The Ming Dynasty took an unconventional approach

Honglu Temple~~
Cao Nai understood immediately and said, "There is indeed a vacancy in the Honglu Temple. Yang Shan is about to go on a diplomatic mission to Japan, so let Pan Hong come back and promote him to the position of Right Prime Minister of the Honglu Temple."

Even though they are all sixth grade, there are differences between the sixth grade and the sixth grade.

The sixth-rank border inspectors do hard labor, and their contributions are rarely seen, so promotion or even transfer is extremely difficult.

Why did all the civil and military officials automatically pass over Pan Hong when he went to inspect the northwest border and Xue Shao when he went to inspect the south of the Yangtze River?
Jiangnan is dangerous, and it is even a question whether Xue Shao can come back alive. In the northwest, there are fewer hidden attacks, but more open attacks. Not to mention the danger of encountering enemy troops at the border, even the sandstorm can kill people.

Wang Wen asked Pan Hong to patrol the northwest first, then the north, then the northeast, and then turn around and start patrolling from the northwest again. What could Pan Hong do?
Su Wu herded sheep for nineteen years, and as long as Wang Wen survived, Pan Hong could endure the wind and sand in the northwest for twenty years.

Cao Nai was the Minister of Personnel, so if he wanted to transfer Pan Hong back, he had to go through Wang Wen.

Cao Nai chuckled: "Pan Hong really gave birth to a good daughter."

Cao Nai sent someone to transfer Pan Hong.

The Censorate rejected his transfer request and introduced two candidates to him.

The Ministry of Personnel refused and insisted on recruiting Pan Hong.

Wang Wen personally approved the reply, stating that Pan Hong was currently patrolling the northwest border and had an important case on hand and could not leave without permission. If the Honglu Temple was really in urgent need of staff, he had other suitable censors to recommend.

Cao Nai sneered and threw it to Chen Xun: "See, I said Pan Hong is difficult to persuade, right?"

If he were in the capital, he could just go past Wang Wen and look for Pan Hong. As long as Pan Hong was willing, the Honglu Temple would have no objection. As long as the Ministry of Personnel issued a written document, the transfer would not be a big problem.

But now Pan Hong is not here, and Wang Wen firmly disagrees, so it can only be approved by the emperor.

Cao Nai formally submitted a memorial to the emperor, proposing that Pan Hong be transferred back to the capital.

Wang Wen also found Wang Zhen early and whispered, "Sir, they want to use Pan Hong. Could it be that they have colluded with Pan Yun?"

Wang Zhen glanced at him and said, "If you don't let him go, what can they do to you? Whoever has Pan Hong in his hands holds half of Pan Yun's lifeline."

"I'm afraid they will pass through Your Majesty..."

Wang Zhen said calmly: "Your Majesty, I'll watch over here."

Wang Wen was relieved and continued to refuse the Ministry of Personnel's call on the grounds that Pan Hong was investigating a major case.

The two of them had no idea that Pan Hong was actually investigating a big case.

The father and his two sons were lying in the pit at this time, not daring to move. They looked at the two sides not far ahead and then slowly retracted their heads back into the pit after exchanging bows and arrows and walking away.

Yamen runner Tao Ping exhaled, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and thankfully said, "Fortunately, we were not discovered."

He was a local yamen runner who came to guide Pan Hong, and he never expected to discover such a secret.

Oh my God, there are people among the border troops who collude with foreign tribes to buy and sell weapons. This is a capital crime.

The yamen runner had been working for more than ten years, but he never expected to discover such a big case in his lifetime. He approached Pan Hong cautiously and asked in a low voice: "Sir, what should we do?"

Pan Hong pondered and whispered, "Go back first. Keep this matter confidential and don't let anyone know. Even if your county magistrate asks, you can't tell him."

The yamen runner nodded vigorously.

Pan Hong immediately called his two sons to follow him, and the four of them quietly returned to the city, pretending that they knew nothing.

After closing the doors and windows and lighting the lights, Pan Hong said thoughtfully, "Yue'er, take the second son to Taiyuan for a study tour tomorrow, and then go south to Jiangxi to find your sister."

Pan Yue: "Dad, my little sister is not in Jiangxi now, she is in Fujian."

Pan Hong: "Then go to Fujian."

"Dad, I'm still in school."

Pan Yu: "You were even pushed out to study abroad. What kind of school are you attending? Dad, I'll take my brother away. You won't die if you stay here, right?"

"Puh, puh, puh, spit on me more and step on me," Pan Hong slapped Pan Yu's face and forced him to do it, then hit him twice: "Your father has always been lucky, without the two of you dragging us down, everything will go smoothly."

Pan Yu's eyes widened: "You've been framed and exiled, how can you say you're lucky?"

"This happened after I turned thirty-five. Before I turned thirty-five, my parents were very loving and I passed all the examinations, including the Tongsheng Examination, the County Examination, the Provincial Examination, and the later Imperial Examination and Palace Examination. Can you say that I had bad luck?"

Pan Yu choked.

Pan Hong counted on his fingers: "There are very few people in this world who have a smooth career like me. Du Fu, a talented man, failed the exam many times, and Han Yu took the exam four times before he passed. But I not only had a smooth career, but also got married and had children. Everything went smoothly. I have a son and a daughter!"

Pan Yu: …

Pan Hong sighed, "Except that your sister was sickly in her early years and I lost my wife in middle age, there is nothing wrong with me.

You were exiled at a young age. One of you failed the imperial examinations, and the other had difficulty even studying, let alone taking the imperial examinations. You have no careers, no families, and your luck is much worse than mine."

Now even Pan Yue was silent.

Pan Yu was angry: "Is this all our fault?"

Pan Hong tapped his forehead and said, "It's your bad luck to be born my son!"

Pan Yu was stunned.

Pan Yue said calmly: "Dad, if I don't become your son, I might be born into a peasant family. Not only will I not be able to learn to read and write, I might not even have enough food to eat, and my life will be spent in a muddle."

Pan Yu nodded quickly and said generously: "Forget it, even if I die early, I can be your son, a brother to my elder brother, and an elder brother to my younger sister. This life is worth it."

Pan Hong rolled up his sleeves. Pan Yu ran around the room, admitting his mistake: "I will never talk about death again, Dad, I am already grown up, why are you still spanking me——"

The next day, Pan Hong sent the two men out of the city.

Pan Yue and Pan Yu walked out one mile, their steps becoming slower and slower, until they finally stood still, looked back, and immediately hid in the woods nearby.

Pan Yue opened his bag and took out two sets of old clothes: "Change into them."

Pan Yu: "Are you really not going to tell Dad?"

"Dad definitely doesn't want us to get involved in such a big thing. Tell him, it's just a quarrel, and we were still driven away," Pan Yue took off his clothes and put them on, and asked Pan Yu: "How are you practicing the internal skills and sword manuals that my sister gave you?"

Pan Yu patted his chest confidently and said, "I dare not say I am proficient in it, but I have 70% to 80% of it."

"That means you have learned 50% of it. That's enough skill." Pan Yue changed his clothes and pulled him along. "Let's go find Captain Qin."

"What are you doing with him?"

"Of course we have to look for him for military matters," Pan Yue said, "Dad is not familiar with them, and he is an imperial censor. If he directly contacts them, he will be targeted. But it's different for us. We have already left the city and will go back to find him quietly, without anyone noticing."

Pan Yu was puzzled: "Brother, did Dad really not know that we would turn back?"

Pan Yue paused and pulled him to continue walking: "Whether he really doesn't know or is pretending not to know, since he has sent us out of the city, we should leave, and hurry up."

Pan Yu curled her lips and said, "You have all become stupid from studying. Why can't you speak openly about things that can be explained clearly? If you insist on guessing, I will guess too."

Pan Yue: "This is called telepathy."

"What if I don't understand?"

Pan Yue: "So you should read more."

Pan Yu: "...I miss my little sister. I feel that only my little sister can understand me at this moment."

A few days later, Pan Yun also squatted on the beach thinking about her father and brother.

She had just returned from the sea. In the past few days, she followed Chen Wen's boat to visit all the important islands in the nearby waters.

This is to prepare for future maritime trade.

All parties knew the truth and allowed Pan Yun to enter and exit the restricted sea area freely.

The main thing is that she has great abilities and they can't stop her.

This can also be called the follow-up to suppressing bandits.

Chen Wen took Pan Yun and overturned several pirate strongholds, all of which were islands that were missed during the pirate suppression campaign in June.

However, these people were basically ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, their scale was small, and the crimes they committed were still forgivable, mainly robbery.

So Pan Yun told them thoughtfully: "There is silver everywhere in Japan, you can go there and mine it."

Seeing that they were pale from hunger, Pan Yun looked disgusted and said, "Why are you still a pirate if you can't even get enough food?"

A pirate muttered quietly: "If you hadn't been suppressing the bandits and scared away the ship..."

Pan Jun raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Chen Wen: "I just remembered to ask, I haven't seen any ships on the sea recently, those smuggling ships, oh, no, I mean, those big shots' ships haven't shipped any goods?"

Chen Wen: "At this time, they would like to hide the ship, how can they ship goods?"

Pan Yun said to the pirates, "Don't wait any longer. The ministers in the court are fighting over the ship. Based on my intelligence, it will take at least half a year to get a result. Can you still starve for half a year?"

Pirates: "!!! You won't catch us?"

Pan Yun: "Are you going to betray your own folks and let the navy yamen kill your whole family?"

They shook their heads and took a half step back in horror.

Pan Yun waved his hand and said, "In that case, let's go to Japan. Instead of waiting to die on this small island, it's better to go to a big island to survive."

The pirates hesitated, some wanted to go, while others were unwilling to move.

Pan Yun sneered and said, "If you stay here, I will pass by every now and then. Not to mention that there are no ships on the sea for you to rob, even if there are, you won't be able to rob them!

I have several properties in Japan. You can go there on your own. If you are lucky, you can get a job. If not, farming and mining there are also good places to go."

Mining?

They don't want to mine, as it sounds like a scam.

Pan Yun's expression softened. "I am Pan Yun, and I am different from those black-hearted mine owners. If you go to Japan to mine, I will definitely pay you a lot of wages. If you farm the land, I will only take 40% of the rent!"

When the pirates heard this, their eyes lit up: "Master Pan also has land in Japan?"

Not now, but soon enough there will be.

Pan Jun nodded modestly: "Of course."

The pirates whispered to each other for a while, and then one of them stepped out and said, "Okay, we don't trust the imperial court, but we trust Taoist Pan. Since you said Japan is our way out, we will go to Japan."

Pan Yun nodded in satisfaction and handed them a sea chart: "This is a sea chart to Japan. It is marked on it. Whether you go to Nanao Port or Onsenzu Town, you can find us Han people." (End of this chapter)
