When Zhu Zaiyuan was sixteen years old, they came to the Ming Dynasty. It has been five or six years since then. Zhu Zaiyuan, who is very lonely outside the palace, can almost be said to be dependent on each other for life, and their relationship with each other is extremely deep.

They love and respect Zhu Zaiyuan, and in addition to treating him as a man, they also regard him as their masters and are loyal. For them who are ninja cultivation, killing people from childhood and adulthood is common. Who has no life under their command?

They seem to be charming and weak, but this side is only shown in front of Zhu Zaiyuan. In fact, they are cruel and ruthless, and killing someone is no problem at all.

Wanrong gave up the account, Fang Zhong quickly came up and asked, "This general, I wonder how His Highness King Liang made a decision?"

Wanrong said: "My king has seen all the evidence. The evidence is conclusive and not forged. My king is extremely indignant and is ready to rush to the capital and report it to the emperor at night. However, this matter is not easy. It still needs some preparation. My king is planning. Please follow me and you need to give me some advice to you so that there will be no mistakes in the time."

Fang Zhong nodded when he heard what she said, "It should be like this."

Wanrong took him out of the camp. It was already the middle of the night. The soldiers on duty were really hard because of the heavy rain. And judging from this situation, there was no danger. These imperial soldiers from the twenty-six guards were all elite soldiers selected by the country. Those who could be sent to protect King Liang were even more elite among the elites. Naturally, they were not inferior to Lian Zining's Dragon Lancer Cavalry, but their ability to endure hardships was far inferior.

So Wanrong easily took Fang Zhong out of the camp and came to the turbulent river.

Fang Zhong looked around and was a little surprised, so he turned around and asked, "General, why do you want..."

Then the next moment, he felt a coldness on his neck, and the remaining half of the sentence was blocked in his chest. He wanted to open his mouth and shout, but found that he could not make any sound at all. He felt that he seemed to fly up. Then, his head was filled with fear, because he found that he had actually seen a headless corpse, slowly falling down.

"Why does this corpse look so familiar?"

This is the last thought in Fang Zhong's mind in this life.

It turned out that Wanrong's fierce sword behind him cut off his neck and flew out slanted.

His head fell down obliquely, splashing mud and water all over the ground, and a flash of lightning flashed across. Wanrong saw the wide open eyes in Fangzhong, full of confusion and anger. Almost at the same time, the headless corpse also slammed heavily on the ground.

She flipped through the air with a long sword. Soon, the blood on it was washed away by the rain. Wanrong took a deep breath, her eyes full of sternity.

She suddenly moved, and the long sword slashed rapidly in the air, blood and flesh splattered. When she stopped, the head was almost cut into pieces, and the flesh on her face was about to be cut off. The thick white bones were exposed, which looked hideous and terrifying. In this way, under the technology of this era, it was almost impossible to distinguish the identity of this person before his life.

Next, she stripped off the clothes of the corpse in Fangzhong and chopped them all over, then bent down and threw the pieces of the corpse into the river.

During this process, her hands were very stable and her face remained unchanged. She obviously had no sense of guilt at all. Even when she reached out to catch the dirty corpses and even internal organs, her face did not show the disgust that women often had, and she was so calm that she was scary.

This river is a tributary of the Gu River, and the Gu River flows into Chao River. Chao River is located in Beitang, the south of Liangcheng, that is, Dagukou, and it goes to the sea a little bit north. At this moment, the entire northern part of Northern Zhili is covered by heavy rain. The water level generally rises and the flow speed is accelerated. By dawn, I don’t know how far I have drifted with the flow, and maybe I will be washed into the sea.

Moreover, the corpse has been chopped into dozens of pieces, and it is impossible to collect it completely. If it takes ten thousand steps back, even if it is completely collected, it is impossible to restore its appearance during its lifetime.

The heavy rain fell, and this place was a slope on the river bank. In a few moments, the blood and flesh on the ground were washed away without any trace.

From then on, there is no such person in the world.

This evaporates in the world.

————————————————————

Lian Zining didn't know that a major crisis about him had quietly turned over and turned over, and became another more confusing turning point.

He is busy now.

The new guards have been formed and they are all set off. Before each guard commander leaves, even Zining will invite the senior officers of the guard to show their hearts and give them face-to-face instructions, which can be regarded as contacting each other.

Such means are not redundant. For those who are superiors like Lian Zining, it is just a meal. For those generals who are about to lead their army north to Songjiang, go deep into the rich wilderness to reclaim land, build cities, settle the people, and even take root, it is a great favor and comfort to have a meal with him before leaving.

This is also an important means to win people's hearts.

All major events in both military and political aspects are silent but are proceeding in an orderly manner.

On the side of the army, the Wuyi Army expanded in size, and each army performed its own duties. The new guards went to Jiangbei to station in military farms. After returning, the main combat troops were greatly supplemented by the lost soldiers, and their combat effectiveness was restored. They practiced day and night on the field of the university, increasing the tacit understanding between the soldiers and their skillful control of weapons.

In terms of politics, the Wuyi Army General Office of the Government Affairs Office has selected dozens of outstanding civil servants, and each of the new guards has assigned such civil servants. These people are the county magistrates who will be established for the upcoming new garrisons.

Hundreds of thousands of untouchables, seventy thousand troops, nine hundred miles of land, forty county seats.

This is the new territory that Wu Yijun built with his own strength.

For the Wuyi Army, the number of civil servants is too scarce. The northeastern territory has a poor literary style - it is impossible to be very prosperous. The thousands of miles of fertile land here were paradises for Jurchens and ethnic minorities. It would be great if they could recognize two words, and they still hoped that they were so knowledgeable about culture and etiquette. The Han people had just moved here on a large scale for decades. Although the place was large, there were few people and a small population base, so it was naturally impossible to be a humanistic holy land. The cultural abyss. In recent years, none of the Jinshi had ever been there, and even a few Juren were not from Songhua River. They were all concentrated in areas closer to the south.

Therefore, even if the Wuyi Army has gathered almost all scholars in the jurisdiction who are still somewhat politically capable, it feels quite difficult. Moreover, these upcoming county magistrates still have extremely high requirements, and they are definitely not just a few scholars who have studied for a few days. Instead, they require a lot of work experience and good at dealing with the people, and at least they can become an official for one or two years.

It was like the Ming Dynasty in Guan. The Jinshi who had been studying hard for ten years, knew nothing but the word, and could not even distinguish the grains, directly appointed the local officials to serve as officials. Lian Zining was very disdainful of this. If he threw down such people, it would be a disaster to the country and the people. Those who were capable and ambition did not understand, so he only followed his own thoughts, which was a bad thing, let alone those who had no ambitions, and they were blinded by the smooth officials below.

Originally, there were dozens of people to manage a county - just like the Ming Dynasty. Although a county was registered with the Ministry of Personnel, only the county magistrate, county magistrate, and lord Bo were the official employees of the state, but the sixth house magistrate, yamen runners and heads were under it, and there were many people, and these were not organized.

Even Zining had no choice. There were few officials and children, so they could only send one county magistrate to each county. Let’s solve the rest after going there! With the creative ability of the Chinese people, they can always come up with solutions. Besides, this county is not big, but only more than ten thousand people. It is roughly the same as a county in the early Western Han Dynasty, and it is even more incomplete. Everything is relatively simple.

In short, all of them were sent out. These people, soldiers and officials would take root in the northern land, slowly open up the wilderness, and eventually become a large granary with abundant resources.

When it comes to food, I have to mention it. Wu Yijun, a new group at the peak of his life, has made everyone see his high efficiency. Major events such as selling food involve a large amount of money transactions, inspection and shipment, review and other procedures, which must be very cumbersome. If it were other countries, from the merchants to arrive here, reaching an agreement, loading and transporting, and finally starting to travel south, it would be a quick solution in a month.

In fact, the merchants were also ready to spend a considerable amount of time here. But what they didn't expect was that the efficiency of the Wuyi army was really too high. Lian Zining signed an agreement with them Chapter 539, but because the quantity was too large, it was still very troublesome to make it. It took three days to move all the corn out of the warehouse and transport it to the designated location. They were all neatly placed according to the quantity bought by each merchant. They were just waiting for each to receive and load the car.

The merchants were flattered by this treatment, but out of caution, they still proposed to check the goods. They thought Hong Chaoji would be furious, but they did not expect that Lord Hong waved his hand with a smile and signaled them to do whatever they wanted.

The merchants randomly selected them and opened the sack. They found that they were indeed full of corn and were not mixed.

After so many days, many smaller caravans have already loaded up and set off south.

And when the merchants started to catch the evildoers, Qi Zhao also came.

When the Ministry of Revenue, Wailang, who was ordered by the imperial court to escort 300,000 untouchables to the northeast, arrived at the Zhenyuan Prefecture City, there was only one commander left. The 300,000 untouchables were directly picked up by the recruits who came one after another, and then led the north across the Songhua River. Because he had to deal with the continuous recruits, the team's speed slowed down a lot later. Finally, he walked from the more than 200 miles of Wuzhekuiyeki to Zhenyuan Prefecture for seven or eight days.

It was just that the light chariot arrived at Zhenyuan Mansion from two or three people.

Qi Zhao originally thought that his official position was just a fifth-rank civil servant, and he was really full of everything in front of Wu Yi Bo. Moreover, the refugees in his hands are now scattered, which can be said to be of no use value. Wu Yi Bo must not pay much attention to it. He could not say that he could send a low-ranking officer to greet him, which would be very considerate.

However, he unexpectedly was shocked when he came to the south gate of Zhenyuan Mansion.

From the merchants who were constantly moving south, Qi Zhao had already learned about the majesty of Zhenyuan Mansion. After seeing Zhenyuan Mansion, he only admired and amazeed him, but would not be surprised by this. What surprised him was the man.

On the left side of the city gate, dozens of strong knights wearing rotten silver plate armor and big red cloaks surrounded a young man in brocade clothes and jade crowns, waiting there, while the young man was looking at him with a smile.

Last year, Qi Zhao and Lian Zining had a deal with each other, so they were naturally very impressed by this upstart of the country who was rising rapidly like a meteor. They naturally recognized it at a glance. This young man was Wu Yibo.

When Qi Zhao was stunned, Lian Zining was already rushing forward, and smiled and bowed, "Mr. Qi, I have come thousands of miles away. I am in a position to welcome you. I am in a rude way!"

Qi Zhao was flattered, and now he didn't care about the humbleness of civil servants and military officials. He would say that civil servants would not kneel down to the military officers. He quickly jumped off the horse and kowtowed respectfully: "The lower official Qi Zhao had seen his uncle, and he personally welcomed him out of the city. The lower official was already flattered. How could he dare to blame him?"

Lian Zining jumped off the horse and helped Qi Zhao up with both hands. He laughed and said, "Sir Qi, you and I have had a relationship in the capital, and I have also drunk wine together in Sihailou. Why do you need to be so rude?"

Qi Zhao was grateful and thought that although Wu Yibo became famous at a young age, he was very gentle and polite, without any arrogance and indulgence. Compared with him, the noble children in the capital were really like pigs and dogs. Not worth mentioning!

Lian Zining said again: "What's more, Lord Qi, you personally escort 300,000 untouchables to the Northeast. It's a great achievement. My northeast is vast and sparsely populated, so I'm waiting for these people! If you want to thank you, it's up to me to thank you."

After hearing Lian Zining's words, Qi Zhao felt even more comfortable and as if he was soaked in warm water. He quickly smiled and said, "My uncle is so serious. The lower-ranking official escorts the untouchables. It was because the former uncle and the Ministry of Revenue had an agreement, and the lower-ranking official did it. It was just a part of his duties. He would never dare to be greedy for the achievements of heaven."

Lian Zining waved his hand: "No matter what, it's always your credit! Come on, don't talk here. Go into the city. I have already set up a banquet in the mansion. I'm waiting for you to arrive by Lord Qi!"

Qi Zhao quickly said he didn't dare. The two gave in to each other and entered the city. Soon, they arrived at the general's mansion.

The two entered the mansion and came to a greenhouse in the front yard. Sure enough, the table inside was already set, and several maids were standing there waiting.

Lian Zining went to the main seat to sit down, but saw Qi Zhao standing still with some restraint. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Come on, Lord Qi, please sit down, why bother to be detained?"

Qi Zhao sat down half of his butt next to the stool.

Before coming here, he was looking forward to Lian Zining's courtesy to him. He was still a little depressed when he thought about the possible cold treatment. At this time, when he sat face to face with Lian Zining, he felt that being treated too politely by Wu Yibo was also a very hard job. The young man opposite sat there with a faint smile, gentle and elegant, just like his life in the Ming Dynasty, literary and elegant, humble and gentle.

He didn't act on purpose, but the momentum he exuded was like a huge cliff and mountain, which made people feel stagnant when they saw it. In front of him, he felt like he couldn't breathe.

This shocked Qi Zhao and was also very surprised. Even in the cabinet chief and the higher-ranking officials in the capital, he had never felt this way. He had a change in his heart and could only attribute it to Wu Yibo's long-term battles on the battlefield.

Lian Zining waved his hand: "Select the food!"

The maids responded one after another and continued to salute. After a while, they entered one after another, each holding a lacquer tray with exquisite dishes on it.

Soon, the table was filled with eight dishes in total. The leading maid placed eight dishes on the table as a plum blossom, took out a bottle that was green like jade and placed on the table, and took out two small wine cups that were so good that the rain was blue in the sky made in Jingdezhen.

Qi Zhao looked at him and was secretly shocked.

He has been an official in Beijing for a long time and is a minister in the key department of the Ministry of Revenue. This is a big fat man. Even if he does not deliberately embezzle, the filial piety of officials from all over the country is constantly sent. I don’t know how many Bing Jingtan Gong is, so he is naturally rich. He is also a regular customer of major restaurants and restaurants in the capital, and he is also a gourmet diner. You can see the particularity at a glance.

These eight dishes, Noin ham, stir-fried sausage, dried silverfish, winter bamboo shoots, fish heads, and vegetarian stir-fried pine mushrooms... are all the flavors in the southwest, all of which are dry, fresh, salty and spicy.

The flavor is nothing, the food is important.

For example, Nanuden ham is based on the pig hind legs of the wild wild boars in the deep mountains of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. Only the wild beasts in the forest, rather than domestic livestock, can have such a taste and the meat be strong enough. And at least it has to be marinated for three years before it can be completely tasted. Even if it is short for a day, it is not too hot.

Not to mention other things, this pine nut alone, also known as pine mushroom, is a precious edible fungus. Fresh pine nuts are umbrella-shaped, with bright color, brown caps and white stalks, all with fibrous hair scales. The flesh is white, tender and thick, with a fine texture, and a strong special aroma. Tang Shenwei of the Song Dynasty wrote "Medical, Historical and Certified Materia Medica" that the fungus under the pine forest is like the pine antler-shaped pine nut, the main production area is in the Hengduan Mountains in western Sichuan. Its flavor is unique, the taste is smooth and elastic, and the fragrance is full of the mouth after eating, and the fresh fragrance is unique.

This thing is very famous in later generations. In Europe and Japan, the sauerkum has been a mountain delicacy since ancient times. In ancient times, Japan also regarded sauerkum as one of the tributes offered by the people to nobles and royal relatives. Naturally, the Chinese who like to eat the most will not miss it. At this time, this is the signature dish of several major restaurants in the capital. In each of the high-ranking houses, there are always a few chefs who are very good at dealing with sauerkum, whether it is fried or stewed.

Its origin is only western Sichuan, which is near the famous Lijiang in later generations. Because it is only one place. It is far away from the Central Plains, and its shelf life is very short, everything is destined to be precious. In later generations, this fungus costs 1,600 yuan in a small plate of supermarkets in Tokyo, Japan, and it is even more expensive at this time - every twenty-five taels of silver.

It is almost equivalent to gold, and is more than ten times that of silver.

Most of these ingredients are produced in the southwest. They are not the type that can be stored for a long time. Most of them are rare in the mountains and fields, and it is best to eat them immediately. If you wait for a long time, you will be at a disadvantage and the taste will not be good.

If these things are eaten in the mansion of the Duke of Qian, Yunnan, it is naturally ordinary. If they are eaten in a large restaurant in the capital, it will be a bit difficult. Except for the old qualified ones in the capital, they have the means and have the power and related century-old shops, other places are also rare. Just like this, in a large restaurant in the capital, you have to count one hundred taels of silver!

And it is simply incredible to be seen in this northeastern place thousands of miles southwest.

Seeing Qi Zhao's expression, Lian Zining smiled slightly but didn't say anything.

The maid took the wine bottle and poured a glass in front of Lian Zining and the other two. The emerald green liquid was still emitting a white cold air in the wine glass, which was obviously iced.

Lian Zining smiled and said, "This is a 30-year-old bamboo leaf green produced in Guizhou. Some special ingredients are added to it. It is different from the ordinary ones. I know that Lord Qi is coming here today, so I specially used it to chill all night. I think about it and it tastes just right. Although the weather is getting colder now, the ground dragons are burning in the room, which is very hot, and it is just right to drink some chilled ones. Come on, Lord Qi, I will give you a cup first. Thank you for bringing 300,000 strong labor to my Northeast! This solves my urgent need!"

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it all.
To be continued...
