The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

In Liu Shan's mansion, one is not a secret room, but a relatively hidden room.

"What's going on," Liu Shan said to a person who had been waiting in the room after entering the room.

"Eunuch, the officials from all over the south of the Yangtze River have already made up their minds," the man said to Liu Shan calmly, dressed as a servant.

"Make up your mind," Liu Shan said with some amusement, "they made up their minds for a fart, and now this Zhang Fan lives in Yangzhou City, and lives beside me, Liu Shan, and now you are pushing me to the forefront, What do you need to make up your mind, you go back and tell them, now my Liu Shan is on the edge of the cliff, if I am unlucky, I will be the first, but you have to pay attention to me, if I have any accident, None of you can escape,"

"My lord, look at what you said." After hearing Liu Shan's words, the man suddenly turned respectful towards Liu Shan, "We have an agreement a long time ago, and now we can be regarded as both prosperity and loss. This Zhang Fan really didn't think, after a strict investigation, we must stick together, and we will definitely not let the adults suffer alone, "

"You don't have to talk sweetly in front of me," Liu Shan didn't buy his account, but the other party's respectful expression did make him feel a lot better, "Nothing can change anything now, and everything can only be like this, I heard This time Zhang Fan came to Jiangnan to thoroughly investigate the taxation and has nothing to do with other things, the only thing is to switch the tax, "

"I heard the news from Jingli, it's true," the man said, "After years of operation in Jiangnan, the land tax, land tax, and salt and iron tax of each company are now seamless. My father-in-law hasn't seen that Hai Rui since last year. Since I took office as the governor of Yingtian, haven't I found out anything?"

"Now I'm just worried that the opening and closing time is not long. Since the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, boats are not allowed to be like a sea. Now that this is closed, many people are not used to it. It's just that the taxation of the customs department is really enviable. But there are still many problems with the silver, although there are no problems for the time being, but when the summer comes and the merchant ships return, problems will naturally arise," Liu Shan said.

"A few adults from all over the world are interested in letting go of this return-to-sea merchant ship, stopping for a while, and waiting until the news of this incident passes, and then sailing again in the coming year," the man said.

"Don't do it this year, but do it next year." Liu Shan stared at him with wide eyes, as if he had heard some big joke, "I ask you, where does the person who said these things live?"

"This..." The man didn't know what Liu Shan meant, but he still said in a straightforward manner, "Elder-in-law, there are not many people who say this, and most of them are from Ningguo Mansion and Huizhou Mansion,"

"Then let me ask you again, can this boat reach them?" Liu Shan asked again.

"This... can't be opened," the man said helplessly.

"Isn't this natural?" Liu Shan said as a matter of course, "They can't get the money, at most they rely on us grasshoppers tied to a rope to push each other to get some sealing money. dissatisfied,"

"My father-in-law said that," the man understood after hearing Liu Shan's words.

"It's been three years since His Majesty turned on and off, and the people here who can't see the money here are coming in like a tide," Liu Shan said helplessly, "Now I can't stop if I want to stop,"

After listening to Liu Shan's words, the man also felt Liu Shan's helplessness. He was silent for a while, and then said: "Your Excellency seems to be a little unfounded. Why do you think of the bad in everything? I think this Zhang Fan is young now. And this time he also got the emperor's imperial order to come to Jiangnan to check taxes. Maybe he can't see anything. Now this Zhang Fan must be proud of himself. The father-in-law only needs a little trick to confuse him. "

"Is it okay if you don't think about the bad," Liu Shan said, "you, and you have to go back and tell those people, don't take this Zhang Fan for granted. He has obtained such a status at a young age. Inseparable, but His Majesty is not an unreasonable and foolish emperor, Zhang Fan must have his ability to be able to take the position, and Zhang Fan came here to check taxes this time, I heard that His Majesty personally gave him orders, but I don’t know What did His Majesty tell him, and Zhang Fan is now in charge of Jinyiwei, do you know what that is, since the Emperor Taizu, this is the emperor's personal guard who made the officials most fearful in the Ming Dynasty, "

"This..." The man was at a loss when he heard Liu Shan's words.

"And..." Liu Shan continued, "This Jinyiwei claims to be all-pervasive. I don't believe that Zhang Fan doesn't know that I am the dashing person, and that he is related to Gao Shoufu. Zhang Fan is Zhang Juzheng's disciple. The disagreement is a foregone conclusion, and Zhang Fan has a good relationship with Feng Bao from Dongchang, and our father-in-law Meng has a disagreement with Feng Bao, I don't believe Zhang Fan doesn't want to deal with me, "

"What... what to do about this," the man couldn't help feeling a little flustered when he heard Liu Shan's analysis and thought of what was about to happen.

"You don't have to be so flustered," Liu Shan said, giving a sweet date with a stick, "I'm telling you all this now, but I'm just telling you the worst situation. The current situation may not be so bad."

"Eunuch, you scared the villain to death," the man said after taking a breath.

"However, there are still some things that have to be guarded against," Liu Shan said.

"That's that," the man hurriedly said, "But Eunuch, the villain heard that this Zhang Fan is now fascinated by a beautiful scenery in Eunuch's mansion."

"Haha," Liu Shan laughed loudly, "Who do you think I am? Over the years, I have never missed anyone. This Zhang Fan is young and energetic, and he can't resist such a temptation."

"It's just that the meaning of the villain looking at the eunuch is to hand over this beautiful girl to that Zhang Fan. It's a pity, it's a pity," the man said with some regret, "Please forgive me, the eunuch, the villain has no other meaning at all, just I think this Luo Linger has done a lot of things for your lord since he followed your lord, and many dignitaries from all over the south of the Yangtze River have bowed to Luo Linger's pomegranate skirt, which has saved your lord a lot of trouble."

"I'm afraid I have to give up this useful object this time," Liu Shan also said with some regret, "After all, no matter what happens this time, Zhang Fan may be in danger, and we can be regarded as going every step of the way. Don't take a wrong step, now you have to prepare everything, don't spoil the overall situation because of temporary intolerance, "

"My father-in-law said that my father-in-law is really farsighted. I don't want the villain to be short-sighted. He only sees the immediate benefits, but he doesn't see the future." His identity was greatly despised.

"You don't have to flatter me, I know you have been staring at her for a long time," Liu Shan said, "Forget it, father-in-law, I will show kindness today, and you will often smell her before she is sent, but you can You have to take it easy for me, don't break it, it will ruin my big event then, "

"Thank you, Eunuch, for the reward," the man heard, his eyes lit up immediately, full of desire.

Seeing the man running away anxiously, Liu Shan couldn't help but think in his heart: "Hmph, if you want to touch my Jiangnan, then I want to see if you, the newly promoted Zhongyong uncle, have the ability. "

====================================

The irritable summer finally came, and Zhang Fan really felt the heat this time. He had spent a long time in the south in his previous life, but in this life, he was born in the north, or his body has never been He has never felt this kind of heat before, it is different from the capital city, and even more different from Anhua County. Since coming here, Zhang Fan has now discovered that more than half of his memories are left in the ice and snow, but now Zhang Fan is a little I can't stand the heat anymore, and I still miss the north very much in my heart.

Yingyue was only slightly uncomfortable. After all, she was born in the southwest and had experienced hot weather, but it was not as dry and hot as here. This made Yingyue quite depressed, and she was always worried about her own health What marks will be left on the skin due to temperature and dryness.

In the hot summer, there is nothing more thirst-quenching than [-] sour plum soup, especially some big families in the south of the Yangtze River always have some ice cubes hidden in their homes. [-] iced sour plum soup is simply the best thing in this hot summer.

But now Zhang Fan looked at half a bowl of iced sour plum soup left on the table in front of him, and watched it getting hotter little by little, but he didn't feel the slightest pleasure of cooling down.

The reason is very simple. It's not because of the weather, but because of the city. He knows Zhu Yijun's temper best. The day before yesterday, Zhang Fan felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly sent someone back to Beijing to inquire, but it's not convenient to ask directly. Long Qing, after all, this is not an honorable thing. Long Qing can allow his son to mess around, but he may not let his courtiers expose his faults. Zhang Fan wrote a letter that night, and the letter was addressed to his teacher Zhang Juzheng. Under Zhang Fan's strong urging, Jin Yiwei exhausted all kinds of methods, wrote more than ten letters alone, and sent more than ten carrier pigeons to Beijing to deliver.

After Zhang Juzheng received the letter, he immediately entered the palace to investigate. Although Zhang Fan didn't say what was going on in his heart, he let him immediately enter the palace to meet the prince. Although Zhang Juzheng didn't know what happened, he believed Zhang Fan very much. However, when he came to the palace, he was told that the prince was ill and it was inconvenient to see him. Zhang Juzheng immediately understood what Zhang Juzheng was thinking, and he went to see Long Qing immediately. From Long Qing's tone, he already knew In general, since the emperor agreed, Zhang Juzheng had nothing to say, but for Zhang Fan, Zhang Juzheng also hurriedly wrote a reply letter.

Zhang Fan is worrying about this matter now. He doesn't blame Zhu Yijun for being naughty in his heart. After all, he is still a child, and Long Qing also agreed this time. He is just worried about what to do when Zhu Yijun is here. Mr. Zhang Fan It is impossible to reveal Zhu Yijun's identity as the prince, and then all parties come to pay homage. In this way, Zhang Fan will be in great trouble, but Zhu Yijun is the prince after all, Zhang Fan can't just leave him alone, and Zhu Yijun He has some hyperactivity problems, Zhang Fan will go to Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places next month, and if he insists on following...Thinking of all this, Zhang Fan is very upset.

However, Zhang Fan's troubles are even worse now.

"Wang Meng, are Liang Chao's men already on their way?" Zhang Fan called Wang Meng and asked.

"Returning to Your Excellency, Liang Chao has already led his troops all the way north to meet the prince," Wang Meng replied, "It's just that this time we didn't have many people going south with Your Excellency, and now we have to protect Your Excellency. The government dispatched manpower to go to meet the prince together, "

"Oh, that's good, you go down first," Zhang Fan said.

Wang Meng looked at Zhang Fan with some sympathy, and said, "Resign from your humble position," before turning around and walking out.

"My God, how could this happen," Zhang Fan wailed helplessly,
