After returning from the Yamen, Jiang Fan had dinner and then asked Zhou Miaoxuan to work overtime.
Don't get me wrong, Jiang Fan just asked Zhou Miaoxuan to translate the "Encyclopedia". Recently, Jiang Fan was too lazy to write, so he started dictating it, and then asked Zhou Miaoxuan to write it.
Among them, agriculture, mechanical engineering, geography, environment, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and education are the main fields.
After all, the content of the "Encyclopedia" is too extensive, and transcribing it completely would take a lot of time and cannot be applied in a short time.
Zhou Miaoxuan happily accepted this job.
Zhou Miaoxuan felt sad for a while after learning that King Xin Zhu Youjian had died, but he was not desperate for it.
After all, King Xin has taken her in front of him, and now people die like lights out, and the future and the past are like passing clouds. She wants to live for herself, instead of becoming a vassal of others.
She believes that as long as she can complete this task, she will definitely shine in the future.
Therefore, Zhou Miaoxuan was immersed in the ocean of knowledge all day long and enjoyed it.
Jiang Fan put away the "Encyclopedia" and said: "That's it for today. Your father's case has been overturned. Now you and Miaotong are free. When the book is copied, you can decide for yourself whether you want to stay or go.
"
When Zhou Miaoxuan heard this, he nodded: "Thank you very much, sir."
"You're welcome. If you do things for me, I won't treat you badly. Record the content in the book well. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me. This is a major matter that benefits the country and the people. Your talents are not inferior to those of men. In the future,
There must be something accomplished.”
Jiang Fan would have to leave sooner or later. Fame, fortune, splendor and wealth had no appeal to him.
What I am doing now is simply to do my best to prevent the Chinese people in this world from being oppressed by foreign powers again.
"Young Master has both talent and virtue, as well as profound knowledge. Miao Xuan will never forget the kindness of this teaching."
Zhou Miaoxuan looked at Jiang Fan with admiration, with admiration and gratitude in his eyes.
Jiang Fan smiled slightly and stopped talking.
At this time, Zhou Miaotong came over with ginseng tea: "Sir, sister, I just made ginseng tea to refresh you."
Jiang Fan took the tea cup, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I have a lot of things to do these days. It's getting late now, so you should go to bed early."
"Then Miaotong and I will leave first, and you, sir, should rest early."
After speaking, the two of them said goodbye and left.
When the two of them left the room, Zhou Miaoxuan took the copied manuscript and whispered: "The Ming Dynasty is really lucky to have such a talented person as Mr. Jiang!"
Zhou Miaotong smiled and said: "It's a blessing for us to meet Mr. Jiang!"
Zhou Miaoxuan did not deny this.
If it weren't for Jiang Fan, the sisters would have died long ago. They are indeed extremely lucky to be able to live safely and without worries, but it's a pity...
...
the next day.
Jiang Fan came to Beizhen Fusi and went to work as usual. Jiang Fan mostly left Jinyiwei's official affairs to Lu Wenzhao and others.
As long as it's not something particularly difficult to deal with, Jiang Fan doesn't need to worry about it at all.
With nothing to do, Jiang Fan planned to practice using Qi to control objects, but at this moment, Lu Wenzhao's urgent voice came.
"Your Majesty, Commander, something happened in Liaodong, and the Emperor has called you into the palace to discuss countermeasures."

Hearing the news, Jiang Fan's heart skipped a beat: "Has Hou Jin already started taking action?"
He immediately stood up, left the Yamen, and rode towards the palace.
Originally, there was no need for the Jin Yiwei commander to worry about the border war, but Jiang Fan left a deep impression on Zhu Youxiao. He knew that Jiang Fan was quite capable, so he summoned Jiang Fan for discussion.
After meeting, Zhu Youxiao exchanged a few words and then went straight to the topic.
Wei Zhongxian spoke on his behalf: "According to the news coming from the border, more than ten days ago, news spread that the emperor had a dragon body, which caused the Liaodong army to be unsettled and the slaves took the opportunity to cause chaos."
"Our spies in the East Factory investigated and reported that Huang Taiji, the leader of the slave establishment, had been in office for less than a year. He worked hard to carry out drastic reforms and strengthen centralization of power."
"Conquer North Korea and Monan Mongolia first to relieve our worries."
"Later, he adopted the Han people's suggestion of demoting officials, established the strategy of peacemaking with the Ming Dynasty and self-consolidation, reused Han generals, weakened the strength of our dynasty, and aimed to enter the pass."
"Now this thief and the regent Dorgon have gathered an army of 200,000 and divided their forces to attack the Liaodong defense line. They are determined to destroy our Ming Dynasty..."
Wei Zhongxian recounted the information he controlled.
It has to be said that Dongchang's intelligence network is still very powerful. Thirty-six towns and one hundred and eight docks are all managed by senior eunuchs.
There are more than 7,000 spies, eyes and ears, killers and undercover agents all over the country, both inside and outside the imperial court.
Mainly responsible for collecting intelligence from various places and collecting letters from Ming Dynasty officials and various documents and files.
Even if the vassal king who is far away at the border is sleeping with that woman at night, Dongchang can find out if he wants to know.
Later Jin planted many spies in the Ming Dynasty and instigated many officials and businessmen to become traitors and lackeys.
Some secret agents from Dongchang also infiltrated into Houjin, snooped on news, and passed on important intelligence.
Jiang Fan thought for a moment. In terms of national strength, the Ming Dynasty actually defeated the Hou Jin Dynasty today. However, the Ming Dynasty suffered successive disasters, civil unrest continued, serious internal strife, and the inaction of many officials, which led to the decline of the Ming Dynasty.
If not, it would not be the turn of a mere two million people to be arrogant in front of the Ming Dynasty, which has a population of fifty to sixty million.
"With the Liaodong cavalry, Hou Jin can't overcome it, but Hou Jin's ambition is a hidden danger after all. I ask for orders to go to Liaodong to help in the battle. I will behead Huang Taiji and drive out the slaves."
Jiang Fan was about to complete the third main mission, and everyone planned to destroy Hou Jin.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "I am very pleased that Jiang Aiqing has this intention. I wonder what Jiang Aiqing has in mind and how long it will take to expel the Jian slaves and regain Liaodong."
"I plan to implement the blitzkrieg and beheading plan. If it goes well, Liaodong will be pacified within three months."
He is not a person like Zhu Youjian who doesn't like to talk too much.
When Yuan Chonghuan said that the Liao Dynasty could be leveled in five years, Zhu Youxiao knew that Yuan Chonghuan was bragging.
Although Zhu Youxiao's education level is indeed not high, his political awareness is far from that of others, he also knows some military skills, and he pays a lot of attention to the situation in Liaodong.
The five-year Ping Liao period was a joke to Zhu Youxiao, so he later idled Yuan Chonghuan and asked Mao Wenlong to guard the border.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao's decision was correct.
It is undeniable that Yuan Chonghuan did have certain military talents, but he did not see the situation in Liaodong as thoroughly as Zhu Youxiao.
This is also the reason why Yuan Chonghuan later boasted about Haikou, but ended up being executed by Lingchi.
As a result, as soon as Jiang Fan opened his mouth, Liaodong was pacified in March, and Zhu Youxiao would naturally become suspicious.
