If I add money to become a layman, I can cultivate immortality

Chapter 60 The Beauty I Saw in 4000 Years (First Order Requested)

into the night.

A table of sumptuous food and wine was placed in the room, and master and apprentice Ding Xiu sat opposite each other.

Ding Xiu picked up the wine glass and said cheerfully: "Master, come, I will toast you a drink."

Ding Baiying picked up the wine glass and took a sip, her expression seemed unhappy.

Ding Xiu put down his wine glass and said, "Master, I know you are confused..."

"Of course I can't figure it out. You've just added several years of tax revenue to the treasury, which they use to recruit troops. And you, you keep saying you want to build..."

Speaking of this, Ding Baiying couldn't help but paused and subconsciously lowered her tone.After all, once others hear about rebellion, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Anyway, aren't you making yourself unhappy by doing this?"

Ding Xiu waved his hand and whispered: "No, no, no, master, everything must be divided into two and looked at. On the surface, this is indeed not good for us and adds a lot of difficulty.

But Master, you have to see clearly the current situation in the world.

Let’s first analyze the Ming Dynasty. Who wouldn’t be jealous of the sudden increase in money?Who is not greedy?

From the cabinet to the six ministries, as well as the six bureaus of the inner court, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and to the local government at all levels, who doesn't want to reach out for money?
Without this money, it would be okay. With this money, we will see how the quarrel in the court will turn out. People from one camp may turn against each other, causing the emperor a headache.

In short, today's Ming Dynasty has exhausted its strength and is just hanging on. Even if we can't afford the army, others will rise up.

Nowadays, the world is troubled by internal and external troubles. There are Tatars and Jurchens in the north, and Japanese pirates along the coast.

The Jurchens are ambitious, and once they have sufficient conditions, they will definitely invade the Central Plains.

When we raise troops at this time, the most happy people are probably the Jurchens. They are eager for us to fight to the death, and they just take advantage..."

After saying this, Ding Baiying did not refute. She could still see the situation clearly.

Ding Xiu continued: "What's more, although we have money now, we don't have a team that can carry the banner.

Therefore, the most important thing for us right now is to deal with the foreign enemies first and at the same time secretly accumulate strength..."

Hearing this, Ding Baiying couldn't help but said: "Don't just talk nice, tell me your detailed plan."

Ding Xiu smiled: "This disciple is not just talking about it, he is already making secret preparations."

"Oh?"

"First, hasn't the silver from the palace been shipped out?"

Ding Baiying snorted: "Did you do that? You're not the person I'm looking for."

"Yes, yes... let's talk about the second thing. Lu Jianxing will soon be transferred to Jinling, promoted to Qianhu, and will be in charge of a Qianhu office.

The junior brother will also go there with him, and when he gets there, he will be promoted to a hundred households. "

"Huh?" Ding Baiying couldn't help but be stunned: "Why did they want to be transferred to Jinling? Did they offend someone?"

Generally speaking, most of the Jinyi guards in the capital do not want to be transferred to Jinling, even if they are promoted to a higher level.

Although Jinling is a companion capital, it also has six departments, Jinyiwei and other institutions, but it is not on the same level as the capital.

Everyone knows that there are basically pension and casual employment institutions there, and most of the people who work there are the descendants of some meritorious officials, or officials who are too old to take care of things.

In short, there is far less room for development than in the capital.

If someone is suddenly transferred to Jinling, he will basically sit on the bench. Even if he is promoted, it is equivalent to being promoted openly or secretly.

That's why Ding Baiying had this question.

Ding Xiu smiled: "They took the initiative to apply. Of course, it was also the result of our discussion together..."

Hearing this, Ding Baiying couldn't help but feel a move in her heart, and vaguely guessed the purpose of this move.

Because Ding Xiu had said before that when the time was right, he would let her return to the coast to develop and secretly form a team in the name of developing a gang.

So, Lu Jianxing and Yichuan went there first to pave the way for future big plans?
Seeing Ding Baiying's thoughtful expression, Ding Xiu smiled and said: "It seems that Master has guessed it. They will develop over there first and gain a firm foothold.

At that time, it will be much easier for Master to go over and form a gang.When the time is right, secretly train a special forces unit. "

"Special forces?"

Obviously, this word is a bit unfamiliar to Ding Baiying.

Ding Xiu explained: "You can understand them as the elite among the elite. Their combat methods are different from the conventional ones. They are mainly responsible for sneak attacks behind enemy lines, reconnaissance, stealing intelligence, beheading enemy generals, destroying important enemy facilities or supplies, etc.

They can fight together or individually, and must be proficient in various tactics and equipment..."

Hearing Ding Xiu talk, Ding Baiying's eyes kept changing.

Is this still the prodigal son she is familiar with?Why does it look like he has changed?
But no matter what, although she didn't understand all the theories that Ding Xiu said, it didn't stop her from hearing them with excitement, and she seemed to have regained the heroic spirit she had when she first came out of the world.

"Okay!" Ding Baiying slammed the table, picked up the wine glass and said boldly: "Do it!"

"Dry!"

Ding Xiu also picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Before he knew it, the jar of wine was finished, and Ding Baiying opened another jar.

After finishing the jar of wine, I finally got a little drunk.

"Okay, I...go back to my room to rest...if anything comes up...I'll talk about it tomorrow."

Seeing Ding Baiying falling down, Ding Xiu couldn't help but stepped forward to hold her waist, and said with concern: "Master, it's better for my disciples to help you back to your room."

"No...it's okay, I'm not drunk."

"He said he wasn't drunk yet, so he couldn't even speak clearly."

Ding Xiu couldn't help but help Ding Baiying back to the room, put his arm around her shoulders and gently put her on the bed.

Unexpectedly, Ding Baiying suddenly stretched out her hand and hooked his neck, and the two fell down together.

Eyes facing each other.

Can feel each other's heat.

Smelling the faint fragrance mixed with the smell of wine and feeling the warmth coming from his palms, Ding Xiu's heart skipped a beat...

I am a prodigal, who should I be afraid of?

So he got closer and finally caught the plump red lips that his eyes had been craving for a long time.

……

Cui Zao.

Ding Baiying opened her eyes and shook her head. Then she seemed to remember something, her face was startled, and she looked down hurriedly...

Fortunately, the clothes are intact.

What the hell happened last night?
She tried her best to recall and vaguely remembered some fragments.

It seemed like he was kissed by that kid?

Next... nothing should happen that shouldn't happen, right?

Damn guy, how dare you... I will never drink so much in the future.

When she walked out of the room, she found that Ding Xiu was not in the room. She must have gone to the Yamen.This was good, so as not to be embarrassed when they met, and she just happened to be alone to collect her thoughts.

When he got home in the evening, Ding Baiying pretended to ask: "Xiu'er, did I lose my temper last night?"

Ding Xiu smiled meaningfully: "Master, you don't want to... cough!"

Ding Baiying:? ? ?

half a month later.

As expected, Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan were transferred to Jinling. One was promoted to a thousand households and the other was promoted to a hundred households.

At the same time, Lu Jianxing also brought a few trustworthy brothers with him.

Of course, benefits still have to be given. Anyway, he is not short of money now. If there is no money, who will work for you?

On the surface, the transfer from Beizhen Fusi to Jinling is a loss, with almost no room for improvement.

But for Lu Jianxing, being able to successfully fill the gap of [-] households has fulfilled his biggest wish in life, let alone [-] households.

After going to Jinling, I felt more relaxed and less stressed.

He knew Ding Xiu's thoughts very well. Going here was a plan for a rainy day, laying a solid foundation in South Zhili in advance, which would be more conducive to Ding Baiying's future development in Jiangnan.

This is also the most important part of Ding Xiu's plan.

The main force of Ming Dynasty is in the north, and he will not be stupid enough to raise the banner in the north.

Jiangnan is undoubtedly the best location. After all, it is a land of plenty and the Yangtze River is a natural danger. You can attack when you advance and defend when you retreat.

As a last resort, you can retreat to the island.

For example, if you go to Ryukyu to help fight against Japanese pirates, I believe that the people of Ryukyu who have suffered greatly from Japanese pirates will burst into tears with gratitude.

Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario.

In fact, Ding Xiu has already begun to lay out the plan step by step, and has achieved initial results.

For example, Shen Lian, Lu Jianxing, Pei Lun and others had already boarded his pirate ship.

Otherwise, how could Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan take the initiative to apply for transfer to Jinling?

Before Lu Jianxing left Beijing, Shen Lian and Ding Xiu managed to obtain two amnesty documents, redeeming the bodies of Hanyu and Zhou Miaotong respectively, allowing them to leave their happy status and restore their good status.

Ding Xiu gave Zhou Miaotong a sum of money and asked her to go to Jiangnan with Lu Jianxing and buy a small courtyard there to settle down with Hanyu.

Next, when Ding Baiying goes to Jiangnan, Ding Xiu is going to persuade Zhang Langzhong and his daughter to go there with them.

After all, a lot of people will be recruited at that time, and the medical skills of Dr. Zhang and his daughter will still be very useful.

In the days that followed, the capital was relatively calm for a while.

The imperial court allocated a large sum of money to the Ministry of War to make up for the arrears of food and salary.

If layers of deductions continue, the wages distributed to the soldiers may be less than [-]%.Even if there are no fish or shrimps, it still boosts morale to some extent.

On the contrary, Houjin has become much more restrained without the eight profiteers secretly trading supplies.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the border troops attacked and successively took back several small towns previously occupied by the Jurchens.

The news spread back to the capital, and the government and the public were rejoicing, thinking that another prosperous age would come.

As everyone knows, this is just a flashback.

As Ding Xiu expected, it was okay if the treasury had no money. With money, everyone wanted to take a bite. From various ministries in the capital to local officials, everyone was crying about poverty and asking for money everywhere.

As a result, it caused a headache for the cabinet and Emperor Chongzhen.

When you don't have money, you look forward to money, but when you have money, you have more troubles.

Early that morning, as soon as Ding Xiu arrived at the Yamen, a father-in-law came to summon him: "Master Ding, the emperor has summoned you to go to the imperial study room immediately to discuss matters."

"Thank you, Eunuch Wang. Thank you, Eunuch, for leading the way."

While talking, Ding Xiu took out a piece of silver and handed it over without revealing anything.

The prince smiled brightly: "Master Qianhu is so polite, please!"

Arriving at the Imperial Study Room, Ding Xiu discovered that there was another Jinyi Guard Qianhu in the Imperial Study Room: Hong Lin.

Hong Lin is the Qianhu of the Zuo Institute of Jinyi Guards, which is the Zuo Institute among the five core institutes of "Central, Left, Right, Front and Back".

These were the first five thousand households founded in the Ming Dynasty. They were mainly responsible for the emperor's ceremonial guard and protection. They were similar to the imperial bodyguards and imperial guards. They were the personal bodyguards of the emperor.

Although additional [-]-household offices such as Shangzhong, Shangqian, Shangrear, Shangleft, Shangright, and Zhonghou were later added, their status was still not as good as the core five.

The position of Beizhen Fusi is also very special. It is mainly responsible for investigation, arrests, executions, etc., and does not need to be interrogated by the Three Laws Division.

Even the commander of the Jinyi Guards had no right to interfere with Beizhen Fusi's handling of the case.

If the Five Core Institutes are the emperor's shield, then Beizhen Fusi is the emperor's spear, or to put it mildly, his minions.

"Weichen see the emperor!"

Ding Xiu glanced at Hong Lin subconsciously, then stepped forward and saluted Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen raised his hand: "Ding Aiqing's body is flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"Ding Aiqing, I called you here today to ask you to do something. In a few days, it will be the Ghost Festival, and as usual, a mausoleum ceremony will be held.

I have to deal with a lot of state affairs recently and have no time to spare, so I sent Dongge University Scholar Wenge Lao to worship on my behalf.

In addition, Queen Yi'an will also go to participate in the mausoleum ceremony.

At that time, you and Hong Qianhu will lead the teams respectively, and you must protect the safety of Mr. Wenge and Queen Yi'an..."

Queen Yi'an is not the current queen, but Emperor Chongzhen's sister-in-law: Queen Zhang.

Back then, when Emperor Chongzhen was still King Xin, his brother Emperor Xizong held a talent show. Empress Zhang stood out from thousands of showgirls from all over the country and was eventually enthroned as the queen.

At that time, she was only 15 years old, relying on her natural beauty and unparalleled beauty.

Someone once described Empress Zhang like this: she has a plump and graceful face, a face like Guanyin, eyes like autumn waves, a color like morning glow reflecting snow, and a hibiscus emerging from water.

Her hair is like spring clouds, her mouth is like red cherry blossoms, her nose is like hanging gallbladder, and her white teeth are fine and clean.His steps are like light clouds coming out of the distant Xiu River, and his voice is like white stones crossing a quiet spring.

In Ding Xiu's previous life, later generations also spoke highly of Queen Zhang.

She is knowledgeable about history, understands affairs, and has the demeanor of a mother who cares about the world. She enjoys a high reputation in both the government and the public.

The world calls her the five great queens of ancient times along with Xia Ji in the Spring and Autumn Period, Empress Zhen of Emperor Wen of Wei, Empress Li Zu'e of Emperor Wenxuan of Northern Qi, and Empress Xiao of Emperor Yang of Sui.

It can be seen that Queen Zhang can truly be called a beauty seen once in 4000 years.
