Chapter 375 The Surveillance Arrives
Fan Ning asked Zhu Pei to take Zhu Yuanfeng's father and daughter to Tang County by boat, and he took his entourage to Kunzhou, and everyone rode in the direction of Qun Mu Si.

The Qunmu Division is located in the north of Kunzhou. It consists of dozens of large wooden houses and ten stables. There are currently nearly 20 officials and 500 herdsmen. The Qunmu Division is not under the jurisdiction of the Kunzhou government and the overseas business administration In the imperial court group pastor.

"At present, our horses have increased from the original 3000 to more than 2000, and there are more than [-] pregnant horses. It is estimated that there will be more than [-] horses early next year."

Metropolitan Yang Yun talked eloquently, and Han Qi who walked beside him nodded repeatedly. Han Qi had led soldiers in Xixia and knew the importance of war horses well, so he didn't meet Fan Ning when he came to Tang County, so he went north to come to Tang County. Director of Group Herds, inspect the horse breeding situation here.

"How many horses of that kind are there?" Han Qi asked again.

"About 370 horses! Last spring we captured more than 130 wild horses twice in Jingzhou, and obtained more than 1000 top-quality stallions. These stallions gave birth to more than [-] second-generation horses this year. They are obviously tall and strong, and they are extremely strong. The earth has improved the lineage of our war horses, and we plan to continue this lineage and cultivate [-] high-quality war horses within five years."

Han Qi was very interested and asked, "Show me the offspring of these stallions?"

As soon as Yang Yun beckoned, a shepherd immediately brought five or six small horses. These horses were only a few months old and looked very naive, but Han Qi could recognize war horses. Although these horses were still small, they were well-proportioned and had long legs. It has a small head, smooth fur, and a bushy tail. He pressed hard on the back of one of the ponies, and the pony remained motionless.

"Good horse!"

Han Qi praised sincerely: "These horses will be first-class war horses when they grow up!"

At this time, another shepherd led two tall and strong horses out. Yang Yun took the reins and smiled at Han Qi: "Han Qi, look at these two horses again?"

Han Qi's eyes lit up, he looked up and down the two tall and strong horses with powerful hooves, and asked hesitantly, "Are these also descendants of those wild horses?"

"The descendants of those wild horses are still small horses. These two horses are the offspring of the imperial stallion donated by Zhu Daguan. They are rare and good horses. These two horses are given to Han Xianggong. It is a commemoration of Xianggong's visit to Kunzhou! "

Han Qi felt a little uncomfortable, and even publicly bribed himself, how could this be done!
Han Qi waved his hands and smiled, "I accept Yang Dujian's favor, but I am old and rarely ride horses, so let's keep these horses for breeding!"

Yang Yun tried to persuade him again and again, but Han Qi just didn't accept it. In the end, Han Qi's face became gloomy, "Yang Dujian, do you have to tell me clearly that you are willing to let go?"

Yang Yun's forehead was sweating, and he bowed and said, "I know my mistakes in my humble position, please forgive me, Mr. Han!"

"Bring the horse back!"

Han Qi waved his hand, Yang Yun had no choice but to lead the horse back angrily.

At this moment, someone shouted in the distance: "Fan Zhizhou is here!"

Han Qi was overjoyed and rushed to meet him, only to see a group of cavalry rushing towards him from a distance, and the leader was Fan Ning.

Fan Ning ran up to him, got off his horse and said with a smile, "I didn't expect to meet Mr. Han here. I really don't see each other anywhere in life!"

Han Qi narrowed his eyes and said, "You brat, you actually attacked other countries without the court's permission. You've broken a big taboo. I'm here to save you. Do you understand, brat?"

Fan Ning scratched his head and said, "Han Xianggong has always been upright and not favoritism. If I ask Han Xianggong to rescue him, isn't it against Han Xianggong's principles of life?"

"Do you think I'm lying to you?"

"Of course Mr. Han wouldn't lie to me, but those millions of taels of gold and silver should save me!" Fan Ning said with a smile.

Han Qi had no choice but to point to Fan Ning and said, "Let me tell you, you can't rely on luck every time. Although this time the officials will spare you once for the sake of gold and silver, it is more important that you are a first-time offender. If you If you make similar mistakes again, I don’t know how many people will come to catch you, and at that time, the king of heaven and I will not be able to save you, understand?”

When it came to the end, Han Qi's expression became very serious. He didn't want a pillar of talent like Fan Ning to fall into capriciousness in the end.

Fan Ning also put away his laughter, bowed and saluted, "Thank you Mr. Han for caring for the younger generation!"

Han Qi turned pale, nodded and said, "I've finished inspecting the ranch. I want to visit Han County. You can go with me!"

"Humble post obeys orders!"

Pausing for a while, Fan Ning asked again: "How did Mr. Han come from Tang County?"

"Of course I came here by boat. There seems to be no way to get here from Tang County!"

Fan Ning was a little embarrassed. He could also ride a horse from Tang County, but it was too far to walk by the sea.

Fan Ning and Han Qi got on their horses and, surrounded by dozens of attendants, introduced to Han Qi as they walked, "Xiaozhi plans to build an official road from Han County to Qun Mu Si, and Tang County will also build one. In this way, Kunzhou A road network has initially been formed."

"Then when do you plan to start building roads?" Han Qi asked.

"In fact, it has already started. The city and docks of Han County have basically been built. More than [-] Japanese laborers who built the city have already started logging and building roads from Han County to the direction of Qun Musi. A branch official road will be built in the middle, leading to the Jin County in the northwest."

"But Jin County hasn't approved it yet, and you want to cut it first and then play it?" Han Qi gave Fan Ning a dissatisfied look. He found that Fan Ning did not do enough to respect the court, and he needed to beat him all the time.

Fan Ning hastily said: "This time I won't kill first and then play later. I just reserved a seat in Jin County, at most. At most."

"At most one town will be built first, right?" Han Qi said coldly.

Three black lines appeared on Fan Ning's forehead, "How could Mr. Han guess it?"

Han Qi snorted, "This kind of trick is already old-fashioned, how could I not understand it? Everyone thinks they are smart, as long as they don't build the city wall, then there is no violation of regulations. It is obviously a county seat, but if they insist on calling it a small town, they think the court Don’t understand? This kind of person pretends to be smart. When the court evaluates officials, they will lose points in terms of honesty.

Fanning was speechless for a moment, his well-thought-out plan was full of loopholes, what should we do?
Han Qi glanced at him quickly, and said lightly: "Let's do this! While I'm in Kunzhou these few days, you should quickly write a report and talk about the reasons for rushing to build the town. If I feel that the reasons are sufficient, I, as a privy envoy Will approve your report."

Fan Ning was moved in his heart, this is the demeanor of the seniors who truly support the younger generation!

"The humble staff will write a report as soon as possible!"

Fan Ning accompanied Han Qi on the official ship, and the big ship headed west. In the morning of the next day, Fan Ning came to Han Qi's main cabin and handed Han Qi a report written overnight.

"It's finished so soon?" Han Qi smiled as he took the report.

"There is indeed a good reason, and the ship happened to pass by the reserved area in Jin County."

"Oh? Let's go and see."

Han Qi quickly walked out of the cabin and came to the bow. The official ship happened to pass through the strait. Fan Ning pointed to the faintly visible land in the north and said, "There is Jingzhou. Jingzhou is very narrow and long. The terrain in the south is like a sword. It’s only thirty miles long, and it’s nearly a thousand miles long. We stationed a military camp at the southernmost point, with about [-] soldiers, but this military camp needs logistical support, and Jingzhou has no Song people who have settled down so far, so.”

The smile on Han Qi's face couldn't help but burst out. This guy really has an excuse. He is so glamorous that people can't refuse. Moreover, supporting the logistics of the military camp happens to be a matter under the jurisdiction of the Privy Council. In order to get his approval, this guy did a lot Think hard!

"So you plan to build a small town as a logistical support for the Jingzhou military camp on the other side?"

"Exactly!"

Another guide Fan Ning said: "About ten miles diagonally across the strait, there happens to be a good natural harbor, which is also a rare ice-free port in Kunzhou. I plan to put the town there. The town is upgraded to a county, Mr. Han can accept this plan!"

"If it's true, it's barely acceptable!"

"Of course it's true, why don't I accompany Mr. Han to the Jingzhou military camp to have a look!"

Han Qi shook his head, "I don't have time to go this time, the time is very tight to visit Kunzhou this time, and then we need Akita City!"

Fan Ning felt a chill in his heart, "Mr. Han still wants to go to Akita City?"

Han Qi nodded, "I'll just tell you the truth. This time I came to Kunzhou mainly to review your dispatch of troops to Japan. I want to investigate the actual situation and then report to the Emperor and Zhizhengtang. If there is something to hide, then I must report it truthfully!"

Fan Ning was silent for a moment and asked: "What exactly is the concealment that Mr. Han refers to?"

"All of them. There are mainly three points. Is your motive for sending troops to expand the depth of defense? Secondly, did the nature of your sending troops cause an invasion of Japan? Or, as you said yourself, you are just annihilating local forces. There is no direct confrontation with the Japanese imperial court; the last third point is, have you filled your own pockets with the large amount of wealth seized this time?"
