The group of people just watched quietly and watched the movement in the restaurant. In fact, they didn't stand there for long, because soon, a group of soldiers appeared.
Seeing the group of soldiers approaching, the hands on both sides immediately became more obedient. They listened with their hands, but their mouths did not stop, and the chirping sounds suddenly started.
"Aren't these people from Jinyiwei?" Zhu Houzhao was a little confused. The pair of soldiers were not wearing Feiyu uniforms, and he could see clearly.
"It's from the Inspection Department!" Mu Siniang replied: "These disputes are naturally handled by the Inspection Department. The Overseas Town and Prosecution Department will not take care of these matters in Tamsui City, unless the Inspection Department asks for help!"
"Penghu Inspection Department?" Zhu Houzhao tilted his head. He still remembered that there was such a yamen here, but when he thought about it, Qian Wubing had more authority. He was the master of the law in Tamsui, but he didn't expect that in Tamsui City
Here, the inspection department can still control the situation.
"Well, Inspector Liu of the Inspection Department is also an old man who participated in the Battle of Datong. He has been here in Tamsui since he retired from Datong. His ability is very good!" Rarely, talking about Inspector Liu, Mu
Siniang said a few nice words, but Liu Qingqing probably never thought that one day her name would be heard by the emperor in this way!
"Your Excellency once said that no matter where our overseas Jinyiwei Thousand Household Offices set up yamen in the future, once the local people do not object, after the Jinyiwei establishes a foothold, the inspection department and yamen will also follow, one year, two years, three years and five years.
Years, it doesn’t matter. If the locals have a good attitude towards the Ming Dynasty, let’s take it slow. If they are very resistant to the Ming Dynasty, then naturally there is no need to be polite to them. After the garrison, it will naturally have an impact on the local area. Maybe, we can take it slow.
Slowly carve out a lawless land from the local area, and we can manage our own people, laws, and taxes according to the Ming Dynasty!"
Mu Siniang tilted her head and thought for a while, "What the adults said is like... a seed!"
"Well, it's a seed. Let's sow the seed first, and then slowly wait until the seed grows up, one generation, two generations, three generations, five generations. When the seed grows into a towering tree, then, this seed comes from the Ming Dynasty
The towering tree will no longer be able to be uprooted from its place!"
Mu Siniang seemed to be mumbling in her sleep: "The adults also said that as the seeds grow slowly, people who take root in this place and watch them grow will also be affected by it. This influence is great, and slowly, they will get used to it.
Due to its existence, maybe one day, even if we want to cut down this big tree, they will cry and shout not to let us cut it down. Adults say, this is called assimilation!"
"This can be regarded as the expansion of territory!" Zhu Houzhao was dumbfounded. He had never heard such a statement before. In his imagination, the expansion of territory was as vigorous as an iron horse. Qian Wubing said so.
It's so light, it sounds like child's play.
But obviously, this is not a child's play. Qian Wubing not only said this to his subordinates, but he is also doing it.
According to Zhu Houzhao's understanding, at least up to now, the Overseas Town and Fu Division has set up several hundreds of offices overseas. And according to what Mu Siniang said, wouldn't it be necessary to ask the court to send personnel to inspect these offices next?
It is a place, even if it is not the whole place, it is a "lawless land" with an army and government. How is this different from the land of the Ming Dynasty?
Next, Mu Siniang talked a lot. Even in my impression, Mu Siniang was not a talkative person, but Zhu Houzhao had no time to take care of this. His mind was full of the words "opening up borders and expanding territory".
This word filled his mind with the sight of the Ming Dynasty’s flags no matter where they went decades later. This really gave him a passionate urge to shout loudly.
They also went to the Inspection Department and happened to see Liu Qingqing judging the case. Moreover, the perpetrator was a crew member belonging to the Sihai Fleet. They heard the sound of the criminal being beaten in the courtroom. Zhu Houzhao
I feel like my trip was really not in vain.
The Jinyiwei is still my Jinyiwei, and the Inspection Department is also my Inspection Department. What I stand on, and what I will stand on in the future, is also my land.
"General, let's see where we can go!"
After leading the people out of the inspection department, Mu Siniang asked, what Zhu Houzhao wanted to see and hear. She seemed to have guessed something, which was why she talked so much today, but next, she really didn't know what Zhu Houzhao wanted to hear.
What else to do.
"Go to Xuanweishi Si Yamen!" Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Your family lives in Xuanweishishi Si Yamen, right?"
The corners of Mu Siniang's lips curled up slightly. She had originally agreed to stay in Tamsui for a few days, but she couldn't hold it back for less than an afternoon. This should be a good thing. However, I wanted to take His Majesty around Tamsui by myself.
Someone has already reported it to you, right? Incognito. In Tamsui, who can truly be incognito? Even the emperor can't do it.
She was right. Zhu Houzhao's whereabouts could not be hidden from anyone in Tamsui, especially with her, a face that was familiar to many people. Qian Wubing received the news almost as soon as they got off the boat.
"General?" Qian Wubing was a little confused, "Water Department of Weiwei University Hall?"
"Are there many generals in the Mighty University Hall?" Wang Yue added slowly to the side, with a hint of smile in his eyebrows.
"Where's Yan Qi!" Qian Wubing was shocked. He called Yan Qi, whispered a few words in his ear, and sent him out. Soon, he got a reply from Yan Qi.
"The person beside Mu Zhenfu is His Majesty, and my subordinates can see clearly!"
Laughing dumbly, Qian Wubing finally understood the reason for Wang Yue's smile: "Why don't you grow up? Why do you come here for private visits incognito? This is not like a person who has just recovered from a serious illness!"
"I'm afraid this trip is not a private visit incognito!" Wang Yue chuckled and said: "But don't worry, it's a good thing. You don't have to worry about why he doesn't know you. Presumably, he wants to see what his inner treasure has done every year.
What does a Feng Shui treasure land that brings millions of gold and silver look like!"
"It can't be that simple!" Qian Wubing shook his head: "No matter what, now that we know it, we can't pretend not to know and send someone to pick him up. Even if His Majesty is not on the boat at the moment, we must act as if His Majesty is on the boat.
!Siniang’s contribution to the capital this time is not small, she should be rewarded for her merits, and she should be held accountable, but that’s not the case!”
While the two were still talking, they saw Yan Qi, who had just gone out, staggering in. He, who had always been steady, actually had an incredible look on his face: "Sir, sir!"
"What's wrong!"
"No need to pick up the driver!" Yan Qi blinked and swallowed hard: "Your Majesty has already entered the Yamen and is walking this way!"
