others, as for the kitchen that can only cover tens of thousands of taels of silver, and requires thousands of taels of silver to maintain every year, there are countless jokes such as making soup with a patch when the clothes are torn and patched than redoing.

Now think about it carefully, what salt courses and canal transportation are all very slag compared to the profit margin of the Office of the Internal Affairs. This is the most oil-water department in China's history, no doubt about it!

Chen Wen was very satisfied with the magistrate's answer. He had to wait for the relevant investigators to come back to talk about the specific situation. He was not in a hurry, so Chen Wen turned to ask some local administrative matters. However, Chen Wen asked Fuliang County Magistrate, but the magistrates of the other counties became a little anxious.

There are seven counties in Raozhou, the prefect Zhang Daocheng and the magistrate of Poyang Town Hao Zongfu are members of the Nanchang Shogunate. The two guys will naturally run away. However, only one of the magistrates of the other six counties fled, and the others sat here waiting for Chen Wen's preliminary assessment. They were mules and horses. What was the starting point for the Ming army next? Today is crucial, but Chen Wen has been chatting with the Fuliang magistrate until now, and the others didn't ask a question, asking them not to hurry.

After a while, Chen Wen asked almost the same question, the time was almost the same, and the person was a little tired. He looked at the other civil servants and planned to end the meeting with just a few questions. After a while, he continued to meet the next group of people. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the magistrate who was sitting at the beginning of his mouth really made him feel energetic.

"Report to the Duke of the People, the Dexing County where the students are located in recent years, produces a lot of mineral deposits such as gold, silver, copper, and lead. I would like to ask the Duke of the People to increase the mining volume to meet the hearts of the scholars and people in the county of Dexing!"

In order to seek good fortune, the shameless feudal bureaucrats sold out their natural resources in foreign lands and did not hesitate to destroy the natural environment. They would be scolded by future generations. However, this favorable devotion to Chen Wen actually touched Chen Wen's heart, and he chatted with the magistrate for a long time before ending this reception.

Next, Chen Wen met several groups of various people and had lunch. It was not until the afternoon that it was the turn of two senior civil officials, including Cai Shiying, the governor of Jiangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and Qin Jiazhao, the commander of Jiangxi.

Cai Shiying and Qin Jiazhao were still on the way to come, meeting different people, and having to show different styles and postures. Chen Wen felt a little tired after coming and going like this. He stretched his waist, turned his head and asked, "Who are the people in the following batches?"

Upon hearing this, the responsible staff flipped through the booklet and then said to Chen Wen: "Report to the Duke, the next wave will be several local gentry from Jiangxi, including a monk."

"oh."

……………………

Since being captured by the Ming army, Cai Shiying and Qin Jiazhao have been locked in a cell. Cai Shiying is from Jinzhou, while Qin Jiazhao is from Liaoyang. To put it bluntly, they are both from Liaodong. Their family and tribe members are now in their hometown or in Beijing. They always have close relationships. And they were officials in one place, but they were in trouble together, and their friendship quickly rose in the cell.

These days, the two of them have always been fighting each other together to serve the Qing Dynasty, so that their family members will not be exiled to the ghost places like Ningguta, or even the whole family will be executed. Today, they can finally see with their own eyes what this old opponent who tortured them for several years looks like. Qin Jiazhao is fine, and Cai Shiying is quite excited. Especially when he thinks that he can curse Chen Wen in the hall, the news will probably be returned to Beijing, and Shunzhi will also have to give him a loyal slave, a loyal servant, or something, so that it will not affect the safety of the family.

The more I thought of this, the more I was looking forward to this meeting. After a while, I stepped into the courtyard of the headquarters. Cai Shiying looked closely and saw a tall general with a python robe and jade belt walked out excitedly and headed straight for them.

"Haha, I want my official to submit to you if I am down and greet you, and I want to dream!"

After looking at Qin Jiazhao, the two of them clearly saw the same thoughts as themselves in each other's eyes, and then nodded solemnly, inspiring each other secretly.

The general walked towards him with great strides, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer. Cai Shiying could even think of what he was going to have next - he just walked up to him, bowed and asked them to forgive him, and even untied the ropes on their bodies with his own hands, and scolded his personal soldiers for not being polite and invited them into the lobby.

Cai Shiying is used to these things in the court, and even he has used them. Eating bran and drinking thin rice in prison was just a stick, and the next courtesy was the sweet date used to attract people's hearts. It was just such a thing to come back and forth, and it was impossible to make him feel grateful. But now, the only thing that makes Cai Shiying worried is Qin Jiazhao, a tribute man, and has never seen too many big scenes. If his head really gets hot, wouldn't their Qin family be finished?

I wanted to remind you, but after thinking about it carefully, it had nothing to do with their old Cai family whether the Qin family died. Seeing that the general was getting closer and closer, Cai Shiying, who always wanted to show off the posture of a throne of a throne, didn't say that much at first glance, so that he would give this general a sudden attack.

In a blink of an eye, the generals came close to the two, but Cai Shiying suddenly appeared. The man did not look at them at all, but pointed directly at the gate of the courtyard. When he arrived in front of him, he passed by and ignored them.

"The Duke said that he didn't have time to see these two guys today, so he should take them back."

After the aides said that, they left, and they didn't say anything to them, but the two personal soldiers who escorted them. When they heard this, the two personal soldiers grabbed the ropes on their bodies and pulled them directly on the way, just like leading a horse.

……………………

In the gatehouse of the headquarters, there were a group of people waiting for reception. Those who could wait here were not Cai Shiying and other prisoners, and these were even local gentry and former officials from Jiangxi. They soon started chatting with each other.

If you are willing to come to visit in person, except for being polite, it is nothing more than asking for something. It is impossible to say that the army is not. Even if they are a little bit aware that Chen Wen is strict with the local gentry in Zhejiang, and he is not what he said at this time if he is dissatisfied with. After all, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and it is a big taboo to speak in a simple and profound way.

As they chatted, they quickly got to the current situation. In the south, the Qing Dynasty's territory has begun to be less than that of the Ming army, and the remaining few occupied areas have been separated and are about to be cut off from each other.

The situation is very good, so naturally there is no need to praise Chen Wen. He kept wearing a high hat, just leaving a little under the box, and when he saw Chen Wen taking it out, he suddenly rushed in. He cursed the martial artist in his heart for being unceremonious, but after a closer look, the man came to his python robe and jade belt, and his figure was tall, and his aura of looking down on all living beings was even more obvious. He was a big man who was in a high position and regarded human life as a mustard.

They had heard of it before coming. In the Ming army of Zhejiang, there was a duke, five counts and a group of generals with seals, all of whom were in power. Of course, it was Chen Wen, the Duke of Xiu, and this book was unquestionable. Among these people, there seemed to be a few who had to be given python robes, but they couldn't tell which one was.

Since this was the case, everyone didn't care about this rudeness and quickly bowed and bowed, not asking who it was, before talking about it. Unexpectedly, as soon as the man entered the door, he bowed and then asked: "I dare to ask who is the new Mr. Song."

As soon as this statement came out, a juren who was not very eye-catching when he was just chatting came out from among these Jinshis and bowed to the general and replied: "I really don't know how to be the word "sir". I dare to ask about the general's honor."
