"What's the matter?" Li Jie asked Yang Shiqi casually. He thought the other party wanted to discuss some government affairs with him, so he didn't care much.

However, what Li Jie didn't expect was that Yang Shiqi had hesitated for a moment and finally said, "I have reported to the prince-consort, who is from a little cold, and he was often taken care of by the clan when he was young. Some time ago, I wrote to the clan that some young people from poor families in the clan also wanted to go to America and wanted me to make some arrangements."

"This is a good thing. There is a shortage of people in West Asia in King Yan, and you know the situation in the Americas. Even if you can't do anything, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, there will still be opportunities to go out in the future. Since the people in your family want to go, you can arrange it for them." Li Jie smiled when he heard this.

"Okay, it's good, that is, my family has a lot of people, and it's far away from Jiangxi. We have not recruited people from Jiangxi yet, so we may need to send someone to arrange it." Yang Shiqi said embarrassedly again.

Yang Shiqi is from Ji'an, Jiangxi Province. The Yang family is also a big family in the local area. However, it is not a famous family. The children of the Yang family are also scattered everywhere. For example, Yang Shiqi's father died early, and his mother also remarried an official named Luo. Therefore, when he was young, he had a surname of Luo, but later changed his surname to Yang.

"So you are worried about this." Li Jie smiled again after hearing this, "Although Jiangxi is a little far away, there are already recruitment points in Songjiang. When you write to Songjiang, ask them to arrange it, it is my order. Speaking of which, the south has a large population, so we should have recruited more people from the south." Li Jie smiled again.

"The subordinates thanked the son-in-law for their children in our clan to take care of him. I will do it later!" Yang Shiqi saw Li Jie agreeing, and immediately saluted him gratefully.

Li Jie laughed again, telling him not to be so polite. Then he talked to him about recruiting people. The American Products Exhibition in the capital had ended, but it moved to Tianjin to continue the exhibition. Next, he would go to Kaifeng, Taiyuan and other places, and even to Nanjing and other places for exhibition.

Through this exhibition, more people can also learn about the situation in the Americas and become interested in the Americas. In this way, Li Jie and his team recruiting personnel can also progress more smoothly. For example, many people in Beijing now sign up.

After the talk, the last batch of prisoners of war was also caught on the train. Yang Shiqi said goodbye to Li Jie. He and some officials were also going to Tianjin and escorted the prisoners of war to Dengzhou. After all, so many prisoners of war also needed to be arranged, and Yang Shiqi was busy with these things during this period.

After watching Yang Shiqi leave the train, the smile on Li Jie's face slowly calmed down. After a while, he reached out and immediately a humble little official turned out from the corner of the wall, quickly came to Li Jie and saluted: "Lu An, the small flag of the Jinyiwei, pays homage to the prince-consort!"

"Have you relaxed your surveillance of Yang Shiqi recently?" Li Jie asked without looking back.

Li Jie was not very relieved about Yang Shiqi, so he arranged for the Jinyiwei to keep staring at the other party. However, as time went by, the Jinyiwei had already complained. If it weren't for Li Jie's pressure, and Zhu Yunxiu wouldn't be relieved, Yang Shiqi would have withdrawn long ago.

"Don't worry, with your order, my subordinates dare not relax at all. They have been following Yang Shiqi in turn during this period, and even our people were on the train he had just gotten on." Xiaoqi Lu An answered again.

"Then have you found anything new?" Li Jie asked again. In fact, he had asked this question countless times, but the Jinyiwei's answers disappointed him very much. Yang Shiqi's life was very simple, and there was nothing unusual at all. Even Jinyiwei could not find any problems.

However, what surprised Li Jie this time was that when Lu An heard his question, he was shocked and immediately replied: "Your Majesty, our people recently discovered that Yang Shiqi had frequent contact with a man named Zhou Zhongzheng, and they were very cautious when they met, as if they were afraid that others would find out, which also attracted our attention."

"Zhou Zhongzheng?" Li Jie felt very unfamiliar with the name, and then asked again, "Have you investigated this person?"

"It has been found out that Zhou Zhong is from Nanjing. He was born in a scholarly family. His family has been a scholarly family for several generations. His father was also a county magistrate of the previous dynasty, but he himself was not good at the imperial examinations. So he usually made a living by teaching. He used to have his own private school in Nanjing, but later, for some reason, he also came to Beijing. Now he has no business, and he usually makes a living by writing letters." Lu An reported again.

"It's normal for a scholarly family to be a teacher, but he doesn't want to be a good private school in Nanjing, but he came to Beijing to write letters to people to make a living. This is a bit strange." Li Jie also touched his chin and said to himself when he heard this.

"The prince-consort said it well. We also thought Zhou Zhongzheng was a little strange, so we checked it down again, but we found something!" Lu An said excitedly again at this time.

Although Lu An is a small flag, he is the hereditary Jinyiwei, and his father is even one of the Jinyiwei families. However, Lu An is not the eldest son and cannot inherit his father's official position. He can only rely on himself to work hard. He has been promoted to a small flag in just a few years, but not only relying on the care of his father and brother, but also his own abilities are quite good.

It is precisely because of the above reasons that Lu An was assigned to Li Jie, who was fully responsible for monitoring Yang Shiqi. He had been following Yang Shiqi for several years and has finally made progress, so he was very happy.

"What did you find?" Li Jie immediately asked. He had always wanted to know who the person behind Yang Shiqi was, but Yang Shiqi did everything without any leakage. He had not been able to seize his handle in recent years, and now he has finally made some progress.

"Every time Zhou Zhongzheng and Yang Shiqi met, someone would ask him to write a letter. At first we didn't pay attention, but later we accidentally discovered that although this person changed his clothes every time, he was the same person. This shocked us. So we sent additional people to investigate the origin of this person, especially where the letters written by Zhou Zhongzheng were sent..."

"Where did you send it?" Li Jie couldn't help but interrupt Lu An and asked.

"Hehe, you must have never imagined that these letters were sent to the same person, and this person was Zhou Zhongzheng's eldest brother Zhou Bozheng!" Lu An smiled proudly again.

"What is this Zhou Bozheng's identity?" Li Jie asked again. If Zhou Zhongzheng wrote a letter to his elder brother, he could send it openly, but he asked someone to pretend to be the person who wrote the letter to take away the letter and then send it secretly. This would be very abnormal.
