Song Wenxian and Zuo Changhao entered the house together, and then said: "Brother Zuo now knows, what kind of life I am waiting for in Beijing, I am a little eunuch, and I don't know if there is a fifteen-year-old who can show us a look." ”

Zuo Changhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, he quite understood Song Wenxian, his role was actually similar to Song Wenxian, he was the director of Xu Xinsu's office in Nanjing, and all kinds of officials had to deal with, including eunuchs.

Zhang Dahui continued: "This little eunuch is not very simple, Cao Huachun sends him to contact him whenever there is a major event, and he has never had an accident, this person looks frivolous, and he is very careful in doing things." ”

Zuo Changhao and Song Wenxian didn't have a good impression of this little eunuch, and they were not interested in continuing to talk about him, Zuo Changhao blinked and said to Song Wenxian: "I only remembered one thing below, in case Zheng Zhilong really came to Juehua Island, with his ability, he might be able to make a name for himself." ”

Song Wenxian and Zhang Dahui laughed at the same time, "Brother Zuo doesn't know how muddy the water of Guan Ningjun is, and Lord Chen doesn't dare to go, in the first year of Chongzhen, Ning Yuan's mutiny forced Bi Zisu to death, last year there was a man named Mao Yuanyi, who was the deputy general of the Juehua Island battalion, who was forced by the rebels with a knife, and finally had to rely on Zhou Wenyu to intercede before releasing it, this is still the time of Chengping, not to mention wartime, Zu Dashou dared to break out of the pass at the feet of the Jingshi, and there was no, since then Guan Ning has been even more domineering, Brother Zuo, think about it, how can Zheng Zhilong and He De come to suppress this gang of Qiu Ba, If he really dares to leave the old nest in Fujian and come to Juehua Island, without Brother Zuo, you can kill those Qiu Ba, even if he swallows his anger, it is just a mess, it is not better to clean up. He didn't dare to come. ”

Zuo Changhao rarely came to the north, and when he heard the situation of the Guan Ning army, he opened his mouth slightly in surprise, he knew that the Guan Ning army was dominant, but the army could be so dominant, which was indeed unheard of in the south.

Zhang Dahui said: "Mr. Zuo, you know why Lord Chen is reluctant to go to Liaozhen. ”

Zuo Changhao sighed: "Lord Chen and Lord Xu are very human, and they are always unexpected. His mind naturally couldn't guess, come on, the big thing is done. We still have small things to do, and there are a few old acquaintances from Fujian who came to Beijing as officials, and we still have to visit them. I came back in the evening and drank with the two of you. ”

Song Wenxian and Zhang Dahui hurriedly stood up to see each other, Zhang Dahui sent someone to guide him, and Zuo Changhao led the three bodyguards out of the door.

Song Wenxian patted his forehead after sitting down, and lay comfortably on the back of the chair, "This matter is finished, we have to follow and see the situation behind, Fujian and Beijing are far away, the news can't be transmitted for a while, you have to remember this at the conference." ”

Zhang Dahui agreed, picked up a piece of sugar cake from the table and ate it. The two chatted casually, talking about some interesting things about Jingshi, until there was a sound of surprise outside the door.

Zhang Dahui listened carefully, and then the voice of Dan Lang was selling, and the end note was quite peculiar. He stood in the garden, and a mother-in-law went to open the door, and asked loudly if there was agarwood in Danlang, and a Danlang would be let in later.

After closing the door, Tanro does not sell anything, but takes off his hat. Zhang Dahui greeted him, and after the two whispered for a while, Dan Lang left.

Zhang Dahui came back and said: "Mr. Song, impeaching Liang Tingdong, that Shui Jiayin, there is a change today. ”

"What's going on?"

"It seems that there is real evidence that Liang Tingdong accepted bribes, so let's take care of this matter?"

Song Wenxian sat up straight from the chair, the expression on his face was constantly changing, at such a cusp, if Shui Jiayin had real evidence, the officials would definitely drown Liang Tingdong with saliva, even if the emperor wanted to stay, he was afraid that he would not be able to keep it.

"Where did the news come from?"

"Recently, I have been monitoring Shui Jiayin's house, today there is a Zhou Yanru's housekeeper who has entered, I just had a magpie inserted in to be a maid, Shui Jiayin got carried away after sending that person away, she heard scattered words, it seems to be a letter between Liang Tingdong and An Guodong."

Song Wenxian stroked his beard slowly, now the two sides in the cabinet are evenly matched, and the open and secret battles are becoming more and more intense, Liang Tingdong was quite swaying at the beginning, but now he is closer to Wen Tiren, since Zhou Yanru has started to deal with him, it means that he has torn his face. Qian Xiangkun of the cabinet was originally Wen Tiren's protégé, but he was unwilling to participate in this matter, and begged for rest due to illness in June, and Wen Tiren is now at a slight disadvantage. If they can keep the strong reinforcements outside this cabinet, it will be of great benefit to Wen Tiren, and according to Chen Xin's principle of firmly supporting Wen Tiren, they can help this anxious soldier.

After thinking carefully for a while, he resolutely said: "Tube, let's send Liang Tingdong thousands of silver every year, if he collapses, who knows whose person will come up, we have to open the joint again, and now that he is in the middle of the great victory of Mi Island, it is better for him to keep it, you go and do it yourself, you must get the letter...... In the lotus pond in the southwest of Weihai Acropolis, two pleasure boats gently paddle the water surface in the open space, and lotus flowers bloom all around the pleasure boats, as if they are in a flower lake.

"Picking lotus in Nantang Autumn, lotus flower is over the head, lady, is it knowledgeable for her husband."

"What's next?"

"Wait until you can pick lotus roots, and people will pass the lotus."

"What man is so tall?"

"Pile up enemy heads!" Chen Xin killed a mosquito on his arm with a snap and threw it into the water outside the side of the boat.

Zhao Xiang, whose lower abdomen was slightly bulging, sat opposite him and sneered when he heard it, "Little family, it's rare to go out on an autumn trip today, why do you have to say something bad about the scenery." ”

"You don't hear 'autumn travel, apricot blossoms blow all over your head'. It can be seen that the head of the person does not spoil the scenery at all, look at these verses, it is not someone else's head, or your own head. ”

Zhao Xiang shook his head and looked at Chen Xin with a smile: "It's a spring trip, why do you only remember one or two sentences, and you are so wrong." ”

Chen Xin replied casually: "Because only those few sentences are the most famous." ”

Zhao Xiang asked strangely: "Do you still want to test these verses for the exam?" ”

Chen Xin looked proud, "Of course you have to take the test, otherwise how can you remember so much for your husband." ”

"Then I'll test you again, the red apricot branches are in spring, what's the next sentence?"

"Hurry out of the wall!"

The two maidservants next to him covered their mouths and laughed, Zhao Xiang picked up the sachet next to him and threw it over, Chen Xin stretched out his hand to take it before he smiled and said, "Today, I specially invited the lady to go out for a walk." The lady should not be angry, and it will not be good if the child in her belly is angry. ”

Zhao Xiang's mouth pursed slightly, "My mother said that if you are pregnant with a child, you should go home to protect the baby, you want people to come out, and you also made up nonsense to worship Guanyin." ”

"What if you don't come out and walk around, the air at home is not well ventilated, and the air outside is good. Abundant negative oxygen ions are beneficial to physical and mental health. ”

Chen Xin's mouth often inadvertently bursts out of some words that he doesn't understand, and Zhao Xiang is used to it. Usually I don't understand after asking, because Chen Xin himself doesn't understand much, and most of them don't understand it. So Zhao Xiang didn't bother to ask now, just understand the part that he could understand.

The boat slowly approached the shore, Yang Yunnong, who was like a big round ball and a small round ball, was waiting there with a charming smile, he was sweating profusely, and his face was shiny, as if he had been sunburned with a layer of oil, but he didn't care about it at this time, and when he saw Chen Xin getting off the boat, he hurriedly stretched out his chubby hand to help him.

"How Commander Yang is staying here, didn't he say it before. You go to the Wangcui Tower to rest first, why bother so hard. ”

Yang Yunnong nodded and followed Chen Xin's side, "It's not hard, it's not hard, this." Chen Dacai is hard, the first two months to go to the island, and then fight to promote my Ming army, the villain learned the news, he only hated his martial arts is not good, can not kill the enemy with the adult. The regret of life is really the regret of life! ”

Chen Xin smiled slightly, first turned around and stretched out his hand to pick up Zhao Xiang off the boat, Yang Yunnong was slightly surprised when he saw Chen Xin behaving like this, and then changed to a charming smile and bowed down to see Zhao Xiang.

Zhao Xiang was quite amused by Yang Yunnong's appearance, so she had to purse her lips and return the blessing, but finally couldn't help laughing.

Several people entered Wangcui Building together, after the sunlight was blocked, Yang Yunnong, the fat man, was finally not so uncomfortable, Zhao Xiangjing went to a private room to rest, Yang Yunnong waited for Chen Xin to sit down, and diligently made tea himself.

Chen Xin did not refuse, and when Yang Yunnong finished his busy work, he beckoned him to sit down, and then said: "Commander Yang doesn't have to be so polite, Weihaiwei's performance is good this year, and it is all the credit of Commander Yang." ”

Yang Yunnong said that most of the military households in Weihai went to the tunpu of Wendeng Camp, and Chen Xinjun was powerful, and he did not dare to chase it back, but most of the military fields were unplanted, forcing the officers to reduce exploitation and greatly reduce the land rent.

At this time, there was this opportunity, and he hurriedly said to Chen Xin: "My lord, here, the villain has something to say, I'm afraid that the adult will be angry, but the Weihai Weijun is all ......."

"They all fled the famine, this northland, it's all like this, but the performance appraisal still can't be discounted, because Dengzhou hasn't reduced my number."

Yang Yunnong's face wrinkled when he heard this, Chen Xin picked up the tea and took a sip, pointed to the chair opposite, and motioned for Yang Yunnong to sit down, "But Commander Yang took care of this official a lot back then, and Weihai is also under the jurisdiction of this official, so I can't look at you embarrassed, and we don't need those nonsense between us. ”

Yang Yunnong sat in a corner, listened and hesitated: "Is it a private field or a military field in the public school?" ”

Chen Xin waved his hand, "The private land is customized, you naturally keep what should be yours, but it is not okay to swallow it, the way of the world is different now, every year there is drought and little rain, you don't grow food, why bother to occupy a name." ”

Yang Yunnong knew that Chen Xin was determined to collect their fields, and now Wendeng Camp was in the limelight of the great victory on Mi Island, who of these guards dared to disobey his orders, and the performance evaluation of several military guards was originally under his control, and Yang Yunnong knew Chen Xin better, his heart was still very dark, and his face was also very thick, and it was possible that he could not take his life.

Now Wang Yuanzheng has already taken refuge in Chen Xin, and has handed over his land to Wendeng Camp, in exchange for a shop in the old camp of Wendeng Camp, not only made a lot of money, but also has Chen Xin as a backer, and now he is not on duty in Weihai at all, Yang Yunnong has never dared to manage him, I heard that Wang Yuanzheng is also planning to compete with himself for the command of the palm print, so Yang Yunnong feels a huge sense of crisis.

He immediately said: "The lord took the field, it is really for the lower officials to share their worries, and the lower officials will promise the lord here, as for the fields of other military generals, the lower officials will let them hand it over, but if the military fields are handed over to the Wendeng camp, Weihai's annual grain tax is afraid to be ......."

"I took your field, naturally I will help you pay this tax, since the field is handed over, Wendeng Camp and Weihaiwei will be one in the future, Chengshan Jinghai is the same, Lord Yang, you don't have to take care of Tuntian in the future, but outside, these fields are still Weihaiwei's military fields." Chen Xin doesn't care about the grain tax, as long as there is no greed for ink in the middle links, in fact, the tax of the Ming Dynasty is not heavy at all, he needs the military land of Sanwei to settle more and more displaced people, and he can't move those households and gentry for the time being, but Sanwei is under his jurisdiction, and he can no longer tolerate the waste of resources in front of him.

Yang Yunnong flattered: "Wendeng Sanwei and one battalion will definitely be able to work together under the hands of adults, but the adults are sent, and the villains must do their best." ”

Chen Xin accepted the things and immediately gave Yang Yunnong benefits, "You can open a cigarette shop in the Acropolis and sell my Wendeng Camp's cigarettes, there are four stores in Weihai, and I will give you two, but all the prices must be sold according to the trading company." ”

Yang Yunnong was overjoyed, now cigarettes are very popular in Weihai, but Wendeng Camp does not sell, only a small amount flows to Weihai, the price is fried to 30 Wen a pack, opening his own cigarette shop, is a profitable business, but he still has something to ask, tentatively said: "The villain thanked the adult, but Weizhong still has Tongzhi, thousands of households, and calm, if they hand over the field, how should they be settled." ”

"Why do you need to resettle, the fields they should keep are kept, and each family cannot have more than three tenants, and after Tunpu opens a canal and allows them to use water in one piece, it will solve their livelihood."

"This ...... They were all a big family, and they used to point to some fields to live. ”

"There are not many fields in the army, how can we feed these many people, and how to appease them, I have to ask Lord Yang to move his mind." Chen Xin turned his head to look at Yang Yunnong, "There is still a southern goods business in this official, if they are willing to do something, they can set up their own shop in the Acropolis, there is no one who can't support themselves, you have also been to the old camp of Wendeng Camp before, where can you get the money to earn, now you look at it, what kind of business does not make money, everyone is guarding a little field, everyone has run out, whose money is earned, in the future, it will be integrated with Wendeng Camp, the population will increase, and the business will be prosperous, wouldn't it be better than the current pool of stagnant water, change their brains, Commander Yang, you will tell them as I say, The officer didn't want to hear that anyone was making trouble, and neither did the soldiers. ”

Yang Yunnong knelt down and said: "The lower officials have understood, the way of the world is different, those people should also change their minds, and the lower officials must persuade them." ”

"If you can't be convinced, sign up for the word official, you work hard, I won't treat you badly, this year's autumn class, the official will go to the Ministry of War and the emperor to apply, so there is no need to send it." rs
