Liu Xin left Luoyang to give lectures in Jiangnan, and the news soon spread to the Luoyang Lingfu Office.

"This trouble, it's finally gone." The director, Pan Shaowei, rarely showed a relaxed expression, "Report to the prefect." ”

Pan Shaowei handed over the official letter to his subordinates, and said to his colleagues with satisfaction: "That Liu Xin has gone to Jiangnan!" ”

"Great." A voice of joy sounded in the signing room, "The trouble is finally gone!" ”

A smile appeared on everyone's faces, and Chief Pan was usually very strict, but at this time he only looked at this scene with a smile.

It's no wonder that these scribes gloat, but the pressure brought to everyone by this scholar Liu is too great.

Liu Xin is also a scholar of the Academy of Literature and Dictionaries, and his ink bamboo, cursive script, and Han Yuefu poems are known as the "Three Uniques". But this person is uneasy about his duty, and he deduces the way of what people want to be better than the principles of heaven, which is diametrically opposed to the concept of ordinary Xia people. "Don't ask what the camp did for you, ask what you did for the camp first." This is a perennial verbal phrase of the sergeant, and it is also the standard of conduct for everyone. The camp is the foundation of the Xia people's livelihood. However, Liu Xin said that this completely reverses right and wrong, if there is no sergeant, every people, there is no camp. For the camp to be "selfless", but what is the camp? And what is the "Grand Duke"? If the level is pushed up, it will be pushed to "the whole world, it is not the king's land; On the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister, "the old road of enslaving the people of the world by one person."

"It would be better if he was from the Song Kingdom, but he was still from our Xia Kingdom."

The scribe Qi Qi sighed: "The water and soil in Guanzhong, the education of Chang'an, how can you raise such a guy who does strange things." ”

"It's okay if it's a market vendor, but it's a university scholar." He shook his head, "Then again, this ink bamboo surnamed Liu Feibai is really a must, and it is difficult to find a piece of gold, but his eyes are above the top, and he is good at asking for calligraphy and painting, but he thinks that he is shirking, saying that calligraphy and painting are just stubs, and then he only cares about peddling his heresy." ”

"It's okay for him to stay in Guanzhong honestly, but he just got to Luoyang."

Ye Ren took an iron pen and knocked the Chengni inkstone tinkling, and said with a smile: "It makes the people of Luoyang think that our Kansai is a barbarian state." ”

He had a look of disgust on his face. Once on Yaji, because he was also a relation, he was sneered at by the scholars of the Dongren Society. Because of Liu Xin's status as a bachelor, Ye Ren was embarrassed to draw a line with him, but he was ashamed in his heart. "It's okay now, this nightmare is going to plague Jiangnan." Ye Ren thought with relief, "When will I go to the Yaji again?" ”

"It's okay if he came to Luoyang to preach heresy," Pan Shaowei sneered, "but he shouldn't have harassed Mrs. Shangzhuguo again." ”

"That's right, Scholar Li is a woman's family, for the sake of his colleagues in the bachelor's house, it is not good to save his face, people are clean and self-conscious, but after all, the gossip outside has spread, if it reaches Zhao Zhuguo's ears, his husband and wife are not harmonious, or Zhao Zhuguo has any suspicion against me because of this, in a fit of anger, it is possible for thousands of people to roll around. Hmph, 'act recklessly, return to its true nature', this Liu University is chic, and when the time comes, the board of the Prime Minister's Mansion is not going to hit our Luoyang Mansion. ”

"That's what my lord said." "That's right!" "Finally a scourge!" There was a chorus of echo in the signing room.

"News in the morning," Ye Ren stabbed Qi Qi, taking advantage of the opportunity to gossip, and said in a low voice, "Yangzhou's South China Sea coupons have skyrocketed!" ”

"Really?!" Qi Qi raised his eyebrows, "It's really a double happiness!" I knew it was going to go up! ”

"You already knew?" Ye Ren glanced at him with disdain, "Who was crying dad and calling mother a few days ago, looking for someone to get rid of everywhere?" ”

Both of them bought the Nanhai coupons through the Luoyang branch of Fuhaixing, but in fact, what they had in their hands was only the voucher voucher of Fuhaixing, and the real Nanhai coupons were held by Fuhaixing's branch in Yangzhou. Some time ago, Yangzhou Nanhai coupons plummeted, and Fuhaixing only sold them in Luoyang, no matter how much they bought, if no one accepted them, the Nanhai coupons would be smashed in their hands. The two of them really beat their chests, and Qi Qi also complained to Ye Ren a lot, but because of this, the South China Sea coupons were all held intact in their hands, and they finally waited for the day when they skyrocketed.

............

The naval battle of Guangzhou was a great victory, a great victory in the fire attack, and tens of thousands of pirates were forced to land by artillery bombardment.

The good news of the South China Sea sailors came to Yangzhou one after another, adding fuel to the fire, and the entire Yangzhou market was boiling. From the first day of the news of Guangzhou's victory, no one in Zhengxintang sold the shares to the princess's mansion, and the eldest princess of Wu took the opportunity to remove the trading seat of the South China Sea bonds purchased in Zhengxintang. The price of the South China Sea Coupon also rose wave after wave with the news of the sailor's victory.

"Well, in a few days, it doubled again!" Xiao Qi grabbed Xiao Shi Niang's hand and said loudly, "It's more expensive than before!" ”

"That's good," Xiao Shi Niang looked at him with a smile, "Brother, just take it." ”

"Okay, okay," Xiao Qi laughed, "Brother will help you keep it, ...... in the future"

What he means is that with this money, he will marry Shi Niang in a beautiful way in the future. Xiao Siniang blushed and shook off her hand, turned around and turned back to the cabin. Xiao Qi looked at her back, and he was happy. The South China Sea coupons are rising, and the gloomy clouds and mist over the entire Yangzhou have been swept away. Even the business of Caoyun Wharf is much better, indeed, the great victory of the sailor means that the sea route is unimpeded, and the huge needs of the barbarians in the South China Sea and the more distant southwest sea have given them a place to go. And the endless supply of sea treasures in the future has stimulated the thirst for wealth of wealthy businessmen.

"Okay, in charge," Xiao Qi's Hunjia Wu family hunched over, came out of the cabin with a dustpan, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that the Zhengxin Hall is going to issue another ticket, the master, do we want to buy some more?" She was also happy on her eyebrows, although Xiao Qi had always made it clear that the South China Sea coupons she bought earlier were her sister Xiao Shi Niang's money, but they were all a family, Xiao Qi no longer sighed these days, and the Wu family was really happy.

"Oh, you also know," Xiao Qi nodded, "The new ticket is called 'Baohai Ticket', and it is necessary to raise money to set up a South China Sea Dart Company." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Wu was taken aback, "Walking darts, isn't that a big risk?" His face hesitated again.

"You know what?" Xiao Qi smiled smugly, lowered his voice and said, "Do you know who the people in the South China Sea Dart Shop are?" ”

"Who?"

"They are all heroes of the sea who were marquis of Wuchang." Xiao Qigu bit the word "heroic".

Wu also lives on the water all year round, so of course he understands that he is talking about those pirates. "Oh." Wu's face suddenly changed. "Got it." Xiao Qi said in a low voice, "Where is this dart, or is it 'I planted this tree, I drove this road,' won't the South China Sea be the backyard of the dart line in the future?" The passing sea caravans, still have to honestly pay the money for the road? There is also the Marquis of Wuchang standing behind this dart shop, with the support of the imperial court, it is simply a profitable business! He lowered his voice, but he couldn't suppress his excitement and excited tone. When most people are hesitant, rushing to buy a sea coupon is like grabbing money.

"That'...... What do you say? Wu asked.

"A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, of course you have to buy it," Xiao Qi lowered his voice, "Don't make a noise, buy it quietly." ”

…………

At dusk, the light rain stops, the golden sunset falls slowly, and the golden light reflects the ripples of the water of the Grand Canal, like a circle of money.

Yangzhou Caoyun Wharf is a place where three religions and nine streams are mixed, and it is also a well-known gold nest.

The wharf area, the restaurant gambling house, the Washe fence, everything. Fuhailou occupies the most prominent position of Caoyun Wharf.

Fuhai Tower is built on the edge of the canal, backed by Yangzhou City, overlooking the clear and clear river water day and night, the boats from the South China Sea to the north, the waves are exhausted, and the things are not people. Fuhaixing is a well-known big business in the south of the Yangtze River, with great wealth and strong strength, and a wide range of contacts, this Fuhailou is a new industry of Fuhaixing in Yangzhou, so in just one year, the prosperity has not lost to the major stores in Yangzhou. The fourth floor of Fuhai Building is a place where businessmen often go to meet on Caoyun Wharf. This loft is only for regular customers of Fuhai Xing, and it is always full. From time to time, there was a noisy sound of singing and laughter in the Accord, and the single small pavilion was so silent as if there was no one, and the two shopkeepers stood at the door with a cautious face, as if silently telling others that it was the distinguished guests of Fuhailou.

"The South China Sea bond has risen again. Alas, what a great opportunity, just slipped away. ”

It was none other than the shopkeeper of Zhengfu Hailou, Tang Qiantang. However, there was no frustration in his words that the people who sold the South China Sea coupons, but some faint regret. The confinement bends and shines in Kyushu, and a few families are happy and a few are sad. In Yangzhou, and even in the southeast, from time to time there is a sound of "up!" "It's up again!" The voice, some rejoiced, some lamented, and those who still had the South China Sea Bonds in their hands cheered, and the people who successfully sold the South China Sea Bonds some time ago beat their chests. However, for some people, they don't care about the ups and downs of the moment, they care about something else.

"Time, momentum, life," Yan Yuexi gently turned the black porcelain teacup, "Old Tang, why do you care," he looked at Tang Qiantang's stupid face and said with a smile, "Anyway, the Yangzhou branch has made a lot of money this time." Come, how about a taste of the newly arrived Shu tea? While speaking, the teapot water boiled, Yan Yuexi lifted the iron teapot, carefully poured the tea soup into the cup, the hot steam rose, only to see the white mist curling, the air was filled with a special tea fragrance, the tea in the bowl was clear, but it was dark red like a decoction, and a little foam lay on the surface.

"What is this?" Tang Qiantang sighed as he patronized, didn't notice Yan Yuexi making tea, and said in surprise, "Black tea? ”

Black tea is the most resistant to preservation, it is the tea that Shuzhong specially supplies to Tubo, Dali and other barbarian parts, because of the unique flavor, the Central Plains people are not easy to drink, and the price is not expensive. Tang Qiantang knew that Yan Yuexi's favorite was Shuzhong stir-fried tea, but he didn't expect him to bring black tea to entertain him. However, thousands of miles to send goose feathers, always a heart, easy to pick up the tea cup and take a sip, only to feel slightly bitter than Fujian group tea, but after swallowing, it is not cool. The feeling of slippery life and mellow aftertaste should be the top grade in Shuzhong black tea.

"Yes, it's black tea," Yan Yuexi said with a smile, "This is the cargo that Shuzhong has prepared for the South China Sea fleet." ”
