Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 259
With the relocation of the imperial court and the enthronement of Emperor Hongguang, the city of Nanjing once again became the core of the entire Ming Dynasty after 200 years.

Especially getting rid of the rotten burden of the north, not to mention turning 4 million stone grains on the canal, the imperial court immediately changed its previous poverty.

And bureaucrats, big and small, who have no wealth, have made Nanjing more and more hot.

There are many shops, wide banners almost filling the narrow streets, elegant restaurants, bustling restaurants, and brothels of Yingying Yanyan. Even after seeing a lot, Zheng Sen is still amazed.

Compared with the baby-like Quanzhou, the city of Nanjing is like a giant, eye-catching.

However, being rich, he was already immune to these things, so he put down the car curtain and came to Qian's house.

Looking at the huge and magnificent Qian Zhai, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Master is still too greedy for enjoyment."

Although he admired Liu Rushi's talent, after all, women in brothels were used to it in the officialdom, but they hadn't entered the officialdom yet, and they were still full of longing.

Therefore, in his opinion, Qian Qianyi, who is profoundly knowledgeable and virtuous, did such a thing, which is really not a small stain.

But no one is perfect, and he also understands the business at home, after all, he has a deep understanding of people, and it remains the same on the surface.

But in his heart, there is still nothing to let go of.

Handing over a piece of silver casually, the porter's face was distorted with joy, and he hurriedly invited in and went to report.

After a while, he was welcomed in and met Liu Rushi.

With a delicate face like a flower, talking and laughing freely, this is the deep impression Liu Rushi gave him.

"Da Mu is here, the master hasn't come back yet, just wait a moment!"

Twisting her plump waist, Liu Rushi said softly, and then asked someone to pass tea, don't be rude.

In order to avoid the embarrassment of Li Xia in the melon field, Liu Rushi made an excuse to leave, leaving Zheng Sen alone.

It also gave him a sigh of relief.

Even after seeing Jue Se, Liu Rushi still put a lot of pressure on him, and his heart became more and more irritable: women are really a scourge——

Sitting in the living room, Zheng Sen thought about his father's considerations.

The reason why he visited this teacher was because of rumors in Nanjing that troops and food were to be transferred from Guangdong and Guangxi, and he even planned to attack the Zheng family in Fujian.

The Zheng family has been in the maritime business for many years, and has accumulated a net worth of more than one million?It's okay to bleed a little, but I'm afraid of attracting tigers and leopards.

Even the slightest bit of rumors is acutely dangerous to the current Zheng family.

There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the four towns of Jiangbei, which is extremely bluffing.

The reason why he came to Guozijian and worshiped Qian Qianyi as his teacher, wasn't it because he thought that the Zheng family would have support in the court and be well-informed?

Of course, Zheng Sen also understands that he has squandered a lot of money in the Guozijian for more than a year, catered to some people, and naturally offended some.

No wind, no wave.

After a long time, just as he was in a trance, he was disturbed by the servant girl.

"Is the teacher back?"

Zheng Sen's spirit was shaken, he hurriedly cleaned up, and then left slowly.

But after changing into a long robe, Qian Qianyi became more refined and easy-going in an instant.

I saw a young man in a green shirt walking quickly, with bright eyes and a straight nose. Although he was of medium stature, he gave off a particularly stable aura.

"Damu, why do you come to see my teacher?"

Qian Qianyi smiled slightly, and teased a little: "Is there something you want?"

The reason why he accepted Zheng Sen was that apart from the fact that the overseas business of the Zheng family was very important to the exchanges between the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, Zheng Sen himself also played a big role.

Different from the unruly and unruly one he imagined, although Zheng Sen is young, he is mature and stable, and has extraordinary insight, which is different from others, so he accepts this disciple.

Zheng Sen said with an embarrassed smile: "Teacher, this disciple has wanted to visit you for a long time, but I was afraid of disturbing you."

Immediately, he said directly: "It is true that the disciple is too ostentatious, causing displeasure to others, and targeting the Zheng family."

"The Zheng family!"

Qian Qianyi was lost in thought.

The Zheng family was able to get up, but they still gave a lot of money, and the soldiers and horses were tyrannical, so the imperial court named him Nan'anbo, the general soldier of Fujian, to appease him.

But such local warlords are still unpopular, and it is inevitable that they will be targeted.

"You don't have to worry about this!"

Qian Qianyi waved his hand and said: "Your father is very popular in Fujian. This has been expected for a long time. It is peace of mind to suppress pirates for the country."

"Fujian can affect the whole body with one hair, and it is impossible to mess around."

Only then did Zheng Sen gain confidence in his heart.

Of course he understands that his father controls the sea area of ​​Fujian, whether it is going to Nanyang or Japan, those gentry will always rely on him, so naturally it is impossible to touch their own pockets.

"Teacher, I heard that the thieves in the west of Yunnan are very powerful?"

Hearing the news from the Imperial College, Zheng Sen couldn't help asking tentatively.

The current airs of the Hongguang court are bluffing, but he has been in Nanjing for more than a year, and he can't understand that this court is simply the money bag of the four towns in Jiangbei.

Even in Huguang, there is a king of Yu who is tossing about, not buying the court's account.

"Small things."

Qian Qianyi said calmly, as if he knew that his disciple had a wide network, and added:
"Yunnan has been slack for many years, and was taken advantage of by the western thieves. The chieftain issue is also complicated!"

He doesn't want to reveal too much.

When Zheng Sen heard this, he thought it was funny.

The Nanjing court is like a sieve, and it can be found out with a little effort, so why not be half an hour late?

After talking about some messy things again, Zheng Sen left.

And Zheng Sen returned to the carriage, his expression changed: "Did you find out?"

"A few miscellaneous hairs are not greedy enough."

The big man in the carriage said aggrievedly: "Master, just let them like this? It's not easy for uncle to earn such a waste of money."

"People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads."

Zheng Sen said in a deep voice: "My teacher will press it here, and this matter is over early."

Sighing, Zheng Sen has been in Nanjing for a long time, and he fully understands the necessity of his father sending him to Nanjing.

If there is no Qian Qianyi to shelter from the wind and rain, and he sprinkles gold and silver from time to time, the life of the very rich Zheng family will definitely be difficult.

"Young Master, Uncle has three thousand boats under his command, and tens of thousands of brothers to eat, are you afraid that the court will fail?"

The big man muttered, he was really aggrieved during this time.

"What's the use of people?"

Zheng Sen glanced at him, and warned: "Can the fish in the sea still come ashore? Leave Fujian and go to Dayuan, do you want to go?"

Hearing this, the big man immediately fell silent.

Dayuan (Tainan) has no mosquito bites, and there is nothing to do. If you go there, you can only suffer. It is not as comfortable as the mainland.

The tens of thousands of people in the Zheng family looked like a bluff, but they were only strong at sea. Once on land, they could only die in front of the majestic army.

"Go call me sick!"

Zheng Sen said leisurely.

"My lord, are you going back?" the big man said excitedly.

"No, let's go to Huguang to see!"

Zheng Sen's eyes were bright.

He wanted to see why this man of the same age as him had established such a territory.
