"Gei, it's time to take medicine!"

Two maids stepped forward respectfully, one reported the blessings, and the other was holding a silver plate and jade bowl. Zhang Juzheng, who was looking through the document on the other side of the book desk, did not look up. You Qi, who was standing behind Zhang Juzheng, nodded. The maid took a few steps forward and placed the jade bowl on the coffee table next to the book desk.

"Songjiang Prefecture reported several times that the whip method in this place could not be implemented. What is the errand for the Songjiang Prefect? ​​Is the Nanjing Ministry of Revenue so lazy?"

Zhang Juzheng asked calmly, You Qi behind him was a little stunned, and bowed and whispered:

"Master, Xu family, it's Xu family..."

Zhang Juzhenggang looked up, but when he heard this, he shook his head, laughed and said:

"As the first month approaches, I really can't remember things."

Because in his study, Zhang Juzheng only had his head tied up. You Qi looked behind him, but found that Zhang Juzheng's originally black head was mixed with a lot of frost. He couldn't help but leaned closer and said:

"Master, you often talk about the way of civil and military affairs. You should be relaxed and relaxed. You should not be too tight or too loose. But you should be hardworking all day long, so you should also be careful of your health."

Zhang Juzheng turned his head and glanced, put down the document in his hand, and said with a smile:

"It's harder now. After next year, the money and grain collected from the One Whip Method will be enough for three years. The officials and civilians will use this method to cook it. If you loosen it, you will be... and drink medicine."

You Qi hurriedly walked to the coffee table, uncovered the lid on the jade bowl and placed it aside, put the silver spoon on the silver plate into the bowl, and handed it over with both hands.

Zhang Juzheng leaned on the back of the chair and breathed, and said:

"Today, these documents were given to Zhang Xueyan before dark, so that the Ministry of Revenue would calculate the number of this year as soon as possible. The Empress Dowager and His Majesty were in a hurry to read it."

"Why should you be so anxious? Even if you can't figure out the exact number, your great achievements are already something that everyone in the world sees... I have to report to the master that the eldest young master went to the Ministry of Personnel to ask for the position of the prefect of Luzhou Prefecture, and Li Youzi, the Ministry of Personnel, came to ask the master..."

Zhang Juzheng just picked up the silver spoon. When he heard this, he threw the spoon on the edge of the bowl and said coldly:

"What happened to him and Li Youzi refused this matter? Don't he know my hard work. How can I inherit my career in the future if I don't want to do it when I was young? You Qi, you are also ridiculous. As usual, you will take care of this matter. What will he do?!"

You Qi wiped his sweat, turned from behind to Zhang Juzheng, knelt on the ground and said:

"The young master must do, even the younger ones cannot..."

"Forget it, I'll say, you're doing your own duty!"

You Qi kowtowed in fear and fear. As the first confidant of Zhang Juzheng, he was seeking officials in the capital. Guan said that he would come to the cabinet assistant Zhang Juzheng through him. Because of this, You Qi had a large amount of money on the side of the money, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he would make money every day.

The eldest son of Zhang Juzheng wanted to interfere in this matter, which was equivalent to reducing You Qi's wealth. Naturally, he would not want to do so. Zhang Juzheng never wanted his children to get involved in the dirty affairs of the officialdom, so that their children could keep their hopes in the countryside, in the court and the country. This is also the hope that they can make achievements in the officialdom, which is to leverage their strength to fight. You Qi used Zhang Juzheng's side to block the road that others could take.

Speaking of his son, Zhang Juzheng would not say much. When he heard You Qi agree, Zhang Juzheng just nodded, picked up the jade bowl and took a sip. As soon as he sipped, Zhang Juzheng raised his eyebrows, tasted it for a few times, and said:

"Today's medicine is better than before."

After saying that, he raised his head and drank the medicine. You Qi took forward diligently, took the jade bowl back to the silver plate, brought it to the side, and said with a smile:

"This time I added some honey to the sea dogs sent from Shandong. It is said that boiling medicine like this can make the medicine more thorough."

Zhang Juzheng nodded, lowered his head and looked through the document in his hand again...

On the 24th day of the twelfth lunar month, it is the deadline for the yamen of various departments to seal the yamen for the New Year. A head of the Ministry of War was in trouble and hurried towards his home.

Walking through the corner of the street, he ran into the arms of the man who came towards him. Both of them staggered a few steps and almost fell down. When they got up, the chief came forward and said a few words to the other party. The man bowed and apologized, and trotted and left in a hurry.

Before the gate of the capital was closed, news was already sent out of the capital. Through the capital, we went to Tianjin Wei, and changed horses and rushed to change our horses along the way of Wangtong.

Now, there is an inn or car shop official road from the capital to Tianjin. Every thirty miles there is an inn or a large cart shop. If the fast horses are not stopped, the most urgent situation can be delivered to Tianjin.

On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, the troops under Tianjin Wei Wang Tong were lifted from their combat readiness. The capital heard news through the inside of the Ministry of War that the imperial guards would not go out to the frontier to perform martial arts this year.

Every exercise to go out of the frontier involves the preparation of logistics supplies, the concentration of various regiments, the mobilization of materials, and the conquest of civilians. These are all quite troublesome things. Preparations must be made in advance. Since the twelfth lunar month, the Huwei Army has entered a state of combat readiness and is ready to set off at any time.

For two consecutive years, the Huwei Army was recruited to go out to the frontier for exercises, and they fought with the Tartar cavalry on the grassland every time. There were dangers on the battlefield. If you want to keep it safe, you must be fully prepared.

However, mobilizing a large amount of supplies in this way and keeping troops ready at all times is twice as much as possible every day than under normal conditions.

Therefore, the most accurate information must be obtained from the capital and various yamen, and then Tianjin Wei will respond and deal with it as quickly as possible.

After the Huwei Army lifted the combat state, the Jinyiwei and the Security Army, which were responsible for the local Jinyiwei and the Security Army, also canceled the martial law. It was already the twelfth lunar month, and the Tianjin Wei, which had been tense for a long time, finally showed a festive atmosphere.

Shen Zhang and Shen Taiping moved into a house by the Weihai River in Tianjin. The names of Shen Zhang and Shen Taiping are very common, and after moving into a house, they are really not rare.

The house is considered a three-way house where only the best families can live. Shen Zhang is a young woman, Shen Taiping is a child who is still in his infancy, but he has more than a dozen maids and mothers to serve him, and there are servants and servants in the outside house to listen to the orders. Such a family makes people look like they are naturally wealthy, and the male owner is not here, which makes people even more interested in making decisions.

"There is an old lady coming to the house and ask Shen Zhang to believe in Maitreya and bless the mother and son with peace?"

Hearing Sun Dahai’s report, Wang Tong asked in surprise. Sun Dahai nodded, bowed and reported:

"Because the adults have given instructions, there are too many traces of guards. After all, Shen Zhen still wants to visit relatives and residents. The servants and servants are staring in the dark. There are also a few of their own people in the servants and servants. Our Tianjin Guards are keeping a close eye on the ground. The rascals have been cleaned up, and the liars dare not show their heads. However, we don't care much about the mother and nuns who go around the house. The day before yesterday, Shen Zhang bought cosmetics and invited a Shi Madam who went around to sell cosmetics. After the woman entered, she talked with Shen Zhang about what the child would have to do with three disasters and nine difficulties. If she believed in Maitreya, she would give some incense and silver every month to ask for a blessing for the child. Shen Zhang was already worried and heard this. She also made some promises to come to the house after the New Year and was ready to know the details."

It seemed like a sesame thing, but Wang Tong frowned when he heard it. When Sun Dahai saw Wang Tong's expression, he continued to talk carefully:

"There is a maid who is serving Chen Zhang in the inner house. There is a friend of the outside servant. The servant is quick-talking. After hearing this, we will tell everyone that when the person who is working there is a man who is here to hear the statement of Bai Maitreya, he remembers the instructions from the master and reports it quickly."

Wang Tong nodded and spoke in a solemn voice:

"White Lotus Maitreya, since the reign of Emperor Chengzu, has been in chaos, intermittently and tossing until now, the Lao Shizi's bastard Buddha worshipped by the Three Yang Sects is also inseparable from this, so it must be strictly investigated."

Sun Dahai nodded and answered:

"What the lord said is that my subordinates have already arranged someone to follow the Shi Ma, and there should be rewards today."

"Women cannot show up, but they didn't expect that these women can take advantage of loopholes to do evil. Women think narrowly and believe in God and Buddha. Once they believe it, they will be the most confused!!"

"Sir, Shi Pozi is from the Triangle Dian area. He sells fat and whitewashing. There are 30 people, walking around the streets and alleys, and interacting with the women in the city's decent houses."

Hearing Sun Dahai’s report, Wang Tong was stunned, stood up immediately, and asked in a solemn voice:

"Triangle Lake!!!"

Sun Dahai answered with affirmative answer again, Wang Tong punched the table with a heavy punch and shouted sternly:

"If the poor people gather in Triangle Lake, if there is a traitor, it will definitely lead to chaos. Immediately call up two groups of military generals with more than 100 households and the security army commander will come to my official!!"

When he was talking, the guards beside him were about to go out to pass the order. Sun Dahai rubbed his hands on his forehead and whispered:

"There are tens of thousands of households in Triangle Lake, and there are many people everywhere. There are too few people here, so we really can't take care of them and can't keep an eye on them all."

"It's not your fault. We are not able to work hard here, but we are careless and neglect to prevent it."

Wang Tong said in a stern voice.

"Maitreya came to the world. Those who believe in Maitreya avoid three disasters and nine difficulties, diligently accept incense, worship good thoughts, and will definitely be able to wait for the Pure Land!!"

More than a dozen mothers knelt respectfully and kowtowed. A middle-aged woman with a blue-faced face screamed loudly there. After hearing this, more than a dozen mothers recited the scriptures in unison, and were extremely respectful.
