When Zhang Gui and Shang Jinghui were talking at night, Liu Hongxun was also arguing with his old wife Li.

"You took all the money in the family and threw it in?!"

As soon as Liu Hongxun asked his old wife Li, Li replied without showing weakness: "So what, how much of the family's silver belongs to your Liu family, and not most of them are my dowry!" ”

"You money-grubbing short-sighted old woman!"

Liu Hongxun pointed at Li angrily, scolded, and threatened: "Believe it or not, the old man divorced you!" ”

"If you take a break, it's just that the concubine will bring all the profits she has earned back to her mother's house, and the people of your mother's family will not be unhappy!"

Lee continued to retort.

"You!"

Liu Hongxun was so angry that his lips turned purple.

But he didn't plan to divorce the Li family, after all, he was a decent person, and he didn't want people to think that his house was restless and difficult to control.

Even, in fact, Liu Hongxun will praise the Li family for being virtuous and gentle, being a good wife and mother, and actively playing for her, so as to make people feel that he Liu is more glamorous and has good morality at home.

Turning back to the words, Liu Hongxun couldn't scare the Li family when he threatened to divorce his wife, so he had to stop and ask: "That wealthy businessman Wang Yuanwai in Shanxi is really sure that his family has a large coal mine, which is bigger than the coal mine in Xishan?" ”

"Of course! Many people say it's more than 10 times bigger. I heard that even the noble relatives and ministers of Marquis Wu Qing believe it very much! ”

"When Maoshan Iron Mine issued stocks, our Liu family didn't catch up, all of them are masters, you have to say that Uncle Guo is just to make money, where is it to make everyone profitable, and as a result, those powerful ministers who supported Uncle Guo to do this, which one is not making a lot of money now? When the time came for the dividends, the money was poured into the houses of these people like water. ”

"Now, I finally came across such an opportunity, if my Liu family doesn't make a fortune anymore, when will I wait?"

Li Shi said very seriously.

"See the money! Go to bed! ”

Liu Hongxun scolded, and didn't say anything more, seemingly acquiescing to the fact that Li took the family's money to buy coal mine stocks.

When the wealthy families in the capital were all stirred up by the wealthy merchants of the Wang family because of the coal mine raising shares, Yang Sichang had already led the army led by Li Fuming to the south.

It's just that during the march, Yang Sichang soon found that many of Li Fuming's troops were still using guns that were very worn, so he called Li Fuming and asked: "What's the matter, the Department of Industry didn't change your firearms and gunpowder?" ”

Li Fuming hurriedly bowed down and said: "The ministry is angry, the Department of Industry has not given it, but it has already agreed with the lowly post that the ordered firearms and gunpowder will be delivered at the end of this month." The lowly post has left soldiers and horses in the Department of Industry to escort the ordered firearms and gunpowder, and as soon as the Department of Industry delivers, they will immediately send the firearms and gunpowder. ”

After hearing this, Yang Sichang said: "You have to send someone to the Industrial Department to urge, you can't delay it for too long!" Military affairs cannot be allowed to delay at all, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable! ”

"Yes! After returning from his humble duties, he immediately sent someone back to Beijing to urge! ”

Li Fuming agreed.

Yang Sichang nodded, and then rode a horse and Li Hengmao, the director of Zanhua, with a number of guards and cavalry of the Chinese army, went out of the big tent together and inspected along the post road.

For a while, Yang Sichang suddenly found that a large group of scholars wearing Confucian scarves were coming towards him, so he walked over and asked, "Where do you want to go to study?" ”

Although Yang Sichang did not hesitate to backstab a scholar like Zheng Sanjun, the secretary of the Criminal Department, as a member of the Wenchen Scholar, he would still show the courtesy and virtuous corporal side to the Wenchen scholars on the bright side, so he called these scholars to be sages, and these scholars walking in groups may be to drink flower wine or go to the theater, which is directly characterized as going on a study tour.

A scholar at the head also took the initiative to come and saluted Yang Sichang and said, "Back to this department, student Lu Zhangzu, and all your friends are ready to go south." ”

Because Yang Sichang's flag plate has the words "The Right Squire of the Military Department" written on it, although this scholar does not know Yang Sichang, he still refers to Yang Sichang as a minister.

Yang Sichang's face changed after hearing this, and he immediately shouted: "Surround these people!" ”

"Yes!"

So, the cavalry around Yang Sichang surrounded these soldiers.

Lu Zhangzu and other scholars were shocked.

Yang Sichang asked: "You must be going to join the puppet dynasty and participate in the big competition of the puppet dynasty, just say, yes or no?" ”

When Lu Zhangzu and the other scholars heard this, they became even more frightened.

Yang Sichang then shouted: "Search!" ”

"Slow!"

Suddenly, Ancestor Lu Zhang shouted, and then said, "The ministry doesn't have to insult me like this. So that the ministry will know that we are indeed going south to join the Holy Dynasty, from the edict of the first emperor, and be loyal to the Ming Lord! Instead of staying in Beijing, he went out of the puppet dynasty and let the national thief Zhang Gui and others control the dynasty! ”

Lu Zhangzu also has no way, so he can only admit it.

Because as long as Yang Sichang searches his body, he will be able to find out the posts on them to the officials of the southern puppet dynasty.

After Lu Zhangzu said, he continued: "Therefore, the ministry should not call the Holy Dynasty a pseudo-dynasty, His Majesty in the South is the inherited emperor of the first emperor, and he is the emperor Ming Zhengzuo!" ”

After hearing this, Yang Sichang said: "How can you think like this, and turn black and white upside down, what prince in the south is true or false, whether Your Majesty was killed or not, do you really not understand, or do you not understand?" ”

"Ministry, does it matter?"

Lu Zhangzu asked.

Yang Sichang: "Isn't it important? ”

Lu Zhangzu replied very decisively: "Yes, the student thinks that it is not important! ”

Then, Lu Zhangzu said: "The important thing is that today's imperial court is controlled by thieves like Zhang Gui, who tampered with the ancestral system, abolished official learning, and collected wealth from the people under the banner of respecting the Han and degrading the people. Such a court, how do you let us be loyal?! ”

"If you really feel that the court is unreasonable, you should go to the imperial court, serve the imperial court, and then change the imperial court and the king, instead of changing to a pseudo-dynasty."

Yang Sichang persuaded with good words.

Lu Zhangzu sneered: "Why should we be humiliated by his power to rape Zhang Gui, for the king of the scum, we should overthrow him!" ”

As he spoke, Lu Zhangzu pointed to the many scholars behind him and said: "Not only the students think so, but many colleagues can't tolerate the fact that the king of the people is also the right to rape the world!" Most of the scholars in the student's hometown have already left for the south, and since the imperial court does not pay attention to us, then he can only be abandoned by us. ”

"That's right! The thief should be punished, and the faint king should die! ”

The other scholars really responded.

"Hear me, Ministry, this is the back of the heart!"

Lu Zhangzu smiled proudly after speaking.

For Lu Zhangzu and other Confucian scholars, they really want to go to the southern puppet dynasty to be officials, after all, they can continue to lie down as masters, continue to enslave the most hard-working Han people in the world, and enjoy the life of clothes and food to open their mouths.

Yang Sichang also had to sigh after hearing this, and said in his heart: "This is indeed caused by the scourge of Uncle Zhang Gui, and that Daoless Faint King!" Now the wise men of the world are forced to go south one after another. ”

Lu Zhangzu continued: "If the ministry really wants to save the imperial court, it should be explained to the imperial court, tell the imperial court, restore the ancestral system, and don't change the things of the ancestors." Don't hold the imperial examination in the way of separate subjects, and also test any arithmetic and the like that does not enter the stream! In addition, don't mention any more respect and disparagement, be heavy and light on profit! So that everyone in the world knows the etiquette and benevolence, and it is necessary to make everyone smart and rude! ”

Yang Sichang nodded unconsciously after hearing this, and said unconsciously: "The loss of people's hearts is the fault of Uncle Zhang Guo!" ”
