After a grand ceremony to establish the crown prince, King Qin officially entered the East Palace and became the crown prince of the Yunchui Empire.
Guangxin County.
Ren Ning read the message expressionlessly and then ignored it.
"Old Ren," Lei Er, who was standing next to him, rubbed his hands, "It's getting warm in the north. When will we set off back to camp?"
"Don't worry." Ren Ning laughed, "Then let's do it tomorrow."
"Okay." Lei Er was so happy that he almost grinned and went home happily to prepare.
There are many mundane matters in the General's Mansion, but Ren Ning has already made various explanations in the past few days, and now he feels peaceful.
The next day, the family had a peaceful breakfast.
Ren Ning hugged the two women hard, kissed his son again, and then got on his horse and left with Lei Er.
The two quickly left Nanshu City.
Lei Er looked back at the new city wall that had been roughly completed, threw a broad bean into his mouth, and started chewing it.
"Old Ren, where are we going now?"
There are now a large number of transport ships at Zhennanguan carrying rubber heading north. If they don't want to ride horses, they can go with the ships.
It can be said to save worry and effort.
However, Ren Ning raised his hand and pointed, "Let's go north and wait until we get to the Xinglan Grand Canal."
There is a large amount of food from Zhenguogongfu, Taishifu and Xingluo County, ready to be sent to the Baekje Peninsula.
Ren Ning has to go take a look.
Lei Er didn't have any objections, so he drove off and the two of them galloped away to the north.
Two days later, just after leaving Baihua County, we were greeted by a long caravan.
The caravan's logo looks very familiar, it is a big "ancient" character.
"Old Ren, this is the Gu family caravan."
Ren Ning laughed loudly, "I saw it earlier, the leader is Tieshu."
Tieshu was surprised and happy, and hurriedly came forward to greet him.
"I've met General Ren and Brother Lei. Are you planning to head north and return to camp?"
Before he went to the battlefield, he was an ordinary citizen and was somewhat afraid of the power in the hands of generals.
It wasn't until he fought a battle with the northern garrison in Huayang County that Tieshu gradually understood what kind of life Ren Ning was really leading behind the scenes of these military generals with numerous military exploits.
Then the fear in my heart slowly turned into respect.
Ren Ning nodded, "Thank you for your hard work. You guys walked pretty fast. Did you encounter any trouble on the way?"
Tieshu understood what he meant and shook his head quickly.
"Back to the general, the post roads in various places have been well maintained in recent years. Except for some landslides in a few small places along the way south, the rest of the road can be said to be smooth."
After a pause, he couldn't help but remind him.
"General Ren, I heard that there may be some trouble in Hanoi County. If possible, I suggest you to take a detour."
Ren Ning and Lei Er looked at each other, both of them a little startled.
Hanoi County is located in the middle of Van Thuy, adjacent to the Xinglan Grand Canal in the north. It can be said to be the transportation hub of the entire Van Thuy, so there must be no problems.
"What's going on?" Ren Ning asked.
Tieshu spread his hands.
"Actually, I don't quite know what happened. Our caravan left early and didn't notice anything unusual. I heard from other brother caravans that when they passed through Hanoi County, they could see officers and soldiers standing ready in every city they went to, and they seemed to be searching
What are you wearing?"
Speaking of this, he suddenly lowered his voice.
"General, later I heard that many places in Hanoi County are the fiefdoms of His Highness King Qi."
Tieshu's words are concise and to the point.
Ren Ning understood.
The three of them chatted a little more about their respective situations, and soon waved goodbye and continued on their own journey.
Lei Er muttered disdainfully as he rushed to the roadside.
"Old Ren, King Qin, is the prince now. He must be too petty. He squeezes King Qi's financial resources as soon as he has some power. I'm afraid there will be a fight between the two of them in the future."
Ren Ning said nothing and just smiled coldly.
Money is a good thing, it can buy people's hearts and expand their power.
It can be said that everyone from the emperor to the common people had to work hard for it.
In addition to the support of the mother clan, the financial sources of princes or princes almost all come from their own fiefdoms.
Hanoi County is located in the middle of the clouds, and the roads in the county connect the east, west, north and south.
It can be said that almost all caravans will pass by here, and the annual city entry tax is not a small amount.
By sealing the road, the King of Qi lost a large amount of cross-city tax for caravans and pedestrians.
The prince's move cannot be described as unhappiness.
"Let's go." Ren Ning felt a little heavy.
The two continued to ride north.
Half a month later, when the two arrived in Hanoi County, they were stopped by someone.
When the other party saw Zhui Feng and Ben Lei, two majestic horses, they knew they couldn't afford to offend them, so their tone became much gentler.
"Who are you two and where are you going?"
He didn't wait for Ren and Ning to answer, raised his hand and threw it back.
"Serious cases of theft and murder occurred in the previous counties. The Ministry of Punishment has sent people down to investigate strictly. If you two go further north, I'm afraid you will get into lawsuits and hinder your trip."
"How about you two change directions, such as bypassing Hanoi County and heading north?"
Ren Ning's lips twitched.
He didn't waste any time and directly revealed his identity.
"Starfall Legion's forward deputy general, Ren Ning! Who is your chief officer? Let him come over!"
The other party was shocked, and after careful identification, he quickly ran away.
After a while, officials who were sweating profusely came forward with nods and bows.
"General Ren, the young Minister of the Criminal Department is waiting for Wang Xiuxian. I don't know that the general is passing by. It's really a mistake to welcome him from a distance, and a mistake to welcome him from afar."
Ren Ning didn't reply at all, just looked at him coldly.
"Wang Xiuxian? You are so brave. Do you know what time it is? You actually dare to block the post road without authorization."
"General Ren's words are serious."
As an official of the Ministry of Punishment, Wang Xiuxian was not afraid of Ren Ning. He shook his head quickly.
"I don't have the guts to block the post road without permission. It's just that there have been many major cases in Hanoi County recently, which made the minister angry. The Ministry of Punishment temporarily closed the city gate in order to hunt down the criminals."
"You bastard," Lei Er slapped him with his backhand without any politeness, "How dare you talk nonsense."
The huge saber-like door panel was slapped directly on Wang Xiuxian's face. He was knocked around several times on the spot and then fell to the ground with a bang.
"you you……"
Wang Xiuxian, as the assistant minister of the Criminal Department, is nothing in Xingji City, but in Hanoi County, he is very powerful.
At this time, it was unexpected that someone dared to beat him. For a while, he covered his face and covered the ground. You couldn't speak in your mouth.
After a while, he got up, his face was as angry as pig liver, and he pointed at Lei Er with a trembling hand.
"General Ren, you saw it."
"I am carrying out official duties of the Ministry of Punishment, and your bodyguards dare to attack me. If you don't give me an explanation, I will definitely report it to Lord Shangshu and punish him with death."
hey-hey.
Lei Er twitched the corner of his mouth in disdain, without even looking at Wang Xiuxian who was furious.
He directly took out a few broad beans, threw them into his mouth and started chewing them.
"Really?" Ren Ning narrowed his eyes dangerously.
"You are just a waiter at the head of the criminal department. You know the law and break it."
"Huayang County is in danger, and Japanese pirates can land in Yunchui at any time. The Yunchui calendar stipulates that the officers and soldiers who protect the country during wartime have the greatest authority, and everything is centered on driving away foreign enemies."
"The Hanoi County under our feet is located in the middle of Yunchui, and it is responsible for the transportation of strategic materials from all directions in the southeast, northwest and northwest of the country. How dare you block the post roads, delay or even block support for the front line from various places."
"I have every reason to suspect that you are colluding with foreign enemies and doing it deliberately. Let alone slap you, it would be an exaggeration to chop you in public."
I wrote the wrong chapter number in the previous chapters, jumping from chapter 523 to chapter 534.
