Entering the official hall of the government, Liu Zhi took out an edict from his spacious sleeve robe, with a smile on his face, and said to Lin Lian: "Liu is here to congratulate Lord Lin again......"

At this time, naturally there will be no edict from the capital, and the edict in Liu Zhi's hand should be a farewell to the official, but I don't know what new official position the Ning Wangfu and the Jiangning Sixth Department can grant him from power.

Thinking so, Lin Jian smiled quietly: "A certain generation of imperial court to recover the Mingzhou Mansion should be a matter of congratulatory congratulations. ”

"Only Lord Lin can be arrogant, and he is a model of the world's handsome ministers," Liu Zhi said, he has in his hand the edict signed by the six departments of Jiangning and the Ning Wangfu, and it is not an edict, and there are no rules to talk about, expand it and read it, "Doctor Yinqing Guanglu, Chongzhou Bo, and Huaidong make Lord Lin Binlin a pillar of the country and the mainstay of the imperial court. When everyone in Jiangning heard this, they were all excited, and they all said that they would send an envoy to Beijing to report the victory. However, the road is dangerous, and the success cannot be done for the time being, so Jiang Ning can only encourage him, and he is ashamed ......"

Lin Jian scolded in his heart when he heard this: If you are really excited, why did you wait until the news of the capture of the Mingzhou Mansion reached Jiangning before sending someone over? This kind of official words, Lin Jian just listened to it, I don't know if such words really came from the mouth of Yuan Jianwu, or the mouth of Zhang Xitong, or Yue Lengqiu's face-to-face teaching?

The previous words, the biggest value is that Jiang Ning officially agreed with Huaidong's attack on eastern Zhejiang, and the others were empty words, Lin Jian quietly waited to listen to Liu Zhi read the following content.

“…… However, the eastern part of Zhejiang needs the Huaidong army to forge ahead, contain and crack down on the Fujian thieves, and discuss with the governor of Yue and the princes, and decide to set up the eastern Zhejiang system to set up the embassy to govern Mingzhou, and to govern the military of the eastern front to attack the Fujian thieves. Liu read it straight, stuffed the edict into Lin Bin's hand, and said with a smile, "Lord Lin was promoted to become rich, do you think I want to congratulate you and congratulate you?" ”

"It's all hard work, so what's there to rejoice in?" Lin Jian quietly took the edict, but he didn't expect that Jiang Ning would let him concurrently take the post of envoy to eastern Zhejiang. As for the size of the defense area under the jurisdiction of eastern Zhejiang, the edict did not say, could it be said that the territory that was laid down in eastern Zhejiang was all Huaidong?

Chen Mingzhen stood aside, and sighed secretly in his heart: Jiang Ning made Lin Tie and lead the envoy of Zhedong Province, but clearly told Lin Tie that as long as the Huaidong Army can lay down the territory from the luxury family in Zhedong, no matter how big or small, it is his.

Huaidong officials, Meng Xinshi, Mao Tengyuan and other representatives of local forces in eastern Zhejiang came forward to congratulate Lin Jian and lead the envoy of eastern Zhejiang.

The envoy of eastern Zhejiang only made it more justifiable for Huaidong to garrison troops in Mingzhou and set up a battalion in eastern Zhejiang to master local military equipment, but nothing else was to be said, and there was no substantive significance. Could it be that Jiang Ning can still let Huaidong pry the Mingzhou Mansion away.

Jiang Ning also counted the trick of retreating as advance, and gave Lin Jian the title of envoy of eastern Zhejiang, hoping that Lin Jian could make some concessions in the arrangements of other officials.

Lin Jian was worried about the situation in the north, but he had to set up a banquet to entertain Liu Zhi, Meng Xinshi, Chen Mingzhe and others, and also invited Mao Tengyuan and other representatives of the affiliated forces in eastern Zhejiang to the banquet.

During the banquet, Meng Xinshi sat down under Liu Zhi with the intention of wine, leaned forward and asked Lin Lian: "Eastern Zhejiang has frequent wars, the people are not happy, and all families have been tortured by Fujian thieves!" At this time, it was finally recovered, and it was time to recuperate with the people - the princes of Jiangning intended to exempt the counties of Mingzhou from money and grain for three years, but this matter had to be discussed with Lord Lin, what did Lord Lin think? ”

Lin Lian's face sank slightly, Liu Zhi gave a sweet jujube in front of him, and the big stick was waved by Meng Xinshi at this moment.

Jiangning's purpose was to indiscriminately pardon all the local forces in eastern Zhejiang that had succumbed to them during the reign of the luxury family, and to reduce the collection of money and grain for three years, in order to win over all the local forces in eastern Zhejiang.

Jiang Ning was not arbitrary, and asked Meng Xinshi to ask Lin Lian's opinion in public at the banquet, and his intentions were also vicious.

If Lin Jian opposed the reduction of money and food, he would not only be a bad person, but also make Jiang Ning win the hearts of the people; If Lin Jian agrees, he will not be able to raise money and grain from eastern Zhejiang to supplement military funds within three to five years, and if eastern Zhejiang wants to maintain such a huge military garrison and confront the luxury family for a long time, the pressure on Huaidong will be extremely great.

"Master Meng, what do you think?" Without waiting for Meng Xinshi to answer, Lin Jian "snapped" and slapped the chopsticks on the table, stared at Meng Xinshi with a bluffed face, and scolded, "Who the hell came up with this idea of cutting off children and grandchildren?" There are still 50,000 or 60,000 elites in Huiji, Dongyang and southern Zhejiang, plus the strength of western Zhejiang, there are as many as 150,000 or 60,000, to ensure the peace of the Mingzhou capital, to maintain the suppression system of the enemy in the west, it is necessary to recruit 40,000 or 50,000 soldiers and horses in Mingzhou! Someone proposed to reduce the money and grain of Mingzhou Prefecture, that's okay, I will lead the Huaidong Army to withdraw tomorrow, this dog's Zhedong system makes whoever wants to go! At this point, he stood up indignantly and threw up his sleeves to walk to the back hall.

Lin Jian put on an official robe, gentle and elegant, and his face was pleasant all night, who thought that he would suddenly scold his mother!

Chen Mingzhe's face was slightly red, and the idea of pardoning the sins of the various families in eastern Zhejiang who had joined the luxury family and reducing the money and grain was Chen Xiyan's idea. This time, Chen Xiyan was going to cross the river to Mingzhou Mansion, but he had an illness before leaving and was weak, so he asked Chen Mingzhen to accompany Liu Zhi and Meng Xinshi.

Liu Zhi and Meng Xinshi were stunned there, looking at each other, but there was a middle-aged man in the hall who was not good-looking, and knelt down under the hall, and shouted loudly: "Fujian thief Kou Zhedong, all families and villagers are weak, and they succumb to the thief and dare not resist it, and the crime should be ten thousand deaths." Today, I hope that the lord will come with the king, such as Mu Ganlin, but also sincerely afraid of sin. A certain family did not dare to ask for exoneration, but only wanted to have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions. If there is still the greed to reduce money and food, it is really shameless, what face does it have to see the world? The matter of reducing money and food, please do not mention it to your lords and princesses. Not only can they not reduce the money and grain, but they also have to consult with the families, and ask the adults to levy more money and grain: first, to atone for the sins of the families and the villagers to submit; Moreover, Qian Gu is used in a quiet place and to prevent Fujian thieves, and a certain family is afraid that it will be of insufficient use and cause Mingzhou to be ruined by Fujian thieves again - please don't abandon Mingzhou! The bricks under the hall kowtowed and kowtowed, and Mao Tengyuan and other representatives of local forces in Mingzhou saw that they were not right, and they also left the case and knelt down to the hall and kowtowed to ask Lin Jian to stop.

Although everyone hopes to be exempted from crime and food, smart people know that what Jiang Ning sent is just a favor, and the life and death of the Mingzhou families are actually in the hands of Lin Lian.

Lin Tie naturally would not lead the Huaidong Army to withdraw, but Lin Tie cut off a few heads in Mingzhou Mansion for the crime of gangsterry to make his mood feel better, which one can Jiang Ning protect?

The more I thought about it, the more I didn't dare to expect anything.

Lin Jian stopped his steps beside the screen, turned to look at the people who were kneeling down in the hall, he was busy dealing with Liu Zhi and Meng Xinshi after he came back, although Fu Qinghe had introduced him to the people of Mingzhou, but there were too many people, and he couldn't remember what this middle-aged man with an unattractive appearance was called.

Lin Lian's eyes rolled and looked, Fu Qinghe knew that he didn't remember Ye Junan's name, he sat in front of the desk and said: "My lord, I think what Mr. Jun'an said is still the sincerity of the people in Mingzhou, don't provoke the relationship between the adults and the people in Mingzhou!" ”

Liu Zhi and Meng Xinshi didn't dare to speak, Lin Lian scolded his mother, and Fu Qinghe even pointed out that this was a traitorous word to sow discord, what else could they argue?

"Humph!" Lin Jian snorted coldly, and after being reminded by Fu Qinghe, he remembered Ye Junan.

Ye Junan is really a character who knows how to protect himself.

Ye Junan was thirty years old when he was in the imperial examination, but he had no intention of pursuing a career in public office, and he was a chair of the Siming School with great weight, and he was called "Mr. Junan" in eastern Zhejiang. After the luxury family captured eastern Zhejiang, the Ye family offered land and wealth in order to seek the whole family, but Ye Junan did not, and none of the other Ye family children served in the eastern Zhejiang Governor's Mansion and prefecture and county under the jurisdiction of Luxury Feixiong, and the relationship with the luxury family remained quite far away. After the Huaidong Army attacked and landed, the Ye family was also the first to send people to secretly contact Huaidong, but it was not until after this side captured the Mingzhou Mansion that the Ye family sent people to transport money, grain, and labor troops!

Judging from the behavior of the Ye family, Ye Junan's talent and temperament are very vague, more like the kind of character who opportunizes and watches the wind and welcomes changes, so Lin Jian is not impressed by him.

But Lin Jian left the scene in a feigned anger, Ye Junan was able to say these words in a blink of an eye, with such a state, no matter how true or false his head knocked, it was refreshing to him, and it should not be underestimated.

"Mr. Jun'an, please get up," Lin Jian sat down after walking back to the case, and said to the people running in the hall, "I am also anxious about the situation in eastern Zhejiang, and I don't want to be mistaken by the villain, so I don't choose what to say, and I don't mean to blame the families in eastern Zhejiang!" ”

Chen Mingzhe thought in his heart, how could he prevent these words from reaching the ears of his mentor Chen Xiyan?

Liu Zhi scolded in his heart: Chen Xiyan, this old horseman, no wonder he pretended to be sick and didn't come, fortunately, Lao Tzu had more eyes, these words made Meng Xinshi snatch it, if he hadn't robbed the boat and lost his life to the water bandits on the way back, who would he go to complain to? How can such a simple plan to sow discord be useful to Huaidong?

Meng Xinshi's old face turned red, he couldn't argue or explain, but looking at the faces of the people in eastern Zhejiang, he also knew that the words that Chen Xiyan taught him were still somewhat useful, but he didn't expect Lin Lian's attitude to be so strong, and what Chen Xiyan said about Huaidong was likely to be the second luxury family, it was true.

Then there was no atmosphere just now, and the feast soon came to the point where the wine was exhausted; All of them took their resignations and departed.

Lin Jian instructed Chen Kuili, who was in charge of the defense of Mingzhou City at this time, and said: "Mingzhou is newly returned, the night is not over, the safety of Liu, Meng and other adults, you have to take care of it, and the post house will send some people!" ”

"Thank you, Lord Lin, for ......your concern," Meng Xinshi said, and from Lin Lian's face, it was not clear from Lin Lian's face that he was arranging this way to strengthen the protection of them, or to strengthen the surveillance of them.

Of course, Lin Jian wanted to prevent Liu Zhi from having too close contact with the local forces in eastern Zhejiang. After Liu Zhi and the others left first, Ye Junan and others also came forward to say goodbye, Lin Jian kept Ye Junan and said: "I have no other hobbies, I like to drink tea, I just came to Mingzhou today, I want to come here to prepare good tea from Chongzhou for me, Mr. Junan is interested in accompanying me to drink?" ”

Speaking of good tea, Siming Mountain produces good tea, and Lin Jian just made excuses to leave Ye Junan in public.

Ye Junan said: "When the adults are called, Jun'an is better to obey than to obey!" ”
