Feng Ziying hadn't completely thought about the arrangements for these people.

The key is your identity and position.

It is only after the expiration of the period of observing politics next year that I can clarify where I will go in the next few years.

Since I've come to this world, I don't seem to be sorry for myself if I don't do something decent, especially in troubled times.

Don't they all say that heroes come out of troubled times? It's not that hard to be a hero, is it?

Isn't it fragrant to take a look at it first, accumulate strength, and wait until the right time to soar into the sky?

Sometimes Feng Ziying can't see clearly, and now the Great Zhou Dynasty is not the end of the dynasty.

If the Great Zhou Dynasty is regarded as the continuation of the former Ming Dynasty, it is definitely in the last days, and from the rise of the Jurchens in Liaodong, the Japanese people on the sea are eyeing each other, the Tusi rebellion in the southwest is imminent, and the Mongols outside the Saiwai are still strong, coupled with the internal infighting between the emperor and the emperor plus a-stirring stick Prince Yizhong and the situation that the finances are on the verge of collapse, it feels even more dangerous than the end of the Ming Dynasty in the previous life.

But if the Great Zhou is counted as a complete dynasty, less than a hundred years after the founding of the country, it should not be the end of the period, and although the internal and external troubles are very serious, there are many that are different from the end of the Ming Dynasty.

That is, from Emperor Yuanxi to Emperor Yonglong, these two emperors belong to the normal role of IQ online, and the level of civil officials is not bad, and the key is that the intensity of party struggle between them is far less than the life-and-death state at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the control of the army is also in line with the norm, that is, it is still in a state that can be saved.

Although the finances were in difficulty, at least everyone from the emperor to the cabinet realized that they could not continue like this, and that they needed to replenish the finances through reform and improvement.

A dynasty that is willing to accept innovation and improvement, even if it is only a certain degree of reform, Feng Ziying feels that there is still hope.

Because of this, Feng Ziying is willing to try to work hard, of course, he also needs to observe the changes in the situation at any time, if it really reaches the point of being out of control, of course he will not accompany anyone to the funeral, it is not very in line with his current mentality, but when it really comes to that point, I am afraid there is no choice.

But no matter what, people like Wang Wenyan will be of great use in the future.

"Sit down, Wenyan, what are we polite about?"

Feng Ziying entered the flower hall and looked around.

This house is found by Tuo Ni Er, which is a temporary place to settle for these people, next to Fengcheng Hutong not far from the West Courtyard Gouqian Hutong, and Fengcheng Hutong is separated by a Terracotta Hutong.

Originally, it was also a big family, but the owner died, there was no son-in-law, and a few concubines were making trouble to divide the family, and this mansion was the most valuable, so it was simply sold, and everyone took the silver to find their own place.

Sanjin Compound, with a separate courtyard outside, and the location is relatively remote, so Feng Ziying simply bought it as their foothold.

Even if you are not sure what you will do in the future or where you will go for the time being, you must grasp the situation in this Jingshi City no matter what.

People have no long-term worries, they must have near-term worries, they are seventeen years old, from the sixth grade, that also has to be prepared for the second and third grades after the age of thirty.

And intelligence information gathering is often the most important, whether it is a friend or an ally, or a partner, and of course, an enemy and an adversary.

Lin Ruhai can use a few of them as staff members for six or seven years, so they are naturally reliable in all aspects, and now that this staff team has been handed over to him, the scope of work and fields will be different in the future, but everything remains the same, from a certain point of view, Feng Ziying hopes to give full play to their own talents and assist themselves in all aspects in the future.

Needless to say, people like Wu Yaoqing, Gu Dengfeng and others can play a greater role.

Needless to say, Jiangnan, but in the north, especially in the nine border places such as Jingshicheng, Beizhi, Shandong, and Liaodong, all aspects of intelligence must be collected in a targeted manner, of course, the information Feng Ziying wants may not be consistent with the intelligence clues of the Ministry of War and the Criminal Department, he has his own requirements and standards.

Gu Dengfeng did not follow the north this time, also because there are still many relationships in the south that need to be maintained.

This is also Feng Ziying's special explanation, as soon as the staff team goes north, the original relationship, especially many relationships on the official side, will be broken, and it will not be easy to continue in the future, especially Gu Dengfeng has the entire Nanzhili, Huguang and Jiangxi, which is a very valuable grassroots official and official resources, which can be said to be extremely important.

And Qian Guisheng's role is just as important.

For example, the Jin merchants had established extremely close commercial contacts with the Mongols and the Jianzhou Jurchens, and they purchased a large number of various materials for their military and livelihood through some scum of the Jin merchants, such as iron, tea, salt, and even weapons and armor, which became an important source of materials for them.

There were also many people who colluded with these Mongols and Jurchens in the border army, and many of the materials in the direct generals were sold to these foreign enemies, and some people even became their potential contacts and internal lines, otherwise why could the power of the Jianzhou Jurchens grow in such a short period of time.

Qian Guisheng appeared as a big smuggler in Yangzhou, and because of this, he was able to come into contact with many unknown secrets, and also provided some secret channels for capital exchange and intelligence collection for the two Huai Salt Envoys.

Now that Lin Ruhai is gone, he has lost the source of salt and salt, and it is difficult for Qiao women to cook without rice, so naturally they can only be interrupted, but many channel resources are still there.

Feng Ziying now wants him to connect these channels first, and even connect some resources in the north with the channels in the south, so that he can enter the Jin merchants and border army system from the channels of commercial exchanges, in order to obtain more sources of intelligence.

Like the Feng family's own business, it can't be hidden from the imperial court, and Feng Ziying of Haitong Yinzhuang doesn't expect to hide it from the imperial court, but Qian Guisheng's part, Feng Ziying is ready to cultivate it in secret.

Qian Guisheng has always been very secretive in Lin Ruhai's original system, except for Lin Ruhai and Wang Wenyan knowing, even Wu Yaoqing and Cao Yu only know that there is such a person, but what is the name of this person, what is it, they don't know, Qian Guisheng never appears in the yamen publicly, basically meets Lin Ruhai or Wang Wenyan alone.

Like today, there are only three people, Wang Wenyan, Wu Yaoqing and Cao Yu, and Qian Guisheng did not show up.

For Wang Wenyan and them, this trip to the north is a challenge.

Tao Guolu swept them out of the house, of course, Tao Guolu couldn't do it for long, but no matter who went to the salt transportation to make the yamen at the helm, they would definitely not be able to use these "remnants of the previous dynasty", Lin Ruhai found such a way for them before leaving, and he didn't know how.

Don't be afraid to do things, Wang Wenyan and they are also confident that they can do things, what is the problem, when Feng Ziying was in Yangzhou, she could still rely on the banner of opening the sea in the Chinese calligraphy department to do something, but now that the matter of opening the sea has gradually calmed down, Feng Ziying has also faded out and become a pure Hanlin Academy revision, so what is the value of these people?

And they came thousands of miles north, they didn't know the place well, they had to start everything from scratch, and now they don't even know what to do, okay?

Seeing that Wang Wenyan and the four of them were a little silent, Feng Ziying also roughly understood their worries, if they lost their usefulness, would she still support them?

"Well, let's get straight to the point, it's a last resort to invite them to go north so soon, I'm afraid we need to do some things soon, and time is running out." Feng Ziying said with a smile, he knew that these words were probably the most impressive to them.

"Oh?" Sure enough, the eyes of the three of them lit up, they were not afraid of being busy, they were not afraid of being tired, they were afraid that they had nothing to do, and now Feng Ziying actually said that time is not waiting for me, and they need to do it immediately, which means that the other party has already planned to use a few of them, which makes people down-to-earth.

"My lord, are you in such a hurry?"

Wang Wenyan is actually the most determined in his heart, although Feng Ziying didn't mention too much to him about the specific things to do, but in Yangzhou, he decided that Feng Ziying was going to achieve something great, and it was definitely not constrained by the idle functions of the Hanlin Academy, so although he was a little nervous in his heart, he was much stronger than Wu Yaoqing and Cao Yu.

"Well, you may all know that my father just went to Liaodong to take up the post of governor of Jiliao, and he brought a few of his mistakes from the two towns of Datong and Yulin, but the internal strife in the various departments of the Liaodong Army is serious, and Li Chengliang does not pay enough attention to the firearms troops, so that the Liaodong Army has been at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the Jianzhou Jurchens, and the Jianzhou Jurchens and the Mongolian left wing have long been pervasive in the infiltration and bribery of the border troops in the towns of Jiliao Xuanda, and they have also colluded with the Jin merchants, and the strength and mobilization of our border army are not a secret to the Jurchens and Mongolia, However, we know little about them, the strength of the Ministry of War is very weak on the Jurchen side, and the investigation of the situation on the Mongolian side is not even as accurate and fast as the father through his own private channels, how can we win the war against the Jurchens and Mongolia in such a situation? ”

Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing are all delicious, no wonder this one is so confident, it turns out that he has been prepared for a long time.

The son of the governor of Jiliao, how did they forget this identity?

Thinking of the opening of the sea in Chinese calligraphy, and thinking of Xiao Feng of the Hanlin Academy, he forgot that there is a more prominent father behind him!

The Yulin General Army is just that, but now it has become the Governor of Jiliao and the General Army of Liaodong, the entire Liaodong has been extended to the eastern half of the North Zhili, all of which are under the rule of the Governor of Jiliao, the upper management of the army and the lower management of the people, more than 100,000 troops in their hands, facing the Jurchen departments and the Mongolian left wing departments, the most powerful army in the hands of the entire Great Zhou is this Jiliao Governor, which can be described as a moment of power.

"My lord, what are you going to do now?" Wu Yaoqing, who was extremely excited, couldn't help but lick his lips, as long as there was something to do, it would be easy to say.

Seeing that several people were a little excited, Feng Ziying smiled confidently.

"There's a lot to do, and I'm afraid you don't have enough manpower. You all know the things on Jiliao's side, then I'll talk about Jiliao and Beizhili's side first, I said before, Jiliao is deaf and blind in the face of Jurchen and Mongolia, and the Ministry of War is very weak, of course, this also has a lot to do with their simple and rough methods, so I hope you rely on Jiliao to quickly establish a continuous strength, well, you can figure out the specific methods yourself, set up a caravan caravan on your own, rely on the Jin merchants you were familiar with, or use both, All in all, we must quickly pull up a team of people, and under the cover of making a living, we will start doing business with the Jurchens and the Mongols as soon as possible, but you all know the purpose,......"

Seeing that Wang Wenyan and Wu Yaoqing both nodded, Feng Ziying knew that they understood what they meant, "I will have a secret letter with him on my father's side, and he will make it as convenient for you as possible, and you can also become a businessman who has a special relationship with the governor of Jiliao, this is a common practice in the border areas, Li Chengliang is like this, and my father will naturally be like this, so it will not arouse the suspicion of the Jurchens and Mongolia,......"

Wang Wenyan hesitated for a moment, "My lord, ...... the dragon forbidden lieutenant?" ”

If you do this kind of thing, you will definitely not be able to hide it from Long Banwei, so Wang Wenyan will remind you.

"On the side of the Long Forbidden Lieutenant, I have my own countermeasures, and the situation on the Liaodong side, the Long Forbidden Lieutenant also knows that as long as it is not too taboo, it is not a big problem, Li Chengliang is so presumptuous, and I haven't seen the Long Forbidden Lieutenant and the Metropolitan Procuratorate do anything to him?" Feng Ziying sneered, "You should also pay attention to things when you do things, mainly to buy fur gold sand medicinal materials, and you need to be selective when selling goods to the Jurchens, making money is not our goal, intelligence is our goal, how to operate, I believe I don't need to remind you." ”

"Understood." Wang Wenyan bowed.

"In addition, it's from Beizhili's side." Feng Ziying took a deep breath.

He went to visit Qiao Yingjia yesterday.

Qiao Yingjia's attitude is very clear, because the matter of opening the sea has too much impact on the south, and now the north has not seen clear benefits, the attitude of many Beidi scholars has changed a little, which is very unfavorable to Feng Ziying.

Guan Yingzhen is a Huguang person is better, but if the northern scholars like Lian Guoshi, Fan Jingwen and Feng Ziying are still jumping up and down to rush for various affairs of the opening of the sea, I am afraid that it will arouse the dissatisfaction of the northern scholars, so the best way is to avoid staying in the court, and it is more appropriate to go down to avoid the limelight.

This news made Feng Ziying a little surprised, the imperial court is now full of oil, and the profits are huge, but they are unwilling to defend themselves more?

Now such a good thing has become that the northern scholars are dissatisfied with themselves?

Isn't there anything greasy here?

Are you really dissatisfied with the strategy of opening the sea, or are you dissatisfied with yourself as a person?

But Qiao Yingjia did not give a clear answer, only said that no matter from which point of view, it is the best choice to go to the place by yourself.

Of course, Feng Ziying knows that going to a place is the best place for him, and he is also willing to go down to a place to exercise and polish.

It's just that in this situation, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you have been kicked out of the court, which makes him very unhappy.

Although he also knew that it would be more beneficial for him to leave in such a way, at least it would make the emperor and the cabinet indebted to him, and he would naturally compensate for it in the future.
