Seeing Zheng Chongjian’s unspeakable expression, Feng Ziying patted him on the shoulder: “Dazhang, you don’t need to think too much when you are working in the Ministry of War, but when things go wrong, there will be monsters. You can see this.
It shows that you are very careful. Yang Sichang must understand. Several adults know it well, but they will not say it. Fei Xiong is focused on the southwest and Zhong Lun has not entered the state yet, so you are aware of it, but this kind of thing is different from others.
, you know it, but you can also pretend not to know it, mention it in front of the public, let them understand that it is not you who didn't find it, and if they have other arrangements, just listen..."
Zheng Chongjian was also touched by Feng Ziying's sincere persuasion. He knew that the other party was doing it for his own good.
If you don't say anything after discovering it, maybe the princes will feel that they lack insight in this regard. If Yang Sichang doesn't say it, no one will say anything. He is Tanhua, and his father is the governor of Yunyang. How can he not understand the mystery? If he doesn't say it, he will say nothing.
He may be regarded as incompetent, so he said it to let the princes understand his ability. The princes have other plans. I will not say more to show that I am sensible. I am just an inconspicuous Jinshi who has just started his official career. He will still have a long way to go in the future.
It’s still growing...
Seeing that Zheng Chongjian's expression was finally relieved, Feng Ziying patted the other party's shoulder again: "Just understand, Dazhang, you are extremely talented in military affairs. I don't think you are inferior to Wenwei. You can practice hard in these battles and encounter
If you have the chance to go out and fight for two more times, I think the position of Yuanwailang among the various ministers of the Ministry of War will be waiting for you sooner or later."
Zheng Chongjian also laughed, "Ziying, you don't need to comfort me. I don't dare to ask for anything else. I will work hard for a few years. As you said, if I can go out and fight for opportunities and do something, I will be satisfied."
Already."
Feng Ziying didn't say much, "Okay, I'll go back first. If there are no other accidents, I guess it's almost time for Huang Degong's troops to arrive at Caojiazhai. The Chahar people won't be able to hold on for too long. I'm thinking about Zai Sai
That’s almost it.”
"The imperial court has two hundred thousand taels of silver...?" Zheng Chongjian hesitated and said, "If Zaisai doesn't see the money, will he withdraw his troops?"
“I have my own way, as long as the court is willing to commit.” Feng Ziying said calmly.
Zheng Chongjian couldn't believe it. This was two hundred thousand taels of silver, not twenty thousand taels of silver. When did his classmate grow up to a level where he could treat two hundred thousand taels of silver indifferently?
Seeing the horror on Zheng Chongjian's face, Feng Ziying smiled: "Don't think it's so complicated. Our family doesn't have that kind of wealth, and I can't advance such a large amount of money myself. You know that Ye Hebu is very close to my father's side now."
, and the Inner Khalkha people and the Yehe tribe are related by marriage.”
Zheng Chongjian suddenly realized that this was two hundred thousand taels of silver, and it was not easy for anyone to promise to guarantee it.
"Didn't you see the woman beside me when you and Wen Ruo came here? Busia Mara is the niece of Jintai Shitaiji of Yehe tribe. Her father is Bu Zhai and her brother is Bu Yangu. Her cousin
My sister is the daughter of Jin Taishi, so she married Zasai as her legitimate wife..."
Only then did Zheng Chongjian truly understand that with this kind of relationship, if coupled with the credibility of Liaodong, Zai Sai could be reassured.
Feng Ziying did not explain much to Zheng Chongjian. In fact, it was not as simple as it said.
Zai Sai is about to return to the army, and with the guarantee of Ye Hebu, he cannot go back empty-handed, so Feng Ziying has also asked Shanxi merchants to prepare some brick tea, and the cloth has been discounted for the two hundred thousand taels of silver. The approximate quantity of the first batch
The value is about 50,000 taels. When the last of Zaisai's troops withdraw, another 50,000 taels of goods will be sent, and the remaining 100,000 taels of goods will be delivered to the grassland before the end of the year.
Shanxi businessmen are extremely satisfied with this.
The mining, charcoal burning, iron smelting, ironmaking and cement business here in Yongping Prefecture is booming. Although the Mongolian invasion had some impact, it only delayed a while and did not cause substantial damage. Feng Ziying used it to promote peace.
The means of diverting people to the west are extremely clever, and now they are also using such a ransom business to establish a connection with the Inner Khalkha people.
This first transaction was a business of 200,000 taels. Bricks, tea, and cloth were originally businesses that Shanshan and Shaanxi merchants almost monopolized in the north. The supply of goods was abundant. Not to mention the goods worth 200,000 taels, even the goods were worth 2 million taels.
They can also easily take out the goods, and in the future they can add more competitive products such as iron materials and various ironware.
Coupled with the opening of the Yuguan port, if several ports in the Liaodong region can be built as scheduled in the future, the Northland will surely usher in a period of great development, and merchants from Shanxi and Shaanxi will surely be able to rise again to compete with the major business gangs in the south of the Yangtze River.
.
In just a few months, Feng Ziying's methods have completely convinced these Shanshan and Shaanxi merchants. Even the Shanxi merchants who were initially the most skeptical about the delicious food are now convinced, and when they think about it, they still have their father as Ji.
Behind the scenes is the Governor of Liao, who has now made such great achievements in the position of Tongzhi of Yongping Prefecture, and has reached an alliance with the Nekarkha people, second only to the Chahar people on the grassland. This rising figure in the political arena
Rising stars are undoubtedly the most worthy investments.
Because of this, Feng Ziying gave an order, and a large amount of cloth, brick tea, and salt from the Shanshan-Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce were continuously shipped to Yuguan Port from all over the country. All it took was Feng Ziying's handwritten letter stamped with a private seal. The goods were worth two hundred thousand taels of silver.
Then it can be delivered to Zaisai in Santun camp or transported directly to the grassland.
When Feng Ziying returned to her mansion, she went back to her house, took a shower, covered her head and fell asleep.
Ruixiang Baoxiang naturally reported to Shen Yixiu that he drank too much last night and was arrested by the Ministry of War.
But Qingwen is a delicate person, and she immediately smelled a different smell on the clothes she changed from Feng Ziying, especially her underwear.
Normally, the clothes that Feng Ziying changes into are either Yunshang's, or she is responsible for taking them to the back room for cleaning, but this underwear is basically cleaned by her and Yunshang themselves, and today there is clearly some balsam smell on the underwear .
And this balsam scent even felt very familiar to Qingwen. She should have smelled it before. In other words, the woman who left this balsam scent on her body should be known or even familiar to her. Besides that familiar smell, even There is also a rather unique scent, this kind of balsamic scent is not something ordinary girls can afford.
But it has been so long since she left the Rongguo Mansion, and many girls in the Rongguo Mansion use balsam and perfume. Even the maids with some status also use it. Wasn't it the same when she was in the Rongguo Mansion? So there are a lot of people using them, except for a few well-known ladies who are more particular about using unique ones. When there are many others, it is inevitable that they will overlap. Qingwen couldn't figure out who it would be for a while.
Thinking of so many warblers and swallows in Rongguo Mansion, Qingwen couldn't help but bite her teeth into pieces. She didn't know which shameless coquettish man came to seduce me.
Qingwen already knew Feng Ziying's itinerary from Baoxiang. The two masters hosted a banquet for me at noon yesterday. He should have gone to the garden in the afternoon. The Xue sisters and Miss Lin both wanted to go there, but Qingwen didn't believe that these girls would behave so outrageously. Ying'er and Wen Xing around Baochai, and Zijuan and Xueyan around Daiyu all knew the rules and could not be so wanton.
Then it’s only in the evening.
We had wine at Baoyu's in the evening. I don't drink much, and Baoyu has about the same amount. I'm afraid I won't have any sense of proportion when I drink this.
Qingwen is very familiar with the people in Baoyu House, Xiren, Meiren, Qixie, Zixuan, Sheyue, Qiuwen, Bihen, Tanyun, Si'er, these are all worthy of being called... The status is between the eldest maid and the little maid. As for the little maids such as Jiahui, Liang'er, Zhuo'er and Chunyan, there is no need to mention them. At least Qingwen knows that Bihen, Tan Yun and Si'er are all Those who wanted to use scented powder, not to mention the few Xiren, naturally agreed to it if Baoyu doted on them.
It’s just that the smell on my body doesn’t seem to be attacking them, or maybe they have changed to something else?
Qingwen naturally also knew that the young masters of this wealthy family would inevitably have fun playing Gaole when they got drunk. It seems that my father did not have this habit, but it was not necessarily the case in other families. Mr. Bao was not like this before, but he can't tell now. Well, it is not impossible for him to let his maid serve the guests while he is drunk with wine.
Thinking of this, Qingwen found an excuse to call Baoxiang aside.
“Baoxiang, where did I have wine last night? Who were there?”
“It seems that Mr. Bao, there are Mr. Huan, Mr. Lan, and Mr. Cong, but not the others.” Baoxiang felt a little nervous.
My uncle must never talk about what happened last night, but the personal maid next to this grandma is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She is very shrewd and has a strong and violent temper. Even my uncle sometimes has to give in. I heard that
It's because this girl was attracted by her father when she was still in Rongguo Mansion, that's why she is so favored.
Seeing that Baoxiang was a little nervous, Qingwen didn't know whether this guy was guilty, or whether he felt that it was a little out of line to inquire about his activities, but Qingwen wanted to find out.
“Is there anyone with whom to drink?” Qingwen asked, staring at Baoxiang.
Baoxiang was stunned for a moment, then thought for a while and then said: "There are no wine companions, but a few girls in Mr. Bao's yard helped pour the wine..."
Qingwen couldn't help gritting her teeth.
“What about after drinking, did you drink too much?”
“Yes, sister Qingwen, I drank too much and went back to the guest house to sleep.” Baoxiang said bravely.
“I just went back to the guest house to sleep alone?” Qingwen stared at Baoxiang like an awl, with a look of disbelief on her face. How could she smell like the balsam and powder of so many women when she slept alone?
Baoxiang panicked. Could it be that grandma asked sister Qingwen to ask? What should we do?
"It's a person, but..." Baoxiang thought for a while before saying.
