The Jiangnan Mission has one more interesting thing to do, chess.

Up to a few royal princes, down to the guards of the soldiers, they will all come to the next game when they are free.

Chess is not as good as Go, and it does not require much strength. If it's just for the sake of relieving boredom, you can do whatever you want.

This is naturally a better game for the average person. So the "generals" in the mission were for a long time.

Mo Li later pestered Chen Liu for a few days, fighting dozens of rounds, but he still didn't play Chen Liu, and almost lost his temper.

In the end, she can only decide to fight again in the future, and she will definitely find a chance to be ashamed.

"Rare guest, have you been doing well these days?"

Youlan was a little surprised to see that Chen Liu had come to them.

She took advantage of chatting with Chen Liu, and by the way, changed some positions of the chess pieces on the chessboard on the table.

Bai Jiu shook his head and laughed, and finally decided to follow his senior sister's wishes and shouted:

"General. Senior sister, you lost again."

"No, this game doesn't count. I've just cheated on it, and I'll do it all over again."

Neither of the two men expected Youlan to be so straightforward and so reasonable.

No, it's not straight, and it's strong.

So, under the guidance of Chen Liu, Bai Jiu quietly gave up a few steps and lost to Youlan, before announcing the end of today's game.

"What did you come to us for?"

"Yesterday, the next step in my assessment is here again."

Yesterday night, the pole batter sent a golden pole to the mission, bringing the next instructions of the commander.

When Mo Mei left, she should have already explained.

This time, the request is more special, which is to let Chen Liu make money. For ten days, he earned enough 100,000 taels of silver on his own.

In Jiangning City, that is, the central city of the Jianghuai region.

Fengshuai will provide a small shop and a start-up capital of 100 taels. The industry is chosen by Chen Liu, but acquaintances are not allowed to help.

This kind of task of having a hammer in the east and a stick in the west really gave Chen Liu a headache.

He couldn't figure out what kind of plans and arrangements Feng Shuai had.

"Anyway, you have a lot of weird things in your head, so it shouldn't be too difficult to earn 100,000 taels, right?"

"There are some methods, but they are basically written in the Daliang Criminal Law."

After Chen Liu got the one million taels, he completely broke away from the lives of ordinary people, but he still knew the prices and the living conditions of ordinary people.

100,000 taels of silver is not a small amount.

If this is given to an ordinary family, it will not be spent in a hundred lifetimes.

Even if it is the sentence of three years of Qing Governor's Mansion and 100,000 snowflakes of silver, you have to save for ten years!

Of course, he has some ways to make money quickly, but in addition to crimes such as robbing homes and houses, human trafficking, etc., it is a government-run industry.

In addition to the things written on the answer sheet of the township examination and the meeting, he will also have some other methods.

It's just that the official camp has said it all.

If someone is really caught smuggling salt and iron, exile for 3,000 li is considered light.

In addition, where is the time for him to prepare. It costs 100,000 taels in ten days, and I can probably only go to grab money.

"Then it's useless for you to look for us. We're not going to make any money."

Bai Jiu wondered.

"I think I'd better tie up the ticket. I tied up my sister and sent a letter to the Supervisor asking for ransom."

"The little thing has a lot of ideas, can you beat me?"

Youlan looked at Chen Liu with a smile on her face, her eyes full of banter.

Chen Liu ignored it and asked Bai Jiu:

"How? Do you want to do it? Twenty-eight of the prisoner's money?"

Bai Jiu said casually:

"I think you can consider it. I'm just afraid that Master won't give him ten taels of silver, so you will tear up the ticket."

"That's a real problem."

Youlan was a little funny, holding Bai Jiu's ear with one hand,

kicked at Chen Liu again and said:

"Are you two really thinking about it?"

It's a fight, of course, but it's not all there.

Feng Shuai does not have reasonable and legal requirements, as long as he thinks of ideas, there are no taboos.

Whether it is killing people and selling goods, or abducting and deceiving, the law of Daliang can be put aside.

Feng Shuai even promised that if he was caught, he would be fished out regardless of whether the goal was reached or not.

The matter of blackmailing the prison is still written down by Feng Shuai, and it is a regular method.

Of course, Feng Shuai said that there were no taboos, and Chen Liu still did something and didn't do something.

After all, this first thought received a heavy blow from the party who was kidnapped.

"Forget it by fooling."

Chen Liu came to a conclusion.

The task is difficult, but there are still methods.

How to operate, I had to go to Jiangning to make plans.

"Have you been busy all the way?"

After Youlan glanced at Chen Liu, she replied:

"Who has gotten into Her Highness the Princess's carriage like you? Gentle country is comfortable...... We will not enter Jiangning, but will go to other places in Jianghuai with officials from the Ministry of Industry to inspect and supervise."

Although Jiangning is an important town in Jianghuai and the focus of the Jianghuai trip, other regions are not left alone.

The forces of all parties in Jiangning are intertwined, and it is really difficult to start.

The crown prince dispersed the officials of the six ministries and scattered them to various places in Jianghuai to supervise the situation of agriculture and mulberry and the governance of local officials.

The royal family, the Ministry of Rites, and the Guards went directly to Jiangning to meet with the King of Huainan.

"Suddenly there's no one available, woohoo."

The departure of Bai Jiu and Youlan meant that Chen Liu probably needed to fight alone.

Jianghuai is obviously unfamiliar with Chen Liu, and everything can only be explored by himself.

Chen Liu only said to them in the end:

"If you need any help, feel free to send me a message." Z.br>

"Okay."

Jiangning City is the largest city in Jianghuai and even the entire south of the Yangtze River.

The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties has more charm than back then.

The rivers meet, the Purple Mountain falls, the Vermilion Bird Bridge is fragrant, and the Wuyi Lane has more sunshine.

The historical background is not far behind even compared with Chang'an, Kyoto, and Luoyang, the eastern capital. If it is compared to the commercial economy, it is especially victorious.

The core of Jiangnan's economy and trade lies in Jiangning.

Daliang is taxed, 67 out of 10 comes from Jiangnan, Jiangnan is taxed, 67 out of 10 is from Jianghuai, Jianghuai is taxed, 67 out of 10 is from Jiangning.

Although there are many commercial capitals in the world, there are few cities that can be compared with Jiangning in today's Daliang.

Such an important place and complex business exchanges, coupled with the existence of the king of Huainan, so the local chief official was not a governor, but Yu Shutang, the governor of Jiangnan sent by the imperial court.

He is not very old, he is middle-aged, and he can be regarded as in the prime of life.

This governor of Jiangnan was also quite trusted, overseeing the government affairs and finances of Jiangning and the surrounding areas, and able to control the army.

In the official system of the Great Liang, the grade of a product is more of a symbol of status and reputation, and has no practical significance.

In terms of civil officials, chief scholars such as Wenhua Hall and Wenyuan Pavilion can be awarded the rank of first rank, and military generals can be awarded the rank of first rank when they worship the general.

As for the hierarchy of the cabinet, it is very confusing.

The position and power of the cabinet elders depended more on the trust of His Majesty the Emperor.

Six products are the bottom, and there is no cap on the top.

There was once a six-grade doctor of Taixue who entered the cabinet, and the highest was the highest rank of military general who had only been given a foreign surname in the history of Daliang: Admiral Tiance!

Yu Shutang's identity position, if it is in Kyoto, it must be able to enter the cabinet.

He didn't prepare too much to prepare, and he was relatively simple.

In addition to the dismissal of the idle personnel, only a few lieutenants from the Governor's Mansion were brought in.

"Lord Yu."

"His Royal Highness the Prince."

Li Wan was quite satisfied with the governor of Jiangnan.

It's just that he's a bit of a shaft.

There is absolutely no problem with his ability to become the sixth Shangshu, and even Yu Hai Shoufu has asked him if he is interested in entering the cabinet, and he has the idea of cultivating him to become the next Shousuke.

It's just that he is a little jealous and hateful, even more ugly than those mouthful officials in the Imperial Tower.

This naturally led to his not getting along well with most of the Beijing officials, and even Yu Hai Shoufu was glared at by his angry beard.

If it weren't for the fact that he was really honest and honest, and his ability was indeed outstanding, he would have been given a chance to be impeached a long time ago.

His Majesty the Emperor was helpless back then, so he sent him to Jianghuai, intending to sharpen his temperament first.

It's true that the temperament has worn out a little, but it's still true.

His political achievements are good, and his reputation is even greater, but few people are willing to work under him.

In short, there is more money to do, and there is only enough food for three meals.

The only thing that everyone is willing to endure is: but all the officials who have been sharpened under Yu Shutang will be trained by the officials.

Although Yu Shutang himself is no longer a Beijing official, he is known as the cultivator of the central official of the imperial court, and is even nicknamed the "Little Officials".

"It's not easy for this palace to come here, so don't you invite you to dinner?"

"There is pearl jade and white jade soup at home, what does Your Highness think?"

"Gnawing on cabbage berries again?"

Li Wan went to the mansion of Yu Shutang, who was still a Beijing official at the time, and ate this pearl jade white jade soup, that is, stewed tofu with cabbage and bangzi.

"Why don't Your Highness bring some meat?"

Yu Shutang didn't seem to have any difference between a monarch and a minister, so he ridiculed Li Wan so bluntly.

The prince didn't mind, laughed a few times, pointed at him and said:

"Lord Yu, Lord Yu, you really haven't changed at all."

Yu Shutang arched his hand and smiled without replying.

After that, the prince really didn't go directly to the Huainan Palace, but went to Yu Shutang's private house and brought half a fan of pork.

Except for the swordsman, the others parted at the gates.

The officials of the six divisions and the warlocks of the Qin Heavenly Supervisor scattered and went to other Jianghuai districts.

The Eighth Prince, King Xiang, Li Dicheng, Mo Li and others were escorted by the forbidden army into Jiangning City.

"Then Lord Yu Shutang has a good relationship with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

Chen Liu sat on the frame of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and was a little interested in this place.

I have never seen such a good friend of the crown prince.

If other officials saw their relationship, they would probably be shocked.

Chen Liu felt that it was a bit delicate to let go of King Huainan at this time and go to Yu Shutang's private residence.

"yes. The royal brother and Lord Yu are considered to be from the same family, and they are together to learn from the former great sacrificial wine of the country's prince and eunuch, and Fu Ang."

After Mo Li also met with Yu Shutang, he came back and heard Chen Liu talking to himself, so he casually gave him an answer.

"I see."

Chen Liu then hurriedly helped Her Royal Highness the princess onto the carriage and entered the Jiangning City with the large team.

They did not need the local government to prepare another palace for this trip, but the king of Huainan was personally responsible.

Originally, the King of Huainan planned to directly connect everyone to the Huainan Palace, but after thinking about it, he gave a mansion in the Jiangnan Garden to house the Jiangnan Mission.

Chen Liu also lived in this Fengzhuo Garden, which covers an area of 2,000 acres.
