Chapter 729: Where is sacred?
The streets of Songjiang are almost as prosperous as Suzhou, although there are not as many mansions and courtyards as in Suzhou and Yang, but those small buildings that seem to be only twenty or thirty years old are by no means less sophisticated than those of Suyang, and it is witnessing the rapid development of Songjiang in the past 100 years.

In addition to the numerous merchants, the most interesting thing is the loom that jumps into the eye from time to time, Songjiang is known as 'the clothes of the world', these scattered weavers are the foundation, and Chang Wei only listens to the sound to know that most of the weavers have been replaced by the efficient looms of the machine bureau.
After the appearance of dozens of times the loom of the machine bureau, many people began to follow suit, although it was not as efficient and precise as the original, but it was also a great technological advance.
"I don't know how many people are fed by silk weaving alone. Yu Piaoling sighed.
To open a weaving and dyeing workshop here, there is no problem with the raw materials and even the craftsmanship of the craftsmen, and the key is to get the support of the local government and the weaving and dyeing bureau.
The Shen family has a good relationship with the prefect of Songjiang, although Yu Shanmo has no friendship with his teacher Yuan Keli and eldest brother Chang Kuan, but he is only forty years old this year, and there is still room to climb up in the officialdom, and many friends in the DPRK and China should have a certain attraction to him;
"This is the most famous Fengyue place in Songjiang, Yihong Building!" Yan Ruyu pointed to an antique garden road.
After going in and taking a turn, I was a little disdainful. Not to mention that it can't be compared with Fenglaiyi and Kuaixuetang, it is also inferior to Lichun Temple. The garden is only one-fifth the size of Feng Laiyi, and the repair is quite exquisite, but it exudes an atmosphere of wealth; the girl can't say less, but there are few that look eye-catching, let alone as stunning as Zhuang Qingyan and Ji Xiaoxian.
"It's strange, Songjiang is a good place to open a brothel, why isn't there a decent place to open a brothel?"
Chang Wei really couldn't figure it out, Shen Kuang's family was a local snake in business for one or two hundred years, and his horizons were not broad, he opened a brothel in his mind It was a natural thing, but he didn't interfere;
I just wanted to visit the boss of Yihong Mansion, but I saw Shen Cui, the seventh elder of the Shen family, and a few young people walking in with a smile, and several girls in the hall saw Shen Cui, all of them were screaming and screaming, and they obviously recognized him, but the two of them didn't pay much attention to it, and when they saw Chang Wei and Yan Ruyu, Tang Shuxue, and Yu Piaoling, they were all stunned.
"Zhongbei, you weren't so romantic when you were in Yingtian!"
Chang Wei broke the embarrassing situation with a smile, pointed to the three people behind him, and said, "These two are my cousins." ”
"Who can compare to fearless you!" Shen Cui laughed, after holding the power of the Shen family, his smile seemed to be much more arrogant.
"Grandpa Guo, why did you go to Yihong Mansion by yourself? What about the people from the mansion? Why didn't they come to accompany you?"
"I didn't come to alarm Songjiang Mansion. Chang Wei said lightly: "How can I say that I am also an official, how can I openly engage in prostitution? Chang Wei pretended to put his heart in his heart.
"Oh?" Shen Cui rolled his eyes and asked, "Fearless, do you want to open another brothel of Feng Laiyi's size in Songjiang?"
Seeing Chang Wei nodding, Shen Cui frowned: "Fearless, then I have to persuade you." The money in Fengyue Field is easy to make and everyone knows it, but how many years has my family been operating in Songjiang, but I have never set foot in this industry, don't you know why?"
"There are more than four in Songjiang, and there are many soldiers, bandits, ruffians, and troublemakers. This is close to Jinshanwei, and the military men not only play with the girls for nothing, but also carry something with them before leaving; the bandits also regard the brothels who run them as fat sheep, and in the past five years, at least three brothel owners have died unexpectedly; not to mention the ruffians on the streets, there are many gangs in the city, and most of the incidents of beating and killing occur in the brothels; in recent years, there have also been many troublemakers, especially those weavers, who have made trouble at every turn, and when they make trouble, the brothels and gambling halls are the first to bear the brunt. You say, even if you have the money and background to open a brothel, but in this environment, do you dare to invest as much as Suzhou Fenglaiyi?"
"Of course, if there is a character like Lord He in Songjiang, let alone you, even my family is going to open one, but unfortunately even several prefects are timid and afraid, and the situation is becoming more and more unmanageable, because everyone is accustomed to it and numb. ”
For Shen Cui, it is best for Chang Wei not to appear in Songjiang, this is his territory, and he doesn't want a strong dragon to intervene, so the severity of Songjiang's law and order should be exaggerated by him, but even so, what he said about 'four more' is also true.
"The more chaotic the better, if it's not chaotic, how can I show my means!"
Chang Wei secretly thought in his heart, if it was just the reason that Shen Cui said, it strengthened Chang Wei's idea of going to Songjiang to open a Jiangnan residence, but in the face of Shen Cui, he made an expression of sudden realization.
Changed the topic and chatted with Shen Cui, he said that because of his busy family affairs, he would not be able to participate in the examination this year, and mentioned the recent situation of several brothers in the same department, Chang Wei turned his eyes to look at the young man next to him, and said, "What kind of business does this brother do?"
"How many of them came to Songjiang not for Songjiang?!" Shen Cui hurriedly smiled, and the young man nodded.
"I think so. Chang Wei smiled, taking the opportunity to take a closer look at him, his hands were slender and slender, and his fingernails were trimmed cleanly, just like his spotless clothes, everything showed that he was a very careful and very particular son of a family.
"Speaking of which, this Yihong Mansion was opened by Ambassador Jin of the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, and if you don't give him a cheer here, the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau may press your goods for a few days. But even here, last year's shopkeeper was not spared and died under the knife of the bandits. Shen Cui changed the topic intentionally or unintentionally, as if he didn't want Chang Wei to talk to your youth.
"There is such a thing?" but secretly exclaimed in his heart 'trouble', if he opened another Jiangnan residence in Songjiang, he would become a competitor of Yihong Mansion, but he would offend the Weaving and Dyeing Bureau, and it would be unwise to make enemies everywhere at the moment of this kind of black hand.
Tang Shuxue's eyes suddenly flashed with a mischievous light, and when she heard this, she smiled hoarsely and said, "Since this is the case, then those who should be honored must be honored." ”
Called out the boss, he ordered more than a dozen girls in one breath, and he even hugged the two girls up and down, she often went in and out of Fenglaiyi, naturally well-informed, at this moment according to the gourd to draw a scoop, it really looks like it.
"This Huang brother is really temperamental!"
Seeing this, Shen Cui let go of his mind and said with a smile: "Fearless, you are a guest in Songjiang, don't think about your identity, let's investigate the wind and moon here!"
"That guy looks like a person, but I didn't expect it to be this virtuous!"
came out of Yihong Mansion and broke up with Shen Cui and the young man. Seeing the two walking away, Tang Shuxue couldn't help but take a sip and said disdainfully.
Chang Wei didn't expect that guy to be so greedy and lustful, the two girls were killed by him, and he himself was still not satisfied after four or five times in a row, or Shen Cui was afraid that he would break his body and shout to stop him, so he stopped.
To indulge yourself like this, I think it is the consequence of the family law being too strict and too restrictive on weekdays. It's just that after this gathering, the relationship between Chang Wei and Shen Cui seems to be much closer.
Yu Piaoling secretly said something in Tang Shuxue's ear, Tang Shuxue glared at her, but couldn't help but laugh and said, "Die, that kind of guy...... When you meet Sister Huan'er's subordinates, it's strange if you don't give away your life, don't hurt people for no reason. ”
"A hungry ghost in the color is better than a willow Megumi who is not messing around, if that young man and your eldest brother are both virtuous, I really don't know how to start!"
In Yihong Mansion, Chang Wei had already thought of a way to deal with that young man, Feng Laiyi's flower world, he should be able to suck out all his bone marrow!
From his hand, he can already dig out a lot of Shen Cui's materials!
In order to prevent Shen Cui from becoming suspicious, Chang Wei returned to Suzhou the next day and went straight to He Chong.
The prefect Chen Qichang was there with He Chong, and when he saw him come in, he hurriedly greeted with a smile: "Guogong, come and see, good news!"
Leaning over to take a look, a hand-copied newspaper said that the teacher Yuan Keli was ordered to compile the "Zhaowu New Deal", and his heart was also very happy, the emperor wanted to repair the "Zhaowu New Deal", obviously wanted to completely defeat the old school from public opinion, so that not to mention the Donglin Party, even the Eunuch Party had to avoid the edge of the Industrial Party.
"Lord Chen is also a good thing, the day before yesterday, the Ministry of Officials commented on the merits, said to be competent, and he had to be awarded the Zhongshun doctor!"
Chang Wei said congratulations, since the Tingzhu case, people with active minds began to turn to Yuan Keli and Chang Kuan, and the industrial party headed by the two also tried their best to win over some talented, reputable, and trendy officials, and gradually formed a group of considerable power in the central and local governments, and many officials in the group have begun to benefit from the implementation of the new policy.
He Chong asked Chang Wei why he suddenly returned to Suzhou, and he picked what happened in Songjiang and said: "Now the plan has changed, Ou Zhengcheng is extremely unfavorable to me in Songjiang, it is best to transfer him away." ”
"He's always on his mind in Suzhou. ”
Chen Qichang pondered for a while, and then said: "The two Zhejiang are the same year as the transfer of salt and the transfer of Sidu Fan Xuemin is my year, and we have a good personal relationship, a few days ago he had a vacancy there and asked me if I had a suitable candidate, I wanted to recommend my nephew, since the Guogong wants to transfer Ou Zhengcheng away, simply cheapen him." ”
Ou Zhengcheng got this position, not only his official position was promoted by one level, but his status in the Jinge Society would also be significantly improved, and he should go to office happily.
Chang Wei gave a commative look, Chen Qichang hurriedly bowed, but his eyes showed joy, everyone knows that Yuan Keli and Chang Kuan and others on the bright side of the Industrial Party, in fact, Chang Wei is the backbone, and if Chang Wei takes a fancy to him, his career will be much smoother, anyway, Chen Qichang has no Austrian aid in the DPRK, and the relationship with Min Chengbi is only general. After talking to Lu Weimi for a long time, he returned to the bamboo garden with joy.
Xue Qian, who knew Chang Wei's itinerary for a long time, cared about coming to Suzhou, Xiao Biesheng was newly married, and after a little nonsense with the girls, it was already sunset.
There were only Chang Wei and Xue Qian in the huge bath of Xiaoshan Zhai, Xue Qian seemed to have no bones after being restrained, and lay lazily in Chang Wei's arms, even when the purple smoke came in, she didn't hear it, until Li'er said that Fang Huan'er had been waiting outside for a long time, she seemed to have come back from heaven, and said with a smile: "Dead girl, why didn't you say it earlier, let your master wait there, wouldn't it be a joke for Sister Fang!"
"It must be Sister Fang, she is sympathetic to you and me. ”
Chang Wei smiled, helped Xue Qian aside, and stood up by herself, her strong body and the dragon king who was still holding her head high and angry fell into Li'er's eyes, and she was so ashamed that she hurriedly turned her head.
"Your master is tired, let her rest a little longer. Wiped her body dry, twisted her face, and then pulled the long shirt in her hand, draped it indiscriminately, and walked out of the bathroom.
In the study, the setting sun outlines a moving shadow, and it is Fang Huan'er who is checking the collection of books in front of the bookcase.
"Grandpa Guo, the books you read are really miscellaneous!" she said casually when she heard the sound of the bathroom door.
Putting the book back on the lattice, she turned around, saw Chang Wei's outfit, and sneered: "Master, is this how you usually meet guests?"
"You're not an outsider!"
Chang Wei replied with a smile, knowing that he didn't have an inch under his robe, and he couldn't help but feel spring when he walked, but he didn't care at all, he used a fire hook to flick the charcoal fire in the furnace, boiled a pot of Huishan spring water, and then sat in Fang Huan'er's arms, took a long breath, and said, "I'm really tired." ”
"I don't know how to cherish myself!" Fang Huan'er's eyes were full of brilliance.
"You don't know, Fu Zhouzi, this kid has strict military laws, and he manages the military camp like a prison, and he is my friend, how can I be embarrassed to violate his military regulations, but I have been guarding myself like jade for seven days in a row, and I finally came back for a trip, if I don't indulge, wouldn't I be sorry for myself!"
"Crooked, giggle!"
She smiled and asked, "Ye came back suddenly this time, did something happen to Songjiang?"
He recounted what happened in Songjiang in detail from beginning to end, and said: "Ruyu has already asked his subordinates to nail Shen Cui's every move, as long as Shen Cui and Okita trade, the army will immediately go out to destroy him." As for that young man, he hasn't figured out the origin yet, and it is likely that he is Shen Cui's helper, but since he is so greedy, Huan'er, just give him one of Feng Laiyi's four children!
"The four children were originally prepared for the master, let alone one, it doesn't matter if the remaining three are given to him, as long as the master thinks he is worth it. ”
Fang Huan'er smiled and said, "A girl like Sixiao, Feng Laiyi can cultivate it in half a year." ”
"Then let's see who he is!"
For a few days in a row, Chang Wei in addition to the liaison official business of suppressing the Japanese camp, was to set up a dragon gate array in the Tianming Teahouse, and then led his wife and concubine to eat and drink the east and drink the west on Nanhao Street, and had a great time.
The weather is gradually getting warmer, Nanhao Street has also regained its vitality, and Lao Sanwei is full. Suzhou people are also gradually familiar with Chang Wei, seeing him bring his family in, many people greeted warmly, and some people were busy giving up seats, and for a time the shed was full of people and lively.
"Grandpa Guo, listen to my junior say that Liu Mazhu'er in the east of the city has gathered a group of little rabbit cubs to do evil......"
"Old man, don't worry, Liu Mazhuan has been in the government prison yesterday. ”
"Grandpa Guo, the girl from Li Laoshi's family in the west of the city was raped, I don't know if the murderer was caught?"
"The murderer Wang Er's scar has already been punished, in fact, how stupid he is, he is strong, he works for ten days and half a month, and the money he earns is enough to go to Fenglaiyi Kuaixue Hall, isn't it thousands of times stronger than giving away his life!"
To put it bluntly, this is how the official voice is built, and the people's hearts are also held in the palm of their hands, compared to those who hide in their official mansions all day long to have fun, the approachable and high-powered Chang Wei is much more popular, at the beginning everyone had to kneel and kowtow when they saw him, and now they dare to approach their sides to say hello and chat.
