Zheng Lixiang is also helpless.

These elders can be called people made of special materials, and they have been in control of the imperial capital for a year, and they can be said to be clean and thorough, so far, they have not heard that they have accepted any monetary bribes, as for sexual bribery, there is no boundary, for the elders, the houses in the old city of the imperial capital are theirs, and the houses in the new city are built with their machines, except for a small number of shrewd elders, shopping around for changes in this era is not so expensive, such as Tang Bohu's beauty fan, in short, it is all kinds of "inexpensive" good things.

This is the gap, the confidence, and the attitude of not advancing oil and salt, which makes Zheng Lixiang helpless, and also makes countless speculators from all over the world who want to come to the imperial capital to speculate go back to their hometown in frustration.

However, ambition will not be endless, the more a paradox of modern society is that more and more ordinary young people find that instead of working hard and doing things, little by little to improve their knowledge, it is better to learn from the original group of awakened young people in Taiwan, although the essence is the three indiscriminate, but you can also fool the people who are even more indiscriminate than themselves and vote for themselves.

In this way, you can go from a commoner to a high-ranking official, who is not tempted? Who still has the heart to do business, engage in scientific research, and do things seriously?

This is perdition.

Of course, there are still many things to pay attention to, but for Fengyang, the morning light is so charming, for a long time, people are very uncertain about whether the place where Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang started is to be called the south or the north, well, it is basically the southernmost northerner, the northernmost southerner This definition, no wonder this person unified China.

However, as the "central capital", Fengyang's status has not been low, after all, this place runs through the north and south, southeast and northwest are good places to fight, Chongzhen set up the title of governor of Fengyang, itself to take care of Fengyang, which was burned before.

Of course, the two governors are considered to be good, and the days here are too peaceful, according to the tradition of China for many years, after the great chaos in the north, the displaced people recruited in the Jianghuai region can often have good combat effectiveness, whether it is the Beifu soldiers or other dynasties, this tradition is about to form a habit.

And since Ma Shiying was on the edge of the Yangtze River, after Li Xiangqian defeated the generals of the four towns one by one, Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo, the two potential traitors, were directly eliminated, and Huang Degong and Gao Jie, one was born as a Beijing officer in the imperial court, and the other ran over from Li Zicheng, relatively speaking, their loyalty is still good, Huang Degong's famous filial son, Gao Jie gave Li Zicheng a green hat, and they are all at the level of the world's strongest people.

Especially after the north was stabilized and began to re-stabilize the order, Fengyang gradually settled down, and there were more troupes running around in various places, and Fengyang has not yet completely closed the order of the Teaching Workshop Division, so it is naturally more singing and dancing, at least in the eyes of those public intellectuals who have lost their conscience, everything is so beautiful, and the rights of prostitutes are respected, as for those poor women who were bought into prostitutes as teenagers, in their eyes, of course, they are not people.

For example, some people like two big men shirtless and go to the sauna together, in fact, they don't like the air that contains a lot of floating objects, but whoever makes it transparent and bright, no one can hide the recorder, and under such honesty, of course, they can do some perfect collusion work to oppress the powerless civilians in their eyes.

From this point of view, I can say that there is no sense of secrecy in the Ming Dynasty, and it is not uncommon to make jokes, but in the palace a hundred years ago, a group of eunuchs and palace maids, under the noses of countless secret agents, raised the only prince and avoided the poisonous hand of the concubine, which can be described as a wonderful sense of secrecy.

Just like Hou Fangyu and other so-called four sons, they are basically shirtless and have grown up in a honey pot for a long time, this is really the way of doing things.

"A few adults, I wish you all good luck, and when you deal with the horse thieves and other people, you all have promotions and appointments, isn't it beautiful."

Hou Fangyu excitedly blessed a few petty officials in Fengyang City in front of him, they didn't have any generals, but they were also petty officials of the city gate officials or key departments of the government, at this time, he saw the son of the former Hubu Shangshu here to talk a few nonsense, just like in the 21st century, a few brightly dressed and self-proclaimed nobles, who were actually migrant workers, were also really fooled.

"Thank you for your support, thank you for your support, if you have any orders, naturally just ask me, and I will do it."

Hou Fangyu watched a few people drink happily, and the prostitutes around him were also happy, he remembered a certain woman who had disappeared, and his heart was angry, and said: "Not busy, not busy, that horse thief wants to collude with the rogue and cut off the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years, how can it be so easy, you and others are doing things solidly, naturally, by the way, what can you do about the soldiers and horses left by Ma Shiying." ”

Several people looked at each other, and one of them said: "Hou Gongzi, that soldier and horse, it's really difficult to get started, Governor Ma......"

"How? Are they the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, now in this Fengyang City, everyone knows that the horse thief has gone to the imperial capital and taken refuge in the rogue, but do you still respect him as the governor. ”

The little official looked like a fairy fighting and mortals were suffering, and he also sighed and said: "Hou Gongzi, don't you know, since last year, Governor Ma has divided the army into three units, one led by Na Huang Degong and Gao Jie, and what he is stationed outside the city is the general of the guard brought by Governor Ma from Guizhou, who has the most red-clothed cannons, so he is naturally obeying him. ”

Looking at the look of the petty official, Hou Fangyu did not give up, and said: "What about Huang Degong and Gao Jie, those martial artists are used to not paying attention to faith and righteousness, and they are not as loyal as scholars such as us, don't they have any handles." ”

The petty official said: "I only heard that Governor Ma got some silver from the imperial capital and gave it back, and the army was stable, and that Huang Degong and Gao Jie, although they were stationed far away, were not out of the gate, and they were honest." ”

Hou Fangyu shouted: "Nonsense, when I don't know, it's like my servant Zuo Liangyu, the generals under his command didn't rape and slaughter the village a few times that month...... Ah, those two are so honest? ”

The junior official said slowly: "That Huang Degong was born in Beijing and is used to maintaining military discipline, and that Gao Jie himself is a traitor to the rogues, and he is also the person who abducted Li Zicheng's wife, so he is naturally more careful, and his identity is even more careful." ”

Hou Fangyu gritted his teeth, he was born in Jingying, it should have been the general promotion speed of Tongtian Avenue, if it wasn't for the fall of Chongzhen, he would definitely be the fastest person to be promoted, and in the imperial capital, where a random brick can smash a few officials to death, it seems that this kind of petty official is not very valuable, so he will naturally be cautious.

Otherwise, you may rob a guy who sells pancakes and fruits, and there will be big people behind everyone.

However, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said: "What about Gao Jie, since he was born in a rogue, he still kidnapped Li Zicheng's wife and ran out, isn't he lustful, and besides, if the horse thief really took refuge in the imperial capital, Li Zicheng can't spare him." ”

The little official lowered his head and said, "This is not something that the villain should know." ”

Hou Fangyu scolded secretly: "Incompetent, this little thing can't be done!" ”

However, he seemed to have consciously found some opportunity, and said: "Okay, let's start with this Gao Jie, well, by the way, you believe, how to lure him out of the barracks, this son personally persuaded him, and he will naturally obey my orders." ”

It is naturally difficult for Hou Fangyu to walk into the dirty land all over the hills by himself, but he also has full confidence, and with a few words, he can persuade the thief to bow his head and read poetry and books.

A few petty officials who can be frightened by Hou Fangyu can have any skills, and they almost don't even have a grade, how can they have a way to deal with a large army leader, but someone thought about it and said: "Speaking of which, in fact, it is not difficult for Hou Gongzi to meet that person." ”

"Oh, what's the solution."

"Although Na Gaojie has always been out of the barracks, it is inevitable that the people inside will come out to purchase military food, fruits and vegetables, receive military salaries and other things, as long as there is contact."

"That's just a few young players."

"There is just such a thing, since last year, the imperial capital has transported grain from Jiangnan, all of which are using the fairy-like spaceship, and less use of Cao Yun, the deficit saved in the middle is much less, and the grain production in Jiangnan is a little rich, and many grain merchants have lost their capital, and they are looking for big farmers to buy grain.

Hou Fangyu gritted his teeth hatefully and said, "So what, oh, you mean. ”

"Coincidentally, as Xia Guan knows, those grain merchants are camping everywhere, wanting to sell grain to Gao Jie and Huang Degong, and even lowering each other's prices is inevitable, so there is also a chance to find a way to meet that Gao Jie."

"Ben Gongzi An can mix with those merchants!"

For Hou Fangyu, although the grain and salt merchants in Jiangnan are big moneymakers, they are also low-status existences, Huang Degong Gaojie is a lowly military household, but he is also a military general appointed by the imperial court, and he communicates with him, although he has committed the crime of civil and military collusion, but at least they are officials, oh, Hou Fangyu has already regarded himself as the future governor of Fengyang.

The junior official glanced at the goods, but he didn't dare to respond, and said: "The lower official just said that there was something, what is the specific, and the lower official still needs to ask, regardless of it, that Gao Jie is not easy to see." ”

"Well, even if it's arranged, I don't believe it, isn't Gao Jie afraid of himself, if Li Zicheng becomes his boss, does he still want to save his life."

Some people think of Gao Jie as simple.

As a much more successful character than Li Zicheng, a defeated dog, Gao Jie can be called a winner in life, at least at this stage, to be more successful, are born in the northwest of the ** silk, Li Zicheng is a postman, after being laid off as a soldier but not getting a salary, it can be described as extremely miserable, and finally rebelled, and although Gao Jie is the same, he has not suffered much, and even looked at the situation in the fire within the righteous army, abducted Li Zicheng's wife, and some belongings, pulled up a team of his own, and defected to the official army. Mixed to this day, from the four towns in Jiangbei under Ma Shiying, to the two towns in Jiangbei, how can a winner be summarized!

In fact, although Liu Zeqing and Liu Liangzuo were finished, after a while of the rabbit died and the fox was sad for a while, Gao Jie also accepted the idea of losing sincerity to the imperial capital, compared to Huang Degong, who was born in Beijing, and his mind was Huang Degong, who was loyal to the Three Kingdoms Water Margin, Gao Jie didn't know what this thing was, but he guessed other people himself, and he also looked at other people as if they were not trustworthy.

The rebellion against Gao Jie Huang Degong, or appeasement, has not stopped since Ma Shiying arrived in the imperial capital, through Ma Shiying's hands, they are given military salaries, that is, the republican Tongbao, once this kind of money spreads in Jiangnan, it means that economically, they are tied together by the imperial capital, and they are naturally willing to spend money.

Although Huang Degong is pedantic, he is not stupid, and the people in the imperial capital also have a politically invincible weapon, the future Zhengxie Vice Chairman Comrade Zhu Cihong is simply a perfect signboard, although Huang Degong is also pouting, but in the end how many years the imperial capital is the capital, people habitually feel that this is the political center, let him be loyal to others, he can't do it.

Gao Jie is much more complicated, the grievances between him and Li Zicheng are really not something that can be summarized by simply robbing a woman, and it can't just be said that he is sorry for Li Zicheng, it is complicated, although Li Zicheng is not an emperor and a king, but a false title still has to be given, in this case, as an official of the same dynasty, Li Zicheng is not embarrassed, he himself has to be embarrassed.

Gao Jie knows that with the nature of the people of the Celestial Empire, this kind of "peach-colored dispute" must be spread around, he doesn't care about his reputation, beautiful women sleep, high-ranking officials are in front of him, who doesn't care, but he is afraid that Li Zicheng will be dissatisfied with the matter of cuckolding, once he is anxious to do something to him in private, he will be killed by surprise, that is the real wrong.

In the case of other people's complete ignorance, in fact, how many times have the two sides flirted and hooked up in secret, that is, both sides have their own scruples, so they are too careful, and no one else knows.

The transaction under the table is the most important, although I don't know how in history, Nanming, Ma Shiying, Shi Kefa, and Wu Sangui and other officials in the north communicated, but for the Council of Elders, the basic principle is very simple, disarmament and attrition, will give the population pressure to spread overseas, this policy has been supported by all the elders, for Gao Jie, who can be alone, and is not willing to mess around in the Celestial Empire, how to think, to go alone, to destroy a certain unlucky small country, is also very normal.
