When she learned that it might be Yongping or one of the three prefectures of Hejian and Baoding, Feng Ziying had already made up her mind.

Baoding seems undoubtedly the best conditions, that is the entire North Zhili region is second only to Shuntian Mansion and Zhending Mansion of the Great Mansion, there are many people, the geographical location is extremely important, it can be called the forbidden place of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is also very close to the Beijing Division, and the Qingyuan is the closest to the Beijing Division.

Hejian Mansion is not bad, and its lower Cangzhou is not only the place of Changlu Salt, but also the location of the Changlu Salt Transportation Envoy, which is one of the richest places in the North.

The worst may be Yongping Mansion, not only is it located in the northeast corner of Beizhili, not to mention the small area, there are only six prefectures and counties, and there are Shanhaiwei and Funingwei belonging to Jizhen in the north, and Kaiping Zhongwei in the west, and the station of Jizhen is also in the Santun camp in the northwest corner.

Coming out of Qi Yongtai's mansion, Feng Ziying rode back to his mansion.

The Tongzhi of Yongping Mansion was old, and the Tongzhi of Baoding Mansion was promoted to the right senator of the Shandong Political Envoy, and the Tongzhi of Hejian Mansion was taken down by the Metropolitan Procuratorate because of greed for ink.

The vacancy of the three prefectures of the North Zhili is not at the same time, the Yongping Mansion and the Zhizhi were all at the beginning of last year, and the promotion of the Tongzhi of Baoding Mansion to the right senator of the Shandong Bu Political Envoy is still only the Ministry of Officials is going through the procedure, and the incident of the Tongzhi of Hejian Mansion was at the end of last year.

Qi Yongtai summoned Feng Ziying to the mansion to specifically talk to him about this matter, and suggested that he go to Baoding Mansion to serve as a fellow governor, because Xu Shouji, the prefect of Baoding, is a native of Huguang Huangzhou Mansion, and is a fellow villager of Guan Yingzhen, only one department later than Guan Yingzhen, and has a close relationship with Guan Yingzhen.

But Feng Ziying didn't want to go to Baoding.

Baoding is good, but Xu Shouzhi is in the prime of life, energetic, strong style, and Guan Ying Zhenyi is a fellow villager, not to mention, but also has a very close relationship with Shoufu Ye Xianggao, and he will only be crushed to Baoding as an assistant to him, and there is no room to play.

Yan Chongnian, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture, is also in a similar situation, he is also a second-class jinshi, even earlier than Xu Shouji, he is a native of Yanzhou Mansion in Zhejiang, and has a very close relationship with the second assistant Fang Congzhe, and he is also an official who is in the rising period of his career.

If you go to Hejian by yourself, if you keep the same pace with Yan Chongnian, then you will definitely be even more dissatisfied with the Beidi people who already have some opinions about you, and if you go against Yan Chongnian, not to mention whether you will be suppressed by the other party, it will really conflict, and it will be detrimental to your future development.

Of course, he has Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia as the backing, but Yan Chongnian has the support of Fang Congzhe, even if he will not end up in the same situation as his predecessor, but losing both is not what Feng Ziying is willing to see, and if the reputation is bad? Where do you go in the future? will arouse the vigilance and hostility of the original officials.

So neither Baoding nor Hejian Feng Ziying will go? He had already made up his mind to go to Yongping Mansion.

But there are some topics that he can't talk to Qi Yongtai about? Qi Yongtai has a strong personality? Although he can understand some of his own grievances, he will inevitably feel that he likes to be opportunistic and leave a bad impression? So there have to be other, more solid reasons.

How to convince Qi Yongtai and keep Qi Yongtai from other unhappy emotions? Feng Ziying still has to think about it.

Of course, in addition to this thought, Feng Ziying also has some other plans.

Have you already walked to the fourth archway of Fuchengmen Street? Feng Ziying thought about it for a while, and saw if it was too early? He simply turned the horse's head and rode the horse in the direction of Hongluo Factory.

"Master? You're not going back to the house? Ruixiang was taken aback, "Didn't you say that a few girls from Rongguo Mansion are coming to the mansion today?" ”

"Don't worry, go to the Zhongshun Mansion first." Feng Ziying nodded.

Ruixiang also knows that the relationship between the uncle and the king of Zhongshun has always been very close? Especially after the opening of the Haitong Yinzhuang Jingshi became more and more prosperous, there were more times when the posts from the prince of Zhongshun came to the mansion.

Is Chungshun Mansion located on Chongguosi Street? It is close to the chariot factory and connected to Dingfu Street.

The princes' mansions here are lined up one after another, endlessly, and most of the mansions of the princes and princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty are in this line, but in just over a hundred years, they have also experienced countless winds and rains.

Zhongshun Wangfu is also the Dingwang Mansion fifty years ago, and Dingwang is the younger brother of Emperor Guangyuan, but because he was involved in a palace scandal, he was cut off and abolished as a concubine, and later this mansion was given to the seventh son of Emperor Tianping, King Lu, that is, Emperor Yuanxi's half-brother, but King Lu lost power in the struggle to help his brother and Emperor Yuanxi fight for the throne, and was later imprisoned to death, this mansion was given by Emperor Yuanxi to his nine sons, that is, King Zhongshun.

Feng Ziying was already familiar with the Zhongshun Palace, and when she saw Feng Ziying's post in the concierge, she didn't even wait for the prince to reply, and she had already welcomed Feng Ziying in.

As expected, King Zhongshun, who was still listening to the play, left a group of actors behind and entered the study with Feng Ziying.

"Jia Lian is really going to Yangzhou?" King Zhongshun was very dissatisfied with this, he felt that Jia Lian had done a very good job in the Beijing Division for most of the past six months, and all aspects of his business had been opened, "Ziying, I heard that you are also going out of Beijing?" Why is that? ”

The news that Feng Ziying is leaving Beijing may not be known or paid attention to by ordinary people, but as the major shareholder of Haitong Yinzhuang, King Zhongshun will naturally pay more attention, and he didn't understand how the purple Feng Ziying suddenly thought of leaving Beijing to go somewhere, but after asking some people, he roughly understood.

"Lord Wang, there are some things you should understand, the strategy of opening the sea is the big head of the imperial court, but my father's son is in Yulin, and now he is going to Liaodong, and he needs silver, so the lower officials have nothing to say, but Jiangnan also has huge benefits, but the north has not seen the benefits for a while, how can you say that our gentry and merchants in the north can be satisfied?" Feng Ziying smiled bitterly.

[Mimi Read] ()

How could the King of Loyalty not know about these things? Feng Ziying has never despised this prince, he seems to be greedy for money and fun, playing tickets, masculine style, even greedy for ink, interfering in the judiciary, everything, but he can always stand firm, this is not just by relying on the relationship with the emperor as siblings, the imperial historians will not care about you.

"That's it?" The king of Zhongshun seemed to believe it, "Even so, then you don't have to go to the place, right?" Even if you stay in the Hanlin Courtyard for two years, won't it be over? ”

"Lord Wang, Taoguang Yanghui is not suitable for lower officials." Feng Ziying said calmly: "It is inevitable that the north is dissatisfied, but this is indeed a real problem, we have not benefited much from the north land, if there must be, it can only be seen from the Liaodong side, but the Jianzhou Jurchen is now on the rise, and my father also feels a lot of pressure after the past, and in three or five years, we can only take a defensive position in the Jianzhou Jurchens,......

King Zhongshun nodded slightly.

Of course, he knows the situation in Liaodong, and the imperial brother is also most concerned about the situation in Liaodong, the vigorous development of the Jianzhou Jurchens, especially since Nurhachi unified the Jianzhou Jurchens and launched an offensive to annex the Haixi Jurchens, the imperial brother has been restless, otherwise he would not have replaced Li Chengliang with a hard head.

You must know that in the past few decades of his father's emperor, Li Chengliang has always been the Dinghai Divine Needle in Liaodong, but seeing the growing power of the Jianzhou Jurchens, the imperial brother will change generals even at the risk of instability in Liaodong for a period of time.

Li Chengliang is old, and he no longer has the ambition and courage of the past, and if he continues like this, it will be like a boiled frog in warm water, which will only completely bury the situation in Liaodong, so the imperial brother will make a decisive decision.

Feng Tang went to Liaodong and stabilized the situation in a short time, but the momentum of Jianzhou Jurchen was not completely contained, this henchman still exists, and it will even continue to grow.

"Therefore, it is very difficult to regain the impression of the Beidi scholars from Liaodong, and the Qi Division, Qiao Division, and the Guanshi will inevitably suffer some criticism, so the lower officials do not plan to waste two years in the Hanlin Academy, but would rather go down to any prefecture in the Northern Land to do something real." Feng Ziying is confident.

King Zhongshun pondered for a moment, "Are you very optimistic about Yongping Mansion?" ”

The cooperation between the Jin merchants and Zhuang Ji has entered the substantial exploration stage, and they have begun to contact Haitong Yinzhuang for loans, which Zhongshun Wang should have gotten some news.

"Look, Xia Guan is personally more optimistic, Foshan Zhuangji is very large, and the number of all kinds of iron and iron tools it mainly sells is huge, but there are not many mines in the south, and the quality is not good, but it should not be bad in Yongping Mansion." Feng Ziying nodded, "If we can replicate a prosperous iron-smelting town similar to Foshan on the Yongping Mansion, I believe that the criticism of the gentry in the north will be much lessened?" ”

King Zhongshun understood that this one wanted to use his own skills to turn the tide, and he did not hesitate to bet on the following places.

If you change a person, I am afraid that you will never dare to make such a big gamble, and if you go to the place, it will not be so easy to come back, especially if you are still under attack.

But if, as Feng Ziying herself said, he can replicate a large and prosperous town in Yongping Mansion that collects iron smelting, iron making and iron sales, it will bring self-evident influence, and even his career will become brighter.

It's just that the reason why it is regarded as a big gamble by the king of loyalty is because this possibility is too slim.

From Shuntianfu to Yongpingfu, this line is rich in iron ore This is nothing new, there are many government and private mines and iron-smelting shops in Zunhua, but subject to many factors such as mining difficulty, smelting technology and transportation, market, etc., although the iron-smelting industry in Zunhua is also developed in the north, but to compare with Foshan, it can not be calculated.

Of course, the most important thing is the limitation of iron-smelting technology and transportation capacity, and the Shuntianfu line cannot be compared with the convenience of Foshan relying on Guangzhou shipping and Pearl River shipping, so the market is relatively narrow, which also forms a vicious circle.

"Ziying, your goal is too ambitious, so grand that although Lone hopes to succeed, he feels that it is difficult to achieve." King Zhongshun sighed and said, "Yongping Mansion is not a good place, you may be disappointed. ”

"You have to give it a try." Feng Ziying also understands that Yongping Mansion can be regarded as the poorest prefecture in the entire Beizhili, and it may only be slightly better than Wanquan Dusi and Baoan Prefecture, but the poorer the area, as long as you find the right path, the faster you can see the effect.

Seeing that Feng Ziying had already made up her mind, King Zhongshun didn't persuade much, "Then what should Jia Lian do here?" ”

"If Jia Lian wants to go to Yangzhou, then let Jia Yun be responsible for it for the time being." Feng Ziying thought for a while and said, "I asked Jia Lian to consciously let Jia Yun assist him before, and after taking it for so long, there should be no problem." ”

"Jia Yun? That young man from the side branch of the Jia family, can he do it? King Zhongshun was a little skeptical, "Ziying, Gu knows that the Jingshi has done well in the early stage, but it doesn't mean that the latter can be like this,......"

"Lord Wang, it's still the same sentence, if you believe me, leave it to me." Feng Ziying had an undoubted self-confidence in his temperament, and it was this self-confidence that had always made King Zhongshun very optimistic about Feng Ziying.

"Okay, Ziying, I hope so, but if you don't perform well, I hope you can find a more suitable candidate, especially if you're leaving Jingshi again." King Zhongshun exhaled a cloudy breath in annoyance.

He originally wanted to recommend a candidate who he was more optimistic about, but he found that he lacked this confidence in front of Feng Ziying.

After all, the other party single-handedly launched the strategy of opening the sea, which will bring all these changes, and even the prince Teng's house went to Denglai to a certain extent thanks to Feng Ziying's strategy of opening the sea, and he was able to move Niu Jizong out of the Jingying Jiedu envoy, and now the Jingying Jiedu envoy has been vacant, and the king of Zhongshun knows very well that he is probably the imperial brother who will never appoint another Jingying Jiedu envoy.

This guy not only has an amazing sense of smell in business, but also has an unparalleled keen perception and response to the ups and downs in the court.

It is impossible for Feng Ziying to hand over the Jingshi to anyone who he cannot control, and a series of actions in Yongping Mansion will require a lot of funds, and this time the cooperation between Jin Shang and Zhuang Ji will largely have to be borrowed from Haitong Yinzhuang, and if there is no person who can completely control him, he will definitely be subject to all kinds of fetters.

"Lord Wang, I also want to stay in Jingshi City, so that I can better control it, but the strategy of opening the sea has relieved the emperor's worries, and Jiangnan has benefited, but I have become a victim." Feng Ziying spread her hands helplessly, "Otherwise, why should I leave?" How unfair. ”

Prince Yizhong stared at Feng Ziying for a while before he laughed, "Ziying, complaining like this, let Gu feel that you are here for a purpose this time, let's say, what do you need to do with the emperor?" ”

"The prince misunderstood, the lower official actually just wanted to tell the prince, in fact, the emperor was also very considerate of the lower official,......" Feng Ziying blinked.

King Zhongshun stared at Feng Ziying, smiling rather than smiling, "Or is it your Uncle Yunchuan?" It's just a false seal, is it that heavy? Or is it rumored that you really want to marry again? Which girl makes you so concerned? ”

Feng Ziying smiled and said nothing, and King Zhongshun finally snorted lightly, "Lone knows such things that make the imperial brother unhappy, why do you have to do it alone?" ”

"Lord, it may not make the emperor unhappy, maybe the emperor is also in a dilemma now, and he needs someone to hand him a step." Feng Ziying smiled lightly.

King Zhongshun pondered carefully and nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that the father's small actions have also been seen by the imperial brother, so it seems that the situation may really be as Feng Ziying said, and the imperial brother is also in trouble now.

In this case, it is better to be a good person yourself, which can not only satisfy Feng Ziying, but also make the imperial brother have a step down, and there is nothing to say on the father's side, and even let all parties achieve a happy result.

But is this guy really so amorous? King Zhongshun couldn't help but look at the other party again.
