"Relatives or sorrows, others have also sung".

In the eyes of others, Ji Qingwen saw off Yuan Chonghuan and collected the body in the friendship of the same family, so before he left Beijing, he set up a few tables of banquets to celebrate the opening of the new store, which was not too cool.

In the courtyard house that Ji Qingwen bought two days ago, it was still a mess, and the excavated soil, the dismantled turns, and the planed trees were piled up, showing that they were building and decorating on a large scale.

Ji Qingwen deliberately invited guests here, and also had a plan to indulge in lust, so that everyone would come here to take a look, and it was even more unexpected that what he killed before in a blink of an eye was the fake Yuan Chonghuan, and the real Yuan Chonghuan escaped from the tunnel here, and he is still alive in the world.

The invited high-ranking guests also gathered together, and there were no officials who had received the benefits of Ji Qingwen who did not come to congratulate them. As for those businessmen who were doing business in the capital, they were looking for a way to come over and eat Ji Qingwen's glass of wine - even if they couldn't hug the thigh of this new earl from a merchant background, at least they could get a familiar face, and it would always be good in the future.

Ji Qingwen didn't drink well, but no one dared to force him to drink, so although the feast was lively, it didn't last long, and when the hour came, everyone had already dispersed.

After personally seeing off Xu Guangqi, a cabinet scholar who accompanied him from beginning to end, Ji Qingwen returned to the courtyard with a tired face, but did not immediately go back to rest and sleep, but plunged into a small room, pushed the door and said: "Inspector Yuan, there are many guests today, and some of them are too late to greet you, so I neglect you, please forgive me." ”

Yuan Chonghuan picked up a life in front of the ghost gate today, and he had already put away his unruly temper in the past, and arched his hand: "How dare you, how dare you." Yuan is alive in the world, thanks to the arrangement of the lord, this great kindness, Yuan still doesn't know how to repay ......"

Ji Qingwen was very proud when he heard this: "How did you say this." I see that the superintendent is also one of the best talents in my dynasty, although it is indeed a little wrong, but it is a pity to die like this. Therefore, it was also for the sake of Jiangshan Sheji that he took the risk to save Inspector Yuan. ”

Yuan Chonghuan was noncommittal when he heard this, shook his head and said, "The lord thinks too highly of me." After today's struggle, Yuan knows what the sky is high and what the earth is thick. From now on, I will be very content to be able to save my life, so what qualifications do I have to talk about the country? ”

"Bhoo. Inspector Yuan's words are wrong. Ji Qingwen said, "How can the Inspector say that he is also a general, and there are only a few people left in my Ming Dynasty who have defeated the Manchurian Iron Cavalry head-on." If there is chaos today, if something happens in the Northeast, someone like the Inspector is still needed. If the Inspector can seize such an opportunity, make meritorious contributions to his crimes, and make immortal military exploits, maybe there will be a day when he will come out in the future! ”

The so-called country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, Yuan Chonghuan is a person who causes trouble, and he still can't let go of the opportunity to make contributions.

Therefore, after hearing Ji Qingwen's words, a glimmer of light seemed to flash in his dim eyes: "Yes...... Is it? Saying this, it seems that the lord has already made arrangements for Yuan...... didn't say it, Yuan's life was saved by the lord, and if the lord has any orders in the future, Yuan will definitely serve with death. ”

"Good!" Ji Qingwen praised, "What I'm waiting for is the words of the superintendent!" In this way, with the identity of the superintendent, Jingshi will definitely not be able to stay here, and it is not safe to return to Liaodong, so why don't you ask the superintendent to go back to Jiangnan with me? The emperor in the south of the Yangtze River is far away, and I can be the master, and the custodian can be safe and sound. ”

The current situation, in fact, is no longer able to allow Yuan Chonghuan to pick and choose, not to mention that Ji Qingwen asked Yuan Chonghuan to go to Jiangnan, which is indeed the only feasible thing for me to be afraid of at the moment.

Therefore, after Yuan Chonghuan thought about it for a while, he nodded and agreed: "It is said that Lord Ji is doing well in Jiangnan, and Yuan can just go and take a look." Speaking of which, I am also from Guangdong, but since I joined Shitu, I have always fought bloody battles with the Manchurian Tatars in Liaodong, and I haven't been to the south for a long time......"

The two exchanged a few more words, and then they went back to their houses to rest.

According to Emperor Chongzhen's will, Ji Qingwen must leave Jingshi within three days.

There is a saying that "the king of Hades told you to die in the third watch, who dares to keep you until the fifth watch". The king of Yama in hell claims to be in charge of the life and death of mortals, but he is always an ethereal existence, and his power is still far beyond the power of the emperor who forbids it.

What's more, how to deal with it after death is the business of the king of Yama, but the emperor can send you to see the king of Yama.

Therefore, with the will of Emperor Chongzhen, and under the emperor's forehead, there was a "tanuki for the prince", Ji Qingwen did not dare to delay any more, and after taking care of the matter the next day, he left Beijing and went to Jiangnan.

According to Ji Qingwen's arrangement-

The first is that he has not yet completed the affairs of the "Ji Family's Money Village", which is all handed over to the old servant Duo Jiugong, who has been a servant of the Ji family for generations, loyal to the old Ji family, and very proper and old-fashioned, and is the best candidate to take care of this matter.

The second is the silver that Ji Qingwen brought into the Jingshi to dredge the joints this time, and if it is not used up, it will all be reserved for Duo Jiugong to use. Originally, opening a money bank is not a small business, there are many places to spend money, and there is no way to handle this matter without tens of thousands of taels of cash around you.

The third is the issuance of silver tickets. In order to ensure safety, Ji Qingwen prepared that all the silver tickets would be printed by the printing house in Jiangnan, and Xiao Duozi, the son of Duo Jiugong, would personally escort them to Jingshi, and then stamp the seal of Qian Zhuang before they could be exchanged for silver taels. In order to ensure the stability of the market value of the silver bills, Ji Qingwen decided to prepare the corresponding cash as a margin according to the ratio of one to two.

(That is, for every two taels of silver bills issued, there must be one tael of silver as a deposit, so as to ensure that as long as there is no sudden run, in most cases, the silver bills can be successfully exchanged for silver.) ）

The fourth is the issue of the five hundred military horses that Wu Sangui prepared for Ji Qingwen. These military horses were purchased and collected from Liaodong, Mongolia and other places, even if they went south in a hurry, Ji Qingwen was unwilling to let go of these military horses. So he invited a few horsemen nearby, and asked those Yiwu miners who had never even touched horse hair to learn some skills of leading and driving horses while walking, so they reluctantly drove these military horses to the side of the Grand Canal.

On the canal, Ji Qingwen had already informed the empty boat prepared by the governor of Caoyun, and the group had just carried the horses and luggage onto the boat, but Ji Qingwen got bad news.

It turned out that Zhou Xiuying, who had helped Ji Qingwen a lot in the capital, was ready to leave on the spot, unwilling to go to Jiangnan with Ji Qingwen.

Ji Qingwen had a heart for this stunning woman as early as the first meeting with Zhou Xiuying in Xi'an, Shaanxi, and before in the capital, the two finally abandoned their previous suspicions and fought side by side, and completed the impossible task of Yuan Chonghuan coming out of the butcher's knife.

Therefore, Ji Qingwen thought that Zhou Xiuying would fall in love with him from now on, but he didn't expect Zhou Xiuying to come in a hurry, but he had to leave in a hurry.

This made Ji Qingwen a little puzzled, and said sincerely: "Why is Miss Xiuying in such a hurry to leave?" I think we still have a lot of fate, why don't you follow me to Suzhou and help me do things? ”

Zhou Xiuying smiled: "Gongzi's subordinates are full of talents, and now there is a world-famous Jiliao Inspector, what can I do to help you?" What's more, I'm used to being idle and wild, if you really limit me to a corner of the south of the Yangtze River, I have to get sick urgently. ”

The request of the beauty always makes it difficult for Ji Qingwen to refuse. After repeated retention, Zhou Xiuying still decided to say goodbye.

When Ji Qingwen regretted it, he asked one more sentence: "Miss Xiuying, you and I have an unfinished fate, I don't know where you are going this time?" I also have a direction, and when I miss you, I can come to you. ”

Zhou Xiuying's heart warmed when she heard this, and then she said in an unusually firm tone: "I want to go to Shaanxi and Shanxi." Where is Childe's hometown, I want to take a good look at it...... I have also heard that the people there are very miserable, but there are still many corrupt officials who exploit the people. If this is true, I will definitely kill all these corrupt officials and corrupt officials without leaving a single one! ”

Ji Qingwen was a little touched when he heard this, and said quietly: "Miss Xiuying said this happily, but can you really kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials?" There is no need to talk about him, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu Emperor of the Guangben Dynasty, is he soft in killing corrupt officials? But one can be killed, and another one will pop up, and sometimes two or three will pop up, and it is really inexhaustible to kill...... Even Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty was helpless and helpless. ”

Zhou Xiuying frowned and said, "Then you can't look at these corrupt officials and people, right?" Anyway, I see one and kill one, although I can't kill all these bastards, anyway, I can breathe more breath for the people, it's better than watching them do evil, right? ”

Ji Qingwen was full of sadness and said, "But this is not a long-term solution...... Even if Miss Xiuying sees one and kills one, she will kill at most one corrupt official in a day, right? But every time you kill one, the court can send two more, if one of them is a corrupt official, then girl, aren't you just working in vain? ”

Zhou Xiuying was silent when she heard this.

Ji Qingwen was immersed in his own logic, and frowned again: "But it is somewhat useful to kill one or two, and come and kill chickens to show the monkeys, so that other corrupt officials can wake up and teach them to be able to restrain themselves when they poison the people." ”

When Ji Qingwen said this, Zhou Xiuying's interest suddenly decreased a lot: "Okay, I'll go and see first, if the corrupt officials are really inexhaustible, I will naturally come back to discuss with Gongzi at that time......"

Seeing that it was the period of separation, Ji Qingwen naturally became a little more sad, and after a few words, he suddenly remembered another thing, and said: "When Miss Xiuying goes to Shanxi and Shaanxi, can you do something for me?" ”

Zhou Xiuying was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and seemed to have guessed Ji Qingwen's intentions, and said with a smile: "Childe probably has some message for me to bring to Ling Zun, right?" ”

Ji Qingwen shook his head: "If I have something to say to my father, I can naturally send Xiao Duozi and Duo Jiugong to go, and the Shaanxi Chamber of Commerce can also do it for me, and I can't trouble Miss Xiuying." ”

Ji Qingwen has traveled through the 21st century, although he has some feelings for his "father" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, he is not very deep, so the contact on weekdays is only intermittent, and he does not pay much attention to it.

I only heard him continue: "I asked Miss Xiuying to help, because I wanted the girl to monitor and take care of two people for me......"

"Two people? Those two people? ”

Ji Qingwen's brows flashed, and he said coldly: "One is called Li Zicheng, and the other is Hong Chengchou. ”
