Risa Sugatani next to him was stunned, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and look at the two of them carefully, only to see his Royal Highness opening his eyes vigorously, and seemed to be a little angry? Risha is not sure, however, it seems that His Royal Highness's face soon softened, and half of his eyes were slightly covered, because His Highness's nose was like a jade pillar, he leaned forward slightly, and the cheeks of the two were tightly together, forming a very strange posture, from Risha's angle, it seemed that Miss Liubao'er's nose was also suppressed, could it be ...... Doesn't she need to breathe?

She stared at the two of them tightly, and after a moment, she felt that her cheeks were hot, and she couldn't help but cover her face with her hands, but her eyes were reluctant to take her eyes off His Highness...... At this moment, a person hurriedly broke in from outside the garden, and as soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Fengzhang, something is wrong, something is wrong...... Uh......"

The obedient official didn't hear it, greedily sucking the delicate lilac tongue, but Liubao'er was a shock to her delicate body, and immediately reached out to push the obedient official away, raised her hand, snapped, and slapped the obedient official's cheek.

Covering his face in disbelief, the obedient official said loudly: "You are crazy! Hit me for what! Liu Bao'er's eyes widened with shame and anger, "Who...... Who told you to stick your tongue into someone's mouth......" Halfway through the words, he glanced at the man who broke in, and a layer of blood suddenly surged up on his face, from crimson to purple, with an indescribable look of shame, he covered his cheeks with both hands, turned his head and ran, leaving the good official alone.

Dong Qichang, who broke in, knew that this was a girl who couldn't hold it on her face, but Feng Zhang's slap was a little wronged, it seemed that he was unlucky, so he coughed heavily at the moment, and walked quickly to the good official, "This...... It seems that it is not the right time to come for my brother...... It's hurt Feng Zhang, you have eaten it...... Hey! As he spoke, he couldn't help but laugh.

The obedient official laughed ill-intentioned when he heard him, and he was even more angry, covering his cheeks and saying, "Inexplicable, you obviously kissed me forcibly, and you still want to talk about me...... Hum! Dong Qichang immediately said: "Virtuous brother, this, for the brother is to say you, the girl's family is thin-skinned, as a man, you have to be considerate here, is it possible that you can't say that you are lustful in front of your brother, and you also take care of the face of other girls, men, some lust is tight, don't the elders also remember, Haigangfeng is sixty years old and accepts sixteen-year-old concubines!" So, you! is still a child's temper, it can be seen that those who are born to know may not be omniscient! Ha ha! ”

He laughed out loud as he spoke, and the obedient official was outstanding, pressing him Dong Qichang and Chen Jiru to be no different from ordinary scholars, although the three of them were also brothers, but they finally seized this opportunity to ridicule the good official, how could they let it go!

The more beautiful the woman is, the more proud the more talented the man, the more obedient the official feels that there is nothing wrong with him, but this slap is indeed a little inexplicable, and he put down his hand at the moment, and couldn't help but hum, Dong Qichang looked at his face, and couldn't help but persuade him: "Guan Zi said [Proud and extravagant, detached from reason, its only disaster, blessing is not enough], Fengzhang, you are now in the world, but you must not be proud!" ”

The obedient official was a little unconvinced by what he said, and his pride could be pulled to the pipe, so he immediately said: "Big brother, you can't only allow women to be proud but not men to be proud!" ”

Pursing the corners of his mouth, Dong Qichang said: "A woman is virtuous if she is not talented, so why not let her be arrogant, Feng Zhang, I advise you for my brother, if you have time, you might as well read Uncle Zhang's "Female Commandments Straight Explanation", or have an insight......" The obedient official was suddenly laughed at by what he said, and immediately said: "Okay, okay, I know, in the future, when I see other people's daughters, I will be lustful, big brother, how come I came from Nanjing, what is the big thing, even the eldest brother Nanzhili Yayuan can't hold it!" In the end, I couldn't help but stab slightly.

Being reminded by him, Dong Qichang suddenly slapped his forehead with his hand, "I almost forgot about it because of your interruption, this is a really big deal, this Cao Gang suddenly stopped all ships coming and going, don't you think that food prices have risen recently?" ”

The obedient official was stunned for a moment, and couldn't understand the meaning for a while, Dong Qichang stomped his feet, "The entire Nanzhili, including Zhejiang, most of the mulberry trees are planted, and silk is produced......

The obedient official was dumbfounded, which completely subverted his cognition, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the land of fish and rice, had to rely on the grain of Shandong and Henan to eat enough for the common people...... At this time, Dong Qichang slapped his forehead with his hand again and again, but he was annoyed, "This thing is to blame for my brother, you are young, and you grew up in Yanjing since childhood, you have never walked the world, you have not seen the suffering of the people, you are over thirty years old for your brother, you have traveled all over the world all the year round, and you boast of being a talent in the world.......

This is a typical example of scholars misleading the country, don't the elders of the central cabinet know the harmful surname of the Cao Gang? Millions of gangs, and colluded with the Caoyun Yamen, which is very harmful, but there are inextricably tangled places, not to mention anything else, Nanzhili and Zhejiang are both large silk-producing provinces, what should I do if there is not enough food? It can only be transferred from Henan and Shandong, that is to say, the grain from the north is transported to the south, otherwise, the silk households in the south of the Yangtze River can't even eat, and not to mention the rebellion or rebellion, just can't weave silk, the finance of the Ming Dynasty will be sharply reduced, of course, among them, the businessman makes a big head, and the court just takes a small profit, but even if it is a small profit, the court can't help but not do it, which is called drinking water to quench thirst.

And the good official only took into account the problem of transporting grain from the south to the north, he didn't know, of course, even if he told him, he wouldn't believe it, Nanzhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang couldn't even afford to eat rice, even at this time, he was still a little unbelievable.

"If there is no grain in Jiangnan, why do you have to transport grain to Beijing every year?" The good official couldn't help but ask loudly.

"If the grain doesn't go to Beijing, the people of Jiangnan will have enough, the truth is this, but, Fengzhang, have you ever thought about it, if the two provinces don't pay the grain, what will other provinces think? Or do they also have local food? The officials of the river, the guards along the river, the Caoyun and even the six departments of Nanjing, don't they have nothing to do? "Dong Qichang is a great talent, he just didn't expect the Cao Gang to come to threaten the imperial court, you know, this is the autumn queen, this has just been harvested!

He stomped his feet again and again and muttered, "If the entire Jiangnan can't even eat rice at this time, what will the people of the world think?" Will the people rebel? Will the scholars make trouble? The most important thing is that when the time comes, everyone will think, will Uncle Zheng Guo, who made up the shipping of grain, step down? We have a lot of such people in the Ming Dynasty, if you do a good deed, they will look on coldly, if you do a good deed, they can't wait to jump out......"

Hearing Dong Qichang's words, the obedient official suddenly staggered back a few steps, and Risha Sugaya, who had been thinking about His Highness, saw it and immediately hugged His Highness tightly.

"It's useless to be a scholar, I thought that I was the uncle of the country, my sister was the imperial concubine, my brother-in-law was the emperor, and the background was solid, as long as I was willing to do things for the people, the affairs of the world were not ...... in the palm of my hand" The obedient official muttered in a low voice, Dong Qichang couldn't help but be slightly surprised when he heard him talk about the imperial concubine, but this is not the time to care about such small verbal mistakes, so he immediately said: "Feng Zhang, don't think too much, you have done a good job, it's just that if villains are rampant today, you and my brother can't retreat at this time!" ”

"Your Highness is the reincarnation of the Great Bodhisattva, but you also need a vajra thunderbolt to save the world!" Risa Sugya, who was holding the obedient official, suddenly interjected.

Dong Qichang was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "What should you do?" ”

Risha Sugatani's face immediately flushed, this is His Highness's sworn brother! She stammered and whispered, "There was also a famine in His Highness Daoxue's territory a few years ago, when His Highness Daoxue came forward to ask Hakata Sanjie to transport rice, and a boatload of boats was piled up on the dock, and at the same time, he killed a few merchants who hoarded Juqi......"

Dong Qichang's face was suddenly slightly disappointed, this kind of means, but ordinary, not to mention, such things as killing chickens and monkeys may be able to be done in Fusang, but Daming is not very feasible.

But the obedient official's eyes suddenly lit up, this kind of means, for him, a former otaku, is the best means, as the so-called, one force to ten will, too deep means, where does he have the ability to toss, perhaps, in another twenty years, he has been in the officialdom for twenty years, that's about the same.

Grabbing Dong Qichang, he asked loudly: "Big brother, do you estimate, how long can the grain of the entire Nanzhili be supported?" ”

Dong Qichang knew what he wanted to do when he heard his tone, and immediately became anxious, "You can't mess around, killing people and other things, bad reputation, if you kill too much, who will do things for you in the future!" ”

The obedient official reached out and patted Risha's hand holding him, and Risha Sugatani realized that he was still hugging His Highness tightly, his face turned red, and he immediately took two steps back.

"Big brother, the best way to solve the contradiction is to transfer the contradiction." The obedient official recovered from Fang Cai's shock at this time, and had a somewhat calm attitude, "I naturally know that the bad reputation of killing people is good, but what if it is the traitor who annihilates the country!" Kill the majority, I'm afraid, it's still good! ”

The word Han Annihilation, from the Qing Dynasty Yongzheng time to change the land and return to the stream, it is said that the change of the land and return to the stream is aimed at the hereditary Tusi of the ethnic minorities, but everything exists, there must be interests entangled, so many people use this to fight against the imperial court, Yongzheng and Qianlong have issued an edict, saying that the Miao people are in turmoil, and Han Annihilation is colluded, I don't know how these two Manchus came up with such a word.

When Dong Qichang heard this word, he couldn't help but be surprised, but the meaning of this word was easy to understand, and he nodded immediately, "The truth is right, but now there is no mess, and it is not easy to buckle the hat!" ”

Jiajing Dynasty and Longqing Dynasty, many officials in Jiangnan have deducted each other's hats as collusion with the Japanese Invaders, such crimes, but all those who mix with officialdom are necessary skills, Dong Qichang is in his thirties, and he can often hear similar rumors when he is young, however, since the beginning of the Wanli Dynasty, this hat of colluding with the Japanese is not very effective, if you want to deduct the hat of others to collude with the Japanese Kou, there must be a Japanese Kou to succeed! There are no widows, how can they be deducted.

The corners of the obedient official's mouth curled, and he sneered: "Isn't there still little Luzon!" Let's just say that they colluded with Little Luzon. ”

Dong Qichang suddenly shuddered, the imperial court had just died 50,000 merchants in Little Luzon, at this time, he had even imagined that those hoarding grain merchants were divided into corpses by angry people...... After a little hesitation, he couldn't help but say, "This ...... Isn't it too ruthless, although hoarding is hateful, it is also a commercial method. "The Ming Dynasty has developed commerce and trade, from the middle of the Ming Dynasty, merchants continue to hold all kinds of rights, when the year of Chenghua, Yanjing merchants strike (urban shop helpers, all heard the wind and hid avoid, to close the door to strike tired - Ming "Shuyuan Miscellaneous", Lu Rong), what Jinyiwei, Dongchang, suddenly became a joke, you are ruthless, whether you want to dress, whether to eat, to eat and drink, all inseparable from merchants, in the end, the court also had to succumb.

The businessmen found that it turned out that everyone united, the power is so great, since then, for more than 100 years, businessmen can indeed influence the government, not to mention anything else, such as Zhang Siwei, Xu Guo and other wealthy merchant families can do the old age, it has fully explained the problem, more than 100 years of edification, public opinion actually recognizes such means, that business buy low and sell high, hoarding, these are normal roads, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, countless scripts, many of the protagonists of the lyrics are rich by doing business, The means is nothing more than to see the opportunity, buy a large number of bargains and other appreciation, and then accumulate thousands of furniture, such a means, in fact, has been accepted and recognized by the common people, officials even openly said that it is natural to do business, otherwise, how to support the family, even many Confucianism is also such a tone.

Therefore, the obedient official deducted the hat of colluding with Xiao Luzon by those grain merchants who hoarded Juqi, Dong Qichang couldn't help but feel that this was too ruthless, and it seemed to hurt Yin morality, you know, the real collusion with Xiao Luzon is you, Zheng Guofan!

Hearing Dong Qichang's hesitation, the obedient official said, "Then, what good idea does the eldest brother have?" Dong Qichang was speechless for a moment, if he had a good idea, he would immediately do it in Nanjing, why not come from Nanjing to Suzhou to discuss with a good official, it's not a rut.

"I have already repaired a letter from the imperial court to Ningbo, so that the fat man wants to transfer some food back from Tianjin, but the far water is not close to the fire......" Dong Qichang sighed, he has actually made a lot of hand arrangements, you must know that many things are let go of the good official to let him do, to be honest, he does it and the good official to do, the difference is not big, now many powerful people also know that this person is the person in front of the uncle of the country, and the root foot must be on the side of Concubine De Niangniang, if it is not unexpected, next year's Empress Dowager will be born on the Enke, This first-class jinshi can't run away.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to bring in food!" The obedient official sneered, he settled down at this time to think about it, just the Cao Gang, that is already a long breath, although there is a dog jumping off the wall in a hurry, but he still doesn't believe that the Cao Gang has the courage to dare to do this with a knife and a gun, you know, this is equivalent to a suspicion of rebellion! Then, there must be someone behind the Cao Gang, and if the other party can come up with such a dirty method, he naturally has a plan, he estimated, not to mention the grain in Shandong and Henan, I am afraid that Huguang will not be able to transfer it, and he can even sketch such a picture in his mind: A man with a face hidden in the dark said in a calm voice [Grain of rice is not allowed to enter Nanzhili].

Therefore, even if it is to copy the homes of those grain merchants who are hoarding and hoarding, it will be difficult to survive until next year.

Dong Qichang stomped his feet, gritted his back molars, and said categorically: "Okay!" Kill it, kill it, but the food still has to be adjusted! Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't survive next year. ”

The obedient official thought about it, turned around and ordered a few words from Sugatani Risha, Risha nodded and walked quickly, while the obedient official comforted Dong Qichang and said: "Big brother, it's all come to this point, don't worry, although this matter is tricky, but our brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are broken, so we should be old now." As he spoke, he laughed.

When Dong Qichang heard this, he also laughed, isn't this the heart of the elder Ge, and the two of them immediately laughed.

Suddenly, Su Song's governor Liang Wenru walked in, and the obedient official was not polite to him, and when he made his words clear, Liang Wenru was suddenly shocked, you know, if there is really a big mess in the place, the first thing to be removed is him, the governor of Nanzhili!

"Brother Ziai, the soldiers and horses of Nan Zhili are all under your control, I don't care what method you use, if you want silver, just open your mouth, but the military guard can't be messed up." The obedient official ordered this second-grade feudal territory, Liang Wenru had to die even if it was for his own future at this time, and nodded at the moment, "Uncle Guo can rest assured, he will definitely not be able to let some people with intentions succeed." He arched his hand and hurried away.

"He and I are grasshoppers on the same rope now, and we can't run away." The obedient official smiled and said, Dong Qichang couldn't help but shake his head when he heard his joke.

After another half an hour, Li Yichang Li Bancheng went and returned, and the obedient official was not polite to him, and directly said to him: "Bao'er, I will accept her into the room in the past few days......" Before Li Yichang's face was happy, he said what Fang Cai said, Li Bancheng's face suddenly turned pale, and it was strange that the price of food in this world is rising day by day, and he is wondering, the price of food at this time should fall! It turns out that this is the case.

"Elder Li, can I trust you?" The obedient official stared at him tightly, Li Yichang was a person, he was already gambling on his surname, in his opinion, although this matter is risky, but the greater the risk, the greater the benefit, if it succeeds, then he can be called Uncle Guo's henchman, and he said at the moment: "Bao'er said that if he gives birth to a boy in the future, I implore Uncle Guo to let the child be surnamed Li." So saying, he knelt down.

These words seem to be threatening the good officials, but in fact, this is selling well, which means that my Li family will be your uncle in the future.

The obedient official hugged Li Yichang's shoulders and didn't let him kneel, so he said sincerely: "Uncle Shi, don't worry, Bao'er's first son is surnamed Li." The two of them, an old fox and a small fox, smiled at each other.

With this guarantee, the obedient official immediately said to Li Yichang: "The Suzhou silk merchants and weavers will be handed over to Uncle Shi." "Suzhou has always been the vanguard of tax resistance, weavers make trouble is common, although he Zheng Guofan also gave the weavers kindness, but in the end it is shallow, if you really want to say prestige, you have to these big silk households, after all, these people are the weavers' rice class owners.

"Uncle Guo rest assured, Su Song's 100,000 weavers will never be chaotic." Li Yichang patted his chest and reassured, and then smiled and left.

Seeing his back disappear at the door, Dong Qichang sighed, "Fengzhang! Now you are fragrant, and you can even use women into the room as a bargaining chip, and you can't accept it! When, I, Dong Xiangguang, also have such treatment. ”

The good official smiled, "Big brother, it's really your turn, I'm afraid you won't be envious, it's better to be pure in the affairs between men and women!" By the way, eldest brother, I want to trouble you to go to Ningbo, many families in Ningbo have planted rice this year, there should be some surplus grain, eldest brother go to discuss with my teacher, and then find some people, go to sea to buy grain from the Ryukyu country, if it goes well, a round trip will only take ten days. ”
