Win the Ding 1617

() Yes, we want to open up a second battlefield, the land of the south of the Yangtze River, the land of fish and rice, outstanding people, this place must be contested. Naturally, the soldiers and horses go first before the food and grass are used, but the meaning of food and grass is extremely broad and profound.

"You must remember the good times of the year, the most orange-yellow-orange-green time."

Autumn, especially at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, in the eyes of literati, it is the most beautiful season among the two southeastern fats of Hangjiahu and Su Songtai. <Wandering on the Su Causeway, looking at the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon in front of me, and looking at the lights of Hangzhou City in the distance. "Ye Mou died in exile a few years ago, so he couldn't visit this blessed place in the southeast in detail. He signaled him to wait in a teahouse beside him, and said with a low voice, "Although the general spared your lord's attention because of the Hue incident He was holding various positions, but transferred back Mr. Li Er, who was originally in Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture, to be in charge of Guangdong and Guangxi affairs, and handed over this southeast gold powder land to the adults. Isn't it necessary to entrust him with a heavy responsibility? "

Hearing this, Ye Qi just smiled and said nothing.

Ye Qi, since the new army massacred the city that day, according to the strategy given by the guards, he led his troops to set up cannons on the top of the city, and ordered all the people in the city to put down their weapons, otherwise they will be killed.Even so, when he led his troops into the royal city, he was shocked to find out that "all members of the Ruan family were killed." <.Today, he is one of the big shopkeepers of the Hanyuan firm.Responsible for the sales of various goods of Nanzhong in the Hangjiahu Plain and Susongtai Plain, as well as the procurement of various raw materials and the introduction of technical personnel.

At the same time, Shou Han also entrusted him with a task and power, which is to hand over the Jiangnan and Jiangbei affairs of the Hanyuan Company's business investigation room and statistics office to him.

"The area of ​​Shangjiang, Xiajiang, Jiangxi, southern Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Fujian includes geography, folk customs, customs, climate, rivers, minerals, special products, fields, taxes, camps, armaments, warships, forts, etc. You have to pay more attention to everything and compile it into a book. You should also set up more eyeliner and hidden posts everywhere." Shou Han's words still echoed in Ye Qi's ears.

However, when the ship passed through Wusongkou, Ye Qi felt that the blessed land in the southeast at this time seemed to be a little different from the one he passed through when he was on his exile a few years ago.

I came all the way, but I saw houses collapsed and refugees everywhere.The original majestic city wall has collapsed a lot, and the row upon row of private houses has been turned into ruins. In the past, it was called Jiangnan, where there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below, and it seems to have become a concentration camp for refugees.As far as the eye can see, there are refugees begging.

After careful questioning, Ye Qi learned that Yingtian, Suzhou, Songjiang, Fengyang, Sizhou, Huai'an, Yangzhou, Chuzhou and other prefectures in Nanzhili suffered a severe blow on December 22, the third year of the Apocalypse. earthquake.The epicenter was in Yangzhou Prefecture.There are more than 380 piles of collapsed city walls and more than [-] city shops in Yangzhou.The walls of Yingtian shake, the roof beams and pillars make their own sounds, the walls and walls of the city collapse, the Gaochun earthquake makes a sound, the buildings fall, the water overflows, and the Jurong tiles fall and the house collapses.In Changzhou, Zhenjiang, and Yangzhou, the sound was like a huge thunder, knocking down countless houses and crushing many lives.The water in Huai'an Mansion's lake turned and moved.The walls of Taizhou shook, and the rivers roared.Changshu's walls and houses are shaking, and all walkers are servants.The top of Dongcha Futu was also shaken, and the ground inside and outside the city was cracked.Chongjiao Xingguo Temple, the top of the tower is inclined.Wujiang, Zhenze, Jiading, Jiangdu, Tongzhou (now Nantong), Taixing, Wusongsuo, and Yixing, the capital of Changzhou, all shook like thunder.Houses in Huating, Shanghai, Nanhui Shouyu, Yishabao, Wuxi, and Jingjiang in Songjiang Prefecture were all shaken, and the lakes and lakes of Wujin's ruined houses were flying.Yingtianfu, Shangyuan, Jiangning, **, Wuxian, Jiangyin, Danyang, Jintan, Dantu, Liyang and Jiangxi were all shaken on the same day.

In the first month of the fourth year, there was another mutiny in Hangzhou.Because of the fire, the soldiers rose up in chaos, and there were ten buildings outside the gate of Qiantang.

On February [-], an earthquake occurred in Luanzhou, the capital (now Luan County, Hebei).First, on the thirteenth day, Jizhou, Yongping, Shanhaiguan and other places were repeatedly shaken, destroying the city walls and houses.As a result, the Luanzhou earthquake destroyed countless houses, and the ground cracked and water gushed out foreign objects.In the old shop village of Leting, the ground cracks and black water gushes out, more than a foot high.The sound of Qian'an was like a huge thunder, and countless city walls and houses were destroyed.Lu Long knocked down many government and civilian houses.The palace in the capital was shaking and the water in the copper vat was shaking.

In the middle of the night on July [-]th, when the residents were sleeping soundly, the river broke through the Kuishan embankment, and the turbid waves rushed into the city of Xuzhou. Submerged in six or seven meters of water, the bustling and noisy city of Xuzhou turned into a lake overnight.

There are many natural disasters in sight.Seeing it, Ye Qi couldn't help but shake her head and feel sad for someone who has seen many corpses piled up on the battlefield.

"What a beautiful carriage!" On the Gushan Road, a few dandies rushed down, pointing to Ye Qi's four-wheeled glass carriage enviously, and pointing and commenting around the carriage very presumptuously.

The wheels and frame made of fine steel are integrated, and the car is made of high-quality red sandalwood and rosewood. It is painted with clear oil to maintain the original color and pattern of the wood. It is really lovely against the setting sun.Coupled with the polished copper-nickel car shaft, the three-foot-wide glass window is covered with white gauze, so the decoration inside the car cannot be seen clearly, but from the seat specially designed for the driver, You can know that the setting in the compartment must also be extremely luxurious.

"Hello!" A dandy pointed at Ye Qi's entourage with a folding fan on the horse, "Wu that bumpkin, whose car is this?"

The entourage was born as a soldier who had fought several times with Ye Qi, and he rolled his eyes, "It's my master's, so what?"

"I want to buy this car, how much money would it cost?"

"Who wants to buy it?" The four deacons sent by the Salt Gang and the Cao Gang to accompany Ye Qi turned around in a vicious manner.

Although these few people are dudes, they are all very able to see the situation clearly. Although these people are well-dressed, there is a faint aura of quackery in their expressions, and the servants beside the carriage are also holding their sabers The hilt of the knife is ready to explode at any time. Judging from the servant's expression, style, clothes, and sword, it must be a battle-tested figure with an unknown number of lives in his hands. On the edge of the West Lake, there are countless people every day. How many high-ranking officials and dignitaries come and go, who can have such a luxurious vehicle and such a sturdy servant, who knows who is the big man who came out to visit the mountains and rivers?It's better not to cause trouble.

A flash of thought flashed through his mind, he waved his hand to stop the servants around him, and the leader of the dandy got off his horse and smiled, "I don't know what to call this man? My brothers are also car lovers, and when they see expensive cars, they are extremely inferior to Ye Qi." "These few in front of me are sons, nephews and brothers of wealthy businessmen in Huzhou and Hangzhou. They also have fame and wealth in their families.Every day, he fights cocks and dogs, travels to mountains and scenic spots, and lingers in singing and dancing pavilions. "

Several dandies said hello, turned their horses' heads and walked away. After walking a few steps, they heard someone calling from behind. "Young masters, please stay behind!"

A dressed attendant quickly caught up, opened the worship box in his hand, and presented Ye Qi's famous cards one by one. "My master said that it is fate to meet you today, but I am in a hurry here, and it is inconvenient to talk with you. Although this thing is brief, please keep it well. In the future, my master will build a new car, and you can rely on this thing. Go to the store to taste one or two."

The assassin was actually made of silver, with Ye Qi's name written on it in gold. "Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture? Your Fenglian number?"

He turned out to be a businessman too!A few people were relieved a little, but now that there are big men in the court and dignitaries everywhere, which family has no one to do business?

"What's the benefit of this?" A rich man asked Ye Qi's entourage, thinking that he might be a famous assassin.

"My master deals in some overseas goods and foreign goods, such as this carriage, glass, mirrors, and some secret things in the boudoir, etc. The rules set by the master, as long as they hold the name of the master Damn, it’s the owner’s VIP, and every store will give a [-]% discount.” The entourage was also eloquent, and the group of dudes who said a few casual words were all smiling, “Worship your master for me, [-]% off No need, under the leadership of the Heyancao Gang, I don't know how many days have been sent out, such as the Caojiang yamen in Yingtianfu, the Susong Taifen patrol road, the river defense camp in the canal, the Yandao in Yangzhou, and other yamen in the south of the Yangtze River.

"My lord! Didn't you say that there is a heaven and there are Suzhou and Hangzhou?! But we have been here in Jiangnan for a while, and what we see are either refugees or this generation's wine bags and rice bags. According to me, this Suzhou and Hangzhou and this Jiangnan may not be as good as they are." We have to go to our Ha Tinh mansion!" A personal soldier waited for Ye Qi and Jiang Chun to get into the car, whispering complaints to Ye Qi.

"Exactly! At the very least, we don't have so many beggars in He Ting, and we don't have so much rubbish on the streets! The roads should be much better!" Another soldier began to comment on the appearance of the municipalities in the two places. <Hearing the discussion of the two soldiers, he felt the same in his heart. After returning, he was very sad to find that the picturesque Jiangnan in his heart had become so unbearable?The beggars on the street, the rubbish everywhere, and the people washing vegetables, rice, and toilets on Hebutou made him feel so uncomfortable after seeing them.

<b提起面前小几上的紫砂茶壶，为叶琪轻轻倒了一杯，有些熟不拘礼的口气同他谈论着自己的生意。

"It should be soon! A ship brought the Lord's letter five days ago. The items you mentioned have been prepared and will be shipped. Don't worry, you won't be delayed to grab the market. In addition, there are some good things you can't think of. Things, you have to come with the boat, and by then, your shop will be overcrowded, and these young masters will line up to make friends with you!" Ye Qi had a strange smile on her face, and for some reason, Jiang Chun suddenly thought of those witches.

"When will it arrive? It will be the twelfth lunar month soon, and all places will be preparing for the New Year's goods. The shop is afraid of running out of goods, and the second is afraid of insufficient positions."

"Hey! Brother Jiang, don't worry, I'm afraid these goods will arrive when we eat long fish and soup dumplings in Yangzhou."

"Oh! Then I will definitely charter a flower boat in Nanqu, and thank Mr. Ye well!"

Half a month later, Ying Tian.

The adults and gentlemen staying in the capital are rarely so surprised to find that on the Qinhuai River, Beiqu, which has always been suppressed by Nanqu, has the momentum of turning against customers and catching up from behind.

"I don't know it's that red guy from other places who came up with such an indecent repertoire and let the girl wear such clothes to dance in front of a large audience to entertain the guests!"

"Well, it won't work! Besides this kind of dance, it is said that there are other obscene things, what kind of sexy lingerie!"

"Nonsense! On the Qinhuai River, there are literati and scholars, talking about poetry and painting with girls, tasting flute and playing the piano, how can you tolerate such a messy thing?!"

All of a sudden, people from all walks of life in the streets, study studios and studios were talking about it.

"This Nanjing is the place where the country's dynasty was established and the dragon prospered, and there is also the mausoleum of the Taizu. The Nanjing garrison, the river defense camp, and the guarding eunuchs have eaten the imperial salary for nothing, so they tolerate such thieves and illicit things to go on the market?" Dong Dong The gentlemen of Lin Academy were heartbroken, stomping their feet and beating their chests.

"Many yamen said, is there any nakedness? There are dancers, neatly dressed, as for what to wear and what the guests think, but they don't do girls' affairs." The family members sent to various yamen to file complaints replied Master's words.

"Also, you asked me to go to Fenglian's Nanjing shop to buy ice silk stockings, sexy underwear, high-heeled shoes and other things for my concubine and several maidservants. The shop assistant said that each set of underwear is 40 taels of silver, and a pair of high-heeled shoes is 15 taels." , 80 taels for a pair of ice silk stockings; no counter-offering. He also said that there are only [-] sets in Nanjing now, if you want to buy it, hurry up, buy it, and if you don’t want to buy it, let the little one go away quickly, so as not to delay his business. He also said that Grandpa Xu’s family in the Garrison Mansion bought hundreds of pieces at a time, and used them for chickens and theater troupes.”

"You bastard! It's fine if you don't use it, but you're paying too much!" The young master was furious, "Why did you buy those worthless things from Nanxun in a shop in Hangzhou? And Is it much cheaper?"

Covering his face, the aggrieved servant knelt on the ground and defended: "Returning to the young master, I also asked about that matter. The guy at Fenglian said that anyone who has a name badge from his boss will be the first to buy it first. Second, you can get a discount on the products. Nowadays, the young masters in Nanjing all depend on whether you have this famous assassin of Ye Qi to arrange seats. I heard that there are several housekeepers in the prince's mansion in private Renting out Ye Qi's famous card to others costs 40 taels at a time."

"Bastard! Me! I want to write to the teacher! Ask him to come forward and question this Ye Qi, accuse him of crimes! Exile!" The young master, who had always held his own and behaved like a gentleman, was a little out of temper.

"Young master, I advise you not to bother. I heard that this Ye, now with the Caojiang yamen, the garrison yamen, the guarding eunuch, and the governor of Jiangsu, are walking around very frequently. I'm afraid it's..."

"Bah! You slave! What is my Donglin's training? The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of reading, the sound of reading; family affairs, state affairs, world affairs, everything, and care about everything. Ye Mou is nothing more than selling such filthy things, but also traffic The government, contacting eunuchs, smuggling and smuggling, evading national tax money, do you still have the king's law in your eyes?!"
