Sun Chengzong was reluctant to go to Liao, but this did not mean that Sun Chengzong did not care about the affairs of Liaodong, or that he had no influence. In fact, the radical faction of the Donglin Party has always wanted to meddle in Liaodong affairs, Sun Chengzong also knew that there was the influence of Liaoxi Jiangmen, after the Wanli Emperor's great trip, the center continuously sent a large amount of money to Liaodong, totaling as much as two million taels, Liaozhen has become the place where the imperial court uses the most silver, from last year to now, there are more than five million silver dual-use in Liaodong, a large number of ordnance and war horses were sent to Liaodong, these are in the hands of Xiong Tingbi, Xiong Tingbi is unwilling to share the fat with the officials of the DPRK and the Liaoxi generals, which leads to his serious instability, In addition, the Chu party was weak, and the Wanli Emperor, who strongly supported Xiong Tingbi, passed away at this time, although Xiong Tingbi was a very capable and talented candidate for the best strategy, but he was actually not in place.

In the end, from Sun Chengzong's heart, he didn't appreciate Xiong Tingbi either. This duke's character is too strong, Sun Chengzong feels that this person has not done enough to reconcile Jiangmen and mobilize the consciousness of the warriors, and he is too conservative with the Liao people, and the overall strategy of the past year is not good, the Ming army has a strong strength but sits in Liaoyang and Shenyang, and even Fushun Pass does not try to recover, and Kai, Tie and other places are also completely abandoned.

Sun Chengzong didn't ask who started it or who specifically operated it, he only lifted his beautiful beard and said indifferently: "Yes." ”

Liu Guojin looked happy, and then said: "I have talked with Yang Dahong and Wang Wenyan, and they all agreed that Yuan Dalai would take over. ”

Yuan Dalai is Yuan Qingtai, a member of the Donglin Party, the current governor of Liaodong, has always boasted of knowing soldiers, resolute personality, meticulous and meticulous work, is a rare historical talent, Sun Chengzong does not think he has a substantial side talent, but the matter is a foregone conclusion, he is not easy to object, and he also responded lightly: "Students are not opposed." ”

This means that it is not supported, but this is also expected by Liu Guojin.

"Haha, those are the two things." Liu Guojin smiled: "The next thing is to drink and chat." I recently have a new collection of poems, and I want to discuss it with the two of you, and I want to ask for a few copies of Wubeizhi to study and stop living. ”

The last words were said to Mao Yuanyi, Mao Yuanyi bowed and said: "The boss wants to see it, of course I will offer it below, and I also ask the boss to give me advice or two." ”

"Don't dare to advise." Liu Guojin said with a conceited face: "But I have been in Liaodong for many years, and I have also been in the army for a while. ”

After a while, the servants brought wine and food, and the three of them drank wine and talked about poetry and papers, and also talked about some border affairs, Sun Chengzong listened on the side, and felt that although Mao Yuanyi was also talking on paper, he was quite meticulous in the end, but Liu Guojin was a standard old and rough opinion, one and a half leaves were not systematic, and he was too arrogant and confident, he was not easy to say clearly, he only listened with a smile.

When Liu Guojin resigned, he asked the accompanying subordinates to send a small bag, Liu Guojin smiled and said: "This is the Yijin over there in Liaoxi, each person is fifty taels, and it doesn't hurt to be cheap." ”

Liu Guojin recently helped the generals of western Liaoxi to sprinkle Yijin in Beijing, to arch away Xiong Tingbi, and help Yuan Yingtai and others to ascend to the throne, as soon as Yuan took the position, Liu Guojin planned to return to Liaodong himself, take official positions, and earn the benefits of military salaries, but of course he will not say this now, he has sprinkled more than 10,000 taels of silver for a while, and officials large and small in Beijing have done a lot, especially the powerful ones are a few hundred taels, Sun Chengzong is not greedy, it is not appropriate to send more, it is not appropriate not to send it, fifty taels is a suitable number.

"The old-timers gave it, and the students had to be ashamed."

Sun Chengzong really didn't refuse, if the Beijing official didn't receive the foreign official's honor money, he would definitely starve to death, Sun Chengzong's family's real estate in Gaoyang was not enough, and the stall spread out in Beijing was definitely not enough if he pointed to the income from the land, and fifty taels was not a high-grade bribe, so he accepted it calmly.

After Liu Guojin left, Mao Yuanyi said: "When this person goes to Liaodong, I'm afraid it will be bad." ”

"Okay, Yuan Dalai is also a fine person, and he will not be at the mercy of them." Sun Chengzong was a little upset, Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou and others also had Wang Wenyan, as well as Yao Zongwen and Liu Guojin, these people colluded with the forces in western Liaoning, pointing fingers at side affairs, he felt very inappropriate, but the matter involved party groups, he himself was Ye Xianggao's protégé, and Ye Xianggao has always focused on the overall situation, although Sun Chengzong did not like those eager and aggressive comrades, but everything would still focus on the overall situation.

At this time, Mao Yuanyi talked about the matter that Li Shenming and the two came to ask for help today, and said that the two promised to print a thousand sets of martial arts, which was worth thousands of taels of silver.

Mao Yuanyi said with some shame: "Actually, I am soft-spoken, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much, so I didn't promise them directly." ”

Sun Chengzong laughed, pointed at Mao Yuanyi and said: "You are still young, and you don't realize that your role is not only in yourself, but also because you are a member of the Donglin Party, and you have a reputation for knowing weapons and weapons, as long as you have something to say, people can use it to make a fuss." ”

"I see." Mao Yuanyi said: "Can I agree to this?" ”

"He Yusheng ......" Sun Chengzong thought for a while and said: "I have heard of some of this business, it seems to be a better mule and horse shop in Shanxi, I didn't expect to open an iron mine to produce refined iron, if their iron is really good, it is also a matter of benefit and no expense to speak for them, and it is harmless." In the final analysis, if the fine iron is not applicable to the trivial matter of a business, the Ministry of Industry will naturally not continue to buy, and the people will not buy it. ”

"However," Sun Chengzong continued, "the proprietor of this business is very skillful, and it seems that he will be a successful businessman in the future." The Ministry of Industry purchased the buyer of wool iron just the first sound, and then grabbed the pig iron and refined iron market in the north, and then came down to the ironware, and in a few decades, it may be unknown that the family has a huge amount of money. ”

"In the end, it's just a businessman's trick." Mao Yuanyi didn't take He Yusheng and Zhang Han to heart at this time, and only smiled happily: "It's that Wu Beizhi can publish a book, and I am really happy in my heart." ”

Sun Chengzong also smiled.

……

Zhang Han was in the signing room when he received the letter from Jingshi, and he was facing Sun Yao, who was sitting on a chair with his hands on his knees, and his military posture and appearance were impeccable.

After reading the letter, Zhang Han handed it to Sun Jingting to read, and said with a smile: "I see that Li Zunlu is also stingy, so he promised to print 1,000 sets for people, but a few hundred silver, I think add a zero to others, and print 10,000 sets." ”

"Ten thousand?" Sun Jingting was startled at first, then shook his head and smiled: "Okay, nothing can escape your calculations." You just thought that Mao Yuanyi would revise what he said about Fang Maotie in the Wubei Zhi, and add our Lingqiu Tie, so that the more you print, the more advertisements you will give us, right? ”

Zhang Han smiled proudly and said, "I see that Brother Xiaozheng has been by my side for a long time, and you have really made great progress." ”

Sun Jingting said expressionlessly: "I think I'm black who is close to ink." ”

Zhang Han laughed and said: "Sure enough, it's different, even the kung fu of telling cold jokes is much stronger." ”

Sun Jingting shook his head and ignored him, turned to leave, he was very busy now.

Not long after the formation of the Military Command Department, the Military Command Department has recently been discussing with the Military Administration Department about the bereavement of the dead and wounded...... A while ago, a ceremony was held to cremate the deceased, and after the bones were collected, the family members were notified to come and greet the remains...... This is also the meaning of the family, the family members want to call the deceased to return to the roots, and the body is inconvenient to put for a long time, and then Zhang Han made a decision, if the family is willing, it will be buried in the military martyrs' cemetery in the north of Lizhuang, if you want to take it home, you can only pick up the bones and return with the ashes.

In addition to burials and bereavement pensions, there are also rewards and rewards for meritorious servicemen, all of which must be carried out in cooperation with the Military and Political Department, and a large amount of materials must be deployed, including the gold medal system proposed by Zhang Han...... Zhang Han does not take the medal very seriously, it is not something under the same cultural system, some can have applicability, some may not, China does not have a very deep history of heraldic inheritance, even if the medal of honor is publicized, it may not be more inspiring to build an ancestral hall for the dead soldiers every year, but since there is this thing, it may be useful, after all, it is a kind of thing that will prove effective in later generations.

However, in this matter, Zhang Han still showed the demeanor of a wealthy man in Shanxi...... The medal is divided into gold, silver and bronze three classes, and the strongest and highest military exploits are gold first-class medals, each weighing one or two, which well reflects the value of the medal and also exposes Zhang Dacaidong's taste.

There are also a lot of other trivial things, the establishment of the two divisions of the official and document system, first the establishment of the General Affairs Bureau, then the Miscellaneous Affairs Bureau, the Confidential Bureau, etc., the military and political aspects are the Conscription Bureau, the Resettlement and Pension Bureau, the Military Archives Bureau, the Ordnance Production Administration, etc., Sun Jingting has made an appointment with Li Dongxue to meet, and the two of them are very busy, and they really don't have time to accompany Zhang Han to talk.

Sun Jingting left, Zhang Han smiled, and turned to look at Sun Yao, who was still sitting in a serious manner.

In front of different people, Zhang Han has different bearings, even if he just looked tired, Sun Yao can only sit with his eyes and nose, and no one will interject in that situation just now.

"Sun Yao, Sun Heizi, right?" Zhang Han flipped through the files sent by the Archives Bureau, and the ink on them looked like they had not been dry for a long time.

The establishment of a public, documentary and detailed file system, even for each soldier to achieve detailed filing, this is Zhang Han's request to the Military Archives Bureau, he is also very generous to allocate more than 40 trained book offices to the Archives Bureau, all of them are about 20 young people, among which a few outstanding students who have been mentioned by Zhang Han in Xinpingbao have also been put to the Archives Bureau.

In later generations, the Archives Bureau is a cold yamen, feeling "useless", in all the rough management of the Ming Dynasty, strict public and document circulation, the system of clear distinction between the top and bottom, the responsibility system, and the archives system, this is a bit by bit to establish a modern management consciousness, urgent, but must not be ignored.
