Smuggling has not yet begun, and the court's reward for Tumote and other tribes is still ongoing as usual, so Wenqiu is not optimistic about Zhang Han's ambitions. The Liao affairs are now stable, and it is impossible to see that the Eastern Barbarians have plans to enter the middle and southern Liaos, or even western Liaos, not to mention that the Northern Barbarian tribes on the grassland will be unstable. The so-called trade route from west to east, the so-called annual profit of hundreds of thousands is probably difficult to achieve. ═.

"Since that's the case, the student no longer says much and says goodbye."

Wenqiu's words have already been said, and Han Qi could not help but listen or not, so he immediately put his fists on his face.

Han Qi was sent out of the second door. At this time, the huge courtyard was crowded with people. Han Qi brought nearly a hundred family members and servants from Taiyuan, and there were also many boxes and cages. When they were laid out, there was almost no place to settle in the courtyard.

After leaving, a staff member of Wenqiu said, "Han Gong may cause chaos in Datong to occur frequently."

Wenqiu was silent at first, and said for a while: "This court affairs have nothing to do with us."

After getting into the sedan chair, Wenqiu summoned Kong Minxing, who was following the team, and said, "At that time, I heard that you have a close relationship with Zhang Han, so you need to remind him of this."

Kong Minxing smiled and said, "Zhang Wenlan is not a good person, he probably already knows this."

Wen Qiudao: "I also know that he is well-informed and has a lot of connections in the officialdom. However, Han Qi is very revengeful, and I am afraid that he may not be able to understand this level."

Wenqiu said to Kong Minxing the answer with Han Qi just now, and finally said: "I have pointed out that this son has a lot to do with me, and there are many people in the officialdom to protect him. However, Han Qi is still tough and it seems that it is difficult to give up."

Kong Min said, "Since that's the case, Wansheng wants to invite him to Lizhuang, talk in person, and then go to the boss's place."

"Okay.╞[┞[�[�[�[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[┞[�

"Yes, I will get late."

...

Kong Minxing's behavior was as his name was. After he made a statement with Wenqiu, he did not hesitate and took two people to the official road of Tianchengwei. After two days, he finally arrived at the Lizhuang territory.

As the end of the year approaches, the rural roads where people are rarely seen are also crowded with people. There are all kinds of hawkers everywhere in the market town. New Year paintings and Spring Festival couplets are finally welcomed, firecrackers are also best-sellers, and many people sell cloth and shoes. The most popular ones are definitely various meat stalls. At this time, families who are not poor and cannot open the pot will choose to buy some meat at home, preparing for the whole family to enjoy during the New Year. In addition, when relatives and friends come to visit, a meat dish will not be served on the table.

At this time, there are many families who want to keep meat and vegetables to entertain relatives and friends even when they are hungry.

It is difficult for people who are full of oil and water to imagine the hardships of people's lives in this era. Even though it was the turning point between Wanli and Chongzhen years, the place was still quiet and the prices were not high. The court's three tuitions were only added for the first time, and the two most powerful times were still behind, and people's livelihood was still over.

After arriving in Lizhuang, Kong Minxing's feelings were different again.

When he went to the barracks to submit a message, Zhang Han hurried out and smiled from afar: "This morning there was a magpies making noise on the branches, and it turned out that the distinguished guest was here."

"Wen Lan, you are so slippery now." Kong Minxing said with a lot of laughter and crying: "If you don't blush, just say it."

At this time, Kong Minxing appeared again at Li Shenming and was also beside Zhang Han, and he said happily: "Last time I heard that Brother Zunlu, you went to the capital, have the matter been done?"

"It's OK.(﹝.c{o[m{" Li Shenming smiled and said, "The Ministry of Industry will no longer buy Fujian iron or only buy a small part, most of them are buying Jin iron produced in our Lingqiu."

"I waited quietly, but it also benefited one side." Kong Minxing said sincerely: "Along the way, even in Tiancheng Acropolis, there were many beggars and refugees, and there were many people with vegetables. Near the Lizhuang area, the planning between the fields was excellent, with many water trucks and canals, and the wheat seedlings were well produced, and the harvest would never be low. People had smiles on their faces and their faces were much fatter than others. It seems that although the inspectors were not people-friendly officials, they were just responsible for catching thieves, but in the hands of those who were capable and thoughtful, they were not inferior to people-friendly officials. Moreover, the barracks were well-organized and the soldiers were well-trained. If they had not been here before, they almost thought they were the generals and the barracks were stationed."

Li Shenming sneered: "Zhizhi, you are so bad. Which general's official barracks can compare with here?"

"This is indeed my fault."

Kong Minxing is a gentleman, and he speaks in this style, straightforward, Li Shenming and Zhang Han can smile bitterly.

In fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, but it is not appropriate to say it. If someone else says it, I am afraid that the person present will suspect that he has bad intentions, but there is no problem with Kong Minxing.

Next, Chang Wei, Sun Jingting, Li Dongxue and others came to greet him. These were Zhang Han's most powerful literary team. Kong Minxing was also familiar with them, and he did not act like a juren. He was very kind in his words.

"There is something important here," Kong Minxing said: "We'd better go into the house and talk. After that, I'll still have to hurry."

Zhang Han said: "Brother Zhizhi, it's really not easy to come here once. It's best to stay for a few days, and then it's best to go around the fields. I call Li Xiangfu and the others and follow you to give me some advice. How about it?"

Kong Minxing was a little hesitant, but it would take some time for Governor Wen to arrive in Baoding, and the farming in Lizhuang was very good. When he came here, Kong Minxing had already felt a lot of corn fields and sweet potato fields. However, farming was not very good. Kong Minxing felt awkward when he saw it. Since Zhang Han kept him, he might as well agree.

He said with gaze: "If so, I will stay for a few days."

"Very good." Zhang Han was very happy. Kong Minxing was an absolute agricultural expert of this era. There were many scholars who read agricultural books, but either they were lacking in talent or blind people touching elephants. How could they be compared with disciples of master-level agricultural experts like Kong Minxing? Kong Minxing not only had a high theoretical level, but also had an internship at Xu Guangqi's Tianjin Farm for a few years. Such talents are extremely rare.

Unfortunately, Kong Minxing's identity as a juren. With Kong Minxing's identity and Xu Guangqi's connections, even if he is a juren, he can choose a seventh-rank magistrate in the Ministry of Personnel. However, it is mostly a remote province. He is a famous juren who can become a official in a minute. He is a joke to recruit a ninth-rank miscellaneous position, and it is a joke that offensives a lot.

Everyone entered the room and sat down before Kong Minxing expressed the purpose of the trip.

Seeing that Zhang Han's face was not different, Sun Jingting, Li Shenming and others were calm as usual, Chang Wei even smiled even more. Li Dongxue had no expression just now, but now it seemed that he was not expressionless... Kong Minxing secretly praised in his heart that only Sun Jingting and Li Shenming were famous and not Juren, but juren from these people around Zhang Han, but juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren, juren,

"It seems that Wen Lan has known it for a long time." Kong Minxing said: "It seems that I am thinking too much. As expected, few people in the world can compare to Wen Lan's intelligence collection ability."

"Actually, it's simple," Zhang Han smiled and said, "The shopkeepers from various parts of the country will ask for information for me. Not only official news, but also market transactions are the key. If we are engaged in business, if the news is not clear, we will not be able to make money."

Zhang Han did not want to be contacted by Kong Minxing with the impression of means such as Jinyiwei or Dongchang. The image of spies and intelligence departments in the Ming Dynasty was too bad, and many jokes that demonized them were also a cause. Civilians have always been to guard against eunuchs, nobles, and royal families. The main reason is that eunuchs were sharp tools used by the state to suppress the foreign dynasty. They were really good at using them. Even emperors with introverted personality were persistent in the affairs of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. For example, Xiaozong only dismissed the inner factory and the west factory, and the east factory was retained. Later generations always thought that the eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were strong and spy politics, but in fact they only knew the reason but did not know the reason.

"What Wen Lan said is the right reason." Kong Minxing said happily: "Since you know, what are Wen Lan's plans?"

"I haven't thought about it yet."

"Have Wen Lan ever thought about resigning and avoiding it for a while?"

Zhang Han smiled bitterly and said, "So even if I resign from office now, I can't move out of Datong. If I have no strength in my hands, he will give me some advice and bring some yamen runners to the door, and I will be tied to stand in a wooden cage."

Kong Minxing was silent, Zhang Han was also right. His family and relatives were in Datong. Even if he moved out, his family would leave at most. The property was in Datong. Under the deliberate attack of the governor, there was no one in charge of the family. He Yusheng, who is now a giant, will disappear in just half a year.

"In this way, will the plan be released?" Kong Minxing said worriedly: "It's too easy for you to make things difficult for Wen Lan in business."

"He is afraid it will be difficult this year." Zhang Han said: "The inspection department has no other tasks. There are only the rules set by Emperor Taizu Gao. He uses 50, 100, 200, and 300 as assessments. Of course, Han Qi is easily plagued by the problem of not being able to catch thieves this year. Now I have 300 thieves this year. The assessment according to the rules should be the best. The money and grain account is also very clear, and it has also been checked. Han Qi wants to start from here next year. Now he is considering that he will call me to Datong and find an excuse when meeting. This way he will be the least expensive and the fastest success. So now our consideration is that we cannot go to Datong no matter what."

"This is a good idea." Kong Minxing was a person who had been by the governor for many years. He was very clear about the governor's power and the process of local military and political affairs. Zhang Han said it was indeed justified. He nodded and said, "It is best to avoid it, but you must have it."
