"Even if you want to mint coins, you can't need such a large-scale irrigation canal." Kong Minxing thought silently for a while and knew that Zhang Han must have some more details. At this time, the coin minting machines in Europe were also mainly stamped. One machine could mint coins in a day and make more than ten silver coins. After designing, there would be quite a lot of water flow. Ten coin machines were too much, and at least not too much within a few years. So what is such a long irrigation canal used for?

"I really need your helper in this matter." Zhang Han said: "But don't rush to say it first. We will talk in detail in a few months."

Kong Minxing also knew that Zhang Han's style of doing things was mostly planning and then acting. If he couldn't start, it would be of no use to talk early. He nodded and replied with a smile: "Since I'm here and I've received my salary, of course, I will do things according to your instructions from Wen Lan."

&c≈wánc≈c≈iba,≧.≤±.≈p;Zhang Han said sincerely: "Brother Zhi, you, there is still Zunlu, Brother Xiaozheng, I treat you as a friend. There is no need to say too much in your relationship."

"Okay." Kong Minxing said bluntly: "Wen Lan, you rely on Wei Yan, although you have to protect yourself, but I still don't agree. But you don't seem to be able to pass the test if you don't do this this time, which makes me feel very conflicted..."

Zhang Han laughed and said, "Brother, please don't worry, I'm just a silly man with Wei Zhongxian, and I won't really be with them."

Kong Minxing nodded and said with relief: "If this is the case, I will be really relieved."

Of course, Kong Minxing is not the Donglin Party. Just like Xu Guangqi is from Songjiang Mansion in Jiangnan, he is not the Donglin Party. At most, he is a sympathizer of the Donglin Party and an outsider, and is definitely not a person in the party. However, if Zhang Han really becomes the backbone of the eunuch party, Kong Minxing will still be in a dilemma when he is sandwiched between him, and he is likely to be uneasy in Li Zhuang, and may even leave again due to the influence.

"The press matter..." Kong Minxing said again: "I wrote a letter to Sun Chuyang. His Ministry of War was not very busy either. He asked him to take a month or two to take a long vacation and come and help you."

Zhang Han was overjoyed when he heard this and crossed his hands and said, "All things are laborious, as for the treatment and remuneration, of course, he will be better."

"This is natural." Kong Minxing said: "Sun Chuyang became a Beijing official, but his income did not increase, but his expenses were much greater. If he didn't beat Qiu Feng, the rich man, who would he ask?"

The two of them said this and stood up together. When Zhang Han saw Kong Minxing intending to say goodbye, he felt a little moved. Kong Minxing used to be here, and most of them were out of the matter and rarely expressed his opinions. He was still a guest minister at that time and maintained a transcendent position. This time, he already had a clear sense of subordinates. He spoke with all his words.

"By the way..." Kong Minxing hesitated for a moment, and said, "Even if Xu Dahua helped Wen Lan cover up this matter, I would recommend that you go to the capital."

"Oh?" Zhang Han said with some surprise: "I have to rush to the front line. The last time I reported to the capital to defend my grievances was of course a statement. When I was going to go at that time, I was afraid that I would be taken down by the Jinyi Banner School when I arrived at the capital."

"It was then." Kong Minxing said: "Who dares to take you now with Wei Zhongxian to support you now? The emperor is a son who values ​​friendship. I heard that he admires you very much. This time, he can pass the test easily, and the root of the emperor. He believed you and thought you were a descendant of Feng Pangong. After loyalty and kindness, you have always been loyal. There is no need to be too serious about some extraordinary things. If you are untrustful and do not go to the capital in the end, even if the emperor doesn't say anything, he will still be rooted in his heart... It's okay, if there is another Wang Xinyi, even if Wei Zhongxian helps you, it will not be a problem..."

"Okay, I understand..."

Zhang Han originally planned to break his promise, but it would not be a great thing to delay for a year or two. By then, even if the emperor summoned him, his strength had been consolidated, and the grassland and Datong were connected into one as a whole. Zhang Han already had the strength to challenge the Ming Empire head-on. So what if he used the imperial edict as straw paper at that time? However, after hearing Kong Minxing's words, Zhang Han's heart moved and felt that it seemed that it was not bad to go to the capital.

If safety is guaranteed and you can gain the trust of the emperor, you will not have to worry about internal constraints for at least the next five years.

"Don't you need to beat the drums heavily?" Kong Minxing joked with a rare moment, then he put his face in a tumbling face and said, "I don't know when I will meet again next time, take care of Wen Lan."

Kong Minxing also understood that Zhang Han had certain risks whether he went to the capital or went north. His farewell naturally had some serious feelings, just hoping that Zhang Han would be safe. For He Yusheng, no one can replace this person's role.

When Kong Minxing was truly a member of He Yusheng, he already understood how much he valued this group. In fact, he received a lot of letters a few days ago, including Xu Guangqi, Sun Yuanhua, and even Xu Erjue and other younger brothers. He just advised him not to trek in the muddy waters. Even if he was embarrassed to return to the capital, he should at least leave Datong and go somewhere else to avoid it.

But Kong Minxing himself understood that no matter what, he could no longer leave the group He Yusheng.

"Take it." Zhang Han also bowed his hand to the court. The man who had transformed from young to middle age in front of him has become his powerful help, as important as Sun Jingting and Li Shenming and others.

Zhang Han said that agriculture and grain are the foundation. Even if his iron factory can earn more than one million taels of silver a year, it is enough to buy millions of stones of grain, he would still say so.

Because many people do not understand that in the future, in the world of iron and fire, when money cannot buy food, people only know how valuable food is.

...

"The envoy is here..."

There were many people gathered in front of the gate of the inspector's yamen, and the bustling crowds made the streets almost crowded and airtight.

Xu Dahua had actually arrived in Datong for a long time, but he pretended to go to several branch cards of Yusheng first to check it out, and went to Tianchengwei, and then disappeared for a few days, and made a gesture of private visits in a private manner, and then entered Datong Mansion City with great fanfare.

Entering the city from the East Gate and Yangmen, passing through large archways, passing through the tall bell and drum towers, many yamen were left behind, and the team where the imperial envoy was located was getting closer and closer to the patrol station.

The people watching the fun have already squeezed the streets out of stock.

This is the first time in Datong's history. Although the inspector is nominally only a seventh-rank official, his actual authority cannot be regarded as a seventh-rank official. It can be said that the nominal master in this city is His Highness Dai King, and the actual person in charge is the governor, and the head of the military general is the general officer. The one who can compete with the power of the governor and the general is not inferior is the inspector.

In many cases, the inspectors are even more serious than the governor in communication with the court. After all, the governor is nominally a Beijing official, but in fact he is the actual military and political leader in the local area. The inspectors are the important pawns that the court truly places in the local area to control and suppress local forces.

"His Royal Highness Dai will save me, and I will definitely save me..."

When people drown, they always subconsciously grasp everything that may save lives. This situation is like Wang Xinyi's situation at this time. Wu Boyu never returns, Zhang Yong'an disappears, and the Donglin Party has no movement. All signs indicate that the strength behind Wang Xinyi's previous pride and pride has completely disappeared. He has become an abandoned son. No one pitys him or helps him. Everyone lets him die.

At this time, the person who came to arrest him was the Minister of Justice, but Wang Xinyi knew in his heart that the real person who came to take action was of course the banner school of the Jinyiwei. He should not be imprisoned at the Ministry of Justice. He was likely to be directly imprisoned at the Jinyiwei North Town Fushi and entered the Beisou Institute. He was really worse than death. He had to be tortured every day. New wounds would appear before the old wounds solidified. When Wang Xinyi was a censor in the capital, he had been to the Beisou Institute. People there were scars all over his body, his eyes were dull, and his body was covered with maggots. It was really worse than death.

When Wang Xinyi thought of this fate, he was trembling all over. He was afraid, and he was really afraid to die.

A few days ago, Wang Xin always asked for help from the King of Dai. Last time, Dai Wang personally said that he appreciated his determination and decisiveness to He Yusheng. After all, Han Qi taught him the lesson. Now no one in Xuanda’s local forces dared to target He Yusheng. The Dai Wang Mansion was resentful of He Yusheng because of the death of the lieutenant in Lingqiu... The Zhou Daniu who was hanging on the Jiatai of Lingqiu now knew that it was Zhang Han’s secret son. The King of Dai was of course hated Zhang Han to the core, but unfortunately his relatives had no way to retaliate, so he could only place hope on Wang Xinyi. Wang Xinyi also patted his chest and promised that Zhang Han would definitely die. As a result, he was in a disaster now.

As Wang Xinyi's murmur, the drum horn finally came slowly. Even the roofs were covered with people. Xu Dahua sat in a green four-person sedan chair. He could only sit in a sedan chair carried by two people at the level of his grade in the capital. Today he felt that the sedan chair was very spacious and beautiful, and he was not too bored with the crowd around him. When the sedan chair stopped and he saw the yamen runners sent by the Datong Prefecture yamen to maintain order with a whip to beat the idle people who were too close to each other with a whip. Xu Dahua frowned and ordered: "It is inevitable that the people like to watch the fun. Why do you have to be so evil in appearance!"

With this saying, the onlookers can watch it closer, and many people shouted at Xu Dahua.

The gatekeeper of the inspector of the yamen had already opened the middle gate. When Xu Dahua climbed up the stairs, there were people kneeling all over the ground on the stairs on both sides to the corridor. Everyone lowered their eyebrows and closed their eyes, and did not dare to look up at all.

Xu Dahua was very happy. He was a member of the Ministry of Justice. Although he had the background of the Zhejiang Party and Fang Congzhe in the capital, he was really a person who could not be named in the capital. He would definitely not be able to enjoy such a prestige today in the capital.
