After buying the weapon, Wu Shigong felt a little stunned. The price of the weapon was too expensive. Wu Shigong had traveled to the Ming Dynasty for more than a month, and he basically understood that the price ratio of silver to modern currency was about one to five hundred to one to one.
Between a thousand. Even if calculated as one to five hundred, buying these weapons is equivalent to 1.75 million yuan in modern times. Counting each gambling house guard, each person has more than 10,000. And there is nothing equipped.
He only had two knives and a few firecrackers. Wu Shigong didn’t know that in the Ming Dynasty, weapons were mainly made by hand, and the price was certainly much more expensive than modern industrial production. However, the price of the weapons this time was indeed Yang Gou
The reward for the egg was a bit high, and Wu Shigong also took advantage of it.
Now, apart from visiting the ruins cleaning site every day, Wu Shigong has more free time. Therefore, he often sneaks home to accompany his little wife. After all, they are still on their honeymoon. Wu Shigong is not too afraid now.
Father-in-law Xue Lian scolded him for being lazy because he had Xue Yufei, such a defensive artifact. However, it was not good to be at home all day long. One day, Wu Shigong went to visit with two hundred taels of silver and some gifts.
Sun Chengxiu who was also on her honeymoon.
Sun Chengxiu is now renting a small courtyard to live in. Of course he was very happy to see Wu Shigong's arrival. He quickly asked his wife to get some food and wine, and the two started chatting while drinking. Although Wu Shigong and Sun Chengxiu were fifteen years apart in age,
There are some differences in personality and temperament, but the two of them really hit it off. They chatted about the gossips in the capital and some interesting things from the past, and there seemed to be endless things to talk about. While they were chatting happily, a few more people came to Sun Chengxiu's home.
guest.
The visitors were a few scholars, and they asked Sun Chengxiu to attend a literary conference. Sun Chengxiu introduced Wu Shigong to the scholars, and they both bowed politely to whomever they introduced. But they introduced a scholar named Yu Zilian.
At that time, Yu Zilian said something strange about Wu Shigong. Anyway, the meaning of the words pointed out that Wu Shigong was an eunuch.
In the previous life, the roles of eunuchs were basically villains, and Wei Zhongxian was the king of villains. Although Wu Shigong couldn't help but get on Wei Zhongxian's boat, he could always distinguish between good and bad in his heart. Therefore, he was vaguely
He was always a little ashamed of his status as a Wei Party member. Today, when Yu Zilian mocked him as a eunuch, Wu Shigong was a little unhappy.
Seeing that the situation was a bit awkward, Sun Chengxiu quickly stepped forward to smooth things over. But when Yu Zilian saw Wu Shigong and remained silent, he became more energetic. He said several words to Wu Shigong in succession. Wu Shigong basically didn't understand the meaning of the words, but when he saw
After hearing this, the few scholars next to him laughed repeatedly, and Wu Shigong knew that there was nothing good to say. This is how hateful it is for scholars to curse people without even using curse words.
When Sun Chengxiu saw such a situation, he became embarrassed. He didn't know whether he should persuade him or not. Seeing Sun Chengxiu in trouble made Wu Shigong uncomfortable. Besides, Wu Shigong respected Wu Shigong no matter in his previous life or in this life.
It belongs to knowledgeable people. And those scholars who scolded the eunuchs were not wrong. Therefore, Wu Shigong pinched his nose, held back his anger, said goodbye to Sun Chengxiu, and left in despair.
By mid-July, the wind direction in the court began to change. In response to the impeachment storm launched by the Donglin Party, other civil servants also raised more objections. Among the civil servants who opposed the Donglin Party, some were Wei Zhongxian's partisans;
Civil servants from other parties saw that the Donglin Party was not doing well, and they tried to make trouble for the Donglin Party. However, there were also some honest civil servants among them. They saw that the disaster relief was indeed starting to be effective, so they came to refute Donglin.
The party's nonsense. In the face of these objections, the Donglin Party became more and more courageous. It launched one wave of impeachments and the words became more fierce each time. This gave Emperor Tianqi a headache, which made him do carpentry work.
, it was scrapped several times in succession.
Of course Wu Shigong will not worry about things in the court. He does have more free time during the day, but there are more invitations to banquets in the evening. Basically, they are invited by guilds and gangs in Nancheng. Wu Shigong will naturally not lose it.
He wanted to attend such a banquet in order to lose his identity, so he basically gave this opportunity to his subordinates and asked them to attend on his behalf. Since Xu Limu was also quite busy at work in the evening, this kind of good thing was basically done.
It fell on Zhou Xun's head.
This approach made Zhou Xun very grateful. He felt that Wu Shigong, his boss, was brave, capable, and very generous. In fact, this was just a habit of Wu Shigong from his previous life. As a boss, he always has certain things to do with his subordinates.
What you like and what you don’t like. It’s okay for a boss to be a little biased when facing his subordinates, but as long as the subordinates have made achievements, they must be rewarded regardless of whether they like it or not. Although Zhou Xun was the boss when Wu Shigong first arrived at the Bingma Division,
, provoked Wu Shigong, but in the future, whether it was military training or the work of cleaning up the ruins, he performed relatively well. Therefore, it is appropriate to give appropriate rewards to Zhou Xun. The young people do not have any overnight feud. Wu Shigong and Zhou Xun
The relationship has become much more harmonious.
But later, two strange invitations forced Wu Shigong to attend.
One time, it was Yushi Gu who came to invite him. Although Yushi Gu only sent a painless impeachment memorial to impeach the backbone of the Wei Party - Wu Shigong. But now, Yushi Gu was afraid again. He was afraid
His impeachment made Wu Shigong hold a grudge. Thinking that Wu Shigong had to kill two people because his subordinates were spat on, Wu Shigong must be very generous. Therefore, he wanted to entertain Wu Shigong to make up for the relationship between the two parties.
But Yushi Gu couldn't let go of his dignity as a scholar and was unwilling to explain things directly. Therefore, the atmosphere at the banquet was rather strange. Although Yushi Gu and Wu Shigong seemed to be chatting and laughing happily, they always felt that they could not find a common language. Gu Yushi
The censor expressed his wishes several times in a cryptic way, but firstly Wu Shigong didn't know the real purpose of Yushi Gu's invitation to the banquet. Secondly, Wu Shigong, a rough man, really couldn't understand Yushi Gu's cryptic words. So in the end, the banquet ended
Ended in vain.
After the banquet, Wu Shigong called Zhang Kequan, told Zhang Kequan the strangeness in his heart, and asked him to help analyze Gu Yushi's meaning. After hearing in detail the relationship between Wu Shigong and Gu Yushi and Gu Yushi's words at the banquet
After Shi's words, Zhang Kequan almost guessed what Yu Shi was thinking.
In fact, in his heart, Wu Shigong didn't want to do anything to his boss Gu Yushi. After knowing Gu Yushi's thoughts, Wu Shigong went to his father-in-law Xue Lian to inquire about it. Xue Lian told him that Wei Zhongxian didn't think of Gu Yushi at all.
Take this little shrimp seriously.
Who wouldn't want to do this favor? So Wu Shigong sent someone to report to Yushi Gu. At that time, Yushi Gu thought that the purpose of the banquet had not been successful, and was wandering around in his room. When Wu Shigong heard
I was immediately overjoyed with the good news.
Yushi Gu immediately prepared a generous gift and sent it to Wu Shigong. Wu Shigong accepted Yushi Gu's kindness, but did not accept the gift. Wu Shigong did not want to make his relationship with Yushi Gu look like a business. This made
Yushi Gu was even more grateful.
Another banquet was given to Huang Tongzhi from Shuntian Prefecture.
The governor of Shuntian Mansion played a trick on Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian in sending corvees to clean up the ruins this time. What is even more despicable is that the governor actually accepted the money and did not do anything. Therefore, Wei Zhongxian was on Wei Zhongxian's blacklist
, then the governor of Shuntian Prefecture is definitely among the best. And this time when the factory guards and the Soldiers and Horses Division distributed the interests of the Nancheng Gang, why didn't Shuntian Prefecture be included? The main reason was to vent their anger for Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian.
Faced with such a situation, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture is a dead pig and is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water. But the officials under Shuntian Prefecture are panicking, fearing that they will be ruined and Wei Zhongxian will take over the pot. And Huang Tongzhi is still
Some other thoughts: If Fu Yin cannot keep his position, is it possible for Huang Tongzhi, the second-in-command of Shuntian Prefecture, to move up?
But low-ranking officials like them could never see Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian in person, so Huang Tongzhi came to invite Wu Shigong to establish a relationship.
When he heard the invitation from the officials of Shuntian Prefecture, Wu Shigong wanted to refuse it immediately. But along with the invitation post, he also sent two hundred taels of silver. For the sake of the money, Wu Shigong agreed to meet with Huang Tongzhi, thinking that
Listen to what Huang Tongzhi has to say.
At the banquet, Huang Tongzhi made his intentions clear. Wu Shigong did not dare to make the decision on such a big matter. He introduced Huang Tongzhi to his father-in-law, Xue Lian. After Xue Lian considered it, he introduced Huang Tongzhi to him.
The introduction was given to Wei Zhongxian. Wei Zhongxian agreed to Huang Tongzhi's request, but asked Huang Tongzhi to write an impeachment memorial to impeach the Shuntian Prefecture Yin for corruption and bending the law. At this time, the more artillery shells against the Donglin Party, the better. Besides, Huang Tongzhi later gave
Wei Zhongxian and Xue Lian both gave generous gifts. Even Wu Shigong also received another small generous gift.
As for the distribution of gang benefits by Shuntian Mansion, Huang Tongzhi never mentioned it to Wu Shigong compared to these major events now.
When Emperor Tianqi once again messed up the carpentry work and was furious, Wei Zhongxian promptly handed over to Emperor Tianqi the summary of all the thank-you letters collected from the people and the sentences insulting Emperor Tianqi in the Donglin Party's impeachment memorial.
After seeing this, Emperor Tianqi added fuel to the fire and immediately ordered Wei Zhongxian to severely punish those civil servants who had no king or father. Wei Zhongxian began to purge the Donglin Party.
