Chapter 121: Visitors from Wuzhou City



"Did Master Pei tell me about this person's background?"

Zhao Muyun smiled faintly.

The reason why he involved Pei Lun in everything was that he wanted to tell Pei Lun through Pei Liao that everyone was in the same boat now, and the court sent someone to serve as Zhao Muyun's deputy general, who was actually supervising Pei Lun.

Then, Pei Lun should know about this situation.

Especially when it comes to salt, adequate countermeasures must be taken.

After all, a shed for purifying fine salt has been set up in Yinzhou City, and thousands of people are working here in full swing.

Any normal person can see what's going on, unless the new captain is blind.

"I just received the news from you, my Lord." Pei Liao wiped his sweat, "This brave and resolute commander is also a member of the imperial family."

"Royal relatives?"

Zhao Muyun was immediately overwhelmed when he heard this. "Such a great god must be living a life of luxury. Why would he come to the bitter cold of the northern frontier?"

"If he does this, will we still be able to get salt? Lord Pei's wish to seek benefits for the soldiers in Hedong Road, can it still be realized?"

Seeing Zhao Muyun's excitement, Pei Liao hurriedly advised, "Master Zhao, please don't worry. Master Pei is using his connections in the court to prevent this gentleman from coming!"

"That's good to know! If he really comes to our Hedong Road, and directly faces the Tartar's Yinzhou, if anything goes wrong, we will be in trouble!" Zhao Muyun shook his head.

Dayin has been established for two hundred years. The royal descendants are spread all over Dayin, and the number of direct relatives has reached as many as 100,000.

These royal relatives were granted large amounts of land across the country and enjoyed salaries from the court. They had privileges but did not pay taxes. They were like leeches of Dayin.

According to Dayin's laws, they could only enjoy wealth and do business, but they could not participate in political affairs, let alone get involved in the military.

The brave and resolute captain from the royal family who was sent here has obviously violated the laws of Dayin. Logically, this situation should not have happened.

But there are members of the royal family who do this, which means that the Dayin court may have loosened its control over the royal family, or that this member of the royal family has a special status, which is why the current Dayin emperor gave him the green light and the ministers in the court turned a blind eye.

"Of course, Master Pei is also quite troubled. He can't afford to offend him, nor can he afford to support him!"

Pei Liao sighed, "Of all the places in the world, he chose Hedong Road instead of choosing one. And of all the prefectures in Hedong Road, he chose Yinzhou instead of choosing one."

Don't worry about things that haven't happened yet.

Zhao Muyun thought about it and soon felt relieved.

Even if the sky falls, Pei Lun is still there to hold it up!

"It might be because I asked Lord Pei to seize Yinzhou from Guannei Road that it attracted the attention of the court! There is no point in saying so much now. We can only take it one step at a time!"

He talked with Pei Liao for a while, and after he left, his brother Zhao Pu came again!

"Lord Zhao...Lord Zhao!" Zhao Pu stuttered.

"Brother, we are the only two brothers here. Don't call me that. It seems a bit weird." Zhao Muyun hurriedly pulled Zhao Pu in and sat down.

He had no qualms about letting his second uncle Zhao Wen serve as the assistant military officer of the Household Department of Zhechoufu, and his elder brother Zhao Pu as the assistant military officer of the Ministry of Agriculture, just because they followed my tyranny in my territory.

Anyway, the land of Yinzhou has been demolished and rebuilt, and Zhao Muyun has reached a tacit understanding with Pei Lun that Hedong Road will not be involved in the appointment of Zhao Muyun's officials.

The officials and army of Yinzhou Prefecture were all appointed by Zhao Muyun himself.

Therefore, Zhao Wen and Zhao Pu were appointed as provincial officials.

However, these appointments only remained in Hedong Road, and would definitely not be approved if reported to the imperial court.

After all, except for Zhao Muyun, Tang Yanhai, Wang Tiezhu, Han Zhong and others, the rest of the officials appointed by the court were not registered in the Ministry of Personnel.

These are no longer important.

What Zhao Muyun wants is someone who will absolutely obey him so that this territory caught in the middle can survive.

"Xiao Yun, you are the highest official in the prefecture after all. You must maintain your dignity at all times." Zhao Pu looked at his brother and became more and more happy.

Their Zhao family produced a figure like Zhao Muyun, which allowed Zhao Wen and Zhao Pu, two people who had no chance of entering officialdom in their lives, to suddenly become officials.

"Majesty is for outsiders, we don't need it for our own family!"

Zhao Muyun smiled and said, "Brother, how is the sowing going on in the farmland outside the city? Is there anything you need me to coordinate?"

"The seeds are ready, but we don't have enough manpower. I would like to discuss with you when to sow them." Zhao Pu replied.

"I can let the soldiers trained by Han Zhong stop and concentrate on spring sowing in one or two days." Zhao Muyun said immediately.

"I was planning to borrow people from you in the same way. After all, you are the boss here, so I must talk to you first to discuss the arrangements." Zhao Pu said honestly.

"So, is this settled?" Zhao Muyun nodded. "Is Mom used to living here?"

"She is now the mother of the Commandant. How could Madam Zhao get used to it so quickly? She keeps clamoring to go back to Zhao Village."

Zhao Pu's face suddenly darkened. "You've become a high-ranking official, so we should be happy and fully support you."

"But apart from my second uncle, I'm not cut out to be an official."

"I've discussed this with Mother for a long time. After the spring planting, we'll return to Zhaojiazhuang so we don't hold you back here. I'll take care of Mother. You just focus on defending our country and don't be distracted."

"ah!"

Zhao Muyun was stunned.

He asked his mother and elder brother to come to Yinzhou with him, hoping that he could take care of them.
