The Journey of the Playboy

Zhou An's grandfather and grandson led people to settle down in a three-way zone in Nanyi.

There are many mountains in Nanyi, and each tribe has its own patriarch.The imperial court will appoint appeasement envoys, but in fact the imperial court does not have much control over the local area.

There is also a tacit understanding between the two sides, which means that the well water does not violate the river water. Every year, the tribe of the mountain people will import some local specialties, and the imperial court will give some rewards to the tribe to maintain the superficial peace.

The local tax revenue mainly depends on some Han people who live at the foot of the mountain. However, because of the underdeveloped commerce, these places are considered barren land. The officials who come to this place are also frustrated in officialdom. They make mistakes or it doesn’t matter. sent over.

A large sum of money was spent, and the grandfather and grandson bought a big mountain, built a house on the mountain, and made the protection of the mountain airtight.Then it is to find a venue to make some bows and crossbows.

There is also the smelting technology for transforming ironware.In this era, whoever masters the most advanced iron control technology can take the lead in the battle for the world.There is a saying that "sharpening a knife is not a mistake in chopping firewood". Whether the knife is good or not is very important.

In addition, I bought a large area of ​​land, repaired Zhuangzi, planted some local specialty cash crops, and opened up a business road to collect specialty products from various tribes, give them a good price, and sell them to other places.

Nanyi has plenty of rain, sunshine, and a variety of plant species. However, business has not been developed. Many foreign merchants will deliberately lower prices when they come to Nanyi to collect specialty products.The people in the tribe don’t have much experience in business, so if you don’t agree, there are no better channels for cashing in. If you agree, you can’t earn too much money, so you can barely make ends meet.But there is no other choice. In order to exchange some food, oil and clothing, etc., I finally had to sell the things at a low price.

But Zhou An was different. The price he gave was very reasonable, and he followed the path of small profits but quick turnover.On the one hand, he also hopes to do his part to make life better for those around him.As long as you live, you have to do something to prove that you have been here.Secondly, he also needs to be looked after.Since you want to seize the world, and you don't have military power in your hands, you can only do this first.

Now is not a good time for rebellion. People always follow the general trend. The right time, the right place, and the harmony of people always have one or two things.The common people like to live and work in peace and contentment, and many people would rather be a dog of peace than a troubled person.If you follow the trend, you will get twice the result with half the effort. If you go against the trend, you may die without a place to die.

Although he is in Nanyi, Zhou An still pays close attention to the news in the capital.

For example, the emperor was almost... Well, everyone understands.Later, it was Zuodu Censor Wang who stepped forward and exposed the truth of the matter (the emperor is finally famous, Wei Jia Hai Nei yo);

Mr. Wang is old and has retired (it is clear that the matter of catching bastards is a feud in the emperor's heart. Seeing that he is not pleasing to the eye, he asked people to go home early for the elderly);

The emperor's new concubine Yufei's natal younger sister fell in love with Zheng Guogong's eldest son. The emperor called Zheng Guogong privately and wanted to get along with Zheng Guogong's younger sister. Zheng Guogong might not be happy, because his son already has a baby kiss She is still a well-matched noble daughter, and she also felt that it was not easy to explain to her in-laws, or she thought Concubine Yu's family background was low, and Concubine Yu's natal family was just a family of seventh-rank officials, so she declined this marriage.As a result, not long after Zheng Guogong’s son got married, the emperor turned around and gave Yufei’s younger sister to Zheng Guogong’s son as a noble concubine (the emperor has not changed his original intention for so many years, and insisted on running on the road of giving concubines to others);

More and more Zhuangzi were purchased, and Zhou An also recruited and trained more and more people in these Zhuangzi.Usually, when others look at them, they are sharecroppers.I also do some farm work, but more often, I can still practice.

At the end of the year, the state capital where Zhou An was located sent a magistrate Mr. Liu.I don't know how many lifetimes Mr. Liu has been poor, and he doubled the exorbitant taxes when he took office.The people are miserable.

How can this be done?

The time has come when the people need him!

Zhou An directly led people to take down the magistrate and his subordinates.

Let's catch the first trial, this magistrate is named Liu Feng, he was born in a branch of Li Guogong's mansion, and he was a Jinshi ten years ago.He has a younger sister of the same father and mother, named Liu Lian, well, the same name as a certain fruit.

Liu Lian married Liu Fan, the second son of Liu Guogong.The two gave birth to a son and a daughter.For some unknown reason, Liu Fan hooked up with Princess Changning's sister-in-law and the second daughter of Marquis Weiyuan.The two may have fallen in love at first sight, anyway, it was thunder and fire.Marquis Weiyuan's daughter must not be a concubine.In fact, if you can't be a concubine, you should still be able to get married.But Liu Fan did not take the usual path, and Liu Lian died of illness.During the hot filial piety period, the second daughter of Marquis Weiyuan came in.

At first, Liu Feng didn't think much about it, but after his nieces and nieces died unexpectedly one after another, he felt that something was wrong. It might be that the scumbags didn't pay attention to Liu Feng, or something. Anyway, there were leaks everywhere. The investigation found out that the two hooked up when Liu Lian was alive.As for the accident of the niece and nephew, let alone.The girl from Marquis Weiyuan doesn't want to be a stepmother.I also don't want multiple children to inherit the family business.

Liu Feng collected evidence and reported it to Dali Temple.It stands to reason that the evidence is conclusive, and the next step is the result of the obvious.In the end, Marquis Weiyuan found Wu Jingshan, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, suppressed the evidence, cleared up some traces, and found someone to transfer Liu Feng out of the capital to the land of Nanyi.

Generally, officials who have arrived at this place, unless there is a special opportunity, it will be very difficult to return to Beijing.In fact, Liu Feng also encountered several waves of assassinations on the way, and several loyal servants disappeared to protect him.

Liu Feng's parents are gone, only such a younger sister is gone, so I hate it a bit.He had approached Liu Guogong before, and wanted to ask Liu Guogong to help him seek justice.Marquis Weiyuan had actually been down and out for many years, but it was only later that he climbed up to Princess Changning and his family had a son-in-law, so he gradually gained a firm foothold in the capital.But Liu Guogong's mansion is different. Over the years, the family still has a lot of power in the court.

Unexpectedly, Liu Guogong was unwilling to extend his hand because he talked about him from left to right.He only found out later that Marquis Weiyuan gave a concubine granddaughter to Duke Liu as a concubine.

Liu Feng has no hope of returning to Beijing now, and there is nothing he can do to seek justice for his sister. It is not easy to make achievements in this place, so he wants to go left, or stir up a civil disturbance.In general civil unrest, there will be a joint trial by the third division, and then he will tell the adults of the third division about Weiyuanhou's black-hearted past.

Zhou An was a little speechless, and said to himself, boy, you are at a newspaper office.

Although it is definitely wrong to do so, how should I put it, I don't know people's suffering, and I don't persuade people to be kind.Zhou An also didn't know, if he fell to this point and didn't have so much experience, would he think left and do such a thing.

Cang purlin knows etiquette well enough.It doesn't make sense for you to ask too much from a person who can't eat.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Zhou An will let Liu Feng go. Some things, once done, have to bear the consequences.Therefore, Liu Feng was still the magistrate on the surface, but Zhou An was the one who made the decision in the dark.

Zhou An promised that if what he said was true, as long as he was honest and obedient, he could avenge him in the future.

Liu Feng might have really become a little numb, and agreed to Zhou An's request.

Therefore, under Zhou An's operation, the tax was not only reduced, but part of it was cancelled, and at the same time, the economy was vigorously developed.

Only when people's livelihood gets better and better, will the taxes collected in the future increase.

If you want to get rich, build roads first.In the counties under the jurisdiction of the state capital, vigorous road construction activities have also been launched.It's okay, the Zhou family is rich.

Besides, once the road is connected, business will become more and more active, and more and more taxes will be collected to subsidize the cost of road construction.

The county magistrates under the mansion also found that with the construction of roads, the county's fiscal revenue has increased a lot compared to before.Even, many county governments welcomed gift-giving merchants.

Generally, when merchants arrive in the local area, they always have to honor the local officials with some silver taels, begging for cover.But in the past, business was blocked, no one came, and the county magistrate had no extra money, but now it is different.Even some yamen servants gave gifts.

In this way, relying on the absolute strength of the □□ era thinking in the era of cold weapons, Zhou An quietly took down many officials in Nanyi, and slowly took the local military regime in Nanyi into his hands.

Anyone who can go to Nanyi to be an official, regardless of whether it is civil or military, is not happy in the court, otherwise, he would not be squeezed here.

In some counties, even if you want to buy a chicken, it is not easy to buy.There is no sale.There is no way, the economy is backward, and it is difficult to see even a small stall at the gate of the county government, let alone a shop.

Anyway, working with Zhou An, at least I and my family can eat hot and spicy food, and I can save some, and the people in Yexia are also satisfied. Let’s live one day at a time. Survival is the most important thing, and everyone can think about it. .

Zhou Jiancheng wrote to the patriarch, saying that he had something important to do and asked the patriarch to bring some elites of the clan over.

Two months later, the patriarch brought over a dozen elites from the clan.Hearing that Zhou An was about to rebel, he was immediately terrified and almost lost his temper.

You are too brave, don't die.

But it's impossible for them to report on Zhou An.Go to sue, what can they do?Maybe I'll die just like that!It's better to pretend you don't know anything.

Zhou An introduced the current situation to the clansmen, and asked everyone what they thought. If he stayed, he must reuse him. These days, the relationship between the clansmen is still very solid, not to mention anything else. , to connect everyone closely.

In the end, the patriarch went back, and all the people he brought stayed.

Zhou An had already come here, and they felt that if they followed suit, it might be a rich occasion.But betraying Zhou An, it's really hard to say what can be lost.The Zhou family is not short of money, last time Zhou An gave each of them a lot of money, which was regarded as compensation for everyone's escape.Now, it's less expensive.It's better to fight.

The main reason is that Zhou An has quietly taken down Nanyi.The southern half is basically obtained.The basics are in place, it's too late for them to join in, but at least they are clansmen, and they have the opportunity to board the boat, otherwise, they might not be willing to accept it.After all, their literary and martial arts are not good enough, and their popularity is not high.

Anyway, just follow Zhou An. If they take down the country and they come to join him, it's hard to say whether they can get a good job by then.

Even if he died, his family members were still living elsewhere with their surnames hidden and their names buried, so it wouldn't hurt him.

Another year later, Duke Wei's son missed the opportunity to fight, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the [-] army. The entire family of Duke Wei's mansion was imprisoned. As soon as the evidence of food and payment was brought to Dali Temple, the third department of the Dali Temple Yushitai Division of the Ministry of Punishment will have a joint trial.

Zhou An felt that the opportunity had come.In recent years, he has also paid close attention to the news of some important officials and relatives in the court.

Zhou An immediately sent Zhou Jinyuan, the third son of the patriarch, to bring people into the capital in disguise.

When Zhou Jinyuan led his people to the capital, the case happened to start trial.

However, unexpectedly, on the day before the trial, several key witnesses were killed one after another.

With no witnesses, the trial was anticlimactic. The son of Duke Wei's mansion could not prove his grievances. Duke Wei was sentenced to beheaded and exiled.

Zhou An's planning over the years has always had something to do with him in the capital.Besides, the subordinates also control many officials, and there are always people who have three relatives and two good friends in the capital.Zhou Jinyuan first walked away from the relationship, and let the Weiguo family members be exiled before the main branch beheaded.

This time in exile is nothing to worry about.Early or late makes no difference.

Generally, in this case, the main branch is beheaded first, and then the offshoot tribes collect the body of the main branch, bury it, and then exile.Before the decapitation, he was given a decapitated meal. No one would make things difficult for such a thing.

However, many people used money to prevent these clansmen from having the opportunity to collect the corpses. If they had money, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment would not fail to make money.

As a result, all the clansmen were exiled early.

When the clansmen left the city, Zhou Jinyuan arranged for people to meet them, and then used the hands of the city to rob the sky prison and rescued the people from Weiguo's mansion. -------------This is Zhou An's meaning, try to rescue Weiguo's mansion as much as possible.

It's not about the Holy Mother of Zhou'an, it's just that since the founding of the country, Weiguo Duke's Mansion has been stationed at the border. Many children of the family went to the border when they were in their teens. In the end, the horse leather shroud was returned. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the patron saint of the Daqing Dynasty.

Zhou An really didn't want to see such a family that shed blood and tears for the country die being framed by villains.

Of course, there is another thing, he is about to rebel, and he is short of generals.The son of Wei Guogong is quite brave, and he also cherishes his talents.

Thanks to the grace of saving his life, he managed to take over Duke Wei's mansion very smoothly, and Duke Wei was not disappointed. Their family has been loyal and good for generations. Unexpectedly, someone in the court would shoot sniper arrows and kill their whole family.

Are you waiting to die if you don't rebel?

The clansmen of Duke Wei's mansion had been dispersed and hid on the road.In the past few years, Zhou An had placed a few Zhuangzi early on the road, in preparation for such a day.

The people of Weiguo were hidden in a house in the capital.

Then, Zhou Jinyuan spread leaflets all over the capital, which meant that the Duke of Wei's mansion was framed by traitors, and the person who framed the mansion of Duke of Wei is now the one sitting on the dragon chair.He felt that Duke Wei's mansion had made great achievements, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly, so he let the servant of the household department sink his hands.

-------------------------- This is half-truth.It must be true that someone was framed by Weiguo Gongfu, but Zhou Jinyuan did not find out who was behind the scenes. However, it is indeed strange that all the witnesses died before the trial began. People can die quietly in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Yes, not many.

Of course, the key point is that at the very least, this matter is very suspicious. The Duke of Wei has been loyal and good for generations, and there are more than 300 people in his family.

Even if the emperor didn't do it, he still knew who was behind the scenes and helped cover it up.In this case, it's better to take the blame.Besides, they are about to rebel, so they must not blame their opponents.

Wei Guogong's surrender can also be regarded as an example for the veterans of the Daqing Dynasty. ------------------ As long as you surrender, I may have a place for you here.

At the same time, Zhou An raised troops in Nanyi, fighting in the name of "the Qing emperor's side".

I don’t know if it’s because of the tactics of attacking the heart, or because the emperor is too unpopular, and everyone is too disappointed with the emperor’s performance in the past few years, or because everyone is sad about what happened to Weiguo’s mansion, or because of Weiguo’s high prestige, or because of them Zhou An's weapon technology is advanced, anyway, Zhou An successfully fought all the way to the capital.

When they arrived in the capital, the emperor had already fled from the palace.Zhou An took advantage of the opportunity to ascend the throne.He made his grandfather Zhou Jian the Supreme Emperor.

The last emperor of the previous dynasty had lost power, so it was easy for Zhou An to find someone to investigate the affairs of the Duke of Xiawei, and it really made Zhou Jinyuan guess right.The last emperor of the previous dynasty was jealous of the Weiguo government, thinking that their achievements were outstanding.

Zhou An was speechless.

Lo and behold, the Lord is no longer covered.It means the Lord has run away.

As for Liu Feng's matter, Zhou An didn't care about it. Now that the Weiyuan Marquis's mansion is scattered, Liu Feng must know what to do.

After Zhou An ascended the throne, he bestowed all the meritorious ministers.

Wei Guogong was changed to Zhen Guogong.

Zhou Jinyuan named Jin King, and the old patriarch named Zhou King. .

Several other clansmen also conferred titles ranging from duke to earl according to their merits.

The old patriarch did Zongzheng.

The clansmen are also very happy.They have become a clan, and no one will bully them in the future.

Although he didn't get a title, his status was different. Besides, the old patriarch couldn't be more respected. If he had nothing to do, he would go to the old patriarch's house and walk around the houses of the noble clansmen more often. He would be a smart person.

Zhou An adopted Zhou Jinyuan's newborn son, named Zhou Lingmo, and raised him in the palace.

Zhou An raised the children himself, and when Zhou Lingmo was 20 years old and could take charge of his own affairs, Zhou An abdicated, passed the throne to Zhou Lingmo, and became the Supreme Emperor.

Zhou An observed for another two years. Zhou Lingmo was still relatively stable and decisive in his actions. Zhou An was very satisfied and left this world.

"Thank you." The original master said.

"You really have to thank me, you can enjoy the blessings directly, remember, if you don't die, you won't die."

"Don't worry, I will only enjoy the blessings in the future and ignore the government affairs." The original owner replied, he is really not familiar with this matter, it is better not to interfere, so as not to hurt the relationship between father and son.
