The next morning, Fan Ning sat in the official room to consider establishing the Shenwu Army Military Office. The military office is different from the Eastern Palace, and he basically decided the civilian officials of the military office.

Fan Ning first considered Song Ling and Tan Shenzhi of Yingtian Mansion. These two people were promoted by themselves, and were deeply influenced by themselves and tended to be conservative. Such people would not be favored by Wang Anshi, and being treated coldly was inevitable. Song Ling was very capable and experienced. Fan Ning considered transferring him to the military yamen to join the army. Tan Shenzhi was cautious and cautious. He had been a scholar Cao Sishi for five years and was also considered an old scholar Cao. He could continue to serve as a military officer.

Fan Ning decided to take this opportunity to help his old friend and transfer Lu Youwei and Duan Yu out of the Imperial Academy. Both of them entered the military yamen to join the army for the Six Caos.

After thinking about it for a morning, it was almost noon. At this time, the tea boy Wang Xi reported at the door: "I reported to Zhan Shi, someone outside looked for him, saying that he was Zhan Shi's old Kunzhou official."

If there was no last sentence, Fan Ning might not be willing to see him. He was really worried that someone would come to see him in the past two days. When he was in court this morning, he met several groups of people. It is said that many people visited him at night in his father-in-law Zhu Xiaoyun's mansion. Fortunately, not many people knew where he lived.

Fan Ning hurriedly walked out of the East Palace gate, and he saw Yu Xiaonian who was a little lost at first sight. Fan Ning was stunned. How could he be in the capital?

Yu Xiaonian happened to be working in the capital. He just entered Beijing early this morning and didn't know the situation in the capital. When the Ministry of Personnel notified him to be transferred to the East Palace, Yu Xiaonian felt like a blow and was completely confused. He actually asked himself to go to the East Palace. Who did he offend?

"Lao Yu, why are you in the East Palace?" Fan Ning walked up to him and asked with a smile.

"I remember you were transferred to Zuo Jianyuan. I just went to Zuo Jianyuan to find you, and I realized that you have been changed to the position of Prince Zhan. Congratulations on your promotion!"

Seeing his listless look, Fan Ning couldn't help laughing, "I actually went to Zuo Jianyuan to find me. It was a calendar hundreds of years ago. Do you not care about the affairs in the court?"

Yu Xiaonian suddenly remembered and couldn't help but slam his forehead, "I forgot that you were just a counselor and transferred to Yingtian Mansion at the beginning of last year."

"Yingtian Mansion is also an old Huangsheng, let's go! I'll invite you to drink."

Fan Ning took Yu Xiaonian to the Qingfeng Restaurant outside the imperial city.

The elegant room was gone. They found a table near the corner of the second floor. Fan Ning ordered a pot of wine and a few good dishes. Seeing that Yu Xiaonian was still worried, he smiled and said, "Is it a notice from the Ministry of Personnel to transfer to the East Palace?"

Yu Xiaonian sighed, "I am only 35 years old! I am actually going to be transferred to the East Palace for retirement."

An official next to him squirted out the wine, and there were people who were in pain for transferring the East Palace. Brother, I'm in Sansi, let's change it!

Fanning glared at the officials next to him, and the officials immediately changed seats tactfully and sat in the distance.

"Old Yu, I will only say a few words to you, and you will understand. The first sentence is my suggestion to transfer to the East Palace."

Yu Xiaonian's eyes suddenly widened. Before he could speak, Fan Ning waved his hand to stop him, "I'll hear my second sentence!"

Fan Ning said slowly: "From yesterday to today, more than a dozen officials have asked me to transfer them to the Eastern Palace, including the powerful official of the Ministry of Personnel."

No matter how stupid Yu Xiaonian was, he felt something was wrong. He asked in a low voice: "Why?"

"It's very simple. Now His Highness, King Liang is in the East Palace, and the emperor transfers ten officials to the East Palace to lay the foundation for King Liang."

Yu Xiaonian took a breath of air and said that King Liang had entered the East Palace. Of course, he knew that King Liang would become the crown prince, but after all, there was no enthronement, so he did not expect that the Eastern Palace would become a place of storm.

His voice trembled with excitement, "Are you following His Highness Liang?"

Fan Ning nodded, "King Liang wants to handle state affairs in the Eastern Palace and needs some assistant ministers. I recommend you to serve as the Zuo Chunfang Order. From the fourth rank, Lao Yu, you need to be promoted to another level!"

Yu Xiaonian covered his face with excitement. In just a moment, he seemed to have ascended from hell to heaven. He was extremely happy. After a while, he controlled his emotions and said, "Thank you, I'm sorry!"

"Don't be so polite. We're always in love. Tell me about the situation in Kunzhou!"

Yu Xiaonian is still serving as the judge of the overseas Jiedu Prefecture. In addition, he has just returned from Kunzhou for less than a year and has many contacts with Kunzhou.

"The official roads in Kunzhou have been built. The official roads are one or five feet wide and are stunned very flat and strong. After several years of heavy snow tests, there is no problem. Now we set off from Tang County to Jin County, ride a double horse and go quickly. We set off early in the morning and arrive in the evening."

"What's going on in Jin County?" Fan Ning asked again.

When Fan Ning left, Jin County's approval had already been brought down, but the city wall had not started to be built yet. He just dug a circle of rivers and canals to surround the town at that time.

"Jin County has been completed, but the population is not too large, only about one thousand households. There is also a river in the east of Jin County, which attracts the people of the whole county to go to find gold. Even the people of Tang and Han counties also went there. At that time, it was almost a year of fanaticism."

The problem of gold rush for the people has always been Fanning's biggest problem, and it was not resolved until he left. He asked with great interest: "How did the gold rush rush finally come down?"

"You have to be ruthless. First, lower the purchase price. The government only uses 300 cents per 2 gold sand to purchase it. Then Kunzhou strictly prohibits the use of gold as currency, and even dowrying with a wife is not allowed. The third method is to increase the price of grain, and the people who abandon farming and go to hunt for gold were miserable. They were hungry for a year and finally posted all the gold sand they had been hunted for to buy food. The living conditions dropped sharply, but the people who did not go to hunt for gold were very comfortable. Only then did everyone realize that gold in Kunzhou was useless. In the second year, no one went to hunt for gold and farmed desperately."

"Will anyone want to return to the Song Dynasty?"

"There are also some of the elderly who want to be buried in their hometown and be buried with their parents. We will introduce a measure. After the elderly die, we will build a tomb in their hometown to satisfy their last wishes. Of course, we will take care of the expenses by ourselves. Each person will charge about fifty cents of money, which can be repaid in ten years."

"What about Japan? What's the situation in Japan?"

"There shouldn't be much change in Japan, and the internal strife is very fierce. We discovered the third silver mountain in the country of Wudai. It has a larger reserve and is easy to mine. Japan alone can provide three million taels of silver and four hundred thousand taels of gold every year. Now Kunzhou and Japan have become the largest source of gold and silver in the Song Dynasty."

Fan Ning did have a deep understanding that the Song Dynasty has been much richer in the past two years, and there has been basically no overdraft. It has gradually made up for the overspending in previous years. Overseas trade has brought back abundant supplies, mainly spices and precious wood.

"How is the situation in War Horse and Whale State?"

"The war horses are almost 100,000. At the beginning of this year, 10,000 will be returned to the Spring Festival travel rush, and another 30,000 will be returned next year. We have opened another pasture in the country of Wuyu. We mainly raise short horses, relying on them to transport the crude silver smelted from the mines and start supplying the Song Dynasty next year."

"As for Jingzhou, it is still too cold. Currently, it mainly uses logging and mining, and silver ore is transported to Han County for smelting."

The two drank and chatted, completely immersed in their memories of Kunzhou.

The next day was Xunxi, and Fanning's family arrived in the capital in the morning. Their ships arrived directly at the private pier of Feihongqiao's Fuzhai. They entered the house as soon as they got ashore. There were more than 20 ships in the fleet, all of which were 500 stone medium-sized ships. Except for five passenger ships, more than a dozen were cargo ships full of luggage.

Zhu Jie brought more than a dozen servants to help move all her luggage into the mansion.

Zhu Pei said to Fan Ning with great emotion: "After moving over the years, this time it is the most comfortable to move. The door is opposite, and the boat is on the other side, and the same is true for this side. You will get home when you get ashore, minimizing your fatigue."

In fact, not only Zhu Pei felt this way, but all the servants and servants felt comfortable. They went back to their house when they got ashore, made the bed and packed their belongings, and prepared to have a good sleep.

Everyone doesn’t have to worry about lunch or dinner, all provided by Qingfeng Restaurant on the south bank of Feihong Bridge.

At this time, Fanning found that his daughter Azhen had a pouted mouth and his eyes were red. He was surprised and hurriedly picked up his daughter and asked, "Zhener, why are you crying?"

"My little deer, my rabbit." Ah Zhen cried with his father's neck.

Fan Ning then remembered that there was a mountain in Yingtian Mansion's house, and there was a lake here. He hurriedly said, "Isn't there a hill by our lake?"

A mound was indeed created by the lake, covering an area of ​​about three acres and three meters high. More than a dozen big trees were planted on it, and a pavilion was built, forming a very exquisite mountain view, which of course cannot be compared with the ten acres of mountains in Chai Mansion.

"Our mountain is too small." Ah Zhen thrust.

Fan Ning said ruthlessly: "We spread all the lakeside into grass. You can raise small hedgehogs, squirrels and deer on the mountain, and rabbits and lambs on the grass. Dad will buy them today. Do you think it's okay?"

Azhen finally burst into tears and laughed, "Okay!"
Chapter completed!
