With the relocation of the imperial court and the accession of Emperor Hongguang to the throne, Nanjing once again became the core of the entire Ming Dynasty after two hundred years.
Especially after getting rid of the bad burden of the north, not to mention the need to transfer 4 million tons of grain via the canal, the imperial court immediately changed from its previous tight situation.
Bureaucrats, big and small, no matter how wealthy they were, made Nanjing even more simmering.
There are many shops, broad flags are almost crowded in the narrow streets, elegant restaurants, lively wine shops, and brothels full of beautiful people. Even though he has seen it for a long time, Zheng Sen is still amazed.
Compared with the baby-like Quanzhou, the city of Nanjing is as eye-catching as a giant.
However, as a wealthy man, he was already immune to these problems. He lowered the car curtain and came to Qianzhai.
Looking at the large and magnificent Qian Mansion, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "Master is still too greedy for enjoyment."
Although he admired Liu Rushi's talent, after all, women from brothels were accustomed to officialdom, but they had not yet entered officialdom, so they were still full of longing for them.
Therefore, in his opinion, Qian Qianyi, who is intellectually spirited and has high moral character, acted like this, which is really a big stain.
However, no one is perfect, and he also understands the business at home. After all, he has a deep understanding of people, but he remains the same on the surface.
But in his heart, he still couldn't let go.
He handed over a piece of silver casually, and the concierge's face was so happy that he hurriedly invited him in and went to report.
After a while, he was welcomed in and met Liu Rushi.
Liu Rushi was as pretty as a flower and spoke and laughed freely. This was the deep impression Liu Rushi had on him.
"Damu is here, the master has not come back yet, please wait for a moment!"
Twisting her plump waist, Liu Rushi said softly, and then asked someone to pass the tea, no disrespect to etiquette.
In order to avoid embarrassment in the melon field, Liu Rushi left with an excuse, leaving Zheng Sen alone.
This also made him relieved.
Even after seeing the stunning beauty, Liu Rushi still put a lot of pressure on him, and he became more and more irritated: women are really a scourge——
Sitting in the living room, Zheng Sen thought about his father's considerations.
The reason why he visited this teacher was because there were rumors in Nanjing that troops and grain would be mobilized from Guangdong and Guangxi, and they would even target the Zheng family in Fujian.
The Zheng family has been running a maritime business for many years, and has accumulated more than a million net worth. It's okay to shed some blood, but they are afraid of attracting tigers and leopards.
Even the slightest rumor would be extremely dangerous for the Zheng family today.
There are hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in the four towns in Jiangbei, which is extremely intimidating.
The reason why he came to the Imperial Academy and became a disciple of Qian Qianyi was because he wanted the Zheng family to have support in the court and be well-informed?
Of course, Zheng Sen also understood that his lavish spending of money in the Imperial College over the past year or so had catered to some people and naturally offended some.
No wind, no wave.
After a long time, when he was in deep trance, he was disturbed by the maid.
"Is the teacher back?"
Zheng Sen was shocked and hurriedly cleaned up before slowly leaving.
After changing into a robe, Qian Qianyi instantly became much more elegant and easy-going.
I saw a young man in a green shirt walking quickly, with bright eyes and a high nose. Although he was of medium height, he gave off a particularly stable aura.
"Damu, why do you come to see me, the teacher, for anything?"
Qian Qianyi smiled slightly and said jokingly: "Are you asking for something?"
The reason why he accepted Zheng Sen was that, in addition to the fact that the Zheng family's overseas business was very important to the Jiangnan gentry's contacts, Zheng Sen himself also played a big role.
Different from the unruly and unruly person in his imagination, although Zheng Sen is young, he is mature, stable, and has extraordinary knowledge, which is different from others, so he accepted this disciple.
Zheng Sen smiled sheepishly and said: "Teacher, I have wanted to see you for a long time, but I was just afraid of disturbing you."
Immediately, he said directly: "It is true that the disciple was too ostentatious, which made others unhappy and targeted the Zheng family."
"The Zheng family!"
Qian Qianyi fell into thinking.
The Zheng family was able to rise up, but they still spent a lot of money and their troops were tyrannical, so the imperial court named him Nan'an Bo, Chief Soldier of Fujian, as a way of appeasement.
However, such local warlords are still not popular, and it is inevitable that they will be targeted.
"You don't have to worry about this!"
Qian Qianyi waved his hand and said: "Your father's great success in Fujian has long been expected. It's better to calm down and suppress the pirates for the country."
"One move in Fujian can affect the whole body, and it is impossible to act haphazardly."
Only then did Zheng Sen feel confident.
Of course he understood that his father controlled the waters of Fujian, and whether he went to Nanyang or Japan, the gentry would always rely on him, so naturally they could not touch their own money bags.
"Teacher, I heard that the bandits are powerful in the west of Yunnan?"
Zheng Sen'er listened to the news from the Imperial College and couldn't help but ask tentatively.
The current airs of the Hongguang court are quite bluffing, but after being in Nanjing for more than a year, he doesn't understand that this court is simply the money bag of the four towns in Jiangbei. Apart from being diligent in asking for money, the rest is hard to describe.
Even in Huguang, there is a King of Yu who is making troubles and does not want to buy into the imperial court's account.
"Little things."
Qian Qianyi said calmly, as if he knew that his disciple had a wide network of connections, and added:
"Yunnan has been slacking off for many years, and the Western bandits have taken advantage of it. The chieftain issue is also complicated!"
He didn't want to reveal too much.
When Zheng Sen heard this, he found it funny.
The Nanjing imperial court is like a sieve. You can find out with a little effort, so why not be half an hour late?
After talking about some random things again, Zheng Sen took his leave.
When Zheng Sen returned to the carriage, his expression changed: "Did you find out?"
"A few bastards are greedy and insufficient."
The big man in the carriage said aggrievedly: "Sir, are you just letting them go like this? It's not easy for me to earn so much money."
"When people are under the eaves, they have to bow their heads."
Zheng Sen said in a deep voice: "My teacher will press the button. This matter can be considered ended early."
Sighing, Zheng Sen had been in Nanjing for a long time and fully understood the necessity of his father sending him to Nanjing.
If Qianyi didn't have money to protect him from the wind and rain, and he scattered gold and silver from time to time, life would definitely be difficult for the extremely wealthy Zheng family.
"Sir, I have three thousand ships under my command and tens of thousands of brothers to eat. Are you still afraid that the imperial court will fail?"
The big man muttered, feeling really depressed during this period.
"What's the use of having more people?"
Zheng Sen glanced at him and warned: "Can the fish from the sea still come ashore? Leave Fujian and go to Danyuan. Do you want to go?"
Upon hearing this, the big man immediately stopped talking.
In Da Yuan (Tainan), there are no mosquito bites, and you will have to suffer when you go there, which is not as comfortable as on the mainland.
The tens of thousands of people in the Zheng family look bluffing, but they are only strong at sea. Once they land on land, they can only die in front of the upright army.
"Go call me in sick!"
Zheng Sen said leisurely.
"Sir, are you going back?" the big man said excitedly.
"No, let's go to Huguang and have a look!"
Zheng Sen’s eyes were bright.
He wanted to see how this man of the same age as himself could establish such a territory.
