    "In addition, this 'Qinghe County' is not the Qing Palace. We must strengthen the guard to protect the safety of the emperor, the prince and the two empresses." Zhang Xianggong thought for a moment, and Fang Youyou warned: "Don't rush to make decisions if there is any trouble.  Stay in touch with Bugu anytime.¡±

    "Hey." Feng Bao nodded and said, "Although our family is no longer in charge of the Royal Horse Supervisor, the stewardship has not yet been decided. The current supervisory eunuchs are still members of our family."

    "Well, remember to keep a low profile and don't show off, especially don't come forward directly. Use the words of the two empresses, but you must sincerely consider them. In the past, this kind of help in times of need is enough to ensure that you can make a comeback in the future.  Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "Okay, I have to go back quickly. If I have been out for a long time, Mr. Gaoge will be suspicious."

    "Our family all listens to our husband." Feng Bao nodded heavily and watched Mr. Zhang Ge leave.

    Zhang Juzheng hurried back to the penthouse, slowed down his breathing, quietly opened the door, and went in lightly. He couldn't help but be startled.

    ¡°In the darkness, I saw Gao Gong sitting cross-legged on the kang, looking at me gloomily.

    "Oh, you scared me. Why didn't Yuan Weng ask someone to hold the lamp?" Zhang Juzheng calmed down.

    "I got up in the middle of the night to drink water and saw you weren't there. I was about to call someone to find you." Gao Gong suppressed the light in his eyes and asked calmly: "Have you gone to the latrine?"

    "No, I feel like I have some food accumulation, so I can't sleep and go out for a walk." Zhang Juzheng said with a wry smile: "It seems that I am really old and can't sleep after eating."

    "Oh, I thought you were having a tryst with someone." Gao Gong grinned, but there was no smile at all.

    "This kind of joke is not allowed in the forbidden area of ??the palace." Zhang Juzheng picked up the fire sickle and flint from the table, but his hands couldn't help but tremble a little, and he wiped them several times without lighting the tinder.

    He knew that once Gao Gong became suspicious, his whereabouts could not be concealed Gao Huzi only had to ask Meng Chong tomorrow, and he would know the empress's decree to Feng Bao, and he would also know who he went to see last night.

    Thinking about the pros and cons in a flash, Zhang Juzheng breathed a sigh of relief, calmed down, lit the tinder and lit the candle, and said as if chatting: "But I really met Eunuch Feng, he was coming to see me, sir.  Worried about disturbing Yuan Weng, I took him far away to talk."

    "Oh, that's it." Gao Gongpi said with a smile: "I thought you were avoiding me on purpose."

    "How could it be? He is here to declare the Queen Mother's decree" Zhang Juzheng picked up the teapot from the warm cage, poured a cup of tea for Gao Gong, and told Queen Chen to ask two miracle doctors from Jiangnan Hospital to treat the emperor.  Listen to Mr. Gaoge.  At the end, he added: "Because Jiangnan Hospital was founded by Karma, the empress wants the servant to write a letter to Karma so that he can know the pros and cons."

    "Well, I think it will work. If the emperor can be cured, it will definitely be the work of Sheji." Gao Gong nodded, took the tea from Zhang Juzheng, and drank it all in one gulp.  With a worried look on his face, he lay down again and said, "Let's think of a way. We must make the emperor get well as soon as possible."

    "Yes, the morning court was suddenly canceled today. The government and the public must be panicking" Zhang Juzheng sighed softly, blew out the dim lights, and then went to bed in the dark.

    Gao Gong¡¯s snoring started again, and Mr. Zhang continued to have trouble sleeping all night

    Fucking tall beard, littering quilt!

    When Zhao Hao received the letter from Fei Ge in the capital, it was already the end of leap February.

    At that time, he was in Fanshan Town, Pingyang County, the southernmost tip of Wenzhou Prefecture and the southernmost tip of Zhejiang Province, inspecting the alum mine he had longed for.

    When you hear the name Fanshan Town, you know that alum has been discovered here for a long time.  In fact, since the beginning of the Republic of China, local people have made a living by mining and purifying alum. In addition to selling it directly to drug dealers as a raw medicine, they also make a kind of "clear water beads" and sell them to counties and coastal villages and towns.

    The coastal areas south of the Yangtze River are deeply affected by ocean tides. When a typhoon comes, water sources such as wells and rivers will become turbid. Throwing a "clear water bead" into a bucket can clarify the turbid water and make it suitable for drinking again.  Therefore, sales have been good.

    But even so, the alum market is still too small, and it started later than the established alum producing areas in Lujiang, Huizhou and Zhouning, Fujian.  In addition, it is located in a mountainous area with inconvenient transportation. The town has a population of only a few thousand and does not have much industry. The locals just make ends meet.

    Outside the town, Zhao Hao visited what the locals call a kiln which is just a stove built with stones and a pottery jar set up.  Workers knocked down high-quality alum stones from nearby mountains, picked them up, pounded them, put them into a vat and boiled them to refine them, and finally obtained alum of acceptable purity.

    Yue Peng, the general manager of Jiangnan Mining who was responsible for the preliminary survey, introduced to Mr. Zhao that even such a simple stove??

    Therefore, the implication of Mr. Zhao¡¯s words is that he clearly agrees to include Pingyang and even Wenzhou into the integration of Jiangnan!

    It¡¯s not just Wenzhou Prefecture. In fact, Zhao Hao has agreed to absorb the three prefectures of Ning, Shao, and Taiwan into the Jiangnan integration.  Because the Jiangnan Group has controlled the entire Daming coast, transportation in these four coastal states is no longer a problem.

    The addition of these four prefectures also has a very important significance, that is, Jiangnan Group has finally completely connected the coastal areas of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong!

    From the map, the entire Jiangnan system is like a fully drawn bow, shooting the heavy body of this old empire towards the depths of the sea!

    ps. That¡¯s it for this chapter. I¡¯ll make it up tomorrow.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
