The wealth of the salt merchants in Huai'an still exceeds Hou Xuanyan's imagination, although he is already a person who is used to seeing big scenes, and he has raided countless homes along the way, but it does not add up to as much as this time.

A Huai'an mansion confiscated more than 30 million taels of silver, 1.32 million taels of gold, all kinds of jewelry, mansions, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The wealth of the two Huai salt merchants is famous all over the world, but they are still low-key, and this kind of huge wealth is not expected by the world.

In the late Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen desperately squeezed Liao Xiang from the bitter hands of the north and forced millions of thieves to rebel, but he didn't expect that Jiangnan had raised such fat rice worms. In addition to pleasure, half of their silver was not used for social income, but they were willing to pay a huge amount of money to buy off the Wenchen at that time and exempt them from taxes.

In the office of the governor of Caoyun, Hou Xuanyan flipped through the confiscated account books, looked at the wealth that had turned into numbers, and was still surprised: "So much money? ”

Hong Yixun nodded and said: "Everyone in the world knows that Yangzhou is full of wealthy businessmen, and I never thought that Huai'an was richer than Yangzhou. With so much money, why do you still have to collect money, you can live a fairy life with fine clothes and food wherever you flee, but you have to grovel and do things for the Tartars. ”

"People's greed is always endless, and they want to maintain this pleasure of being rich forever, so they want to hug the thighs of the Manchu Tartars. As everyone knows, the Tartars are the most greedy, and now the world is uncertain whether they can tolerate them to continue to accumulate wealth, if they are really succeeded by the Tartars, the first batch will kill these big-headed merchants first. Hou Xuanyan closed the ledger and sobered himself up from the rich world, so as not to be carried away by money.

Hou Xuanyan was talking, and the spies of the Hidden Elephant Camp escorted six graceful women into the hall, and the fragrance was refreshing in an instant.

In fact, all dynasties and dynasties raided the mansion of the criminal official, and the officials who were responsible for the raid often interrogated the female relatives of the criminal family, if there was a person who could see the color of the appearance, whether it was a lady or an aunt, or a young lady or maid, they could directly serve as the slaves and maids of the officials. If the woman who was taken away can get the favor of the officials in the bedside of the boudoir in the future, even if these women are fished out of the sea of suffering, they will avoid the disaster of overturning the nest.

With Hou Xuanyan's current identity, he can be regarded as a first-class powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, not to mention accepting a few sinners' female dependents as female slaves, even if he fell in love with the daughter of an ordinary official, he just spoke casually, for fear that the family would happily send a small sedan chair into his bedroom.

But in Hong Yixun's eyes, the eldest brother is a good man who stands up to the sky, and he shouldn't do such a thing. He looked at Hou Xuanyan with a complicated expression, and was surprised to find that there was no evil thought in the eyes of his eldest brother.

The daughters of the six wealthy families knelt down and lined up with goose wings, all of them in luxurious Hanfu, and their faces were full of tears at this time, and they looked slightly sad.

Hong Yiyun wanted to speak and stopped, Hou Xuanyan chuckled and said: "You are all the daughters of the Cheng family, you grew up with a golden spoon in your mouth, and you are pampered. Your fathers have committed great sins, fornicating with the enemy, and helping the enemy in the war, which can be described as a heinous crime. Originally, your male dependents over the age of 12 were imprisoned for autumn execution, and under the age of 12 were appointed as palace eunuchs, and female dependents served as military prostitutes. ”

Hong Yixun secretly said in his heart, the eldest brother is really going to deceive people again, the Northern Expeditionary Army has been fighting for so long, where is there such a thing as a military prostitute. Although the six daughters of the Cheng family knew that their family was in trouble, they couldn't help but be upset when they heard that their fate was so miserable. Hou Xuanyan took the opportunity to say: "Now give you a chance, if you want to avoid becoming a military prostitute, you have to listen to me, understand?" ”

The six daughters of the Cheng Mansion were all raised as daughters, and none of them had the shrewdness and ability of their parents. Now I can only be miserable and panicked, although Hou Xuanyan is the big enemy of their family, but I don't dare to disobey the slightest.

Hou Xuanyan saw that they were all six gods and no masters, and said casually: "Now I am specially gracious, remembering that you are young and ignorant, and do not know the ugly things of your fathers in the family, and give you to my old department. You will follow them in the future, and you will serve them well, and it will be in vain for me to have a rare kindness. ”

With a slight wave of his hand, the spies of the Hidden Elephant Camp took the six girls out and detained them in the backyard of Chengfu. Hou Xuanyan said with a smile: "Zheng Zhilong blocked the sea, and our business wizard Gong Laosan in Jiading took two thousand Jiading relics to do nothing on the beach. I'm going to let them come to Huai'an and take over the business of making money for a few days. Money is earned by anyone, so why not do it ourselves. Although Cheng Huang and these salt merchants had a lot of money, they died at that time, and I wanted chickens that lay eggs, not eggs. ”

Hong Yixun was puzzled: "What is the use of the eldest brother wanting these six women?" ”

"You are confused, how big the Cheng family's family business is, their shopkeepers, account offices, and buddies... They are all good at business, and they can't control the amount of capital they can't control, and their own sin is not big. I let Gong Zifang control these women, so that I could take over these people in the name, so as not to be honest and say that I was enriching my own pockets. ”

Hong Yixun muttered: "Big brother, this seems to be a personal filling." Gong Sanye has been treating himself as a member of the Hou family since he set fire to his own compound, and not all the money he earned has been spent on his eldest brother. ”

The three brothers of the Gong family, two brothers died in the city with Hou Dongzeng, and the remaining one worked hard with Hou Xuan. Hou Xuanyan is also a little sad every time he thinks about it, but for Gong Zifang, these are small things, and the most important thing in his heart is to wait for Hou Xuanyan to kill Li Chengdong and avenge Jiading.

"Haha, huh? I can't take care of it, and when the battle is over, I'll free up my hands to reform this part again. To be honest, the whole world is in my hands, what is the use of me being greedy for these small fortunes, it is just a temporary use of some means for the Northern Expedition to have enough food and salary. With his own brothers, Hou Xuanyan didn't have to hide it, and he generously said what he thought in his heart.

-----

On the outskirts of Huai'an, the Huozi Battalion was ready to go, and everyone's faces were full of joy, Hou Xuanyan fulfilled his promise and rewarded the three armies with the money that Wakda had taken away.

The next is to sweep Huai'an Mansion, Huai'an Mansion has jurisdiction over Shanyang, Qinghe, Andong, Yancheng, Taoyuan, Suqian, Shuyang, Suining, Ganyu, Pizhou, Haizhou, nine counties and two prefectures, and many places are controlled by officials stationed by the Qing court. But they have lost the protection of Wakda's army, and they believe that they will soon be captured.

Li Haoxian gave an order, and several of his generals went to the southeast and northwest with their respective men and horses, but it was just a plough court to sweep the caves to regain the lost territory, and Li Haoxian did not go in person.

In the two months of the Northern Expedition, two victories have been fought, and the Eastern Route Army has been advancing all the way.

Although the loyal battalion was pressed in Xiangyang by the four feudal kings, it did not lose the city, and barely held on to the four big traitors in Xiangyang. Hou Xuanyan mobilized the strength of the whole country to transport grain to save Sichuan, and he was also fed. Yang Zhan had already led the Sichuan troops and began to attack Zhang Zongfan, the capital of Kunzhou, relieving a lot of pressure on the loyal battalion. The only thing that caught Hou Xuanyan off guard was the battle situation in the southwest. Zheng Zhilong's strength greatly exceeded his expectations, he thought that Xia Wanchun would be able to drive them back to the sea soon, but who knew that the Zheng family's heritage had completely exploded. It can be summed up in one word, money!

The Zheng family was too rich, Zheng Zhilong took out his family funds, recruited troops and horses in Liangguang, and soon organized a Guangdong army of more than 100,000 yuan. The people of Fujian recognized him from the bones, the banner of the Zheng family in the land of the Minjiang River was planted, and Wu Shengzhao guarded the Ganjiang River without advancing an inch. Coupled with the exceptional reuse of Shi Lang and Li Chengdong, Zheng Zhilong fought back and forth with Xia Wanchun on the front line. If it weren't for the Songjiang Sailors of the Wusongjiang Institute, they would still be competitive, and let the Zheng family sailors drag them along the coast and not act rashly, otherwise they would be even more harmful.

Tusi in various parts of the southwest were also very dissatisfied with Hou Xuanyan's support for Peng Zhuze's revolution in the southwest. But now with Zheng Zhilong, they have found the backbone all of a sudden. Hundreds of Tusi openly and secretly defected to Zheng Zhilong, making his power in the southwest even stronger. Although Xia Wanchun's Hunan soldiers were brave enough, they could not defeat Zheng Zhilong in a hurry.

Hou Xuanyan couldn't have imagined that Zheng Zhilong was so powerful, and in later history, he surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty and lived a life like a dog, what was it for? Could it be that he already knew that Lao Tzu was going to cross and deliberately paralyze me? Thinking of this, Hou Xuanyan had a headache, although he reminded himself vigorously not to use historical descriptions to measure the people of this era, but the strong inertia of thinking still made him look away.

In the next time, Hou Xuanyan passed through Huai'an for a month, and Gong Laosan took his team and received a fragrant gift on the first day he came to Huai'an. After laughing and thanking Hou Xuanyan, he began his career as a salt lord.

The golden autumn and August passed like this.

In Jinling City, today is the day when the new emperor agreed between Hou Xuanyan and the civil and military officials will ascend the throne, and the Duke of Yue Guo is on the march, but such a major event obviously cannot be delayed.

In the Fengtian Palace, the Honglu Temple Praise Officer went out to sing the ceremony, and the horse elixir in the harem was dressed as a female official, with a dignified look and a baby in a yellow robe, and walked slowly into the hall. The little baby seemed to be very attached to her, and his little hands kept shaking to let her play with him, but the elixir looked ahead, overlooking the civil and military officials in front of the hall, without the slightest timidity.

The expression of the Cabinet University Shi Ma Shiying changed, and there was a faint anger in his eyes, but his favorite little daughter, the precious girl who used to always hang on his arm, did not look at him at all this time.

Wang Xiangnian, the chief eunuch of Zhongguan, held the treasure seal with both hands, held it high above his head, and knelt down with hundreds of officials, shouting long live. The little emperor was so frightened that he didn't dare to move, the elixir quietly lowered his head, smiled lightly at her, and the little baby suddenly came alive.

The emperor couldn't speak, and was temporarily represented by a female official, Ma Lingyao held the Son of Heaven in his arms, exercised his authority on her behalf, and said crisply: "Hundred officials are flat." ”

Hundreds of officials knelt down three times and bowed nine times, and after the big salute, they got up from the ground one after another and stood solemnly in the class.

The emperor's ascension to the throne has his own set of red tape, and after he is busy, it is already sunset.

In the harem, the elixir stretches his arms and twists his waist, and he is not afraid of his beautiful posture, and his exquisite curves are leaking out. This is the deep palace compound, and all of them are women. Although Zhou Yujie is the head of the palace maids, she has long been tamed by the elixir. And she knew that the little girl in front of her was terrible, she was personally sent in by Grandpa Guo holding hands, and she stepped forward to pinch the smooth and white Hao arm holding the elixir, and said with a sneer: "The lady of the horse has worked hard today, and the slave maid will pinch it for you." ”

Elixir smiled skillfully and said, "Sister Zhou doesn't need to be so polite, just call me Elixir." That being said, she closed her eyes and enjoyed it. A twelve-year-old girl, holding a baby in her arms for a day, was already sore.

At this time, the little emperor on the dragon bed cried loudly, and the elixir hurriedly said: "Call the nurse quickly, Your Majesty is going to breastfeed." ”

The palace maid next to her responded, and the little elixir clapped her hands, teasing the emperor and gradually stopped crying. Such a beautiful girl seems to be born to please children.

At this time, a small chamberlain shouted outside: "Elixir girl, Lord Ma of the cabinet is outside the palace, saying that he has something important to see you." ”

As soon as he heard the elixir, he walked out of the harem happily, and followed the little chamberlain to the palace gate. These two people are both close associates of Yue Guogong, and the guards should not have seen it, and consciously gave up their places to the two.

"Daddy." The elixir's grinning appearance made Ma Shiying in a trance for a while, is this still the dignified female official in front of the palace.

Thinking of the terrible end, Ma Shiying put away his father's love, and said with a straight face: "Yao'er, when I sent you into the Hou Mansion, I told you that you will serve the prince well in the next life, and you can please the prince, and there is no reason to be a female official." Daddy is now a university scholar, and he is already on pins and needles, and I don't know how many people are worried about wanting to kill me and our Ma family. Now that you are this female official, aren't you looking for these open guns and arrows to lure yourself in? You are so out of line, Guogong is not in the court now, if someone really wants to harm our father and daughter, who can protect you and me. ”

The elixir seemed to be unaware of Daddy's worry and anger, stuck out his tongue, and said with a smile: "Daddy, don't be angry, this is all made by the elixir ordered by the master, Daddy will ask him if he doesn't believe it." ”

Ma Shiying's eyes lit up and asked, "Is it really Guogong's idea?" ”

"I told you Daddy and I didn't believe it, people only said it once." The coquettish voice of the elixir came, and the old father Ma Shiying was pedaling, how could he not believe it. This is obviously a cute and well-behaved girl, Ma Shiying refuses to believe in her baby daughter, and she has a scheming to deceive herself.

After pondering for a moment, Ma Shiying said mysteriously: "If this is the case, it's okay, as long as there is the protection of the national prince, no one will want to harm us." Hehe, you take good care of Your Majesty in the palace, and don't forget to invite more pets when the Duke of Kingdom comes back. Guogong is the benefactor of our father and daughter, and also our backer, don't forget whose kindness is it from not being able to eat on the street to now having fine clothes and food. ”

The elixir squinted his eyes wide, and his smile was pure and lovely, and Ma Shiying turned around and left.

Looking at Daddy's back in the distance, the elixir muttered: "Although he didn't say it, master, this must be what he meant, otherwise what would he do with letting the elixir enter the palace." ”
