Ming Dynasty man

Chapter 22 Yuan Keli

"I heard that both Anyang and Weihui's mansions have written papers, but I didn't pay much attention here. I just sent someone to our store on the bright side to inquire about it, and nothing happened." Shopkeeper Wang said.

"Finally, I haven't fed them in vain all these years, and I didn't make trouble at this time." Shen Zheng sighed.

"I don't think so. If you can't see the young master, what's the use of them moving those small shops? I see that there are often servants around our shops. I'm afraid they are going to set a long line to catch big fish." Shopkeeper Wang shook his head.

Shen Zheng sneered: "It's a good idea. I've already had people sell all those shops secretly. I'm here this time to deal with this matter. At that time, the property will be transferred to you first, and other properties will be sold. All property must be transferred to you after the end."

"That's not right, young master. Although this grain shop is not opened in the name of the Shen family, there are still people who know about our relationship. A few days ago, someone at the yamen ventilated me and told me to be more careful." Shopkeeper Wang shook his head and said.

The Shen family owns more than a dozen shops in Zhengzhou, including pawnshops, silk and satin shops, jade shops, grain shops, and other profitable businesses.

Running so many businesses, he naturally has friendship with many people in the government. Although most of these people are only greedy for the filial piety of the Shen family, they can't be counted on when something happens, but there will always be a few who sincerely help, as Shopkeeper Wang said It's these people.

"Well, shopkeeper Wang is right. It's not safe here. In my opinion, it's better to find a few places outside the city and transfer the property there temporarily. After finding a safer place, transfer the property away." Li Jing continued.

Li Jing vaguely remembered that Zhengzhou seemed to be attacked by Li Zicheng's army later, and the big households and wealthy merchants in the city were basically looted by Li Zicheng. Shen Zheng put his property in the city, which was tantamount to giving Li Zicheng a gift in the future.

It's just that Li Jing can't remember when Li Zicheng broke through Zhengzhou!
"There is no problem with this. I still have two farms outside the city. Let's transfer the property to the farm for storage. We just need to add some people to take care of it." Shen Zhengdao.

"No, someone must know about the farm under Uncle Shi's name. It's best to find a place not under the Shen family's name." Li Jing shook his head and said.

"A few years ago, the old man rewarded my father with a farm, isn't it also outside the city? No one knows the relationship between that property and the Shen family, why don't we put it there?" Shopkeeper Wang said.

"Okay! Just put it there." Shen Zheng nodded.

Listening to Shen Zheng and shopkeeper Wang talking about this farm and that property for a while, Li Jing couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "How much property does the Shen family have? It seems that what I heard before is just a drop in the bucket. The God of Wealth really has to hurry up."

"It's just that how to transfer the property in the city to the outside of the city is a matter of consideration. We have too many things to transfer, and now some people are watching those shops. We are afraid that we will not be able to hide from those who are watching. " Shopkeeper Wang said.

"Our family transfers. Every night, we first transport our belongings, and then load the food on the car. In this way, no one knows what we are transporting when we go out of the city. As for the few who are following, I will leave it to me." Li Jing laughed.

"Don't hurt anyone." Shen Zheng said hastily.

"I know this, and the government will not be alarmed anyway." Li Jing smiled.

The three of them immediately set the time and order of action.Since the servants of the Shen family did not come forward, all the goods were transported by Li Jing's subordinates.

After the three of them discussed, Li Jing suddenly thought of something: "Since the Shen family has acquaintances in the government, can we let them inquire about any news from the court?"

In this era, Li Jing found that the information at this time was really blocked. If he could not grasp the various trends in the court, he would not be able to respond in time in the future.

"Uncle Shi, shopkeeper Wang, can you ask someone from the government to find out what's going on in the court?" Li Jing said.

Shopkeeper Wang was taken aback by Li Jing's words. What is this young man doing to inquire about the court's movements?Turning his head to look at Shen Zheng, he saw that Shen Zheng's expression was normal, and he didn't seem to care about what Li Jing said.

"It's not difficult. What happens in the court will be reported by the mansion, and all the prefectures can get the news in time. Some prefectures and counties have to spread the news to the villagers so that the common people know." Shopkeeper Wang said.

Khan, Li Jing sighed, the idea of ​​this businessman was totally wrong with him.

Of course Li Jing knew that there was a mansion newspaper in the imperial court, but what he wanted to know was not the superficial news, but some news that ordinary people could not know, such as where disasters occurred and where riots occurred. How could the court possibly know such news? Let the common people know?
But it's also good to hear news from the mansion, he couldn't even get news from the mansion when he was nested on that hill.

"Then is there any report from the mansion recently? Can shopkeeper Wang find out for me?" Li Jing said.

"It's just a coincidence. Two days ago, I invited Zhang Tongpan, who is in charge of food in the house, to have a drink. He told me about it. He said that the imperial court sent a report to the residence a few days ago, saying that Mr. Yuan might be dismissed and returned to his hometown. "Said the treasurer Wang.

"Which Master Yuan is going to be dismissed? Please explain more clearly!" Shen Zheng scolded.

"Of course it was Yuan Keli from Suizhou, Lord Yuan. I heard that he was going to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, but he was blocked by the Eunuch Party. Master Yuan resigned angrily. " Shopkeeper Wang said.

"Ah? Master Yuan Keli is going to be dismissed? Well, it's a pity to lose a good official. There are not many such officials in the imperial court." Shen Zheng sighed.

Suddenly hearing the name Yuan Keli, Li Jing seemed to think he had heard it somewhere, frowned and thought about it for a long time, then suddenly remembered that he had watched a TV series before, which told the story of Yuan Keli.

This Yuan Keli was a well-known upright official in the Ming Dynasty. He was fair and upright.

He was dismissed many times because of his disobedience and outspoken disobedience to the emperor.The longest time I stayed at home was 26 years.

In addition, Yuan Keli was also a great strategist in the late Ming Dynasty.

From a strategic point of view, Yuan Chonghuan is far behind.

When he was the governor of Denglai, his ability to control the generals to resist Houjin was far from comparable to that of the previous and subsequent governors.After Yuan Keli stepped down as governor of Denglai, the Ming Dynasty had few victories on the Liaodong battlefield, and never took the initiative to attack.And this person has excellent coordination ability. During his tenure, he cooperated closely with Mao Wenlong in Liaodong, but after Yuan Chonghuan took power, he killed Mao Wenlong.

Yuan Keli had never formed a party in his life, and he was disliked by the Eunuch Party and the Donglin Party. This time, Wei Zhongxian and others saw that he was rebellious and disobedient, so they made obstacles for him and pushed him out of the court.

Although there are many fictional elements in the TV series, there is no doubt that Yuan Keli is a great talent.If you can get Yuan Keli's help, it is better than getting thousands of troops.

Li Jing secretly made up his mind that no matter what method he used, he must get this person.

He also knew that Yuan Keli was old at this time, and he might not be able to lead the army to fight, but Li Jing didn't need Yuan Keli to help him command the war, what he wanted was Yuan Keli's strategic awareness and overall planning ability.Moreover, this person's influence in Qingliu is extraordinary. With his help, he can attract a large number of literati.Without the help of literati, Li Jing could not do many things.

"Please pay attention to shopkeeper Wang, and find out when Master Yuan will retire? When will he return home after becoming an official?" Li Jing said.

Li Jing drew the map during this time, knowing that if Yuan Keli returned to his hometown, he would go all the way to Zhengzhou, Qi County, Anyang.Li Jing thought about it, so he robbed him on the road first.But the distance from Beijing to Suizhou is long, who knows when he will arrive at the boundary of Qi County, and Yuan Keli doesn't know when he will retire, so he can't bring bandits to ambush on the road every day, right?

Therefore, Li Jing needs to know the exact time of Yuan Keli's departure as well as the departure date and itinerary, so that he can roughly estimate when Yuan Keli will arrive in Qi County.

"Okay." Shopkeeper Wang looked at Li Jing, nodded and said.

"Why did my nephew inquire about Mr. Yuan's itinerary?" Shen Zheng asked suspiciously.

"Master Yuan is a great talent in the country. I have many things to ask him for advice." Li Jing said.

Naturally, Li Jing wouldn't say what he wanted to do, but Shen Zhengding would understand what he meant.

Sure enough, Shen Zheng nodded slowly after thinking for a while.

But shopkeeper Wang was a little puzzled, and thought: "Who doesn't know that Mr. Yuan is a talent? But you, a brat, can see it just by saying it?"

Although the shopkeeper Wang was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions. The young master had never valued a person so much before, and he thought it came from his superiority.

"Come on, drink, old Wang, don't watch, just drink a few drinks with me." Seeing that this topic is not suitable for further discussion, Shen Zheng hastily raised his glass to persuade him to drink.

After drinking two cups, Shen Zheng saw that Li Jing was a little absent-minded, and he was really tired this day, so he asked shopkeeper Wang to withdraw from the banquet and go back to his room to rest.

Li Jingji was worried about the bandits under his command, fearing that they would cause some trouble if they didn't understand the rules, so he asked shopkeeper Wang to take him to the room where the bandits were resting.

When he got outside the house of the gangsters, he heard a commotion inside the house, Li Jing frowned, and gently pushed open the door, it didn't matter, it didn't make Li Jing's nose crooked.

All the gangsters were eating and drinking around a few tables, especially Chen Dahu and Liu Erlianzi, shoulder to shoulder, guessing punches and making orders, drinking so hot.

When Li Jing was in the mountains, he had already issued a ban on alcohol to all the bandits, and Li Jing was not allowed to allow it. No matter who was found drinking, he would be punished with a forty stick.Drinkers like Chen Dahu, Liu Erlianzi, etc. have already been beaten honestly. The bandits on the mountain saw that their relatives like Chen Dahu had been beaten, so how dare they drink in secret?

Now that these guys actually drank it in Shen's residence, Li Jing was furious.

Li Jing coldly swept around the room, it's not bad, Chen Erhu, Zhu Zi and those young people didn't drink, and they gestured like they were studying the skills of combat training.

"Chen Dahu, stand up for me." Li Jing shouted suddenly.

Li Jing is now very clear about when to speak foul language.You can't be polite at all to lecture these bandits, but they just accept this trick, thinking that you are proud and have the air of a boss.
