Chapter 461: A big meal is in front of you
"Those turtle sons robbed the chickens and ducks in the house, and they didn't even let go of their thumbs, and they ...... Also ......"
"What!? Say it directly, the court will make the decision for you! ”
In a small mountain village in Banbang Mountain, Siling County, Siming Prefecture, Guangxi, a young peasant woman with an accent of Sichuan was spitting and spitting, looking extremely sad, and Yuan Yinggang, the military salute of the Privy Council, had his eyes shining, urging the peasant woman with anticipation.
"I also grabbed people's belly pockets and ran away!"
The peasant woman hid her face, Yuan Yinggang's face stiffened, and she rolled her eyes and walked out of the house, but the peasant woman behind her let go, reading that it was the best Su embroidery, the treasure passed down by her mother.
The lieutenant of Siling County couldn't hold back a laugh, and arched his hand towards this five-grade senior member: "Jiaozhi people and Chinese people have a very close relationship at the pass under this Banbang Mountain, and their in-laws are connected to the north and south, and they are all acquaintances. Although there are occasional plunder, there are very few things that hurt people's lives and bad reputations. ”
The two of them said as they set out of the village, and the two clerks of the Privy Council followed with a few **s. The county lieutenant was dressed in a strong suit with arrow sleeves, wearing a scarf, and seeing that there was only a layer of green stubble on the door of his head, he knew that he had not been long in service to Yinghua, and he continued: "To appease Hefu Zunyu to gather troops and prepare for a mutiny, the lower officials do not feel that there is any change in the Jiaozhi people, Yuan Langzhong, you are here to investigate, it is for ......." ”
Yuan Yinggang snorted: "The Jiaozhi people didn't embarrass the countrymen, but it doesn't mean that the Jiaozhi people are obedient and courteous to me."
That Zheng Zhu. In the past, he corresponded with the governor of Yungui in Taqing, and then he came and went with Ma Huibo, the governor of Yunnan, and he plotted against me to go to the country, and his heart can be punished! ”
The county lieutenant still didn't understand what this military ceremonial master went to this country and visited door to door. Listening to Yuan Yinggang's talk about the Zheng family, he said disapprehantly: "The feudal kingdom is ignorant, and I don't know my Yinghua Tianwei, and I always think that my Yinghua is like Wu Sanhang back then." Even if the Yongzheng Emperor was changed in the north, the Zheng family still regarded the Manchu Qing as the upper kingdom, but until now, the Zheng family has not dared to make any noise. ”
Yuan Yinggang frowned: "It's really not moving!?" That's... Troublesome. ”
The county lieutenant was puzzled and Yuan Yinggang sighed: "Are these Jiaozhi monkeys really so small?" It's just robbing, hurting people, and bullying the market, which is ....... ”
His voice was lowered, and he turned to the self-muttering heard by the county lieutenant: "This is not enough to be a teacher...... name." ”
As he spoke, he stepped onto a small hill, and Yuan Yinggang suddenly frowned: "This is still my Chinese soil?" ”
The county lieutenant nodded: "Of course, in the forty-ninth year of Kangxi, there was a dispute between the two sides, and the stone was bounded on the hill in front of me, and the pit that erected the boundary stone was dug by my own hands, and it was there, about two miles away." ”
The county lieutenant's hand was halfway raised, but his head followed Yuan Yinggang's arm, and Yuan Yinggang asked, "Then why is there a boundary stone here?" ”
Looking at the hillside dozens of steps behind him, a boundary stone stood impressively, and the surrounding pit soil was still fresh.
"Chinese, you have crossed the border, don't hurry back!"
A moment after the strange shouts sounded, dozens of soldiers wearing hats surrounded Yuan Yinggang and the others.
"Hehe...... what a bold man dares to be in front of my heavenly officials! Also, what's going on with this boundary stone? Don't you want to live anymore? Call you Chen Damu! ”
The county lieutenant was obviously familiar with the other party's origins, and was even more furious at the other party's unscrupulous behavior.
"Chen Damu is gone, and now Ruan Damu is in charge, and he said that the boundary stone should be ...... there."
The other party doesn't know what psychology comes from, and it looks particularly arrogant.
The county lieutenant roared at this group of cross-toe soldiers for a while, but what he got was surrounded by Lin Suo, and he had to whisper to Yuan Yinggang: "Yuan Langzhong, let's withdraw first." ”
Yuan Yinggang laughed, looking extremely happy: "Send someone back to report first, as for me......,、,
He shouted at the soldiers: "The place where this official is stepping on is my Chinese soil, and there is a kind of arrest of me, arrest me!" ”
The county lieutenant and his subordinates were shocked, and they were about to draw their swords and raise their guns, but they were yelled at by Yuan Yinggang.
Yuan Yinggang looked at this group of cross-toed soldiers and smiled fiercely: "You made a big mistake. ”
On the west side of the Dazhong Gate of Huangpu Wuya Palace, horse-drawn carriages are densely packed with "parking lots". The horse is fat and strong, the car is very gold and silver, extraordinarily gorgeous, the people in the car are all gorgeous silk and jade belts, full of hands and fingers, waving the fan or words or paintings, and the money is famous.
These people got out of the carriage, greeted each other warmly, and walked towards the Dazhong Gate together, during which a pair of father-son characters attracted countless people's side glances and greetings. The father and son of Shen Shisheng, a big salt merchant, are well-known in the industrial and commercial circles of Guangdong. The father continued to operate the special salt industry, and the son worked as a drill camp in various new industries such as infrastructure, workshops, vehicles and ships, which not only occupied a stable position, but also grabbed new ones, and the family business was thriving.
"Father, it would be a big mistake to continue to press the silver on the land!"
Shen Fuyang was dealing with everyone while whispering to his father that he was also busy with his career and rarely could communicate with his father face-to-face.
Shen Shisheng frowned and said: "The Li Guanjia held a thousand business banquets this time, it should also be for the matter of land prices in Guangdong, but according to the actions of the Li Guanjia, how can you not embarrass us, what are you worried about?" ”
Shen Fuyang said: "Of course, the official family doesn't want to embarrass us, my son is worried that he will lose the opportunity." My father transferred the flowing water silver to the field, and when the time came, we saw that the opportunity was sent to the door, and our silver was not enough. ”
Shen Shisheng said: "It's not just for profit, our Shen family's business has reached this point, and we should also leave some century-old industry for the family, no matter how much silver we make, it will be difficult to leave it to future generations." ”
Shen Fuyang shook his head: "Father, what time is it now, I always think about a century-old industry." A century-old industry is made, not kept. You bought ten hectares of land, tenants, stewards, and Zhuangzi's care, we are not familiar with these things, and we don't know how many years it will take to recover these capitals. You're still tricking me into selling the workshop, and you really want to be a field worker? ”
Shen Shisheng was also a little touched, and sighed: "Then you say, where else can the silver be called?" What are the opportunities? ”
Shen Fuyang's eyes flashed: "Father, you didn't understand the actions of the official family. When the price of land in Guangdong rose, I was watching the actions of the officials. He wanted to abolish the salt monopoly back then, but he didn't let us put all the silver on the salt. Will he still sit and watch all the money be pressed on the land? Two months ago, I was preparing my spare money, and I said hello to my father, but you just didn't listen to ....... ”
Scanning the surroundings, everyone was talking about whether you bought the land today, how much the land price has risen, are we organizing a group to sweep the fields, Hunan and Fujian, those unjust heads from other provinces, and other topics Shen Fuyang tilted the corners of his mouth and smiled.
"The son heard some rumors, what ...... the official family is preparing, the plan to open the gates, is to drive the silver from the fields and from Guangdong, this is a big opportunity. Whoever runs ahead will not only make a lot of profits, but also accumulate a real century-old industry. ”
Shen Shisheng's eyes also rose with admiration: "Hearing you say this, I regret it a little." It took 100,000 taels of silver to buy 70 hectares of land and still bits and pieces, and I don't know when I will be able to earn it back. ”
Walking through the middle gate, the Zhonghe Hall stood in front of him, and the father and son suddenly had no words, and looked around at the majesty of the palace.
The Zhonghe Hall is the largest of the three halls of the Boundless Palace, but it can't accommodate a thousand seats, it seems that there is another place for the banquet of thousands of merchants, but everyone doesn't care, most of them are businessmen and they are entering the palace for the first time. Although the Boundless Palace is not as grand as the Forbidden City, the architecture is exquisite and delicate, which is enough for them to be pleasing to the eye and proud.
Behind the side screen of the Zhonghe Hall, a row of guards in red and black uniforms stood tall, but two of them were obviously different from the others, because if these two people wanted to hold their chests up, the arc would be too conspicuous.
"It is said that all of the people who came have a net worth of millions, and the official family should raise a glass to the palace and take them all, and then copy their family benevolence, it will be a ......, a harvest of one billion taels of silver! In all dynasties, no emperor has such a great power to wipe out the private wealthy businessmen! ”
Zhu Yuyou, who pretended to be a guard and pro-army, did not stand up, and his mouth was still making amazing words.
Yan Sanniang, who was also dressed in the same attire, was calm, and she smiled helplessly at Zhu Yuyou: "Sister Yan, are you stupid to read?" also raised a glass to the number, took these people for no reason, and our country was finished. ”
Zhu Yuyou climbed Yan Sanniang's arm like a lazy cat: "It's still my sister who is wise." ”
Yan Sanniang seemed to have just remembered something, looked at Zhu Yuyou and said, "I still don't understand, why do you have to come and see?" ”
Zhu Yuyou stuck out his tongue and held up a small notebook: "The official family is not allowed to be present with internal and external notes, so my sister came to see..."
Yan Sanniang glared: "Since you don't let the internal and external notes come, then it's a taboo for you to remember." ”
Zhu Yuyou smiled sweetly: "My sister's "Anglo-Korean Story" is specifically looking for private records. Wait until you are old, and then pick a suitable paragraph to publish a book. ”
Yan Sanniang bit her ear and said, "In the future, will you remember the matter of lying in bed for two days?" road
When Zhu Yuyou was blushing and angry, a shout from the hall shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived!" ”
The noise abruptly stopped, followed by the sound of aggressive footsteps, and a moment later, a figure stepped on the Danbi from the side and appeared in front of the dragon chair, under the plaque of "Fengtian Xingdao" in the main hall.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Hundreds of people didn't see anyone clearly, so they bowed down and bowed in the middle of the line. The new dynasty has three salutes to the emperor, and the big salute is three kneeling and nine bows, which is used on extremely solemn occasions such as conferring knighthoods on generals. "Middle worship" is only used for one kneeling and three bows, and the middle bow is used for big ceremonies or people's visits, while the small bows are only one kneel and one bow, and they are only used on formal occasions such as large court meetings.
Three heads knocked over, and everyone got up, glancing at the person out of the corner of their eyes, and they all gasped.
It was Li Xi who came, but he was dressed in a red and black uniform, with riding boots on his feet, and although he did not have the iconic double shortness around his waist, he had a long sword hanging from his waist. The person was stepping on eight horizontal steps, holding his hands behind his back, and his eyes were scanning the crowd with a sense of coercion.
What is the matter of Li Shi's banquet for all the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry today, not only the father and son of the Shen family, but most people know in their hearts. But Li Xi has been advancing and retreating with industry and commerce for the past few years, and as long as he talks about the rules, there will be no trouble, so everyone is not worried much.
And now Li Shi is dressed like this, such a look, so that everyone subconsciously startled, the weather at the end of July, although the hall is well ventilated, hundreds of people gathered, it is still a little hot, but now I feel that a cold air is rushing up from the soles of my feet. Even Shen Fuyang swallowed his saliva involuntarily, secretly wondering if he was wrong? Now that Li Xian is the emperor and the Lord of Long Live Live, what does he want to do now, why should he coax them as before?
Li Shi stared at everyone for a while before he slowly spoke: "Immortals... Haven't you ever been afraid? ”
The people were silent, and their hearts said that they were now afraid.
"Everyone, have you ever been afraid, your family property will be robbed, your wife and children will be robbed, and you will die without a place to be buried?"
Of course I'm afraid, I'm afraid that you, the emperor, will go under the knife when he sees that the pig is fat.
Li Xian raised his hand, and a newspaper was unfolded, and everyone knew that this was the Deng Xiaotian case that had been hotly hyped up in recent days.
"When the price of land is twice as high, it will be the day you wait for the award!"
Li Shi said sharply, and many people shuddered on the spot.
"It's not me Li Shi who came to use the knife, because I, Li Shi, had already stepped down at that time! I created a rebellion against the Manchus, but I didn't fulfill my promise, not only did I not let the people have a good life, but also let their families be ruined and displaced, so it's no wonder that others rebelled against me! ”
"Once I step down, how many people will want to record your skin, pump your tendons, and drink your blood!? How many of them!? Under my Yinghua rule, there are now 20 million people, at least 18 million, who want you to die without a place to be buried! Eighteen million! ”
Li Shi waved his finger at the main hall, and everyone felt that the finger seemed to be carrying an invisible knife, and it was slashed on their face from a distance.
"Sister......."
Even Zhu Yuyou was so frightened that her scalp was numb, Yan Sanniang patted the back of her hand, but the smile that comforted her was a little reluctant.
"Some people are about to set up bureaus for people from other provinces, some people are working hard in the local government, and some people are even colluding with gangsters, I want to say to these people, you have crossed the line! It's just a warning now, and after today, if there is such a thing, I will not show mercy! I said a long time ago, follow me Li Shi, rules first! ”
"As for the others, I have four words to give, and enough is enough! It is normal for people to buy some land to support the elderly and children. But if you don't feel sorry for the silver, I will feel sorry for you! Although there are no bad rules, you and I are one, everyone, remember, I, Li Shi, are one with you! All glory is glory, and all loss is loss! In everything, we must look into the distance, and we must think more about it, and now we are just a Deng Xiaotian, and the land price will continue to rise, and Guangdong is full of Deng Xiaotian's ....... ”
Li Xian turned into a state of bitter heart, and everyone below spit it out in one breath, and they all felt that their clothes were soaked with sweat behind their backs.
Shen Shisheng smiled bitterly and said: "The power of the official family to beat people is really getting heavier and heavier."
Shen Fuyang frowned and said, "Just beating, I'm afraid it won't solve the problem." ”
A trace of heat rose in Li Shi's words: "Since it is me Li Shi who is in charge of the house, I naturally have to think about you in everything." I also know that you have a lot of silver in your hands, and you don't know where to throw your mouth than a house than a car or a horse, or an aunt or a cricket, and you can compare everything you can, but you still itch all over." ”
Many people laughed, at present, in Guangdong Province, the wealthy businessmen are richer than the rich, and they have been compared to the tip of the sesame seeds.
The atmosphere slowed down slightly, Li Xian waved his hand, and the two guards lifted up a shelf, like a large blackboard, and he personally uncovered the cover on the blackboard, and a map was revealed.
Li Shi's voice continued to heat up: "So, I, Li Shi, have prepared a big meal for you!" That's right, Cochin country. ”
