Li Xianzhong and his entourage did not go directly into the city, but changed their outfits in a manor belonging to the Li family on the outskirts of Beijing.

In fact, in the early years, Li Chengliang had already purchased a lot of industries and fields near the capital.

Including Li Rubai, he actually stayed in the capital for a long time, which is one of the reasons why Tielingwei is not there.

The imperial court was so jealous of the Li family in Liaodong that the Li family had to place themselves in the capital and appear under Wanli's control at any time.

Of course, it is normal for the border generals of all dynasties and dynasties to hold their families stranded in Beijing as hostages.

This time, Li Rubai repeatedly told himself that he must keep a low profile in the capital.

Li Xianzhong knows very well whether the Li family can continue to occupy a place in Liaodong, and his performance in Beijing this time is particularly important.

It's like if you passed the company's entrance exam with a perfect score in the written test, but if you didn't satisfy the examiner during the interview; Or if you perform too well and even make him think that you have become a threat to him, then there is a good chance that you will not be assigned to a good position.

The reason why Li Xianzhong rushed to Beijing so day and night was to leave enough time to understand the situation in the capital.

Soon the steward of the manor told him what had happened in Beijing these days.

When he heard that the Donglin Party "broke into the palace and cried and mourned", Li Xianzhong couldn't help but shake his head, it seems that these people are really easy to change, and their temperament is difficult to change.

But when he heard that Liu Yijing was called "the coffin waiter", he began to frown.

The Donglin Party people were actually reused in advance, and he originally remembered that these people would not jump out until Wanli died.

Especially when Yuan Yingtai's name appeared in the position of the right attendant of the military department, he knew that something might be bad.

Historically, after Yuan Yingtai, who was elected by the Donglin Party, took over Xiong Tingbi as the economic strategy of Liaodong, he lost Shenyang and Liaoyang within a few days, which directly made Xiong Tingbi's previous efforts come to naught.

It is no exaggeration to say that this product is not even as good as Yang Hao.

At the same time, he also sweated for Yang Hao, it seems that this time the Donglin Party is going to fight with Yang Hao, and use him as a breakthrough to fight against the three parties of "Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang".

Unfortunately, I guess I will also become the target of their incidental attacks.

Because their purpose is to change the commander of Liaodong, they will definitely do everything possible to slander the achievements of the Liaodong soldiers.

It seems that the situation is much more complicated than he expected, originally Liaodong Jingluo was nothing more than two candidates, either Yang Hao stayed in office or Xiong Tingbi took over?

No matter who served as the governor of Liaodong, it would not endanger the rule of the Ming Dynasty in Liaodong, and he personally preferred Yang Hao to stay in office. Although Yang Hao's ability is limited, he knows that he has to rely on the Li family to stabilize the situation in Liaodong.

It should not affect the layout of Liaodong.

Although Xiong Tingbi is more capable, he will not sit back and watch himself grow step by step in Liaodong.

But now there is a Yuan Yingtai, this kind of literati who only has a passion is the most terrifying, and it is really not as good as Yang Hao, who is greedy for life and afraid of death.

But it's useless to think about it more now, the development of the court is not something he can control, and he can only take one step at a time.

Li Xianzhong has already taken off his military uniform and put on a refined mink coat, plus his skin is fair, he looks like a gentleman.

Several pro-soldiers also changed into the outfits of ordinary family members, but the murderous aura on their bodies was not available to ordinary family members.

His destination today is Dongcheng, where the Goolan Hutong is where the official prostitutes gather, and the adjacent Yanyue Hutong is where the Jiaofangsi Band plays.

These alleys are the predecessors of the "Eight Great Hutongs" in later generations.

The brothels of the Ming Dynasty were generally called "Goolan", which sounded more elegant than the brothels of Qinglou.

In fact, at this time, most of the "brothels" in the capital were government-run, and the Department of Teaching Workshops was subordinate to the Ministry of Rites.

Although these Goolan workshops in Jingshi are not as good as the boats of the Qinhuai River in Jinling, they are still very lively.

It has to be said that the climate of the Xiaoice River is beginning to show its power, and although it is the end of March, the night in the capital is still so cold. The biting cool breeze caused the pedestrians on the road to speed up their pace, and they all complained that this year's "inverted spring cold" was too powerful.

Li Xianzhong, who was dressed in a mink fur, naturally didn't feel cold, but his outfit was too conspicuous on the street, causing passers-by to speculate about which family this son was?

At this time, the population near Jingshi in the Ming Dynasty was close to one million, and it was the world's largest metropolis.

At the beginning of the lanterns, all kinds of red lanterns were already hung near Goolan Fang, and there were bursts of silk and bamboo sounds inside.

Where have the few personal soldiers behind Li Xianzhong seen this scene, they have long been at ease, and they all look eager to try.

Finally, they came to today's destination, a place called the Sleeping Moon Tower.

This is actually a government-run brothel under the Department of Education, but Li Xianzhong is not here today to visit the Qinglou, and he is elegant.

He was planning an auction for himself.

Through the relationship of the Li family, he found Mianyue Building, and today will auction a superb Dongzhu here, in addition to winning Dongzhu, buyers can also get the opportunity to be alone with Wu Xiaoxiao, the top brand of Mianyue Building.

Of course, Li Xianzhong also paid a lot of price for this. A charter fee of 1,000 taels of silver, plus 2% of the auction commission.

To be honest, he has no interest in Wu Xiaoxiao at all, what he did was just to take advantage of the fame of Wu Xiaoxiao and Mingyue Lou to cause the popularity of Dongzhu in the capital, so that the Dongzhu in his hand could be sold at a high price.

Otherwise, if he sells such a large amount of Dongzhu at one time, even if someone is willing to buy it, the price will inevitably be constantly suppressed.

He is a person of later generations, although he is not a marketing professional, but he is still very familiar with these marketing methods, and he has always learned a few points from reading so many novels and TV series.

The old bustard who received him didn't know that Li Xianzhong was the seller behind the scenes, but they were all human spirits, and when he looked at Li Xianzhong's clothes and the family behind him, he knew that this must be the son of an official eunuch who came to Beijing from other places, not an ordinary local tyrant.

In addition, Li Xianzhong directly rewarded her with a piece of silver, and led the local tyrant directly to a table in the front row.

Li Xianzhong was surprised, she thought that she would lead herself to the private room on the second floor, it seems that this Wu Xiaoxiao should still be quite famous, and a local tyrant like herself can only be arranged in the hall.

But soon he was relieved, this is the capital, how many dignitaries and dignitaries. Those people can't show their heads in public on such occasions, and they must have booked a private room a long time ago.

At this time, the surrounding spectators were already talking.

"I heard that today's Dongzhu is the best!"

"Not to mention having this East Pearl, just being alone with Little Miss Wu is worth a lot of money!"

Everyone's discussion made Li Xianzhong, who was still worried about his blood loss, instantly full of confidence, it seems that this thousand taels will definitely not be lost.

Soon, under the attention of everyone, this Dongzhu covered with a red cloth finally revealed its true face.

The old bustard said enthusiastically: "This is the best Dongzhu produced in Liaodong, the bead is huge, and very round, the whole body is white, there are no impurities, it is a rare treasure, the starting price is 500 taels of silver." ”

Everyone saw a pearl slightly smaller than an egg, which radiated a jewel-like brilliance under the illumination of the light. Its luster is delicate and even, each light blends with the surface of the pearl, it seems to have a life of its own, constantly jumping, dancing, and emitting infinite light.

It gives people an incomparable luxury and preciousness.

Although pearls of similar size are available on the market, such roundness and color are indeed rare.

Even these well-informed rich children are eye-opening.

They began to bid one after another, and the Dongzhu was quickly shouted from 500 taels to 800 taels.

At this time, a fat man with a fat head and big ears shouted directly: "1000 taels, today this Dongzhu is going to be decided by my yellow fat man." ”

Everyone saw that this was Huang Weimin, a famous silk merchant in the south of the Yangtze River, who was called "Huang Fat" because of his obesity, but he didn't expect him to appear here.

However, it is obvious that the "yellow fat man" did not scare these children in the capital, and a small Jiangnan silk merchant dared to shout in the capital, I really don't know how thick the sky is.

Soon someone surpassed him, 1200 taels, 1500 taels, 1800 taels, and several people kept raising the price of each other.

"Yellow Fat Man" gritted his teeth and went directly to 3,000 taels.

At this time, the fat man Huang showed a smug expression, and the subtext seemed to say: Lao Tzu is capricious if he is rich, what can you do with me?

However, he didn't stay complacent for long, and soon a voice came from the private room on the second floor: "Five thousand taels!" ”

Everyone looked for prestige, and they stopped the noise, and for a while, no one dared to bid again!
