Zhang Anshi ordered all the people.

And don't tell them what they're going to do.

But he called Zhu Yong.

looked at Zhu Yong with a smile.

Zhu Yong's heart was furious: "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”

"Your Daddy ......"

"What's wrong with my father? What's wrong with him again? Zhu Yong was furious.

Zhang Anshi said: "It's nothing, your father is about to go to Jiangxi, right?" ”

Zhu Yong frowned and nodded.

Zhang Anshi sighed: "Tell you a good news, a bad news. ”

Zhu Yong didn't think about it and said, "Let's talk about the bad news first." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I'm afraid that there will be danger." ”

Zhu Yong was happy: "In this world, except for the emperor, who dares to treat my father?" It's not me boasting, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't help him. ”

Zhang Anshi was angry, and said angrily: "You person, what are you doing to mention my brother-in-law in a good manner?" ”

Zhu Yong sneered and said: "It's just an analogy, don't be angry, don't be angry, big brother." Big brother, don't worry about my father, don't worry, my father is an old fox, and no one is more cunning than him. The good news? ”

Zhang Anshi was speechless for a while at Zhu Yong's words, and then said: "The good news is...... If your father can escape this time, he will make a fortune. ”

"Make a fortune?" Zhu Yong was stunned.

Zhang Anshi said: "Okay, don't be verbose, start now, and our next itinerary will be kept secret." ”

Zhu Yong immediately felt that things were not simple, he glanced at Zhang Yuan, and then said, "What's wrong?" ”

At this point, Qiu Song's performance was very good, he only stood lazily on the sidelines, looking indifferent to it, and he didn't know what was going on in his head.

Zhang Anshi said calmly: "Don't ask more questions if you shouldn't ask, all in all, this time must be a tough battle, and you have to bring more gunpowder." ”

As soon as the word gunpowder came out, Qiu Song became interested, and the whole person was visibly energetic, only to see him say: "Big brother, isn't that so?" ”

As he spoke, he untied his belt, then pulled the hem of his robe, and immediately spread his outer garment with both hands, and a circle of gunpowder was tied inside his garment.

Zhang Anshi's eyes widened, and he shouted: "Don't come here........."

……

Two hours later, Zhang Anshi led a team of people, but they were dressed as a cargo presser, and came to the ferry in a majestic manner.

And here, there were already dozens of ships waiting here, and immediately after, Zhang Anshi saw Zhu Di.

Zhu Di was led by dozens of Jinyi lieutenants under the leadership of Chen Daowen.

He stood at the bow of the boat with his hands behind his back, and when Zhang Anshi boarded the boat, he turned around and looked at the turbulent water under his feet: "Why don't you see Zhu Yong and the others?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Another ship has been arranged." ”

Zhu Di said: "I still want to meet those three boys, knock on it, why are they different boats?" ”

"This ......"

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi with a strange look on his face, and said, "What? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "The minister doesn't dare to hide it, it's the minister's fourth brother, that is, Qiu Song, he ...... He had to hold a pile of gunpowder with him, and the minister felt that it was a little dangerous, so it was better to let His Majesty stay away from him. ”

Zhu Di: "......"

After thinking about it, he seemed to feel that a person like Qiu Song was indeed a bit perverted, so Zhu Di said: "What about Zhu Yong and Zhang Xun?" ”

"The minister arranged for him to be on other boats, if the second brother and the third brother were on the same boat, the fourth brother was sensitive, and he might feel that something was wrong, and the minister was afraid that he would be cranky, if he couldn't think about it, it would be bad, let the second brother and the third brother accompany him, and he would not suspect him."

Zhu Di: "......"

After a pause, Zhu Di said: "Qiu Fu is clearly a very stable person." ”

He sighed, but didn't say anything more, and Zhu Di didn't have anything to say about a spiritual guy like Qiu Song.

Zhu Di said: "Since they are your brothers, they should teach them the truth of how to behave in the world." Don't be so old and confused. After they are lords, they will become Xiao He, and they will be defeated, so they will inevitably be contaminated with some strange tempers, and I think this is because the people around them are too arrogant to them. You are a brother, and you should be taught severely. ”

Zhang Anshi only said yes.

Zhu Di immediately looked at Zhang Anshi with a smile and said, "This side of the capital has already been arranged, right?" ”

Zhang Anshi didn't expect Zhu Di to suddenly ask like this.

But soon, he realized that there was something in Zhu Di's words.

So he tacitly smiled at Zhu Di and said, "It's already arranged." ”

Zhu Di said with a little emotion: "On the surface, it is Jiangxi that has an accident, but the real henchman is in trouble, but it is under my nose!" You guy, you can understand my deep meaning. ”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "It's still Your Majesty's Shengming, unpredictable." The minister worked very hard to figure out His Majesty's thoughts, and he could barely comprehend three or four percent. ”

Zhu Di waved his hand: "Don't talk about these." ”

Zhang Anshi ran to the stern of the boat very interestingly, too lazy to serve, this old man is now more and more eccentric, and he can't afford to serve.

Two days later, the ship arrived at Jiujiang.

The caravan boarded the dock.

At the dock, there was a team of people patrolling and inspecting, and there was a lot of chaos at this time.

Zhang Anshi led the people ashore first.

Someone shouted: "Wherever there is a young man, he must build a railway, and there must be no mistake ......."

Several people swaggered in front of Zhang Anshi, and the first person pressed the knife, his eyebrows were angry, and he was full of murderous anger.

Zhang Anshi directly threw him a piece of silver: "Go away." ”

The man weighed his weight, his face was tight, he immediately grinned, and then said: "It turned out to be a businessman, the merchant is a foreigner, and his household registration is not in this mansion, so it's okay, please, please ......"

At that moment, Zhang An and others went ashore one after another.

Zhu Di's face turned pale, and he muttered: "My money!" ”

The inspectors said goodbye to Zhang Anshi and others, and the leader took Zhang Anshi's silver in his hand, and one of them trotted to catch up: "Boss, those people ...... As soon as I saw that my net worth was not expensive, I just took such a heavy gift, I think ...... Get them back, maybe ......"

I didn't finish saying this, but the meaning was already obvious.

"Bastard!" The leader shouted loudly and said angrily, "What do you think we are? We are officials, not robbers, do you think you are a water bandit in Poyang Lake? ”

The person who spoke was scolded with an embarrassed face.

The eyes of the leader flashed, and he continued: "The one who can be rewarded so easily must be a big businessman, in these years, which big businessman has no one behind him?" It's just that people don't want to trouble the people in the upper echelons, and they just take a little money to give the brothers a cup of tea, which can be regarded as spending a little money to eliminate the disaster. Do you really think that you can handle him with us? It's really anxious, to the point where the fish is dead and the net is broken, you and I don't know if these people are dead or alive. ”

"Ah...... I see. ”

The leader glared at him and said, "When doing such an errand, the most important thing is that your eyes should be bright, if you don't even have the slightest look, you won't know if you're really dead." ”

After this man said this, he pointed at another person and shouted: "Stop that person, that person looks like a water bandit in Poyang Lake!" ”

The Jiujiang River is a thoroughfare, close to the Yangtze River, connected to Poyang Lake, and a stone's throw away from Nanchang Province, which has been known for its thriving commerce since ancient times.

But when he entered Jiujiang City, what Zhu Di felt was Xiao Suo.

There was a bleak atmosphere, and there were few pedestrians on the street.

When people inquired, they said that there were thieves here, or that there were thieves everywhere. It is said that just a day ago, a thief had directly attacked the county seat.

But...... The only change in Jiujiang City is the construction of a station.

It's really built.

Zhu Di's face was ugly all the way.

However, in the local area, in fact, it is probably the same, bandits are the norm in this era, in history, during the Yongle period, the scale is larger, and the number of people is more than 10,000 people, there are dozens of times.

The momentum is huge, and it can even gather tens of thousands.

And this ...... It was already a relatively peaceful period in ancient times.

If it is in the middle and late dynasties, dozens of rebellions and civil uprisings every year are almost commonplace, and at the end of the year, if dozens of counties are not slaughtered, it can be regarded as a peaceful year.

This kind of thing, in the eyes of Zhang Anshi in his previous life, is simply incredible.

After all, his understanding of the prosperous era at that time was by no means like this.

But now Zhang Anshi has actually been paralyzed for a long time.

What is Shengshi? Prosperity is the opposite of troubled times!

In troubled times, ten rooms and nine emptiness, thousands of miles of red land, seventy or eighty percent of the population dies at every turn, and people are eaten by children.

And during this Yongle period, the people may only suffer once or twice in their lives, and suffer several natural disasters, isn't this a prosperous era?

Therefore, when I learned that there were thieves, no one was surprised at all, I just felt that it was too normal.

But the station was really built, but it still made Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi excited.

At that moment, under the guidance of one person, everyone came to a station without stopping.

Stand here and look at the lonely station in the distance. This station, from a distance, really looks like this.

So Zhu Di and Zhang Anshi walked closer with expectations.

I took a closer look, but I was shocked.

There is nothing left here except the station.

There was no railway, only a roadbed that stretched less than a hundred feet, and then ...... There is no then.

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhang Anshi said suspiciously: "Is this railway not yet paved?" It was paved from Nanchang Mansion? ”

Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy, but he only said, "Wait here." ”

"Your Majesty......"

Zhu Di said with a blue face: "Don't speak, wait a minute!" ”

Sure enough, after waiting for less than half an hour, a team of messengers came.

These officers obviously heard something and learned that a group of people had suddenly come to this station, which was very suspicious.

So he hurried over, and the first person waved an iron ruler and shouted: "What are you waiting ......for?"

Zhu Di stepped forward and raised his arm.

The leader of the errand leader had not yet reacted, but he only felt a flower in front of him, and the iron ruler in his hand subconsciously wanted to block.

But...... Fast, too fast.

saw Zhu Dipu's fan-like slap fall directly on his face.

The man's eyes were dark, his face seemed to have been hit hard, his body staggered, and with a bang, the man had fallen to the ground and passed out directly.

The officers behind were shocked and shouted, "It's a thief, it's a thief...... It's a real thief, run, run. ”

Zhu Di said sharply with a calm face: "Who dares to run one!" ”

The servants suddenly fell to the ground as if there were nails under their feet, and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Spare ...... life"

Zhu Di said: "I want to see the official, and you will lead me there." ”

One of the thin servants, who should be a scribe, was busy at this time: "Master thief, my county master is a rare good official, he never harms the people, his sleeves are clean, and the thief is ...... Just spare him. ”

Zhu Di was furious: "Come ......"

"Go, go." The scribe was refreshed: "The villain will bring all the thieves...... No, I'm taking you grandpa with you. ”

Zhu Di looked quite calm, but only he knew that he was dizzy at this time.

The strange situation he witnessed in front of him made him feel incredible.

Zhang Anshi was also confused, and quietly came to Zhu Di's face, wanting to say something, but felt that there was nothing to say, so he carried the back of the scribe and said, "Which yamen are you?" ”

The scribe said tremblingly: "Naidehua County County." ”

Dehua County is the place of government of Jiujiang Prefecture, and in later generations, because Fujian also has a Dehua County, the Dehua County of Jiujiang was changed to Jiujiang County.

Zhang Anshi asked again: "Who is your county commander?" ”

"The surname is Chen, and the name is in the industry."

It's not far from the county office, when a group of people appears.

Zhang Anshi glanced at the county official: "We are going to meet in the back office." ”

The scribe didn't dare to say much, so he obediently said to the messenger in front of the door: "This is here to pay homage to the master." ”

At that moment, he led Zhu Di and the others and went straight to the back office.

This route is almost unimpeded.

Obviously, this clerk should have some prestige in the county government.

Waited until the back office's house.

But I saw a man sitting in the hall, holding a book and reading.

The scribe shouted, "Master, someone ......."

The person in the hall is none other than the county commander Chen Jinye.

Chen Jinye was surprised at first when he saw someone rushing in, and then put down a book and shouted: "Who are you waiting for, dare to make a mistake!" ”

Zhang Anshi did not hesitate, and took the lead in stepping forward and arrived in front of Chen Jinye.

The rest of the people quickly dispersed and stood on guard around them.

Zhang Anshi took out a waist card from his sleeve and shook it in front of Chen Jingye.

When Chen Jingye saw it, he was shocked, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Chen Jingye, the lower official, I have seen ......"

He didn't know what to call it for a moment.

Zhu Di was already furious and shouted: "Is that Chen Jingye? ”

"Yes...... It's ......" Chen Jingye had already noticed Zhu Di's extraordinary, and hurriedly said: "I don't know if you are here from the capital, what is your business?" ”

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "Jiujiang Mansion has built a railway, why has not an inch of railway been repaired so far?" Where did all that silver go? ”

"This ...... This ......"

When Chen Jingye heard this, he immediately showed that his soul was not possessed.

He shuddered, and Ai Ai said in the later stage, "This ...... Xiaguan ...... Xiaguan ......"

Zhu Di laughed angrily: "Before and after, five million taels of silver, where did they go?" ”

As soon as Chen Jingye heard five million taels, he immediately understood something.

"Mo Fei, it's the ...... of Chengguo"

He looked at Zhu Di and remembered the rumor that Cheng Guogong was about to arrive in Nanchang Mansion.

I probably thought that Cheng Guogong should take the waterway, arrived at Jiujiang Mansion by waterway, and then went to Nanchang Mansion by land.

Thinking like this, he immediately said, "This ...... This...... Xiaguan District Qipin County Order, it is really ...... It's ......."

Zhu Di sneered and said: "What a mere seven-grade county order!" This station is in Er County, five million taels of silver, how many hands have you passed? How much did you take again? ”

Zhu Di's teeth were about to crush.

As he had expected, he felt ...... Even if it's five million taels, and Greedy Mo has gone two or three million taels, he can accept it.

But now it seems that things are clearly worse than expected.

When Chen Jinye heard this, his face turned pale with fright, and he immediately shouted loudly: "The lower official is wronged, the lower official is wronged!" The lower officials have a clean breeze on their sleeves, and they have never been greedy for ink, and the lower officials ......"

He was in a hurry to defend himself.

Zhang Anshi gave a look.

As a result, people began to search the house.

Immediately, Chen Daowen came in a hurry and said in a low voice: "I've checked, here...... There were only a few pieces of silver, and a lot of books, but nothing else. Oh, and there were some leftovers, and the man seemed to have eaten pickles and an egg drop soup at noon, and the rest was gone. ”

Zhang Anshi: "......"

Zhu Di just smiled contemptuously when he heard this, how could he believe these things, so he smiled even more calmly.

Chen Jinye cried and said: "The lower officials have always been like this since they came to office, if the upper officials don't believe it, they can be thoroughly investigated." Up and down the county, everyone knows that the lower officials are scholars, and they have no greed for ink. ”

Zhu Di said sharply: "I don't believe ......"

He said word by word, as if he didn't believe it in the slightest.

It seems that if he had not been tortured, he would not have confessed. Someone ...... coming."

Chen Jinye was so frightened that his soul was not possessed.

On the other hand, the scribe who led everyone to the side knelt down and cried: "The county lord is really a good official with clean sleeves!" Don't say that the life is simple on weekdays, that is, there are some money, and some of them are also taken out, and the servants who are under the head of Zhou Fu are said to be not easy for everyone to do errands, and I also know that the villains have no money and it is difficult to support their families, so I warned us not to blackmail the people because of this...... The villain dares to use the head as a guarantee. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di only felt that everything in front of him was like a joke, and it was not only the official in front of him who was funny, but also himself.

Zhang Anshi said coldly: "How much money has the county allocated for the construction of the railway?" ”

Without waiting for Chen Jinye to answer, the scribe said: "A total of 370,000 taels." ”

Zhu Di said angrily: "What about the silver? ”

"The railroad has been built." The scribe said.

Zhu Di's brain was buzzing, and he subconsciously said: "What about the railway?" ”

"The railroad hasn't been repaired yet."

"What about the money?"

"It's all spent." The scribe said.

Zhu Di: "......"

Zhang Anshi was on the side, kicked the clerk and said: "You dare not be honest, I only ask you, the railway has not been repaired, why is the money gone?" ”

The scribe hesitated for a moment before he said, "Shangguan doesn't know, this railway ...... Yes the road...... and the way shall be built on the earth, and this land shall ...... but for the people, they must buy the land before they can build it. ”

"Hundreds of thousands of taels, all of them were used to buy land?" Zhang Anshi looked at him coldly and said, "How much land did you buy?" ”

"It's not much, if another seven or eight hundred thousand taels are allocated, it should be enough for this land."

Zhang Anshi scolded angrily: "If you enter your mother, and allocate another seven or eight hundred thousand taels, I can buy half of your county's land!" ”
