Chapter 431: Connecting the Chu Party (1)
Seeing that the arrangements for the stay of these five people were in place, Liu Ximing was overjoyed.
The places he circled out were all places where the Liu family's forces could stretch out their hands, and with a few of them, it was not difficult to bring these important places into their hands.
As for the selection of officials, it is even less of a problem.
Take a look at these five places that Liu Ximing picked.
Dengzhou and Neixiang County are near Wuguan on Shangluo Ancient Road, Guanghua is the main road connecting Huguang to Hanzhong, and Yangxian County and Xukuo County are connecting Fuluo Road respectively, all of which are places where thieves often have to wander.
In the past few years from the sixth year of Chongzhen to the tenth year of Chongzhen, two or three chief officials have died in these places, and who else is willing to rob it with the Datong Society.
The key is how to keep it secret, to achieve the goal, but not to make people suspicious.
However, on the whole, local affairs are easy to solve, but it is a little difficult for Liu Ximing to want Huang Zonghui and others to stay in Beijing.
Fortunately, after such a while, he also figured out a way, and the dead eunuchs in the palace received such a lot of money from him, and it was time to do something for himself.
Liu Ximing looked at Huang Zonghui and Du Liangji, "Then it will be hard for the two of you to stay in Beijing and deal with it with me." ”
"Very Good"
At this point, the meeting, which was later called the first national congress of the Cosmos Society, finally came to an end, but its far-reaching impact will continue for a long time.
Seeing that there was still some time before dawn, everyone in the Iron and Blood Datong Society, who had been discussing for half a night, hurriedly took a break to replenish their strength.
In his sleep, Liu Ximing entered the space again in a daze.
Unlike the previous situation when he was admitted to Xiucai and Juren, there seems to be some great changes in the space this time.
As his figure appeared in the space, many red rays of light came out of the white mist that originally enveloped the space, heading straight for his body.
However, unlike the previous ones, this time the red light was almost purple.
As the red light was put into the statue of the Ziwei Emperor, the area of the space expanded to 3,200 acres again, and what was even more strange was that the white fog above the original space seemed to have a tendency to fade and dissipate, revealing a starry sky.
Liu Ximing was no longer Wuxia Ameng, and he could see at a glance that there was a Ziwei constellation in this starry sky.
A glittering star appears outside the constellation Violet, seemingly moving closer to the Violet Star.
After watching it for a long time, he couldn't understand the changes, so Liu Ximing had to put it aside, caring about how much the spatial changes could help him.
First of all, it is naturally the help of money and grain, and the space is expanded to 3,200 acres, which means that the output of their own fine weaving will increase to nearly three million horses.
Although the unit price in the market will be reduced due to the increase in shipments, it can also increase the income of the Liu family by about 1 million taels.
Not to mention the space within the land
Other outputs, Liu Ximing's preliminary estimates, can be increased by at least another 1 million taels.
In this way, the financial income of the entire Liu family will reach 3 million taels a year, which is undoubtedly nectar in drought for the Liu family, which is already tight.
This is not counting the cotton cloth that the Liu family is about to produce in large quantities, Liu Ximing has finally settled down in his heart, at least his expansion plan is backed by money.
Another big benefit is the increased space area, which by the way it also increases the storage capacity of the space.
Originally, Liu Ximing was worried about how to bring all the Liu family's fleet to the South China Sea, but now he doesn't have to worry about it.
As for the imperial court, his idea was to take a long vacation after working for a while, and then take advantage of this gap to go to the South China Sea.
After taking stock of his family, Liu Ximing fell into a deep sleep with satisfaction.
However, in Sichuan, thousands of miles away, Dong Fuyu, a high-ranking member of Wudang Mountain, who stayed overnight in the mountains, suddenly woke up.
Since discovering the abnormality in Hanchuan Village a year ago, Dong Fuyu has come to Sichuan alone under the guidance of his brother Lu Shaoqi.
Because there was no specific guidance, he had to search all the way, and now he has only reached the territory of Bazhou, Boryeong Province.
Dong Fuyu, who slept until midnight and woke up inexplicably, pressed his chest with some palpitations, and looked up at the sky.
"The Southwest Star shines brightly, is this another bit of royal spirit?"
Dong Fuyu said to himself while observing the celestial phenomena.
About to wait until the sky was white, Dong Fuyu, who had not slept all night in the second half of the night, got up again and walked towards Bazhou City.
Dong Fuyu didn't find any news in Bazhou City, but he also heard an important news.
It is said that a wealthy family surnamed Liu has recently risen in Shunqing Mansion, and many homeless people in several state capitals have survived because of their families, and I heard that the young master of the Liu family is about to become a big official in the imperial court.
Hearing this news, Dong Fuyu's eyes immediately lit up, and the senior brother made it clear that this southwest star had only appeared for two or three years, but it was somewhat compatible with the Liu family.
For this reason, Dong Fuyu inquired about the address of Liu's house, rented a carriage and headed towards Shunqing Mansion.
When passing by Pengzhou, Dong Fuyu was pleased to find that the closer he got to the state city, the more he could see some people with extraordinary energy, which made him more sure in his heart.
It's just that when he arrived in Liujia Village, he found that the whole village was closed, and outsiders were not allowed to enter, which made Dong Fuyu stumped.
Fortunately, after many investigations in other places in Shunqing Mansion, Dong Fuyu basically determined that the Liu family should be the person they were looking for, and after finding out the Liu family's movements, he embarked on the return journey again.
In the capital, Liu Ximing is already preparing for his first day of work.
Different from the second and third class jinshi, you still need to go through it
In the training process such as observing politics, the first three people are all awarded on the spot, so they can directly take office.
This is mainly because the Hanlin Academy is not a place to deal with government affairs, but more to study the academic history of economics and history, so there is no need for separate training.
After three days of Mu Xiu, he changed into the official uniform of the six-grade cyan heron robe issued by the officials, and Liu Ximing officially went to the Hanlin Academy to report.
The Hanlin Courtyard of the Ming Dynasty is located in the southeast of the Forbidden City, only one or two miles away from the Forbidden City.
When Liu Ximing arrived at the Hanlin Academy, Hu Ning, the head of the Hanlin Academy, immediately sent someone to invite him to the main office of the Hanlin Academy.
Here, most of the officials in the Hanlin Academy had already gathered, which made Liu Ximing feel a little flattered.
At this time, he really realized the political capital brought to him by the reward in front of the Chongzhen Palace.
However, before he could greet his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, a man hurriedly ran in.
"Ladies and gentlemen, someone from the palace said that they were inviting Liu Shi to read a trip to the palace."
Everyone in the Hanlin Academy looked at each other, and many people were even more jealous.
How many years have I been an official in the Hanlin Academy, and I haven't seen His Majesty summoned him alone, how can this Liu Ximing have such a special encounter as soon as he comes, it is really unfair.
Hu Ning, the head of the Hanlin Academy, could see it, he snorted at everyone, waved his hand to Liu Ximing and said: "If you are a scholar, you have the duty to serve the Son of Heaven, hurry up, remember to go to the prince to report later." ”
"Thank you, Bachelor", Liu Ximing bowed to Hu Ning with a grateful face, and then bowed his hand to everyone in the courtyard and followed out of the Hanlin Academy.
In the Qianqing Palace, Liu Ximing, who arrived in a hurry, found that there were already other people in the palace.
This person is dressed in a red official uniform, full of heaven, with a wide face and big ears, giving people a feeling of elegance and loyalty.
"Minister Liu Xi ordered to meet Your Majesty."
Chongzhen sat behind the throne with an excited face, and when he saw Liu Ximing coming in, he directly beckoned and smiled: "Liu Qing, quickly excuse me, I will introduce you to someone." ”
He turned his head to look at the official in the hall and pointed at Liu Ximing and said with a smile: "Yang Qing, this is Liu Qing, the new Anbo and Hanlin Academy attendants who recommended you to me." ”
Chongzhen got up from the dragon chair and stepped down from the throne with some excitement.
"I know today that there are indeed heroes who see the same thing, Liu Qing once offered me the strategy of encircling the thieves, and today Yang Qing will offer four positive and six corners, if it weren't for the fact that the two of you haven't met, I really want to think that you have discussed, hahaha."
It turned out that this person was Yang Sichang, Liu Ximing flashed the name of the elegant official in front of him in his mind, and hurriedly leaned over and bowed, "I've seen Yang Shilang." ”
Yang Sichang looked curious while observing Liu Ximing, and said with a smile: "Liu Shiyu doesn't need to be polite, I didn't expect Liu Shiyu to have such an opinion on military affairs, and Yang felt that he was not alone." ”
