Outside the gate of Zhenyuan, several carts and more than 1,000 cavalry gathered beside the moat, Wu Mengming was greeting Wang Jimo, Cai Maode and others, and saw Chang Yu coming on horseback, and everyone surrounded him.

Chang Yu is leaving, in addition to the Jin Palace, in Taiyuan City, it can be said that the civil and military generals have come to see each other, Wang Jimo, Cai Maode, Sun Kangzhou, Zhou Yuji, Ying Shisheng and other dozens of civil and military people.

In the battle of Taiyuan, Chang Yu made a great contribution, whether it was money, food, soldiers and horses, or strategizing, and even the final victory of the army and treachery, all of which were indispensable to his contributions, and there was no objection to his first merit, that is, even Wang Jimo, who had always been at odds, had to admit his merits when he asked himself.

Cai Maode is the civil official who has the closest relationship with Chang Yu, and he himself never even imagined that there would be a day when he would be impressed by a eunuch, and this eunuch was still a young man, but he held great power.

Of course, so many people sent each other, not because of Chang Yu's identity as the commander of Dongchang, most of them were overwhelmed by his Wen Taowu strategy, which was extremely rare for a eunuch in this era.

It can even be said that if it weren't for the fact that he was too low-key and ordinary people didn't know about his dedication, I'm afraid it would not be impossible for him to make a million empty alleys at this time.

"What the factory governor did in Taiyuan, everyone can see, the old man has written a book for the factory governor to recommend merit, I wish the factory governor a smooth progress" Cai Maode looked pleased: "Daming has a factory governor such a young hero, fortunately, fortunately!" ”

"Lord Cai lifted up" Chang Yu smiled slightly: "Our family is a eunuch, you can't be an official in the court, you can't be a general in the army, you can only help the emperor run errands and talk about how to make progress, but the boss takes care of his body, so as not to be blown away by the strong wind, and come back to find you missing."

The crowd laughed.

"The factory supervisor has a good trip" Wang Jimo also smiled slightly, and hugged his fists to salute.

Chang Yu nodded: "Borrow the Governor's auspicious words" and then hugged his fists and looked around: "Everyone stay, he will see you again in the future" He glanced at Zhou Yuji, nodded his head, turned over and got on the horse, turned his head and left.

By the moat, Li Tiezhu and Fan Jiaqian ushered in: "The factory father, the brothers are all here."

"It's ...... here" Chang Yu whispered, raised his eyes and swept away, there were nearly two thousand people when he came, and at this time he folded a small half! Three hundred eunuch warriors, at this time there are only more than a hundred, and the one with the least loss is the Jinyi Guard, who has never participated in the battle.

"Departure" Chang Yu waved his hand and took the lead in galloping wildly, and Wu Mengming gritted his teeth and hurriedly followed the horse.

The night in Beijing is still biting, the snow foam in the sky has not been heard since sunset, and the nightlife of Beijing is still colorful, even in the cold winter, the streets are full of pedestrians, and the shops are full of customers.

A carriage was moving slowly near Chaoyang Gate, the car was creaking on the snow, the man who was driving the car poked his head to look left and right, and finally stopped near the city gate of Chaoyang Gate, glanced at a restaurant with brilliant lights next to it, turned his head and whispered: "Gonggong Chun has arrived"

The curtain opened, and Chunxiang poked his head out: "Have you arrived?" ”

"Back to my father-in-law, it's here" The coachman jumped out of the car and stretched out his hand to help Chunxiang get out of the car, and walked straight towards the restaurant.

The restaurant is very large, second to none in Chaoyangmen

Xianju Building, the industry of Fang Ba, is also the hall of the 12th Taibao.

Chang Yu overwhelmed people with his power, and gathered twelve gangs in the capital to start for later use, as Chang Yu left Beijing, his identity slowly surfaced, and these spare manpower began to slowly go online.

As the underground forces in the capital, these gangs each have their own tentacles and sources, and Chang Yu did not hide it later, so his identity as a eunuch in the palace gradually became transparent and was known by Fang Ba and others.

An ordinary eunuch naturally does not have such forces to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Beijing camp, and it is impossible for him to enter and exit the city gate or even the palace gate at will late at night, but Fang Ba and the others checked and only learned that this Chang Gonggong had no real position in the palace, but he was a big celebrity, a big celebrity in front of the prince.

It turns out that the backer is the prince, this news is enough for Fang Ba and the others to be happy all night, for a ruffian like them to indirectly climb the big tree of the prince, it is indeed a very dignified thing, far better than those noble gentlemen, or the errands in the yamen.

However, the good news soon followed, their handles were in the position of the commander of the East Factory in a very short period of time, what kind of concept is this! The emperor's big red man!

One person alone holds the favor of the emperor and the prince, simply put, he is the first person in the harem! The whole Ming can go sideways!

For this reason, Fang Ba really gathered more than ten other people to drink all night, celebrating that he had found such a powerful backer.

But then they were tasked with stockpiling grain.

In fact, before Chang Yu left Beijing, he had already asked Nancheng Song Siyang, one of the twelve Taibao, to start stockpiling grain, but the intensity was not great at that time, but after Chunxiang returned to Beijing, after directly finding Fang Ba, the action was big.

Collect the financial resources of the 12th Taibao and fully purchase them in Jiangmi Lane, as long as the grain ships, packages, packages, packages enter Beijing.

Buying food is a big investment, and the silver of the white flowers is scattered, and it would be a lie to say that they are not distressed, but Fang Ba and the others believe that Chang Yu will not trade at a loss, you must know that behind him is the royal family, who has ever seen the royal family suffer a loss.

"Two guest officers, please" Chunxiang and the two arrived at the door, and Xiao Er greeted them warmly.

The accompanying eunuch of the "palace" whispered to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper's face changed, and then he became more respectful: "The two masters upstairs, please" said and quickly gave a look to the person next to him, who hurried upstairs.

"Hey, Father-in-law Chun, why are you here, why don't you say hello in advance, the little one is far away, the sin is sinful" When he first arrived on the second floor, Fang Ba had already rushed down from the third floor, followed by Jiang Yiping, and the two of them looked polite.

"It's boring in the palace, come out for a walk, and come to see when you pass by" Chunxiang smiled slightly, and followed the two upstairs.

The third floor is a VIP room, and you can't come at all without an identity, and it's generally not open to the public on weekdays.

It's not the first time Fang Ba and Chunxiang have met, as early as a few days ago, after Chunxiang escorted Yuyin from Taiyuan into Beijing, he went straight to the south of the city to find Song Siyang and identify himself.

Song Siyang didn't dare to slack off, so he summoned Fang Ba and the other twelve Taibao to set up a banquet that night to entertain Chunxiang.

"The factory is waiting for you to wait for a large amount of grain, and the silver money will be paid when he comes back" This is the first sentence of Chunxiang.

Fang Ba and the others didn't dare to slack off, they didn't dare to slack off on the things Chang Yu explained, and they didn't dare to slack off on Chang Yu's henchmen, because Chunxiang at this time was already the little eunuch who was still the one who was still the supervisor.

Since Chang Yu's water has risen and he has ascended to the sky in one step, not to mention that Lao Liu, the eunuch who is now the commander of Shangshanjian, has to nod his head when he sees Chunxiang, it is the entire harem with four divisions, eight bureaus and twelve eunuchs, and twenty-four yamen In addition to the great eunuch Wang Chengen, it is the eight eunuchs who have to be honored when they see him, who dares to call Xiao Chunzi again!

Eunuchs generally don't like wine, and Chunxiang also has a soft spot for tea when he follows Chang Yu's ear reading, so Fang Ba brewed the best black tea in Xianjulou: "Gonggong Chun warms his body."

Chunxiang thanked him, raised his eyes and looked around at the interior decoration of the building, drank a few sips of tea and said softly: "Eighth master, how much grain has been collected, and the silver money is enough?" ”

"The little one doesn't dare to call it that," Fang Ba quickly got up.

Chunxiang smiled slightly and motioned for him to sit down and speak.

"About 50,000 stones, (about 95 kilograms per stone in the Ming Dynasty)" Fang Ba said with a slight twist on his face, and glanced at Jiang Yiping next to him: "It's not a secret, it's really a little tight at hand."

"Fifty thousand stones, far from enough" Chunxiang frowned: "Can the eighth master contact some southern grain merchants to directly purchase or directly send someone to set up a point in the south to purchase?" ”

"This ......" Fang Ba made a difficulty.

"Father-in-law Chun, this matter is simple to say, but it is not easy to handle, there are many ways to purchase grain, I don't know much, but Song Siyang is specialized in this business, it shouldn't be much of a problem, but the most important thing at the moment is to be tight" Jiang Yiping stood up at this time and said.

Chunxiang nodded slightly: "Don't worry about the silver, if it is not bad, the factory will return to Beijing in a few days."

"Ah, the factory is coming back" Fang Ba and Jiang Yiping were all happy on their faces.

Chunxiang nodded slightly, just in the past few days, so at the moment it is still important to focus on food matters, you wait to go back to Song Siyang to discuss first, and then take action as soon as possible, you also know that our family is on an errand in the palace, and it is very inconvenient to show up, so you have to look up to you.

"Gong Chun's words are serious, they are all his own family, not outside," Fang Ba and Jiang Yiping hurriedly said.

"I heard that because of our family's large-scale grain stockpiling, the price has risen a little and attracted some peers to look for trouble, but?" Chunxiang blew the tea in the cup and asked lightly.

Fang Ba was shocked, the people in Dongchang were really awesome, they all knew this kind of wind and grass, it seemed that although they were a family, they and the others were still stared at by the people in Dongchang on weekdays.

He didn't understand that it was Chunxiang beating them.

"No matter how red those miscellaneous are, what can they do, can they dare to touch us?" Fang Ba sneered.

Chunxiang also smiled slightly: "We're not afraid of trouble, but don't raise the price too high, once the trouble is big, the people will complain, and the face is not good-looking!" ”

Although he didn't say who had a bad face, Fang Ba and Jiang Yiping both understood it in seconds, and even broke out in a cold sweat in an instant: "Yes, it's ......"

After chatting for a while, Chunxiang said goodbye.

"Father-in-law Chun, it's getting late, why don't you stay here and go back tomorrow, we have a first-class guest room here......" Fang Ba tried his best to stay, it was almost late at night, he didn't believe that Chunxiang could go back to the palace at this time, after all, he was not Chang Yu, and after being locked, he could still enter and exit at will in the Inner Nine and Outer Seven Imperial Cities and Four Imperial Cities was the only one who was the factory master.

"Don't bother the eighth master, our family has its own place to go" Chunxiang smiled slightly and said goodbye.

Fang Ba and Jiang Yiping were sent outside the building, and seeing that Chunxiang only had one eunuch who was driving the car, they offered to be escorted by his subordinates, but Chunxiang also refused.

On the snowy streets, a horse-drawn carriage slowly disappeared into the streets.

In front of the Xianju Building, Jiang Yiping and Fang Ba glanced at each other, and the two of them smiled, Chang Yu was coming back!
