Chapter 667 Yangzhou Slow
. He stayed at Hai Rui for a night, and set off south in silence. On this trip, he left the emperor's side, because he was unwilling to learn from Sister Yuan and those who were bothering to do horses all day long and praised the emperor's stinky feet; secondly, Jiangnan is his foundation, where his heart and blood are gathered, and almost all his strength and dreams come from here.
This time I finally got the opportunity to walk around this hot land and see the seeds you sow. Whether they take roots and sprout, branches and leaves is an extremely important and very happy thing.
The only unpleasant thing is that because the emperor was on a southern tour, the river was martial law by the navy, which caused a large number of ships to be stranded at the dock. Shortly after leaving Huai'an, he was blocked on the river and waited for a long time. Finally, he was able to walk and walk slowly. It took him three days to reach the city of Yangzhou.
Chen Si didn't want to enter the city, so he went south directly, but after inquiring, the emperor's sage had left yesterday, and he couldn't help but wonder. You should know that the life dream of the people of the Ming Dynasty was "born in Yangzhou, died in the northern residence" and such fireworks were like a brocade. It was definitely a paradise for enjoyment. The emperor played and walked along the way. As long as he arrived at a slightly famous place, he would stop for three or five days and have fun. How could he reach this Yangzhou City, which is famous all over the world? He left after only one day?
With this question, he silently ordered the boatman to rest in Yangzhou City for a while and the boatman approached the dock. Seeing that it was almost dusk, Sanchi asked, "Sir, let's go and stay in the inn?"
"If you don't go, Dunmo shook his head and said, "When the brigade passes, the station will definitely be unbearable. If we can stop causing trouble, we will not go." He said, "Before coming, look at the pier in the east, there are many boats returning to sail. You might as well go and buy some fresh fish, shrimps, fruits and vegetables. Are you not comfortable when you open fire on the boat?
Everyone promised, so they bought separately, cooked and cooked, and were not depressed and worried. He got off the boat and walked on the dock, wanting to find a few people on the official side to find out why the Holy Lord left in a hurry.
It was almost dusk, and the river was covered with wavy rays. The dock was full of various passenger ships. The smoke rose from the passenger ships. It was the boat girls busy. I don’t know which beautiful girl was still singing the beautiful Wang song:
"Call me here, I'll come here, the roots are undone, and the fragrance of rose magnolia flowers blooms.
The butterfly loves flowers, the sister Qiang, look at it, the mandarin duck plays in the water and asks the man to guess.
Little man, the hibiscus and peony flowers are blooming under the moon
That playful tune and the hot lyrics were sung by the girl in northern Jiangsu. The sound of the travelers was like spring rain. For a moment, the dock was very quiet, and the silence also stood firm, and they were quietly listening to this refreshing fisherman's song. Until a surprise sound came from behind."
"Brother Zhuoyan! Is it you?" Chen Mo was listening to the Wang song, and suddenly heard someone calling his name behind him. When he looked back, he couldn't help but smile: "It's really a place in life. I didn't expect to see Brother Ruoyu here!"
Then I saw that the man looked at him at the same age as the silent one. He was tall, with wide shoulders, thin waist, white skin, and good facial features. He should be as gentle as a woman, but his chin, his sharp chin and bright eyes suddenly looked heroic. What a tall and upright young man!
This person is a silent person in the same year. His surname is Lin, his name is Run, and his name is Ruoyu. His face looks as his name. But everyone who knows him knows that under this beautiful face, there is a heart that is hotter than fire and harder than a knife. Although he is only from the Jinshi, his fame is definitely in the top five in the same year. He is slightly inferior to Chen Si. Xu Wei, Gao Yinglong and others. When he mentioned Lin Ruoyu, no one did not give a thumbs up!
This person has the biggest characteristic, that is, "having evil like hatred." When he was admitted to the Jinshi period, he wrote very well. He was sure to enter the Hanlin Academy, but because he talked about state affairs and spoke fiercely, he pointed the finger at the Yan family's father and son. Although the examiner loved him with great literary talent, he dared not take him to high school? In order to protect him, he was also in the third grade on the excuse that his article was "central and peaceful".
When the list came out, everyone felt sorry for Lin Run. But he said happily: "We are studying and doing something practical for the country and the people. If we don't go to the Hanlin Academy to enjoy the blessings of the people, everyone thought that this was him grabbing his flesh on his face, but Lin Run used his practical actions to prove that he was a Jinshi who was in harmony with his words and deeds. He was used as a Jinshi. He was then sent to Linchuan County. After three years of office, he turned over a Linchuan County where the public security was chaotic and the people were living in poverty. The people did not close their doors at night, and the sea was clear and the rivers were clear. The people called him "blue sky" and were also called by the provincial people as a model, so they asked other county magistrates to learn from him.
Lin Run is a talented person. He is really not good at performing his job. While doing his job well, Lin Run also actively gave advice to the prefect, saying that his work was slow and he was overstated, and he pushed Tan to arbitrarily, serious corruption, and other major problems, and... he gave a solution.
He can be an official without embezzlement, accept bribes, and play with women and not sleep late, but others cannot. How can everyone bear it? So the prefect scolded him hard and asked him to manage his own land one acre and three cents! But Lin Run is the man who has the energy to stop until he achieves his goal. If you don’t listen, okay, I will report to the province. When the governor saw it, he would use it. It’s a good idea. But he has many typical examples in the Internet, and he can’t be beaten! When the exam is over for three years, he recommends him as the censor of the Censorate and sends this young master away.
Who knew that Lin Ruoyu, who became the censor, found his own stage. He has three advantages. One is to be observant and always see many things that others cannot see; the second is to be meticulous and quick-witted, and only in this way can he speak sharply and every word is like a knife; the third is to be bold. No matter if you are the king of heaven, as long as your illegal deeds fall into his hands, then wait for you to be bounced all over your head!
With his hatred of evil, he is a model for the censor today.
In Beijing for more than two years, he was the one with the most books in the Censorate. Among them, Jiajing impeached 100 people in thirty-nine years and a year. He successfully pulled down a third-rank, two fourth-rank, and eighteen middle- and senior prisoners from the fifth-rank. He had no harm in himself. It was not because of God's favor or the protection of the boss, but because of this person's combat power, he was unparalleled in the world.
Many people look down on him because Lin Run was a senior and Jinshi, but they don’t know that he is just a victim of exam-oriented education. His real strength cannot be measured in one exam. It can only be reflected in a long-term political struggle that his impeachment memorial is extremely sharp and has no loopholes. It is considered to be a model of both offense and defense, and no one can break it. His eloquence is even more vicious. As long as the opponent dares to fight him in person, one will surely destroy one, and two will destroy one pair. And the reaction is very fast. Today’s enemy scolds today, but they never kill all night, and they are invincible. People are nicknamed "Lin Yidao" and are known as the sword and knife, which is specialized in treating all kinds of disobedience.
People believe that if it weren't for the emperor's protection of Yan's party, the number of criminals killed by Lin Run would have expanded exponentially.
With such fierce people in the court, the Yan Party was naturally as if they were on the back. He had no choice but to use the means of a mess. In the 40th year of Jiajing, he was promoted and demoted by a move, and he was given to the Nanjing Censorate. It was a pity that he was invisible.
Yan Shifan was afraid of Lin Run and wanted to hit him. When Lin Run was about to take office, he pretended to prepare a banquet to attack him and asked other censors to accompany him. During the meal, everyone only said some polite words. He did not dare to say much, for fear of violating the power of the Pavilion Master of Heaven. But Lin Run's attitude was different and he had no scruples. He talked loudly at the table and laughed. Yan Shifan realized that his behavior was a bit abnormal and felt more uneasy. He instructed the guests to arrange early to talk to Lin Run. He said that the Pavilion Master hoped that you should not talk about the government casually, so as not to cause disaster. It would be better to say less in the future.
However, Lin Run took Yan Shifan's words as a warning. After being promoted to the right chief censor of Nanjing, he did not change his true nature and impeached illegal acts one after another, especially the members of the Yan Party. He was even more bombarded by him, just in time to catch up with the decline of Yan Party. The results of the battle were even more brilliant. Di Youqing, Chen Quan, Tu Li and others all came under his knife and became famous for a moment, which made corrupt officials look disgusted. He was called "Southern Dragon and North Lin" together with another Censor Yinglong.
But unlike Gao Yinglong's first book, Lin Run's reputation was accumulated over the years and has remained unchanged, so it is more respected and even more terrifying.
Chen Mo spent half a year with Lin Run in Beijing, and his impression of him was very good, because he not only hated evil like Hai Rui, loved the people as much as his son, but also had human touch and tolerated other people's small mistakes. Especially when he was with his friends, he was funny and elegant, making people feel like spring breeze.
So when he saw Lin Run appear in front of him, Chen Si was shocked first, then overjoyed, patted his shoulder intimately and said, "How come you are here?"
Lin Run smiled slightly, and said as quiet as a virgin: "I'm waiting for you."
He was silent and laughed and said, "Go to you. Why didn't I hear you know how to tell fortunes?"
Lin Run also smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a day. I thought I wouldn't see you again tonight, so I went to Shaoxing to wait for you. I didn't expect God to bless you, but I'll wait for you.
Hearing him say this, he believed in silence and smiled and said, "Go to my boat and say it."
"It's better to go to the boat I hired." Lin Run smiled and said, "My boat girl can cook authentic Huaiyang cuisine, I haven't eaten enough.
"Okay," Chen Si went away happily and said to the guards following behind: "I won't go back to eat, you can ask someone to pick up some fresh fish and shrimps to bring them over." The guards took the order and left.
After two steps, they arrived at the boat hired by Lin Run. A "Wu Pang Kuai" ship with a back-to-back is a mother and daughter. At this moment, the daughter was helping her mother cook on the tip of the boat. He heard someone boarding the boat. He jumped to the bow of the boat and said intimately: "Young Master Lin, you are back!"
Then she appeared at the door of the boat and saw her wearing a floral cloth apron, wiping her hands while smiling brightly, and her two black braids swayed behind her head, setting off her bright red and white oval face. Her charm was really seductive.
But the beautiful little boat girl in Xuan Xuan felt a little ashamed. She didn't expect that Master Lin, who was as beautiful as a painting, would actually take back a better-looking master. She couldn't help but lower her head, grabbed the corner of her clothes and said hurriedly: "You have a customer,"
Lin Run smiled and said, "Yes, this is my classmate and friend. If you call him Mr. Chen, then he said to Chen, "This is Abi
Silently smiled, "I'm disturbing Abishiniang."
"Uh, don't disturb Xiao Yinlongliu, Abi Hongyun's face was covered with red clouds, and then he lowered his eyes to ask the three of them for a small button of silver from his arms. He handed it to her and said, "Let you cook some specialties. This young master Chen is an old meal, and ordinary delicacies cannot catch his eyes."
Hearing him say this, Abi immediately felt energetic and said with a crisp voice: "Our family's "ship dish is famous for it. The two young men saw that, after saying that, they held the small key and ran to the boat, and went to the back of the boat, and went to pass the message to their mother.
Listening to her beautiful voice as silver bells, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. When they sat in the cabin and opened the window, they saw the gradually cooler river water. Abi brought three or five cold dishes, and then took a pot of "Qionghua Dew" from Yangzhou. I don't know whether this wine was taken as liquid from the dewdrops in the Qionghua, or the elegant name of Qionghua, but looking at its soft color, tasted its cool and delicious taste, and there was also a strange fragrance of Ganoderma lucidum, which was very popular among scholars. There was still one night, and the two of them were not in a hurry to sip the wine and talked about their love after parting, their anecdotes of classmates, and time passed quickly. The dusk was dark in the blink of an eye. The moon soaked in the river water.
"It's time to start!" At some point, Abi raised his hand and finally served the hot dishes. In a blink of an eye, he put four small stir-fries on it and said with a quick finger: "Fried leeks, stir-fried snails, stir-fried broad beans, cooked fish with bamboo shoots, roasted pork with dried pickles, and cooked pork with small boats. Please don't have anything to eat. Guests are welcome."
I heard her talk interestingly, and I tasted chopsticks silently. The taste was very delicious, and I couldn't help but praise: "It's the ability to make the side dishes well."
"Listen to her nonsense, the famous Santou in Yangzhou. Her mother is very good at it, and even the big restaurant is not as good as the mountain," Lin Run smiled.
"I can't eat the pork heads today." Abi covered her mouth and smiled, "But you are lucky enough to eat the other two." As she said that, Xiaoxiao said excitedly, "Young Master Chen's family has sent a big abalone worth more than ten kilograms."
The so-called Yangzhou three heads are the heads of stewed crab noodles, lions, and the abalone heads of stewed pork heads. They are all cooked with ordinary and even heavy fishy ingredients. They are smooth and tender after making, and they are never tired of it. Although they are not the most expensive in Yangzhou cuisine, they are the most famous.
After a while, Abi really brought up a basin of lion's head with green leaves. The little girl called it "Caihua Big Meat". It looked very vivid. The meatballs with a big fist were fried into Cai yellow by meat and vegetables, which made people couldn't help but make their index fingers sway.
Abi gave Chen Si a piece of silence, and when he came to him, he picked up a chopstick and put the lion's head into his mouth. Sure enough, he could clearly feel the fresh fragrance of crab paste; the vegetables were even crispy and crispy. He had to scoop it with a spoon, and the fragrance was full of the mouth after eating, leaving a fragrance on his teeth and cheeks.
Before I could enjoy this delicacy, the abalone head was served again. The huge abalone head, with glutinous and sticky skin, smooth and tender fish meat, thick soup, and delicious taste, which made the two of them eat. There was also a poetic feeling of "Wine in the middle of the night under the moon in the river, the beauty roasted the fish head with a slender hand, and unknowingly, she was full of wine and full of food and was satisfied.
At this time, the moon was on the sky, and the two of them left the cabin and sat down at the bow. Abi put a pot of Biluochun on them, and then went inside to pack the remaining soup.
The two looked at each other and laughed silently, "No wonder they said that Yangzhou is slow, Yangzhou is slow. As soon as this person arrived in Yangzhou, he couldn't help but slow down."
Lin Run almost didn't have a mouthful of tea and laughed and scolded: "The first time I heard that Yangzhou was slow was this explanation. Are you fabricated this?"
"It doesn't matter if I don't make up the fabrication." Silent shook my head and said softly: "What's important is, why did the emperor leave in such a good place in Yangzhou? Did he be in conflict with Yangzhou City?
"The emperor and Yangzhou will not be in conflict." Lin Run whispered: "But Yangzhou City and the emperor will be in conflict."
"How do you say this?" Chen Si said with interest.
"He Wannian, the governor of Yangzhou, wanted to set up a show to welcome the emperor, but the wealthy families in the city did not agree to Lin Run and whispered: "Those wealthy families in the world have a very consistent opinion. They all say that this matter should be low-key."
"Why? asked silently.
"It's not difficult to understand that Lin Run smiled and said, "I have served the emperor well, and only the prefects are promoted to the prefects. Those rich men are thankless." He said, "The court has always wanted to increase the industrial and commercial tax from 30 tax one to 10 tax one. The rich men are full of money. I don't know how many officials in the court have bought, and we all helped the rich men cry for poverty, as if even a little increase would force everyone to death, so we barely suppressed them."
"I understood Chen Si suddenly said, "So they dare not be too arrogant, for fear that the emperor would be jealous when he went back, so he would raise the tax when he went back. Right?
"No." Lin Run nodded.
