Chapter 173: Luring the Wolf into the House


Xu Huan's contempt and ridicule were the understanding of the White Lotus Sect by most of the people in that era.

The White Lotus Church is popular among the people, mainly relying on the tricks of pretending to be gods and the allure of helping each other, and its followers are still a minority compared to the huge population base.

If it is put aside to later generations, all the rebellions that occurred in history are all defined as uprisings, and the rebels are all righteous and chivalrous people, but this may not be the case.

Although there are many heroes in the sect who are chivalrous and righteous, hoeing violence and peace, but there are also indispensable evildoers and evil people in the township, and in the notes, there are more descriptions of the oppression of good behavior by the government and the magnates, and they criticize and ridicule it, they are mostly dissatisfied with the court because of their own unwillingness, but even when they write about the White Lotus Sect, they rarely praise it, and most of the disciples in the White Lotus Sect are called demons, which shows how the White Lotus Sect is evaluated among the people.

Wang Jingangu didn't expect that Shandong, which was thousands of miles away, the situation was already so grim, and he couldn't help but feel tricky in his heart, he came to Shandong to join his cousin not only to save himself, he also had a greater purpose, now the White Lotus Sect in Jinan has obviously been destroyed, Wang Jingangnu began to ponder, whether to leave Jinan and go to Shanxi The White Lotus Sect in various places is passed down from generation to generation in a family way, and Shanxi is the territory of the Li family, and it seems that it is still relatively peaceful there.

However, he thought about it, and felt that the current situation in Jinan was not good for himself, if he used it well, but it was not an opportunity, the rabbit was in a hurry and bit people, if the head of the White Lotus Sect in Jinan had not been caught, then thinking of this, Wang Yiyuan asked: "Oh, then, has the head of the White Lotus Sect here been caught?"

Xu Huan said: "If you catch it, you won't have such a big battle."

I heard that those White Lotus Sect leaders are all some true disciples, scattering beans into soldiers, cutting paper into cranes, and having some magical powers.

I heard that the head of the White Lotus Sect Niu does not go out in the wild, and he can become a donkey by taking a bench in his hand, and when he gets off the place and stretches out his hand, hey the donkey will become a bench again, those are all demons, which are so easy to catch. ” When King Kong Nu heard this, a slight smile appeared on his face Xia Xun returned to the Qingzhou Post House with a blue nose and a swollen face, thanks to the horse, otherwise just the bruise on his leg, he wanted to walk back to Qingzhou City.

Qingzhou Yicheng was very nervous, and he cared for him for a long time, how could Xia Xun tell him what he had encountered, and Lao Yicheng did not stop until he was sure that Yang had not met a bandit.

He knows Xia Xun's identity, even if Xia Xun interviews around, he can't lose contact with Huang Zhen like a kite with a broken string.

So everywhere he went, he had to stay in the official post and keep in touch with Huang Zhen accordingly.

It's just that in this way, he can't hide his traces, in case he lets King Qi know that he has been to Qingzhou but doesn't go to see him, it will be difficult to explain, so he still has to go to the Qi Palace.

It's just that his surname is anxious, and as soon as he arrived in Qingzhou, he went directly to Pengjiazhuang, and now he is like this, and the Qi Wangfu is not good to go immediately, so he has to rest in the post house for two days, hoping to recuperate the injury, and then go to the Qi Wangfu to meet the old club.

The nephews of the Peng family have practiced kung fu at the bottom, and they know where to start, Xia Xun was beaten very embarrassed, but he was not seriously injured, and after raising for a day, he was finally able to walk slowly on the ground.

That afternoon, Xia Xun changed his medicine, lay down on the chair like a mummy, and was half-asleep and half-awake to recuperate, when Lao Yicheng suddenly appeared sneakily beside him, with a strange look on his face.

Xia Xun noticed that there was someone, opened his eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised: "What's the matter?"

Lao Yicheng hesitated for a moment, rubbed his hands, and said with a dry smile: "Lord Yang, there is a guest who wants to see you." ” "Oh, you want to see who I am" Lao Yicheng said with difficulty: "It's a nun." ” Xia Xun was taken aback, he had watched too many TV series in his previous life, and his imagination was relatively rich, and he immediately thought that Peng Ziqi couldn't think of it, so he actually cut his hair and became a nun, he asked anxiously: "What is her name, how old is it?"

Xia Xun was anxious to stand up, but his thigh was kicked and bruised, swollen and high, and this force pulled the injury, so painful that he stumbled, and fell back on the chair.

Lao Yicheng said: "That nun is ruthless, it looks like there are more than forty, thirty, maybe fifty, but it is well maintained."

Xia Xun was relieved when he heard this, he thought about it carefully, he didn't know such a monk in Qingzhou, and he didn't feel curious, so he said, "Please let that teacher come in." ” A bhikshuni dressed in moon-white monk's robes and described as a little withered walked into the room with the old post man, and Xia Xun had already stood up slowly with the back of his chair.

As soon as the nun saw him, her figure shook, and she swept to his side, her movements were extremely fast, Xia Xun was taken aback, and said that she had met an assassin, but before he could react, her right arm had fallen into the hands of the nun.

"Fortunately, those bunnies are finally measured and have no internal injuries."

The nun sighed, circled around him twice, looked up and down, and asked, "Yang Xu, your hands, feet, and limbs are broken by bones."

Xia Xun said blankly: "The official's hands and feet are fine, please ask Mrs.

Shi" The nun said happily: "That's good, Qiqi's girl heard that you were beaten by her brothers, and she was so anxious that she wanted to die, you are fine, otherwise she will make Pengjiazhuang restless." ” Xia Xun was overjoyed and said: "Qi Qi, what kind of person is Master Zi Qi?"

Speaking of this, he suddenly found that the old Yicheng was still standing aside, listening to them with his ears pricked up, and hurriedly coughed and said, "Wang Yicheng, you can step down." ” "Yes" Lao Yicheng glanced at them very ambiguously and retreated gently.

As soon as Wang Yicheng left, Xia Xun immediately couldn't wait to say: "Mrs.

Shi was entrusted by Ziqi."

The nun sighed softly, and the wrinkles on her face deepened: "The poor nun is Ziqi's aunt, you were beaten by my Peng family's children, Ziqi was very relieved when she heard about it, but she is not free now, so she asked me to come to see you." ” Xia Xun hurriedly said: "May I ask my aunt, how is Ziqi now?"

The ruthless master said: "Ziqi is very good, my eldest brother will not be difficult for his own precious daughter."

It's just that, Yang Xu, I'm afraid the matter between you and Ziqi is not good."

"You are a scholar, you have the identity of a showman, come to my Liu Xiangzhi's house to help with things, don't you feel wronged?"

Liu Xiangzhi, the old man of the Liu Mansion, listened to the introduction of the second steward Xu Huan, and asked his cousin Wang Jingangnu very kindly.

Wang Yiyuan arched his hand and said: "Master Liu, I won't tell you that although the student has passed the examination, he is actually very limited, and he knows that he can't go further."

The student's family has no permanent property, and he can't rely on the identity of a showman to sit and eat nothing, this time he went to Jinan to join his cousin, just to find a job and do things in a down-to-earth manner.

Master Liu is a gentleman in Jinan, rich in the world, and being able to do things in Master Liu's mansion is very decent, what is there to compromise?"

Liu Xiangzhi smiled when he heard this: "Okay, if you don't think it's wrong, then it's good."

Yiyuan is a showman, I can't be too sorry for you, Liu Ya, you take Yiyuan to our Dasheng bookstore to recognize the door, and introduce the shopkeeper He, and ask Yiyuan to make a tent there.

One yuan, you work hard, if you perform well, the old man will transfer you to the general number in the future. ” Xu Huan was surprised and delighted when he heard it, and thanked him again and again.

You must know that the account room is not something that everyone can do, generally speaking, the account office of a store is not cultivated step by step from the young man who does chores and errands, and in the end, he is not only skilled in business, but also knows the roots, and is loyal to his family, which can make him serve as the account office.

Now Master Liu directly arranged an envoy for Wang Yiyuan in the account room, of course, because he has a meritorious reputation, he can't take a look at it, and it is not because of his Xu Huan's face.

Wang Yiyuan also thanked him again and again, and then resigned from Master Liu, and his scholar Liu Ya sent him to the bookstore.

This Liu Xiangzhi Liu is a famous gentleman in Jinan City, and he has only one son, that is, Liu Yujue Liu Gongzi, who had a relationship with Xia Xun.

The Liu family has land, but their main income is business.

Generally speaking, since the Ming Dynasty suppressed commerce, then commerce was inevitably underdeveloped in the Ming Dynasty.

In fact, otherwise, the industry and commerce of the Ming Dynasty were very developed, Zhu Yuanzhang governed the world for 30 years, and when he arrived at Zhu Di, he went to Nanyang seven times, conquered Mongolia six times, repaired the Yongle Grand Ceremony, moved the capital to Yanjing, dredged the Grand Canal, attacked Annam, built the Great Wall, and spent money like flowing water Because what future generations have relished in the history books is how Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly killed many officials, and how Zhu Di brutally dealt with the war criminals and their families listed by him after occupying Nanjing, and completely ignored their outstanding military and political achievements, and completely ignored their achievements in economic governance.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang, an emperor from a peasant background, was very good at grasping politics and the economy.

In the Song Dynasty, the handicraft industry was still dominated by the government, and as soon as the Ming Dynasty was established, Zhu Yuanzhang began to privatize it on a large scale, except for several important resources related to the lifeline of the country's economy, such as the salt industry and the tea industry, which must be in the hands of the imperial court, and many industries were turned into private enterprises.

In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, the iron smelting was dismissed, and the private sector was opened, except for gold and silver, which were precious metals, and private mining was allowed.

In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, private mining was also allowed in coal mines, and in terms of silk weaving, the official handicraft industry in the early Ming Dynasty was still the most prosperous period, and it was left far behind by private silk weaving.

By this time, the Ming Dynasty was far ahead of the whole world, whether it was heavy industries such as iron, shipbuilding, and construction, or light industries such as silk, textiles, porcelain, and printing.

With the rise of industry, commerce naturally developed, and although the political status of merchants was not high, they had a lot of social wealth.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's agricultural tax revenue was not high, and the commercial tax was even lower than tax exemption, so the industry and commerce in the early Ming Dynasty quickly rejuvenated.

Thirty years ago, Zhu Yuanzhang rebuilt a vast empire on the ruins of the displaced, the country's agricultural base had basically collapsed due to the war, and the industry was wiped out, leaving only 37 families in the prosperous city of Yangzhou.

In the past 30 years, the Liu family has also developed from a small oil and salt shop to a famous wealthy gentleman in Jinan Mansion, but Master Liu never expected that this time to lure the wolf into the house brought a crisis to his family To be continued:
