Chapter 726: The Signal of Comeback


Ji Gang can't help but lose his temper, because Shen Wansan is too famous.

The folk proverb of the Ming Dynasty said: "Nanjing Shen Wansan, Yanjing withered willow tree, the name of the person, the shadow of the tree", Shen Wansan's deeds, in the folk spread the gods, Ji Gang is also a long admiration of the name.

Shen Wansan is a native of Nanxun Town, Huzhou, of course, he does not have a "cornucopia", in fact, Shen Wansan made a fortune, at the beginning he also started from agriculture, started with crops, and stored fields, two-thirds of the fields in Suzhou Mansion are the land of the Shen family, becoming a famous big landlord in the south of the Yangtze River.

Later, Lu Daoyuan, a wealthy businessman in Wujiang who was rich in Jiajiang, became a monk and gave all his assets to his friend Shen Wansan, which was equivalent to doubling his wealth.

After that, he began to engage in overseas trade, taking advantage of the convenience of Baiyan Jiangxi connecting the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and entering the Liuhe River in the east, and transporting silk, ceramics, grain and handicrafts from Jiangsu and Zhejiang to overseas.

When the people of Jiangnan rebelled against the Yuan Dynasty, he speculated again, first funded the most powerful Zhang Shicheng, and after the rise of Zhu Yuanzhang, he funded Zhu Yuanzhang and made a fortune in the war, thus becoming a symbol of the God of Wealth.

This kind of wealthy family, after Zhu Yuanzhang won the world, became an inevitable target, Hongwu six years, Shen Wansan was placed on a trumped-up charge to confiscate the army in Yunnan, not long after he died, and his family property was confiscated.

However, the Shen family is too rich, and some of the family properties that were slightly hidden before can still allow the Shen family to gain a foothold in Jiangnan.

In the spring of the nineteenth year of Hongwu, the Shen family got into a lawsuit because of the dispute over Tianfu, and Shen Wansan's two grandsons, Shen Zhi and Shen Zhuang, were put in prison, and Shen Zhuang died in prison that year.

In the thirty-first year of Hongwu, Shen Wansan's son-in-law Gu Xuewen was implicated in a rebellion case again, Gu Xuewen's family and six members of the Shen family were "called Ling Chi", more than 80 people were killed, and the family property was confiscated again, this time the Shen family was really completely declined.

Shen Wendu knew that because of his father Shen Wansan, the Shen family had been branded with some kind of political symbol, and if the Shen family wanted to rise again, only the ability to do business was not enough, and he had to climb a big man in the court, so he took out some of the remaining treasures in the family and ran to Nanjing City to find a way.

In fact, it was not Ji Gang who Shen Wendu originally wanted to defect, but Yang Xu.

Yang Xu is a prince of the country, especially prestigious in the Jiangnan area, and the vigorous promotion of maritime trade is also from Yang Xu's hands, which is very much to Shen Wendu's appetite.

Taking advantage of the good opportunity of the birth of the little grandfather of the Fuguo Mansion, Shen Wendu also mixed in with the crowd of gift-givers and went to the Yang family to give gifts.

The gift he gave was too heavy, and the steward of the Fuguo Mansion naturally couldn't treat him as an ordinary person, so he immediately reported to Xia Xun, Xia Xun didn't know him at all when he heard it, and he gave such a generous gift, and it was not like an ordinary friend who had business dealings with the Yang family's shops, so he met him in person.

As a result, as soon as he explained his identity and intentions, Xia Xun categorically refused, and even threw him out with a gift.

Shen Wendu was disappointed, but unexpectedly met a Xiangshi, when the Xiangshi first started to speak, he thought it was an ordinary means of soliciting business, but the Xiangshi said his life experience, the prosperity and decline of the family was completely accurate, Shen Wendu couldn't help but move his mind, so he asked the Xiangshi to give guidance.

He turned to Ji Gang, it was under the guidance of the minister, after he came to Beijing, he also heard about the grievances between the Fuguo Gong and Ji Gang, and naturally it was impossible to tell people about this experience.

In fact, even if Ji Gang and Yang Xu are still friendly, it is impossible for him to mention this matter, you chose someone else first, and people did not accept you, so you retreated to the second, am I inferior Shen Wendu Of course he would not make this mistake.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, because of Shen Wansan's name, Ji Gang did not ignore this Shen Wendu, and when Shen Wendu explained his idea of taking refuge in him, Ji Gang was very pleased.

Ji Gang is now mainly accumulating wealth in Beijing, but under the nose of the Son of Heaven, there are many inconveniences after all.

His hand has just stretched out of Beijing now, and Chang Yinglin, the prefect of Huzhou, is the first money-collecting machine he cultivated, but Chang Yinglin was cut down by Xia Xun, and he hasn't found a suitable agent for a while.

With the Shen family's good means of doing business back then, Ji Gang had no doubt about Shen Wendu's ability to collect money, as for the Shen family's jealousy of the royal family, so that it was constantly attacked, Ji Gang felt that things had passed for so many years, and the Shen family was completely ruined, which was also not a matter for him, so he agreed.

Ji Gang smiled at the generous gift given by Shen Wendu, and then instructed Shen Wendu to be his agent and go back to Jiangnan to help him collect money, and he would settle any troubles in the officialdom.

Ji Gang's surname, which is a person who is willing to do business and make money, will inevitably have a lot of illegalities in mentioning Shen Wendu.

Shen Wendu's family property was 100 million yuan back then, and now it is dilapidated, and he can't wait to get rich again, Ji Gang's instructions he naturally understood, and catered to the will at the moment, and put forward many ideas, Ji Gang was overjoyed, and allowed them one by one, these two people hit it off and became close business partners.

Zhu Neng's burial place was finally determined, and according to the performance of the Qin Heavenly Prison, he was selected on the Beize Mountain in front of Beizhai Village, Huairou County, Yanjing Prefecture, and the captured Annan people were removed together, and the tomb of Chengguo Gong was guarded for generations from then on.

Most of the civil and military officials did not understand the emperor's burial of his very important Chengguo Gong in the distant Yanjing Mansion, and the only reasonable explanation could only be: General Zhu once guarded Beiping with the emperor, and the emperor wanted General Zhu's heroic spirit to continue to guard the northern frontier for the Ming Dynasty.

Only after Xia Xun heard the news, he looked at the map with reference to Qin Tianjian's explanation from Feng Shui, and understood in his heart: "The emperor's intention to move the capital has been decided, and even the place of his own tomb has been secretly decided."

Beize Mountain and the Ming Tombs in Changping County are located in the same mountain system, according to the Ming Dynasty Feng Shui theory, the location of the Ming Tombs is the dragon's head, Beize Mountain is the dragon's tail, the feng shui is really good, Zhu Di buried Zhu Neng there, is prepared to be a hundred years after the monarch and the minister are still together.

On the palace, Zhou Yun, the supervisor of Qintian, reported to Zhu Di: "Qintianjian has sent someone to Yanjing Mansion to choose an auspicious time to break ground and build a tomb. ” Zhu Di nodded, Zhou Yun paused, and said: "The Ninety-Nine Double Yang Festival is coming, this is the list of sacrifices prepared by the minister, please take a look at it."

As he spoke, he handed over a list of his hands.

Zhu Yuanzhang's death is bound to be a big sacrifice, and other ancestor festivals, whether to hold a big sacrifice or a small sacrifice is decided by the emperor himself.

The first two days, he has asked Zhu Di, Zhu Di said that this year's small sacrifice, in addition to the royal family to bring a few more close ministers, asked him to go back to draw up a list, if the minister's appearance or the eight characters and the time of the tomb have a place to rush, naturally can not bring it.

Zhu Di sighed, took the list, hurriedly browsed it, and asked: "Why is there no place for Yang Xu to commit crimes with his physiognomy and eight characters and the sacrificial tomb?"

Since the White Lotus Case, the emperor seems to be a little estranged from the Duke of Fuguo, and many officials have tasted it.

And the news that the eldest young master of the Yang family was sealed as soon as he was born has not spread for the time being, so no one knows that the emperor's attitude towards Yang Xu has changed again, and Zhou Yun did not add Yang Xu when he drew up the list, which is the result of his thoughts, and he doesn't want this sycophant to obviously be slapped on the horse's leg.

Zhou Yun squeaked and said: "Uh, no, the minister is thinking, the Fuguo family just had a happy event."

Zhu Di understood, glanced at him and said, "What does this have to do with paying tribute to the first emperor?"

Zhou Yun hurriedly agreed: "Yes, yes, yes" Zhu Di glanced at him again, and said lightly: "Do your part well, don't think about it, don't get involved."

"Yes, yes, yes" Zhou Yun hurriedly agreed and retreated, and when he stood still under the corridor, he was already in a cold sweat.

The back house of the Fuguo Mansion is like a cover.

In the small building, Ming'er was taking a nap with her son.

In the garden, a few little girls were laughing and chasing, like butterflies wearing flowers, flashing into this flower bush from time to time, and coming out from that side.

These are five little girls, and the leader is Tang Sai'er.

Tang Sai'er originally went to Xia Xun's Mansion with his mother and Granny Qiu to send wedding cakes to celebrate the birth of the little grandfather.

Xia Xun was very happy to see them getting along so well, after Tang Sai'er was an old man, Xia Xun didn't want her to be a magician at a young age, so she said to the Tang family lady that she would come to the house every time she came to study with Si Yang and Si Xun.

If there is a better development, of course, the lady of the Tang family does not want her daughter to enter the music nationality, and the identity of the civil nationality is always higher, so although the lady of the Tang family does not want to trouble the benefactor, but it involves the daughter's background and future, and finally agreed, and Tang Sai'er became a frequent visitor to the Yang family.

Tang Sai'er is a year younger than Xia Xun's eldest daughter, but with them, she is like a child leader, and it has only been a few days, and the four eldest ladies of the Yang family have obediently become her subordinates, and they are commanded by her to do this and that, and they are still happy to do it, even Siyu, who has the most eyes and is the most difficult to manipulate.

Xia Xun sat in the small pavilion, listening to the birdsong, smelling the flowers, watching them play with a smile, and said in his heart: "No wonder I can be the leader of the rebel army, and I can do such a big thing as a daughter, I have really been talented since I was a child."

Xia Xun was sighing with emotion, and the second steward crept over, stood outside the pavilion, and said: "Master, the Qin Tianjian sent a message that Ming said that the Ninety-Nine Double Yang Festival should accompany the royal family and worship the filial piety tomb."

"Oh" When Xia Xun heard this, his expression moved.

The previous emperor issued an edict to give his son a name and an official, which is different from people, Ming'er has already said that he knows, and now he will listen to this will, Xia Xun's heart feels more affirmed: "It's only been a month, do you want me to get out of the cold palace?"
