The scorching sun in July is like fire, regardless of whether it is the seventh month of the lunar calendar or the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar in the future, it is so hot that people want to strip off their clothes and jump into the water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the future, this season is the favorite season of dicks, and it is also a pleasure to eat and squat on the street to hold a cigarette and watch the beautiful legs of the day.

But now at the end of July, Liu Zheng can't see his beautiful legs when he walks on the streets of Linqing, but look at the beauty head office, right? But Liu Zheng has been gone for more than half an hour, not to mention the beauties, and even the walking people rarely see it, it is said that Linqing is a very, very rich place, after all, the prototype of the golden bottle plum that almost everyone admires is Linqing.

The reason why it is so deserted that the people can't see a few, and even if they do, they are in a hurry, the reason is that there is another very famous eunuch Ma Tang in Shandong.

Lao Ma is ruthless, he collects shop taxes in Shandong, collects 150,000 taels a year, he is too little, and feels that after handing it over to the Wanli Emperor, he can't leave much, so he commands the army under his command to rob the open fire, as for how much silver is robbed in a year, this is not counted, but later generations have historians counted that he has been in Shandong for seven years, and a total of more than 1.3 million have been scraped.

In later generations, many people who studied history said that the people under Ma Tang were not the army, but hundreds of hooligans and villains, but Liu Zheng knew that it was not the case at all, there were indeed many hooligans and villains in Linqing, and they all followed Ma Tang, but there were only less than 100 people, in addition to these people, there were more than 1,900 people in Linqing's River Patrol Division and the Patrol Inspection Division for Ma Tang's instructions, and these people were much more ruthless than any hooligans and villains.

Fortunately, all the people in the rivers and lakes of Linqing are gathered under the hands of the fire Bodhisattva Liu Kou, after all, Liu Kou is Liu Zheng's representative, such as today's martial arts people, who is not very yearning for Liu Zheng, if it weren't for Liu Zheng who sent people to various places early to bury nails, a large number of people would have gone to Qingzhou to join him, so no one in the martial arts people threw themselves under Ma Tang.

The topic turned back, last year Chen Zeng gave Emperor Wanli 400,000 taels of silver, which directly stimulated Ma Tang, and this year it was scraped even harder, so it led to the current appearance of Linqing.

Liu Zheng has experienced the ruthlessness of an old horse, he has not opened a store yet, starting from entering the Linqing territory, arriving in Linqing City, a total of forty-two taxes have been paid, if it weren't for Liu Zheng's anger and fierce training of the guards around him, maybe hundreds of soldiers from the Inspection Division could die along the way.

Ma Tang's rules have changed now, not only the store tax, but also the road tax, the car and horse tax, and the business tax, these three taxes have gone all the way, Liu Zheng has paid a total of more than 70 taels of silver, good guy, not to mention the common people, even his mother's middle class wants to go out, and they have to weigh it carefully.

I knew that the problem of Linqing was very serious, otherwise it would not have been in the twenty-seventh year of Wanli, that is, in 1599, there was a civil uprising, and when the people revolted, they killed thirty-seven Ma Tang entourage, Ma Tang was rescued and fled, and the Wanli Emperor was furious and ordered the arrest of the leader of the riot, but at that time, the local basket craftsman dynasty of Linqing saw that the court came to kill innocent people, and came forward and said that he was the leader of the riot, and he was arrested and heroically righteous.

Neng Feiyu, who was walking beside Liu Zheng, looked at the shops with closed doors and windows around him, and couldn't believe it at all, Liu Zheng originally planned to leave him in Qingzhou to preside over the work, but after thinking about it, it was very inconvenient to do things without bringing a Mr. Xixi, so he took him with him.

Can Feiyu's mentality has completely changed now, what he longed for was to be a governor's staff before, after all, the governor is in charge of the military and political affairs of a province, even if it is Zuobu's political envoy, it is not as powerful as the governor, but now he really controls the political affairs and civil affairs of the three prefectures, and the envy of the people who are officials in the court is gone.

For Liu Zheng in Qingzhou Mansion, Laizhou Mansion, Dengzhou Mansion to engage in that set, can Feiyu is very optimistic, after all, seeing is believing, the people's lives can be said to have undergone earth-shaking changes, now to Qingzhou to see, you don't believe that there is a rebellion here, the people live a life far beyond the people in other places, the businessmen who have been to Qingzhou have regarded Qingzhou as a paradise for businessmen, and now Qingzhou, Laizhou, Dengzhou three weeks of land boundaries, in addition to Laizhou and Dengzhou to pay taxes, In other places, there is no tax card at all, and there is no tax to pay a penny when entering the city, and the notice posted by the temporary government on behalf of Liu Zheng is also very clear that although the tax of ten taxes is much higher than the tax of the imperial court, there is no other messy tax, and the tax is much lower than the tax of the imperial court.

The Jiangnan maritime merchants who smelled the smell of blood had already sent people from Qiantang to Shandong by sea, they landed in Jiaozhou, and from Jiaozhou along the official road all the way through Gaomi, Weixian, and Changle to Qingzhou Mansion, I believe that these people will soon be able to bring back more brave maritime merchants to do business.

"Lord, this Linqing is known as Xiao Jiangnan, but now what comes into my eyes, where is Xiao Jiangnan, this is even more deserted than the border pass, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes along the way, I really thought I had gone to the wrong place!" I can fly feathers from the bottom of my heart.

Liu Zheng glared at Neng Feiyu, who immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly changed his words: "Young master!" ”

"Yes!" Liu Zheng replied lightly.

Liu Youfu next to him was secretly happy, he and Neng Feiyu were about the same age, the identities of the two were originally one in the sky and one in the ground, but now the identities of the two have come to a big reversal, don't look at Neng Feiyu is now also very important to Liu Zheng, but far from him Liu Youfu is in the front of Liu Zheng's heart, he controls all the property under Liu Zheng's hands, this property is not just a trading shop and money on the market, all military supplies and grain are in his hands.

Liu Youfu bowed slightly and said, "Young Master, should we go to see Miss first, or go to visit old friends first?" ”

Miss refers to Li Run'er, old friend refers to the fire Bodhisattva Liu Kou, Liu Zheng struggled in his heart, or reluctantly retreated, and chose to see Liu Kou first, to be honest, he was still a little afraid to see Li Run'er, he was afraid that what he thought was the truth, so that after the matter was said, the relationship between the two would probably come to an end, and the only ending was that he would let her go completely.

Although Liu Zheng is now a prince, and the change in mentality has long kept up with his status, but in terms of feelings, he is still a real dick in the later life, and when facing the goddess, he still unconsciously becomes the weak side, especially in front of the goddess he likes very much, even more vulnerable.

"Let's meet old friends, after all, business is important!"

After saying this, not only can Feiyu and Liu Youfu look at each other, but the guards around them also snickered while looking at each other, many of these people are old people, and they know very well about the matter between Liu Zheng and Li Run'er.

In addition to the guards, Liu Zheng is also followed by Jiang Mingda, although Jiang Mingda doesn't know about the matter between his nephew and Li Run'er, but he also heard a lot from Liu Youfu on the way, in Liu Youfu's eyes, Jiang Mingda's identity is equivalent to the second master, second only to the eldest master Liu Chengzong, so many times he is willing to chat with Jiang Mingda, and by the way, he will tell Jiang Mingda about some things about Liu Zheng, who is Liu Zheng's uncle, and it is inevitable to talk about marriage, after all, Liu Zheng is twenty years old. Because Liu Zheng is not married yet, Jiang Mingda has told Liu Chengzong several times, and he has also complained about Liu Chengzong several times.

At this moment, Jiang Mingda suddenly said: "Yes, business is important, but in my uncle's opinion, the business should not be to meet your old friend, but to meet Miss Li!" You're not young anymore, other people's families are running all over the village at your age, you're good, women don't have one, do you say you're ashamed? If you want your uncle to say, the marriage event is just right! Even if it is the emperor, the succession is the first major event, the right thing! ”

Nima! Liu Zheng immediately glared, the bloody plot of the elders urging marriage fell on him again, although his parents and grandparents were also worried about his marriage in later life, they never urged him, so he had never experienced this kind of marriage urging by his parents, elders, and seven aunts and eight aunts.

Now that I finally realize the embarrassing moment that makes you unable to go up and down, what can you say, say don't worry, the bread will have the wife? Maybe after you finish speaking, your seven aunts and eight aunts will immediately tell you that some of them will be picked up in the future, so you should go on a blind date first, go on a blind date, kiss, kiss!

In the face of his uncle's attack, Liu Zheng could only choose to retreat, and sighed and said: "Okay, uncle, you won, let's go meet Miss first!" ”

Neng Feiyu and Liu Youfu glanced at each other and snickered like children.

……

In a beautiful garden near the canal in Linqing City, a woman dressed in a light gauze dress sat in a pavilion in the garden, the fan in her hand shook gently unconsciously, and a pair of starry eyes did not have any starlight, looking at the boats on the canal in the distance.

This woman is none other than Li Run'er, who was instructed by Liu Zheng to come to Linqing to open the Xiliang Women's Country, and Li Run'er took over this mission in order to make the second half of the life of nearly 100 sisters better.

From Qingzhou, he brought nearly 100 sisters to Linqing, spent a lot of money to buy this garden, and then opened the Xiliang Women's Country mentioned by Liu Zheng.

From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't think that this so-called Xiliang Women's Country can make more money, what she thinks in her heart is that she can not lose too much, Liu Zheng will continue to invest for her sake, and the nearly 100 sisters around her can also live a quiet life.

Unexpectedly, the development of things was not what she thought at all, she didn't attract much attention when she first came to the Qing Dynasty, but when she spent a lot of money to buy this garden and lived in nearly a hundred women, it immediately attracted the peeps of some people.

When she began to show up to pull deals for the Xiliang Women's Country, and frequently visited the ladies and ladies of those dignitaries, she finally pushed this peeping to the highest peak.

Countless noble sons began to appear in front of the gate of Xiliang Women's Country, and they had to enter this garden with their own dignity, at first Li Run'er would personally come forward and make false promises with these noble sons, but when these noble sons came more and more, and became more and more presumptuous, Li Run'er was completely annoyed.

With a cold face, he called someone to drive this noble son out, but it also caused a big disaster, this noble son is really a genuine noble son, but the second son of the Shen Li family, Shen Yao, who had served as the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry and almost entered the cabinet but was driven home by Shen Yao.
