Chapter 128: Helper See, Xanadu

Chapter 128 [Helper See, Xanadu]

Liang Bin no longer had a good impression of the imperial court, and Ao Bai wanted to rebel, so he submitted his resignation at the first time, which was quickly approved, and he took Li Xuemin to Xinzhou, Shanxi. Ao Bai has already made arrangements in advance, although Liang Bin has no official position, he directly represents him and is the chief administrator appointed by him.

When Wei Zhongxian was in power, he replaced the official coefficient of the two places with his own people, and persuaded Chongzhen to only kill the main eunuchs and let go of the petty officials in various places. The reason is that the treasury is already in deficit, and if it has something to do with the eunuch party, it will cost a lot of manpower and material resources to replace it. When a new official takes office, he may not be able to do a better job, too many states have something to do with the eunuch party, and they have all changed at this time, which will affect the operation of the local government, so it is better to try it out first, and wait for them to do something wrong again and investigate and deal with it one by one.

Chongzhen's original idea was to replace them all. But when they thought that they had pushed the eunuchs too hard, they reversed. If you press the officials in various places tightly, you don't know what happened, so you follow Aobai's advice. And those magistrates lost their backers after the fall of Wei Zhongxian, and they were worried. Ao Bai sent someone to inform them that they were okay and saved them, and the group was immediately grateful and took refuge one after another. As long as you are not a fool, you can see how promising Aobai is in the court.

In the past year, the Lu family has almost always spent their family wealth and lost money to avoid disasters. Now it's harvest time, and those who stay behind tell them what to do next. The people of the Lu family were all taken aback, the eight major Jin merchants had all fallen, not only did they not fall, but they even monopolized Zhangjiakou's business. Although they knew that there were ghosts in it, the people of the Lu family didn't ask. The other party's split account requires them to be completely willing to accept it.

Winter is approaching, the Lu family is responsible for buying a large amount of grain, the Black Stone Mansion and the Salt Gang are responsible for the bodyguard transportation, and the transaction with the Jurchens will start again in Zhangjiakou.

The Black Stone Village expanded with the support of the Salt Gang. The rogues who fell into the grass in Shanxi came to defect en masse, and in a year it has become a team of more than 5,000 people, and they are still not family members. The reason why it is so prosperous is because of the secret implementation of tuntian in Shanxi.

With the support of the Lu family, the displaced people were able to survive, and the prefects of Xinzhou, Taiyuan and other places turned a blind eye under the instruction of Aobai, ignoring these people. They were able to open up farmland, rely on the introduction of foreign high-yield crops, and soon achieved self-sufficiency. What made them ecstatic was that this part of the income from the reclamation did not have to pay taxes, because the imperial court did not record it.

Su Meng'er asked Aobai, since he already knew the method of opening up wasteland and tuntian, why didn't he start the emperor and implement it throughout the country, so that it was possible to save the Ming Dynasty in crisis.

The tuntian system was Cao Caoming's. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the degree of war was far greater than that of the late Ming Dynasty, Cao Cao could still Tuntian in the north, and the Ming Dynasty could also solve the crisis in Tuntian. And now both in terms of cultivation technology and the abundance of crops, it is much better than that of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

But the Ming Dynasty can't implement it, the problem is not the climate, not the crops, not the displaced people, but the inability of those extremely thorough bureaucrats to implement. They don't care whether the people live or die, and they have to pay taxes if they have land. The imperial court repeatedly increased salaries, and many peasants did not dare to plant even if they had land, let alone open up wasteland. Who is that for? After planting grain, most of them have paid taxes, and the rest is not enough to eat, who can stand such a life?

In less than a year, the first launch and all this is kept secret, and the people are not stupid, they know that if they say it, the painstaking efforts of the savior "Huang Peng" will be in vain. At that time, the taxes of the imperial court will also fall on their heads. Who doesn't want to live well? It is said that some people in Shanxi do not worship Buddha and worship "Huang Peng" instead.

Ao Bai is very satisfied with this report. And the person who brought the news was Su Meng'er's father, Su Haiyuan. He finally met with the Salt Gang leader.

There is more than one good news brought by Su Yuanhai. Now it's not just the Salt Gang, but the Cao Gang has also decided to cling to Aobai. The two gangs of Yancao were already very close, helping each other and benefiting each other, they told the leader of the Cao gang about worship, and the other party made a decision after some calculation.

Ao Bai already has all the conditions and can easily become a big smuggler, and his things are still supplied to the Jurchens. If Chongzhen knew about these things, he was afraid that he would immediately push him out and kill him. However, under the unanimous flickering of the ministers of the Donglin Party, Chongzhen has successfully abolished his martial arts, Dongchang no longer exists, and the spy agency Jinyiwei has also been burned to the name of the extinction. The court was completely deaf and blind. Even if there is news, Ao Bai, who is the commander of the Jinyi Guard, can intercept the news first, and secretly kill the person who complained or send him to a neurological hospital.

Su Haiyuan does not have the kind of gangsterism in the rivers and lakes, he is very polite, knowledgeable, and speaks properly, although he is nearly forty years old, he is still a little handsome. Su Meng'er's beauty comes from good genetics.

Su Haiyuan chatted with Ao Bai for a while, very speculative, the more he looked at each other, and said with a smile: "Lord Huang, I have never seen Meng'er say so many good things about a man, and after seeing you, I realized that you are not only talented, but also have a very good image." As a father, I hope that Meng'er can be happy in the future, and you must not bully her. ”

Su Meng'er said coldly: "Dad, don't get me wrong. I say good things about him because he does have a future, it is possible for the people to live a good life, and the brothers of the Salt Gang can also be guaranteed, and I don't mean anything to him. ”

Ao Bai saw that Su Meng'er's eyes almost erupted with fire, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, Meng'er and I are just good friends now. ”

He knew that women were often duplicitous, but Su Meng'er was too proud, and if she didn't follow her wishes, she might offend her.

Su Haiyuan also understands her daughter's character, she belongs to the kind of person whose self-esteem is far more emotional than emotional, and she has hardly been soft since she was a child. "Huang Peng" is good in all aspects, but he is already married, has three wives, and two children. She can't let go of her son and serve a husband with other women.

Su Haiyuan felt a little regretful and sighed: "In the future, I want Lord Huang to take care of Meng'er more." Her mother died early, and she had no relatives in the capital, so I was actually very worried. ”

"Uncle, don't worry, I will treat her as a family member." Su Meng'er's gaze was like substance, and Ao Bai felt like a pinprick, and added: "Her martial arts are so high, I also deeply admire her, in fact, she can also take care of herself." ”

Su Meng'er snorted and stopped talking. Ao Bai can only smile bitterly. He felt that Su Meng'er's personality problem was too big. The strange thing is that it hasn't changed from when I first met, but I don't hate it anymore, and the sense of threat I had earlier has disappeared. Su Meng'er can guess many of his ideas, such a good partner should be regarded as a confidant.

Ao Bai made a few requests to Su Haiyuan in a timely manner. The first is the book of "Quick Knife Hong Jitong", the salt gang has to travel in other places, and it can't have anything to do with him. He didn't want to get into trouble, and it didn't matter what pen name he used, he only cared about how many ordinary people could see it. In addition, recruit craftsmen who are good at Ming creation and let them do some research, such as explosives.

Su Meng'er listened very seriously and asked, "What are you doing with these things?" Are you ready to get started soon? ”

"Of course not, just research early, there will be more results. Today's muskets and cannons have many flaws, and weapons are not so easy to improve. As long as it's someone who is good at Ming, I have to try to recruit as much as possible, and if I find someone, it's no problem for me to invite it personally. ”

He felt that this was very important, and now the Ming Dynasty firearms did not have to be inferior to foreign countries, as long as they found more people to study hard, they should be able to take the lead in a few decades.

The Ming Dynasty did not attach importance to the creation of the Ming Dynasty, and Ao Bai said that he was willing to invite these craftsmen in person, and the spirit of Corporal Lixian made Su Yuanhai feel good. Back then, the Salt Gang was attached to Wei Zhongxian, and its status was not very high, and it was often looked down upon by the eunuchs, and in order to get through the relationship, they also had to hand over a large part of the profits, but Ao Bai didn't care about money at all. The money earned is all from the Salt Gang, and when necessary, the Salt Gang will need to fund it. Ao Bai treats the people of the Salt Gang as friends, not lackeys.

The two talked, and Ao Bai was very polite and regarded Su Yuanhai as an elder. Su Yuanhai never dreamed that he would one day be able to talk to a first-class official like this. The reason why people are happy can be very simple, as long as they are respected.

The first time they met, Su Yuanhai was determined to support Ao Bai to the end, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Huang, I will find someone to do these things as soon as possible, I have also heard your story." Your ideas are not something that we rough people can keep up with, but I'm honored to be able to give you a helping hand. ”

After sending her father away, Su Meng'er asked: "You haven't said what you want explosives for, you don't need cannons, just explosives, how can you hurt people?" ”

Ao Bai smiled: "If I tell you that I have come up with a way to make people fly in the sky, do you believe it?" When the time comes, as long as people throw the prepared bombs from the sky and down from the sky, who can prevent it? But now in the capital, I can't do experiments, you'll see you in the future. ”

Su Meng'er didn't believe it at all, and said disdainfully: "How can people fly in the sky? You don't have to talk nonsense here. If you can really do it, I'll take your last name......"

With my last name? Huang Meng'er? It sounded a bit h, Ao Bai laughed, and saw that Su Meng'er was pinching a needle and was about to prick him before he quickly stopped. Waving his hand, he said: "It is really possible for my method to succeed, and there is an eighty percent chance of it." But if you really fly up, it's scary enough, you can do this experiment with me in the future, don't be afraid of heights. ”

Human beings have a yearning for flying, and Su Meng'er is no exception. "Okay, I'll watch when you want to try it in the future."

Ao Bai knew that he would succeed, and what he wanted to know was a hot air balloon, which was not difficult to do. Anyone who has gone to school knows this principle. He thinks this will be one of his killer tools to dominate the world. In the future, if you have a base area, you can produce a bunch of airships and fly over the opponent's military camp to carry out an air raid, which is like playing the Red Police and using Ginov to bomb the enemy's base without anti-aircraft guns. If the battle is fought like this, it doesn't matter if you are cavalry or infantry, it is strange that you can't win the battle. And it can also be used for reconnaissance in normal times, as long as you get a telescope at high altitude.

Soon it will be the end of the year.

Ao Bai Tian has nothing to do except go to court. The red mansion in Tianling Mountain was burned, and the new house has not yet been built. Jinyiwei's office has been placed in the city. Aobai's office is located at his own home, and if there is something important, his subordinates will come to his house to report. He was reporting to the emperor according to the gravity of the situation.

Jinyiwei's efficiency is really not even one-third of what it used to be. In addition to the post station and the special liaison inn, many non-staff members of the Jinyi Guard who were disguised with special identities could no longer be recovered.

He accompanies his three ladies and his children every day, and he also understands the hardships of being a parent. These two boys sleep during the day, and they are particularly energetic at night, crying and making trouble, but fortunately, the palace has given a nurse and maid to serve, and they take turns to coax the children at night, otherwise the people of He Mansion will not have to sleep.

Ao Bai is in a good mood, and the entry of the golden bell jar has also improved, and he has practiced to the third level. The first five layers are easy without drugs, if it weren't for the fact that Shaolin Temple didn't have those medicinal herbs to take a bath, I was afraid that I would practice faster crazy. It also gives him the possibility to catch up with the madness.

Soon to practice to the fifth level, Ao Bai Tuqi thought, how about buying a pharmacy and changing the name to "Bao Zhilin"? Anyway, his son's name is Huang Feihong, so Bao Zhilin should simply start from this generation. When the time comes, I can shout the slogan "buy xx medicinal materials at a high price", so that someone will send the medicine.

He thought again that since he could practice to the ninth layer in the capital, it proved that a certain pharmacy had all the medicinal materials needed for the first nine layers.

Ao Bai immediately asked his subordinates to inquire about the situation in the pharmacy in the capital and wanted to know where Yang Yuan's medicine was bought. As a result, a brocade guard quickly reported: "My lord, that pharmacy is in the name of Tian Ergeng, and the emperor has already given it to you, and you just donated it not long ago." ”

Ao Bai slammed his head on the table, why didn't he take a good look at the list of rewards in the first place? The inspection was all done by the family of Hefu, and when the donation was made, it was also done by the family, and he didn't care about it at all, so there was an oolong.

He hurriedly inquired about the location of the pharmacy, in case there was a change of people, the original purchase channel was also changed, and if he couldn't get everything, it would be broken.

The name of the pharmacy is Baicaotang, located in the coffin alley, its name is very indecent, Ao Bai went to the pharmacy alone, and a little medicine boy asked: "This son, do you want to prescribe medicine or see a doctor?" ”

Ao Bai smiled: "I want to find someone, I am Huang Peng, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, please let your boss come out to see me." ”

As soon as the medicine boy heard that he was a famous figure in the capital, he hurriedly called the boss. After a while, a girl came out of the house, with a thin powder on her face, her eyebrows and her eyes clear, quite a bit of beauty. She said lazily: "The little girl is the boss, what is Lord Huang looking for me?" ”

Ao Bai looked at her with a strange expression, seemed to be a little resentful of herself, and smiled: "Girl, have we met before?" Why do you look at me with some hostility in my eyes? ”

If the air force is built, there will be no city that cannot be attacked. The cannons and muskets at the end of the Ming Dynasty were flawed, slow shooting, low power, etc., but the surprise soldiers from the sky were not something that any army could defend.
