Feng Ziying even suspected that if Zhu Zhiren was not from Fujian, and Zheng Jizhi, the head of the household department, was a fellow scholar, this guy might have been dismissed from his post a long time ago.

Any of the above can become a powerful basis for the chief officer to be dismissed, but Zhu Zhiren was still able to survive with his illness, which also shows that this person still has some ability.

Feng Ziying suddenly realized that she was coming to Yongping Mansion, and it was probably not as simple as she had originally guessed that she had taken the initiative to invite Ying, and maybe she also had Qi Shi's thoughts in it.

Zhu Zhiren, a Fujian scholar, has done so badly in Yongping Mansion, and now he often shirks affairs on the grounds that he is sick and bedridden.

After all, the gap between the prefect and the same governor is still quite huge, and many people are difficult to cross in their lifetimes.

However, Feng Ziying estimated that Qi Shi's mind was still inclined to give it a go, Yongping Mansion is a round of population and taxation, but the geographical location and significance are extremely important, especially as the throat of Jingdong, holding the West Liaoning Corridor, its significance is very different, and it is a key point in the Beizhi region, and every move here can affect the hearts of the people of Jingshi.

If you can do well here, it is enough to lay a solid foundation for yourself to move to a higher level in the future.

"......, generally speaking, the gentry here are still more supportive of the government, mainly because the Weizhen Juntun in the west and north has a great influence on them, and more than ten years ago, the Chahar Department broke through the border wall and entered Yongping to plunder, which also brought great damage to the Yongping counties, and many century-old households were swept away by the Mongols, and many of the current gentry gradually came out after the previous group of people were wiped out, so they are still more in awe of the government,......"

Well, this should be good news, the Northland gentry have a lot of influence in the local area, especially some families who have a little one or two people will have a lot of influence in the local area, which will also be a disadvantage to a large extent on the governance of the government, especially for a new official like himself who wants to do a big job.

If the gentry of Yongping Mansion are relatively weak, this will be very beneficial to the development of the coal and iron industry, of course, Feng Ziying also believes that the Jin merchants are not easy to match, for these local snakes, they are also in the north and south of the Great Zhou for decades, and naturally have a countermeasure.

"......, Dengfeng, they and the people of Foshan Zhuangji and Shanxi Chamber of Commerce have been carrying out exploration in Luanzhou, Kaiping Youtunwei, and Qian'an for nearly half a year? In general, several areas have been delineated, mainly concentrated in the southern part of Qian'an County, the western part of Luanzhou and the border area of Kaiping Youtunwei, and these areas have high quality of carboniferous. They are also said to be experimenting with turning charcoal into charcoal (coke) according to the method proposed by adults. ……”

In fact, Feng Ziying has already mastered this situation, and Gu Dengfeng Jishan maintains that he has to report the progress of this consortium to Feng Ziying through letters every ten years.

Should it be said that it was relatively smooth? Is it mainly because the population of Yongping counties is not large? Some remote areas, especially those near the northern town of Wei, are less populated, and this is still a huge shadow of the Mongol invasion of Koubian more than a decade ago? Who doesn't want to live under the dangerous realm of sleepless nights? Plus Weizhen's side is not powerful? Banditry is more serious at these junctions, so the main areas chosen for exploration by the consortium are concentrated in these areas.

To start the coal-iron complex project in Feng Ziying's mind, capital, manpower, technology, market, and transportation are all indispensable? This is also the reason why Feng Ziying is willing to give up the privileged life in the capital city and give up going to places with better conditions such as Baoding or Ningbo? The main reason to come to Yongping.

With the capital, backed by Jin Shang and Haitong Yinzhuang, there are some problems with manpower, but the Beizhi provinces and even the Shandong region are trapped by the disasters of the Xiaoice period? As long as it is winter and spring, there will be many displaced people who can't get by, and they will run to Jingshi City.

Every year, it is a big deal for local governments to intercept and persuade them to return, but even so, every year, Ni Er's hands will add many men who only need to fill their stomachs or their families to survive and do not want to die, this is the general trend, and no one can stop it, so as long as you think of some ways, these are not a problem.

The market is not worried, there are market channels that Zhuang Ji has already opened up, they can sell as much as they can, and there is such a huge market as the domestic market that needs to be developed urgently, such as the production of firecrackers and artillery, which is also Feng Ziying's request to Zhuang Ji, without this, Feng Ziying does not need to attach so much importance to Zhuang Ji.

Shipping is also an issue, which requires a process to solve.

In the northeast corner of Yongping Mansion, the south of Shanhaiwei is the most famous Qinhuangdao in later generations, which is also a natural harbor, Feng Ziying plans to use the guise of transporting supplies to Liaodong, and to build a port here in advance that can connect Liaodong, Korea, Japan and even the Jurchens of the East China Sea, and connect Yangzhou, Ningbo, Guangzhou, Dongfan and Nanyang, as the first city in the north to open a port!

While listening to Wu Yaoqing's introduction, Feng Ziying also asked questions, but the questions he asked were relatively tricky, which made Wu Yaoqing a little unaccustomed, but Wu Yaoqing also knew that this person was about to serve as a co-advisor, and he had to understand all aspects, especially in areas that he was not familiar with.

As soon as she said this, it took more than an hour, Feng Ziying kept all the information, and by the way, she also asked about the current situation in the hands of people.

There is no doubt about employing people, since it has been determined that Wang Wenyan is the commander-in-chief, and the other people divide labor according to their strengths and previous experiences, Feng Ziying will not interfere too much, he only needs results, but he still needs to ask about manpower and finances.

For now, Feng Ziying's activities can be said to be preparations for her appointment as the Tongzhi of Yongping Mansion, and even to her father's Jiliao military needs, and there are no things that may be involved, such as the spying of the Long Ban Lieutenant and the supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But as the affairs become more and more complicated in the future, Feng Ziying believes that it will definitely be inevitable to be mixed with sand by the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, which he only needs to be cautious about.

There are dragon forbidden lieutenants in the Feng Mansion, but Feng Ziying is not afraid, everything is within the scope of the rules, so there is no need to worry.

But what I am doing now, especially through Wang Wenyan's team, I can't see it now, but what about three or five years from now? I'm afraid that the dragon forbidden captain will inevitably be a little suspicious.

Of course, as long as he grows fast enough, and with the big mountain of his father as a cover, many things are still reasonable, but Feng Ziying is not sure if this statement can be convincing forever, especially the people of Long Forbidden Lieutenant, who are naturally aimed at what they think is a threat to the imperial power.

However, this is not a reason for Feng Ziying to retreat, not to mention that the increasingly treacherous situation in the DPRK and China also makes him believe that in the next few years, only the internal struggle of the Heavenly Family will be the focus of Long Banwei's reconnaissance, and the snooping on the movements of the generals in the army is their main goal.

And they are young like themselves, in their minds, at most, they are "banished" and then they want to prove themselves like the world, so they have to do something ingenious.

Feng Ziying is also happy to use such an image to tell the world, well, this is not a bad thing.

*******

Duan sat in the room a little bored, and it wasn't until his sister came in that he teased his eyelids and ignored the other party.

This sonorous brother is really capable, he "bought" his sister and the Shen family, and his sister has been making noise in his ears for the past two days.

But the Duan family really can't accept an imperial merchant family, in her opinion, this is far from the Shen family, and it is no longer on the same level as the Lin family, and she doesn't know what magic the Xue family woman has, so she is fascinated by Brother Keng.

Of course, she also asked someone to inquire about the situation of the Xue family, which was similar to what she guessed, although it was the original Jinling Wang family, but it had long since declined, and it was all barely maintained by the Yu Yin of the Wang family and the Jia family, and it was not comparable to the thriving Feng family at all.

She was angry with the Duan family, the daughter of the Lin family, and Lin Daiyu's weakness made her worried, but fortunately, there was a sister who came to marry her, and now the Xue family has come out again, which makes her very unwilling.

"Sister,......

"Wanqin, needless to say, I don't want to listen to your words about being a lobbyist for Brother Keng, you two just joined forces to fool me, well, and Wanjun, your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law add Brother Keng'er,......" Duan's was not without jealousy, "You are all good people, it's me, who is a mother, who comes to be a villain, haven't you seen Brother Keng'er not coming over for the past two days?" ”

Xiao Duan's laughed out loud, it seemed that his sister was really a little jealous, "Sister, Brother Keng is a piece of meat that fell from your body, can you still deal with him?" Besides, he was also busy preparing for going to Yongping, I heard Jin Chu'er say that since he went home, he has met several groups of people in the study, and he has been talking for an hour, and even the meal is brought to the study to eat, and after eating, he is watching things,......"

Duan's fox glanced at his sister suspiciously, "Really? I thought I was thinking about both. ”

"Sister, I think Brother Cong'er has a saying that is very right, in his current situation, in fact, he no longer needs to rely on his in-laws to help himself, the Shen family and the Lin family are both Jiangnan gentry families, one is a scholarly family, the other is a scholar from the Shilin Wenchen, and it is also considered a martial arts lineage, Brother Cong'er was originally the leader of the Beidi scholars, and his master is also the leader of the Beidi and Huguang scholars, in this case, what he needs is a stable backyard,......"

Xiao Duan sat next to his sister, massaging his sister's shoulders while smiling and talking in a very casual tone.

......, well, and what about our Feng family? Since the long room and the third room have been decided, there is such good news in the second room now, well, this is also Brother Keng'er himself with his own efforts,......"

As soon as Xiao Duan said this, Duan snorted a little unhappily, and Xiao Duan also smiled and stopped talking about it.

"......, but what about our Feng family? What is most needed is a woman who can give birth to the heirs of the Feng family as soon as possible to continue the incense, and a second-room lady who can get along with the Shen family and the Lin family, so that Brother Cong'er can do his big things without distractions after going to Yongping Mansion. ”

"The Shen family is pregnant, but no one knows whether it is a man or a woman, not to mention that the Lin family is young and frail, and it will take two years for the filial piety period to expire, I have also inquired about this Xue family, and the temperament is indeed gentle and generous, well, the physique is rich and healthy, and the age is only less than one year younger than Brother Keng, which is the age suitable for childbearing,......"

"Besides, my sister also knows that Brother Cong'er has a temperament, and the woman he likes must be ,......" Xiao Duan looked at Duan's, "Why does my sister need to make Brother Cong'er unhappy when he wants to go out for a few years?" If my sister likes Shen, then talk to Shen more, and if Shen comes out in the future, my sister will love him more, but my sister thinks that this Xue family is really as knowledgeable as Shen said, and my sister may not change her mind in the future,......"

I have to say that Xiao Duan's lobbyist is still quite powerful, the previous sentence that Brother Cong'er no longer needs marriage to help but needs a stable backyard to let him concentrate on doing things, and the latter sentence why let him go out for a few years before leaving makes him unhappy, all of which make Duan's heart feel a little.

Especially thinking that it will take a few years for my son to go, although it is only a few hundred miles, but after all, it is impossible to come to greet him every day like now, and I still feel a little sour in my heart, after all, my son has grown up.

Seeing his sister sighing gloomily, Xiao Duan naturally understood his sister's thoughts, "Sister, Yongping Mansion is not too far away, during the New Year's holidays and rest, Brother Cong'er can also take time to come back, that is, it will only be two or three years,......"

"Hey, thinking that Brother Cong'er will be out in two or three years, and the master is also far away in Liaodong, I panicked in my heart, Brother Cong'er is gone, who will serve him? Of course, the You sisters are going to go, and the Jin Chu'er sisters and Xiangling should go with them, the Shen family's body is becoming more and more inconvenient here, and it is more suitable for Qingwen and Yunshang to stay on the Shen side,......"

Xiao Duan's eyes rolled, "Sister, have you forgotten the Xue family?" If you can get married earlier, let the Xue family marry in and follow Brother Keng'er to Yongping Mansion, and there should be an eldest lady over there to preside over the affairs of the house,......"

Duan still didn't understand what his sister meant, glared at the other party, but finally nodded, "Let me think about this matter, and I also have to send a letter to the master, such a big matter, I can't call the shots alone, if the master agrees, then I will follow Brother Keng." ”
