Chapter 841 Changes
Gu Nanxi invited Huang Jincheng to the study.
Huang Jincheng was flattered and recounted the entire trip in detail.
"After arriving in Jiangnan, I originally planned to contact the richest man in Jiangnan and follow the Queen Mother's path, but we couldn't enter the palace. Jiangnan has changed a lot."
"I don't know what stimulated the Emperor of the Great Zhou to take down several adults in one fell swoop, and then used the four eunuchs around him to step into the front court. One of them took over the Imperial City Department, and one was in charge of the harem."
hiss.
In charge of the harem?
The little emperor has a mother, a queen, and a concubine, but he doesn't trust any of them and chooses to trust a little eunuch?
Gu Nanxi thought for a moment and said, "The fact that the eunuchs are in charge of the Imperial City Bureau may have something to do with us. The Imperial City Bureau in Kyoto has completely surrendered to us and changed its name to Jinyiwei."
Huang Jincheng was full of admiration. He was worthy of being the Duke of Yun. He could even conquer the Imperial City Bureau. No wonder the Emperor of the Great Zhou did not trust them!
He continued, "Later, I tried to find out what Li Ge Lao was saying. It was really a pity that he was such a money-loving person, but he was not interested in our money."
"I thought it was impossible to accomplish this, but I didn't expect Mrs. Tong to contact us secretly."
Gu Nanxi raised an eyebrow: "What business are you doing with Mrs. Tong, the Grand Tutor?"
Huang Jincheng shook his head: "No, he just recommended a few people to us."
These people are crucial.
Through these people, they delivered the calligraphy and paintings to the right people, and found ways to exchange them for some silver and buy food.
"During the whole process, I promised some people that if we go south one day, I will provide them with certain conveniences."
Gu Nanxi didn't blame him for acting on his own initiative. Instead, she nodded and said, "Only by winning over all forces that can cooperate can our business progress faster. You did a great job."
Huang Jincheng let out a long sigh of relief.
It was not until the moon was high in the sky that Huang Jincheng said he had done it, and then he finished telling everything.
Gu Nanxi: "Okay! Go home first and spend some time with your family. I'll call you if I need anything."
Huang Jincheng can have a good sleep, but Gu Nanxi can't.
Why would Mrs. Tong, the Grand Tutor, help Huang Jincheng?
Can we win over Grand Tutor Tong?
How intense was the conflict between the Emperor of the Great Zhou and his officials?
The merchant group headed by the richest man in Jiangnan dared to sell grain behind the back of the Emperor of Zhou. Does it mean that the court of Zhou did not have enough control over the merchants?
All issues need to be judged after obtaining more detailed information.
Gu Nanxi turned over and was about to fall asleep when dawn broke.
Forget it, I can’t sleep again.
Spring ploughing is now completely completed, and some places have missed the opportunity to replant.
How should we arrange for the disaster victims in these areas? How can we use limited food to benefit more people and achieve the greatest effect?
These all require Gu Nanxi's final decision.
The slightest negligence may affect the lives of the people in an area.
Gu Nanxi is extremely cautious when making every decision.
"Think tank! I need a think tank!"
Which boss doesn’t have a few military advisors?
Why does Gu Nanxi have to do everything by herself when it's her turn? !
Lu Mei chuckled: "Who told you to place a talented person in a local position whenever you find one? Now, you are the only one who has to suffer!"
So annoying!
The Chinese mainland is full of talented people.
Where have the talents gone?!
…
After Huang Jincheng returned home, he didn't see anyone and slept in bed for a day and a night before he recovered.
I opened my eyes and it was almost noon.
He rubbed his rumbling stomach and didn't want to wait for the chef to cook, so he put on his clothes and shoes and went to find Song Zhizhou.
Song Zhizhou happened to be going out as well, and the two of them met by chance.
"Where are you going, Song Lang? I was thinking of going to your house for a meal."
Song Zhizhou smiled and said, "Then you will be disappointed. My wife is not at home, and I have no food to eat. I am just going to go out to get something to eat."
"Together? I'll treat you." Huang Jincheng and Song Zhizhou walked side by side. "Where is your wife? Didn't she say she was going to take the civil service exam?"
Song Zhizhou called a carriage, and the two of them got in the carriage: "Let's go to the fireworks alley."
The carriage started moving, and then Song Zhizhou answered Huang Jincheng's question: "Madam thinks being an official is boring. She wants to be a lawyer, specializing in women's cases."
"ah?"
How can being a lawyer be as respectable as being an official?
If Tan Sanniang entered the officialdom, she would have a very easy life with the protection of Prefect Song.
However, Huang Jincheng didn't dare to ask too much about other people's family affairs, especially his brother's wife.
"Where are you taking me? Where is Fireworks Alley?"
Song Zhizhou leaned against the carriage and yawned, "We're going to have dinner together anyway, so let's invite big brother along. He's doing his job at the end of the red-light district."
Huang Jincheng would of course be willing to establish a good relationship with Su Xuanming.
But where exactly is Fireworks Alley? Why haven't I heard of it?
The carriage had been traveling for more than half an hour, and Huang Jincheng was almost starving when they finally arrived.
As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw Su Xuanming sitting carelessly on a wooden chair.
Next to him stood a burly man with shifty eyes, and in front of him stood a beggar about ten years old tied up with ropes.
"Damn it, you're so bold that you actually dared to steal from the Jinyiwei! Tell me, where did you hide those badges, you bastard?"
The little beggar curled up into a ball, blood starting to flow from the corners of his mouth, but he gritted his teeth and said nothing, looking very brave.
The sturdy man beat and scolded him, not forgetting to glance at Su Xuanming's expression out of the corner of his eye.
"You bastard, I know you're trying to get something to eat for your sickly sister, but you're so bold! I can't protect you!"
The little beggar looked like he was dead, not moving at all.
Su Xuanming lowered his eyes and sat swaying. When he saw Song Zhizhou coming to find him, he spoke in a dragging voice.
"Alright, stop acting in front of me. As soon as you lift your belly, I'll know what you're up to. I want to see your badge before the sun sets. If you don't see the badge, there's no point in you being the leader."
Su Xuanming stood up and kicked the little beggar on the ground: "Be sensible, or you and your sister will suffer."
Before leaving, Su Xuanming turned around and raised his eyebrows at Gousheng: "Don't forget my monthly payment."
Su Xuanming patted Song Zhizhou on the shoulder and got into the carriage together.
In the carriage, Huang Jincheng stared at Su Xuanming as if he was looking at some new animal.
It was Su Dalang himself! He was not wearing a human skin mask, nor was he wearing any disguise.
But isn't Su Dalang a gentleman and a pillar of the clean class? Why does he look like a street thug?
Su Xuanming leaned against the wall of the carriage, his whole body seemed to have lost its strength, and he was a little limp: "Don't look at it, it's me."
"How could you..." Huang Jincheng didn't know how to describe it.
"I finally learned it." Su Xuanming smiled bitterly, "Even so, I'm still trying it like crazy."
This short period of time was the most difficult time Su Xuanming had ever experienced, more exhausting than fighting in a war!
