Sitting opposite Zhou Zheng, Hu Qingzheng kept his fat face in the blink of an eye with an innocent look.
Zhou just reacted for a while and said, "You mean, you want to come to Yongping Mansion to be the prefect?"
Hu Qingzheng picked up the tea cup cautiously, did not dare to drink, and said, "Yuan Fu is going to be an official. Someone will impeach me."
That is, Li Guopu is about to pay his official duties.
Zhou Zheng heard the smell and said, "So, you come to me to avoid trouble?"
Hu Qingzheng Xiao blinked his eyes and said, "I don't have any trustworthy friends in official circles, you are not bad."
Zhou Zheng leaned on the chair and was a little puzzled. He said, "With Yuan assisted ability and your qualifications, you can just appoint directly. What are you doing here?"
Hu Qingzheng took a sip of tea cautiously and said: "I want you to recommend me, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble."
Zhou Zheng said oh, and took the teacup in his hand.
Many people will follow Li Guopu's resignation. Naturally, some people will be attacked by political opponents. If Hu Qingzheng is recommended by Zhou Zheng, even if Zhou Zheng's power is not mentioned, Zhou Qingli, a low-key upstart, will make many people hesitate.
Zhou Zheng looked at Hu Qingzheng, thoughtfully.
Hu Qingzheng is a very "moderate" person. If he were to be the prefect of Yongping Mansion, he would be better than others, and Zhou Zheng would be easier to control.
"Vote for the name?" Zhou Zheng put down his teacup and said.
When Hu Qingzheng heard it, he quickly said: "Yuanfu said, he helped you suppress all the impeachment notes that are unfavorable to you, and said, if you have anything, you should play it as soon as possible, and he will pass it to you as soon as possible. "
Zhou Zheng raised his brows, this old Li Ge opponent is so good
Hu Qingzheng looked at Zhou Zheng's expression and said, "We are also friendly people. I have helped you a lot before. You won't die, right?"
Zhou Zheng thought for a while and said, "I can recommend you, but I have to listen to me in Yongping Mansion."
Hu Qingzheng quickly said: "You are patrolling, of course you are listening."
Zhou Zheng nodded, got up and went to his desk, and began to write the memo.
The first is the issue of the'legitimacy' of the army he recruited. This requires the court to clearly confirm that this army can still exist even if his patrol is revoked or transferred in the future.
The second question is about soldiers and firearms. Zhou Zheng needs the approval of the court before he can operate in private.
The third way is to fight for some privileges, including taxation, commerce, land and other issues, which require public permission from the court.
Zhou Zhengjiang was able to think of the benefits that he could strive for, and he wrote them all in his head.
Hu Qingzheng watched Zhou Zheng keep writing, and said in a panic: "Don't write so much, Yuan Fu will be embarrassed..."
Zhou Zhengyi still not finished writing, and then wrote a letter of recommendation to Hu Qingzheng.
Seeing Zhou Zheng finished writing, Hu Qingzheng took a few eagerly and took a look at it. After reading it, he breathed a sigh of relief, his fat face smiled into a ball, and said: "You are still interesting!"
Zhou Zheng took a sip of tea and suddenly asked, "By the way, after Mr. Li Ge, who is the first assistant?"
Hu Qingzheng frowned immediately and said, "It seems to be Ye Xianggao."
Zhou Zheng nodded and said, "Well, let's go back."
Hu Qingzheng stuffed Zhou Zheng's recommendation letter into his arms and hesitated: "I just left?"
Zhou Zhengdao: "I have drunk the tea, do you still want to stay for dinner? Aren't you afraid of long nights and dreams?"
This sentence suddenly touched Hu Qingzheng's heart.
Hu Qingzheng sighed with a fat face and said, "Okay."
Seeing him unhappy, Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "It's okay, I remember that Li Ge and Ye Ge have a good relationship, and will not retaliate against you."
Hu Qingzheng was also considered high this year. Knowing the terrible situation of the court, he silently said nothing and turned away.
Zhou Zheng looked at him from behind, wondering whether the three magistrates should also be in office, but he denied it in an instant. A Hu Qingzheng and Zhouzheng can still control it. If the three magistrates disagree, not to mention that it will ruin his policies, or the negative treatment will greatly reduce his reforms.
At the beginning of September, Zhou Zheng was running back and forth between the government office and the military camp.
On this day, before Zhou Zheng arrived at the barracks, Chu Jin hurried over and whispered in his ear: "My lord, there is news from Liaodong that Jianlu has changed. He may want to invade Liaodong again."
Zhou Zheng's expression changed slightly, and he said, "Does Lord Wang know?"
Chu Jin said: "It should be unclear. Our news is in secret language, and the flying pigeons have passed on the book, but Jianlu has almost assembled now and is ready to go south."
Zhou Zheng immediately turned around, turned to the government office, and said as he walked: "If you find a way to spread the news in Liaodong, it is said that some merchants have noticed something wrong. It must be spread throughout Liaodong and let Lord Wang believe it!"
Chu Jin knew that Zhou was in Shenyang to arrange a detailed work. If it was spread out, it would definitely be a capital crime and he had to be extremely cautious.
"Yes." Chu Jin said.
"Let Cao Bianjiao, Yao Tongshun, Zhang Heyi come to see me." Zhou Zheng said anxiously as he walked.
"Yes." Chu Jin responded quickly.
Zhou Zheng returned to the mansion and immediately wrote to Wang Zhichen. After finishing writing, he hesitated for a while and put it down. At this moment, Yao Tongshun and Zhang Heyi had already arrived.
Zhou Zheng didn't talk nonsense, looking at Zhang Heyi and said, "How much food is there in the treasury?"
Zhang Heyi didn't know why Zhou Zheng asked this suddenly, saying, "My lord, plus the confiscation of Zhang Yonglian and other family properties, as well as Xia Liang, there are six to seven thousand shi."
Zhou Zheng hummed, and said, "Call out 50,000 stones, and keep them available at any time."
Zhang Heyi became more and more inexplicable, so she could only say: "Yes."
Zhou Zheng looked at Yao Tongshun and said: "The transfer of strong men in various villages and towns must be accelerated. Each village must have a hundred strong men. This is a death order and must be completed!"
Yao Tong complied, and then asked, "My lord, what happened?"
Zhou Zheng couldn't explain it to him yet, he pondered for a moment, and said, "You guys should prepare first."
Yao Tongshun and Zhang Heyi immediately understood that there was a hidden feeling, and did not ask much, saying: "Yes."
Zhou Zheng then picked up the letter he had just written, handed it to Chu Jin, and said, "When something happens, send it to me."
Chu Jin is the one who knows the roots of this matter. Looking at the'Supervisor Wang Qi' on the cover, he said, "Yes."
Zhou Zheng was not at peace, even if he knew it might be fine.
After waiting for a while, Cao Bianjiao hurried over.
Zhou Zheng didn't conceal it, and said, "Jianlu is preparing for the war, and it may not take long for him to offend Liaodong again."
Cao Bianjiao's face changed slightly, and he knelt on one knee, and said with a solemn expression, "My lord, please."
Zhou Zhengdao: "I just received the wind. There is no order from the imperial court or the governor of Liaodong. I can't mobilize at will. But I have written to the governor Wang and we can support at any time. Therefore, you have to prepare for war now, not for a moment. Relax, understand?"
Cao Bianjiao had been in Liaodong for a long time and understood the importance of this matter, and said in a deep voice, "I will understand at the end!" (End of this chapter)
