Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 780: The thorn in the heart
Here again, this kind of large-scale package is simply a big pie. Zhou Sheng secretly wondered what currency reforms Jinxia City had done before and issued banknotes by himself. He knew that there was a financial problem with the rebel army.
When the affairs bureau set up a school so that all the children in the city were enrolled in school, he realized that there would be such a day sooner or later. A large amount of Yancheng's income comes from the salt industry, but now Jinxia has been regarded by the court as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. Naturally, it is impossible to obtain a large amount of salt from Gyeonggi as before. Expenses are far greater than income, and it is only strange that the internal library is not becoming increasingly nervous.
In order to prevent the public from noticing the Princess Quang Binh, they naturally have to come up with new big moves.
The prosperity that Jinxia City currently exhibits is actually built on the crumbling attic. Even if he can't see the accounts of the bureau, he can guess that the current government must be in debt.
Unfortunately, small places are small places after all, and not many people can see this clearly.
"How about, Brother Zhou, do you want to try it? I can recommend you." Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, the other party continued to persuade him.
"...Why don’t you understand, Brother Chen?" Zhou Sheng said impatiently. It consumes the foundation laid by the court before. To become a country, it is not enough to have an army alone. Without the support of scholars and family sects, it cannot be regarded as a true foothold. Now I ask you, except for Shenzhou. Outside the city, do other cities and towns come to the princess' side?"
Master Chen is dumb.
Even if the other party did not answer, Zhou Sheng knew that of course not. Regarding this set of policies promulgated by Her Royal Highness, it is strange to get the support of gentry from other places.
"But... Jinxia City won the Ten States Allied Forces..."
"The Allied Forces of Ten States are only the power of Qiguo." Zhou Sheng shook his head. When he went to Gyeonggi before, he had already seen that a powerful force was already unifying the countries of the mainland. "If you listen to my advice, you'd better resign from the bureau and stay at home honestly."
"Brother Zhou"
Without waiting for Chen Qiran to finish, he picked up the teacup on the table.
This is already meant to see off guests.
The latter can only swallow the words into his mouth, staring at him for a while and then arching his hands helplessly, "If you change your mind, you can come to me anytime."
"It's easy to leave." Zhou Sheng hummed softly.
"That's right." When he walked to the door, Young Master Chen suddenly turned around, "Did you know? Miss Liu is going to marry."
"What did you say!?" His fingers quivered, and he almost knocked the cup to the ground.
"The person who married her is also an official in the bureau. I heard that her background and background are quite good."
"She is just a woman in the Spring Tower, how could anyone be" Zhou Sheng gritted his teeth.
"That's what happened before." Chen Qiran's tone was slightly emotional, "Now Miss Liu is already a well-known figure in the Ministry of Education, and half of the students who come out of the school have been taught by her. One more time. In a few years, maybe she will be promoted directly to an official of the Ministry of Education. In the past, she was at least a sixth-grade assistant official. How could such a person be a concubine?"
"..." Zhou Sheng only felt that a fire was burning in his heart.
He thought he would have left this person behind, even if he occasionally noticed her, it would be a condescending look down on how miserable her life was.
When the rebels disintegrate and everything in Jinxia City returns to normal, she will naturally understand how stupid it is to reject herself.
However, when he found that things were contrary to his wishes, the name pierced his heart like an awl.
"At that time, Mr. Hu and I are going to celebrate, which is considered to be separate from the previous absurdity." Chen Qiran touched the back of his head, "Anyway...I think I should tell you about this, even if you don't want to. Go, we can also celebrate on our behalf. Then... I'll leave first."
The gate of the compound was closed, and the house returned to silence.
Zhou Sheng dui sat at the table, losing his drink.
Liu Ruyan is actually going to marry, and the way the Ming media is marrying, the target is also said to be in the lower ranks, this situation is completely beyond the scope of his acceptance.
What's even more unreasonable is that Young Master Chen and the others actually recognized this situation, and didn't think it was so ridiculous to let a brothel woman ascend the position of wife, or even the position of official of the bureau.
The sixth grade official...
Even if he ranks among the top three in the palace exam, the starting point is the sixth rank.
Then he has been studying hard for so many years, isn't it a joke?
Of course, reading is definitely not a mistake. What's wrong is that these insurgents treat the regime as a trifle!
After a while, Zhou Sheng clenched his fists and made up his mind.
He pulled out paper, pen and ink cartridges from a mess, and began to write letters like this. He had written many letters. At first, secret agents from the Privy Council would specifically connect with him. Later, the Allied Forces of Ten States failed miserably. I entrusted a caravan to be sent to Gyeonggi without interruption every month.
These letters are all the information he collected, such as where the Jinxia Army is stationed, and what weird things the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering has made, but unfortunately all the secret letters have fallen into the sea, and he has never received a reply.
Until recently, Zhou Sheng has also become frustrated, burying himself in a wine bottle all day to suppress his fear of exposure.
But the news from Young Master Chen cheered him up again.
After writing the letter, Zhou Sheng folded it carefully, stuffed it into the envelope, and then walked out of the compound. This time, he did not carry a hip flask.
……
Two weeks later.
In a private house in Jinxia West District, Zhou Sheng is making the final preparations~IndoMTL.com~He has obviously lost a lot of weight this time, his clothes are no longer as neat and clean as before, and there are layers of beards on his face. Scum.
After the house was sold, he got a large amount of cash. Originally, he planned to rent a smaller house with the money, and send the rest to his parents, not taking up his responsibilities, nor the Zhou family. But now, money has more important uses.
"My son, the carriage is ready." A servant rubbed his hands and said.
The quality of these helpers hired from surrounding towns is far lower than that of his own servants, but now he has no better choice. Zhou Sheng quietly raised the curtains and looked out with his probe. It was already the third watch, and according to Jinxia's new timing method, it was one o'clock in the morning. It stands to reason that most people fall asleep early at this time and the city will be shrouded in darkness. However, even in the middle of the night in Jinxia City, some firelights can still be seen in the direction of the yard area and the harbor. He heard that the sea fishing of the elves will continue into the evening. In order to ensure the freshness of the food, part of the fish will be slaughtered after midnight, and those merchants who are looking for the best products will also gather in the harbor and the warehouse for the first time. Your favorite goods.
Thanks to this group of people, even if he drives the carriage on the way in the early morning, he will not attract the attention of the surrounding residents.
"Very well, let me go." Zhou Sheng said solemnly.
