Chapter 119 Make Quick Money

The inner guard, the full name should be called the imperial guard.

The guards of the imperial army are one of the formal establishments of the imperial army. However, in addition to the serious task of guarding the emperor, the guards also have a part of the guards who guard the emperor's bedroom in rotation. .

The number of inner guards on the surface is not large, about 2000 people, but as an armed force that is only loyal to the emperor, how many people are buried in the dark in the inner guards, I am afraid only the emperor himself can explain clearly.

To put it bluntly, the imperial court is a violent institution.

If you want to secure the throne and be the master of this violent organization, your subordinates must directly control the violent power. The inner guard is the armed force that is directly under the emperor and does not need to be explained to any officials in the court. It is the guarantee for the emperor to secure the throne... one.

In addition to guarding the palace, the inner guard also has the right to travel around for the emperor according to the emperor's order, and even has the right to handle cases independently to a certain extent.

This case-handling power can be completed within the inner guard without going through the three courts or any yamen of the imperial court.

However, this kind of independent judicial power is only aimed at civilians without official status. If the target is an official, the inner guard must communicate with the court's law enforcement agencies and cannot do anything wrong.

Because if the inner guards can dispose of officials at will, it will cause collective dissatisfaction among the scholar-bureaucrats in the court, and even cause chaos in the court.

Juren Dushen also belongs to the class of scholar-bureaucrats.

Although he doesn't have an official position, he has a reputation. The inner guards can't deal with him at will, but there is no problem in visiting him for questioning.

Ever since, Du Juren, who was unlucky, was sneaked by the inner guard to an inner guard duty room in Jiankang City in the early hours of the morning, and used various interrogation methods on Du Shen, wanting to ask Did the song "Qin Huai Speechless Talk about the Setting Sun" come from Du Juren?

But no matter how these inner guards asked, Du Shen would bite to death. He heard this poem by the Qinhuai River.

If this result is reported to the emperor, His Majesty will definitely be unhappy, so the inner guard can only continue to ask, who wrote the poem that day, where he lives, and what he looks like.

This is hard for Du Juren.

On the banks of the Qinhuai River that day, he heard Xu Fu read the last two lines of this poem, and he thought it was very satisfying, so he went up and asked for the first two lines. What name, he also does not know.

Fortunately, Du Juren had a good memory, so he gave the inner guard a rough description of Xu Fu's appearance.

Thirteen or fourteen years old, with a thin body, sallow skin, wearing a thick cotton coat...

………………

Du Juren was sent back to his home that afternoon, and was ordered not to tell what happened today.

At the same time, Xu Fu's appearance described by Du Shen was also sent to the little emperor's desk.

The eunuch Gao Ming stood beside the emperor with his hands down, lowered his head slightly and said, "Your Majesty, this Du Shen has talked about the Northern Expedition in private these past few years, so it can be seen that he has a staunch temper. Since he recited this poem at the Shangyuan Poetry Conference If it was written by him, then he has no reason to deny it."

"If he really wrote it, he will not only recognize it, but also be proud of it."

Looking at the description of Xu Fu on the table, the little emperor frowned slightly.

"The internal guards are getting less and less concerned about their affairs. I asked you to investigate, then check it out. After checking it out, it was not written by Du Shen. Then go to this poet who wrote it. Since it is in Jiankang City, Then there is no reason not to find it.”

Eunuch Gao cautiously looked at the emperor, and asked, "Your Majesty, after finding this person, do you want to punish him?"

"Do not."

The little emperor shook his head slowly, and he said in a low voice: "After finding him, I will give him a reward, and I will tell the whole Jiankang, and even the whole world, that I have not forgotten that Chen Yuyan is no longer there, and I will not indulge in the Qinhuai night. Go sing and circle the boat!"

Speaking of this, the Emperor Hongde, who had been on the throne for six years, slowly clenched his fists.

He didn't continue talking, but he made up his mind secretly.

He wants to look north, he wants ZTE!
After all, he is only 16 years old this year.

In every young man's heart, it is inevitable that he will have lofty aspirations, great ideals, and great ambitions.

It's just that in the face of reality, it is unknown how long these ideals and ambitions can last for a few years.

…………

Shen Yi, who lives in Prince Jin's Mansion, naturally doesn't know about the Deqing Palace in the imperial palace.

Of course, if he knew, he would probably lament the wonders of the world.

An incomplete poem he accidentally copied turned out to be the turning point of Hongde's new dynasty.

Now Shen Yi lives comfortably in Prince Jin's Mansion.

When I first arrived at Prince Jin's Mansion, because I lived in the guest room of Prince Jin's Mansion secretly, although I lived in a comfortable place, I felt a little nervous, for fear that I would be caught by the people of Prince Jin's Mansion one day. It will be somewhat embarrassing.

But after meeting Gu Changshi, this worry was dispelled.

Gu Changshi is already the highest-ranking court official in the Prince Jin's Mansion. Although his rank is vastly different from the King Jin's, he has worked in the Prince Jin's Mansion for more than ten years. It's not a big deal to stay in a room for a few days.

Because the Xuezheng Yamen has not issued a specific exam time, Shen Yi can only prepare for the exam while living in the Prince Jin Mansion. Now he is much more casual than before. When he is not studying, he will talk to his father. After Shen Zhang said hello, he would go to the city to hang out with Xu Fu in Jiankang City, which was nicknamed "investigating the market".

After five or six days of "investigation", Shen Yi had a clearer understanding of Jiankang City.

In today's world, the southern and northern dynasties are opposed. The imperial city Yan in the north is the old capital of Dachen. Naturally, there is no need to say more. However, Jiankang, the capital of the southern dynasties, after 60 years of development, is now a big city with a population of over one million. .

In Jiankang City, in addition to the "consumer center" of the Qinhuai River, there are also big markets such as Dongxi Street Market. It stands to reason that as long as you have an idea, it is not difficult to make money here.

After staying in Jiankang with Xu Fu for a few days, Shen Yi spent money to rent a small yard two or three miles away from the Qinhuai River.

Compared with Jiangdu's annual rent of seven taels, Jiankang's rent is much more expensive. A yard that is not much bigger than Jiangdu's yard costs 25 taels of silver a year.

However, Jiankang already has a relatively professional "intermediary agency" called Yaxing. Among the 25 taels of silver, at least [-]% was taken by Yaxing.

But no matter what, Shen Yi and Xu Fu at least have a "base" in Jiankang, and they don't need to depend on others.

On the third day after renting the house, the third child under Xu Fu also came to Jiankang with a bodyguard company in Jiangdu.

When the third child arrived in Jiankang, Shen Yi began to teach the two to sell some new food.

The reason for continuing to sell food in Jiankang is because Shen Yi is still too short of money.

Previously in Jiangdu, a few little fellows sold pancakes for a few months, together with other incomes. Added up, it was only one or two hundred taels of silver. This money was enough for Xu Fu and others, but for For Shen Yi, there was nothing he could do at all.

So, he planned to make another sum of money in Jiankang.

This time, Shen Yi was not going to earn hard money, but to earn quick money once.

After training two people in the rented hut for a few days, bought the necessary raw materials, and cooked the first pot of soup, Shen Yi called Xu Fu.

"Go to the dental shop and find some free people. We need to use it for the opening tomorrow."

Shen Qilang's face was calm: "There will be about twenty or thirty people, and each person will be given fifty Wen a day."
