The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 236 A Genius Has Fallen
The next day, Jiao/Li came back.The newly purchased saltpeter and other materials were put into storage without even opening the package, and were shipped to Bukui shortly after preparation.

On the third day, intelligence officer Wei Ruolan set off with his assistant Jia Qin, Dai Zhi, and Liu Cheng.Together they boarded a ship from Tianjinwei and traveled by water to Bukui.

Dai Zhi and Liu Cheng will transfer to Koryo at Juehua Island, inspect the gunpowder and other raw material markets there, and try to establish a trade route from Hoeryong to Bukui.

When the weather gets warmer next spring and the rivers are navigable, formal procurement activities will begin.

Wei Ruolan and Jia Qin continued on their way, landed at Niuzhuang in southern Liaoning, surveyed the marching route along the way, and made a stand for the board and lodging of the large army.

Jiao Li stayed and prepared with Liu Tieshan and others for the relocation of the firearms workshop.At the same time, the production of sleeping bags and tents began to be organized.

The styles of sleeping bags and tents were all provided by Jia Min, and samples were produced when Dai Zhi was still around.It can now be produced on a large scale.

These things are currently spent on Jia Min's own money, and the military expenses given by the Ministry of War are actually only enough for the daily use of the army.If you want some new equipment, you have to pay for it yourself.

Feng Ziying started contacting Jiang Shilang, while Chen Yejun was in charge of the daily training of the government corps.

In addition to continuing to organize technical training, Fang Xiucai also undertook two other tasks.

One is to recruit some farmers and prepare to go to Bukui after the Chinese New Year.

The conditions are of course very favorable.In the first three years, the land, agricultural tools and seeds are provided free of charge, as long as [-]% of the harvest is handed over, and the rest is all their own.If you want, you can also open up wasteland yourself.As long as you pay a certain deed tax, the land will belong to you.

Of course, these farmers have to go to Bukui to enjoy these preferential treatment.

Although people had no idea about going to Bukui, the offer of money alone attracted many people to inquire about the news.

Fang Xiucai's second job was to recruit craftsmen.

Some of these craftsmen were directly trained by themselves.Those who come to Bukui will be exempted from tuition fees, and the condition is that they will serve in Bukui for two years.

Of course, these two years were not for nothing.There are two ways of remuneration, one is the official craftsman, who takes one tael of silver per month.The other is private craftsmen, that is, self-employed.After arriving in Bukui, he can start his own business and be responsible for his own profits and losses.However, it is necessary to stay in Bukui for at least two years.

Bu Kui's current social status is basically still in the fishing and hunting era.The purpose of recruiting these farmers and craftsmen is to bring advanced agricultural technology and handicraft technology.

With the development of agriculture and handicrafts, commerce naturally developed.The current business form of Bukui is basically just the collection of rare mountain medicinal materials and the circulation of fishing and hunting products.Only with the development of agriculture and handicrafts can more mature businesses emerge and the economy be upgraded.

Without a relatively stable and strong economic foundation, it is very difficult to really gain a foothold in Bukui.

After Jia Min arranged the military training tasks, he handed them over to Chen Yejun.

He himself wandered among the yamen of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households.Others think that he seems to be doing nothing, but only he knows how important what he does is.

What he paid attention to was mainly all the materials about Ningguta and Bukui in various ministries.Including various reports over the years, correspondence documents, etc.

Then someone discovered that Jia Min was outside the city, so he found a few people, and then invited them to have a drink.

Jia Min didn't know these people before, but Ning Guta and Bu Kui knew them.If you know the details of these people, you will find that some of these people have stayed in Ningguta, and some have stayed in Bukui or near Bukui.

Some of the documents and materials of the various ministries of the imperial court are very unreliable, falsified, exaggerated, avoided the important and ignored the minor, and deceived the superior and the inferior, such phenomena often occurred.

Therefore, it is necessary to find some people who have stayed there to understand the situation, so as not to listen to and believe in one side.

Jia Min's work in various yamen was smooth.

In addition to his fact that he has important military affairs, labels such as poetry genius, business genius, martial arts proficiency, Rongguo mansion son, and commander of the army regiment also played a big role.

There is also the most important point, which is ignored by many people.Sometimes, perhaps this is the main factor that people are willing to cooperate with him.

That's the sympathy people feel for him.

This is sympathy for a dying genius.

It is this 15-year-old boy who will lead his army regiment on the road of no return to Bukui.

This is sympathy for a dying man: a genius has fallen.

The dispatch of Jia Min's army regiment to Bukui put a lot of pressure on Li Yuan, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

This pressure does not come from Jia Min.

Since the last time we had a drink together, Jia Min never came to Li Yuan again.Even if you go to the Ministry of War to search for some information, you will leave after you have found it.

The pressure mainly comes from official discussions.

Some said that he followed certain forces to suppress Jia Min.Some said that he ordered troops indiscriminately.

This kind of pressure reached its peak when the imperial censor impeached Li Yuan.

The censor said that Li Yuan sent Jia Min's recruits to Bukui, which was suspected of negligence.Letting a group of inexperienced recruits and a 15-year-old boy lead the troops to Pu Que is simply to send them to die.

Until the censor's excerpt was suppressed by the emperor.This matter is gone.

After Shen Bingyi left, Gu Panpan moved up the ranks and became the number one in the Fengyue District of Dajinmen.

After the ordinary dignitaries arrived here, they were also proud that Gu Panpan could come forward to accompany them.This kind of support is two-way, and Gu Panpan is also proud that dignitaries can come to support her.

Today's banquet in Yuhua Building is a typical scene of healthy interaction between the two parties.

The table that Gu Panpan accompanied was the most honorable.

Deputy Jiedushi Ma Qiming of the Beijing Camp, Niu Shilang of the Ministry of War, Liu Rui of the Ministry of Officials, Chen Jiayin of Changping Prefecture, and Luo Hanlin of the Imperial Academy were all present.

Gu Panpan originally thought that these people would be today's guest of honor, but unexpectedly, the person who came in last sat on the guest table.

It wasn't until after the introduction that the guest of honor turned out to be the second-ranked military master, Luo Qihua.He is the uncle Luo Hanlin often talks about.

The food and drink were ready, the staff sat down, and Ma Qiming stood up holding his wine glass.

"Lord Luo is honored to come, and we are flattered. I will offer a cup to Lord Luo, and I will do it first."

As Ma Qiming said, he drank it all in one gulp.

Luo Qihua smiled, raised his glass as well, and drank it.

"Come on, let's be more casual, we are all a family, don't be restrained."

Luo Qihua is a very casual person with a smile all over his face. Although he is in a high position, he doesn't show any airs.

Seeing Luo Qihua's kindness and enthusiasm, everyone relaxed.

"This matter is all thanks to Master Luo's help, and I would like to express my deep gratitude."

Ma Qiming said respectfully.

"Ma Jiedu is being polite. The old man is only doing things for the emperor. Then Jia Min is deeply favored by the emperor. He is proud of his youth and has a great reputation. When the court employs people, he should also serve the court."

"Yes, yes, Master Luo is still far-sighted."

"Ask Jia Min to go to Bukui to give him a chance to practice. Such an opportunity is rare. If he is really talented, he will shine brightly here, and the future will be bright."

"It's Mr. Luo who loves talents and is willing to support younger generations."

"We are all old, and the future will be dominated by young people. At this time, it is time for young people to go out and take on great responsibilities. I am just pushing the boat along with the flow."

Hearing these words, Gu Panpan was terrified.

Recently I heard that Jia Min was sent to Ninggu Pagoda. It turned out that these people were behind the scenes.

It is said that the Ancient Pagoda of Naning was a place of exile, and Bukui was even in the bitter cold of the extreme north. After going there, few people could come back.If Jia Min went there, wouldn't this life be over?

Next, everyone began to chat about some official anecdotes.Although Gu Panpan was socializing on this occasion, some words were still confused.

Thinking that Jia Min was dispatched to Bu Kui, which is extremely cold in the extreme north, it was obvious that they were playing tricks behind his back to plot against Jia Min, but when they said that, it seemed that they were helping Jia Min plan his future.

It is said that these big men are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, and they are full of male robbers and female prostitutes. It can be seen that what they say is true.

The sisters sell their bodies to earn some money, relying on their own bodies, which are much cleaner than these gentlemen.

At this moment, Niu Jizong, Liu Fang, Chen Ruiwen, Ma Shangde, and a few children from aristocratic families from two other countries were sitting at the next table.

The discussion was also about Jia Min.The obvious difference from before is that the atmosphere this time is obviously not much more relaxed and enthusiastic.

"This time, I finally got all the bird spirit out of my heart, so happy."

Marchangde didn't need others to persuade him, he even drank several cups by himself.

"It's called good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil. It's not that the time has not yet come, but now it's time? When Jia Lao Si comes back in the future, I really want to see what he will look like?"

Chen Ruiwen held a wine glass in his hand, shaking the wine in the glass back and forth.

"I'm afraid this will disappoint Brother Chen. Once he goes, it will be even more difficult for him to come back. I, Liu Fang, said today that I will leave here, and Jia Min will go here. Even if he doesn't die there, he will die in this lifetime." Don't even think about coming back."

"Why is Brother Liu so sure? After all, Jia Min still has some skills."

Niu Jizong felt that Liu Fang was a little too confident.

"I also admit that Jia Min has a bit of ability, but it depends on who his opponent is. This time, Grand Master Luo just moved his mouth and exiled him to Ninggu Pagoda. Then Li Yuan was originally Master Luo's father's disciple. , How could he not listen? If the emperor had not personally summoned him, he would have died of old age in Ning Guta for the rest of his life."

"It's just that I didn't expect Li Yuan to be more aggressive and send Jia Min to Bu Kui, a place of no return. This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to survive."

"Come, come. Let's have a drink with such a joyful thing."

After Niu Jizong finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down.

Hmph, Jia Min, I didn't expect you to have today!
