I have to say that the Grand Canal built by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, as well as the Grand Canal that was later expanded, are indeed a great achievement!

With the water network extending in all directions in the south of the Yangtze River, from Beijing to Hangzhou Bay, all the way is unimpeded!

In the evening, Song Zhe's boat caught up.

Just about to report the news, Wang Li pointed to the post station on the shore: "Isn't the post station abolished?" Why is there a caravanserai here? ”

"Factory father, long live the lord, considering the opposition of the officials in the DPRK and China, did not cut them all. You, don't know? ”

Wang Li shook his head.

I don't know, I really don't know!

Actually, Zhu Youzhen is very careful!

Just like the pilot collection of commercial tax, there are only about 30 post stations in the first batch of abolition.

These post stations, mainly in the sparsely populated north, are almost all north of the Great Wall.

In those places, very few officials pass by.

Even if they were all laid off, they would not be met with fierce opposition.

As for Kannai, cut slowly!

This month, Shanxi will cut one or two, and there will not be many opposing voices;

Next month, Shaanxi will cut one or two more, and there will not be many voices of opposition.

It's like a "boiled frog in warm water"!

Slowly cut it little by little until it's all cut off!

It seems that Zhu Youzhen is really cunning!

When dealing with him, you have to be very careful!

Perhaps, if you are not careful, your neck hurts, and your head will be gone!

I'll go!

Chen Wangting!

Why are you here?

"Factory father! I've been waiting for you for three days!

The information you provided was very accurate! Liu Tingchen is indeed corrupt!

The amount that has been found is 70,000 taels, and the evidence is conclusive!

I took all the twenty-seven people related to it! Shut up in the back stable! ”

I'll go!

Took them all?

Good for you Chen Wangting!

With only about 100 people, he dared to take people from thousands of miles!

Or the younger brother of the military department!

I want this kind of person in the West Factory!

Dare to take people, can take people, and recklessly!

Merely...... A strong dragon can't suppress the head snake!

I only ask you to check the evidence of his corruption, and then consider whether to take someone!

And you, just take people?

Isn't it a good thing to do me?

"When you take people, no one really stops you? His brother didn't stop you either? ”

"After splitting two seven-rank petty officials, no one dares to make trouble!

Moreover, his brother who is still the secretary of the military department didn't dare to put a fart!

From Fujian to Xiaoshan, chase me all the way to stuff silver! ”

"Huh? Stuffed with silver? How much silver? ”

"Uh...... Didn't pay attention...... A large stack of silver tickets, all returned to him! ”

Withdrawn?

I'll go! Is there any mistake?

Sure enough, it's a martial artist, and his intestines are straight!

No, you're not a martial artist!

Look at the way you eat, what is the difference between you and the bandit mountain king!

Even if you wear this flying fish suit, you are still a mountain king!

"Hehe, Brother Chen, you are much more handsome than before when you wear this dress! It looks like it's even stronger! ”

Wang Li said the opposite, but Chen Wangting didn't hear it!

This guy, put down the wine bowl, stood up, tidied up his robe, and then touched his lower abdomen, enjoying his face.

"Hey, hey! Don't hide it from the factory, although I have been running around during this time, I have gained more than a dozen pounds! ”

"I'll go! You're a pig! Even if you eat meat every day, you don't grow as fast! ”

"Factory father, we don't eat meat every day, but eat meat every meal!"

Chen Wangting laughed and took out a large bag of post talismans, which were three or four hundred.

The post talisman is a voucher made of silk cloth, a pass to enter and exit the post station, and Wang Li saw it for the first time.

Last time, I went out with Zhu You to inspect and eat and drink at Yangyuan Station for seven or eight days, and no one checked the post talisman and Kanhe documents!

A document is an official document of where an official departs from and where he goes;

Only officials who hold post charms and documents can enjoy free accommodation, food, and transfer services at the post stations that must be passed between the two places.

The post talisman and privately engraved seal presented by Chen Wangting are one of the evidence of Liu Tingchen's corruption.

With this article alone, he can be sentenced to a family raid!

It's just that Chen Wangting and more than 100 Jinyi guards set off from Beijing to Fujian, and then from Fujian to Xiaoshan, just "brushing their faces" along the way, and they ate and took it at the post station!

Free big wine and meat, delicious and delicious, this guy is enjoying it very much!

No wonder he has gained more than a dozen pounds of meat!

It seems that the "last straw that crushed the Ming Dynasty" really deserves its name!

Officials oppose the abolition of the post station, and there is a reason for it!

However, Zhu Youzhen thought too simply!

Even if he lays off all the post stations, the saved funds will not reach the hands of the imperial court!

The corruption of officials at all levels is beyond everyone's imagination!

Don't say anything else, just like this Chen Wangting!

You mountain king, what are you pretending to be high?

You "brush your face" at the post station and eat and drink, isn't it corruption?

However, then again, eating something at the post station and taking a few dozen taels of silver to make a coil is indeed not corruption!

If you are greedy for hundreds of thousands of taels, it can only be regarded as a beginner!

It's okay, it's okay!

This guy knows that he is "brushing his face for consumption" at the post station, which means that he is about to go on the road!

Right now, since the person has taken it and the silver ticket has been refunded, it has to be done officially!

"Li Gao! Liu Tingchen, director of the Fujian Ordnance Bureau, and the corruption of relevant personnel, quickly reported to the Long Live Lord! ”

"No!"

"Li Dong, escort these twenty-seven people back to Beijing! As long as there is no chaos on the road, you can upgrade the brocade clothes to "100 households"! Got it? ”

"Thank you for the cultivation! The subordinates will not be dishonored! ”

"Go, go!"

Wang Li nodded with satisfaction, looked Chen Wangting up and down, and said with a smile: "Brother Chen, let's go to the Ordnance Bureau to get people, in fact, it is not the main purpose!"

It is a big deal to have a reliable person in charge of the Ordnance Bureau and provide reliable ordnance support for Inspector Yuan! Got it? ”

"Don't worry! Whoever dares to engage in corruption in the Ordnance Bureau, I will take one when I see one! ”

"Good, good, good! Take it slowly! ”

Wang Li applauded, but scolded in his heart.

No way, summer insects can't be compared to Yu Bing!

This guy is only suitable for rough work!

On the river, the big boat escorting the suspect left, Wang Li smiled indifferently and called Song Zhe.

"Take fifty people and follow behind Li Dong!

If anyone dares to rob a prisoner, whoever it is, they will take it! Are you sure? ”

"Don't worry! No one dares to rob prisoners in the hands of the West Factory! ”

Song Zhe set off with confidence.

Before leaving, he handed over a stack of materials.

After flipping through a few pages, Wang Li's heart, wow cool, wow cool!

Judging from the information he investigated, it is not realistic to want to make money from the Qinglou!

The government-run "Teaching Workshop Division" naturally did not dare to start.

Although there are many private green houses, the source of every private prostitute is legal, and there is a deed of sale as evidence!

In addition, the government is also "intermittently managed": every girl has registered a "music registration", and the government taxes it with a "music registration"!

If there is the slightest violation, the local government will already take action, and it will not be their turn at all!

The most exaggerated thing is that the green buildings on both sides of the Qinhuai River were ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang to be added!

The purpose is to increase tax revenue!

Knowing the inside story of the Qinglou, Wang Li was a little uneasy.

Just like in Zuichun Building, she rewarded Zhao Qian with five hundred taels of silver, and she could only get fifteen taels!

Nima!

97% rake!

It's just against the sky!

By the time she scraped together enough three thousand taels of silver to redeem herself, she had already earned more than 100,000 yuan for the bustard!

The key is that the value of each concubine is set by the bustard himself!

Even the local government has no right to ask!

Well!

That's a good way to go!

Open the green building!

Become a big brand of national chains!

Hey!

"It's not that easy! Without the support of the Oiran, the bustard would not have made much money;

However, if you want to raise an Oiran, the amount of silver required is astronomical!

The little maid is actually very stupid, she can only stroke the piano, and her worth is only worth three thousand taels;

Just like Zhen Yao of Meixianglou, she is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing, and reciting poetry, so she is worth 50,000 taels;

In fact, it took the old bustard ten years to train her, and the silver spent on her was not less than five hundred taels! ”

I'll go!

The more Zhao Qian persuaded her, the more Wang Li wanted to open a green building!

Even if you spend 2,000 taels of silver to cultivate an Oiran and sell it for 50,000 taels, you will still make money by blood!

If you cultivate a hundred or so Oiran, it will be five million taels of silver!

Cut!

What else do you do?

Can you make money by raising your head?

Wang Li was eager to try, and Zhao Qian poured cold water again: "Factory father, do you know something:

In the past 20 years, Mei Xianglou has cultivated more than 100 girls!

Only Zhen Yao was the only one who made the top card of Qinhuaihe.

If it weren't for her, Mei Xianglou wouldn't have survived for a few years! ”

"Really?"

"The little maid doesn't dare to deceive! It's really not easy to cultivate an Oiran! What a gamble! ”

Oh, gamble!

Wang Li smiled faintly, this word is not used appropriately!

It should be said that "look at the face"!

Or "cast a wide net"!

Indeed, very few Qinglou dare to buy Oiran directly, they are all cultivated by themselves!

Just like Yang Ai, who was snatched away by Yixianglou!

If the old bustard looks away, she will really lose!

An eight- or nine-year-old baby is bought at a price of about fifty to two hundred taels.

However, they must find the best teachers for their clothing, food, housing, transportation, gestures, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry, song and dance, and even the art of war and swordsmanship!

It should be cultivated in the way of a family girl!

The price is really expensive!

This is simply a "famous" assembly line!

Only in this way will their words, actions, and smiles not be inferior to the daughters of the family.

Only in this way can they talk about the art of war endlessly, and only when they talk about poetry can they make the scholars embarrassed!

Only in this way will the literati linger in the green building and be happy!

Alas!

It is said that "a woman is virtuous if she is not talented", but what is the result?

Slap it in the face!

That's not right!

This is the Ming Dynasty, monogamy and multiple concubines!

It should be, find a "talentless" woman to be a wife, and find a few "talented" women to be concubines!

Otherwise, it can't be said!

Yes, yes!

Whatever, that's it!

Ou also!

"Factory father, that's Liu Tingyuan's ship!"

Chen Wangting's voice interrupted Wang Li's thoughts.

Several large boats, parked on the river outside the post station.

I'll go!

More than 200 guards!

It's all murderous!

Since you're here in person, you just want to catch people!

If you want to catch people, why do you bring so many guards?

Who to scare?

It seems that the secretary of the military department of the southern capital is not a vain position!

If the price can't be negotiated, it is estimated that it will be difficult to be good today!

"Princess! You went to Zhejiang and Fujian to prepare for the construction of ports, but you stretched out your tentacles to the Ordnance Bureau, is it too wide? ”

"Really?" Wang Li smiled and picked up the wine bowl nonchalantly: "At the beginning of Emperor Taizu's founding of the country, he had to "peel the skin and grass" if he was greedy for five hundred taels!

Your brother is greedy for so much silver, and ten skins are not enough!

Whether the factory is "too wide", this has to be ruled by the Lord of Long Live Lord, you say yes! ”

Liu Tingyuan's face was pale, he glanced at Chen Wangting angrily, and then moved his gaze to Wang Li: "Princess! You and I have no grievances and no hatred, and we don't give any face? ”

Face?

Actually, I want to give you face too!

However, I am very embarrassed!

Chen Wangting beside me is an upright old man!

I can't do it if you ask for money in front of him!

So, I'm going to have to get rid of him first!

"Chen Zuoting! You immediately join Song Qianhu! Whoever dares to rob a prisoner will be killed! ”

"No!"
