Chapter 160 Two Key Points

In the worst case, it may also affect Li Guangbin's status in the family and affect the tilt of the family's political resources in the future...
From this point of view, the rumor that Li Guangbin and his aunt Li Caiwei have a very good relationship should be true, otherwise Li Guangbin would not work so hard.

After all, if Xu Zhaojie really got into trouble, it would not be of much benefit to him, Li Guangbin, a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Personnel, who would not be able to get promoted or get rich. At most, it would just make him happy!

Therefore, Li Guangbin took such a big risk to help him, but in the end he hasn't produced any results. Ye Mingsheng felt like he was Li Guangbin, and he was not happy either.

If he gets scolded, he can just scold. Anyway, he doesn't know how many people are scolding him behind his back. One more Li Guangbin won't make much difference, and one less won't make much difference. He doesn't know how Xu Zhaojie scolded him so much behind his back.

Just let them scold you, it won’t hurt you anyway!

Shaking his head, Ye Mingsheng continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"

Seeing that his young master didn't care at all, Ye Tie felt that he was doing something unnecessary and shook his head quickly.

Ye Mingsheng waved his hand, and Ye Tie immediately bowed and left the study, closing the door tightly, leaving Ye Mingsheng with a quiet and private space.

half an hour later
In the dim light of candles, Ye Mingsheng leaned tightly against the back of the armchair, his tired head tilted back and his eyes closed to rest. In front of him was a map of the counties and villages around Luoan.

Although no one knows the reason why Yang left Xu Zhaojie, the information provided by Yang is very crucial!

The information provided by Yang has been able to prove that his guess was completely correct. Xu Zhaojie took advantage of the opportunity of the court exporting military equipment and weapons to get the worn-out military equipment and weapons that the Xuanwu Army submitted to the Ministry of War.

From this information, Ye Mingsheng keenly captured two key points. The first was the Yixinrui Trading Company, and the second was Mozhai Village. The former was Xu Zhaojie's partner, and the latter was where Xu Zhaojie stored this batch of weapons.

Although the Great Zhou now nominally implements a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce in order to maintain the economic foundation of feudal society, protect the interests of large landowner groups such as the noble families, and promote the development of agriculture.

But in fact, the wheel of history has already rolled on. From the perspective of later generations, the Great Zhou was already in the embryonic stage of capitalism. Various businesses have sprung up like mushrooms after a spring rain. According to incomplete statistics, there were at least tens of thousands of businesses in the Great Zhou, and hundreds of them were famous.

Although Ye Mingsheng tried very hard to search for information about the business called Yi Xinrui from his memory, he might be really ignorant. Not to mention the information, he even heard the name Yi Xinrui for the first time from Yang.

Although I don't know about this Yi Xinrui Company, but since it was able to help Xu Zhaojie get this batch of military weapons, it should have a strong background. The Ministry of War will most likely be able to find out. With Li Guangbin as an ally, Ye Mingsheng is not particularly worried...
What really gives Ye Mingsheng a headache is this Mozhai Village!
After Ye Tie left, Ye Mingsheng began to look for a map of Luoan and its surrounding areas that had been gathering dust in a corner among the few books in his study. Unfortunately, although he found the map, Ye Mingsheng searched the map carefully three times and still could not find the location of the Mozhai Village mentioned by Yang.

Even though they didn't find it, it wasn't in vain. If Ye Mingsheng's map was correct, then it could indirectly prove that Xu Zhaojie didn't hide the weapons in the surrounding areas of Luoan...

Since it is not in the surrounding area of ​​Luoan, where is this Mozhai Village?
When Ye Mingsheng thought of this problem, he really felt a headache.

As a unified dynasty, the Great Zhou had a vast territory, stretching from the Asut grassland in the north to the South China Sea islands in the south, from Mount Paektu in the east to Lake Santas in the west. It had more than a dozen provincial governments and hundreds of prefectures, with even more counties and townships under its jurisdiction. How easy would it be to find a small village called Mozhai in such a huge area?

It is no exaggeration to say that it is like looking for a needle in a haystack!
Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng couldn't help but sighed, and threw the map of Luoan's surrounding areas on the table back into the corner of the study...

Closing his eyes, Ye Mingsheng gently massaged his temples to relieve the fatigue in his head, while thinking in his mind.

Despite the large area, and despite the fact that we did not get any clues about Mozhai Village from Yang, we only knew the place name.

But this does not mean that Ye Mingsheng is at a loss and has no direction. Based on his understanding of Xu Zhaojie, Ye Mingsheng assumes that he is him.

If Xu Zhaojie went through so much trouble and risked being severely punished or even beheaded by Shangguan Hongyuan to get these weapons, then where would he put them?

Given Xu Zhaojie's extremely controlling style, Ye Mingsheng boldly guessed that he would place the weapon in a safe area that he could control.

Realizing this, the first place that came to Ye Mingsheng's mind was the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion where Xu Zhaojie lived!
But obviously, that's not the answer.
So where would this place be?
The next place Ye Mingsheng thought of was called Zezhou Prefecture!
Although the Xu family, Marquis of Zhenyuan, lives in Luoan, their ancestors started their family in Zezhou Prefecture. The Xu clan has great influence in Zezhou, so Zezhou meets the criteria very well.

After determining his target, Ye Mingsheng closed his eyes to rest, then slowly opened them, a cold light flashed in his eyes!

After returning from Sanyuan Town, Ye Mingsheng was not idle. The next day, he summoned seven people at home, including Zhang Qinghua, Zhao Han, Li Dingbang, and others, who were former members of the Xuanwu Army and were willing to follow him to develop in the Zhenwu Army.

Without exception, these seven people all came from humble backgrounds. They were all listed on the list that Ye Mingsheng gave to Ye Tie, and were recruited by Ye Tie to work under Ye Mingsheng.

Among the seven, only Zhao Han and Li Dingbang had entered the Zhaowu Camp for study and training, and served as the head of the Xuanwu Army. The other five were captains of teams of more than ten people.
