Prosecutor Feng nodded solemnly and said, "My nephew only has these two requirements. Please inform the magistrate of the prefecture that I am willing to work hard to manage and unblock the Nanjiaolai River?"

Chen Suo coughed and replied cautiously: "Feng Xian is a good deed that benefited the people of the countryside. I was amazed and naturally supported it with all my strength. I will report this matter to the Ming court as soon as possible to help my nephew restore and manage the Jiaolai River."

Feng Jian was overjoyed. Since Chen Suwen agreed to support himself in the management of Jiaolai River, it means that Chen Suwen was sure to let the court agree to his governance of the Nanjiaolai River. The thing he thought was the most difficult to accomplish was so smooth, which was really beyond Feng Jian's expectations!

As long as the water transportation of the Nanjiaolai River is opened within one or two years, even if Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers come to harass him, Zhenshan Camp can attack Kong Youde's rebellious soldiers from water and land, and double-team them on both sides of water and land, so that their plans cannot succeed.

In fact, most of what Feng Jian did now was to prepare for the chaos in Kong Youde's military two years later, including the management and unblocking of the Nanjiaolai River.

As long as I, Feng Jian, are in Pingdu City and the people in Pingdu City, they will not be ravaged by the rebels, Feng Jian secretly vowed.

In addition, the Nanjiaolai River was opened, and the large amount of grain and food produced by Huluyan had a waterway for external transportation. This was another purpose of Feng Jian's efforts to clear the Nanjiaolai River.

Feng Jian bowed with both hands and said again: "If you can get the support of the magistrate, I, Huluyan, will do my best to start dredging and management as soon as possible. But after the Jiaolai River resumes shipping, can the government allow me, Huluyan to use Jiaolai River to transport goods free of charge, and allow Huluyan to set up checkpoints on the river to collect taxes and fees for ships to deduct Huluyan's management dredging costs."

Chen Suwen put away the excitement on his face and frowned slightly, "Of course, there is no big problem for your Huluyan ships to travel to Jiaolai River for free, but it is not feasible to set up a card to collect taxes on the river. Setting up a card to collect taxes is the right of the court, and this official cannot make the decision."

While talking, he stroked his beard and observed Feng Jian's face change. Seeing that Feng Jian seemed impatient, he immediately changed his words: "However, if he can get the benefits of important officials of the court, he will convert the tax collection to return the principal to clear the river silt, which is not without hope.

What Chen heard meant was that if the Feng family was willing to spend money to manage important officials of the court, they could also get the charges for setting up a card on the Jiaolai River where shipping was resumed.

Prosecutor Feng pondered for a while and said, "From the management and clearance of rivers to dealing with the imperial court, my nephew is completely a layman, so he wanted to ask the magistrate to ask the magistrate. The magistrate was only responsible for providing silver. As for the management and clearance of rivers and the handling of ministers in the court, I completely entrust the magistrate to the magistrate. I wonder what the magistrate wanted?"

Chen Suo Wen Fu Xu smiled and said, "I am making things difficult for me. I am saying that I am busy with official duties and it is difficult to concentrate on this matter. Forget it, since you, a civilian can do such good deeds, I will naturally not fall behind, so I will reluctantly be in charge of this matter. I will report to the Ming court as soon as possible to quickly start the governance and clear the river. My nephew only needs to prepare enough silver!"

Feng Jian said: "How much silver is expected to be spent by sir, and how long does it take to clear it?"

Chen Suwen closed his eyes and thought, "If we only manage and unblock the Nanjiaolai River, we will probably have 50,000 taels of silver in the foot of the mountain to prepare for unblocking the silver. We will take advantage of the dry season to unblock it. This official estimated that the construction will be completed in the autumn of the next year. At that time, the Nanjiaolai River will be connected to Jiaozhou Bay, and the prosperous scene of sea and land transportation will be reproduced." As he said that, he looked yearning on his face.

Cheng Yousheng and Pan Zhaoying witnessed the whole process of Feng Jian and Chen Suwen, an old man and a young man, and their performances were different.

In Cheng Yousheng's eyes, the commander-in-chief dealing with the old fox Chen Suwen made Chen Suwen willingly serve weapons and weapons for Zhenshan Camp, so that the counterfeit village could freely buy and sell the iron and agricultural tools they needed in urgent need... Cheng Yousheng felt a sense of awe and impressedness to the commander-in-chief Feng Jian from the bottom of his heart.

Although Pan Zhaoying didn't say a word during the meal, he kept sighing. From beginning to end, he felt that it was not Chen Suwen who was calculating the commander, but the commander took advantage of Chen Suwen's urgent need to control the disaster of the bandits in Daze Mountain. The lion opened his mouth and achieved the goal he wanted without spending a penny. The commander's business was really amazing!

This incident had a huge impact on Pan Zhaoying, and he used the method of playing hard to get in the future.

During the meal, he felt that he was about to gain great benefits from Feng Jian. Chen Suwen put down his value and toasted Feng Jian repeatedly. In his eyes, Feng Jian will have a huge boost on his career in the future, so he must not neglect it.

After nearly an hour of a banquet, Feng Jian and the other two were going to Xishi Street to meet Fan Li Baofeng and others, and the guests and the host and guests all parted.

Chen heard that Chen Fu was arranged for Chen Fu to follow Feng Jian and the other two to meet his subordinates at the gathering of Inns in West Cross Street. He didn't care about drinking and ordered the people around him to go to the front office to invite several aides to the back hall.

He had to discuss with all his staff overnight about Feng Jian and other bandits of Daze Mountain to accept the court's recruitment and repair and unblock the Jiaolai River. He wrote a memorial to the court. Of course, if more than 10,000 bandits in Huluyan surrender to the court, he must report to the governor of Denglai. He and the two immediate superiors of Laizhou Prefecture, naturally he could not take the credit by himself, and his superiors and colleagues would definitely have to share the benefits.

Several aides rushed to the back hall. After the servants had served tea, Chen Suwen told the main story to the aides. The several aides naturally had no objection to the wise and decisive decision of the prefect. Soon, a best-written aide wrote two memorials to the face of Chen Suwen.

Chen Suwen picked up a copy and opened it and saw it written on it: "On the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month of the third year, under the rule of the governor of Denglai, Chen Suwenjie, the minister of the Laizhou Prefecture Pingdu Prefecture, said: "Under the rule of me, bandits and bandits gathered in the mountains, gradually becoming a climate, and it was a great disaster for the villagers. The former recruited troops several times, but the bandits were cunning, and suddenly went east and west, and in the evening, causing the labor force to mobilize all the people and return without success. Now, when I was in office, the governor of Denglai, the prefect of Laizhou, and other officials of Laizhou were ordered to suppress the sanctions and pacifications.

The strategy was used, and after many times, I was persuaded by the ministers, and I explained the great righteousness. The bandits in Huluyan repented and decided to turn the wrong and return to the right... There were more than 20,000 bandits, whose leader Feng, named Feng, was deeply aware that the emperor was in power and the world was close to him, let alone the small bandits... When the bandits surrendered, the rest of the bandits would definitely follow the examples, and the disaster would be eliminated from then on... The ministers and others worked together to chase and suppress the remaining bandits, and refused to let the remaining bandits escape the law... This all relies on the blessing of the emperor's common heaven.

After reading it, Chen pointed out several inappropriate points and asked the staff to modify and polish it. Another memorial on the governance and clearing of Jiaolai River was also handled in the same way, and then asked the staff to write it clearly and issue it immediately.

...

Feng Jian and the other two were accompanied by Chen Fu. After a little inquiry, Zhixiao learned that Chen Huan, Fan Li, Bao Feng and others stayed in an inn called "Yunfeng" on the South Street.

Chen Fu led Feng Jian and the other two to Yunfeng Inn, the sharp-eyed shopkeeper found out and came up with a smile.

Just as he was about to greet him, he suddenly found that the person who led the way was Chen Fu, the butler of the magistrate Chen family, who seemed very enthusiastic to the young man behind him.

Those who open inns pay attention to vicious eyes, quick hands and feet, and smart reactions. The shopkeeper immediately realized that the identity of the people who followed Chen Fu was not simple.

So he greeted him more carefully: "Oh, Mr. Chen is here. The store is so bright and bright. Please invite me in the store!"

As he said that, he bowed and made a call, Chen Fu glanced at Feng Jian with some pride and said, "The shopkeeper doesn't have to bother. I'm accompanying several distinguished guests to find someone. Is there a fleet of cars staying in this inn in the evening?"

The shopkeeper said without thinking: "Yes, in the evening there were more than ten carriages, and more than twenty people stayed in this inn."

Cheng Yousheng left the prefectural office and recovered from his talkative habits. He interrupted and asked, "The convoy lives in that yard, take us to meet."

The shopkeeper of Yunfeng Inn looked at Cheng Yousheng in surprise, bowed slightly, and turned his eyes to Chen Fu, as if he was asking.

Chen Fuluo frowned and said, "The people who stayed in the convoy were the companions of these distinguished guests. Now come here to meet up, just take everyone there."

The shopkeeper of Yunfeng Inn quickly bowed and said, "Please come with the villain, they rent a house in the East Cross Courtyard."

Chen Fu stopped and said to Feng Jian: "Since you have found your people, I won't disturb you. Brother Feng has something to do and ask him to the prefect of the prefecture. Chen Fu is always waiting."

Feng Jian also stopped walking: "Thank you, butler Chen, for seeing you off. It's not too late to go into the inn for a cup of tea before leaving!"

"No, I have to go back and report to the magistrate and say goodbye!"

Feng Jian watched Chen Fu leave Yunfeng Inn. He saw the inn shopkeeper's face full of flattery and knew that it was probably because of Chen Fu. Feng Jian turned around and smiled at the shopkeeper and said, "Please lead the way!"

The shopkeeper quickly nodded and led the way in front, passed through the lobby and led Feng Jian and the other two into the inn east crossing the courtyard.

This East Cross Courtyard is a reading courtyard. When you step into the courtyard gate, more than a dozen carriages from Huluyan are neatly placed on the inside of the courtyard. Two soldiers from Zhenshan Camp stood beside the carriage, not to mention the goods guarding the carriage. The horses pulling the carriage have been unloaded from the shaft and taken to the special stables of the inn to eat and rest.

Feng Jian and others entered the east crossing the courtyard and immediately alarmed the people in the courtyard. Chen Huan, Fan Li and Bao Feng walked out of the courtyard hall directly. Then the light in the courtyard was clearly visible that Feng Jian and the other three came back and quickly came forward.

Seeing that the three of them had made appropriate arrangements for everything, Feng Jian was also satisfied with Chen Huan, so he waved directly: "What do you mean to go to the house!"

The shopkeeper of Yunfeng Inn said on the side: "This distinguished guest has already met with his companions, so the villain left. If you have any questions, just ask the servant who serves outside the door to directly ask the servant who serves outside."

After the shopkeeper left the East Crossing Courtyard, Prosecutor Feng asked Fan Li: "Are there any unexpected situations when I went to this inn to stay in the hotel?"

Fan Li quickly said: "No, the villain found out that this inn is large and can accommodate Huluyan and a group of cars and horses, so he stayed with the inn. After settling down, the villain immediately sent someone to the Pingdu Office to inquire about the news about the commander and Brother Cheng, but found nothing. The villain was still worried about the commander, but you were back!"
