Lu Yu has not been in the capital recently. For more than half a month, Lu Yu, who has just been promoted to Minister of Household Affairs, has been on official business in Jizhou Prefecture.

After a round trip from Nanjing, the Huguang grain that was finally escorted to Jizhou Prefecture has been put into the warehouse. The difference between the account book and the grain in the warehouse is not big. Excluding the losses on the road, there is almost a little overflow. This year's spring grain harvest is compared to

It had been a bumper harvest in the past, and Lu Yu thought to herself that if the food supply in Shanxi, Shaanxi and Henan was as good as that in Huguang, then the pressure on the imperial court's grain depot would be less this year.

When returning to Beijing today, Lu Yu took the Guandao Station all the way.

On the one hand, the official road is convenient, and whether it is a carriage or a horse, you can definitely return to the capital within three days.

On the other hand, the DPRK and China have recently been talking about canceling some official road stations. Lu Yu was entrusted by Xu Guangqi and Sun Chengzong to inspect the actual use of official road stations in the Gyeonggi area while on official business trips.

After all, except for the Gyeonggi area and the thoroughfares of various prefectures, the cabinet believes that most of the official posts are a pure waste of money and food for the court and have no actual results. In recent years, the wars have been concentrated in the two southeastern provinces or Liaodong, and there are no other places.

What kind of war... Of course, the peasant army and the recruitment of soldiers for mutiny are not within the scope of consideration by the court officials.

When he knew that the Minister of Hubu was about to stay at the Yingzhoufu Post Station, Shi Xun, the postmaster, began to make preparations. He ordered the kitchen to prepare sumptuous dishes, and asked his servants to clean up a private room for Lu Yu to rest. At the same time, he ordered the servants to

The officials filled the manger with the best wheat straw and ears of grain, as well as buckets of clear spring water, so that Master Lu's horse could eat and drink well.

"Master Lu, you have had a hard journey," Shi Xun stepped forward diligently and bowed to welcome Lu Yu into the inn.

To sum it up, the Hubu Yamen can be regarded as the direct subordinate government of each official post station. Its Thirteen Qing officials are in charge of tribute, food and salary for various guards, as well as the vassal money and grain, various warehouses, salt tax, and banknotes. This includes the post office.

Distributed in silver.

"I've been here all this way, and the houses here belong to you. The carriages and horses are neatly arranged in the back, there are dining halls in the front and back, and there is a house in the back." Lu Yu put his hands behind his back, nodded, glanced around, and nodded with satisfaction.

Nodding: "Yes, it's really good. After I return to Beijing, I will put in a good word for you at the Household Department."

"Thank you, sir, please come over here," Shi Xun said with a flattering look on his face as he bowed his body and led Lu Yu to the backyard.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a fierce quarrel outside the inn.

"Isn't this some good grain, grass and wheat straw? Why don't you give me a full mount! You are so contemptuous of others. If I were in Liaodong, I would have been sent to the horse market to wash toilets by the Chief Military Officer!"

A soldier with a Liaodong accent was arguing with a clerk outside the inn.

"Master Lu, please forgive me. I will send someone to send the soldiers away..." Shi Xun was serving Lu Yu cautiously, hoping that if he could climb onto Lu Yu's lap, he could one day be able to do it again.

Being transferred back to the capital and serving as the postmaster of the capital post was like smoke coming out of ancestral graves. Now that he was disturbed, his face darkened and he immediately went out to clean up the soldiers.

"Wait a minute," Lu Yu heard the voice outside the door and raised her eyebrows first. When she heard the word 'Liaodong', she stretched out her arm to block Shi Xun and walked out of the inn.

Shi Xun was stunned. He didn't know what was going on, so he could only follow Lu Yu and head out of the inn together.

"Are you Pu Bing from Liaodong?" Lu Yu walked outside and asked his followers to bring the Pu Bing over.

"Sir, the young one is galloping all the way from Ningyuan City, Liaodong Province, with a speed of eight hundred miles, to deliver a report to the Pavilion Department in the capital!" That Pu Bing didn't know Lu Yu, but he knew he was dressed in red and purple.

Now that he is a high-ranking official, he knows that he is not easy to offend, so he lowers his attitude: "It's because the little officials at the inn look down on others and don't provide food and grass for the young mounts and horses. I have disturbed you, sir. Please forgive me."

"What's going on in Liaodong?" Lu Yu exclaimed. It couldn't be such a coincidence that he encountered a report from Liaodong again, right?

Na Pubing raised his head and looked at Lu Yu, as if he was debating whether to show the letter to this adult.

After all, he was the one who made up the Eight Hundred Miles Expedited Plan. What he sent was just a letter of advice from the Liaodong General Soldier to the court. Whether you read it or not, it didn’t matter.

"The person in front of you is Mr. Lu, the Minister of Household Affairs," Lu Yu's personal attendant saw this and introduced Lu Yu's identity.

"I have a very close personal relationship with the Commander-in-Chief of Liaodong and the Marquis of Dingyuan, so you can rest assured," Lu Yu said while angrily scolding Shi Xun behind him: "Chief Shi, how do you do things like this?

You dare to neglect the 800-mile rush to prepare troops in Liaodong? If things go on like this, all important affairs of the family and the country will be ruined by your hands!"

"Young man, let's change it now. Then let people change the food and grass and serve good meals." Shi Xun was glared at by Lu Yu, and he immediately bowed to admit his mistake. At the same time, he said to Pu Bing: "Master, please be patient, little one."

This will replace the food and grass for your beloved horse..."

"You come with me!" Lu Yu waved and led Na Pubing into the post station.

Not long after, in the backyard of the house.

"What happened in Liaodong?" Lu Yu only knew that the Ming army retreated to the front line of Ningyuan City, but she didn't know what happened specifically.

"Marquis Dingyuan asked me to send a letter to the cabinet ministers and the court." Napu Bing stood in front of Lu Yu, also looking respectful, but he didn't know what was written in the letter.

Seeing that Pu Bing didn't understand what he meant, Lu Yu repeated: "In other words, after Wang Qi arrived in Liao, what was Liaodong Manager Xiong Tingbi doing in Ningyuan City?"

"Um, if you want to speak to your lord," Pu Bing nodded before returning: "Mr. Xiong is in charge of civil affairs, and Marquis Dingyuan is in charge of military affairs. With the cooperation of the two, Ningyuan City is temporarily stable, and Hou Jin has no signs of continuing to move south for the time being.

."

Xiong Tingbi and Wang Qi collaborated!

Lu Yu's eyes flashed, as if she had grasped some key information.

Wrong!

Lu Yu immediately denied his idea, and then said: Wang Qi should have forced Xiong Tingbi to cooperate with him!

This letter is a letter of submission!

At this time, if Lu Yu can take the first step and submit a memorial to the court, suggesting that Wang Qi and Xiong Tingbi govern Liaodong together, he will not only show favor to Wang Qi, but also allow Dong Lin and the Chu Party to advance his own interests!<

/p>

"Climbing onto Marquis Dingyuan's lap, my luck seems to be booming from now on, and my fortune will be skyrocketing!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yu slapped her thigh and raised her eyes to look at the soldiers: "This place is not far from the capital. It doesn't take much time. We will go after eating and drinking. Thank you for your hard work."

After Lu Yu said this, he ignored Pu Bing's reaction and stood up and walked straight out of the inn.

He has to rush back to the capital as soon as possible... to present the memorial to the court.

At this time, everyone in the court, from the emperor to the officials, were waiting for the memorial from Wang Qi of Liaodong.

Keep up with Wang Qi's pace... Next, maybe you can hope to covet the threshold of the cabinet.
