Chapter 110: Passing by
Of course, there is the last time, that is, when Wu Sangui led the Qing soldiers into the customs, Chongzhen was dead at that time, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs under the banner of avenging Chongzhen, yes, you read that right, they did come in under the banner of avenging Chongzhen, and they never left when they came.
Ridiculous no? It's ridiculous, but it's the truth of history.
The population captured here refers to those who can work for them, as for the women and children, the old and weak, it is estimated that they have been killed, it is estimated that every time they enter the customs, no less than millions of people are killed, and several times down, the number of people reduced in the north of the Ming Dynasty is tens of millions, which is too miserable.
At that time, what were Jin merchants doing? The barbarians handed over the stolen gold and silver goods to the Jin merchants in exchange for salt, iron, ordnance and grain, which was equivalent to pumping the blood of the Ming Dynasty to maintain the blood of the barbarians.
The last time the Manchu Qing entered the customs was the final blow to the Ming Dynasty, who was like a bloodied beast, only to fall to the ground with a bang.
Yang Bo calculated the time, and the barbarian's first entry would occur at this time next year.
At that time, the Emperor Taiji raised hundreds of thousands of troops into Longjing Pass, Daankou and other places, and finally conquered Zunhua and Santun camp, almost hit Beijing City, killed countless people along the way, looted countless people, after retreating, handed over the looted goods to the Jin merchants, and the Jin merchants provided them with scarce materials, since then the Jin merchants have been out of control, as an interest group, embarked on the road to rise, the representative figure is a surname Fan, called Fan Yongdou, Yang Bo remembers clearly.
"There's a whole year to go." Yang Bo watched the carriage of Feng Wanli's father and daughter disappear from sight, and said secretly in his heart: "You must find a way to stop them." ”
.......
Feng Wanli leaned on the back of the carriage, closed his eyes and recuperated, and did not speak for a long time.
The seat design of the carriage is quite elegant, in Yang Bo's words, in line with the principle of ergonomics, and the whole person feels very relaxed and comfortable when sitting on it.
"Daddy.." Feng Yawen finally couldn't help it and opened her mouth.
Feng Wanli knew what Feng Yawen wanted to say, but he just waved his hand, his eyes didn't open, and he sighed: "Yang Bo is unfathomable, the stone temple has produced a lot of novelties recently, such as this carriage, my father also took a closer look, this thing can only be made by the stone temple, others bought it, and they can't make it according to the gourd, it's not simple." Yang Bo is not short of silver, he wants to open a money bank, he can open it by himself, he is willing to cooperate with your father, but he takes a fancy to your father and has some connections outside, and his father only has this capital. ”
"In that case, why doesn't my father agree to me being the mountain chief?"
When Feng Wanli heard this, he finally opened his eyes, sat up straight, and said in a solemn voice: "Yawen, you and Wen Can have been married for more than ten years, and you are not young anymore, you understand the truth, how can there be no bumps between husband and wife, Wen Can lost his official position, was stimulated, and his words were a little ugly..."
"Difficult?" Feng Yawen sneered and said resolutely: "I don't want to see that person again." ”
"I blame your mother for this, she is used to beating you, and you can't stand the slightest grievance." Feng Wanli rubbed his eyebrows, sighed for a while, and said bitterly: "Dad is not for your good, have you thought about it, if you don't go back to Haizhou, you will be floating in Shenjiabao like this in the future?" Lonely for life? Dad told you, in that case, the rest of your life will be ruined. ”
"How is it ruined? In the stone temple, the daughter's family earns silver and supports the family. Feng Yawen pursed her lips and argued to herself.
After Feng Yawen finished speaking, she thought for a while, and couldn't help but chuckle, and said happily: "Dad, you don't know yet, Yang Bo once said that Yuefeng, the head of this women's school, is much higher than Zhixian." ”
"You.." When Feng Wanli heard this, he suddenly became irritable, raised his eyes to look at Feng Yawen, his eyes seemed to have a deep meaning, and said: "No, Dad can't let you come nonsense, you have to go back, after lunch, Dad asked someone to send you away." ”
"Dad..."Feng Yawen almost wailed, and actually cried.
However, Feng Wanli had made up his mind and was unmoved, and sure enough, after lunch, Feng Wanli forced Feng Yawen to get into the carriage, and a confidant old servant drove her back to Haizhou with her, even if Feng Yawen had ten thousand reluctances in her heart, it was useless.
After getting into the carriage, Feng Yawen finally calmed down, sat in the carriage in a daze, looked at the snow that flickered by outside the window, and her mind wandered.
In her mind, Zuo Wencan's terrifying face kept flashing, and the words she had said echoed in her ears, and they still sounded so harsh.
She really hated, hated him for doing something unscrupulous to a mediocre girl? It's not worth it.
He is a noble governor, and he has not taken a concubine for more than ten years, and other ladies praise him as a saint, even if he really accepts Cui'er, it is not an exaggeration, after all, Feng Yawen has not been able to give birth to a boy and a girl for more than ten years.
is hate, hates Zuo Wencan is a hypocrite, for more than ten years, husband and wife are affectionate, respectful to each other, and each other, all of which are fake, until he loses his position, he will show the prototype, this is betrayal, by the way, she hates Zuo Wencan's betrayal of her.
But what Daddy said was not bad, speaking of which, Zuo Wencan just said a few ugly words, quarreled between husband and wife, scolded a few words, and from then on they were like passers-by, never to see each other, and it was unreasonable to say it.
After Feng Yawen thought about it, she suddenly despaired, on the one hand, she couldn't forgive Zuo Wencan's betrayal of her, and on the other hand, she really couldn't just pick a son and not be a husband and wife with him.
Could it be that in the future, he can only barely be with Zuo Wencan in despair and live the rest of his life?
Just when Feng Yawen was in a deep delusion, on Yang Bo Road, two carriages drove head-on and passed by her, Feng Yawen didn't know that the car in the lead was sitting on the husband she hated to the bone, Zuo Wencan, Lord Zuo.
In the car behind, Han Zanzhou was sitting, and Han Zanzhou returned from the capital again, with the will of Emperor Chongzhen.
The two carriages stopped in front of the stone temple, and Yang Bo, who got the report, was also taken aback, and hurriedly came out to greet him, Yang Bo had never seen Zuo Wencan, so Han Zanzhou introduced the two, and then said with a smile: "Yang Bo, let's change the carriage for our family, I have been in the carriage of the stone temple, and I am not used to taking other people's carriages, and our family is about to fall apart." ”
Yang Bo laughed, "That's nature, wrap it on me, you two nobles will send one to Deyue Tower today." ”
"Our family and Lord Zuo will go to Deyue Tower to live first, Yang Bo, don't delay, come over immediately, our family has a lot to say, and I want to make trouble with you."
Yang Bo learned that Zuo Wencan's new appointment was down, and it was related to Shen Jiabao, so he didn't have time to ask in detail, but Han Zanzhou and Zuo Wencan didn't plan to stop at the stone temple, and after a few words, they went directly to Deyue Tower, probably all the way, and wanted to wash up, rest for a while, and then talk to Yang Bo in detail.
Zuo Wencan doesn't care, Han Zanzhou is a nobleman, and Yang Bo will naturally not slack off.
Yang Bo waved his hand, seeing that the carriage was far away, let people bring his Chaotian smile over, and he returned to the laboratory, before Han Zan Zhou came, he was discussing with Gan Xin about the installation of windmills near the Xishan Gap, he needed to inform Gan Xin, packed up, and went straight to Deyue Tower.
Yang Bo is still used to riding horses, not to mention the trouble of riding a carriage, it is too slow.
When he arrived at Deyue Tower, the shopkeeper saw Yang Bo riding over, so he approached: "Yang Bo, I heard that you have invested in Wantong Bank?" The old man also wants to join the last share, can I? ”
"Your information is well-informed, five thousand taels and one shares, how many shares do you want?" Yang Bo smiled, walked straight forward, and asked again: "Han Zanzhou, they have arrived?" ”
"You and the nobles from the capital still meet in the old place." The shopkeeper immediately said, "Five thousand taels? It's a little more expensive, the old man can only enter the coffin book, Yang Bo, you have to make a good living, otherwise, the old man is dead, but there is no coffin to hold. ”
Five thousand taels and one shares are also in? really didn't scare the shopkeeper, Yang Bo glanced at the shopkeeper, and pretended to sneer: "It seems that over the years, you have made a lot of money here in Shen Dong's house." ”
"Nonsense," the shopkeeper suddenly exploded, so angry that the white beard under his chin was pouted, glared at Yang Bo, and said proudly: "What is the old man's conduct, Shen Dongjia knows in his heart, the old man is upright and does not shoot the shadow, stealing chickens and touching dogs is the villain's business, and it has nothing to do with the old man, the old man likes silver, it is not that the old man boasts, the old man does not have a tael of silver from the wrong way, Huaixiang Pavilion is an example, the old man was optimistic about you, invested three hundred taels, and now not only returned the principal, but also made a net profit of three hundred taels, this is the old man's ability." ”
"Alright, alright." Yang Bo looked quite impatient, sneered, and said, "Just kidding you, you're not done yet." ”
The shopkeeper was still angry, waved his hand and ignored Yang Bo, and went upstairs with a snort.
Yang Bo was familiar with the road, walked straight forward, and came to the private room, Han Zanzhou and Zuo Wencan had not yet arrived, but there were two little girls with good looks who were already waiting, seeing Yang Bo walking in, he hurriedly made tea, Yang Bo drank tea while secretly thinking about it.
Counting the days, Han Zanzhou returned to the capital from Shenjiabao, did not delay too long in the capital, and returned to Shenjiabao, the itinerary was tight enough, it seems that his trip must have brought Chongzhen's will.
Before the cup of tea was finished, I heard footsteps outside the door, Han Zanzhou and Zuo Wencan arrived, Yang Bo put down the teacup and stood up.
"Yang San'er, you are more anxious than our family." Han Zanzhou pointed at Yang Bo with his hand and walked in with a smile.
"Brother Xiangwen, Lord Zuo." Yang Bo bowed his hand and looked very polite.
Han Zanzhou and Yang Bo are acquaintances and acquaintances, and the two of them don't need to be polite, but they are not familiar with Zuo Wencan, and they still have to do the etiquette they should have.
Zuo Wencan returned the salute, just glanced at Yang Bo, his face was not salty or light, and soon put all his thoughts on Han Zanzhou, bowed slightly, and made a gesture of solemnity, until Han Zanzhou sat down on the main seat, he was willing to take a seat, which can be described as respectful.
