Li Xingzhou is naturally not as familiar with many complex constitutions as De Gong.

Under the guidance of Duke De, he first brought the imperial edict to the Ministry of Personnel to register. The Ministry of Personnel had received the order from the Secretariat. Moreover, Li Xingzhou was famous and the prime minister of the current dynasty followed him, so naturally everything was unimpeded.

The officials quickly brought tea and water, and repeatedly promised that they would send the official seal to the royal palace at most tomorrow.

Li Xingzhou didn't care much, because the military weapon surveillance was not permanent, sometimes abolished, and sometimes it was activated. Moreover, the military weapon surveillance was not a high-ranking official. The advantage was that he could buy iron ore iron ingots now and could record the name of the military weapon surveillance in the Salt and Iron Society. It could be open and honest. No matter how much he bought it, it would not be the case that was almost deadly a few days ago.

After that, he also needed to write a thank-you form, submit it to the Secretariat, and hand over the black powder formula and grenade production technology to the old emperor. Even if he was a family, the emperor would do things without any loss.

The largest iron ore producing area of ​​Jingchao is Ningjiang Prefecture, Jiangzhou, and the prefect was Ajiao's father.

Li Xingzhou didn’t know how much Jiangzhou’s production capacity could support the entire Jingchao in the future, but the iron ore sellers must have an official background. After all, Jingchao still has controls in this regard, and ordinary merchants cannot sell a large amount of iron ore casually.

Moreover, graphite mines and coke are also what he needs. The so-called coke is actually a coal mine. Many people may misunderstand that coal can reach higher temperatures. In fact, this is wrong. Not to mention the many impurities of natural coal mines, even if the temperature is still not as good as refined charcoal after being refined.

Before entering the electrical age, it is very difficult to make steel with coal.

Therefore, Li Xingzhou needs coal to be used to refine crucibles with less temperature requirements. It is also used to make saltpeter. The advantage of coal is to better control the temperature and be more stable.

After leaving the Ministry of Personnel, Duke De still thought that he had concealed something about today in advance, so he was very dissatisfied. Li Xingzhou looked unfair. He really made a decision. In fact, he was very nervous when he bargained with the emperor...

Gong De was so angry that he didn't even go to his house and went home directly.

After they parted, Li Xingzhou thought about letting the chauffeur go to Zhenbao Pavilion to see the situation.

Li Xingzhou in Zhenbao Pavilion did not leave half of his own, so he gave Shiyu 1,500 taels of silver, and asked her to recruit people by herself, whether it was the receptionist, the front desk, or the guardian.

In fact, he was not worried about safety issues, because this location was very close to the Yuanfu yamen. Not only did others say that they were in Kaiyuanfu, but they were very famous among the yamen runners. As long as he explained it, everyone would shine on this side.

There are two types of trust that can have the most positive effect. One is to directly put on a distrust attitude and prevent and control it. The other is to unreserved trust, at least on the surface.

What you fear most is to have reserved trust, which will gradually spread suspicion and doubt, and then cause discord.

When he arrived, there were not many customers in the building, and two beautiful girls were guiding a noble lady to buy perfume.

Shiyu checked the account book at the counter. When he saw him coming, he was stunned for a moment, then quickly avoided it and pretended not to see it.

"Tsk tsk tsk, you are not qualified." Li Xingzhou walked over with a smirk: "I don't come out to greet the guests when they come."

"What are you doing? Didn't I say that we have nothing to do from now on."

"Why can't you come? This is my royal family." Li Xingzhou spread his hands and said.

Poetry is speechless, it is indeed the case.

.........

For some reason, every time she saw him Shiyu, she felt that she was weaker. She had never felt this way before. Even when she faced Concubine Tian or even saw the emperor, although she was a little nervous, she was not so.

The bastard's style of behavior made her unable to understand. He could hand over more than a thousand taels of silver and a store worth tens of thousands to himself, and he would not send his trusted subordinates at all. Even if he didn't even have half a supervisor, he was just... because he had sex with him? It was ridiculous that no one would surrender to his atrocities.

But on the other hand, he was cruel and harsh. Even the Hanlin Grand Secretary of the dynasty had beaten. Those scholars who offended his fiancée at the poetry meeting were cut off in one ear. The capital was talking about this all over the past few days, and it was simply a revenge!

Watching him approach, Shiyu subconsciously retreated, and then listened to him: "I am in a good mood today and I feel comfortable. I want to live here tonight."

Shiyu's heartbeats faster and he quickly retorted: "Don't think about it!"

"Don't be so heartless." He smiled, and handed her a bunch of things he had obtained in his hand: "Go up first and put these three imperial edicts."

Imperial edict! Shi Yu's mind was shocked and he understood that this matter should not be neglected. It was not the time to get angry. So he nodded, carefully put it in, then explained it a few words and went upstairs...

As a result, I was absent-minded and went to the third floor. When I turned around, I found that the bastard had followed the third floor.

The third floor is her boudoir, with narrow corridors.

"What are you doing to follow?" she said in a panic.

"I'm not sure to follow me and take a look. Besides, I'm going to come up with my stuff," he said with a wicked smile.

Shi Yu was angry and anxious, and knew that he had been plotted by this bastard. He was about to walk downstairs, but because the corridor was narrow, he couldn't go down at all. Facing his aggressive eyes, his heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and he hurriedly said, "You just need to go upstairs, don't do anything, otherwise I'll drive you down."

"Okay, okay, you have the final say..."

So he followed him into the room without any hesitation.

"Why are you pulling me?"

"I miss you, just hold hands and don't let me go back tonight."

"You...you can't go too far!"

"Why are you hugging me?"

"Just report it, not to stay there."

“…”

.........

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Mo Minyun, a clerk of the Secretariat, entered the Suzhou waters first under the care of twelve masters of the Wude Department.

Mo Minyun stood at the bow of the official ship, looking at the twelve Wudeshi soldiers who were protecting him with great energy, and couldn't help but feel sad. These soldiers were afraid that they would not know how lucky they would be to go there...

When the court issued an order to him, he knew that he had become an abandoned son this time.

Although he has a good reputation and is said to be an imperial envoy of the court, he is probably unable to go back. If the Suzhou people dare to assassinate the emperor, they must be prepared. The chances of his crimes being punished are only in case.

The court was just thinking of giving it a try, and the price of temptation was his life.

If he had known this, he would not have been involved in the Wei Chaoren case ignorantly. Now that Zhu Yue's clan has been destroyed and he will not be dead for a long time. This is a battle in the court officialdom. If one step is wrong, it will never be repatriated...

As the saying goes, a person is good at dying, and Mo Minyun doesn't want these twelve innocent soldiers to die.

Seeing the prosperous Suzhou River Ferry approaching, Mo Minyun turned around and said to Dutou, who led the team: "Zhao Dutou, it is already a perfect end to send me here. I will walk the next road by myself. Put down the boat and I will go alone. You can turn around quickly with the official boat to save your life."

Dutou was a military man, so he naturally didn't understand the mystery here and said seriously: "That's not true. How can we escort the adults by orders, how can we dereliction of duty?"

Mo Minyun shook his head: "Zhao Du's head listens to me. There is so much danger to go there. It is natural for us to die. I don't know how many orphans and widows will be added? You don't know the dangers of it, so you must listen to me."

Zhao Du also frowned and began to hesitate. At this time, the official boat was approaching. The ferry in the distance gradually became clear. The flags were waving on the shore. From afar, many people wearing government officials were waiting, as if they were waiting for the arrival of the imperial envoy.

"Sir, I think Suzhou officials are not looking forward to it, so how can there be any danger?" No one said in disbelief.

But Mo Minyun frowned and said unquestionably: "I am the chief official here, listen to me in everything. Put down the boat and let me go, and then you are ready to sail at any time."

This season, the wind direction is northeast. After sailing, you can quickly turn around and leave even if you countercurrent.

Seeing that he was so determined, Wude Department was not at all easy to say, so he asked someone to put down the emergency boat from the official boat. This boat could only take two or three people, and it was for emergency use. In some places in the river waterway, it was easy to hit the reef and hurt the boat. If the boat leaked, people with a valuable identity would have to leave first.

Mo Minyun clumsyly got on the boat under the support of the sergeant, took the emperor's imperial edict and accountability letter, and rowed himself to the ferry, while the official boat slowed down, stopped moving the slurry, and just drifted slowly along the water.

Mo Minyun was very nervous. From his perspective, he did see many Suzhou officials who were waiting for him. The entire ferry was full, and there were at least dozens of people. Could it be that Suzhou was really rebellious, but someone interfered...

With these questions and uneasiness, the boat kept waving with the waves on the river, and he also approached the ferry.

His vision became clearer and clearer, and he began to gradually see the expressions on the officials' faces, and they... had no expression on their faces.

Mo Minyun's pupils instantly tightened, and his heart almost stopped beating, but as the river drifted, he was only more than twenty steps away from the ferry...

He wanted to go back, but it was too late. Those dressed in the government suddenly threw out chains and hook claws, and many of them were lost. However, there were more than a dozen buckles on his boat. He quickly turned around and shouted at the boat with all his strength: "Show the sail, run quickly! Run!"

But the wind was strong on the river, and his voice could not be heard by the sergeant on the official boat. The boat was quickly pulled to the shore. He wanted to jump into the river, but he couldn't have water. At this time, everyone in the government squatted down, and behind them were covered in black soldiers, with hundreds of them!

"Bang bang bang..." The bowstring sounded, it was a powerful crossbow! Mo Minyun's mind was blank and he didn't know what was going on. He struggled to remove the hook claws on the side of the boat, but there were too many. The boat was quickly dragged to the river bank by more than a dozen men. He struggled but was powerless, and he was dragged onto the case by force...

The consciousness returned from his trance, and he discovered that everyone in the sergeant hiding behind him held a powerful crossbow. The crossbow arrows flew towards the official ship on the river. With the wind, the strong crossbow range was easily more than a hundred steps. However, because of his own reminder, the official ship had raised its sails in time and began to retreat, which was far from the shore. The crossbow arrows were not reaching at all, and most of them fell into the river one by one.

Mo Minyun was lying in the soil at the ferry entrance, covered in a mess, but laughed happily.

The officer leading the team was already angry because the crossbow arrow could not reach the official ship. He heard that he laughed so much, and then came over and stepped heavily on his face.

He also pulled out the imperial edict and accountability documents in his arms, and he took a look and threw them into the river.

Mo Minyun's face was so painful that she felt hot, her mouth was full of fishy and sweet smell, her head was buzzing, and she was exhausted, and she gradually lost consciousness...

.........

Zhao Dutou was observing the situation at the ferry because of Mo Minyun's reminder, and also asked his brother to climb onto the sails in advance according to the order. In fact, when the person wearing the official uniform suddenly threw out his hook claws, he immediately reacted and wanted to drive the boat to rescue.

But what stunned him was that there were more than a hundred powerful crossbowmen hidden behind him!

The ship was only about one hundred and fifty steps away from the ferry at this time! He was still drifting towards the ferry with the current, and he was almost desperate......

Fortunately, they had prepared in advance to save their lives. Several brothers had already prepared to sail. With just a few breaths, the official boat sailed all open. In an instant, with the powerful wind power, the first few stops, and the oars below were rowing, and gradually began to retreat.

A brother lying on the mast was unfortunately shot into the arrow and was directly loaded into the river and he didn't have time to rescue him. If he didn't leave, he was afraid that all of them would not be able to leave...

Thinking of this, Zhao Dutou couldn't help looking at Lord Mo who was pulled onto the desk by several people at the ferry entrance. If it weren't for him, I was afraid that everyone would not be able to survive, and I could not help but burst into tears.

...........

Mo Minyun woke up the next day and was already on a luxurious bed covered with soft bear skin mattress. The scratches on her back and elbows had been applied, and the bruises on her face had also disappeared a lot.

As soon as he woke up, he saw the girl serving beside him running out to report the news. Then a fully armed soldier came in and said, "My master is welcome."

Mo Minyun was injured all over, but he understood that he had no right to choose.

He endured the pain and wanted to wear shoes, but found that the front of his left foot was swollen and could not be worn. He probably struggled hard when he was dragged onto the case yesterday and broke his toes.

He simply shook off the shoes on his right foot and said barefootly: "Let's go, come and help me."

The sergeant was stunned and took two steps back unhappily.

"Is this your way to entertain guests in Suzhou?" He said disdainfully, limping and walking on his own.
