Chapter 114 Obligations

Chen Mu never quite understood what it means to be down and be happy in the past. He knew the meaning of this word, but it has never been very real.

But this time he understood on the way back to Beiyang from the capital.

When he entered Beijing, he brought two military officers with him and followed Chen Ju all the way to the capital. When he returned, he still followed him with two military officers, but there was a group of fifteen people.

Four Hanlin people and one of the Ministry of Justice observed government affairs, five people had to make meritorious contributions, and accompanied the five soldiers of the Five City Military and Masjids, five Jinyi escorted them, and they had to be escorted to the Beiyang Military Mansion to finish the matter.

This kind of low eyebrows is about these ten escorted brocade and military soldiers, not about these five "prisoners" who have made meritorious contributions.

They were escorting the soldiers along the way, saying good things and serving them with good wine and food. Especially Zou Yuanbiao, as he walked, he was intrigued by Jing'er, and even drew a pair of paintings on the boat. When he was resting, he sent someone to deliver the paintings to Chen Mu. Chen Mu was both angry and funny. Do men regard this as a spring outing?

But the military soldiers respected these five gentlemen very much, at least more respectful to Chen Mu. Just because of his words in the court, Chen Mu played a complete villain in this storm.

If he is not compatible with human nature, does not know etiquette and law, and despises God's will, if he is not a high position and power, perhaps the people would have to think that he is a flatterer to the powerful.

Whether they were making trouble or not, Chen Mu didn't pay much attention to these five people along the way, and even walked in separate boats. Just eighteen people took two boats and walked together to Tianjin.

"The Grand Marshal is back for two days, so I can ask the students to wait."

The one who came to Tianjin Wei was waiting for Zhao Shizhen. He took a red-painted single-mass Dafu, intercepted Chen Mu's two small boats at the port and took everyone on the boat. Seeing Chen Mu was puzzled, he explained to Chen Mu as he walked: "This ship was recruited by Shandong Dusi. He ran through the canal transport in the past and also ran along the coast. Twenty-three ships were delivered in the same batch, of different sizes, fourteen sea ships, and the other six ships were sent to the shipyard for three months to renovate. The remaining three were one of them. The remaining two were too small and were not suitable for use. The military government retreated."

"It's just right to stay. In the future, we will go to Dagu to Tianjin Wei to transport those six ships. The three months will be enough to build six new ships."

Chen Mu said a little dissatisfiedly, and had already entered the state of issuing orders, saying: "The fourteen sea ships and the sea ships sent from Nanzhi and Fujian in the future are allocated Yang Fan's merchant fleet to transport goods from North Korea. If there is no problem, they will be incorporated into the military's grain and horse fleet."

"The time is about the same, but it can save labor and material money! Six new ships, 400 materials, are 14,922 workers, and the wages are 447 taels and 6 cents of silver. The ready-made ships and wood and canvas in Guangdong and Nanyang are shipped to Beiyang warehouses, and the cost is about 40 taels. If only the renovation is made, the six ships will be worth 140 taels."

At present, the Beiyang Shipyard has hired more than a thousand craftsmen and corvee craftsmen. The shipyard has only six thousand-material warships, and the labor force is far from saturated. Even if there are more new Dafu ships, it will not be a problem as long as the construction period is a little longer. In particular, a batch of ships are expected to be sent from Nanyang to Beijing, so it is relatively easier to build ships.

But from the perspective of cost, it is indeed cost-effective to transform and recruit blessing ships.

As the two were talking, Zhao Shizhen saw the first few Jinshis behind Chen Mu. He really let him see a fellow villager Shen Sixiao and said happily: "Jishan! Why are you taking a boat with the Grand Marshal?"

Chen Sixiao and Zhao Shizhen were not only fellow townsmen, but when they were promoted to Jinshi, Gao Gong wanted to recruit him as a subordinate official, but Chen Sixiao was resigned. Then, during the reign of Emperor Muzong, he was transferred to the local Panyu in Guangdong to be the county magistrate. Later, he joined the Ministry of Justice as the head of the Ministry of Justice. In fact, he was very close to most officials of the Nanyang faction.

It should be said that the five people have their own experiences, and they can also be divided into three groups. The memorial was first submitted by Wu Zhongxing and Zhao Yongxian. They were the most courageous and had a spirit of hating evil. They were both Zhang Juzheng's students. Especially after Wu Zhongxing gave the memorial, he specially took the deputy seal to find Zhang Juzheng for him to see, and told the teacher in person: I sue you, the students object to your love being taken.

Followed by Aimu and Chen Sixiao, who were Zhang Juzheng's fellow townsmen. They were very angry when they heard that Duoqing was about to be together, so they submitted a memorial together. After Wu and Zhao, they both took careful consideration.

I won’t talk about the last Zou Yuanbiao.

Chen Sixiao had already seen Zhao Shizhen, but she was embarrassed to say hello, not because she was guilty, but mainly because someone had conveyed Chen Mu's words to them in the court intact after going to court. Chen Sixiao had been thinking about Chen Mu's words for the past two days, and was said to lose all his face and was a little autistic.

He bowed to Zhao Shizhen listlessly without saying much.

In addition to the five people, Zou Yuanbiao was also interested in painting and drinking, the remaining four of them were trapped in deep self-doubt.

The ordinary people in the opposition only knew that Chen Mu was a big villain. He said that the five gentlemen were guilty, but these parties knew more about the ins and outs. For example, was Chen Mu right? Although his words were not respectful to the law, the truth was right.

But if Chen Mu is right, does it mean that he is wrong? They don’t think they are wrong, so who is wrong?

Therefore, even if you are sitting on a boat, Meditation and Filial Piety cannot raise the spirit of saying hello.

However, Zou Yuanbiao looked arrogant and ok since he was taken to the boat. Then he patted Chen Sixiao and others again and said with a smile: "Don't be so listless."

He cheered up the few people, then stepped forward and stood in front of Zhao Shizhen and bowed: "I am here at Zou Yuanbiao, who was a Jinshi, has been observing government affairs in the Ministry of Justice for three months. He is going to Yamoliga to take office. In the future, my colleagues will be courteous!"

Chen Mu didn't know where Zou Yuanbiao's full spirit came from. He curled his lips and introduced it angrily: "Zhao Changji, an aide to the Beiyang Military Office, has mastered several foreign languages, is proficient in calligraphy, translated and made weapons, and has a wide range of Beiyang and Nanyang. He can rank third in writing official documents."

"Oh, I've heard of your name! The sound of calligraphy is in the world, so I've been studying in the Imperial Academy!" Zou Yuanbiao not only knew this, but also knew that the poem fan mentioned by Zhao Shizhen could sell for hundreds of taels of silver. However, I didn't know if they liked it or not, so I simply said, "I didn't hear it again later. It turned out that I entered the shogunate!"

The fellow villager who said hello ignored him and suddenly jumped out to make Secretary Zhao a little confused. He smiled awkwardly and said hello, frowned at Chen Mu and asked, "Master, this..."

"The five gentlemen who impeached the elders of the Pavilion to seize love were probably beaten to death by the emperor, and they were 60 scepters. I think it would be a pity for young people to say a few words and beat them up and ruin their careers." Chen Mu spread his hands and said without shyness, saying, "Pack up them to Beiyang, the Ministry of Personnel has given him an official position, and wait for the fleet to go to sea to put them in North Asia Melica as the magistrate."
