Chapter 748: Father-in-law, there's a woman who wants to see you
I was surprised to find that the leader of the alliance gave a thousand yuan reward for this book, and I couldn't help but be surprised, thank you, it's broken.
………….
Coming down from Meihualing, Gonggong Wei has been in a bad mood.
Since being born again, it has never been so heavy as it is today.
All the way by, the laughter of the father-in-law in the sedan car can no longer be heard, so that everyone can't help but wonder what makes the father-in-law so preoccupied.
Could it be that there is a purpose in Beijing?
The left and right are tied to the honor and disgrace of Father-in-law Wei, if His Majesty's will is unfavorable to Father-in-law Wei, the consequences for them can be imagined. Therefore, they are all apprehensive.
This made the entire halogen honor guard team a little heavier invisibly.
Outside Yangzhou City, Zheng Duo whispered outside the sedan chair to tell the silent father-in-law Wei that the sedan chair had arrived.
"Is it there?"
Gonggong Wei lifted the sedan curtain, and the Yangzhou city wall was clearly visible in his sight.
At this time, Yangzhou was divided into two cities: new and old.
During the Jiajing period, because the population was too much, the old city could not accommodate at all, hundreds of thousands of residents lived by the canal outside the city, which seriously affected the transportation of water, and the fish and dragons were mixed, and there were Japanese robbers along the river to intrude, so Yangzhou officials decided to build a new city, one is to protect the territory and the people, and the other is to completely solve the disadvantages of Yangzhou city being too small.
The new city is connected with the old city, after repairing, the two cities are combined with the main city, until now, it is the busiest place on the canal except for Linqing, and the prosperity is not lower than that of Suzhou and Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.
Gonggong Wei took away his thoughts, took out the waist card, and prepared to let Zheng Duo go to negotiate with Yangzhou officials about settling down at the post station, but officials in the city came, saying that they were ordered by the prefect to support Gonggong Wei and his party.
"He's a guy who can do things."
Gonggong Wei put the waist card on his lap and had a good impression of Yu Zhengxue, the prefect of Yangzhou.
is also a prefect, Yu Zhengxue is better than Wang Yinglin, the hometown of Wei's father-in-law and the prefect of Zhenjiang.
Whether it is the inner court or the outer court, they are all within the same system, how can they be closed doors?
It's okay not to compare, but when you compare, Gonggong Wei is angry, that Wang Yinglin is too much of a thing, if you don't give him face to Gonggong Wei, you don't give face to the emperor, how can you look for his anger when you turn around to dispel this depression in your heart.
In fact, Yu Zhengxue is also known as a direct minister, but he is more sleek and sophisticated than Wang Yinglin, and it is very clear that this minister Wei walked unscrupulously in the north and south of the river, committing all kinds of evil deeds, but the southern capital did not say a word, so it can be seen that the water behind this Wei must be very deep.
Therefore, he Yangzhou Mansion can't be this early bird, so even if he knew that the Wei eunuch was doing mischief in Gaoyou, copying and killing rich households, and forcing the guards, he was even more uneasy and kind when he came to Yangzhou Mansion, but Yu Zhengxue did not learn Zhenjiang to close the door, but on the contrary, he also ordered to go down and supply the Wei eunuch's entourage as usual.
This is what smart people do, whether it is officialdom or the people, it is always good to reach out and not hit people with smiling faces.
Yu Zhengxue arranged it this way, just not to give Eunuch Wei a chance to pick a wrong, nor to give Eunuch Wei a chance to come. As long as nothing happens in his Yangzhou City, he can explain the past up and down.
As for Gaoyou's affairs, Lord Yu has no time to deal with them at the moment, and it is also the affairs of the Yamen and the Ministry of War, the governor of Huai'an Caoyun, what does it have to do with him.
Father-in-law Wei really wanted to go into the city to see, what the scenery of the Slender West Lake and the Twenty-four Bridges was all over the place, but because of the plum blossom ridge, the mood was heavy, and the mood of playing in the mountains and rivers was gone. Goodbye, this Yangzhou Mansion will also do things, so he has the right to give face, did not refute the "good intentions", and ordered to go down and let the arrangements be made.
The accommodation that Yu Zhengxue arranged for Wei Gonggong was not a post station, but a three-story small building near the canal, known as Zuiyuan Building. The left side of this building was recently emptied by Yangzhou Mansion, and it was best to place the entourage of Father-in-law Wei.
Seeing that the eunuch Wei was not dissatisfied with the prefect's arrangement, the officials in the city who came to arrange it were all relieved. They were really afraid that the Wei eunuchs would be abnormal, and they would have to bring troops into the city, if that happened, the people would be unlucky, and the rich would suffer.
Now, the notoriety of the Wei eunuch who is greedy for money and profit has spread in the north and south of the river, and the people have just returned it, and the rich people have their eyelids jumping when they hear the three words of the Wei eunuch.
You must know that in the eyes of the eunuchs from all over the world who are beating Beijing at the moment, the word rich is the original sin.
And in Yangzhou City, the rich businessmen are the most in Jiangbei, if you really want to let the hungry wolf of Eunuch Wei enter the city, then what is it?
After arriving at the Zuiyuan Tower, Gonggong Wei sent an order to the officers and soldiers to settle down and rest, and went up to the top floor of the Zuiyuan Building to enjoy the scenery of the canal.
Not long after, the door came down to report that a businessman named Zhao Shengjie had come to visit Grandpa Wei.
Father-in-law Wei asked people to bring it over, and as soon as he saw Father-in-law Wei, Zhao Shengjie offered some "heart", and then the right to be the proprietor introduced the scenery in front of Father-in-law Wei.
"Father-in-law, please see, that is the small Qinhuai River in the city, there are five bridges on the river, such as Xiaoshi Bridge, Ying'en Bridge, Kaiming Bridge, Tongsi Bridge, Taiping Bridge, etc., the left side of the river is the old city, and the right side of the river is the new city..."
Following Zhao Shengjie's gestures, Gonggong Wei saw a surging crowd of people in the distance, and the streets and markets were full of merchants, vendors and ordinary people.
Wei Gonggong sighed with emotion: "There are so many people in this Yangzhou City." ”
Zhao Shengjie said with a smile: "Yes, Yangzhou has a large population, to put it mildly, as long as it is a large set, it is difficult to move an inch, and if you don't push hard, you don't want to move a step." ”
"It's not a good thing to have a lot of people."
Father-in-law Wei's inexplicable words made Zhao Shengjie a little confused, why is it not a good thing that there are many people?
Father-in-law Wei didn't explain to the great proprietor of Yangzhou, chuckled, and his eyes focused on the market in the distance.
If there were no Qing soldiers, the 800,000 people in Yangzhou should have lived well, and every time they rushed to the market during the festival, they would be crowded with people at the market as they are now, but they were crowded.
If there were no Qing soldiers, hundreds of thousands of fathers and villagers in this city would be able to drink a little wine every few days, listen to a drama, see the flowers in spring, smell insects in autumn, and gather together to be happy and happy.
If there were no Qing soldiers, the prosperous Yangzhou cityscape would have become an eternal freeze frame of history, just like the Qingming Riverside map.
Now, there are no ifs.
Nurhachi was still busy conquering Korqin and Yehe, but he didn't know how swollen this black-faced old man had reached at the moment.
Zhen Ying, "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" should also be familiar with it, but I don't know if he has a good relationship with his father, if not, has he ever thought about not being Li Jiancheng, but Li Shimin?
As for the girl Ye Hedong, she must be hooking up with a Jurchen hero behind our family's back, and she must pull the black-faced old man of Tunguska off the horse.
Well, that cheap teacher Yang Hao will also do it to the barbarians, and it is expected that there will be good news in the next two months.
It's a pity that this cheap teacher will definitely not do what the cheap student thinks, and immediately take action against Jianzhou after solving the problem. And this teacher has been less than half a year since he left Liaofu.
Gonggong Wei shook his head, thousands of miles away, no matter how much he had the heart, he couldn't reach it.
For now, it's better to get his maritime affairs done and make a fortune.
When Gonggong Wei was about to ask Zhao Shengjie about the situation of "foreign businessmen" here in Jiangnan, Zhao Shengjie hesitated, and then told Gonggong Wei one thing.
"The daughter-in-law of the Zhao family? … What did she come to us for? ”
Grandpa Wei was very strange.
