Weng Di's sudden stroke was busy with a boatload of people, and finally an unknown Qingke appeared, and he came up with a three-edged needle and stabbed it. It was his fingers and earlobes, and he also asked Weng Hongji to break open Weng Di's mouth and prick his tongue.

"The master is awake!"

After a cup of tea, the Weng family shouted in surprise.

Shen Shaotang's heart, which was originally pounding because of excitement, gradually calmed down. As a merchant who also deals in medicinal herbs at home, he has certainly read medical books and knows that there is such a means of bloodletting to save stroke emergencies. But this is the first time I've seen someone do it, and I didn't expect it to really work!

What a shame.

If Dongshan Weng Shaoshan suffers a stroke, the Weng clan will inevitably be in chaos, and his family's shop along the canal will be contested by other Dongshan merchants. It may be difficult for Xishan merchants to profit from this, but that's how the opportunity is created.

Weng Di really opened his eyes slowly, and the corners of his drooping mouth were obviously pulled back. The son on the side wiped his saliva with a silk scarf, and kept asking like a fool: "Dad, are you okay?" Father? Are you okay? Father! You speak! ”

- It seems that there is no hope at all.

Shen Shaotang sighed secretly in his heart, suddenly pushed aside the two Weng family disciples, and grabbed the Qingke who pricked blood with a needle.

"Thanks to sir! If I hadn't been here, wouldn't I have caused a catastrophe and would have been in trouble for the rest of my life? A little thanks, please take it! Shen Shaotang stuffed the money bag around his waist into the hand of the Qingke.

The Qingke only felt that the weight of the money bag in his hand was not light, and because he had just made a great achievement, his face was full of red light, and he said: "Where, thanks to the old man's love of eating fish on weekdays......"

Shen Shaotang was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would show some irritated looks, so he didn't listen to him. He turned around and walked away, as if he was really ashamed.

Weng Di gradually gained strength, raised his hand, and pointed to Shen Shaotang's back: "Hmm, hmm, hmm......" Although the emergency of stroke was lifted, his tongue still didn't obey him, and he could only spit out vague syllables.

"Leave him alone, sir!" The crowd persuaded one after another.

Although Weng Di's body did not obey the call. But the head is still very good. There was an anxious look on his face: "Roar, roar, roar, ......"

"Uncle, don't worry, I'll send him." Weng Hongji pretended to be smart, got up and chased out.

Weng Di dropped his hand heavily, and rolled his eyes in anger: Send him to death!

Soon Weng Hongji came back, and from the calmness on his face, he didn't hear Weng Di's heart at all

Weng turned his head to look at the window, but his vision was mostly obscured. He used all his strength to get rid of the eyesore, and after a while, he saw Shen Shaotang's boat sailing into the field of vision from the blind spot.

- I refused to move the ship to see each other, it must be that someone on the ship did not want me to see it.

The muscles on Weng Di's face twitched. The lightning in his brain flashed three words: Xu! Yuan! Assist!

Shen Shaotang glanced back at the huge building ship and gradually retreated, and regretted in his heart that he had not been able to do his best. Of course, a stroke is a godsend, and it is not humanly possible. Therefore, the emergence of a clear guest with medical skills must be a providential arrangement. Maybe it was providence to let Weng Di recuperate for a few months. Mortals can't guess!

……

"Oh? Woke up so soon? It seems to have been a minor stroke. "Xu Yuanzuo is indeed as Weng Ji expected, on the Shen Jialou boat in Taihu Lake. After listening to Shen Shaotang's detailed description, Xu Yuanzuo guessed that Weng Di's emergency was not serious. However, the blood pricking is only to buy time for treatment, and if you want to really treat it, you still have to carry it home and slowly lie down and drink Chinese medicine.

INTERVIEWER It would be nice if Western medicine could prevail now. Bloodletting and enemas alone can toss the dead Weng Shaoshan.

Xu Yuanzuo shook his head slightly, once upon a time. I even have this kind of defeated dog thinking? If you don't want to strengthen yourself, you want others to fall?

"It seems that Jing Lian's trick really made the old horseman's heart turbulent!" When Shen Shaotang said this, there was a trace of ruthlessness in his eyes, but when he looked at Xu Yuanzuo, it turned into admiration.

Xu Yuanzuo waved his hand: "I didn't do anything." ”

Shen Shaotang smiled. I secretly said in my heart: What do you mean by pretending to be innocent now, we are all people in the same boat.

Xu Yuanzuo continued: "I just think that the articles in "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" are very reasonable, so I transferred it to my eldest father. Who knew that the eldest father was transferred to several proud protégés. To tell you the truth, I didn't know that Lin Zhenheng, who was the third sacrifice of the national teacher, was actually a student of the eldest father! ”

- Hey, you're pretending too much!

Shen Shaotang said secretly in his heart. But there was still a smile on his face, and he said: "Lin Zhenheng, his ancestor, his father, and himself have all served as the country's son of the country's sacrificial wine, and the three generations of national teachers have sacrificed wine, which is a good story of the national dynasty!" ”

"I'm a student, and I'm still a little far away from the Guozijian." Xu Yuanzuo continued to skim the way.

Of course, Shen Shaotang would not be so bored as to amuse Xu Yuanzuo. His emotional intelligence is not so low that Xu Yuanzuo refuses to admit it, and he insists on forcing him to admit it. However, in order to find out how deep the water is on Xu Yuanzuo's side, what are the chances of the Shen family cooperating with him, and whether they can withstand the suppression of the Gao Party, even if others pretend to be stupid, they have to make it clear.

What's more, pretending to be stupid is also an attitude and a reply.

"Lin Zhenheng was taught by Shaohu Gong when he was in the Hanlin Academy, and Shaohu Gong once praised him as 'can soothe the world', and the two should have been close to each other." Shen Shaotang asked.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled.

"Before Xu Ge Lao Zhishi, he intended to recommend Lin Zhenheng to the cabinet, didn't Jing Lian know?" Shen Shaotang turned out the events of the second year of Longqing, this is a change between the top levels of the country, ordinary people have no way of hearing about it, but the wealthy businessmen and the Shilin eunuchs should know it clearly.

"Then why was he transferred to the Nanjing Ministry as a waiter?" Xu Yuanzuo asked rhetorically, as if he really didn't know.

Shen Shaotang smiled embarrassedly: "This should be what I asked Jing Lian for." ”

Although Nanjing has another set of imperial court teams, it is like a shadow cabinet, with complete personnel. However, there were only three people who were really in power: the counselor of the Nanjing Military Department, the Nanjing garrison military minister, and the Nanjing garrison eunuch - that is, the inner garrison. These three people formed an iron triangle of civil ministers, military ministers, and ministers, ensuring that the Nanzhi side was available for backup.

Therefore, the other Shangshu in Nanjing are only honorary positions, or standby, or pension. Lin Xian was transferred to the Nanjing Ministry of Officials before entering the cabinet, which is enough to prove that there is no room for reconciliation between the contradictions between Emperor Longqing and Xu Jie. It's no wonder that Xu Jie sighed: "Who says that the world is up to me?" I can't leave a forest for the country yet. ”

"How would I know that?" Xu Yuanzuo smiled and said, "Brother Shen, there are many things that we can't control. Do your best, let it be the fate of heaven. ”

Shen Shaotang had never seen such a brazen person, and he didn't even let him out of the way.

Xu Yuanzuo is not the kind of person who has no scruples about preaching everywhere under the banner of a politician. Especially at this time, Gao Gong is fighting with Zhao Zhenji, and it is not wise to get involved on either side.

Although on the surface, Cho Jung-gil has a higher status in the cabinet. And I heard that he had successfully persuaded the emperor, took charge of the affairs of the Imperial Court, and was in charge of the imperial history of the world, but in history, Gao Gong was able to successfully defeat him, and he was not ousted by Zhang Juzheng until Wanli ascended to the pole, which must be the reason.

After Shen Shaotang sent Xu Yuanzuo away, of course, he was not interested in swimming in the lake. He returned home and put together a copy of the day's events and presented them to his father and uncles. As a representative of the young generation of the Shen family. Shen Shaotang is quite favored by several uncles and uncles, but his father is not concerned about family affairs because he has been pampered since he was a child, and he is more like a rice worm.

The Shen family attached great importance to the news that Shen Shaotang brought back, and was especially curious about what article Xu Yuanzuo had written, so that Weng Di had a stroke.

At that time, this article was brought to the ship by Xu Yuanzuo himself, and even Shen Shaotang only had the opportunity to read it twice on the way in the past. When he got home, he wrote it down silently. There are a lot of missing sentences in it, and the writing is ruined. But the general meaning is clear. Before he could think about it carefully and fill in the gaps, several uncles had already summoned him into the inner hall and closed the door to ask questions.

In the inner hall of the Shen family, Shen Shaotang had the qualifications to sit down for the first time, and he was inevitably a little excited in his heart.

The first half of the article praised the officials of Songjiang Huatingfu County for their dedication to disaster relief. The nonsense of how many practical things have been done is nothing more than to beg for merit and sell it. Shen Shaotang presented his dictated manuscript and explained on the side.

"Are these numbers conclusive?" The third uncle asked.

Shen Shaotang said: "Xu Yuanzuo came as soon as he opened his mouth, it doesn't look like a fake. ”

"Matsue has to send someone to take a look." The uncle who was in charge of the family business said loudly: "Don't forget. ”

In large families, there is income only when there are errands. Otherwise, it's just a little bit of a month, what is enough? Shen Shaotang liked this kind of business trip the most, and hurriedly agreed to it.

Several uncles looked at half of it, and they all stared and inhaled, obviously quite shocked.

Shen Shaotang remembered his surprise when he first saw it, and said with a smile: ""Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" sounds like a miscellaneous book that talks about the tracks, but now the big and small things that happen in the Songjiang realm will be told above. Twice a month, Shuowang publishes in various bookstores, and there are many buyers. ”

"Many?"

"About 10,000 copies are printed in each issue, but even then the supply is still in short supply, and there are even bookstores that specialize in copying this issue." Shen Shaotang said.

"Ten thousand copies!" The uncles of the Shen family smacked their tongues and said, "Isn't there this "Quyuan Miscellaneous Tan" where there are readers?" ”

"I'm afraid so." Shen Shaotang said.

"Then it says: The Suzhou government has explicitly ordered that it is not allowed to flee the famine, but it is to defraud large households of donations, claiming to emulate Songjiang, but in fact, it is disregarding the lives of the victims, and only wants to harm others and enrich themselves......" The second uncle of the Shen family glanced at ten lines and saw the back: "It also said that the Weng family wants to donate 500,000 taels to make 'horse bones', and when they receive donations from other wealthy families, they will recover 700,000 taels with interest...... How do I feel like it's not real? ”

How many rumors seem to be true? Eating mung beans and loaches raw can cure all diseases, and this kind of thing is fake to think about with your toes, right? It depends on who says it!

"The child doesn't know whether it's true or not, but Lin Zhenheng's biography of Zhao Dazhou is like this, obviously he believes it." Shen Shaotang said.

Uncle Shen said: "Lin Zhenheng said so, who in the world can not believe it?" And it seems to make sense here, the Weng family and the Cai Governor's Mansion may not be able to do such things. ”

"Especially Zhao Dazhou is particularly willing to believe." Uncle Shen said: "Gaoxin Zheng wants to dig the Jiaolai River, and now it is in trouble with Shandong and Caoyun, if Suzhou makes this incident again, it will really be a fire in the backyard." ”

Although Suzhou is only a prefecture, it accounts for 17 percent of the country's grain, nearly one-fifth, and is definitely a place where you can go directly to the sky. Therefore, being able to serve as the prefect of Suzhou is naturally a highlight of the career, but if you don't do well in this position and make all kinds of trouble, your career will be at the top.

"If you come to check it above, won't it be exposed?" The second uncle of the Shen family said worriedly.

Uncle glanced at Shen Shaotang and said, "That's why Xu Jinglian asked my family to deliver the letter." ”

Weng Di knows very well that he has never done such a thing, how can he lie to others with empty mouths and white teeth? However, Shen Shaotang sent a letter to the past, and Lin Zhenheng wrote a letter to Beijing, which shows that from Suzhou to Nanjing, there are already witnesses. According to the legal thinking of the Ming Dynasty, human and physical evidence are very important, but in the case of conclusive human evidence and the absence of physical evidence, you can be convicted only on the basis of human evidence, and you can even use torture to extract confession: Where did you hide the physical evidence!

"This is my Shen family's vote!" Third Uncle Shen shouted.

The others nodded.

In this world, we do business together, and the contract is unreliable, who can rest assured if you don't submit a vote?

At least Xu Yuanzuo is not at ease.

The officials of Suzhou Prefecture almost explicitly ordered that the victims of the disaster should not be allowed to leave their homes to eat, and this is a fact, and no one can deny it. The remaining victims have indeed been relieved, and some counties that have moved quickly have collected donations from local large households as usual. Now some people say that this is the collusion of officials and businessmen to make profits from the victims, and there is Shen testifying, Lin Zhenheng supports, it really makes Huang Ni fall into the crotch of his pants - not is.

Weng and Cai Guoxi, neither of them can escape.

"Forming an alliance with the Songjiang Xu family is my nod." Uncle Shen said.

"Big brother, we have always been in the Jingchu business, why get involved in it?" The second uncle of the Shen family was puzzled.

Uncle Shen said: "With three points." First, Xu's will increase investment in the dyeing workshop this year, and will start with a large number of indigo from my family; Second, this year, Su Songchang is mostly going to have a bad harvest, Xu Jinglian asked my family to do a rice business together, each with 200,000 taels; Third, once the cloth shop controlled by the Dongshan people falls, we can contact the Xishan families and take over the cloth business, and the Xu family is willing to support us. ”

If the first is an order to show sincerity, then the last two are already a full-fledged alliance.

What else can the rest of the Shen family say? Obviously, the boss of the Shen family did not ventilate in advance, because he was afraid that someone would think about it and miss the opportunity.

Although the second uncle of the Shen family did not question the eldest brother's decision-making, he was still a little unwilling, and said, "Big brother, what is Xu Jinglian's ability to make you so unhesitating?" ”

"Because I've heard," Boss Shen pursed his lips, "he's going to open a port overseas." ”

Shen Shaotang was so shocked that he almost jumped up.
