The more Zhang Xinshu thought about it, the less uncomfortable he felt. He was a Jinshi from the third list and a standard Confucian scholar.

In the eyes of him and other Confucian scholars and officials, the so-called scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, only scholars can be the ruling class, and scholars are the people above all classes.

But he never expected that there was a businessman talking in front of him about the businessman's emphasis on contracts, efficient work, and better than the scholar-officials.

If this was what Yang Da said himself, he would have asked the yamen runner to come in and slapped Yang Da's face hard. If he didn't swell his face, he wouldn't be able to get rid of his teeth.

But Yang Da's name was what Liu Tianyu said, and this is not because he, Zhang Xinshu, could beat and humiliate him at will.

If he really wants to beat Yang Da, but Liu Tianyu's words are equivalent to ordering Liu Tianyu to beat him up. Zhang Xinshu can't afford this responsibility, or he can't afford to offend Liu Tianyu, a third-rank general and the boss of Guangji.

Zhang Xinshu picked up the tea bowl and said reluctantly: "This sounds really absurd."

Serve tea and see off guests... Yang Da bowed his waist and gave a gift, then turned around and left with a swagger.

Looking at Yang Da's back, Zhang Xinshu shook his luck. At this time, he wanted to quit the magistrate immediately, nor did he want his ten years of hard study to end up being insulted by a group of businessmen.

Even if he was let go of Jiangnan as an official and was held back by local gentry and students in Jiangnan, at least everyone was a Confucian scholar, and no one would tell him in person that a businessman was superior to a scholar-official.

After Yang Da left, Zhang Xinshu couldn't help but write a letter, copying Yang Da's words without missing a word, and then sending someone to Hou Hai to know.

"Damn it, damn!"

After reading the letter, Hou Hai swept his sleeves, and the indoor bowl and the cup and plate with delicate snacks were swept all over the floor.

For a second-tier Jinshi like Hou Hai who is famous for his masters, Yang Da's words are not only an insult, but also a challenge to the Confucianism and Legalism.

Zhan Buwen, an aide on the side, said: "Liu Tianyu was just a lucky person in the past. He had some money and cursed the governor and general to be appointed as military officers. He had some forces and courage in the local area, so he dared to assassinate the governor. Now it seems that this person is a top-notch man, and he has great plans for what he does."

Another aide Tao Yiqian said: "Fortunately, Mr. Wang placed Dongweng in Datong and showed that this person was planning a bad intention in advance. However, Dongweng still has to wait for the opportunity now, and there is no practical evidence yet."

Hou Hai slowly adjusted his breath, knowing that these two trusted staff members had extraordinary knowledge, and both of them were from the Donglin lineage and were both scholars. Although they were staff members, they were considered half of their friends.

Both of them said that the time is not right to deal with Liu Tianyu now, and Hou Hai knew that he could only endure it for the time being.

"What's the wind in the capital recently?" Hou Hai asked Xiang Zhanbu.

Zhan Buwen said: "Wei Yan newly added Shen Huo to the pavilion, and Xu Dahua, Huo Weihua and others were attached to him, and his wings were gradually growing."

"Mr. Wang has a layout?"

"It's not time for a breakup yet." Zhan Buwen and Wang Wenyan are close to each other and are more clear about the trends in the capital than Hou Hai.

Then, he said: "Since Lao Nu crossed the Liao River, Guangning was in danger and the people in the capital were unstable, most of them were for the affairs of Liaodong. In Datong, the court was afraid of chaos and was unwilling to take care of other matters."

"Liu Tianyu, I have chosen another good opportunity!" Tao Yiqian looked admiring on his face. "Although this man has never entered school, I heard that he was from the Liu family of Daming Mansion and also participated in the boy exam. Sure enough, he still studied."

"It's not the seed of studying, it's not even a child." Hou Hai was a little upset, and his hatred for Liu Tianyu made him reluctant to praise Liu Tianyu.

Then he said, "You can't continue to do nothing so much. Can you have any countermeasures for that Liu Tianyu?"

Tao Yiqian thought for a while and said, "I can only wait for a good opportunity. Now Liu Tianyu is building a military platform here to stabilize the border defense. There is no actual evidence. Even if Dongweng impeached the court, he will not allow it. Mr. Wang in the capital will not build momentum to help, so he can only wait now."

Zhan Buwen, who was standing aside, knew some tricks in the officialdom and said: "Dong Weng might as well write more letters to denounce Liu Tianyu's behavior and what Zhang Xinshu said. Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou both wanted to write to him. Besides, I heard that Sun Chengzong had a good impression of Liu Tianyu. In the case of overthrowing Xu Tong, Sun Chengzong also agreed. Dong Weng wanted to target Liu Tianyu, and he must give a brief explanation to Sun Chengzong."

Hou Hai nodded and said, "I'm going to draft the draft now. I'll ask the two gentlemen to help us take a look at the advice."

The two aides nodded and responded.

Tao Yiqian helped to polish the ink and said with a smile: "A martial artist, with our wisdom, does not need to deal with him seriously? I think there will always be people who hear the news. Dongweng just waits for something inside Liu Tianyu to do."

...

"The battle of Guangning has been completed. On the 23rd, Guangning lost the hand of the Eastern Captain..."

Liu Tianyu and others sat in the office room, and everyone looked very serious.

"Wang Huazhen deserves to die." Wu Yunting cursed angrily, "I talked about fighting wildly. The Mongolians he trusted had not arrived yet, but Sun Degong, who he trusted, was a spy. Zu Dashou, who he trusted the most, led his troops to escape first. Such a governor is simply a shame for my scholars in the Ming Dynasty."

As soon as the result of the Battle of Guangning came out, almost everyone felt frustrated and surprised. Even most people in Guangji did not expect that Guangning would lose so cowardly and shamefully.

Liu Tianyu knew that after Guangning defeat, the five tribes of the Neikhal, Chahar headquarters, and the Korqin tribes would face the Later Jin, and from then on, Mongolia began to enter the next attack range of the Later Jin.

"Time is getting more and more urgent." Liu Tianyu said softly.

After a series of battles, the Later Jin soldiers fought stronger and stronger. From the level of the cold weapon army, they had already left the Ming army far behind. Moreover, at this time, the Later Jin almost occupied the entire Liao Dynasty, and ruled millions of Han people. The mobilization ability and number of Dingkou increased significantly.

"I want to go to Heihe in person. Now the military and political affairs there need someone to preside over the presidency." Liu Tianyu said.

Wu Yunting next to him immediately advised: "Sir, I'm still in charge of Wangjiazhuang. I really need people in front of me, so I'll still be with me."

Yang Shuting also said: "Wangjiazhuang and Acropolis are not separated for the time being. Even if it is not Yunting, it should be mine."

Xiao Wu from the Military Information Department said: "You really cannot go out easily. Now most of the troops are being ordered to be transferred to the north. We have been shocking all parties before and dare not act without action. If the main force goes out, it is difficult to say whether there will be any accidents."

Liu Tianyu frowned and said, "So far, more than 20,000 civilians have been mobilized. Two regiments of baggage troops are in service, two regiments are training, and six regiments are gathering. The combat troops have mobilized four regiments to head north, and two regiments are mobilizing. The grain has been transported up to 20,000 stones, and various vegetables, meat and various equipment. Why hasn't the Xiaohe Fort been built yet? The military platform has been built and fifteen punch has been built, which has initially ensured the safety from Xinping Fort to Daheihe, but this degree is too slow, it is simply too slow."
