Lu Ming

Chapter 155

The legendary place of Pingfeng Village, the starting point of all stories, has now disappeared in a sense.

After Zhou Tong decided to go down the mountain to rebel, he began to liquidate his assets.Including the villagers of Hengtang Village at the foot of the mountain, all the old and weak were sent away one after another.These people were first diverted to Tangzhuang and Moyun Temple, and finally most of them were sent to the senior officials for resettlement.

After the old and the weak were sent away, the last group of young adults who stayed behind followed the instructions and gave the Pingfeng Village and Hengtang Village to the local squire Hu; at this time, Zhou Tong had already taken the top spot in the Hangzhou Beggar Gang.

After Hu Xiangshen heard the news, he didn't renege on his debt - he knew that his mountain products would be sold on Zhou Tong's site in the future.

This liquidation method of killing chickens and taking eggs has effectively changed the predicament of the short-staffed forces in the early days.The manpower of Pingfeng Mountain is either in the town of Beggars, or in the town of Moyunguan, or in the town of Dayuan. In short, the brothers are very strong.

After Huang Zhicheng was elected, he urgently needed someone of his own. Zhao Wutian was selected under such circumstances to serve as Master Huang's liaison officer.

Zhao Wutian, who had a steady personality and acted appropriately, changed his name to Zhao Liu after a few days of emergency training in Tangzhuang, and went to the Yellow House to take a job as a casual manager, responsible for internal and external connections.

So when Mr. Huang asked to hand over the people who came to beat the autumn wind to Mr. Zhao, Mr. Wu agreed without batting an eyelid.He knew that this seemingly insensitive Manager Zhao was actually a confidant of the master. The Taizhou mud leg who came to beg for shelter in the past few waves, after being handed over to this Manager Zhao, there was no news of this guy working outside on weekdays. What a job it was.

After Mr. Huang gave orders to beat the autumn wind, he asked again: "How is the repair of that shop going?"

"Oh, [-]% of the work has been completed, and it should be ready in a few days."

"Well, then send someone to Du Xing's capital tomorrow to post a post and make an appointment."

"Understood, sir."

"What else is there today?"

"Cough, Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Yan came running again, arguing to see the master and not leaving, and they were sent away after paying two handfuls of money."

"Oh" Master Huang rolled his eyes when he heard this,

The wives came to make matchmaking.

Mr. Huang's original partner died early, and now he is a Juren, and his family business has swelled like a pig's urine bubble. In one night, Mr. Huang became a favorite.

Getting promoted, getting rich and killing your wife is the highest level of dreams.This is regardless of dynasties, even in later generations, Master Huang is now the living version of "Dream of the Ming Dynasty", a model of men in the Ming Dynasty.

So since the master won the election, matchmakers flocked to him.

However, Mr. Huang doesn't want to continue, without it, there are too many girls.

If it were any of the time-traveling crowds, they probably wouldn't want to continue.Think about it, every night there are tender girls who are sixteen or seventeen to sleep with you, and they can be exchanged, and they will not be jealous, and they will not reject various positions. It is okay if there are more people, and they all want to give birth to monkeys for you.
Mr. Huang, who traveled through future generations, truly feels that life is ten thousand times better than before time-traveling. He doesn't want to find some old woman to run the back house. Isn't it good to be so dissolute now?
However, reality does not allow it.

A new imperial examination candidate does not continue his strings. He can do it at the beginning, but after a long time, he will be classified as "heterogeneous" by the scholar-bureaucrat class.This is inconsistent with Huang Zhicheng's personality. He needs to use the appearance of an elite scholar-bureaucrat to integrate into the Jiangnan gentry circle. People who don't even have a wife at home will attract unnecessary discussions and negative comments.

The officials will not agree either.

In the previous discussion about the continuation, the secret letter from the big office has already given several opinions.

Article [-]: The wife must marry.

Article [-]: It is not recommended to deal with high-ranking officials and officials, and they may not necessarily look up to a Juren.Even if she gets married, there is a high probability that she will be a concubine, and there are not many benefits. If the master Wang lands in the future, if these reactionaries resist stubbornly, they will sit down.

Article [-]: It is best not to marry someone with small feet.At present, the political trend of the big officials is that all parties are unanimous in resolutely banning the little feet. A friendly reminder: You are already very enviable, don't make trouble for yourself.

Well, with these few rules in place, the choice of Mr. Huang's future wife is already very small.It must be the daughter of a small and medium-sized official's family, and it can't be a little foot. This is a bit difficult, but the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds, so you can always find it.

"It seems that we have to make a decision." Mr. Huang, who has been subconsciously not active in this matter, finally realized today that he can't go on - a creature like a matchmaker won't stop until it achieves its goal. It has been half a year. , If you continue to quarrel, it will not affect the effect.

"Let them make preparations tomorrow, and I'll see you when I come back from drinking tea." Once Huang Zhicheng thought it through clearly, he didn't procrastinate.

"Yes." Butler Wu answered with a bow.At this moment, the fat on his face couldn't help twitching slightly: he knew that from this moment on, the countdown to the hostess' entry into the house had already entered.

After dismissing the butler, Mr. Huang sat in a chair and thought for a while, and then began to have dinner served by the maid.After the meal, Mr. Huang insisted on reading for a while—the Four Books and Five Classics were the homework he had to make up for, and the knowledge of ancient prose before crossing must not be enough, so he has been studying for the past six months, otherwise, someday the ancients will throw out some memes, If you can't catch it, you'll be ashamed.

Shaking his head and shaking his head, it means that Mr. Huang's spirit of living and learning from time to time immediately moved the girl who came to make her red sleeves more fragrant.

Mr. Huang is as good as good, so he lit the cold incense and warm incense and the two maidservants to accompany him, blowing the lamp to nourish his vitality.
After one night, a new day for the scholar-bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty began.

Master Huang got up early and had a meal. He studied classics and history for a while. Seeing that it was the end of the morning, he got up and changed his clothes.The master didn't get up in the sedan chair today, but instead walked in the car, walked out of the house leisurely, and headed eastward all the way.

Go out of Guliu Lane and you will find Shiban Street. After you go out of the intersection, you will find a bustling vegetable market.The scale of this vegetable market is small, and its main function is to deliver high-end vegetables to the nearby rich families, so it usually does not hold some popular beheading shows.

The group of people walked not far, and when they reached an alley not far from Caishikou, they turned in. There was a teahouse called "Xigaotang" in the alley, and this was where Master Huang used to drink tea.

The teahouse "Xigaotang" was opened at the same time as Huang's Mansion.Originally, this place was a herbal medicine shop called He Tai Tang. Since the shop is not facing the street, although it is not far from the vegetable market, the business has always been mediocre;

After Mr. Huang entered the door, the shopkeeper of the teahouse greeted him with a smile.In fact, this shopkeeper and Chairman Cao are old acquaintances: this person's surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Wenwen. He was originally a wandering Taoist priest, and later he joined Pingfengzhai.

Now that the Taoist priest has gone down the mountain to become the shopkeeper of the teahouse, Lu Tent has a good appearance.Seeing Mr. Huang enter the door, he politely greeted him to the second floor, and asked the waiter to serve tea and snacks to the companions sitting downstairs.

Master Huang and Shopkeeper Lu are old acquaintances now, they went up to the second floor, and came to the regular tea room where Master Huang usually drinks tea.This box is specially decorated, and the plywood walls made of different materials can ensure that the partition wall has no ears.

When Master Huang pushed open the door of the box, there was already a monk sitting inside, a monk in green robes.

The monk has big ears and a short and fat body, much like the monk in charge of cooking in Xiangji Kitchen.

After Mr. Huang entered the box, he sat down on the chair as if he didn't see the monk. At this moment, Lu Wenwen gently closed the door.

At this moment, while pouring tea for Mr. Huang, the monk took out a mobile phone from his pocket and handed it over.

"Look at the latest instructions first, we have already read them."

Huang Zhicheng took the phone casually, entered a string of public passwords, and then retrieved several documents from his exclusive folder.

When he saw that the recipient of the document was codenamed "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism", he couldn't help being a little excited - Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism is the code name for the three-person group in Hangzhou Station, and usually such a document appears, which means that the three of them are in need The big things that have been done together have to be done.

At this moment, after a few rhythmic knocks on the door of the private room, the owner of Tangzhuang, Sea Merchant Xiong Dao, also walked in slowly.

Confucianism is Huang Zhicheng himself.Shi, is the monk in front of him, the station master of Hangzhou station.Dao is the owner of Tangzhuang, brother Xiong Dao. The combination of "Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism" are the only three traversers of a certain force in Hangzhou. They shoulder the important mission of maintaining the operation of Hangzhou Station.

The monk's surname is Lu, and his name is Lu Cheng.Before time travel, this guy was engaged in underground work - selling pirated copies.Discs, self-made Zhonghua, self-brewed Moutai, Kang Shuaifu, and Piaorou.

During those years of burning passion, Comrade Lu Cheng accumulated rich experience in underground work and formed a strong fighting group in the process of fighting with various departments such as industry and commerce, taxation, quality inspection, sanitation, fire protection, culture, tobacco monopoly and anti-counterfeiting office. , In an extremely complex market environment where the enemy and the enemy are stubborn, Comrade Lu Cheng relied on his strong underground network to fight without death and death without rigidity, which has become a good story in the industry.

Of course, the glory has become a thing of the past, and now Comrade Lu Cheng has come to a new combat position.

Not counting Huang Zhicheng's exclusive customized version, both Lu Cheng and Xiong Dao were spy war emperors who stayed at the Hangzhou station by their own ability before they traveled through the large armies and sailed as senior officers.

When selecting personnel, in addition to his longing for spy work, Lu Cheng's rich experience in organizing underground networks and his short stature were also the key factors for him to become the head of the Hangzhou station - being able to operate a network in later generations. The short and fat man of the underground copycat sales network is absolutely capable of being the stationmaster of Hangzhou Station in the extremely slow-paced 17th century.

It is rare for the three of them to drink tea together in Xigaotang. Today they met because they had an important matter to discuss and couldn't explain clearly on the phone.
