Zhou Zheng was not clear about this, and asked: "Dad did you say where it was?"
Zhou Fang shook his head and said, "Father just said it was possible, he didn't say anything else, maybe he didn't know."
Zhou Zheng hummed, and changed his mind.
There are only two places where Daming uses troops, one is Liaodong to fight against gold, the other is to suppress bandits in northwest, then, is it to suppress bandits or to fight against gold
After the last battle, Jianlu was greatly injured and faced with natural disasters. It is unlikely that he would launch a full-scale offensive like in the past. Is that a suppression of bandits
Although the robbers are getting bigger and bigger, there is still no need for the imperial court to suppress them. The Northwestern army has more victories than defeats.
Zhou Zheng couldn't figure it out, so he could only go back to Beijing and ask.
"Let's go back to Beijing early to see the situation in the court." Zhou Zhengdao.
Zhou Fang had the same idea, saying: "Yes, Dad also said in the letter, I want your business to be low-key."
Zhou Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he understood the main point of Father Zhou's letter to Zhou Fang.
It was probably the development of his Zhou Chamber of Commerce in Tianjin Wei that caused some people's coveting, which made Zhou Qingli jealous.
Zhou Zheng secretly said,'It seems that I really have to go back early. '
Zhou Zheng poured another cup of tea for Zhou Fang and said, "I see. Brother, how are you doing in Changli County?"
Zhou Fang smiled and said, "Very well, the officials are obedient, all political affairs are in order, the weather in Changli County is smooth, and the people live and work in peace and contentment..."
Seeing Zhou Fang smiling like this, Zhou Zheng knew that he was doing well, and said: "That's good, Chen Zhifu didn't embarrass you, right?"
Chen Zhifu, Chen Wuyong, the original prefects of Hejian Prefecture, were operated by Zhou Zheng and were built in Yongping Prefecture.
The more Zhou Fang smiled, he said: "Chief Chen is a person who believes in the rule of inaction, and did not interfere with me. I heard that he is going to be transferred to the staff and become a foreigner."
Zhou Zheng laughed secretly, this Chen Wuyong was also unwilling to be lonely. He was emptied in Yongping Mansion, so he might as well go to the capital to spend some time, and then seek to be released elsewhere and continue to be the local Emperor.
Zhou Zheng wouldn't stop Chen Wuyong, took a sip of tea, and said, "Sister-in-law, are the children okay?"
Zhou Fang was a little helpless, and said: "Your sister-in-law is okay, but the two children are getting more and more quarrelsome, and my brain is softened by him.
Zhou Zheng nodded slightly and said, "I will send someone to take you back, and then bring something for the sister-in-law and the child."
Zhou Fang said: "It's too snowy outside, I'll leave tomorrow, and I have something to tell you."
Just as Zhou Zheng was about to ask what it was, Zhou Fang suddenly walked over and grabbed Zhou Zheng’s shoulders and said: "Our brothers haven’t talked about Bingzhuye for a long time. We will sleep together tonight..."
Before Zhou Zheng refused, Zhou Fang shouted at the outside: "Li Sheng, give me something to eat, wash towels, etc., tonight I will sleep in the second master's room."
"It's the eldest master." The outside immediately responded.
Zhou Zheng sighed, already guessing what Zhou Fang was going to say tonight.
Sure enough, as soon as he lay down, Zhou Fang asked about the'marriage' and asked Zhou Zheng if he had any girl he liked.
After Zhou Zheng shied away, Zhou Fang talked about some things in Changli County, and then it was Father Zhou, the court, and even the civil rebellion in Shaanxi, the construction of the prisoners in Liaodong and so on.
Zhou Fang was very interested and kept talking.
Unless it is necessary, Zhou does not like to chat with people in lengthy form, and it is easy to talk awkwardly.
However, Zhou Fang kept talking and didn't feel sleepy until dawn.
Early the next morning, Zhou Zheng wandered around Tianjin Wei with sleepy eyes and Zhou Fang, who was still interested.
Zhou Fang was amazed, because Tianjin Wei is very'tidy and clean', not as chaotic as other places, especially the boundary of Shandong, which is simply a wolf's den, and everyone has it.
Finally in the afternoon, Zhou Zheng couldn't help being sleepy, and then he forcibly sent Zhou Fang away.
Sitting in the classroom, Zhou Zheng drank strong tea to refresh himself, listening to reports from Yao Tongshun and others.
Zhou Zheng listened for a while, confessed a few words, and then dismissed everyone.
Sitting on the chair, wiping the sweat from his head, Zhou Zheng yawned while pondering the news that Zhou Fang had brought.
Father Zhou is going to resign and return to his hometown. His military preparation may be of other use. The Ming court was in chaos, and local civil unrest continued to spread and expand. Even with the foresight, Zhou Zheng felt pressure and a slight sense of crisis.
Zhou Zheng couldn't understand many things. He was constantly making arrangements for the affairs of the three places, explaining, and preparing to return to Beijing as soon as possible. He was always a little uneasy.
After explaining the government affairs, Zhou Zheng went to see Chengji, and Shangguanxun and others made arrangements for the Zhou Chamber of Commerce. Especially with regard to ticket numbers, Zhou Zheng and a few people dialed.
He then inspected Hejian Prefecture and other counties and did not return to Tianjin Wei until early December, preparing to return to Beijing.
Sitting in the carriage returning to Beijing, Chu Jin and Zhou Zheng made a report.
"My lord, there are more and more people in Shenyang, and they have penetrated into many places. There are even our people in the palace of Jianlu..."
"There are more than one hundred intelligence stations, from Shenyang to Shanhaiguan, all with homing pigeons, code words..."
"Fifty dead men have arrived in Shenyang, hiding outside the city."
"According to the orders of the adults, the lower officials in Shaanxi are following some people and making arrangements for them. There is no definite news yet..."
"The Huaiyang Salt Merchant was a little uneasy. Master Wei went there in person. I heard that many people had died, but they have stabilized..."
"The dead soldiers on Xiangyun Island have already been dispatched. There are also fifty special forces, two hundred soldiers eliminated from the new barracks, a total of three hundred people..."
Zhou Zheng listened and nodded constantly.
Many things are already on the right track. You only need to do it step by step. The only drawback is to guard against the court. If the supervisors smell the wind, it will definitely be a tsunami-like attack.
Chu Jin looked at Zhou Zheng and nodded, but stopped talking.
He had something to ask Zhou Zheng, but he didn't know how to ask. These arrangements are no longer what a soldier should do, and they are far out of the ordinary. But there is nothing to say, Zhou Zheng's heart for the country, he has seen it all the way.
Zhou Zheng didn't notice Chu Jin's expression and was still thinking about the situation.
Zhou Zheng stayed with dozens of guards and returned to Beijing with bumps.
Zhou Fang and his wife are still in Changli County, Zhou Zheng is not there, and Zhou Qingli often does not come back. Zhou's mansion seems very deserted.
When Zhou Zheng returned to his home, Fu Bo and others were overjoyed, and they kept chatting to Zhou Zheng.
Fubo smiled and said, "Second Young Master, you are back. Master still babbled about you yesterday, hey, thin and dark. I must be hurrying back. I must be hungry in such a hurry. The kitchen will make you your favorite fish..."
Lin Bo smiled and followed, Zhou Zheng came back, and the family finally became a little angry again.
Zhou Zheng responded with a smile while arranging someone to bring back.
When there were not many people in the backyard, Zhou Zheng asked, "Uncle Fu, when will father come back?"
Uncle Fu said: "I have sent someone to inform the master. If the master knows that the second young master is back, he will definitely be back tonight..."
Zhou Zheng sat down in the hall, untied and put it on. Seeing that there was no one else, he asked: "Fu Bo, is something wrong with Dad?"
When Uncle Fu heard this, his expression was slightly fixed, he glanced outside, and whispered: "Master rectified the imperial field and offended several princes, and the palace is a little dissatisfied."
Zhou Zheng suddenly realized, it's no wonder that Father Zhou is resigning. This is offending Emperor Chongzhen, and he has to leave if he doesn't. (End of this chapter)
