The third day of the third month of the leap month.

There was tension in the small main hall, although Zhang Juzheng was still sitting steadily, his face was not very good-looking, and the only servant he brought was already scolding Huai.

Qian Yuan pursed his lips and made a look, and Zhang San went up with a slap.

Well, the slap fanned out three teeth, and the servant covered his mouth and lay on the ground, and in a moment there was a pool of blood on the ground.

Qian Yuan covered his head and was speechless, Zhang San, your eyes are blind! Giving you this look is to make you start beating someone?

"You Seven!" Zhang Juzheng was furious, "Qian Yuan, what do you want to do!" ”

Tour Seven?

Qian Yuan looked at the servants on the ground curiously, this is the Zhang Mansion housekeeper You Qi who was later stammered by countless officials?

"It's just that my uncle and brother will stay for a few more days." Qian Yuan spread his hands again and again, "Zhang San, who asked you to beat someone, don't help people down to apply medicine." ”

"Stay?" Zhang Juzheng flicked his sleeve robe, "That's how your Songjiang Qian family keeps guests?" ”

After breakfast today, Zhang Juzheng is about to go to Ligang, Qian Yuan naturally wants to desperately keep it, the ghost knows if this guy will go to Ligang on the front foot, and the Ming army will start fighting on the back foot.

But he didn't expect Zhang Juzheng to go his own way, and Qian Yuan's persuasion for a long time was useless, and at this time, You Qi jumped out and accused...... Also, one is just a showman, and the other is a two-list jinshi, born in Shujishi, and his identities are very different.

Now it's okay, You Qi was stunned by Zhang Sanyi's slap, and Qian Yuan simply took advantage of the situation to keep Zhang Juzhengqiang.

Seeing Zhang Juzheng enter the study, Qian Yuan turned his head and stared at Zhang San fiercely, originally to sell his favor, but he didn't expect to offend people first!

"No big deal......

"Nothing?" Qian Yuan kicked over, "Let you have a few fewer teeth before you say this!" ”

Zhang San dodged sideways and said flatteringly: "Young master, there is no movement today." ”

"What's going on?" Li Sihu, who didn't know the inside story, looked left and right suspiciously.

"You don't care." Qian Yuan waved his hand, "Li Si, you stare at the study, don't let people out, Zhang San, you stare outside, if there is any news, send it over immediately." ”

But then nothing happened, and Qian Yuan spent the whole day in a state of anxiety, and he began to wonder if there was something wrong with his memory.

Qian Yuan liked history when he was a student in his previous life, and later he was assigned to the propaganda office, and he often read all kinds of history books when he had nothing to do, which was where his confidence in this plan lies.

Qian Yuan knows a lot about the history of the Ming Dynasty, but it is difficult for him to remember when an event happened, and he can often only judge which event is in front and which thing is behind, and the logical causal relationship between the two events.

But Qian Yuan remembered the time of Wang Chen's sneak attack on Ligang very clearly, and the reason was very simple, it was leap March.

Qian Yuan has already calculated according to the current calendar, the last leap March was half a Jiazi ago, and the next leap March is nearly ten years later, and this year's leap March should be the time when Wang Zhi was defeated and went to Japan to establish himself as the king of Hui.

There was no movement until the time came, Qian Yuan in the courtyard sighed and casually pushed open the door of the study.

"Uncle and brother, how many offenses ......"

Before Qian Yuan's words could be finished, Zhang Juzheng had already interrupted, "Lord Zhongcheng wants to do something to Ligang." ”

At this time, Zhang Juzheng had not gone through much tempering, but after all, he was a smart person, and he quickly remembered what he said in the governor's yamen a few days ago, and he was very sure of his accentuated tone: "I guessed correctly." ”

Qian Yuan arched his hand, "Yes, uncle is really ...... keen"

"Okay, there's no need to talk about this kind of scene." Zhang Juzheng waved his hand, "I should have thought of it a long time ago...... Two questions. ”

"Please."

"First, it's a good intention to stop me from going to Ligang." Zhang Ju said expressionlessly: "But why do you want to do it?" ”

"It's not me ......"

"Needless to say, Your Majesty is not strict."

Qian Yuan was speechless and stuck there, and it took a long time before he smiled bitterly: "That guy used to be a thug, and he didn't look at it at all, I was quite ......."

"Okay, I'll be your cook for ten years when I go back to Hangzhou!"

Zhang Juzheng stared at Qian Yuan intently, "Ligang can't go, I will leave for Beijing immediately." ”

"On the books?"

"Hmph." Zhang Juzheng's face looked good, and he stretched out his hand to signal Qian Yuan to sit down.

Qian Yuan sat down with a smile and asked Li Si to change two cups of new tea, he also knew that Zhang Juzheng was just a few jokes, just find a step down.

Taking a sip of tea, Zhang Juzheng waited for Li Si to go out before asking in a low voice: "Second, why did you appear in Ningbo?" ”

Qian Yuan squinted his eyes and lowered his head slightly, curling his fingers and tapping on the edge of the teacup.

"How do you know that the governor is going to attack the port? And also know the exact time? Zhang Juzheng asked, "What do you want to do?" ”

"That's four questions." Qian Yuan laughed and said, "I don't know the specific time, just in case I protect you, uncle, does this favor count?" ”

"It's really worth being a businessman for a few months." Zhang Juzheng scoffed, "I thought about it carefully, that day in the governor's yamen, you didn't seem to approve of attacking Ligang?" ”

"Of course not." Qian Yuanyun smiled lightly: "It's okay to say that the attack on Ligang is defeated, but it's just that it ruined the career of this Lord Zhongcheng, and it's bad if he wins." ”

"Uh...... cough cough cough cough ...... "Zhang Juzheng, who took another sip of tea, was choked, is it still a slightly better result to cut off his career?"

"Regardless of whether Wang Zhi dies or escapes, the uncontrolled Japanese robbers will attack everywhere and plunder the people." Qian Yuan sighed, "Lord Zhongcheng, this is a hornet's nest." ”

"Really?"

"We'll see." Qian Yuan smiled bitterly: "Whether it is the imperial court or Lord Zhongcheng, they all think that if they destroy Ligang and kill Wang Zhi, they can pacify the Japanese ......."

"But actually, without Ligang, those merchants who make a living from trading have no hope, and you expect them to return to the mainland to do those small businesses?"

"Without Ligang, who will those cotton cloths and satins sell to?"

"Without Ligang, what will happen to those farmers who grow cotton and mulberry hemp?"

Zhang Juzheng's cheeks twitched violently, "You mean, they will all become widows?" ”

"Maybe." Qian Yuan shrugged, "Shuangyu Port and Ligang have been destroyed one after another, and the imperial court has completely closed the door to trade, what will those people who have received countless benefits through sea trade in the past few decades do?" ”

Seeing that Zhang Juzheng's face was cloudy, Qian Yuan comforted: "Actually, many people in the southeast coast know this in their hearts, okay, these are none of our business, anyway, the city tax is not in the household department......"

Zhang Juzheng's face showed a painful look, and then turned into determination, "I will return to Beijing immediately." ”

The Gengxu Rebellion three years ago had disappointed the young Zhang Juzheng, and what was about to happen made the young man mature quickly.

Zhang Juzheng knows very well that if you want to do something, you have to stand at a certain height and have the right to speak.

The imperial court's announcement of a ban on the sea was a simple order, but it was likely to plunge the southeast coast into a dire situation, and Zhang Juzheng, who witnessed all this, felt that he was powerless.

"As it should be." Qian Yuan replied casually, wondering in his heart how much influence his more than one month of subtlety would have on the actual ruler of the Ming Dynasty in the future, at least Zhang Juzheng wanted to go to Ligang to have a look, which meant that he was very thoughtful about the rich benefits brought by sea trade, and the biggest problem in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was finance.

The shadow of the candle flickered on the face of Qian Yuan, who was thinking about his thoughts, in Zhang Juzheng's eyes, the young man in front of him had a blurred face, he couldn't see clearly, he knew everything well, but at this time he came to Ningbo, which was not far from Ligang, what did he think?

"Young Master."

Zhang San's whisper came from outside the door.

"What's wrong?" Qian Yuan, who was stunned, asked casually.

"It's on fire!"

The next moment, Qian Yuan bounced up from the stool and rushed out of the door quickly, "On fire?" ”

"It's true!" Zhang San's tone was filled with adoration.

Hearing the footsteps behind him, Qian Yuan turned around and said, "Uncle and brother, tonight is not very quiet, let's rest as soon as possible." ”

Zhang Juzheng stood on tiptoe to look at the dark night, and looked at the excited Qian Yuan suspiciously, "Don't you know the specific time?" ”

"I really don't know." Qian Yuan was too lazy to say, and directly pushed Zhang Juzheng into the study and closed the door, turned around and waved at Zhang San, "Let's start." ”
