Chapter Eighty-Eight: A Vision
Of course, Yang Tinghe's second son Yang Dian was still dismissed, Yang Tinghe was recalled from the way back to his hometown, to prison and then experienced great changes, and was released from prison after the last time, and now he has returned to his hometown again. It's just that this will be released from prison, and it will inevitably be much older, the eldest son Yang Shen is assigned to Yong'an in southern Yunnan, the second son Yang Dian was dismissed, the son-in-law was implicated, and the righteous son was beaten to death, which has to be called a catastrophe in life.
It's not a dog to be in charge for three years, but once you lose it, you know the preciousness of the existence of the road. The courtiers who originally hated Yang Tinghe felt the role and merit of this slightly stingy, domineering, and stubborn old man during the time Yang Tinghe left, and they all hoped to jointly retain him, but Yang Tinghe refused, because he understood that this was no longer his era, and Yang Tinghe insisted on leaving the ministers to say goodbye with tears.
For Yang Yan, Zhu Houxi did not spare him, I believe that Yang Yan was also prepared before going to Shu, because this practice destroyed Zhu Houxi's most revenge opportunity, and also gave the emperor a resounding "slap in the face". This is equivalent to turning over the old scars of the battle for the emperor's name and the humiliation when he first entered the court, and it is equivalent to telling everyone: "If it weren't for Yang Tinghe, would you be the emperor?!" Therefore, there is no doubt that Yang Yan "smoothly" entered the prison.
Yang Yan has no regrets and sorrows, he may not be a loyal minister or a capable minister, but he is an upright person, a person who dares to speak the truth, worthy of admiration.
Lu Bing didn't want to hear anything about the future, he and Qi Jingtong sat opposite each other, but they were silent, Lu Bing is very conflicted now, is Qi Jingtong right. Yes, Lu Bing did keep his back hand, and there were other eyeliners in Beijing. Even the group of private soldiers who were disbanded by the emperor did not completely disperse. If you want to listen to the news, Lu Bing can still learn about the affairs of the four seas as usual, take precautions, and if someone wants to harm him, he can plan as soon as possible.
For the eyeliner sent by the saint, Lu Bing either rebelled, or created an illusion to confuse them, and Jinyiwei was established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty. So far, there is a clear line between bright and dark lines, and the population in the staff ranges from 8,000 to 40,000, but there are more than 10,000 spies who are not in the staff. It's just that Lu Bing handed over to Wang Zuo is far less than one-tenth. And the essence of it was all taken away with Jiang Bin's escape back then, and neither Zhu Houxi nor Wang Zuo mastered it.
Jiang Bin handed over most of them to Lu Bing, but a small number of people were retained, and as for the role of those few people, Lu Bing did not know the way. But it is definitely a "magic weapon" that can save your life and break the net. After Jiang Bin's "water". Lu Bing was also secretly annoyed because of Zhu Houxi's distrust and because of the eyeliner that Zhu Houxi had buried beside Lu Bing very early, so Lu Bing also kept his back hand, so another "water" passed, so the secret agent and fan in Wang Zuo's hands were just skins, and the essence of Jinyiwei had already existed in name only.
The number of Jinyi Wei secret agents here here is unimaginable, and the monthly payment from Lu Bing alone reaches 10,000 taels, all of which only Meng Xueqing knows in addition to Lu Bing. But since Lu Bing came to Dengzhou. Let most of the spies in the capital take a break, only pay salaries but do not arrange jobs. First, he was worried that Emperor Zhu Houyu would be unfavorable to his family after he found out, and secondly, he was really disgusted to hear about the things Zhu Houyu had done, as well as the faces of those villains in the capital. Only a small number of movements were filtered and passed into Meng Xueqing's ears, as for whether to tell Lu Bing or not, Meng Xueqing had to sift through it.
Now, the frenzied villain and Zhu Houxi, who has swelled to the limit, forced Lu Bing to restart all the spies, not for anything else but to protect himself, for fear that the gang of people he had offended would be in a catastrophe for which he would never recover.
Lu Bing's brows were tightly knit and thoughtful, his mind was full of the tragic scene of Yang Tinghe, the righteous son was killed, the second son was dismissed, he returned to his hometown, and his eldest son Yang Shen was also exiled. After thinking about this, I began to think about the former Zhu Houxi, and now the emperor, and the shameless appearance of being high and invincible. It's time for him to act, and Lu Bing simply arranges what he needs to do next.
At this time, Qi Jingtong spoke: "By the way, Wenfu, you are now unpaid, and you have donated a lot for the people, and you have built a fishing market or something, and the time consumed is not short, it is a year, it is said that your money should always be exhausted, but look at your government is still prosperous, how much did you kid be greedy back then, enough for you to toss like this." ”
"Brother Shixian, look at what you said, open source and reduce expenditure, I save a lot on weekdays, and besides, I don't make money." Lu Bing said with a smile.
"How to make money from the fishing grounds? How much money can you make? Qi Jingtong wondered.
Lu Bing smiled: "What do you know, technology is productivity, go, follow me to my territory to have a look." ”
"Crazy you, return your territory, the world is not the king's land, let others hear that they have to join you, walk." Qi Jingtong stood up at the same time as Lu Bing as he spoke, walked out, and when he walked past Xia Dade, he woke up Xia Dade, who was already asleep on the chair, Xia Dade had never cared about talking about political issues, and he had already snored like thunder.
The three of them went out of the yard, rode on a tall horse and headed towards the nearest fishing ground, galloped and whipped, Qi Jingtong couldn't help but shout happily: "Good horse, good horse, this horse is really a good horse in the world, there should be a hundred taels of silver." ”
"Why have you stayed in the capital for so long, and you haven't gained much knowledge, but you are the same as the soil buns in the countryside. This horse is still a hundred taels, this is a thousand-mile horse, running all night without stopping, a horse is three hundred taels, I said oops. Xia Dade suddenly had a mouth full of blood as he spoke, Qi Jingtong had been galloping on the battlefield for many years, and naturally knew what was going on, but he bit his tongue when the horse was bumpy, but Xia Dade was tall and big, and his blood was also strong, and his mouth was full of blood when he broke his tongue.
Lu Bingha said with a smile: "Second brother, how many times have I told you, don't talk when you run a horse, you always bite your tongue, you don't know the way, you are not disobedient." But Brother Shixian, what my second brother said is right, these three horses are not the fastest in my house, but the speed you have also seen, I don't know how much happier than ordinary horses, the most valuable thing is that although these horses are extremely fast, they also have the extraordinary endurance of the Yunnan horse, even if they go over the mountains and mountains, they can maintain the same speed all night long. Therefore, three hundred taels is really not expensive. ”
"That's really strange, did you try it yourself, or did you listen to the horse dealer?" Qi Jingtong asked.
"Naturally, I did it. My fishing ground in Xishawan is fifty or sixty miles from the fishing ground of Xiaosoap, I have something to do back and forth in those days, and I ran back and forth without much rest, and then I went to Wendeng again, and only when I came back did I let the horse eat and rest. I'm not sure if I'll be able to run all night, but there's no doubt about the horse's stamina and speed. Lu Bing said affirmatively.
"What a good horse. Looking at the bright coat and tall figure, the speed is not slow, with this speed. That's great. Qi Jingtong said excitedly, martial artists, or real men, like a few things, beautiful women. BMW and good blades. Qi Jingtong is naturally no exception.
Lu Bing pointed to the horse that Qi Jingtong was riding and said: "This kind of horse is suitable for being a war horse, I tried this horse is not afraid of drumbeats, nor is it afraid of poisonous snakes, it should be not small, it will not be frightened and bad, if you like this horse, I will give it to you." ”
"How can this make the gentleman useless, I can't help such a valuable thing." Qi Jingtong hurriedly excused himself. But there was already a green glow in his eyes.
Xia Dade just wanted to speak, but bit his tongue again. Suddenly he whined in pain, and tears hurt out, which made Lu Bing and Qi Jingtong laugh, Lu Bing said: "You and my brother's lifelong friendship, do you still care about these three hundred and one horses?" ”
"Then I'll take it, and I won't thank you." Qi Jingtong smiled with satisfaction.
Lu Bing said again: "Speaking of this, I still have something to entrust, when you return to Beijing, leave a few days in advance, help me send something back, there are not many things but there will be a delay for some time, so you have to go on the road in advance." When the time comes, I will give you the gifts and lists, and when you return to Beijing, you can help me distribute them according to what is written on the gift list, and I will also attach a letter to the special person, and Brother Shixian must help me personally deliver it to them. ”
"Ha Lu Ha Qi Jingtong said with a smile: "But the way to be an official is that there are so many helplessness, but I don't understand, if you are still doing this in the officialdom, I can understand, now you are just a barren mountain and a wild old man, why should people who are idle clouds and wild cranes give gifts again?" ”
Lu Bing smiled miserably: "I don't ask for anything else, and I don't want them to help anything, but I hope that for the sake of taking my things, don't stab me in the back." I'm just trying to live, it's so hard to live, it's really sad, it seems that that sentence is right. ”
"What?"
"Sooner or later, you will have to pay it back."
—————————————————————————————————————
Lu Bing and the three of them rode fast horses, and it didn't take long to come to the nearest market, Lu Bing said: "Go to the fishing ground first to see or look at the market, the market belongs to the place to make money, and the fishery is the place of production." ”
"The fishing ground is far away, and you can only understand it in the market when you see the source." Qi Jingtong said.
Lu Bing said with a smile: "You can also do business, look at this little talk one by one." Let's go to the fishing ground first, it's not too far, and you won't need it for half an hour. Then let's go to the fishing ground first, but watch your jaw don't be scared off. ”
"Look at your exaggeration."
The three of them laughed and slowly beat their horses and came to the fishing ground, where they were holding firecrackers and Lu Bing had asked the Shen family before, and now a large number of soldiers with firecrackers were standing guard. Qi Jingtong asked, "Why do you need to have soldiers in the fishing ground?" ”
"This is just to prevent outsiders from coming to make trouble, but also to prevent fishermen from quarrelling, just in case of violent institutions, the number is not large, not the regular army of the imperial court, but my private army, the number of people must be controlled, otherwise it is easy to fall into the hands of others. So if you really want to fight, what is the use of these soldiers? Lu Bing said: "Our fishing grounds are divided into areas and unified management to go to sea, because of the different waters, resulting in different fish groups, so we are in the fishing season, every five days a round, a total of six groups, everyone takes turns to fish in different waters, so no one can say unfair." As the saying goes, if you don't suffer from widowhood, you don't suffer from unevenness, as long as it's fair, even if it's a hard day, the people won't have an opinion. ”
Qi Jingtong nodded again and again, and Lu Bing took Qi Jingtong to a high tower, which was built with huge stones and leaned on the cliff, with the help of the steepness of the cliff, it looked extremely majestic. Lu Bing said to Qi Jing while climbing the stairs: "Building a tower in this way can save money, and the two are much higher than the cliff, as a long-term observation and lookout." On one side is the cliff and sea wall, and it can also protect against the wind, which is really wonderful. You can see all the fleets from here, they are wearing uniform vests, but the colors on the vests are different, and you can see them at a glance, so that you can convey orders to the people below and coordinate the command. If there is a mission to go to sea at night, a bonfire will be lit here to guide the ship and serve as a lighthouse. In normal times, if there is any danger, you can see it from here, and if the pirates invade, you can also detect it early, so such a tower must be built. ”
"It's just limited to construction skills, so I can only find a place with a high wall to build against the mountain, otherwise it is difficult to stand so high, and the wind resistance of the building structure will not be very good. I'm not an expert in architecture, and I didn't have a lot of education there, so I couldn't solve this problem, so I had to make it as rough as I could see it. If I can get rid of the dependence on the terrain, I am willing to build hundreds of towers on the Daming coast, and the coastal defense will definitely be able to take a big step. Lu Bing said ambitiously.
Qi Jingtong sighed: "It's really good, using this method to prevent pirates and robbers will definitely be of great use." But what did you just say over there? What are you going to say about crossing over, I don't think you're talking crazy now, you know too much at your age, go back and take the imperial examination, right? ”
"You sarcastically mock me again, I am a miscellaneous intellectual, if it is really a dance and ink, I have not read many books, and the ink in my stomach is mostly taught to me by Brother Cunnei and Yong Xiu." Lu Bing said, Qi Jingtong smiled: "It's not to ridicule you, what kind of person is Yang Shen, the champion and the first." You are the student he taught, the blue is better than the blue, the ice is out of the water and the cold is better than the water, and the apprentices are more powerful than the teacher. ”
"I think so." Xia Dade also took the opportunity to scratch Lu Bing, but he bit his tongue twice on the way, causing his speech to be a little unclear, and he had the taste of a big tongue: "The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the floating is the new person replacing the old person." You're wave enough, you're new enough, you're new enough. ”
Everyone laughed loudly, and Lu Bing leaned on the stone fence and said: "Brother Shixian, you see, after working together, the number of fishing nets has increased by three or four times, and if something happens to the teamwork, everyone can help each other." I made a buoy out of pig urine bubbles covered with cowhide, and I could lay a net according to it, which increased the area of fishing and doubled the amount of fish. And the further you go into the sea, the more species there are, and the number and size of fish and shrimp also increase exponentially. ”
"I grew up by the sea, relying on the mountains to eat and the sea to eat, why didn't everyone become fishermen? That's because the demand is limited, and it's okay to eat only for your own home, and most of them can also be sold to the people not far away, and it's not easy to sell if you have more, and it's bad if you put it for two days, and you have to dry it to keep it for some time. Qi Jing channel: "But if the weather is hot and the ventilation is not good, the dried fish is not safe, so who will buy it if you catch so many fish?" ”
First of all, I buy in batches, the price is slightly lower than the usual asking price, or it is the same as the selling price of those honest fishermen, but the number has increased, so the fishermen's income is more, and the fishermen don't have to worry about how much to fight or how much. This is what I do, after the acquisition, part of it is made into dried fish, salted with a large amount of salt, sterilized at high temperature and then sealed relatively closely, or directly exposed to the sun to make dried seafood. Of course, this is still small, our biggest business is the live fish business, this will be left in the market and then explained to you. Lu Bing said.
Qi Jingtong couldn't help but be curious, what other whimsical ideas does this kid Lu Bing have? (To be continued......)
