"Very good, well played! It's called self-inflicted! I thought I couldn't help you, I didn't even have to move my fingers, and you fell! ”

Zhu Houxi crossed his feet, looked at the news, and flew happily, asking Caogong to form a militia, which was definitely a stroke of genius. Don't look at those wealthy businessmen, they are usually very arrogant, but in fact they are very fragile.

The biggest skill of these people is to scare the people below...... One by one, there are people on top of them at every turn, and they can't be a lifetime. But to put it bluntly, it's hard to say how many people are willing to stand up for them.

As for facing the above, they have to change their faces and say how much appeal they have among the people, so as to invite credit.

All in all, it's the kind of trick that eats both ends.

If you encounter a plate of loose sand, or a confused upper layer, it really works.

In fact, they've been doing it for years.

But who knows, they actually ran into an iron plate.

At the suggestion of Wang Yue, Zhu Houxi directly communicated with the Cao Gong and authorized the people...... This move brought out those forces caught in the middle, and they realized the power of mixed doubles, and their nose and face were swollen suddenly.

The whole family of the wealthy businessman named Zhang Guangcai was arrested, a total of more than a dozen, and sent to the government. As for the more than 200 thugs in their family, they were scattered as birds and beasts, and none of them were left.

There were also more than 30 injured on the Caogong's side, but no one was killed.

Moreover, after this war, the Caogong militia was greatly prestigious, and soon thousands of Caogong workers joined it, and with Huai'an as the center, it expanded to the north and south, and similar Caogong organizations quickly appeared.

They also carried wooden sticks and red cloths tied around their arms, and actively patrolled the canals to maintain the water transportation.

According to the summary of various news, at most half a month, the originally cut off Cao Yun can return to normal.

What's even more exciting is that in the process of cleaning up these wealthy businessmen, those messy expenses have also been canceled.

That's critical!

Not only can the efficiency of transportation not be compared with sea transportation, but also because every place you pass by, you have to make a point, which makes the freight skyrocket.

According to Wang Yue's estimates, the cost of shipping is at least three times that of sea freight!

This is not counting the money that the imperial court spent every year to dredge the water and maintain the canal...... It's not that the imperial court doesn't want this money, but once it's levied, the freight explodes!

There is a saying among the people that it is called not transporting grain for thousands of miles.

In everyone's opinion, food is the least profitable of all commodities.

Coal and iron ore, which are lower than the price of grain, do not have the value of long-distance transportation.

It is precisely because of this that silk, tea, these small in size, high value things, will be favored.

After all, at all times, we must pay attention to the most basic economic laws, and no one wants to do things that lose money.

With the clean-up of these large households, it is expected that the freight will be reduced a lot, and the freight will be able to maintain for a longer period of time, which in turn will give the law a buffer period.

No matter how you look at it, the benefits are amazing.

No wonder Zhu Houxi smiled.

This is almost one of the few good news he's heard since he went south.

"Huang Jin...... For dinner tonight, you can just prepare two or three hundred dishes, so you don't have to be too extravagant and wasteful. ”

Huang Jin's face darkened...... Hundreds of dishes, what about raising pigs?

He didn't say anything, and hurried to find Wang Yue for help.

"Brother Fugui, this, this Zhang family is really my godfather's nephew!"

Wang Yue chuckled, "So you say that?" Do you want to stand up for him? ”

"What's the matter?" Huang Jin sighed and said, "Brother Fugui, I'm not stupid, can I not even know this good or bad?" I'm worried, I'm worried that our emperor is going to attack me! ”

Wang Yue looked at Huang Jin very seriously, and then said seriously: "According to my calculations, as long as you can eat less and live to ninety-nine, there is no problem, don't worry!" ”

Huang Jin couldn't cry or laugh, "Brother Fugui, when is it, don't make me happy." I also know that the emperor feels sorry for me and won't do it. But when the Zhang family came out, many people impeached my godfather, saying that he was one of the Eight Tigers back then and did many evils. Now that he is dead, he still has endless poison, and all rewards should be recovered and severely punished! ”

When Huang Jin said this, his eyes turned red, and he couldn't help but cry.

Zhang Yong, the old eunuch, although he is listed as the Eight Tigers, but God is pitiful, he really didn't do anything bad!

On the contrary, in the era of the lack of martial virtue, he shouldered the burden of leading the troops to resist the enemy, and he had a share in the Zhengde Dynasty's attack on the Tatars.

Even Wang Yangming went on an expedition outside the Saiwai and relied on Zhang Yong's help to achieve results.

The old eunuch made so many great achievements, but he was not proud of his achievements, but retreated bravely and took the initiative to go to Fengyang to guard the ancestral tomb.

Not to mention eunuchs, even if they are civil ministers, how many people can do it?

Huang Jin is really wronged for his godfather, if even his old man dies and is not at peace, then no one can have a good end.

"Brother Fugui, that Zhang Guangcai can't die, I don't care at all, but my godfather's reputation can't collapse like this...... You, you're going to help you come up with an idea! ”

Wang Yue bowed his head, he didn't shirk, and even had a sense of obligation, Zhang Yong was indeed a rare eunuch.

"Huang Jin, in fact, this thing is very easy."

Huang Jin rolled his eyes, "Brother Fugui, your ease is different from that of us ordinary people. ”

Wang Yue couldn't help laughing, "I didn't lie to you, who is Gonggong Zhang?" ”

"W-do you still need to ask?" Huang Jin pouted and snorted: "Although he is a eunuch, he is not a man!" Just like me! ”

"Phew!"

Wang Yue couldn't help but take a sip of him, "Don't put gold on your face, just come here." You can go to Fengyang now and renovate the tomb for his old man's house. Then ask someone to write an epitaph, recall the merits, and write down Zhang's father-in-law's family, relatives, thoughts, and wills clearly. Whoever uses his banner to do anything wrong, then he won't agree! ”

Huang Jin's eyes rolled...... Tall!

It's not ordinarily high, it's just out of the realm!

Through a funeral, he cleaned up the source and said everything that should be said, which saved his reputation for his godfather and saved him from embarrassment.

By the way, you can also knock on the forces on both sides of the canal, don't dream, hurry up and obey the arrangements of the imperial court, obediently, otherwise you will have good fruits to eat!

"Brother Fugui, I, I'll go now! Then, how about you go to Your Majesty's place tonight and ask me for a leave? If Your Majesty has anything, you can help me bear it. ”

The little fat man's face was full of sincerity, and he looked pleading and pleading.

What could Wang Yue say, he only nodded.

Huang Jin hurriedly patted his ass and ran away.

When it was night, Wang Yue was furious!

Dead Huang Jin!

You little bunny, you dare to fool me!

Zhu Houxi said unceremoniously: "Don't think about it, anyway, Huang Jin has promised to prepare two hundred dishes for me, and when he leaves, it is naturally your business, don't think about denying it!" ”

Wang Yue rolled his eyes angrily, "I was kind enough to help him, but he actually dug a pit for me...... You wait, even if he cries and begs me to kneel for me, I won't help him write an epitaph! ”

Zhu Houxi looked at Wang Yue very seriously, and then bowed slightly: "Don't worry, he really won't look for you!" ”

Wang Yue was stunned, don't look for me?

Who else can I look for?

Is there someone more suitable than me?

Facts have proved that Wang Yue really overestimated himself, and Huang Jin didn't fancy him at all...... Do you think I am asking Your Majesty for help, or am I asking Yang Minggong to come forward?

The godfather is considered the person of the first emperor, and it is not appropriate for His Majesty to write it. He did fight with Yang Minggong, but only once. Once Yang Ming Gong also fought against the Eight Tigers.

If you ask Yang Minggong to write, will the world care more about Yang Minggong, and will they think of Liu Jin?

Wouldn't that be noisy and affect the original intention of commemorating the godfather!

After thinking about it, Huang Jinsi finally had an idea, and a name popped up!

Yang Yiqing!

There is no better fit than his old man.

Yang Yiqing became famous very early, it was the two of them who joined forces to get rid of Liu Jin, and later Zhang Yong was the eunuch who was the best at leading the troops, and Yang Yiqing, as the important minister of the nine sides, dealt with each other a lot and knew each other very well.

It couldn't be more appropriate to ask the old man to come forward.

Therefore, Huang Jin immediately wrote a sincere letter and sent it to Chengde.

……

"I can really think of the old man, even if this little eunuch has a little conscience."

Yang Yiqing sat on the ridge of the field, and in front of him, there was a field of crops, planted with soybeans.

Few people know that Yang Yiqing is already the biggest soybean king in the entire Ming Dynasty.

The soybean planting area directly controlled by the old man exceeded 300,000 mu, and it is still expanding rapidly at the annual figure of 100,000 mu.

From Daning to Liaodong, as long as the rain is sufficient and the conditions permit, there is Yang Yiqing's soybean field.

This soybean is a treasure.

It can be used to extract oil, make tofu, grind soybean milk, and be used as feed, especially on the land that has been planted with soybeans, and then plant other crops, which can increase the yield.

"Boy, soybeans can't be replanted, grandpa plans to plant some beets and peanuts next year, can you make fried peanuts?"

A white and chubby little guy nodded vigorously, with a smile on his face, and took the initiative to reach out, pressed Yang Yiqing's old face, kissed him fiercely, and wiped his saliva vigorously after separation.

provoked Yang Yiqing to laugh again!

"Okay, what a good boy, much better than your father...... Let's go, take your eldest brother, let's go home! ”

As the sun set, Yang Yiqing, who was already faltering, walked with a smile, his hand holding a chubby child. Behind them was a huge brown bear, with a bamboo basket on its back, filled with soybean seedlings, and covered with pods, which were not yet ripe, but could be cooked for wine.

It was clear that the bear was not a lover of work, and whenever he wanted to stop, he would throw a piece of jerky out of the fat boy's pocket.

There is no way, we bear people will never be slaves, unless we eat and live!

A pot of old wine and a plate of edamame have already satisfied Yang Yiqing.

"Boy, your dad is still tossing! Sooner or later, one day, he will find that the best happiness in the world is in this edamame! ”
