Chapter 33 Mountain Bandits Robbery Ships
It is true that some people have a strange intention, but it is unknown whether they rebel or not. Lingnan is far away and it is difficult to attack the imperial city, but it is still a good place to keep some private soldiers in captivity. It is a bit more disturbing and not easy to detect.
The atmosphere of the court discussion today is extremely tense. I don’t know where the news about Lingnan Iron Mine was spread, but who dares to make a joke about such a big thing? This time, the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works will suffer again. It is also a strange thing to say that the Ministry of Revenue has been one after another recently. This time, another Ministry of Works is in charge of weapons manufacturing and military water conservancy. If there is a mine in Lingnan and has not been reported, people will still mine it. This is another investigation, and I don’t know how many people will be involved.
"The Ministry of Works will go and investigate quickly, King Rong, you will go with the people from the Ministry of War." Emperor Yongyuan sat on the dragon throne and stroked his forehead. If so, who was so bold, and his eyes were silently scanning everyone in the court. Recently, it made him feel a little difficult, and some things were slowly leaving his control, which made him feel vaguely uneasy when he was used to controlling everything.
Jing Feng received the order with a tough bullet and found out that the Ministry of Works could not escape the blame this time. Where did the news come from? Qin Yueyuan understood that his father just wanted him and the Ministry of War to supervise each other.
"Father, this matter is of great importance, and the source of information may not be reliable. Is it groundless? You will know when you check it. However, the terrain of Lingnan is large and there are many mountains and canyons. If you check it, there will be someone who knows the local situation and is more appropriate to help." Qin Yuexi took two steps and put forward his opinion.
After hearing this, Emperor Yongyuan lowered his head and thought about it carefully, "The prince's concerns are not unreasonable. Lingnan... Lou Aiqing, please go with them. You are from Lingnan and are naturally familiar with the local area. That is your hometown, so you go as an imperial envoy, act cheaply, and it is also considered a return home in glory." Emperor Yongyuan felt that the people in his hand could not hold it anymore. It was time to pick some new people who were easy to use. Recently, someone also investigated Lou Jiuge and did not have any involvement with anyone in the court. That would be better.
Everyone knows this is a signal, and this young man will probably have risen to the top in the future.
Lou Jiuge walked from a corner to the center, knelt down and received the order to thank him, but he was still neither humble nor arrogant. The more Emperor Yongyuan looked at it, the more satisfied he was.
"Report! Jiangkou urgently reported."
"What's the matter? I'm so panicked." Emperor Yongyuan came in and was angry, and the messenger who reported below swallowed his saliva.
"Report to Your Majesty, the official Yan of the three-ship boat in Jiangkou was robbed."
There was really a wave of failure, and another wave was rising again. Emperor Yongyuan felt his blood rushing all over his body, and the officials were also secretly shocked. It was a turbulent time.
"The ships transporting official salt have guards. Who dares to rob? Let me explain it clearly." Isn't this a joke? Isn't it robbed? Isn't it robbed? Who dares to rob, who can rob again?
The messenger immediately presented the briefing bamboo tube sent back to Jiangkou. He didn't say it clearly, and His Majesty was afraid that he would be confused.
Without waiting for the reaction of other palace ladies, General Manager Yang immediately stepped forward and returned to the dragon throne to hand it over to Emperor Yongyuan for preview. Emperor Yongyuan took out the sealed bamboo tube, took out the roll of paper and turned it away, and said angrily: "These bandits are bullying me Dayuan."
"Your Majesty? What happened?" Old Master Luo was also shocked when he saw Emperor Yongyuan like this.
General Manager Yang looked at Emperor Yongyuan's eyes and immediately took the paper roll, walked down the imperial stairs and handed it to Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo unfolded it with a serious expression. The briefing content was roughly described. When the three-row salt ship passed through the Jiangkou Gorge, he was robbed by bandits in Mushan. He asked the Yuan Dynasty to exchange for food. He also took Shen Rong, the inspector of the canal transportation, as a hostage.
After a while, everyone knew the content of the briefing. Everyone was so angry that they were so angry that they were not allowed to be harassed at the border, but even the bandits were bullying them all.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to lead a team of soldiers and horses to destroy the bandits and promote my great power in the Yuan Dynasty." The person who spoke was a young general, who looked majestic and asked Emperor Yongyuan for his order.
Emperor Yongyuan looked at him, his eyelids twitched. He sent someone to see the briefing so simply. He still had to wait for them to ask for his life. Those who knew him looked at the general helplessly, "I am full of hearts, I feel so relieved. Let's retreat first and then discuss it later."
If you want to say that the bandits in Mushan are also an alternative group, it is quite historically a thing. Mushan is originally a wilderness, located on the border of the Three Kingdoms, with a desolate land and cannot be cultivated. No one settled here. The mountain peaks are cooked and steep. From the beginning of the Three Kingdoms, it was a place that was not in charge. It did not belong to the territory of any country. Because it was useless to earn it, it also consumed troops to guard it. But a barren mountain was left to it.
Who knew that later a group of bandits appeared here, occupying the mountain as king, and they didn't do anything that harmed the world. They just had nothing to do on the border of the Three Kingdoms and robbed something. At the beginning, there were troops nearby to encircle and suppress them, but the bandits were familiar with the terrain. When they entered the mountains, they could not even touch a ghost. They even used the mountain to beat the army entering the mountain to dizzy. This time, it was the first time that the three robbers had robbed the three troop boats.
Emperor Yongyuan asked everyone to express their opinions and gather ideas to see how to deal with this troublesome thing of whether it is big or small.
Finally, I felt that the court sent all the right candidates to deal with each other and bargained. The inspection of the canal transportation was at least a fifth-rank foreign official. If the court ignored it, it would be difficult for the court to explain to their families. In the future, officials from this type of transportation service would be uneasy and would still have to redeem them. As for sending troops to fight, it would be even more cost-effective to waste the people and money for the sake of the three-way salt.
But the question is, who will go? Not to mention the distance, this is not a good job. Whether it is done well or not is a burden, and there is no benefit at all.
If the official is too young, he is afraid that he will not be able to make a decision in the past, so he seems to be disregarding the robbed officials. If the official is too old, he will kill chickens and use a ox knife. Emperor Yongyuan is in a dilemma again. Recently, he has made him embarrassed one after another.
The discussion was fierce, but now he didn't hum again. In the end, the eldest prince paid attention and said that the 300,000 stones of grain collected for the court with his three inches of incomplete words was actually a talent and was the most suitable for this job. Maybe it was suitable to redeem people without a grain of food. Although the following words were somewhat obscure, Emperor Yongyuan thought it was good.
Yesterday, the Qingjin jade plaque made him unable to beat him, and he was even general Yijun. He was still holding his breath in his heart. Just so he asked the Bai family to go for errands. If it was not done well, he would have a reason to come back.
Qin Yuexi, Lao Luo and others heard the eldest prince’s advice and knew that Bai Yunxi had been running away this trip, hey!
When the imperial edict came down, Qing Jin was reading the classics. She always felt that she had made something wrong. In the past three hundred years, even if the local name changes, it should exist. How could there be no trace of it?
"Miss, are the prince and Mr. Luo coming?" Uncle Li learned his intelligence this time. Come in first to see the situation, so as not to let his lady look at it again as unkemptly as last time. By the way, although the prince had a princess, the eldest son of the Luo family was also an outstanding person.
Qing Jin moved his eyes away from the classics and said, "Let them come in." Uncle Li went out and invited people in.
As soon as the two of them came in, they saw Qingjin sitting at the desk, and there were still piles of messy books that were flipped.
"What's the matter? I'll let you guys come with me?" Qing Jin stood up, sat down on the couch beside him, and put it on the side in advance. He thought that after so many years, he would slowly check it.
Looking up, when I saw Qin Yuexi, I immediately remembered the scene in the palace. I was quite embarrassed, a little regretful, and I had a hint of pity. My eyes were so complicated that I made Qin Yuexi feel inexplicable. I thought something was wrong, so I looked around and found no inappropriate.
Li Luoxun, who was beside him, also felt that Qing Jin's eyes were a little weird today. He watched back and forth between the two but could not see anything, so he had to give up.
