I am the king of the dead

Chapter 267 Three Treasures of Fulu
"Give the bureaucrats of the official residence a night today, and let them go to the Luming Banquet to show their faces." Zhu Qiyu explained to Lu Zhong his big fishing plan.

Jinshi in the new department is a group of small fish and shrimps, Zhu Qiyu wants to catch giants!
Lu Zhong scratched his head and said: "Today, all the invitations from the scholars were rejected by the Beijing officials, and they also specifically told Jin Yiwei not to let the person who handed the invitations go."

Ok?
Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a while and said: "Did they reject the invitation before I said to let the night go? How could it be... like this?"

"Lianqi hastily draws the drums and makes noise. Xijun wins the championship and returns. The golden chrysanthemum urges the banquet, and the red pistil will wait for the spring to enter the customs."

"What a scene. Everyone is raising people together and going to Beijing for the exam. Some people are happy and some are worried. How sad."

"Hurry up and let them participate, I will let them go at night, let Tiqi not close the gate, let Jinshi go invite Ming Gong to the banquet!"

The Luming Banquet was originally a natural fish nest.

Xing'an is already ready, this time I will take this opportunity to check it out.

That's good, it's okay to just reject the invitation?
Absolutely not!

Lu Zhong sighed and said in a low voice, "Then minister, go and try."

Lu Zhong brought Tiqi to the Shiyongfang mansion in the capital, took out his whistle, and blew it vigorously.

The vicious dog immediately went to the kennel. Someone specially checked the number of vicious dogs. Lu Zhongcai carried a gong used by a watchman, walked over and over again and shouted: "Your Majesty's decree, today's gold list titles will be released for one day, be careful Candle."

Lu Zhong walked through the big and small Yongfang, looked at the closed doors of every family, and sighed.

The door of the square was opened, the fierce dogs were taken away, and many book boys and servants rushed into the mansion, inviting these court officials to a feast, but every household closed their doors tightly.

Meeting guests?

Do not accept invitations.

Can you be fooled by the powerful Beijing official who lives in the official residence from the local government, the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy?

Let the night go?Isn't it just to make a nest with the Lu Ming Banquet?
Who has never seen the same!
Last time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was released at night, and everyone was at home, so they figured out the taste.

One Li Binyan in the Ming Dynasty Hall is enough.

Hu Wei was writing hard at home, but it was already late, he was an old man, and it became even more difficult to read the words clearly at night.

Hu Changxiang shook his head, took Hu Wei's pen and said with a smile on his face, "Father, tell me, let me write it, and my father will check it tomorrow."

Hu Changxiang is the second son of Hu Min, who favored a commander who didn't take things seriously. His older brother, Hu Changning, had already passed away.

Hu Changxiang wanted to take the imperial examination, but Hu Wei thought that he was the first of the six parts, which would make it difficult for the chief examiner to take the exam. Hu Changxiang said that he would not let Hu Changxiang take the imperial examination until he left.

Just to avoid suspicion.

Seeing his father's position as stable as Mount Tai, full of energy, Hu Changxiang gradually gave up the idea of ​​the imperial examination.

Hu Changxiang is already 45 years old, and it is not suitable for him to take the imperial examination and mix with a group of young people, and to be an official in the same dynasty.

Others said that his father was a traitor, and sometimes they ridiculed him.

But since his mother passed away, there has not even been a stepmother in the mansion, so how come the word treacherous?
Hu Changxiang continued to write about his father's unfinished medical skills.

While writing, he asked: "Today's Lu Ming Banquet, won't father go to participate? In previous years, father would always go."

Jiangsu is a province with a heavy scientific examination. It can admit more than 20 people every year. This year, nearly 30 people were admitted, which is almost on par with Shandong.

Hu Yan sneered, shook his head and said, "Is that the Luming Banquet? I won't go to have a feast and show off."

"You don't want to get involved in these things, our family has also kindly arranged a brocade guard, and there is a bit of salary left and right, don't toss around, just fold my old bones into it."

"I can't save you."

Hu Changxiang could only shake his head, he didn't even have any fame, how could he attend the Luming Banquet?

He immersed himself in the writing of the scroll, he thought for a while and said: "My child is not capable of writing, and I plan to work in the Imperial Hospital."

Hu Wei is a minister of the Ministry of Rites. This is his first identity, and his second identity is a doctor. Hu Changxiang didn't learn his father's ability to be an official. It was too difficult, but this medical skill has been inherited seven or eighty-eight.

If you can't succeed in the essay, it's because your father doesn't let you take the imperial examination.

But he is good at medicine. If he can go to the Tai Hospital to work, at least it will be a job. If he stays at home all day, he might as well go to the doctor with a medicine box on his back.

"Is that where people go? You didn't know it was the Palace of the King of Hades!"

Hu Wei looked at his son, frowned and said, "Aren't you afraid? Every time I go there, I feel that place is sinister."

Hu Changxiang nodded and said: "My boy has already been there once, it's not a big deal, but it solved many years of doubts."

"Then you can go to the Tai Hospital."

Hu Changxiang knew about Hu Changxiang's medical skills, and the Imperial Hospital selects them every year, so it is not a problem to be admitted as an imperial physician.

"Hey, I know, if you don't mention your father's name, you will save your family from being ashamed."

"I don't have any feathers either, so I don't know what to cherish." Hu Changxiang said with a smile.

Hu Yi leaned back on the chair, and said with a sneer: "What do you know about the affairs of the court! Your father and I are the number one treacherous official in the world! As long as His Majesty still uses me, no one can touch me. "

The Evergreen Tree of Ming Dynasty is quite confident.

Zhu Qiyu didn't catch any fish, and Lu Mingyan, a group of Jinshi who had just entered the official career, seemed too immature in the confrontation between imperial power and ministerial power.

None of the Minggongs in the court will participate, and they still want to hold a Luming Banquet. This is not immature, what is it?

Pointing the country, long and full, all nonsense.

It's far worse than He Zhang's two words: twice, it makes people break out in cold sweat.

At this time, Yu Qian did not participate in the conquest of the army led by Shi Heng at all.

Yu Qian was more concerned with checking the storage of grain, grass, gunpowder and other items.

The food, grass and gunpowder are all guarded by the sergeants of the old battalion. Even so, Yu Qian still checks them every day.

Yu Qian is investigating the issue of the Civil Credit Bureau that His Majesty is concerned about.

The existence of the Civil Information Bureau has greatly promoted the business development of Ming Dynasty. This positive significance is worthy of recognition.

For example, Datong Prefecture also has silk from Zhejiang and other places, as well as tea from Fujian and wooden furniture from Guangzhou and other places.

These things come from all directions, even in Xuanfu, it is not uncommon. In the past, Yu Qian could still see litchi in Xuanfu.

Last year, due to the military disaster, the trade routes were cut off and resumed, and litchis were no longer seen, but some common fruits were not uncommon.

Yu Qian asked for an order to thoroughly investigate the case of Daming's fake Yanyin, and there are already some clues.

Most of these fake salt quotations come from a place called Qi County, and this group of merchants is known as the Qi Gang.

They started by selling coarse cloth, jujube, Luma, Mohe, and Yingsuhua, and the most important goods were the last three.

Luma came from the Western Regions, and these Luma were sent to the south in exchange for tea, porcelain, salt, iron, silk, etc. from the south, and sold to Hetao to the Western Regions.

What is Luma?
In the Western Regions, it is called epilepsy, which means that after the sheep eat it, they will giggle and become incontinent.

Yu Qian holds two kinds of hemp in his hand, one is the hemp that is very common in Daming, which is the hemp used in ordinary hemp ropes and sacks. It is slender and tall, with long loose branches and hollow internodes.

The other kind is Luma sold by Qi Gang. It has a lot of fat, many branches and short tools, solid internodes, and if you eat a lot of hemp seeds, people will see ghosts and go crazy, and if you take it for a long time, you will go crazy.

Yu Qian's subconscious reaction to this thing was to stay away.

Zi does not speak strange powers and confusion, if you eat this thing, you can see ghosts, so is it okay?
But taking hemp seed can actually be euphoric. Many people become sexual after taking hemp seed for a long time. This is a terrible disease.

What is Mo He?

Also known as yellow flower smoke, after being lit, the smell will make you feel ecstatic.

This thing is a new novelty created by the Qi Gang recently. In Yu Qian's opinion, it's too choking. People can't avoid the fireworks, so they are choked by the smoke?
But these businessmen of the Qi Gang, the merchants who do these transactions, all said that this thing sold very well.

The last one is Yingsuhua, which Yu Qian knew, and it was already a tribute from the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty.

In the second year of Qianfeng, Diyejia, the tribute god of Fulin Kingdom, was made by pressing Yingsuhua.

In Yu Qian's view, the warbler and millet flowers are bright red, clustered with thousands of leaves, and the flowers are very large and dense, rich and colorful, and they are ornamental plants.

This thing is also a hot item that Qi Gang sells.

Luma, Moheyan, and Yingsuhua synthesize the three treasures of blessing and prosperity. If you enjoy them, your blessings will continue.

Yu Qian doesn't think that these things can be enjoyed continuously.

These three items, according to merchants, are very popular in the south, and they must be enjoyed by powerful families, and the quantity is not very large.

Yu Qian sighed, the word "business" is indeed separated like a mountain.

In any case, he couldn't imagine what kind of mechanism these three things are, which can cause a fire in the Jiangnan area, and a flower and a leaf are hard to find.

Yu Qian does not understand business, but he understands politics.

How did Daming's precious banknotes become a pile of waste paper? Even the head of the treasure banknote bureau has been vacant for more than ten years. Now His Majesty has to abolish the banknotes?

Is it because Daming Banknotes are only issued but not accepted?

of course not.

In the ninth year of Hongwu, Emperor Gao issued an edict: "When the officials of the household department strictly prohibit tax collection, they must choose the likes and dislikes of banknotes, so that the authenticity of the banknotes must be verified, that is, the passage is unimpeded."

There are a total of 25 kinds of banknotes of the Ming Dynasty, and there are [-] kinds of bad banknotes. Banknote burning warehouses are set up in each province, and the bad banknotes are burned once every quarter.

In the 13th year of Hongwu, the method of reversing banknotes was established again: "Although the banknotes are broken and soft, the Guanbo is clear, and it is not for picking and filling out. Private trade and government courses are accepted and used. If the Guanbo is faint, it is allowed to be put into the warehouse. Easy to change."

Daming banknotes can be used to pay taxes, or to exchange old banknotes for new ones.

However, since the 23rd year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that the system of exchanging banknotes could not be implemented.

In the 23rd year of Hongwu, a new banknote was issued, and the people were allowed to change it, and it was suspended after five months.

Because Daming had too many precious banknotes, the Ministry of Household Affairs approved a total of 150 million ingots of Daming banknotes.

The results of it?
In the 23rd year of Hongwu, there were more than 500 million ingots of precious banknotes that needed to be replaced.

In half a year, more than 300 Wanbao banknotes were exchanged!
Where did these extra banknotes come from?

But at that time, Emperor Gao had always planned to move the capital. He sent Zhu Biao to Shaanxi to inspect Shaanxi and decide whether to move the capital to Xi'an.

When Zhu Biao returned from his inspection tour in Shaanxi, he began to fall ill and eventually died of illness.

After that, Emperor Gao no longer had time to take care of the treasure banknotes.

In Yu Qian's hand, there is a stack of Daming Salt Citations that are false and genuine.

Apparently, a group of people set their sights on Yanyin again after ruining the Daming Treasure Banknote.

Yu Qian held a salt ticket in his hand and wrote: "Official Salt Ticket", which stated where it was issued, how much food was received, how many catties of Huai salt, time and so on.

This is a small salt quotation, which is equal to two hundred catties of Huai salt, equal to one stone of Datong rice, and equal to one tael of silver.

Yu Qian had already shown it to the old officials of Jing Nian. There was no way to distinguish the real from the fake. Only by carefully identifying the fake in the sun could he be sure that the salt was fake.

It is indeed a fake, because Yu Qian exchanged half a stone of grain for fake salt in the market.

The Civil Credit Bureau is of great positive significance.

But what is the crime of privately printing imperial court salt quotes?
capital offense.

Yu Qian put away the salt note, and the items he collected were all evidence to be sent to the capital.

In the past, who printed the Daming Treasure banknotes privately, and who distributed the Daming Treasure banknotes everywhere?Yu Qian didn't know, and couldn't find out.

However, now someone wants to use the same method to destroy Daming's Yanyin, this is unmistakable.

Yu Shiyue hit hard in Jiangnan, constantly attacking private salt nest owners for private distribution of salt quotations, but in Shanxi, there are a group of people who are also private distribution of salt quotations, and they are even more rampant than the nest owners in Jiangnan.

"Yu Shaobao, there is a commotion!" Yue Qian rushed in, out of breath, and said: "There are people outside the gate, gathered in front of the Dusi gate, shouting loudly, begging the court to stop using troops."

"Oh?" Yu Qian stood up and said, "Interesting, let's go and have a look."

The people of Ming opposed the Ming army marching into Jining and restoring the old military settlements in the Hongwu and Yongle years?
The people of Ming Dynasty opposed this?Yu Qian didn't believe it.

But this weird thing just happened.

When Yu Qian came outside the Dusi yamen, he saw a group of excited people shouting and shouting, and when he saw Yu Qian going out, the noise intensified a bit, and there were some people pushing and shoving in the crowd.

In order to protect Yu Qian's safety, Zhu Qiyu specially selected [-] captains from the Beijing camp to accompany him as guards.

When the crowd pushed and shoved, the captain's sword immediately came out of its sheath, forming a fish-scale formation. The firecrackers, hooked guns, and long and short knives were aimed at these so-called common people.

Yu Qian sneered and said, "Small tricks."

Yu Qian couldn't help but think of the person who attacked him when he was promoting the farm law in Daxing. This moment is just like that moment.

The shining blade was still scary, but the scene immediately quieted down.

Yu Qian looked back and forth with a smile and said: "Come on, tell me, who gave you the money to let you come? How much is it, just to make trouble at the Dusi Yamen?"

The man obviously didn't know Yu Qian, but he knew Bu Zi.

They thought it was just booing, but they didn't expect that a senior member with the patch on his chest was a crane, and came out.

The man said dully, "Forty Wen... over there."

Yu Qian exhaled, waved his hands and said, "Commander Yue, surround the crowd and find the instigator. If he is not here, he will not be able to get out of Wanquandusi. Find him and send him to the capital."

Who wouldn't want to see the Ming Army winning every victory?

Who wouldn't want to see Daming strengthen its control over the Hetao area?
Who wouldn't want to see Daming restore the military settlements of the Hongwu and Yongle years?
Of course the Oirats, the Oirats certainly don't want this to happen!

But can the Wala people organize the people of Daming to gather in front of Wanquan Dusi's gate to make trouble?Obviously impossible.

Who is that?
