    During the entire Children's New Year's Day, Qian Ning's house had no shortage of guests, and they were always reluctant to accept gifts.  No, now we can no longer call it Qian¡¯s Mansion, we have to change it to ¡°Zhu¡¯s Mansion¡± - now Qian Ning has been adopted as his adopted son and given the national surname.  Qian Ning was so smart that he hired a craftsman to quickly make the plaque and lanterns that day, and quickly turned it into a "Zhu Mansion".  The courtiers were of course in a state of shock, and the impeachment papers were handed out in piles.  Some people directly impeached Qian Ning, such as the supervisory censor Zhou Guang wrote: "Jin Yiwei commanded Zhu Ning to be the eunuch Qian Neng's slaves. It is not appropriate to take the emperor's surname, claim his adopted son, and spoil the government by his parents." It was also said that the monks in the palace were disrupting the government.  Just drive away.  There are also those who talk about the overall situation from the perspective of national affairs. For example, Feng Xun, the head of the Ministry of Household Affairs, wrote a letter stating seven things. In addition to the commonplaces such as "valuing Confucian officials to clarify principles" and "recruiting loyalty and uprightness to boost morale", he also mentioned "re-gifting surnames to eliminate the problem."  Suspicion" and "Choose a clan to capture the crown prince."  "These two people have always been upright and upright, and they are not people who can be bribed by some vassal kings with money and silk. They represent the mainstream attitude of the courtiers.  And what is the emperor¡¯s attitude?  When the old god was there, he went to Xiyuan to stay, and all the records were kept. Several pavilion elders went over to ask for an audience, and they went several times before they were able to meet the saint.  The elders tried hard to persuade, but the result was On the second day, the emperor first "given one hundred and twenty-seven adopted sons with the surname Zhu" - among them were palace guards, eunuchs' nephews, and people in the market, anyway.  When he saw someone he liked, he pulled them to his side and adopted him as his adopted son.  You say his Qing Palace is empty?  He can fill you up with "godson"!  Later, he was given 200 ultimatums by the master of Tianliang Palace, Tianliangzi Zhenren.  You say he is close to a Taoist monk, and he can show you how close he is to a Taoist monk!  Although the emperor had a wanton temperament when it came to beating children, it has become much more reliable in recent years, especially the opening of the sea in Shandong, the promulgation of the vassal regulations, the proposal of good governance such as the clearing of land and land, and the rapid removal of Liu Jin, which made the courtiers feel that  The emperor grew up and began to behave like a wise king.  But this time, he seemed to have suddenly turned back into the willful and mischievous young emperor. The more he wrote letters to admonish him, the more he became antagonized by the courtiers. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?: is just a toss and turn.  The chief incense of the Imperial Ancestral Temple?  No such thing.  The young master of Ning Mansion was very embarrassed. He was probably not willing to leave empty-handed, so he fell ill at the right time and asked to stay in Beijing to recuperate.  Whether the emperor likes it or not, he cannot force a sick child to go on the road in this winter.  Of course, it was accurate, and the imperial doctor had to be sent for consultation and medicinal materials, and the official articles had to be sufficient.  Although there are many "adopted sons", Qian Ning's status is still the most special one.  He was considered the "eldest son", and he was the closest person to the emperor, and he also had the highest official position.  There was another rumor in Xiyuan that the emperor was drunk and fell asleep with Qian Ning's legs in his arms.  No one can compare to this honor.  That¡¯s why there was such a lively scene with so many guests. Everyone came here from the time of ¡°Liu Qiansui¡±, and they all know the current temper and how powerful the emperor¡¯s ministers are.  And with such a big piece of pie falling from the sky and hitting his head, it was hard for Qian Ning not to be confused by the hit.  Although he knew in his heart that Ning Fan kept pushing the fourth young master to be the chief minister of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the emperor did not let him go, but at this moment he slipped him out to be his adopted son, just to block the arrows.     so what!  !  Who would refuse the title of "Concubine Prince"?  !  Now that he was walking in the palace, the fawning smiling faces of the chamberlains were everywhere. The big ones who usually had their eyes on the top of their heads also became warm. Even Zhang Yong, Wang Yue, and Liu Zhong looked at him when they saw him.  Everyone will say hello politely.  Why doesn't he want this "emperor's concubine"?  !  He was directly promoted to a thousand households, and the eldest son also had to be a member of a hundred households. Look at the busy traffic in front of his house, and the power and wealth rolling in. Why didn't he want this "emperor's concubine"?  As for Ning Fan, he did have the intention to place his treasure on Ning Fan, the young master.  However, since the emperor has set up his shield, he is looking down on the young master of Ning Mansion.  That person could only be a little concubine of Prince Ning, so he had nothing to take care of.  ¡°Besides, he accepted Ning Fan¡¯s gift, but he also spoke for Ning Fan.  Using money to do things is fair and reasonable.  In the future, Ning Fan will still be the only one asking for his share.  Qian Ning thought clearly here. When Mr. Miao from the Ning Mansion came to the door, he put on the air of being the "emperor's concubine".  " Open your mouth and keep your mouth shut, the emperor's grace is great, you are loyal to your family, and you obey the imperial edict."  Mr. Miao was so angry that he was so angry that he scolded the villain for his success, but he couldn't do anything about it.?I can only hatefully throw away my sleeves.  After returning to the house, Mr. Miao told Mr. Li everything about Qian Ning's words and deeds.  As he expected, Mr. Li went into a rage and smashed a lot of things. "You're just a little loach, but you really think you jumped over the dragon's gate?! This idiot is delivering food to the imperial censor." He was irritated.  Knocking on the desk, he ordered Mr. Miao, "Go on and find those scornful Confucians. They don't have to spend any money just to blow the wind. Is it in line with their Confucianism to adopt an eunuch as an adopted son? Let these hard-core men continue to write." Mr. Miao  I thought to myself, are there too many previous impeachments?  This was the basis for impeachment, and the crown prince was specifically mentioned as an adopted son, but the emperor didn't respond at all!  ??As for the root cause, it¡¯s not that Mr. Li made a bad move!  They had originally planned to follow up with several rounds of petitions to force the emperor to recognize the chief minister of the Ancestral Temple. Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Li resigned, those people were immediately shocked by the "emperor's anger".  "That's the position of minister. Who believes that someone would throw it away at any time?" ???????????????????????? If it comes to the point where the official must be dismissed, it must mean that the emperor¡¯s punishment will be more severe than demoting.  Although it is said that wealth can be found in danger, but they are all old-timers in the officialdom. Who would risk their current real future to achieve the illusory merit of following the dragon before they have even written a word?  As for the people, the common people are more interested in a "Shang Shu with the shortest term in history", especially during this period, there are also stories about the grievances and grievances of wealthy families that the people love to hear, such as "Just after the Shangshu lost his official position, the son-in-law of Tanhua divorced the Shangshu's daughter."  Discussing whether a small vassal prince can be the incense minister of the imperial temple?  The fourth young master¡¯s call almost disappeared.  And the emperor had a Shen Li's official, and then he accepted a slave's adopted son to be a righteous son. This attitude was already obvious!  "Accepting an adopted son who has no respectable status may sound deviant, but in fact it is no different from the tigers, leopards and wolves raised in the leopard room, and it will not affect the inheritance of the children at all.  It is impossible for him to accept the son of a vassal king who will influence the heir.  Those courtiers who were already shocked by Shen Li's incident became less optimistic about the Fourth Young Master. Even when Mr. Miao came to visit with heavy gifts, he could not get a few words of affirmation to support the Young Fourth Young Master.  "The impeachment of the adopted son cannot be discontinued. Let the eldest princesses and the eldest princesses in the clan come out and say something." Mr. Xiao Li pointed at Mr. Miao and said, "The British government,  Go find someone, just tell Zhang Hui, "Qian Ning is not a eunuch."  Don't be wary of Qian Ning? Let's let them go." Mr. Miao thought to himself, not to mention that Zhang Hui's current status is not easy to get along with the people around him, even if he gets along, this provocation is too obvious.  If Zhang Hui has come this far, he is not a fool. Will he be easily provoked?  !  "If I really follow Mr. Li's step-by-step instructions, I'm afraid I'll have to do something wrong."  Mr. Miao made up his mind and just followed the story.  Mr. Xiao Li paid no attention to Mr. Miao's attitude and insisted on sticking to the Zhang family of the Queen Mother's natal family.  At this time, it is time for the Queen Mother to speak out.  Suddenly I heard Mr. Li ask, "What is this loser Zhang Hao doing now?" This self-proclaimed man will never admit that he has made a mistake.  There was nothing wrong with his strategy, but the person who executed it was a mess. From now on, he often talks about "Zhang Guo's trash".  Mr. Miao frowned and said, "He has been on leave since the Chinese New Year and has not gone to the Hanlin Academy. Some of the rumors on the street are really ugly. I am just preparing to quote that Shen Shangshu is dedicated to serving the country.  Recommend the fourth young master, but the treacherous deceiver confuses the Holy Lord, Shen Shangshu can't bear to implicate his son-in-law" Shen Li resigned, how many people were staring at the Shen family, the news of reconciliation could not be hidden from anyone, Zhang Hao immediately became  Among the people, he was the villain who used to flatter his father-in-law, a high-ranking official, and then abandoned his wife when his father-in-law lost power.  Furthermore, the old stories about Zhang Hao¡¯s grandfather Zhang Yuanzhen¡¯s involvement in the camp were also uncovered.  Wherever Zhang Hao went, he was scolded in the spine. He simply complained of illness and did not go to the office. He just stayed at home, hoping to wait for the matter to subside.  As soon as he knows how to try it, new topics will emerge continuously, and no one will say anything about him.  Mr. Miao was very optimistic about Zhang Hao. He was young, well-read, and had a good brain. He also had the status of being a top talent. He was a talent that could be made. The Ning Mansion had invested a lot of money in him and pointed him to climb up the ladder.  . ????????????????????????????????????????????? Mr. Li cut off all his support with one bad move, and even splashed sewage all over him. What else is there to do?  So I wanted to help??Elute one or two.  Mr. Li sneered, "You should think about Zhang Hao, a loser. Why don't you feel bad for wasting the prince's money?"  In Jiangxi, I am loyal to the prince" Mr. Xiao Li interrupted, "I didn't say I didn't need him." He paused and chuckled, "His appearance and identity as a detective in Jianchang can be used.  Isn¡¯t the eldest daughter of Marquis Marquis Zhang Yanling still in the nunnery?  !  Because they deliberately wanted to win over the Zhang family, they knew everything about the Zhang family.  "That person offended the current Empress Dowager De and Yang Ge's daughter. Now that the flowering period has passed, the Zhang family still dare not take her back. We are just afraid that this plan will not work." Mr. Miao is serious.  I'm afraid this stinky chess player will make another stupid move.  More than just offending, what you did back then can be considered murder!  The Zhang family probably sent this girl to Ji Bei'an just to avoid the limelight. She was young anyway, so she would wait for a year and a half before no one would notice her.  "I didn't expect that the status of the two would become more noble than the other, but the Zhang family's holy family members were not as good as before, so this girl had no choice but to stay in the nunnery.  Year after year, until now she has become an old girl, and the Zhang family has no intention of mentioning it, which shows the taboo.  Mr. Xiao Li disagreed and said: "Concubine De is from the Zhang family. The Zhang family and the Shen family are related by marriage, and they can be regarded as relatives with the Yangge family. Besides, the Zhang family also has a queen mother. How can we really be afraid of them? Take it for granted.  After so many years, I haven¡¯t found a suitable candidate for marriage - "The Zhang family is not afraid of those two, but other people may not be afraid.  The Zhang family doesn't like ordinary people, so it's just a delay.  Think back to the beginning, why did Shouning Hou Mansion choose Shen Jin, the number one scholar, as his son-in-law?  It's just used to raise the price of his family.  With Zhang Hao's appearance and his identity as Tan Hua Lang, he must be in the Zhang family's favour.  "Mr. Xiao Li seemed to think that his plan was extremely clever. He clapped his hands a few times and said with a smile, "Isn't this piece of advice saying that a girl from the Zhang family is worth a lot of money to marry a girl from the Zhang family?  Mr. Miao only frowned and said nothing. Mr. Xiao Li smacked his lips and said, "The Zhang family has worked hard on their son-in-law. Push him into the court. Look at Shen Jin."  It was also unlucky for him. If he hadn't caught up with Ding You for three years, he might not be worse than that little brat Shen Rui now.  Wouldn¡¯t the Zhang family be happy if they could get a flower-hunting man to help them cultivate their children?  "Mr. Miao nodded slowly. Indeed, the Zhang family may not be unhappy. It's just "It's just that if Zhang Hao is not happythis strong-willed melon is not sweet, and if he offends the Jianchang Hou Mansion again  "Mr. Xiao Li immediately turned cold and said, "Is he not happy?  !  Not to mention the girls from the Zhang family who are the direct descendants, they are also the girls who are the concubines. If it weren¡¯t for the current situation, that loser would not be able to reach the top even if he has never been married!  "The Shen family has no high-ranking officials in the government now, but all the in-laws and relatives of the Shen family are in high-ranking positions. Isn't it easy to crush him, a small Hanlin editor? If he doesn't find a backer, he will just wait and disappear.  He will be killed by the Shen family." "You tell him to be more clear-minded," Mr. Li said almost word for word, "Your Majesty, you will not keep useless people." Mr. Miao also felt cold sweat behind his back and reluctantly agreed.  "Student, go and talk to him now." Mr. Xiao Li waved his hand and told him to do it as soon as possible, and then said slowly: "Since you have made friends with him, please give him a good advice and let him learn more from his grandfather.  . ¡± * The trend of impeaching the adopted son has not ended since the first month of the year.  Of course, there are also some who quietly wave the flag for the young master of Ning Mansion.  For example, Wang Zheng, the Censor of the Thirteenth Road in Nanjing, said: "Your Majesty has been on the throne for nine years and the reserve position is still empty. Please choose a young and virtuous member of the clan to serve as his successor. He will carry out the duties of the morning and evening in the place of the ancestral temple and the birth of the prince."  , Send him back to his country." "The incident of Si Xiang in the Ancestral Temple in the first month has passed, but there is still "the province of dawn and dusk"!  You don¡¯t need to be in a hurry to do this, you can do it every day!  "Young and virtuous", I just put the word "young" in the head.  "If Shen Li hadn't just lost his position as minister, these people would have almost made it clear that Young Master Ning Fan was a ready candidate.  The Queen Mother, who had been silent before, also asked about the "adopted son".  The word that came out is that the Queen Mother hopes that the Emperor will take the clan as his heart, refrain from wandering, accept advice from the wise, and work diligently to serve the people.  But there are also rumors that although the Queen Mother did not mention choosing a son from the clan, she actually praised the wise king of the clan.  No matter how ridiculous the emperor is, he doesn¡¯t have to listen to his wise ministers.?You cannot violate your filial piety and disobey the Queen Mother.  So, within two days, the "obedient" little emperor issued an edict, praising the virtuous King Zhou, adding lumi, and making an exception to the rule by naming the eldest son of King Zhou as the crown prince early.  This King of Zhou was the first to write a letter in response to the vassal regulations. Now he donated food for disaster relief and cooperated with the land clearing of his father-in-law. He also actively cooperated with the investigation of peanuts and inheritance in the vassal government. He handed over the ancestral salary that these people had defrauded over the years and properly  Arranged for these people who had no titles - he reopened the ancestral school in accordance with the vassal regulations, followed the example of King Zhao, and donated money to build schools, hospitals, and engineering colleges, and allowed these descendants of peanuts without titles to attend school for free according to their preferences.  Study, learn a skill, and make a living.  This move was highly praised by civil servants.  "But he is more virtuous than Prince Ning who only accused other Zongzhi of being unfaithful but took no practical action.  And King Zhou¡¯s son is still a baby, even more ¡°young¡± than Ning Fan¡¯s young master!  Not long after, the Empress Dowager, who had always been aloof from political affairs, suddenly spoke up and begged the Emperor for mercy, so that Prince Chong's son could ascend the throne.  And Henan also "timely" reported many charitable deeds by Prince Chong, who helped the victims, donated money for education, and even donated military salary to help suppress bandits.  Speaking of which, the first day of March this year is the tenth anniversary of the death of the Empress Dowager Xianzhou.  The first generation of King Chong was, after all, the biological brother of the Empress Dowager Zhou and Xianmiao.  The emperor immediately issued a decree to praise him and ordered Prince Chong to inherit the title after he showed his filial piety.  Logically speaking, it is reasonable for the Empress Dowager, the Queen of the Xian Temple, to speak for the Chongwang lineage.  However, you must know that the Queen Mother was not on good terms with the Queen Mother Zhou. Even in her last days, the Queen Mother Zhou refused to see the Queen Mother and did not allow her to attend to her illness.  The Zhang family and the Zhou family fought for many years. It was not until the two princes of the Zhou family passed away that the family gradually declined and was unable to compete with the Zhang family. Then there were no more lawsuits.  The Empress Dowager¡¯s move inevitably led to different interpretations.  For many years, the Empress Dowager has been like an invisible person, silent in the harem and before the court.  But after all, she is the Empress Dowager, and her seniority is there.  The emperor is extremely filial and must honor his mother, but his grandmother must also be filial.  If there is anyone who can suppress the Queen Mother, it would be the Queen Mother As for the land of Henan, when did so many wise kings appear, many people secretly said in their hearts that the children of the Shen family are very cunning and clever.  When Shen Li resigned and left Beijing, many people were waiting to see what Shen Rui would say.  Many people participated in the impeachment of Shen Rui with various purposes. Those who took Prince Ning's money pointed out that Shen Rui had a personal relationship with the vassal king and bought the vassal king's heart. They also secretly pointed out those of the first generation King Zhao.  Intention of rebellion.  But before a wave of denunciation against Shen Rui could form, people from Henan quickly sent documents to Beijing, saying that your king also donated rice generously to help the victims.  The imperial court immediately issued a decree to commend him.  "It's fair to say that King Zhao invited buyers with the intention of treason, but King Ru doesn't even have a son!"  Who would believe that he would also rebel?  !  Those censors who had been slapped in the face all retracted their heads.  In this short period of less than a month, virtuous kings emerged one after another in Henan, each one more virtuous than the last, and each one making greater contributions to the court than the last.  Of course, the unworthy ones, such as Linzhang County Prince and Tangyin County Prince of Zhao Fan, Dongyuan County Prince of Zheng Fan, etc., were all dealt with by Shen Rui. ??????????????????? No matter how many people Shen Rui, a disaster relief official, helped in the end, if he only dared to attack the sects and made so many sects bow their heads to the court, he would only have merits and no faults.  "Besides, with Zongfan getting so much Lumi, there is no need to worry about disaster relief."  In the eyes of everyone, Shen Rui doesn't have to do anything at the moment, he can just lie in the credit book and wait to receive the reward.  But in fact, Shen Rui was troubled by various things, such as the medicinal material trading market, water conservancy projects, bandit suppression, and the decline in transaction volume at the border horse market * In early January, Jiang He arrived in Henan with a large group of people, and  Shen Rui meets up.  Governor Shen of Wu'an County became famous in the first battle. After that, he was very tough at cleaning up the prince's palace and exterminating bandits. The eunuchs secretly called him "Shen Chao", but Lu Lin gave him the nickname "Shen King of Hell".  Now that he has a large number of soldiers in hand, he shows his true character as the King of Hell.  He had been "inspecting" Huaiqing Mansion for a long time, but this time he sent troops and had internal leaders to lead the way, and quickly eliminated several of the most powerful horse thieves.  Of course, he, the governor, does not need to go into battle personally to suppress bandits. He mainly goes to court to accept the case of local people suing the Zhengfu clan.  If you want to investigate, there are not just as many cases of violations of laws and disciplines by sects and vassals, but there are also cases in Fanchang and Lujiang counties.Wang "cooperated", and the evidence of the Dongyuan Palace's crimes was conclusive.  If Shen Rui hadn't insisted on proving the truth, Prince Fanchang would have even wanted to blame Prince Dongyuan for King Zheng's death.  This time, Shen Rui was only responsible for trying the case and judging the case, but left the job of confiscating the house to a professional - Qianhu Tangxing, a Jinyiwei who came from Beijing on orders.  This person is one of the most ruthless people in Fusi, Beizhen. No matter who is sitting in the command position, Mu Bin or Yang Yu, he can stay steady with his ruthless torture skills.  But in fact, he is secretly Wang Yue's man.  Zhang Hui sent Tang Xing to Henan not only because he wanted to use his bad reputation to take the blame, but also because no one could come up with any new tricks. He also wanted to use Wang Yue's people to reassure the emperor.  After solving the issue of Zongfan, it was able to quickly promote the issue of Qingzhang, and the production of Huaizhiyin was guaranteed.  The horse thieves were eliminated and the transportation channel to Zezhou, Shanxi was opened.  Shen Rui asked Du Laoba and Tian Feng to build standard banks and inns in Huaiqing Prefecture as densely as Dengzhou, not only to facilitate the north-south transportation of Huaiqing medicine, but also to connect with Zezhou Prefecture - Shanxi Martial Arts School is located in Zezhou, so many news  It will be smoother.  Shen Rui also applied to the imperial court to establish a medical school affiliated with Shanxi Martial Arts to train military doctors and prepare wound medicine for battlefield use. The supply of medicinal materials will be provided in Huaiqing Prefecture and Zhangde Prefecture.  The two places promote the cultivation of medicinal herbs and establish corresponding pharmaceutical factories. Local governments can deduct taxes on medicinal herbs and provide certain preferential treatment.  The Cabinet expressed approval for the establishment of the Military Medical Hall, and it was quickly approved. The funds for the Military Medical Hall were provided by the state treasury, and the supporting pharmaceutical factory was to be built by the local government.  The big bosses believe that the imperial court¡¯s willingness to recognize the pharmaceutical factory as supplying medicine to the military medical school is giving the pharmaceutical factory great honor and business opportunities, just like a tribute.  Therefore, no fees will be allocated.  As for tax credits, the big guys are not too reluctant.  In fact, among the various prefectures in Henan, although Huaiqing Prefecture does not have much land, it accounts for a large proportion of taxes, and the court will not easily allow changes.  "However, now that Henan is hit by the disaster, taxes are exempted for one year anyway. The cabinet has said that the tax issue will be put aside in advance and will be decided next year depending on the situation.  Shen Rui is not in a hurry. When the medicinal materials trading market in Zhangde Prefecture is established, commercial taxes will be increased proportionally to guide the circulation of grain. People's living conditions will improve, and the water conservancy project can further improve the soil fertility and increase the yield per mu. Then the tax will not be raised.  It's too big a problem.  Of course, that will happen later. The urgent problem now is still the huge gap in food.  Henan has been hit by disasters for several consecutive years. No matter how much grain the rich households in the feudal government collect, it can only provide temporary relief, and it will be difficult for the people of this province to survive until the autumn grain comes in large quantities.  Shen Rui is also trying his best to prepare grain and rice.  In exchange for granting official titles and titles of six or lower ranks to deceased ancestors, we mobilize prominent and wealthy households to donate grain. We use cattle and sheep grains as rewards to encourage people who enter the commune to plant short-term, high-yielding grains. We use Henan medicinal materials as incentives to attract merchants to transport food from other provinces.  Grain comes to trade and so on.  In addition to these conventional methods, Shen Rui also sent people to Dengzhou early to ask Jin Yuzhu to try to contact Meng Cong to see if he could get more food from overseas.  Although water from far away cannot satisfy thirsty people close by, I am afraid that Henan will be short of food in the next two years. No matter where there is food and rice, the more the better.  Of course, no matter where you want to transport grain into Henan, you need peace on the ground in Henan.  Therefore, Shen Rui and Jiang He decided to divide their troops into three groups.  Zhou Xian went to Henan Prefecture to suppress the mining bandits, while Gao Wenhu and Jiang He first eliminated the bandits in Kaifeng Prefecture, and then went to Guide Prefecture and Runing Prefecture separately.  Guide Prefecture is adjacent to Yanzhou Prefecture in Shandong Province. Before leaving Beijing, Shen Rui specifically requested an order to place Ding Huanzhi here as the prefect for the convenience of transportation.  Ding Huanzhi also knew what he meant, and he had been organizing supplies for Shen Rui in the past few months.  When Gao Wenhu went to Caozhou, Shandong to suppress bandits, he fled from Guide Mansion. He was quite familiar with the situation here, so he was going to Guide Mansion.  ??And Runing Mansion is connected to Huguang and Nanzhili, and is also close to Jiangxi. To the south, it can prevent Jiangxi soldiers from moving north, and to the east, it can quickly protect Nanjing.  Jiang He once accompanied his father to suppress bandits in Huguang, and there were many resources available on the ground in Huguang.  This step is to guard against Ning Fan.  In comparison, mine thieves are more difficult to deal with than horse thieves.  Although the horse thieves are very mobile when they move around, their whereabouts can always be traced. If the army presses them down and there is a dragnet, there will be no escape.  The mining thieves are all in the deep mountains and old forests, hiding without a trace at the slightest sign of trouble.  If the army wants to go deep into the forest to search the mountains, it will be like finding a needle in a haystack, and supplies will be even more difficult. Once the army retreats, it will easily reappear.  This is what local officials blame and complain about.    "We have a difficult time transporting food and grass, and those bandits will not go anywhere easily." Before the division of troops, when Jiang He called everyone to discuss the battle plan, Zhou Xian said.  "After being hit by the disaster for so long, the gold, sand and iron sand cannot be used as food. If they can dig it out, they have to replace it with food." He looked at Shen Rui and said, "I heard someone say when I was in Dezhou Wei that Mr. Shen had to deal with Hai  Kou also used this trick to cut off their retreat." Shen Rui nodded slightly, and Tian Feng behind him immediately saluted: "Don't worry, sir, we are already investigating the landowners who are related to the mining thieves.  There are many hills, so it will take some time." Tian Feng paused, looked around, and said, "I'm afraid it has something to do with the local area, so it's not easy to find out, and it's hard to prepare" Zhou Xian looked expressionless.  Shen Rui thought for a moment and realized that Shen Rui was just talking about it through the mouth of his boss.  There are no people on the ground in Henan who the Shen Chao family dare not deal with.  Zhou Xian knew exactly why the emperor sent himself to Henan, otherwise he would not have taken the initiative to persuade King Ru.  Shen Rui has never concealed his achievements in the military newspaper, so he will not deliberately create difficulties.  Therefore, Zhou Xian naturally took up the conversation and said: "Your Majesty sent us here just to clean up the place. No matter what you find, Sir Tian Zhuang, just report it. If there is anyone who knows the law, breaks the law and protects the bandits,  The national law cannot be tolerated, and we will never tolerate it." He then said to Shen Rui: "Please give the governor an order to have Eunuch Liao come over. The mine supervisor here still needs some coordination from Eunuch Liao." Shen Rui nodded and said.  Someone has been sent to invite Liao Boring to come to Henan Prefecture. "Not only the clan's forces were involved in this mining robbery, but also the local mining supervisor and tax supervisor and other internal officials were certainly involved.  To deal with the internal officials, naturally Liao Boring comes to suppress it.  Shen Rui is now very comfortable using this knife.  Du Laoba glanced at Wan Dongjiang in the corner over there, cupped his hands and said, "Someone has an idea that is not very popular." Since this was a member of Zhang Hui, Zhou Xian was quite polite and said please speak.  "My lords, you don't know. There are some prefectures and counties in the Zhili region that have very few people who can catch thieves. Sometimes they rely on the sea to capture documents and offer bonuses. There are always some capable people who are willing to take advantage of this." Du Laoba said.  "Sometimes, we just catch a thief on the street and don't deal with it immediately. We just lock him up and hang him up, and let his brothers, family, relatives and friends catch the thief nearby. If he is caught, he will be more or less exempted from the prison sentence.  Crime. If you repeat the same method as the newly caught one" Zhou Xian glanced at Du Laoba meaningfully and said, "This is not a bad idea since Zhili has always done this.  . But the first one is not easy to catch." Du Laoba winked at Wan Dongjiang, and Wan Dongjiang stood up a little cautiously and said, "I know friends from all walks of life, and I often hear about them.  Disputes" Zhou Xian understood what he meant and said with a smile: "If someone is willing to do good and make meritorious deeds, although it cannot be said that he will let go of the past, he will be treated leniently. As long as there is no serious case of unforgivable guilt,  The army has always respected a bloody man." He looked at Shen Rui again.  Shen Rui only said: "Commander Zhou cherishes his talents, which is a blessing for the soldiers." Zhou Xian said, "Your Excellency, you are overly praised. Those who have committed heinous crimes go to build river embankments and roads, which can be regarded as atonement for the common people and the benefit of the place. Some of them work for the benefit of the people and the place.  Maybe you have been coerced, you sincerely regret it, and you have some skills, so you should put them to good use." He paused, "I heard that Dengzhou people organized Qingzhuang coastal patrols, and now Henan has high mountains and deep forests, so it is easy to hide.  When banditry harms the people, there should be such a group of young and strong people to protect themselves. However, now that banditry is happening, and we are afraid that these people will be taken away, it will be worse. Therefore, if they are sent to the border, they will not only contribute to guarding the border.  It¡¯s not like they have the best of both worlds if they can gain strength and gain a future for themselves.¡± It¡¯s not like Shen Rui hasn¡¯t thought about getting some horse thieves to go to the grassland and become a surprise soldier.  "It's just that this matter involves the armed forces, which is a bit sensitive after all. Shen Li's matter will also be affected by it. He has been impeached a lot these days, and he really doesn't want to give new things to the censor.  "Furthermore, how to control such people is also a big question. If one person is not good, these people's swords will not be able to target anyone.  Shen Rui pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid that the wild nature is difficult to tame, so we need to think about it in the long term. If there is such a person, please stay here first. I have asked Master Du to go to Shaolin to negotiate in a few days and invite some Shaolin lay disciples to help. By then,  A young man with such skill in bow and horse can be handed over to a Shaolin disciple to help train him." Zhou Xian said that he was thoughtful, but he also said: "I only hope that the border can be peaceful for a while."  It implies that border officials may not be able to wait for these people to be trained well.    Last year there were a sudden increase in cattle, sheep and even horses, and those who were interested would pay attention to it.  Zhou Xian is already a confidant of Brother Shou and has good relations with Princess Chun'an's mansion, so it is not difficult to know the situation at the border.  Shen Rui sighed in his heart and said: "Although the sharp knife is sharp, if it hurts the hand, the gain outweighs the loss." Zhou Xian stopped talking, changed the subject, and went to discuss with Du Laoba and Wan Dongjiang to raid wealthy households who were selling stolen goods.  , Detailed plan to arrest mining thieves.  * * Shen Rui also has a headache when it comes to border customs.  In previous history, in the ninth and tenth years of Zhengde, Tatars invaded in large numbers.  When the horse market was restarted last year, Shen Rui was bent on using the interests of the horse market to hold back the Tatars and buy a few more years for the Ming Dynasty.  Li Yanqing¡¯s weapons research is progressing rapidly, and Jingwei Martial Arts and Shanxi Martial Arts are also vigorously training middle and low-level officers. When convenient and stable long-range firearms come out, and when batch after batch of outstanding generals rush to the border, the Ming Dynasty will no longer be afraid of border troubles.  Shen Rui has always maintained close contact with Cong Lan and Shen Xuan, and Pang Tianqing will also send letters for inquiries from time to time, so he knows very well about the horse market and the situation at the border.  But after all, being thousands of miles away, the ability to intervene is very limited.  Internally, Shen Rui can raise the purchase price of grain to prevent low prices from hurting farmers; but externally, he has no position and cannot ask Ming merchants to increase the purchase price of cattle and sheep to protect the grassland people's enthusiasm for breeding.  Therefore, we can only find another way and actively expand the types of trading items to make Tatar feel profitable.  But despite all the calculations, the drought in the grassland was not included.  "It's cold today, so maybe it's not obvious yet. When spring comes back in March and April, you'll be able to see the clues. You don't have to wait for autumn to come, and there may be a wave of disturbance."  By then, the DPRK and China will inevitably clamor to shut down the horse racing market.  But now Shen Rui is still worried about the grain and rice in Henan, and where is the excess that can be provided to the grassland?  !  There are quotas for salt and iron, and no matter how good the tea is, you will not be hungry. What else can appease the grassland While Shen Rui was busy preparing for the division of the army, and worried about the situation of border trade over there, a Quan Quan was welcomed.  Unexpected guests.  ??Lantian.  After Liu Jin was overthrown last year, Lan Zhang, who was framed by Liu Jin and demoted to Fuzhou, was able to redress his injustice and returned to Beijing to serve as the Imperial Censor of the Capital.  Shen Rui later learned from Yang Shen¡¯s letters that Lan Tian also followed his father Lan Zhang to Beijing to prepare for the Spring Festival.  This seven-year-old boy prodigy who can write poems and passed the 16th National Examination is very talented. However, he has been unlucky and has been hindered by evildoers.  This year was the best time: his enemy Liu Jin fell, and his father rose to become a new rich man; his master was the chief assistant Li Dongyang; he and the son of the elder Yang Tinghe were from the same sect, and they had no relationship; because the Lan family had a relationship with Shen Rui in Shandong  Cooperation, Wang Hua will not embarrass him.  He himself has a great talent, so he will definitely be on the list, not to mention the Dingjia.  But at the time of the general examination, Lan Tian appeared in Henan.  Shen Rui was quite surprised when he heard the news. He didn't know what happened in Beijing.  Of course, if it was related to his family, Zhang Hui should have come over to deliver the letter as soon as possible.  But even if it is not directly related to him, he does not dare to take it lightly.  At that time, Shen Rui often attended cultural events with his uncle and had many contacts with Lan Tian. He knew that this man was the most straightforward and did not like to beat around the bush, so he welcomed Lan Tian into the back office and directly led him into the secret room to inquire about the situation in Beijing.  .  Lan Tian waved his hand and said, "Don't worry. It's my father who wants to join King Ning and rectify the Salt Law. He is afraid that I will be used to confuse the public when I participate in the Spring Festival this year, so he asked me to wait for another three years." He laughed at himself: "Left  But after waiting for so many years, there is still only three years left." Shen Rui couldn't help but sigh.  When Shen Linan returned to Henan and met him in the future, he asked his confidants to send him a thick stack of letters, carefully analyzing the situation in Beijing and asking him to be more careful outside.  The news sent from Zhang Hui from time to time also shows that Ning Fan has not given up on the matter of the young master's heir, and more people will be involved.  Now that Lan Zhang is going to face Ning Fan directly, he must be fully prepared to eliminate any hidden dangers that may be criticized.  It¡¯s a pity that Lan Tian has such a talent.  Shen Rui didn't know what to say to comfort him at the moment, so he had to change the subject and asked him the purpose of coming to Henan.  "I know something about medical science. The teacher asked me to come over and take a look at the military medical school and pharmaceutical factory you mentioned." Lantian said with a smile.  Shen Rui's eyes lit up, he looked at Lan Tian, ??and asked tentatively: "Brother Lan is going to the four sides of the chief assistant."Are you going to the gym" Lantian said, "I heard the teacher mention this scene.  "When something happens, the disciple will do his best." I just try my best to share the teacher's worries.  " Then he smiled and said: "My uncle also hopes that I will open Penglai Academy to Henan. I heard that Henan is now opening medical clinics. I think it is more serious to open a Penglai medical school first.  ¡± Shen Rui couldn¡¯t help but be overjoyed. Lan Tian was an all-around scholar who was proficient in classics, history, astronomy, laws, and calendars. He also served with his father in Fuzhou for many years, and he also managed the general affairs clearly and clearly. He was able to stay in Henan, which is really a credit to him.  Great help. After Lantian agreed to stay, he quickly got into the role and told him all about his plans for the medical school and pharmaceutical factory. Finally, he asked Shen Rui: "I heard Pang Zikuo talk about border trade. He said.  You are looking for something that will create a large demand in the grassland - have you thought about medicinal materials?  I mean, veterinary drugs, patent medicines.  " The survival of the grasslands depends entirely on cattle and horses. Veterinary drugs are indeed urgently needed in the grasslands and will be in long-term and large-scale demand. Of course, there are limits on the drugs that are normally used by humans. After all, they are also considered a type of strategic materials. But veterinary drugs are different after all.  The part that can be used by both humans and animals can be made into powder, pills and other medicines, which can effectively prevent it from being made into medicine for injuries again. Shen Rui sighed: "I thought about it when I wanted to promote the cultivation of medicinal herbs in Zhangde, but I only realized it after understanding it.  , a good veterinarian is hard to find.  " Because of the horse administration in the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty paid great attention to veterinarians in the early years. In the 28th year of Hongwu, it was stipulated: "There is a veterinarian for every twenty-five stallions (after Yongle, it was changed to fifty horses), and the farmer selects one.  Two or three smart and handsome disciples will study, and one will be appointed to the profession. If the treatment fails, they will be replaced.  In addition, there are two veterinarians in each state and one veterinarian in each province. They have no rank and will be replaced at the end of the year.  "However, as the horse administration gradually deteriorates and finances in various places become increasingly tight, veterinarians are doing the most tiring and busiest work, but they are often deducted from their monthly salary, grain, and rice, and their lives are not guaranteed. Even if they work as official horses in the inn,  Because it is difficult for veterinarians to support their families with their pitiful salaries, most of them are passive and find other ways to make a living, and very few of them are really studying. In this way, in Henan, the selection of veterinarians has become a heavy burden for farmers, and they are avoided.  At first, Dengzhou was mountainous and not suitable for raising cattle and horses, and there were not many veterinarians. Later, Shen Rui promoted sea trade and Dengzhou purchased cattle and horses in large quantities from Liaodong.  . As Dengzhou became more prosperous, people's incomes increased, and cattle and horses became common people, the treatment of veterinarians was no longer a problem. Therefore, Shen Rui did not pay attention to the situation of veterinarians until he came to Henan.  It was only after Henan suffered successive disasters that he discovered the seriousness of the problem. Shen Rui sighed: "I have requested an order from Beijing to see if I can mobilize people who know veterinary medicine from Taipu Temple and Yuanma Temple to come to Haoshengjiao to teach local veterinarians.  People were also sent to Shandong to find a skilled veterinarian, but the journey was long and the trip back and forth took a lot of time.  I will make medicine after I finish my studies" "Then I don't know how long it will take until the Year of the Monkey. Military intelligence waits for no one." After saying that, Shen Rui stared at Lantian with burning eyes. Since he mentioned it, there should be a case. See him and listen to what he has to say.  , still looking indifferent, he hurriedly bowed and said: "Brother Lan, please teach me" Sure enough, Lan Tian smiled and supported him with both hands, and said: "Heng Yun is too polite.  I have also read some cow and horse scriptures, and may be able to help discuss with local veterinarians.  ¡± (End of this chapter)
