After seeing Yang Chengzu, Xiugu’s face turned red and she saw a ceremony. Speaking of things at home, she had already arranged neatly. The 30 mu of land was rented out according to Yang Chengzu’s orders. She left a few rooms at home and brought everything she didn’t sell into the city.
Yang Chengzu laughed. "It’s high time for everyone to live together or have a care, isn’t it? Those monks didn’t come looking for trouble, did they? "
"Without those monks, they turned to sex, instead of making trouble, they came to help." Miao Xiugu said that the monks in Chengfu Temple were quite grateful. These monks not only helped to guard the fields, but also specially she fought for more than ten acres of family property to transfer to private fields. She was naturally grateful to hear that Shaolin decided to try out the Buddhist field contracting method, which was piloted by Chengfu Temple.
Monks in Chengfu Temple want to take a ride to earn more savings themselves, which is especially pleasing to people around Yang Chengzu. Yang Chengzu nods, "It is also considered that those monks are sensible, so there is nothing to worry about in Xiaotiezhuang. In a few days, if you are like a fairy teahouse, you can all help in the past. It is not that you can’t afford it at home, but that you are afraid that your own home will be bored and I will find something for you to do."
"xianggong" wants me to go, I will definitely go. "Tie Coral looked at Yang Chengzu with a face of attachment and nodded." I have the strength and martial arts to help Sister Xian. If anyone dares to make trouble, I will beat him. "
Yang Chengzu brought back a few hundred taels of snowflake silver. This woman is naturally as happy as a fairy. She is thinking about silver preparation. When she doesn’t need to see Yang Chengzu bring back silver this time, she will completely put her heart at ease. She has already picked a good place, and then Yang Chengzu will come forward to negotiate the lease with the other party, which will be booming in a few days.
On that day, several big ruffians, Zhao Jiuxiong, came to congratulate her, which also announced that behind this teahouse is Caobang Road. Whoever wants to come here to make trouble must first weigh his own weight. Yang Chengzu went upstairs to have tea and snacks with several jinyi soldiers, and no one dared to come to the white road to make a rule.
Ruxian is a woman who is good at socializing and dancing with long sleeves, and she is a leading actress. She comes from a business line and has a lot of experience. With these many backers, business will naturally flourish. Both Miao and Iron Coral are women with outstanding looks. With their help, there are a constant stream of tea drinkers every day, even if they can’t have an eye addiction.
If Yang Chengzu is fine, he can also come and sit down. He can listen to the news and take photos of the beautiful women. By the way, he can also teach them to sing a few Peking Opera songs. Is it happy or not? After half a month in a row, it is relaxed and comfortable. The contradiction between the two women at home seems to be less acute because of the teahouse.
On this day, he was teaching Miao in the teahouse list to sing that Su San left Hongdong County as a fairy but came in from the outside to say, "My good brother is afraid that my disaster is coming."
Chapter sixty-three The wind blows green ping
"Disaster? What disaster can there be? " Yang Chengzu is boring at all. "But if anyone comes to make trouble, I’ll take care of him."
"It’s not someone who’s making trouble, but there’s something really wrong." Such as Xian carefully sitting next to Yang Chengzu said, "My teahouse is half for finding a business and the other half is for interrogating you. Just now, a few unfamiliar faces came to drink tea, so I paid special attention to some results. They actually talked about some outrageous words and listened to them. This is not what they know, but a lot of people know. It sounds like when the white army was in chaos, I went to the North Zhili scene to talk about what was wrong with us." Besides, how can I listen to them talk about the disaster? "
She is a good hand in welcoming and sending guests from all walks of life. No matter who she is, she can always satisfy the other side and go to hua county. There are many guests who come to watch the dock waterway. But no matter what the background is, they can cope with it. At first glance, these guests just followed the Cao boat to run to the dock, and the merchant, such as Xianyuan, never meant to say hello since she was the boss’s wife.
But when she heard each other’s words, she left her heart in the day, and then she listened to several people talking about Zhengde’s blood. It was not really a descendant of the first emperor, but Zhang Taihou, who had a child from the people, acceded to the throne and was not qualified to sit on this big day. No matter how relaxed the public opinion was, it was also necessary to decapitate her. After listening to a few words, the more she heard, the less she was, the more she came to give Yang Chengzu a message.
"Those merchants are passing by, and they don’t look like any bad guys. They just say that they are well-informed and know a lot, but they don’t mean to encourage anything. But the more they do, the more terrible it is. This kind of news has reached this level. Many people always think that this is going to happen."
When the white army rebelled, some people talked about the issue of virtuous blood, which is also the usual way of rebellion in this era. To deny the emperor’s blood and increase the legitimacy of his rebellion, Yang Chengzu asked, "What accent do those people speak?"
"Huguang over there, many businessmen from Huguang here are doing business with Cao boats. Do you want me to call someone to catch them all?"
"One person in our teahouse will affect the business no matter what, and I will talk to them in the past." Yang Chengzu went outside to sit at the neighboring table of those Huguang guests according to the guidance of immortals, and listened to a few people who were chatting and enjoying these guests. It seems easy for them to look at their clothes as rich people and obsess over flattery.
Seeing as a fairy came out to sit as the chief guest, the guest came back to the spirit. First, he asked for a pot of good tea, and then he said, "This mother, I’m going to do business in hua county this time. I still need your help in this scene. I’m not a local person. I don’t know where to meet people, and there are limited people. You have to help me get this done. I can’t do without your benefits. It’s not difficult for you to make a Jin Ruyi when the business is profitable."
Ruxian smiled and said, "This guest said that you are welcome to come to the little slave. This teahouse is my god of wealth to help you. Shouldn’t it be? It’s how wonderful that place is in Huguang. Why did you think of coming to hua county to do business? I don’t know what business you are doing. "
"My business is easy to do. It’s a lot of food."
Such as fairy sitting beside him directly chuckled "you this mouth is not the truth I can’t talk about the food business home can do will run to henan this man eat horse feed water artificial? If you don’t trust me, I can leave. You can ask whoever you like for help. "
The businessman was busy, and when she saw that she didn’t resist, she felt more in spirit. "Little Niang didn’t know that I didn’t bid for this grain in Huguang, but I got it in Henan. You didn’t know that both Huguang and Shaanxi suffered from famine this year, and then I heard people say that they were going to fight, so they couldn’t stay any longer. Others said that Henan could be saved. I guess it won’t be long before this Henan government will be lively … Can you see the price of gold? I told you such important news.
He said as he went to catch a fairy hand, but he didn’t want to be like a fairy, but he was very clever and slippery. "Don’t take my heart. This Henan government is not rich. Why do ordinary people run here?" Besides, it’s not a famine. Where do you get food? I don’t think you’re a good person, so there’s no truth in your mouth. Forget it. I’ll ignore you. I’m calling for business. "
Her light anger and thin anger almost made the merchant’s soul fly. "Don’t go, Xiao Niang. Listen to me. It’s true. It’s because a fairy teacher showed the way that only when we got to Henan can we come here. Yes, we are all grain merchants. When will we have food in our hands? If we don’t have Huguang, how can we make a disaster? Don’t ask Xiao Niang, can’t I sell your food cheaper? I have a friend here who has a few thousand pounds of new tea in his hand. "
Ruxian listened to Yang Chengzu’s desire for information with a few words and a few smiling faces, and then found a way to get rid of a few businessmen to greet others. After listening for a while, Yang Chengzu knew that these guests should have nothing to do with talent, but they were fascinated by Ruxian’s beauty.
He winked at Ruxian and got up and went out of the teahouse directly. He was thinking of looking for some old people to come over and talk about this trend. He didn’t want Song Liansheng to grab the step and said, "Big nephew, it seems that we have seen more refugees from hua county when we received the news. Listening to the accent, most of them are from neighboring provinces. Is it that the Yellow River has sent water again?"
The activity of spending money in the first place is that every year, it is a sky-high price for river workers to invest in river workers’ silver, but it is impossible to invest in river workers’ silver. In detail, it is the dragon king’s blessing that Dayuan engaged in river workers to make people angry and complain about stone people at a glance. Nowadays, future generations of the country will never despise water conservancy, regardless of financial constraints, and there has never been a shortage of river banks.
However, by this time, the flood of the Yellow River can no longer be solved simply by having money and spending money. Many times, even if the river is treated, it will cost money to send water or send water. It is also in the aquatic season that so many refugees come to make Song Liansheng sensitive to realize whether the flood of the Yellow River has caused the victims to flee.
You know, every time this time is the most tense moment for the Royal Guards. When a large group of hungry people get together, it is easy to cause public security problems. It is more likely that someone will attack the state and seize the county at once. After hearing this news, Yang Chengzu asked, "What is the price of food outside now?"
"Food? Why do you ask this? " It’s Song Liansheng’s turn to leng
"Are you worried about food prices after the victims come? You’re worried about this. They want to buy food, but they have to have money. I think they are all refugees. They have no money to buy food, and they can’t afford it. It should not be because of the increase in food prices. I heard that several big counties in the county are ready to help the victims. I have sent people to find out what they say first. If someone incites the rebellion, we can’t mobilize the military guards directly. This food matter belongs to the yamen. I don’t care. "
This is one of the major drawbacks of the great civil and military government. No matter whether his government is alive or dead, it is his own messenger who can explain to others that he loves to die. Without Yang Chengzu’s smile, he ordered people to prepare a short brown head for himself, change a turban, and smear some soil on his face, neck and hands, and suddenly he became a hard worker.
Song Liansheng said, "It’s not your turn to ask for information, big nephew. It’s enough for someone else to do it. You must go there and suffer this by yourself."
"Thank you, Song Shu. Leave it to someone else. After all, it’s better to take a trip by yourself. If you go by yourself, everything will be clear. Those refugees don’t know me. I’m sure that even if I recognize them, I just don’t say anything in broad daylight."
Chapter sixty-four Investigation (1)
He is not as bold as Song Liansheng. Although he is not very good at history, he has a foundation in Peking Opera. He knows that there was a great event in Zhengde Dynasty, that is, the rebellion of Ningwang in Jiangxi Province, which almost implicated a Tang Bohu.
On the contrary, there are still good kings who are well-known in the ruling and opposition circles, that is to say, the thunder has not sounded yet, and God knows when the Ning Wang rebellion will break out.
Although the rebellion didn’t seem to make a big difference from the overall pattern, after all, it didn’t change the regime, but from a place, it’s hard to say. What if there are spies from Ning Wang in Henan who are ready to arise? Even if we finally destroy them and build our own family, it’s not worthwhile.
He couldn’t figure out the history of Ning Wang, such as which cities were attacked and captured, and whether the soldiers had arrived in Henan was not enough. Since it was about his own fortune, it was always right to pay more attention. First, those merchants said that rumors were not conducive to the sky, and now there were artificial refugees. From the perspective of professional sensitivity, he also felt that something was wrong.
Well, those victims haven’t wandered into the villages outside the county seat yet. If they go into the city on a large scale, I’m afraid they will alarm the arresting officer.
In this era, the people as a whole are still afraid that if there is no malicious organization by the government, a few officials will be enough to disperse hundreds of victims.
After Yang Chengzu went out of the city, he touched the place according to the jinyi, and sure enough, he saw a large number of ragged, sallow and emaciated people sitting around the roadside trees and fields, whispering something and being wary of outsiders.
It is easy for him to blend into the crowd and set up his ears to listen to their accents. These people come from different regions and their accents are quite different, even though their hometown is far away in a province.
Good Yang Chengzu found himself with a golden finger after crossing, that is, he can understand the words of people from all provinces and others can understand this golden finger. Otherwise, even if he is thrown here, he doesn’t know what people say.
These people are all refugees, and they rely on the group to increase their sense of security. There are also more words than usual. "This time, we made a disaster in Huguang and then said that there was no way to fight. Xianshi said that we wanted to escape to Henan, but it doesn’t look like there is food in Henan. Is it wrong for us to come here? What if the Yellow River in Henan burst its banks and we didn’t die ourselves?"
"Then what can I do if I can’t live in my hometown, so I can make a living elsewhere. Even if I don’t fight, the land will be confiscated as high as the government rent, so I have to run. Since Maitreya said that Henan has food to eat, it must be right to say that it is also a death not to leave. Wait until there is a military disaster, be careful to catch you and go to the army. Tell me if this day is going to change. How come this long live is not the old master’s own?"
A military disaster? Long live, not your own? Yang Chengzu was sensitive to the fact that there was indeed a problem here. I’m afraid these refugees were by no means as simple as ordinary refugees. He leaned over to explore a few words, but he regretted to find that these people knew very little about it, and there was nothing informative.
I know that there is an expert who pointed out that a soldier disaster is about to happen in Huguang, and if I stay, I will be implicated in the fire. If I want to live, I have to run to Henan and the capital to have a chance.
This era is an era of overall superstition, even from the perspective of the imperial court, people believe in ghosts and gods. Ordinary people naturally believe in this, and Huguang has indeed suffered a disaster this year. There is no harvest in the land, and the government is partial to reducing taxes. How can everyone run away?
It is also common to say that the so-called gods enlighten the immortals to guide them. However, it is impossible to tell from these words what religion they believe in and which way they worship.
At this time, I listened to humanity again. "It’s good that the rich man here has a conscience. Just now, someone said that Mr. Zhuang Zuo pities our hardships and wants to give up porridge for a few days. It is said that the porridge is full. With such a kind person, maybe we can still save our lives. If we want court relief, we won’t starve to death. We can all live a good life when the one hundred-day disaster is over."
This dry people go on to say that it’s not which fairy teacher has great magical powers and which fairy teacher has high Taoist skills, and which girl didn’t like this escape and hooked the gossip of handsome young people.
Seeing that these victims are in stable mood now, there is no point in advocating chaos, but this revealed news has made Yang Chengzu feel even more wrong. When he went to town, he glanced at the wankou statue in Chengtou and hoped that this thing would not be used.
After he entered the city, he didn’t go back to Weili, but went directly to the yamen to visit Zhang Jiayin. Zhang Jiayin looked somberly. Obviously, he had something on his mind to see him coming. He took him to the drawing room in the second hall and took a seat before saying, "My dear brother, you came just when you didn’t come. I will send someone to find you. Even if there is a disaster, man, I will rely on your security to contribute."
"Eldest brother but heard the rumor?"
"You also know that?" After Zhang Jiayin asked this sentence, it suddenly occurred to him that this is nonsense. Even his own chief knows things. How could the Royal Guards not know? He pulled out a piece of torn paper from his sleeve. "This time it’s not just a rumor. I don’t know who has posted the poster on the outside wall of the county government. It depends. It’s someone who wants to rebel!"
Yang Chengzu saw that the broken piece of paper not only had the untrue truth of virtue and blood, but also had several major drawbacks in the state affairs, saying that the abuse of the people and adultery led to the failure of the state affairs, and he became guilty of hanging the people and cutting off the people, fighting for thieves and soldiers everywhere, otherwise it would be called killing all the cities.
Zhang Jiayin said, "This was when the white army was in chaos. When the soldiers didn’t arrive, they posted the poster to make people get confused without fighting. Besides, he knows whether he will come or not, but with this poster, you dare not guard against it. This means involves more energy than killing thieves. Compared with the white army in those days, we still knew who the enemy was at first, but now we don’t even know who the enemy is. Even our own hearts will be confused first."
Yang Chengzu knows that the government should show its strength at this time, otherwise this kind of rumor will probably lead to people’s panic. In addition, their own life is difficult on weekdays, their own contradictions or simply looking down on others may be stimulated by these rumors and turn into a civil commotion, and the city will be really finished by then.
He nodded. "Don’t worry, brother, that’s what the Royal Guards do. I certainly can’t allow these rumors to be broadcast at will. I must clean up these demon people."
Chapter sixty-five Investigation (2)
"So please good brother, if you need someone, people in my yamen will cooperate with you. How many people say that it’s their business that I allocated to you? You know that doing this is not good at military defense, and you can’t count on it. I’m afraid that if this campaign is really anti-thief, let’s hua county even be unable to stop the enemy soldiers from attacking."
The strength of the military guards in the south of Dahe River is not strong, not to mention that the military guards are slack now, that is, when the military guards in Hongwu Yongle flourished, this place in Henan was also full of celebrities and many poor products, and the military guards in Henan were weak when the military guards were first established, and now they are completely unbearable.
Although there is a hundred soldiers in the county, it is supposed that there should be a hundred soldiers, but in the past few years, when white thieves were making trouble, the county couldn’t even get twenty sergeants together. If there is a war, you still have to rely on patrol archers as the main force, otherwise you have to issue a strong people and hire strong people.
Zhang Jiayin people also took a lot of precautions after the incident of building tickets with incense, fearing that they would be blindsided. Therefore, they paid special attention to this posting and asked Yang Chengzu, "Do you think I should send an official letter to the governor’s office in Henan Province and ask Fu Tai to send a military force?"
"The problem is how do you write this letter? After all, we didn’t even see the official letter asking for help. "Yang Chengzu shook his head." Eldest brother, there is something wrong with this. Fighting in Huguang is very common in that place. Dozens of toasts? I’m not surprised that you hit me and I hit you and said that Huguang had a soldier’s disaster. But this incident is not as simple as a soldier’s disaster. Eldest brother is more knowledgeable than me. You should see the doorway inside. "
He put himself as a fairy teahouse and heard the news. Zhang Jiayin nodded and said, "Yes, I can really see the doorway here. We are very good and not easy to be quiet for a few years. I am afraid that this side will be messed up again, but it is not the time when Zhao Sui and other savages made this thing. I am afraid that several great people will be involved."
The two men didn’t look at each other again, but their meanings were all white. It was bound to involve some well-known people. If this big country’s eyes were orthodox, they had to calculate from the prince that when the prince was in trouble, he didn’t taste like a big man and finally got the country.
Yang Chengzuji has concluded that all these means can’t be separated from Ning Wang, but how to say this is a problem. He can’t say with Zhang Jiayin that we have definite evidence that Ning Wang is about to rebel, and we have to make preparations early.
The realization of Ning Wang’s reputation in the ruling and opposition is quite good. He is known as a wise king, and there are also some close friends among the courtiers. If he says that he rebelled, he will ensure that he will die faster than Ning Wang.
"Brother Lao, don’t worry too much. hua county is a small place and a big shot. We shouldn’t be in the mood to note here. I think the people are either rumors or rumors, but their goals will not be here. Let’s pay special attention to our own acre and three points, so we can’t help but think about other things."
Zhang Jiayin wry smile way: "I also want to be as free and easy as you are. It’s easier said than done. What’s more, if you say you don’t want to, don’t say you don’t want to. It’s a good thing that these refugees will feed on the existing several Fuken porridge sheds, but it’s difficult in case they stop feeding so many mouths. What’s worse, I’m worried about the Yellow River. Once the Yellow River breaks, the refugees will not be like this."
If you want to do a good job in Henan, you have to have a good friendship with the Dragon King, otherwise you will not be able to seal the handle firmly, and it depends on God’s face which place can withstand the flood and which place will flee from the country in the flood season.
Yang Chengzu said, "At this juncture, if someone encourages them, it is most likely to go wrong. But don’t worry, Brother Lao, we two brothers are not afraid to deal with these young players together. I’ll go and put this rumor to your yamen first. If anyone is caught, I’ll send it to your yamen. Please don’t mention it and reward them with hundreds of boards."
When he left, he first went to the teahouse and learned that the merchants had stayed in the shop. The first one didn’t give up for Ruxian, but not only left three times more tea money, but also agreed that Ruxian would come again one day to show him the pavement and leave his inn name.
Ruxian laughed. "If this cheap goods met me a few years ago, I called him travelling expenses and finally begged to go back here." She was afraid that Yang Chengzu would eat and explained, "I never said a word to him, but I don’t know how he identified me. This is also a strange thing."
Yang Chengzu said, "It’s not strange for Sister Xian to pick a beauty like this. It’s strange if he’s not tempted, but my woman deserves his bad luck if he dares to sliver. Come on, boys, I’ll go to the store to get someone."
