The days when I ransacked the house in Jinyiwei

Chapter 151 Consecutive Promotion to Five Levels ([-]-character Chapter)
Huang Zhixian kept kowtowing: "This humble minister is guilty."

Chang Feng couldn't stop persuading Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty calm down and take care of the dragon's body."

Emperor Hongzhi sat on the dragon chair and forced himself to calm down.

After a stick of incense, he told Chang Feng: "Pick up the exhausted copper for me."

Chang Feng picked up the copper money, got up and came to the dragon case, and put the copper money in place.

Poor Tongjin was a blood crime in the hands of Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Huang Boren, you are so courageous. How dare you disobey the order and use [-] pebbles to fool the inspectors."

"For the livelihood of the people in your county, you don't hesitate to risk your head, is it worth it?"

Huangzhi County kowtowed: "My Majesty, I have read "Mencius" for decades. There is a sentence in it, which I regard as my motto."

Emperor Hongzhi became interested: "Oh? What sentence?"

Huang Zhixian replied: "Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!"

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi slapped the dragon case with a "pop!".

Huang Zhixian shrank his neck in fright.Like a naive fat bastard.

Chang Feng really wanted to remind Emperor Hongzhi: Your Majesty, Huang Boren was bitten by a dog when he was a child, so he was timid.Don't scare him to death in the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Hongzhi's shooting of the dragon case was not to express his anger, but to show his praise!

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Although there are thousands of people, I will go. Well said! Officials all over the world are promoted by reading the Four Books and Five Classics. But most of them have read the books into the stomach of dogs."

"You are different. As a parent of a county, people's livelihood is the first priority. For the sake of people's livelihood, they will not hesitate to resist the order."

"I need 130 people like you to be county magistrates!"

The county magistrate Huang breathed a sigh of relief: "The emperor's praise!"

Chang Feng added the icing on the cake to Huangzhi County at the right time: "I report to the emperor. Others are officials, and the property under their name is getting more and more."

"Huang Boren is an official, but the property under his name is getting less and less."

Emperor Hongzhi asked, "Oh? Why?"

Chang Feng said: "The minister has made a clear investigation. Huang Boren has a thousand acres of ancestral land under his name. He served as an official twice, and he sold off five hundred acres one after another, and exchanged them for money and grain to help the poor people in Rongcheng County."

Hongzhi Emperor Longyan Dayue: "Huang Qing, I must reuse such a good and upright official as you! In my opinion, I will promote you to the magistrate first!"

Huang Zhixian was dumbfounded!
A magistrate usually manages more than a dozen counties, and his job is four grades.

Zhixian is only the seventh rank.

Emperor Hongzhi is equivalent to giving him five consecutive upgrades!
Chang Feng reminded: "Magistrate Huang, oh no, magistrate Huang, why don't you quickly receive an order to thank you?"

Huang Boren kowtowed: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "Oh, I should thank you. You let me know that there are rare good people like you in the magistrates. It's not that everyone is greedy."

"That's all. You go down first!"

This is really a blessing and a curse.Eighteen days ago, Huang Boren almost frightened Chang Feng to death.

Eighteen days later, he was summoned by the emperor, and he was promoted five levels in a row.

Huang Boren stood up with excitement, folded his hands and bowed his head, and stepped back outside the hall in small steps.

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Chang Feng, what you just said is right. Killing people can't solve the problem. In the final analysis, the law does not blame the public."

Emperor Hongzhi was actually very tangled.What he faced was a problem that the emperors of all dynasties have had a headache.That is the game between China and local governments.

Chang Feng echoed: "Your Majesty has learned a lesson. All the court can do is to give local officials as few opportunities as possible to exploit the people."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "But I don't want to bear this bad breath. Just now you reported that there is a Runde grain company in Tongzhou who is so powerful that he can eat the stolen food of corrupt officials all over the world?"

"Check it out! I want to find out who the boss is and punish him severely!"

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Yes, Your Majesty."

Chang Feng left the palace.I thought to myself: It is said that Xiaojiu is the number one dealer in selling stolen goods in Beijing.Compared with Runde Food Co., she is not even a small ant.

I'm afraid Runde Liangxing's twisted hair is thicker than hers.

He returned to Beizhen Fusi.Fatty Xu and others are already waiting in the room.

Qian Ning had an expectant expression on his face: "What does the emperor say? Do you want our Jin Yiwei to catch all the magistrates in the world?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly: "No. The magistrate will not pursue it. The emperor only asked us to check the Runde grain business."

Fatty Xu said: "Then shall we set off for Tongzhou?"

Chang Feng said, "Don't go to Tongzhou, go to Yihonglou."

Fatty Xu's eyes lit up: "Let me just say, go out for more than two months, Master Chang, you must be overwhelmed!"

Chang Feng said, "What are you thinking? I'm looking for your Hong'er!"

Fatty Xu curled his lips: "Don't tell me you really want to be a boot brother with me? That's right, a friend's wife can't be bullied, and a friend's concubine can ride! Besides, my Hong'er is not even a concubine."

Chang Feng didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm looking for her for a serious business! Didn't you tell me a while ago that she is doing grain and rice business with Tongzhou Runde Grain Company?"

Everyone came to Yihong Building.

Do as the Romans do when you enter the countryside, it is still the old custom to change into your boots first when you enter the door.

A voluptuous woman walked up to Chang Feng: "Oh, Master Chang."

Fatty Xu stared like copper bells: "Master Chang, do you know Xiaoyun?"

Chang Feng perfunctory: "There are many people in the capital who know me."

In fact, Chang Feng knows more than her.

Liu Xiaoyan and Nine Girls' red affairs came on about the same date.

Just in those few days, Feng came here to discuss with Sai Tanghong about setting up eyes and ears in Yihong Building.

A place like Yihonglou is a place where fish and dragons are mixed together, and it is perfect for collecting intelligence in Beijing.

Before leaving, Chang Feng didn't pay attention when he went out and bumped into Xiao Yun.For a moment, the blood flowed down, and he couldn't hold it back.He went to her bedroom and beat her hard to vent her anger.

After everyone changed their boots, Chang Feng found Sai Tanghong.

Chang Feng cupped his hands: "Master Sai."

Sai Tanghong was surprised: "Am I involved in the Qin case again?"

Chang Feng explained: "Sect Leader Sai misunderstood. I'm here to ask you to do something serious."

Sai Tanghong was taken aback: "Four people at a time? This is too serious, I can't handle it!"

Qian Ning laughed out loud: "I said, Miss Sai, where are you going? Our Master Chang has something important to discuss with you."

Chang Feng sat down on the chair: "Master Sai, I heard that you are in the grain and rice business recently, and the dividends are quite good. How did you do it?"

Sai Tanghong said: "Hey, this matter. It's simple, the water flows to the lower places, and the goods flow to the higher places."

"We have a brother from Miaoshou Sect. He went to Liaodong a few years ago. After more than ten years, he has made a name for himself. He became the head of officials in the Si Yamen of the capital of Liaodong."

"The place in Liaodong is a place of bitter cold. There is a shortage of food and the price of food is high. The price of food in Beizhili is low, and it has been terribly low in the past two months. I bought grain from Tongzhou and shipped it to Liaodong to give to my brother. price difference."

Chang Feng asked, "Did you buy grain from the Runde Grain Store in Tongzhou?"

Sai Tanghong nodded: "Yes."

Chang Feng said: "So you are very familiar with Runde Grain Company? Could you introduce me?"

Sai Tanghong asked: "Master Chang is also interested in the grain and rice business?"

Chang Feng clung to Sai Tanghong's ear and muttered for a while.

Sai Tanghong said: "Success. You have opened your mouth. I will definitely help you."

Chang Feng said: "Then let's go to Tongzhou now?"

Suddenly, Chang Feng noticed that Fatty Xu was gone.

Chang Feng asked Qian Ning: "Where is Master Xu? Why did he disappear in the blink of an eye?"

Qian Ning didn't hold back her laughter: "Master Xu seems to be looking for that Xiaoyun."

Chang Feng said angrily: "Damn it, he really wants to be my brother!"

They rode out of Beijing and rushed to Tongzhou.

Tongzhou is the terminus of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal.All provinces' grain is unloaded here.

This is the largest grain transportation inner port and grain trade center in Ming Dynasty.

There are two official warehouses in the Daming household department.One is Jingcang, and the other is Tongzhou Cang.Jingcang is the inner warehouse of the emperor, and Tongzhou warehouse is the outer warehouse of the emperor.

Sai Tanghong led Chang Feng and others to the gate of Runde Grain Company.

This food store is a big house with four entrances.

The gatekeeper stopped everyone.

The concierge asked, "Master Sai, do you want to go in and discuss business?"

Sai Tanghong took out a piece of broken silver from her sleeve, and gave it to the porter: "Yes, please accommodate me. I'll go back to Yihonglou to play next time, and I'll find someone with good skills to accompany you."

The concierge weighed the money: "It's the rules of our grain store. The shopkeeper can enter, but the servants can't."

Chang Feng was dressed in satin and looked like a shopkeeper.Fatty Xu and the others were dressed in civilian clothes, pretending to be his followers.

Sai Tanghong pointed to Chang Feng: "Success. This shopkeeper Lu is my friend. Let me help you introduce someone from your food business. He followed me in. These servants stayed in front of the door and waited."

The concierge nodded: "Go in."

Chang Feng and Sai Tanghong entered the Runde Grain Store.There are people coming and going inside, and you can tell that the business is booming at a glance.

Chang Feng lowered his voice: "A concierge of a grain store is almost as good as the gatekeeper of the yamen. To enter a grain store, you have to stuff the door."

Sai Tanghong said: "I don't know how many grain merchants are pointing to the cash cow of Runde Grain Bank to get rich. Naturally, their concierge has a market."

Chang Feng asked: "Why did you make up a 'Lu' surname for me, not Zhao Qiansun Li?"

Sai Tanghong covered her mouth and smiled lightly: "Xiaoyun told me that your place is as big as a donkey."

Chang Feng was taken aback: "She can say everything."

Sai Tanghong said: "A group of horse fleas gather together, and they can say anything."

Sai Tanghong led Chang Feng to find her contact person in the grain store.

This person is a Mr. Standing Cabinet, surnamed Su, in his forties.The eyes are small but very energetic.You can tell at a glance that he is a veteran in the business world.

Sai Tanghong introduced: "Mr. Su, this is shopkeeper Lu from the south."

Mr. Su said: "Ah, I have admired you for a long time."

Chang Feng put on a southern accent: "Ala is Jiangnan Bank. I came to Guiliang because I have a big deal to discuss."

Mr. Su smiled slyly: "Listen to the accent, you are from Songjiang Prefecture, right?"

Chang Feng deliberately concealed: "Ah, don't be, don't be."

People in Songjiang always say "no" with the sound of "don't".Chang Feng deliberately sat on Mr. Su's guess.

Mr. Su asked, "Tell me, are you here to buy grain or sell grain?"

Chang Feng said: "Of course Allah sells grain. What we sell is the best rice from the south of the Yangtze River. The rice from our south of the Yangtze River is soft and glutinous, and when it is steamed, it is fragrant and sweet, don't you know that?"

When Mr. Su saw Chang Feng for the first time, he was naturally on guard.

Mr. Su asked with a smile: "The good rice from Jiangnan is transported to Tongzhou, and the shipping cost is too high. Why don't you sell the rice to Shandong? Shandong is closer to Jiangnan, and the shipping cost can be saved."

Chang Feng played tricks, covered his mouth with a fan, and said in a low voice, "Ala's rice is transported to Tongzhou by official ship, and there is no shipping fee."

Mr. Su had an expression that instantly understood: "Understood. You are not the shopkeeper. You should be a staff member of a magistrate in Jiangnan, right?"

"Otherwise, how can we use the water to transport the official ships of the Yamen for nothing?"

Chang Feng waved his hands again and again: "Don't be, don't be."

Mr. Su said with a smile: "Master Lu, you don't have to shy away from it. Our Runde Grain Store always receives more than a dozen people a day for officials like you. Tell me, how much rice do you have?"

Chang Feng stretched out five fingers.

Mr. Su asked: "Five thousand stones?"

Chang Feng shook his head slightly.

Mr. Su is obviously someone who has seen the big world: "Fifty thousand stone?"

Chang Feng nodded: "Nong is right! Fifty thousand shi, can you eat it?"

Mr. Su smiled slightly: "Don't talk about 50 shi, even [-] shi can still be eaten!"

Chang Feng said: "Don't be bragging." (Don't brag)

Mr. Su frowned: "Shopkeeper Sai, haven't you mentioned the financial resources of our Runde Grain Company to this man?"

Chang Feng said: "Even if you can afford the money, where do you keep the 50 stone grains?"

Mr. Su touched the ground with his finger: "This is in Tongzhou! The outer warehouse of the imperial court is located!"

Chang Feng was surprised: It seems that the grain of Runde Grain should be stored in the Tongzhou Warehouse under the jurisdiction of the User Department!
This is not surprising.At the beginning of the search of Wantong's mansion, Chang Feng found out that the grain, pepper, and sumac obtained by Wantong's greed for ink were all stored in the granary of the household department.

It is not a secret in the official circles of the capital to borrow official warehouses to store personal belongings.

Chang Feng said: "It's wonderful, it's wonderful. The expensive food business is really a heifer's menstruation—the blood is awesome! Since we can eat it, let's discuss the price, shall we?"

Mr. Su said: "We don't negotiate prices here. They are all fixed prices. The best quality rice in the south of the Yangtze River is priced at four renminbi a stone today."

Chang Feng's face changed: "Don't be good, don't be good. Allah has heard about it. The market price of good rice in Beizhili is five yuan and one stone."

Mr. Su patiently explained: "That's the price for ordinary people. Can ordinary people eat [-] shi of rice at a time?"

"With all due respect, the lord behind you, as well as a group of subordinates under his command, are eagerly waiting to turn the rice into silver and share it."

"The whole capital, no, the whole of Beizhili, no, the whole of Daming. Only our Runde Grain Shop can eat so much rice at one time!"

Chang Feng pretended to be extremely entangled, and after thinking hard for a while, he said: "Okay. Allah will be the master for Dong Weng once. Four qian is four qian."

Mr. Su and Chang Feng swear by high-fiving: "Deal!"

Chang Feng said: "The official ship with rice will arrive in six days, and the money and goods will be cleared by then. Allah wants to invite Mr. Su to go whoring in Yihong Building tonight. The shopkeeper Sai's place is wonderful!"

Mr. Su evaded: "I have other entertainments tonight."

Chang Feng was a little anxious: "Don't hide the truth. Allah's Dong Weng is the magistrate of a well-known and wealthy mansion in the south of the Yangtze River. He has many colleagues, but he hasn't found a way to sell rice yet."

"Let's discuss and discuss together at night to make the business bigger. At that time, it will not be a business of 10,000 stones, but a business of [-]+ stones, don't you understand?"

Chang Feng intends to lure Mr. Su to the capital, where he will be directly arrested, sentenced, and interrogated.Then follow the vine to find out the boss behind the scenes.

Mr. Su thought for a while and said, "It will be done. Then you go first. I will go to Yihonglou at night."

Sai Tanghong smiled and said, "That's good. I'll have a few red-branded girls waiting for you tonight."

Chang Feng cupped his hands towards Mr. Su: "Farewell."

The two went out to Runde Grain Company.

Fatty Xu leaned over: "How about it, did the people inside get tricked?"

Chang Feng nodded slightly: "It's hooked. Let's go back to the city and wait for the fish to take the bait in Yihong Building."

Fatty Xu said: "Don't just wait! Waiting for someone is the hardest thing to bear. I have to wait."

Sai Tanghong poked Fatty Xu's temple with her finger: "Death."

Everyone returned to Yihong Building.Chang Feng deployed his powerful warriors to catch people, and it was still long before dark.He took the time to go back to the mansion.

Huang Boren still lives in his house.Fat he was packing his bags.

Chang Feng asked: "Brother Huang Shi, are you leaving so soon? Did the Ministry of Officials put up a sign for you?"

Huang Boren said: "Yes. In the afternoon, I went to the Ministry of Officials with the imperial decree. It happened that there was a vacancy in the magistrate of Laizhou Prefecture in Shandong. The Wang Department Hall of the Ministry of Officials put up a sign for me and issued an official certificate."

"I will leave Beijing early tomorrow morning to take up my post. Thank you Chang Qianhu for your care these days."

Chang Feng said: "It should be. Oh yes, I don't know if I should say a few words or not."

Huang Boren said: "Please enlighten me."

Chang Feng said: "Your younger brother Huang Zhongren was full of words about being promoted and making a fortune right after he won the exam. You must strictly restrain yourself. Otherwise, one day you may be in the hands of our Jin Yiwei."

Huang Boren had an embarrassed look on his face: "My younger brother is indeed useless. I will definitely reprimand him severely."

Chang Feng said with a smile: "We are also destined. I wish you, an upright official, every step of the way. One day you will be honored in the border."

Huang Boren cupped his hands and said, "Thank you."

After saying goodbye to Huang Boren, Chang Feng went to Liu Xiaoyan's room to see his son.

Zhuang Zhuang is taking a nap.

Liu Xiaoyan sniffed: "Why do you have such a big powdery smell?"

Chang Feng did not shy away: "Don't mention it. Today's errands have to be done in Yihonglou. I just went to Yihonglou to make some arrangements."

Liu Xiaoyan laughed and scolded: "God knows whether you went to Yihonglou for business or personal business."

Chang Feng directly pushed Liu Xiaoyan down on the couch: "I handed over the ordnance first, so you don't have to worry about my private affairs in Yihong Building?"

Liu Xiaoyan hurriedly pushed Chang Feng away, and pointed to Zhuang Zhuang who was sleeping on the small bed: "Wake up our son carefully. If you want to hand over the ordnance, go find younger sister Jiu."

At night, Yihonglou.

The guests entered the door in an endless stream, it was like a bustling crowd.

Now everyone on the ground in the capital knows that the backer of Yihonglou is the son of Duke Ding.Almost all the people who came to find fault and make trouble disappeared, and the business naturally flourished.

Chang Feng and others waited for Mr. Su at the door.From the time when the lanterns were held until the time of Haishi.

Fatty Xu complained: "I've been waiting for an hour and a half. That guy won't come anymore."

Chang Feng said: "Probably not. I told him that there are still a few prefectures to introduce to him. The bait is so big, I'm not afraid that he won't bite the bait."

Fatty Xu said: "According to what you said, the Runde Grain Company has strong financial resources, and it also uses the Tongzhou official warehouse. Let's make a bet, I guess the official standing behind the Liang Company is at least a third-rank official."

Chang Feng said: "Maybe who is the second-rank hall official?"

The imagination of these two people is not rich enough.
At this moment, Mr. Su arrived late riding a donkey.

Chang Feng and the others greeted him with smiles.

Mr. Su got off his donkey: "Master Lu."

Chang Feng smiled and put the iron chain around Mr. Su's neck: "Mr. Su, I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Mr. Su was dumbfounded: "What are you doing? Who are you?"

Qian Ning put a dagger on Mr. Su's waist: "Of course you'll know when you get there."
