Where does Liu Ru live now?

lived in Wang Mingran's Hengshan villa, which Xu Ying asked him to invite from Suzhou.

Wang Mingran's real name is Wang Ruqian, the word is Mingran, the son of the salt merchant's family.

"Zhong Cong, when will the head town send troops to Nanzhili?" Wang Mingran said curiously.

Xu Ying smiled: "After pacifying Jiangnan." ”

Wang Mingran sighed: "Alas, I can't wait." ”

Huizhou salt merchants, they want to be thieves!

Before Emperor Hongzhi, salt sales were carried out in the "open system", with the boss of Shaanxi salt merchants and the second salt merchant of Shanxi.

After that, the "folding color system" was implemented, and the salt merchants of Huizhou came to the top.

Today's Yangzhou, if only in terms of financial resources, Huizhou merchants are the first, Shanxi merchants are second, and Jiangyou merchants are third.

Jiangyou, that is, Jiangxi!

Jiangxi businessmen gather in Yangzhou, mainly selling special products from Jiangxi, Fujian and Guangdong provinces.

With Zhao Han's abolition of excesses and miscellaneous taxes, the protection of the interests of merchants, and the encouragement of industrial and commercial development, the Jiangxi merchant gang is growing rapidly.

Last year, a large water-to-water spinning wheel was also developed that could spin cotton yarn. Cheese yarn and cheesecloth from Jiangxi, due to their large quantity and low price, violently hit the low-end market in the north.

The changes in Jiangxi's merchant gangs are seen by businessmen from all provinces.

To be honest, very envious!

The Huizhou merchant gang is the most envious group.

Because after Chongzhen came to power, the life of Huizhou businessmen was very difficult. Especially in the past few years, Chongzhen suppressed the Donglin Party and appointed a large number of northwest officials in Nanzhili.

The competition between the Huizhou and Shanxi merchants is fierce, who do you say the northwest officials will help?

Take Yangzhou as an example, because Shanxi merchants came from other provinces to settle down, the imperial court specially approved them to have "business status". Scholars with business status can study in the prefectures of Huai'an and Yangzhou, and there are seven places every year that do not need to return to their hometowns for the imperial examination.

Huizhou businessmen were red-eyed, and Chongzhen had jointly signed a name for five years, asking them to be admitted to business.

The prefect of Yangzhou is from Shanxi, and he directly stood up to pull the bias, which made this request impossible to realize.

At the same time, Chongzhen frantically sent more to the two Huai salt merchants. As a result, officials from the northwest specially caught the wool of the Hui merchants and had a relaxed attitude towards the salt merchants in Shanxi.

Huizhou salt merchants like Wang Mingran, after learning about Zhao Han's industrial and commercial support policies, couldn't wait for Zhao Tianwang to immediately take down Nanzhili. When the time comes, not only can we abolish the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, but we can also take the opportunity to overturn the sworn enemy (Shanxi salt merchants)!

Huizhou businessmen also like to buy land after making money, but the real wealth of Huizhou comes from the barren states and counties. How much silver can you earn from those fields at home?

As long as Zhao Han supports industry and commerce, the fields will be divided!

These Huizhou billionaires have settled in Huaiyang for hundreds of years. Their connection with their hometown is just to go home to worship their ancestors during the Chinese New Year, and their children go home to take the imperial examination.

"Brother Xian, you write back to urge," Wang Mingran said, "As long as the headquarters sends troops to Nanzhili, the Hui merchants will inevitably respond." Not only cooperate with the division of fields and release slaves, but also cooperate with the inside and outside to help the Datong Heavenly Soldiers seize the city! ”

Xu Ying asked, "Do you have a way in Nanjing?" ”

Wang Mingran said: "Huai'an and Yangzhou, nine out of ten are stable, and they will definitely be able to win the city and surrender." As for Nanjing, I'm afraid we can't catch it, but we can think of a way. ”

Xu Ying, the spy leader, even if he doesn't do anything in the future, he has already won the two commercial giants of Huai'an and Yangzhou for Zhao Han!

Huai'an, Yangzhou, the city of commerce and trade.

Huizhou merchants ranked first, and Jiangxi merchants ranked third. As long as Zhao Hanbing is in the city, the two major merchant gangs will work together to make trouble, and it will be absolutely easy to open the city gate.

"Brother Mingran, don't worry," Xu Ying said with a smile, "After the summer harvest next year, Jiangxi will inevitably send troops again, and at least one more province can be taken." With such a military situation, he will attack Nanzhi in two or three years, and Brother Ming Ran can't wait for two or three years? ”

"Haha," Wang Mingran laughed, "Don't say two or three years, you can wait for three or five years." ”

The two came to the Hengshan villa together, and immediately a servant came to open the door.

After settling the more than a dozen sword-carrying warriors, Wang Mingran asked, "What about Miss Liu?" ”

"I'm painting with Miss Lin." The servant replied.

Liu Ru's name was newly changed last year. The last name was Yang Ai, and now it is called Liu Yin, and the words are like this.

Miss Lin is Lin Xue, a famous prostitute, good at painting, and Wang Mingran's favorite.

At this moment, the two of them were painting, and when they heard the servant's invitation, they immediately put down their brushes.

Liu Ru was very confused, she was in Suzhou, she was invited to Hangzhou with a lot of money, but she never saw the owner show up, she has been living in the villa for two months.

Lin Xue took Liu Ru to the garden and saw two men drinking tea.

Lin Xue introduced: "This is Wang Mingran Wang Gongzi. ”

"I've seen Wang Gongzi." Liu Ru bent down and saluted.

Wang Mingran smiled and said: "This is Jiangxi celebrity Huang Ying, Huang Zhongcong." ”

"I've seen Huang Gongzi." The two women hurriedly greeted.

Xu Ying got up and arched her hand: "Fortunately!" ”

Wang Mingran said: "Sit down." ”

The two women sit upright, they can't see the smell of wind and dust, and their temperament is more beautiful than everyone's ladies.

They are famous prostitutes who can be positioned as stars.

If you are only rich, at most I can have a meal with you and play and sing two little songs.

You have to have money, you have to have fame, you have to have both, you have to have both. In this way, you can become friends, and if you want to develop into a lover, you have to work hard.

Not to mention that rich businessmen spend money on money, even local officials dare not force famous prostitutes to do anything.

Because the real famous prostitute knows too many celebrities and gentry, she can't afford to offend easily, and there is no need to offend!

Take Xie Sanbin as an example, this person received one million silver when he suppressed bandits, and he couldn't pursue Liu Ru in history.

This product is good friends with Qian Qianyi, and the two pursued Liu Ruyi at the same time, and almost didn't hit the dog's brain.

What about Xie Sanbin's net worth of millions? What about being famous?

Liu Ru chose the more talented Qian Qianyi after all, and even Qian Qianyi built a house for Liu Ruyi, but if the money was not enough, he still went to Xie Sanbin to borrow it.

Wang Mingran asked, "Have you read those books?" ”

"I've seen it." Lin Xue nodded.

"How does it feel?" Wang Mingran asked with a smile.

Lin Xue was silent.

Liu Ru was silent.

The "Datong" series of books brought them great shock. Jiangxi prostitutes, after being good, can be an official, and can also marry a good family as a wife.

In their eyes, female missionaries are also officials.

They yearn for it very much, but they don't dare to say it explicitly, after all, Jiangxi belongs to thieves.

Xu Ying smiled: "I'm from Jiangxi." ”

As introduced before, Xu Ying is a famous person in Jiangxi. Repeating at this point has its own different meanings.

It's a thief!

Liu Ru looked at Xu Ying in surprise, and then at Wang Mingran, this rich businessman actually became a thief?

"Miss Liu knows Zhang Ximing (Zhang Pu)?" Xu Ying asked suddenly.

Liu nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Two years ago, Zhang Pu visited the famous prostitute Xu Fo.

Coincidentally, Xu Fo got married the day before, leaving only the maidservant Yang Ai.

Yang Ai is Liu Rus.

Zhang Pu was disappointed, but they came in a group, and they had to have a drink before going back.

So, as a maidservant, Liu Rushi accompanied this group of scholars to take a boat trip to the lake. She is more beautiful than Xu Fo, and her poetry and calligraphy are also better than Xu Fo, and she suddenly stunned this group of scholars.

Because Zhang Pu is the leader of the Restoration Society, Liu Ru is famous because of this, and he is really among the top famous prostitutes.

Xu Ying smiled: "Zhang Pu refuses to see me, he knows my identity." Can Miss Liu come forward and write a letter to ask Zhang Pu out? ”

Liu Ru thought about it carefully and said, "If this is the case, won't I be a thief openly? ”

"After I meet Zhang Pu, I can send you to Jiangxi," Xu Ying said, "Even if Miss Liu doesn't like Jiangxi, she can go back to Jiangnan in a few years." At that time, no one will dare to arrest you for this matter, because Jiangnan is already under the rule of Zhao Tianwang. ”

Liu Ru thought about it again and again, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write a letter to Zhang Ximing." ”

Xu Ying arched her hand and said, "Thank you for your help!" ”

Lin Xue suddenly asked: "Huang Gongzi, is Jiangxi really as written in the book?" ”

"Miss Lin will go and see?" Xu Ying didn't explain either.

Liu Ru asked: "There is really a person who was raped by a prostitute and was ...... by Zhao Zhao Tianwang was hanged? ”

Xu Ying corrected: "It's not a prostitute, because she has already been good." And this woman is now married to Chen Zhangsi of the Ministry of Missions. ”

"Department of Missions?" Liu Ru asked curiously, "Is it the teaching department over there in Jiangxi?" ”

Xu Ying explained seriously: "You can understand it as the Ministry of Rites, and Chen Zhangsi is the Book of the Ministry of Rites!" ”

Liu Ru and Lin Xue glanced at each other, both of them with shocked faces.

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu married a good prostitute?

Even if those are anti-thieves, they are also anti-thieves who occupy the three provinces, and maybe one day they will be able to win the world.

Lin Xue asked, "That woman has been a concubine for several years, and she hasn't been kicked out of the house at this time, right?" ”

"Who told you to be a concubine?" Xu Ying said with a smile, "That's the wife that Chen Zhangsi is marrying, and Chen Zhangsi has not taken a concubine so far." ”

Liu Ru was shocked: "I am a wife, and I don't have a concubine yet?" ”

Xu Ying nodded very solemnly.

At noon, we ate together.

After lunch, Xu Ying and Wang Mingran left the villa, and they were going to establish the Hangzhou Intelligence Liaison Station.

The two prostitutes returned to their rooms, both speechless in shock.

Liu said: "What a good woman, I met a wishful man." ”

Lin Xue suddenly said: "I want to go to Jiangxi, will my sister go?" ”

"Go, go!" Liu Ru hurriedly replied.

Lin Xue stood up excitedly, paced back and forth in the room, walked and stopped: "Sister, you say, can King Zhao win the world?" ”

"I don't know," Liu said, "I heard that there is a lot of chaos in the north and south, but Jiangxi is very stable. In the first two years, I only knew that there was a Luling giant, who seemed to occupy Ji'an Mansion. In the blink of an eye, it was said that it occupied Jiangxi, Guangdong and half of Huguang. With such a front, I am afraid that sooner or later we will have to seize Jiangnan. Even if you can't sit in the world, I think it's okay to rule by rowing the river. ”

Lin Xue clasped her hands and pinched her fingers: "It's good that he is the emperor, and all women in the world are blessed!" ”

Liu Ru took out the "Datong Collection", she was not interested in anything else, and directly turned to the "Theory of Qualifications", muttering to herself: "Men are superior to women in their positions, and men and women are equal in their qualifications; The good and the humble are in their position, and the good and the low are equal in their qualifications. It's so well written, a few words are better than ten thousand poems and books. ”

Lin Xue went to the "Theory of Liberating Slaves" and said: "Mr. Zhao not only advocates the equality of good and low, but also eliminates the difference between good and low, and wants to remove all the lowly people in the world. ”

Liu Ru nodded and said: "The Theory of Personality is knowledge, and the Theory of Liberation of Slaves is action, which is the unity of knowledge and action. This Mr. Zhao is a real scholar, not an ordinary talent. After Huang Gongzi's errand, I will definitely go to Ji'an, and maybe I can meet this Mr. Zhao. ”

Lin Xue said with a smile: "Mr. Zhao is in Jiangxi, just like an emperor. How noble is that, can you and I still see the emperor? ”

Liu Ru also laughed, and then began to fantasize: "If I go to Jiangxi, I will find a full-time businessman." Maybe you can find Ruyi Langjun, and when the time comes, you will teach your husband and children, and train your son to be a big official. ”

"Hahaha, who doesn't want to," Lin Xue laughed, "I like that Chen Zhangsi, he is a considerate woman, and it is also very good to be a concubine for him, and he will definitely not suffer in this life." ”
