    Ye Yuan was determined not to tell his secret at first.

    Ding Yunyi didn¡¯t force himself: ¡°How much money do you need?¡±

    "I'm still short of 10,000 taels!" Ye Yuan reported a number: "In order to secure the position of Quanzhou Prefecture, I lost everything. I was still short of 20,000 taels of silver. I raised money everywhere and barely managed to make up half of it.  There is nothing I can do about the remaining half. Think about it, how many people are staring at this position. Most of us who are officials in the capital are poor officials. Everyone borrows money, but there are not so many.  The money can be borrowed there.¡±

    Ding Yunyi knew he was telling the truth.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????The poor officials in the capital were all staring at it eagerly, they all wanted to get this position in their hands.

    Help him?  Let him become the prefect of Quanzhou?  Ding Yunyi's mind was spinning rapidly.

    My father has left Fujian, and I lack a "one of my own" in Fujian.  He is stationed in Penghu, and it is best to know as soon as possible if there is any trouble in Fujian, and this is something he has always lacked.

    Ding Yunyi doesn¡¯t know his brother-in-law very well, but he heard that this man is completely opposite to Wang Qingheng. His reputation as an official is not very good because he has been involved in corruption.  But he has many friends, and everyone likes to associate with him. When corruption occurs, there are many officials who protect him.  From this point of view alone, this person must have his own uniqueness as an official.

    The internal support I need in the Fujian officialdom is not someone like Ding Yuanzhao or Wang Qingheng who is meticulous and ruthless, but an official like Ye Yuan.

    As long as you can buy officials with money, it's not a big problem.

    What¡¯s more, he is still his brother-in-law after all, and besides money, he also has face.

    After thinking about this, Ding Yunyi pondered and said: "Brother-in-law, I won't carry around ten thousand taels of silver"

    Ye Yuan suddenly looked disappointed, but Ding Yunyi immediately said: "Give me two days, and within two days, I will definitely help you get these ten thousand taels of silver!"

    Ye Yuan was immediately overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

    Ding Yunyi smiled slightly and said: "Brother-in-law, you don't have to thank me. When you really become the prefect of Quanzhou, I will have many ways to rely on my brother-in-law in the future."

    "I am your brother-in-law, and you are willing to lend me money, so naturally I have nothing to say." Ye Yuan patted his chest and said, "I can't guarantee that as long as I can sit in that position, Fujian  If there is any news on the matter, and what the governors and generals are doing there, I guarantee you will know as soon as possible."

    This is what Ding Yunyi wants.

    It is impossible for an official like Ye Yuan to expect him to give you any great help, but he is very willing to do it if you ask him to spread the news and make a favor without any effort.

    The two of them made an agreement at that moment, and Ye Yuan stood up and left with satisfaction.

    This is Ding Yunyi¡¯s political alliance

    ?¡­

    When Ding Yunyi woke up early in the morning, he was washing and thinking about where to get the ten thousand taels of silver.  I do have one in Penghu, but it's a long way there. By the time my money arrives, I'm afraid someone else has already taken office in Quanzhou.

    "Young master, are you up?"

    "Ah, yes." Seeing Jiang Qi, Ding Yunyi asked casually: "Master, are you up?"

    "I got up early and am meeting guests there."

    "Oh, meeting guests?"

    "Yes, Wu Sangui, the son of Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong."

    "Who?" Ding Yunyi opened his eyes wide.

    Jiang Qi¡¯s attitude towards the young master was baffling: ¡°Wu Sangui is the son of Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong.¡±

    Wu Sangui!

    That legendary figure Wu Sangui!

    He was born in a prominent family of generals in Liaodong. Under the instruction and influence of his father Wu Xiang and his uncle Zu Dashou, he studied literature and martial arts. He passed the martial arts examination when he was less than twenty years old. From then on, he followed his father Wu Xiang and his uncle Zu Dashou.  , began his military career.

    During the Battle of Daling River in the fourth year of Chongzhen, Wu Xiang, the commander-in-chief, led more than 40,000 horsemen and infantry to aid Daling River Zu Dashou. As a result, Wu Xiang escaped before the battle and was dismissed from his post.  But it was also at that time that Wu Sangui clashed with the enemy for eleven consecutive times and first emerged.

    In June of the next year, in order to quell the mutiny of General Kong Youde and other generals in Dengzhou, Shandong, Wu Xiang accompanied his deputy general Zu Dabi on an expedition to Shandong. Finally, Kong Youde took a boat from Dengzhou to cross the sea and defected to the Later Jin Dynasty, while Wu Xiang resumed his duties as general soldier.

    With the reinstatement of Wu Xiangguan, Wu Sangui also served as a guerrilla at the time, when he was only twenty years old.

    Now, Wu Sangui has come to his home?

      Ding Yunyi asked Jiang Qi to do his own thing and quietly came outside the living room.

    I just heard a young voice inside saying: "Shilang Ding, you are the Shifu of the Ministry of War. Please help me in any way and say a few words in front of the Holy Lord. I really can't afford to default on my salary any longer."

    Ding Yuanzhao's voice came: "Uncle Chang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that I, the Minister of War, have just taken office and I am not familiar with many things. Why don't you go to Chief Wen?"

    "I found it, but Wen Shoufu pushed back and said that the matter was not his responsibility and that he had to go to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War pushed the matter to the Ministry of Husbandry, and the Ministry of Husbandry pushed it to Wen Shoufu. As a result, they kicked it back and forth.  Sangui has been delayed in the capital for more than a month. If he stays here for one more day, the border will become unstable. Sangui has no choice but to take the initiative to go forward after hearing that you have been appointed as Minister of War.  I'm here to find you, Minister Ding, please do it for the sake of the border officers."

    Ding Yuanzhao thought for a while: "Why not directly request an audience with the emperor?"

    "I also looked for him, but after several times asking to see him, the emperor just didn't see him."

    "I guess the imperial court doesn't have the money, otherwise every time someone comes from the border, the emperor will always see him no matter how busy he is."

    "It's difficult for the court, but it's even more difficult for the border." The voice was extremely urgent: "We owe half a year's salary before and after. Brothers fought bloody battles, isn't it just for these few taels of silver that they sacrificed their lives for? But today, tomorrow, it's already been a few days.  This is the first time that a pay riot has occurred. If we hadn't suppressed it with force and soft tactics, it might have caused chaos anywhere, but we can't mess with the border. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to suppress it.  ¡±

    "Let me think about it, let me think about it." Ding Yuanzhao sighed: "It's difficult for you, and it's equally difficult for the emperor. Money is needed at the border, and money is needed in the Central Plains. It's just a little money, who do you think should be used first? But  One thing is, there must be no mutiny under any circumstances, otherwise it will be a catastrophic disaster!"

    After saying this, there was no more sound.

    Ding Yunyi couldn't bear it any longer and said loudly outside: "Father, no matter how difficult it is for the Wu guerrillas, it cannot be difficult at the border. Now that Ming Dynasty can deal with the rogue bandits with all its strength, it depends on the sacrifice of the border officers and soldiers!"
