Chapter 443 Discussion on Volume C

Seeing Feng Ziying's gaze coming over, Ping'er shrank subconsciously.

She didn't want to come over originally, but she saw Long'er bringing Feng Ziying to Lin Daiyu's door. Feng Ziying entered the house, but Long'er stood guard at the door.

 This surprised her too.

Miss Lin and Feng Ziying are related. Many people in the house know this. After all, during the Linqing Civil War, Feng Ziying showed her power and saved several people. Miss Lin and the Jia family were able to become relatives. Everyone knows that he is related to Jia Yucun, who is now the prefect of Jinling Prefecture, and the second master of the Xue family who has passed away.

 So she wandered aside for a long time, and finally couldn't help but come over. Unexpectedly, Zicuckoo was also there.

She was already familiar with Zijuan and had always had a good relationship, so she didn't have so many scruples when speaking. Zijuan also understood her temperament and did not treat her as an outsider. After talking about Miss Lin's matter, she understood that Jia Lian might want to Send Lin Daiyu south to Yangzhou.

“Why, Ping’er, such a coincidence?” Feng Ziying looked at Ping’er with a half-smile but not a smile. There was more or less a friendship of “sharing the same bed”. This girl was quite nice.

"Uncle Feng, this slave is just passing by and happens to meet Zicuckoo. Say a few words, um, Uncle Feng comes to see Miss Lin?" Ping'er was slightly surprised to see that Feng Ziying didn't seem to care.

It is said that it is inappropriate for him as an outsider to come to Lin Daiyu's place so clearly. Lin Daiyu is not young anymore, she is thirteen years old. In this era and at this age, people have to talk about marriage. For men outside, It is no longer appropriate to meet alone, otherwise it will easily affect your reputation.

"Well, I heard that Uncle Lin is seriously ill and wants Sister Lin to go back to Yangzhou. I told Brother Lian earlier that Brother Lian might have to send Sister Lin south to Yangzhou. I happen to have a business trip to Jiangnan, so I just want to talk to Lian. Second brother together." Feng Ziying said calmly.

"Ah?!" Ping'er was surprised. What a coincidence. Could it be that Uncle Feng is interested in Miss Lin? How could such a coincidence happen, but the other party said it was business, so it seems like he can't lie, right?

"I'm going to meet Uncle Zheng Shi, Uncle Shi Shi, and my ancestors with Brother Lian later. If you don't want Ping'er to take me there, it's almost time." Feng Ziying took two steps closer and said, But it scared Ping'er so much that he took a step back.

"Why are you so afraid of me? I'm not a tiger." Feng Ziying teased the other person.

"Uh, isn't Long'er here? Let him take Uncle Feng there. I still have something to do." Ping'er was so flustered by Feng Ziying's burning gaze that he hurriedly left, which made Zijuan quite upset. I'm curious, since when did Ping'er become so afraid of Uncle Feng?

"Huh, Long'er, let's go. Let's go to the Rongxi Hall first. I guess Uncle Shishi and Uncle Zhengshi should be waiting for me there. Zijuan, take care of Sister Lin here and don't make her too sad and worried. "Feng Ziying looked at Ping'er's fleeing back and smiled slightly.

I met Jia She, Jia Zheng and Jia Lian in Rongxi Hall. I felt that Jia She had a very good attitude. He must have squeezed a lot of money from the Ma family, so he was in a good mood. However, this guy did not show any signs of Lin Ruhai being seriously ill. Somewhat worried, it feels more like a little indifferent.

However, Jia Zheng still had some friendship with his brother-in-law. After a few more words, it was basically decided that Jia Lian would **** Lin Daiyu south.

"My dear nephew, the old lady is a little worried, but she is not feeling well these days, so she doesn't dare to say too much. Lian'er said that you also have to go south for business, but the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs are concerned about the opening of the sea. ?”

Although Jia Zheng only went to the Ministry of Industry every day to make money, he was still very concerned about major affairs in the DPRK, unlike Jia She who only focused on money.

The borrowing strategy to open the sea has a lot to do with Feng Ziying. Jia Zheng was also very emotional. Thinking that the important matter that the old ministers were discussing was actually proposed by the Feng family in front of him, this indescribable feeling has always been Jia Zheng felt complicated.

"Yes." Feng Ziying replied calmly: "There is a big dispute between the Cabinet and the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry on the location of the pilot project, so there may be some on-the-spot investigations to understand. Because my nephew knows more about this situation, the Cabinet has to work with The Hanlin Academy said hello, and it is expected that my nephew will go south with the people from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It just so happened that Brother Lian was about to send Sister Lin south, so he caught up."

Generally speaking, the journey south requires stability and ease. It is best to take the waterway and go south along the canal. It is already early winter, and the wind and water are smooth and the speed is not slow.

"Then the nephew's trip south is of great importance." Jia Zheng nodded repeatedly, "The cabinet also attaches great importance to this matter. If the nephew can make further achievements in this matter, the court will definitely reward him when he comes back."

“My nephew didn’t think much about it. He just wanted to successfully complete the court’s tasks.” Feng Ziying could only agree.

"Cun Zhou, in that case, let Da Lang go see the old lady, so that the old lady can rest assured." Jia She interjected: "This trip of thousands of miles involves many matters, and Lian'er has no problem doing things. I'm afraid that it will involve some government disputes, and I will ask Da Lang to take more care of Lian'er."

Jia She's attitude was as if Lin Ruhai was already dead, which made Jia Zheng a little embarrassed, but he could basically feel it from Lin Ruhai's letter, so Jia Zheng didn't say anything and just nodded.

 After chatting a few words with Jia Mu, Feng Ziying said goodbye and went home.

Jia Lian chatted with Feng Ziying for a while, and the two basically agreed to set off south within three days.

Here Feng Ziying also went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Works to contact each other. The cabinet has basically agreed that Cui Jingrong, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Wu Liangsi, the head of the Jinke Department of the Guizhou Qing Li Division, Wei Guangwei, a doctor in the Dushui Department of the Ministry of Works, and Du There were four Sun Juxiang, the censor of Nanzhi Road in the Chaoyuan, and five Feng Ziying, and there were also several minor officials, totaling seven or eight people.

A lot of thought was spent on choosing people to go south this time. Cui Jingrong is from Henan, Wei Guangwei is from Damingfu, Beizhi, Sun Juxiang is from Shanxi, Wu Liangsi is from Huguang, and Feng Ziying is from Shuntianfu, Beizhi. Her ancestral home is Shandong. Except for Wu Liangsi, they are all from the north and have nothing to do with Nanzhi, Fujian and Zhejiang, so they can barely settle the matter, so as to avoid any gossip after returning from this inspection.

Of course, this can only be said to be a superficial phenomenon. If you really want to win over, the methods of those merchants from Fujian and Zhejiang can make you want to stop no matter where you are from. It all depends on the final balance of interests of all parties. .

"Feng Keng has met Master Cui, Master Wu, and Master Wei." Cui Jingrong, Wu Liangsi, Sun Juxiang and Wei Guangwei are all familiar with each other. Only Feng Ziying can be regarded as a newcomer, but this newcomer is so famous that even Cui Jingrong All should be treated with some courtesy.

"Well, it turns out that a hero is born from a young boy, and he is extraordinary." Cui Jingrong smiled and nodded, motioning for Feng Ziying to take a seat, "Then I'd better call you Ziying. You probably don't know these two, so get familiar with them. Xianbo is from your hometown, well, Mingzhong and your teacher Guandongxian are from the hometown, and Bofu is from Shanxi. In the next few months, we will be in the same boat and share weal and woe. Dear elders and workers from the Ministry of Hubu and the Ministry of War The ministry is still waiting for the results of our investigation, so I plan to set off the next day, what do you think?"

Cui Jingrong is impatient and gets straight to the point when he comes up.

This business trip was led by him, with Wei Guangwei as the deputy. He made his attitude clear, so naturally no one would object.

Seeing everyone nodding, Cui Jingrong was also very happy, "Well, in that case, the matter has been settled. I will arrange for someone to contact the official ship and set off in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. Please pack up and prepare as soon as possible in these two days. Don’t delay your schedule, and you guys should get to know each other.”

 The purpose of getting acquainted was mainly to let Feng Ziying and a few others get to know each other. Feng Ziying was not polite and talked to each other one by one, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

 Wei Guangwei's father is Wei Yunzhen, the former right minister of the Ministry of War, but he died two years ago due to illness. Wei Guangwei is also at home with Ding You and has just resumed work.

"Mr. Cui, I am afraid that this trip south will involve a lot of things. I am afraid that the officials in each department will need to bring a few more people to avoid being in a hurry after going south. In the opinion of the lower officials, these three or four officials are not enough. It is not as good as the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Finance. Each Ministry of Industry will lead three people. I wonder if there are suitable candidates among these Guanzheng Jinshi. They can also be recruited to go south together. If Ziying has suitable candidates, she can also recommend them to Master Cui."

Wei Guangwei is not a simple person. Although he has just resumed work, he is focused on doing things well as a good start after Ding You.

Cui Jingrong didn't care much about bringing in two more officials. Two more and two less didn't matter much, but Wei Guangwei suggested that it would be a good idea to consider recruiting Guanzheng Jinshi to help. Feng Ziying was recruited by Chai Ke to go to Western Xinjiang. He became famous only after countering the rebellion, but it did help Chai Ke a lot.

Seeing that Cui Jingrong was a little moved, Wei Guangwei struck while the iron was hot, "Ziying, didn't you also say that there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the Jinshi in your department? Mr. Cui is in urgent need of people here, and he does not avoid relatives when recruiting talents. If you recommend one or two people, I believe Mr. Cui will definitely choose them. Use it wisely."

Seeing what Wei Guangwei said, Cui Jingrong nodded without thinking about anything else, "Ziying, what Uncle Xian said is reasonable. If there is a suitable candidate, you can propose it and I will report it to the elders. This must be a good thing. They I won’t object.”

"Mr. Cui, there are many scholars in our subject, and Xiaguan only knows a few of them. However, when Xiaguan was responsible for compiling "Internal Reference", he also dealt with some people. Well, otherwise, Xianguan afternoon Then I went to inquire and try to give Mr. Cui a reply tomorrow morning."

Feng Ziying didn't know what Wei Guangwei was thinking, but this was definitely a good thing for herself. If she could recommend one or two people to join the team that went south to investigate, it would be a great exercise for the participants. It's good, and maybe it will be of great benefit to them when they get rid of their official positions after taking over the government.
