Ru Yu opened the "Blessings" and saw a big name:
Chang Baiye.
The ancient "Blessing Notes" were not like those of later generations, where the name was written in the lower right corner or on the right side. The characters were small and not conspicuous. At this time, the popular "Blessing Notes" were big names.
In the middle, it is written in size 2 font. As for the two sides, it is often written in font size 5. It is small and hard to see clearly with poor eyesight. The general content is: Who am I? When I come to your house for dinner, what are you prepared for? Good rations and the like, that is, explain your identity, agree on a time, and explain why you are here.
Ru Rui was no stranger to the name Chang Baiye, and could even be said to be deeply impressed. It was precisely because this man ran to Yangzhou that the head of the Yangzhou commander Shi was hung on the flagpole.
Of course, the Shanxi merchants sent 500 war horses. As the minister of the Ministry of War at that time, Ru Jin naturally met the Shanxi merchants, got to know Chang Qianli, Hou Xiyu and others, and naturally also met Chang Baiye.
Ru Yu read it several times and then handed it to Yang Pu.
Yang Pu glanced at it and saw it said:
[Chang Baiye, the chief steward of the Chang family in Taigu, pays homage to your lord, and would like to pay a visit at 10:00 tomorrow to offer suggestions for immigration. 】
Ru Yu poured a cup of tea and sighed: "Boss, it seems Chang Qianli has found a successor. Do you know Chang Baiye?"
Yang Pu closed the "greeting card" and replied: "I heard a little about it, but I don't know the details."
Ru Yu pointed to the tea bowl on the table, motioned Yang Pu to come over and taste it, and then said: "It's hard to say what kind of person this person is, but he has been to the Northern Yuan Dynasty and crossed the desert. Since the Shanxi merchants returned to Shanxi from the capital , Chang Baiye became the chief steward of the Chang family, which at least shows that this person is not simple."
Yang Pu was a little confused and asked: "But as a businessman, what can he do to immigrate?"
Ru Ru thought for a while and had no clue.
Many officials in the court did not understand the power of businessmen at all. They mostly regarded them as socially unstable elements and devalued them as bitches. What role could bitches have?
Ru Yu pointed at the "greeting card" and said: "But Chang Baiye is still too young after all and is not experienced enough in dealing with things. I think Chang Qianli didn't know about this."
Yang Pu nodded clearly and agreed: "Indeed, the agreed time exposed Chang Baiye's inexperience. Perhaps he has no experience in dealing with court officials."
The time agreed upon was at Xu. At this time, the sun had gone down and dinner had been eaten. Basically, it was all in the dark. Visiting at this time was definitely not just for free.
But considering that the government office only handles prison accommodation, stick service, etc., Chang Baiye probably has no interest, so it is impossible to come here to handle business.
But if you come quietly at night, you don't want to come in through the back door, right?
As a businessman, bribing officials is equivalent to pushing officials into a pit of fire. In Hong Wunian, countless people were killed by the corrupt ghost knife...
Rujun didn't think Chang Baiye was sending money. He didn't have the guts yet. After all, he was from the central court, not a local official. And with Chang Baiye's head, he should have expected someone from the Security Bureau in the Chief Envoy's Yamen.
"Has the person who sent you my visit left?"
Ru Yu asked.
Yang Pu shook his head and sent Feng Ye away. He had to wait for the host to reply before leaving. Otherwise, how would you know that it would be inconvenient to receive him.
Rujun thought for a moment and said seriously: "Maybe the businessmen have a way that we can't think of. Now that the immigrants are in trouble, why don't we just listen?"

Listen to them. The news was spread to the outside world, and three days later, wealthy businessmen from all over the country were entertained in the government office, hoping that the wealthy businessmen could offer advice and suggestions for immigration. "
Yang Pu thought for a while, understood the meaning, and quickly agreed to make arrangements.
If Chang Baiye paid a visit in the dark, even if it was a meritorious service, it would probably be a failure. The reason is very simple: he is not aboveboard and aboveboard enough.
Once the news spreads, it may also damage the reputation of the chief envoy, government officials and governor, which makes people think:
Look, they met secretly at night. There must be some ulterior secret, right?
Chang Baiye never thought about this kind of consequences. He only cared about whether his goal could be achieved.
As some people insist, justice is the justice of the behavior itself, the process of behavior, and the results of behavior. If the behavioral process is "unjust", then even if the behavioral results are just, the justice will not be established.
Obviously, Chang Baiye ignored procedural justice and focused too much on result justice.
But it didn't matter this time. He was lucky enough to meet Ru Rui, and Ru Rui was a smart person and helped him.
Northeast, Daning.
King Zhu Quan of the Liao Dynasty opened the window and looked at the trees that were beginning to sprout green, and then he realized that the "spring" in the north had finally arrived.
Although it is early May, the weather is not yet warm for the Northeast, especially at night, when people feel cold from time to time.
The grassland has not yet fully recovered. Only sporadic grasses that have woken up early have sprouted. It will take some time to wait for the grass to grow and the eagle is busy.
"What is Sheng Yong doing?"
Zhu Quan asked Chang Shi Liu Jian through the window.
Liu Jian saluted and replied: "Your Majesty, I heard the news that Sheng Dusi left Daning City two days ago and went to Xinchengwei."
"New City Guard? What is he doing there?"
Zhu Quan was a little puzzled.
Liu Jian explained: "The specific cause has not yet been identified, but there is news that Xinchengwei suffered ice and water damage."
"Oh, that's right."
Zhu Quan was relieved.
Daning City and New City were both built on the lower reaches of the Laohamulun River.
The upper reaches of the Lao Hamulun River have a narrow valley with towering mountains on both sides, and the river flows rapidly at the bottom of the valley. The middle reaches are in areas controlled by Duoyanwei and Fuyuwei, where overgrazing and tree cutting have led to pasture degradation and soil erosion.
A little less soil is not fatal, but what is fatal is that there are many tributaries in this section that converge into the old Hamulun River, causing its water volume to increase, and this will cause disaster to Daning and Xincheng downstream.
Fortunately, Daning City is strong and the terrain is high, so there is usually no major incident. But Xincheng is a small city after all, not as good as Daning, and it is right by the river. An ice flood can easily cause the river to flood, and a large amount of ice will hit the city.
This kind of problem has occurred in previous years, and Sheng Yong went to investigate it personally. I think it might be a bit tricky this time.
"Is that eagle still in Daning?"
Zhu Quan asked again.
Liu Jian knew that Zhu Quan was asking Liu Changge, the former command room of the Security Bureau, but he could not answer this question.
Liu Changge is like a ghost. Now that Prince Ning's mansion is under surveillance, it is difficult to grasp Liu Changge's movements under such circumstances.
Seeing Liu Jian's grimace, Zhu Quan just waved his hand and said, "It seems that I have really been grounded, but who can ground me? It's almost Tolu Huchaer's birthday, right?" , go to the accurate
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Prepare some gifts, it's time for me to go out and do some activities. "
Liu Jian agreed and went to prepare gifts.
Guard Keshan walked into the room and secretly reported to Zhu Quan: "Although Sheng Yong contacted Duoyan Guard and Fuyu Guard several times, he did not gain the trust of the two guards. Under the command of Sheng Yong, Daning Dusi and Duoyan and Fuyu A mutual market was opened, but only based on wool, horses, etc. Because the winter was long and the temperature rose very slowly in spring, the transactions were in trouble several times, which made Tolu Huchaer not happy. "
Zhu Quan laughed loudly and despised the wool trading market. He said: "It is difficult for Tuolu Huchaer and others to use war horses to trade. They are also worried that the Ming Dynasty will become powerful. As for wool, just that little bit of wool can be used to weave clothes. How much? How useful can it be? It’s just a child’s play. Without me, Zhu Quan, Sheng Yong is still far away from being able to sit firmly in Daning. The one who can conquer wild wolves is not a hunter, but a wolf!”
After many years of fighting on the battlefield, the brave and fearless Zhu Quan left a great reputation here. With him around, Duoyan Guard, Fuyu Guard, and Taining Guard did not dare to mess around. The disappearance of Taining Guard, to a large extent, It has something to do with Zhu Quan's "tacit approval".
And this acquiescence is a deal.
The transaction started last year and was paid this year.
Early the next morning, Tuolu Huchaer sent his deputy Ha Ergai to Daning City to ask for an audience with King Ning on the grounds that Tuolu Huchaer's birthday was approaching.
At this time, Mao Zheng and He Yunzhong were left behind in Daning.
The two of them felt a little embarrassed when they saw Ha'er with a smile on his face. They did not dare to stop him and let him enter Daning City.
There was no way, there were ten thousand cavalry in formation outside the city, so there had to be an excuse not to let him enter the palace.
The imperial court did not issue a decree banning Ning Wang Zhu Quan, nor did it say that Zhu Quan was not allowed to leave the city, nor was it said that Zhu Quan was not allowed to meet guests.
It's just that when Sheng Yong was around, he was well-informed and acted decisively. No matter where Prince Ning went, he would accompany him "personally" for safety reasons. If someone of low quality asked to see him, Sheng Yong would not let him into the city.
But Mao Zheng, He Yunzhong and others were not Sheng Yong. They had no authority and no courage.
One thing is worthy of recognition. The two of them said hello as soon as they knew something happened. Here, Ning Wang Zhu Quanggang and Ha Erji rode out of Daning City. Mao Zheng had already sent someone to rush to deliver a message to Sheng Yong.
On a hill, Liu Changge leaned on his arms and looked at the blue sky, listening to the distant roar of the earth indifferently.
Qianhu Yang Cheng was a little anxious. He pushed Liu Changge and said, "Sir, Prince Ning is out of the city!"
Liu Changge closed his eyes and said softly: "Just leave the city when you leave the city. What's the fuss about? Isn't this what we expected?"
Yang Cheng was a little worried and said: "The Duoyan Guards have become more and more unruly now. From time to time, they enter Daning's territory with thousands of horses and refuse to change after repeated warnings. Now if King Ning conspires with Tuolu Hucha'er and others, he is likely to threaten Daning City.”
Liu Changge opened his eyes, sat up, took out a document from his arms, handed it to Yang Cheng, and said, "Don't worry, Daning will make no mistakes."
After Yang Cheng took the document and read it, he quickly said: "This... Sheng Dusi went to Xinchengwei not for the ice platoon, but..."
Liu Changge sneered and said disdainfully: "What kind of Bingpai deserves Sheng Dusi's personal intervention? The emperor has always been thinking about Daning. He gave us reassurance, so we should get things done."
Yang Cheng shuddered and was secretly surprised that the emperor was far away in Nanjing and actually set a trap here in Daning...
