The three of them sat down and learned in detail, and made a list of former prime minister-level figures or extremely prestigious people in the court, Huang Shi saw that there were Li Shi, Xia Yan, Gu Dingchen, Li Chunfang, Yan Ne, Guo Pu, Yuan Wei, Wang Shouren, Zhang Xuan, Gui Cao, Xi Shu, Yang Yiqing, Wang Qiong, Li Chengxun, Hu Zongxian, Shen Lian, Yang Jisheng, Shen Liangcai, Zou Yinglong, Yu Dayou, Lu Bo, Xu Jie, and Gao Gong.

Judging from the introduction of Huangshi, some people know a little, some people have not heard of it, some people have disappeared, and there are people who heard him talk about the Qingci prime ministers of the Zhengde and Jiaqing dynasties, Li Chunfang, Yan Ne, Guo Pu, and Yuan Wei, who have a pitiful impression, only Li Chunfang has seen his face in the occasional few historical travel novels, and the other three people don't know him, and what the Qingci prime minister said in his memory should be Xia Yan and Yan Song.

However, these high-level officials of the Ming Dynasty are too far away from Huangshi, and Mu Dexian mentioned Zhengde's son Emperor Jiaqing, named Zhu Zaixi, Mu Dexian naturally did not dare to call him by name, this Zhu Zaixi turned out to be the third son of Zhengde, born by the queen of Zhengde, and Zhengde's favored Concubine Liu Liang gave birth to an emperor's eldest son before, so the Zhengde Dynasty also engaged in a national capital dispute when the prince was established in the later period, but it was just a problem of becoming a prince or a long, Zhengde was relatively stubborn, and took away several high-ranking officials and ministers. But in the end, he still couldn't screw the civil and military forces of the almost Manchu Dynasty, and was forced to set up Zhu Saburo as the crown prince.

In this way, the battle for more than ten years of national capital finally came to an end, but as the crown prince that Emperor Zhengde did not like, Zhu Zaixi's position can be said to be precarious, and after more than ten years of hard work, he finally got the coveted emperor's throne. However, due to the fierce struggle over the national capital, it is said that the party bureau of the ministers and bureaucrats of the DPRK and China has been established, the material resources of the grasslands have been exhausted, the laws and regulations of the state have been broken, and the border has been rushed.

After more than ten years of forbearance, his temper rebounded suddenly after Zhu Zaixi succeeded to the throne. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty, which was already full of contradictions and deep evils, added fuel to the fire, and the Mongolian leader Altan attacked again and again, and the flames of rebellion of the rebels of the displaced people were burning more and more, so he desperately increased taxes, increased heavy troops to prevent Altan Khan in the north and suppressed the rebellious party and exiles in the country.

"Ugh." Hearing this, Huang Shizhi sighed, "This is simply a copy of Zhu Youzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty!" "I want to think that I want to replace the big pirate Wang Zhi to become Zheng Zhilong to monopolize the China Sea, and then become Li Zicheng to shake the ruling foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and then upgrade to Zhu Baba from the south to the north to sweep Kyushu, and the last is to learn Zhu Sisi to sweep the desert and seal the wolf Juxu, as for the unification of the whole world, with the manpower and material resources of the entire Ming Dynasty, what are you afraid of.

"Okay, have you already bought those yards?"

"Master, the seven courtyards and restaurants have been bought, some of the courtyards have long been uninhabited and dilapidated, and the disciple has already asked the cowardly Ah Zhou, who came with him, to find someone to renovate and clean them, and they will be ready to move in in a few days." The curtain is leisurely and replied.

Huang Shi nodded, "Then you can arrange for our people to be transferred from Zhangcheng to Fuzhou now." ”

"The disciple obeys."

"By the way, listening to you say this, this world is still relatively chaotic, and there are more children among our people, you have to recruit more people to accompany you in Zhangcheng, and if you have a car, hire more cars, don't save so much money, and after you go back this time, go to the market shop like Majiapu to see, there are no suitable children to buy, regardless of whether men and women are sick or weak."

After Huang Shi finished speaking, he took a sip of tea, remembered something again, and then raised his head and continued, "By the way, you have to be free, before you come, you can also send people to the street or small temples to see if there are any street children, and you can also take them together, or you can send people to the village chiefs in the countryside to ask if there are any people who want to sell their children to spend the famine year, and we will strive to take the initiative." ”

"Master, the disciples don't understand why as long as these little guys, these children can't pick their shoulders, can't lift their hands, and can't read, it's better to recruit some innocent white children or unambitious students, it's not easier to just be natural." The curtain felt compelled to make his own proposal to Yellowstone.

"Come, you two also take a look", Huang Shi took an empty cup, next to which was a cup that he had drunk half of the remaining tea, and pointed to the two of them and said to Zhou Mingrui, "You say, which of these two cups holds more water?" ”

Mu Dexian pointed to the empty cup and said, "Master, naturally this empty cup is too much." ”

"Yes, you see that even you know this point, those students and Mengtong's heads are full of subtle words and poems, and how many things can we naturally do."

The curtain was choked speechless, and he faintly felt that the master seemed to have some less respect for Confucianism.

……

After vaguely expressing his contempt for the corrupt Confucians, Huang Shi turned to Zhou Mingrui and asked, "Mingrui, how are things going on in the four seas?" ”

"Master, Su Minyou and Mrs. Chen have signed the contract you drafted." Zhou Mingrui continued, "Those small shareholders, the small ones and Su Minyou all returned their silver according to the original silver shares, and they all seemed to take advantage of them happily. After speaking, Zhou Mingrui shook his head.

"Oh, that's it, isn't there a person who is willing to be in the same boat through thick and thin?" Huang Shi frowned and asked, because if there was not even a person to send charcoal in the snow after the four seas traveled to the extreme, in addition to explaining the reality of this merchant in the Ming Dynasty, it also showed that Su Minyou and Chen Youxin knew each other from another aspect.

"Master, there is an accident in the four seas, there are many people who fall into the well, but there are still people who are willing to be in the same boat through thick and thin, there were so many small shareholders before, not only did not come to ask for debts, but there were also those who sent charcoal in the snow, but it is a pity that they themselves are small, and they can only be a drop in the bucket in this matter."

"Ah, that's pretty good." Huang Shi was also a little moved, "Mingrui, then these people, you and Lao Su can make a special record, and if there is any good business in the future, it can be prioritized." ”

Zhou Mingrui replied, "Master, these small ones and Lao Su have also withdrawn their shares, but the small ones and Lao Su have also given an extra percent of silver compensation, and now the old man also has this meaning, so the little ones will be more appropriate in their hearts." ”

"Then have you liquidated the assets of Sihaixing?"

"Master, the small one makes people count it, in fact, this four seas is almost an empty shell, there are only three warehouses, four storefronts, and there are more than 20 shopkeepers in the store, but the original goods in the store have been cleared."

Zhou Mingrui then said, "In addition, there was originally a sea ship in Sihaixing, and the two helmsmen on the ship were usually in charge of steering, and six of them were responsible for operating the sails every day, and there were two anchors, mainly responsible for the upper bucket, looking and observing the sea, and then there were eight escorts, all of whom were actually servants of the Chen family, in addition to being responsible for the safety of the ship at sea, they were also responsible for the miscellaneous chores on board. ”

"And now what about the ships and men?" Yellowstone cares about this.

"The sea boat was held in the hands of the mixed river dragon, and even Chen Youxin was grabbed by him, waiting for the money to redeem it, but Xiao and Lao Su estimated that the boat would not come back."

"Oh, how much does that mixed river dragon offer, why will this boat come back." Huangshi is a little strange, it stands to reason that since the money has been paid, the ship and people should be put away.

Zhou Mingrui said a little secretly, "Master, I heard Lao Su say that the reason why they had an accident in the four seas this time is that it is estimated that there are other maritime merchants behind the trouble, and the mixed Longjiang is actually the Jiang patrol inspection of Fuqing Yi, and they usually have money in the four seas, but this time the sea ship passed through the Fuqing Ocean, and the Jiang patrol inspected the ship under the pretext of getting on the boat, and also detained Chen Youxin, and asked his subordinates to hurt all the guys in the four seas, and then let them tell Su Minyou that they were willing to give five thousand taels of silver before they were willing to release people." ”

"Oh, that's right, this is simply a family of officials and bandits." Huang Shi felt that this Jiang inspection was really dark, not only for money, but also for boats, and then for people to go out of business.

"Then as long as Chen Youxin has nothing to do, how about Su Min raising their money? Is it enough? Huang Shi casually cared.

But seeing that Zhou Mingrui suddenly looked up and stopped talking, Huang Shi asked, "What's wrong, Mingrui, just say something, I won't blame you or anything." ”

"Sir." Zhou Mingrui gave Huang Shi a deep salute, and then said embarrassedly, "That Zhu Er nerd has caused trouble for you, the little one has already locked him in the firewood room, and let Qiu Da beat his ass." ”

"What's the trouble? It's going to be so serious! Huang Shi was also a little curious.

"That Zhu Er nerd didn't shut up at the banquet invited by Lao Su, and told that the old man was a god in the sky, but fortunately, there was only Lao Su in the Chen family at the wine table that day."

"Oh, this matter, I'm afraid that he won't believe it if he says Lao Su, it's okay." Huang Shi didn't care, this kind of thing was said, most people might think it was a liar or bragging, after all, he didn't see it with his own eyes, plus Su Min had experienced so many years of ups and downs, he wouldn't believe it lightly, but obviously Huang Shi underestimated the complexity of this matter.

Hearing a plop, Huang Shi and Mu Dexian saw Zhou Mingrui leave the stool, stood opposite Huang Shi and knelt down at once, with a cry, "Master, that old Su didn't believe it at first, but Xiao Xiao and a few other people also drank more wine that day, and the result was ...... They all pointed to the heavens and the earth, and told the old man everything about the heavens and the earth, and the things in his sleeves. ”
