CHAPTER XXXV

Yang Shangjing just lay down here for a while, there was a sound of horses' hooves outside, although there is still a curfew in Nanjing City this year, but for the nobles, it is a fart, this is not Beijing City, civil officials want to impeach the nobles for lawlessness is too troublesome, so a game like the best Pegasus at night is not too cool, the soldiers who patrol the night are all detoured.

"The spring breeze is proud...... Hey, it's summer in Jiangnan this year, and I'm still playing horse racing in the middle of the night, why don't I kill you. Yang Shangjing, who had just been tortured by the three-view problem, lay on the bed and fell into curse mode.

As a result, just after two sentences, Uncle Zhong's voice came from outside: "Young master, the third son of the Duke of Wei is here, saying that there is something important to talk to the young master, so the young master should get out of bed in his clothes." ”

There's something I can't say tomorrow, I came over in the middle of the night, it's a nervous disorder.

Yang Shangjing responded "Okay", but he was muttering in his heart, this Ming Hanfu, even if it is a summer dress, is troublesome to wear, far less convenient than a T-shirt directly pullover, seeing Xu Shangyong and other noble children, there is no way to be untidy, and then clean up the image, basically the time for a cup of tea has passed.

Fortunately, there were two maids, Zhiqin and Mingqi, who came downstairs and talked to Xu Shangyong.

"It's so late, and I still come to disturb Brother Shang Jing, I really don't want to go, but it happened suddenly, and Qidao and I just came."

As soon as he saw Yang Shangjing, Xu Shangyong stood up and arched his hand at him, very polite, beside him, in addition to the Xu family's family, there was also Liu Qidao, as for the other nobles, he didn't see them.

Yang Shangjing smiled: "Please also ask Brother Shangyong to talk about it in detail." ”

"It's a secret, I'm afraid the wall has ears." Xu Shangyong looked around and said solemnly.

Yang Shangjing was stunned for a moment, and then nodded: "Then please come with Jian." ”

Now the Yang family's family and maids who are following him, there are more than 50 people inside and out, so the whole inn is packaged, so find a place to talk about things, there is no problem at all, the three of them found an empty room, let Xiao Er serve tea, and then start talking, and the outside is surrounded by the three families.

Uncle Zhong didn't leave, just stood in the house, Xu Shangyong glanced at Uncle Zhong, and wanted to say something, so he heard Yang Shangjing say: "Uncle Zhong is the old man of my Yang family, in the past, when my grandfather was in Yumuchuan with the imperial driver to Mobei, his old man was waiting on the side. ”

This qualifications ...... It's really enough to bluff people to say it, of course, this is not Uncle Zhong himself, but Yang Shangjing's status in the Yang family, although there are such wise elders in every family, but they basically give advice to the patriarch, and being able to send them to a child as a staff member can already prove that Yang Shangjing's status in the Yang family is indestructible.

So Xu Shangyong nodded, didn't say anything, but went straight in: "Brother Shang Jing went to Huangyan County before dinner, I'm afraid that it will be more auspicious, Shang Yong has just received a summons from home, and there are more than 30 salt envoys in the two Zhejiang provinces who have gone out for no reason, and all of them are good hands, and the transfer envoys are people from the outer courts, and they should not be in collusion with the inner court, but now this Zhejiang salt is controlled by the eunuch Zhang Xishun, and it is reasonable to call a group of people." ”

After all, the group of eunuchs in the early Ming Dynasty were not only close to the emperor, nor were they only loyal, but the most important thing was that they were particularly able to fight, the most famous was Zheng He who went to the West, so sometimes, the emperor would rather believe in the eunuchs than believe in the military generals, which is still very reasonable.

However, when Xuanzong died and Yingzong succeeded to the throne, and the Sanyang cabinet began to be angry, the old batch of eunuchs were basically dead, so the position of guarding the eunuchs was gradually abolished.

However, Xuanfu and Nanjing, such strategic and political centers, still retain the eunuchs, after all, the truth that the power comes out of the barrel of the gun, even if it is not explicitly written, the ancients also understood, as for economically developed provinces such as Zhejiang, the eunuchs also retained a part, after all, there is still a part of the royal family's internal funds to be looted by the eunuchs, and the royal family is counting on the household department to allocate the people's endowment, and one by one they have to starve to death.

Zhejiang is not only the land of fish and rice with a developed economy, the most important thing is that the largest sea salt field in the Ming Dynasty is here, this year can not let the market let the landlord sell salt, salt and iron monopoly is the national policy, so the town guard eunuch in this place, it is even more unlikely to be dismissed, so the Zhejiang town guard eunuch received the instructions of Jin Ying or Wang Zhen in the inner court, and gave him a halfway robbery, it is very possible.

However, Uncle Zhong, who was standing on the side, heard this and smiled dumbly: "It's just about thirty salts, even if it is a private placement of the town guard eunuch, so what?" ”

Xu Shangyong heard this, glanced at Liu Qidao, and said in his heart that the strength of the Jian'an Yang family is really unfathomable, if this note is right, not only can he follow Yang Shangjing to be promoted, but he can also follow the Jian'an Yang family to make a fortune, this kind of family that can leave a concubine under the rule of Meng Yuan, and indeed none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.

However, Xu Shangyong still coughed dryly: "The old man doesn't know, these thirty salt dices are not only with blades, they ...... is also wearing armor, Hainingwei's more than 30 sets of armor are missing for no reason, at this time, the adults in the family are probably thundering. ”

Wei Gongshi Town Nanjing, for the following control is still enough, the blades and armor of each guard are to be counted regularly, this is also a means to maintain combat effectiveness, and armor, is the most important, after all, the private collection of blades is not a matter, the private collection of bows and crossbows is at most to hit the board, but when it comes to armor, properly to exterminate the clan, helpless, the soldiers in armor, compared with those who are not in armor, the combat effectiveness is at least twice as high, just the weapons made by a small private workshop like the Yang family, It is not certain whether he can cut through the standard armor of the imperial court, so after hearing this news, Uncle Zhong was shocked.

"This ......" Uncle Zhong fell into a deep groan, Wei Guogong did not come forward to say this in person, which proves that he does not want to stand in line directly, just like Cheng Guogong, he sent a family to escort him, and he also used the banner of transporting goods to the south, and if he wanted to mobilize the Ming army in Nanjing to escort him south, he must not think about it.

Yang Shangjing also fell into deep thought, this matter ...... It's hard to do.
