Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

After buying the weapons, Wu Shigong felt a little speechless.The price of this weapon is too expensive.It has been more than a month since Wu Shigong traveled to the Ming Dynasty, and he basically understands that the price ratio between silver and modern currency is about 175:1 to [-]:[-].Even on a one-to-five-hundred basis, buying these weapons is equivalent to [-] million yuan in modern times.Counting each casino guard, each has more than [-].And there is nothing equipped yet. Each person only has two knives and a few firecrackers.Wu Shigong didn't know that in the Ming Dynasty, weapons were mainly made by hand, and the price was of course much more expensive than modern industrial production.However, the price of the weapon this time was indeed a bit high by Yang Goudan, and Wu Shigong was also taken advantage of.

Now, besides inspecting the site of cleaning up the ruins every day, Wu Shigong has more free time.So, I often sneak home to accompany my little wife, after all, they are still on their honeymoon.Now Wu Shigong is not so afraid of his father-in-law Xue Lian scolding him for being lazy, because he has Xue Yufei by his side, such a defensive artifact.However, it is not good to be at home all the time.One day, Wu Shigong took 200 taels of silver and some gifts to visit Sun Chengxiu who was also on honeymoon.

Sun Chengxiu is now renting a small courtyard to live in.Of course I am very happy to see Wu Shigong coming.He hurriedly ordered his daughter-in-law to get some food and wine, and the two chatted while drinking.Although there is a 15-year age difference between Wu Shigong and Sun Chengxiu, and there are some differences in personality and temper, the two really hit it off.The two chatted about the lace in the capital, and talked about some interesting things in the past, as if there was endless talk.While chatting happily, some guests came to Sun Chengxiu's house.

The visitors were several scholars who asked Sun Chengxiu to attend a literary meeting.Sun Chengxiu introduced Wu Shigong to those scholars, and to whomever he introduced, both parties saluted very politely.But when he introduced a scholar named Yu Zilian, Yu Zilian said a few words about Wu Shigong in a weird way.Anyway, the meaning in the words points out that Wu Shigong is a eunuch.

In the previous life, the roles of eunuchs were basically villains, and Wei Zhongxian was a superstar among the villains.Although Wu Shigong got on Wei Zhongxian's boat involuntarily, he could always tell the good from the bad in his heart, so he was always faintly ashamed of his Wei Party status.Today Yu Zilian ridiculed him as an eunuch, Wu Shigong was a little unhappy.

Seeing the awkward situation, Sun Chengxiu hurried forward to smooth things over.But when Yu Zilian saw Wu Shigong remained silent, he became more energetic.He said Wu Shigong several times in succession.Wu Shigong basically couldn't understand the meaning of the words, but seeing the few scholars next to him laughing again and again after listening to it, Wu Shigong knew that there was nothing good to say.This is the abomination of literati, who don't use dirty words when they curse.

Seeing such a situation, Sun Chengxiu felt embarrassed instead.I don't know what to advise?Still don't advise?Seeing Sun Chengxiu was embarrassed, Wu Shigong was also not easy to get angry.Besides, Wu Shigong, no matter in his previous life or in this life, respects people with knowledge.And the eunuchs those scholars scolded were not wrong.Therefore, Wu Shigong pinched his nose, held back his breath, said goodbye to Sun Chengxiu, and left in despair.

In mid-July, the wind direction in the court began to change.In response to the impeachment storm launched by the Donglin Party, other civil servants also raised their voices of opposition.Among the civil officials who opposed the Donglin Party, some were Wei Zhongxian's henchmen;However, among them, there are also some honest civil servants. They saw that the disaster relief has indeed begun to be effective, so they came to refute the nonsense of the Donglin Party.In the face of these oppositions, the Donglin Party became more and more courageous. It launched wave after wave of impeachment, and its words became more and more fierce each time.This caused Emperor Tianqi a lot of headaches, and made him waste several times in succession when he was doing carpentry work.

Of course Wu Shigong wouldn't worry about the affairs of the court, he did have more free time during the day, but he had more banquet invitations at night.Basically, they were invited by the guilds and gangs in Nancheng.Naturally, Wu Shigong would not lose his identity to participate in this kind of banquet, so he basically gave up this opportunity to his subordinates and asked them to attend on his behalf.Since Xu Limu's work is relatively busy at night, such good things basically fall on Zhou Xun's head.

This kind of approach made Zhou Xunda very grateful, and felt that Wu Shigong, the boss, was both brave and capable, and he was very generous.In fact, this is just a habit of Wu Shigong from his previous life.As a boss, there are always likes and dislikes for your subordinates.When the boss faces his subordinates, it is okay to be partial, but as long as the subordinates have made achievements, no matter whether they like it or not, they must be rewarded.Although Zhou Xun provoked Wu Shigong when Wu Shigong first arrived at the Bingma Division, he performed relatively well in the future, whether it was military training or cleaning up the ruins. Therefore, Zhou Xun should be given appropriate rewards .The young people didn't have any overnight feud, and the relationship between Wu Shigong and Zhou Xun was much more harmonious.

But later, Wu Shigong had to attend two strange invitations.

Once it was Gu Yushi who came to invite him.Although Nagu Yushi only wrote a trivial impeachment memorial to impeach the small backbone of the Wei Party-Wu Shigong.But now, Nagu Yushi was scared again.He was afraid that his impeachment would cause Wu Shigong to hold grudges. Thinking about Wu Shigong being spit on by his subordinates and killing two of them, Wu Shigong must have a big deal.Therefore, I wanted to entertain Wu Shigong to make up the relationship between the two parties.

But Gu Yushi didn't want to lose face as a scholar, so he didn't want to speak directly.So the atmosphere at the banquet was rather strange.Although Gu Yushi and Wu Shigong seemed to be chatting and laughing happily, they always felt that they could not find a common language.Gu Yushi concealed his wishes several times, but first, Wu Shigong didn't know the real purpose of Gu Yushi's invitation to the banquet, and second, Wu Shigong really couldn't understand Gu Yushi's hidden words.Therefore, the banquet ended in vain.

After the banquet, Wu Shigong called Zhang Kequan, told Zhang Kequan what was strange in his heart, and asked him to help analyze Gu Yushi's meaning.After listening to Wu Shigong and Gu Yushi's relationship in detail and Gu Yushi's words at this banquet, Zhang Kequan guessed Gu Yushi's thoughts very closely.

In fact, in his heart, Wu Shigong didn't want to do anything to his boss, Gu Yushi.After knowing Gu Yushi's thoughts, Wu Shigong went to his father-in-law Xue Lian to inquire about it. Xue Lian told him that Wei Zhongxian didn't take Gu Yushi, a small shrimp, at all.

Who wouldn't want to do this kind of thing?So Wu Shigong sent someone to report a letter to Gu Yushi.At that time, Gu Yushi thought that the purpose of the banquet was not successful, and was wandering around in his room.Hearing the good news about Wu Shigong, he was immediately ecstatic.

Gu Yushi immediately prepared a generous gift and sent it to Wu Shigong.Wu Shigong accepted Gu Yushi's kindness, but he did not accept the gift.Wu Shigong also didn't want to make his relationship with Gu Yushi the same as doing business.This made Gu Yushi even more grateful.

Another banquet was hosted by a Huang Tongzhi from Shuntian Mansion.

The governor of the Shuntian Mansion played Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian this time when it came to dispatching corvees to clean up the ruins.What's even more hateful is that the Fu Yin actually took the money and did nothing.Therefore, on Wei Zhongxian's blacklist, the governor of Nashuntian Mansion is definitely at the top.And this time when the factory guards and soldiers and horses distributed the benefits of the Nancheng Gang, the main reason why they didn't include the Shuntian Mansion was also to vent their anger for Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian.

Faced with such a situation, the governor of Shuntian Mansion is a dead pig who is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.But the officials at the bottom of Shuntian Mansion were all panicked, fearing that they would be affected by Chi Yu, and that Wei Zhongxian would take the blame.And Huang Tongzhi also had some other thoughts: If the position of the prefect could not be kept, would it be possible for Huang Tongzhi, the second in command of the Shuntian Mansion, to move up?

But small officials like them couldn't see Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian at all, so Huang Tongzhi came to invite Wu Shigong to get in touch.

Hearing the invitation from the officials of Shuntian Mansion, Wu Shigong immediately wanted to refuse directly.But along with the invitation post, 200 taels of silver were sent over.For Yinzi's sake, Wu Shigong agreed to meet with Huang Tongzhi, hoping to hear what Huang Tongzhi had to say.

At the banquet, Huang Tongzhi explained clearly the reason for his visit.For such a big matter, Wu Shigong didn't dare to decide by himself.He introduced Huang Tongzhi to his father-in-law Xue Lian.After Xue Lian thought about it, he introduced Huang Tongzhi to Wei Zhongxian.Wei Zhongxian agreed to Huang Tongzhi's request, but asked Huang Tongzhi to write an impeachment memorial to impeach Shuntian Fu Yin for corruption and perverting the law.At this time, the more shells to deal with the Donglin Party, the better.Besides, afterward, Huang Tongzhi gave both Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian generous gifts.Even Wu Shigong received another small gift.

As for the distribution of gang interests in Shuntian Mansion, Huang Tongzhi never mentioned it to Wu Shigong compared to the current major issues.

When Emperor Tianqi broke the carpentry job again and was furious, Wei Zhongxian promptly handed over all the thank-you letters he had collected from the common people and the excerpts of the sentence insulting Emperor Tianqi in the impeachment memorial of the Donglin Party to Emperor Tianqi. .Emperor Tianqi added fuel to the fire after seeing it, and immediately ordered Wei Zhongxian to severely punish those civil servants who had no king or father.Wei Zhongxian's purge of the Donglin Party began.
