Speaking of Dong Xiaowan's past, Li Xiangqian also sighed very much, the original Bai Fumei and wealthy family, but he was betrayed by his buddies and hollowed out the family business, which is why, Li Xiangqian said that in the classical era, it was also helpless for people to buy land and keep property.

However, in a situation where there is no accounting system and no strict property retention system, this is almost a stupid thing to send sheep into the mouth of the tiger, and it is not comparable at all.

The shopkeeper can be red-mouthed and white-toothed, and it is obviously a year of making a lot of money, saying that it is a loss-making business, and the reason is also very ready-made, the government is blackmailing, the year is not good, the thieves rob, anyway, there are always many reasons, and they are all true, this era treats businessmen, business, completely polarized, big businessmen rely on making friends with the government, they can do not have to pay taxes, and they are very moisturized, and the small businessmen themselves are also very poor, but with a business word, nourishment has become the target of everyone's bloodsucking.

There is only constant appeasement, of course, money and material rewards are also indispensable, and now among the entire Elders, there is no standard for the salary of internal personnel, basically as long as everyone looks at it, it will be passed like this, and the arbitrariness is very large, of course, before everyone has an understanding of the new time and space, it is better to rashly stipulate a price that is likely to be unsuitable, it is better to delegate power first, and then let the front-line people do a good job according to local conditions.

"By the way, Ling Tang and others can come and live together, I think, it's no problem to live in your house, it's okay to live in a few more people, the property rights are all yours, and no one can take them away."

Dong Xiaowan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid of those clansmen." ”

Li Xiangqian naturally knows a lot about Dong Xiaowan, and knows that she has some so-called Dong family members, seeing the mother and daughter who died as the head of the household, instead of helping, they kept shouting that their clansmen's clan money was swallowed up by the Dong family's mother and daughter, and asked them to hand it over.

Of course, that splash skin is a little famous in Dong Xiaowan, and after you can charge a lot of money for a drink, she also came to make trouble, naturally she kept saying that she ruined the reputation of his Dong family and asked her to stop being so cloudy, of course, Dong Xiaowan had no choice but to give that person a sum of money, and he naturally left without a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, soon after the money was spent, they came to make trouble again, until a few sisters who couldn't stand it invited some well-known local high-ranking officials to beat them away.

Li Xiangqian thought for a while and said: "That's it, I'll ask someone to send a letter to your mother, and bring people to the imperial capital, which can be regarded as reassuring your heart, as for those clansmen, hehe, they have the ability to come to the imperial capital, I have a way to send them to the northeast to open up the wasteland, how about it?" ”

Dong Xiaowan agreed, he looked at Li Xiangjun again, and said, "What about you, do you need to bring anyone to the north?" ”

Li Xiangjun shook her head, she knew the roots, and said, "No need, help me bring a message to my mother at home." ”

After a long time, I saw that life in the north was indeed much more stable, and my heart was relieved, although I was still a little uncomfortable with life in the north, but at least it was much stronger than the days without security.

The letter was naturally delivered quickly, although in the early spring, the trade route of the south and north transportation had been stopped, but in order to get extra money, as well as the need to return excess funds, so the millennium falcon would occasionally run short distances to transport the materials that the north and south sides lacked, and take the road of batches, of course, the volume of transportation could not replace the original Cao Yun, but for the elders who knew the roots, the Qing Gang, which indirectly led to the demise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, definitely needed attention, so the idea was to eat slowly one bite at a time.

Sun Datou is the agent of the Presbyterian Association in Nanjing, of course, he was originally penniless, but he suddenly became rich and suddenly rich, and he couldn't control himself, but fortunately, in his understanding, the elders are all fairy-like characters, they know everything, so they naturally don't dare to be too presumptuous, and a letter written by Li Xiangjun to Li Zhenli, the sect secretary, was naturally sent to the place as soon as possible.

Although in the imperial capital and even in the north, the original government-run education department has been directly "privatized", even if it is the elders who have lost their temperance, they can't imagine that they have personally opened a brothel, and they have to admire Guan Zhong's vision is simply invincible, but in Nanjing, the original system is still perfectly presented here, because it is different from the original history, the Jurchens who occupied the imperial capital, in order to alleviate the food crisis, must go crazy south, the elders are more like a patient self-service barbecue restaurant diners, Prefer to place the skewers on a grilling sheet and cook them slowly.

The railway is repaired little by little, and wherever it is repaired, it will be assigned to the banner of the elders, at least in the process of construction, through the outsourcing of the project, the peasants will also be bought over, and become the embracement of the elders, well, you ask what to do after the railway is repaired? Damn, I don't have the ability, I won't go to the Northeast or anything, take the subsidy to farm, I haven't heard of it, the official cow seeds.

At this time, Jiangnan, due to the further loss of control, although there is no need to send grain to the north every year, but how can the tax collection be delayed, and even in the past, it has to be transported to the north, so many people are not highly motivated, and now, directly corrupted, no one knows, so there are countless people who are more desperate to urge the payment of the field tax, and can not afford to pay the field tax, but the people who have no money to live before the rice harvest can only sell their sons and daughters, sell the land, and let the landlord further become a big landlord.

If the landlord of this era had the ability to write lyrics, he would definitely sing it, I really want to live for another 500 years, nonsense, there is such a lawless era, why don't I want to live for 500 years.

But in the world, it is between bad and worse, many people will feel that in the original history, in 1645, the collapse of Nanming, and in history, the rout of Nanjing in 1948 is similar, in fact, it is also very simple, is Nanming really just?

Compared with the Manchu Qing Dynasty at that time, the Nanming was just another example of inhumanity, the relationship between the crow and the black bull.

Therefore, in the Teaching Workshop Division, more girls have been sold here, and there are really many lovely people in them, but for Hou Fangyu, the mood is already very bad.

He is well-informed, and the major events in the teaching department are naturally known, Li Zhenli received Li Xiangjun's letter, and he naturally immediately ran over to listen to the news, since the cause of the Donglin Party was destroyed, and the bureaucrats of the Nanjing Sixth Department basically lost their de jure jurisdiction over other provinces, although many Donglin Party officials are still sitting in their seats, but they no longer do anything to make the "Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty" and "Donglin Full of the Dynasty", but concentrate on making money crazy.

It can be said that at this moment, Nanjing is exactly the same as Nanjing in 1949 in another time and space, except that there is a Taiwan over there that can abscond, and the wealth of a 5,000-year-old inheritance and more than 2,000 counties can be emptied to more than a dozen counties, and then these dozen counties have the face to turn around and mock the whole of China, you say, how shameless?

Of course, according to the degree of shamelessness, the Donglin Party still has a fight with them, and Hou Fangyu basically only has the money left by his father's corruption at this time, and a talent can not be an official, and the hope of winning the imperial examination, or "eclectic talents" is also disappointed, at this time, no one wants to be troublesome, make money, play with women, and finally go crazy.

"Stinky woman, stinky woman."

Hou Fangyu looked at the piece of paper in front of him, Li Xiangjun only brought her the letter to the old bustard Li Zhenli who brought her up, and the handwriting was also very simple, she knew that the handwriting was in a suspicious place, and after knowing Li Xiangqian's "secret", it was naturally not good to say anything to the outside world, just a dozen words: The child is already in the north, food and clothing are worry-free, don't read it.

The proper telegram style is also Li Xiangjun's writing experience after reading many later generations of materials specially used to brainwash her, concise and to the point, vernacular.

The handwriting is also hers, but Hou Fangyu is dissatisfied, why not give it to him, why not write to him? It shows that the slut has forgotten him, not to mention, since this letter comes from the agent of the demon in Nanjing who "used evil magic" to bewitch the people to make them noble and noble, then there must be a big problem behind it, which shows that Li Xiangjun let the group of demons take him away, and he has obviously been confused by the demons, maybe at this time, he has been completely played with by the demons, thinking of this, he hates himself even more for why he pays attention to what manners, and does not give her ......

"Don't be angry anymore, Brother Hou, we are all sympathetic, now that the demon is powerful, we can't afford to provoke it."

The same is true for Mao Xiang, the woman he fancied also disappeared at the same time, and he was also taken away by those "demons", he suddenly looked at the newly recognized "friend" next to him, and said: "Yesterday, this Brother An showed me something, I thought at the time, I should also show it to Brother Hou, you will definitely understand." ”

After speaking, An Zaixu took out a "holy decree" and said, "Brother Hou, please take a look." ”

Hou Fangyu was a little suspicious, but after taking it, it didn't look simple, this was a ...... Clothes and belts.

Under the propaganda of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, everyone knows what this is, this is the letter of appointment written by the eldest son of the former emperor, the crown prince Zhu Cihong, appointing someone to what grade and an official, and at the same time accumulating strength to deal with the demon forces entrenched in the imperial capital.

He looked a little sweaty, in all fairness, as a son and brother who had a family of household scholars, his family naturally would not lack money, and it was basically difficult to spend it, and it was really difficult for him to wear shoes and do things barefoot.

However, in the end, it is still the book of the household department at home, he checked it a few times, and knew that the material of this letter of appointment is the tribute silk in the palace, and the ink used is also good ink, although the gold seal is not the emperor's treasure seal, but it is the gold seal used by the crown prince, indicating that this thing is used by the prince Zhu Cihong, it really can't be fake, it seems, it is really so.

Of course, what makes him feel his heart beat the most is that on this letter of appointment, the name column is blank, that is, as long as you fill in anyone's name, this is an official edict appointing officials, although it is only the prince's, but since the Ming Emperor has died, and the rest of the princes have not ascended the throne for a while, then the officials who advertise loyalty to the monarch can almost admit the authenticity of this letter of appointment, as long as they do not fill in their official positions in the official position.

He hurriedly asked, "This Brother An, where did you get this, this is from the imperial capital." ”

An Zaixu nodded, he had already made a statement, and said: "In Xiashan Mountain, there is a distant relative in the family, who is from the imperial capital, and the current waiter of the Ministry of Rites is also ......."

Seeing Hou Fangyu's face change greatly, An Zaixu immediately continued: "However, a few days ago, in accordance with the name of my father, I went to the imperial capital to see if I could support my Ming prince, and naturally I also wanted to visit one or two, but afterwards, there was no contact, but seeing that in the imperial capital, those demons, fish, and meat people, and the people were not happy, I really couldn't bear it, and naturally I would not accept the hypocrisy, but there were naturally loyal people in the imperial capital, who found me and handed this thing to me, so that after I went south, I would look for like-minded people and find people with a heart together. In the future, Kuang Fu Daming is just around the corner. ”

Hou Fangyu was a little moved, and said: "This, why don't you go to the adults in the country, they are tired of the king's grace, and they are still holding power, so they are naturally a hundred responses." ”

An Zaixu was a little crying and laughing, he didn't dare to say anything, but he was in that gang and said: "Brother Hou, do you not know, in this Nanjing, there are really a group of demons dancing wildly, and demons are rampant, not to mention anything else, how many homeless people outside the city starve to death every day?" The government's assistance is less than one day a day, and whoever cares about it will ask someone to give me money, but the money will come to me, so how can my family have any money to spend. ”

Mao Xiang spoke, took a mouthful of salted duck on the table with chopsticks, took a sip of wine, wiped out a tael of silver, and continued: "In my opinion, wouldn't it be beautiful if we found a way to use these letters of appointment as a basis for us to do a great job in this city, and let them take a good look, or if my Donglin Party would govern the country?" ”

Hou Fangyu said: "Isn't this it?" ”

"Why, you see."

Today, An Zaixu brought out a lot of blank letters of appointment, he knew that with this blank letter of appointment, once it fell into the hands of those officials, they would really turn it into a fake for you, others said that you had worked hard to be an official for more than ten years, but you suddenly appeared, and pulled out your teeth and said directly, so-and-so official, the prince above has arranged people, who will believe it?

After thinking about it, I still have to find an alliance, find someone who has the same connections and wants to get ahead, and find a way to drill the camp.

Therefore, according to the old legend, the proletariat has the most revolutionary courage, but in fact, the unofficial class is the most revolutionary courage, historically, whether it is Yuan Tengfei or Han Han, who is among those scholars, said for a long time, it is nothing more than two words, to be an official, and it is to use various ways to be an official, when he is the most courageous, he runs to shake hands in front of the leader of the hostile party, and tells that unprecedented lie with a lost conscience: The most beautiful scenery of xx is people!
