Chapter 322 The Threat of Xinzhizhou
Tang Yin's refusal to be an official is a normal thing in the eyes of Prince Xing's mansion.

Zhu Youzhu didn't force it.

In the end, he only asked Tang Yin to come to welcome Xinzhizhou on his behalf, and to send off Jiangnan Governor Wang Shouren... Comprehensive news from all aspects, that is, what happened in the past few days.

Coming out of the study, Tang Yin asked directly: "Zhu Hao, before Wang Bo'an said that he would wait for the local magistrate to take office before leaving. Do you know the reason?"

Zhu Hao said: "It's not easy? You can't get the truth out of your mouth, and Kuang Zhizhou refuses to tell the truth. Of course, you have to get an idea from Xinzhizhou. After the handover is completed, the people from the prefectural government will report to Xinzhizhou. Regarding the situation on the battlefield, Governor Wang thinks that there may be an opportunity to learn the secret of the new gunpowder... I'm just guessing, and I can't be sure."

Tang Yin nodded: "No wonder, in fact, the people in the state government don't know the details of the battle, it's okay, it's okay."

Zhu Hao said with a smile: "People outside who don't know the inside story don't think so, they think that the government controls the overall situation... People in the palace will not take the initiative to spread such news deliberately."

"Who are you talking about? Yuan Changshi?"

Tang Yin smiled lightly, "Even if Yuan Changshi has prejudice against me, he will not sell the palace for his own benefit, not to mention he doesn't know how you make new gunpowder...Zhu Hao, let me remind you, Su Dongzhu will Come with Xinzhizhou, don't reveal the recipe to him for money."

Zhu Hao glanced at Tang Yin, how could you think of this level?
How could I sell the formula of new gunpowder to Su Xigui for profit?But in a way... maybe it's possible.

Who told me that I had the experience of selling Su Xigui's secret recipe for sun-dried salt?But it involves people's livelihood, and this new gunpowder is an epoch-making military innovation. Can I tell the difference?

"thanks for reminding!"

Zhu Hao said casually, but did not express exactly whether he really intended to sell the formula of the new gunpowder.

Let Tang Yin guess by himself.

……

……

In the last two rounds of the government examination, the Confucianism Administration gave the questions, which were not so important for admission.

Many candidates who have passed the government examination in the past can also apply to take the exam, which is equivalent to a centralized assessment of local scholars by the State Confucianism Administration. After all, these candidates who have passed the government examination are not eligible to enter the state to study, and they cherish this opportunity very much.

But Zhu Hao still chose not to participate.

The test was only something other than the Four Books, and it was not difficult for him, so he gave up because he was busy recently.

The steam engine is still being studied, and it is not going well... Plus, Tang Yin has to accompany Wang Shouren to dismiss Wang Shouren, and prepare to receive Su Xigui... I can only put aside my studies for the time being, after all, the college exam will not be available until the middle of the [-]th year of Zhengde conduct.

As expected by Prince Xing's Mansion, Zhang Yezheng and Su Xigui, the new magistrates, arrived at the border of Anlu on March [-]. Wang Shouren had already made a plan. After meeting Zhang Yezheng, he left the next day. Tang Yin accompanied him in the city Greeting Zhang Yezheng and his party at the door, they didn't want to wait for an hour, so they only waited for Su Xigui and the new Changshou county magistrate He Zhu.

With Wang Shouren's position as governor, to welcome a county magistrate was obviously unequal in status, so He Zhu just bowed and left after paying enough respects, but Su Xigui stayed cheeky and tried to build a relationship with Wang Shouren.

Tang Yin introduced: "This Su Dongzhu is the brother-in-law of Huang Fantai in this province, and he is a businessman in Jiangnan and Jiangbei."

"Huang Fantai? Could it be that Huang Zan, Huang Zongxian, the governor of Huguang?" Only then did Wang Shouren know that this seemingly ignorant businessman had such a strong background.

Tang Yin nodded: "Exactly."

Huang Zan was very famous when he was governing Jiangxi. The main reason was that he was at odds with Prince Ning’s mansion, and he continued to impeach King Ning. Now Wang Shouren is an official in Jiangxi and is responsible for suppressing local bandits. If there is a brother-in-law Huang Zan to help , or have a certain effect.

"In addition, Huang Fantai will be transferred to the capital soon, as the servant of the household department." Tang Yin said this directly.

Wang Shouren couldn't help frowning.

Can this kind of thing be known in advance?
Although Wang Shouren has been an official for [-] years, he is very resistant to the party and dissidents in the officialdom, so he naturally doesn't care who will be the servant of the household department in the future, and Wang Shouren himself has a strong background. There is no need to worry about such things.

"If Wang Zhongcheng needs to use me for anything, just let me know. I have some contacts in Jiangxi, which involves money and food scheduling... I should be able to do my best."

Su Xigui knew that Wang Shouren had a good reputation, and now that Wang Shouren wanted to pacify the bandits in Jiangxi, it would be helpful for him to do business, so he naturally wanted to establish a good relationship.

Tang Yin asked: "Su Dongzhu, didn't you say that the new Anlu Zhang Zhizhou came with you? Why didn't you see anyone else?"

Su Xigui smiled and said, "That's right. This Zhang Zhizhou is a disciple of Old Shangshu from the local area. When he comes to Anlu this time, he naturally has to visit his teacher first."

Wang Shouren was very displeased when he heard the words.

You Zhang Yezheng, you just took office as a local magistrate, and if you don’t do anything else, first think about making friends with local dignitaries?Zuoshi does not mean a personal teacher, but an examiner who took part in the imperial examinations, mostly as a result of putting money on his face and forming cliques.

Wang Shouren also knew that Old Shangshu Sun was the famous Anlu official, Sun Jiao, the former household minister who returned to his hometown in the eighth year of Zhengde.

"Bo'an, what should I say? Should I continue to wait, or go back first?"

Tang Yin looked at Wang Shouren with a smile.

Wang Shouren shook his head: "Don't wait, since Zhang Zhizhou has not arrived, I can only go back to the post to make preparations, and then ask Xing Wang's mansion to send people to help escort the prisoners, and there will be soldiers and horses to meet them when we arrive at the border of Jiangxi..."

After all, Wang Shouren is the governor of southern Jiangxi. This time he went to Huguang and brought more than [-] soldiers and horses to fight the bandits. After hearing that the Anlu area had successfully wiped out the bandits, he commanded the army to retreat overnight and returned to Jiujiang by boat. Because he didn't want to be honest, he brought a guard of [-] people to Anlu himself.

Now it is necessary to escort nearly five hundred thieves and prisoners at once, and it is obvious that his manpower is not enough.

Before, he didn't want to bother Prince Xing's Mansion, but wanted to use the local guards and inspection department to help him. Now seeing that the new Anlu Magistrate didn't take him seriously, he could only settle for the next best thing and ask Prince Xing's Mansion to help.

"Then after I go back, I will ask King Xing."

Tang Yin readily agreed that he would apply, but did not say that he would definitely be approved, but Xing Wangfu should not stand idly by in this kind of matter.

……

……

Wang Shouren went back to the post house first.

Tang Yin looked leisurely, and took the same carriage with Zhu Hao, but he didn't intend to return to the palace immediately.

Xing Wang's Mansion had previously proposed to assist Wang Shouren in escorting the captives back to Jiangxi, but he refused. Now that Wang Shouren is suffering from the state government, Tang Yin feels relieved.

Let you, Wang Bo'an, keep putting on a show in front of me, and now I know that you, the governor, are just a decoration, not as good as a retired household secretary.

"Mr. Tang, you seem to be very happy. Did you see Dongzhu Su coming and plan to get some money from him?" Zhu Hao asked.

Tang Yin didn't even look at Zhu Hao: "You boy, don't judge others by yourself, what is money to me?"

Zhu Hao nodded.

This guy is also stubborn, he can only say that with a high salary in the Xingwang Mansion, but I know how poor you are in history, so don't try to pretend to be noble with me.

"It seems that before Wang Zhongcheng leaves tomorrow, he will search again from you to see if he can find any loopholes and let you tell about the gunpowder." Zhu Hao said.

Tang Yin patted his chest: "Don't worry, I won't say anything."

While talking, the carriage suddenly braked suddenly, Tang Yin couldn't sit still and fell on the wall of the carriage, and then he opened the curtain: "What's going on?"

Zhu Hao's side is small and he has been holding the transom with his hand, so it's nothing.

Lu Song, who was driving in front, expressed apologetic expression: "Forgive me, sir, a group of monks suddenly appeared ahead for some reason, and they seemed to be heading towards Baoen Temple."

"Oh?"

Tang Yin looked it over carefully.

Sure enough, a group of monks came out from the crowd. If they were just monks, it would be nothing. However, there are not a few Buddhist believers these days. Song could only rein in the horse and make an emergency stop to avoid these people.

Zhu Hao glanced at it, thoughtfully: "It's not an ordinary monk, but a fan monk on the southwestern plateau."

Tang Yin looked sideways at Zhu Hao: "You know all of this?"

Zhu Hao smiled: "I have seen their attire in the book. It is possible that they are monks who went north to the capital and temporarily rested in temples in this state. How do ordinary people know this? If there is a Buddha, worship!"

"Do you believe in Buddhism?"

Tang Yin was even more puzzled.

This kid talks one after another, where did he hear it at such a young age?
Zhu Hao shook his head frankly: "I don't trust anyone except myself."

"Haha."

Tang Yin couldn't help but smile.

The carriage continued to move forward, and vaguely saw the figure of a Taoist priest. It seemed that two groups of people went north together, passing through Anlu, but at the moment when the new governor of Anlu arrived, Zhu Hao thought it was a bit interesting.

Lu Song mentioned inadvertently: "Yesterday, I had a drink with Uncle Jiang, and vaguely heard him say that this new magistrate has a lot of background in the court."

Tang Yin shook his head: "I've never heard of his name before."

"like……"

Lu Song recalled carefully, "Maybe it's because they are very close to some people who are in power in the court..."

The people in power in the DPRK and China in his mouth are naturally not civil servants, but courtiers like Jiang Bin and Qian Ning.

Tang Yin nodded slightly, thinking about the joints involved.

Zhu Hao understood something.

The emperor didn't care much about Anlu's affairs, but the queen mother, Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and others felt that Xingwang's mansion has been getting a lot of limelight recently, and the best way is to put cronies over to suppress the limelight of Xingwang's mansion.

Before his uncle Zhu Wanhong was dispatched back to Anlu, he had this consideration in mind.

Now come to Zhang Yezheng...

If it is said that Zhang Yezheng belongs to the faction of courtiers, then it explains clearly why Taoist priests and foreign monks happened to pass by here when he came to Anlu, because the current emperor Zhu Houzhao is very keen on Taoism and Buddhism. Playful, surrounded by a bunch of eminent monks and half-immortals.

Zhang Yezheng would probably drop by to help people like Jiang Bin and Qian Ning receive these religious figures who went north to the capital to entertain the emperor.

Zhu Hao and Tang Yin couldn't help but look at each other.

Thinking of airborne Jiang Bin, Qian Ning and other treacherous magistrates sent to Anlu to deal with Xing Wang's mansion, those who advise Xing Wang's mansion naturally feel a headache.
