I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 267

Chapter 266

Looking at the whip in Sun Zhishen's hand, Cheng Jialong was not too nervous.Everyone can shout slogans, but not everyone can do practical things.

I am Marshal Ning Haijun, the eldest son of Hai Guogong, and I blame my father for laying a good foundation. Now my position is as stable as a mountain. If this Sun Zhichen really dares to smack me, then we will wait until later, and we will settle the score after autumn.

Even if there is oppression, there will be resistance wherever there is. Li Zhi dares to clean up even his own uncle and grandson Wuji, let alone Cheng Jialong himself.

Of course, on the surface it has to be passable.

Cheng Jialong said with a look of panic: "Dad, don't worry, I will be obedient!"

Cheng Jialong smiled faintly in his heart: "It's strange to be obedient!"

Cheng Jialong was born rebellious and rebellious. When he was in the later generations, he only realized that Cheng Shijie was not easy, so he tolerated everything, otherwise, Cheng Shijie might be pissed to death.When Cheng Jialong was in the fourth grade, the English teacher deliberately spot-checked his homework, and every time he encountered that he couldn't do it, he would ask him questions and make him embarrassing in front of his classmates.He spent more than three months imitating the English teacher's notes and writing a love letter to the tall, handsome and married director of the teaching and research group.

It's just that Cheng Jialong didn't understand the world of adults at the time, even though the director of the teaching and research group had a wife, they were still together...

Not to mention that as long as Cheng Shijie beats him, he will release Cheng Shijie's electric car valve core, or unplug the charging cable while Cheng Shijie is charging, and let Cheng Shijie walk to work.

Sun Zhichen looked at Cheng Jialong's expression, he was too familiar with this, and his own son was also like this. Usually, Sun Zhichen was often taken care of by his father. Of course, in Sun Zhichen's view, Cheng Jialong was the young master, as long as he could get by , he will definitely not use the whip given by Cheng Shijie.

You must know that mastering this whip is both power and shackles.

No one wants to have a father on their head. If Cheng Shijie is really gone, if he is given this whip and makes himself a life-saving minister, Cheng Jialong will probably be the first to kill himself.

Sun Zhichen is now the second director of the Liaodong Management Committee, equivalent to the chief assistant of the cabinet of Ming Dynasty, and he is in charge of this supreme whip, which also puts him under great pressure.

"Don't worry, Marshal, Yongyan will definitely urge the good young master to study hard!"

"So good!"

Cheng Shijie did not set off immediately, but went back to the later generations first, and told Xiang Hui that he had enrolled Cheng Jialong in a Mathematical Olympiad training camp. Although he was isolated for a month, he embarked on the journey.

After Cheng Jialong came to Liaodong, all walks of life in Liaodong were shocked. Almost every day, people came to see Mr. Cheng, and they looked familiar.Cheng Jialong was just like a puppet, cordially meeting all the guests.

In Cheng Jialong's impression, the Ming Dynasty was ignorant, lacking in materials, poor in spirit, weak in the jungle and so on.

Having been in this era for so long, Cheng Jialong deeply felt that it was true that the strong preyed on the weak, and that ignorance and spiritual poverty might also be possible, but there was no shortage of materials in Liaodong.

Especially in Jinzhou, the materials are simply not too rich, all kinds of materials are piled up like mountains, the market is full of delicacies from all over the world, and the price of beef is unbelievably low.

In later generations, chicken should be regarded as the cheapest meat, followed by pork. Beef and mutton are luxury goods. Without a certain economic capacity, it is impossible to realize the freedom of beef.Even with Cheng Shijie's income, it's rare for Cheng Jialong to eat beef or mutton a few times a year.

But in Liaodong, you can buy raw beef for 590 yuan, which is 110 grams, and the wages of 230 ordinary workers can buy 690 catties, which is about [-] kilograms, or about [-] kilograms. Converted, the purchasing power of Ming Dynasty workers' wages is equivalent to [-] yuan in later generations.

What surprised Cheng Jialong was that French fries were eaten in the Ming Dynasty. Except for French fries, many foods of later generations can be seen on Daming’s dining table, such as mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie, and junk food of later generations. Fighter, all kinds of fried chicken.

In Liaodong, the most popular food is this kind of fried chicken. It is not only cheap, but also tastes quite good. Cheng Jialong took Cheng Jiayue to stroll along the main street.

There are many bars in Jinzhou. Because there is too much food, they are only brewed to consume food. Not only are there many bars, but there are also many types of wine, not only rice wine, rice wine, shochu, wine, but also rum and whiskey.

Cheng Jialong was an eye-opener. The underground sewage pipes are like a huge spider web extending in all directions. There is not a single drop of sewage on the streets of Jinzhou; Turn on the tap and there will be inexhaustible supply.

On the wide and flat street, four-wheeled carriages either carry people or loads, drifting by, shop signs are everywhere, and you can see several large grocery stores on just one street, in fact, they are supermarkets, buddy He shouted hoarsely to offer rewards to guests, not letting go of any potential customers.

Their frighteningly large store occupies several floors, with books, calligraphy and paintings, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, rice noodles, vegetables, fruits, shoes, socks and cloth, everything you need, and most of them follow the route of small profits but quick turnover, as can be seen from the hanging signs, like The necessities of life such as rice noodles, fruits and vegetables, shoes, socks and cloth are quite cheap, and the prices are so low that it is unheard of.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no poor people in Liaodong. Jinzhou is actually the same. Some people are rich and some are poor, and there are quite a few poor people.

Cheng Jialong passed a crossroad and came to a square. Everyone saw a long line of people in scanty clothes, and several government servants were carrying rice and green vegetables. Everyone went forward one by one to get them.

The dishes are not rich, but there is enough oil and water, and everyone eats very deliciously.

Cheng Jialong asked someone to find out that these miscellaneous grains were old grains donated by the owners of various grain shops, and the vegetables were collected from various supermarkets. They were brought to the designated place before they were sold out that day. Naturally, someone washed and cooked them to become these. Meals for the homeless.

While the refugees were eating, a man who looked like a manager yelled with a tin horn: "We need to hire ten beaters and cement movers at the construction site. They will manage three meals a day. Dry ones, two dishes and one soup, and fat meat for dinner." , the wages are settled once a day, forty Wen a day, who is interested?"

"We need to build a canal in our town, and we need [-] strong laborers! Three meals a day, dry, two vegetables and one soup, fat meat to eat every day, forty yuan a day's wages, can be settled every day, or wait until the completion of the project One-time settlement, those who want to work come over!"

"Our carpentry factory needs carpenters, [-] yuan a day, four dishes and one soup, you can eat whatever you want, and the wages are settled monthly..."

Jinzhou also has garbage stations, relief stations, nursing homes, banks, supermarkets, farmers markets, street lights...

Everything is so familiar to Cheng Jialong, that is to say, Cheng Shijie, a time traveler, has done almost everything he can.

"Master Chen, long time no see, let's go drink!"

"It's good to drink, Mr. Li, I like you, a scholar who is both civil and military, and very chivalrous. Let's have a good drink today, and we will never get drunk!"

Cheng Jialong heard that the passers-by on the street were going to drink, and he also wanted to experience it.

"Jiayue, shall we go to the bar too?"

"No, Dad said children can't drink alcohol!"
"I'm not a kid anymore, I'm 13 years old!"

"That's a minor too!"

"Leave me alone!"

But Cheng Jiayue said: "If you dare to go, I will tell Dad and let Dad spank your ass!"

"I'm just going to see it!"

"That can't go either!"

"you are vicious!"

Cheng Jiayue followed Cheng Jialong, so that Cheng Jialong had no chance to go to the bar.

After all, Cheng Jialong was older than Cheng Jiayue, and he had more thoughts. He took the initiative to take Cheng Jiayue for a stroll. From the south city to the north city, Cheng Jiayue was exhausted. After she had eaten and drank enough.

Cheng Jialong looked at the guards beside him and said, "Send Missy back to the mansion!"

"My son, what about you?"

"I, I'm going to observe the people's sentiments!"

Zheng Sen, now 12 years old, has become one of Cheng Jialong's close followers.Besides Zheng Sen, there was also Shi Lang.Shi Lang smiled: "My lord, come here with the little one, let's go here to understand the people's sentiments!"

Shi Lang had the potential to be a treacherous minister at a very young age. He saw that Cheng Jialong wanted to go to the tavern, and thought that Cheng Shijie was too strict with Cheng Jialong, and now Cheng Jialong wanted to drink.

Shi Lang led Cheng Jialong into a bar. Of course, this was a relatively traditional tavern. Although there was a word difference between a tavern and a bar, they represented two completely different business concepts.Anyone who has been to KTV must know that mass-market KTV is obviously different from commercial KTV.

Entering the door, there are several huge wine jars, and there are words written with a brush on the wine jars, which are Erguotou, Zhuyeqing, Sishui Huadiao, Fenjiu, Shaojiu, rice wine, rice wine, etc.

Then there is a large hall with several square tables and long stools in front of the tables. On a small stage near the inside, there is a man and a woman playing the erhu and beating the snare drum. Babbling and singing a ditty.

A clerk wearing a clerk's blue blouse rushed forward to greet him: "Guest, what kind of wine do you want to eat? Our small shop has all kinds of famous wines from all over the world!"

"Is there beer?"

"There is no beer in the store. If you need it, Xiaodi can buy it for you!"

Cheng Jialong was a little disappointed, unlike the bar in the legend, although there were women in the bars of the later generations, seven of the ten women were prostitutes, and there were special workers, who would go to the bars for serious women?Even for women, the quality is not high.

When Cheng Jialong was about to leave, he suddenly found a semi-open booth near the window at the back of the tavern. Inside was a woman disguised as a man. She was dressed in men's clothing, but her capital was very rich, and she couldn't hide it no matter what. live.From Cheng Jialong's perspective, he couldn't see the opponent's appearance clearly, but judging from the curves of his body, his slim back looked seventy or eighty percent.

Seeing Cheng Jialong staring in the direction of the booth, Shi Lang, Cheng Jialong's follower, hurriedly asked the clerk in the tavern.

Not long after, Shi Lang came back and reported to Cheng Jialong: "My lord, I found out!"

"Oh, who is the other party?"

Shi Lang said: "The other party is the Xing family!"

"Xing family?"

Cheng Jialong looked puzzled: "I haven't heard of it, what is your background?"

"It is said that this Xing family was originally the wife of the rogue Li Zicheng. Later, he had an affair with Li Zicheng's general Gao Jie. Fearing that Li Zicheng would find out, they ran away and joined the former governor of Denglaisun. They came to Liaodong half a month ago!"

Shi Lang saw that Cheng Jialong was really not interested, so he didn't have anything to say.

Cheng Jialong was indeed not interested, he vaguely remembered that Gao Jie must have surrendered to the Ming Dynasty in August of the eighth year of Chongzhen.In fact, last year, in August of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Governor Chen Qiyu sent to attack Li Zicheng's department. Li Zicheng was surrounded and was in a very difficult situation.Li Zicheng asked Gao Jie to write a letter to congratulate Renlong on the rebellion, but Gao Jie did not reply.When the envoy came back, he met Gao Jie first, and then Li Zicheng.

Li Zicheng suspected Gao Jie in his heart, so he sent another general to replace him, and let Gao Jie come back to guard the barracks. During the guarding of the barracks, Gao Jie fell in love with Li Zicheng's wife Xing Shi. She was pregnant, but during this time Li Zicheng did not have sex with Xing Shi at all. Xing Shi was worried that the matter between her and Gao Jie would be revealed, so Xing Shi and Gao Jie met and fled.

Gao Jie and Xing's old department, a total of more than 30 people agreed to betray Li Zicheng. Before they left, they took away Li Zicheng's wealth that he had collected over the years, including more than 200 taels of gold. There are more than [-] million taels of silver.

After voluntarily surrendering to Sun Yuanhua, Sun Yuanhua had never heard of Gao Jie's name, and thought that the Xing family was Gao Jie's wife. He extorted more than [-] taels of silver from Gao Jie and the Xing family, and sold Gao Jie and the Xing family to Cheng Shijie.

Cheng Jialong is not interested in old women, but the problem is that sometimes, if you don't look for trouble, it doesn't mean there is nothing wrong.

Just like now, when Shi Lang was taking the money to pay the bill, two scholars who felt good about themselves in the booth next door went directly to Xing Shi to moles Xing Shi.

Of course, if this matter is put in later generations, it will be a strike-up. The so-called strike-up is actually just an excuse for hooligans.It's just that Xing is a rose with thorns, and she dismisses the two scholars.One must know that Li Zicheng's army captured a lot of scholars, and the Xing family was too aware of the embarrassment of those scholars.

But the problem is that these two scholars obviously just came to Liaodong, and they don't understand the rules of Liaodong at all. After being rejected, they still wanted to pester each other.

"Baby maid, how dare you insult me!"

The scholar whose face was splashed with alcohol blushed instantly, and he raised his hand high, wanting to teach the disrespectful woman in front of him a lesson.

"stop!"

Cheng Jialong didn't need to make a sound, the clerk in the store hurriedly said: "Put down your hand, or I will report to the police!"

While talking, the guy who was originally harmless to humans and animals, the waiter, and the chef in the kitchen all lit up guys. They were holding kitchen knives or horizontal knives in their hands. The drinker also rushed over with a ladle.

Mr. Long Cheng of the Cheng family looked surprised. People from Liaodong are so fierce, they will touch them at the slightest disagreement?

These two scholars in blue gowns were not afraid, but said proudly, "What are you doing? You untouchables, do you know who we are?"

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, is the general term for the four types of people in ancient times. The so-called four peoples in ancient times refer to those who are officials, those who work in agriculture, those who work in various industries, and those who do business.As long as a scholar has the fame of a scholar, he has already left the civilian class. Taking the Ming Dynasty as an example, a scholar was not only exempted from hard labor, did not kneel before seeing an official, but also enjoyed the preferential exemption of money and food from [-] acres of land (Wanli period). If there is a way, at least the scholars will not be afraid of freezing and starving.There are also some scholars who even take on lawsuits in one county, earning considerable income.

They have a psychological advantage when facing ordinary people.

As the two scholars yelled at the people around them, these people felt a little guilty.

As the saying goes, the people don't fight with officials, the poor don't fight with the rich, and the common people can't fight with scholars. This is the truth.Taking the law of the Ming Dynasty as an example, it is normal for scholars to insult civilians, but it is a crime for ordinary people to insult scholars, and it is a crime of evil, and the maximum sentence can be hanged.

"Shut up, it's none of your business, step back!"

"You have no place to speak here!"

The attitudes of the two scholars became more and more domineering, and their gazes at Xing became more and more unscrupulous.

In the eyes of the two scholars, a woman who can come to a tavern to drink is absolutely impossible to be a woman from a good family. If she is a woman from a good family, they really dare not mess with it.

Seeing this, Cheng Jialong became excited. He was asked not to cause trouble, but the problem is that now he is justified. He looked at Shi Lang and said, "Shi Lang, it shouldn't be a problem for me to teach these two hooligans a lesson, right?"

"rogue?"

Shi Lang was a little puzzled. The hooligans of the Ming Dynasty and the hooligans of the later generations were two completely different concepts. People without land were called liu, and hooligans without property.

Zheng Sen said: "Teach them a lesson, of course!"

Just when two scholars came to Xing, Xing picked up the plate and threw it out.

"Hey, it's still a little fierce horse!"

"Delicious, I like it!"

"stop!"

When Cheng Jialong stood up, the two scholars glanced at Cheng Jialong, and saw that Cheng Jialong was dressed in Chinese clothes, and there were two young companions beside him, and the clothes were actually silk.

Obviously, they saw that Cheng Jialong's identity was not simple.

"who are you?"

Cheng Jialong got up and said calmly: "Don't worry about who I am, you just need me to beat you two up! Shi Lang, Zheng Sen, give it to me!"

"Oh, my hair hasn't grown yet, and I'm still jealous like others.

"Go home and get some milk!"

Cheng Jialong was ecstatic in his heart. He practiced Sanda for more than three years. He suffered a lot, but he never dared to fight anyone.

Now, he can finally give it a go.

Cheng Jialong stood up like a little tiger, and kicked directly in the face of the scholar who scolded him for going home to nurse.

In all fairness, Cheng Jialong's skill is really not enough in Daming, after all, he has learned the castrated Sanda fighting technique, if it is against ordinary people, even adults, it is really not enough.But the problem is that he is facing two scholars who are helpless.

These scholars are absolutely smooth when they want to talk, curse, and play tricks.But the problem is, Cheng Jialong hits whenever he says, and kicks from the side.

"boom……"

Cheng Jialong kicked the scholar in the face firmly. The scholar closed his eyes and fell to the ground, knocking over a table.

hula...

Plates, saucers, and wine glasses were scattered all over the table.

The scholar who was splashed with wine by Xing Shi was smart, and he knew what to do in this situation. He said to Xing Shi, "I'm sorry, I apologize to you!"

The scholar was afraid that he would be beaten if he moved too slowly. After Cheng Jialong kicked down a scholar, Shi Lang picked up a stool and Zheng Sen picked up a wine jar. dead hand.

Xing took out a piece of silver from her bosom, and slapped it on the table: "Forget about it, I'll invite everyone to drink!"

"Thank you ma'am!"

All the drinkers became enthusiastic.

Cheng Jialong waved his hands and said, "Let's go!"

Xing stood in front of Cheng Jialong: "My lord, I'll buy you a drink too! Are you in a hurry to leave?"

Cheng Jialong: "See you later!"

Shi Lang looked at Cheng Jialong with some puzzlement: "My lord..."

"Come on!"

If Cheng Jialong didn't see that this was a play, then it would have been a waste of time to learn it. The one who provoked the trouble was definitely on the same side as the Xing family, and this was a game against him.

Cheng Jialong actually guessed very wrong.

Just after Cheng Jialong left, Gao Jie came out from behind, and two scholars also got up from the ground, especially the one who pretended to be dizzy, spat out a mouthful of blood: "This little guy has a lot of tricks!"

Xing smiled wryly and said, "We screwed up this scene, he saw it!"

In fact, this is not a game against Cheng Jialong, but a game against the rich and powerful in Liaodong. Regardless of whether Cheng Jialong comes or not, as long as they see someone with a little status appearing in the store, a similar drama will be staged .

There is no other way. After Gao Jie and the Xing family betrayed Li Zicheng, they originally wanted to defect to the army. However, Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zicheng are now beating the army. Gao Jie and the Xing family are afraid. Li Zicheng called.

What they most want to rely on is actually Cheng Shijie's Ning Haijun, but it is a pity that Ning Haijun has not yet recruited troops before fully digesting the 10,000+ men of the Zheng Group.

"What should we do now?"

"This road won't work!"

The Xing family is a woman with power and means, and she can be regarded as one of the strange women in the Ming Dynasty.

"Is this play still on?"

"Stop acting!"

Xing said: "I'm sorry that the child can't catch the wolf, we have money now, why don't we take the money and see if we can knock on Deputy Director Yang's door!"

Gao Jie was a little undecided: "What if they take the money and don't do anything?"

Xing said with a smile: "There are risks in doing anything, the key is whether you want to do it or not! If you are afraid, the two of us will open a small shop. With our current money, it will take ten lifetimes to spend!"

"Fight!"

Gao Jie slammed his fist hard on the table.

A man cannot be powerless for a day
