Chapter 230: Undercurrents are surging
Being a gun for the imperial court is something that businessmen dare not think of. Being an official at the end of the four people is also something they can't think of, and it will be realized today.
They are not the traditional heroes of Jiangnan, and those people have always had an advantage in Jiangnan because of their support for the Donglin Party. The rest of the people can only survive in the cracks, looking for a little remaining benefit between their teeth.
If these people want to compete with them, they will inevitably be suppressed by the government, but feng shui takes turns. The new Grandpa Guo, after coming to Jiangnan, held up the butcher's knife, and everyone knew that the Donglin Party and their backstage businessmen hated Grandpa Guo the most.
But what can be done to hate, Shen Muhong is one of the emperor's most trusted ministers. He has power in his hands, he has soldiers, and with his protection, he may really be able to turn over.
In this way, the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce was established in Jinling.
On this day, all the big and small officials were present, and Shen Muhong, the auxiliary prince, was personally present, and the heavy troops guarded the entrances and exits everywhere. It is a matter of interests, the heroes of Jiangnan, everything can be done, and Shen Muhong has to guard against it. And in this way, it can also provide confidence to these chamber members.
Zhu Yousong's holy decree is placed at the top, as the founding treasure of the Chamber of Commerce. Wu Youde's face was full of red light, as the first batch of businessmen who responded to the call to "go to the sea", he was appointed as the first president by the Duke of Fuguo. Being surrounded by people and coming to the stage to express their stance is nothing more than the official words of loyalty to His Majesty and loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.
Shen Muhong has a lot of worries, Jiangnan seems to be the most prosperous and stable place in the entire Ming Dynasty. The war in eastern Liaodong was raging, and thieves from Shaanxi, Gansu, Jin, and the Central Plains were running wildly. But this kind of prosperity is only the appearance, Jiangnan has become monolithic, and the interests of officials and businessmen who collude and coerce the imperial court have matured and grown.
Many of the leaders and backbones of Donglin, known as Qing officials, are indeed not greedy for ink. But they all have a lot of money and live extravagantly, and all this money should have been handed over to the imperial court.
It is difficult to collect commercial taxes, just because the collection of commercial taxes is tantamount to snatching food.
These places are powerful, and the controlling officials are like marionettes, buying all relationships with money. They are rich and powerful, and if they really take risks and gather a crowd to rebel, the impact will be a hundred times more serious than the rebellion of the group of displaced people in Shaanxi who can't eat.
Shen Muhong sat at the top of Jinling Mansion, sitting absentmindedly, and the businessmen did not bother him.
After a while, a young general in armor came in to report: "Grandpa Guo, a soldier and horse outside the city, covering the sky and the sun with a flag, waving the banner of my Daming." ”
Shen Muhong breathed a long sigh of relief, got up and said, "Follow me out of the city to greet you!" ”
The city gate of Jinling slowly opened, and the leader of a horse carrying a burly general looked at Shen Muhong and smiled knowingly.
"Mr. Shen! Long time no see. ”
It was none other than Yue Chenfeng, the national abbot, and his soldiers and horses.
On the day of success, the general removed his armor, which was originally to prevent the generals from shaking the master and causing accidents. Even if they are loyal, it is inevitable that their subordinates want to perform yellow robes from the dragon's work.
But Zhu Yousong is suspicious of people, he is not suspicious of employing people, he also has this self-confidence, and now in the Ming Dynasty, no one can rebel.
Yue Chenfeng's soldiers and horses were all his original team, and they came to Jiangnan through Kaifeng.
"Seeing that Yue Shuai is in good health, I am relieved." Shen Muhong said with a smile, using the name they used when they made trouble in the Central Plains with "a gust of wind". A big stone in his heart has also fallen to the ground, and with such a new force, those restless people in Jiangnan should also weigh it.
Jinling fat powder gas, starting from the Qinhuai River, spread throughout the city. The entry of such soldiers and horses into the city is undoubtedly a different style for this drunken city.
On the Qinhuai River, countless beauties exposed half of their bodies from the flower boat pavilion. Dancing the silk handkerchief in his hand, he smiled wantonly.
Where have the soldiers seen this kind of battle, fluttering red and red-eared. But they have strict military discipline, and no one dares to raise their heads wantonly. Only when you have time, you can secretly raise your eyes and take a greedy look.
The onlookers pointed excitedly, the country was strong, and the people were happy. Shengdou Xiaomin but knows that the imperial court is strong and strong, and his heart is honored, where do he want to get the danger implied in this. Jiangnan has never been a pure land.
In the crowd, there was a person with a complicated expression, looking at the majestic general in front of him with a confused look. He was dressed in a long robe and dressed as a scholar, but his face was sharp and sharp. This is Lu Xiangsheng, who scolded Zhu Yousong and left Beijing gloomily. He has his own persistence and his own backbone, and he believes that Zhu Yousong is a rebellious minister and thief.
But at this moment, although he still hated Zhu Yousong's rebellion, he admired him very much in his heart. The Ming Dynasty has only been a year and has completely changed.
Liaodong good news was spread frequently, and he thought that the imperial court was falsely claiming victory in order to appease people's hearts. Who knew that a few days ago, there was news that Zhao Hong, the Duke of Yasukuni, had hit the city of Shenyang, which was a glorious moment in the past century, and every Ming person was full of excitement, and Lu Xiangsheng was no exception.
The little boy beside him looked at Mr. puzzled, tilted his head and asked, "Sir, we have to continue to hurry, otherwise we will have to sleep outside again after dark." ”
Lu Xiangsheng retracted his thoughts and turned to leave, he had already decided to go back to his hometown to be a teacher. The child didn't know why, so he could only keep up with the gentleman's pace. Lu Xiangsheng looked at him and secretly slowed down, maybe when he grows up, he can enter the court as an official and display his ambitions. Thinking of this, Lu Xiangsheng was relieved, although he himself did not participate, he could teach a group of students to promote the prosperity of the world.
Over the years, he sealed and returned them to the imperial court, and did not keep the monarch, and in his opinion, he was not eligible to enjoy the money.
The spring breeze is veined, the sun is bright and not dazzling, and the spring light is just right. But this distant figure, no matter how you look at it, there is a deep loneliness.
In the end, the country became what I wanted, but it had nothing to do with me. In the hands of the rebel thief he hated the most, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty came.
Yes, what no one can stop is the footsteps of this prosperous era. Clear-eyed people have seen that the Haiyan River is clear, and the clues have begun to appear. What is coming is bound to be an unprecedented prosperity.
Yue Chenfeng came to Jiangnan and brought his 50,000 elite soldiers, and the news spread far and wide, spreading to every corner of Jiangnan.
In Yangzhou City, in Qian Qianyi's house, Qian Qianyi was sweating profusely and trembling with horror.
"Is the court going to do something to me?"
The head of the family is like this, and the people are even more panicked. They all thought that the imperial court must have sent troops to settle old accounts.
