"Old man, how long have you been baking sweet potatoes here?"

"It's been a long time, I can't remember."

"Then do you know what's going on in this house?"

"I know how much a sweet potato is, but I don't know anything else."

"Old man, don't be unhappy!"

The men clenched their fists and were about to hit the old man who baked white potatoes. A person suddenly came from behind, grabbed his arm, glared and said, "Go aside, be polite to the old man." ”

When the attendant saw that the master was powerful, his arrogance was gone, and he nodded and hid behind him.

The middle-aged man in his early forties smiled and said to the old man who baked white potatoes: "Old man, let me inquire with you about something, I heard that Grandpa Guo was seriously injured, do you know?" ”

The old man lowered his head and said nothing, and the middle-aged man looked at it for a long time before he suddenly came to his senses and took out two small coins from his arms.

"Hahaha, it's good to bake white potatoes, wrap me a few more pieces."

The old man glanced at the copper coin, and then sighed: "Alas, good people are not rewarded, like me, there are no eight hundred deaths, but ...... Ay! ”

"Sir, you're not spying on the military, are you?"

"Look at what you said, I am a businessman, I came to do business, and I heard that Ji Guogong's health is not good, and we are also worried.

"Hey, listen to your accent, it's like it's from the south. The old man will tell you, during the Chinese New Year, Grandpa Guo was critically ill several times, and it is said that a miracle doctor surnamed Wu came out with a prescription and pulled Grandpa Guo back from the ghost gate. But these days, I haven't heard of how many guests have come. Not a single one! ”

"Oh? Is there really no one to see? ”

"Dare to be affectionate, can I still talk nonsense, those generals who kowtow to Grandpa Guo can't see his old man!"

The middle-aged man heard this. With a frown, he took out a few more pieces of broken silver from his bosom, threw them in the old man's hand, and turned to leave.

"Sir, your sweet potato!"

The other party didn't look back at all, and walked directly with great strides. The old man looked at their backs and padded the roasted sweet potato in his hand. His face was full of disdain: With this little ability, you still want to fight with Grandpa Guo, you are too far behind!

The one who is the master and the servant is Yue Qijie. The imperial court personally sent the Qincha.

"Gui'er, do you think this Gu Zhenhua is really injured like this, or is it fake?"

Yue Gui couldn't help but shook his head: "Master, if you want to say it's not true." But I asked a lot of people. They all said that Gu Zhenhua was injured. If it is true, then why Henan is so calm and orderly, it is really unreasonable. ”

"It's up to you to say whether it's true or not, but I'll come up with an idea!"

"The little one, the little one really doesn't know!"

"Humph!" Yue Qijie flicked his sleeves fiercely and hurriedly returned to the pavilion.

It's no wonder that Yue Qijie is worried, and he has been in Kaifeng for many days. But except for a glance from a distance on the first day, he never saw Gu Zhenhua again.

The owner can't be found. The people in Quan Kaifeng were not angry with him, and they all said that Ji Guogong's injury became like this, not only physically, but also psychologically. You officials, slander behind your back, the former enemy is bleeding, and you have to be scolded behind your back, who can stand it!

Yue Qijie's situation was extremely embarrassing, and as a result, Ma Shiying from Nanjing kept sending him news, asking him to see Gu Zhenhua.

There is a reason why Lao Ma is so anxious, in addition to Zhang Jinyan making trouble for him, Yuan Zongdi led the men and horses to return to Germany, and the follow-up Tian Jianxiu also went to Jiangnan with the people.

The two armies combined, more than 10,000 people, all went to Jiangnan to eat, food is still a trivial matter, if these people take the opportunity to make trouble, don't play They are thieves, even the imperial tomb in Fengyang has been burned, what else do they dare not do!

Lao Ma even suspected that Gu Zhenhua wanted to use these thieves, so he went directly to the capital to play a Qingjun side, killed him, and then put the blame on the rogues.

Ma Shiying and the others were shocked three times a day, forcing Yue Qijie to be white-headed. But it was useless to say anything, they couldn't see Gu Zhenhua at all. The people below also pushed it all away, and it was right to recruit the thieves, but at that time, Gu Zhenhua was not injured before the decision. Now these thieves have all fought Tartars and made great contributions, but they have not been officially incorporated into An**. Henan does not have enough food supply, so we can't let them return to Li Zicheng's hands, let alone watch them surrender to the Manchus.

The only way out is to go to Jiangnan, only what will be the consequences, then it depends on the will of God!

The more Qijie thought about it, the more he held his breath, the more he thought about it, the more he had no way out, and his facial features shrank together.

"Good news, good news, great news!" Yue Gui ran in front of Yue Qijie in three steps and two steps.

Yue Qijie had a gloomy face: "The old man is worried, where does the joy come from?" ”

"Master, the villain just heard that Li Zicheng sent 100,000 troops into Henan to eat. I guess there will definitely be a conflict between Ann ** and the thief before. Think about it, an army of 100,000, no matter what, Gu Zhenhua should always show up, I don't believe it, he can still hide! ”

When Yue Qijie heard this, his eyes also lit up, but after thinking about it for a while, he frowned again: "Gui'er, if Gu Zhenhua is really seriously injured, I'm just afraid of ......"

"Hahaha, sir, how confused are you, what's so scary. Even if Gu Zhenhua really can't move, An ** has lost a big battle, when the time comes, let's see what they are still angry about, and dare to rely on their own merits and do whatever they want! ”

Yue Qijie finally smiled: "You ghost guy's brain is not slow, go and inquire about the master." ”

On the twenty-fifth day of the first month, according to the habits of the Chinese people, before the New Year was over, Li Zicheng sent 100,000 troops, led by Liu Zongmin himself, out of Tongguan and into the border of Henan, and for a time the atmosphere in the Central Plains became tense again.

However, Nanjing was not so simple as being nervous at this time, and it was finally time to close the net after a thrilling operation.

Zhang Jinyan, the second assistant of the cabinet, personally commanded, and Dai Ying, the factory official, mobilized the forces of the Jinyiwei of the East Factory and cooperated with all his might. can make these two so important. This case can be described as earth-shattering!

Zhang Jinyan picked up the teacup, but his hands trembled uncontrollably, and he held it for a long time. But I didn't drink a drop of water, and when I looked into the teacup, it turned out that the water was long gone.

"Hey! Let Dai Gonggong smile. ”

Dai Ying smiled bitterly: "Master Zhang, to be honest, our family's heart is also fluttering. It's not the same as dealing with one or two officials. ”

"That's right!" Zhang Jinyan nodded, and said with a wry smile: "Scholars are all pretentious, as if they have dirty mouths when they mention money. But things in the world. You can't do without money. Do the math, just ten years of hard work and buy books. Worshipping famous teachers and participating in the imperial examination, which one is not amazingly expensive. Officials, businessmen, officials and businessmen have long colluded together. Businessmen relied on financial resources to run schools everywhere. subsidized scholars, and as a result, these scholars won the imperial examination, and then escorted these businessmen and said good things for them, which is the bane of the Ming Dynasty's greed for ink! ”

Dai Ying said with a smile: "Master Zhang said it so well, money leads to the divine road, if our family had a little money, how could we sell our sons and daughters." It's all a bitter tear! I don't know if this world can be changed? ”

Zhang Jinyan said with a smile: "Father-in-law Dai, speaking of which, Jiguo has already done a lot in Henan. The government has set up schools to hold the power of teaching and educating people. Then expand the examination and recruitment, the integration of officials, layer by layer selection, layer by layer assessment. In this way, if you subsidize the readers, it is difficult to guarantee that you will be successful, and naturally the spell will be broken. ”

Dai Ying was very emotional, and said with a smile: "Ji Guogong is really a talent for saving the world, and he is far-sighted, if it weren't for this, our family would not recognize Ji Guogong." If you want to save the Ming Dynasty, you have to be the Duke of Ji Guo, we are nothing more than charging for the Duke of Ji! Lord Zhang, our family has sent someone to cordon off the area around the dock to ensure that it is impervious to wind and rain. ”

Zhang Jinyan nodded: "Father-in-law Dai, you are very relieved to do things, so let us join forces together to pull out the big rats of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

After Zhang Jinyan finished speaking, he gave his hand and said goodbye, and he had to go to the cabinet to keep an eye on it to prevent Ma Shiying and their dogs from jumping off the wall in a hurry.

"Hey, hey, hey, you want food, one by one pretending to be old cat meat, I don't want to admit it, this time the official will let you rats live!"

On the other hand, Wu Kaijie's negotiations with several businessmen also reached the last moment.

After consulting with Zhang Jinyan and Dai Ying, they formulated a plan to lure the snake out of the hole. Obviously, there are people who are greedy for a lot of grain, but the grain is not the same as other things, these people must sell it, as long as they can start from the sale, they can find out the big people behind it.

Wu Kaijie disguised himself as a northern businessman, wearing a mink robe, an otter hat, and silver needles more than an inch long, not to mention keeping warm. Under the escort of several bodyguards, he came to Wangjianglou Restaurant and came directly to the Tianzi No. 1 seat.

In the seat, there were thirty or forty wealthy businessmen, all of them white and fat, and they were quite well maintained. In the private room, there was a stove, and after Wu Kaijie walked in, he threw his fur hat aside.

"People say that Jiangnan is picturesque all year round, it is a paradise on earth, but how is it wet and cold this winter, the cold wind drills into the neck, and if you don't wear a leather hat, you can't stand it at all!"

Gan Peiyu, a big grain merchant, said with a smile: "Brother Wu, if you have money, you are afraid that you will not be able to do it, haven't you seen the carriage of the younger brother?" I heard that it is made by the Yi people, with four wheels, spacious and comfortable, and two braziers are placed in the front and back, just like in summer. ”

Wu Kaijie also smiled heartily: "That's what I said, when it comes to enjoyment, we can't catch up with you even if we shoot horses!" ”

"Hahaha, Brother Wu, as long as this business is negotiated, I will give the carriage to Brother Wu in the future."

Wu Kaijie arched his hand: "Then thank you Brother Gan for your kindness." I said, everyone, the top priority is to talk about food first, 100,000 quintals of grain, can you get it? ”

Gan Peiyu smiled slightly: "Don't say 100,000 quintals, even if it's 1 million quintals, we are sure." It's just Brother Wu, I want to know what you mean over there? ”

"What do you mean?" Wu Kaijie asked vigilantly.

Wang Chunhe, who was on the right hand, said with a smile: "Brother Wu, don't pretend, we have all seen the things you sell, to tell you the truth, are you working for the north?" ”

When Wu Kaijie heard this, he suddenly stood up, and his hand reached into his arms.

"Do you want to sue me?"

"Neither nor not!" Gan Peiyu hurriedly pressed Wu Kaijie's hand, and said with a smile: "Boss Wu, our brothers have long wanted to open up the relationship in the north, let's communicate with each other, isn't it good to have a lot of money, why do you want to see the outside world like this?" ”

Wu Kaijie reluctantly sat down: "Are you telling the truth?" ”

"Hahaha, Brother Wu, to put it mildly, even if it is a change of dynasty, as long as you still eat and drink spicy food, it doesn't matter who is the emperor! It will be difficult to have grain, silk, porcelain. There are ginseng, furs, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in the north, as long as there is no exchange, it won't be long before we can make a lot of money! ”

When Wu Kaijie heard this, his eyes deliberately lit up, and he said with a smile: "A few brothers, as long as 100,000 people are sent to sea this time, they can talk about anything in the future!" But you have to make sure that the grain is of good quality, and if there is a grain of mold, I won't agree! ”

"Hahaha, Brother Wu, don't worry, it's not a secret, these grains were originally meant to be supplied to the Ming army, but we feel that maybe some people are more qualified to eat."

Wu Kaijie laughed loudly: "Don't worry, what bullshit Shinong businessmen, what the master values is the ability to do things, I guarantee that you have a great future and a prosperous future." ”

Gan Peiyu and Wang Chun had smug smiles on their faces, originally they helped the Jin merchants sell stolen goods in Jiangnan and make huge profits. As a result, Gu Zhenhua made a fuss, they suffered heavy losses, and the line was broken. This time I finally saw the life-saving straw, where would I let it go.

Gan Peiyu said with a smile: "Brother Wu will let Cuizhi and Miss Xiangxiu accompany you first, and we will arrange for the ship to ship immediately!" ”

These big grain merchants really have hands and eyes to the sky, and their magical powers are vast, and while they are talking, there are already ships docked on the wharf, and workers are carrying bags of rice and sending them to the ship.

Just when they were busy with their work, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps on the shore, and countless soldiers, Jinyi guards, and fans of Dongchang poured out together.

When the gang of porters saw this battle, they trembled with fright, some of them ran away, and one of the stewards simply jumped into the river, trying to escape for their lives.

But as soon as he jumped into the river, two men suddenly sprang out of a boat not far away, and they rushed over like two big fish, and pulled the guy up.

At the same time, more than a dozen warships appeared in Jiangshan, and it was Shen Tingyang who led the team, blocking the waterway impermeable.

At this time, Dai Ying was surrounded by Fanzi and came next to the sea boat. Two brocade guards came running with a bag of rice.

"Ancestor, please see, there are still marks on this rice bag!"

Dai Ying leaned over and looked at it, and suddenly sneered: "Okay, Daming's military rations are going to be sold to Tartars." You people also look at it, what is called madness, our East Factory is still too far away. Listen to our family, and don't let anyone involved in the case go! (To be continued......)
