A drizzle was falling. At the side door of the Ye Ting Palace, the old eunuch guarding the door was the same one Wang Zheng knew, but he looked a little older.
"Little Wang Zhen, back then I asked you to fake your death and leave your master, so that you could come back and be a doorman. Have you ever regretted it over the years?"
The young man named Wang Zhen squatted on the threshold, looking at the rain outside. There was a trace of nostalgia, a trace of loss, and a trace of resentment in his eyes, which finally turned into relief.
"Mr. Wang is a celestial being, while Mr. Wang is a eunuch. The difference is like heaven and earth. Wang Zhen is lucky to have been able to follow Mr. Wang to study for more than two years. How can he dare to ask for more?
Even if he leaves the master's side, Wang Zhen will always have a share of the knowledge passed down by the elder brother. It is the same whether he is with the master or not. However, the Ye Ting Bureau cannot do without Wang Zhen, so the old ancestor does not need to mind it. "
"I'm glad you think so. It will make me feel better."
The old eunuch sighed and continued, "Back then, my Ye Ting Bureau invested in your master, which was a very profitable business, but because of this, my Ye Ting Bureau also incurred the hatred of others.
"What about the other three places, sir? Do you have any candidates in mind?"

Although the Emperor and the Empress wanted to help, they could not do it too obviously. After all, the concubines, princes and princesses could not just stand by and watch their people being bullied, and it would be troublesome if they went to the Emperor and the Empress to cry and complain.
The climate in Lingnan is hot, and rice can be harvested three times a year. Although the Northeast is cold, it has endless fertile black soil. There are also several large plains in the Western Regions with abundant sunshine, which is a good place to grow white radish.
"It's a deserted place."
In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has had an abundant amount of food, the population has gradually increased, and many mountains, forests, and lakes have been turned into fertile fields. This is actually not very good. It would be better to start from scratch and open up the barren lands.
Wang Zhen smiled casually, "Habits, distance, pace, as long as you know the data, you can naturally get the result. This little trick is not worth mentioning. The real way is to see through the essence of things."
Wang Zhen nodded and agreed, then asked, "The Yuzhou family withdrew from the imperial examination, and Jianzi successfully entered the court. Everything is within Brother Zhen's expectations. How do you think the gentleman will deal with it next?"
"If the hinterland can't accommodate our Yuzhou clan, then we can just go to the borderland. The territory of the Tang Dynasty is very large, why should we squeeze together with the aristocratic families?"
As soon as Wang Zhen finished speaking, an oil-paper umbrella appeared at the corner. The old eunuch narrowed his eyes, sighed and said, "I guess it's just like this to predict the unpredictable. You always get the accuracy right."
Sooner or later, people have to go out. Without the hard work of our ancestors, how could China have such a vast territory today?
Wang Zhen walked under the eaves, put away his oil-paper umbrella, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhen is too modest. Senior Brother was full of praise for Brother Zhen's ability, saying that among all the masters, Brother Zhen is the best. Brother Zhen's return to Chang'an made Senior Brother very sorry."
"That being said, everyone has their downtime. You should be more careful next time. Zhengzi can't afford any more losses."
Wang Zhen did not comment, but sighed and said, "I have told you many times that this rainy weather is the best time to attack secretly. It's not like the master hasn't sent guards to you. It will always be more reassuring if you take some people with you when you go out."
Wang Zhen ignored the old eunuch's sigh and muttered, "It's time to reach the town."
Even Zhu Guichen almost got caught, I really couldn't stand it any longer, so I had to transfer back all of you little guys who were sent to study with the steward, hoping that what you learned in those two years would be of great use.
The so-called border areas are not just Lingnan. The Northeast, the desert, and the Western Regions also need to be managed.
"Hehe, if it was somewhere else I would have paid attention to it. In Chang'an City, the petty thieves from your Ye Ting Bureau are spread all over the city. Why should you worry about my safety?"
Wang Zheng nodded with satisfaction, "You are very generous. In fact, no matter where you are, as long as there is sunlight, water and soil, things can grow. At the same time, no matter where you are, there are unique good things there.
Wu Yi nodded and asked, "Sir, when you asked the medical school to conquer the schistosomiasis in the south a few years ago, did you predict this day?"
"good."
All in all, the desert is a little more difficult, but the desert cannot be abandoned. Nomadic peoples are likely to breed in the south and north of the desert, so we must put a few nails there. "
"If the hinterland is unreachable, just retreat to the borderland." When Wang Zheng received the news, it was already the autumn harvest time.
Instead of letting the wealthy and powerful families drive ignorant people into the mountains and forests to open up wasteland, it is better for us to do these things ourselves. At least we have craftsmen, students and soldiers, plans, materials and support.
Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "I can't say that I predicted this today. Many men in the south died young because of schistosomiasis. Medical schools are places to relieve pain. If we conquer schistosomiasis as soon as possible, it will save the lives of the people in the south.
"Brother Zhen is teaching me a lesson. I will just be careful next time."
Although there is no swordplay in palace fights, they are no less dangerous than battlefields. After all, the palace has many rules, and once a mistake is made, no matter how small the matter is, it will be a big deal. Although your husband is strong, distant water cannot put out a nearby fire.
The seeds transported from Yuzhou still grew well on the plateau. Looking at the red and white radishes, Yuzhou cabbage, taro and other vegetables in front of him, Wang Zheng's eyes showed joy, just like those Tibetans who harvested the food.
We in Yuzhou have enough methods and experience to deal with any environment. You just need to bring enough students, craftsmen, soldiers and supplies, and use the south of the desert as your base first, and then develop slowly. It shouldn't be difficult to gain a foothold in the desert."
The result is obvious. With your calculation ability alone, you have completely defeated the criticism of all the other people in the palace. Not only did you save the people in the Ye Ting Bureau, but you also let our minions extend out. You kids are really good."
"How about the two leaders of Chang'an?"
Wu Yi thought for a moment and said, "They are capable enough, but one of them is in charge of teaching in Chang'an, and the other is in charge of the secret forces in Chang'an. It might be inappropriate to leave rashly, right?"
"There's nothing wrong with that. All parties in Chang'an have now entered a period of equilibrium. My Yuzhou faction will not participate in the imperial examination for the time being. Your Majesty is not in a hurry to make plans. Chang'an should be able to maintain stability for a few years. It's a bit of a waste for Erzheng to continue staying in Chang'an. Let them go out for a walk."
Wu Yi nodded, "Who do you plan to choose for the last person, sir?"
"How about letting Zhang San and Li Si choose a place? Qinghai doesn't need much supplies anymore. Cheng Bokang can handle it all by himself. It's a good opportunity to transfer them back."
