Mu Tingxue naturally knew about the rebellion of the Liu people in the southwest. The Southwest General Soldier sent a message to the Ministry of Household Affairs every month to ask for pay. Last year, he wrote that he was a bandit of 15 yuan and asked for [-] silver in military pay. In June this year, he has become a bandit. One hundred thousand, requiring [-] military pay.

The more and more people were suppressed, the blood pressure of the imperial court increased.

One has to wonder whether the Southwest General Soldier and the governors of the three nearby states were trying to support the bandits in order to enrich their own pockets.

The regent personally led the troops to quell the rebellion, which was indeed the most efficient and "economical" way.

Yan Yang ordered the Ordnance Institute and Military Factory to manufacture tens of thousands of mechanical repeating crossbows and millions of arrows. He definitely wanted to go to the battlefield to test the power of the new weapons in person!

On the first day of July in the summer season, the sun is as hot as fire.

Yan Renqing returned from Mizhou and made meritorious service in transporting anti-epidemic supplies. He was rewarded by the imperial court and his prestige was enhanced.

However, before he had time to rest for two days, he immediately followed the army of Yan Yang, the governor of Zhenbei, to the southwest to quell the rebellion.

"Renqing has grown taller again."

Mu Tingxue discovered that his sharp phoenix eyes exuded an unyielding and heroic aura.Based on his appearance alone, no one could guess that he was once the young master of Xiaoxiang Shuiyun Pavilion who excelled in piano skills.

Yan Renqing has an upright temperament. He cannot stand the dirty officialdom and does not want to live in the same world.

But only when facing the eldest princess, he would lower his guard, and a gentle smile appeared on his stern handsome face: "Since I met Your Highness, I have relied on your selfless help in everything. I went to Mizhou to gain experience, Renqing." gain much."

Mu Tingxue said regretfully: "It's a pity that you became a military commander. If you had accepted the Yan family and joined the civil service, you could have been my helper in the Ministry of Household Affairs."

This is a genius who has a photographic memory of reading and memorizes it backwards and forwards.

If Renqing becomes a civil servant, she can safely leave Woyejiang's salt administration to him.

Renqing is the illegitimate son of his brother-in-law Yan Xi. He has no background. His biological mother is an oiran and her status is too low. Moreover, he and the loyal Xunyin are still masters and apprentices.He was originally a young man from a land of fireworks with no future and no choice. He was promoted by himself. Such talents are very useful and can be used wherever he wants.

In contrast, those children of aristocratic families who already have a bright future may turn to themselves because of temporary interests, but they will not completely obey their orders.

Let's put it this way, Renqing will do life-threatening work with the eldest princess, but others will not.

Yan Renqing felt a little moved when he heard what she said.

A doting smile appeared on Yan Yang's cold face, and he hit the nail on the head: "My cousin said she was here to see me off, but she poached me at the gate of the city."

Mu Tingxue was directly distracted by her fiancé, and she coughed in embarrassment: "I haven't been able to find a suitable candidate for the position of Woyejiang Salt Transport Envoy."

The Li family, the Cui family, and the Nangong family all tried their best to airborne their own people.

She has been on guard and has not let them succeed so far.

"Zheng Suiliang, the Minister of Household Affairs, has always had your trust, hasn't he?"

The reason why Yan Yang knew this was because this old Zhengtou wore the ribbon of being the best employee of the June Household Department and flaunted it all day long.

Just like Lu Jingyan, who was responsible for re-editing the "Fish Scales Atlas", he loved to show off.It is said that Lu Jingyan wore the ribbon of the best employee every day and took him to various aristocratic families to measure the land and offend the powerful people. He would bite anyone who hid the land.

"Old Zheng is my chief secretary and the second-in-command of the Ministry of Household Affairs. I left Yundu to go to Baidi City to harvest tomatoes. I had to go back and forth for at least half a month. I had to rely on Old Zheng to help me guard the base camp. The Ministry of Household's message was rejected. If necessary, only he can temporarily handle it on my behalf."

"Nan Ye also holds the title of Minister of Household Affairs. He is relatively stable." Yan Yang suggested another candidate.

"It's just a distant leader. Cousin Nanye doesn't come here often. His main focus is still on Shangshu Province, and his chief position is Shangshu Zuocheng."

Mu Tingxue sighed quietly, "If I transfer him to Woyejiang to serve as salt transport envoy, far away from Yundu and in Shangshu Province, my uncle will be suppressed by Li Fan immediately without helpers."

This father and son are on the front lines fighting fiercely against the head of the Li family and resisting pressure.

The Shangshu Province is the most strife-ridden department among the three provinces and six ministries.The minister's ministers have great power, because all the documents submitted are in duplicate and must first go through the Shangshu Province. This is equivalent to them filtering "junk information" for the emperor and the queen mother. Those documents they feel are inappropriate. It cannot be submitted.It will then be further reviewed and approved by the two departments of Menxia and Zhongshu.

If Yan Dang fails to insert people in Shangshu Province, the consequences will be serious.Zuo Pu shoots Li Fan, and he can control what information is allowed to be read by the emperor and the queen mother, and what information is not allowed to be read by the emperor and the queen mother, thereby controlling the entire country.This is how the Prime Minister was born.

Yan Yang felt that what she said was reasonable, so he posed the question to his cousin Yan Renqing: "If you want to help His Highness, I will reserve the title of Zhenbei Zhonglang General."

This can be said to be very kind.

Yan Renqing was allowed to hold civil and military positions at the same time.

Even Qin Xiaohou, who was riding on a white horse and dressed in silver armor, couldn't help but feel a little sour when he heard it. His uncle must be too kind to this recognized illegitimate son of the Yan family.

Yan Renqing took a step towards Mu Tingxue despite the jealous looks of everyone.

Mu Tingxue showed a victorious smile.

Yan Yang was helpless: "You took him away after all. In fact, Renqing has made rapid progress in the military."

He originally planned to focus on training. It is normal for an army of 50 to have one or twenty regular generals and partial generals.

"As compensation, this tip is given to Yangyang."

Mu Tingxue happily handed it over.

Yan Yang's heart felt hot. In front of the soldiers of the three armies, his fiancée gave him a bag of tips and tricks!

It was immediately hung on the waist.

Mu Tingxue realized that her fiancé seemed to have misunderstood: "The weather is hot, especially in the southwest, and there is something in the bag..."

The regent's ears were red, and he immediately slapped his horse and led the army to leave quickly toward the southwest.

"Hey? Why did he run away and didn't listen to what I had to say?" Mu Tingxue said with fury, "There is a way to make ice in the bag! You bastard!"

She wrote down the steps for making ice from saltpeter.

There happens to be a saltpeter mine in the southwest mountainous area.

"Probably, he's shy." Renqing wisely saw through the regent's cousin.

*. *. *

Mu Tingxue arranged two things at lightning speed.

One: Helped Renqing to be the salt transport envoy of Woyejiang, and taught him the secret recipe for making refined salt from soybean milk. The northwest region was not suitable for this method, but the Woyejiang area was rich in soybeans and the cost was not high.

Renqing was relatively junior and was afraid that if he went to Woye River, he would not be able to suppress a group of salt merchants who were bullshit, ghosts, and snakes, so he could only give him a secret recipe.

88: With the help of Li Shilang of the Ministry of Punishment, a total of [-] articles in the "Law of Divine Food" were promulgated. The law was very detailed and thoughtful, and was approved by the Queen Mother and fully implemented.

Early July.

Mu Tingxue set off for Baidi City to collect vegetables.

She was sitting in the carriage with a secret letter in front of her from Yang Lin, the governor of water transportation.

[The eldest princess sees words like meeting:

There is a Jiang Secretary in the Water Transport Yamen, who provides ten water boats to King Qin Ling every year to transport private goods.

After Xiaguan found out last month, he deposed this person. King Qin Ling immediately sent a personal letter to Xiaguan, requesting to continue to borrow the official ship, and attached a bribe of [-] taels.This matter is related to taxation, and I kindly ask Your Highness to make a decision. 】

"Xie Yi actually used official water transport ships to engage in maritime smuggling?"

Because Dongsang Japanese pirates have been causing trouble along the southeast coast, Yunhuang has implemented a strict maritime ban. Anyone who trades with Dongsang Japanese pirates has to move three thousand miles to guard the border and is never allowed to return to his hometown. Once all smuggling cargo ships are seized, they will be concentrated Burn.
