This great drama in Nanjing finally ended with the burning of the Marquis' Mansion by angry people.

It's just a symbolic fire.

After all, it had just rained, so it was not so easy to burn it, and then they were dispersed by the soldiers of the Five Cities Terracotta Division, plus there were a large number of domestic slaves in the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion, and there were also firefighting teams nearby that were also subordinate to the Five Cities Terracotta Division! In short, it was a small fire, and when Chang Yanling hurried back to his home from the palace, there was only residual smoke and messes everywhere......

Plus a coffin.

Fang Dayou's coffin was thrown down by those soldiers who were eager to escape, including the few women and children who could not carry the coffin.

The rest ......

The rest is a muddle of accounts.

Chang Yanling seized Fang Dayou's coffin, after all, the coffin was in his house, and he was helpless even if he detained others, and then he called the police and said that his family was smashed and burned by the Fang family in collusion with scoundrels, causing a loss of 100,000 taels of silver, and demanded that the Fang family compensate for the loss.

If he didn't compensate, he would throw Fang Dayou's coffin into the pigsty.

In short, this has nothing to do with Yang Qing.

Such criminal cases are under the jurisdiction of Ying Tianfu.

At this time, Ying Tianfu Yin is Liu Shizhen, a native of Longquan, Jiangxi, belonging to the Jiangxi Party, close to the Donglin Party but also a little away, the leader is Jiang Riguang, a veteran of the Donglin Party. Liu Shizhen will definitely enforce the law impartially, at least he will enforce the law impartially as the scholars hope, but Chang Yanling's iron coupons can't be touched by anyone, so this matter will continue to be ripped off, and it is estimated that he will not suffer.

After all, Fang Dayou's coffin was in his house.

I have to say that the pig teammates are really bad!

"Master Hou, what should we do with those who are arrested?"

Yang An, the envoy of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, asked.

In fact, he is not surnamed Yang, he is the coat received by Yang Qing in Liaodong, and he didn't want to mention the surname himself, so he simply took the surname Yang, not only him, the coats that Yang Qing received at the beginning were basically all with his surname.

"Just dispose of it according to the law."

Yang Qing said.

He doesn't need to have any tendencies in this matter, these soldiers arrested are just participating in a smashing or something to pay a fine, the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division has no right to convict, only the right to fine and detain, and the detention also has a time limit, and those suspected of arson and looting things are transferred to Ying Tianfu, in short, everything is in accordance with the law, in order to show his neutral attitude. And neutrality means that he supports the scholars, but because of the existence of iron coupons, he is helpless to take Chang Yanling, so that it can be seen that the feudal autocracy is hateful, and an iron coupon can make Xungui do whatever he wants, saying that the civil rights cause of the Ming Dynasty has a long way to go!

"Master Hou, Li Laiheng has arrived!"

Xu Ping reported to him.

"Invite him here!"

Yang Qing said.

Li Laiheng is here to blackmail.

The welcoming group has arrived in Chang'an, Li Zicheng warmly welcomed them, although King Fu and he have a grudge against his father, but King Fu, who has experienced so many hardships, has also met King Qin with a tolerant attitude, and they are both kings and can be called brothers. As for the matter of returning the holy car to Nanjing, it will definitely not be decided for a while, such a fat sheep who comes to the door, Li Zicheng has to squeeze as much oil and water as possible, so he decided to auction Zhu Cihong, to put it simply, it depends on who bids higher between Yang Qing and Donglin Qunxian.

"You've lost weight!"

Yang Qing looked at Li Laiheng in front of him with a sincere face.

The latter was a little hairy to him.

The two of them have been separated from Shanhaiguan for almost three years now, Li Laiheng first replaced Wu Sangui's role and guarded Ningyuan alone, and later entered the customs to participate in the battle of Beijing. After Li Zicheng's retreat, he defeated Duoduo's pursuit as a rearguard, and then guarded the Great Wall line in northern Jin, and then was transferred to the northwest battlefield by Li Zicheng.

But it also worked out.

Now he is the number one cavalry general under Li Zicheng, and he can be said to have his hands covered in blood in the northwest.

"The King of Qin wants to send His Majesty back to Nanjing."

Li Laiheng said slowly.

Then Yang Qing continued to look at him with a pure face.

"You can't fail to hear me, do you?"

Li Laiheng said with confidence.

"Ah, I heard it very clearly, King Qin's decision is gratifying, as the chief of staff of the Nanjing Cabinet and the commander of the Ming Jinyi Guard, I welcome King Qin's decision, and please convey my greetings to King Qin on my behalf!"

Yang Qing said in the standard tone of a Foreign Ministry spokesman.

"Huh?"

Li Laiheng was speechless.

"How many people did you kill in the Northwest?"

Yang Qing asked suddenly.

"Not a single rebel will be left!"

Li Laiheng said.

"Then please convey your respect to King Qin on my behalf!"

Yang Qing said.

"But it's a pity that you continue to take in missionaries, as far as I know, there are more than a dozen missionaries in Chang'an City, do you want to worship Yawei collectively?"

Then he said.

"Who we want to worship has nothing to do with you."

Li Laiheng said.

They did still keep their arms open to the missionaries, and the missionaries who were driven away by Yang Qing basically went to Li Zicheng except for Bi Fangji, who returned to Macau, and King Gui had opened his mind to them, and it was obvious that they felt that Li Zicheng was also a soul worth saving. Even Zhang Xianzhong has it there, but he doesn't dare to act publicly, after all, Zhang Xianzhong sometimes has to succumb to Yang Qing's yinwei. Dolgon, on the other hand, was not popular with them, and in fact the missionaries did not have a good opinion of the Tatars, who had historically had no other choice, but now they despised them.

Of course, the main thing is that the Eight Banners Divine Army hates them, and the Buddhas who are revered by the Eight Banners Manchuria do not like these foreign monks.

"Okay, we've got that out."

Yang Qing said.

He really didn't need to dwell on such trivial matters.

"And ......"

He continued.

"Are you afraid to talk about your majesty?"

Li Laiheng said.

"There is no need to talk about this issue, I will welcome Your Majesty to return the capital, let go of your mind if you want to knock on a pen! Of course, if you want to knock Donglin Qunxian, I support it, but neither the household nor the inner treasury will pay a silver or two on my side. The money you have knocked out from the sages of Donglin can buy anything from me, corn seeds, munitions, grain, and everything. I can also sell you canned food suitable for military rations, using tin cans, all whale fat, pressed so firmly that you can eat for days with one can. ”

Yang Qing said.

He is studying tinplate, which has long been available in Europe, it is nothing more than tin plating, and he has no shortage of tin ore, and tin in Yunnan has been mined for more than a thousand years.

The rest is just the can-making process.

But this thing itself was originally used as a can, it was a handmade can, and he was going to follow the example of the British to pit his own army, and use those military cans with countless black-hearted raw materials to fool Li Zicheng. Anyway, as long as he has food there, until now Li Zicheng's food is still not self-sufficient, especially when the army fights, he must not eat sweet potatoes. Before Li Zicheng's bloodbath in the northwest was largely to grab livestock and grain, after all, those gods still have grain and livestock in their hands, and this will not disappear when people die, and it is the bones everywhere in the northwest that supplement the military rations of the Shun army in Guanzhong.

But not anymore.

After all, it is difficult to have a second crop of this bloodbathed harvest.

Then let him eat canned black-hearted food!

Anyway, at least with the current life expectancy, this kind of thing can definitely not be regarded as eating death, and before eating death, it has already died from various diseases and wars.

"Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will come back and your good days will be completely over? I can tell you that our Majesty Longxing is very wise, and in the past three years, he has turned over a book of information and governance, and he has learned a lot of imperial techniques. Even Gong Dingyu is privately sighing that His Majesty has the talent of Shizong, although I don't quite understand the meaning of Shizong's talent, but I guess this is really praising him, and now he is not a child, he is already eighteen, but he is ambitious, it is impossible for him to tolerate you, a powerful minister.

Actually, we weren't very willing to send him here.

After all, after he returns, we will definitely cut off one million stone of grain every year, and he will definitely seek revenge on us in a few years after he returns, and he hates us very deeply. So we asked them to buy it back for 20 years, but they were not very willing to accept the price. We and you are still friends after all, King Chuang means that as long as you pay the same, we can refuse them, and 20 million stones can be paid in installments, and it is easy to negotiate for five years and ten years. ”

Li Laiheng said.

"You are the Emperor of Auction!"

Yang Qing couldn't help but sigh.

"But the price of 20 million stone grain is too high, an emperor is not worth that much, I think you can sell 10 million! It is not easy for the sages of Donglin, if I don't pay for it, they have to raise money by themselves, 20 million stone grain, even if the current grain price in Jiangnan is more than 10 million taels of silver.

Do you think that Huang Zongxi and these people are just restricting imperial power?

That's probably what he thought.

But those Zhejiang gentry who support them just don't want to pay for it! You overestimate the influence of Donglin Qunxian in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, their influence is not worth 10 million taels. If you have 10 million stone grain, the price will be discounted by 6 million taels, and you will not necessarily be given rice, but you can also take corn, sorghum beans and even dried sweet potatoes and the like, so that the final calculation is estimated to be 4 million can be solved.

Their faces are worth less than five million! ”

He said sincerely.

At this time, the price of rice in Jiangnan began to pour in because of his sweet potatoes and corn, especially the end of the war in Huguang and the beginning of the food supply, which had been pulled down to the level of the last years of Wanli. Of course, the area controlled by the Qing army in the north was still at a high price of one or two halves, and the smuggling problem was becoming more and more serious. But even so, 20 million stones is still impossible, so much grain cannot be supplied at once, and in the end it can only be converted into silver, but 10 million taels of silver is absolutely impossible......

The water is too cold, and that face is not worth the price!
