Although when Yongle moved the capital, it once hollowed out the wealthy merchants and wealthy classes in Nanjing, but the ancient capital of Jinling, located in the southeast, its recovery ability has always been extraordinarily strong, and it has developed rapidly after the southern tour of Emperor Zhengde. Not to mention anything else, just the large and small yamen gathered here, including the six departments, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple and other important functions, is enough to make it more powerful than Su Songhanglai.

However, compared with the six Shangshu of Nanjing, which only has the title of Shangshu and the real power is much worse than the six departments of the capital, in this ancient city, the most important positions in this ancient city must not ignore the garrison of Nanjing, except for the governor of Yingtian and the Yin of Yingtianfu. The garrison was divided into two, half by nobles and half by eunuchs, and most of the time there were four people.

Among them, because the Xu family of Wei Guogong was rooted in Nanjing, almost every generation inherited the position of Nanjing garrison, and no longer had the heart to improve. In addition, it was the Li family of the Marquis of Linhuai who only returned the title during the Jiajing period. Now, Li Yangong, the Marquis of Linhuai, who has returned after the expiration of the defense system, has written the Nanjing Zhongjun Governor's Office, and is also the garrison of Nanjing, and has inherited his father's position.

But Li Yangong is vassally elegant, and although the Snow White Mountain House is famous, his prestige and reputation cannot be compared with Li Tingzhu, who fought a little bit at the beginning. After Wang Fulin arrived in Nanjing City, as soon as he passed the house to visit, Li Yangong immediately withdrew from the people, regardless of the fact that the two had not seen each other for more than two years, and they just complained a lot. At the beginning, he naturally only talked about the problems of being in charge of the Linhuai Marquis Mansion and serving as the garrison of Nanjing, but gradually the topic turned in another direction.

"For more than two years, some Suzhou and Hangzhou businessmen are optimistic about the market of Yinzhuang ticket numbers. It has also been inserted. It was the Xu family of Wei Guogong who took refuge. Compared with the veteran Xungui Xu family. Although the Li family was a little struggling, they could have maintained it without being afraid of them. But this Duke of Wei looks ugly! This Xu Bangrui was born as the eldest son, in the early years, because the late old prince Xu Pengju planned to abolish the elder and young, and even gave birth to the concubine Zheng who gave birth to a young son, and asked him to be named Mrs. Wei, so that the young son of the concubine became a son-in-law, and he suffered a lot.

Or did it come to light later? The old prince was fined, and the lady of Wei who was the concubine was stripped of her title, and he was considered to have won the title of the prince. As soon as the old prince died, he inherited the title, and it has only been five years now. The old prince didn't like him at the beginning, and the money was naturally deducted, and he was probably poor, so after he inherited the title, he thought that he was a lot older, anyway, it was just the future of the Nanjing garrison. So he was bent on holding money. Because of his relationship, those Suzhou and Hangzhou businessmen were unruly. It's a different way to dig into our corners. ”

Of course, Wang Fulin knows that the nobles of the Ming Dynasty are not as good as the founding of the country, and the nobles during the founding of the country are to give birth to ten or eight sons, and those sons who can't attack the lord can often have a good future, and if they are lucky, they can also be the governor of the second grade, but now it's different, except for the lucky one who attacked the lord, not only can not share much ancestral property and property, but often can only mix a knight to the top, how many honorable side branches have already fallen to the point that eating is a problem? Because of this, for the sake of a title, these seemingly glamorous families can often pinch out their brains, and the Xu family has been fighting lawsuits for property since the third generation.

It's just that during his stay in Huizhou this time, Ye Qinglong and the other shopkeepers, as well as the people of Cheng Xu's family, were quite satisfied with the situation of southeast development, and did not mention that there were any major difficulties that Nanjing could not deal with. Therefore, when he heard what Li Yangong said, he simply asked: "What does Hou Ye mean ......?"

"Gonggong Meng, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, has been in Nanjing for several years." Li Yangong smiled slightly, and then he broke his intentions.

This is undoubtedly the meaning of sharing profits. Although the two have been friends for almost four years, after all, there is less gathering and more separation, there are many interests and few friendship components, and Wang Fulin certainly will not expect Li Yangong to sell his interests. However, when it came to making him give in, he refused to let go easily. It's not for that money, but shopping malls are like battlefields, and there are similarities with officialdom, if you give in at will, people will think that you are weak and bullied. What's more, Li Yangong originally only used the political resources of the Li family, plus a part of the real money and silver as shares, and the business was dominated by the three families of Hui businessmen Wang Cheng and Xu, so he would not let it be controlled.

God knows if Li Yangong colluded with Meng Fang and planned to embezzle the interests of these Hui businessmen?

So, smiling at him, and finally vaguely agreeing to think about it, as soon as Wang Fulin left the Linhuai Marquis Mansion, he seemed to live in a separate courtyard of the Wang family in Nanjing in Songmingshan, but in fact, he quietly lived in the Longfeng Dart Bureau in Nanjing.

After years of business development, from Hangzhou, Nanjing, Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, four large-scale Changfeng Dart Bureau has already become the symbol of peace all the way to the southeast, attracting many very famous martial artists, the only difference is that their foundations are different. Hangzhou's team consisted of the old men who were in the industry, Nanjing was the veterans of the Zhejiang army, Zhenjiang was the brave and ruthless mechanics, and Yangzhou was the salt transportation team of salt merchants, including some smuggler salt. And the whitewashing of such a group of people, Wang Fulin spent countless money, but the harvest was also huge.

At this moment, as soon as he entered the dart bureau with Liu Bo and Feng Zhong, he was welcomed to a hall in the deepest part, and several of the most core darts heads, such as Zhang Xi and Zhang Bing, shouted to their uncles, scrambling to report various advances and achievements, he listened with a smile, nodded his head, and only asked about the situation of the Nanjing garrison in the end. Knowing that the Li family of the Marquis of Linhuai and the Xu family of the Duke of Wei were indeed fighting openly and secretly, and Meng Fang, who had served as a garrison eunuch since the sixth year of Longqing, was pressing Zhang Feng, the garrison eunuch who had just arrived in Nanjing for less than a year, he couldn't help but ponder.

"Where is this Zhang Feng from? Since Meng Fang was suppressing him, what counterattack did he have? ”

"It's also strange to say, this Zhang Feng is not like the eunuchs who were sent to Nanjing to guard the eunuchs to retire, he is only in his early forties, I heard that before going to the Imperial Horse Prison, he had stayed in the inner study hall of the celebrant eunuch, and he was suddenly sent to Nanjing somehow. However, I heard that there are several eunuchs surnamed Zhang around the emperor of the capital, maybe they are relatives? ”

Wang Fulin had also met Zhang Hong, the second person in the ceremonial supervisor, and knew that he was a lot older. But he can be at peace under Feng Bao. Definitely not an ordinary person. And the Wanli Emperor was around. Zhang Cheng and Zhang Whale are also favored, the former is said to be very liked by Feng Bao, as for whether it is real or fake flattery, he is not very clear. Now there is an additional eunuch in Nanjing, who was born in the ceremonial eunuch and is not very old, and the new garrison eunuch is also surnamed Zhang, although it may not really be a family, but he has to think about it more deeply. He thought of Li Yangong's previous advice to himself. Then he asked again: "What is the relationship between Linhuai Hou and Meng Fang?" ”

Li Xiaohou ...... cough, it's time to call Hou Ye Li. He doesn't have much contact with Meng Fang, or Meng Fang's eyes are above the top, and he can't look down on Marquis Li, who has just inherited the title, plus the Xu family of Wei Guogong is ruthless, and the gift is also heavy, so Meng Fang and Wei Guogong Xu's family are closer, Li Houye is about anxious, and he went to visit once a few days ago, but was blocked by Meng Fang. ”

It turned out that he wanted to slap Meng Fang but didn't...... Honestly. Nowadays, these nobles are really far inferior to the past, this hereditary inheritance method without degrading. Only wine bags and rice bags are raised!

These men in the dart bureau have never been very respectful to the eunuchs behind their backs, so Wang Fulin called the eunuchs by their names, and they were naturally happy to omit the word father-in-law, and only called Li Yangong a Hou Ye, but it was only because the Li family and Wang Fulin had some dealings. They chattered and answered a few more questions from Wang Fulin, and seeing that this uncle was thinking about his chin and distracted, Pan Er, who was working in the Soldiers and Horses Division, opened his mouth and asked, "Uncle is planning to see Zhang Feng?" This garrison eunuch, like Li Xiaohou at the beginning, often wanders around in micro-clothes, but when he encounters any grievances or injustices, he doesn't care, as if he is an idler. ”

Wang Fulin used the "chance encounter" when he first met Li Yangong, and now there is a dart bureau as a backyard, in which most of them are from the middle and lower classes, and the darts rely not only on force, but also on the ability to deal with the three sects and nine streams, so if he plans to recreate the chance encounter with Zhang Feng, it can be said that it is as easy as a hand. After thinking about it, he decided to put his troops aside for the time being, and then inquire about the specific situation, anyway, even if the 128-day period can't all be used on the road, there is still plenty of time.

But before that, he secretly met with the three big shopkeepers of Hui'an Ticket Number and Ningsheng Yinzhuang in the Dart Bureau, and explained in advance the transfer of real money and silver in batches through the Dart Bureau, that is, to change the treasury. Although it was just in case, after this arrangement was given, the three big shopkeepers still had heavy faces. However, just as Wang Fulin was arranging according to the worst plan in an orderly manner, at nightfall, he was still looking through the account books when he heard a gentle knock on the door outside, followed by a very soft voice.

"Little official, someone is asking to see you by name at the back door."

Wang Fulin thought that he could be said to have lived here in hiding, but he didn't expect to be found out, but he couldn't help but be curious at the same time, so he immediately got up to open the door, and ordered Chen Bingchang to touch the other party's bottom first - this young man Xiaoxiu has only been tempered in Guangdong, at least he doesn't have to worry about being taken out of all the details in three or two times. About a quarter of an hour later, someone knocked again on the door of the concealed room, and with his permission, pushed the door straight into the house.

"Brother Wang, here is a middle-aged man in his early forties, who claims to be Zhang Feng, the garrison of Nanjing." When he said this, Chen Bingchang couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his face was still a little incredible. In the past, when he was in Hunan, the lord of a county was enough for him to look up, and later he came to Guangzhou Lianxi Academy to study, which can be regarded as seeing many Tiannan celebrities, but compared to those officialdom dignitaries who followed Wang Fulin, it was far away. However, now when I arrived in Nanjing, I first visited the White Snow Mountain House and met Li Yangong, the Marquis of Linhuai, not to mention it, but there was also a Nanjing garrison eunuch who came to see him at night? This is outrageous, isn't it?

Wang Fulin also felt a bit outrageous. However, combined with the fact that Zhang Feng was probably in the prime of life because of the mistake of standing in the palace or the failure of the political struggle, he came to Nanjing in the prime of life, and now he is being squeezed out by the old-timer Meng Fang, he feels that this situation is quite understandable. It's just that since the person who came has confided his identity to Chen Bingchang, he can't be too lazy, so he immediately changed into the clothes of a guest and followed Chen Bingchang to meet people.

Because this is the third watch from the back door in the middle of the night, most of the people in the dart game have already fallen asleep, and the halls in front of them that usually entertain guests cannot be used, and are temporarily used to entertain guests. It's just a tea room in the backyard. Even this teahouse. is also to take care of Wang Fulin, a night owl who has always slept late. It's always open, so you can still provide tea and snacks to uninvited guests at this time.

When Wang Fulin entered, he found a middle-aged man wearing a yellow-brown straight jacket who looked like an ordinary scribe holding a tea cup and eating chestnut crisp leisurely, looking at the strength of the concentrated tasting, as if this was not a chef's skill with limited skills in the dart game, but a chef's boutique. As a foodie. Faced with this scene, Wang Fulin unconsciously let go of his vigilance against this strange guest, but said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang is really a powerful ear report, and he actually found here." ”

The middle-aged man stood up, but it was not until the chestnut crisp in his mouth was swallowed that he spoke: "I first came to Nanjing, and there are few people who can use it, only a little relationship in Jinyiwei, even so, it is not certain. It's just here to try your luck. However, I don't dare to be this Mr. Zhang. Since Lord Shoufu was in charge of the cabinet, the person who can be called Mr. Zhang in the whole world is just one person. I watch the word Defeng, the number is too Min, and I call the name with Wang Shiyu. ”

Sure enough, this is a person who doesn't like to be called father-in-law. Wang Fulin had a hint of realization in his heart, and said with a smile: "Since that's the case, then I'll call Tai Min Gong." I don't know what to teach when I came here at night today? ”

Zhang Feng's cheeks were round, his eyes were squinted, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a smile that would never disappear: "I heard that the Marquis of Linhuai, Marquis Li, and the Sheng family, and the Hui'an ticket number and Ningsheng Qianzhuang jointly opened by the three Hui merchants, have earned a lot of income over the years, but they are a little anxious because of the intervention of the Xu family of Wei Guogong, so they plan to climb up to Meng Gonggong, but they don't know that Meng Gonggong wants to capture the old man, and he has been thinking about getting involved in the industry of making money for a long time." Although I am not talented, and the palace master of ceremonies Bingbi Zhang Hong Zhang Gonggong recognized father and son in his early years, only a few people before the person learned that this time I came to Nanjing to find a place for Zhang Gonggong to retire. If Wang Shi Yu agrees, I am willing to eat one share with 20,000 taels of silver. ”

20,000 taels, one into a share, this seems to be a lion's big mouth, but Wang Fulin knows that with the scale of the original opening, in fact, the three Hui merchants plus the capital of the Linhuai Hou Li family are far less than this number, only the business has been booming in recent years, coupled with the brand value, and the money for Caoyun Salt Transport, which has made the value of Yicheng shares rise greatly. He quickly thought about it in his heart, and then asked with a smile: "I think Grandpa Zhang should still have something to say, right?" ”

"Hehe, Wang Shiyu really deserves his name, and naturally there is another news to give." Zhang Feng put down the teacup in his hand and sat up straight, "In the first year of Wanli, when the Nanzhili Township Test, because of whether the results of the Township Examination were fair, the students almost made trouble for a while, Wang Shiyu should not forget it, right?" ”

Although it has been almost three years, the township examination of Geng Xiangxiang's main examination, the so-called exam question turmoil, arson turmoil, he and the Jinling Sheng family also had a lot of conflicts because of a straw bag Sheng Zu Yu, and finally not only bridged the rift, but also joined hands through the Li family, of course, Wang Fulin will not forget these pasts. It's just that the turmoil involved Geng Xiangxiang, the chief examiner of the Nanzhili Township Examination at that time, Meng Fang, the garrison eunuch, Zhang Jiayin, the governor of Yingtian, and even Li Tingzhu, the Marquis of Linhuai in Nanjing, all of whom were involved, and he once thought that Meng Fang would be evacuated from this position by Feng Bao, but now it seems that he was blindly too confident back then.

"The past is unforgettable, and naturally it will not be forgotten."

"Behind that incident, it was You Qi, who was sent by Lord Shoufu to visit the old lady in Huguang Jiangling Mansion, who lived in Meng Fang's Mansion, and these two people made up tricks to take the opportunity to rectify the southeast Shilin, and by the way, they framed the veterans of the Zhejiang army. Therefore, although Meng Fang was disappointed afterwards, You Qi was afraid that he would be harmed, so he did everything possible to protect Meng Fang. But after all, a lot of favor was consumed, and in order to maintain Feng Bao's trust, Meng Fang had to focus on gathering. ”

Hearing this, Wang Fulin finally realized what kind of conspiracy storm he was involved in, although his face was silent, but his heart was furious.

If this is really Zhang Juzheng and Feng Baoding's plan, he naturally has no choice but to swallow this breath in a sullen voice, and then think about how to retaliate back when the general trend reverses in the future. But he didn't expect that this was calculated by Meng Fang, a eunuch and You Qi's slave, which not only caused him to almost fall into the water, but also almost pulled a large number of Zhejiang army veterans down, he didn't take revenge, and swore not to be a man! Of course, he can't believe whatever Zhang Feng says, he will naturally send someone to investigate this matter!

Thinking of this, he pretended to be embarrassed, and then he and Zhang Feng tug-of-war, and finally negotiated the deal at a price of 30,000 taels and 1 shares. As for how Zhang Feng fights Meng Fang, it's none of his business. If you want to plan a way out for Zhang Hong, the second person in the celebrant supervisor, you won't even have this ability!
