Chapter 96: Cracking Down on Piracy in the Ming Dynasty

Thank you for the book friend Xuanyuan Shen Guo, Xu Yuying's reward, book friend I dodge my dodge for the reward and evaluation, thank you for your support. Xiaoyu found that everyone was very extreme, and there was only one vote for four in that vote, okay, Xiaoyu is as good as a stream, and there will definitely not be only four heroines.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As the espionage system of the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei's branches are all over the world, and Xuanfu Town also has a thousand households. This thousand-household office is not far from Xie Hong's new home, just on the East Street of Zhonglou Street, although Xie Hong has a false title of a thousand households, this thousand-household office has never been to.

Seeing that October is coming to an end, and it is a little closer to the end of the year, in the eyes of outsiders, it should be the Jinyi Wei Qianhu who kills the cold, but the atmosphere at this time is very relaxed.

"I said Lao Liu, I heard that you went to Houdefang a few days ago, how is it inside, is it as good as the legend outside?"

"Phew, what a fart!" Lao Liu said angrily: "Lao Tzu passed before dawn, he was stunned and lined up outside all morning, almost didn't freeze to death, it was easy for Lao Tzu's turn, but the bullshit teahouse said it was closed, and it would continue to open in the afternoon, isn't this a pit man?" ”

"Tsk, Lao Liu, you're too stupid, we're Jinyiwei! You're showing up the sign, see who dares to let you line up. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you know who those people are in line? The generals, the servants, and the big families in the city are all lined up there, do you call Lao Tzu to show the sign? The bright tricks are pretty much the same. ”

"Can't you, those adults are honestly lining up outside? Then the wolf can also eat grass instead? ”

"Don't believe it, don't you know, don't you know that the owner of Houdefang has a good relationship with Zeng Shangshu? That's the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, a first-class central officer......"

"Li Qianhu, you are very comfortable in Xuanfu." While the brocade guards were chatting, suddenly the door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind swept in, making everyone in the room shiver. Listening to the words of the visitor, several Jinyi guards were even more furious, and they were about to get up and scold, but they saw their own Qianhu adults suddenly roll down from the Taishi chair, quickly greeted them, and said with a flattering smile:

"Xiaguan Li Ying, see Qian Tongzhi, if you miss the distance, you still hope that your Excellency Haihan."

Qian Tongzhi, several Jinyi guards are gasping, in the Jinyi Wei system, Tongzhi is the only big man who commands the envoy, and this surname is Qian, is it the ......

"It's okay, it's because the official came in a hurry and didn't give notice in advance." Qian Ning waved his hand casually and sat on the Taishi chair in the center, while his entourage pressed the handle of the knife and lined up on both sides.

stepped forward to see the ceremony, Li Qianhu and a few Jinyi guards were worried in their hearts, this Qian Tongzhi came in such a hurry, could it be that there was a big case in Xuanfu? But no, although the brothers have been a little slack recently, they should be staring at everything very closely, and there can't be any cases like rebellion in Xuanfu City.

If you want to say that you are greedy for ink, there are a lot of words, but in a border town, if you don't let those who are officials make some money from the military salary, then who is willing to be an official, and if you want to arrest it, I'm afraid that the officials of the Xuanfu will have to be replaced.

"Your surname is Liu, right, this official asked you, about the popularity of Hou Defang, what you just said is true?" Qian Ning's sharp eyes swirled around several people, and finally landed on Lao Liu's body.

"Yes...... The little ones don't dare to deceive the adults. Lao Liu was taken aback, he didn't know why Lord Qian was interested in a teahouse, could it be that the owner of that teahouse was planning to rebel? It's really rare to open a teahouse and gather people to rebel. Lao Liu thought for a while, and added: "However, the business of Hou Defang has deteriorated a little in the past few days......

"Oh?" Qian Ning's eyes flashed.

"Hui Yu Lord," Lao Liu was stared at by him a little hairy, and the cold sweat came down, "In the first few days, there were crowds of people in front of Houdefang, and the other teahouses looked red-eyed, so they sent someone to copy the commentary, and asked the painter to draw the same in his shop, and finally invited the musician...... I learned a lot about the inside and out of Houdefang, so I ......"

"I see." Qian Ning shook his head slightly, Lao Liu peeked over, but found that Master Qian seemed to be a little disappointed, he was also a good at observing words and feelings, and hurriedly said: "However, there are still many people who are reluctant to go to other houses, mainly because of the piano." The music played by the piano was completely different from other instruments, and it fascinated many people. ”

"Oh? You go on and tell everything you know. ”

"Yes, yes. Also, the owner of Houdefang also thought of a way and said that after the previous joke of the Three Kingdoms is over, there will be a new joke immediately......"

"It's interesting......" Qian Ning listened for a while, suddenly smiled, and ordered: "Tomorrow you go to occupy a position, and the official will personally go to Houdefang." ”

"This ......" Lao Liu was very embarrassed, he thought, but is that position so easy to occupy?

"Don't worry, the package is on the lower official, the lower official has the VIP brand of Houdefang, and the guarantee is to occupy a private seat for the adult......"

Li Qianhu came to the spirit, patted his chest and took the errand down. The other Jinyi guards were all slandered in their hearts: they knew that they were patting on the back, usually the brothers borrowed this brand from this miser, as if they wanted his life, and they refused to borrow anything, which is really an old slippery head......

"VIP brand, what's that?"

"Adults don't know, this Hou Defang ......" Li Qianhu explained carefully: "...... This brand is a total of one hundred and fifty yuan, and now it is not easy to buy one even if you spend a lot of money, and it took twenty taels of silver to buy this piece of Xiaguan! ”

"Didn't you say that the popularity of Houdefang has declined, why is this brand still so valuable?"

"The key is the piano, I don't know where the instrument came from, it's really amazing, most of the people who go to other teahouses can't wait to line up, or don't like to listen to music very much. But those who like tunes, no one goes to another house, not to mention that Hou Defang will have a new joke tomorrow, and many people are looking forward to it...... "Li Qianhu is a frequent visitor, but he knows much more than Lao Liu."

"Interesting, really funny." Qian Ning touched his chin and whispered to himself: "Xie Hong, he is really a wonderful person." ”

……

The wonderful person Xie Hong is now troubled, he didn't expect that there was piracy in the Ming Dynasty, this piracy is menacing, not only is the speed not worse than that of later generations, but it is also more blatant. Later generations still have relevant laws and regulations to deal with piracy, but the people of the Ming Dynasty have no awareness of this at all, Mr. Luo wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, not only did he not have a manuscript fee, but he also had to pay for the printing of the book himself.

Not to mention that there is no legal constraint, even if there is, it is useless, haven't you seen how rampant piracy is in later generations? If it weren't for the killer feature of the piano, Hou Defang would probably have been reduced to an ordinary teahouse, so Xie Hong had a headache.

It just so happened that the joke of the Three Kingdoms was almost finished, after all, no matter how much Maang could talk nonsense, there would be so many storylines, and the fight scenes could not be repeated all the time, so Xie Hong decided to change to a new story. The new story can't be difficult for him, but according to the previous model, the new story has to be accompanied by new lyrics.

Because he wrote the previous rolling Yangtze River East Passing Water and hummed a tune for Ling'er to record, so this time, everyone unanimously pinned their hopes on him, so Xie Hong was annoyed and said that he was under a lot of pressure. Brother is just a craftsman, where can he compose lyrics and music, in later TV dramas, only the theme song of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms can still be presented, and the others ......

Hehe, otherwise let's sing "Listen to Mom", Xie Hong patted his forehead, very depressed.

"Brother Hong, don't squeeze your eyebrows and worry, like a little old man, anyway, you are idle, make a music box for Yue'er and Qing'er." Another factor that annoyed Xie Hong jumped out, although Yue'er, this little girl, looks very cute and has a very pleasant voice, but she is pestered to ask for things every day, Xie Hong feels that her head is very big.

"Yue'er, Brother Hong is busy, don't make a noise with him...... "Qing'er is still sensible, but Brother Hong is not a special title for Qing'er, why is the little girl so generous."

"Qing'er, you don't understand, grandma often said when she was alive, the more troubled you are, the more you have to laugh, you look at Yue'er and laugh every day, Qing'er, you also laugh, Qing'er laughs, Yue'er looks at each other......" Yue'er's small mouth didn't stop chattering, Xie Hong also forgot about his troubles, it was funny to listen to, Yue'er won't be a chatter in the future, haha......

…… No, a laugh, yes, how did you forget this, there is a way. Xie Hong's eyes lit up suddenly, and he jumped up, "Ha, Qing'er is really my lucky star, well, Yue'er is not bad, when I have time in the future, I will definitely make a music box for you, haha......" He left with a smile and went to find Ling'er and chatter.

"Qing'er, look, it's a good thing to smile." Yue'er was very proud, shaking her little head and saying.

"Yue'er, you are so amazing, it made Brother Hong happy at once." Qing'er's reason for being happy is not quite the same as Yue'er's, but the two little girls are still so compatible.

"Yes, yes, grandma said that Yue'er is the smartest."

……

"You've really made a tune! There are also lyrics...... "Ling'er was surprised, she was not fully familiar with the piano, and it was still difficult to compose a song for her surname, not to mention that she didn't know how to compose lyrics, so she could only let Xie Hong find a way."

Ling'er didn't have much confidence in Xie Hong, although he came up with the song that was rolling east of the Yangtze River, but the weird and weird country slang songs he usually hummed were really ugly. Especially the last time I tuned the piano...... Ling'er couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she thought about it.

But now, Xie Hong actually hummed another song, it was still very beautiful, and the lyrics were also very good, Ling'er was a little dazed, could it be that humming some slang songs often could also improve his musical attainment?

"That's a pretty good story! It's more interesting than the story of the Three Kingdoms, well, it also goes well with the lyrics...... "Ma Ang listened to Xie Hong tell the story next to him, and after listening to it for a while, he was also amazed.

"Of course, don't look at who this son is? Otherwise, how can this son be the chairman, haha. Xie Hong didn't know what was going on with him, he usually remembered to keep a low profile, but in front of Ling'er, he always wanted to stop showing up.

Brother won't like Ling'er, this girl, no, no, no, my son is a serious person, don't look at incivility, don't look at incivility, that kind of thing that disturbs subordinate employees, brother can't do it.

"Then let's settle it, right?"

"Hmm."

"No problem, give it to me Ma Ang and you will put a hundred hearts, Gongzi Xie, you need to know ......"

did not disturb his subordinates, but was harassed by his subordinates, Xie Hong could only retreat in the end, there was no way, Ma Gongzi's language offensive was too terrible.
