After coming to the Ming Dynasty for so long, Cheng Shijie has not been able to enjoy life well. After this setback, he calmed down and decided to enjoy life.

Walking on the street with his daughter, Zhu Weiyuan, Yang Yunniang and a few servants, Cheng Shijie found that as the political center of Liaodong, the housing prices in Jinzhou have become frighteningly high in just over four years. Housing prices in the Golden State are naturally much lower than in later generations. But the problem is that in the Ming Dynasty, it was already very high.

Cheng Shijie's mansion in Dongzhimen, although it was not obtained with any money, but in fact, the house price there was about 50 taels of silver per house, of course, it was already a mansion.

But now the average price of one hundred taels of silver per house in Golden State is still priceless, and the shops are more expensive, not to mention buying even if it is renting, a façade house costs twenty or thirty taels of silver, as the earliest batch of immigrants in Golden State, they are assigned a house, half of their own lives, half of them rent, with a lot of rent every year, life can barely get by.

Cheng Shijie asked curiously: "Why are the housing prices in Golden State so expensive?" ”

"Big ...... Xianggong, do you know how many people are in Golden State now? ”

"Five or six hundred thousand people?"

"More than a million!"

Yang Yunniang is more familiar with Jinzhou than Zhu Weiyuan, she explained to Cheng Shijie: "Since last year, a large number of wealthy people from Jiangnan have begun to pour into Jinzhou, and they have a lot of silver in their hands to buy real estate, so the housing prices in Jinzhou are one price a day, and it is not until these days that it has fallen a little!" ”

Cheng Shijie can understand why the housing prices in Jinzhou are high, because more than 400,000 Mongolian troops are heading south in the desert snow, and the rich are afraid, so they can only flee, especially with the fall of Taiyuan, the entire Taiyuan has almost been razed to the ground. In this case, the richer the people, the more afraid of death, they can't count on the Ming army, they can only hope that the Ning Navy can protect their safety.

In the Ming Dynasty, unlike later generations, although the city wall of Jinzhou was expanded three times, it could be expanded for the third time, and after the expansion was stopped, the area in the city was limited, especially for the army, the management committee and the senior generals of the Ning Navy and the members of the management committee, who had a large area of houses.

Cheng Jiayue's energy is still very strong, after Zhu Weiyuan is responsible for Cheng Jiayue's education, she takes Cheng Jiayue's royal elite education, Cheng Jiayue has fourteen personal teachers, in addition to etiquette, there are four of Jiayue's arithmetic, so that Zhu Weiyuan is very surprised, Cheng Jiayue's poetry and song endowment of these knowledge, can be said to be miserable, painting is barely an entry, but it is a good arithmetic talent.

In Zhu Weiyuan's mind, with Cheng Shijie's identity, Cheng Jiayue will definitely marry a high-ranking family as an eldest woman, and she needs to be in charge of a huge family business, and these knowledge are necessary. While teaching Cheng Jiayue to study, Zhu Weiyuan also found more than 100 girls aged eight to twelve from outside, these people followed Cheng Jiayue to study together, and adopted an elimination system, and those who could not keep up with their studies or courses would also be eliminated, and they would all be married maids in the future.

It can be said that Cheng Jiayue feels that her studies are more arduous than those in later generations, and she can finally follow Cheng Shizhuo, she seems to be like a bird that has escaped from the cage. The business atmosphere in the Golden State is very strong, especially with a lot of leather goods stores. Because of the circulation of silver coins, the people of Liaodong will more or less carry a wallet with a slanted shoulder, similar to the kind of slanted shoulder bag in later generations, both men and women.

What Cheng Jiayue likes the most is all kinds of clay figures, noodle figures, sugar people, flowers, birds, fish and insects and other things, children's physical strength is limited, and there are dragons and tigers in the morning, and at noon, Cheng Jiayue feels tired, Cheng Shijie feels that he can't bear it, so he walks into a teahouse with good decoration.

At this time, the time was just right, there were still quite a lot of guests, the tables in the corridor were full of guests, and when Cheng Shijie came in, there happened to be a group of people rushing into the teahouse. Led by several Confucian shirts, this is the identification costume of the scholar.

The shopkeeper watched a few scholars come in, and his face immediately changed: "I'm sorry, guest officer, the shop is full, please go elsewhere for tea!" ”

When Cheng Shijie heard this, he was about to turn around and leave, he had no sense of privileged class, and relied on his identity to drive the customers out of the store.

I didn't think about it, but the shopkeeper came to Cheng Shijie and said, "Guest officer, please inside!" ”

The scholars were immediately unhappy: "Why, he has a place when he comes, and we are full?" ”

"I'm very sorry, but we can't entertain these guests, it will affect the appetite of our guests."

The guests didn't come out to speak up, and they all laughed when they heard the words of the shopkeeper.

Where can these scholars stand this, they are so angry that their hands are shaking, and their faces are red and speechless.

Cheng Shijie didn't ask, and went straight to a table in the hall and sat down.

A middle-aged man at the head said: "Now you still have a chance to repent and apologize to me, I can forgive you for your offense to me." ”

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty have been privileged class, and the reason why the aristocracy is aristocracy is because of the ubiquitous privileges, although these scholars may have no official position, but they are scholars, high up, insulted by the common people, they have the right to take revenge in any way. The law will also protect their interests, after all, in this day and age, the following offenses are also included.

Cheng Shijie frowned, he felt that this shopkeeper was a little too much, although Liaodong has the uniqueness of Liaodong, but it should not discriminate against readers.

Soon, however, a somewhat wealthy shopkeeper came over: "What's the matter?" ”

"Let him apologize to us and ...... right away"

After understanding the situation, the shopkeeper said lightly: "Guys, I won't do your business, this is my autonomy!" ”

"Why? Don't we have any silver for you? ”

"Or, you go to the yamen to sue me?"

The shopkeeper is very unscrupulous.

A few scholars still wanted to make a big noise, and in the distance, several chengguan wearing black uniforms and red armbands on their arms walked over.

"What's going on?"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Liaodong's chengguan is even in charge of public security, and seeing the chengguan appear, several scholars chose to back down and left the teahouse in a gloomy manner.

"Shopkeeper, come and talk!"

Although Cheng Shijie was sitting in the lobby, there were more than a dozen guards around him, as well as Zhu Weiyuan and Yang Yunniang, who were dressed in men's clothes, so they understood that Cheng Shijie's identity was not simple.

"Man, serve four plates of preserved fruit to this guest officer, I invited it!"

The shopkeeper sat down opposite Cheng Shijie: "I don't know the surname of the guest official!" ”

"Don't have your surname Cheng!"

"That's ...... with Cheng Dashuai"

"The surname Cheng in the world is not his family, I want to have something to do with him, isn't it out of reach?"

Cheng Shijie: "I'm Luoyang Cheng's, Cheng Dashuai is Liaodong Cheng's, five hundred years ago, it was one!" ”

When Cheng Shijie asked why the store was hostile to those who read, the store's eyes turned red.

It turned out that the shopkeeper was originally a person from Nanjing, surnamed Qiao Mingyou, and also ran a teahouse for a living, and had two sons, the eldest son died young, and the second son Qiao Zixian married a beautiful daughter-in-law Yu, by chance, Yu was favored by Liu Yuanqi, the son of Liu Sanjie, a man from Nanjing, and often came to the teahouse to tease Yu, Qiao You couldn't afford to provoke Liu Yuanqi, so he could only let his daughter-in-law Yu not come to the store to help.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, and later, Liu Yuanqi asked the servants to take advantage of Yu's return to his parents' house to arrest him.

Daming is an era of looking at faces, there is a disability in the eyes, but there is no way to be an official, Liu Yuanqi was furious and ordered someone to beat Yu to death, Qiao You complained to the government about Liu Yuanqi, and the government accepted Liu Sanjie's silver, but sentenced Yu to seduce Liu Yuanqi, extort money and so on.

Qiao You was ruined and killed, and was later put in prison, if it weren't for Cheng Shijie buying prisoners everywhere, Qiao You would not have been sold to Liaodong.

At first, Cheng Shijie thought that Qiao You was a little excessive, but now it seems that he really didn't suffer from others, so don't persuade others to be kind.

There are two sides to everything, and the key depends on which dimension you look at.

In the evening, Cheng Shijie received a report from Chen Guodong.

Cheng Shijie called Cheng Jialong to his study.

"Dad, I didn't cause trouble!"

Without waiting for Cheng Shijie to speak, Cheng Jialong hurriedly explained.

"I heard, you want to be the emperor?"

"You don't want to be, what's wrong with me?"

"Why are you emperor? Do you know how hard it can be to be an emperor? ”

"How hard can it be?"

Cheng Jialong smiled faintly and said: "Dad, although I don't read much, I also know that if you play like this, there is no way out for us two to retreat!" ”

"Why is there no way back?"

"You must know Huo Guang, right?"

"I don't need you to preach!"

"Huo Guang is the minister left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, for the sake of the Han Dynasty, is it wrong to abolish Liu He? He is actually right, he rescued Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty from the county and supported Liu Xun to become the emperor, he can be regarded as doing his best for the Han Dynasty, right? But the result? ”

Cheng Shijie was silent.

Later generations commented on why Liu Xun wanted to destroy the Huo Guang family, some said that the Huo Guang family was plotting to rebel, and some said that it was to avenge his wife, but the real reason was to overthrow the ministers, the only minister in history who was not liquidated, that was only Zhuge Liang.

Cheng Shijie is not Zhuge Liang, he wants to be Zhuge Liang, and Chongzhen is not Liu Adou.

Cheng Shijie said: "We can go back!" ”

"We can go back, but Dad, have you thought about the people who are following you, what will happen to them?"

Cheng Jialong said: "Qi Jiguang and Yu Shaobao are lessons from the past, you want to be Cao Cao, be a Hanchen, I can wait, I can survive Chongzhen, wait for you to die......"

Without waiting for Cheng Jialong to finish speaking, Cheng Shijie shook his hand and slapped him: "Fart!" ”

Cheng Jialong touched his head: "If you don't want me to be the emperor in the future, or you will have more sons!" ”

Cheng Jialong didn't dare to say what was in his heart in front of Cheng Shijie: "In the future, I will learn from Li Shimin...... Let's have a blood-stained Xuanwu Gate. ”

Cheng Shijie fell into deep thought, there are some words that don't need to be reminded by Cheng Jialong, he actually knows better, if he retreats, those soldiers of the Ning Navy will definitely be like the Qi family army back then, they will be killed with a knife and sacrificed on the battlefield.

Cheng Shijie looked at the deep night sky, he knew that he couldn't retreat, he had to go on firmly, otherwise the people who followed him would die, and they would die very miserably.

He very much hoped that Emperor Chongzhen would stop doing it.

But the problem is that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

Ering Dabu Sannaoer, among the king's tent of Huang Taiji.

The candle flame flickered, and the candle shadow fell on Huang Taiji's face, which made Huang Taiji's face a little cloudy.

"Fan Qing, does Ben Khan have to ascend the throne?"

Huang Taiji can't make up his mind now, after all, the capital of Dajin Kingdom has just been served by Ning Haijun, although he said that he had prepared in advance, evacuated the families of the princes and nobles, and also evacuated the belongings left in Shenyang City.

This is, this is a resounding slap in the face, and it was slapped hard in the face of Huang Taiji, in this case, if he still wants to ascend the throne and become the emperor, wouldn't it be ridiculous and generous?

Fan Wencheng said with a serious face: "King Khan, only if you ascend the throne and become the emperor, our Dajin Kingdom will have the only way to live, otherwise, our Dajin Congress will be strangled by the Ming Dynasty little by little, we gave up the four states of southern Liaoning, they got the four states of southern Liaoning, and they were not satisfied, and then occupied Guangning, and then took Liaoyang, and then Shenyang, we have now retreated to Erin Dabu Sannaoer, do we really want to go to Mobei to eat sand?" King Khan, are you willing? ”

"Ben Khan, unwilling!"

Huang Taiji frowned slightly: "Ben Khan is just worried, this is a conspiracy of the Ming Dynasty!" ”

"King Khan can rest assured, they are actually more anxious than us!"

Fan Wencheng smiled bitterly: "If Cheng Shijie is an ordinary minister, even if he wants to be Cao Cao, they will definitely cooperate, it's a big deal to change a master, whether the surname of Jiangshan is Zhu or Cheng, those of them are still high nobles, and they still hold authority, but the problem is that Cheng Shijie is playing too much, he wants to subvert the Taoist system formed for thousands of years, and break the pattern of exclusive respect for Confucianism, which they can't bear!" ”

"They want Ben Khan to be a target to attract Cheng Shijie's attention?"

Huang Taiji shook his head and said: "Even if there is a decisive battle in Mobei, Cheng Shijie only needs to lead an army of fifty or sixty thousand, and Ben Khan ......."

"King Khan, what they actually want is to bewitch Chongzhen to drive the expedition in person, and send hundreds of thousands of elites of the Ming Dynasty to Mobei to die, just like back then, in fact, these soldiers and horses, as long as they go out of the capital, they don't need us to fight at all, they will cut off the grain route of this army by themselves, and when the time comes, the nine sides and even Beijing and Tianjin will be defenseless, and the king of Khan can lead his troops south, go straight to the capital, and enter the capital!"

Fan Wencheng hurriedly said: "King Khan, don't hesitate, there is no way out!" There is still a chance to fight for the emperor, but if you don't call the emperor, Daikin will finally be wiped out! ”

Huang Taiji sighed and said, "Ben Khan has never hesitated. It's just that now Dajin is in difficulty, and its strength is slightly inferior to before. ”

"After the king of Khan puts a hundred hearts and becomes the emperor, as long as he can swing his army into the customs, there will inevitably be a large number of talents vying to vote! Those so-called talents, Wei Chen has long seen through them, they don't care whether the people who use him are alien or not, they only care about how much benefit this master can bring to them, whether they can show their strengths and go down in history! ”

Fan Wencheng said: "They are not afraid that the master is of a foreign race, they are afraid that the master has no ambition, if there is no ambition, no matter how high and bright that person is, they will never take refuge." ”

Under Fan Wencheng's bewitchment, Huang Taiji moved.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, in March, Huang Taiji claimed to have obtained: "The so-called" jade seal of the past dynasties. At the same time, the unified clan was called "Manchuria"

On the grounds that Mobei surrendered and obtained the "jade seal of the country", the ministers asked Huang Taiji to "Zaozheng Dahao", and Huang Taiji resigned.

Dolgon took the Eight Banners as the main "Zaozheng Zun", and Huang Taiji resigned.

When the news reached the General Staff of the Ning Navy, Li Xin smiled bitterly and said: "Huang Taiji is going to be the emperor, and he is still playing the ghost trick of three words!" ”

Zhang Yu, the new chief of staff of the Ning Navy, frowned: "Da Ming is in danger!" ”

Li Xin looked at Zhang Yu and said: "Chief of General Staff Zhang, do you know why Wang Meng, a famous scholar in Guanzhong during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, refused the invitation of Huan Wen, a famous general of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and would rather return to Lin Quan than contribute to Huan Wen, and assisted Huan Wen to recover Chang'an, but finally took refuge in the former Qin Fu Jian, helped Fu Jian unify Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and almost destroyed the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which was of the same kind as him?" ”

Zhang Yu shook his head and said, "Wang Meng has long seen that Huan Wen can't fight? ”

"It's not because Huan Wen can't fight, but because Huan Wen doesn't have the ambition to be the emperor, so he can't let Wang Meng work for him! There are so many unambitious talents in the world, if the handsome man shows his ambition early, why worry that there is no talent like Wang Meng to vote! ”

Li Xin's words fell on Zhang Yu's ears, and he sighed and said, "It's a pity that the handsome man has no ambition!" ”

"Who said Ben Shuai has no ambitions?"

Cheng Shijie walked in.

He thought about it for a long time, thought about it for more than two months, and finally figured it out, the world still needs him to carry it in the end. (End of chapter)
