After walking a short distance, it was getting farther away from the checkpoint. After a few words to the old man, Zhu Youjian already knew his name. With suspicion in his heart, Tian Hongyu asked with a pleasing question: "Prince, I don't know when the villain has seen you, thank you for your kindness to save me."

Zhu Youjian said: "Don't you remember that I bought ginseng from you two months ago? I also asked you to bring me to Liaodong for a look, but now you have come quietly and don't say hello to me."

Tian Hongyu remembered it, but he didn't expect that the young man was a prince that day. Tian Hongyu smiled bitterly and said, "Prince, don't tease the villain. Because of the prince's kindness, the villain will not come out of seclusion and will return to the capital in two days."

Zhu Youjian turned around and said, "No need, I can save you and have some use to get you. Let's go to the inn to discuss in detail."

However, when Ma Shilong came to the governor's office, Ma Shilong reported the matter to Sun Chengzong in detail. Sun Chengzong only thought that this was Zhu Youjian's young character. At worst, he could just bring some goods out of seclusion and earn some silver. There was nothing big about it. After praising Ma Shilong for a few words, he buried himself in a document that had accumulated as mountains and seas.

The post station knew that King Zhao had checked in today, and the post station had already cleaned the site. However, it was a border station after all, and although he tried his best to clean it, it was only a little clean, and the room was still simple.

There was only two days of suspension at Shanhaiguan, and we had to continue moving forward. Zhu Youjian asked all unrelated personnel to rest, and called Lai Wen Zhenmeng, Sun Chuanting, Xu Eryi and others to come to the lobby of the inn. He ordered Tian Hongyu to wait in the side hall and discuss matters with him later. Since he learned that Zhu Youjian had something to ask him to do, he felt a little nervous and was sitting on the chair with pins and needles.

When we arrived at the hall, everyone sat down. Zhu Youjian said, "Now we have arrived in Liaodong. What should we do next? We have to make a charter. Mr. Wen will tell you first."

The prince clicked himself, and Wen Zhenmeng bowed and said, "Since the prince asked me to say it, I'm not polite. Our Jinzhou is now in northeastern Liaodong, very close to the Later Jin Dynasty. It's already June, and it's not long before the autumn harvest will be coming. Although there is not much arable land in Jinzhou, it's expected that the Later Jin Dynasty will inevitably come to harass and robbery. Our top priority is to defend Jinzhou and make a good harvest."

Speaking of military affairs, Sun Chuanting was inspiration. Wen Zhen and Meng Gang finished speaking, Sun Chuanting said: "Prince, when he was in the capital, His Majesty gave the prince three guards the right to horses. Now he has to hurry up when he arrives in Liaodong. However, there is not much time now, and it is probably difficult to train the troops in an urgent manner. We still have to rely on the Liaodong army to survive this year. If the recruitment goes smoothly, I guarantee that the prince will have an elite soldier that can fight every year."

Zhu Youjian said: "Yes, Mr. Wen, what Mr. Sun said is the urgent need now. Whether the autumn harvest can be saved and whether Jinzhou can be defended is our most critical task now. Although training seems hasty now, we cannot relax. If it is a local refugee in Liaodong, the national hatred and family hatred will be in hand, and it will be effective after two months of training. The Liaodong army naturally needs their help now, but our lives must be in our own hands!"

Everyone claimed yes. After a pause, Zhu Youjian said again: "But there is something else now. Please discuss it. The genin customer I saved today may not be familiar with. I went to his store to buy ginseng two months ago and learned that he went to the Houjin to buy ginseng every year. When we first arrived in Liaodong, we knew almost nothing about the Houjin situation. Can we learn about the situation of the Houjin through him?"

Wen Zhenmeng pondered for a moment and said, "It's just that the merchant values ​​profit and neglects righteousness. It's a bit inappropriate to entrust such a big thing to a client. However, it would be feasible if some guards were drawn from the royal palace and mixed into his caravan."

When Xu Er saw everyone making suggestions, but he had limited knowledge of military affairs, so he was stuck on the side. Wang Zheng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have never been able to do anything with the army. However, since I can't practice military training for a while, I have gained some unexpected gains from the firearms during the banquet yesterday."

People from later generations naturally knew the power of firearms. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, after the development of Hongwu and Yongle, the level of firearms used by the army had reached the peak of the feudal dynasty. Especially the emergence of the Portuguese in the South China Sea, the artillery made a qualitative leap.

Zhu Youjian asked, "Mr. Wang said frankly."

Wang Zheng fell: "During the banquet yesterday, I also attended the meeting and became a minor official named Sun Yuanhua. According to him, Lord Yuandao Ningyuandao obtained twenty Fran machine cannons from the Folang Ji. However, the military pay was insufficient, so he only bought ten, and the remaining ten were still parked in Ningyuan. Those Franchisemen had not left yet, if there were these ten cannons, Jinzhou would have an additional barrier."

Today's Folang machine cannon is undoubtedly the most advanced artillery in the world today. It is mainly because although the Ming Dynasty produced iron ore, the iron quality of the barrel when casting the cannon did not meet the requirements. The barrel is often not strictly closed, and it is easy to explode once the cannon is fired multiple times. This is also the reason why the cannon has not been used on a large scale.

This is a pie that falls from the sky, so you must not miss it! Zhu Youjian said: "Mr. Wang's news is too timely. Please ask Mr. Wang for this matter. No matter how much silver is used, be sure to bring these ten cannons back to Jinzhou. In addition, if the cannons are used, I think they will not be used if they are bought. If those Folang Ji people can buy them with money, don't be stingy. If they don't listen to their advice, don't be polite, and they must be tied up!"

Wang Zheng was just afraid that he would not say anything, so King Zhao looked down on him again. Now that King Zhao attaches importance to firearms, the opportunity to show his ambitions seems to be coming! Suppressing his inner excitement, Wang Zheng said: "Then I will not go with the prince. It will take a long night and dreams. I will ask the prince to send someone to Ningyuan tomorrow. Even if I have to fight my life, this matter will be done."

Zhu Youjian smiled and said, "Sir, do your best to do it. Let the guards accompanying you allocate twenty people tomorrow and bring enough silver to go with the gentleman." Wang Zheng responded.

When Zhu Youjian said something, he bought ten cannons. When he thought of one cannon, he would cost more than a thousand taels of silver. When he came to Jinzhou, all kinds of waste would be prosperous. Ten cannons could recruit as many soldiers as possible to build as many places as possible.

Wen Zhenmeng was really reluctant and said, "Prince, this cannon costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. In addition, the cannon trains soldiers, I am afraid that even 20,000 taels of silver will not be able to be beaten. I hope the prince will think twice!"

It seems that he, the steward, has begun to worry about money, and Zhu Youjian does not think it is offensive. This just shows that Wen Zhenmeng is concerned about him. He turned around and said to Wen Zhenmeng: "Sir, I don't know that this Folang machine cannon is amazing, and it is a few feet long after one shot. We really lack soldiers now, so we have to use it. Besides, with Mr. Wang Zheng, if we learn to manufacture Folang machine cannons, the cost will definitely be greatly reduced. This is a huge profit, so don't worry."

The prince knew the importance of it. Wen Zhenmeng knew that although this little prince was not old, he was extremely smart, so he no longer objected. He ordered Sun Chuanting to intervene in recruiting soldiers when he arrived in Jinzhou. It is difficult to arrange the other things that were not seen in Jinzhou now. Zhu Youjian asked everyone to go back to rest.

I remembered that I asked Tian Hongyu to go to the side hall to wait, and I asked someone to call him out. Zhu Youjian said, "You have been waiting for a long time, but it's not a big deal. I'm just a little busy and I don't know if my father can do it."

Tian Hongyu gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know what the prince has to let the villain do. As long as the villain can do it, I will do my best. However, the villain only has one daughter in his life. If the villain fails, I hope the prince will take care of him."

Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing twice and said, "Brother-in-law, where are you thinking? I don't have the hobby of forcing the people to steal the girls. I just asked you to find two good ginseng, and the money will not be short. You will be sent to the palace for your birthday. You will naturally rely on you for your daughter, and I will not take the blame."

It turned out that he had thought it was a bit out of his mind, and Tian Hongyu's old face was a little hot. However, since the prince was just digging ginseng, it was naturally difficult for him. I guess every household in the Jurchen family is garrisoning for ginseng customers. It is not easy to get out of seclusion this year, so I will definitely make a big contribution. Thinking of this, Tian Hongyu, who was happy, said: "Don't worry, Prince, the villain will bring you a few top-quality Changbai Mountain Ginseng for the prince."

"That's right," Zhu Youjian said inadvertently, "It's just that, your father-in-law, you go to the wolf's den. When you come back, you'll be unable to tell me if you check it. It's better for me to send you a few guards, which will make it safe for you to enter and exit the level two."

Tian Hongyu thought that King Zhao could not trust him, but the prince just put a spy on his back, which was not a big deal. At worst, he could just give him some profit. Tian Hongyu agreed with him, and he wanted to go to Changbai Mountain to buy ginseng, and Tian Hongyu also had to pass by Jinzhou. In addition, Zhu Youjian had not yet decided who to send, so he asked him to go to Jinzhou with him first and then set off on the day.

I heard that when I was passing by the room, it was already the third update. I felt sleepy and told Tian Hongyu to leave. Zhu Youjian returned to his room and stopped washing and fell asleep.
