"Woe? What can be the curse? Yang Chengzu didn't care at all, "But if someone comes to make trouble, I'll clean him up." ”

"It's not that someone is causing trouble, but something is really coming to the door." Ruxian carefully closed the door, sat down next to Yang Chengzu and said, "I opened this teahouse, half of it is to find a livelihood, and the other half is also to ask for news for you and be a sight and ear." A few fresh faces came to drink tea, and I paid special attention to it, but they actually said some big rebellious words in their mouths. Listening to what they mean, they don't know it themselves, but many people are spreading it. I listened to this, but it was very similar to the scene when the white-clothed army was in turmoil, and the text was transmitted to Beizhili. It doesn't matter to us what kind of mess is caused elsewhere, but if this mess reaches Huaxian County, brother, you will have to be conscripted and killed again at that time, isn't this a disaster? Besides, how do I hear them say that there is a trouble? ”

She is a good hand at ushering in and sending off, and she can always make each other satisfied regardless of their identity. Huaxian County guards the wharf, and there are many guests from the waterway, and the origin of this kind of passerby is complicated, but no matter what way it comes, Ruxian can also deal with it. At first glance, these guests were the merchants who followed the boat to the dock, Ruxian didn't care about it, but since she was the boss's wife, she had to greet her.

But when she heard the other party mention the Son of Heaven in his words, she paid attention, and then listened to the other party say that the blood of the Son of Heaven is not true, and he is not a descendant of the first emperor, but the Empress Dowager Zhang took a child from the people to take the throne, and she is not qualified to sit in this world. No matter how relaxed public opinion is, Da Ming will kill her head with such words, she listened to a few words, and the more she listened, the more she didn't know how to do it, so she came over to send news to Yang Chengzu.

"Those are just passing merchants, not like some kind of bad guys. What he said was just to show that he was well-informed and knew a lot of things, not to incite something. But the more this is the case, the more terrible it is, this kind of news has reached this level, which shows that there are many people who believe in this statement, and they always feel that something is going to happen. ”

When the white-clothed army rebelled, some people said that the bloodline of Zhengde was the problem, which was also the usual way of rebellion in this era, negating the emperor's bloodline and increasing the legitimacy of his rebellion. Yang Chengzu asked, "What accent do those people speak?" ”

"Huguang's over there. Many of our merchants here from Huguang are doing business with boats. Do you want me to call people and arrest them all? ”

"Taking people in our teahouse, no matter what, will affect the business, wait until I go over and talk to them." Yang Chengzu went outside, followed the guidance of Ruxian to sit at the adjacent table of the Huguang guests, and listened to the chatting of a few people. These guests looked like rich lords dressed in clothes, and they looked like fairy smoke and flattering, and it seemed that it was easy to get started, and some of them had some thoughts.

Seeing Ruxian come out, the guest sitting in the chief came to the spirit again, first asked for a pot of tea, and then said: "This lady, I am going to do business in Huaxian County this time, and I still have your help in this matter." I'm not a local, I don't know what location is good, and I know only a limited number of people. You just need to help me get this done, and I will be indispensable for your benefit. My business this time is profitable, and I have money, so it will not be difficult to fight for you when the time comes. ”

Ruxian smiled and said: "This guest master is polite, you come to the teahouse of Xiaonu, you are my God of Wealth, shouldn't you help you?" It's just that you are so good in Huguang, how did you think of coming to this small place in Huaxian to do business? I don't know what kind of business you're doing. ”

"My business is very good, food. A lot of food. ”

Ruxian sat directly beside him and chuckled: "If you don't tell the truth, our business can't be discussed." The grain business can be done in the hometown, why go to Henan, pay this person to eat horses and feed, and run water artificially? If you can't trust me, I'll go, and you can ask whoever you like for help. ”

The merchant hurriedly pulled the sleeve of the fairy, and when he saw that she did not resist, he felt even more embarrassed, so he had the courage to say, "The little lady doesn't know anything." I can't sell this grain in Huguang at a price, but I can only get rich when I get it in Henan. Don't you know, this year, Huguang and Shaanxi are both in a famine, and everyone is having a hard time. Then I heard that there was going to be a war. Now they can't stay, they have to flee the famine, and some people say that Henan can be saved. I estimate that it won't be long before the eight provinces of Henan will be lively, and then this food will be ...... It can be worth the price of gold. Look, I told you such important news, how can you thank me? ”

As he spoke, he went to catch Ruxian's hand, but he didn't want to be like an immortal but slid away very skillfully. smiled and scolded: "Don't make me happy, this Henan Bafu is not a rich place, why do the people run here?" Besides, isn't it a famine, where do you get your food? I don't think you're a good person, so you don't tell the truth. Forget it, ignore you, I'll call business and go. ”

Her light anger almost made the merchant's soul fly, and she hurriedly said, "Don't go." Little lady, listen to me, what I say is true. This is the fairy master to guide the way, saying that only when you go to Henan can you live, and everyone will come here, that's right. Several of us are grain merchants, and we must have grain in our hands when we are. If it weren't for us, how would Huguang be in trouble. Don't ask about this, little lady, can't I sell your food cheaper? I also have a friend here, and I have thousands of catties of new tea in my hand, and you can use it. ”

Ruxian relied on a few words and a few smiling faces, and listened to the news that Yang Chengzu wanted to inquire about, and then found an excuse to get rid of a few businessmen and go to greet others. Yang Chengzu listened for a while, and knew that these guests should not have any city mansions, but they were just fascinated by the appearance of immortals, so they talked a little more.

He glanced at Ruxian, got up and walked out of the teahouse, and went directly to Weili. I was thinking about finding a few old people to come over and talk about this trend, but I didn't want Song Liansheng to rush up and say: "Big nephew, we received news in the countryside, and we seem to have seen a lot of homeless people from Huaxian County." Listening to the accent, most of them are from neighboring provinces, isn't the Yellow River flooding again? ”

In the Ming Dynasty, the first class and one money was spent on river work, and the silver invested in river work every year was a sky-high price, but it was not possible to invest it. Speaking of the Ming Dynasty, they are all blessed by the Dragon King, and the anger and resentment of the Dayuan River Workers were carried out by the Great Yuan, and the stone people glanced at it, so that there is the current society of the Ming Dynasty. Later generations never dared to despise water conservancy, and no matter how tight the finances were, the silver used to control the river was never short of more than half a penny.

However, at this time, the flood of the Yellow River is no longer solved simply by having money and being willing to spend money. Now that it's the aquatic season again, so many refugees have come, making Song Liansheng sensitively aware of whether the Yellow River is flooding again, causing the victims to flee?

You must know that every time this time, it is the most tense moment for Jinyiwei, a large group of hungry people who have nothing to eat get together, and it is easy to cause public security problems. It is more likely that someone will raise his arms and shout, and he will attack the state and seize the county. After Yang Chengzu heard the news, he hurriedly asked, "What is the price of grain outside now?" ”

"Grain? Why do you ask about this? This time it was Song Liansheng's turn to be stunned

"Are you worried that the price of food will increase when the victims come? You're too worried about this, they have to have money to buy food. I think they all fled here, they have no money in their hands, and they can't afford to buy grain if they want to, so it shouldn't be that the price of grain will rise. I heard that several large households in the county have begun to prepare for relief to the victims, so we just need to prevent someone from making trouble. I have already sent people down, first to find out their tone, if someone instigates the people to revolt or something, we will directly take the people, and then we will not mobilize the military guards. The matter of this grain is in the hands of the yamen, so let's not worry about it. ”

This is a major drawback of the current Ming Dynasty civil and military yamen, everyone only cares about themselves, regardless of the life or death of other yamen. The left and right are their own errands that can be explained, and other people love to die or not, and they have nothing to do with themselves. Yang Chengzu smiled, but he ordered someone to prepare a short brown suit for himself, changed a headscarf on his head, and smeared some soil on his face, neck, and hands, and suddenly became a coolie who worked hard.

Song Liansheng said: "Eldest nephew, it's not your turn to find out the news, it's enough for someone else to take action." Why should you go there and suffer this sin yourself? ”

"Thank you Uncle Song for taking care of you, leave this matter to someone else, after all, it's better to go by yourself and rest assured. Go on your own and everything will be clear. Those refugees don't know me, and I'm sure of it, and even if they do, at most they won't say anything in broad daylight and don't dare to do anything to me. ”
