Chapter 352: Coincidental Encounter at the Station

The postman hurried to pick it up, but the time was not long, so he brought a few newspapers and the newspapers of the Ming Forum.

Mao Wenlong casually looked through the date and shook his head gently. Fortunately, the "Ming Dynasty Forum" came from half a month ago.

Moreover, he has seen these copies at the last station.

The iron stove was burning hot, Gou Zhenhuai had already taken off his coat and was sitting on the kang and drinking tea. He saw Mao Wenlong flip through the newspaper and throw it down, and he knew what was going on.

"If you want to read a new newspaper, it's better to go to the hotel next to you." Gou Zhenhuai smoked a cigarette and said, "The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is doing a good job. There are many merchants from all over the country. Even if there is no newspaper, you can hear a lot of new news."

Although Mao Wenlong thought it made sense, he did not plan to go there. It was not that he had to live in a free inn with slightly worse conditions, but that he did not want to encounter any trouble.

At this moment, another mixed voice came from outside. A postman came in to bring food and water. Gou Zhenhuai asked casually and found out that it was an official who came to Liaodong to take office from the capital.

"But after the New Year, I rushed to the post. I should be a good official." Gou Zhenhuai praised, got off the kang and put on his shoes, and said, "I'll go and have a look. I know my name and name, so it will be easier to get along with each other in the future."

Gou Zhenhuai didn't know what to do after going to Beijing this time, so he might even send him back to Liaodong. He had to wait for a while for dinner, so it would be better to take a look.

When he pushed open the door and came to the courtyard, Gou Zhenhuai found that it was not one official who came to Liaodong, but several.

Chen Zilong also saw a general walking out of the house, seeing that his clothes were not low, and he was about to say hello, but Gou Zhenhuai had already bowed to the ceremony.

"Everyone is polite." Gou Zhenhuai smiled with a harmless sign.

"General is polite." Chen Zilong hurriedly returned the gift, and the other officials bowed.

Gou Zhenhuai introduced himself, and the title of deputy general of Dongjiang Town surprised Chen Zilong and others.

"It turns out that it is General Gou, who has been admired for a long time." Chen Zilong bowed and said, "The lower-ranking official Chen Zilong is the new member of the Left Political Consultative Officer of Liaodong."

The rank of the left political sect is not low. Although the emperor has been constantly elevating the status of a martial artist, the thinking of the noble and the inferior martial artists is not easy to change.

Gou Zhenhuai quickly bowed and said humbly, "It turned out to be Lord Chen, and I'm lucky to meet him. I returned to Beijing to report the orders. I wanted to learn more about the capital. After hearing the postman's talk, I came to inquire. He was very presumptuous and asked Lord Chen not to be surprised."

Chen Zilong smiled and waved his hand, saying, "General Gou is welcome."

Gou Zhenhuai reached out to invite him and said, "We have just arrived at the post station and the food has not yet arrived. It is better to meet him by chance than to invite him. If Lord Chen and others do not dislike him, can you please the face?"

"This--" Chen Zilong glanced at Wang Jizhong who came with him.

Wang Jizhong was also a free and easy person. He nodded and said, "It is a blessing for me to be able to sit and drink with the soldiers of Ping Liao."

"Please, please, please, everyone." Gou Zhenhuai became more enthusiastic and let Chen Zilong, Wang Jizhong and others into the house.

Mao Wenlong had just finished washing up, but he saw the door open. Gou Zhenhuai invited several officials in, and he was a little surprised.

"This is the general of Dongjiang Town, Mao Wenlong and Mao Sir." Gou Zhen took a step forward and introduced everyone.

Chen Zilong and others were shocked again and bowed to the court, "The Xiaguan and others have met Mao Shuai."

"This is the new member of the Liaodong Left Political Consultative Officer Chen, this--" Gou Zhenhuai introduced Chen Zilong, but did not know the other person's name and position.

Chen Zilong hurriedly introduced Mao Wenlong one by one, saying that his official position was not high, but he added a special sentence when introducing it, and that Governor Wu carefully selected them and went to Liaodong to beat the front station.

Mao Wenlong did not dare to neglect. After the ceremony, the postmen also brought tables and chairs, arranged food, and went to the inn to buy good wine.

"Mr. Chen is the disciple of Master Xu?! A famous teacher will be a good disciple. Fortunately, I will be lucky to meet you." Mao Wenlong learned about it during the chat and immediately looked at him with admiration and raised his glass to signal.

Chen Zilong praised his good friend again and said that Wang Jizhong was from the Royal Academy of Sciences.

The emperor attached great importance to the reconstruction of Liaodong, and many officials were assigned by the emperor. Although Mao Wenlong was the commander of the town, he did not dare to underestimate these officials of low rank.

Gou Zhenhuai was a familiar person, chatting and interrupting, and the atmosphere gradually became lively, and everyone was no longer as unfamiliar as when they first met.

"Spring plowing is the top priority. Whether it can achieve self-sufficiency within one year and whether it can provide sufficient military supplies will be decided within the first two months of spring."

Chen Zilong raised his glass to toast Mao Wenlong and Gou Zhenhuai, and said, "The military camp depends entirely on the trouble of Mao and General Gou, and urged the dispatch."

This is a kind word, but it is also true. The army participated in spring plowing and gave appropriate rewards to officers and soldiers. The court has issued an edict, which is not surprising.

Mao Wenlong raised his glass to return and smiled and said, "The court has set the number of military camps, and Dongjiang Town ensures that it exceeds the amount."

The number of military camps was stipulated, and the emperor thought carefully. In this way, there was no need for local officials to deal with the army, so as not to make things unhappy.

Chen Zilong felt relieved, but still expressed his gratitude.

After drinking for three rounds, Gou Zhen brought the topic to what happened recently, of course, it was the capital.

In fact, Gou Zhenhuai was not really concerned. As the emperor's personal sect, he did a good job in Liaodong. He had both military achievements and had also kept Mao Wenlong under strict supervision.

Therefore, it was certain that the rewards he returned to the capital were given. But Mao Wenlong heard the news, so that Mao Wenlong would not be suspicious and worried about gains and losses along the way.

It is naturally good to be able to inquire, but it doesn’t matter if you can’t. Gou Zhenhuai has this idea.

"The Ming Tribune, it was released one issue before the New Year, almost ten days ago."

Chen Zilong turned his gaze to Wang Jizhong. When he saw Wang Ji's focus, he continued to say: "When the last issue of this year is released in 27, there will be a New Year speech on it."

Wang Jizhong added: "It will be like this every year from now on. Long live to wish the people of Daming New Year, which is the first time that I have never seen before."

"Long live, I am truly a benevolent king for all ages." Mao Wenlong bowed and said, "Practice benevolent and benefit all the people. He also surrenders to nobles to wish the subjects a happy New Year, which is admirable."

Chen Zilong also bowed to the south and said, "Longsui is also a wise king, and the rewards and punishments are clearly distinguished. When I left the capital, I heard from my master that Longsui would regain the reward for the title of Kaifeng, and my master would also be included."

Mao Wenlong's eyes lit up, and he immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart and asked: "Heror Xu is well-versed in ancient and modern times, proficient in Chinese and Western styles, and deserves his title."

"The master of the family wrote a memorial and would like to go to the palace to meet him on a date. Please take back the life." Chen Zizhuang smiled helplessly and said, "The title should be based on military merits, and the master of the family does not want to attract criticism."

The title of title for military merits is naturally a blessing for soldiers. Although they did adhere to this principle during the Hongwu and Yongle periods, they later went astray and became a dream that countless soldiers could only dream of extravagant hopes but were difficult to realize.

As long as he can reopen Fengjue, Mao Wenlong thinks he has great hope.

Even if he can't compete for Xiong Tingbi this year, Ping Liao's achievements will not be great. However, the system of "re-empty title" has been formed. As long as he stays in Liaodong, he will be able to get the title after destroying the slaves, right?
