Chapter 320: Volume C State Affairs and Family Affair

  Chapter 320 Volume C State Affairs and Family Affairs

   "Master, it's time to rest." When Xiangling brought up a cup of red date and lotus seed soup, Feng Ziying realized that it was midnight.

  Fang Youdu's literary talents are good, but he still lacks some experience, but he has written too much on the plot of the case, making him a bit top-heavy.

  This is not a storybook novel, but a political article.

   It is estimated that Uncle Fang would have to vomit three liters of blood when he sees such a drastic deletion of his painstaking work, but there is no way, if it is not for the fact that the first issue needs some explosive points to stimulate the desire to read, he would not even want to use articles such as criminal cases.

  The number of words must be compressed. The key is to clarify the meaning of the statement, that is, the problems exposed in the case and the suggestions given, and the goal will be achieved.

  "Internal Reference" is still only in Feng Ziying's heart. There is still a long way to go to form a political newspaper periodical that can last for a long time.

  Xu Xie's article is still in the making, and it's obvious that they attach great importance to it.

   I don't know if there was some misunderstanding. This kind of emphasis exceeded Feng Ziying's expectations, but Feng Ziying didn't care.

   All in all, this emphasis on the future will be rewarded. They think they represent Qi Yongtai and Qiao Yingjia, but they will soon realize that although Qi Shi and Qiao Shi are their strong backing, so are themselves.

  This kind of feeling will make them gradually form a habit, and then they will truly realize their own weight. This will have a process, but it is an irreversible process.

In addition to Xu Xie and Fang Youdu's articles, Feng Ziying also assigned Zheng Chongjian the task of making a comprehensive assessment of the military affairs of the three sides, asking him to collect the military generals, military salaries, food, and armaments of the three sides and four towns since the first year of Yonglong. Supplementary, prominent issues of military affairs within the four towns, internal changes of the Tatars in the Hetao area, etc. will be an article.

This article baffles Zheng Chongjian, because the information is messy and there are all kinds of information. The Ministry of Military Affairs Division is the summary. Of course, some information from the Long Jinwei and the Shaanxi Division of the Ministry of Punishment can be obtained, but this is too complicated. Now, how to evaluate the description is simply at a loss.

   Zheng Chongjian said that this article could not be written, but when Feng Ziying gave him a clear theme, everything became extremely simple.

  It is indeed very simple. It is simple to give a proposition, and then collect evidence that meets the proposition from these massive intelligence around this proposition.

   It is really not enough, you can also collect some from Long Jinwei and the Shaanxi Division of the Criminal Ministry, or even write directly to the Shaanxi Capital Division and the Xingdu Division to understand the situation in a targeted manner.

   This is almost cheating, but only if you are sure that something is going to happen, otherwise the disaster will be not small.

  However, the news from her father was enough for Feng Ziying to confirm that Ningxia Town is now in a state that is almost out of control.

  Shi Guangjue was crazily making money, even to the point of being desperate. I don't know if he ever thought that even if he could get back the one hundred thousand taels of silver he paid, he would still have his life to enjoy it.

As my father said, Ningxia Town is like a paper lantern. It still looks very bright on the outside, but it only needs to be poked lightly, and there will be a hole. If you poke a few more times, it may be full of holes and leaks .

  The problem is that Ningxia Town is facing the strong wind of the Tatars in the north. Once this wind blows in, it will extinguish the flames.

  Feng Ziying is almost waiting for all this to happen in a state of anxiety and anticipation.

He had also thought about whether he could give an early warning before, but it was only about military affairs, nothing else. If he suggested it rashly, it might be difficult to achieve his goal, and it would put himself in a disadvantageous position. He is not an egoist, but he is not willing to take risks. Expose something at your own peril.

  So such an article may eventually become a god-like suggestion, which will help myself and Zheng Chongjian benefit a lot, but I am afraid it may not be able to play much of an early warning role now.

   Fingers pressed gently on Feng Ziying's temples, um, a little nervous and unfamiliar, naturally it was Xiangling and not Yunshang.

  Xiang Ling integrated into Feng's residence very smoothly. The big and small Duan family all liked Xiangling's appearance and character. Feng Ziying even knew that even Yun Shang was a little jealous.

You can "win the favor" in just ten or twenty days. Of course, this "favor" is fortunately belonged to your mother and not yourself. Yunshang can still accept it, but it is enough to show how popular Xiangling, who is gentle and honest, is. .

  The unique fragrance of the virgin body lingered in Feng Ziying's breath, and Feng Ziying, who was leaning on the back of the chair, couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, and her Adam's apple rolled.

  He is already fifteen years old. According to the calculation of men in this era, he is already sixteen years old, but of course he is not sixteen years old.

Xiangling is one year older than him, she is a real girl who has turned sixteen years old, only a little more than one year older than Yunshang, but she is more attractive than Yunshang just from her figure curve. few.

  Well, it should be said that during the years when Xiangling was abducted by human traffickers, she did not treat her badly and developed well.

   "Xiangling, are you used to living in our house?" Feng Ziying was too busy during this time, and basically didn't care about things in the house, so she didn't ask much about Xiangling's life.

  Going out early and returning late for a month in a row, connecting these students in various ministries and temples is equivalent to a kind of early contact relationship, but at the same time it is also an appointment-based draft, and I also need to communicate with my colleagues in the Imperial Academy.

  Of course, he didn't say it clearly, but just let the other party know more about collecting some relevant information, saying that the Hanlin Academy may be used as a "confidential consultant" in the future.

   "Well, thank you for your concern. The servant is very good. Elder sister Yunshang treats the servant very well, and the wife and concubine also take good care of the servant." Xiangling told the truth, "The servant only wants to go on like this for the rest of his life."

Although Baochai treated her very well at Xue's house, Xue's family was always in an unstable state. Uncle Xue and his burdens, and his family lived in Jia's house. As well as the possible marriage that the girl may face, all of this is full of uncertain variables.

   And for so many years of wandering since childhood, Xiangling can bear everything else, but longs for a stable life.

  Her only hobby is reading. If she can read, write or even write poems in her spare time, that would be her greatest wish.

   And now it seems that all of this is faintly beckoning to her here.

Life here in Feng's mansion is very good, and she and Yunshang also get along well, and the work is not too much. Not as absurd and reckless as Uncle Xue, this gentleman is simply like a most standard literati.

I just heard that this master doesn't like poetry and Fu, which makes Xiangling a little regretful, but according to Yunshang, this master can actually write poems and fu, but he feels that writing poems and fu is a waste of time, and his purpose is to stabilize the country Big deal.

  Thinking about it, the master always goes in and out of the Hanlin Academy, that is where the number one scholars from heaven and earth are located. When they are in their position, how can they have much thought to recite poems and compose Fu?

   "Hehe, isn't that how a lifetime goes by?" Feng Ziying laughed, "And it will get better and better. Are you still worried that something will happen?"

Xiangling said quietly: "Master, I don't know. I have enjoyed some blessings in the past ten years, that is, I have been with Miss Bao for two years. The days ahead are precarious, and I don't know when there will be some bad luck. However, Miss Bao always wants to leave the court. No one knows who she will marry or what the husband will be like. Like slaves and Yinger, they are also like duckweed..."

   It's no wonder that this girl is a bookworm, and her speech is also polite, but it is quite in line with Feng Ziying's appetite.

  Hearing Xiangling talk about his past, Feng Ziying couldn't help asking: "Then do you still remember your old things?"

   "It's been more than ten years, most of them can't remember, I only remember that there was a mother, but..." Xiangling's eyes turned red again, "And I don't know the exact place where the slaves were kidnapped,..."

   "It's not in a hurry. Although more than ten years have passed since the clues, if you search carefully, you may not be able to find some clues."

Feng Ziying's words are not false, just knowing a general idea, I'm afraid it will be hard to find in such a year, and in the south, it takes several months to send a letter, and it is not so easy to use the power of the government , I am a little bit light as a concubine, but asking others for help seems to be a bit of a fuss.

  But there is this clue after all, plus some imprints in the book, it is not difficult to find it.

"Really? Master, can you really find the servant's family?" Xiangling was so surprised that her voice trembled, and she couldn't help kneeling in front of Feng Ziying, "If the master can find the family for the servant, the servant will be happy for the rest of his life." It’s hard to pay for it even if it’s smashed to pieces.”

"How can you report back to the master? You just serve the master well." Feng Ziying saw the girl kowtow when she knelt down, and quickly supported her. She was willing to ask for a piece of Wuqing, but she was still reluctant.

"I'm not fooling you. You should be able to find it, but it may take some thought and effort. After all, in the south, I don't have so many connections yet, so I have to trust someone. In addition, you have been there for more than ten years. I don’t know how many times the officials in those places have changed, so I have to take it slowly.”

  Feng Ziying only guesses that there is no problem, but in reality no one dares to guarantee it, so I have to say it first, don't let the other party place too high hopes, and it hurts people's hearts if they don't have a good result in the end.
