"This Fuqing Zhixian Zhou Kangeng is a talent who does things." Zhu Youzhen looked at the music in his hand and couldn't help but burst out of a sentence.

Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youzhen in a good mood, so he asked playfully, "What did Zhou Zhixian do this week to make His Majesty so appreciative." ”

Zhu Youzhen said casually: "Fuqing County has suffered from thieves for many years, and after Kan Geng took office this week, he secretly ordered several witty and brave county officials to arrest them quickly, and mixed into the pirate group, as an undercover agent, after finding out the situation of the pirate group. Just when the pirate gang was gathering, they gathered and annihilated them all in one fell swoop, and even the pirate capital was captured.

It's very good, Zhou Kangeng's leadership is good, and those few people who catch fast are also very good. Zhou Kangeng's merits will be put aside first, you ordered these arresters to be transferred to the capital, they can break into the pirate gang without being discovered, and there are always some tips that can be passed on to the investigators of the Social Investigation Institute. ”

Wang Chengen immediately said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty's magic eyes are like torches, and these catches can quickly enter Your Majesty's vision, which is really a virtue accumulated in the previous life." After His Majesty's hand-picking, wouldn't they become golden carp that jumped over the dragon gate. ”

Zhu Youzhen just smiled slightly, then put down the chapter and said: "Jinyiwei and Dongchang have been in the capital for too long, and all the bad atmosphere in the imperial capital officialdom is the same as Jinyiwei and Dongchang, but it is just a matter of degree.

In the future, both the Jinyiwei and the Social Investigation Institute will need to absorb fresh blood from the local or military forces, and the people of the Jinyiwei and the Social Investigation Institute will also have to move downwards to drive the mediocre people who eat and wait for death to the localities.

I want a smart and capable army, not a nursing home. ”

Hearing Chongzhen's criticism, Wang Chengen suddenly restrained his smile and said in a panic: "The minister is ineffective, and he has failed His Majesty's entrustment, it is really..."

"What are your sins, it's only been a few months since you took over the East Factory. It's this brocade guard, although I have been divided into two, but there are no eye-catching changes. Although Luo Yangxing is young, he can't see the vitality of doing things. ”

Although Wang Chengen was eager to intervene directly in Jinyiwei, he soon came to his senses.

Even the former Dongchang was divided into the Social Investigation Institute and the Ming Times by Chongzhen, which shows that Chongzhen's personality is very different from that of the previous Ming Emperor. In Wang Chengen's view, Chongzhen lacks trust in anyone.

Whether it is the Apocalypse or Taichang or the Wanli Emperor, they are either close to the ministers or close to the foreign ministers, and they are always willing to believe in people.

Even in the past, before His Majesty ascended the throne, he was willing to believe in himself or those scholars from the Donglin Party.

But since His Majesty ascended the throne, Wang Chengen has found that whether it is inside or outside the court, Chongzhen can employ people but never believes in people.

Wang Chengen, who gradually understood Chongzhen's character, quickly extinguished the idea of completely controlling Jinyiwei, because he knew that by doing so, not only would he not get the power to control Jinyiwei, but he would also lose Chongzhen's favor to himself now.

Wang Chengen thought for a while, and then said: "The old minister thinks that although this Tian Ergeng has made mistakes, it is not bad to do things, so it is better to let him take charge again..."

Chongzhen shook his head, and Wang Chengen suddenly stopped. Only then did Zhu Youzhen say: "Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun can no longer be in charge of Jinyiwei, they have made too many mistakes before, and they have become the target of public criticism."

Let them come forward to take charge of Jinyiwei again, I'm afraid Jinyiwei will become the focus of public opinion in the government and the opposition again, isn't this nothing to look for?

However, this time the Beijing camp mutiny, Jin Yiwei didn't notice it, it was too undeserved, and took this opportunity to let Luo Yangxing go down to exercise and get in touch with the earth. ”

"What does Your Majesty mean?" Wang Chengen asked expectantly.

Zhu Youzhen stood up and walked to the wall, where there was a copy of the "Ming Mixed One Map" that he found from the treasure house, this world map was drawn in the 22nd year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, and since then the emperors of the past dynasties have not had such ambition to draw a more accurate map.

After Zhu Youzhen distinguished for a long time, he pointed to Xuanfu Town, which was 400 miles northwest of the capital, and said: "Although Jiannu occupies a vast area, the population is insufficient, which is his congenital disadvantage. After its annexation of the five Khalkha tribes in Mongolia, daily necessities such as grain, cloth, ironware, and salt will inevitably be even more insufficient.

The Mongols surrendered to him, although they were forced by the strength of the Later Jin, but no matter how strong the force was, it could not be used as food or clothing. The Mongols are not Han Chinese, they themselves are nomads, and once they cannot get the supply of living materials from Houjin, they will definitely rebel against Houjin again.

Jiannu wants to get enough living materials, first, it is taken from North Korea, and Wang Huazhen and Xu Xinsu are restrained again, and in the future, Houjin's income will definitely be much worse than before.

The second is to take it from Liaodong, there are Wang Zaijin, Mangui, and Wang Zhichen to rectify the Liaodong army, and then cut off the policy of Ningjin Tuntian, and Houjin will inevitably no longer be able to get help.

The third is Zhangjiakou's commerce, as soon as the five departments of Inner Khalkha go, this Zhangjiakou's original mutual market with Mongolia may become the pocket of Houjin after passing through Mongolia. ”

Wang Chengen suddenly said with some righteous indignation: "These border army generals don't know anything, they either kill the good and take the merits, or connive at the merchants to feed the enemy. The minister thought that it was better to arrest them and interrogate them well to deter the lawbreakers on the nine sides. ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly knocked on his head and said, "As soon as you said it, I remembered it." Since Wang Huazhen has been released, Xiong Tingbi's head will be handed over to his son to take back and bury.

Wang Eryu, the county magistrate of Jiangxia, forced Xiong Zhaoqi to die by himself, and stripped off the clothes of the maidservants beside Xiong's wife and beat the board, his character was a little too despicable. The emperor's brother killed Tingbi because of his bad state affairs, and this bastard did this, which really hurt the emperor's brother's face.

You will pass on the decree for me later, Xiong Tingbi caused state affairs because of personal prejudices, and his crime deserves death. But Xiong Tingbi also had merit in Liaodong at the beginning. The ancients said: If you have merit, you should be rewarded, and if you have a mistake, you will be punished.

Since Xiong Tingbi is dead, his sin is self-extinguished. Xu Qi's son received his head for burial, remembered his past merits, restored the grace of his wife and son, and ordered the local government to return the farmhouse, stop recovering the stolen goods, and give a pension of 3,000 taels.

As for Wang Eryu, the magistrate of Jiangxia, let the cabinet find an excuse and drive him home, so that this matter does not have to be written on the holy decree. ”

Wang Chengen cautiously complimented: "Your Majesty is really a benevolent lord, presumably Xiong Tingbi Jiuquan will also thank Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Youzhen didn't answer, and was silent for a while before saying: "I don't expect this kind of thing, it's just a little comfort to the family." By the way, it was announced to the world that in the future, the punishment of taking off a woman's clothes and hitting a board would be abolished, and as long as the offender was not involved in a reverse case, the case should not be tried in public. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youzhen continued to look at the map and said: "Let's go back to Xuanfu Town, Xuanfu General Soldier Heiyunlong, Wanquan Dusi Palm Seal Shen Jiye, Qincha Governor Xuanfu and other places Zanli Military Affairs Department Right Attendant and Metropolitan Procuratorate Right Inspector Du Yushi Li Yangchong."

Just a Xuanhua City, there are three military and political officials sitting in the town, naturally because the location of Xuanfu Town is extremely important, the Great Wall under the jurisdiction of Xuanfu Town starts from Yongguan Sihaizhi in the east, and reaches the Xiyang River in Yanggao County, the northeast corner of Shanxi Province in the west, which is more than 1,000 miles long.

Xuanfu Town is the first barrier in the northwest of Beijing, when Mongolia was strong in the past, the road taken to enter the customs and invade must be Xuanfu and Datong.

After the Longqing Peace Conference, it has been almost 60 years since the Xuanda land was not in the flames of war, and I am deeply skeptical about how much combat strength the soldiers of Xuanfu still have.

Let Luo Yangxing go to Xuanhua, and the Social Investigation Institute and the Daming Times also sent a few people to find out the army, generals and local situation in Xuanfu Town. In particular, the personalities, abilities, and relationships between the three senior military and political officials must be clearly ascertained. ”

Wang Chengen immediately agreed, and then said: "Your Majesty, are the Social Investigation Institute and the Daming Times here under Luo Yangxing's orders or acting independently?" ”

"Of course, they are acting independently, and the Social Investigation Institute will arrange personnel to act in Xuanfu Town in the name of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and as for the Daming Times, it is enough to set up a local branch." Zhu Youzhen replied without hesitation.

Zhu Youzhen paused for a while, moved his fingers from Xuanhua to Zhangjiakou in the north, and said: "Zhangjiakou is the place where 30,000 households on the left wing of Mongolia exchange markets with my Ming Dynasty, and it is also the only way for bulk materials to pass through the customs from the Ming Dynasty.

Let Luo Yangxing pay more attention to this place, and find out who controls this market, but don't alarm them yet.

The monolith mouth in the northeast of Zhangjiakou has always been known as 'the throat of the upper valley and the right arm of the Beijing division'. However, this place is not a place for mutual markets, it is purely a place for garrison, so it is necessary to send people to investigate.

After the 5th, it will be New Year's Day, let them go out after New Year's Day. I would like to see a preliminary report before March next year. After entering March, I will make personnel adjustments in Xuanfu Town.

As for Datong's side, let Jinyiwei command Dong Kun to go. The eunuchs in Datong and Xuanhua have consistently reported good news and not bad news in the past three years, is this treating the palace as a fool? Let the Metropolitan Governor elect a sincere and prudent person to replace these two people and come back, and that's it. ”

"Then Your Majesty, are these Luo Yangxing and Dong Kun sent to Xuanhua and Datong in the name of the prison army?" Wang Chengen reminded carefully.

"No, because they were ineffective in the Beijing Mutiny, they were demoted to Datong and Xuanfu towns to preside over the retirement of the army and supervise the distribution of non-commissioned officers' salaries." Zhu Youzhen only thought for a moment before deciding.

When Wang Chengen was about to go down to convey his will, Zhu Youzhen suddenly turned around again and looked at the map again, and he seemed to remember some old things.

"Here in Dushankou, let people look for if there is a kind of stone that spits bubbles after burning, and it looks like the stone has been burned. If you find one, ship some back. ”

Zhu Youzhen finally remembered that this was the place he had been visiting. There is an open-pit zeolite mine nearby, and zeolite is a good thing, whether it is for feed, agriculture or industry.
