Chapter 100 Lu Xiangsheng's troubles Other princes and nobles, seeing Chen Ying with crystal artworks, also paid for it.After all, regardless of quality or shape, these glass jewelry are more fashionable than those of the Ming Dynasty.The most important thing is that Chen Ying did not sell one by one at all, but in Pan Lou, one of the most luxurious restaurants in the capital, he used 8,000 taels of silver to wrap up the entire courtyard, and spent 5,000 taels of silver to wrap more than 100 Qinglou women to come to serve, and more than a dozen top brands came to perform.This feast was unprecedentedly grand, and the invited were not princes and nobles, or high-ranking officials, Chen Ying took a form similar to the auction of later generations, and sold these glass ornaments for a total of more than 530,000 taels of silver, excluding the input, a total of more than 510,000 taels.According to Quan Xu's request, Chen Ying exchanged a total of 60,000 taels of gold in the major money banks in Beijing.These are sixty thousand taels of gold, which is more than two tons of gold.Even if the gold of the Ming Dynasty was not pure, the content of gold like the gold cake ranged from 89 to 95 percent, and the net content of gold exceeded two tons after removing impurities.It turned out that Quan Xu saw that the delivery date of more than 130,000 mu was approaching, and he was afraid that he would not be able to buy it, but now, it is in response to Lu You's poem: "There is no way out of the mountains and rivers, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village!"
”Fortunately, Chen Ying brought more than 500,000 yuan of income, plus the ten tons of industrial silver purchased by Quan Xu from later generations, which can basically meet the transaction of buying land.Crucially, the gold is easy to liquidate.Although ancient silver can be realized in later generations, in fact, it is scarce and expensive.It's okay to put out a few pieces once in a while, but it's not worth much if you have a lot.Quan Xu directly threw out a silver winter melon of more than 700 catties, which is more than 10,000 taels of silver, but it has not been successfully realized for the time being.Gold is actually the easiest to realize, these 60,000 taels of gold, these gold ingots are similar to the style of silver ingots, with a concave middle and upturned on both sides, similar to a small boat, and some are directly a rough gold cake.Quan Xu looked at these gold, he was simply overjoyed, of course, he still had the basic city government, and he behaved very calmly in front of Chen Ying, so calm that he secretly pinched his thigh several times to avoid his gaffe."
Well done!""
That's as it should be!"
Nowadays, the amount of silver and gold in Quanxu has increased, and the structural strength of the prefabricated house is too poor, in order to prevent accidents, Quanxu directly purchased two 45-foot high containers from later generations to serve as temporary vaults.Don't look at the surface of the container with only two millimeters of steel plates, for people in this era, it is not so easy to open, at least much easier than the prefabricated house.With a volume of 13.58 x 2.34 x 2.71 meters and a volume of 86 meters, these two tall containers are very suitable for storing silver or gold.Put the gold and silver into the warehouse, Quan Xu and Chen Ying, Zhou Hongru, and Sanniang left the silver treasury, this time there was no reward for Chen Yingqian, he pointed to the construction site in the direction of the Jiagou River and said: "I am a person, I have always been rewarded for meritorious service, and punished if I am wrong, see no!"
”Chen Ying looked in the direction of Quan Xu's finger, along the embankment of the Jiagou River, which is a huge construction site, on the embankment of more than 1,000 meters, nearly 2,000 people are working at the same time.The original embankment was compacted with triple soil, and more often than not, the foundation was dug and scaffolding was built with steel pipes, which looked very spectacular."
This is ......"
"Our future castle!"
Quan Xu said with some pride: "This will be the most brilliant pearl on the bank of the Yellow River in the future, a paradise on earth, and when it is built, there will be a house inside!"
”"Thank you for the reward!"
This mansion is not an ordinary mansion, but it represents that at that time, Quan Xu accepted Chen Ying into the real core.When she came to the warm pavilion, Sanniang asked Taoxian and Cao Yindi to serve tea, and then retreated.Sanniang followed Wushuang to learn literacy, unlike her learning martial arts, her learning is very slow, but arithmetic is very fast, especially when calculating money, addition and subtraction within 100,000, Sanniang can easily calculate the data of expenditure or income without a pen or abacus.At this time, Sanniang began to go to the silver vault, no longer counting the gold and silver, she couldn't sleep.Chen Ying arched his hand towards Quan Xu, his face became slightly solemn: "Master Quan, there is something I don't know if I should talk about!"
”"What?""
I heard rumors in Jingshi, and I don't argue whether it's true or not!"
Chen Ying continued: "I'm afraid that the Governor of Lu is in trouble!"
”Chen Ying naturally knew that Quan Xu and Lu Xiangsheng had a good relationship, so it can be said that the gentry of the Daimyo Mansion did not have a direct conflict with Quan Xu for two reasons, the first is that the Daimyo gentry were busy carving up Huang Liji's industry, and Quan Xu did not target Huang Liji's industry, so there was no direct conflict of interest.Secondly, there is Lu Xiangsheng, a daimyo, who is sheltered.If Lu Xiangsheng is impeached by the official because of the case of Huang Liji's murder, and the Daimyo's Mansion is replaced by another prefect, even if this prefect is not biased, the gentry of the Daimyo's Mansion will pounce on him like mad dogs.Of course, Quan Xu is not necessarily afraid of the daimyo gentry.Chen Ying has already seen that Quan Xu's plan is not small.In particular, the steel reserves in the Quanxu compound are more than 10 million catties, and if you build armor, it is enough to build hundreds of thousands.The gentry may not have other skills, but they can be like bear children, unable to do anything.Quan Xu smiled disapprerovingly: "Lord Lu, he is not alone, there is the Donglin Party behind him, how can the Donglin Party sit idly by?"
”"Master Quan, the five fingers are still of different lengths, one mother and compatriot, and there is still a difference between relatives and relatives, not to mention the Donglin Party?"
Quan Xu's expression slowly became solemn, Lu Xiangsheng was in Chongzhen for nine years, and he once went to Emperor Chongzhen: "Taiwan admonishes the ministers, regardless of the difficulty, regardless of life and death, and focuses on all blame, although there are long materials, where to arrange the exhibition?"
”It can be seen from this twist and turn that although Lu Xiangsheng is a member of the Donglin Party, he is a pragmatic person unlike the mouthpieces in the Donglin Party, but this twist and turn also offended Lu Xiangsheng to many Donglin Party officials.As a result, Lu Xiangsheng was isolated by the Donglin Party, until he ran out of ammunition and food, and at the end of the bloody battle, he still could not get any reinforcements, and Lu Xiangsheng's body was not collected until 80 days after his death.In the second year, Lu Xiangsheng's wife Wang asked for mercy, and in the third year, Lu Xiangsheng's younger brother Xiangjin and Xiangguan asked again, but they were not allowed.It was not until Yang Sichang failed to suppress Zhang Xianzhong and committed suicide that the imperial court gave Lu Xiangsheng the young master of the prince and the military department Shangshu and gave him a funeral.That is to say, among the Donglin Party, there are very few pragmatic officials like Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng, and most of them are mouth guns, and when they have a strong eunuch party, they can unite all the forces that can be united.Once there are no foreign enemies, when the family is dominant, they start dog-eat-dog again, a mouthful of hair.Thinking of this, Quan Xu frowned: "What do you mean......"
Chen Ying narrowed his eyes: "Master Quan, you should do it in advance!"
”Quan Xu nodded slowly, Chen Ying may not know who did it, but Quan Xu knows, but it is useless to know, he has no evidence, Wei Zhongxian left Liu Qiao too good a legacy, when the eunuch party was strong, he was "persecuted" and was put to the knighthood.Now after Liu Qiao's dots, Luo Yangxing, the insatiable commander, began to use Liu Qiao, and the official was reinstated, and he was appointed as the envoy of Jinyi Weibei Town.Even if Quan Xu came forward to point out Liu Qiao, Liu Qiao could be pushed cleanly, and on Liu Qiao's itinerary, he didn't pass through the Daimyo's Mansion at all, and he also had evidence of an alibi.Quan Xu thought about it, and an idea suddenly appeared in his head, he looked at Chen Ying and said, "Huang Liji should still have a private treasury, right?"
”"Yes!"
Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "There are many, the Huangfu Ancestral Hall should not be leaked!"
”"How to get in, you should know, right?"
Chen Ying nodded and said: "The incense burner is the mechanism to open the mechanism, turn right half a circle, press down for three points, and then turn left a circle!"
”"That's it!"
Quan Xu thought for a while and said, "Help me do something, find me a Wei Zhongxian Divine Seat, it is best to find his ancestral statue!"
”Chen Ying thought for a while and said, "Yes!"
”…… In the Daimyo's Mansion, Lu Xiangsheng was receiving three guests from the capital, and he was not ready to say that it should be Shangguan.At that time, Yi Yingchang, the left deputy capital, Qiao Yunsheng, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Jin Shijun, the secretary of Dali Temple, these three represented the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate and the Dali Temple, respectively, and they were the three divisions of the legendary three divisions.Emperor Chongzhen is a person who remembers the old feelings, no matter how bad Huang Liji is, he is good, that is, he is the one who proposed to support King Lixin as the king after the death of Emperor Tianqi.Of course, King Xin is the only living son of Zhu Changluo, and he can be regarded as the first heir to the throne, but if other ministers like Emperor Zhengde have no children after their deaths, it is also possible to directly succeed to the throne with their nephews, and it is not unprecedented.Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen ordered the three divisions to handle the case as soon as possible.In this way, the three major bosses of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, with more than 30 followers and thousands of followers, arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion in a mighty manner.Lu Xiangsheng could only deal with it carefully.Fortunately, Qiao Yunsheng was old, and he was extremely tired all the way, so he hurriedly ended the dust washing banquet after a simple meal.However, seeing that Yi Yingchang and Jin Shijun's faces were not good, Lu Xiangsheng also realized that something was wrong.There is no way, Lu Xiangsheng is also very helpless.No matter what Huang Liji said, he was also the former head of the cabinet, and now he was made into a wax man, burned to ashes in front of everyone, and the whole family of forty-seven people, as well as dozens of family members, a total of more than 100 people died, this is not a small case.In the words of the official, the impact is extremely bad and must be severely punished.However, Lu Xiangsheng has no useful clues at all, and he can't say that he doesn't, the key is that he can't produce any evidence, and there have been many witnesses who mentioned that the other party was wearing a brocade guard uniform, holding an embroidered spring knife, and the person headed by him was also wearing a flying fish suit.But in the Chongzhen Dynasty, there were only three people in the entire factory and Wei who were given flying fish suits, Jinyi Wei commanded Luo Yangxing, Cao Huachun and Sun Yunhe, the commander of the East Factory, but none of these three people left Beijing.Yang Lukai looked at the frowning Lu Xiangsheng and said, "Lord Lu, it's not been long, let's rest!"
”"Hey......"
Lu Xiangsheng sighed deeply, there is no evidence, but as the first major case in Chongzhen's second year, he must get off to a good start, his head is not big or small, and it is suitable for top thunder.The three divisions will be tried, arrive at the place where the crime occurred, and try it directly, this kind of thing has never happened, no matter whether Huang Liji is loyal or traitorous, as long as Emperor Chongzhen nods, he will be treated as the first assistant.
