: Those who know the current affairs are handsome

Lu Guangzu obviously did not take Princess Changping's rectification seriously. After half of his words, he ate a few bites of tofu, and then continued to say: "Liulichang is a Dengshi Market. Dongjiang Mi Lane gathers many yamen of five ministries and six government offices. Qianshi Hutong is full of money houses. In addition, it is a grassland courtyard where private prostitutes gather. The floating cash registers that can be brought are no less than the filial piety of Qianshi Hutong. The most profitable transactions in the world are nothing more than prostitutes and gambling houses. While the grassland courtyard has a large number of prostitutes, there are also many gambling houses. It is said that every day, it is humble to make money."

When Liu Etou heard this, his face felt a little proud. He had a prostitute in an alley and five or six gambling houses.

While earning a lot of money, he was also valued by the officials in the capital.

Over the years, I have been doing two things: I used the money I had in my hands to buy a lot of land. The second was to invite famous teachers for my sons, and spent a lot of money to hire Mr. Xixi from Jiangxi.

I hope that the sons at home can be a high school student. There is no need to have many. As long as there is one, he can go from a rascal who can stab the backbone of the people to an official and gentry who will only be trembling when the people see them.

I don’t know what happened to the Feng Shui at home. I spent a lot of money, and my son was more wasteful than others.

Not to mention a juren who was in the provincial examination in high school, even Tong Sheng did not have the fame and fortune, and he could not pass the county examination.

However, he is more proficient in eating, drinking, whore and gambling.

Lu Guangzu saw the pride on Liu Etou's face and guessed what he was thinking. He had taken half of the peace of mind.

He continued to speak and gave him a reassurance for his other half: "The Caochangyuan not only involves the silver-profits of the Five Cities Military Affairs Office, but also the silver-profits of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, the Censorate, and even the Twenty-Fourth Yamen and the Capital City. One of these Yamen was taken out alone and placed on Princess Changping's head, which made her breathless mountain, let alone all the Yamen blocked her from front of her."

Speaking of this, Lu Guangzu couldn't help but shake his head again, without mocking or disgusting, but said in a normal tone: "Princess Changping thought he was the eldest princess of the past? Now he was just a deposed concubine princess, and there was no power to fight against the five cities and other yamen. Even if she was still the eldest princess of the past, what could it be? Just the eunuch in the twenty-four yamen is enough for her to drink a pot."

When Liu Etou heard that the grassland courtyard had also involved the three camps in the capital, this was the most powerful force of military officers stationed in the capital, he couldn't help but feel other thoughts.

There is no way out for several sons to participate in the imperial examination. It is better to send them to the Beijing camp to serve as soldiers. As the imperial guards in the capital, they do not need to fight to death at the border.

As long as Liu Etou is willing to spend money, he then connects the three major camps of the capital through Lu Guangzu. It should be no big problem to arrange his son to be a military officer.

Whether it is a civil servant or a military officer, as long as you can become an official, it is enough.

"I heard that Liuquanju has recently opened a batch of aged wines. The villain is working on the job today and asks thousands of households to give him some face."

Liu Etou had money in his hand, but he knew very well that the current business was not a long-term solution.

Now that I saw the way, I immediately rushed up and invited Lu Guangzu to Liuquanju to have a drink.

Drinking is just a cover. The real purpose is to give a large sum of silver as filial piety and arrange several sons at home to join the imperial guards in the Beijing camp.

All the things Sun Chuanting wanted to say and what he didn't say came from Lu Guangzu's mouth.

Lu Guangzu was already involved, and what he said just now was a lot of truth.

It was much more meticulous than what Sun Chuanting said in person, and it was obviously said to Sun Chuanting.

Thinking that when Sun Chuanting took over the military power one day, it was the time to use people, I remembered that there was a military officer on the banks of the Jinshui River that could help him get money, so I would promote him.

With Lu Guangzu's scheming and scheming, he is much deeper than some guerrilla generals and sect generals on the border, which is a reason for a talent.

If Sun Chuanting was a military leader who was devoted to forming cliques and making personal gains, he would probably have been promoted because of today's conversation.

Unfortunately, Lu Guangzu gave the wrong letter of confession and would never be recruited by Sun Chuanting in his life.

Sun Chuanting waited until Lu Guangzu took Liu Etou and others away, turned his face and looked at Li Mian a few times: "What Lu Guangzu wanted to say just now is exactly what Sun wants to tell Jin Guan. There is no need to say it now. I wonder what Jin Guan feels in his heart? Just as Lu Guangzu said, there are too many yamen in front of Princess Changping, so we should put aside the rectification of the grassland courtyard for the time being and follow Sun to Daxing County to make some attempts to abandon the grain and change the sea."

The yamen standing in front of Princess Changping is not just a mountain, it is simply a chasm.

Whether it is the three camps in the capital or the twenty-four yamen, Princess Changping cannot afford to be guilty.

The word "The eldest princess" in Lu Guangzu's words is also an offense to the yamen behind the drafting grounds.

Li Mian remained silent and did not respond to Sun Chuanting's inquiry, as if he had agreed to retreat to advance.

Mr. Sun nodded: "Sometimes, some things cannot be done blindly. There is also a saying in military tactics that avoid the real and attack the virtual, which is even more so in the court. If you want to remove the accumulated problems of the grassland courtyard, you cannot be in a hurry. Everything must be discussed for a long time. It is time to make some attempts until your grandson serves as the governor of the three camps in the capital. Judging from the current situation, you and Princess Changping should not be too entangled with the grassland courtyard that involves many yamen. "

It is rare for Mr. Sun to persuade a certain official and gentleman to speak earnestly today because he valued Li Mian through his understanding during this period.

Unexpectedly, because of the bad policies of the grassland courtyard, Li Mian hit the south wall, which caused dissatisfaction among the five cities' military officials, the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate and other yamen.

The other yamen can be ignored, and the three camps and twenty-four yamen in the capital can be ignored. It’s just that one jailer is enough to make Princess Changping and Li Mian fall into a big fall.

Sun Chuanting looked at Li Mian's back as he left. He did not say anything reckless before leaving, nor did he break through the south wall for the sake of face like the officials and gentry in the capital.

While Sun Chuanting was relieved, he finally stopped his future money and grain master, and he also had some regrets: "I originally wanted to use the means of rectifying the grassland and taking a look at Jin Guan's method. It seems that I can only keep this regret and see you when I go to Daxing County."

Yuan Gong stroked his beard: "At his age, it is a rare character to know the current situation clearly. He can see the current situation and his vision is still as unique as ever. It seems that when he goes to Daxing County, he must bring Li Mian with him."
