People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 9 Use "Along the River During Qingming Festival" to bribe Chen Han!

The next day, a person who Chen Han didn't expect appeared among the team that searched the house - Zhang Siwei.

Players of real-time strategy games have a talent-collecting habit.

But Chen Han now has no idea of ​​collecting anything from Zhang Siwei.

Speaking of which, Zhang Siwei is also a figure. He is the next chief assistant after Zhang Juzheng's death.

In order to win people's hearts, this person not only abolished all Zhang Juzheng's reforms without any filtering.

This led to the vigorous Wanli reform coming to an abrupt end.

Zhang Siwei comes from a family that has been doing business for generations in Puzhou, Shanxi. He is the second generation of wealth.

And this identity is just his simplest background.

During the Wanli period, there were two governors with very great power, Governor Xuanda and Governor Jiliao.

The governor of Xuanda at this time was Wang Chonggu, a famous general in the late Ming Dynasty.

Wang Chonggu is Zhang Siwei's biological uncle.

Zhang Siwei's father was a famous salt merchant in Puzhou, and his grandfather made bamboo, lacquerware, and also transported military rations.

The uncle runs a huge trading market;

My father-in-law also bought and sold in various places.

His uncle, uncle, second brother's father-in-law, and fifth brother's two father-in-laws are all famous wealthy people in Shanxi.

In this way, the in-laws of Zhang Siwei's family supported half of Shanxi's GDP at that time.

This is still in business.

Later, Zhang Siwei entered the official career, except for his uncle, the governor of Xuanda, as his backer.

Yang Bo, who was one of the four talents in the world in Yan Shifan's words, was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel at that time, and was his fellow countryman and son and daughter's in-laws.

His two sons took Yang Bo's two granddaughters respectively.

Zhang Siwei not only grew up with a golden key in his mouth, but also has a huge wealth network behind him.

It can be seen that the reason why Zhang Siwei abolished all Zhang Juzheng's reform measures after he became the chief minister of the cabinet.

Just because Zhang Juzheng's whipping method was aimed at these rich and powerful gentry class.

The Zhang Siwei family itself is a wealthy family and the largest landlord class.

After he came up, how could he let Zhang Juzheng's reform measures rip off his own flesh and blood?

So Chen Han felt uncomfortable seeing this person.

Zhang Juzheng was a politician with little background and almost made his fortune from scratch.

He was not a perfect man, and he enjoyed luxury, but he did make great contributions to the country and the people.

It is precisely because Zhang Juzheng had no background, but was able to do the emperor's work as a minister in a dynasty like the Ming Dynasty where imperial power reached its peak, that is even more admirable.

And this Zhang Siwei is simply a villain.

At this time, Zhang Siwei had not yet become the Minister of Rites and the Bachelor of Dongge, and had not yet entered the cabinet.

He is now a waiter in the East Palace. At this time, Zhang Siwei is already preparing to move towards the pinnacle of power through his own network of relationships.

So with the shrewdness of a businessman, he saw Chen Han's value in an instant.

The emperor suddenly asked Chen Han to search Feng Bao's home, and he began to think in his heart:
Feng Bao has been involved in corruption and bribery over the years. His Majesty asked this man to ransack Feng Bao's house because he must have wanted to take the opportunity to reward Chen Han.

Although this person is young, it must be unusual for him to be promoted from a handyman in a hospital to the commander of the Royal Guards in a short period of time.

If I can make friends with him at this time, it will definitely be helpful to my future career. Yes, now I am here to record the list of the confiscation of Feng Bao’s house.

Later, when he saw something he was satisfied with, I would cross it out and give it to him as a token of my friendship with him.

Thinking of this, Zhang Siwei made a plan.

Of course Chen Han didn't know that he had been identified by Zhang Siwei as someone who could promote him.

……

A group of people rode on tall horses and arrived at Feng Bao's home.

After entering Feng Bao's mansion, Chen Han knew what a wealthy family was like.

Feng Bao's home has a courtyard with seven yards, not to mention the carved beams and painted pillars.

It is not far behind the imperial village where he currently lives, and Feng Bao is a very cultured person, both a musician and a calligrapher.
Therefore, his home has a collection of many famous calligraphy and paintings as well as ancient guqin relics.

The reason why Chen Han came to raid Feng Bao's house was because he knew that in history, Feng Bao obtained the famous "Along the River During the Qingming Festival".

Feng Bao even left an inscription and postscript on the Qingming River Scene.

Chen Han felt itchy in his heart. If he could see and touch Riverside During the Qingming Festival in this game, he might have good luck.

As for money, it is really something external to him.

But this makes it a bit difficult to follow him around and focus on the four dimensions.

He thought that Chen Han, a commander of the Imperial Guard with a background as a handyman, should not be too greedy.

Whenever you see something good, you have to put it into your own pocket.

Unexpectedly, Chen Han seemed not to be interested in rare and exotic treasures at all.

Even the famous calligraphy and paintings carefully collected by Feng Bao seemed to be interested in them.

This made Zhang Siwei anxious. When he saw Chen Han let Cao Zhengchun command people, he searched out all the rare and rare treasures in Feng Bao's house.

Chen Han didn't look at anything differently.

Zhang Siwei finally pretended to test Chen Han in his spare time while Teng was copying the list, "Tishuai, you really have good eyesight. Although the official's family is engaged in business,

But I have never seen such rare treasures in his house. Just saying that Qiu Ying's picture of the Taoyuan Wonderland is a masterpiece, it is really an eye-opener. "

Chen Han did not doubt that he was testing, and said casually: "No, although these are divine products, I heard that Feng Bao got the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival by Song Dynasty Zhang Zeduan.
I wanted to borrow it for a look, but I didn't expect that the rumors were wrong. "

Zhang Shiwei's eyes lit up when he heard Chen Han's words, and he thought to himself: "Okay, you, a handyman, actually know the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". No wonder you are not interested in the famous calligraphy and paintings in Feng Bao's house. You have a higher vision. Then But a divine product.

Zhang Siwei's heart aches when he thinks of this, because the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" is now in his hands, not Feng Bao's.

It cost a thousand taels of gold to buy, so he really couldn't bear to give it away like this.

But he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, thinking: For the sake of a bright future, what does a painting mean?
Zhang Siwei took advantage of Chen Han's inadvertent order and ordered one of the soldiers to go to their house.

The search of the house lasted for two hours. Things like how to count Feng Bao's property and register it later were not what Chen Han wanted to see.

In the end, because Feng Bao no longer had the power he would have in the next ten years, he didn't make much money.

The scattered pieces that were converted into silver taels looked like eighty or ninety thousand taels, which can be considered honest.

When Chen Han was uninterested in his work and was about to return home to explore the mysteries of life, Zhang Siwei suddenly and mysteriously called Chen Han aside.

"Tishuai, Beizhong, I see that you care very much about the painting Along the River During the Qingming Festival. It just so happens that this painting is in Beizhong's hands.

It is really difficult for a humble person with little talent and little knowledge to achieve such a divine product, so why not leave it here for safekeeping, sir? "
