Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Chunfu Case
The gate of Yongdu City was as prosperous as before, Jiang Cheng sat at a tea stall, and waited for a long time before waiting for He Zhifang and the others.
"Jiang Cheng, why are you faster than us?"
"My lord, in order not to delay the time, I ran the horses to death"
"You really are, waiting to lose money"
"Yes, my lord"
"You don't lack any money, go"
He Zhifang thought that Jiang Cheng was a person with industry, so he didn't care so much, so he entered Yongdu City together, went to the headquarters of Tsing Yiwei to make a handover, and then went home.
"Why did you drink it in broad daylight?"
As soon as I returned to Jiang's house, I saw Jiang Yong drinking wine there alone, his face flushed.
"Erlang, you're back"
"Is there anything to be happy about?"
"You can't drink something if you don't have something to be happy about, do you want to have something?"
"Don't, drink it yourself"
Jiang Cheng waved his hand, and then returned to his room, there was a layer of dust on the table, Jiang Cheng had instructed his subordinates not to go to his room to clean, it seemed that no one had come in.
After a brief wipe, Jiang Cheng took out a futon from under the bed, and then closed his eyes and carefully recalled the events of this trip, especially the immortal art and Xiao Tianxing Gong that Xue Qingqing got from there, this can't be mistaken, otherwise he will die.
"Second Brother"
I don't know how long it took, Jiang Wu's voice came from outside the door, and Jiang Cheng walked out.
"Big brother, what's the matter?"
"Looking for you to drink, can't come"
"Drink all the time today"
"Have you forgotten what day it is?"
"What day"
"Mother's death day is also your birthday"
"I'm sorry"
Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then said sorry, he really forgot, maybe this is what the original owner is most concerned about, but he is too busy.
"It's okay, come over and have a drink"
"Good"
Jiang Cheng nodded, and when he came to the living room, Jiang Yong was already drunk, and asked people to help him back to the room.
"There's a lot going on in Cheongju?"
"Yes, a lot"
Jiang Cheng replied, and then told the two months of the matter, hiding the part of Xue Qingqing and Xiao Tianxing.
"It's a pity that you didn't catch the wild immortals, otherwise you can ask the eldest prince for a place in the Immortal Pavilion."
"Ask the Immortal Pavilion is just like that, we were frightened by the Immortal Gate before, and now it seems that the strength of the Ask Immortal Pavilion is not much stronger than that of the martial artist."
"When you go out, your heart has become bigger, and the dozens of masters in the Immortal Pavilion are equivalent to innate martial artists, and the dean is even more stable than the great grandmaster martial artist."
Jiang Wu was a little surprised, he didn't know where Jiang Cheng got the confidence, and asked Immortal Pavilion Isn't it strong, is it strong, okay, they are enough to overwhelm the entire Great Wei Martial Artists.
"Yes, you're right"
"Second brother, you have such a big tone, what level of your martial arts are?"
"It's stronger than the average innate person, but it's not as good as the Great Grandmaster"
"This..."
Jiang Wu was speechless, there are only a few great masters, and there are not many people in Dawei, okay, except for the government, can you find two or three in the rivers and lakes?
"Don't just talk about me, how is Yongdu City in the past two months?"
"It's not good, in the two months you have been gone, several cases related to Chunfu have broken out in Yongdu City in a row, and the entire Yongdu is about to be overturned, and it is only these geniuses that have stabilized"
"Tell me about it"
"The first case of Chunqiu, and the case of the wild immortals in Qingzhou has a little bit to do with it, in the past two years, the Great Wei has not been peaceful, either the drought here, or the flood over there, or where there are locusts, some scholars wrote articles during the Spring Festival to scold Xianmen, saying that the immortals of Xianmen are corrupt and incompetent in various state capitals, and the drought is the rain for the wealthy families, and they sit back and watch the ordinary people suffer, and there is no harvest in many places, and a large number of refugees have appeared.
This case made Wen Xian Ge furious, and asked the Holy Lord to severely punish these scholars, but the ministers of the court and the central government jointly objected, and also asked the Wen Xian Pavilion to strengthen the restraint on the immortals.
Jiang Wu replied, Jiang Cheng was silent, it seems that the contradiction between Great Wei and Xianmen is all-round, not only the imperial Li family, but also ordinary people and the landlord class, who are already very dissatisfied with the oppression of Xianmen.
"In the second case of Chunfu, a conflict broke out between the disciples of the Ask Immortal Pavilion and the scholars of Nanzhou, and the scholars of Nanzhou were seriously injured, and the disciples of the Ask Immortal Pavilion were just locked up and confined after thinking about it behind closed doors, and Nanzhou was extremely dissatisfied, and the king of Zhennan was afraid that he would retaliate."
"King Zhennan, the king of Great Wei with a different surname?"
Jiang Cheng suddenly asked, Dawei has a different surname Wang, but the kind with real power.
This has to start with the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, the Li family of the Great Wei royal family was only a noble general in Daxuan, and he was considered a second-rate noble in Daxuan, and he was the first to take refuge in Xianmen to pick up a big bargain.
The Li family was the first to take refuge in Xianmen, but the rest of the nobles were not too slow, so at the beginning of the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, many nobles of the previous dynasty were named as the nobles of the Great Wei, among which there were seven kings with different surnames.
In the next twenty years, the remnants of the Great Xuan fought back, and these kings with different surnames also participated, so the Great Wei carried out cutting, suppressing, and purging, and almost cleaned out the ordinary nobles related to the previous dynasty, while the kings with different surnames changed from seven to three.
The three kings with different surnames are the king of Zhennan who guards Nanzhou, the king of Pingbei who guards Beizhou, and the king of Xiliang who guards Liangzhou, these three kings with different surnames have heavy troops, but they are also responsible for guarding the border passes, the king of Zhennan is responsible for resisting the barbarians and demons in the southern wilderness, the king of Pingbei is to deal with the Liao country north of Beizhou, and the king of Xiliang is to solve the Great Xia Kingdom west of Liangzhou.
The three kings with different surnames were also left by the Xianmen to restrain the Li clan of the Great Wei, and many of them joined the Xianmen, and they still bypassed the Immortal Pavilion at first.
"Yes, this generation of Zhennan King is old, and the prince has not returned to Yongdu for many years, and everyone thinks that the court is testing and wants to solve this vassal king."
"The three kings with different surnames seem to be honest."
"It's useless to be honest, as long as the three kings with different surnames are qualified to replace the Li family, the Li family will be uneasy"
Jiang Wu replied, what are the three kings with different surnames, the Li family does not value these, but values their ability to replace the Li family, because in this way, the Li family is not the only choice for the Xianmen.
This time, Chunqiu injured the case of Nanzhou Shizi, because the family behind this Shizi is the family of the confidant minister of King Zhennan, which is just a temptation.
"Go on, it won't be on these two cases."
"Not only that, there are fraud cases, after the imperial examination was announced, some scholars made a big fuss in Yongdu, threatening that someone was cheating, the reason is that many of the scholars who won the Jinshi this time are scholars from Jiangnan Sanzhou, and this time there are two Confucians who have come out of the examination questions in Jiangnan Sanzhou.
This matter has been going on for the longest time, and Xungui has continued to contribute behind the scenes, and in the end, although there is no evidence, the saint still dismissed the two great Confucians, which is a big blow to the civil officials."
"Is there anything else?"
"Isn't that enough? Do you know how big these three cases related to Chunqiu are in Yongdu City? ”
Jiang Wu rolled his eyes, is this younger brother of his own family afraid that the world will not be chaotic?
"Haha, just kidding, just kidding, don't get excited, what about you, how about these two months"
"I haven't touched these Chunfu cases, and I'm fine for the time being, but the people behind me have lost a lot, and this time the game in Chunfu is very intense."
"It's okay if you're fine, this time I saved Li Hongsleeve, and the people behind you will vigorously cultivate you in the future"
Jiang Cheng nodded, now he is better than Jiang Wu, the civil official system behind Jiang Wu is too complicated, and the person behind Jiang Cheng is very pure now, just one Li Hongsleeve.
"You can climb up on your own"
"No, it's better for the two brothers to be one bright and one dark, it's not a good thing to be sharp at the same time"
Jiang Cheng shook his head, he should be low-key or low-key, it was too high-profile for him to operate some things.
After chatting for a while, Jiang Cheng went out and went to Wansheng Building, Chen Chengyuan quickly came to Jiang Cheng to report the situation, the business of Wansheng Building in the past two months is even better, of course, there is also the reason for Chunqiu, according to the previous agreement with Jiang Cheng, he can get a reward of nearly two hundred taels of silver in these two months, plus the salary of the shopkeeper, the income has reached two hundred and fifty taels, which is the ceiling of Yongdu City.
However, Chen Chengyuan didn't leave a penny at all, he spent it all, and even advanced his salary for the next half a year, but it was all spent.
"Sir, do you think I'm doing the right thing?"
"You don't regret spending the money, do you?"
"Yes, that's the right thing to do"
"I'm here to give you a lesson today, a little bit of practice, I'm not here for two months, a lot of things have happened in Yongdu City, you write an experience, and use the theories I taught you to analyze"
"Yes, sir"
"Alright, that's it, go out, let the bookkeeper in"
"Yes"
Chen Chengyuan went out quickly, and then the account room came in, and Jiang Cheng took away his share of the silver, as well as the dividends of this month's green clothes.
An hour later, Green Yi hurriedly came to the cake room to meet Jiang Cheng, Jiang Cheng gave her dividends, and Green Yi also told Jiang Cheng about the eldest princess during this time, especially when it came to Jiang Cheng, and now the eldest princess is full of praise for Jiang Cheng.
"Sister Green, in another month, the first phase of the poverty alleviation plan for me and the eldest princess will be finalized, I hope my sister will help me, a few kind words"
"Fried chicken shop ready to open?"
"It was supposed to be a long time ago, isn't it a case in Cheongju that has been delayed, rest assured, what I promised my sister before is still valid"
Jiang Cheng replied, the poverty alleviation plan has been going on for more than two months now, and Huangzhuang should have raised chickens for more than two months, which is enough, the chickens used for fried chickens cannot be too old, two or three catties of chickens are enough, if they are raised to more than five or six catties, it will be too firewood, and it is not delicious to fry out, so about three months is enough, this is still the case of no feed and excellent breeders, if it is a modern society, it will not take so long.
Green Yi left happily, Jiang Cheng looked at Green Yi's back, it seemed that it was time to investigate Green Yi, she seemed to be very short of money, this is not right, her income will never be low, even if he is not here, other places have at least a hundred taels of silver every month.
