Chapter 232 231. Cao Shaoqing's visit

Laziness is a really powerful reason.

At least the flower is full of clothes.

His chest was tight.

"Brother Chen, I will personally follow up on this matter. The Hua family will accompany Brother Chen on this trip."

"Don't think about it anymore? After all, the Hua family has been established for many years, so we still have to be careful."

Chen Jiu felt that he had agreed too readily, so instead he persuaded Huamanlou.

"Cough cough cough."

Hua Manlou couldn't help coughing a few times, feeling a little helpless.

"Brother Chen, if you continue talking, Hua will really retreat."

"Uh, forget it."

Chen Jiu felt that there was no need to be polite. Even if there was nothing he could do, he could still save the Hua family. At worst, it would be the next best thing. Whoever was chosen by Tianmen, he would follow suit and finish the job.

But the premise is that Di Shitian doesn't know his secret, otherwise he will be divided into life and death.

In fact, it is still too early to say these things, and there are still more than nine years to go, and no one can say for sure what it will develop into.

Chen Jiu didn't bother anymore.

It's good news that Hua's family is on board.

The next thing to do is to coordinate the entire Jiangnan region and pull out the forces hidden in it one by one.

Zhu Wushi asked Shangguan Haitang to go to the south of the Yangtze River to consolidate forces, and happened to act together with the Hua family of the local emperor in the south of the Yangtze River. The two families were in the open, and Chen Jiu was in the dark.

In fact, Chen Jiu didn't expect that Zhengde demoted him to Liudu Yingtian Mansion, which happened to be convenient for him.

Now he still has the trump card of Jin Yiwei in his hand. As the leader of the largest armed forces on the surface, it is really easy to do something.

It is a pity that the soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River are generally weak in combat power. Since ancient times, only one Danyang elite soldier can fight. The naturally weak side, the only naval army that can fight, also gradually lost its combat power because of the sea ban. This problem was not until the Mu Zong period. Only then did it get better, and now is the most vulnerable time during the Zhengde period.

So now if you want to pull out a king's division in Jiangnan, you need to spend hundreds or even thousands of times.

There is no way to do it. There are many rich and prosperous places in the south of the Yangtze River, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. Compared with the poor areas, the blood is definitely not comparable.

Whoever eats enough and wears warm clothes will think about fighting bravely.

Which industry in the south of the Yangtze River is the most developed.

entertainment industry.

The Suzhou-Hangzhou area is known as a gentle town all the time, because it is warm and full of thoughts.

There is also a reason why the emperor threw him to the south of the Yangtze River and gave him a part-time job as the head of the local military attache.

If you want to rebel, you must have strong soldiers, right?

Otherwise, what are you rebelling against.

Chen Jiu stayed in Huajiabao for a few more days, drinking and drinking with Huamanlou every day, chatting about future plans, and after formulating some preliminary action plans, he returned to Jinling.

He, the top leader, ran around every day, and Jinyiwei Jinling Township was still functioning well.

To put it bluntly, it's the same with him or without him. Everyone has the mentality of dawdling. Jiangnan has been at peace for a long time, and there is nothing to be busy about.

But a few days before the Chinese New Year, people from Beijing came to visit.

No, it cannot be called a visit either.

Cao Shaoqing looked at Chen Jiu proudly.

"Haha, Master Chen, our family is here to accompany you."

"."

Looking at the eunuch, Chen Jiu felt a little bit pained.

Chinese New Year is coming soon, why is it so unlucky.

Did Zhengde really send someone to monitor him?
"Eunuch Cao, don't tell me that you have been demoted to guard the imperial tomb."

"how is this possible!"

Cao Shaoqing quickly defended himself.

"Didn't you offend Mr. Chen before? Our family thought that Mr. Chen might not be used to living in Jiangnan, so we discussed it with my uncle and came to accompany Mr. Chen."

Chen Jiu raised his eyebrows.

Accompany him?

Why do I have the idea of ​​​​cutting this product.

"Father-in-law, you're being polite. I didn't pay attention to the previous things, and my father-in-law did the right thing. As for not getting used to it, I live quite comfortably here."

This is the truth, Chen Jiu was originally from Jiangsu Province in his previous life, so how could he be uncomfortable when he returned to his hometown.

If it is said that he was not used to it, he could only count it when he was in Shuntian Mansion. Whether it was the diet or the climate, he had to adapt for a long time before he reluctantly accepted it.

The food culture of Daming is definitely incomparable with later generations. Although Shuntian Mansion is the capital, the food is really not good. What can be called gourmet food is all kinds of stir-fried fish. It’s okay to try it occasionally. Chen Jiu almost vomited after eating this stuff every day.

Shenhou Mansion's good habit of eating hot pot every day is actually the most comfortable period of his life, although this habit is actually a heresy.

At this time, the hot pot was called the stove, which was a convenient way to eat, and it was a cheap food for the common people. The upper class didn't like it, and the common people didn't think it was delicious.

It's just boiled vegetables in plain water. There are such things as offal, but no one would find the smell delicious.

The so-called old BJ's mutton with a long history has nothing to do with the catering industry in Shuntian Prefecture.

The earliest historical record that the royal family liked this delicacy was created by the barbarians in Yuanting for convenience. This is their custom, but after occupying the Central Plains, they were basically excluded from the powerful class.

The so-called banquet of thousands of seniors held by the two emperors Kang and Qian had this dish, but it was just a stewed version, and when ordinary people eat it, can there be so many seasonings prepared by the palace.

Think about it, in the era of lack of condiments, it is considered a good life for the common people who can afford to eat salt. How can the common people have spare money to buy all kinds of seasonings?

Even if Shuntian Prefecture is a capital city, there are many people who can't afford salt, let alone all kinds of seasonings. Ordinary people can enjoy a meal of barbecue with spices for a month.

Therefore, hot pot is basically only eaten by poor people, and people don’t know how to put meat, they all eat pots, so what kind of meat do you have?

When the poor can eat meat, they won't waste it in boiling it with white water.

The poor are just poor, not stupid.

Yuan people in this world have not been contaminated with the artifacts of the Central Plains, so during these years in the capital, Chen Jiu ate pig food, but it was definitely not to his liking. All the trips to Zuiyuelou were eating with tears in my eyes.

It's all right now, back in the south of the Yangtze River, the names of all kinds of dishes make my mouth water, Cao Shaoqing thinks that Chen Jiu will not be used to it, it's entirely his own imagination.

Chen Jiu lived comfortably every day.

There is no emperor who wants to be accommodating. When he is an absolute talker and eats according to his appetite, how can he feel aggrieved.

He even wanted to thank Cao Shaoqing.

Little Eunuch Cao wanted to say something more, but Chen Jiu changed the subject.

"Elder-in-law won't do it at the big stage. It's unnecessary to go to the countryside to suffer. It's better to go back earlier. Governor Cao should be short of manpower at this time."

Cao Shaoqing felt a little wronged.

In fact, it was Cao Zhengchun's order that he would come to Jiangnan.

He brought a bad news for Chen Jiu.

"Master Chen, Uncle said you have to be prepared."
