When the dusty grain fleet arrived at the Xiaguan wharf in Nanjing, the people on the wharf were almost stupid. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

A stone in the Ming Dynasty is about more than 100 catties in later generations, and more than 100,000 stones are tens of millions of catties of grain. Most of them have no place to dock, and they have directly laid iron anchors on the river.

When the news was transmitted to the city of Nanjing, the faces of the grain merchants in the city turned pale in an instant. Before the grain loading and unloading began, the price of grain in Nanjing was almost already falling.

The people of Jinling were fed up with the high price of grain, so they naturally rejoiced and waited for the grain to come ashore, but the gentry of Jinling went to find the owner of the grain ship with knives in an instant.

This is smashing the plate, so that everyone has no fun!

Some people in Nanjing are in a hurry, but the grain merchants are undoubtedly in a hurry. Countless grain merchant bosses and shopkeepers took action and rushed to the home of Mrs. Song, the leader of the Nanjing grain store, to seek countermeasures.

Someone is going to smash everyone's business and make all grain merchants lose the opportunity to make a fortune, so it is natural to let the leader give everyone an opinion on how to deal with the sudden large amount of grain. If you really let this large amount of food enter the city smoothly, what kind of fun are you playing!

Blocking people's money is undoubtedly killing the parents of these gang of profiteers.

"Song Dongjia, your old man has something to say! The grain store in Nanjing City can count you as the leader of all parties, and everyone is convinced of you. I don't know where this grain ship came from, but not only did it smash everyone's business, but you can't afford to carry it! ”

"Yes, everyone listened to your suggestion at the beginning, and everyone didn't want to sell it. Two days ago, he also pushed the Liao family a lot of business. It's all silver. Now that so much food has come, everyone is going to lose their old capital, you are old and respected, and your family has a big business, so you can't ignore it! ”

.......

A large group of proprietors lost their usual gentleness at this juncture, and seeing that a large sum of silver was about to fly away, they all arrived here with red eyes. Seeing that the leader did not speak, they urged one after another.

In the luxurious hall of the Song family, it suddenly became a vegetable market, and it was disturbed one after another, so it was not lively.

What would you be like when a large group of people came to your house and were arguing like collecting debts, but you really didn't owe them any money?

At least the proprietor of the largest rice shop in Nanjing, and also the leader of the big landlord and the grain merchant in Nanjing, the old man Song was already angry and his face turned blue, and his beard was also curled. It took a long time to find that everyone's voices were quieter, and they knocked the jade crutches in their hands, and shouted hoarsely: "Give me a silence, give me a silence!" ”

However, although the old lady Song is highly respected, she is also very old, and her red face failed to suppress the noise in the living room, and the angry old lady Zhang smashed the Ruyao teacup in her hand.

"Smack!" There was a crisp sound on the ground, and the flower hall instantly quieted down, and the old lady Song was so distressed that her face twitched, and she easily suppressed the anger in her heart, and said very hatefully: "What are you arguing about, what are you arguing about?" It is you who want to get rich, and it is you who are noisy now, and a little thing is in a hurry like you, how can you do a big thing? Our hundreds of grain stores in Jinling are in the same breath, where are we afraid? Without the high price of food, you will all starve to death? ”

"But everyone is unwilling! We didn't sell it when it was three taels, and we didn't sell it when it was four taels, but now that this grain ship comes, can the price of this grain still rise? And when the price of grain comes down, how can we harvest those acres again? ”

"Yes, here is headed by your Song family, you have to speak! We've all listened to you, and we're absolutely fine, but you have to speak, don't you? ”

Seeing that his flower hall was about to make noise again, the old man Song, who had already lost a Ruyao teacup, would not be willing to smash the second teacup anymore, so he had to knock on the tea table hard and said: "The old man also has to listen to the above, without the meaning of the above, no one can act rashly." Nor can food prices come down. I will send someone to talk to the proprietor of the grain ship, hundreds of thousands of stone grain has been transported, it is nothing more than because of the great water in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the price of grain is high, so much grain, we can eat it at a low price, and the price of grain in the future will be whatever price it should be. ”

"But what if the man doesn't sell it?" A big fat man dressed in a foreign mansion stood up and asked.

"Coming out to do business is nothing more than seeking money, as long as we work together and talk about it in unity, who can eat so much food except us? Without our food, how can he sell it? Old lady Song looked at the big fat man and said disdainfully: "I don't know, don't talk nonsense."

The big fat man was embarrassed by Old Man Song's face, his face was very unbearable, the fat on his face twitched, but he didn't dare to speak, and sat back on his chair, causing everyone to snicker.

"If that grain merchant refuses to sell at a low price, he will not want to go ashore, he will be ready to rot the grain on the river, I will see who dares to help him unload the ship, who dares to buy his rice," Old Man Song said majestically. The proprietor of the grain merchant finally settled down.

After a while, Haiyan Heqing was clear, and everyone began to talk and laugh again, and they were ready to finish drinking the tea in the teacup and go back to report back to their behind-the-scenes boss.

In fact, it is not only those grain merchants who have a stake in the arrival of the dust grain ship! In a garden in the north of Jinling City, a few middle-aged people dressed in civilian clothes, but with a bit of official authority between their eyes, also stood respectfully and respectfully on the edge of a pond fishing for an old man who had been waiting for a long time.

"Teacher, now that a large number of grain ships have arrived in Jinling, the price of grain in Jinling will fall at any time, we have been planning for a long time, but now such a change has suddenly come, but how can we be good? Please show me the teacher! ”

If Lichen is here, he will definitely recognize that the middle-aged man who spoke is the Lord Yingtian Governor who is destined to meet him. Being able to do the position of governor of Yingtian in his forties cannot but be said to be an official luck. The governor, who should have been complacent, stood respectfully behind an old man in his seventies and called him a teacher, which was really a model of respect for teachers.

Just figured it out, probably won't think so!

This old man who fished was not a teacher who had really taught the governor poetry and articles, and it was really difficult for the real teachers who enlightened the governor and helped him become a talent.

The civil officials of the Ming Dynasty do not attach importance to their own teachers, but to sit on their teachers. It is said that being a teacher is nothing more than the examiner who reviewed the papers for him back then, and he does not have the grace of teaching for a day, but he has to be commensurate with the teacher, which is nothing more than that the examiners are all senior officials, and they can form a party from the beginning.

The teacher promotes and shelters the students of their officialdom, the students charge into battle for the teacher, and the teacher retreats, and the students can also take the opportunity to take the position and shelter and repay the teacher. This is the general rule of the Ming officialdom, and it is also the most fundamental reason why Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty did not realize it, which led to the expansion of civil officials.

The governor can sit in today's position, I have to say that it is all cultivated by this old man, although the old man is no longer in his position, but I have to say that the protégés are all over the world. Weave a dense web of relationships. Energy is not to be underestimated. Otherwise, it would not have been the turn of this high-ranking governor to be so respectful.

"Respectfully! Are you afraid of killing your head? "The old man fished for a long time, and he didn't catch a small fish, but he was very happy. If you have a heart, you will find that the old man's fish hook is really straight, and he is obviously learning from the Jiang Taigong by the Weishui River! Seeing that the sun was gradually rising, he remembered that there was someone behind him, and asked softly without looking back.

"For the righteousness of the world and the life of the Ming Dynasty, why should students be afraid of death?" When the governor saw the teacher's question, he immediately replied firmly.

"Huh! Old man, I named you the top of the list back then, just because I took a fancy to the righteousness in my chest. It's just respectful! It's easy to say, but it's hard to do. The only death through the ages! Old man, I am a lot old, I still feel that life is too short, you are now the time to work hard, as a feudal official, it is not too early to enter the cabinet in the future, how can you be at this head, say the word death? The old man smiled, put away the fishing rod, and walked slowly towards his study with the empty basket.

Several middle-aged people in the back hurriedly bowed down to follow, and they didn't dare to slack off a little.

A few days ago, the old man talked to several old friends about the situation in Beijing, and they all sighed gloomily, Yang Tinghe was a pity, he didn't do it secretly for a while, not only did he lose his net worth. It also affected the big things of me and other readers. The affairs of the world, originally the Son of Heaven ruled the arch so that the court had virtuous ministers, and the wild had village sages, so that the world was at peace, but when today's son listened to slander, admired Taoism and liked martial arts, but he didn't like us and other ministers, so what to do! In the study, the old man picked up the teacup and took a sip before sighing softly.

"Could it be that the old man still wants to kill the king?" Several middle-aged people were shocked, and hurriedly looked at their noses, pretending not to hear them, and behind their humble looks, they were pretending to be quails!

After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the behavior of several disciples, how could he not know the thoughts of these people. He asked with a wry smile: "Do you know that Yang Tinghe has become the first assistant of the first dynasty, and there is no shortage of fame and fortune, why did he do such a big thing?" ”

"The students don't know, so I ask the teacher to explain one or two on my behalf" When the students led by the governor saw the teacher like this, they immediately stood up from their chairs and bowed and replied,

"Now in this study, it has come out of my mouth and into your ears. If it's not the disloyalty of the ministers of the DPRK and China, it's really Quan'er," the old man put down his teacup and said sharply.

"Today's saint wants military power, and the matter of military power is a matter of life and death, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have to do it!" The old man sighed and continued: "The benefits of the world have a fixed number, if the emperor gets one point, then the gentry of the world will get one point less, and the people will get one point more, and the gentry will have two points less." What's more, there is also Wang Yangming's heresy, which betrays the right path, and takes the benefits of the gentry and makes up for the interests of the people. Acting like this, can the Holy Lord not do the heart of all the officials in the world? , Yang Tinghe is the head of the hundred officials, and he has to do it as a last resort! ”

"Since ancient times, the emperor and the scholars have shared the world, but now the emperor intends to leave the gentry behind and seek benefits from the people. How absurd is it to deviate from the right path? The Ming Dynasty is a country where we are helping to govern it, and the emperor treats me, why is this so? ”

"There are traitors in the court, the country has a faint king, and now the Ming demon road is rampant, which is clearly a sign of the death of the country...

"It's really unwise not to treat scholars with them preferentially, and to favor martial artists!"

Several officials naturally showed righteous indignation in front of their teachers, for fear of being left behind, so that they would lose the favor of their teachers and have a difficult officialdom in the future.

It's just a little sincere, a little fake, but the old man doesn't seem to care at all. He picked up the teacup and cleared his throat and said, "We want to force the victims to do something, although it is not right, but we have to do it. This is Jinling, is the capital of the south of the Yangtze River, Jinling moves, then the world is uneasy, the world's ministers have taken advantage of the uneasy trend of the world, to persuade the emperor to respect the ancestral system, preferential treatment of scholars, please behead the traitors, abolish the disorderly government, and stay away from the demons, and I am the Ming Dynasty. For the teacher and others, you should understand. As a teacher, he is already in his twilight years, what else can he ask for, I just wish the well-being of the world's scholars! ”

.....

Just when the secret discussion in the study was thick, on the dock of Jinling Xiaguan, the face of the demon Dao Chen was not very good-looking.

Because the coolies on the docks seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, there was not a single person who boarded the ship to unload the cargo in the past. However, the owner of the dock repeatedly expelled him, making the dust and fire nameless.

A bunch of guys in Jinling, is this with themselves? Think that without the dock coolies, this grain will not be able to go ashore?

Just when Lichen was still thinking about whether to ask a few Liuding Liujia Fu or Yellow Turban Lux to help him carry things at night, the old housekeeper who got the news rushed to the dock with Zhu Zaikai and the little girl.

As soon as his heart moved, he gave up the shocking idea and thought of the victims outside the city. Anyway, if the food is to be given to them, why is it difficult for them to exert their strength?

After the old housekeeper advised Chenyi or two again, he still shouldn't have been in the first place when he saw Chen, so he could only sigh gloomily and go to help Chen, find the victims to help unload the boat. Zhu Zaikai and the little girl stayed on the boat, looking here and there, seeing so much food for the first time, it was really shocking.

Lichen asked the paper-bound boatmen to help guard the grain boat, and he took the two little ones ashore and returned home.

"Master, aren't you afraid of their idea of beating grain ships?" Zhu Zaikai was quite shrewd, and asked as soon as he got into the carriage.

"Hehe, your master doesn't leave, how can they make it easier for them to start?" Lichen said with a smile.

Zhu Zaikai tilted her head, but the little girl popped out and said: "Master, are you calling yourself a desire to capture and indulge?" ”

Lichen was stunned for a moment, and then said with relief: "The little girl is quite good at reading, if the boy is a man, he may be able to open a champion in the future."

The little girl followed the maid in the house to recognize the words for a few days, and she was able to say a few idioms, and she couldn't help but say that some people are gifted by qualifications, and this thing is really impossible to say.

"Hey! It's really unfair, why can't women take the top prize" The little girl sighed coquettishly.

Lichen smiled and didn't speak. In fact, as long as you know the inspection methods during the imperial examination, you will know how far the imperial examination and women are.

"Sister, don't worry, you will definitely be able to take the top exam in the future" Zhu Zai suddenly promised like an adult. Unexpectedly, it attracted a big white eye.

Zhu Zaikai is sincere now, but the little girl doesn't believe it!

The carriage passed slowly, and the two little ones were happy, but as the carriage went deeper and deeper into the city, his face became more and more ugly.

"Master, what's wrong with you," Zhu Zaikai asked strangely.

"The plague is coming," Lichen sighed, opened the carriage window, and Zhu Zaikai and the little girl immediately looked out the window, but what they saw was the long human dragon in front of the medical hall. (To be continued.) )
