Chapter 775: Recruiting Reinforcements
"Chang Wei is late, don't blame the real people. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"What did Guogong say, you came to the Manifestation Palace that night, how can you say that you are late?" Xiao Lianyun smiled meaningfully: "It is thanks to your daughter-in-law that she acted in a good show, so that Poor Dao can know the true identity of Yun Rongying and Hua Rongyue. 」
"But the junior almost stabbed him. Chang Wei smiled bitterly.
"Oh, Ning Xin, this girl is really willing to do it. Xiao Lianyun was a little surprised, and after a moment of silence, she said, "She doesn't like her master very much!"
Chang Wei nodded, of course this is one of the reasons, but more importantly, Ning Xin also guessed Xiao Lianyun's identity, and didn't want Yun and Hua to get strong reinforcements, but also wanted to keep his chastity, so she decided to stab him.
"It's a pity. Xiao Lianyun sighed softly: [Yun and Hua are really excellent Taoist couples for dragon and tiger dual cultivation, but it's a pity that they have distractions. Although Poor Dao knew that the two of them were skilled, he didn't know that she was actually a faction. 」
There are very few women with high skills and outstanding demeanor such as clouds and flowers in the rivers and lakes, and Xiao Lianyun, who is a big sacrificial wine, can't guess her identity, and she knows almost nothing about the rivers and lakes.
It's not surprising that he can know Chang Wei, it's a strange thing that people with a little bit of level don't know Chang Wei, and even the ordinary people in the south of the capital know Chang Wei's name.
"Since the real person knows that Yun Langyue and Hua Langying are the heads of the Qingcha Sect, do you know that their relationship with Jin Gehui, Chu Tiankuo, and Wudang Feng Leizi is extraordinary?"
Xiao Lianyuncha's hand suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed, his gaze was like thunder, and his momentum was unexpectedly aggressive.
Oh, he swept his eyes lightly, slowly took a sip of fragrant tea, and said in a deep voice: "Guogong, Wudang is not a piece of your heart that takes over the rivers and lakes?"
"The eyes of the real man are like electricity, the wind and thunder are ambitious, the picture is not small, the rivers and lakes are naturally his goal, and reshaping the glory of the Sanfeng real era is also a prerequisite for him to be able to dispatch Wudang to devote himself to the hegemony of the rivers and lakes. 」
If it weren't for the Wudang Sect at that time, Zhang Sanfeng, who prided himself on being high and resigned, was afraid that it would not be the turn of the Zhengyi Sect to advocate normality to dominate Jiangnan Taoism.
Even so, Taizu is still a big seal of Wudang, Zhang Sanfeng won the title of real person, and his disciple Qiu Xuanqing entered the court as Taichangqing, and the limelight is not under Zhengyi.
It was only later that Zhang Yuchu, the son of Zhang Normal, who succeeded to the position of the leader of Zhengyi, was really a generation of Tianjiao, not only consolidating the position of Zhengyi, but also splitting Wudang with a plan to greatly reduce its strength, which made Wudang unable to challenge Zhengyi's position for a hundred years.
However, Taizu's words were like a sharp sword hanging above Zhengyi's head, so that the head of the sect did not dare to forget the threat of Wudang. Chang Wei's words suddenly made Xiao Lianyun vigilant.
"Guogong, do you mean that Yun and Hua deliberately approached the poor road?" Xiao Lianyun pondered for a long time before re-speaking.
"Although the younger generation would rather believe that she is genuinely seeking the truth, I am afraid that this is not necessarily the case. A real person can recall the process of the two acquaintances, is it full of coincidences?"
"But what is she trying to do?"
"The so-called beauty walking alone is an opportunity to steal incense and jade. Real people are respected in the Zhengyi, just like beautiful women. Being alone in Beijing, as if you are alone, if it is me, you must also seize this opportunity, the small is trapped in the love thread, and the big one is to help the real person in Wudang. 」
"I'm always not asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and the martial arts conference the year before last was also to give face to the Duke of Guo and Anton, so I sent people to attend. Qingchamen is also a Taoist, and I should know that my religion has strict rules. 」
"Doesn't the Noble Sect even care about the government and politics? The younger generation stirs up the court situation and takes over the rivers and lakes, it is by no means as simple as the affairs of the rivers and lakes, the real person knows the stakes, why should he bully me?" Although Chang Wei still said with a smile, his words gradually became sharper.
"Who said that the prince of the country can be bullied?" Xiao Lianyun smiled slightly and defused Chang Wei's offensive: "The so-called words are the voice of the heart, your policy says, 'The only coarse thing in the world is suitable for tempering, and it is the use of the gentleman to the essence, if you do not hesitate to rule the law to the coarse, the mind and body are purified by grinding, so there is no god who is slightly defiled, and the sex is sharpened and benefited, so there is no brilliance', quite the essence of my teaching dragon and tiger double cultivation, I want you to take over the rivers and lakes, and it is beneficial for me to teach. 」
How can this be?! My God, what does he think of the coarsest thing in the world?!
Although he had guessed that Xiao Lianyun had agreed to take charge of the rivers and lakes, but when he heard such an unbelievable reason, Chang Wei couldn't help but show a stunned expression.
"Yun and Hua have a demonic obstacle in their hearts that cannot be removed, but it should have nothing to do with Guogong you, and ordinary ministers don't know about your return to Beijing, how can she know? 」
Chang Wei said in his heart, how many people know the identity of your Xiao Lianyun, did Yun Langyue and Hua Langying find you differently?
However, Chang Wei did not correct his thoughts: "Since the real person knows her intentions, he can't come up with any tricks for the younger ones, but the younger ones still have something to ask for. 」
"The emperor has Taoist Huigen, which is the luck of the Daomen, and the bad luck of the Daomen when the emperor is washed must be just around the corner. However, the destruction of the Buddha was too much, and Shamen went through several Dharma tribulations, all of which were destroyed and revived, and then broken. After the revival, it brought many disasters to the Taoist gate, such as the Huichang Fa disaster, Tang Wuzong destroyed more than 4,000 monasteries, and returned 260,000 lay monks and nuns.
Chang Wei breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Therefore, the younger generation thinks that although Buddhism is the religion of Yidi, it should be strictly prohibited, but the means need to be slowed down. 」
Xiao Lianyun nodded: "Poor Dao is also worried about this. It's just that the emperor is soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and he is a man of temperament......" He stopped talking and stopped talking.
Chang Wei certainly understands that Shao Yuanjie's words are another way of saying that he is stubborn and self-serving, and he will repay himself: "This is exactly where the younger generation wants to plead with the real person. The ban on Buddha is inevitable and inevitable, but to protect one or two, real people should have this ability. The rivers and lakes are known as Shaolin Wudang, Wudang is powerful, only Shaolin can contend with, once Shaolin is destroyed, Wudang is more difficult to control, and it is extremely unfavorable for the younger generation to control the rivers and lakes. Moreover, once Wudang has no opponents in the rivers and lakes, will its next target be Zhengyi and Heavenly Master Dao?"
Chang Wei did not shy away from his Zhongnanshan background, this is not necessary, and it is not in the open, but it makes Xiao Lianyun look down on it.
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Xiao Lianyun, a member of the Zhengyi Gate, and Chang Wei, a member of the Heavenly Master Daomen, fought against foreign enemies together, and the relationship immediately became a lot closer.
When Jiang Chi came to the Manifestation Palace with a Wu surname from the Camp Repair Department of the Ministry of Industry, Chang Wei was already discussing with the Manifestation Palace about Sun Xuanqing's tea.
The four of them quickly discussed the general repair plan, that Wu Suocheng seemed to have eaten Jiang Chi's money, and said that a simple project was extremely important, Sun Xuanqing naturally liked to listen, and Chang Wei and Jiang Chi smiled.
Chang Wei asked casually, only to find that a considerable part of the requisitioned craftsmen were actually drawn from the temple project supervised by Yuan Keli.
"This can't be done!" Chang Wei secretly pulled Jiang Chi and whispered, "The temple project has been dragged around by the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Households, and the construction period has been delayed for many times, and these people are transferred again, how can they explain to the emperor?"
Jiang Chi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized: "I said how these girls are so easy to talk, it turns out that they want us to fight our own people!" and said that it was no wonder that there were still a few days to go after leaving work, and Wu Suocheng couldn't wait to transfer all the manpower from the temple.
Jiang Chi is the nephew of the Empress Dowager Jiang, and Chang Wei and Yuan Keli are naturally comrades-in-arms in the same trench, unwilling to be fooled, and when he turned around, he wanted to settle accounts with Wu Suocheng immediately, but was stopped by Chang Wei.
"Dongshan, you're making such a fuss, I'm afraid that even the project of the Manifestation Palace has been involved! It's good that all the manpower has been transferred, not only the manpower of the temple project, but also a lot of people have been transferred to other projects? Now that the people are in our hands, how to use them is what we say!"
Chang Wei glanced at Wu Suocheng: "It's not difficult to let this guy rest at home for ten days and half a month, right? Let's divide the manpower into two, one is working here leisurely, the other is in Shen Lizi during the day, and goes to the temple at night, I asked the teacher to increase the wages of the craftsmen, and we will subsidize a little more, with so many manpower, the progress of the temple side can not be pulled down, and even the original delayed construction period can be rushed back, I will play the group of bastard eunuchs of the Ministry of Labor and Household this time!"
Jiang Chi laughed excitedly, Chang Wei said that Yuan Keli didn't know Li Long's identity at the moment, so he asked Jiang Chi to coordinate with him, and he agreed.
However, more than 50 master craftsmen heard that they were only going to do the work of building walls, plastering, paving roads, and other small laborers, and they had to be idle for several days, so they all made a noise, but they were pressed down by Wu Suocheng, and said that the wages were still paid for the past few days, and although everyone was angry, they could only endure it.
When Jiang Chi dragged Wu Suocheng to spend all his time drinking, Chang Wei told these craftsmen the plan. First of all, he admired their skills, and told how the saints love their parents today, and how important it is to build the emperor's temple; and said that Shen Lizi Hutong is the real estate that the Jiang family wants to develop, and the Jiang family is the emperor's maiden family, and serving the Jiang family is serving the emperor; and finally naturally showing their brocade identity and asking them to keep their mouths shut, otherwise, they will be served in prison!
This kind of thing has happened a lot to the great craftsmen, so it is not surprising that they are naturally surprised. What's more, I don't have to do small jobs, and my salary may still grow by one or two percent, so why not? So everyone nodded yes.
Two temporary directors were promoted, and under their guidance, the craftsmen were divided, and the people in charge of each type of work were also promoted, and fifty small laborers were recruited to allocate them, and the project on the side of the Manifestation Palace was specially waited for the 17th to start.
took the stewards of various types of work to Shen Lizi Hutong, and the others made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the Hutong tomorrow. After listening to Chang Wei's idea, the leading public of this part twisted his goatee and muttered: "Shen Lizi is about sixty zhang long, according to the adult's idea, about two large quadrangle courtyards and four middle quadrangle courtyards can be built, if the materials are also according to the adult's proposal, each large quadrangle will need about 8,000 taels of silver, and the middle quadrangle will need 6,000 taels, and these six houses will cost 40,000 taels of silver!"
"Gong loses, you don't have to worry about the money, the Jiang family and I haven't put the 40,000 taels of silver in our eyes yet, I will pay for the materials in cash, you just need to care about the quality and progress." However, if you want to play tricks with me on the price of materials, I want his head!"
In his heart, he was secretly grateful to Xiao Bieli, without the 100,000 taels of silver he sent in the snow, Chang Wei was afraid that he would only have to use the silver in secret.
"Don't worry, little old man doesn't dare to ruin the reputation of the public loser!" The face of the public loser also showed a reassuring smile.
With the arrangements in place, Chang Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Shen Lizi has Jiang Yunzhu sent someone to take care of it, and he and Jiang Chi only need to take care of the Manifestation Palace without making mistakes, and everything will be fine.
Sitting behind the large and old desk in the archives of the Criminal Department, he savored a rare tranquility alone. Since meeting Ning Xin and Chongyao brothers and sisters, things have happened one after another, which has made Chang Wei a little overwhelmed, and he finally found a little stable feeling at this moment.
When the candle night in the cave room and the title of the gold list, the two proudest things in a man's life were re-experienced in just a few days, although the form may be different, but the pleasure is the same.
The pride and happiness I have in the rivers and lakes in my hands, the shyness and trembling of Qingluan and Ning Xin, in retrospect, will make people can't help but laugh out loud.
But the deaths of Yunxian and He Susu also reminded Chang Wei that the road ahead is rugged, without absolutely strong strength, and without the vigilance of the abyss, he may become a hurried passerby in the capital in an instant.
"It's time to deal with the Herbs. 」
The incarnation of Li Long has begun to take root in the hearts of the people, and a series of incidents such as Shen Lizi's purchase of land, Ning Xin's husband, Yunxian's murder, and the arrest of Jiang Kui are enough for everyone to reminisce for a while, and there is no need to run around for him for the time being.
In addition to handing over to Deng Qi, the most important thing at the moment is to use the opportunity in the center of the capital to deal with Min Chengbi and his party and Okita Yu.
glanced at the files full of files on the table, there was data from Kuaimatang, although it was not detailed enough, but it was better than nothing.
Kuaimatang was established by Hebo Quan, his own brother was a petty official in the horse market in the Great Wall, and he was familiar with the officers of the guard who were responsible for trading horses with the Mongols, and every year he set aside more than 100 good horses while buying horses for the Ming army.
Mongolian horses are rarely seen in the south of the Yangtze River, the horse is sold across the river, deducting all kinds of expenses, each horse almost has a double profit, so when the year is good, Kuaimatang can have a net profit of three or four thousand taels a year, almost two thousand taels, more than ten years down, Heberquan is really a rich man who is not big, no wonder the rivers and lakes regard Kuaimatang as a model for small and medium-sized families to make a fortune.
Li Qishan didn't know most of these data, although he had been the head of Kuaimatang for a few days.
I remember that Li Qishan said that last year, Kuaimatang did not do a single business except for the transaction with the Jin Ge Society of forty war horses, and the business of the Jin Ge Society was completely discussed by He Boquan himself, and no one knew the inside story.
Although Li Qishan was shrewd, it was impossible for him to think that Heber Quan would become a very important figure in the future, otherwise, he would definitely use all his resources to get the account books of Kuaimatang.
However, at the moment, Chang Wei can only guess how Heber Quan sold the horse to Okita, and is Jin Ge threading the needle in the middle?
If he catches Heboquan, he should know all this, but unfortunately the emperor handed over the task of dealing with him to the Criminal Department, is it to let Chang Wei feel at ease to explore the mysteries of the rivers and lakes in this dim room, or does he want to confirm the destruction of the Japanese from Heboquan's mouth?
Chang Wei didn't know, but he knew that he couldn't act rashly, and before Lu Meigong officially asked him for help, Chang Wei could only secretly spy on Heboquan to prevent him from disappearing into the vast sea of people again.
"Admire, admire, you can really sit still!"
Seeing that the sun was about to go down, Jiang Chi suddenly appeared. But Chang Wei pinched his throat mischievously and shouted, Jiang Chi was so frightened that he turned his head and ran, and when he heard my laughter, he understood, and rushed into the warehouse angrily.
"You're a pervert, what kind of woman you pretend to be!" he said angrily, "Damn, I'll have to toss your mother and mother to death sooner or later!"
"I just want to prove that I still have the talent to act, after all, I am now playing two roles by myself, which is very heavy!" Fortunately, Chang Wei needs to keep a low profile and have Ning Xin's help, otherwise, I really dare not imagine what chaos will happen.
Jiang Chi felt the same way: "Don't say you're tired, I'm tired when I look at it. He wiped his sweat and said, "Let's not talk about you first, I just passed by the former military mansion, and I ran into Deng Qi being surrounded by a group of people, saying that he would invite him to Baihualou. Those people don't want to think about it, just Yilun's temper, let alone Baihualou, even if it's a first-class building, if you go back late, you have to eat closed-door soup, speaking of which, it's worse than me!"
Speaking of Deng Qi, Chang Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly, in the five days since he was sealed, he has always been busy entertaining guests, it seems that it will take five or seven days to stop, but his time can't be delayed.
Ning Bai'er's unintentionally resentful eyes flashed in his mind, and Chang Wei was secretly worried, could the women in the fleet also be resentful?
As he was talking, he saw Lu Mei walk in angrily, threw a handscroll on the table, and said angrily: "I'm angry with Lao Tzu!
Chang Wei and Jiang Chi looked at each other, and hurriedly asked what was going on, Lu Mei said fairly: "Didn't we say a few days ago that we were going to spy on Liao Xi? This afternoon, Lord Shangshu came back, and I went to ask for instructions, but I was reprimanded, saying that I shouldn't have heard and chased after the wind. Although he approved my proposal, he transferred several of my subordinates away, saying that the emperor and the queen mother might go to several palaces to watch the blessings and strengthen the defense. Grandma's, I'm a bare-bones commander, how can I spy on Liao Xi?"
Although most of the emperor's trips are brocade guards, there are big festivals, and the criminal department usually cooperates with Shuntianfu and brocade guards to do a good job of prevention.
Several of Lu Meigong's cadres have been assigned by him, and they are well-known in the Criminal Department, and Zhao Jian temporarily transferred them out to strengthen the strength of the defense, which is understandable at all, probably because Lu Meigong was trained, and he felt awkward, so he felt that Zhao Jian's move was aimed at him personally.
Although he regretted it in his heart, it was only Chang Wei's selfish selfish revenge on Liao Xi after all, so he comforted Lu Meigong, saying that Heboquan was the main target, and it would be okay for Liao Xi to let it go, and he would not run away anyway.
Jiang Chi said that he would invite Lu Meigong out to drink and play with women in the evening, and then shook his head, muttered to himself, and brought out a long list of names of the restaurant brothels, thinking that he was thinking about where to go tonight.
Lu Meigong couldn't cry or laugh, and quickly slipped away while he wasn't paying attention, Chang Wei didn't wait for him to make up his mind, and hurriedly said, "Dongshan, I won't accompany you tonight, otherwise, my fate will not be much better than Deng Qi!"
"You're a fucking bear. However, he finally understood Chang Wei's feelings of nostalgia for his new home, and when he saw that Lu Meigong was gone, he said that he would let you get drunk to death in Baihualou and Cuiyun Pavilion another day, and see how Ning Xin rectified me.
said goodbye to Jiang Chi at the entrance of the criminal department and returned home at sunset. I didn't go far before I felt as if someone was following, and although the tracking technique was rather clumsy, the amazing body skills made up for the lack of technology.
Chang Wei's heart suddenly moved, he stood still, turned around slowly, ignored the surprised eyes of the people around him, and said aloud to the bustling crowd: "Mr. Gao, Brother Yan Ming, don't come to harm?"
