Chapter 263

There are no eternal enemies, and there are no eternal friends, only distant interests.

In Cheng Shijie's view, this is because the development of Liaodong has aroused the vigilance of Emperor Chongzhen, so he used the way of changing the seal of the King of Liao and Zhang Yan accepting Cheng Jiayue as a righteous daughter to test Cheng Shijie.

"Cheng Shuai, what do you mean ......?"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly: "Ben Shuai is tired, if His Majesty thinks that he can manage the affairs of Liao Mansion well, then this governor, Ben Shuai will not do it!" ”

Gao Qiqian wanted to see Cheng Shijie's anger, unwillingness, dissatisfaction and other emotions on Cheng Shijie's face, but the problem was that Cheng Shijie only had a faint smile on his face, no hysteria, no gnashing of teeth, and no anger.

This did not make Gao Qiqian breathe a sigh of relief, but made him feel panicked. As the supervisor of the Ning Navy, don't look at Gao Qiqian's usual absence in Liaodong, but in fact, he has always watched the development of Liaodong.

Now Liaodong has built two cement roads in the east and west, these hard cement roads, can ignore the rainy weather, can carry thousands of pounds of carriages, he has also witnessed the miracle created by too many technologies in Liaodong, the four-wheeled carriage galloping on the road, precision bearings and gears, machine tools driven by the flow of water, pesticides that terrify many pests, and screw pumps that can pump water to a height of several zhang...... These are all related to the national economy and people's livelihood, which one can not benefit the people of Daming for generations?

And agro-workers, and mathematics, and geometry, and chemistry, and ...... Which subject cultivates talents that are not the cornerstone of a strong country? Now he only hates that there are too few people who understand this, so that all this can only be spread in the small circle of Liaodong in a short period of time, and cannot be extended to the whole country.

Liaodong can have the current situation, not Cheng Shijie alone, but more than 8 million Liaodong people work together, get up early and run it late, watching Liaodong become rich rapidly, everyone has a sense of accomplishment.

Of course, in the process of developing Liaodong, Liaodong also produced solid supporters, these supporters were headed by Ning Haijung, Cheng Shijie pushed out the military merit reward policy, which was simply more radical than the Qin Dynasty's twentieth rank military lord, although this military merit lord did not come with privileges, but there were many fields of reward.

Now Liaodong has increased at least tens of thousands of landlords, these landlords are different from the landlords of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, these landlords are not like the landlords of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, relying on hard study of the four books and five classics.

Almost all the landlords of Liaodong are fierce generals of the Ning Navy, and they are also Cheng Shijie's die-hard supporters, and if the imperial court wants to touch the cheese of Liaodong, they will definitely not agree.

The second group is the merchants, or the bold, who have also made a lot of money in the development of Liaodong. The most critical thing is those officials of the Liaodong Management Committee.

In the past two years, Liaodong has a lot of surpluses, and they were also given bonuses during the New Year, which are legal income, although they are not as exaggerated as the Qing Governor's Mansion and 100,000 snowflakes and silver for three years, but it is very easy to maintain a decent life.

Now that Liaodong is rich, some people are red and have begun to poke knives and forks over. They will also oppose it, and it is estimated that they will also use Liaodong thinking to solve the problem.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't understand the thinking of the people of Liaodong, but Gao Qiqian knew that Liaodong was very tough now, and when he could do it, he would definitely not be noisy.

Looking at Cheng Shijie's silent appearance, he was unmoved, and Gao Qiqian vaguely understood something. As a human spirit who follows the emperor, Gao Qiqian has a clear understanding of human nature.

Once it reaches the level of Cheng Shijie, loyalty is mutual, the emperor gives the minister the lizi, the minister gives the emperor face, if there is a problem in one link between the two sides, then the result is fatal.

Cheng Shijie ignored Gao Qiqian and directly served tea to the guests.

Gao Qiqian was very helpless: "Cheng Shuai, please don't be impatient, our family will go back to the capital immediately to find out what is going on!" ”

Gao Qiqian didn't want to lose Cheng Shijie, a political ally, because Cheng Shijie gave him too much, and it was absolutely impossible to give Gao Qiqian so much for another person, especially the people around Gao Qiqian, they could invest or set up factories in Liaodong, as long as they obeyed the regulations of Liaodong and paid taxes on time, they could also make a lot of money.

"Got it"

Cheng Shijie smiled faintly.

Gao Qiqian said angrily: "Cheng Shuai, there is a villain in the court!" Cheng Shuai worked hard in order to govern Liaodong well, and our family saw it in their eyes, how could they talk nonsense with their eyes open! No, our family will enter the capital again, and whatever we say, we will tell the Holy Lord the truth about Liaodong, and return your innocence! ”

Cheng Shijie sneered: "It's useless, Gonggong Gao, even if you run ten times, it's useless!" What can the Holy One do when he knows the truth? So many people were fascinated by the oil and water of Liaodong, and it was too easy for them to collapse Liaodong without concealing the Holy Lord! ”

Gao Qiqian said unwillingly: "Then what should we do?" Just watching them ruin our hard work! ”

"When the ass decides the head, they can do even the most ridiculous things."

Cheng Shijie clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, don't cry and be happy!" Big things, not as important as Ben Shuai to accompany his daughter, it's going to rain, and my mother wants to get married, so let him go! ”

Although Cheng Shijie didn't want to tear his face with the court, he was so cheap to build a slave. Once he tears his face with the imperial court, those people in the imperial court will definitely win over Jiannu in order to deal with Cheng Shijie, so that Cheng Shijie has to deploy heavy troops along the Taizi River, and even give up the area north of the Taizi River.

This is what Cheng Shijie doesn't want to see, he wants to go on an expedition to Jiannu, in fact, it's not easy, Jiannu can't beat the Ning Navy, there is no doubt about it, but the problem is that Jiannu can run, and as soon as they put their belongings on horseback, they can run towards Horqin and Mobei grassland.

The mobility of the Ning Navy is simply difficult to catch up with Jiannu. Just like when Huang Taiji dealt with Lin Dan Khan, Lin Dan Khan commanded 40,000 old, weak, sick and disabled, Huang Taiji led the elite of the Eight Banners, chased for ten months, Lin Dan Khan ran to Qinghai, and Huang Taiji only captured more than 10,000 people.

For Lin Dan Khan, the loss is still acceptable, and the problem now is the same, as long as Cheng Shijie shows that he wants to go north to attack Shenyang, if Huang Taiji does not run, Cheng Shijie dares to buckle his eyes out.

Although he can't tear his face with Daming, a Liao king doesn't want to and pee on Cheng Shijie's head, at least if Cheng Shijie is unwilling, the Liao king will never have the possibility of setting foot in the land of Liaodong.

Zhu Yuanzhang can let King Xiaoming fall into the water and die, and Cheng Shijie also has enough strength to make King Liao fall into the water and disappear.

The sea is now the world of the Ning Navy and the Navy.

Cheng Shijie is actually very pathetic, at the Xingyang Conference, at this meeting, General Li Zicheng of Gao Yingxiang's subordinates, with his outstanding military ability, put forward the strategic principle of joint operations and division of troops to meet the enemy, that is, to divide the peasant rebel army into four routes: east, west, south, and north, to attack and fight the enemy, and to place the main force of the rebel army in the east where the enemy's strength is weak.

Li Zicheng's farsightedness and sagacity were affirmed and agreed by everyone, and they unanimously decided to use this strategic principle to guide the operation. Subsequently, the main force of the rebel army marched eastward to resist the enemy, and won victories all the way, invincible.

Now, although Zhang Xianzhong has not really captured Fengyang, he is already very close to Fengyang, and it can be said that his eyebrows are burned, and those guys don't want to think about how to put out the fire, but they want to squeeze some oil and water out of Liaodong.

Cheng Shijie didn't know what to say, he could only show that the dynasty was really a dynasty with a very spirit of death, the dynasty was not extinguished, and the death was endless!

If you don't die, you won't die, and if you die, I'll kill you, and if you want to play, I'll play with you!

In fact, what Cheng Shijie didn't know was that this matter was not led by Emperor Chongzhen, but the people below were in a daze, ready to pull out their teeth and take chestnuts from the fire.

In fact, this is the spontaneous behavior of Zhu Shuya, the king of Liao, to be precise, it should be because of one person.

This person is Zhu Shuya's adviser Gu Junen, in history he was Li Zicheng's adviser, at first Chen Qiyu's adviser, just like Sun Chengzong's staff Mao Yuanyi, Chen Qiyu could mobilize generals to besiege all kinds of rogues in the seventh year of Chongzhen, and almost trapped Li Zicheng.

However, at the most critical moment, Chen Qiyu drifted and did not listen to Gu Junen's strategy, so the rogue revived, and Chen Qiyu was sent to the army. And Gu Junen ran back to his hometown in Hubei. At this time, Zhu Shuya, the king of Liao, asked Emperor Chongzhen for a decree to use the wasteland of Shatou Town as his hunting ground.

This is the old trick of the Ming Dynasty vassal kings, these guys fancy where the good land, if the owner of those fields is a dignitary or a gentleman with a background, it is just that, if it is a group of ordinary people, they immediately play the court, say that this good land is wasteland, begging the court, and the court who do not know the truth often really as they wish, and give them a large piece of good land as wasteland.

As for the original owner of that fertile land...... If you don't know each other, you will immediately know what it means to "sit at home behind closed doors, and the pot comes from the sky"! There were even some poor peasants who not only lost the fields on which their ancestors had relied for their livelihoods, but also somehow became tenant farmers of the vassal kings.

All the vassal king had to do was pay a small amount of money to buy off the local officials and change their household registration slightly. Shatou Town is actually not a good land, but it is an important waterway, with Cheng Shijie defeating Zheng Zhilong to control Wusongkou, the entire Ming Dynasty's sea ban has existed in name only.

As long as you pay the money, you can release the boat to sea, and you don't have to worry about the sailor's smuggling.

With this change, the commercial development of Huguang and the areas along the river has developed by leaps and bounds, and when Gu Junen returned to his hometown, he found that his home was gone, and even hundreds of acres of thin fields were forcibly seized by the King of Liao. Gu Junen hated Zhu Shuya, the king of Liao, and he assumed the pseudonym Wu Zhongxian and took refuge in the king of Liao.

After showing his outstanding ability, Gu Junen is also Wu Zhongxian and became Zhu Shuya's henchman, at this time, he offered Zhu Shuya a plan to change the fief, Gu Junen's real purpose is to borrow Cheng Shijie's hand to kill Zhu Shuya, in Daming, the vassal king is equivalent to having a gold medal for avoiding death, as long as they don't rebel, they can be unscrupulous.

But if he offended a powerful faction like Cheng Shijie, even if Zhu Shuya didn't rebel, it would be impossible to get good fruit from Cheng Shijie's subordinates.

In Gu Junen's statement to Zhu Shuya, Guangning, Liaodong, has now become the fragrance of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, especially with a huge coastal area where salt can be dried. There are a large number of primeval forests, if these trees are placed in other places, they are used to cut firewood, but in Liaodong, these trees can make a lot of money.

You must know that there are four shipyards in Liaodong alone, three of which build warships and one build merchant ships, and the amount of wood consumed every day is a massive number.

After Gu Junen's flickering, Zhu Shuya, the king of Liao, was moved, so he tried to write a petition to Emperor Chongzhen, and recruited Jingxiang officials to jointly build momentum for him.

Of course, Cheng Shijie doesn't care about all this, he only cares about the result.

After sneaking away, Zhu Weiyuan came to Cheng Shijie's side: "Donkey, you dissipate your anger!" ”

"I'm not angry!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Zhu Weiyuan and said, "In the past few days, you can help take care of Jiayue first, and I'll go out!" ”

"Xianggong, you can't enter Beijing, I'm afraid in case ......"

Zhu Weiyuan is a princess in the end, and when Zhang Yan wanted to accept Cheng Jiayue as a daughter, she felt that something was wrong, especially now that she also received a secret letter from Concubine Li Kang to Zhu Weiyuan, half a month ago, Chongzhen met Zhang Yan privately.

You must know that Emperor Chongzhen has always respected Empress Zhang, although he often asks Empress Zhang for peace, but he always takes Empress Zhou with him, which is also to avoid suspicion. However, at the private meeting half a month ago, Queen Zhou was not present, and the two talked for half an hour.

Zhu Weiyuan said: "Xianggong, although it is said that the lady is not allowed to interfere in politics, but the concubine still has to say, you had better be prepared with both hands, if the court wants to treat Xianggong's crimes on trumped-up charges, Xianggong must not learn from Yue Fei!" ”

"Then who do I learn! Learn from Cao Cao? ”

"You can be Huo Guang!"

Zhu Weiyuan said: "Today's prince is young, and the prince can ......"

"Don't worry about this, I know how to do it!"

Cheng Shijie also thinks that Zhu Weiyuan is reasonable.

Cheng Shijie asked people to call Song Xiance and Lin Xuzong over.

Not long after, Song Xiance and Lin Xuzong came to Cheng Shijie's study. At this time, Cheng Shijie was writing and scratching on the paper, not knowing what he was doing.

"Meet the Lord!"

Cheng Shijie said: "You sit! ”

"Lord!"

Lin Xuzong said with a smile on his face: "Just stand!" ”

Song Xiance just wanted to sit down, and immediately got up, he suddenly understood whether he had been a little floating recently.

"I don't know what the lord commands!"

Cheng Shijie put down his pen, stood up straight, looked at the two, and was silent for a long time: "You have followed me for four years, right?" ”

Song Xiance said: "If you go back to the lord, it's been four years!" ”

Cheng Shijie said helplessly: "As for me, I am not very good at employing people, and I have many unreasonable things about your arrangements, and I have wronged you." ”

Although it is said that Song Xiance and Lin Xuzong are the directors of the management committee, in fact, the power of the director of the management committee is very limited, and the members below are responsible for a mess of affairs, and they can't interfere. Even if it is an order, it is a matter of duty.

They are like the cabinet elders of the Ming Dynasty, but unlike the cabinet elders, the cabinet elders also have a ministry that is also in charge, for example, Xu Guangqi is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Wu Zongda is the secretary of the Ministry of Officials and a scholar of the Zhongji Palace, the prince and the young master.

But Song Xiance and Lin Xuzong did not have a part-time job, and even if they wanted to propose any policy, they needed the members of the management committee to raise their hands to vote.

"Don't say that, if it weren't for the lord's support, Kang Nian wouldn't know if he would be able to live until now!"

"To be able to become the deputy director of the Liaodong Management Committee, a certain ancestor is a ...... of virtue on the ancestor"

Song Xiance asked in horror: "Lord, why do you say this?" You don't want to drive us away, do you? ”

"What do you think! Although Ben Shuai is not very good at employing people, he can also see that you are all wise and resourceful talents, how could I drive you away! ”

Cheng Shijie smiled and said: "But people always have to go to high places!" ”

"A certain vow to swear allegiance to the lord!"

Cheng Shijie lightly told the two of them about King Liao's request to the court to change the seal.

When the two of them heard this, they felt the seriousness of the problem.

"What do you want to do, lord?"

Cheng Shijie said: "I want you to select some right-hand men to leave the Ning Navy, go to Nanyang to gather the displaced people, form an army, and take down the Jingxiang area for me!" ”

Lin Xuzong was shocked: "Lord, you are going to rebel!" ”

"Almost!"

Cheng Shijie said lightly: "It's almost like rebellion, but I didn't take down this large area to overthrow the country, but to save the country!" You also know that Liaodong has become rich, and many people are red-eyed, and they will do whatever it takes away Liaodong from us, and with our strength, we can't compete with them at all! If we lose the more than 8 million people who have worked so hard in Liaodong to settle down in Liaodong, there will be no way to live! ”

Lin Xuzong looked embarrassed.

Song Xiance's face showed a strange brilliance: "Lord, you want equipment!" ”

"Give you as much as you want!"

Cheng Shijie let Song Xiance be released, the purpose is twofold, the first is that Song Xiance has served as the Liaodong Management Committee for a long time, and it is impossible for him to hold this position for a long time.

The second is that Song Xiance is naturally rebellious, and he hates the gentry class, and he will be like a herbicide, a large-scale purge of the gentry, if Song Xiance's rebel army can mix up a world, it will also be a good thing for Cheng Shijie in the future.

Even if Cheng Shijie doesn't arrange it like this, once the King of Liao arrives in southern Liaoning, he will definitely win over Song Xiance to ask Lin Xuzong first.

After Song Xiance, Cheng Shijie, and Lin Xuzong discussed in the study for a few hours, Song Xiance and Lin Xuzong left the Ning Navy General Mansion.

That night, there was a rumor in Liaodong, which was very clear-sighted, and it was rumored that Song Xiance felt sick in his stomach when he was on duty, so he asked for leave to go home.

As a result, Lin Xuzong and Song Xiance's wife Wang Shi, and Lin Xuzong had a good time, although the two did not roll the sheets on the bed, probably because they were too hasty and had not had time yet.

Song Xiance was furious at the time, drew his sword and tore Lin Xuzong, but the problem was that Lin Xuzong was tall and big, and Song Xiance was less than a medium foot, so instead of beating Lin Xuzong, he was humiliated by Lin Xuzong.

Song Xiance was angry, so he and his nephew Jiang Wuzhi gathered more than 60 family members, armed with blades and fierce fire oil, and slaughtered Lin Xuzong's mansion with great momentum.

Lin Xuzong's mansion suddenly burst into flames, and almost half of Jinzhou City smelled the stench of barbecue, and when Cheng Shijie learned the news, he hurriedly ordered Ning Haijun to arrest Song Xiance. In the vicious fight, Song Xiance's nephew Jiang Wuxian killed Cheng Shijie's adopted son Cheng Hu.

Taking advantage of the fact that the Ning Navy had not had time to react, Song Xiance escaped from Jinzhou City, and Song Xiance left the time difference, and went to sea on the warship Xi'an in the West Port District of Jinzhou.

This news caused a huge shock in Liaodong, Cheng Shijie even fell ill for a time and was bedridden, in fact, this is a scene, Lin Xuzong, and his son Lin Lingchao, Lin Lingzheng, and Jiang Wuxi, Song Xiance, and Cheng Hu are the executors of this plan.

Cheng Shijie had no choice but to order Sun Zhili to act as the director of the Liaodong Management Committee, and Yang Yunniang to be the deputy director and president of the bank.

After arranging the affairs of Liaodong, Cheng Shijie took the opportunity of pretending to be sick to leave the Ming Dynasty and return to the afterlife.

Cheng Shijie returned to the old house on the third floor and found that the house had been restored to its original state, that is, Cheng Shijie had not moved, including Cheng Jiayue's clothes and toys were moved back to the old house by Xiang Hui.

Cheng Shijie wanted to ask Xiang Hui what was going on, so he drove the car and came to Longyue Company.

"Cheng is always good!"

The doorman of Longyue Company is Duan Mingyu's father and a relational household. Although Cheng Shijie didn't worry about the affairs of Longyue Group, Xiang Hui still gave Cheng Shijie the position of general manager of Longyue Group.

Longyue Group is a mom-and-pop shop, the husband and wife jointly hold shares, Cheng Shijie is only 5%, Xiang Hui is 95%, and as for the five golden flowers, the shareholding is the following branch.

It still looks like that's the case.

Before Cheng Shijie entered the door, Lao Duan said: "Mr. Cheng let you run for nothing, and now Mr. Xiang is not in the company!" ”

"If she's not in the company, do you know where she went?"

"I don't know the specifics, I went to the city government for a meeting!"

Cheng Shijie thought that it was okay anyway, it was better to go to Cheng Jialong and use Cheng Jialong to do an experiment, when he came back from the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Shijie could bring some sweat medicine, the main ingredient of this sweat medicine is actually ether, he just wanted to find out if he could bring Cheng Jialong to the Ming Dynasty.

Because Xiang Hui needed to take care of Cheng Jiayue, Cheng Jialong was older and went to the boarding Tiancheng Bilingual School. Cheng Shijie made a call to Cheng Jialong's teacher: "Teacher Zhang, I am Cheng Jialong's father, there is something at home, I want to take Cheng Jialong home!" Yes, yes, yes, just wait for me at the school gate, I'll be there in half an hour! ”

When Cheng Jialong appeared at the school gate, Cheng Jialong said, "Dad, how do you have time to pick me up today?" ”

As soon as Cheng Jialong got in the car, Cheng Shijie stunned Cheng Jialong with ether.

Looking at the unconscious Cheng Jialong, Cheng Shijie muttered: "Son, I'm sorry, Dad needs to experiment with you!" ”
