Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 792 Linkage
In March, the capital is a good time for spring and flowers to bloom. The news of Wang Tong's victory in Guihua City became more and more certain, and more details came back.

The more details came back, the more convincing people felt, and the more joyful the people became. Until March, the capital seemed to be still in the first month.

It is said that many wealthy merchants from Tianjin Wei and Jingshi are already planning to go to Guihua City to have a look. The Ministry of Defense has been invading the border trade with Daming for so many years. I don’t know how many good things they have plundered. It is monopolized by the Alta Ministry and several major tribes. Even if the merchants of Ming Dynasty want to do business, they can only sell their goods to the Alta Ministry and several other major tribes first, and the greater profits are made by these people. .

Right now, Guihua City belongs to Daming, which is equivalent to opening a hole in the grassland. The businessmen of Daming can go to the north, west and east to trade more conveniently and earn more money.

People in other places don't know, but people in Beijing, Tianjin and even Xuanfu in Liaozhen know that Wang Tong's firearms and carts are powerful. Wang Tong has given such conveniences in Guihua City. Local businessmen in Shanxi may still have doubts, but The businessmen in Beijing and Tianjin know what this means, and the most enthusiastic ones are those with a maritime background. What is Mr. Wang’s policy in Guihua City? If you have the ability, then go ahead and make a fortune by sitting on the ground. With firecrackers and light cannons, who is afraid of those tartars.

During this period of time, Zhili, Shandong, Liaozhen and even Henan were much quieter for a while. The rascals wandering on the streets, the brave and ruthless ones, and Yu Ding, a military household with nothing to do, all disappeared.

The local government servants are a lot more worry-free, and some people know the inside story, saying that these people were recruited by merchants who went to the Northland, and if they want to do business outside the Great Wall, they must be guarded by someone. They really know martial arts. I have seen The characters who fight have already had an errand, and the kind people are unwilling to leave their hometowns, that is, these people are willing to risk their lives for a few good wines and meats.

Of course, people from all over the world gradually entered Shanxi, and the local officials in Shanxi were in a state of distress. This is inevitable, but under the victory, these are all minor problems.

***********
The capital is at the foot of the emperor, where the three teachings and nine streams gather. Whoever figures out something new, someone will learn it immediately.

Nowadays, for rich and wealthy families in the capital, the most fashionable entertainment is to go to theaters and theaters. Those who are not so rich sit down to watch the fun, and those who are rich sit in boxes for socializing. eunuchs, and even today's Long Live Lord often go to see it.

Nowadays, the best plays in theaters are none other than a few dramas in which the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty sneak into the northern border and fight the traitors of the Tartars. It is really wonderful. Watching the play, thinking about the big victory in the north, I feel very happy good.

The theater is too noisy for those who are particular about it. Sometimes when the stage is singing at a wonderful point, the audience applauds and throws money, and you can’t hear anything at once. Unfortunately, the theater is not reserved for everyone, and everything is for sale. Tickets are really helpless.

But some people saw the prosperity of the theater, but thought of something else. Your family has a new opera with good singing. I have a few people here who can sing and play the piano. The decoration is more elegant, and I don’t want to sell myself. It’s just for everyone to enjoy the music. And songs, isn't there also some people to join in?

However, most of the businesses like this were snatched by various brothels. Everyone liked to listen to a beautiful woman singing, so why bother to go elsewhere.

The business started to fail, but there were also successes. The most famous violinist in the capital city opened a violin hall with only twelve seats. He bought the house of a former household member, Uiro. It was a very elegant place to play the violin. Under the cover of bead curtains and light gauze, those who listened to the piano turned their backs.

In a rich and noble place like the capital, you can really find a bit of dust when you come here to listen to the piano. If you are good at playing the piano, you can also play a piece. Each seat is five taels of silver a day, just a few pieces a day. A day is also five taels, and a moment is also five taels.

In such places, there are many people who are willing to come to support them, and some people may not know how to play the piano, but when they come to such a place, it will appear that their status and status are different from others, and they are much more elegant than those who go to the theater to watch plays.

It is also allowed to book the venue here, you can pay 60 taels, and it is good to stay alone for a day, which is even more popular with people who are used to showing off.

It is not easy for this piano hall to reserve the venue. There are only three days a month that can be reserved. Every time I ask about these three days, some people say that it has been booked in advance.

Today is also a day for private bookings. There is a carriage with green cloth curtains in front of the door. The servants are dressed in gray clothes. They look like ordinary people. He is the driver of Shen Shihang, the chief assistant of the current cabinet.

Shen Shixing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, likes to listen to the piano, and the piano lady in his family is also very good at playing the piano. However, after becoming the first assistant of the cabinet, Shen Shixing placed the piano girls in the family one by one. Shen Shixing's hobbies have not changed, but he has become more cautious. That's all.

Playing the piano by oneself is one thing, listening to the piano is another. Ever since the capital opened a piano hall, Shen Shixing went to a few of them in low clothes. , only here is the most suitable for him.

The official salary of the chief assistant of the cabinet is very little, but in fact the income is very high. It is really a simple matter to hire a few days in a month. Listen to the tune quietly.

The sound of the piano was melodious. Shen Shixing sat on the seat with his eyes slightly closed, enjoying it quietly. The piano master in this piano hall was also invited by Shen Shixing to play in the past, and his standard was very high.

Just as he was engrossed, he heard footsteps, which immediately destroyed the quiet atmosphere. Shen Shixing frowned, and opened his eyes to see that his family's entourage was walking quickly. Although Shen Shixing was not happy, he also I know, it's not an important matter, the long follower who knows his temper will not interrupt so hastily.

"Mr. Trouble, avoid it first!"

Shen Shixing said in a warm voice, the sound of the piano stopped behind, and the person had already left, the long follower came over and whispered something in Shen Shixing's ear, Shen Shixing's face darkened, and he said:
"Don't talk about business at this time, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"Master Yan said that it must be said in private, that you must see the master today."

Shen Shixing pondered for a while, then nodded, the house was not big, and not long after, Yan Qing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who was wearing a plain coat with a pair of collars, walked in.

The cabinet is named above the six ministries, but the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, who holds great power in personnel affairs, is considered to be second only to the chief assistant of the cabinet. Shen Shixing rarely got up to salute, and said with a smile:

"Shen finally found such a quiet place, but Brother Yan still found it. Sit down, sit down!"

"Mr. Yan hastily interrupted, and I hope Mr. Shenge won't be offended!"

The two sides greeted each other with smiles, superficial articles are still to be done, except for Shen Shixing and Wang Xijue among the six cabinet ministries, the rest are Zhang Siwei's disciples, Zhang Siwei and Ding You are at home, and their influence in the court is growing However, Zhang Siwei's party and Shen Shixing still did not deal with it.

Shen Shixing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, did not do so well, and felt that he could not stretch his hands and feet when he was on business. Naturally, he would not have a good impression of Yan Qing, the current leader of Zhang Siwei's disciple party, but Yan Qing did things out of public interest. There was no suppression of people in the lineage of Shen Shihang and Wang Xijue, so everyone was able to save face.

After Yan Qing sat down, he asked straight to the point:

"Mr. Shen Ge, yesterday the Holy Majesty summoned the right one, but what you said about Wang Tong's reward, I don't know how it was decided?"

The question was very straightforward, Shen Shixing pondered for a while, and said:
"Luo Sigong has already received the report of the illness, and this time it will be approved. After returning, Wang Tong will be the commander of the Jinyiwei. Such a great achievement, it is not too much to confer a title as a Duke, but he is so young. There must be a promotion. This time, he will be named Marquis first. The Holy Majesty still thinks it is not enough. He said that it is Tianjin Wei and Guihua City. Can you give him another position? The rest will be rewarded by the generals below. do not have much left."

After listening to Shen Shixing, Yan Qing got up from his seat, looked at Shen Shixing and said:
"Old Shen Ge, Mr. Yan asks a question? Wang Tong has done these great things in the past few years, and this time he has made such a great contribution. After he comes back, His Majesty in the court will listen to you and me in the future, or will he listen to Wang Tong?" With Wang Tong's ability, what position will he have in His Majesty's heart in a few years?"

Shen Shixing didn't speak, Yan Qing took a step forward and said:
"If your Majesty listens to Wang Tong in everything and asks Wang Tong, what is the use of you and me in this court, and what is the use of your relatives, friends and children?"

"Master Yan, being an official and a public official is not for your own selfishness. If it benefits Daming, then everything will be fine!"

Shen Shixing said coldly, Yan Qing didn't seem to hear it, and just said there slowly:
"Yan is very old, and he will be appointed as an official in two months. These activities in the court will have nothing to do with Yan from now on. What he said just now was not for his own sake, but for the sake of studying in the world. The scholar speaks, Master Shen continues to listen to the music, and Yan takes his leave."

After finishing speaking, Yan Qing nodded and turned to leave. Shen Shixing sat there with no change in expression. After a while, the luthier behind him returned to his original position. Just after playing, Shen Shixing raised his hand and said calmly:
"Let the old man calm down!"

***************
Xuanfu town, the residence of Li Rusong, the chief soldier of Xuanfu, Li Rusong came back from training outside the city, surrounded by his family and guards, he dismounted from his horse, threw the reins to his family, and said with a smile while walking:

"Wang Tong is out of his mind. If he wiped out the Tartars all at once, what will he eat in the future? The teachings of his father were good."

A group of people were laughing and walking in, but a housekeeper ran over quickly and said:
"Master, the old master sent the third master over there!"
