Domineering Daming

Chen Qiyu has been silent in Shuntian Mansion for several years. There are two main reasons. One is that there are too many gods there, and it is difficult to use it.Secondly, Shuntian Mansion is in a state of waste, and there are not so many troubles in Nanzhili.

He had been suppressed for a long time, and wanted to do something very much. Now that something happened, his heart was surging like a tide, but his face remained calm.

He didn't wait for Zheng Youyuan to speak again, and said: "The governor's yamen can't just sit and watch, Mr. Feng, you go to the Yingtianfu yamen and see what we can do to help. If necessary, open a large warehouse in Yingtianfu to release grain and stabilize the price of grain. !"

Feng Jiangfeng looked excited, got up and said: "Obey!"

Zheng Youyuan looked at Feng Jiangfeng's back, hesitating, hesitant to speak.

Chen Qiyu saw it all, but didn't point it out, and said directly: "Master Zheng, please go to Suzhou Mansion to check the taxation and other aspects of the first half of the year. After returning, we will hold an enlarged meeting to discuss the second half of the year. Specific plans..."

Zheng Youyuan had no choice but to get up, raised his hand and said, "Okay."

Chen Qiyu watched Zheng Youyuan leave, summoned the principal, and instructed in a low voice: "You go to the local tax bureau, the Department of Commerce and other relevant yamen, let them prepare the materials, file a complaint with Dali Temple, and the Law Enforcement Bureau will follow up, and wait for the procedures to be completed. , according to the law..."

The chief glanced outside and said, "My lord, if this happens, there may be a lot of trouble."

A murderous look flashed across Chen Qiyu's eyes, and he said rather inscrutablely: "You don't know Mr. Sun Ge, he is different from Mr. Bi Ge, and those who still think about living their old days will not have a good life in the future!"

The master understood, and said: "Yes. The next official will do it right away, and make everything perfect without missing a single flaw."

Chen Qiyu nodded, then lowered his voice and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "I guess the emperor has already arrived in Nanjing, please let the people below do things more safely. , I can’t go on as a governor…”

The principal was startled, knowing that his lord was Zhu Xu's confidant, and his guess was probably true, so he immediately said: "Your official understands."

Chen Qiyu waved his hand. Just as the principal was about to leave, Chen Qiyu suddenly said: "Send a letter to Shenlong Mansion, saying that I want to visit Mrs. Chen."

Mrs. Chen, that is, Bumbutai.

Not to mention the importance of Shenlong Mansion, just talking about Bumbutai's identity cannot be ignored, and he must go there.

The master responded and hurried to make arrangements.

The movement in Ying Tianfu, or in other words Jiangsu, was so big that Zhu Xu couldn't hide it.Before he reached the ground, a series of situations appeared in his eyes.

Looking at the letter and listening to the return in his ear, Zhu Xu rubbed his chin, turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and said, "Notify the Jiangsu Branch of the Royal Bank of China to give Tong Zhengxiao a loan of 100 million silver, and the payment will be made."

Cao Huachun said: "Yes."

Zhu Xu sat in the carriage, continued to pinch his chin, and said to himself with a smile: "Tell me, do these people know that Sun Chuanting is about to take over and act positively, or do they have to do this when the time is up?"

"Slaves don't know." Cao Huachun quickly answered.He knew very well that there were only a handful of officials in the entire Ming Dynasty who could catch Zhu Xu's eyes.

Zhu Xu laughed, shook his head and said: "Forget it, I don't bother to argue with them, let's see."

The sentence "Let's take a look" means that Zhu Xu has been paying attention to Jiangsu for a while.

Cao Huachun made a few secret glances, lowered his head, and didn't say a word.

Zhu Xu was sitting in the carriage, and slowly felt a breeze and a faint fragrance.

Zhu Xu opened the curtains and looked out the window.There are still sporadic people planting rice seedlings in the field. From the perspective of the eyes, it is a vast expanse of green, with no end in sight.

Zhu Xu was in a good mood, and looked at a farmhouse not far ahead, and said, "Stop the car, let's walk."

Cao Huachun waved his hand, and Cao Bianjiao ordered people to prepare.

Although they seem to be low-key, a team of one hundred and ten people is still eye-catching. I don't know how many people have already looked up to this side.

Zhu Xu went straight to the farmer at the head of the ridge, and did not rush to approach. A family of six or seven people had already occupied the door. An old man with a face of seventy, but actually over fifty raised his hand, looked at Zhu Xu's group, and said: "This Brother, I don’t know where he came from, where is he going?”

Zhu Xu raised his hand politely, holding a box of pastries in his hand, and said: "To tell you the truth, we were going to Yingtian Mansion, but it is said that there are some troubles inside. We wanted to find another place to settle down, and we lost our way for a while. I also ask the old man to show me where we can spend the night, not only people, but also a lot of goods."

The old man glanced at the box, and quickly said: "I dare not accept it. If you ask for directions, you have to turn around and go to Shangyuan. There are still many big inns outside the city, and you can stay in batches."

Naturally, Zhu Xu didn't want to ask for directions. Seeing that the old man didn't accept the box, he turned back, glanced at the farmland, and said with a smile: "Old man, I heard that the price of grain in Nanzhili has increased a lot recently, have you made money? "

The old man's family was very wary of Zhu Xu and the others. The old man showed a wry smile and said: "Little brother, you are joking, [-]% of our land has to be handed over to the owner, and the rest is exorbitant taxes and expenses. Where can I earn anything..."

Zhu Xu was startled, and said, "Have you sold all your land?"

The old man took another look at Zhu Xu, and said, "Little brother, the accent sounds like a northerner, right?"

"It's just a newcomer, and the old man laughs at me." Zhu Xu played Xiaobai to the end.

The old man glanced at the people in front of and behind Zhu Xu, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, more than [-]% of our land in Nanzhili is given to those famous masters, even if it is sold, it is sold to them. They are tenants, four or five generations of our ancestors have been..."

Zhu Xu naturally knew these things well, and said with a strange expression on his face: "I heard in the capital that the imperial court restricted the rent ratio for you, and gave you tax exemption, shouldn't it?"

The old man shook his head and said: "I have heard what the little brother said, but it has no effect on us. How should we live our lives?"

Zhu Xu clearly heard the old man's vigilance, and what he said was reserved, so he pondered and said, "Then, what does the old man think of the imperial court's 'New Deal'?"

The old man was stunned, and immediately raised his hand and said: "Forgive me for my ignorance, these are all matters of the imperial court, what can I think about it?"

Zhu Xu opened his mouth to say something, but finally swallowed it back, saying, "I'm bothering you, old man."

The old man's family hugged each other and watched Zhu Xu and the others leave with vigilance and anxiety in their eyes.

The old man frowned, turned around and told his family not to talk nonsense.

Zhu Xu got into the carriage with a silent expression and sighed softly in his heart.

Before Zhu Xu digested his emotions, Cao Huachun whispered outside Zhu Xu's curtain: "Your Majesty."

Zhu Xu opened the curtains, and saw dozens of thick and strong men with sticks coming towards him aggressively not far away.

Zhu Xu squinted his eyes, got off the carriage directly, and stood at the front, watching a group of murderous people rushing towards him.

Most of these people were bare-chested, with big sticks in their hands, and fierce expressions on their faces. The leader was a man in his 30s, with a thin bamboo pole, triangular eyes, and a knife in his hand, looking at Zhu Xu with sinister eyes. A group of people said in a cold voice: "Tell me, which yamen are you from? Have you never called it? If you don't show some color to you today, you won't know what the name of this land is!"

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Xu said calmly and with a smile, "You only have dozens of people, and I have hundreds of people. Do you really dare to do it?"

Triangle Eyes sneered, and said: "Looks like another young man from the north, let me tell you, as soon as the fighting starts, hundreds of people will rush over from nearby. You don't even think about leaving today, let your superiors come and set you free!" Apologize for the banquet, or all of your legs will be broken!"

There was a touch of indifference in Zhu Xu's eyes. The underlying operation method had already taken shape in his mind. He clenched his hands behind his back into fists, stared coldly at the triangular eyes, and said, "Then you should tell me about this land first." What's your last name?"

The triangular eyes sneered, and said: "It's true to say that you are young, but to tell you the truth, this land belongs to us..."

"Third brother, this kid is trying to trick you, so let's hit him directly!" Before Triangle Eye finished speaking, a person behind him interrupted him.

The triangular eyes opened immediately, and burst into anger, he said: "Okay, okay, dare to cheat with your dog, hit me!"

Dozens of strong men rushed towards Zhu Xu and the others wielding big sticks. They were obviously very experienced, and they seemed to be afraid that Zhu Xu and the others would escape, so they immediately wanted to surround them.

Cao Bianjiao looked indifferent, and with a wave of his hand, more than 20 guards drew their weapons and rushed forward.

At the same time, Cao Bianjiao whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "The others are not far away, and they will arrive soon."
