Chapter 77: You must submit a certificate when you get started
(The first two chapters have been blocked, but the complete ones have been uploaded in the group)
Song Jiang was a little annoyed when he heard this. This woman spoke so forcefully, obviously she didn't regard them as human beings.
Wearing a colorful palace dress with dark flowers and brocade, the little maid helped her to the downstairs of Fan Tower: "These guys look familiar. I have never seen them wearing military uniforms of the Song Dynasty, but I don't know how many of them are on duty there?"
Although his voice was not cold, it had an air of unattainable nobility.
Dr. Jiu next to him accepted Song Jiang's money. Seeing that he looked unhappy, Fu Er kindly reminded him: "Guest, please don't make excuses. This is Ms. Li Shishi."
This anecdote about the romantic emperor Zhao Ji was known to everyone in the Song Dynasty.
Song Jiang was startled and swallowed his anger and said: "Hui female layman, we belong to the Long Live Camp."
Master Li said "Oh" softly: "It turns out he is Yang Lin's man. Why is he so rude and ignorant of etiquette? How did Yang Lin teach this servant?"
The drunken middle-aged scribe was named Zhou Bangyan, and he was a famous poet.
After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, because he admired his talent, he specially promoted him to the Dasheng Mansion, where he was responsible for composing lyrics and music for the imperial court.
This kid is still very popular despite his age. Although Li Shishi is Zhao Ji's favorite, the emperor doesn't take it seriously at all and lets her spread rumors with many people.
One time, Zhao Ji fell ill. Li Shishi thought he would not come, so he secretly made an appointment with Zhou Bangyan.
Unexpectedly, not long after Zhou Bangyan arrived, Zhao Ji came. In desperation, Zhou Bangyan quickly got under the bed and hid.
Zhao Ji specially brought fresh oranges from the south of the Yangtze River as tribute to Li Shishi. Li Shishi peeled the oranges with his own hands and the two of them shared the food. At the third watch, Zhao Ji was about to return to the palace, and Li Shishi also told him, "It's already the third watch, and the horse is thick with frost."
, you have to be careful."
All this was seen and heard by Zhou Bangyan who was hiding under the bed.
After Zhao Ji left, Zhou Bangyan came out and took advantage of what he heard and wrote it into a song called "Youth Travel: The Sword is Like Water":
The knives are like water, Wu Yan beats the snow, and the slender fingers break the new orange. The brocade is just warm, and the smoke of the beast is constant. They sit opposite each other and tune the sheng.
He asked in a low voice, "Who are you going to spend the night with? It's already three o'clock in the city. The horses are slippery with frost, so it's better to leave. There are only a few people here."
This anecdote shows that Zhao Ji has a broad mind. Although the bus is for private use, it still leaves a small door for the general public.
It can also be seen that these two are passionate about adultery. When Li Shishi saw that Ai Lang was angry, he was not willing to give up.
Song Jiang kept apologizing, but Hua Rong quit and muttered: "Brother, why should I pay attention to her? She is just a brothel girl. What else can she do?"
As soon as he said this, the faces of the people around him changed drastically, and Song Jiang secretly said bitterly.
Sure enough, Master Li snorted, walked away, and followed Zhou Bangyan to the second floor.
Dr. Jiu stamped his feet and said: "You are such an unreasonable guest. The villain has already reminded you, why do you still want to provoke the nobleman? It's better to leave quickly, lest you won't be able to leave for a while."
Hua Rong was born as a strongman, not the reasonable Zhai Zhai in the Water Margin. Although he had been practicing for a month, his gangster spirit was still there. He said: "What are you afraid of her doing? I don't owe her prostitution money, but here she is."
Let’s have a drink here.”
Dr. Jiu said angrily: "You really don't know how to live or die. If you want to drink wine here, someone has to sell it to you."
Hua Rong was furious, stepped forward and grabbed Dr. Jiu's collar, easily lifted him up, and shouted: "I'm not giving you money, why don't you sell me wine to drink."
Song Jiang's face was originally dark, but now it was purple and black, and he cursed: "That's enough! Let him go, let's go."
Although Hua Rong was reckless, he listened to Song Jiang the most and put down Dr. Jiu and prepared to leave.
As soon as they reached the door, a group of wolf-like men came forward with evil expressions and surrounded them.
Several water and fire sticks came down at once, and the three people did not dare to resist, so they could only stand upright and suffer.
The leader sneered: "Take it away!"——
In the Imperial City Office, Liu Qingshui looked at the three tortured, inhuman men, with a cold look in his eyes.
The three people on the mat were Song Jiang, Guan Sheng and Hua Rong.
The three of them were arrested by the Kaifeng government office and tortured for a day. Song Jiang bribed the jailer to report to Wang Chaoli.
Wang Chaoli was horrified. He knew that he did not have the ability to rescue the three people, so he could only beg Liu Qingshui's head.
Song Jiang struggled to express his thanks: "Thanks to this Shangguan for rescuing me, Song and the other three are deeply grateful."
Liu Qingshui said bitterly: "Less than two months after Dalang left Beijing, his men were beaten in Bianliang. That bitch is so majestic!"
It can be said that Liu Qingshui's hatred for Li Shishi is no less than that of the three people on the ground. Now it is difficult for Concubine Liu to see Zhao Ji. She sheds tears every day and finds it difficult to leave the palace.
There was no expression on Song Jiang's face, and there was blood all over his body. He sighed: "It was our brothers who were reckless and caused trouble for Tiju."
Liu Qingshui comforted him: "You are so lucky to be recuperating here. I want to see if that bitch dares to come to our Imperial City Department to ask for someone! I will personally write a letter for you at Dalang's place and send someone to deliver it as quickly as possible.
, you don’t have to worry.”
Song Jiang and the other three couldn't move a finger, so they could only agree like this——
In Banqiao Town, Mizhou, Yang Lin is proud of the spring breeze, and everything in the city shipping department is on track.
Xujiazhuang's participation made his plan more effective with half the effort. The Shibo Division has completely become a giant machine for local powerful people, the forces in the DPRK and China, and local governments to collude with each other for personal gain.
Once it is put into operation, making money every day is like trying to get something. The key is that it has a long history and will not infringe on the interests of the local people. It may even promote the development of nearby Mizhou. For the people here, it is actually a great thing.
In Xu's manor, Xu Yuenu's boudoir was decorated with jewels and jewels, and the warm sunlight filtered through the veil of twilight shadows on the carved windows and fell on the loving men and women on the bed.
Xu Yuenu leaned on the embroidered couch, her nimble fingers focusing on peeling a grape, and asked with a sad face: "Lin Lang, when did you tell your father about our affairs? Now that you are blatantly coming to the manor every day, the villagers are...
If I were not blind, the rumors would have spread to my father long ago."
"What's the rush? Now is the period when my career is on the rise. When the time comes, I will naturally tell Lao Taishan."
When Xu Yuenu heard him calling her father Taishan, her heart felt as sweet as honey, but then she thought that he was still procrastinating, worried about gains and losses, and angrily stuffed the peeled grape in her hand into Yang Lin's mouth.
Yang Lin didn't speak, but kept giving signs with his eyes. Xu Yuenu had no choice but to feed him with her mouth while blushing. At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, the door opened, and Miaoer came in with a blushing face. Seeing this scene
With a blushing face, Fuli said: "Da Lang, someone from the bottom of the mountain sent a letter, saying it was an urgent message from Bianliang."
Yang Lin was still unfinished, licked his lips, took it apart and took a look.
With a bang, Xiaoye Rosewood's table was kicked away. Yang Lin's face turned red and he was furious:
"When you beat a dog, it depends on the owner. I can beat or kill my people, but it's a bitch's turn to bully me?"
Xu Yuenu had never seen Yang Lin so angry. Although he was scared, he stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Lang Lang, what happened?"
"Song Jiang, Hua Rong and Guan Sheng were beaten to the last breath in Bianliang because of a verbal conflict with a concubine of Master Li."
Although Xu Yuenu was in Mizhou, she had heard of Master Li, who was famous all over the world, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How come she still has a concubine with Jin Shang?"
Yang Lin breathed a long sigh of relief, held Yue Nu in his arms, and sneered: "How about you think that all the women in the world are as good as my Yue'er? Master Li is so beautiful and famous, and there are so many talented people under his skirt. Originally
I plan to go directly to Hangzhou, but it seems that I have to go back to Bianliang and stay away from the court for a long time. I am afraid that people will really forget who Yang Lin is."
Xu Yuenu's heart was suddenly lifted up. She grabbed Yang Lin's arm and asked timidly: "Lang Lang, are you leaving?"
"Don't worry, I'll settle you in well before I leave, and I'll find a matchmaker to go to Xujiazhuang soon."
It could be seen that Xu Yuenu in front of her was deeply in love with her. Yang Lin lay next to her ear and said with a smile: "Keep the door open for me tonight."
"I don't want it!" Xu Yuenu bit her lip and replied, then she met Yang Lin's eyes and lowered her head in shame.
Yang Lin smiled proudly and walked out of the Xu family manor as if there was no one else around. The dealers inside were avoiding him in embarrassment, and they acted as if they hadn't seen him.
When he arrived at the Yamen Office of the City Shipping Department, Yang Lin had a gloomy face and said to Lu Wang behind him: "Summon all the officials of the City Shipping Department immediately and come to my place."
After a while, everyone in the Shibo Division came. When everyone saw Yang Lin's face, they all smiled wisely and made eye contact with each other. No one dared to speak or greet each other.
Lu Wang counted the number of people and said: "Tiji, everyone is here."
Yang Lin closed his eyes and sat on the Grand Master's chair. He let out a dull sigh in his nose and opened his eyes and said, "Thanks to your hard work, our Mizhou Shipping Company has been officially established. From now on, we will be able to run the business smoothly."
"First of all, the goods declared by passing merchants, the people on the ship and the destination must be recorded, and a public certificate must be issued before going out to sea. Second, people must be sent on board the ship for "inspection" to prevent weapons, copper coins, and women's mouths from being carried.
﹑Fugitive military households, etc. If there are such people, they will be detained and handed over to the Michigan government. Thirdly, check the actual ships returning to the port. Implement a points system for the goods entering and leaving the port of Michigan, that is, the goods will be divided into two colors: thick and thin, according to
A certain percentage of municipal shipping tax will be collected.”
"Do you understand everything?"
Everyone agreed in unison, and Yang Lin nodded with satisfaction and said, "You all perform your duties here and wait for Song Gongming to come back and take charge of the overall situation."
Fan Qi, a newly recruited secretary in Mizhou, asked: "Is Tiji leaving?"
"Yes." Yang Lin sighed and said, "I still have a lot of things to do. I have been delayed enough in Mizhou. I will leave for Bianliang in a few days."
Although they had known that such a day would come, everyone was still a little reluctant to hear this. Yang Lin alone here was like a rock holding the mountain, and everything in the Shipping Department was handled without any resistance.
At this time, a government servant came outside and only said that it was the governor Xu Zhihui who invited Yang Lin to his home for a banquet.
Yang Lin thought that the Mizhou Yamen's cooperation would be the most seamless in matters here, so he happily went to the appointment.
Xu Zhihui set up a banquet at Wangchao Restaurant near the sea in Banqiao Town and waited at the door of the restaurant.
After a while, more than a dozen horses came running, and it was Yang Lin who came with a few soldiers.
Xu Zhihui stepped forward in person, led the horse and held the whip, and said: "The imperial envoy Yang is so generous, it makes the lower official's face look bright."
Huh? Xu Zhihui is a dignified official. Regardless of his status as an imperial envoy, his official rank is not even lower than his own.
Moreover, the City Shipping Department is theoretically managed jointly by the above-ground government office and the transfer envoy. How can this guy be so humble if he completely removed him?
There must be monsters in things, so Yang Lin secretly became more careful. After entering the restaurant, he squatted down on the main seat without hesitation and asked: "Prefect Xu, I am worthy of the banquet hosted this time."
Na."
Xu Zhihui's face was filled with fear, and she clasped her fists and said: "To be honest, I have something to do with you, and I hope that the imperial envoy will come to my rescue."
"Oh?" Yang Lin's eyes were playful, if you dare to ask for Shibosi, I will be embarrassed by you.
Xu Zhihui coughed lightly, and the curtain of the private room opened, and an old man came in, nodding and bowing.
"Xu Fangheng!"
Yang Lin recognized him at a glance and cursed: "What are you doing here?"
Xu Zhihui whispered: "Imperial envoy, this is the clan uncle of Xiaguan."
Yang Lin snorted coldly, slapped the table and was about to leave. Who knew that Xu Fangheng actually fell to his knees with a plop.
That day when he learned about the tragic situation of his nephew in Beijing, he felt so remorseful that his intestines turned green.
Xu Fangheng tried to harm Yang Lin several times, but made himself worse every time. Xu Fangheng was completely defeated.
He set out from Yangzhou and wanted to go to Bianliang to find Yang Lin to apologize and admit his mistake, but he came to nothing. Yang Lin had already patrolled for the sky and came to the border of Shandong. When he found out that his destination was Mizhou, Xu Fangheng couldn't care less.
I got on my old arms and legs and traveled thousands of miles to Mizhou.
It happened that Xu Zhihui was his cousin, so this meeting happened.
Yang Lin looked at him with disgust and said: "You ordered your nephew to do something to me when the number one scholar was visiting Bianliang, causing me to lie in bed for half a month. Just when I was about to settle the score with you, you
Came to the door."
Xu Fangheng burst into tears. He was a member of a prominent Yangzhou family, but his family was almost ruined because of his lustful obsession.
His most proud nephew is still imprisoned in the Imperial City Prison in Bianliang. Xu Fangheng has thoroughly seen Yang Lin's methods and power.
"Yang Dalang, you have a lot of money, please forgive me this time. Our Xu family will never dare to go against you again. From now on, Wei Dalang will follow your lead."
How could Yang Lin be so easy to deal with? Just when he was about to kick him away, he suddenly felt blessed and came up with an idea. If this thing is done, the Xu family will never dare to have any second thoughts from now on, and even if they are caught,
No one believed that they were the ones who instigated it.
Everyone knows the grievances between the Xu family and Yang Lin. If the Xu family is caught and identifies Yang Lin, he can definitely push back and shout that he is wronged.
"Get up."
Xu Fangheng hurriedly got up, came over and asked, "Is the elder willing to forgive the little old man?"
"Do you, the Xu family, want to defect to me?"
Xu Fangheng quickly patted his chest and promised: "But if you have a little bit of dissatisfaction, the sky will strike like lightning."
Xu Zhihui next to him looked embarrassed. Xu Fangheng was the leader of their clan. Once the clan defected to Yang Lin, he would become a member of his faction.
However, Yang Lin has been gaining momentum recently. He has emerged as a new force in the DPRK, and behind him is the powerful Prime Minister Cai Jing. With such a person, it is a good thing to be taken care of by him even after he is finished.
Yang Lin said with a smile: "In this case, if you really join me, you must hand in a 'voucher of name'."
