Chapter 965 The end of Shanxi Jin merchants

(0964)

【Today's second update is delivered!】

In fact, in Zhang Zhun's opinion, as long as there is cement and enough stone, there is no big problem in building a reservoir. If the technology is not up to standard, the reservoir can be fully built lower! The maximum amount of water saved is less. As for labor, there is no such thing as for the time being, and there will always be one in the future. China lacks everything, but never lacks people.

Ancient stone bridges were very strong, and if cement was added, they would be even stronger. The biggest characteristic of cement was that they could condense under the water, which would greatly speed up the construction progress. The difficulty of building a stone bridge is much more difficult than building a reservoir. Didn’t Zhaozhou Bridge exist for thousands of years?

Of course, with Jianshi's current ability, it is still difficult to deal with so many things at once. There are so many things to do, and Jianshi will definitely not be able to get busy with it. Therefore, Zhang Zhun decided to send someone to help him.

"Jianmo, have you heard of He Fengsheng's name?"

Zhang Zhun suddenly said meaningfully.

"He Fengsheng? He Keyou?"

Jianmo said a little surprised.

"Yes, it's him."

Zhang Zhun said with a smile.

Jian Mo said twice, wanting to say something, but he didn't say it out. Jian Mo naturally knew about He Fengsheng. As long as the scholars in the world had some knowledge, who would not know the name of He Fengsheng? At that time, He Fengsheng was also demoted to his hometown because of his confrontation with Wei Zhongxian. After returning home, he focused on accepting disciples, studying and educating people, and taught hundreds of disciples. Wang Shide was one of them.

Almost all students in Huguang area were proud to worship under He Fengsheng. Even if they could not worship directly under He Fengsheng, they had to find a way to pull themselves and He Fengsheng together. At that time, the southeast half of the Yangtze River was headed by Fushe, and many celebrities emerged. In the Huguang area to the west, He Fengsheng was headed by He Fengsheng, which shows his status.

Could it be that Zhang Zhun was preparing to let He Fengsheng come to preside over the construction of the Miyun Reservoir? This is indeed a great thing! With He Fengsheng's ability and prestige, there should be no problem. After He Fengsheng arrived, it would be very beneficial for him to listen to his teachings frequently. Perhaps, Zhang Zhun's arrangement was to make He Fengsheng reach a high position in the future. After all, such a famous person cannot surrender to the position of prefect.

However, Zhang Zhun said bluntly: "I'm going to let him be your deputy."

Jianmo's face suddenly turned red, and he subconsciously wanted to say something, but he didn't say it out loud. He Fengsheng came to be his deputy? Zhang Zhun's arrangement really surprised Jianmo. His first reaction was that he had heard it wrong. With He Fengsheng's prestige and ability, how could he be his deputy? It's incredible!

However, after being surprised, Jian Mo sensitively realized that Zhang Zhun's arrangement was of great significance. He dared to put someone like He Fengsheng as the deputy of the prefect, and perhaps only Zhang Zhun could do it in the world. As the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, he just accepted Zhang Zhun's arrangement obediently.

Zhang Zhun's arrangement was indeed intentional. Although many people say that He Fengsheng is a capable person and can take on heavy responsibilities. However, Zhang Zhun, who came from later generations, did not know much about He Fengsheng. For safety reasons, Zhang Zhun decided to let He Fengsheng first experience at the level of the prefect. If he really had the ability, it would not be too late to promote and use it in the future. If he was exaggerated, he would have to live his life at the level of the prefect.

After coming to the late Ming Dynasty, Zhang Zhun discovered that some historical celebrities were very famous but actually had no ability. It seemed that Liu Zongzhou was actually killed by Zheng Chenggong. It was also like Shi Kefa, who was very famous. In fact, he was not so outstanding when he was really doing work. What Zhang Zhun needed was someone who was capable and could do practical things.

Zhang Zhun glanced at the silent look casually and said calmly: "What? Arrangement is not enough? Do you want to give you a few more?"

Guan Si hurriedly said, "Enough, enough."

With He Fengsheng coming to be his deputy, Jianmo was of course satisfied. With this capable person helping him, he had a lot more things he could do. However, Jianmo was a little worried. After all, he was still relatively young, and in front of He Fengsheng, he was afraid that he would not be able to be on an equal footing.

However, his eyes fell on Zhang Zhun, and this concern disappeared. Zhang Zhun was only in his twenties and was already the supreme leader of the Hu Ben Army. Not to mention He Fengsheng, even those who are more capable than He Fengsheng are still serving Zhang Zhun now! What is the young one in the Hu Ben Army?

"Since that's the case, I'll ask you all about the affairs of the capital."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said slowly.

"My subordinates must do their best."

He said in a hurry.

Zhang Zhun nodded and picked up the teacup casually.

Jianshi stood up and said goodbye and left.

"grown ups."

As soon as Jian Mo left, Wang Junyu came in quietly.

He brought the latest news: Chongzhen had arrived in Xuanfu.

By the way, after leaving the capital, Chongzhen's movement speed was still quite fast. After leaving the capital, Chongzhen felt that his heart was up and down and just wanted to arrive at Chengdu Prefecture as soon as possible. The emperor was anxious, so the people below naturally rushed faster. They were worried that the Hu Ben Army would follow him from behind, so they were desperately rushing along the way.

"I wish him a good journey."

Zhang Zhun said lightly.

Zhang Zhun basically ignored the threat of this last emperor of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, Chongzhen did not have any threats. Chongzhen's evacuation from the capital was equivalent to giving up most of the Ming Dynasty. The people's support and rebellion were fully revealed at this time. Even the gentry and powerful people were probably desperate for Emperor Chongzhen.

Zhang Zhun speculated that it would be possible to effectively control Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting and others after Chongzhen arrived in Chengdu Prefecture. Especially Sun Chuanting and others, if they had no other ideas at this time, it would be absolutely impossible. It seems that it is necessary to ask someone to send Sun Chuanting a letter to contact him.

Zhang Zhun has always been more willing to use Sun Chuanting as the commander-in-chief of the Japanese strategy. Lu Xiangsheng has always lacked a little in terms of being vicious. It is probably not very good to deal with the Japanese. The Japanese have always been hard but not soft. Only ruthless people like Sun Chuanting can completely surrender to them.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside, as if two women were coming. Zhang Zhun looked up outside with some confusion. Why was there a woman coming at this time? The guards at the door did not stop him, which means they must be familiar. However, Liu Xianqian and the others were all guarding in Tianjin!

A moment later, a white shadow and a red shadow came in at the door, but Ning Lingwei and Hongniangzi arrived. Ning Lingwei still had a calm personality, wearing a white long dress, which made her tall and slim figure look unique. Hongniangzi was a little charming. Hongniangzi was a little shy when she saw Zhang Zhun. Both of them were old husbands and wives, but she was just ashamed. Ning Lingwei had no special expression, as if Zhang Zhun was transparent.

By the way, the women around Zhang Zhun are still very free to move. Especially Hong Niangzi, Ning Lingwei, Liu Rushi and others, as long as they like, they can go outside. Sometimes they can provide Zhang Zhun with a lot of reference when they see, hear, and learn about them outside. First-hand information is always the most precious.

Zhang Zhun looked at the Forbidden City behind him, then looked at Ning Lingwei, and asked with some confusion: "Xiao Ning, what are you doing here?"

Ning Lingwei said casually: "Let's come to the Forbidden City!"

Hong Niangzi explained that they had been wandering around northern Zhili before and understanding the situation in various places. When Zhang Zhun entered the capital, they happened to be near Lugou Bridge. Neither of them had seen the Forbidden City before, so they came here.

Zhang Zhun frowned quietly, trying to say something, but in the end he didn't say it out.

Ning Lingwei's life experience is really a bit special. Logically, Zhang Zhun should have told her the truth. However, for the sake of her future life, Zhang Zhun decided to hide the matter. However, she actually wanted to go to the Forbidden City. I don't know if it was a response or a pure coincidence? I hope it was a coincidence!

"Okay! You two go in and see!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said calmly.

Ning Lingwei and Hong Niangzi happily went out together and went into the Forbidden City.

Zhang Zhun subconsciously touched his nose. Ning Lingwei was really a little confused. Should she tell her the truth? Alas, I wonder what kind of reaction she will have after she knows her life experience?

"Sir, Zhang Yunyao is here."

At this time, Wang Shide came in.

"good!"

"Please come in!"

Zhang Zhun nodded and said.

Zhang Yunyao is from Shanxi, to be precise, a Shanxi merchant. After investigation by Maoyansi, it was found that Zhang Yunyao was the only one among Shanxi merchants. He was relatively powerful but also clean and did not engage in relationships with the Tartars. Because of this, his business was excluded to a certain extent in Shanxi, and in recent years he has been basically relying on his old capital.

After a while, Zhang Yunyao came in. This Shanxi merchant looked like an old private school teacher, tall and thin, with deep eyes sunken. He was indeed a scholar before, and he had been a scholar who had taken the exam three times but failed. So he returned to his hometown to teach in a private school and later went into business. It was probably because he had a little bit of literary character forged when he was teaching, which made him refuse to interact with the Tartars.

"Boss Zhang, please sit down!"

Zhang Zhun stood up and said enthusiastically.

"I am polite to you, Lord Governor."

Zhang Yunyao saluted in a regular manner and said respectfully.

Zhang Zhun came forward, took Zhang Yunyao's hand, and said enthusiastically: "Boss Zhang, sit down,"

Zhang Yunyao didn't expect that he would have such treatment. He was flattered and hurriedly said, "I dare not, I dare not be the governor so kind."

Zhang Zhun said seriously: "Boss Zhang, I value you because you have no contact with the Tartars. As for your family business, I don't care about it."

Zhang Yunyao's face turned slightly red and he said excitedly: "I don't know too much truth. This is not the reason that my race must be different. I still understand it. The Tartars bought a large amount of iron tools from our dynasty, which must be forged weapons. Naturally, I cannot trade with them."

Zhang Zhun nodded and said with satisfaction: "What a pity, it seems that there are too few people who understand things like this. Some people forget their righteousness when they see profit and help the enemy kill our own compatriots."

Zhang Yunyao did not answer the conversation.

He knew that he didn't need to answer the conversation, and Zhang Zhun would continue to talk.

Sure enough, after a moment of silence, Zhang Zhun said straight to the point: "Boss Zhang, what are the choices of the other big bosses?"

Zhang Yunyao said helplessly: "They are all ready to go to Chengdu Prefecture."

Those Shanxi merchants who colluded with the Tartars still knew themselves. They knew that the Hu Ben Army had already grasped their background. If they remained in Shanxi, they would definitely be butcher-killed by the Hu Ben Army. The Hu Ben Army's hatred for the Tartars and the traitors are obvious to all. There should not be too many traitors who died at the hands of Zhang Zhun.

In fact, Zhang Zhun had a lot of evidence about the exchanges between the Shanxi merchants and the Great Jin Kingdom. Where did these evidences come from? Of course, they were found in Huang Taiji's Qingning Palace. The Great Jin Kingdom was destroyed, and all the confidential documents were naturally owned by the Hu Ben Army. Even if they had traded a piece of wool with the Great Jin Kingdom, the Great Jin Kingdom had detailed records. This did help Zhang Zhun's great help.

"Are you leaving?"

Zhang Zhun asked meaningfully.

"Everything is gone."

Zhang Yunyao's bitter answer.

From Zhang Zhun's words, Zhang Yunyao has already speculated that those Shanxi merchants who have connections with the Tartars would be bad. Zhang Zhun is indeed very murderous. As long as he catches him, those Shanxi merchants will definitely not have a chance to survive. Their property will definitely be confiscated. Haha, what is the charge? Naturally, it is a collusion with the Tartars.

"Come!"

Zhang Zhun suddenly shouted.

"What are the instructions for the sir?"

Liu Mang hurried in.

"Call Zhong Wuying!"

Zhang Zhun ordered.

"clear!"

Liu Mang agreed and turned around and went.

After a while, Zhong Wuying arrived in a hurry.

After he cleaned up the old Tartar nest, Hetulala, the Tiger Cavalry Camp, quickly entered the pass and moved to the Northern Zhili battlefield. This time, the Tiger Cavalry Camp was stationed in the capital, and the Tiger Cavalry Camp was always on guard in Shijingshan near the capital. As the fist force of the Tiger Cavalry Army, the Tiger Cavalry Camp would definitely not stay near the capital for a long time. Once there is a combat mission, it will be dispatched quickly.
