Recently, many novelties have appeared in the capital.

Xie Yu hadn't been to the capital for a long time, and he transported a batch of silk from Jiangnan into Beijing, and found that there were many people in the capital who sold it.

It is a scarce commodity, brought by the Franco merchants, and they will not bring too much when they come to Daming.

Walking to the store suspiciously, Xie Yu smiled at him: "Owner, where did you buy the goods from?" ”

The shopkeeper of the store smiled and said, "Vice, if you want to sell it to you, you can avoid inquiring." After saying that, his face darkened.

Those who do business will not easily disclose the source of goods, and will smash their own jobs.

Xie Yu knows the rules.

After the owner left, Xie Yu took out a tael of silver and secretly stuffed it to the guy in the store: "Brother, where did you get this money from?" ”

The man glanced back and whispered: "Liangxiangjin, I advise you not to go, there are homeless people, and it has long become a den of bandits, listening to the shopkeeper, he has encountered bandits several times, and it took a lot of silver to get out." ”

Xie Yu felt strange, the person put it back, why did he even put the goods back?

Could it be that the bandits don't know the goods and don't know the value?

When he transported silk from Jiangnan to the capital, he would also encounter bandits, and he had some experience, but he was afraid, but he was not as afraid as ordinary people.

I asked other small workers, and they also said that they were purchased from Liangxiang.

Xie Yu went back to the inn to hide the softness, and decided to take the two guys to Liangxiang.

The road from the capital to Liangxiang County is a little far, and after walking for more than an hour, there is no human figure in the official road in the dense forest, and it is easy to be robbed.

As I walked, I found a tattered sedan chair in front of me, and it seemed that I was going to Liangxiang too.

Xie Yu hurriedly followed.

The sky was shining brightly and the breeze was gentle.

Yan Chengjin came to Liangxiang County in a sedan chair, and inadvertently, he saw from the rearview mirror that there was a middle-aged man with a suspicious appearance who chased after him with two guys, "Go and ask, why do you want to follow Young Master Ben's sedan chair." ”

He Neng trotted over, and after a while, he trotted back: "Young master, I am from the capital, I want to go to Liangxiang, I am afraid of encountering bandits, and I want to go with us." ”

"Well, let them stay thirty paces apart." Yan Chengjin frowned.

Where there are bandits in Liangxiang, it is purely unscrupulous profiteers spreading rumors.

After the old godfather sold in the capital, there were bold profiteers who came to Liangxiang County and purchased a lot of goods, Yan Chengjin thought that they would return to the capital to publicize it.

Who knows that not only do they not publicize, but they spread rumors.

Tens of thousands of homeless people poured into Liangxiang County, and there were countless rumors, some people said that the homeless people occupied the land and became bandits, and there were even more exaggerated, saying that the county commander Zhang Xian had already been cut into eight sections by the homeless people, and was ready to rebel.

There are a large number of displaced people gathered in Liangxiang, so they dare not come.

Only a small number of businessmen know that Liangxiang has long become a place of Taobao.

Yan Chengjin decided to refute the rumors three days later.

When I arrived at the boundary of Liangxiang, I had a new look as far as I could see.

Those countless grass huts have been ordered by Zhang Xian to move to the southwest corner of Liangxiang.

Xie Yu entered Liangxiang and looked at everything in front of him, the shops were lined up neatly, the streets were dilapidated, but they were very clean, and the rumored homeless people could not be seen, only some merchants were shopping for goods.

The plaque reads "Optical Store", and when he walked into the store, he saw that it was neatly placed on the shelves, "What is this?" ”

"This is a monocular, look like you are the owner from the capital? If you want to buy it or not, it will be cheaper for you. The shopkeeper greeted.

Looking at those merchants, Xie Yu understood that those proprietors in the capital lied to the people that this was a place of banditry, but they secretly came to buy goods.

"How much silver, can I get it on credit?"

The shopkeeper smiled: "The owner, who are you looking for when you run away from the villain?" ”

Xie Yu was so angry that she scolded her grandmother.

These pit people's dogs caused him to hide the silver taels in the capital, and he didn't bring a dime with him at the moment.

Yan Chengjin came to Liangxiang Yamen.

Zhang Xian said a little angrily: "As an imperial historian, you are picketing the government and the opposition, why don't you impeach and refute rumors!" ”

Those businessmen in the capital spread rumors, and said that he was cut into eight sections, and the more it spread, the more outrageous it became.

"Impeachment, be cautious."

Yan Chengjin resettled the exiles in order to gain the trust of Emperor Hongzhi.

This thing is much more useful than the gold medal for avoiding death.

Although Emperor Hongzhi also trusts him now, for the sake of prudence, the more the better.

Now he is not a member of the cabinet men's group, and his debut is even more 108,000 miles away.

Emperor Hongzhi cared about the exiles and taxes in summer and autumn.

In addition to earning silver, Yan Chengjin also wanted the imperial treasury to receive silver and unify the commercial taxes of the Ming Dynasty.

It's like unifying weights and measures.

But this is extremely difficult, it will hurt the interests of the gentry and tax supervisors, and even Wang Busui is unwilling, so he has to think of a way.

Naturally, he couldn't rush to the front, Zhang Xian was stunned, but it was extremely suitable.

"In two days, the official will refute the rumors, you don't have to worry." Yan Chengjin Road.

In the past two days, there were many gentry from the capital who came to Liangxiang County, but none of them were willing to stay here to rent a shop.

Because Liangxiang County uses the new system, the commercial tax silver, while the capital still uses the old system, and the delivery of goods is OK.

The gentry would rather bring their goods back to the capital to sell, deceiving the people that this is a place of banditry rather than staying in a good country.

Early the next morning, Zhu Houzhao was tired of staying in the palace, and came to Yan's Mansion to have fun when he was bored.

Yan Chengjin was about to go to Liangxiang.

"Lao Gao! As soon as the Hongu saw the sedan chair, he knew it was you. Zhu Houzhao's grinning voice came.

Yan Chengjin had a dark face: "Your Highness ran out of the palace again?" ”

"When the palace saw that you didn't enter the palace for a few days, he came out on horseback, what are you going to do?" Zhu Houzhao blinked.

"The minister is not going anywhere, His Highness should go back to the palace."

Yan Chengjin got off the sedan chair, returned to the house, and saw that Zhu Houzhao was gone, before going to Liangxiang.

Who knew that he saw Zhu Houzhao in Liangxiang......

Zhu Houzhao was obviously a little angry: "Didn't you say that you won't go anywhere!" ”

This guy must have inquired about the secret whistle of the Jinyi Guard.

"To tell you the truth, the minister has found the fifth warrior to assist His Highness." Yan Chengjin bowed seriously.

Zhu Houzhao blinked his eyes and looked at Yan Chengjin warily.

After a while, we arrived at the Liangxiang Yamen.

Yan Chengjin reminded: "This is His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhang Xian, you don't hurry up and salute." ”

Zhang Xian had never seen Zhu Houzhao, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Minister Zhang Xian, see His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

Yan Chengjin said to Zhu Houzhao: "This is Liangxiang Zhixian, Zhang Xian, and the warrior that His Highness is looking for." ”

Zhu Houzhao looked at Yan Chengjin suspiciously, and then at Zhang Xian, unhappy: "Old Gao, how do you feel that this palace feels that warriors can pick it up casually on the street?" ”

Yan Chengjin said: "Your Highness doesn't know that Lord Zhang has placed tens of thousands of displaced people in Shuntian Mansion, and his talent is not as simple as it seems. ”

Zhu Houzhao pinched Yan Chengjin's neck: "You fool the palace, the palace is not angry, the palace is angry that you fool the palace in front of outsiders, and the palace will be very shameless." ”

Your brain is caught in the ass of a donkey, and you have to pay attention to the layout when you are fooled.

Zhu Houzhao calmed down: "What exactly do you want to fool this palace for?" ”

"The minister wants His Highness to ...... Took him. ”

Zhang Xiantou is very iron, but the official position is a bit small, and Liangxiang County is the birthplace of the new tax law, so he has to find a backer for him.

Yan Chengjin was a little worried, Zhu Houzhao was extremely smart, and when he didn't want to be fooled, he wouldn't listen to anyone.

Zhu Houzhao hesitated, took out a booklet from his arms, and handed it to Zhang Xian with some disgust: "Before the palace verifies your identity, I will give you a pending decision." ”

"............" Zhang Xian looked confused.
