inquired about the candidate to take over the Liaofu, and he thought that the new Liaofu would interfere in the establishment of the state, indirectly protect Ye He, and prevent Dongge from marrying Khalkha.

There are still six years before Nurhachi's "Seven Hatreds" rebellion, and in these six years, the black-faced old man is still patient and obedient to the Ming Dynasty, which can be seen from the fact that Shang Bozhi's guy can be powerful in Jianzhou.

Then, if the new Liaofu can be persuaded to intervene in the war between Jianzhou and Yehe, Liangchen is ninety percent sure that Dongge, an "old woman", can continue to be her Jurchen mature and expensive, instead of being depressed and dying of illness after marrying Mongolia.

In the final analysis, Dong Ge's death was due to despair.

As long as there is hope, Dong Ge can hold on.

Liangchen is affectionate, no matter what, Dongge and him have a friendship relationship that surpasses that of comrades, coupled with Wu Xiuzhi's matter, Liangchen really can't bear to lose Dongge, a strategic partner.

As for digging up the corner of the cheap teacher Yang Hao, Liangchen actually wanted to do it for a long time.

Jiang Fangyin is a good person, he has been a lifelong staff member for Yang Hao as a person, he is sleek, has excellent administrative ability, and is a rare talent.

If you are more honest, Jiang Fangyin suffers a loss, because he is just a person, not a jinshi, otherwise he will never be mixed up for a lifetime, and he can only be a staff member for others.

People like him, as long as they have the opportunity, will definitely be able to make a splash.

It's a pity that the Ming Dynasty talked about academic qualifications, such as those from such a high background, even if they were talented, they were mostly unknown to the world. Over the past 200 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Hai Rui and Wang Zhen have moved the world with their fame.

The previous Jiang Fangyin worked for the governor, and it was not easy to dig up good ministers. Now that Yang Hao has returned to his hometown, Jiang Fangyin, a part-time worker and an unstaffed staff, has no job, and when will it take for Liangchen to dig people again.

With the "teacher-student" relationship between him and Yang Hao, Yang Hao has no reason to let people go. Moreover, the relationship between the benefactor and the staff is a cooperative relationship, not a master-servant relationship, Jiang Fangyin is a free man, and he is not willing to accompany Yang Hao to sink for more than ten years.

As long as Jiang Fangyin is willing to come, the good minister will be in a high position.

With his status as a eunuch guarding Jiangnan Town, as long as Jiang Fangyin doesn't care what others think of him, it will not be difficult for a good minister to protect him with a four- or five-grade official position in three or five years.

As far as the current situation is concerned, the position of the chief steward of the town guarding his father-in-law is none other than Jiang Fangyin.

Before Chen Mo left, Liangchen instructed him to send someone to Shenyang to try his best to get a part of Yang Hao's Flying Tiger Army placed in Shenyang Zhongwei to go south. If you need to do something, don't worry about it, even if you spend money.

The left and right have already spent millions of taels out, and Liangchen is not short of this little money. After returning from Zhoushan, it was his top priority to expand the imperial army into divisions, otherwise, he would not be able to cope with the upcoming expedition to the Eastern Domain and the Ryukyus.

Undoubtedly, what is most needed for the expansion of the army is men and horses with actual combat experience, and the Flying Tiger Army is a good supplement to the source of troops.

……..

After Chen Mo left, Liangchen went to the town guard yamen under construction accompanied by Zheng Duo and others to take a look, the project started six days ago, and it is still laying the foundation and transporting various construction equipment.

Thanks to last year's road leveling plan for the Maritime Special Zone, the main roads in the Special Economic Zone have been basically bricked (slabs), and some materials needed for construction, such as stones and sand, have been stored. In addition, three new kiln factories have been built, with a daily output of more than 30,000 bricks, and timber is either harvested or purchased, and there is no problem in the short term.

Because of his ignorance of cement technology, Liangchen did not let the craftsmen experiment with a pat on the head, and only planned everything in the special zone with the existing building conditions.

To this end, a total of more than 90,000 taels were invested, and in addition to the expenses of "buying" the Wusong water camp, the boatloads of money obtained from Chen Zeng, the superintendent of mines in Shandong, were basically exhausted.

At present, the money spent mainly comes from the extortion income from Zhenjiang and the income from Yangzhou loans, and more than 30,000 taels were spent in order to distribute the New Year's benefits to the military and civilians at the end of the year, and the balance is now not counting the money for the goods stolen from Zhoushan, and there are only more than 140,000 taels on the account.

It can be said that the daily expenses are golden.

The only good news is that the SAR has already settled in the SAR and the first fleet of ships destined for the Ryukyus has set sail, and if the transaction can be carried out smoothly, the SAR will be able to make more than 40,000 yuan after deducting the profits of the merchants.

The fleet set off on the day of the Lantern Festival, with 17 large and small sea vessels, of which the armed escort was a three-masted gunboat, two blessing boats, three copper winch boats, and more than 600 officers and men.

In the past, the cargo ships of Jiangnan merchants were directly bound for trading with local maritime merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang, but now they are going directly to the Ryukyus to remove the middlemen of Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants, which is also a brand-new attempt for merchants on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Liangchen didn't go to send the fleet in person, because it was the first time, so he wanted to keep a low profile and not attract attention.

The contact between Shen and Shen has not been broken, and the four Ming ministers have already revealed to the emperor that he Wei Liangchen should preside over the southeast expansion of the sea, which has been euphemistically expressed by the inner servants who came to Wusong to announce the decree before.

Wanli did not make the major event of expanding the sea in the southeast into a holy decree, let alone announced the six ministries of the cabinet, and even the garrison ministers on the southern capital did not know.

In this regard, Liangchen expressed his understanding.

Compared with Wanli's great decentralization, it is correct to keep it secret.

In Fujian and Zhejiang, Shen's consistent intervention will definitely be able to suppress those with vested interests, and if things succeed, it will also be beneficial to those with vested interests.

Everyone wants to make more money, and no one wants others to share his profits, so making the plate bigger is in line with the interests of all parties.

Looking at the essence through the appearance, this time the southeast sea expansion initiated by the four Ming Xianggong and the Jiangnan town guard eunuch was actually using the power of the Ming Dynasty for private gain.

It's just that there is a surname Zhu in this private person.

The reason is thorough, everyone understands, and things will not change much.

The military leaders of Zhejiang are still two hardliners against Japan, that is, the gentry and wealthy families are opposed by everyone, and they are afraid that these two hardliners against Japan will also take the initiative to lean on the side of Gonggong Wei.

The first step that Shen had always agreed upon was to occupy the Eastern Domain, cut off the shipping between the north and the south, and set up customs and cards to collect taxes, and the time was set for May.

The operation will be carried out by the Royal Navy and the Water Battalion Guard under the jurisdiction of the Zhejiang General Army, and dozens of warships will also be dispatched from Fujian to cooperate.

The coordination and liaison with the civil and military forces of Zhejiang and Fujian is a consistent matter for Shen.

Liangchen only needs to pull the Royal Navy to Penghu in May.

In fact, although Wanli kept the matter of expanding the sea in the southeast a secret, the foreign dynasty still saw some signs from the emperor's establishment of the Jiangnan town to guard the eunuchs.

Shoufu Ye wrote to Gao Shangshu Wanli to oppose this matter, and Wanli stayed in the middle and did not send it.

Three days later, Ye Xianggao entered the palace alone, and the monarch and ministers had a conversation on the platform outside the Qianqing Palace.

A few days later, there was a decree to send a horse to Jiangnan quickly, ordering Wei Liangchen to return to the teachers and students of Donglin Academy and the officials of Taicang.
