Return to Ming Dynasty as Prince Chapter 125: Inspected and unannounced visits

Gao Wenxin saw him move. I couldn't help being angry and annoyed, and for a while, she slapped her slap, and there was a crisp sound, even she herself was stunned. Yang Ling opened her mouth wide, turned her head and stared at her for a long time. Gao Wenxin came to her senses. She hurriedly knelt on the ground and said, "The maidservant behaved rudely, please punish him!"

Don't say that she is just a maidservant of Yang Ling, even his wife and concubine, no matter how intimacy she is with her husband, there is no reason to spank him, that is a great disrespect. When Gao Wenxin was helping people to see a doctor, I heard that a enumerate man master divorced his wife. He charged that his wife was innocent. In fact, he was a little forgetful when he had a good relationship with her husband. He was regarded as disrespectful by the enumerate man master, and the wife was embarrassed and committed suicide.

Yang Ling does not have the consciousness that such a big man should have, but she was taken aback by her sudden behavior. At this moment, her horrified lips were white, and she couldn't help it, so she smiled and said: "It's me No, suddenly getting up caught you off guard, well—the next time you massage, you just need to use a lighter technique."

Gao Wenxin saw that he was never angry at all, and she pushed herself to say that she was massaging. Then she felt relieved. She stood up coyly and then gave him the needle. When she opened her underwear, she showed her arms at the end. The needle was applied to the vertebral area, and when he saw a piece of red on his arm mound, Gao Wenxin couldn't help but spit out his tongue, intentionally or unintentionally, gently rubbed him with the back of his palm a few times. The skin of the jade hand was smooth, and he felt extremely touched Comfortable, it makes Yang Ling a little proud.

As soon as Yang Ling finished the acupuncture and moxibustion, he immediately got up and said: "The maid servants in the mansion are all father-in-law. It is not suitable for me to handle official duties. It is enough to have you by my side, no need Another person serves, this small building must be completely under the control of our people, you ask Zheng Baihu to take over with the fans, let all the people of Mofu leave, and then call Liu Biao to see me."

Gao Wenxin saw that he looked solemn, and he really had business to do. Not daring to stop any more, I hurriedly responded. After Gao Wenxin went out for a cup of tea, the fans began to stay out of the building and drove all the maids and servants out of this independent small building. The outside was full of guards brought by the inner factory, and then as soon as the door opened, a person dressed as an ordinary person sneaked in.

Yang Ling sat at the table, just filled two cups of tea, after this tossing. His drinking spirit has awakened a bit, and his eyes have regained clarity. Seeing Liu Biao coming in, he waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, come, sit down and talk back!"

Liu Biao arched his hands and said: "Yes, I have seen the factory supervisor." He approached and gently sat down on the opposite side. He suddenly saw Yang Ling in the past few months, and his expression was a little pleased.

Yang Ling pushed a cup of tea and said: "Yagi Qianhu has been working hard these days. How is the news I asked you to find out?"

Liu Biao said: "My lord, take a humble job at Jiangnan, and immediately cast a detective net, pretending to bring people as lanemen and tourists looking around for news. The three guard eunuchs have controlled the Jiangnan tax for many years. Although the forces are everywhere, they can also Therefore, there is no way to hide what they did."

When he said this, he was obviously very proud of his achievements, so he looked somewhat self-conscious. He took a drink and moistened his throat, then took out a small notebook from his arms and handed it over with both hands: "My lord, all the things checked by the humble job are written down here.

Let me first talk about Yuan Xiong, the customs guard and the supervising army of the Longshan Health Institute. Yuan Xiong's position specializes in setting up cards to collect taxes on water and land transportation lines in important towns and passes. For example, on the canal line, he set up tax envoys to intercept taxes every forty miles. One boat sailed for three to four hundred miles. At least five or six taxes were required. Some of the smaller local shops were overwhelmed. Many shops and grocery stores have closed down. "

Yang Ling frowned: "The taxation is too heavy, and the short-term profit is quite good, but it belongs to the fishing industry and suppresses the development of industry and commerce. In the long run, it is greatly detrimental to the country and the people. Yuan Xiong The establishment of a tax card in Shili obviously exceeded the conditions set by the court.

However, these measures must have been approved by the Superintendent and cannot be used as a means to sanction him. Moreover, the reason why the in-house factory develops so rapidly is because of these illegal and legal exorbitant taxes. There is a big market, and to accomplish one's more ambitious goals, temporary sacrifices are necessary. "

He pondered for a long time, then secretly calculated for a while before saying: "Well, the governor has already written down this matter. Does he have other illegal acts for impeachment?"

Liu Biao smiled slightly, as if he knew this crime was not enough to cure Yuan Xiong, he said with confidence: "Yes, I sent someone to dress up as a hawker selling alcohol and food, and I taught with the officers and soldiers of the Longshan Guards Station and listened to them. After complaining, only 40% of the military salary issued by the Ministry of Husbandry could fall into their hands, and all of them were greeted by officials such as Yuan Jianjun and Weishao.

Furthermore, all the officers and soldiers of the health station originally had their own land. Over the years, they have been looted by local tycoons and generals using methods such as buying and selling, so that many officers and soldiers had to flee for their families.

The Longshan Guard Station should have 6,500 troops. At present, there are only 2,800 officers and soldiers, most of them are old, weak, sick, and disabled. They are all eaten up with empty salaries. As for the ordnance, they are even more pitiful, many The warship has long been out of service, and the fishing boats are temporarily requisitioned to replenish the number when there is an official inspection. When the Japanese pirates attacked, they could only flee from the wind, and the coastal defense line of thousands of miles was almost useless. "

Yang Ling was furious at hearing it, and slammed on the table and said: "I didn't expect the internal army affairs to be so wasteful. No wonder I heard when I was in the capital, that even hundreds of Japanese pirates could come ashore, as if they were in an uninhabited state, and harassed everywhere. ……"

When he said here, he suddenly remembered something, and said strangely: "But... when I was in Jiming County, the Japanese pirates attacked. The surrendered southern soldiers are well-equipped and well equipped. It seems...Liu Biao, you are sure to inquire. Is the message correct?"

Liu Biao said strangely: "The humble job investigation is very careful and there is no error. Since there is no threat from a powerful enemy like the Tarzi in the south, the Japanese pirates went ashore and looted and left. They did not dare to stand for a long time, so they were prepared. It has always been abolished. Who is the commander of the Southern Army transferred from the North?"

Yang Ling said: "Uh...I don't know whose army they belong to, but the leader of the army I remember is named Bi Chun."

Liu Biao laughed aloud and said: "My lord, the commander of the Longshan Guard Station is Bi Chun. In fact, the troops transferred from the South to the North, in order to prevent the imperial court from seeing the flaws, the troops are usually drawn from various guards. The elite is full of numbers, because this matter is good for the guards in all parts of the Jiangnan. So all the generals are very supportive. The Bi Chun army seen by the adults must be the strongest combat power put together by several guards."

Yang Ling stunned after hearing it for a long time, and then bitterly said: "Good means, I can still bear with other things for a while. They destroy the Great Wall by themselves, but this is unbearable. I will use him first to kill chickens and monkeys. Let all the coastal health stations converge, and you continue to collect their information, and the greeting instrument should not be stunned."

Liu Biao said with great enthusiasm: "Humble duty, this second place, let’s talk about the weaving tax superintendent Li Daxiang, the division of labor in Suzhou-Hangzhou silk weaving industry is extremely strict, and there are specialized workers, yarn workers, satin workers, weavers, etc. Craftsmen, wealthy businessmen who set up weaving workshops also hire a large number of female workers who are responsible for threading, dyeing, changing machines, and picking flowers.

Li Daxiang is not too arrogant, but Suzhou-Hangzhou weaving is famous all over the world, and its benefits are great. He secretly made his cronies impersonate a businessman. The rich people in Suzhou and Hangzhou dared not say anything when they used their power to buy at low prices and profited from it.

For example, most people in Songjiang Prefecture use weaving as a sideline. Every day becomes one horse, the cloth produced by thousands of people is used up every day, and the people in Jiashan area live by spinning. The output is even greater. There is a saying here, "You can't buy Songjiang cloth, you can't collect Weitang yarn." All of these fabrics and yarns are bought by him at a low price, and then resold in the Quartet. He can get huge profits from it, so he naturally does not need to do like Yuan Xiong. It's annoying.

Furthermore, mulberry and silkworms are grown in Huzhou. Most people in Shandong Henan grow cotton, and Suzhou-Hangzhou weaving needs to import a large amount of raw materials from these places. Because Yuan Xiong is in charge of tariffs and obstructing the delivery of these things, it is not good for him to make a fortune, so he and Li Daxiang have a deep conflict. "

Yang Ling nodded secretly. In fact, centralized procurement, operation, and sales have their own advantages. If Li Daxiang is not exploiting too much and can leave a way for the people to stay alive, you don't have to worry about this matter at this time.

After all, although I am in charge of the tax supervisory department, I cannot personally sit all over the world. In the end I have to rely on * these people to work for him. If the court is not perfect in terms of the legal system and system, it may not be possible to replace a group of people Cleaner than them. Wanting to make a clean name for an official is not something that can be done overnight, even if there is no such authority, and with such huge profits, is there no corrupt official after a group of officials?

Yang Ling thought of this and nodded and said: "Well, although this person is greedy for ink, his heart is not too dark, he is a person who can win over. By the way, what about this father-in-law?"

Liu Biao laughed and said: "Among the three guarding eunuchs, the most famous place is this father-in-law. The Jiangnan field tax is paid in two pieces of silver. At the beginning of the founding of the dynasty, it was stipulated that rice, wheat, four stones, and one pair of silver. Afterwards, the discount rate changed drastically, and one or two silver was levied for a stone of rice. Farmers here are taxed three times.

The common people said that one acre of official land should be harvested in seven buckets. First, send six buckets to Huangzhou. Only one bucket will be left for the wedding year. Worry is that people will come back. It can be seen that the tax is heavy, if it is not Jiangnan wealthy, Yumi With a bumper harvest, the people couldn't live any longer.

Because the people have to transport the grain out and sell it into silver in order to pay the tax, there is a loss in the middle, and Yuan Xiong is constantly drawing taxes. They shipped out five buckets, and they can get back three buckets of money even if it is pretty good. Up.

After Mo Gonggong guarded the Jiangnan, every autumn harvest was 10%, he sent someone to take the official ship to take the initiative to buy it. Although it was slightly lower than the market price, the people's profit was still greater than the self-delivery and sale, so they were willing to sell. Give it to him, so the famous place of father-in-law Mo is very good, Jiangnan people call it a good person. "

On Yang Ling, I saw Mo Gonggong boldly on the boat, and even the tribute tea presented to the emperor dared to drop the bag, only if he was a castrate who was not afraid of death in the eyes of money, but he did not expect to have such a good deed, I couldn't help wondering:" That said, he is an upright official?"

Liu Biao hehe laughed and said: "It's not a good official. After all, he has to profit from it. Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice. If he makes a little bit of food for every stone, it will be a golden mountain. But after all, the people have also benefited. These people don’t care if you are greedy or not, as long as you can take care of the people when you touch them, they will be grateful."

"What's more... Father Mo is extremely strict with regard to tea, spices, medicines, salt and other high-priced and low-volume items. As for civilian labor, the conversion of silver is also extremely rich. Only three people Among them, Father Mo is considered the most generous. If in disaster years, he would often cook porridge on his tongue. He has lived many lives, so he has a very good reputation."

Yang Ling stood up and walked slowly in the room for a few steps. After a long time of contemplation, he said decisively: "Okay, you will leave tomorrow morning and transfer your endurance to Yuan Xiong, focusing on investigating him. As for myself... Haha, this lord’s Jiangnan trip is only responsible for traveling around the mountains and water. Others are not responsible. I will go to Lion Village to enjoy tea tomorrow."

Liu Biao, as the confidant of Yang Ling, knew his plan long ago and stood up after hearing the words: "My lord, is this going to fight Yuan, pull Li and Mo?"

Yang Ling smiled and said: "Hehe, there is no way to kill them all. By then, all the guarding eunuchs in the world have piled up stalls, and the court has no money to use. Wouldn't it be that the tax supervision department was pushed back? The director of ceremonies went?"

Although he said so, Mo Qinghe's replacement of tribute tea is still in his mind, so he wants to visit the Lion Mountain in Longjing Village tomorrow for himself. Naturally, there is no good tea at this time. He went to check here. First, he wanted to relieve the three guarding eunuchs, thinking that he was just responding to the situation and had no intention of handling people. Secondly, I also wanted to play side by side and explore Mo Qinghe's mouth.

Liu Biao responded with a smile, and was about to turn around to exit. Yang Ling suddenly remembered the strange thing that he had just seen, and called him hurriedly, and asked, "Liu Biao, there is something I want to ask you, our Great Ming eunuch... Can I marry a wife?"

Liu Biao was stunned. He secretly investigated the three guarding eunuchs and knew their family affairs well, so he suddenly smiled and said: "Is your sir, have you seen Mr. Mo's wife?"

Yang Ling said in amazement: "You know? Don't you know... Grandpa Mo is a monk from the Dao...Ah! He entered the palace halfway after he got married?"

Liu Biao laughed and said: "The adults have misunderstood. In fact, it is not uncommon for the eunuchs and maids in the palace to marry couples, but they are not called husbands and wives, but are called "foodies" and "caihu". , There are also people of the same sex, this matter has been in ancient times. The Hongwu emperor of this dynasty once banned it for a while, and then left it alone. Now even if the emperor and the queen heard about it, they would not interfere.

The father-in-law in those places is powerful and powerful. Not only will they marry a wife and adopt a child, but the wife is often a good girl from the official family. The lady of the father-in-law is born in the dust. I heard that she used to be Jiangnan'Chun Yu Lou's first prostitute. "

Yang Ling thought of the beauty of that beauty, and couldn’t help but smile: “I’m talking, I was shocked when I saw her today, and said that father-in-law Mo is the wife before entering the palace, otherwise how dare he be so bold Openly marry a wife as an eunuch."

He said that he thought of the various styles of the Jiangnan woman, but he married an eunuch, and he couldn't help shaking his head and sighing, deeply sorry.

Liu Biao said: "My lord, don't think they are fake phoenixes and phoenixes. These **** couples are more affectionate than ordinary people. The vegetable households in the palace often love each other once they are in love. Unchanging, if there are occasional eunuchs or court ladies empathizing with each other, the other party often feels unhappy, and even hangs himself as a result. This is not uncommon in Misin Palace.

If most of them die, the other party will no longer match each other for life. They provide the other's spiritual position in their own room. They often mourn and cry on the day of death. Their feelings... are beyond our ordinary understanding. But if you marry a wife outside the palace, you can still be as loving as one, I don’t know about the humble position. "

Yang Ling does have a bit of contempt for eunuchs taking their wives. After listening to Liu Biao, it saves those people who can no longer be called men physically, but psychologically they want to live a normal life more than ordinary men. , Speaking of it is really sympathetic.

Yang Ling laughed out loudly and said: "Listening to the king's words is better than reading ten years. The officer has been taught. As long as you love me, we really should not make irresponsible remarks just because he is an eunuch."

On the second day, local officials and local gentry came to visit the imperial officials one by one, especially those officials and gentry who were not qualified to serve Yang Qincha yesterday.

Naturally, all those who come to visit will not come empty-handed, or silver bills, or jewelry, calligraphy and painting, or local products, precious medicinal materials, etc., Yang Ling deliberately pretends to be a greedy and profitable person who does nothing Image, so the comers are not rejected.

Gao Wenxin doesn't know where she is. She doesn't like her husband being so cheap, and she feels angry and hard to vent. So even though the Yang Ling messenger was asked to sit there as Mr. Tent, he ignored the gift-giver.

Fortunately, those people had inquired that Yang Ling had only brought such a beautiful maid, and heard that she often sneaked into the imperial house every night, who would dare to treat her as a maid? No one dared to offend her.

Jiangnan is the wealthiest place in the world. How can those rich and powerful families visit the factory supervisors who are full of power and give ordinary gifts? Although I dare not say it is a rare and precious treasure, the things I give are extremely valuable.

Gao Wenxin was writing items, suddenly Fanzi led a big salt merchant. This person actually sent four beauties, two Koreans and two Dongying people. Although the appearance of the four women is not as beautiful as Gao Wenxin, they can stop there. The exotic atmosphere is indeed fresh.

Gao Wenxin is really hot. She rushed into the living room with a writing brush. Yang Ling had just sent away a tea merchant. Seeing her swollen and charming appearance with a writing brush, she couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter? Who makes you angry again?"

Gao Wenxin said sourly: "The maidservant has received all the gifts from others in the barn. Now there are four living creatures sent by the maidservant, and the maidservant is not sure if it should be put on the master’s bed. ."

Yang Ling rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Send it to my bed? Haha, but did someone bring a beautiful woman? Walk around and take a look."

He also said that someone had sent him Jiangnan beauties, and when he went out, he found that they were four foreign women. The man with a small baggage on his waist naturally identified as an Oriental, and he was startled.

The big salt merchant was waiting for the imperial commissioner to summon him. He saw four fans come out surrounded by a young man with a brocade robe and jade belt. The beauty who kept the account followed behind with a woolen cloth, her lips pouted. I can hang up a gas nozzle, knowing that this person in front is the imperial commissioner, and he can't help but kneel down with a flattering smile: "Caomin Du Ce pays respect to the imperial commissioner."

Yang Ling said: "This official is going to Jiangnan, just to inspect the local tax situation. I don't want to work with local gentry and celebrities. Mr. Du has come to visit during his busy schedule. I don't dare to be ashamed."

The big salt merchant Du Ce smiled and said: "Where, the Caomin is fortunate to see the adults. That is the blessing of the Caomin, uh... The Caomin heard that the adult is a servant and doesn't even have a maid around him, so he bought it specially. Four maidservants were sent to live with the adults, please accept them."

Gao Wenxin coughed twice, and Yang Ling laughed secretly. He didn't want Jiangnan to get a bunch of beauties back next time and turn his home into a Daguanyuan. Yang Ling was about to say a word to decline, and only heard a big voice and smiled: "So Boss Du is here too? He runs faster than me, hahaha, you should also give some superb products to the beauty. I want to see someone at the beginning. The pitiful world is secretive to Mrs. Yang, but Mrs. Yang still refuses again and again. Why do you like these women?"

While talking, I saw a civil servant with a big beard and a belt in his hands and strode on his belly. Yang Ling raised his eyes and saw that it was the magistrate who killed the Tatar prince with a single knife. Min Wenjian quickly grabbed the first two steps, holding his hand and exclaiming with joy: "Master Min, I haven't seen you for a few months, but I want to die."

Min Wenjian is still as rough as it used to be, but his belly is bigger. He hurriedly broke away, kneeled and saluted: "I have seen you Min Wenjian..."

Yang Ling helped him up, and blamed: "My Lord Min, here is Jiangnan. Look at your narrative. How come you have to pay attention to these red tapes? If you don’t have the kindness of an adult, how can it be? Today, you can stop being so polite."

Min Wenjian stood up and laughed and said: "The etiquette that should be talked about is always to be talked about, haha, since the adults have gone to the capital, there are often anecdotes that spread to Jiangnan. Min is sometimes worried and joyful when he heard it. In the next event, I want to transfer the adults to Jiangnan. This is not good. The adults are here, but Min can't be moved, hahaha..."

The salt merchant Du Ce stepped forward and laughed and said: "The salt transporter had an old relationship with the imperial adult, and was disrespectful and disrespectful."

Min Wenjian glanced at him with a pair of mung bean eyes and smiled: "What? Do you feel awe-inspiring to the official?" He glanced at the four exotic beauties and said, "Don't call them You are here, you are also a sleek and exquisite figure. Haven't you heard of the concubine being given by the son today? What vision is that Mr. Yang? How can these yellow-haired girls look like adults?"

Yang Ling laughed and said: "Master Min, you have only been in Jiangnan for a few months, but now you are exporting in a chapter, which is really impressive."

Hand-printed novels, hand-printed novels, text-based novels,

Min Wenjian listened and laughed and said: "There is no way, no way, all day I heard them say these words, my ears are cocooned, how can I remember a few sentences."

Yang Ling let the two of them into the living room while chatting and laughing with him, and called for tea.

The Du salt merchant is actually doing other business. This time he came to Hangzhou to receive the Yang Ling official ship to deliver a batch of goods from Beijing. Seeing that the beauty he sent was not in the minds of the adults, it couldn’t be so. Come here in vain. If you want to know that if you climb this big tree, there will be something in the future.

When Boss Du thought of this, he took out a pair of pearl earrings from his arms. They were originally bought from Jinling and were going to be given to the most beloved concubine. He put his hands in the aisle and said, "It's the grass people who are reckless, those four women Caomin will take it away in a while. These pearl earrings are just a small gift, which is really disrespectful. Adults must show their face."

The pair of pearl earrings are slender and elegant, the pearls are round and plump, and the size is even. The color is bright and charming, and the deep moisturizing light is placed in the palm of the palm, which is extremely expensive jewelry. Yang Ling took it and handed it to Gao Wenxin. Seeing that she was still holding a pen, he smiled and said: "No need to remember, this pair of earrings will be given to you."

Gao Wenxin flushed, took a glance at him, then turned around and walked out, the sudden expression of shame and joy was very moving. Boss Du showed a stunned look and said in his heart: "It turns out that the imperial adult is fascinated by this woman. No wonder he doesn't accept the beautiful maidservant from me. This girl is indeed better than them by more than one thing."

Yang Ling talked with the two of them. Boss Du's thoughts have been sent. The long-lost meeting of the imperial commissioner and Min will certainly have something to say, so after a while, he got up and left.

Send Du Ce away, Yang Ling and Min Wenjian are seated again, Min Wenjian said: "My lord, I must take time to go to Haining this time. It's not too far away from the left and right. Let me also do my best as a landlord."

Yang Ling smiled and said: "If there is a chance, I will definitely go. Is Master Min all right in Haining?"

Min Wenjian said: "Fortunately, the rich here is far from comparable to the north, but the army here is far worse than our frontier army. I heard that the daimyos in all parts of Japan are making chaos in Haibabian, and they often lose power. The samurai and Ronin had nowhere to stand, so they colluded with some merchant ships and ran to us and robbed everywhere.

He*, there are some local profiteers, local tyrants, gangsters, and pirates who inform them, lead them, and even directly participate in the robbery.

When I first arrived in Haining, I was catching up with the Japanese pirates. Fortunately, the Yan Yunji had an **** team of more than 300 people. The combat power was stronger than the officers and soldiers. Those Japanese pirates didn’t admit defeat. People gave those **** a severe lesson, and killed more than twenty with a machete. So far, I haven't seen them dare to come to my salt transport department to make trouble. "

Yang Ling heard the word Japanese pirates again, and couldn’t help asking: "Are these Japanese pirates very powerful?"

Provide reading of the latest hand-printed novels

Min Wenjian disdainfully said: "The combat power is not as good as the Tartar, and the number is even more of a group of guerrillas. However, this coastline is too long and it is impossible to defend against. In addition, the army here is too weak, often a small group of Japanese pirates of hundreds Going ashore is enough to rampage.

I heard that princes from all over Japan fought each other for power, but they all had money in their hands. Some princes wanted to do business with our Great Ming, but unfortunately, there are too few ports and goods allowed for business to satisfy them.

The guys jumped over the wall in a hurry, and they organized the men and horses to collude with our unscrupulous businessmen to smuggle secretly. If they were chased by the navy and couldn’t make a deal, they would turn to be robbers. When they came, they walked into the sea. Hide, we really can't help them. "

Yang Ling moved in his heart and thought to himself: "It turns out that some of these pirates turned to be pirates because they wanted to do business properly. I only heard that the Japanese pirates were brutal and greedy, and often looted the coastal people. This reason I never heard of People have said it."

Yang Ling nodded silently, thought about it, and said: "To solve these problems, it seems that we have to solve these problems. On the one hand, we must strengthen the force to make them feel afraid and dare not come easily. What's wrong with opening a legitimate trading port and actively doing business with it for mutual benefit?

How much can those pirates **** from the people by plundering? Most of them are just enough for them to make ends meet. If there are benefits to be gained, these people are bound to change and become businessmen..."

When Yang Ling said this, he suddenly stopped: rectify the army, can the people in the factory do it? Open a trading port? If the Chinese minister does not nod his head, is this policy feasible? Insufficient power and contacts, people's ideology still needs to change, too many conditions are immature, so all of this is not what he can do now. Does he have the opportunity and time to do these things?

Min Wenjian can’t understand these things. Seeing him frowning as if worrying about the people of Jiangnan, he hurriedly laughed and said, “Don’t worry, adults. Most Japanese pirates come from the sea. You must rely on the * wind when you disembark from the sea. When the Japanese pirates land, most of them have a fixed number, and they can’t change if they want to.

We are prepared, they can't afford to toss much. At most, they can grab fishing villages, but they are not very capable. Hmm... Generally, April and May and September and October are suitable for sailing. Japanese pirates will come to looting at that time. Before I came to see you, the officers and soldiers of the Salt Transport Division should be on guard, as long as you survive these two Months, they will have to wait until April next year if they think about it again. "

Yang Ling and Min Wenjian were chatting, Zheng Baihu ran in and said: "Enjoy the factory supervisor, Mr. Mo has prepared the sedan, please go to Lion Peak for inspection."

Yang Ling heard this and stood up and apologized: "Master Min, you and I will meet again after a long time. I should have a wine and have a good chat with you, but today I have agreed to go to Chashan to inspect together with Mr. Where, when I come back tonight, I will send someone to invite you, let’s drink and talk, not get drunk and have no return."

Min Wenjian smiled boldly and said: "Based on the friendship between you and me, what are you talking about those polite things? It's just that you came from afar and it is not easy to meet you, so I ran away. The salt transport made the adult father critically ill. I have already taken leave to return to my hometown. I don’t dare to leave that stall for too long, so I have to hurry back today. If the adults can come to Haining for inspection, let’s have a good time."

Yang Ling said happily: "Well, it's rare to come to Jiangnan, Haining, I will definitely go."

Min Wenjian raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly: "Since I know it's rare to come to Jiangnan, then...Should I go to Jinling?"

Yang Ling stunned: "Nanjing? It seems that I don't have to go to Nanjing for this tour of Jiangnan tax?"

He said in his mouth, and he thought to himself: "What are you going to do there? Wang Qiong is in Nanjing. Although the old man hates himself deeply, he is not bad in nature. I don't want to embarrass him, but this is unavoidable. When I met him, his son died in my hands. I don’t know what the situation was when I saw him. As for Ma Lian'er...Ah!"

Min Wenjian said with a smile: "The journey is not too far, in fact, if you take the time, you might as well go to Jinling," he smiled and said, "When I was transporting salt to Nanjing, I met Ma Yicheng's daughter by chance. That little girl , I have deep roots for you, Mr. Yang. If you let them down, I won’t even look down upon them."

He said that he took out a folded piece of paper from his sleeve, stuffed it into Yang Ling's hand, and said: "This is her address, haha, I will do it all. You can decide whether to go or not. "Min Wenjian finished the matter, and seemed very happy, grinning with a smug look.

Yang Ling sent him out, and saw two sedan chairs stopped at the door, Zheng Baihu brought some fans, and tax collectors and some servants of Mo House were standing outside the door.

Yang Ling and Min Wenjian bid farewell, watching him go away on the sedan chair, standing under the green wall with creepers, looking at the green willow and Qinghe beside the wall, and fumbled for the branches in his hand to stand idly for a long time.

In a trance, he seemed to see a beautiful woman dressed in white clothes, like a hazy, weak peony, leaping out of the water and walking towards him with affection. The gait and the ubiquitous demeanor make people feel disappointed: "

A monarch is like a name, and the moon is like a fog, and the fog is faint and dew with the moon,

As soon as I look back on it, I will think about the time and the evening of the king.

The soul goes with the king to the end of the world, and the clothes become wider without noticing crying,

I regret to sigh that the years are like the dew, when will I hold the house of the mud nest...

After thirty-six rounds of the bright moon, I should do a neon dress dance for you......"

Yang Ling murmured this last sentence. Remembering that after thirty-six rounds of the bright moon, he and Ma Lian'er were already separated from each other by humans and ghosts. They were difficult to meet by different routes. He couldn't help but feel a bit of grief. He cruelly pressed the paper with the detailed address of Ma Lian'er into a ball tightly, and was about to smooth it Leaving the river, he listened to someone beside him clapping his hands in praise: "Good poems, good poems, if the humble guess is right, this must be a gift from an amorous girl."

Yang Ling looked back and saw Mo Qinghe standing by his side and applauding cheerfully. His beautiful and charming lady was standing beside her, who was also full of splendor, obviously admiring it very much.

Jiangnan has an open atmosphere and is very different from the northern part of the capital. This lady, Mo Qinghe, doesn't have much to avoid. Her master was going to Lion Peak, so she sent it out. Hearing Yangling reciting this poem, he couldn’t help but smiled at Mo Qinghe admiringly: “Master, my concubine has heard the poem "Peach Blossom Temple" written by Suzhou talented Tang Yin for his Peach Blossom Temple villa in June this year. I have never heard of such a good poem with artistic conception. If Mr. Yang is not surprised, can I let my concubine write down this poem?"

Mo Qinghe frowned and said: "Don't be rude, how can you embarrass adults like this?"

Yang Ling smiled and said: "It's okay," he said, taking the paper ball back into his arms, and said: "When Governor Ben and Lord Mo come back from the mountain, they can recite it to Madam again."

Yang Ling In front of an **** with a wife, it is inconvenient to call him the father-in-law, but he changed his name to an adult. After hearing this, the two of Mo Qinghe and his wife were very happy, and Mrs. Mo smiled and said: "I only cared about the artistic conception in this poem, and never remembered the whole word. Adults only need to recite it again, and the concubine can remember it."

Yang Ling glanced at her in surprise, but he didn't expect this woman to remember well, and she had an unforgettable ability. Now he said the poem again, Madam Mo listened intently, and couldn't help it. With a high-five, she said, "I took the concubine's body, so I'll go back and record it." Saying that she was so happy, she couldn't say goodbye, and she went back to the house with the two maids who were wearing flowers and willows.

Mo Qinghe smiled helplessly at his back, and said to Yang Ling: "The concubine has always been innocent, making adults laugh."

Yang Ling said: "While acting recklessly, for a real person, Mrs. Zun is frank and unintelligible. What's wrong with this? Haha, the officer promised a few guests, so I came out later. Now, let’s go to Lion Peak for a visit."

When Mo Qinghe heard him say "swim" on the Lion Peak, he couldn't help but laugh, and the two got on the sedan chair. Yang Ling reached a hundred and twenty people, and Mo Qinghe also took 40 tax collectors and ran to the Lion Mountain. .

Hangzhou has light makeup and plain West Lake, clear and lush Fuchun, Qiantang, Nanwu Mountain, Beigu Mountain where the tide goes by, and there are many scenic spots. In fact, her scenery is mainly in the soft and charming Jiangnan gardens and humanities. In the landscape, many natural sceneries have heavy traces of man-made artifacts. If you put aside the artistic conception, it will be nothing.

For example, Su Xiaoxiao’s tomb on the edge of the West Lake, if it weren’t because she was a romantic Jiangnan prostitute, there are many literati and ink guests left behind "Orchid dew, like a cry of eyes. There is no knot in the same heart, fireworks can’t stand the grass. Ru Yin, pine like cover. The wind is the clothes, the water is the adornment..." A kind of beautiful verse, just looking at the tomb, it doesn't taste much.

Hangzhou scenery is not seen in the mountains, the Lion Peak is even more ordinary, and it is even more boring in the eyes of Yang Ling, which is used to seeing world-famous mountains. However, just look at an ordinary mountain, but it is produced. Longjing tea, which is famous all over the world, is out.

The mountains of Suzhou and Hangzhou, Tiger Hill is named for the spring, Feilaifeng is named for the Lingyin Temple, and the Lion Mountain is famous for its Longjing tea.

The official car entered the mountain, and the tax supervisor who was responsible for guarding the mountain hurriedly greeted him and let the two adults into a wooden house built on the mountain.

Yang Ling sat down on the bamboo chair and said with a smile: "In this month, if it were in the north, the autumn wind would have been breezy and the trees had withered, but this place was lush with vegetation and the weather was still so hot."

Mo Qinghe said: "Jiangnan Water Village, it's still cool, further south and inland, but it is even hotter. Come here, please give the adults a cup of tea to relieve the heat."

Yang Ling listened to the word “good tea”, and couldn’t help but sneer secretly. He touched the small bag of tea in his arms~IndoMTL.com~ When the tea was tasted, he asked Mo Qinghe. Understand. However, since he already had the idea of ​​subduing Mo Qinghe, he didn't want to be too much. He just wanted to press and oppress him to make him surrender.

A tea-picking woman wearing a navy blue robe, batik, light-colored floral skirt, a black belt on her slender waist, and a cloth towel on her hair, with a full smile on her face, gently and skillfully walked into the room. Quickly brewed a pot of tea, and served a cup of Yang Ling and Mo Qinghe.

Yang Ling picked up the cup of tea, and saw the spongy tea tip twirling in the water. Yang Ling glanced at Mo Qinghe, slowly put the cup under his nose and sniffed, and couldn't help but froze there again.

The tea tastes sweet and fragrant, which is exactly the same as the superb Huangjian taste he tasted when he was in Shanghai town. Mo Qinghe kept good tea privately, and the tea served to the court was much worse than this. Now, in front of himself, the imperial envoy from Beijing to investigate and handle, he didn't even know how to avoid it, so he offered the tea calmly. Isn't he afraid of himself? If there is a difference, can you take part in his crime of deceiving the king?

Yang Ling stunned for a moment, looked up at Mo Qinghe, who was smiling and waiting for him to taste the taste, and couldn't help but asked: "Master Mo, your tea is full of fragrance, refreshing, and you are indeed the best king. … The Governor also drank the royal tea from the palace when he was in Beijing. The tribute tea that the emperor drank was more than your tea, but it was worse than your tea. I wonder if Lord Mo could explain it?"
