lady, please calm down

Chapter 165 The Dust Settles

Chapter 165 The Dust Settles
The sixth day of September.

The end of Shen.

Bai Renli, the magistrate of Caizhou, led his senior and senior officials out to greet Zuo Guoen and his party ten miles away.

Enter the city in the evening.

Zhang Chunxiao, the appeasement envoy of Henan Road who came with the imperial envoy, saw that the city was really in order as stated in Bai Renli's memorandum, so he couldn't help but turned his head and took a look behind the team entering the city.

Sitting on the back of the horse, the boy Angzang was still dressed in soap, but he was somewhat majestic.

Judging by his face and demeanor, he really doesn't look like a treacherous person.

After arriving at the government office, Zuo Guoen and others didn't bother to eat the wind wine, so they asked Chen Chu for questioning in the second hall.

Both inside and outside the government office were people brought by Chen Chu. Zuo Guoen and Cao Xiaojian didn't know what kind of temperament this handsome Chen Dutou had, so they hesitated and dared not speak.

On the contrary, Zhang Chunxiao knew that his side represented the majesty of the imperial court at this time. If he was too weak and cowardly, he would inevitably leave an impression of 'the imperial court can be bullied' in the heart of this daring young man.

So he bit the bullet and scolded first.

The main idea is: even if Zheng Yi was at fault, it would be a serious crime for you to bring the soldiers and civilians of Tongshan into Caizhou, but it is because of your meritorious service in protecting the people of Tongshan, so I don’t care about you for the time being. She must not act so recklessly again.

Chen Chu, who was at the bottom, didn't show any anger when he heard the words, but had a respectful attitude.

Seeing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

This time the Caizhou and Tongshan rebellion, although there was an unexpected situation where the two poles reversed.

But at any rate, the two places quickly stabilized, and there was no situation where there was too much corruption and no end, which was considered the best result.

Seeing Chen Chu's good attitude, Cao Xiaojian, the eunuch in front of the palace, dared to speak a few words of encouragement.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more harmonious.

Chen Chu took the opportunity to take out several copies of the property list of the Zheng family and handed it over to the adults.

"200 taels of silver were excavated in the government office of the capital, and 4000 taels of silver were excavated from the Zheng family's old house in Yinmazhuang, a total of 200 taels
Inventory of [-] mu of land in Zhengjialang Mountain, and three other farms."

Zuo Guoen and Cao Xiaojian looked at each other, but they were silent.

It's hard for them to figure out how much Tibetan silver the Zheng family has, but the land property is definitely more than that.

This is what Chen Dutou risked his life to kill. You can eat more, but this appetite is too big.

It's not easy for us to travel. You ate the meat and left some soup, but in the end there was only a little tasteless meat residue
"My lords, I dare not forget to worry about the country when I'm humble. Now the country's affairs are difficult, all because of moths like the Zheng family. These two fields of silver are collected into the national treasury. It can be counted as our military and civilians in Tongshan who have contributed to the country."

Chen Chu said righteously.

Zuo Guoen became even more depressed when he heard the words. It's just such a little food, what the fuck can I eat if I hand it over to the treasury?What does the official Shangfeng eat?I have to bring some souvenirs to the leader when I come out!

This little official really doesn't know anything!

No, Chen Chu showed embarrassment again: "Besides, my subordinates found a batch of hidden fields during the investigation of the Zheng family's property. I don't know how to deal with it. My lords, please make up your mind."

After all, Chen Chu took out another list.

'Another [-] mu of hidden land was investigated, and more than [-] taels of silver were obtained from the seven farms of the farm'

Tut tut, sincerity, this is sincerity!

The first list is for viewing. The search of the suspected traitor Zheng Yi's family property was turned over to the state treasury, which was an explanation to the court and the officials.

The second list is for eating.
"Hahaha, Chen Dutou is not very old, but he is a wonderful person, hahaha."

Zuo Guoen smiled heartily, and discussed in a low voice with Cao Xiaojian on the spot how to divide the industries on the second list.

Zuo Guoen swipe left and slap right, and went straight to ask for less than half of the property.

It was the first time for Cao Xiaojian to go out to work in the palace, and he was obviously not Zuo Guoen's opponent, so his face was red in contention.

Seeing this, Zhang Chunxiao couldn't help sighing silently.

Daqi is now riddled with holes, but officials of all sizes only have self-interest in their eyes
But Zhang Chunxiao knew that what Zuo Guoen took was not only for his own share, Fan Gongzhi, the minister of the Ministry of War behind him, and Li Bangyan, the current prime minister behind Fan Gongzhi, who was not allowed to have a share?
As the saying goes, if you don't take it, I won't take it, how will the princes of the court take it.

Zhang Chunxiao sighed, and suddenly said: "Recently, because of the Tongshan incident, I ran away and scrapped several pairs of boots, so I have to leave 5000 taels of shoe money for me."

In the next few days, Chen Jing'an accompanied several adults to eat, drink, travel around Caizhou City, and took over the land and manor that Shangguan had arranged for.

They didn't take these properties in vain, and the condition was that Chen Chu could find the post of commander of the left-behind department of Caizhou.

In this regard, there are differences in the court.

At the meeting of the tenth court at the beginning of September, Wu Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice said: "It is Zheng Yi who has the heart of rebellion, but that little capital, who dares to go straight into the capital of Caizhou, must be a domineering person. Let this person be the ruler of the capital. Raising tigers is a threat!"

However, Fan Shangshu of the Ministry of War said: "Now that Chen Chu has actually occupied Caizhou, if he uses brute force to drive it away, the war will inevitably resume! Now we have no soldiers to transfer, and Caizhou is on the border. If there is chaos on the border, Wu Shangshu will bring Are people going to flatten?"

"You! Conscript and raise soldiers when there are no soldiers to transfer. If I set this precedent, wouldn't everyone dare to lead troops to occupy the state capital in the future?"

"Conscript and raise soldiers? To put it lightly, your Ministry of Criminal Justice will provide you with money and food? Besides, after entering the city, Chen Chu didn't disturb the people or hurt the officials, and he was clearly willing to be an official of our Daqi. People who are so devoted to the court, just happened to be taken in for the country's use." How can there be any reason to drive people out, if you really want to drive him back, Wu Shangshu is responsible?"

Seeing that the two were blushing and thick-necked like street shrews, Li Bangyan, the prime minister who was the head of all officials, said with a smile, "Speaking of this person, there is an interesting story."

Daqi Emperor Liu Yu, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the Daqing Hall, looked up at the noisy courtiers in the hall, and said wearily, "Oh? What's interesting?"

"A few days ago when he explained the matter on the table, he actually asked for an imperial order for his wife at the end of the table."

As soon as Li Bangyan finished speaking, all the officials couldn't help showing strange smiles.

Do you dare to ask for orders for your wife even if you are a little head?
I'm afraid I'll lose my mind
But Li Bangyan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Although this person does not understand etiquette and rules, there is no doubt that his heart is toward me."

The ministers immediately understood what Li Bangyan meant. He asked the imperial court for an imperial order, which showed that this son agreed with Daqi as orthodox in his heart.

You must know that since Liu Yu ascended the throne, he has recruited many old officials from the previous dynasties to serve as officials, and most of them shirk with various excuses.

After all, these people do not recognize their golden puppet regime.

What is lacking in all those who win the country is orthodox identity.

Fan Gongzhi, Minister of the Ministry of War, couldn't help but glanced at Li Bangyan, who was over fifty years old but still handsome and elegant, and thought: It's Li Xianggong who can scratch the itch of the official family.
Liu Yu on the dragon chair really showed a smile, "This is Chen. Chen."

"Chen Chu." Li Bangyan reminded.

September sixteenth.

At the hour of the hour, the autumn wind is slightly cool.

A group of imperial envoys suddenly came to Caizhou city without prior notice, which caught Bai Renli by surprise.

After the imperial envoy entered the city, he went straight to the capital's yamen.

Then the decree was read.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Decree:
Chen Chu, the former capital of Tongshan County, led the army and civilians of Tongshan to fight against the rebels in times of crisis, and kept the side safe.”

When Chen Chu heard that the imperial decree was for him, he probably guessed the content.

However, when he heard "Fengcong Cong Wupin Yiwei doctor, leading Caizhou to stay in charge of the capital", he was still stunned for a moment, why is it a "generational capital control"?
"On behalf of" means that you are still a temporary worker!

In addition, Cao Xiaojian was also appointed as the supervisor of the left-behind department.

The so-called "all supervisors" are actually supervisors of the army.

However, in the past, only when the generals led the army, would the post of capital supervisor be set up in the army, and the servants would fill it.

The left-behind division of Caizhou only governs four Xiang armies stationed in the local area, so how can there be a capital prison?

It's 'dai' and 'dujian' again, this Daqi highlights a 'suspect people want to use it, and use it if they use it'!
At the end of the imperial decree, Chen Chu was pleasantly surprised.

".His wife, Mrs. Zhao, is Shushen, mature in nature, diligent and submissive, graceful and pure, and gentle in nature. After writing it, she was named Bapin Anren."

Chen Chu begged for the order for Mao'er, but he just thought about whether he would give it a shot, but he did not expect to give it.

In fact, Chen Chu didn't care whether he was ordered or not, but he knew that Mao Er, who had always had a little inferiority complex in his heart, would like it.

It's a pity that Mao'er is not in Caizhou at this time.

Thinking of this, Chen Chu did another unruly thing after receiving the decree, "Excuse me, please go to Tongshan to read it again."

The young eunuch had no time to refuse, so a yellow gold ingot was stuffed into his hand.

As soon as the imperial decree came out, it meant that the imperial court had determined the matter of Tongshan and Caizhou.

After nearly a month of turmoil, the incident finally settled.

In Sajin Lane in Fucheng, Yu Nong took Cui Yuan and Bai Lu to visit a six-entry mansion that was just taken over a few days ago.

With such a big house, Yunong can have her own independent yard.

The giggling never stopped.

But suddenly he heard a report from the door, saying that it was the lady who is the proprietor of Wen's business in the city who came to visit.

Yu Nong was a little confused, she had been in Caizhou for a few days, and she had never dealt with other women's family members, let alone the eldest lady of the Wen family firm.

What is she doing at the door?

Before she could figure it out, Menzi reported again: Commander Zhu of the Jing'an Army sent a greeting card from the lady
Next, the Gao Family Grain Shop and the Jiang Family Pawnshop.
Yunong was a little scared.

that compartment.

The imperial envoy traveled slowly. In order to let Maoer know the news earlier and make some preparations in advance, Chen Chu asked Da Lang to send someone to Tongshan to report the news.

But... there are people who set off earlier than the messenger.

Miao Xin, son of Lin'an merchant Miao Kui
A few days ago, when the two places stabilized one after another, Miao Kui sent his son to Caizhou.

Miao Kui has a very keen sense of smell in the business. Last time when Tongshan was in turmoil, he took the risk of buying a lot of stocks while the stock price of the Four Seas Trading Company plummeted.

Later, Tongshan's army and civilians won a big victory, and the stock price rebounded strongly. Miao Kui caught a glimpse of the business opportunity.

So he let his son stay in Caizhou, is to always pay attention to the 'good' or 'bad' news.

At Chenshi, Miao Xin galloped all the way to Tongshan County alone.

Finally arrived at the Shizipo Sihai Commercial Bank stock exchange at the end of the day.

After receiving the letter, Miao Kui exchanged pleasant surprise glances with Chang Dechang, a businessman from Yingzhou, and immediately began to buy a large amount of goods in the exchange.

Seeing the two disregarding the price, and closing the stock when it was listed, the treasurer Ma said in a strange way: "I said, two brothers, the stock price has been bought by the two of you from 370 yuan for [-] yuan to [-] yuan for [-] yuan. If you continue to buy it, I’m afraid you will break the sixteenth guan.”

Miao Kui didn't explain, just chuckled, and said politely, "Don't you still have sixty shares in the hands of shopkeeper Ma? Do you want to take advantage of the current high price and sell it?"

During the Tongshan Rebellion, the treasurer Ma sold his stocks at a low price and suffered a small loss.

Later, when Tongshan won the big victory, he didn't enter the market in time, and watched the stock rise from seven to fifteen before making up his mind to buy sixty shares.

When he bought it, the stock price was 120 yuan and [-] yuan, but now it has risen to [-] yuan, and some of them have indeed made money.

"Sell? I don't sell." Knowing that both Miao and Chang have made less money, shopkeeper Ma feels more uncomfortable seeing others making money than losing money himself, so he has a bad attitude when speaking.

However, as soon as he said this, he turned around and secretly went to the exchange to list his stocks.

After only half a cup of tea, it was taken over at a high price of 810 yuan for [-] strings.

After the transaction was completed, the shopkeeper Ma did the math, and easily earned more than 40 pennies each time he entered and exited.
OK!At this time, the stock of the commercial bank is so high that it must not be able to rise, and when it falls, Youmiao and Chang will cry.

Shopkeeper Ma thought slightly darkly.

Just as he was thinking, he saw a dusty but happy knight rushing to the side of the cross slope.

Zhou Zulin, the city management team responsible for maintaining order here, hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, yelling, "No horses are allowed here!"

Then he saw clearly that the person immediately was Liu Baishun, and couldn't help but wonder: "Brother Baishun, aren't you in Caizhou? Why are you back?"

"Hahaha"

Liu Baishun laughed heartily without saying a word, and then said: "Find someone to inform the eldest lady, the imperial envoy will arrive later!"

"Imperial envoy?" Zhou Zulin was startled.

When did their small county receive imperial envoys?

The merchants and pedestrians nearby also stopped, wanting to hear what was going on while being surprised.

Liu Baishun did not lower his voice, instead he laughed loudly and said loudly: "This morning, the imperial envoy came to Caizhou City to announce the imperial decree, promote Chen Dutou to be the commander of the left-behind department of Caizhou, and make the eldest lady an eight-rank Anren! Let Zhuangzi prepare it!"

'coax~'

There was a sudden chaos outside the market, with laughter and discussions.

However, some merchants who reacted very quickly ran to the exchange.

Chen Dutou has been promoted!

That is to say, the territory of the Four Seas Commercial Bank can be expanded again. Only one Tongshan County Commercial Bank can earn so much money, plus a Caizhou Mansion, is it still worth it?
The horse shopkeeper who was one step late ran to the exchange and couldn't squeeze in, so he could only be blocked outside the door, watching the stock price go from 810 to [-] yuan to break through [-], [-], and [-].
By the time the stock market closed in the afternoon, the stock price had reached a high price of 25, but the momentum of soaring has not stopped!
Inside the Cross Slope Hotel.

Miao Kui and Chang Dechang sat by the window, overlooking the crowded exchange, and took a sip of Blue Bird beer.

There is quite a natural and unrestrained demeanor of "flick off the clothes after the matter, and hide the merit and fame deeply".

"Brother Miao, the price is not low, do you want to throw it away?" Chang Dechang laughed.

"Brother, what about you?" Miao Kui asked with a smile.

"I won't throw it away, this Cosmopolitan firm is worth long-term investment"

"Hahaha, I don't throw it away either, that's what I mean too."
