East Factory Governor

Chapter 9
After Qin Shuhuai experienced the style of the Ming Dynasty with the mentality of a tourist, he planned to set off for Qingwu Town.I asked passers-by, Qingwu Town is located in the southeast of the capital, eighty or ninety miles away.After Qin Shuhuai's calculations, this is probably within the boundaries of Tongzhou.As a modern person, his first consideration would naturally not be walking, so he planned to hire a carriage.

There is everything on Chang'an Avenue, so it is not difficult to hire a carriage.But when the driver quoted the price, he was taken aback.

"It takes a hundred miles to get to Qingwu Town from here, and it's two hundred miles to go back and forth. Is it too expensive to charge you ten taels?" the driver said with a look of contempt.

Qin Shuhuai is very familiar with the Ming Dynasty.During the reign of Chongzhen, one hectare of rice only cost about 1.1 taels of silver, and one hectare was 156 catties of rice.On Earth, 156 catties of rice costs more than 400 yuan, so ten taels of silver is roughly equivalent to about 4000 yuan in the Huaxia Kingdom on Earth!Of course, the quality and value of silver are also different, Qin Shuhuai can only make a rough calculation in his head.

This price is indeed expensive, but it is not the driver's extravagant asking price.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the border was tight, and horses were always in short supply, so the price naturally rose.In the late Ming Dynasty, whoever had a carriage was equivalent to a luxury car in modern times.The cost of the driver is high, and the fee is naturally high.

It hurts to think about taking a taxi for more than 4000 yuan, but if you don’t feel bad, you will have a sore foot when you look back.Touching the banknotes in his arms, he felt that he could bear the pain.

So I found a bank, exchanged the 100 taels of silver for 50 taels of cash, and added 50 taels of silver, and hired a carriage and set off on the road.

After bumping all the way, I drove for more than three hours (more than 6 hours), and finally arrived at Qingwu Town when it was just getting dark.

Qingwu Town is a typical northern town.The town is not big, but because it is on the edge of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, it has attracted a lot of merchants, and the streets are also crowded with people.

After getting out of the car, Qin Shuhuai followed the wide street to the center of the town, found an inn and got a room, then went downstairs and ordered a few dishes in the lobby and started eating.

There are three strong men at the next table, armed with weapons, they look like martial arts people.The three of them were a little drunk, talking about something excitedly.

"Have you heard? The Emperor Scroll in the 'Three Treasures Secret Scroll' has also appeared!" said one of the burly men with beards.

"Oh? In whose hands?" asked the strong man with a scar on his face.

"Monk Wang!"

"Which Monk Wang?"

"You don't even know about this? Wang Ziyong of Shanxi!" another one with a more innocent face interjected.

The strong man with the scar thought for a while, and said, "It's the monk Wang who raised his troops to sweep Shanxi last year for his own use? Be good, no wonder he has developed so fast! It is said that his subordinates are like clouds, like Huntian King Qu Di, Chuangtian King Gao Yingxiang, Demon King Zhang Xianzhong, which one is not a first-class master, a top-notch general?"

Qin Shuhuai frowned when he heard this.

For the king's own use?It seems that Chongzhen rebelled with King Huntian in the first year of Chongzhen, and the one who was elected by the rebel masses as the leader of the "36 Battalion" in the fourth year of Chongzhen.When this man ran amok in Shaanxi, Gao Yingxiang and Zhang Xianzhong were his subordinates. As for Li Zicheng, he couldn't even rank among his ranks.This man was very powerful, but it was a pity that he died within a few years of dancing.

But what is the Three Treasures Secret Scroll?Can the king use the imperial scroll?

Thinking of this, curiosity was aroused, so I pricked up my ears and continued to listen.

The strong man with the scar took a sip of his wine and said to himself, "So, now two of Timur's three treasures are in the Central Plains?"

Qin Shuhuai was startled again.

Why did it involve Timur again?This is a big man!This guy was in the same era as Zhu Yuanzhang, and they can be described as two great heroes, one east and one west.Most people in the country only know that Zhu Yuanzhang captured the Central Plains and established a powerful Ming Dynasty after raising troops, but few people know that this Timur Khan wreaked havoc in Central Asia, West Asia, and South Asia for decades and established a powerful Ming Dynasty. Timurid Empire.How strong is he?The Timurid Empire in its heyday conquered what is now Iran, Afghanistan, Syria, Turkey, northern XJ, Armenia and the South Caucasus, and even conquered the Ottoman Empire, which was in full swing at the time. The empire's territory stretched from Damascus to Delhi, India , covering the Aral Sea to the Persian Gulf.The most outrageous thing is that this guy has not lost a single battle in 40 years, and he is a genuine "God of War".In the last year of his life, he also led 20 troops to conquer the Ming Dynasty.At that time, the Ming Dynasty was in the "Battle of Jingnan", and the national power was empty. Some radical historians even believed that if he hadn't died of illness on the way, it was really possible to annex the Ming Dynasty.There is also a little legend about Timur.It is said that there is a legend circulating in Russia and Eastern Europe that if Timur's remains are moved, the world will suffer a major mutiny. In 1941, Stalin ordered the excavation of Timur's tomb, and the Great Patriotic War broke out the next day.

Therefore, when he heard that the so-called "Three Treasures Secret Scroll" was associated with Timur, Qin Shuhuai's interest became more and more intense, and there was always a question in his mind, what exactly was this "Three Treasures Secret Scroll"?
At this time, the strong man with the cheeks said again, "Mother, one treasure can learn the art of the emperor, the second treasure can defeat the wealth of the world, the three treasures can kill the dragon, and the one who wins the three treasures can win the world. Now two of the three treasures are in the world. Daming is afraid that the sky will change!"

The burly man with scars expressed his disapproval, waved his hand and said, "That's not necessarily true! It's said that the one who wins the three treasures wins the world, and the monk Wang only got the first treasure scroll, but the second treasure scroll is still in the hands of the little emperor Chongzhen." Is it here? I think Daming is not exhausted."

The cheeky man said unconvinced, "How do you know that the treasure scroll is in the hands of the little emperor?"

The strong man with the scar said contemptuously, "Do you even need to think about it? No one in the world knows that the treasure scroll was originally obtained by Dongchang, and it has always been in the hands of that old eunuch Wei Zhongxian. Chongzhen killed him, not just to get that A treasure scroll?"

Qin Shuhuai was startled again, thinking that Chongzhen got the treasure scroll?One of the important reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty in history was that the national treasury was empty, and it was so poor that it could not even afford military pay.If Chongzhen of this world gets the treasure scroll, will the history be changed?
No, according to some of the surviving memories of the owner of this body, not long ago, the army in some places mutinied because of lack of payment.Besides, even if the treasure scroll was on Wei Zhongxian before, Chongzhen would definitely get it if he killed him?

What these few people said has their noses and eyes, and they don't know whether this treasure scroll is true or not.But this is the world of martial arts, what is impossible?That being said, if you have the opportunity, you can inquire about it.To revive Daming, how can we do it without money?
The two strong men spoke louder and louder, attracting the attention of many diners in the restaurant.The expressions of the diners were also different, some nodded slightly, some shook their heads lightly, and some sneered and disdainfully.

At this time, the white and strong man said, "Senior brothers, don't talk anymore. If you continue talking, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang's dog legs will come to trouble us!"

The burly man with cheeks said disdainfully, "Fuck the fuck! Those bastards dare to trouble us quacks?"

Having said that, the conversation of the three of them ended here, and they all buried themselves in the food and wine.

Qin Shuhuai listened with gusto, and felt a little regretful when the three of them stopped there.However, the four words "Three Treasures Secret Volume" have been deeply imprinted in his mind.

　Although there will be many schemes and calculations in this book, it is not dark, sunny, passionate, and will not be a harem stallion.The book has been signed, please feel free to read it.
