Nanking.
Zheng Cai returned to the city.
Zheng Zhilong first went to the Ministry of War, Zheng Cai got the approval of the General's Palace, which was approved by the cabinet, and finally played to the emperor, and after getting the permission of the emperor, he could bring the 20,000 city defense soldiers of the Naxi Battalion back to Fujian.
It will take at least half a month for this set of processes to come down.
During this time in Nanjing City, Zheng Cai finally met the person he had always wanted to see - Zheng Sen.
After King Jin returned to Nanjing, Zheng Sen was released from prison. At this point, the fate of all the victims involved in the assassination has been determined. Under the impetus of King Jin, the court did not deal with this matter quickly.
Jin Xiaoding was ordered to find a place for Zheng Sen to live, near Zhongshan, and the newly built wall on the periphery was three zhang high, with smooth glazed tiles on it, and it was impossible to see the situation inside. There are a total of sixty guards and twelve servants in this mansion, and they will be Zheng Sen's long-term companions.
Zheng Cai was approved by King Jin, which shows Zheng Sen's side.
After two body searches before entering the village, to make sure that he did not carry a weapon blade, Zheng Cai finally saw the prince.
Zheng Sen was not as haggard as he imagined, but very quiet. It's just that he has been locked up in a prison for more than two months and has not seen the sun, and his face is not as ruddy as it used to be.
"Shizi" Zheng Cai rushed forward, looking very excited, and did not stop until Zheng Sen was half a step in front of him. There was no one in the parlor, but he wasn't sure if anyone was watching in the seclusion.
Zheng Sen was not used to a man being so affectionate to him, so he took a half step back, avoiding Zheng Cai's breath, and his eyes squinted left and right.
Zheng Cai understood, his heart was sad, and the prince was only afraid that he would have to live in a cage here for a few years.
"I'm glad to see you" Although Zheng Sen avoided Zheng Cai, the joy on his face was not fake.
"In a few days, I will return to Fujian with the soldiers of Dongying, I will take leave from the prince and come to see you often" Zheng Cai revealed his tone and told Zheng Sen about the agreement reached between the King of Jin and Zheng Zhilong.
"Are the soldiers of Dongying going back?" Zheng Sen was slightly sluggish, slightly disappointed.
The Zheng family's soldiers and horses returned to Fujian, which meant that Zhai Zhe would cover the sky in Nanjing, and the Zheng family completely lost the capital to compete for the world.
After he was released from the prison, he knew that his life was worry-free, and the thought in his heart was never dead. In the prison, he thought about it many times and understood that he had to bear the unshirkable responsibility for the failure of this assassination case. He was too hasty, and he despised Zhai Zhe, and there was no one around him who was proficient. He didn't believe that everyone in the court and China supported Zhai Zhe, at least the emperor could take advantage of it.
Zheng Cai hinted: "The prince is here to cultivate his mind and temperament, although the soldiers and horses of Dongying go back, there are still Fujian people in Jiangnan to accompany the son"
Zheng Sen had a premonition that something was wrong, did he want to stay in Nanjing City forever?
"When am I leaving?"
Zheng Cai said in a mosquito-like voice: "King Jin said to let you go back in five years"
"Five years" a trace of confusion flashed on Zheng Sen's face. He was left in Nanjing as a proton. Five years, several five years in his life, he suddenly felt extremely irritable in his heart.
"Does Daddy ignore me?"
Zheng Cai talked about Zheng Zhilong's instructions again, although Zheng Sen was still listening carefully, but few words entered his ears.
Zheng Cai looked at him and knew that he needed time to calm his mind, so he didn't say anything more and left. Zheng Sen is just a proton, not completely lost his freedom, and he will find a chance to visit him in a few months.
Business is a business matter, and a private matter is a private matter.
Since the general Zhai Zhe returned to Jiangnan from Huguang at the beginning of the year, Jiangnan has not been peaceful.
There are sad and happy things.
Following the opening of the sea ban, there was a news that detonated the city of Nanjing. The second son of the king of Jin and the granddaughter of Qian Sule, the secretary of the military department, were married. As a result, two of the five scholars in the cabinet are the in-laws of King Jin, which has to make people think about it.
This marriage is a matchmaker made by Chen Zilong, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and outsiders don't know what the specific inside story is.
Qian Sule's granddaughter is his eldest son and second daughter, one year older than Zhai Tianxing, but no one cares about this.
Zhai Tianxing is married, and people with heads and faces in Nanjing will inevitably give a gift. Everyone is playing Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts.
Liufu.
Liu Suifeng is carrying a big kettle to water, after he settled in Nanjing City, he no longer has to run around like before, the originally slightly deflated cheeks are gradually bulging, and a pair of eyes are more colorful.
Midspring.
The garden is colourful.
The garden of Liufu does not need to be tended by anyone, nor does it need to be pruned, and although all kinds of flowers bloom beautifully, the vines grow like weeds in the field, entangled with each other.
The willow is humming a little tune with the wind, and the clear spring at the mouth of the pot is like a lemon drizzle rolling down on the blooming petals.
Suddenly, a person broke in from outside, and greeted: "Big brother"
Liu Suifeng turned his head, saw that it was Liu Quan, and said: "You are also a rich man in Jiangnan, how can you walk in a hurry."
"Big brother, the second son is about to get married"
Liu Suifeng put down the kettle and buried it angrily: "I still use you to tell me, who in Nanjing City doesn't know"
"No, big brother, I'm preparing a gift at home today, thinking left and right is wrong, how should I give this gift? I'm here to ask my big brother."
"What's so difficult about giving gifts, you are Jiangnanfu, are you still afraid of giving gifts?"
Liu Quanke didn't have the heart to talk to Liu Suifeng, sat on the wooden bench next to him, and asked: "There is only two months between the marriage of the prince and the second son, and the gifts given will inevitably be compared." It should be slightly inferior to the second son according to the custom, but I always feel that it is inappropriate."
Liu Suifeng showed an approving look and said, "It's not easy for you to think of this section."
"What am I going to do?"
"Same"
Seeing Liu Suifeng's resolute answer, Liu Quan opened his mouth wide, scratched his head, and it was difficult to make a decision. He believes that every detail at this time is related to the fate of the Liu family in the future.
Liu Suifeng replied resolutely, "Don't guess anything too far, there's nothing wrong with people abandoning me."
Liu Quan looks at the willow with the wind, and it is difficult to make a decision. Listening to Liu Suifeng's tone, gift-giving is not only a gift, but also related to the Liu family's future choices.
"Madame may not care about these details, there are enough people around the prince, there are not many Liu families, and there are not many Liu families"
Liu Quan nodded and shook his head again.
Liu Suifeng lifted the kettle again, and while watering it, he said, "You and I are a family, and I will give you a real sentence." King Jin is in the prime of life, and although Lord Shangshu is now beautiful, he has not had a catastrophe, and according to my estimate, it is difficult for him to cross over."
"In fact, now everyone in Nanjing City is not as important as the little demon king in Huguang, although he is married to his wife's maid, but no one can figure out his mind, and no one can tie his hands and feet"
Liu Suifeng stared at Liu Quan, and said slowly: "King Jin can't either"
"Sect Director?"
Liu Suifeng nodded slightly, he rarely mentioned Zong Mao's name. Because even if he faced Zong Mao, he would feel lame.
"From now on, the Liu family will treat the prince and the second son equally. Chen Shangshu is above board, and he doesn't care about such trivial matters, and only the Fan family can find faults."
"Fan family" Liu Quan snorted coldly, his expression was quite disdainful, and said: "I just started a money bank, he followed very quickly, his family business has been left in Shanxi, and he has a swollen face and a fat man."
"This is exactly Fan Yongdou's vision" Liu Suifeng admired, he stood opposite Liu Quan and instructed: "You have to remember that the Liu family's silver comes from the prince, and it must be invested in the place where the prince needs it most." In addition to the armory, I heard that there has been a shortage of ships in Ningshao recently, and countless people can't buy ships with silver, so many opportunities can't be missed."
Liu Quan grumbled: "Shipbuilding? Where can my Liu family build ships" It's not that he hasn't thought about it, it's just that shipbuilding is too professional, and the Liu family has no foundation at all, so it's too risky to rush into this industry.
"It is impossible for the Liu family to make all the money after splitting the shares, and there are many skilled craftsmen who are afraid that they will not be able to find silver and backers."
Liu Quan was stunned and asked, "Do you really want to go to shipbuilding?" ”
"Shipbuilding, weapons and money" The spring water of the kettle in Liu Suifeng's hand had been exhausted, he casually threw the pot aside, and said: "These three places will be the triangle on which the Liu family stands, and the most important thing is Qianzhuang."
Liu Quan knew that his brother was talented, so he didn't talk nonsense.
"It's all at the behest of the eldest brother"
Liu Suifeng saw that Liu Quan's mind was uncertain, knowing that his mind was not strong, and said with a smile: "You don't believe my words."
Liu Quan hurriedly shook his head.
"On the way to Jinhua the day before yesterday, King Jin went to Ningshao." Liu Suifeng crossed his hands together, his eyes shone with wisdom, and said: "You must know that after King Jin returned to Jiangnan this year, he didn't go anywhere except Hangzhou and Nanjing, and he didn't even go to Jiangfang to inspect. And according to my estimate, King Jin will not return to Huguang this year. But he went to Ning Shao specifically, which showed that he was not at ease with Ning Shao, and Ning Shao's biggest shackle now was shipbuilding. ”
"I tell you that these three things are the most important to the King of Jin, not to mention the rolling of wealth, as long as the King of Jin is on the throne, the Liu family will do these three things well, even if they commit taboos, they can keep the family business"
This is the general trend of the court, although Liu Suifeng is not in business, but if he wants to make money in Daming, how can he get rid of the policy
Liu Quan praised: "Listening to the words of the eldest brother, the younger brother's heart suddenly brightened"
"Your talent is no less than mine, but the business has been coming down, you must know that the Liu family is no longer the small trader who secretly sold tea and horse fur from Hukou in the beginning, and now the Liu family is a king businessman, as long as you are anxious to meet the needs of the king of Jin, even if you lose the capital for a while, are you afraid that the king of Jin will treat you badly?"
Liu walked to the backyard with the water bottle in the wind.
In fact, he didn't explain clearly to Liu Quan why he wanted Liu Quan to treat the prince of Jin and the second prince equally
The so-called bet must be when others have not seen the preciousness, otherwise it is not called betting, it is called following the trend.
This bet has to take a little risk, because the biggest turmoil in Jiangnan will be some days away.
