On the fifth day of the eighth month of the sixth year of Jiajing, Xu Jin bid farewell to Huang Dacan, who was on the Yarkand Khanate in Yangguan. When he returned to Dunhuang City, it was already evening. After dinner, he had a rest and was about to process some official documents, his personal soldiers sent a letter, which was sent by Jing Dachu, the general of Xuanfu, from Guazhou.

After reading the letter from Jing Dachu, Xu Jin couldn't help but frown his eyebrows. What I had worried about before still happened. Yu Dayou is indeed a handsome man, and he has become famous in the army in recent years, but in terms of prestige and qualifications, it is still not enough to convince the public. Especially those arrogant soldiers and generals around him, who are not famous for their military achievements? In terms of qualifications, Yu Dayou cannot rank in the top five.

The most taboo thing when a large army goes to war is the generals and generals. Today, Yu Dayou and Yu Linsheng have a head-on conflict. Although there is no big trouble in the end, the conflict between the two sides will inevitably become deeper. Yu Linsheng is not the one who suffers losses in silence. If the loss of face will definitely be done, he will definitely find ways to get it back. If the army is not united, let alone winning the battle, it will be wiped out. This is not a joke.

Xu Jin frowned and thought for a while, and finally seemed to have made up his mind to ignite the letter Jing Dachu and throw it into the brazier by his feet.

As the saying goes, two powers take the least one's own harm, and two powers take the most one's own benefit. Since hidden dangers are foreseeable, they will kill the hidden dangers in the cradle, even if they have to pay a certain price.

Xu Jin was a decisive person. After making up his mind, he put aside the matter and continued to concentrate on handling the matter at hand.

It is now Mid-Autumn Festival and August. Although it is still hot during the day, it cools down quickly at night and is quite cold. He has to wear thick clothes. At this moment, Xu Jin wrapped himself in a cotton robe, but his hands holding the pen were a little numb.

At this moment, Xu Jin missed his family a little. At this time, the caring maid Chuchun Chuxia probably had prepared a warm charcoal furnace for himself. If Zhao Datou took the initiative to think of the charcoal furnace, he would probably have frozen to death.

While Xu Jinzheng was "remembering sweetness and thinking bitterness", the door of the room opened gently, and a graceful figure flashed in lightly, with long legs standing tall and fragrant shoulders slashing like a knife. It was Xue Bingxin. She saw a honeycomb coal stove in her right hand, and the heat was emitting from the furnace, and the charcoal fire was raging.

Xu Jin looked up and saw Xue Bingxin's clear light blue eyes, happily put down his pen and said, "Xin'er is here."

Xue Bingxin placed the honeycomb coal stove in front of the desk, and while fiddling with the coal cakes inside with iron pliers, she whispered: "It's cold, I haven't been asleep so late, I'll catch a cold and see what you do!"

Xu Jin smiled and said, "I will go to bed after I finish the matter at hand. Xin'er, aren't you still not asleep?"

Xue Bingxin gave Xu Jin a blank look and said, "You, the commander, must take care of both the army, politics and law. Where can you bear it if you continue to do so? It is better to ask the court to send local officials as soon as possible."

"Yu Dayou has arrived in Guazhou today. After the handover is over in the past few days, we can go back to Beijing." Xu Jin said.

Xue Bingxin said happily: "Really?"

Xu Jin reached out and held Xue Bingxin's jade wrist and gently slid it, hugged the latter in his arms, and smiled and said, "Of course it's true. I'll be happy to see Huo'er soon?"

Xue Bingxin nodded, her delicate body softened and buried it in Xu Jin's arms. She sighed and said, "It's been half a year, Huo'er should have grown a lot taller."

"That's inevitable. Don't underestimate the food at home. After all, it's a Zhongming Ding Food House." Xu Jin hugged Xue Bingxin's warm waist and subconsciously climbed up along her gentle belly with one hand.

In a moment, Xue Bingxin blushed and her ears were hot. She slapped someone's big hand that was doing evil, and said angrily: "Don't do it nonsense."

Xu Jin suddenly woke up that there was a seed that had already sprouted in Xin'er's stomach. She could not withstand the clouds and rain for the time being, so she had to stop in disappointment.

Xue Bingxin saw the man's look of loss. She was both angry and funny, and a little soft-hearted. However, she finally turned her heart to change the topic: "I heard that Yu Linsheng and Yu Dayou had a conflict. What will your husband plan to deal with it?"

Xu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "What else can I do? One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, so let's get one of them away."

Xue Bingxin nodded and said, "It's better to transfer General Yu away. If the generals and generals are in conflict, a disaster will sooner or later. But General Yu must comfort him. He is one of the first military generals to follow his husband. Don't let others feel sad."

Xu Jin shrugged and said, "There is no need. I plan to transfer the Shenji Camp back together. If that boy Yu Linsheng dares to be dissatisfied, see how I will pick him up."

Xue Bingxin was surprised to hear this and said, "Do you plan to transfer Wang Lin'er, Qi Jingtong, and Xie's second brother back to Beijing?"

Xu Jin nodded calmly and said, "My second brother and his old friend have been fighting outside the border for nearly two years. It's time to go back to Beijing to rest and reunite with their family. As for Lao Wang, staying will hinder Yu Dayou's performance."

Wang Lin'er, Qi Jingtong and Xie Erjian are undoubtedly the three most prestigious tiger generals under Xu Jin. Whether they have military merits or titles, they are even better than Yu Dayou. If these three are staying, Yu Dayou's appeal and execution ability in the army will be greatly weakened.

Xue Bingxin hesitated: "If the second brother and the other three were transferred back to Beijing, General Yu would probably have nothing to say. But... After the Shenji Camp and the Datong Army were transferred together, the combat power of the army would be greatly weakened. Yu Dayou... Can he do it? Well, it is said that Yu Dayou was also promoted by his husband back then, and he thought he was a real skill."

Xu Jin smiled bitterly and said, "That's nothing to do. The two powers will take the least. As for Yu Dayou, this person is indeed a handsome man. If there is no accident, it will be no problem to wipe out Turpan, it just takes some time."

Xue Bingxin said lightly when she heard this. She was quite convinced of Xu Jin's vision of identifying and using people. Since her husband said that Yu Dayou was a handsome man, she would definitely not be bad.

"Hey, Xin'er, where did you get these honeycomb coals?" Xu Jin's eyes fell on the coal stove and asked curiously.

It is said that the honeycomb coal was "invented" by Xu Jin in Baoding Prefecture on his way to Beijing for the exam. Later, he packaged the "patent" and sold it to a merchant. After so many years, this smokeless honeycomb coal has become popular throughout the Ming Dynasty. It was not long before Dunhuang recovered. The honeycomb coal has not appeared yet, and it is difficult to get coal nearby.

Xue Bingxin replied: "In the caravan on the way to Yerjiang, some merchants brought honeycomb coal stoves. They probably planned to get them to Yerkang as rare goods. When they saw that the weather was cold, they asked the merchant for a stove and more than a dozen honeycomb coals. Maybe the husband could use it when he was handling official documents at night."

Xu Jin felt warm in his heart, and hugged Xue Bingxin's delicate body hard, and said lightly: "Thank you Xin'er, by the way, have you paid?"

Xue Bingxin said angrily: "Who is someone else? Of course, I will give it to you twice the price."

Xu Jin smiled and said, "It's not that you suspect Xin'er, you're useless, but that you're worried that the other party will not accept the money."

"The other party really refused to accept it at first. It was someone who forced it to him, but..." Xue Bingxin paused when she said this, and a strange look appeared on her pretty face.

Xu Jinqi said: "It's just what?"

"But the merchant looked at him with a strange look, and he was a trainer!" Xue Bingxin said.

"Oh, what's the name of that vendor?" Xu Jin asked.

Xue Bingxin recalled: "I don't know what name it is, but I heard other vendors call him Boss Mi."

"This boss Mi is unique and actually thought of selling stoves and honeycomb coal." Xu Jin smiled and obviously didn't feel at ease about this. After all, with Xiner's stunning appearance, it is normal for men to have a strange look when they see him. As for Jianjiazi, the people in the border areas are tough and they are very common.

"Coal?" Xu Jin suddenly had an inspiration in his mind, as if he had captured something.

Xue Bingxin said in confusion: "What's wrong with coal?"

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Do Xin'er know where there are coal mines nearby?"

Xue Bingxin shook her head and said, "I haven't heard of any coal mines in Guanxi. There are a few small ones in Guanxi."

Xu Jin's thoughts were unconscious. The Guanxi area was full of deserts and sparse vegetation. Sometimes it was difficult to collect some firewood and firewood. There was too little thing to burn. For example, the fuse of the conflict between Yu Linsheng and Yu Dayou was also because of firewood.

The lack of fuel also limits the population and economy of the region. It would be great if several coal mines could be found, but are there coal mines in Dunhuang, Gansu?

Xu Jin searched carefully and remembered that Shanxi is a major coal-producing province, while Gansu seems to have more gold and silver mines and relatively fewer coal mines. It seems that coal mines have appeared in the Qilian Mountains. Well, let Yu Dayou pay attention to it. If the coal mine can be dug out and the Silk Road is reopened, the economy of the Guanxi region will rise rapidly and the fuel problem of the army can be solved.

To take a step back, even if you can't dig out coal mines, it's good to dig some gold and silver mines. Well, after returning to Beijing, Jiajing sent some experienced craftsmen to explore. The boy heard that there was gold and silver, probably more active than anyone else.

"Husband, don't you want to dig a coal mine in Guanxi? It's just sand here!" Xue Bingxin said disapprovingly.

Xu Jin smiled and said, "Xin'er, you don't know anything. The Middle East is covered with sand...Arab, there are still countless oil buried under the ground."

"What is oil?" Xue Bingxin asked in a daze.

"This...is a kind of liquid that can ignite!"

"Oh, that's tinea oil?"

"Uh...you can understand this way, but oil is different from tinea oil, it is natural."

Xue Bingxin said oh, and was not interested and continued to ask. Anyway, it was just oil that could light up the fire, and nothing strange.
