In March, it was a good time for spring to bloom, and the more certain the news of Wang Tong's victory in Guihua City, more details came back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The more details were transmitted, the more convincing they became, and the more elated the people became, until March, when it seemed as if the Kyoshi was still in the first month.

It is said that there are many wealthy merchants in Tianjin Wei and Jingshi who are ready to go to Guihua City to see, I have been in the border trade with the Ming Dynasty for so many years, and they have repeatedly entered the border, I don't know how many good things have been plundered, and in the past, the border trade was monopolized by the Ministry of the Ming Dynasty and several large tribes, even if the merchants of the Ming Dynasty wanted to do business, they could only sell the goods to the Ministry of Da and several other big tribes, and the greater profits were earned by these people.

At present, the naturalization city belongs to the Ming Dynasty, which is equivalent to opening a hole in the grassland, and the merchants of the Ming Dynasty can go to the north, west and east to trade more conveniently and make more money.

People elsewhere don't know, but the people in Beijing and Tianjin and even Liaozhen Xuanfu know that Wang Tong's firearms and carts are powerful, Wang Tong gave such and such convenience in Guihua City, and the local merchants in Shanxi may still be suspicious, but the merchants in Beijing and Tianjin know what this means, and the most enthusiastic are those merchants with a maritime background, what is the policy of Lord Wang in Guihua City, is to allow privateering, burning and looting on the grassland, as long as you have the ability, then go ahead, this kind of thing sits on the ground, there are fire systems, there are light artillery, who is afraid of those Tartars.

During this time, Zhili, Shandong, Liaozhen and even Henan were much quieter for a while, and the rogue gangsters roaming the streets, the brave and ruthless people, and the military household Yu Ding who had nothing to do disappeared. The local government officials are a lot more worry-free, and some people know the inside story, saying that these people are recruited by the merchants who went to the north, and if they want to go to the outside of the city to do business, they must always have someone to be a guard, and they really know martial arts.

Of course, people from all over the world are gradually entering Shanxi, and the local magistrates in Shanxi are anxious, which is inevitable, but under the victory, this is a small problem. …………

Jingshi is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and the three religions and nine streams gather "Whoever comes up with a new thing, someone will learn it immediately."

Nowadays, the wealthy and industrial people in Beijing, the most fashionable entertainment is to go to the theater and theater to watch the play, the less rich sit below to watch the excitement, and the rich sit in the box is a communication, it is said that the ministers of the court, the eunuchs in the palace, and even the current Banzai Lord often go to watch.

Nowadays, the best play in the theater is a few Ming brocade guards infiltrating the northern Xinjiang and fighting wits and courage with the Tartar traitors, which is really exciting.

The opera garden is too noisy for some exquisite people, sometimes the stage is singing to a wonderful place, the audience applauds and loses the silver, and everything is heard at once.

But someone saw the prosperity of the theater, but figured out something else, you have a new opera at home and sing well, "I have a few people here who can sing and play the piano, and the layout is elegant, and they don't sell themselves, just let everyone enjoy the music and songs, and there are no people cheering for it?"

However, most of this kind of business has been robbed by various Qinglou, "Everyone likes to listen to a beautiful woman singing, so why bother tossing elsewhere."

The business started and failed, but there were also success"The most famous luthier in the city of Jingshi opened a piano hall with only twelve seats, and bought the house of a former household member, Wailang, which was a very elegant place, and the people who played the piano were covered by a beaded curtain and light veil, and the people who listened to the piano were facing back.

If you are good at piano skills, you can also play a song, each seat is five taels of silver a day, just a few songs a day, you stay a day is five taels, a moment is also five taels.

In such a place, there are many people who are willing to come to the scene, and some people may not know how to play the piano, but when they come to such a place, they seem to have a different status from others, and they are much more elegant than those who go to the theater to listen to the play.

This is also a collection of charters, you can pay sixty taels, and it is good to stay alone for a day, which makes some people who are used to playing music like it.

It is not easy for this piano hall to be chartered, there are only three days a month to charter the venue, and every time I ask about these three days, some people say that it has been set in advance.

Today is also a chartered day, there is a carriage with a green curtain in front of the door, the servant is dressed in gray, and he looks very much like an ordinary person's style, but if it is really a person from the high gate of the Beijing Division, you can see at a glance that the servant is the coachman of the current cabinet assistant Shen Shixing.

Cabinet assistant Shen Shixing likes to listen to the piano, and the qin lady in his family is also a high piano artist, but after becoming a cabinet assistant, Shen Shixing placed the qin girl in the family one by one, and Shen Shixing's hobbies have not changed, but he is more cautious and careful.

It's one thing to play the piano by yourself, it's another thing to listen to the piano, since Jingshi opened the piano hall, Shen Shixing has been to a few places with micro services, some people have many eyes, some have poor piano skills, purely selling women, only here is the most suitable for him.

There are very few Dai Lu on the face of the cabinet Fuming, but the income of Shi Teng is very much, and it is really a very simple thing to charter a few days in a month, and every time he has free time, Shen Shixing arranges someone to greet him, and he listens to the song quietly for a while.

The sound of the piano is melodious, Shen Shixing sits on the gall seat, his eyes are slightly closed, and he enjoys it quietly.

was in a trance, but heard the sound of footsteps, which suddenly destroyed this quiet atmosphere, Shen Shixing frowned, opened his eyes and saw that his own long-term follower was walking briskly, although Shen Shixing didn't like it, but he also knew that it was not important, and he knew that his temper-changing long-term follower would not be so rashly disturbed.

"Mr. Lao Fu will avoid it first!"

Shen Shixing said softly, and the sound of the piano stopped behind, and the person had already left. Chang Sui walked over and said a few words in Shen Shixing's ear, and Shen Shixing's face sank. He said, "Don't talk about business at this time, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”

"Lord Yan said that you must say it privately, and you must see the master today."

Shen Shixing pondered for a while, nodded, the mansion was not big, and not long after, Yan Qing, the official who was wearing a plain placket robe, walked in.

The cabinet is named above the six ministries, but the official department Shangshu, who holds the power of personnel, is considered to be the real power position second only to the cabinet assistant Shen Shixing had to get up and salute, and said with a smile: "Shen finally has such a quiet place, but he still let Brother Yan find it, sit down, sit down!" ”

"Yan interrupted rashly, and I hope that Shen Ge Lao Mo will be surprised!"

The two sides greeted each other with smiles, and the surface article still had to be done, except for Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue in the six cabinets, the rest of the people were Zhang Siwei's disciples, Zhang Siwei Ding was worried that his influence in the court was fading, but Zhang Siwei's party and Shen Shixing never dealt with each other.

Shen Shixing's cabinet assistant is not so smooth, and he feels that he can't stretch his hands and feet out, so naturally he won't have any good impression of Yan Qing, the current leader of Zhang Siwei's disciple party, but Yan Qing is a person who does things out of public intentions, and as a minister, he has no suppression on Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue, so everyone is okay with face.

After Yan Qing sat down, he asked straight to the point: "Elder Shen Ge, yesterday the Holy Lord summoned the right, but I don't know how to determine the reward for Wang Tong?" ”

Shen Shixing groaned very directly, and said: "Qi Sigong has already been on the fold of complaining about illness, this time it will be approved, after coming back, Wang Tong will be the commander of the Jinyi Guard, such a great achievement, it is not an exaggeration to give the position of a prince of the country, but he is so young that there will always be a promotion in the future, this time he is the marquis, and the saint still feels that it is not enough, saying that it is Tianjin Wei and Guihua City, can you set up another position for him, and the rest are the following military generals reward, and there is nothing." ”

After hearing what Shen Shixing said, Yan Qing got up from his seat, looked at Shen Shixing and said, "Elder Shen Ge, Yan asked a question?" Wang Tong has done these great things in the past few years, and this time he has made such great achievements, after he comes back, will His Majesty listen to you and me in the future, or will he listen to Wang Tong? With Wang Tong's skills, in a few years, what status will he have in His Majesty's heart? ”

Shen Shixing didn't speak, Yan Qing stepped forward and said: "If Your Majesty listens to Wang Tong in everything, and asks Wang Tong, what use do you and I need to do in this court, and what is the use of you and my relatives and friends?" ”

"Lord Yan, for the official and the public, not for your own selfishness, if it is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, then everything will be fine!"

Shen Shijing said coldly, Yan Qing didn't seem to hear it, but said in a slow voice there: "Yan is very old, and he will be on the table in two months, these deeds in the court will have nothing to do with Yan in the future, Fang Cai's words are not for himself to ask for anything, but to speak for the scholars in this world, Lord Shen and continue to listen to the music, Yan said goodbye." ”

After finishing speaking, Yan Qing nodded, turned around and left, Shen Shixing sat there, his expression did not change, after a while, the pianist behind him returned to his original position, just played, Shen Shixing raised his hand and said indifferently: "Let the old man be quiet!" ”

.................., Xuanfu Town, the mansion of Li Rusong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Li Rusong returned from training outside the city, dismounted surrounded by a family general's personal guards, threw the reins to his family, and said with a smile while walking: "Wang Tong is a bad brain, sweep the Tartars so clean, what to eat in the future, my father's teachings back then are so regretful"

A group of people were walking in, but a housekeeper ran over quickly and said, "Master, the old lady has sent the third master over!" ”
