Chapter 405: A Big Business
In the cold winter, there are still five days left before the New Year, Tang Yi took over as the prefect of Quanzhou, and only ten days have passed, Quanzhou has been completely chaotic, tens of thousands of people are waiting to be fed, and the whole city is like a boiling iron pot. It is said that many officials have already been impeached and want to give Tang Da Zhuangyuan a good look.
On this day, the drizzle, the cold and cold rain fell on the body, making people shudder, He Xinyin wore a hat, held a sword in his hand, and escorted dozens of carriages from far and near.
He Daxia is like an angry lion, his anger is about to explode in his chest, he has been sleepless in the past two days, visiting more than a dozen gentry of all sizes, most of them are mind-learning, He Daxia is like asking for a little money, all the good things are said, and what he gets is still white-eyed.
In the end, only a few dozen stones of grain were obtained, and there was a pitiful amount of cloth. He Xinyin was at that moment, and he really wanted to draw his sword in anger and kill all these bastards.
In the end, He Xinyin was forced to be helpless, so he had to set his eyes on several groups of bandits. A few years ago, he participated in the extermination of the White Lotus Sect, and several White Lotus disciples were impressed by He Xinyin's bearing, and took the initiative to take refuge in the government and help the imperial court to do things. made He Xinyin angry and fell out with Chen Xuebo.
He secretly helped a few people escape and went to Fujian to settle in the grass.
As a last resort, He Xinyin had no face to see people, and for the sake of Quanzhou, which was in danger, he found several bandit leaders. When these people saw He Daxia coming, they didn't say a word, took out all the more than 1,000 stone grain on hand, and prepared a carriage to send it to Quanzhou together.
He Xinyin had tears in his eyes. Compared with them, those gentry and merchants are simply donkey dung balls, smooth on the outside and pickled on the inside. Three hundred miles of wind and smell!
Escorting food and supplies, the convoy was getting closer and closer to Quanzhou, and suddenly countless men rushed out from both sides of the road, holding weapons in their hands, blocking the way.
"Don't go, leave your things behind, take the money and leave!"
When He Xinyin saw these people, his eyes were red, okay. Finally jumped out, grandpa is waiting for you!
He didn't say a word, he carried the sword and rushed up, these people were still stunned, the sword in He Xinyin's hand was like a spiritual snake out of the hole, only to see the cold light flashing, and there was an extra red line behind the throats of the two thugs.
"Die!"
He Xinyin is like a fierce beast. Slaughtered into the crowd, blood splattered. complained bitterly, and the Ming army behind was not good at stubble, so they rushed up directly, and within half an hour, all the thugs who blocked the road were killed.
Blood flowed down the rain into the fields on both sides. The thick bloody gas could no longer be dissolved.
He Xinyin carried the blood-red sword and strode towards Quanzhou City......
Li Zhen in the city was also not easy, he ran to more than a dozen houses in a row and called all the students who were studying.
"Time is of the essence, straight to the point. What kind of ability do I have Li Zhen, most of you have also heard of it. I don't dare to say that I am the first in the world in terms of knowledge, but there are very few who can surpass me in the attainments of Baguwen, not that I write well, but that I think it thoroughly. Some people want to ask, the imperial court opens a science and chooses scholars, but to select talents and talents, and all those who are admitted to the imperial examination are all from the heavens? Li Zhen blinked his eyes and said with a smile: "Whoever thinks like this is a stupid plus three levels!" If it is really based on knowledge, then why Tang Bohu, Gui Youguang, Wen Zhengming, Xu Wei...... He didn't count as a sergeant, so he said that those predecessors who were famous all over the world, why did they fail to try again and again? Is it because they don't have enough knowledge, or are they not talented enough? It's neither, it's that they didn't figure out what was going on in the exam room. Take the township exam as an example, in more than ten days, you have to read the papers of thousands of people, and each person has to take three exams, adding up to tens of thousands of eight-strand essays. ”
Li Zhen said a lot in one breath, and the eyes of the readers below widened, looking like a curious baby, and he smiled: "So, the most fundamental thing is not to make mistakes, handwriting, words, dictionaries, there can be no mistakes at all, only stable articles can be lifted." ”
Unconvinced, someone asked, "Sir, how do we know that our articles are safe and flawless?" ”
"Hahaha, that's a good question, if you have Tang Liushou's ability, no matter what the exam, you can deal with it calmly. But it's a pity, for thousands of years, there is only one monster in the field, at the level of most people, after a lifetime of hard work, he can't make a standard eight-strand text. ”
The students present were hit by a critical blow all of a sudden, and they all hung their heads.
Li Zhen scolded with a smile: "You guys, you are dead-eyed, the predecessor Zhuyu is in front, as long as you memorize the Cheng Wen confirmed by the examiner and write it down, everything will be fine." ”
The big guy's eyes lit up, but they all shook their heads again, and thought that the clever way was so stinky that it was so smelly, and complained: "Mr. Li, so many Cheng Wen, how can we all memorize it." ”
Li Zhen said with a smile: "It depends on my Li Zhen's ability, I can't hide it, after my painstaking research, carefully judge the preferences of the main exam, the trend of the court, and all kinds of taboos, I can already memorize only three hundred articles, and I can calmly deal with the township exam!" Big guy, think about it, you have studied hard all your life, aren't you just for the sake of fine clothes and food, and the sound of dogs and horses? As long as you can lift people in the exam, you are a master, and you can't do anything you want. ”
Li Zhen is like an instigator who fools these scholars, he smiled and said: "As long as you are obedient and honestly go to the prefect's yamen to help, and wait until the sea is opened, I, Li Zhen, will give you the exam secrets for free, but if you don't listen, then you can only watch others win the gold list, hug Yan Ruyu, and live in the golden house!" ”
The hearts of these students were aroused, and they yelled and said, "Sir, let's go to the yamen." ”
In the rain, He Xinyin led the convoy into Quanzhou, and tears rolled in the eyes of the people who were looking forward to it. A smile appeared on He Daxia's resolute face, he personally helped distribute the rice, and the people who got the food were thunderous with joy, and some even knelt down and kowtowed.
The population of Quanzhou is not large, more than 1,000 stone of grain, enough to cope with five days, but what to do next, He Xinyin has no idea at all. He walked around under the eaves of the porch irritably, and Li Zhen ran over and said with a smile: "Mr. Fushan, I just sent more than a dozen scholars to Lord Zhao, so I can use them at the top." ”
Li Zhen wiped a handful of the rain on his face, but found that He Xinyin's brows were twisted into pimples.
"Mr. Fushan, what's wrong with you?"
"Alas, people say that Mr. Jing Chuan is a pedant, but I don't think he can see people. As the prefect of Tang Yi, he has been hiding in the yamen, and he can't think of a way, how can such a person support the future of Xinxue! ”
Li Zhen didn't think so, "Mr. Fushan, Lord Tang also wants him to be busy, I heard his master say that Lord Tang is still preparing for the official operation of the City Ship Division a year ago, and I think he is busy contacting businessmen!" ”
"What?"
He Xinyin's eyes almost fell, he didn't wake up from his dream, there are five days before the New Year, there is a lot of chaos in the market, businessmen from all over the country don't even have a place to live, and the materials can't be transported in.
"Let's go, go ask Tang Yi."
The two of them were menacing, passing through the main entrance and heading straight for the second hall. As soon as they walked in, before they could get through, they found that a person came in with a black face, and someone behind him was holding an umbrella.
It was no one else who came, it was Hai Rui, and he didn't have to pass through, he went directly to the second hall, and He Xinyin and Li Zhen followed behind.
Tang Yi was sitting on it, smiling and drinking tea, with a plate of acacia plums in front of him.
"Hehe, it's Brother Gangfeng who is here, sit down, taste acacia plum, go back and get some soju, let's have a drink."
Hai Rui's face changed, and he suddenly sneered: "My lord, are you very happy now?" ”
"That is, after some painstaking planning, it has finally come to fruition, and the day after tomorrow the city will be opened, and from this evening, materials from all over the world will be transported in one after another, and a crisis will be resolved. Brother Gangfeng has made great contributions, and this official must ask the court for credit. ”
Hai Rui gritted his teeth and spit out three words: "No need!" He suddenly grabbed the black yarn on his head and slammed it to the ground.
"Lord Fuzun, your so-called resolution is to let everything out?"
He Xinyin and Li Zhen also walked in, and when they heard this, their faces suddenly lengthened, and they ran in quickly, Li Zhen asked anxiously, "What's going on?" He Xinyin's face was also very ugly, staring at Tang Yi.
I don't know if it's cold or angry, Hai Rui's lips are blue, and he pointed at Tang Yi with his hand.
"Lord Fuzun, Hai also called you an adult, I thought you would be different from those people, but I didn't expect you to be the same dog, there is no difference! I've been outside the city for a few days, and I've managed to get the land out of the city. In the afternoon, a group of people took the letter signed by you, saying that from now on they would be in charge of the affairs of the city, and all the land they had expropriated would be theirs. ”
These words sounded like thunder, He Xinyin was so angry that he grabbed the hilt of the sword, and Li Zhen hurriedly pressed his arm.
"Mr. Fushan, maybe there is some misunderstanding." He turned to Tang Yi again, almost pleading, "My lord, are those people falsely passing orders and ruining your reputation?" ”
Tang Yi grabbed the acacia plum, ate one, and said with a smile: "There are some things, just like this acacia plum, when I first ate it, it was sour, sour, and it was sour, but it was infinite and wonderful." Tang Yi looked at the angry three people and said: "That's right, I did sell the city, I still nominally promoted, the specific things are in charge of them, I only collect money, the first year to give 500,000 taels of silver tax silver, and 500,000 taels into my personal pocket, next year, the tax silver will rise to 750,000 taels, and the year after next it will be 1 million taels." By the way, they also paid for the land in the port, 200,000 taels, adding up to 1.2 million taels of silver in my pocket this year, I have made a big business! ”
Brush!
He Xinyin couldn't hold it anymore, drew his sword, and roared angrily: "Little traitor, I'm going to kill you (to be continued.) )
