'Squeak~~~'

Gao Yang stretched out his hand and pushed open the heavy wooden door. The bright morning sunlight outside the house suddenly shone in, making him subconsciously stretch out his hand to cover it when he had just woken up.

It is on the second floor of a beautifully crafted wooden building. Looking out from the entrance, you can see rows of elegant courtyards and gardens. There are a variety of wooden buildings with exquisite workmanship. Suzhou-Hangzhou style garden buildings, ponds and rocks stretch out beautifully in front of you. There was a faint scent of flowers in the air.

Gao Yang slowly stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, yawning with half-squinted eyes. As a person with great ability, he has been surrounded by people in a high position all the year round, and Gao Yang's body naturally has a shocking momentum.

All the guards were staying in the courtyard downstairs, and Gao Yang didn't have the habit of letting people listen to the corners. A little maid with her eyes closed and her head constantly nodding her head at the staircase was awakened by the sound of the door opening. Turning around and seeing Gao Yang, his originally confused eyes instantly opened. Some were at a loss and saluted Gao Yang in a panic.

The little maid is only fifteen or sixteen years old. There was a panicked look in his eyes as clear as autumn water, his fair skin was flushed with a faint flush, and his round face was red and cute.

If this were in modern time and space, this maid would just be a much-loved child. It is the most carefree age. Here, however, she is just a servant of others.

"Go get some water." Gao Yang glanced at the little maid who looked flustered, and forgot what her name was. Is it Qiu Ju or Dong Mei? Gao Yang, who didn't want to think about it, directly ordered the little maid to fetch water. With years of getting into the habit of going to bed early and waking up early, he now needs to wash.

The little maid hurriedly saluted and left, and the 'kick' turned around and ran downstairs. The guards in the courtyard looked sideways for a while. Gao Yang shook his head slightly, turned around and returned to the room with a faint smell of sandalwood.

The décor in this room is stunning. All the furniture is made of precious solid wood and is beautifully carved with patterns.

Every piece of utensils placed in this room is a priceless boutique, even Gao Yang, who is used to seeing big scenes, was slightly moved when he saw it just now.

Return to the large wooden bed with elaborate Zheng patterns. Gao Yang casually turned off the air conditioner on the side. Raise your hand and lift the silk curtain. Looking at the beauties who were still sleeping in the spring on the bed, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, outlining a shallow smile. He shouted softly, "The sun is shining on your buttocks, and you can't get up yet?" ”

"Hmm~~~" replied with a long moan. The corner of the silk thin quilt was lifted, and Zheng Xiujing, who was full of distress, revealed half of her white face with a flush, and glanced at Gao Yang with big eyes. With a "bang", he raised the quilt again to cover his head.

Gao Yang crossed his hands on his hips and shook his head helplessly. If you like to sleep in, then go back to sleep. Grinning, he turned around and came outside to feel the beautiful morning weather. The air in this era is so pure that you can feel a faint fragrance when you take a deep breath. The sky is also an extreme blue. People can't help but be intoxicated.

The little maid who didn't know if it was Qiu Ju or Dong Mei quickly walked up the stairs with a few maids who were also not very old. Each person has an object in their hand. There are basins made of pure copper, white silk towels, small dishes with green salt, mirrors brought from Kyoto, and so on.

"Please wash up." As soon as the little maid's voice fell, Gao Yang heard a sudden movement in the house. His wife is very cold in front of unfamiliar people. I will never sleep in front of unfamiliar people.

Gao Yang hooked the corners of his mouth and said indifferently, "Just put it in the house." You don't need to serve, go about your own business. ”

"Yes." Several maids lowered their heads and carried their objects into the house, and then quickly withdrew.

After they left, Gao Yang walked into the house with a smile. looked at the sleepy-eyed Zheng Xiujing in her pajamas and began to wash and dress up. He grinned and said, "No need to wear makeup, people here never wear makeup." They won't take pictures of you without makeup and post them online. ”

This is Gangning (avoid river crabs, use this name. The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

Xu Hongji, the 10th Duke of Wei, died of illness more than two months ago. Emperor Chongzhen issued an edict that his son Xu Wenjue succeeded him as the 11th Duke of Wei. Gao Yang came to Jiangning Mansion this time. It can be regarded as bringing the emperor's decree by the way, and completing the inheritance procedure.

After officially becoming the Duke of Wei, Xu Wenjue warmly invited Gao Yang to stay in the Duke of Wei's mansion. With Gao Yang's prestige spreading all over the country, anyone with a little eye knows that this national teacher can cover the sky with one hand! Who doesn't want to go to the pole to stammer? Even the same is true of the national prince.

Gao Yang didn't do much hypocrisy. He was here for a vacation. I happily agreed.

Gangnam.

It is a beautiful and prosperous place with developed culture and education. It has a prosperous culture and education, a thriving economy and a beautiful and rich water town. It was like a paradise in the war-torn era.

Since the Yongjia Rebellion, the Chinese people in the Central Plains have moved to Jiangnan three times on a large scale. Especially after the Jingkang Rebellion. The population of the Gangnam region has increased substantially. The fertile land has been developed on a large scale, and all aspects have developed rapidly.

During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, the area south of the Yangtze River has become the most prosperous and wealthy place in the entire Ming Empire. Almost most of the wealthy families in the entire Ming Dynasty live here. The land here is extremely fertile and the economy is extremely developed. For example, the high-quality paddy fields in Matsue Prefecture are more than ten times more expensive than other places!

In Shaanxi, an additional nine cents per mu of land will cause a rebellion, but in Songjiang Mansion, there is no problem with an additional one and two cents per acre of land!

It's not that Matsue Prefecture produces ten times more fertile land than other places. This would not have been possible in the absence of new chemical fertilizer mixes and good rice seeds.

Although the production here is extremely high, it is definitely not up to this level. The reason for the high price is that there are too many wealthy people who want to live a leisurely life in this prosperous and wealthy place. There was demand, and there was an inflow of a large amount of silver, which naturally led to a price increase.

The literary style in the south of the Yangtze River is flourishing, and seven or eight out of ten articles in the world come from here. Most of the scholars in each imperial examination are also from the Jiangnan region. As a rich land of fish and rice, at least the vast majority of people can still eat their stomachs, if nothing else.

After solving the problem of hunger, anyone who has a little money left over at home will try their best to let their children go to school and read and write. Both in those times. The creed that knowledge changes destiny has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. No one wants to be a human being for generations!

This is the most prosperous place in the entire Ming Empire. There are countless supplies of materials and services. As long as you have silver, there's hardly anything you can't do!

......

"Shopkeeper, here are some exquisite side dishes. Fresh fish trays are also served. Raise a jar of good Huadiao wine again, and serve well and have many rewards. A young man with a white beard, a handsome face, wearing a lake green gown, shaking a fan painted by Tang Yin himself, walked into a very famous restaurant in Jiangning Mansion, and shouted with a smile.

"Young Master Wen is here." The shopkeeper of the restaurant in a silk robe greeted him with a smile: "The fresh fish in the river just delivered in the early morning." Fifteen-year-old Huadiao wine has been buried under the osmanthus tree. Please also enjoy it with peace of mind. ”

"Huh." The man nodded with a smile. Slightly sideways, he chuckled at a man behind him with an indifferent face and a majestic figure, but there was a large hideous burn scar on the left side of his face, and said, "Brother Li, today's junior brother is the east, please Brother Li to taste the food of our Jiangnan." ”

The burly middle-aged man nodded slightly, grinned the corners of his mouth, and chuckled with a strange accent, "It's okay." ”

Wen Gongzi and this Brother Li walked up the stairs to the second floor under the guidance of the shopkeeper, and came to a simple and elegant private room.

Wait until Xiao Er finishes tidying up and sends the tea. That Wen Gongzi casually rewarded Xiao Er with a few coins of silver. Wave him away.

The little servant brought by Wen Gongzi stood still outside the door of the private room, and the Wen Gongzi's face suddenly changed, and he squinted his eyes slightly and looked around before nodding slightly, looking at the Brother Li with a trace of gloomy gaze. The gaze flickered. said in a low voice, "Brother Li, we don't dare to accept your deal." ”

"Really?" The middle-aged man surnamed Li smiled indifferently, picked up the tea bowl on the table and took a sip. With a gloomy gaze and a hint of mockery, he said, "Don't want 50,000 taels of silver?" ”

"Everyone wants silver, but you have to have a life to spend it." When he heard the fifty thousand taels of silver, a look of greed flashed in the eyes of the young man Wen. Immediately, the clarity was restored. Shaking his head slightly, he said in a deep voice.

This Wen Gongzi's name is Wen Dezhao, and he is a native of Jiangning Mansion. His father was a bookkeeper in the yamen of Jiangning Mansion. Since he was a child, he has been familiar with the Four Books and Five Classics, and when he was sixteen years old, he was admitted to Xiucai, and he has always been known as a talented man in Jiangning Mansion.

It's just that this article is so young that he is frivolous. After passing the Xiucai exam, he had a conflict with a big merchant in the Drunken Moon Building in order to compete for a top brand. Not only did he lose both people and money, but he was also severely humiliated in front of the public, and his reputation was ruined. It even affected his future career path, and his heart was greatly stimulated.

Since then, Wen Dezhao has given up the hope of pursuing a career and turned to wholeheartedly thinking about making money. It's just that if he does business formally, he has no backstage support, and he has almost no future. Therefore, Wen Dezhao, who is still a little clever, embarked on another path.

Be a broker.

It's an old trade. Some resemble intermediaries in modern space-time.

It's just that Wen Dezhao is not doing an ordinary business, and he met some outlaws who specialize in licking blood on the head of a knife by chance. Since then, it has embarked on a path of no return to solicit business for the killer organization. (To be continued, please search, better update faster!)

It's been less than half an hour since I updated here, and you've already come out there. This kind of attention makes the little brother feel deeply frightened!

How many people are rich in being able to sit in front of the computer for such a long time every day and receive radiation to go to codewords? I also rely on these hard-earned incomes to eat. Please also be merciful to all friends who do piracy, can you slow down a little longer? Let readers and friends give more money to buy steamed buns?!

Appreciate! Thanks! Thanks!! Thanks!!
