Chapter 509

The Ming Dynasty has a vast territory. Although it belongs to the same solar term from west to east, it seems to go through three seasons along the way.

Once we got off the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, the climate started to warm up, but the further we went north, the weather became colder every day.

In order not to delay the trip, Ye Xun asked Xiao Luo and Yun Niang to take Xiao Rushi first when they first went down to the plateau.

The end of the new year is approaching, if one word is used to describe Ye Xun's mind, it would be like an arrow to return to his heart.

But despite Ye Xun's superb internal skills, there must be time to rest, right?
When Xiaoluo and his party arrived in Kaifeng, Ye Xun finally caught up from behind and ordered a day off. At this speed, they could reach the capital in two days, so there was no need to rush so desperately.

As Ye Xun stopped in his tracks, various reports came in.

The first thing Ye Xun brought over was He Guangxian's memorial. Due to the issue of religious belief, it can be said that the governance of the snow area is far more difficult than that of Shuzhong, so although Ye Xun left, he was always thinking about it.

Because the distance is too far, reports about the snowy area can only be sent once every three days. Eagle letters can be sent every day, but the content carried by eagle letters is too little after all.

It can be said that the previous bloody massacre of Danjiong Wangpo and others served as a warning, especially once the announcement of the abolition of serfdom was posted, although there were some nobles and monasteries who resisted, at first Ngawang Luosang cooperated Second, the previous killings did scare some restless people.

And most importantly, as the news spread more and more widely, more and more slaves have come to He Guangxian on their own and asked for the protection of the army.

For He Guangxian, this situation was what he wished for. He immediately sent troops to protect these serfs who took the initiative to stand up, and at the same time sent troops to suppress those nobles who were still stubborn.

Based on these information, Ye Xun's heart gradually relaxed. It must be said that he chose the right person. If Cao Bianjiao were to do this, there would probably be a big mess, because this kid is easier to kill.

Putting down the report on the snow area, the second report is from Jiangnan. Cheng Yu has always been Ye Xun's most trusted person, and this trust began in Liaodong.

The south of the Yangtze River has always been a place of heavy taxation by the imperial court. Whether it is industry, commerce or agriculture, it is very developed. Especially after the sea ban was lifted, the development of commerce has been rapid. In half a year, even the silver taels needed for the construction of the navy have been paid to the imperial court. More than one million taels of silver, and this is just the beginning.

You must know that when Ye Xun was just rising in Liaodong, the total income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury was only 500 million taels a year. Now Jiangnan only has sea trade, and it takes half a year to complete the income of the previous half a year. This is not counting Liaodong Bay. income.

It can be said that the overall development situation in Jiangnan is very good. In addition, the first treasure ship of Longjiang Treasure Shipyard has been assembled, and the first sea trial will be held after the Spring Festival. I hope Ye Xun can participate in it in person.

Okay, now it’s time to talk about the problem. Some landlords and gentry in the south of the Yangtze River are obsessed with the imperial court’s new land policy. These people colluded with the local government and first pretended to divide the land among the people. In order to appease the people, the land rent of the people was also appropriately reduced.

After Cheng Yu learned of the situation, he actually dealt with some officials who violated discipline. However, the officialdom in Jiangnan is too large.

After reading this report, Ye Xun's brows were furrowed again. The biggest problem in Jiangnan was the Xu family. Xu's father and son repeatedly found someone to plot against him. Tolerating them, they obeyed themselves on the surface, but secretly intensified, and even started to obstruct the New Deal. It seems that it is time to teach them a lesson.

There are many memorials, including those in Liaodong, grasslands, Korea and Japan, but none of them are important.

After a rough inspection, Ye Xun couldn't help being stunned when he saw the report of King Xin being kidnapped.

Strictly speaking, compared with other information, Zhu Youjian's disappearance is really not a big deal. After all, at his age, he doesn't have the strength to stir up trouble, but why is such a seemingly useless person missing?

Ye Xun still agrees with Hu Jiucheng's handling method, because no matter who kidnaps Zhu Youjian, he must think he is useful, and if the court has announced that this person is dead, then no matter who kidnaps Zhu Youjian in the future When it was carried out by the prosecutor, the imperial court could deny that the other party was a counterfeit.

The skill of the Japanese samurai did not say a word during the period, and he was able to disappear without a trace in the capital of the Ming Dynasty afterwards. From these points, it is enough to explain the problem.

Obviously, there has always been a hidden force against Ye Xun in the capital.

The army is cleaned up, and the princes and relatives are almost cleaned up. Even if the ministers don't like Ye Xun, they don't have the ability to fight against Ye Xun. Who would it be?
Shaking his head with a wry smile, it's hard to be a good person, but is it easy to be a bad person?If everyone who has offended me remembers it, I won't be exhausted to death!
Before he knew it, the sky darkened again. In fact, the reason why Ye Xun chose to rest in Kaifeng was mainly to let his subordinates rest. Although he was a little tired, he didn't have to stop.

Everywhere in the Ming Dynasty, there is a post station specially prepared for court officials. If there are not so many guards around, Ye Xun will definitely go to the inn. There are too many officials coming and going at the post station, and it is inevitable that some people who want to take the opportunity to get close officials.

Resting in this station, Ye Xun did not report his name, but asked Kuoermu to register and negotiate.

Although Yi Cheng of the post station didn't see Ye Xun, the brand of Xichang was enough to scare him half to death, especially seeing that the leader of Kuermu was respectful to several men and women, and he didn't dare to neglect, and the food and drink were served very well.

After dealing with official business, Ye Xun stretched his waist, Ye Xun also planned to rest early, and had to hurry tomorrow.

At this moment, I suddenly heard a noise coming from outside, and then someone shouted "Killer!"

The inn was very large, and Ye Xun and his party lived in the west courtyard, and there were many courtyards to the east and behind. The sound should be coming from the east.

Ye Xun couldn't help but frowned, everyone knew that the inn was opened by the government, and if there was a murder case here, could it be for him?
Thinking about it, it seemed impossible. I was in a hurry, and except for a few confidants, it was impossible for others to know his whereabouts.

Thinking of this, he pushed open the door and said to the guard outside: "Go and see what's going on!"

The guard promised to leave quickly.

The guard was very quick to do things, and he turned back in a short time, but his face was a little dignified.

"Father-in-law, the East Courtyard is where three officials and masters from the Liaodong Armory were transferred to Jiangnan. For some reason, they were all killed in the room."

This guard has also been with Ye Xun since Liaodong, and of course he knows what the killing of the Liaodong arsenal official master means.
