Chapter 583: There are masters in Datong
"It's interesting, there is even a windfall." Zhu Han looked at the beating report sent by Jinyiwei and teased with a smile.
No one thought that an old monk who looked kind and kind would be a martial arts master.
And he is not an ordinary martial arts master, he is a spy who can send the kind of anti-thief of the White Lotus Sect to Datong Mansion undercover, and a master who kills in seconds.
"What do you think?" Zhu Han tilted his head and looked at Liu Shenhong beside him: "Is there a problem with this old monk?" ”
Liu Shenhong was entangled as if he had swallowed a sour orange: "Lord Wang, I don't know about this." ”
"Deng Yun said that Gao Fei felt that Abbot Huici should have nothing to do with the White Lotus Sect, otherwise there was no need for him to expose himself at this time."
"It's just...... Whether this is their bitter ploy or not, we have no way of confirming. ”
After hesitating for a moment, Liu Shenhong proposed: "Why don't we lock it up first?" Wait for the matter of the White Lotus Sect to be over, and then release the people? ”
The more Liu Shenhong spoke, the quieter his voice became, and it was obvious that even he felt that this proposal was very unreliable.
Hui Ci is not an ordinary monk, his prestige is quite high in Datong Mansion.
Even if there is such a thing as a fake stone Buddha, there are still many believers who believe in Hui Ci.
When Jinyiwei arrested people, many people were begging bitterly, hoping that Jinyiwei could release them.
If it weren't for the wind and rain to come forward and repeatedly protect those people, Jinyiwei would definitely not hurt Abbot Huici, and Jinyiwei wanted to take away the monks of Ci'en Temple, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy.
It's a bit unreasonable to catch such a person for no reason and keep him in custody without incriminating evidence.
It's just normal times, and now the situation in Datong Mansion is already very tense.
If this kind of thing happens again, it is easy to cause suspicion, which will only make Datong Mansion more and more chaotic.
Zhu Han pinched his eyebrows vigorously: "This old monk is really not easy to deal with." ”
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Han still decided to release him.
Hearing his prince's decision, Liu Chunheng suddenly said worriedly: "But Lord Wang, Huici's identity is suspicious, if he really has anything to do with the White Lotus Sect, wouldn't it be a tiger to return to the mountain by letting him out?" ”
Zhu Han gave him another roll of the eyes: "This king just said that you should let you go, but he didn't say that he would not care about anything after he released people." ”
"Before releasing people, give me a clear investigation of all the monks in this Temple of Mercy and Grace, especially in the last five years, no matter who they come into contact with or what they do, we must have a clear grasp."
"And this old monk, no matter what he did before, check it out to this king."
"If there are no problems with the investigation, then release them."
"And even if you let it go, you can't think that there is nothing left, but you still have to send someone to keep a firm watch over the Temple of Mercy and Grace for me, so as not to have any accidents, understand?"
Liu Shenhong suddenly realized, and hurriedly patted his ass and said: "Lord Wang is wise, why didn't I think of such a simple thing?" ”
Zhu Han was about to kick: "Did you not expect that?" Don't think that this king can't guess your little thoughts, and if you are playing with this king, I will let you repair the city wall. ”
With the exact order, Jin Yiwei can also work freely.
Although they were not locals of Datong Mansion, with the help of local headhunters, they quickly found out the origin of these monks.
Most of the monks at the temple are ordinary local monks.
Before becoming a monk, they were all locals, so it was very easy to investigate.
Basically, it didn't take much to find out their origins.
A small number of monks who place orders are also official monks with degrees, as long as they follow the map.
However, there are also some people here who are neither local nor local, so it is more troublesome to investigate.
Of course, these people are not a big problem, because they are not official monks, and their status is not particularly high.
So you can temporarily detain it for the first time and investigate it slowly.
And when Jin Yiwei was investigating, there were some unexpected gains.
Unexpectedly, among those people, another spy of the White Lotus Sect was found.
It's a pity that the status of this spy is too low, and he knows very little news.
What he knew, so did Jiming.
"The noses of those puppies of Jinyiwei are very smart, and they found a dark line so quickly." Tang Wenlu gritted his teeth and cursed.
But he explained to Chen Xueying with a smile: "But please don't worry, you don't worry, we were going to give up that dark line." ”
"So we have cut off all contact with them in time, and even if everyone on that line is caught, we will definitely not be able to sign a contract."
Chen Xueying bowed slightly: "I have always been relieved of your affairs." ”
"By the way, Zhu Yuanzhang has no news over there?"
Tang Wenlu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Please also ask the prince to forgive me, the minister is already working hard to investigate, but there is still no news of Zhu Yuanzhang." ”
"In order to avoid being discovered by the dog court, we don't dare to move too much."
"It doesn't matter! Confidentiality is the first priority, and then it is enough to go all out to investigate. ”
"Whether you can find Zhu Yuanzhang's whereabouts depends on the will of God." But then Chen Xueying said: "But I need everyone to do their best to do it if they can." ”
"If I let me know that someone is trying to fish in troubled waters, I will make him regret being born in this world."
When saying these words, Chen Xueying didn't look at Tang Wenlu.
But Tang Wenlu felt a chill all over his body, and couldn't help swallowing his saliva, feeling that his neck was cold.
He didn't want to waste too much time on Zhu Yuanzhang, although he had been doing it according to Chen Xueying's orders, he didn't mean to disobey the yang.
But after all, he didn't do his best, but he didn't expect his careful thoughts to be seen by Chen Xueying.
Frightened, he hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The minister must do his best not to disappoint the prince." ”
Chen Xueying stared at Tang Wenlu for a long time, then waved his hand and said, "You don't have to be like this, this king just hopes that you will take this matter to heart, just don't be careless, get up." ”
said that he didn't have to care, but he still let Tang Wenlu kneel for a long time, and Chen Xueying's meaning was undoubtedly revealed.
After being warned like this, Tang Wenlu didn't dare to be careless anymore, and hurriedly urged his subordinates to search for Zhu Yuanzhang's whereabouts.
In the south of Datong Prefecture, the most people gathered here are merchants.
As a result, even in the midst of the drought, it seems to be exceptionally prosperous and unaffected by the drought.
Only from the high prices of the goods sold in the surrounding shops, you can see that the current situation is indeed not particularly good.
But for these merchants, even the highest price is nothing.
In the aftermath of the drought, not only have food prices been rising, but the prices of other daily necessities have also remained high.
It's just that under the deliberate guidance of sweating, the price of those things is far less outrageous than the price of food.
As a time-traveler in later generations, Zhu Han understands very well that some things cannot be suppressed by suppression alone.
Determining the price of a commodity is never the true value of the commodity, but the demand of the market.
Even a rag can easily sell gold where it is needed most.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the current Ming Dynasty is still a small-scale peasant economy in the traditional feudal dynasty.
For ordinary farmers, most of the goods can be self-sufficient, and the demand for goods circulation is not so great.
And the big consumers are basically businessmen, and businessmen are not short of money.
This also leads to the fact that the higher the price of goods, the more merchants come to sell goods, and the more people there are, the more things they buy, which promotes economic development to a certain extent.
Of course, this kind of deformed development cannot last long, and Zhu Han has never relaxed his supervision here.
As soon as the drought passes, he will immediately find a way to stop this false prosperity, return prices to normal as soon as possible, and prevent the bubble from bursting and causing even more harm.
At this time, in an ordinary house in Nancheng, several obese middle-aged people in luxurious clothes were ushered in.
If anyone you know sees these people, you will definitely be shocked and can't close your mouth.
Because these people are almost all the characters who are calling for wind and rain in Datong Mansion now.
Among them were grain merchants, cloth merchants, and a person who started by selling groceries and looked a little thin and hurtful, this person's name was Ma Fu, and his grocery stores were all over Datong Mansion.
Originally, his business was only mediocre, but he took advantage of the drought in Datong Mansion to make a lot of money, and suddenly became a famous businessman.
And these businessmen were extremely respectful to the middle one.
If Zhu Han was here, he would be able to recognize that person at a glance, it was because he contracted the Yanjing project, and then accidentally got the formula of heart cement, and then started with the help of patent law.
At this time, Zhang Fengnian looks much richer than before, and it is obvious that he is living a very good life now.
As one of the few official Liang merchants who were able to directly traffic grain from other places to Datong Province.
The businessmen around him were very respectful to Zhang Fengnian, and they could see that they were full of flattery when they spoke.
"Boss Zhang, this Taoist chief is definitely an incredible master, as long as we have his guidance, our business can go to the next level."
"We know that Boss Zhang, you are a person with good hands and eyes, but in front of this Dao Master, let's not go too far, we need to be better."
The euphemism of the words is actually to remind Zhang Fengnian not to be too embarrassed in front of this person.
Zhang Fengnian smiled: "Thank you Boss Ma for reminding me that Zhang is here to humbly ask for advice this time, and it will definitely not make it difficult for you." ”
Although the current worth is not the same as in the past, the combined net worth of these businessmen present is probably not as rich as Zhang Fengnian's family assets.
But in front of these people, Zhang Fengnian did not have the slightest pride.
On the contrary, he behaved very kindly, as if he was close friends with these people.
Doing business pays attention to a harmonious way to make money, and Zhang Fengnian is obviously well versed in this.
"If you can bring me to meet this master, it can be seen that you regard me as your own. Zhang is grateful, if you need Zhang's help in the future, please feel free to speak. ”
"As long as Zhang can do it, he will never refuse."
When the surrounding merchants heard his words, they all burst out laughing.
"I can't say that I have to trouble Boss Zhang in the future."
"Our business is also bothering, Boss Zhang, you take care of it a lot."
These people are like Spiegel in their hearts, everyone is talking about the scene, and no one has to take it seriously.
Zhang Fengnian's words were sincere, but as long as he thought about it, he could understand the key.
He has set a premise for these people, that is, he can do it.
The elasticity of this commitment can be significant.
Maybe you ask him to borrow tens of thousands of taels of silver, and it won't be a big problem.
After all, for the current Zhang Fengnian, this little money is really nothing.
It's not like when they contracted the imperial court project in Yanjing before, tens of thousands of taels of silver had to be painstakingly scraped together.
But then again, if Zhang Fengnian doesn't want to help, even if he puts ten taels of silver, he can say that it is inconvenient now, and he can't help.
And what those businessmen say about taking care of them is actually just normal business dealings.
It's just that these are all eight-sided people, and even very ordinary things can be said very warmly.
When everyone came to the door of the house, Ma Fu was the first to step forward and knock softly on the gate of the courtyard.
Bang bang bang!
After the unhurried knock on the door, Ma Fu put down the knocker and waited patiently.
After a dozen breaths, there was a lazy voice inside, impatiently remembering, "Who?" ”
Ma Fu respectfully clenched his fists and said loudly to the people inside: "Under Ma Fu, come and meet Chongyunzi Dao Chief." ”
Soon, there was a sound of pulling the deadbolt from behind the door, and with a creak, the wooden door was slowly opened.
Out of it came a boy of about fourteen or fifteen years old, but with a proud face
This person loses a pair of double buns, and there is a red dot on the center of his eyebrows.
Although the dress is not luxurious, it gives people the feeling of being a master of cultivation.
In the face of this young child, Ma Fu really didn't dare to be a little slack.
Respectfully sent his own post: "Contemptible Ma Fu, I came to meet the Taoist of Chongyunzi today, and I also ask the little master to convey one or two." ”
After finishing speaking, he quietly handed a piece of silver to the little Taoist boy.
Although their movements were relatively secretive, Zhang Fengnian still watched it right.
Although it was only a flash of time, looking at the size of the piece of silver, it was at least about five yuan.
This surprised Zhang Fengnian.
Ma Fu, Zhang Fengnian also knows better.
One of the biggest characteristics of this person is that he picks on the door, and he is not even willing to light candles at home on weekdays.
Among the group that brought him today, only Ma Fu was the most shabby.
Although compared to ordinary people, his clothes are already quite luxurious.
But if you look closely, you will find that the clothes have patches in several places, and even the washed ones have faded.
Even so, the other party did not change into new clothes, which shows how stingy this person is.
But such a stingy person, just by rewarding a little Taoist boy who opened the door, he actually gave five dollars of silver.
