But early the next morning, a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old got out of a carriage, walked into the lobby of the Ministry of Justice without saying a word, pointed at Zheng Peng's nose and cursed.

After scolding, Zheng Peng found out that Jiang Ning was actually the master of the young princess Xia Silu.

Zheng Peng took leave for three days in a row before he dared to go to court. Although this matter did not cause any controversy in the court, the Lord Chancellor was already aware of it, and his words were sarcastic.

Jiang Ning also made arrangements the next day. Guan Sheng was responsible for the relevant operations of Luoyang Jing'an Division and returned to Yingtian Mansion in the atrium.

"This is ten thousand taels of silver, please accept it first." Jiang Ning put the banknote on the table and tapped it gently.

Yu Zhongting was stunned and said hurriedly: "Sir, this is not possible. If you have any instructions, just make arrangements. As for money, Yingtian's business is running normally and I have also bought some real estate. The money on hand is still

Wealthy."

After what happened last night, Yu Zhongting also had a new understanding of Jiang Ning, the master of ceremonies.

Jiang Ning said: "Don't think that asking you to respond to Tian is a sign of distrust in you, but there are more important things that can only be handled by you in Yingtian."

When he saw Jiang Ning in the atrium, he understood his thoughts with one word, and smiled awkwardly: "Sir, I have never had such thoughts."

Jiang Ning also smiled. There was no one around, so he spoke: "I want you to take 20,000 taels of silver and find a place, preferably in the mountains, to build a villa for the personnel of Yingtian Mansion and Luoyang Jing'an Division."

training work.”

"Training? Master's consciousness..."

"Yes, it's training." Jiang Ning nodded: "The so-called training means that these people belong to the Jing'an Division, rather than dedicated intelligence personnel. Every force in the imperial court has its own armed forces, even the feudal officials.

, the princes all have their own guards, ranging from dozens to as many as a hundred. Because of the existence of Jianghu, it is understandable for them to do so. The court also acquiesced in this approach, but generally as long as it is not excessive, Yushitai will not

It doesn’t matter.”

"But our Jing'an Division does not have it. If one day, Jing'an Division is besieged, no matter which force it is, we will have no place to fight back. Brothers are going through life and death. I don't want to think about it in the end. We can't guarantee their safety, even if they don't need it."

, their families also need to be protected, and they cannot be allowed to bleed and shed tears."

Jiang Ning said something touching, paused, and continued: "This is a book on the art of war. I compiled it in the past two years. Just follow the above method to train. These people don't need to be many, only about a thousand people are needed.

Yes, but you have to select carefully."

"As for whether it is necessary to expand the scale, Qianxun will inform you when the time comes. You don't have to worry about the cost. Someone will take care of you in Yingtian when the time comes."

"But Young Master, this...isn't this just raising a private soldier?" Yu Zhongting still expressed his worries: "If the court discovers it, sir, can you..."

Jiang Ning shook his head: "In Jinling, my brothers and I were in crisis several times. Bandits were rampant in Shandong Mansion. The number of soldiers raised in the villages ranged from three thousand to over ten thousand. Do you know why?"

"Please make it clear, Master." Yu Zhongting said.

Jiang Ning stood up and said: "I didn't understand it at first. The court clearly has soldiers and horses, and you can report to the official, and the legal system is there, why is it still like this?"

"Only when I arrived in Luoyang yesterday did I realize that this was the officialdom of the Great Xia Dynasty. Do you understand what I said?" Jiang Ning did not explain it thoroughly, but gave a hint.

Yu Zhongting couldn't help wiping the sweat from his palms. Jiang Ning also dared to say such treacherous words.

"So, these things must be started. You should make all preparations before the new year, and then start recruiting people for training after the new year. You can reclaim the farmland on the mountains, plow the fields on weekdays, and train during the slack time.

As long as they are well paid, care about their families, and solve practical problems, they will stay." Jiang Ning said: "The fifty thousand taels I got are far from enough. I will find a way for the rest."

Yu Zhongting knew that as long as he told this matter, Jiang Ning would be arrested in a matter of minutes, and Jiang Ning told him all these things casually, and even gave him 50,000 taels of silver. If he ran away, Jiang Ning would also

There is no way, is this trust?

"I understand, sir, don't worry. Yu Zhongting is going to sell everything and get this done." Yu Zhongting said with a cupped hand.

"Who wants to sell the iron?" Erqianxun walked in and asked doubtfully.

"Sir..." Yu Zhongting immediately smiled.

"Have they already gotten to know each other?" Jiang Ning asked.

Erqianxun nodded: "We have already found someone to familiarize ourselves with him. Luoyang is not as good as Hangzhou. It is estimated that it will take half a month for just a few people."

"It doesn't matter, I have a lot of things to do when I get to Luoyang, and you need to worry about many things," Jiang Ning said.

Erqianxun smiled: "Young master, whatever you say, it's your own business. You are in charge of the overall situation, and there are many things to be busy with."

As the two of them talked, a carriage had already arrived at the door. After picking up Jiang Ning, they headed towards the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Qin Yuxuan stood at the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, waited for Jiang Ning to get off the car, greeted Er Qianxun, and then led the two of them towards the study.

In the study, Xia Yongkang had just washed his face and returned from the morning. It was almost noon. As soon as he sat down, Qin Yuxuan reported at the door: "Prime Minister, Jiang Ning and Qianxun have arrived."

When Xia Yongkang heard this, the fatigue just now was gone, and he opened the door with a smile: "It was quite hard to come all the way."

Jiang Ning smiled and said: "I originally thought I would spend my whole life in Hangzhou, or start a business, and make some money to travel around the mountains and rivers, but I didn't expect that I ended up here."

"Well, you're here. Yuxuan and Junxian saw your disaster relief brochure and were shocked. If you didn't come, they would have come looking for you, haha..." Xia Yongkang chuckled and gestured for Jiang Ning to take a seat.

.

Second Qianxun stood behind Jiang Ning.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Jiang's book has saved the lives of countless people. It is a great merit." Qin Yuxuan chuckled and raised his hand to praise.

Jiang Ning hurriedly said: "I accept the concession, but I heard from hearsay that it would be best if it is useful, but no matter how good it is, someone must execute it properly. Otherwise, wouldn't the whole world become saints? Then there would be no corrupt officials."

.”

The implication is that Qin Yuxuan executed it well.

"I heard that it was Zhang Qiuping, the Minister of Household Affairs, who attacked Mr. Jiang yesterday?" Qin Yuxuan asked again.

Jiang Ning nodded: "I had some festivals in Hangzhou before. I was afraid that we met yesterday, so we teamed up with the Ministry of Justice to attack me. But it's okay, it's nothing serious. It's just that the water in Luoyang is a bit deep. Now think about the right minister,
