Chapter 156(1/2)

Let’s talk about Jiao Shun back to the beginning.

But he said that he came out of the tent and met Feng Ziying and Xue Pan. Seeing that the people from Rongguo Mansion were leaving the camp, the three of them rode back to the villa.

Feng Ziying naturally would not ask the bottom line, but Xue Pan asked without hesitation whether Xing came out of the city to incense this time because of the life lawsuit that the master had recently provoked.

This was the first time Jiao Shun heard about this, so he hurriedly pulled Xue Pan to ask in detail.

Xue Daming only heard a little bit of a superficial hearing, only knowing that a pretty widow died. It is hard to tell the difference between how it has something to do with Jia She and how much it has to do.

However, this information is enough to make up for it.

After all, this emperor is not comparable to Jinling. With the power of Rongguo Mansion, it is easy to resolve several life lawsuits in Jinling, but if you want to cover up the sky with one hand in the capital, you may still be a little short of the market.

Especially the news of this person's life lawsuit has been revealed!

Since the power is not enough, it has to be compensated with real money and silver.

Following this clue, it makes sense that Xing's behavior of selling his daughter to make money can be made.

…………

However, this episode did not affect the interest of playing the playboy hunting. When he returned to the city in the evening, except for Xue Pan's wish to hunt the bear, others could be said to have been over.

After entering the city, Jiao Shun had already made an appointment with Feng Ziying to visit General Shenwu Feng Tang, so he politely rejected Xue Pan's invitation to return with him and followed Feng Ziying back to the general's mansion.

The military force that guards the capital of Xia Kingdom is mainly composed of three battalions and one guard.

Needless to say, this guard naturally refers to the Dragon King Guard; the third battalion is the Five Military Camp, the Patrol Battalion, and the City Defense Battalion - and General Shenwu Feng Tang is the commander of the Patrol Battalion, and can be called a pivotal boss in the army.

Feng Tang had just returned from the camp outside the city at this time. Before he had even taken off his military uniform, he heard the butler come in and report that the young master brought his friend back, saying that he had something to do to see the master.

Feng Tang frowned immediately after hearing this and said unhappily: "What important things can his friends have?"

"master."

The manager hurriedly explained: "The uncle brought this person back. It seems that Jiao Shun, who had just been resigned from slavery a few days ago, won the favor of the emperor."

"Is it him?"

Feng Tang stroked his beard and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Let the uncle bring him in."

As he said that, he went to the inner room to change his regular clothes.

When Feng Tang came out again, Feng Ziying and Jiao Shun had been waiting in the small living room for a while.

"Father."

"General."

Seeing him coming out of the inner room, Feng Ziying and Jiao Shun both rushed forward to greet him.

Feng Tang was not in a hurry to respond, and slowly arrived at the main seat, then nodded slightly and said, "Sit down and talk - come and have tea."

Although Feng Tang took a look at Jiao Shungao with his rare attributes, with his status, it is naturally impossible to let go of his figure and flatter a mere seventh-rank official.

Jiao Shun had inquired about Feng Tang's character before and knew that he had never liked the people below to play the game, so he did not make any preparations. He just waited for the servants to have a tea, and then stood up and said straight to the point: "General, the lower official is taking the absurd visit this time, but he really has something to ask."

He heard that he claimed to be a subordinate official, and he used the trust instead of seeking each other.

Feng Tang looked at Jiao Shun with some surprise, then asked expressionlessly: "Is it business?"

"It's a business, and it's also mixed with some personal feelings."

Jiao Shun said, taking out the kraft paper bag that had been prepared from his sleeve and holding it in front of his chest with both hands.

Feng Ziying immediately got up and took it, and delivered it to her father respectfully.

"What's this?"

Feng Tang asked, but had already tore open the bag and shook out a stack of newspaper clippings and two gold-sprayed papers from it.

He has seen too many letters, but the clippings are a little fresh.

So he did not rush to unfold the gold-spreading paper and sent the clippings one by one, but he saw that there were news related to the war in the Southwest.

What does this mean?

Feng Tang looked suspicious. As a military boss, his understanding of front-line wars was probably far more than ten times more than these reports.

But Jiao Shun's show off his skills is for that?

However, he did not rush to ask questions, but carefully read the above content and found that in addition to the latest war reports, there were more reports of heroes, and they were basically in categories such as serious injuries and unretreated, and they were disabled and strong in their will.

The most common reports of the country are not many.

Feng Tang had a little speculation in his heart, looked up at Jiao Shun and asked, "Do you want to use these disabled soldiers to do some official articles?"

“Yes, not.”

Jiao Shun bought a secret, and then he pointed out that the Ordnance Department wanted to send people to the relevant workshop to seize power in a practical sense. He first briefly explained it.

Then he said: "In fact, the officials were very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the official workshop, so they formulated a new policy to eliminate the accumulated corruption as soon as they took office, and they also won the honor of the emperor by chance - so they were not dissatisfied with the idea of ​​sending people to supervise the Ordnance Department."

"hehe."

Feng Tang smiled when he heard this, and shook the clippings in his hand and asked, "Are you really dissatisfied?"

Jiao Shun slightly bowed the god, but did not answer his question directly, but continued to follow his own rhythm: "The officials just think that this is the official workshop of the Ministry of Works. If people from the Ministry of Works are sent to supervise, it will be just a left-handed blow to the right-handed, and I am afraid that it may not be able to solve any problem."

When Feng Tang heard this, he suddenly straightened his back, stared at the clippings on his hands, then looked at Jiao Shun standing there, and blurted out: "Do you want these disabled soldiers to supervise the workshop?!"

“That’s exactly that!”

Jiao Shun said with gaze: "These soldiers are loyal to the country and are disabled. Now they cannot stay in the army to serve. They should be placed safely. They must not let the heroes bleed and cry!"

"What a 'bloody and tears'!"

Feng Tang slapped the table and stared at Jiao Shun with a bright look: "Still talk!"

Jiao Shun said again: "If it were a workshop next to the side, the retired soldiers would be arranged to inspect it, it would probably be a mountain across the street. But it was a workshop for producing military ordnance, and who could tell the difference better than these heroes who had fought with real swords and guns?!"

"The Ordnance Department wants to send people to the workshop for inspection. In addition to hating the accumulated problems of the relevant workshops, it also wants to create equipment that satisfies the soldiers. Since this is the case, they should not, and cannot oppose the workshop's direct supervision in the army!"

After hearing these words, Feng Tang admired the young man who was talking in front of him more and more.

It would be fine to think of letting disabled soldiers enter the workshop. What is really worthy of admiration is that he can take advantage of the situation in a short period of time, make full use of this high-sounding reason, and launch a fire-cut attack on his political enemies!

It can be imagined that once the court, who is worried about how to place meritorious soldiers, chooses to replace the officials of the Ministry of Industry to enter the workshop for inspection, the biggest loss will inevitably be the Ordnance Department!

and……

Writing this matter to the court will also help you win over the morale of the army and increase your prestige, so you basically don’t have to worry about rejecting the matter.

It’s hard for him to be so experienced and ruthless at such a young age!

only……

Feng Tang shook the clippings on his hand and asked with a smile: "Are you not afraid that this traitorous thing will spread and you will not be able to gain a foothold in the Ministry of Works in the future?"

Although this is a threatening word, the name is much more friendly.

Jiao Shunwei bowed and smiled, "If Uncle Feng responds to this matter, I will show up with the people from the Ordnance Department tomorrow morning. I just said that I just got the news from Uncle Feng and was about to wait until Uncle Feng first initiated it, and I would write a letter to support this matter!"

When Feng Tang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

If it were just written to propose this matter, the Ministry of Works may still have room for improvement, but if Jiao Shun actively expressed his support and broke the fortress from within, the Ministry of Works may not even have room for bargaining.

In order to avoid this situation, the Ministry of Works and even the Ordnance Department would probably try their best to appease him, so how dare they exclude and make things difficult at this time?

After this matter has been settled for a year or two, with Jiao Shun's scheming skills, I'm afraid he will have gained a foothold in the Ministry of Works long ago!

It was not until then that Feng Tang opened the gold-spreading paper and saw that it not only listed Jiao Shun's words, but also added many details.

"Forget it."

After reading for a long time, he stuffed the clippings and letters back into the paper bag and said decisively: "Are you all talking about this, I, an elder, will seem pretentious if I push you and stop you from it again - I will respond to this matter, and I will definitely write to the court in three or five days!"

Jiao Shun was 80% sure when he came, but the smooth progress of things still made him feel relieved.

Feng Tang changed his previous coldness at this time and greeted Jiao Shun intimately before leaving after dinner, and even offered to say that he would drink a few drinks with him.

Although Jiao Shun really wanted to get along with Feng Tang, he had to politely reject Feng Tang's kindness because he had an appointment with others.

So Feng Tang ordered his son to send him out of the mansion.

When Feng Ziying watched Jiao Shun take the bus and turned back to the small living room, she saw Feng Tang take out the newspaper clipping again and take a closer look at the letter paper.

"father."

He stepped forward and bowed and reported: "Brother Jiao has left."

"Um."

Feng Tang responded without raising his head and casually reminded him: "You must make friends with this person well, but don't rush to have a heart-to-heart talk first, let's see how he will do in the future."

…………

Jiao Shun drove back to Ningrong Street, but did not turn into the back door of Rongguo Mansion, but entered directly into Ningguo Mansion and drove straight into Jia Zhen.

Unexpectedly, Jia Zhen was not at home. He said he was going out with the master of the Western Palace and had never come back from morning to now.

But Jiao Shun didn't come for him either.

Now, we have to find Jia Rong, who was confined, to accompany him to have a drink.
To be continued...
