Chen Anshang said in the voice of a male duck that the imperial court wanted the Zhejiang Salt Class to change back to the "Kaizhong Nano" used in Hongwu Nian, and he was puzzled, so he asked Zhang for advice.

Zhang asked that there is naturally a reason to change the above, as a perfunctory, although Chen Anshang looks ugly, he is also from a Jinshi, how can he not understand it at all? I don't know if this plucked monkey is pretending to be stupid, or testing me.

Chen An said: "If you want to change, why do you want to let us change it in Zhejiang?" Whether this method can work or not is another matter, can it be changed? ”

Zhang Wen muttered: "A man named Wild Boar Pi in the northeast has tens of thousands of troops to rebel, and the imperial court wants to use troops on a large scale, but the treasury is empty. Didn't you also say this, the elder of the first auxiliary cabinet transferred 500,000 taels from various ministries for military expenses, and wanted to raise enough 1 million taels to go to Liaodong for the new military of Chuanyun, and asked the emperor to open the internal funds to make up for it, but the internal funds were not sufficient. Our Zhejiang has always been the granary of the Ming Dynasty, and at this juncture of the great enemy, it is appropriate to make some contributions to quelling the chaos. ”

Chen Anshang was puzzled: "The reason is this principle, but private salt has always been difficult to prohibit, once the implementation of open nano, will lead to salt congestion, salt prices rise, under the huge profits, the sale of illegal salt is even more rushing, forbidden can't help it, such as what?" ”

Zhang Wen nodded, drew a circle on the paper in front of him, and asked, "Has anyone from the household department come down to supervise the salt change?" ”

"Lord Lang Zhongyang of the Household Department of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Department has gone to Zhejiang to supervise the grain transportation in Zhejiang, and Wang Huazhen, the head of the Household Department of the Zhejiang Qing Officials Division, has been transferred to Hangzhou...... In addition, Lord Zuo was promoted to Zhejiang Province to supervise the imperial history, and also went to Hangzhou. ”

While listening, Zhang Wen drew circles on the paper, drawing a total of three circles, and asked, "Has Lord Xiong Tingbi Xiong also come to Hangzhou?" ”

Chen Anshang was surprised: "Adults really don't know the world without going out of the study!" Lord Xiong was transferred from Nanzhili to Hangzhou to learn Taoism, and he also went from the capital to Hangzhou. ”

Zhang Wen drew another half circle, put down the brush, and stood up. Chen An hurriedly looked at the circles on the paper, and at some point, Zhang Wen turned around and said, "If Lord Chen is really interested in this, it will be three and a half circles...... No," Zhang Wen turned back and added half a circle, "Three circles, two and a half circles, hehe." ”

The work and rest time of the lifting department is the same as that of the county yamen, Zhang Wen stayed in the yamen until the unitary, signed the entries of each department, and then got off work.

As soon as Zhang Wen walked out of the yamen, he saw an acquaintance, Huang Renzhi. Huang Renzhi touched his beard, stood on the side of the street and waited for Zhang Wen to approach, then said with a smile: "Master Zhang, don't come unharmed." ”

"Haha, Huang Lao ......", Zhang Wen had a happy face, walked up quickly, and also made a gesture, and the two bowed to each other.

Huang Renzhi touched the beard on his chin and said with a smile: "How difficult it is to make a living, I don't know if adults still need the old man as a friend?" ”

Zhang Wen smiled and said, "I owe you the money, but I have already paid it off." With that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Huang Ren looked straight behind him, and the two young men in cyan straight clothes said, "My subordinates will meet your lordship." Huang Ren said straightly: "Miss Shen is afraid that the adults will not have anyone available in Hangzhou, and they will only obey the orders of the adults from now on." ”

Zhang Wen glanced at it, and the two young men in straight men's clothes were obviously women, so he smiled and said to Huang Renzhi: "This is not the place to talk, let's get in the car and talk." ”

Zhang Wen and Huang Renzhi were in the same car and sat opposite each other. Huang Renzhi is Shen Biyao's private person, and now Zhang Wen has vented from the same nostril as the Shen family, so there is no need to guard against Huang Renzhi as before.

Huang Ren touched his beard, and when he looked at Zhang Wen with cloudy eyes, a glimmer of light flashed, and then he laughed and teased: "The adult is pretending to be a faint official in Shangyu, but you can blind the old man." ”

Zhang Wen said with a shy face: "The situation is compelling, and I have no choice but to do it." But Mr. Huang was in Shangyu County at the beginning, which really benefited me a lot. Now I hope that Mr. Huang will ignore his past suspicions, and you and I will work together as before. ”

"Don't dare to instruct, the adults can use the old man to assist in checking and filling in the gaps, and the old man will receive some silver to buy wine, and he will be at ease."

Zhang Wen smiled and said: "Mr. Yaxing, the talent changes wine, and he is free and easy, which is admirable." As the poem says...... Peach blossom nunnery in Taohuawu, peach blossom fairy in peach blossom nunnery; The peach blossom fairy planted peach trees, and picked peach blossoms for wine money......"

In the middle of the city, the two gossiped to each other, and the carriage traveled west for a long time before stopping. Zhang Wen got out of the car, saw the West Lake first, his face was happy, and he turned around and said: "It's really a great pleasure to live here." ”

In the evening, the shore of the West Lake is full of traffic, scholars and women gather, singing like boiling, and lanterns are lit early, making people feel that night is coming. Its bustling hustle and bustle extends to the lake, and the lanterns on the boats are reflected in the water, like a thousand moons. Cruise ships have formed a huge industry, in Hangzhou, its scale is no worse than the restaurant, the prince of the prince Yashi loves to enjoy the lake.

This prosperous place, is the beauty of the clouds, not only the music talent to show up, the Ming Dynasty to the present, the atmosphere in the south of the Yangtze River has been very civilized, girls and daughters-in-law love to go shopping, especially in Hangzhou, but also the warbler Yanyan is dizzying. The imperial court's three and five orders to rectify the weathering were of no avail. With the unprecedented economic prosperity of the city of Daming, women did not stay in the boudoir at all, but participated in social interactions extensively.

The imperial court ordered: women are not allowed to buy fortune telling, don't listen to singing and telling, don't talk about scriptures, Mo Zhai monks eat food, Mo Xiu Temple builds towers, Mo temples burn incense, don't look at spring and see lights, don't see outsiders, don't go to banquets...... And so on, the decree is basically a dead letter, and women do not abide by anything, especially praying to God and worshiping Buddha, and chanting poems are the most popular.

Even the long-standing traditional dogma "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented" no longer exists here, and if a woman can't even read a word, her husband will not feel that it is virtue and that she is embarrassed in front of her friends.

A few people entered the gate of the house, this is a small courtyard with three entrances, the entrance hall is a unique ventilation open hall in Jiangnan, there is a patio in the courtyard, there are corridors on the left and right, and the eaves are wide, because it is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is "four rivers return to the hall".

The yard is not big, but Zhang Wen knows that this small yard, in this area, is worth more than 10,000 taels of silver. The Shen family allocated such a courtyard directly to Zhang Wen to live in, and the financial resources should not be underestimated. Zhang Wen looked at Huang Ren and said, "Miss Shen is such a generous gift, and I am a little embarrassed to give the house and give it to people." ”

Huang Renzhi touched his beard and smiled, noncommittal. A girl in white greeted the door of the moon cave door that entered the second and made a blessing, "The owner invites here, the slaves and maids have already prepared dinner, the owner wants to drink tea first, or will he eat now?" ”

The girl in white was originally called Zhen'er, and she changed her owner with Zhang Wen, so she changed her name, and Zhang Wen saw that this Jiangnan Spring was good, so she changed her name to light makeup, and responded to the sentence "Light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate".

Huang Ren hurriedly said: "The adults are here, so it is inconvenient for the old man to bother." ”

Zhang asked, "It's not that Mr. Neiko and Mr. don't know each other. When I was in Beijing, if it wasn't for Mr.'s recommendation, how could we have become such a good match? Speaking of which, Mr. Huang is still our matchmaker? What else is there to see here? ”

Huang Renzhi smiled and agreed.

Light makeup brought Zhang Wen and others into the second courtyard, the yard was full of peach trees, the forest path was full of fallen flowers, and the air was also raised, as beautiful as a fairyland on earth. This yard originally belonged to Shen Baguio, it seems that Shen Baguio is not an ordinary love of flowers, in the places where she lived, all of them were planted with flowers and trees.

Living in such an environment, Zhang Wen felt a little happy, although he was born in a landlord family, it was the first time to live such a luxurious life. These are easy to make people addicted and lose their fighting spirit, Zhang Wen couldn't help but remind himself. If you don't have authority, everything is a thing of the past.

Passing through a peach blossom forest, you will see a pond of lotus leaves, there is a small pavilion in the middle of the lotus pond, and there are several houses on the shore. After Zhang Wen approached, he saw that there were pavilions, Xie and open rooms in those rooms, and there were white cranes around, as well as chickens and ducks and other domestic animals.

The largest is an open room with plane trees in front and bamboo in the back. After Zhang Wen and Huang Ren went in, they took a look at this open room, which was naturally elegant. There are no walls in front and back, which is ventilated and convenient for viewing and listening to the piano.

The open room can not hang calligraphy and paintings, there is a large table in the middle, there is a long couch without a screen on both sides, and a large inkstone and a green water basin are placed on the wooden table. The north window has a Hunan bamboo collapse, which can be reclined high.

Zhang Wen and Huang Ren pushed straight and sat on the long collapse in the middle, and after a while, a few girls in white came over, lifted the Xiangzhu collapse of the north window, put it on the table and bench, and began to set the meal.
