I have a cornucopia

Chapter 145 Zuo Liangyu fights Yang Shaobao
Yang Shaobao committed no crime in the autumn of Huai'an.

This place is actually

They are all his business partners, so it is difficult to deal with them.

Besides, there’s no need to start.

Salt merchants are all sensible people. After knowing what Yang Shaobao wanted to do, the Huai'an salt merchant treated Duduo according to the same standards and collected 300,000 taels as a gift to him as quickly as possible...

deliver.

Borrow money?

Are you not slapping us in the face?
At this time of national crisis, it is time to have the money and strength to contribute. The soldiers on the front line are fighting bloody battles with the rebels. What does it mean for those of us who are rich to pay for drinks to our brothers? It's just a reward for the army. It doesn't need to be included in your 3 million military pay. This is for the army. You can extort another 3 million. Besides, it's only 300,000 taels. What a big deal. Ship it to the inland. The price of salt in the country can just fluctuate casually. Now that the war is in chaos, this kind of transportation also involves risking lives, so it is normal for the price to fluctuate.

Of course, the Huai'an salt merchants never stopped giving Yang Feng rewards for his troops.

Since the last time he performed a palm dance in Huai'an, at least one-third of his military expenses have been borne by Huaiyang salt merchants.

Although their 300,000 yuan to bribe Duduo did fail, it was not their fault.

His immortal seed!
Not only fairy seeds, but also fairy medicine.

All in all, they are immortal.

They just face the beast with human standards.

……

These things are very famous. Countless merchants gathered from the Huaihe River, Canal, and Yellow River to Huai'an, and then passed through the Yanhe River to Shanghai Prefecture, because Yang Feng's core control area is actually the triangle area of ​​Haizhou, Juzhou, and Yizhou, and then extends to Xuzhou .

Another example is glass mirror.

There are also fairy weapons.

The large glass mirror is cut with a glass knife and then placed in a beautiful homemade photo frame.

Of course, although they were no longer afraid of Li Zicheng going south at that time, their support for Yang Feng continued.

There are even people who simply buy a boatload of pumpkins and take them back as delicacies.

In fact, he is also making his own glass mirror, but he has not yet succeeded. After all, Yang Shaobao draws the prize directly from the cornucopia and does not come with a complete set of technical information, so this kind of technology development takes some time.

This area is full of forts and Jiahe is wild.

Then these profiteers spread out in Haizhou and bought everything they could take back and sell, such as new crop seeds, homemade antibiotic pills that were supposed to be taken but were left by patients to make a fortune, which were actually capsules that were opened and wrapped in Just wax balls made from honey. This thing couldn't be given directly to patients in capsules. The dosage would be too huge, so Yang Feng found some women who were responsible for taking apart the capsules and making small-dose pills.

What's more, a large part of the city's current prosperity is due to Yang Feng.

They are the ones who have the keenest grasp of the situation.

After all, when Li Zicheng entered the capital, the Huaiyang salt merchants were terrified. Especially after Li Zicheng entered the capital, Yang Feng became their patron saint. At least at that time, apart from Yang Feng, there was no one else on the canal line. Those who could stop Li Zicheng did not begin to breathe a sigh of relief until the battle of Shanhaiguan.

All in all worth acquiring.

……

Pumpkins are different from other crops.

It's just a significant reduction from the past, but it won't be enough to stop funding him.

As the households of the Yang family, the refugees in Wubao have to hand over the food produced to the Yang family, and then the Yang family will preside over the distribution. In fact, they still don’t have enough to eat simply by relying on production. New crops only It can alleviate the famine but not solve it, so that farmers can still rely on the canned food supplied by the Yang family. The produced food is handed over and then redistributed to ensure the minimum supply of food to the greatest extent. In other words, even without canned food and purchased food supplements, one can survive from hunger simply relying on agricultural production.

However, vegetables such as pumpkins are not among them. These are at the discretion of the farmers, although the wasteland they reclaimed for this purpose still belongs to the Yang family.

Therefore, these crops have spread very quickly and are now spread all over the country.

It is also the main product used by bookmakers for external transactions.

Then these profiteers gathered in Huai'an and returned to various places. In fact, there were also small traders who sold the immortal products they obtained in Huai'an to those with no connections.

Acquisitions also need to be successful.

There is no way to trick people to death, and it is even possible to lose both people and money.

The folk customs are simple!
This was the case in ancient times.

The folk customs are simple and honest for the locals. Businessmen from other provinces have no way to pass by rashly, and the meat with a flat knife is the standard.

Even though the canal was cut off by Yang Feng and the water transport volume dropped sharply, Huai'an still prospered because of the addition of this industry. Yang Feng purchased a large amount of grain and cloth in Huai'an, and even the trade between him and Li Zicheng also went through Huai'an. After all, bulk trade is still inseparable from waterways, and land transportation to Xuzhou is far inferior to taking the Salt River to Huai'an, and then turning to the Yellow River to go north. For this reason, Yang Feng even organized manpower to dredge the Salt River again. Also because the canal was cut off by Yang Feng in Dezhou, goods from the north had to go south by sea. Although part of it went to the mouth of the Yangtze River, part of it went to Haizhou and then to Huai'an to enter the canal. Especially after the reconstruction of Dongjiang Town, Liaodong's commodities were mainly Take this route to enter the Ming Dynasty.

Xugouying suddenly became prosperous.

Uncle Yang Shaobao's family is now the most powerful in Haizhou, and even the governor has to grovel when he sees it.

Yang Shaobao, who had committed no crime in the autumn of Huai'an but easily earned 300,000 yuan, generously used 50,000 yuan to support the families of local soldiers who were injured or killed in Huai'an. As the commander-in-chief of Huai'an, Qiu Lei still had many locals under his command, or they ran away with him. To Huai'an. Qiu Lei's troops suffered nearly two thousand casualties in the Battle of Dezhou, and one-third of them had their own family members in Huai'an. Of course, Yang Shaobao could not forget them. For a time, Yang Shaobao's image became righteous again.

At the same time, Nanjing was already in a state of turmoil...

Yang Feng!
Fire prevention and theft prevention Yang Feng!

The blood and tears of the nobles in the capital were stained. Although Yang Feng was not the one who crushed the grand fireworks of the nobles in the capital, he was the first to torture the nobles and tear off the last layer of their painting.

The clamping sticks used by Liu Zongmin were bought from Yang Feng!
Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng later learned from him. Just because he robbed the least and was the best at acting and disguising himself, we cannot ignore the evil he did during the fall of the nobles in the capital. He was the first to tell the people behind him. In fact, You can make a fortune by pinching out the brains of noble people.

And now he has crossed the Yellow River. He is coming to Nanjing.

Nanjing Xungui was the first to refuse...

Of course, even if they don't agree, it will be of no use.

Although the power of Nanjing nobles at this time is much stronger than in the past. After all, Nanjing garrison military ministers and admiral Cao Jiang Wuchen are all qualified to participate in decision-making during the Nanjing court meeting, but in the end it is still useless. They have been in ruins for two hundred years. Do we expect them to cheer up in just half a year and restore the style of their ancestors? Are you kidding, rubbish is rubbish after all. When the Qing army came to Nanjing, they knelt down without hesitation, even without even symbolic resistance. Similarly, now facing Yang Feng's march south, they only verbally opposed it fiercely. The outside world is still helpless.

Nanjing.

"Three hundred years of noble honor!
Yang Feng only had three thousand cavalry, but he was already so frightened that he seemed to be destroyed. "

In a small building facing the street, Censor Huang Shu looked at Wei Guogong Xu Hongji who had just come out of the Ministry of War with contempt.

Of course, this is the famous weirdo in the late Ming Dynasty. He used to be an official in Kaifeng. He collaborated with Gao Mingheng, Hou Xun and others to dig the Yellow River and flood Kaifeng. After that, he was promoted to censor. However, a smart man like him was in chaos. He did not go to the capital, but stayed outside. It was completely reasonable to travel for a year in the chaos of war and the long distance. Then he escaped the chaos in the capital until Li Zicheng went north, and he hurried to Nanjing. Now he is still the censor, and has been ordered to patrol Huguang and serve as Zuo Liangyu's supervisor.

He is an old friend of Zuo Liangyu, and especially has a deep relationship with Zuo Liangyu's son Zuo Mengeng.

I don’t know if there is diplomacy, but even if there is, it is normal. After all, Zuo Liangyu started out as a diplomat.

As for the Duke of Wei outside, he is actually old and can't even ride a horse. He can only sit in a sedan chair. He looks very majestic while wearing his ducal ceremonial guard among the servants. However, in the middle of summer, it can be seen from the opened curtains. The Duke of Wei looked worried.

He had just discussed the response with Shi Kefa and others at the Ministry of War.

At this moment, a middle-aged handsome guy with a killer temperament walked upstairs.

"Muzhai Gong."

Huang Shu and others rushed forward to greet him.

Shui Tailiang is still a resident eunuch today. In fact, he was dismissed from his post, but he had been pardoned before, so he was re-listed as a resident eunuch.

He is a member of the Suzhou Elderly Association, but he is not the leader. There are too many rural officials in Suzhou who are higher than him. What's more, it is impossible for the Suzhou gentry to let a Changshu person be the leader. However, he is the leader of the Changshu Township Elders Association. Currently, Suzhou is following the example of Shandong. Each state and county has a township association, and then the heads of the township association jointly form an elders association. It has even followed the example of the Knights of Confucius and Mencius, forming its own regiment in Suzhou, and has recruited three thousand soldiers. The same is true of the sons of the noble families who serve as officers, and the young men of the clan who serve as soldiers.

As for Shui Tailiang, he was entrusted by the Suzhou Elderly Association to participate in aircraft maintenance in Nanjing.

Although he is not an official, and although he is not qualified to participate in the ministerial meeting, as the de facto leader of the Donglin Party, his words must be taken seriously.

Historically, he went to Nanjing as a rural eunuch to help with the issue of who should be established.

After learning about Li Hongguang from Gao Hongtu, his face changed with anger. Gao Hongtu advised him that since he has already decided, he will be the new king in the future, and you have to accept the reality. Then he quickly put on a gesture of welcoming the new king.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, what was the result of the meeting?"

Huang Shu asked directly.

"What can be the outcome of such a meeting? Shi Daolin is strict with the system and does not dare to openly mobilize troops to stop it. Why does Yang Feng hold the imperial edict in his hand and cannot openly resist it? So the person who goes against it is considered an imperial edict? This is ridiculous! He actually wants to let all the places If the regiment goes north to stop Yang Feng, it can even give the regiment the power. It is just that the regiment goes north to Qinwang and encounters Yang Feng. But the regiments everywhere are guarding Sangzi. Who is willing to come to the southern capital to protect these nobles? Ning Nanbo led his army into the southern capital, but Wei Guogong and others refused, saying that Ning Nanbo's military discipline was corrupt and chaos would easily occur after arriving in the southern capital.

Some people also wanted Huang Degong to station in Nandu, but Wei Guogong also refused.

They didn't want to send these foreign soldiers into Nandu to protect their wealth, and they were reluctant to use money to recruit soldiers. They didn't want Yang Feng to go into the city and use sticks on them. In the end, they couldn't come up with a resolution. "

Qian Qianyi said.

He was observing the meeting from behind a screen.

Of course, everyone knows that, in fact, there are many like him sent by elders associations from various places, and they all hide behind the screen to listen during the meeting.

This was done by Shi Kefa.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the gentry from various places opposing their resolutions. If there is dissatisfaction during the meeting, officials who represent their interests will be sent immediately, and the latter will have to comply with their requirements when they come out.
Because more and more people are observing, so are the number of people attending the meeting.

It was originally just six ministers, all censors, and then expanded to Jiuqing, that is, adding the General Secretary and the Minister of Dali Temple. Now it has been expanded to the Xiaojiuqing, that is, adding the Minister of Taichang Temple, the Minister of Taipusi, and the Minister of Guang. Lu Si Qing, Zhan Shi, Hanlin Bachelor, Honglu Si Qing, Imperial Academy Jijiu, Yuan Ma Si Qing, Shang Bao Si Qing. Coupled with the garrison eunuchs, garrison military ministers, admiral Cao Jiang, etc., the meeting was also very large-scale. Also because there were too many people talking, the discussion could not produce any results. In fact, up to now, not only big things, but also small things have to be argued for several days.

The key is that no one has enough authority to make decisions.

Shi Kefa definitely can't do it. He is indecisive and is not a decision-maker. He has been cheated in history.

In fact, Ma Shiying is the only one among these officials who has decision-making ability. Unfortunately, his background is too low, and the sages in Jiangnan do not look down on him at all. After all, he and the Governor of Fengyang were sent by Ruan Dacheng.

The latter spent a huge sum of money to support Zhou Yanru in an attempt to return to the court, but Zhou Yanru could not do it after accepting the money. It was not that he did not want to help him, but that the Donglin faction hated this traitor with bitter hatred, and Zhou Yanru did not accept the money. Dare to provoke public anger, but taking money and not doing anything is also a taboo in this industry, so Ruan Dacheng could only ask Zhou Yanru to promote his good friend Ma Shiying to the governor of Fengyang, and Lao Ma became the governor of Fengyang.

Therefore, people of his origin are naturally despised.

"Look, I said this is the result. What else is there to discuss? Li Benzhen fled without a fight. How can he still expect Gao Jie to stop Yang Feng? Huang Chuangzi is even more useless. Only the one who can restrain Yang Feng now is As for Uncle Ning Nan, we don’t need to rely on Shi Daolin at all. We only need a letter from Duke Mu Zhai, and I will arrange for it to be sent to Wuchang. Please ask Uncle Ning Nan to go to Nandu as soon as possible. We can reach Nandu in just a few days by going down the river. "

Huang Shu said.

"In that case, why doesn't Zhong Lin repair his books?"

Shui Tailiang said with a smile.

Huang Shu also laughed.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, how can I compare with you in my status as a junior? Uncle Ning Nan is also a mature and prudent man. How could he rashly come to Beijing with just a letter from a junior?"

He said.

Qian Qianyi smiled.

Why does Zuo Liangyu need his letter?
What Zuo Liangyu needs is that he, as the core of the Jiangnan gentry, can guarantee on behalf of the Jiangnan gentry that he will support Zuo Liangyu in the future.
