Chapter 169 The Fifth Warrior
Recently, many novel things have appeared in the capital.
Xie Yu hadn't come to the capital for a long time. He transported a batch of silk from Jiangnan to Beijing and found that many people sold the capital.
Shuo is a scarce cargo, brought by Franchise merchants. They would not bring too much to the Ming Dynasty.
He walked to the store in confusion and Xie Yu smiled at him: "Boss, where did you buy the goods from?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I will sell it to you if you want it. If you want it, I will spare you if you want it." After that, my face turned dark.
Those who do business will not easily disclose the source of goods, and will destroy their own jobs.
Xie Yu knows the rules.
After the boss left, Xie Yu took out a tael of silver and secretly stuffed it to the shop's friend: "Brother, where did you get in from?"
The guy looked back and whispered: "I'm from Liangxiang, I advise you not to go. The refugees gathered there and have become a nest of bandits. I heard from the shopkeeper that he had encountered bandits several times and spent a lot of money to get out."
Xie Yu felt strange. He was put back, why did he even put back the goods?
Could it be that bandits don’t know what they are worth?
He also encountered bandits from Jiangnan to the capital. He had some experience, but he was not as scared as ordinary people.
After asking other workers, they also said that they were purchased from Liangxiang.
Xie Yu returned to the inn and hid it very softly, so he decided to take his two friends to Liangxiang.
The road from the capital to Liangxiang County was a bit far away. After walking for more than an hour, there was no sign of people in the dense forest road and it was prone to thieves and bandits. Xie Yu wiped his sweat and did not dare to stop and continued on the way.
As I walked, I found a tattered sedan chair in front of me, and it seemed that I was going to Liangxiang.
Xie Yu hurriedly followed.
The sky is shining brightly and the breeze is gentle.
Yan Chengjin came to Liangxiang County in a sedan chair. Inadvertently, he saw from the rearview mirror that a suspicious middle-aged man followed him with two friends, "Go and ask why he wanted to follow my master's sedan chair."
How could I trot over? After a while, I trot back: "Young Master, I came from the capital. I want to go to Liangxiang, but I am afraid of meeting thieves and want to go with us."
"Well, let them keep a distance of thirty steps." Yan Chengjin frowned.
Where can there be bandits in Liangxiang? It is purely a bad businessman who spread rumors.
After Lao Gandad made a big sale in the capital, a bold profiteer came to Liangxiang County and purchased a lot of goods. Yan Chengjin thought that they would return to the capital to promote it.
Who knew that not only did they not promote it, but instead spread rumors.
Tens of thousands of refugees flocked to Liangxiang County, and countless rumors were rumored. Some people said that refugees occupied land and became kings and became bandits. Some even more exaggerated ones said that the county magistrate Zhang Xian had long been cut into eight sections by refugees and was preparing to rebel.
There are a large number of refugees gathering in Liangxiang, and I dare not come after saying this.
Only a few businessmen knew that Liangxiang had long become a Taobao place.
Yan Chengjin decided to refute the rumors three days later.
When you reach the border of Liangxiang, you will be completely renewed within your sight.
Those countless straw huts have been ordered by Zhang Xian to move to the southwest corner of Liangxiang.
Xie Yu entered Liangxiang and looked at everything in front of him. The shops were lined up in rows. Although the streets were dilapidated, they were very clean. The rumored refugees were not visible, and only some merchants were shopping.
The plaque had three words "optic shop" written on it. He walked into the shop and saw it neatly placed on the shelves, "What is this?"
"This is a monocular. You look like a boss from Beijing? Do you want to buy goods? I'll make it cheaper for you." The waiter greeted.
Looking at the merchants, Xie Yu understood that the owners in the capital lied to the people and said that this was a place of bandits, but he secretly came to buy goods.
"How much money can I pay on credit?"
The waiter smiled and said, "Boss, who are you looking for when you run away?"
Xie Yu was so angry that he scolded his grandma.
These cheating dogs made him hide the silver in the capital, and he didn't bring any dime at this moment.
Yan Chengjin came to Liangxiang Yamen.
Zhang Xian said angrily: "As the censor, he is a censor, and he is accusing the government and the people. Why don't he impeach or deny the rumors?"
The merchants in the capital made rumors and said that he had been cut into eight sections, which became more and more outrageous.
"Impeachment, be cautious."
Yan Chengjin resettled refugees in order to gain the trust of Emperor Hongzhi.
This thing is much more useful than the gold medal of death.
Although Emperor Hongzhi trusts him now, on the other hand, the more he is, the better.
Now he is not a member of the Cabinet boy group, and he is even more distant from debuting at the C position.
Emperor Hongzhi cared about refugees and summer and autumn taxes.
In addition to making money from the refugees, Yan Chengjin also wanted the imperial treasury to receive money from the imperial treasury and unify the commercial taxes of the Ming Dynasty.
It's like unifying weights and measures.
But this approach is extremely difficult. This will harm the interests of the gentry and tax supervisors. Even Wang Busui is unwilling to do so, so he has to think of a way.
Of course he couldn't rush forward, so Zhang Xian was so naughty.
"In two days, I will refute the rumors, so you don't have to worry." Yan Chengjin said.
In the past two days, there have been many gentry from the capital city, but none of them are willing to stay here to rent a shop.
Because Liangxiang County uses new systems, commercial taxes and cash, while Beijing also uses old systems, just deliver goods.
The gentry would rather take the goods back to the capital and sell them, and deceive the people into making trouble, than staying in a good town.
The next morning, Zhu Houzhao was tired of staying in the palace and was bored and ran to Yan's house for fun.
Yan Chengjin is about to go to Liangxiang.
"Old Gao! I knew it was you when I saw the sedan chair." Zhu Houzhao's smiled voice came.
Yan Chengjin had a dark face: "Your Highness has run out of the palace again?"
"I saw that you hadn't entered the palace for a few days, so I rode a horse out. What are you going to do?" Zhu Houzhao blinked.
"I won't go anywhere, Your Highness will go back to the palace."
Yan Chengjin got out of the sedan chair and returned to the mansion. He saw that Zhu Houzhao had left before he went to Liangxiang.
Unexpectedly, I saw Zhu Houzhao in Liangxiang...
Zhu Houzhao was sarcastic and obviously a little angry: "Didn't you say you won't go anywhere!"
This guy must have inquired about the secret whistle of the Jinyiwei.
"To be honest, I found the fifth warrior who assisted His Highness." Yan Chengjin bowed seriously.
Zhu Houzhao blinked and looked at Yan Chengjin with caution.
After a while, I arrived at Liangxiang Yamen.
Yan Chengjin reminded: "This is Your Highness, Zhang Xian, why don't you give your salute?"
Zhang Xian had never seen Zhu Houzhao, so he quickly bowed and bowed: "Since Zhang Xian, please see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Yan Chengjin said to Zhu Houzhao: "This is the magistrate of Liangxiang, Zhang Xian, and the warrior His Highness is looking for."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Yan Chengjin suspiciously, then looked at Zhang Xian, and was displeased: "Old Gao, why do I feel that the warriors can be picked up on the street?"
Yan Chengjin said: "Your Highness doesn't know that Lord Zhang has placed tens of thousands of refugees in Shuntian Prefecture so that he can't express his talent. It's definitely not as simple as his face."
Zhu Houzhao pinched Yan Chengjin's neck: "If you fool me, I will not be angry. What I am angry is that you fool me in front of outsiders, I will be very unrestrained."
You must be clamped by a donkey's butt, and you must also pay attention to the face-to-face arrangement when fooled.
Zhu Houzhao calmed down: "What do you want to fool me?"
"I want your highness to... accept him."
Zhang Xiantou is very strong, but his official position is a little small, and Liangxiang County is the birthplace of the new tax law, so he has to find a backer for him.
Yan Chengjin was a little worried. Zhu Houzhao was extremely smart and didn't want to be fooled, and he wouldn't listen to anyone's words.
Zhu Houzhao hesitated for a moment, took out a booklet from her arms, and handed it to Zhang Xian with some disgust: "I will give you a to-determined before I can verify your identity."
