The sky was bright, and he didn't hear the roosters, but the noise on the street made Hu Yingjia wake up slowly, and he was stunned for a while, he got up and washed silently, recalling the experience of going south in his mind, and had to admit that he was not that opponent at all, no matter what aspect it was.

Hu Yingjia has been reading poetry and books since he was a child, and many Confucians have taught him to dare to speak up and do things.

The evaluation of "unparalleled sharpness" is, in other words, "lost to rigidity".

In fact, Qian Yuan also had a similar evaluation in Beijing, but it was around the 35th year of Jiajing, which existed among middle and low-level officials.

But Hu Yingjia didn't return to Beijing for a long time, and the impression of Qian Yuan in his mind was still the image of kicking Zou Yinglong into the air twice.

"My lord, some porridge?" The handyman smiled at the door and said, "There are also soy milk, bean brains, steamed buns, buns, and noodles." ”

"Whatever you want." Hu Yingjia got up and went downstairs and bumped into a small official from the household.

"Lord Hu, Lord Zhongcheng is back in Hangzhou today......"

"Go ahead." Hu Yingjia's face sank, "Ouyang will be in the office for two years, and he can still be reinstated as the secretary of the criminal department." ”

After witnessing Qian Yuan's status in the southeast, Hu Yingjia felt that Tan Lun, the governor of Zhejiang, was only afraid of Qian Yuan's merits.

The handyman served two fritters, a bowl of bean brains, and two meat buns and vegetarian buns, Hu Yingjia tasted the bean brains, yellow, white, black, green, and red colors were mixed together, and when he smelled it, there was a fresh bean fragrance, and his appetite was great.

The little official who was also drinking tofu brain on the side chatted with his colleagues and laughed: "This is still from the Qian family restaurant, and it tastes really good." ”

"The Qianjia restaurant in the capital doesn't seem to have a ......"

"It's true, but there is one in the small kitchen of Suiyuan, and Lord Chen mentioned it."

Hu Yingjiaden felt that it was not fragrant, pushed the bowl, got up and went out.

It's been two days since he arrived in Zhenhai, and Hu Yingjia hasn't gone out much, after all, the matter of trade has nothing to do with him, and it's lively there, and he doesn't bother to dislike people...... Seeing that he was unhappy, he wanted to say it, but if there was a loophole in his words, Qian Yuan stabbed him one by one, and he couldn't dodge.

————

But I was going out today, and Hu Yingjia didn't ask anyone to follow, and the gang of people who went south in Beijing ...... should all see off Tan Lun at the city gate.

After thinking about it, Hu Yingjia specially walked to the east of the city, although it was only morning, but the street was already full of people, the shops on both sides of the road had already opened, pedestrians from this shop to that shop from time to time, and the shopkeeper was still chasing and shouting behind.

Hu Yingjia has only seen such a commercial market in Nanjing, Linqing, Suzhou, Hangzhou and other important commercial towns, and he turned a corner and changed a street, which is similar.

Pedestrians on the street are hurrying, and official words with accents from all over the world are sounding in every corner from time to time, and it is rare to see people like Hu Yingjia walking slowly.

Hu Yingjia is not the kind of official who can only show off his tongue, not to mention that his brother, father, and ancestors are all from Jinshi, and they have all been pro-people officials in the local area for a long time.

Hu Yingjia was keenly aware that although people came and went, it looked chaotic, but in fact it was in order, pedestrians walked on the right, leaving a road in the middle for horse-drawn carriages and ox carts, and there were village warriors and handymen holding small red flags at the crossroads to command.

Standing there and watching for a while, Hu Yingjia continued to walk eastward, the shops were getting fewer and fewer, and the flow of people was gradually decreasing, but he hadn't seen the city wall, and he walked for another quarter of an hour, so he couldn't help but find a pedestrian and asked, only to know that it would take at least two quarters of an hour to walk to the gate of the east city.

After a little estimation in his heart, Hu Yingjia couldn't help but smack his tongue, although it can't be compared with the inner city of Nanjing, but it is really unimaginable that an inferior county has such a scale.

"It's all planned by Lord Yin and the governor of Longquan Gong and the predecessor Sun Zhixian, and Song Tongzhi started to build the new city last year, and it has not been completed yet." The pedestrian looked like a young scholar, and proudly boasted: "Only in terms of counties, it is difficult for the world to be on the right side of Zhenhai." ”

"Like a city ...... flying"

"That was what Hou Taoshan said when Hou Taoshan set up a city to trade last year, and Nanjing Jinyiwei investigated it." The young scholar smiled: "At that time, it was not as grand as it is now. ”

"What Jin Yiwei said is also spread all over the streets and alleys?" Hu Yingjia said with a smile.

"Naturally, no, it won't be anywhere else, but this is Zhenhai!" The young scholar raised his head and said, "Sneaky, sneaky...... As a result, he was almost stewed by the Qian family's guards! ”

Hu Yingjia smiled and said, "I heard that the Qian family guards the elite armor in the southeast? ”

"That's natural, Hou Taoshan fought a battle, more than 100 Qian family guards lined up like a mountain, and more than 1,000 bandits attacked several times and were helpless." The young man said with a suspicious look in his eyes.

Hu Yingjia pretended not to see it, and asked again: "Can my friend go to school?" ”

Seeing that the scholar hesitated, Hu Yingjia smiled and said: "This official Jiajing has been a scholar for thirty-five years. ”

The young scholar was overjoyed, "Could it be Suiyuan Sun Wen and Sun Senior?!" ”

Sun Ling has been in charge of Zhenhai Zhi County for half a month, and his background in Suiyuan has long been known to everyone in the county.

Hu Yingjia's face froze, neither admitting nor denying it, and casually asked about Jingyi, and the young scholar reluctantly answered, intermittently, obviously struggling.

"Seniors, a few years ago, there was no family at home, so I could only abandon my studies, and it wasn't until last year that I opened business, and life was much better." The young gentleman looked depressed.

"I'm still young, I've been studying for a few years, but I can give it a try." Hu Yingjia encouraged a few words, and then asked: "How many city gates are there in Zhenhai County?" Which gate is the gate for the daily entry and exit of goods? ”

"There are only two gates in the west and south of the old city, and the new city has been expanded in the past two years, with one east and one east and one north city gate, and three south city gates, two of which enter the cargo vehicle, and the other is only for pedestrians to enter and exit."

Hu Yingjia nodded slightly, didn't leave his name and left straight away, thinking that it was no wonder that Qian Longquan had such a reputation in the southeast.

After going around two circles, his calf was faintly sore, Hu Yingjia walked not far from the gate of the south city, calculated the direction, and entered Zhenhai County that day from the east city gate, and the south city gate faced the Yongjiang River.

Turning the corner, Hu Yingjia paused, as far as the eye could see, there were dense crowds, mules and horses, all kinds of vehicles flowed endlessly, vehicles carrying goods entered from the city gate on the left, vehicles out of the city drove out from the right, and the formal city gate in the middle was specially used for people to enter and exit.

After a few steps forward, a huge noise rang in my ears, and the shouting of the officials, the neighing of mules and horses, and the shouts of the passing crowd were mixed together, making everyone hoarse when they spoke.

Hu Yingjia took a closer look and saw that the three squads in charge of the city gate were all military soldiers, with long knives on their waists, and spears leaning against the city wall, but there were no bamboo baskets around them.

This also means that there is no need to pay capitation money when entering and leaving Zhenhai County, and even goods do not need to pay taxes.

I managed to blend in with the crowd and slowly move forward, and after a while I got out of the city, the dock was not near here, and I had to walk east for a while.

Hu Yingjia did not go east, but found a small hillside to look out from afar, the small boats of Wupeng shuttled back and forth flexibly on the river, and the merchant ships of large and small were docked at the wharf in turn under the command, or unloaded or loaded on ships, and the dense crowd of people was as orderly as ants.

Looking back at the south city gate, Hu Yingjia's expression was a little complicated, although he was the same year as Qian Yuan, but the official eunuch family did not have any contact with the Suiyuan scholars before and after the examination.

At the beginning of this year, Xu Jie's willingness to transfer back to Beijing to join the official department was in the middle of the matter, Hu Yingjia had many contacts with Wu Shilai, Xu Fan and others, and under their influence, Hu Yingjia was very unconvinced by Qian Yuan...... The opening of the sea to ban trade is just to make money.

Now I see, the sails on the river are like clouds, analogous to the Qing banknote pass, and the city gate is like a stream, not allowing the Chongwen gate to pass the banknote.

Linqing and Chongwenmen are the most important and lucrative banknotes in the Ming Dynasty, and they can be tossed to this point in Zhenhai from scratch, Hu Yingjia suddenly sounded Lu Guangzu's evaluation of Qian Yuan.

"Anything else, this man has a talent for helping the world."
