Lu Han took a ladle of water and poured it on Guo Ning's head: "I told you, don't move!"
"Okay, don't move. Just tell me! I, the big Zhou, are just a grassroots team member. The only one who is truly reliable is you, Ahan!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Han said softly.
Guo Ning stretched out his hand to signal, but was speechless.
"Li Yun and Xu Jin each have their own way of investigating, and what happened these days is complicated and confusing... Let me start with Li Yun and draw out the first clue."
While Lu Han was washing the towel, he spoke in a very soft voice, which reassured Guo Ning as usual.
"The clues that Xu Yu threw to Li Yun focused on the expansion of the docks at Liukou and Sanchakou. This matter first originated from the busy transportation of materials during the construction period of Tianjin Prefecture. It was included in the Caoshan Division's plan last autumn, and was immediately informed by the Ministry of Works.
Approval. Most of the people working in the Ministry of Industry belong to the Xu family, and their methods of doing things are very flexible, so they directly transferred the manpower dispatching matter to Wang Kou'er, the upstart in Baodi County, Li Erlang's father-in-law."
"I do remember that."
Guo Ning said: "Nowadays, most of the horse herding matters in the army are scattered to the commander's office, the envoy department, and Wang Kou'er's group animal husbandry department. Now they are empty-handed, throwing away some old brothers who have no special talents but are hardworking."
"That's true. Wang Koo'er was born as a local businessman. After taking a job as a sinecure, he opened several brick kilns in the name of his relatives to supply various projects of Tianjin Prefecture and make some money. The wharf at Sanchakou is along the current expansion line.
Facing East Bay, the embankment is one and a half miles long, with two miles of attached carriage roads, two watchtowers, and three trestles. A total of 400,000 bricks were used. It was all done by Wang Kou'er's manpower. It took about two months and kiln workers were used to build it.
There are many masons and carpenters, and the more ordinary laborers the better.”
Tianjin Prefecture is connected to rivers, seas, and Dayi, so it is a treasure land. The only disadvantage is that the terrain is low and humid, and construction made of wood and stone is easily damaged. Therefore, large-scale construction projects must use a large amount of stone if there is insufficient supply.
brick.
Brick-making is not a sophisticated technology. It is nothing more than mining clay, making brick embryos, and then drying and firing them. The only way to produce enough and quickly is to increase the number of manpower.
"Wang Kou'er doesn't have that many people," Guo Ning said.
Lu Han nodded: "But he has connections."
"He is Li Erlang's father-in-law, and he is respected everywhere. In his early years, he raised horses for the army. He was very popular and recognized by everyone. So this time he first found Shi Qing, the defense envoy of Tongzhou, and borrowed Shi Qing's help.
Thanks to the relationship, I contacted Xia Quan and Shi Gui from Shandong."
"Xia Quan and Shi Gui fought with Li Erlang in Shandong, and they were not acquainted. They were well-known and skilled in the East and West Road of Shandong. They had their own large manors to attract guests, and they were also happy to find some leisure time for the villagers.
It was an opportunity to make extra money. Now the two of them gathered the people and asked their close relatives to take them north."
"It turns out they are from Xia Quan and Shi Gui..." Guo Ning murmured to himself: "Could it be Xia Quan and Shi Gui? They don't have such thoughts, it's impossible!"
"Xia Quan and Shi Gui were just the reason for gathering the people, not their superiors. But after the people arrived in Tianjin, they were jealous of the treatment of the local craftsmen and made troubles several times in a row, so that the project that was originally planned was disrupted again and again.
Delay... By the time you went out on patrol, Wang Kou'er felt that if you delayed it any longer, he was afraid something would happen, and he was even more afraid that he would be implicated. So he went to Hu Zhonggui and asked him to step in as a patrol inspector, make a fool of himself, and punish him severely.
The first few people."
"Hu Zhonggui didn't learn Li Erlang's cunning, he only learned the ferocity. Once he intervenes, he only knows how to kill people and beat him... Hum, let's investigate the matter of wanton killing later. He doesn't want to give any clues.
I saw it!"
Guo Ning cursed a few words and asked: "Citizens travel thousands of miles just for wealth, not to sacrifice their lives. Seeing people die, and there are others in the team to instigate it, it will naturally become more chaotic?"
"There are indeed people in the team who are instigating. Wang Kou'er is confused, but since Li Yun started to investigate, he must have known it by now."
Guo Ning listened carefully, and sure enough at the same time, the sound of the cavalry running across the ground boomed again.
"He has gone back to Sanchakou again..."
Guo Ning pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that the person behind the instigation in the team is not in Tianjin Mansion. Li Yun wants to take down those minions who are doing things first. Hey, I'm curious now. Can
Encouraging everyone to focus their grievances on inspections can transfer the suspicion of the outside world to two people close to Li Ting. He can also withstand pressure from all sides and delay the project for several months, even blocking grain transportation.
But it doesn’t intensify the situation so much that the garrison comes forward... It’s so detailed that it’s not something ordinary people can do, it must be a good hand! How can such a good hand be found casually?”
When Guo Ning first started his army, he could know almost every soldier under his command and every official under his command. Later, he became a hero and could point out the capable civil and military subordinates one by one when he patrolled the military and political affairs in various places.
As the size of the army continues to grow, no matter how hard he tries to get familiar with it, there is always a limit to a person's energy. What's more, the circle of nobles and military households associated with the army has expanded abnormally. But he can be sure that someone with such abilities can
Yes, he must have established a name in the turmoil of the past few years, and he cannot be an unknown person.
"He is indeed a good player, and he is indeed an unusual little guy. You praised him in the early years in Jinan. They are all alert. I estimate that Li Yun may be able to catch some clues by running to Sanchakou now, but he has
If there are no people, they must have escaped early."
When Lu Han said this, he felt that the water in the bathtub did not iron the skin as much as before, so he went to the cubicle and brought a bucket of hot water, and slowly poured it into the bathtub with a ladle.
However, the temperature in the room has always been warm, which shows that the iron heater that snakes along the corner of the room is very effective. This kind of heater has only become popular this year. It is made of fine iron and is made into a sealed tube. The tube is filled with water and is heated in a special room next door.
Inside, charcoal fire or coal is burned to heat the water in the pipes, which is used to circulate heat for heating.
Several trading houses with official background from the Great Zhou Dynasty are promoting this thing as a good product. It is said that this year's cold wave is extremely cold, and the business of the heater must be very good.
In the blink of an eye as Lu Han came in and out, Guo Ning thought of who she was talking about.
Guo Ning sank deeper into the water and said slowly: "...It's Xu Wende, and Guo Zheng, right?"
"Exactly. Rokuro, your memory has always been very good."
Guo Ning patted his forehead: "Back then, the Mongolian soldiers retreated and gathered in Jinan Water Village. They then deceived Yin Chang's two men by singing, chanting, and fighting, and later became Yin Chang's confidants. These two people were low-key officials.
He has no reputation, so he can follow the people northward, and they have the ability to disturb people's hearts. By the way, last year when we went to Shandong, you said that you couldn't write two characters "Guo" in one stroke, and you privately thought that Guo Zheng was a relative of yours...
"
Guo Ning couldn't help but laugh: "No wonder, what are you asking about? Guo Zheng won't hide it from you."
After laughing twice, Guo Ning couldn't help but pat the water and turned into a bitter smile: "Since these two people are secretly manipulating it, Yin Chang behind them is definitely involved. Li Yun is worried that our Marshal Guanzhong is involved,
Now the Marshal of Guanzhong has been left aside, but the deputy Nanjing deputy has been dragged in again!"
"I'm afraid the Nanjing Deputy Liubei is not the only one involved."
"Who else?"
"Before they were adopted as confidants by Yin Chang, Xu Wende and Guo Zheng worked for Yan Shi and had an irreversible relationship with each other."
"Is the Nanjing Road Transfer Envoy also involved?"
"Xu and Guo did not receive any instructions from Yan Shi for their trip. But according to Guo Zheng, Yan Shi must have known about it."
"Haha, haha." Guo Ning smiled and shook his head.
After a while, he asked Lu Han: "Is there no one else on the line that Li Yun is holding? If there is anyone else, I will feel aggrieved."
"There is no one else on this thread, but Xu Jin still has more threads in his hands."
"Even if Lao Xu is in the Recording Department, he doesn't offend people easily. He just hopes that Li Yun will be irritable and cause trouble to cover his private actions."
"You are on an expedition this time. There are many strange things in both the government and the public. If you check every line carefully, you will find a long explanation. Xu Jin is generally doing things properly."
Guo Ning waved his hands repeatedly: "Ahan, you might as well tell me directly, who are the people jumping online?"
"For the specific names, you will read what I wrote later. Now I know for sure that there are fourteen people with positions above the fifth rank to the third rank, who hold real power in the DPRK or the southern border. After Xu Jin inquired,
We can find out more.”
"Are they colluding? Why? Do they want to rebel?"
"It's not like they deliberately colluded, and no one wants to rebel. However, their ideas are different from you and the generals of the three northern recruiting divisions. In their eyes, you have been paying attention to the grassland for too long, and you have invested too much time in it.
There are too many resources; and what the court should really do is to march south and conquer the Song Dynasty."
