Chapter 463 [Professional follow the army, order Zhong Bin] four
Mu Linfeng didn't say much to Zhong Bin, but Mu Linfeng believed that Zhong Bin also knew the approximate reason. After giving Zhong Bin a few more instructions, he said to Zhong Bin: "Okay, I will follow the army from now on."
It’s under your command, you have to remember that from now on you will only listen to my orders, Mu Linfeng, and no one else’s orders to you will be of any use!”
Zhong Bin couldn't help but feel shuddered when he heard this. You must know that this is equivalent to the general appointed by Mu Linfeng. He has an important position with one person under his command and more than ten thousand people. It is beyond the reach of ordinary generals. Zhong Bin immediately raised his hand and said: "
Yes, Mu Shuai, the general will finally get the order!"
Mu Linfeng smiled slightly, then glanced at Zhong Bin a few more times before saying, "Bin'er, go ahead and remember my instructions. No outsiders should know about this!"
After hearing the words, Zhong Bin nodded repeatedly in agreement, then exited the study and went out to prepare for the matters Mu Linfeng told him.
After Mu Linfeng waited for Zhong Bin to leave the study, he immediately wrote a letter to Zhong Tian, asking him about the operation of the insurance company. "By the way" he also asked about Zhong Nanping's recent situation. After writing the letter, he handed it over to
He was quickly sent to Yangzhou.
With the few matters at hand settled, Mu Linfeng went to the Jinling Yamen again. He originally wanted to ask about the affairs of the Shanghai Special Economic Zone, but Wang Zhizhen was not in the Yamen. The Yamen servant said that Wang Zhizhen had not come to the Yamen today.
Mu Linfeng couldn't help but wonder that this Wang Zhizhen was always serious in his work. If there was nothing special, he would definitely come to the Yamen. Moreover, this Wang Zhizhen did not have a residence in Jinling and had always lived in the back hall of the Yamen in Jinling. He was hesitating in his heart.
Then he thought, could it be that he had been told to bring Wang Xuyuan to Jinling some time ago, so he went to do it immediately?
The more Mu Linfeng thought about it, the more he thought it was possible. At this moment, he found a document on Wang Zhideng's desk that had not been opened yet. It was obviously just delivered today. Mu Linfeng picked it up and looked at it. The seal said: "
The words "Jinling Mu Linfeng personally opens!" can't help but feel a shudder in my heart.
Mu Linfeng opened the document and took a look, only to see that it said: "Marshal Mu Linfeng Mu Taijian..." Mu Linfeng saw that the letter was indeed written to him. Before reading the content of the letter, he took a look at the signature and saw
The signature was written with the words "Li Zicheng pays his respects to the Western Army". Mu Linfeng couldn't help but feel a shudder in his heart, thinking to himself what could Li Zicheng do to him?
At this moment, Mu Linfeng thought of Hong'er, who had left a few days ago and said he had something to do with the northwest, and felt even more strange. He immediately straightened the letter paper and then continued to read the text. The letter read: "Last year, I bought a ticket with Mu Shuai.
I got a lot of firearms, but due to the alliance with the Northeast Manchu Army and the problem of capital turnover, I sold a lot of them. Now I feel that I am in short supply. I want to buy some firearms from Mu Shuai again. The price is easy to negotiate. Li has sent Li
Xin specially went to Jinling to discuss with Mu Shuai face to face. In addition to firearms, there is also the matter of an alliance between you and me. At this time, I believe Li Xin has mentioned it to Mu Shuai again before. This time the old matter is brought up again. I hope Mu Shuai will not dislike Li Xin.
Someone comes from the grass!"
There was a long paragraph of congratulations to Mu Linfeng for conquering the counties in the south of the Yangtze River. After reading the letter, Mu Linfeng put the letter away and then touched his chin and said curiously: "This letter does not mention anything about what happened in the northwest.
, and did not mention Hong'er..." Then he thought, could it be the military situation in the northwest? It's no wonder, how could Li Zicheng write to him about his military situation.
Mu Linfeng thought at this time that it was Li Xin who came to discuss firearms sales and alliance matters this time. So would Hong'er come with him this time?
Just as Mu Linfeng was thinking about it, he saw a person walking outside the door, it was Wang Zhizhen. Seeing Mu Linfeng sitting in the room, Wang Zhizhen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mu Shuai, why are you here?"
Mu Linfeng came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm worried about the construction in Shanghai. Let's see if you have any letters from Shanghai or something..."
Wang Zhizhen heard this and said quickly: "So far, I have not received a letter from Shanghai!"
Mu Linfeng heard this and thought to himself, let's see if Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu encountered any difficulties in Shanghai. Neither of them sent any news. No news is good news.
As long as the development of the Shanghai Special Economic Zone is stable and the war in the south progresses steadily, then the most important thing at the moment is to develop the economy and agriculture of the counties and counties that have been captured, and then there is the matter of forming an alliance with the Zheng family, and now
There is one more Li Zicheng from the northwest.
Mu Linfeng nodded after thinking, and then asked Wang Zhizhen: "By the way, the yamen servants said that they haven't seen you, Mr. Wang, today. Mr. Wang won't be lazy, right?"
When Wang Zhizhen saw that Mu Linfeng's face didn't look like he was joking, he was shocked and immediately stepped forward and said, "Wang has neglected his duty. Wang really had some personal matters today, so he was delayed!"
Mu Linfeng's expression did not change. When Wang Zhizhen said it was a private matter, he was even more sure that he was going to the residence or to pick up Wang Xuyuan. Then he immediately said seriously: "Oh, a private matter? This is not in line with Mr. Wang's usual style? Mr. Wang is not.
Tell me, what private matter could make Mr. Wang put aside his official duties?"
At this time, cold sweat broke out on Wang Zhizhen's forehead, and he immediately said: "A few days ago, Wang heard that Mu Shuai told Wang to build a mansion in Jinling, and also said that he would bring his sister-in-law Xu Yuan to Jinling, so Wang immediately
So we started to do it. The residence had been arranged, but Mu Shuai could rest assured that Wang had left all the matters of purchasing the residence to others, and he had not neglected his official duties at all. It was just that his sister-in-law Xu Yuan arrived today, so Wang...
…”
Mu Linfeng heard this and thought to himself: "It's true that Xu Yuan is here!" Then he laughed, stood up, patted Wang Zhizhen on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Is Xu Yuan really here?"
Wang Zhizhen sweated when he saw that Mu Linfeng had a serious face just now, but now he was extremely surprised. He didn't know that that face was Mu Linfeng's true character, but he still didn't dare to neglect, and said in a low voice: "Exactly.
!”
Seeing that Wang Zhizhen's expression was still wrong, Mu Linfeng laughed, quickly patted Wang Zhizhen on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Wang, Mu was joking with you just now, I already knew that you must have gone to pick up Xu Yuan!
"
Wang Zhizhen breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said to Mu Linfeng: "So Mu Shuai already knew that Xu Yuan was coming?"
Mu Linfeng smiled and said: "According to what I know about you, Mr. Wang, you are definitely not someone who would delay official business, unless it is a matter of family, so I guessed it!"
When Wang Zhizhen heard this, he laughed twice and said, "Let Mu Shuai laugh!"
Mu Linfeng actually has a basic understanding of Wang Zhizhen's character. He went to pick up Wang Xuyuan at this moment, not entirely for Wang Xuyuan, but for Mu Linfeng. Wang Zhizhen knew that Mu Linfeng liked Wang Xuyuan, so he always wanted to win over Mu Linfeng.
and Wang Xuyuan to achieve their own political goals.
Mu Linfeng had already seen through Wang Zhizhen's thoughts, but he did not reveal it to his face, and then smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Wang is busy first. Before Mr. Wang returns home tonight, he must come to see Mu, so that Mu can go
Congratulations to Mr. Wang on his new move!"
When Wang Zhizhen heard this, he quickly agreed with a smile. Wang Zhizhen knew very well in his heart that Mu Linfeng was just a drunkard who didn't care about the wine. He immediately smiled and said: "Originally, Wang did not intend to entertain guests. Since Mu Shuai said so, tonight Wang Zhizhen
I’m going to prepare a banquet in my humble house!”
Mu Linfeng laughed loudly after hearing this, and then except for the Jinling Mansion Office, Wang Zhizhen looked at Mu Linfeng's back and his eyes changed slightly, and then called a yamen servant outside the door and whispered a few words to the yamen servant. The yamen servant's face was full of astonishment.
, then took a look at Wang Zhizhen's face, nodded immediately and said: "Don't worry, sir, I will do it now!"
