Looking at Shi Kefa's respectful appearance in front of him, Xu Changqing was not half complacent, but there was some unspeakable sadness in his heart.

This lord is really a tragedy.

In another time and space, the land under his feet is his sad place, even if he tried his best, he still failed to stop the wild boar skin's soldiers, but it was 'Yangzhou Ten Days', which opened the prelude to the sorrow of Nanming......

"Huh. Ge Lao, you love it. By the way, there was a thing before, I have always wanted to discuss with you Ge Lao, but I have never had the opportunity, today, it just so happens that there is plenty of time, Ge Lao I don't know if I have the mind, listen to Changqing? ”

Xu Changqing quickly adjusted his mentality, looked at Shi Kefa with a smile, and entered the real topic.

"Master Hou, please speak, listen to me."

Shi Kefa also came back to his senses and looked at Xu Changqing solemnly.

Even if Xu Changqing had already expressed his position at this time, before the water fell and the stone came out, he would never dare to take it lightly!

The young man in front of him is really a tiger wolf!

Xu Changqing didn't mind Shi Kefa's attitude, and even his attitude made Xu Changqing feel more at ease......

Said with a smile: "Elder Ge, that's the case, this battle of Nine Immortals Mountain, you must have read the detailed battle report, although my Ming Dynasty won, but the price paid is not heavy, let alone painless." Grandpa Yansheng is also the number one person, but he is a little thinner. Changqing had been thinking before, if there was a court member who knew the soldiers and was good at the southeast line, would the effect be much better? ”

"This ......"

Shi Kefa's pupils dilated violently, how could he have thought that Xu Changqing didn't want to pinch him and threaten the court, but to throw him such a big fat difference.

To be honest, even if you are the first assistant, Shi Kefa has already done enough.

For him, the name of Shousuke did not bring him any effect, but made him confined to that small space like a caged bird, unable to stretch his legs and keep up, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

And Xu Changqing actually gave him such a brilliant idea at this time!

Even if he goes out to sit in the town, he is still on the front line of Lunan, and he is very likely to face big risks, and his reputation may not be guaranteed, but he can do what he really wants to do, and really do something for the country and the people!

was a little stunned by Xu Changqing's big pie, but Shi Kefa was not stunned, he was not carried away, he pondered for a long time, and said: "Master Hou, this matter is a great good." It's just that I don't know, this patrol envoy, let's call it a patrol envoy for the time being, what kind of errand is he responsible for? ”

Xu Changqing had already prepared, opened the map on the wall, and said with a smile: "Ge Lao, you see, Changqing means to connect Qufu, Jining, including this part of the Central Plains, and the front line of Kaifeng, to train the new army, to rectify the rule of officials, and to rectify military affairs." This is similar to the trilateral governor of Hong Chengchou back then. Together, these regions should be enough to establish the level of a governor, right? ”

Saying that, Xu Changqing continued to explain: "Pavilion Elder, mainly Changqing and the model army, it is really difficult to separate, and it is necessary to deal with the positive situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If these places can be connected and connected into a line, the evergreen and model armies can also sit back and relax and make every effort to lay out the battle situation ahead! ”

……

Shi Kefa stayed at Xu Changqing's side for almost an hour before leaving, and in the guest hall outside, Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi couldn't wait, but fortunately, big guys like them had long been accustomed to this.

Moreover, instead of blaming Xu Changqing for the matter, he will become more and more vigilant against Shi Kefa.

While waiting for Ma Shiying to come over, Xu Changqing was also quickly sorting out his thoughts. Releasing Shi Kefa from Nanjing, Xu Changqing was by no means untargeted, but the result of careful consideration.

Because in the current Nanjing cabinet, there is only Shi Kefa, who has no backstage and is the most innocent.

On the surface, he represents the interests of the entire Jiangnan, but if you really want to be specific, who will dump him?

Although Shi Kefa's military affairs are not very good, but his temperament is very good, more fierce and strong, very suitable for dealing with military affairs, mainly in the current year and a half, it is difficult for the Qing Kingdom to have the spare strength to launch an offensive against the Ming Dynasty, which can give Shi Kefa a lot of time to be familiar with and operate.

If Shi Kefa sits in the position of governor or patrol envoy, he will not only be more famous, but also make maximum use of the resources of the imperial court, and he will definitely be able to really accomplish something.

As for the military affairs in it-

Xu Changqing was not worried at all.

The layout of the skeleton officers of the model army has basically taken shape, and the core positions in these areas, not to mention that the main post must be a model army, but the second-in-command deputy position must be a model army.

Even if Shi Kefa really has great skills, Xu Changqing is not afraid, not to mention that Shi Gebu is just a nerd......

……

"Master Hou, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your demeanor is better than before."

"Hehe, Ma Ge Lao, you praise it falsely, Ma Ge Lao is high-spirited, which makes people envious."

Ma Shiying quickly rushed over.

For Ma Shiying, who is deep in the city government, knows how to be powerful, and knows the secrets of officialdom, Xu Changqing doesn't need to be polite too much, simply greet, the maid serves tea, and the two of them go straight to the point.

Xu Changqing will explain the basic trip to Shi Kefa directly, and directly explain it to Ma Shiying.

"This ......"

Ma Shiying was also a little stunned, as if he didn't expect that Xu Changqing would give up such a terrifying interest so easily.

But he is not Shi Kefa, after thinking for a while, he looked at Xu Changqing's eyes and said respectfully: "Master Hou, what do you mean......"

Xu Changqing wiped the matcha cup unhurriedly, "Elder Ge, Changqing's meaning is very simple, it's one thing!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Changqing pointed to his feet.

Ma Shiying's face changed again, and he frowned tightly.

Of course, he understands Xu Changqing's deep meaning, it is the Lianghuai salt industry!

Even he had to admire Xu Changqing's old spiciness, and precision, it was just a hit on the point, and he sealed his throat with a sword!

It seems to be giving up some big things, but it is more practical to hold on to a chicken that can lay golden eggs.

For this matter, to a large extent, Ma Shiying is not unacceptable, because the current state of the two Huai is no longer under their control.

But he still wants to resist!

After all, it's not a bit to be able to snatch it back?

After pondering for a long time, he looked at Xu Changqing's eyes and said: "Master Hou, the two Huai salt matters are directly related to my Ming lifeline, and the matter is big, so you must be cautious and cautious." ”

"Huh."

Xu Changqing smiled and took a sip of tea slowly: "Elder Ge, Changqing also knows that this matter is very important, so he invited Grandpa Yansheng and Lunan and other wealthy businessmen and gentry to do this together." Moreover, this matter is not to do things absolutely and eat alone! Some people have already eaten the 'nine out of thirteen returns' for 200 years, do they still don't want to give up some oil and water in such a situation? ”

"This ......"

Ma Shiying's face changed again and again, cloudy and uncertain.

Xu Changqing's words are straightforward enough, and it has also saved enough face for many of them, if he still doesn't know how to lift and refuses to let go, then he really doesn't know how to lift......

But how could Ma Ge Lao do something that he didn't know how to lift?

After pondering for a long time, he said: "Master Hou, I don't know, how should this share be distributed?" ”

"Huh."

Xu Changqing sneered: "This, it depends on fate!" ”

“……”

Ma Shiying was speechless for a while, and for a while, he said heavily but relaxedly: "Master Hou, the old man knows......"

……

Ma Shiying only stayed with Xu Changqing for less than half an hour before going out, Qian Qianyi has always been Xu Changqing's dog, and the time is even shorter, not even a quarter of an hour.

However, even if the efficiency has been accelerated a lot, by the time the three bigwigs are done, it has already reached the meal, and the salt merchants who are almost waiting here with the elders are a little anxious.

It is those salt merchants who have a lot of entanglements with Ma Shiying, and they are all the same at this time.

Because after Ma Shiying came out, he didn't say anything at all, and left directly.

This makes the people, who are not too down-to-earth, feel more and more like pins and needles.

The key is that there will be a banquet tonight, and they are waiting here, and they have nothing to eat for lunch, so they can only go hungry......

"No way!"

"Guys, guys, we can't sit back like this anymore. Yesterday, the Marquis of Haicheng clearly promised us that he would sit down and talk to us. But today, the Marquis of Haicheng has obviously broken his promise, we must ask for an explanation! ”

"Yes, it is reasonable, the Marquis of Haicheng should meet us and listen to our appeals, what is going on with such a one-size-fits-all calculation? What is fair and just? ”

"Everyone, let's work together, we have to meet the Marquis of Haicheng, otherwise, the Lianghuai salt industry will be in danger......"

The salt merchants quickly became agitated, and after a short time, they gathered with great momentum, and went directly to Qin Dongxu, who was on duty here, to find an explanation.

Although these people are not officials, most of them have meritorious reputations, and most of them are even lifters, even if the situation is not too favorable to them at this time, they are not too afraid, and they are still aggressive.

As if he had moved himself, the network behind him had come to life, covering the sky and the sun.

In the corner, Wang Fuchun, who deliberately pretended to be sick and disguised as a servant today, showed a sneer at the corner of his mouth.

With their little means, do they still want to be tough with the Marquis of Haicheng, who is the mighty world? Isn't this fucking old birthday star hanging himself - he thinks he's long-lived?

"Stop!"

"What do you want to do?"

"Model army station, whoever dares to break in, don't be killed!"

"Boom!"

Qin Dongxu would definitely not let these people, as he shouted an order, the pro-soldiers on duty directly and tyrannically pushed them away, and immediately a steel knife was already unsheathed, and the swarthy mouths of many bird-gun soldiers behind him were also aimed at them.

This instantly stopped the arrogance of the salt merchants, and they looked at me one by one, I looked at you, and no one dared to be this budding bird anymore.

"Hey, insult Sven, insult Sven......"

Some people couldn't help beating their chests and sighing, like mourning.

At this time, several presidents touched some doorways, and there was a humane: "Everyone, everyone, the Marquis of Haicheng met one after another in the morning, and he must have been very tired, let's be a little unkind at this time, let's go back and prepare first, and then come over to meet the Marquis of Haicheng in the evening." ”

Everyone was not stupid, and they soon understood the meaning of the presidents, and after some gestures, they all left quickly.

Except for Wang Fuchun, no one stayed.

Even the people of Wang Fuchun's family, no one stayed, and they all had a gap with him overnight.

Wang Fuchun didn't realize it, just leaned against the corner and waited patiently.
