Of course, He Hao from Daning City did not stop.Within half a month, someone sent the news to the Liaodong Dusi.
In Liaodong at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, more than one snowfall had fallen, and it was heavy snow outside.
The wind in the air is not strong, but it is biting cold.
When an official in the green robe lifted a curtain of Cao Yi's house, his face turned purple and his lips were frozen black.
Seeing that his hat and fur coat were covered with snowflakes, Cao Yi immediately called out: Governor Li came to sit by the fire.
The middle-aged civil servant, known as Governor Li, bowed first, thanked him, and walked to the stove. He gently patted the snowflakes on his arm a few times and said: At this time, I can't stop outside.
This is true in Liaodong, and it will be frozen for several months.Cao Yi responded, his eyes staying on Governor Li's face.Obviously Cao Yi wants to hear more reports.
Governor Li reached out to handcuffs by the furnace, stared at the flames for a while before speaking: General He stopped his business with the Urianha people, but the salt merchants in Daning City were doing that.
Cao Yi's expression suddenly changed, and his unconcealed anger appeared on his face. He took a breath and said coldly: Cover your ears and steal the bell.
Yes not?Governor Li said that since the troops and officials of King Ning left, there were only a few people in Daning City.Without He Hao's group of people's secret promises, the salt merchants certainly did not dare to do business.He paused and said softly, General He still couldn't bear to leave.
Cao Yi had already stood up from the chair and became worried and angry. He said: He Hao is going to make a comeback.I was in the Dusi Yamen and warned him several times, and sent someone to Daning City to supervise.Why does he want to do it alone?
Governor Li asked carefully: Why don’t Lord Cao find an excuse to transfer him back to Dusi and change him to Daning?
It will be useless for a while. Who among the generals in Daning City will not have a share?Only transferring one He Hao can't solve the urgent problem.It is not easy to deal with all the players.Cao Yi said.
Cao Yi quickly resisted the anger in his heart and said calmly: Things are tricky.
He said this, and he had other worries in his heart.
It turned out that He Hao was very obedient when he was in the Liaodong Dusi and always flattered Cao Yi.
Now that He Hao has the courage to disobey the top, Cao Yi's intuition is no longer reliable and uncontrollable, he is afraid that the forced force will be too tight, and the bold and arrogant warrior will jump over the wall.
Of course, Cao Yi was not confident enough. He divided the benefits and the big ones, and many people in the Liaodong Dusi also had a share.
If the matter is leaked, it will be a lot of people, and Cao Yi is the main culprit!
If it is not his support, no one will believe what happened in Liaodong Dusi.
At this moment, the thick curtain was lifted up again and the light in the room was lit.
A man in a bun without a hat and a robe walked in. He glanced at Governor Li who was sitting below, bowed and greeted him, then walked straight to Cao Yi, bowed his head and whispered a few words.
Has the emperor's army crossed Shanhaiguan? Cao Yi said in surprise, the weather is so cold, what should the emperor come to Liaodong?
The man in the robe said: That's true. I heard that the emperor had to walk through the Liaoxi Corridor before returning.
Cao Yi raised his hand and said, "I understand."
The man in the robe bowed and said he was leaving.
The news made Cao Yi even more nervous, and he always felt that the emperor came for the Liaodong officialdom.But he was not completely sure that such fear might be just guilty.
Governor Li said in his voice: To be honest, as long as General Bian has a way to get some money, it has never been a big deal. There is no chaos in Liaodong now, and the wealth path is very wide. What will happen to the emperor?
Cao Yi immediately shook his head without hesitation and said: No.
Cao Yi cannot fully confirm whether the emperor came out of the Liaodong Dusi, but Cao Yi did not question whether the emperor decided to forbid the border generals to make money.
Cao Yi said: In this position, I must not help but care about the situation in the court.In recent years, the imperial court has indeed obtained a lot of silver, but there are many places to spend money, and it seems that it is not very abundant.Now the Liaodong Pacific Institute is still rich and well-dressed. The emperor insists on increasing the transportation of money and food to Liaodong, and it must have a purpose.The purpose is also clear, and the emperor clearly stated it in Peking Prefecture.
Governor Li responded, nodded slowly, without arguing.
Cao Yi walked back and forth on the ground several times, and suddenly said: We can't twist this matter, but our arms can't twist our thighs.
Governor Li pondered: The emperor really decided to do this...
Cao Yi whispered: I have experienced several dynasties and have been in the officialdom for many years. I will definitely not be wrong.He thought about it and stamped his feet again, "He Hao, He Hao, that fool has caused me a lot!"
The situation in front of Cao Yi was both urgent and chaotic.
As long as the court investigates this matter, no one can escape the relationship between the Liaodong Metropolitan Office and no one can think of staying out of the matter.At the beginning of the matter, most people are not worried. After all, everyone thinks that the law does not blame the public.
But what happens if an emperor like Zhu Gaoxu, who is experienced in battle, is annoyed?Cao Yi thought for a long time, but couldn't think of any way to resist or fight against the emperor.
If He Hao and the gang of military generals in Daning City do not stop immediately, something will happen; the only way to take effect immediately is He Hao and others to reward him and listen to the arrangements of Dusi.
Otherwise, the Liaodong Metropolitan Office will have to undergo some open and secret adjustments, and the daylily will be cold by then.
Cao Yi sighed helplessly: The knife was not put on his neck. It was too difficult to let everyone take out the fat from their mouths.
Governor Li nodded again and agreed.However, it is unknown whether he understands what Cao Yi said.
Cao Yi did not understand what he meant, and he would definitely finish if he continued like this.
He didn't want to speak in front of the low-ranking Governor Li in this serious tone, so as not to show any surprise and no calmness of the general.
That's all for today.Cao Yi said.
Governor Li immediately stood up and said, "Goodbye, the official.
Cao Yi sent Governor Li to the door and stood there in deep thought.
...In winter, the temperature in Liaodong is lower than that in Peiping.
In the army that was protecting the troops, the soldiers all turned red with cold faces.
However, when people walk during the day, they are not too cold when exercising, but their faces and hands are uncomfortable.
Zhu Gaoxu had already set a schedule. After walking through the western Liaoning Corridor, he went to Jinzhou City, the capital of Zhong and Zuotunwei of Guangning, where he celebrated the New Year.Then set off for Beijing in the first month of next year.
As for the remnants of Tatars who had been to Peking, including former Khan concubine Asari and his son, they had stayed in Peiping and did not continue to go north with Zhu Gaoxu.
Asari was determined to return to the grassland and had hope for Benjali's son's future. Zhu Gaoxu could not convince her, and there was no need to force her, so he had to follow her wishes.
He also had no intention of taking advantage of Benjali's widow, so he handed Ashari and others over to the people guarding the Northern Office of the State Administration and guarding the city of Peking.
In any case, Zhu Gaoxu will definitely let them go sooner or later, but he will have to wait for news about Chen Xiang who was on the mission to Tatar.
The traffic was very slow at this time, and it was difficult for people to go home in time after traveling far away.
Zhu Gaoxu wrote several letters from home and sent messengers to send them back to the capital in private to bring some greetings to his family.He also wrote in his letter that he would return to the capital in February and March next year.
There are many festivals during the twelfth lunar month. When the army passed through the dense wards on the western Liaoning corridor, Zhu Gaoxu also felt the atmosphere of the New Year early.
His feeling was a bit strange. While missing his wives, concubines and children in Beijing, he also felt a sense of secret relaxation.
Because he traveled outside at the end of the year, he no longer had to experience endless banquets, sacrifices, and ceremonies.
I remember that I liked the excitement when I was young, but now he is gradually getting tired of those fake scenes.
The army had just passed by Ningyuanwei, and in the afternoon, they walked to a place that attracted Zhu Gaoxu's attention.
To the west of this place is a mountain, and you can see the seaside by looking east.
The seaside was white and the water surface was frozen.
Zhu Gaoxu sat on the horse's back and watched for a long time, and couldn't help but look back and forth: How long will the sea surface of Liaodong Dusi freeze?
Hou Hai bowed and said: When returning to the emperor, the ice age is roughly between one month and three months.
When Zhu Gaoxu heard it was Hou Hai's answer, he casually said: Hou Zuojun understands a lot.
I am not talented, so I am so good at dabbling with this.Hou Haidao.
Zhu Gaoxu asked again: What should I do if the ships in winter?
Hou Haidao: When it freezes in winter, ships cannot enter and exit the port.However, there are several places that are not frozen near Liaodong, one is in Lulong County, Yongping Prefecture, located in Shanhaiguan.There are two bays in Jinzhouwei (Lushun, Dalian) that do not freeze all year round.Ship boats can go to these places in winter, but they are usually deserted and the places that do not freeze are mostly not in the estuary.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded and said: It makes sense. If a river water dilutes the sea water, it will be easier to freeze.
Hou Hai was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't quite understand this truth, so he immediately said: The wise man.
Zhu Gaoxu said: So, should the mouth of Liaohe River freeze?
Hou Hai thought for a while and said: I am not sure, but I have never heard of it that it is not frozen there.
Zhu Gaoxu had already pulled a corner of the rolled-up map and looked at it: There is no garrison at the mouth of Liaohe River, nor does it have a port and dock set up by the government. There is only a Haizhou garrison far north.
Hou Hai echoed.
Zhu Gaoxu then ordered: Choose two people, take some entourage to the mouth of Liaohe River to see if there is a location where the port and dock can be set up.
Hou Haidao: I will receive the order.
Zhu Gaoxu thought that if the sea ships could be parked and unloaded at the mouth of the Liaohe River, the goods could go deep into the Liaodong Dusi through the Liaohe River and other water systems in the future.
Sea and water transportation with lower costs and greater transportation volume will completely change the situation in Liaodong Dusi.
This is also very consistent with his new policy, and trade transportation attaches great importance to the use of sea and water transportation.
But for the time being, everything is still in the imagination.
The reality in front of us is that the winter in Liaodong seems very desolate and deserted. Zhu Gaoxu looked at the snowy land. Except for the long dragon-like military ceremonial guards, there seemed to be no people nearby.
In Liaodong at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, more than one snowfall had fallen, and it was heavy snow outside.
The wind in the air is not strong, but it is biting cold.
When an official in the green robe lifted a curtain of Cao Yi's house, his face turned purple and his lips were frozen black.
