Chapter 650: Prepare for a rainy day
"Isn't that true?" Wang Yingxiong was also startled by Feng Ziying's sudden "whimsy". If this idea was true, it would be too dangerous.
Feng Ziying shook her head and told the other party what she had seen and heard during the Linqing Civil War five years ago. Wang Yingxiong suddenly felt restless.
"The Jianzhou and Chahar people and even the Horqin and Tumut people have spies in the capital city. Long Jinwei also knows this. The White Lotus Sect must also have dark spots in the capital city, but Long Jinwei may not be aware of it. "Wang Yingxiong has been in the Ministry of War for so long and has become increasingly familiar with military affairs. "The Staff Department is weak in this aspect. We learn more through external inquiries. The two cannot be combined well."
“Anyone with ambitions will definitely make a fool of himself in the capital city of the Great Zhou Dynasty. This is normal.” Feng Ziying said with a sullen face, “Fei Xiong, I’m afraid you have to report this matter to Mr. Chai as soon as possible...”
"I'm going to report it? It's not appropriate." Wang Yingxiong hesitated.
He is a Jinshi in political affairs, so he is nothing. He reports directly to Zuo Shilang. This is a bit exaggerated. It is equivalent to the feeling that a college student who is still interning in the Ministry of National Defense has to report directly to the Executive Deputy Minister. Of course, this intern college student is The Central Organization Department's training target, even this is too exaggerated.
"There is nothing inappropriate. Da Zhang fell in the eyes of Lord Chai when he found an opportunity. Although he had a hard time in Western Xinjiang, when he came back this time, his fortune was extraordinary." Feng Ziying was talking about Zheng Chongjian.
This is also the most enviable among this group of Guanzheng Jinshi. Feng Ziying and others cannot compare, but Zheng Chongjian and Fang Youdu were originally very ordinary among their subjects, and they all seized the opportunity to become famous. Even Fan Jingwen, He Fengsheng, and Wu Yan are not as good as these two. They only started to shine in the past two months after they were selected by the officials and entered the Zhongshu Department.
Seeing that Wang Yingxiong was still hesitant, Feng Ziying could understand the other party's anxiety, "Feixiong, we started making preparations last year, so weren't your brothers and sisters also collecting information for you? Based on this, you are It’s time to go to Mr. Chai to explain the situation. Mr. Chai is now a new official and needs to comprehensively assess the situation inside and outside the Great Zhou Dynasty. It’s just right for him to go there at this time.”
“Then Ziying, you...?” Wang Yingxiong was still a little embarrassed.
"I don't need it. I found something for Mr. Chai to do two days ago. Mr. Chai also recruited me and talked about it for a long time. I also told Mr. Chai that I will not seek political advice if I am not in my position. , I am working for Zhongshu Ke now, it is best not to come to me again for such military affairs." Feng Ziying smiled and spread her hands: "Feixiong, do you think I still have extra energy to focus on other things?"
Wang Yingxiong also knew that Feng Ziying was now a famous and busy person, something that even the rest of them could not envy.
In the past, they were still a little dissatisfied and envious, but as Feng Ziying came back from Western Xinjiang and proposed the strategy of opening up the sea, especially after going to Jiangnan twice and being visited by the emperor and the cabinet many times, their thoughts gradually faded away.
You can still catch up if you are one or two steps behind, but if you are ten or twenty steps behind, it is beyond the reach of human beings. It is better to be down-to-earth, based on reality, and do your current work well, so as not to be left too far behind. .
Seeing that Wang Yingxiong was silent and knowing that the other party accepted his suggestion, Feng Ziying breathed a sigh of relief and talked to him about Ye Hebu's affairs.
Wang Yingxiong is still very concerned about military affairs. He also mentioned that the Ula tribe is now facing the fierce attack of the Jianzhou Jurchens and is somewhat unable to withstand it. It is judged that if there are no accidents or no external intervention, the Ula tribe will be defeated by the Jianzhou Jurchens within three years. Eat.
"This is something that the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot tolerate. The Ula tribe is the gateway to the Jurchens in the East China Sea. Once the Ula tribe is annexed by the Jurchens in Jianzhou, the various Jurchen tribes in the East China Sea will be scattered. Their tribal structure is backward and loose, their strength is relatively weak, and they have no influence on the Jurchens in Jianzhou. Far less hostile than the four Haixi tribes, it is very likely that the Jurchens in Jianzhou will be conquered in a relatively short period of time. By then, even North Korea may have to turn to Jianzhou..."
Feng Ziying expressed her views, and Wang Yingxiong agreed, but was also quite surprised, "Ziying, your understanding of the Jurchen tribes is so deep, I don't think even the Ministry of War can catch up with you, right?" , Your Majesty is going to be the Governor of Jiliao?"
This is no longer a secret, Feng Ziying nodded: "Maybe so, it was originally said to be the governor of the three sides, but now it seems that Mr. Li is ill, so I have to let my father temporarily take over..."
“Is Mr. Li really ill?” Wang Yingxiong looked strange.
Feng Ziying glanced at the other party and said, "That's not important. At least this is a gesture. He is not going to play a role in Liaodong."
Wang Yingxiong nodded silently. This was the end of an era, announcing the end of Li's rule in Liaodong for decades.
Military affairs are urgent, but that is not Feng Ziying's main business. Fortunately, Wang Yingxiong is available. At least he can remind the cabinet and the Ministry of War people not to be too negligent at any time.
Feng Ziying believed that Chai Ke would know what to do if Wang Yingxiong reported this.
We had lunch at Ma Xiang Hutong. Third sister You, Tiangui, was here. Both sisters, Tiangui, were rushing. Feng Ziying could hold second sister You and sleep for a while, but the two girls might have no choice but to hang out in the evening.
After taking a nap with Sister You in my arms for half an hour and then having a fierce battle, I feel refreshed.
Without the help of her younger sister, Second Sister You is no match at all, but with such soft jade in her arms, Second Sister You has a gentle temperament and only cares about catering to her husband's picks. At this time, she has no strength at all, even if It is comfortable to lie down for a while.
It was You San who personally dressed Feng Ziying, and Feng Ziying finally got up.
Ni Er was already waiting outside the door.
This guy is indeed a talented person. He knew that it was difficult to get into the Feng Mansion, so he simply stayed here. He also basically figured out the pattern of Feng Ziying's coming here. Basically, he would come here every three to five days. Either noon or night.
Night is naturally inconvenient. Feng Ziying has to leave early the next morning. Only at noon, when she wakes up, she still has some free time.
"Uncle Feng, everyone has basically maintained the current situation." Ni Er rubbed his hands and said happily: "Uncle Feng's method still works. There are still some fears over there..."
Feng Ziying waved her hand, "Ni Er, take a long-term view. Don't just focus on this. The new Minister of Industry, Mr. Li, also wants to make a difference. In addition, there is some cooperation from Shuntian Prefecture, and the DPRK itself I am not very satisfied with the situation in the city, so in the future there will be many demolitions and repairs in the streets and alleys. Don’t you have a group of people under you? Find someone who knows a lot about construction and pull up the team yourself. If this happens in the future The Ministry of Industry has work, can’t it be taken over?…”
Ni Er's eyes shone. This was Uncle Feng giving him directions again. "Don't worry, I don't have anything. I just don't need people. I went to Baoding Prefecture and Hejian Prefecture last year to escape famine, and another one or two thousand people came." , there are also some people who know this industry, and some of them have become my disciples. I am still thinking about how to make a living for these people..."
"Don't take everything into your own hands, but also learn to choose and employ people. Do you have so much energy to take care of it? Don't the Jia Mansion and the houses of Concubine Wu and Concubine Zhou in the north have to build gardens? You didn't ask Do you have any information connections?" Feng Ziying reminded: "These are all bosses who are not short of money. As long as you have connections and you can get some corners, it will be a big business to make money..."
Since the Jia family and several other noble concubine families have already bet on this and can't let go of their face, Feng Ziying will naturally not ask for trouble. These families estimate that the cost of building the mansion and garden will not be less than one or two hundred. Wan Yinzi, although it is a private garden, but it is Bizhao Tianjia's visit to visit relatives. The benefits here are self-evident, and it is up to Ni Er to figure it out on his own.
“To be honest, the little boy from Jia Mansion has already been online...” Ni Er chuckled, but it didn’t look good to have such a mysterious smile on his sinister face.
“Who?” Feng Ziying was also a little curious.
"Uncle Zhen, Uncle Xiao Rong, and Mistress Lian also came in to talk..." Ni Er was very sure.
Feng Ziying was stunned for a moment and felt that it was similar. If Jia Lian did not stay in Beijing, it would be impossible for Jia She and Jia Zheng to personally handle such matters. It is estimated that only Jia Rong and Wang Xifeng would be responsible for the specific management. However, How could Jia She not step in for such a fat job?
“Master Pardon didn’t ask anything?”
Ni Er was also surprised. This man really knew the Jia family, but considering that he had a maid sent by the Jia family and was marrying the nieces of the two masters, he naturally understood and nodded: "Master I also asked someone to say hello to me and said that I wanted to share a share, but I haven’t responded yet..."
Feng Ziying laughed dumbly. This was Jia She. With such a fat piece of meat, how could he not come to share the pie?
“Well, you can decide this matter yourself, but for the Wu family and Zhou family I just mentioned, you can also find a way to get in and make a fortune,..."
There was no other tone in Feng Ziying's words, but Ni Er could understand and nodded: "Don't worry, there is nothing in the capital city that Ni Er can't squeeze in. It's just some muddy work. Who does it? It's nothing more than that. Even in the situation with the Jia Mansion, even if there is no way out now, Ni Er can still find a way out!"
Feng Ziying nodded with satisfaction. He really needs such a generous person under his command. He can be arranged to do many inconvenient things.
There is no unified construction work in the capital city. Most of them are to find some experienced people to take the lead, and then each find a familiar buddy. Feng Ziying hopes that Ni Er can take the lead in increasing specialization.
