Feng Yanlu felt a little unhappy. Who was sitting at the same table? Yang Zhao and Li Jingyao were fine, and the other few, Zhang Yanqing, were punished and removed from office.

Zhao Pu, the surrendered soldiers in the North? I heard that right?

Chen Zhiyong, a remnant of the Fujian Kingdom, was born in the Quanzhang rebellion state.

The toast was even more funny. Not only was the remnant of the Fujian Kingdom, but it was also a small head of the Donghai Gong's personal army. Moreover, it was different from the hundreds of people in the imperial guards' wings. Lin Renzhao was just a small head of the ten people.

Why are they all transformed into dragons and phoenixes?

This little head must become the military town training envoy, who is in charge of the training of all the soldiers in the prefectures and counties in the town?

Can he do it?

Donghai Gong, this is not nepotism, it’s simply a mess. I really don’t know how the Privy Council and the Holy Emperor approved these fragments?

Although before coming to Donghai, not only his brother said that he had already made some conspiracy. Even if he could not be harmonious with this Donghai Gong, he would still have to be at peace. But at this moment, looking at the officials recommended by Donghai Gong on the table, he really couldn't sit still.

In addition, after drinking a few more glasses, Lin Renzhao came to toast, and he blurted out, "I am so good at drinking with me?"

When Lin Renzhao heard Feng Yanlu's words, he immediately blushed, and then anger rose on his face.

"Come on, Hu Zi, I will accompany you this glass of wine. Feng Dujian is unable to win, so let's avoid it!" Lu Ning raised his glass with a smile.

Lin Renzhao glared at Feng Yanlu, turned around and bowed, "Thank you!" Now they are all important military town officials, Zhao Pu, Chen Zhiyong and Lin Renzhao, who are from the county magistrates, so they are called Lu Ning.

Lin Renzhao raised his neck and drank a glass of wine, and said, "I will give you wine for the first time, and I will drank three glasses in a row!" He drank three glasses of wine in one breath before he sat back to his original position.

Feng Yanlu knew that his words were inappropriate, so he didn't say anything.

After the banquet was dispersed, Feng Yanlu came to Lu Ning and smiled and said, "Duke Donghai, Your Highness of Yan, ask me to send me a message. When will the gunpowder be sent to him?"

Feng Yanlu didn't know the specific situation, but just received a letter from King Yan before leaving Jinling and helped King Yan send a message.

Lu Ning smiled and said, "Don't worry, in just a few days, I have transferred some from the firecracker site."

King Li Hongyi of Yan was indeed a character. Obviously, he did not believe in luck very much. Instead, he inquired in detail about the situation of his battle with the King of Jinjiang in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou. He knew that he had gunpowder to help him. When he arrived at Jinling, he met his messenger and left before the East China Sea. He also wrote a letter from him, asking for gunpowder and formula, saying that it was to be used to fight against the Wu army.

Lu Ning prepared a recipe for him and some gunpowder from the firecracker field.

Of course, the formula used as a firecracker site has a very wrong ratio of the three main raw materials, and there is a lot of messy additives. The sound will definitely sound. As for how the King of Yan uses it, it is not his own business. If it really doesn't work, he sent him a few veterans who "discovered the original prescription".

Seeing Lu Ning's promise, Feng Yanlu was relieved. Although he didn't know what gunpowder was, he seemed to attach great importance to it in the letters of King Yan. Although he was just a little bit of a word, there would always be benefits to facilitate this.

"Donghai Gong, when will you go to Haizhou to manage the army?" Feng Yanlu asked with a smile again.

Except for the Qingyuan Army, which was independent in Quanzhang, there were no real soldiers in the military towns. The soldiers and county soldiers in their jurisdiction were dispatched and commanded by each military town.

There are regular soldiers in every prefecture and county. In addition, there are also soldiers in the country training. In the former dynasty, they are called united soldiers, which means farmers recruited and trained during the slack farming period, and they return to farming during the busy farming period.

Nowadays, there are 1,000 permanent troops in Haizhou and 2,000 permanent troops in Chuzhou. Each county and township has a regiment training of about 5,000. Of course, the combat effectiveness of the township corps training can be ignored. It is also possible to use it to prevent thieves and thefts. If you really encounter an enemy invasion, it will be vulnerable.

When Feng Yanlu urged himself to go to Haizhou, Lu Ning patted his head, "I was tired all the way and was infected with the cold. When I was about to raise my illness, I reluctantly went to Haizhou once every seven days. I couldn't waste government affairs, so I fought for this body and worked hard for the Holy Emperor!" In the seven days, it was enough to take a day to deal with Haizhou's government affairs, unless there was any problem with the bureaucratic and military machinery running below.

Feng Yanlu looked at him speechlessly, as if Liu Congxiao impeached the ten major crimes of Donghai Duke, there was a "pseudo-ill illness and negligence, and the subordinates followed suit", saying that Donghai Duke took the lead and led the officials of the government to pretend to be sick and could not go to the yamen. "Brother Li Mao, it's not enough!" Liu Congxiao, which directly cursed Donghai Duke as Li Linfu and Li Yifu.

Now it seems that this impeachment is really...

However, Feng Yanlu also complained in his stomach and smiled on his face: "Okay, Donghai Gong is well cultivated and hopes to recover soon!"

Lu Ning nodded slightly.

...

In the evening, in the warm hall of the North Garden of Juxian Pavilion, Lu Ning summoned Wang Jin and several other shopkeepers.

These big shopkeepers are more like trading groups under Lu Ning. They buy goods from various places to the East China Sea, mainly dealing with Hu merchants.

Of course, Lu Ning's intention to drink the old man, these merchants also have the intention to collect information. Of course, from the perspective of merchants, this information is used by merchants, such as prices in various places, disasters in mountains and rivers, and even the character of officials in various prefectures, soldiers and military disciplines, etc. Where did thieves appear? Where is the more peaceful? And so on.

They are all closely related to business, but in Lu Ning's eyes, aren't these important information?

After meeting several big shopkeepers, Lu Ning finally called You Laosan again and asked about debt collection everywhere.

Having a meal with You Wuniang and You Laosan, I didn’t say that, I just chatted about family matters.

You Laosan is now so arrogant outside, and he has raised dozens of gangs. Not only is he gang leader collecting debts, but he has also become a gang inquiry in the East China Sea, just like a secret spy. Now, after listening to his master's words, this gang inquiry will spread to Haizhou and the entire territory of Chuzhou.

There are many things to ask about. Just like in the Donghai Kingdom, when criminal unjust cases were not mentioned, it is mainly to investigate whether there are landlords, merchants, and craftsmen conceal their land, income, etc. For example, if there is a salt bank, the expenses given to employees are lower than those given to employees. In this way, the employer can pay less taxes, but the actual salary given by the salt bank is lower than that of other commercial banks in the same industry, which means that both merchants and employees can benefit from it. The Donghai Treasury is the one that bears the losses.

This salt shop was immediately severely punished.

You Laosan felt that the only drawback was that he was just asking for information, without any authority to arrest people, and everything had to be investigated by the Twelve Departments of the Public Administration, and the relevant departments of the Twelve Departments were dealt with.

If you give yourself the power to arrest and take people, you are afraid that the entire East China Sea will be the most powerful except for the master.

When Lu Ning asked about debt collection, You Laosan himself felt bored. Wang Ji, the judicial officer of Haizhou, and Cui Heng, the magistrate of Shuyang County, are now all officials under the rule of the master. Since the news that his master was the governor of the Navy in Haizhou, Wang Ji and Cui Heng have been almost dead. Originally, the master went to the extreme south, and both of them were still thinking about it. They were not as polite as before, but they did not expect that in just a few months, the good news of the master's promotion was heard, and for them, it was absolutely bad news. Since then, the two have become walking corpses. It was the time of the annual salary. Both of them obediently handed over it, and they both felt that it was meaningless to collect debts.

"Stop the official's debt first. Don't go every few days. Check it out every year. Just take a look at it. You should do the best to ask about it." Lu Ning held the teacup and said casually.

"Yes, the young man understands!" You Laosan understood that the master's identity is different now, so he naturally needs to pay attention to some influence.

Moreover, Wang Ji, Cui Heng and others, the small salary was already insignificant in front of the master.

Just say that the master came back from Jinling and brought with him a rare treasure that seemed to be able to sell for 100,000 yuan. I don’t know who he won.

"Oh, in a few days, King Baoning will come to Donghai from Jinling to visit. In recent times, you have your eyes highlighted and don't cause any trouble in the East China Sea."

"Yes, yes, I've been sleeping all these days, and I'm asking for information for my master!"

Lu Ning smiled and picked up the teacup to drink tea.

Seeing that Lu Ning stopped talking, he stood for a while, You Laosan bowed and slowly retreated.
Chapter completed!
