Lichen first wanted to visit the representative sent by Zhu Houzhao to Jiangnan to sit in the town, the eunuch Tan Gonggong who guarded Nanjing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Such a strange thing in Nanjing, it is impossible for the eunuch who is directly connected to the three factories and one guard not to know, right?

If it is said that the people in Jiangnan will rebel, the gentry will rebel, and the nobles will also rebel, but the eunuchs who come out of the court are not likely to rebel.

Except for some people who have water in their heads, such as Cao Jixiang and Cao Gonggong!

The eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty were born dependent on the imperial power, and when the emperor gave him power, he would suddenly become powerful, but as long as the emperor said a word, the eunuchs would instantly fall into the dust, and even be cut by a thousand knives.

For example, Liu Jin and Liu Gonggong in front, if it weren't for the dust, he would have been cut into meat slices at this time. For example, the nine-thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian Wei Gonggong later.

The eunuchs of the former Tang Dynasty who abolished the emperor could not have appeared in the Ming Dynasty at all. The eunuch dictatorship was just a helper recruited by the emperor to fight with the civil officials.

The civil officials have tirelessly shouted that the eunuchs have misled the country, but in essence, it is only the imperial power that infringes on their interests, and this is just a struggle between the imperial power and the vassals!

The eunuch who can be sent to Nanjing by the palace to guard the town will not be a fool, right?

You must know that once the Jiangnan is in turmoil and Jinling is shaken, the first one who will not let go of the government and the opposition is the eunuch who guards Nanjing!

Whether it is or not, local turmoil must be the pot of the local town guard eunuch, and you can't get rid of it if you want to!

Lichen didn't bring Zhu Zaikai with him this time, he changed his clothes alone and hid his figure. Unknowingly, he went out and came to the eunuch's house.

The atmosphere in the town guard eunuch's mansion was a little strange, and Li Chen followed the guidance of his divine sense, went directly to the hall and entered the room, and came to the main courtyard of the town guard eunuch mansion.

There were flowers outside, but Eunuch Tan was lying on the hospital bed, and he was about to die.

Lichen calculated that Eunuch Tan was destined to not escape the catastrophe, but he didn't worry about his life, but the moment he saw Eunuch Tan, Lichen almost thought that he had miscalculated.

There is also a bad plague in Jinling City?

You must know that the place where the eunuch's mansion is located is not a disaster area where sewage flows outside and rats and lice are rampant, and because of their own physical defects, most of the eunuchs are more clean, why did they suddenly become infected with the plague?

Why are the other people in the eunuch's mansion okay?

With the experience of Emperor Zhu Houzhao of Zhengde, Lichen has to doubt the cause and effect!

Lichen suddenly felt a chill, the viciousness and decisiveness of the scholar were really unguardable, and he must have controlled the inner courtyard of the eunuch early on, but he just couldn't hide it on weekdays. But aren't they afraid that the plague will come back to them? You must know that the epidemic is together, but no matter what status you have, there are entire villages and cities everywhere!

As for why the Jiangnan gentry wanted to harm a eunuch, they didn't need to think about it to know.

The eunuchs guarding Nanjing were the representatives sent by the emperor to Jiangnan, and they were also the eyes and ears sent by the emperor to Jiangnan.

If the emperor's ears and eyes are not blinded first, how can the officials put on this big show without being smashed by others?

The dust came stealthily and walked incognito. After glancing at Gonggong Tan, who was in a coma and with a high fever, he sighed and left.

Eunuch Tan should be able to support it for two days, but before he is sure that he can defuse the offensive of the gentry, it is not appropriate to startle the snake.

The dust now needs a lot of food and medicinal herbs to quell or delay the outbreak of civil unrest and plague at the same time.

But none of this can be done in Jinling. No amount of silver can be brought from the homes of the rich officials, and it will alarm the conspirators hidden in the depths.

It is a pity that with the increasing prosperity of commerce in Jiangnan and the rise of maritime trade smuggling, the land in Jiangnan has been changed to rice and mulberry. Jiangnan is no longer the granary of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to buy or carry a large amount of grain to Jinling, you can only go to Huguang.

Isn't the nearest grain producing area to Nanjing Anhui and Hubei?

After returning to the mansion, Chen decided to go to Hubei in person, and in two days it was enough for Chen to borrow a large amount of grain, and then light enough boats on the river to transport it to Nanjing.

After having food, there is no fear of rebellion and civil unrest. As for the plague, Jinling had enough medicinal materials, but the gentry had other plans. The current scholars and doctors have not reaped the consequences of their own efforts, and it is not possible to teach them a lesson.

Let them know that in the face of natural disasters and man-made disasters, there is no distinction between high and low, and it doesn't matter whether you read the sages or not!

The dust can even only treat the common people, regardless of whether those high-ranking old men die or not, anyway, they didn't kill themselves, and it can't be counted as dust if there is cause and effect.

As for Shilin's discussions, does Lichen still care about these?

The plan has been decided, and the housekeeper and Zhu Zaikai who were called by Chen.

"Master, I bought a lot of grain in Huguang, and I may be about to arrive in Nanjing recently, I have to go there in person, otherwise I don't feel at ease with such a large amount of grain." When I was away, there was still some grain in the house, and I could continue to give porridge outside the city to accumulate more yin virtue. You must know that saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter! There is also the housekeeper who gave porridge at the same time, and took Zhu Zaikai to buy food in the city, the more the better! Then there is the master, I have a medicine here, you will personally send it to the eunuch's mansion in two days, and watch Gonggong Tan drink it in person, there is a post from the master, they dare not stop you" Lichen sat in the study and ordered. And handed over a packet of medicinal herbs to the old butler.

"Master, since you bought a large amount of grain from Huguang, why do you have to buy grain in the city, you must know that in the city now, the grain is 3 taels and one stone, but it has risen to the sky!" The old butler asked puzzled.

"Silver, what this master has, is not afraid of expensive food, but afraid that they will not sell it. When you buy grain, you say that Master Ben is giving porridge outside the city, and the grain turnover cannot be opened, so you must not tell outsiders about Master Ben buying grain, understand? The three of us in this study know that although the young master is young, he also knows how to keep secrets, if the outside knows about it, it must be your business, understand? Although Lichen believed in the old butler's loyalty, he didn't fail to point it out. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

The most unbelievable thing in this world is the human heart!

After finishing speaking, he looked at Zhu Zai and said: "When the master is not here for a few days, you follow the old housekeeper to buy food, talk less and move less, and don't attract people's attention." Just take a closer look, you know? ”

Zhu Zaikai nodded heavily.

Only then did he add a sentence with confidence: "The victims outside the city are difficult, since my family wants to accumulate yin virtue, they can't do something that damages yin virtue, when the porridge outside the city is given, the porridge must be inserted with chopsticks not to fall, and if possible, add some oil and salt." Anyway, my grain ship is about to arrive, and my family doesn't have to worry about food. ”

When Lichen was about to leave, he uneasily hung a jade talisman on Zhu Zaikai's chest, and then personally hid it on his chest for him, and advised: "When the master is not there, you are the head of the family, and you have to learn from the old housekeeper, how to manage the family and take care of the housework, understand?" Don't come out of anything, there's an old butler here! All you have to do is watch from the sidelines! ”

The dust came out of the city, walked to a place where there was no one, hid his figure, and reached the clouds in a flash. Then we traveled all the way west, and in a few moments we arrived at Xiangyang.

Lichen first asked about the price of rice from shop to store, and then he didn't talk about the price, so he made a large deposit, ordered a large amount of rice, and agreed to send it to the dock outside the city tomorrow morning, and then left. The eyes of the grain merchants in Xiangyang were about to fall.

When did such a big businessman emerge in Xiangyang! Why haven't you seen it before?

The proprietors and shopkeepers are destined to inquire to no avail, but the money is real. If you have silver, you can't sell it! Didn't you see a gang of profiteers in Shanxi, can you even sell the country, the nation and the ancestors and ancestors?

Rice grain can't be faked, but Lichen doesn't have such a big ability to conjure up a large amount of grain out of thin air. But the grain ship had to be faked.

Although you can go down the river from Nanjing, Hubei Province, to Nanjing Wharf, the speed of the ship is so fast, what grain ship can reach Nanjing the fastest?

Lichen bought dozens of woodcarved boat toys from the street and put them in his sleeve.

As soon as it was dark, Lichen stood on the Yangtze River, looked for a place, unprinted it with his hand, and recited words in his mouth. One by one, the woodcarved boats were thrown into the water.

The woodcarved boat floated on the water, and with the finger of the Dust Mahogany Magic Sword, the boat instantly became larger, no different from the real boat.

Lichen simply tied some paper figures as boatmen, and then drove to Xiangyang Wharf with this mighty fleet.

This night, the local tyrants and inferior gentry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were unlucky, and they were about to lose a large sum of silver taels before they knew it. It was not known how long they would have to wait until they found out that the chest of silver in the cellar where they had hidden it was empty.

But the dusty ship had already been stably stacked with several silver boxes. Inside are all silver ingots with white flowers.

The people of Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been affected by the disaster, and they want to buy grain in Huguang, and those corrupt officials and rich businessmen in Jiangsu and Zhejiang will not pay, and who will pay. You can't pit the Hubei people, right?

As soon as the morning dawned, the dusty fleet filled the wharf of Xiangyang, and when the grain carts of the grain merchants arrived, they breathed a long sigh of relief and put their minds at ease.

There was a lot of grain to buy, and the grain merchants had to urgently mobilize grain from other places, and maybe a lot of it was lent out in the official warehouse. It took a lot of effort from a bunch of grain merchants.

But when the dust made the boatmen carry out boxes of white flowers and silver, the grain merchants in Xiangyang did not feel that yesterday's hard work was not worth it.

The buyer is bold, and the seller is naturally happy. The grain merchants also specially called a large group of wharf coolies to help load the ship, and even sent men to supervise it. I have to say that at this time, when the businessmen meet the big customers, the after-sales service is very good.

Just when the dust was smooth sailing in Hubei, and everything was going well, waiting for the grain ship to be filled with grain, the old housekeeper took Zhu Zaikai but ran into walls everywhere.

The Liao Mansion wants to win a good reputation, and the gentry and wealthy businessmen in Jinling are not good at interfering openly. If people do good, if they oppose it, won't it make people poke their backbones. The gentry officials still have to save face. It's not good to stop it openly, but they all hate the Liao family to the core.

You are a foreigner, you have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it, and you want to give porridge and do good, isn't this a slap in the face in public?

What's more, the Liao family's sudden action completely destroyed the conspiracy of some people.

So the old housekeeper took Zhu Zaikai to run into walls everywhere, and no amount of silver could be spent.

Zhu Zaiqi was dumbfounded, and the old housekeeper sighed gloomily.

Because the old housekeeper knew that from the moment on, his family was destined to become the enemy of the entire Jinling gentry and wealthy merchants!

Now they just don't sell food, and in a few days, I don't know what kind of trouble will wait for them again!

Liao Mansion won't be able to stay in Jinling! (To be continued.) )
