Chapter 435 Qin Liangyu Enters Beijing

Qin Liangyu looked at the tall city wall and the continuous flow of people, and felt a lot of emotions. She revisited the old place, and she couldn't help but feel emotional. A few years ago, she raised troops to the north like this, and now, she was summoned by His Majesty the Emperor to raise troops to the north again , came to this Beijing city again.

However, it is indeed very different from before. Now it is the Emperor Chongzhen. Since he ascended the throne, this emperor has done several major events, sweeping away Wei Ni; The matter of this matter, the reputation of this emperor is extremely good among the people; recently, there was news of a great victory over Donglu in Liaodong, and the whole country was excited about it. Since the founding of the country, there have been countless saints.

After reporting from the Governor's Mansion and the Ministry of War, Qin Liangyu had the leisure to enjoy the street scene of the capital. The first feeling he gave Qin Liangyu was that it had changed a lot and became a little unrecognizable.

"Mother, there are so many changes in this capital! I haven't been here for a few years, why does it seem to have changed?"

The person who spoke was Qin Liangyu and his party, who had been summoned by the emperor and had traveled thousands of miles away. After traveling for half a year, they rushed from their hometown to the capital. .

A 50-year-old lady with elegant manners, led a horse, and walked along the avenue of the capital with a lot of emotion. This Qin Liangyu had just arrived in the capital.

Hearing his son's surprised voice, he looked back and said with a gentle smile, "It's really changed a lot. Mother remembers that the outer city was not so prosperous before, but now, there are houses everywhere, and people flow everywhere, as if they have their own. Things have to be busy, it’s very different from previous years.” The outer city of Beijing gave Qin Liangyu the impression that it was a shabby and settled place, but now, tall brick houses are neatly arranged, and people on the street are coming and going In a hurry, it seems that everyone has their own things to do, but it is very different from when she came here a few years ago.

What Qin Liangyu saw was the factories that had just sprung up in Beijing today. Rows of brick buildings were the workshops of the factories. Here, so, it seems that a large area is full of this kind of generally neat big houses, which is quite shocking. The roads have also been repaired, and the main roads are paved with stones, which are far cleaner than before. It was almost noon, and it was time for lunch. People in the factory hurriedly got off work. Qin Liangyu and his party in the crowd were greatly surprised.

"Mother, it's already noon, my baby's stomach is growling with hunger, let's go eat, after dinner, let's go to the Liulizhai, which is a must in the capital, now everyone says that when we arrive in the capital, we can't eat it." Going to Liulizhai, it’s a waste of time to come to the capital, mother, the alley we lived in is not far from Liulizhai, it’s just right, I’ve seen Liulizhai and come home.” Qin Liangyu’s son Ma Xianglin yelled, now the number one restaurant in the capital The scenery is the glass wall on the street of Liulizhai. Some people say that its value is more than one million taels, so that men, women, old and young in the capital bring their families to see this rare sight that is rarely seen in a century.

Qin Liangyu smiled gracefully and said: "Okay! Mother also heard that this Liulizhai is a must-see in the capital, and I want to see how it is. It just so happens that our alley is not far from Liulizhai, so I just drop by and go too. Take a look, it's still early for lunch, after reading it, it's not too late to eat!"

Qin Liangyu was the official governor of the Ming Dynasty, and a real-time military officer. He was naturally well-informed about the movements of the court and knew what Liulizhai represented today. Most of the money used to supply the entire army to fight against the Eastern Captives was probably From here, Qin Liangyu really admired the emperor's ability to generate money.

I also remembered the 10 taels of silver given by the emperor. She had fought for the Ming Dynasty several times before, and traveled all over the country, but she had never encountered such a thing. Most of the time, she needed to prepare food and recruit soldiers by herself, even weapons. Everything was prepared by myself. This time, the emperor was very generous. He gave him 10 taels of silver as the cost of the departure, which made Qin Liangyu feel warm. On the way here, he was generous with silver. Eat some meat, and live a life of "upper class", but it made the soldiers go happily, and they all said it was worth it. It made Qin Liangyu's curiosity about the emperor not only increase, but gradually, he also reported from the mansion and other places. According to news from the road, the other two groups of people who were transferred to defend the capital were treated by the new army. It is said that they are very good. They can get three taels of silver a month. This makes Qin Liangyu even more surprised. The emperor of the Zhu family Although he has always treated himself well, it is really incredible to be able to pay such a high military salary.

"Mother, mother..." A young woman behind Qin Liangyu stepped forward and shouted, interrupting Qin Liangyu's thoughts.

"Feng'er, what's the matter?" Qin Liangyu asked gently, the person who asked the question was none other than Qin Liangyu's daughter-in-law Zhang Fengyi.

"...Mom, look quickly, look quickly! It's so beautiful!" Zhang Fengyi cried out in surprise, pointing to Qin Liangyu repeatedly.

Qin Liangyu looked over from afar and was also taken aback!I heard from the mansion newspaper that Liulizhai is a street made of glass, but when I got to the actual place and saw the real scene, I was shocked!It was originally an inconspicuous small alley, but now it has become a fairly open street. The original houses have been pushed down and turned into an open square. The square is paved with granite and floor tiles. The glass street facing the square, the entire bright glass wall is dazzling, no wonder it is called the first scene of the capital.

"Mother! I have to buy Feng'er a big mirror for a while. Mother agrees..." Zhang Fengyi can't wait to go to Liulizhai immediately to take back the things she likes.

Qin Liangyu looked at his daughter-in-law's appearance, and smiled slightly, women love beauty, that's nothing to say.

On the street, four-wheeled carriages came and went, passing by Qin Liangyu and his party from time to time, which made Qin Liangyu feel more "strange". The changes in the capital are really too great.

This group of people led the horses, wore long swords, and waist knives. The group of people obviously had a "slaying spirit", and they were leading troops in battle at first glance. However, the leader was an old woman with a generous and elegant manner. This somewhat strange team, in fact, is no stranger to them in Beijing.

Shen Fuyuan is now the Jinyiwei Qianhu who is in charge of guarding the Liulizhai. Naturally, he is very concerned about the safety of the Liulizhai. Now, with the expansion of the Liulizhai, he is in charge of the entire Liulichang. This Liulichang People coming and going all day long is a must-go place for people from all over the world after entering Beijing, and there are many people there. Therefore, paying close attention to the safety of Liulichang has become Shen Fuyuan's top priority, and many people have been arranged in Liulichang. Specifically monitor the situation.

I heard a special group of people coming from the street. This group of people, with their murderous aura, looked like they had been on the battlefield and fought tough battles.The leader was a woman in her 50s, and there was a one-eyed dragon among them. This special group of people immediately attracted Shen Fuyuan's attention.

"Really?" After hearing the report from his subordinates, Shen Fuyuan understood who it was after a little thought.

"My lord, I can't go wrong with this decision. Those passers-by are all armed with swords, bloody, and murderous. If it weren't for the midday sun when the sun was shining, the little one would have thought it was an evil spirit from hell rushing out. Well, the leading lady in her 50s is dignified, and she is a good person at first glance, otherwise, she will scare the little one to death." Shen Fuyuan's subordinates said emphatically.

"Okay, I got it, look at your little face, you're useless, that's the signature of my commander-in-chief, Mrs. Qin, the commander-in-chief, not some evil ghost, what are you talking about..., that's the one transferred by His Majesty to defend the capital , without going through battles, without seeing blood, can you get into His Majesty's eyes? Go, go, go, tell the brothers to greet you well, don't cause conflicts, and even better entertain them. In addition, report to the big shopkeeper... "Shen Fuyuan is the hereditary Chief Qian, and he is the clearest about the affairs in the capital. A few years ago, this old Mrs. Qin, a heroine, was famous in the capital, so when she heard that she was the leader, Moreover, she was a majestic old woman in her 50s, and she immediately understood that this was the arrival of soldiers and horses dispatched by the emperor. As an imperial party, people who treat the emperor naturally cannot be ignored.

Qin Liangyu and his party led their horses and took up half of the street, but no one came out to interfere.If it were someone else, Shen Fuyuan's people would definitely come out to "maintain order".

Shen Fuyuan didn't shy away from it, and walked directly in front of Qin Liangyu and his party, bowed respectfully, and said: "Shen Fuyuan, if you dare to ask, it's the governor of Qin, Mrs. Qin?"

Qin Liangyu looked at the young man in front of him in surprise, and said, "Dare to ask?"

"In Shen Fuyuan, I met Mrs. Qin." Shen Fuyuan has already confirmed that this is Mrs. Qin. He had met Qin Liangyu when he was still a family member, but he knew Qin Liangyu, but Qin Liangyu didn't know him.

"Oh! It's a pleasure to meet you! I'm so polite." Qin Liangyu said elegantly and generously. She is a real-time officer-in-chief. Naturally, she is well-informed about the news of the imperial court. As for this young man in the capital who takes care of the emperor's huge wealth, I have heard of it. It was reflected.

"Your Majesty has arrived in the capital! Your Majesty has been looking forward to it for many days..." Shen Fuyuan consciously said that this was not suitable for his identity, and then said instead: "...The governor wants to go to Liulizhai, how about letting me lead the way? "

Qin Liangyu smiled, did not refuse, and said: "Then there will be Lord Lao Shen."

Lord Shen?Shen Fuyuan felt that he hadn't heard others call him Mr. Shen for a long time, and he almost forgot that he was still a thousand households of Jinyiwei, but he preferred this identity, the official is not an official, the people are not people, even if the minister sees him, he has to give With a smiling face, he is a celebrity around the emperor, and he looks after tens of millions of taels of property for the emperor, which is much better than his status as a thousand households.

"Don't dare, dare not, my lord, I will kill you... I remember that the governor also lived outside Xuanwumen before, now, let's live there." Shen Fuyuan said.

"Exactly, now that His Majesty has summoned him, he is still stationed outside the Xuanwu Gate, just like before." Qin Liangyu said with a smile, giving off a very calm and generous feeling.

"Hehe, Commander, Liulichang is much more prosperous now than before." Shen Fuyuan said.

Qin Liangyu was originally curious about the huge changes in the capital. Hearing Shen Fuyuan talk about the prosperity of the capital, he felt that this Shen Fuyuan might be able to explain his doubts. Why did the changes change so much in just a few years?In other words, it has only been a year, and the changes have been so great. At least before the current Holy Majesty ascended the throne, this area was still the same as it was before, a stinking ditch and mud puddles.

"Lord Shen, I'm curious, why is there such a big change in this capital? I saw the rows of big brick houses in the outer city, which were built with great momentum. Whose masterpiece is it? What's the use? There seem to be a lot of people, can Mr. Shen help me out?" Qin Liangyu asked with a smile, this question has been lingering in Qin Liangyu's mind, all she knows is that His Majesty the Emperor donated 1000 million taels of silver to relieve the disaster and issued millions of taels of silver Hearing, and even fighting against the Eastern Captives outside the customs, the money spent was counted in seas, but he didn't know that so many new things suddenly appeared in the capital, and Qin Liangyu's impression of the emperor and the capital became more and more impressive. It became more and more blurred, and when he arrived in the capital, Qin Liangyu felt that the capital was very strange when he saw this completely new scene.

"Captain, this is all thanks to His Majesty. Today's disasters continue, there is no harvest in the fields, and countless people are displaced. They have no home and no way to make a living. Your Majesty does not want to see these people displaced. Therefore, many factories have been built today. The people are looking for a place to make a living, so that the people will not be displaced... The big brick houses that the governor has seen before are the factories built by His Majesty, including glass factories, garment factories, quilt factories, spinning factories, and carriages factories, etc., and some of them are places set up by the military bureau..." Shen Fuyuan explained.

After Qin Liangyu heard this, the doubts in his heart were relieved a little, and he nodded silently.

"No wonder, mother, I don't see beggars very often when I'm near the capital, so that's why! Your Majesty is really a saint, so amazing!..." Zhang Fengyi suddenly realized.

Qin Liangyu also smiled when he heard this, no wonder, this capital is so strange. In the past, this capital, especially the outer city and outside the city, when there was a famine, there were many people fleeing famine and begging for food, but this year, although it was a place of great famine. In [-], there were obviously very few beggars, and the people fleeing famine were not as sad as before. That is to say, these factories played a great role.

"Your Majesty is really benevolent, and the people of the world are blessed." Qin Liangyu said calmly, and after finishing speaking, he asked again: "Master Shen, I want to ask, is that garment factory a place to make clothes for 80 frontier troops? "Qin Liangyu suddenly asked, the weather is getting colder, and the problem of winter has already been put on the table. Although judging from the current situation, the treatment he will receive in Beijing this time will not be low, but he has never met the emperor. Hanging, in case the emperor doesn't give her the treatment of the new army, and it is still the same as before, she will have to prepare winter clothes for her soldiers. At that time, she may need thousands of sets of cotton clothes, quilts and other things , if possible, you can buy some through acquaintances. If it is cheaper, you can be more frugal with the money on hand.

"Hehehe..., I shouldn't have said this, but since the governor asked, I will say it... The governor can rest assured that your majesty has always treated people generously. The governor traveled thousands of miles to defend the capital. Where will your majesty be Let you suffer from cold and starvation? Hehehe, the 80 sets of cotton-padded clothes are not only for the frontier army, but also for the Beijing camp. They started to be transported to the border a month ago. The governor, like the mandudu, will definitely enter His Majesty's new The army will definitely be treated like the new army, cotton clothes, food, garrison, salary, etc., the governor does not have to worry at all..., His Majesty will arrange it properly... Hehe, the new army is good at everything, but the training is tiring, the governor, These words, which I shouldn't have said, have gone beyond, hehe, don't be offended by the governor, and look at Haihan..." Shen Fuyuan said with a smile.

"Then I would like to thank Master Shen." Qin Liangyu felt relieved after hearing Shen Fuyuan's words. What the emperor's confidants said should not be false. The current emperor is indeed different from the previous Zhu family emperor, and this capital city is also true It's changed, it's not the same as before.

Shen Fuyuan smiled and cupped his hands. He really shouldn't have said these things, but this Qin Liangyu is with him, but since the Emperor Party values ​​her so much, it doesn't matter if he says something himself.

"The Liulichang Street that the governor sees now is the absurdly rumored Glass Street by outsiders. It used to be just a small alley and a muddy road, but now it is paved with gravel. That spacious place is the former Liulichang. , and now, they are all taken away by my big shopkeeper, and we are going to build a bigger square, all paved with stone..." Shen Fuyuan personally led the way, and introduced the situation of Liulichang as he walked.

"This Liulichang is really well-deserved of its reputation! Such a long street is covered with glass walls. It is really unique in the world. I am surprised when I see it!" The more he looked at this Liulichang, the more at ease Qin Liangyu felt. The more powerful, the better, the more it shows that the emperor has money, and the emperor has money, at least this year's winter coats do not need to be squeezed out by themselves, and the hand is much more spacious.

"The governor's praise!" Shen Fuyuan was very proud, and he was also responsible for this.

"...That, that Master Shen, your shopkeeper is that..." Zhang Fengyi asked suddenly.The shopkeeper of Liulizhai is a woman, which is another reason why the legend of Liulizhai has endured for a long time.

"Feng'er!" Qin Liangyu reminded her daughter-in-law with a smile when she saw her daughter-in-law asking about the emperor's private affairs.

"Hehe, it's okay, Dudu, you are your own person, and the matter of my family's big shopkeeper is not something shameful. To be honest, can ordinary people do such a big business in this capital? My family's big shopkeeper The shopkeeper controls Liulizhai for His Majesty, so His Majesty naturally trusts my big shopkeeper." Shen Fuyuan didn't shy away from these things in front of Qin Liangyu.

My own?Qin Liangyu murmured in her heart that many things in the capital had changed, and she did not recognize them anymore. Maybe some things hadn't changed. The water in the capital was very deep, and the wind was blowing chaotically.Although there is some melancholy in my heart, I don't show it, and I am still very elegant.

"Really? Then Miss Sun is really a hero among girls! Mother, let's go visit Miss Sun, Feng'er really wants to meet this heroine!" Zhang Fengyi admires Sun Liniang so much, a woman can be in charge Thousands of silver, how did this happen?
"Feng'er..." Qin Liangyu said still elegantly.

"Hehehe, old lady, it's okay, my shopkeeper also admires the governor very much, and I really want to see the old lady, I have always admired the old lady as a heroine, a hero among women..." Shen Fuyuan said.

……

In the Forbidden City.

"What? Qin Liangyu has arrived? That's great! I'll call you right away!" Qin Liangyu, who had been waiting for more than half a year, finally arrived. Yang Reform was overjoyed. He mobilized the best elites from all over the world to defend the capital. In your hands, what else is there to be afraid of?With this year's record, he is no longer afraid of the military threat to him from within the Ming Dynasty.
