The situation in Nanjing City can't escape Xu Changqing's eyes.

After the main force of the Qing army retreated, two secret reports were sent to him every day in Nanjing, one in the morning and one in the evening, and there would be an urgent if there was an emergency.

But Xu Changqing was not in a hurry to play with the state of Nanjing City.

The main thing is that this kind of thing can not be changed in one place at a time, and it is very likely that it will not have any good effect, but will make things worse.

The truth of 'Dayu to control the water' Xu Changqing has long been very proficient.

Speaking of which, it's not all Confucius's pots, and there are still a lot of positive things left by Confucius.

Truly hateful!

It is the person who borrows the legacy of this sage, uses the right to speak, and wantonly distorts it, so as to achieve their ulterior purposes!

This kind of struggle, which has been accumulating for a long time, must not be rushed, and will certainly be a long process.

Just like the grandfather Zhu Yuanzhang who did Hu Weiyong and Lan Yu back then, even if it is Lao Zhu's foundation, he needs to endure and plan for a long time.

Xu Changqing's top priority is to focus on military affairs.

The latest news from the front today is that the main force of the Qing army has passed Linqing at this time, and the forwards have even left Shandong, that is, many Han slaves have arrived near Linqing.

The efficiency is simply breathtaking.

Of course, the reason why the Han slaves ran so fast was also because the Qing army had been carefully screened.

In the past, the Qing army captured the population, preferably young women, especially Han Chinese beauties, to meet their various purposes.

After all, Han beauties are basically 'capable and capable', and many of them are diligent and thrifty, and they will definitely not lose money, especially those Mongolian minions and armor-clad people.

But this campaign is different.

The Han slaves left by the Qing army were mostly young and middle-aged men, and the women were basically left to Xu Changqing.

This shows how urgently the Qing Dynasty urgently needed labor to improve productivity at this time.

Although Xu Changqing is a little painful to lose these people, the 400,000 young women in the account, plus the hundreds of thousands of men and women in Denglai, Xu Changqing will never lose.

In particular, many important industries in the Lianghuai region have been plowed and cleared, and Xu Changqing will undoubtedly have more leeway.

However, Xu Changqing will not develop the industry of Lianghuai by himself, at least half of the profits will be given to the imperial court and Nanjing nobles, so that they can do it themselves.

This is Xu Changqing's first killer feature for Nanjing, including the entire Jiangnan!

Now there is a shortage of people in Jiangbei, but there is no shortage of people in Jiangnan.

In fact, since the birth of Chinese civilization, there has been no shortage of people at all......

Xu Changqing only needs to move his lips to enjoy the huge benefits and achieve his political goals, why not?

As for these 400,000 young women, Xu Changqing will definitely not return them to the imperial court, let them go back to their hometown in Lianghuai, and let the interests of these Lianghuai salt farms and fields be relinquished, but can also let the imperial court give these women some subsidies.

These women are a big burden to the imperial court, including Jiangnan, but they are extremely valuable assets for Haicheng, which has begun to focus on emerging capitalism.

After they are placed and put on the track, Haicheng will undoubtedly embark on a new fast lane.

"Dashuai, Yan Shenggong sent someone over and invited you to come over for a banquet in the evening, it seems that there are some gentry and celebrities in Jining and Yanzhou......"

At this time, Zhang Taiping came to report. After resting for the past few days, he has almost recovered, becoming more and more calm, and he looks very good.

"Well, I see, I'll get over when the time comes."

"Yes."

Watching Zhang Taiping leave quickly, Xu Changqing couldn't help but smile.

Kong Yinzhi's work is quite reliable, at least he is still reliable for his own affairs, and the plan is almost on track.

Xu Changqing also happened to use the afternoon time to deal with a lot of complicated military affairs.

At this time, the main camp of the model army had been moved to the north gate of Qufu City, and because the Qing army was in a hurry to retreat, many belongings, including strategic materials, were too late to be transported away, and several hills were piled up in the camp of the model army.

It's a pity, it looks like it's a lot, and it's worth a little money, but the real value is not too high, and it's only a matter of more than ten or two hundred thousand taels of silver.

Dolgon is still a monkey spirit, and most of the more valuable ones have been taken away by them.

Now that the Qing army has withdrawn, it is not a way for the main force of the model army to be cruising outside, it must be known that the troops are at home and abroad, and the consumption is definitely not the same level, which is eaten and chewed every day, even if Xu Changqing has a thick foundation, he is a little unbearable.

Now the model army retreats and returns to Haicheng is Xu Changqing's top priority.

However, there are many tricks in retreating!

Whether it was Qufu, Jining, or Yanzhou, which had begun to recover and rebuild, Xu Changqing had to personally plan and arrange personnel to gradually penetrate the influence of the model army more deeply into these areas.

To put it bluntly, it's to install people!

However, it can't be too obvious and active, and these people have to beg Xu Changqing.

Therefore, Xu Changqing has to personally talk to these sons and daughters for a good chat and talk carefully.

……

As night falls, the lights come on.

Xu Changqing, under the escort of five hundred personal soldiers, came to an ancient restaurant in Qufu City in an orderly manner.

accompanied by Funing Hou Zhu Guobi, who had just arrived.

As the carriage stopped, Zhu Guobi, who had already understood Xu Changqing's intentions, hurriedly got out of the carriage like a eunuch and helped Xu Changqing open the curtain.

Outside the restaurant, Kong Yinzhi cooperated with dozens of Kong family members and gentry from all over the surrounding areas of the fifty or sixty, and had been waiting here for a long time.

"Haha, Master Hou, I really haven't seen you for a day, like every three autumns. Master Hou, your demeanor is also better than yesterday. ”

Kong Yinzhi had already understood the benefits of a tacit understanding with Xu Changqing at this time, and as soon as he saw Xu Changqing, he hurried to meet him, and his old face was full of smiles.

"Grandpa, you love it. Hehe, these colleagues are the gentry and celebrities around our Qufu and Jining, right? ”

Xu Changqing greeted Kong Yinzhi, and did not forget the gentry and wealthy families around him.

As Xu Changqing's eyes looked at them, these gentry and wealthy families were slightly commotion, and they couldn't stop greeting Xu Changqing excitedly.

They had heard of Xu Changqing's name for a long time, but this was the first time they had actually seen it.

Xu Changqing didn't seem to disappoint them.

Not only is it tall and mighty, but the kind of strong confidence and momentum from the inside out makes them more down-to-earth.

In addition, there is a purple robe, Zhu Guobi, who is also mighty and extraordinary, which pushes Xu Changqing's prestige to a higher level.

A group of people chatted for a while, and then they bustled into the restaurant.

This restaurant is called Matsutsuki Hug.

Needless to say, it is also the industry of the Confucian family, which is a big business.

It is said that this huge building complex covering an area of dozens of acres was built in the Northern Song Dynasty when Zhenzong, and there is still an inscription of Zhenzong.

Perhaps in order to show off with Xu Changqing, but also to increase his weight, Zhenzong's wise saying "There is a golden house in the book, and there is Yan Ruyu in the book", Kong Yinzhi also brought it over at this time, and he said that he was famous for everyone to appreciate.

When everyone saw this word, they almost felt like they were about to explode, and they were amazed.

Even Xu Changqing was a little shocked.

Poke him a grandma drop, in the past and present life, I have heard this sentence for almost a lifetime, but it is the first time I have seen the real thing.

I have to say that the background of the Kong family is by no means within the reach of ordinary people.

To a large extent, this should also be the only No. 1 scholar clan in China that has really been handed down and circulated very clearly for thousands of years.

Seeing Xu Changqing's expression, Kong Yinzhi was also extremely satisfied, and secretly leaned into Xu Changqing's ear and said in a low voice: "Master Hou, this painting is really a bit special, otherwise it would be okay to give it to you." However, the old man also prepared other gifts for Hou Ye, including a pair of Mi Fu Mi everyone's true handwritings, wait, please also Hou Ye you have a good appreciation. ”

"Grandpa, you're out of sight. You and I are brothers, like brothers and sisters, communicate together! ”

It's a bastard to have a good idea and not to take possession.

Especially for a big dog like the Kong family, Xu Changqing will not be polite.

The two looked at each other, and they couldn't help but smile, everything was silent.

At this time, a servant came over to inform him that the wine and food were ready and ready to be seated, and Kong Yinzhi hurriedly invited Xu Changqing to take the lead in the table.

Although it was a difficult time at this time, the foundation of the Confucian family was placed here, and the banquet was still quite rich, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, and running on the ground, there was almost everything, and I am afraid it was not much worse than the imperial meal.

Lu cuisine was the chief of national cuisine at this time, and the person who cooked the banquet at this time was a master of Lu cuisine who was good friends with the Kong family, and it was almost instantly forgotten.

Because there is a meeting, the meal is not in a separate box, but in the hall.

Of course, at this time, except for Xu Changqing and the gentlemen, there was no one else in the hall.

After this moment of deliberate warm-up, the atmosphere was almost the same, and everyone subconsciously looked at Xu Changqing.

Xu Changqing smiled, cleared his throat, picked up the wine glass, and looked around the crowd warmly: "Everyone, everyone, speaking of which, Changqing has long wanted to have a good communication with you, but because of the turbulence of the current situation, we have never had time. Today, by virtue of the good intentions of the Holy Father, Changqing will borrow flowers here to offer Buddha, and I would like to toast you with a cup! ”

"Master Hou, you are too polite, the old man will do it first as respect."

"Master Hou, the students are here to wish Master Hou a dragon and a tiger, and a good run for thousands of miles......"

"Lord Hou......"

These wealthy gentry were deliberately selected by Kong Yinzhi, basically covering the essence of Lunan and the surrounding areas, and these people are more beautiful than the other.

The atmosphere of Xu Changqing personally bringing the first glass of wine quickly became up, and then he also came to Zhu Guobi's stage.

With Xu Changqing sitting down calmly, Zhu Guobi and Xu Changqing made eye contact, stood up with a smile with a wine glass, and said loudly: "Everyone, by borrowing the treasure of our Yan Holy Father, and also by the glory of the Marquis of Haicheng, Zhu Mou will be here to offer ugliness." ”

Everyone had already learned some details before, and seeing that they had started to serve 'meat dishes' so soon, they were all clever and quickly gathered their spirits.

Zhu Guobi is now Xu Changqing's hardcore dogleg, completely Xu Changqing's mouthpiece, and he has long forgotten the little dirty relationship with Xu Changqing before, but he is a fox and a fake tiger, and he is proud of it.

Seeing that the scene was shocked, Zhu Guobi smiled unhurriedly: "Everyone, Zhu and everyone have known each other before, and there are also people who don't know each other, but today, we are all acquainted." Appointed by the Queen Mother and entrusted by the emperor, Zhu has an important matter to talk to you about at this time. ”

After all, he is a wealthy and noble son, Zhu Guobi's demeanor is still not said, and while talking, he bowed his hand in the direction of Nanjing.

The atmosphere in the arena quickly became quiet, and everyone looked at him with blank eyes.

Zhu Guobi seemed to be very satisfied and enjoyed the state at this time, but his face changed to a sad expression: "Everyone, the Tartars went south to my Ming Dynasty this time, it was like a locust crossing the border, and it really caused a heavy loss to my Ming Dynasty." Fortunately, it was the Marquis of Haicheng and the model soldier who turned the tide and successfully resisted the Tartars' soldiers and returned me to the Ming Dynasty! ”

Everyone nodded yes again and again.

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more up, Zhu Guobi also showed a smile on his face: "Everyone, this life is like this." Miserable to miserable, but we have to go on. For example, the Lianghuai region is the core of my salt industry in the Ming Dynasty, and now, it is already messy by the Tartars, but my people in the Ming Dynasty always have to eat salt, right? You'll have to come up with a charter. ”
