Forty-eight years of Qianlong

Chapter 692

He Shen heard Zhao Xin's words, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes, and he sneered, "I don't need to worry about this matter. Your Majesty's dragon body is in good health and has a long life. Mr. Zhao doesn't need to provoke the relationship with Prince X and Jia. "

Zhao Xin nodded and said with a playful expression: "Speaking of Fushou, I think of a stele, which is said to be written by Kangxi to his grandmother. Do you know where the stele is now?"

The muscles on He Shen's face twitched a few times, his originally fair and thin face became even paler under the light, and his heart was filled with turmoil.How could he even know about this? !
Speaking of the origin of that stele, it has to be traced back to the 12th year of Kangxi. It was written by Kangxi to pray to his grandmother, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang Wen. It was later engraved into a stele and has been treasured in the Forbidden City.

A few years ago, He Shen dared to bribe the eunuch to smuggle the stele out of the palace, and then hid it in a cave in the back garden of his home, tightly inlaid on a Taihu stone.

He did this very secretly, not many people even in the mansion knew about it.You must know that stealing the treasures of Da Nei is a serious crime against the Jiu Clan. No matter how much Qianlong favored him, if he knew that he even dared to steal the "Fu character stele", he would have to be skinned.

Zhao Xin said again: "Master He must be thinking, how do I even know about this? Do I still have eyeliner in the palace? I advise you not to bother."

He Shen is really crazy now. He doesn't know how many secrets Zhao Xin still knows about him. The more he thinks about it, the more afraid he becomes. What do you want? As long as you don’t hurt the emperor or He X’s family, everything else is easy to discuss.”

"Then I'll be straightforward." Zhao Xin smiled and said, "I'll give you a month to make a list of the land, farms and shops you hold, the specific location, size, and the name of the holder. It must be clearly written, and then signed and pledged. One month later, our people will contact Liu Quan, and when the time comes, we will make a trip to Steward Liu and hand over the list to the person who comes."

He Shen's eyes widened, and he said in amazement: "You are really thinking about He's family property!"

That's right, Zhao Xin came here because he was thinking about He Shen's family property, but it was definitely an accident to meet him.

Two weeks ago, a male traveler from Beihai Town Elementary School suffered from acute angina pectoris. Although he was rescued by Wu Xianhou and others, considering that he was nearly seventy years old, it would be troublesome if something happened again.So Zhao Xin called Hong Tao to discuss with the other party, and finally reached an agreement to send him back to reunite with his family and recuperate.

Since you want to go back, you can't just make a trip just for this matter, and then the civil affairs, health, propaganda, and military-industrial complexes all dumped a bunch of purchase lists; including medicines, medical equipment, books, fertilizers, and pesticides , milling machines, drilling machines, agricultural tractors, cranes, off-road vehicles, trucks, broadcasting equipment, small generators and related accessories, there are a lot of them.Since the development of the Nenjiang Plain will be started before the spring of next year, Chen Qingsong alone needs to add another [-] crawler tractors.

As a result, Zhao Xin had to wait for a while in another time and space before returning to Beihai Town, at least he had to wait until all the most urgently needed supplies arrived.Then what to do to pass the time next, you can't stay at home every day, can you?
wave?Forget it, kidneys are precious, and it's rare to be able to be alone for a few days, so don't waste them.

Go to the Forbidden City to see Qianlong?What is there to see about a dying old man, and the security of the Forbidden City makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it.

After thinking about it, Zhao Xin finally set his target on He Shen.In the past two years, with the implementation of the plan of "driving tigers and wolves away", he can't help thinking about one thing, that is, if He Shen leaves Beijing, what will happen to his property?

Of course gold, silver, jewelry and antiques can be taken away, but there is also a large amount of real estate including 75 houses, 42 hectares of land, [-] pawn shops and [-] silver houses!

This is more than 50 mu of land!And most of them are in the Zhili area, even for Zhao Xin, who has no shortage of money and land, he can't help but be tempted.

Not to mention that with so much land in hand, the land reform in the Zhili area will be much easier after entering the customs; moreover, after Beihai Town enters the customs, it will also need to requisition a large amount of land as industrial and construction land. To build a new administrative center, at least hundreds of thousands of acres are needed; in addition, if the pawnshops and banks under Heshen's name are controlled, it will also be of great help to stabilize the financial order in Zhili and even the northern region.

However, there is the biggest trouble here. Without the land deed and house deed, the location of the land store cannot be found out.At that time, when He Shen rolls up the bedroll and runs away, it will become a complete bad debt.

Put pressure on it through Beihai Town's intelligence station in the capital?Then Zhao Xinxian had to go to "Huang Shengtai" on Qianmen Street to find someone.The problem is that the shopkeeper Guo has a one-way connection with Xu Dayong, and he doesn't know himself.And even if he was dressed in disguise, he couldn't hide his height. If he appeared in Qianmen Street in the Qing Dynasty, he would definitely attract the attention of others and bring risks to the shopkeeper Guo.

Zhao Xin spent a few days thinking about it, and finally decided not to bother too much, and simply went to the back cover building of the Hefu to find out in person according to the research of historians.Anyway, with his perverted skills, even if someone finds out, he can just leave.

As I said before, there are a total of 111 rooms in the back building of Heshen Mansion, which are divided into upper and lower floors.The lower floor is a row of rectangular windows, while the upper floor has 45 brick-carved windows of various shapes, including square, round, peach-shaped, fan-shaped, pomegranate-shaped, scroll-shaped, and Fuqing Youyu-shaped, etc. Not repeated.It is said that because Heshen embezzled so many belongings that he couldn't remember them himself, and it was even more difficult to put them together; so he sorted those treasures into different rooms, corresponding to different windows.Just by looking at the windows, you can tell whether the piles of jade, calligraphy and painting or jewelry in this room are piled up.

After making a plan and deliberating it over and over again, Zhao Xin booked tickets in advance to visit Prince Gong's Mansion in the afternoon, and then wandered around for more than two hours; until the museum closed at [-] pm, he was in He found a surveillance blind spot near the back building, and then arrived at He Shen's mansion without anyone noticing.

Because he had already prepared the weapons in advance, he thought that in case the servants of Hefu found out, he would give the opponent an anesthesia injection first.But fortunately, everything went well, and he was completely unnoticed when he appeared, and then Zhao Xin slipped into a servant's room, hid under the bed, thinking that he would wait until it was dark before doing anything.Unexpectedly, when he came out on tiptoe and was about to pick the lock, he bumped into He Shen who was about to enter the Shuifa building, and that's how he got out later.

Seeing He Shen's surprised face, Zhao Xin smiled: "You can't take it with you anyway, so why do you want to have so much?"

He Shen argued without confidence: "Why do you?!"

"Behind me there are [-] Beihai Navy! Beihai Town has occupied thousands of miles of mountains and rivers outside the customs! I just want to grab the land gathered by you corrupt officials and distribute it to the landless peasants all over the world, so that the common people can change their way of life! If I don't come , you people can only drag this country into the abyss of eternal doom!"

"So this is the reason why you forced the gentry to sell the land in Shandong. Are you not afraid of offending the gentry in the world? I would like to advise you that since ancient times, the emperor has ruled the world with the scholar-officials, not with the common people. You are simply doing it yourself. Mess with the foundation, nonsense!"

"Hehe, Mr. He, haven't you understood after all these years?"

"Understand what?"

"The foundation of Beihai Town has never been gentry and scholar-bureaucrats, but the common people you despise."

"You want to equalize the land?" He Shen felt that he understood what Zhao Xin was thinking, so he laughed and said, "Your Excellency originally wanted to learn from Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, which is ridiculous! Do you know how many people there were in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and how many people there are in the world today?" How many Dingkou? Now not only in the Central Plains, even in the southern provinces, there is almost no land to be cultivated!"

"That's right! If it weren't for you people's frantic annexation of land, how did Beihai Town grow in size these years?"

"Uh"

He Shen thought for a while and said: "Mr. Zhao is in the military field, and Ling He admires it. Although He is not good at this, it can be seen that you use troops like a national player, plan carefully, and move accurately and ruthlessly. Step by step, I surrounded the Qing Dynasty! But Mr. Zhao, since ancient times, conquering the world is completely different from sitting in the world. Ruling the world depends on moral writing, not who has a big fist. You are so forceful to buy the land of the gentlemen and rob people. Family property, ruining the way of life, are you not afraid that everyone will fight with you?!"

"My lord, do you know what a revolution is?"

"Mr. Zhao is testing me? Although He is not talented, he also knows the truth that 'the revolution of heaven and earth is formed in four seasons, and the revolution of Tang and Wu follows the sky and responds to people'."

"What you're talking about is change of dynasty, or the theory of destiny." Zhao Xin smiled contemptuously, and then slowly uttered the famous saying about "revolution" in another time and space, which made He Shen dumbfounded.

"Is this the reason why you came here to extort a certain property?"

"My lord, you are well versed in the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit. The warehouse that Ma 83 rented in Anping Port, how much gold and silver from corruption and bribery have been transported into it in the past few years, you know it well, and I know it too. But I always Didn't move, do you know why?"

He Shen stared at Zhao Xin full of hatred, speechless.Sun Shiyi, Liu Yong and others could still argue about this, but he, the biggest corrupt official in the Qianlong Dynasty, really lacked confidence.

"Gold and silver are nothing to me. Treasures and antiques are nothing more than items used to exchange funds. They are not suitable for food or clothing. But the land is of great use to me, and you can't take it away. Instead of cheapening others for nothing, it's better Leave it to me, and you will do a good deed for the world."

"."

"I might as well tell you, do you know why your master pampered you so much? He has cultivated a money bag for his successor, a super big wallet with accumulated wealth exceeding the annual income of the Qing Dynasty! As long as he walks , Yong Yan and countless others will jump out to clean you up, no matter how much you flatter, it’s useless, there is only one end, and you will die by stealing your home!”

"He Mouxin is loyal to the emperor and the Qing Dynasty!"

"Do you believe this yourself? Have there been 'loyal ministers' who have been greedy for hundreds of millions? Thanks to your words! If you don't die, many people will have trouble sleeping and eating! Yong Yan, Yong Lin, Fu Kang'an, Zhu Gui, Wang Jie, and even Liu Yong, have been trying to deal with you for a long time. Do you think they are afraid of you? They are afraid of Qianlong behind you! But he is 82, 7384, if the king of Hades doesn’t invite you, you think he can still protect you how long?"

He Shen was really scared now, and Zhao Xin expressed the fear that had been buried in his heart.His face changed from bright to dark, and he looked at Zhao Xin in a contemptuous manner, "If someone and I go to Mr. Zhao, will there be a place for us?"

Zhao Xin sneered a few times, and said, "My lord, based on what you have done, where do you think you can hide? If I take you in, what will the people below think?"

In other words, no matter how capable He Shen is, Beihai Town can't take it.Zhao Xin once discussed this matter with Yu Deli, Chen Qingsong, Wang Zhong and others, and everyone agreed that this person is a poisonous vine and poisonous weed clinging to the big tree of the Qing Dynasty, and they depended on each other.If Beihai Town tolerated He Shen, it would definitely be the result of a rat dropping.

Speaking of this, He Shen already had some concerns in his heart.He pondered for a moment, and asked the biggest question for the Manchu court.

"Mr. Zhao, He has asked his subordinates to check the household registration yellow books all over the world over the years, but they just can't find the details of the big bosses in your Beihai Town. How dare you ask where you are from? Your Excellency once typed Zhu Ming Banner, may I ask what is your relationship with Zhu Ming's last king of Zhao? Who did you learn the official dialect of a bannerman who is full of eloquence?"

Zhao Xin smiled slightly, thought for a while and said, "My lord, let's make an agreement."

"Please say."

"When you are dying, no matter how far away you are, just send me a letter, and I will tell you. Even if I'm not here, someone will tell you."

Even though he knew that Zhao Xin's method was mysterious, He Shen still couldn't believe it.He thought that the other party just didn't want to talk, so he said casually, "A gentleman?"

"Hurry up!" Zhao Xin raised his hand and looked at his watch, and found that it was almost nine o'clock, and said, "It's almost time to talk, and I should leave. But I have to trouble you and adults to see me off, just in case If you go the wrong way, it’s not good to break into the women’s house.”

He Shen cursed in his heart, you sneaked into the back house quietly, and you still licked your face and asked me to see you off?But how dare he not agree, he could only lead the way with a livid face.

After the two left the Shuifa building, Liu Yin led the way, walked south along the passage across the courtyard on the west side, and passed through several gates in turn.The servants I met on the road saw their masters saluting one after another, and He Shen didn't answer, and walked briskly with their heads muffled.All the servants saw Zhao Xin, who was tall and burly, following He Shen. Although they felt that this man was strange, no one dared to ask.

After about a stick of incense, he finally arrived at the gate at the southeast corner of the Hefu. Liu Yin didn't bother to call the gatekeeper, and went straight forward to remove the latch.Just as the servants in the concierge were about to come out, He Shen yelled coldly: "Go back! Don't come out!"

The few people were startled, they could still recognize their master's voice, but they didn't know what happened, they didn't dare to breathe while standing in the door.

Not long after, the vermilion door was slowly opened by Liu Yin, Zhao Xin stepped out, stood on the steps and cupped his hands to He Shen who was inside the door: "My lord, one month, remember."

After saying that, he went down the steps, turned to the right, and disappeared at the door.At this time, Liu Yin, who was standing in the door, couldn't help but peeped out, but found that there was not even a ghost in the deep and dark alley. Zhao Xin seemed to disappear out of thin air, and he gasped in fright!
He Shen asked anxiously, "Is he gone?"

"Grandpa, it's gone!"

"what?!"

"Damn the slave!" Liu Yin raised his hand and smacked himself, explaining: "He went west tomorrow, but he's just so good at work, so, he's gone!"

"His!"

"Master, do you want your slave to follow me?"

"Your head is squeezed by the door, and your brain is still swollen! Do you know who he is? You don't want to live!"

"Damn the slave!" Liu Yinxin said, I don't know who he is.

He Shen rubbed his forehead that was tense from the cold wind, collected himself, and whispered to Liu Yin: "Go and call your father, I have something to tell him!"

Liu Quan will come soon.When he learned that Zhao Xin had suddenly appeared in the backyard of Hefu, he was frightened to death.After that, he discussed with He Shen in the study until late at night, and finally admitted that what the other party said was indeed reasonable.If Beihai Town takes down Shengjing and then learns from Zhang Xianzhong, Qianlong will be pissed off if he doesn't agree.

After that, He Shen spent a few days thinking about it, and finally decided on He Lin, who was closely united and held military power, and started to transfer the family property to Kunming, using Yungui as his strategy of retreat.He felt that since Zhao Xin wanted He Lin to fight Burma for Beihai Town and fight the British, then he would definitely provide support; with military power and quick guns, Yong Yan would not dare to touch himself.

As for the list of land properties and shops that Zhao Xin wanted, even though He Shen was in pain, he had no choice but to ask Liu Quan to lead someone to count and list them.There is no way, Zhao Xin's visit this time really scared him.
