Meishan Su family, Su Yun is the most virtuous

Chapter 219 A fatal appointment!
After returning from the palace, Su Yun immediately arranged various follow-up tasks.

First of all, it was the matter of Wuyou Cave. Su Yun first called Deng Qi and told him his plan step by step.

"...According to my original plan, I was going to finish this matter after the Spring Festival because I didn't have much time. However, in this situation, there is no need to rush. This way, I can do it more thoroughly.

After I leave, you don't have to worry. Wait for Liulichang to produce some goods. After you get all the elderly, the weak, women and children out, you can launch a general offensive during the rainy season and solve this problem at one time.

After that, we just need to clean the sewers every once in a while, so that regular inspections can be made to prevent problems from happening again..."

Su Yun told Deng Qi all the details without reservation. Deng Qi wanted to speak again and again, but he didn't dare to interrupt Su Yun. After Su Yun finished speaking, he asked, "You said you want to leave. Where are you going?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "I have already asked to guard the border and go to the northwest."

Deng Qi was surprised and asked, "But what big thing happened in the court? Why are you going to the northwest?"

Su Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, I want to go there on my own. Yongle City was defeated, and I feel really aggrieved. I want to go and see if I can do something."

Deng Qi's face was solemn, and he said, "I dare not stop you from making the decision, but you must let me go with you. Although I don't know what you are going to do, I can still help a little."

Su Yun patted Deng Qi's shoulder, and Deng Qi quickly bent down to make it more comfortable for Su Yun to pat him. In fact, this was not necessary because Su Yun was tall enough.

Su Yun said: "You are kind enough, but you must stay in Bianjing City and help me complete the Wuyou Cave matter.

In addition, your appointment as the judge will come soon. Do your job well and be nicer to the people.

I don't ask you to love the people like your own children, but you should not oppress them either. You should restrain your officials a little and don't go too far."

Deng Qi looked up in surprise and said, "You helped me get a judge, Jianzhou, you are worthy of being my adopted parent!"

Su Yun laughed and said, "You are exaggerating. Since I became the magistrate, if it weren't for your support, I would not have been able to accomplish these things. This is what you deserve."

Deng Qi shook his head and said, "What I have done is just running errands. Anyone can do it. What I have done is also what this position is supposed to do.

There is no reward for doing what you should do. It is good enough not to be scolded. There is no such thing as reward for merit.

This judge was invited by you, Jianzhou. I know this very well. Without you, how could I be where I am now? "

Su Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "Well, I understand your intention. If you have any problems here that are difficult to solve, you can go to Zhang's house and find my father-in-law. He will guide you."

Deng Qi was overjoyed when he heard this. The fact that Su Yun could say this showed that he already regarded him as his confidant!

Who is Zhang Dun? He is the vice-chancellor of the imperial court and one of the top bosses. With Su Yun’s introduction, Zhang Dun will be his backer from now on!
Then Su Yun said, "You have met Ah Hui. He helps me manage some of my businesses, including egg-filled pancakes and Liulichang. Please help me protect him.

But there is no need to interfere too much. The disputes between them and the street thugs will be resolved by themselves.

What you need to pay attention to is whether there are any officials involved. If so, warn them. If you can't handle it, find my father-in-law."

Deng Qi nodded repeatedly and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely take it to heart. Leave these things to me. When you come back, these industries will surely become more prosperous!"

Deng Qi perked up and thought to himself that he must have good contact with Ah Hui in the future. He heard that they were trying to grab market channels from those local thugs and were planning to set up a freight company or something. He must use his identity as a judge to help Ah Hui do these things.

Not to mention monopolizing the entire Bianjing’s market transportation, that is not realistic, but at least we have to grab a part of the market share.

As for what Jianzhou said about not interfering too much, hehe, Jianzhou can say that, but I would be stupid to listen to him that way.

Of course, Jianzhou must be sincere, but I am also sincere. As long as I don't break the law and just show a little bias, it will be enough to accomplish my goal.

It is said that Jianzhou has quite a few elite soldiers and generals under his command, such as Ahui and Ahu, and the young and strong men they lead are really brave and capable.

The last time Yongle City was defeated and there was riot in the city, Ah Hu led his men to fight against those bandits. Their bravery was much stronger than that of the yamen runners.

Later, they assisted the yamen runners in suppressing riots on the streets and even became the main force. These people were very brave.

Also, when Ah Hui and Ah Hu led them to fight against the local tigers, the local tigers could not resist at all. If they had not been more sensitive recently, they would have been defeated long ago.

Deng Qi felt that he didn't need to do too much. He just needed to intimidate the local tigers when they took action behind the scenes... Hehe, it would be enough to intimidate them by using Zhang Shangzheng's tiger skin.

If I can help Ah Hui and his men seize the market freight supply in East City, then I will have accomplished a great feat.

The freight supply in the Dongcheng market was extremely lucrative. There were originally dozens of local tycoons there, each of whom occupied a street or a market, or even a business, which was enough to make them and their backers earn a lot of money.

If we can seize the market freight supply in East City, the wealth we will gain will be extremely staggering.

Su Yun didn't know what Deng Qi was thinking about this, so he called Ah Hui and asked the two to get acquainted with each other, and then explained the matters concerning Liulichang.

"...The glass formula has been given to you. Ask the craftsmen to make it as soon as possible. Remember to keep the formula secret. Once it passes the test, you can start large-scale production.

By then, Liulichang can be divided into three parts: one to produce the top-notch glass luxury goods, one to produce daily necessities that occupy the mid-range market, and one to produce window glass.

I hope that when I come back, every household will have glass windows.

In addition, once the iron forgers have successfully tested the steel formula, you will send the formula to my father-in-law..."

Su Yun gave detailed instructions one by one, asking Ahui and Deng Qi to find Zhang Dun if they had any problems. As for why he didn't find Su Zhe, it was because Zhang Dun had a high official position, and secondly, Su Yun was a little wary of Su Zhe.

Different political views are a big problem. Su Yun believes that there are only some differences of opinion at the moment, but that may not be the case in the future.

Su Yun is a person of later generations, and a citizen of China, which has grown into the second largest country in the world. He has an overflowing sense of national pride and honor in his heart. How could he possibly watch his country continue to be in such a cowardly state?

It would have been fine if I just wanted to lie down before, but now that I want to do something, how could I possibly do something that would be pacifist? When Su Yun wants to march north, but Su Zhe is a pacifist, will there be a conflict?

Su Yun didn't know, but he didn't dare to gamble, so he couldn't let Su Zhe know too much about the things he was doing now, otherwise, what would he do if he was stabbed in the back one day?

To put it bluntly, he and the Su brothers were just from the same clan. The only person Su Zhe cared about was Su Shi. Su Yun didn't realize how important other people were to him.

But Zhang Dun made Su Yun feel more at ease. Zhang Dun was a staunch reformer. He and Su Yun were of the same kind, so-called like-minded people.

Moreover, Zhang Dun married his most beloved daughter to him, so their relationship was actually much closer than that of Su Che and others.

Therefore, if these things can be done without Su Che knowing about them, it would be best not to let him know, so as to avoid any hidden dangers.

It would be great if we could just be good relatives and continue to be good friends.

While Su Yu was arranging these things, a quarrel broke out in the court regarding Su Yun's new appointment.

Zhao Xu's appointment of Su Yun aroused opposition from the ministers.

But what is surprising is that it was not Wang Gui, Zhang Xu and others who opposed it, but Zhang Dun.

Zhang Dun was extremely dissatisfied with the emperor's decision and said, "Xu Xi made the same mistake before. How can the emperor make the same mistake again? If we lose Mizhi Village, Jialu Village, and Futu Village, the court's efforts of more than ten years will be lost in one day!

Not only that, Su Yun, this outstanding young man, will also lose his future. Your Majesty, this appointment must not be made!"

Zhao Xu faced Zhang Dun's fury with a calm expression and said, "Mr. Zhang is Ju Zheng's father-in-law. Doesn't he know that this is Ju Zheng's own request?"

Zhang Dun said angrily: "I know that he asked to guard the border, but he chose a military prefecture far behind. Sending him directly to the Suide Army is not training him, but harming him!"

Zhao Xu shook his head and said, "If we have a sense of justice in military affairs, we will not let things deteriorate to such a level."

Just as Zhang Dun was about to argue, Wang Gui, Zhang Xu and others agreed, saying that the government's decision was correct and that Su Yun, an outstanding young man, should go to the front line to hone his skills. They said that Han Zhongxian also guarded the northwest as a teenager and although he suffered some failures, he also became a famous prime minister of the Song Dynasty.

Zhang Dun was extremely angry. He naturally knew that Wang Gui and Zhang Xu both had bad intentions and wanted to use this opportunity to kill Su Yun. Even if he couldn't die, once the territory was lost, Su Yun's future would be greatly affected!

However, Zhang Dun's opposition was of no avail, because the decision was made by Zhao Xu, and Prime Minister Wang Gui and Vice-Chancellor Zhang Xu all agreed, while Cai Que did not stand on Zhang Dun's side. Zhang Dun alone could not resist at all.

Moreover, the appointment was so quick that after the discussion in the morning, Su Yun received the appointment letter in the afternoon.

By the time the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion came to ask Su Yun to go to the Zhang Mansion quickly, Su Yun had even studied the appointment letter thoroughly.

This letter of appointment is very interesting.

Ji's salary and official rank remained unchanged, but his assignment was quite interesting. He was appointed as the military commander of Fuyan Road and concurrently in charge of Suide military affairs.

Su Yun studied this appointment for a long time before he figured it out. He couldn't help but sigh, "The government has good intentions!"

The so-called Fuyan Road Military Commander was in charge of the military affairs of a state, a road or several routes. He was responsible for training, reviewing, rewarding and punishing, and consulting with the Fuyan Road General and signing documents to dispatch troops.

Although it was said that the governor was not subject to any constraints, this military commander actually formed a constraint on the governor of Fuyan Road, especially when Su Yun was still a civil servant.

But now the governor of Fuyan Road is Zhong Yan. Previously, Yongle City was besieged by the Western Xia army, and Zhong Yan waited and watched without going to rescue. Zhao Xu hoped that he could still serve in the future, so he ignored his waiting and not rescuing. Moreover, because he was worried about the attack of the Xia army, he appointed Zhong Yan as the governor of Yanzhou.

Zhong Yan was a general and a big boss in the army, so his authority was naturally very great.

After what happened with Xu Xi, Zhong Yan must have been extremely wary of civil officials. If he took office with just a military commander, he would probably not be able to intervene in any military affairs. After all, the army was full of Zhong Yan's people. No matter how he intervened, he might end up being sidelined and unable to do anything.

But if you add a military commander in Suide, it will be different.

Suide Military Affairs was the governor of Suide, which was a military state. The governor of Suide Military Affairs was in charge of all military and civilian affairs of Suide Army. In Suide Army, Su Yun had the final say on all affairs. In this way, Su Yun's power was fully vested.

In other words, Su Yun has the final say within the Suide Army. In this way, if Su Yun wants to reorganize the Suide Army garrison, Zhong Yan will not dare to interfere easily.

However, the government was really bold, as it actually put such an important area as Suide Army under his control.

You know, Yongle City is located in Suide Army, which is the front line of the junction with Western Xia. Although the battle of Yongle City was lost, the war has not stopped and the two sides are still in constant conflict.

Especially in places like Mizhizhai, Jialuzhai, and Futuzhai, both sides are still fighting fiercely for them, because these places are the commanding heights that control Hengshan and contain a large amount of fertile farmland. Whoever controls these places will have a strategic advantage!
The government has handed these strategic locations over to a military newcomer like me to take charge of. Aren't they afraid of losing these strategic locations?

Just as Su Yun was sighing with emotion, the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion came hurriedly to invite him, so Su Yun hurried to the Zhang Mansion.

Zhang Dun saw the appointment letter in Su Yun's hand at a glance, and immediately snorted angrily, saying: "It is obvious that these people are trying to harm others!"

Seeing Zhang Dun so furious, Su Yun quickly asked, "Father-in-law, what happened?"

Zhang Dun asked, "Have you studied the appointment letter?"

Su Yun nodded and handed the appointment letter to Zhang Dun. Zhang Dun glanced at it, threw it on the table and said, "Don't accept this appointment letter. It's a mess."

Su Yun asked cautiously: "Father-in-law, is there a problem with this appointment letter?"

Zhang Dun snorted and said, "Haven't you studied it clearly? Don't you understand the sinister nature of this appointment letter?"

Su Yun was a little confused and said, "This appointment letter meets my requirements. It can reorganize the army and test the army's capabilities. Isn't it great?"

"Very good?" Zhang Dun got angry when he heard it and said, "That's the front line. You are a newcomer on the battlefield, and you go directly to fight against the Xia people. This is asking for your life!"
