Lao Zhu said: "Now the position of the Governor's Office is vacant. Do you have any recommendations?"
Zhu Bai stepped forward and said, "My ministers recommended Fan Min from the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
Fan Min was one of the two people selected by Lao Zhu from the official tooth bureau. Now he is a clerk in the Ministry of Personnel who is responsible for copying documents.
You little "King of Hell", you are taking this opportunity to insert cronies into the Governor's Mansion.
The officials all gritted their teeth and jumped out to object: "Fan Min has never fought in a war, so he is not qualified to enter the governor's house."
In fact, it is not a big deal whether to fight or not. The key point is that Fan Min has never even participated in the imperial examination, and he is not even a scholar.
When Fan Min was selected by Lao Zhu to join the official department, the officials were already very angry.
Now Zhu Bai actually wants to get him into the Governor's Mansion without any merit. Why? !
It is unbearable! !
Zhu Biao pursed his lips and said nothing, seeming very unhappy.
Hu Weiyong also pretended to object.
Lao Zhu got a headache from the noise and got angry. He slapped the table and said, "It's settled, it's Fan Min."
Zhu Bai said: "Add another Condor."
Lao Zhu nodded: "Okay. Let Fan Min go to the Governor's Mansion to help copy documents, and Kang Duo will take over Feng Sheng's position."
The new generation of generals must slowly enter the Governor's Mansion. Otherwise, how will the handover be carried out then?
Kang Duo was Zhu Biao's man, so the officials couldn't object anymore, so they could only give up in anger.
Hu Weiyong secretly rejoiced: Haha, Lao Zhu, you have been fooled this time.
Fan Min has been attracted by us for a long time.
We just rarely have contact with Zhu Bai so as not to be discovered by him.
Sooner or later, Kang Duo will enter the Governor's Mansion. We can't stop him, as long as Fan Min can get in.
If Zhu Bai hadn't nominated him and we opposed it, you would definitely not have promoted him as an exception.
Because Kang Duo is still in Yunnan, he can't come back to express his gratitude, and he won't be able to report to the Governor's Mansion for a while.
Fan Min went to the Governor's Mansion for work the next day.
Hu Weiyong gave him a task, asking him to check the military and horse records of the world, and then make a copy and give it to them secretly.
Fan Min asked Zhu Bai what to do.
Zhu Bai was puzzled.
Hu Weiyong, your brain circuit is different from others. Even if you know the distribution of troops and horses in the world, so what?
Could it be that if you know it, you can use it all?
He thought for a while and said: "Change the numbers of the guards mentioned by the king to smaller numbers, keep the other data unchanged, and copy it to him."
Fan Min did as he was told.
Hu Weiyong was overjoyed when he got the register of armies and horses from all over the world: According to what is registered in this register, the soldiers and horses I have now are enough to compete with Lao Zhu.
The time of trouble is just around the corner.
Then he wrote a secret letter to Lin Xian: "I want you to recruit Japanese troops. It is initially scheduled to start on the Mid-Autumn Festival. When the time comes, we must cooperate with each other internally and externally."
Lin Xian did not hesitate to send someone to deliver the letter to Zhu Di. Zhu Di used the official channel to send it to Lao Zhu quickly.
Lao Zhu took the letter and said to Zhu Bai: "This Lin Xian is quite aware of current affairs."
Zhu Bai said, "That's not true. He is also a good fighter. I heard that he and Mr. Wu were in Dingliao and beat the Japanese pirates so that they did not dare to approach the shore. He and his fourth brother attacked from both sides and made Naha huddle at the foot of Changbai Mountain and dare not move. .”
Speaking of Changbai Mountain, Zhu Bai thought of the wave of braids that would bring disaster to China a few hundred years later.
It would be better to take advantage of the present situation and wipe out all the Mongolians.
It's a pity that I only have a hundred years, otherwise I would have to protect China from foreign invasion.
Lao Zhu nodded: "If he stays in Liaodong, helps us guard the border and makes up for his mistakes, we will forget about it."
Zhu Di also reported something. They intercepted the secret letter and money that Hu Weiyong sent to Naha, and asked Lao Zhu what to do with it.
In the secret letter, Hu Weiyong called himself the minister of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. He wanted to revive the great glory of the Yuan Dynasty and asked all the heroes of the Northern Yuan Dynasty to work together at that time.
Zhu Bai thought of the secret letter from Hu Weiyong that he had seen in Wang Baobao, shook his head and sighed: "Is this bastard really dizzy, or is he urgently seeking medical treatment? If Naha can cross the line of Tieling Chifeng, I guess He wins."
Lao Zhu couldn't help laughing, and said to Zhu Biao: "Reply a letter to Lao Si and ask your twelfth brother to send someone to deliver it. Just say that he can keep the money to raise troops, and the letter will be burned. That The person who delivered the letter was also killed directly. Tell him to pay more attention. In order to be sure, Hu Weiyong will definitely send more than one person to deliver the letter. Stop one and make one. Let one go and it will be a waste of Ming Dynasty's military expenditure. Just find someone to deliver to Hu Weiyong Write a reply in Naha's tone. You don't need to write too much. Just let Hu Weiyong know that Naha agrees. Hu Weiyong can't tell it anyway."
Zhu Biao hurriedly replied: "Yes."
Hu Weiyong sent many people out to deliver letters one after another. After waiting for many days, he finally received a "reply" from Naha.
The letter was slipped quietly through the crack in the back door of Hu's mansion.
There is only one word "can" written on it.
Hu Weiyong was overjoyed.
One hundred thousand! One hundred thousand Beiyuan people!
I have one hundred thousand more cavalry! !
Zhu Yuanzhang, just wait to die.
In fact, Hu Weiyong has been trying to win over Huaixi nobles, but with little success.
Only Li Cunyi was completely devoted to him.
Others have a wait-and-see attitude.
After thinking about it, it was because I did not contribute much when Lao Zhu conquered the world and had little friendship with these nobles.
You have to win over someone with charisma.
This person is Li Shanchang.
Although he was forced to withdraw from Li Shanchang's house, he could still make a fuss about it.
He wrote many letters to Li Shanchang, saying: "Now that the people in the world are in dire straits, and all the officials are extremely resentful of the emperor, I just want to comply with God's will. The lower officials have already cleaned up your mansion, and are just waiting for Mr. Li to come back to satisfy the emperor."
And so on.
They are all like stones sinking into the sea, with no news.
He did not give up and sent Li Cunyi to visit Li Shanchang to persuade him.
Li Cunyi brought many supplements and blue velvet bought at a high price to Dingyuan.
Since the two brothers of the Li family became prosperous, they spent huge sums of money to rebuild their old house.
Nowadays, the scale of the Li family's old residence is larger than that of Yingtian.
The government officials in Dingyuan respected Li Shanchang very much, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that Li Shanchang was a local emperor.
Li Cunyi talked about the family affairs for a while and then began to persuade Li Shanchang: "Brother, Lao Zhu has a lot of sons, all of them have fiefs and salaries, and they will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives. No matter how many descendants their sons have, they will be supported by the court. . He doesn’t care about those vassal kings who are arrogant and domineering in the vassal territory. But we ministers have worked hard all our lives, but we can’t support ourselves. It’s really unfair.”
Li Shanchang remained silent: Lao Zhu is not such a heartless person, but he just doesn't like corrupt officials.
Anyway, my old friends and I are living quite comfortably.
In this life, I have become an extremely popular minister, one person is inferior to ten thousand people, and I enjoy all the glory and wealth.
