Listening to Jin Chu'er talk about the Xiyi people, Feng Ziying's heart moved slightly.

The situation of the Buddha machine people in the Great Zhou is similar to the situation of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life, and preaching is their main intention, but they also spread some science and culture by the way, with both advantages and disadvantages, depending on how the imperial court responds.

A great feeling that Feng Ziying got from this western expedition to quell the rebellion was that both the rebels and the Yulin soldiers, Datong soldiers and Shanxi soldiers on the side of the border army were extremely unfamiliar and dissatisfied with the use of firearms.

The reason for this is that the so-called three-eyed firebolt has a very high failure rate, is inconvenient to operate, and this method of burning the firewire is almost useless in the dark night and rainy days.

The three-eyed firecracker is produced by the Great Zhou, and like other firearms, the source is also mixed, the quality is uneven, and the explosion situation is endless, and the quality of gunpowder also makes this kind of weapon very limited in war.

But what is even more tricky is that the training of musketeers is extremely boring and cumbersome, which also makes many soldiers unwilling to accept this new weapon, which also directly leads to the lag of the border army in this weapon, establishment and tactics.

He overheard Jia Zheng once mentioned that there is a person in the Yu Hengqing Department of the Ministry of Industry who is very good at building firearms, and he is also a Jinshi, but he is not very popular, so if this is the case, he can ask, since this Da Zhou is similar to the era of the late Ming Dynasty, there should be some talents in this regard.

In addition, if it is difficult to make self-made firearms in a short period of time, then buying this kind of firearm from the Franc machine man, especially the self-generated firearm is also an option, but in the final analysis, it is the king to make yourself, but the shallow and crude handicraft industry base of Dazhou may not be able to support the development of this military industry at all.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying also felt more and more that her time was precious and her status was too low, although she was already a stunning alternative in the eyes of many people, but looking at the changes in the situation around her, Feng Ziying still felt an unprecedented pressure.

The Spaniards, Portuguese, and Dutch had already set their feet on the border of the southeast sea frontier, but now the imperial court could only concentrate on dealing with the Jianzhou Jurchens in the northeast and the Tatars in the north, and this sense of anxiety and urgency was simply unbearable.

Perhaps this is a kind of responsibility of the prophet.

"Oh, I've read Ling Zun's letter to the teacher, well, the content of your letter is almost the same." After Qiao Yingjia took the letter and read it, he nodded, "Originally, I had already written a letter to Ji Yu at the beginning of the year, and it was basically negotiated, but the result was good, you father and son went to the battlefield together, and it was delayed for more than half a year,......"

"Master Qiao, my mother also said that I want to bother Master Qiao, and it is estimated that there will be no big delay for the disciples in the short term, and this has been more than half a year, and Lord Huang has opinions on Lord Chai." Feng Ziying said with a smile.

"Well, that's the case, then I'll go to the door as a teacher, but although the Shen family has a mansion in Beijing, Ji Yu is in Shandong, and I have to ask someone to go to Shandong, and it's agreed, and your family can make an appointment for the appointment." Qiao Yingjia was very happy, "Ziying, the daughter of the Shen family is very virtuous, knowledgeable, and quite talented, Ji Yu has always been proud of this woman, so when he returned to Beijing from the Hajj at the end of last year, he also mentioned the problem of your family business with his teacher, and he was a little unhappy, probably because he thought that you were going to marry two rooms, although it was a both, but it was still a little unsatisfactory,......"

"Oh? Then what did Lord Shen say later? Feng Ziying was also curious about what Shen Fu thought about this.

"Later, the teacher also wrote to persuade Ji Yu, saying that this is a special situation in your family, and if you are both, no matter which one of the sons born to the daughter of the Shen family can have ,......the opportunity to attack the lord, which is also a good thing, who can guarantee that each of his sons can be admitted to the Jinshi, if he can't study, at least he can be the lord and become an official."

Qiao Yingjia's words are right, even the scholarly family does not dare to guarantee that every child can become successful, and this imperial examination is also full of uncertainty, especially the scientific examination of this dynasty is more and more focused on the policy theory of the times, many people are endowed with poetry and songs, but they have repeatedly returned home in the scientific examination, which is also normal.

"Later, Ji Yu also accepted this truth, after all, it is a long house, well, for the Shen family, a marquis title can be regarded as a rare opportunity for the son-in-law to inherit the title."

Feng Ziying nodded silently, it was replaced by other martial arts families, I was afraid that I would have to go crazy a long time ago, such a good thing fell on the head, who didn't care if it was both good or not, but for the scholar family, they still paid more attention to studying and taking the Chinese style of being an official.

"So this matter is basically settled, if it weren't for the fact that your father and son both went west to quell the rebellion, it would be time to finalize the time to get married, but Ji Yu is very appreciative of your emphasis on state affairs and supports your approach, this time you have made a great contribution, the court may let you break up and enter the Hanlin Academy, Ji Yu should be even happier."

Qiao Yingjia put down the letter in his hand before asking, "Then you have to wait for two years for the third room of your family?" Lin Hai's daughter seems to be less than thirteen years old, right? ”

This matter has never been able to get around, Feng Ziying also nodded, "The disciple thinks so too." As long as the family affairs of the long house are settled, the father and mother will be able to put their minds at ease. ”

Qiao Yingjia hesitated for a moment, as if he was considering his words, "Ziying, do you remember what the teacher told you about the two Zhejiang salt administrations?" ”

Feng Ziying froze, "Master Qiao, you once mentioned it, but you didn't say the specific situation, isn't it Lord Yang that they have already dealt with it?" ……”

"The situation in Liangzhejiang has indeed been dealt with, but at that time, the Metropolitan Procuratorate also received some feedback pointing to the Lianghuai Salt Administration." Qiao Yingjia said lightly.

"Huh?" Feng Ziying couldn't help but exclaim, "You mean Lin Gong?" ”

"Hmm, he is the imperial history of Huaiyang Salt Patrol, since it involves Huaiyang Salt Administration, how can he hide from it?" Qiao Yingjia nodded, "But at that time, the main energy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was to investigate the two Zhejiang Salt Politics, and there was disagreement within the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the emperor meant to check the evidence first, and you also knew the situation of the imperial court the year before last, and the emperor also hoped to come up with the results as soon as possible, and there was an explanation,......"

Although the special imperial history of the patrol and the salt imperial history are also nominally imperial history, they also belong to the Metropolitan Procuratorate in theory, but in fact, this imperial history is more about dealing with cao affairs and salt affairs, and it has little to do with the work of the imperial history itself. ’

Moreover, the imperial history of the salt patrol is even more special, because he is directly in charge of the distribution of the entire salt introduction and is responsible for collecting the salt tax for the household department, which is a large amount of money for the imperial court.

The three major salt policies, two Huai, two Zhejiang, Changlu, and two Huai patrol salt imperial history are the most fat.

"And then?" Feng Ziying has to pay attention to it, it seems that the trend of history has not changed, will this Lin Ruhai always be involved in this salt political storm?

"The emperor talked to Lord Zhang, the imperial historian of the left capital at that time, and this matter was temporarily suppressed, but this does not mean that the matter is over." Qiao Yingjia hadn't told Feng Ziying about this before, but now, on the one hand, it involves his disciple's marriage issues, and on the other hand, he feels that his disciple has grown up and can properly participate in understanding these things hidden in the dark side of the imperial court.

"Someone is making a fuss about this again?" Feng Ziying is so smart, and the various experiences in his previous life make him very sensitive to this kind of thing.

"Everyone knows that Lin Hai is the emperor's person, and the two Huai Salt Administrations never ask about the income of the salt tax every year, since the 20th year of Yuanxi, how many people have changed in the Imperial Court over the years? The emperor has also been on the throne for five or six years, why is there someone who wants to make waves at this time? Qiao Yingjia's tone was also indifferent, but there was not much relaxation between his eyebrows.

"Master Qiao, do you mean that someone is deliberately going to make trouble at this time?" Feng Ziying tried hard to keep up with Qiao Yingjia's train of thought, "But what does the other party want?" ”

"Ziying, your eyes can't just see the opening of the sea and the debt, you have to see what the opening of the sea and the debt will bring to the emperor in addition to the benefits to the imperial court?" Qiao Yingjia laughed softly, "I all know that the money obtained from borrowing will first be used to expropriate Fusha Prefecture and Hami in the west, what a glorious event this is?" The restoration of the land has always been a dynasty, the most glorious act of an emperor, of course the emperor is happy, but there must be people who are not so happy, well, think about it,......"

Feng Ziying pondered nervously, Prince Yizhong, or Emperor Taishang?

In the past two years, Prince Yizhong has deliberately created a momentum in Shilin, a banquet today, a poetry meeting tomorrow, and the literati of Shilin in the north and south, as well as some officials in the DPRK and China, like to appear in this kind of event, but it is also very popular.

Moreover, Prince Yizhong's son is now also up-and-coming, with frequent excellent works, and several articles have been made full of flowers, and the words and chapters are gorgeous, which have won the praise of the literati in the north and south.

But no matter how well this kind of momentum is created, where can it attract the attention of ordinary people more than recovering the lost territory of the previous dynasty? That means that this dynasty has more destiny than the former Ming Dynasty, and naturally there are scholars who wave the flag and shout for the emperor to make a fuss.

If it's just Prince Yizhong, the imperial historians are not something that Prince Yizhong can control, and even if there is, it's only a very few, but what if it's the emperor?

Emperor Taishang has never had such a feat of recovering the land in his forty years of reign, how can he do it just a few years after your Yonglong Emperor ascended the throne? What did the Emperor think in his heart?

If someone takes the opportunity to make a fuss about the Lianghuai Salt Politics, will the Emperor Taishang feel that this is the emperor preparing to make a fuss about the Lianghuai Salt Politics, and by the way, raise money for the restoration of the land? After all, this opening of the sea is still just a castle in the air, and there will be no silver in half a year.

Thinking of this, Feng Ziying couldn't help but gasp, this hand is powerful, but if he really grabbed the handle of the two Huai Yanzheng and shook it out, if the emperor dared to stay in the middle and not send it, then the people behind it would definitely continue to make moves to destroy the emperor's reputation and prestige.
