Chapter 360 Luo Xueyan, Friend of the Eight Banners (please order, please vote)
Inner city of Beijing, Shihuangma Street, Luoquan Hutong, Weng Mansion.
This is Weng Tong's father Weng Xin's residence in Beijing, and it is also where Weng Tong lived after returning to Beijing.
Weng Zhencheng is a Han official. Being able to get a house in the inner city of Beijing shows how well he is doing!
The inner city of Beijing is a flag city. In theory, only Eight Banners disciples can live here. But Weng Xinchun has not raised the flag yet, so generally speaking, he cannot buy a house in the inner city of Beijing. But this Weng Xincun is not an ordinary official, he is an official.
Officials who go straight to the study are teachers for the emperor's sons, and they are the so-called "emperor's teachers"!
However, Weng Xiancun never really taught the emperor. He first taught reading to Prince Mianyu of Hui County, who was Daoguang's younger brother. He then taught lessons to the sixth elder brother Yi, but his mother died not long after teaching and he returned to his hometown of Dingyou.
, came to Beijing again and became the teacher of Ba Age Yi. In the original history, Master Weng could still become the chief master of the study in a few years!
For such a Han official who worked as a master for three princes of the emperor's family, the emperor's family had to give him a house in the inner city of Beijing. After all, the princes studied very "volumely" and had to go to class early in the morning. Go to the study room.
The masters want to live in the outer city, but they can’t make it in time!
In addition to being a good teacher of the emperor's family, this Weng Xinchun was also a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty. He was currently serving as Minister of War and won the trust of Emperor Xianfeng.
In addition, he is a good father who is good at teaching his sons to be officials!
His eldest son, Weng Tongshu, was a Jinshi in the 20th year of Daoguang's reign. He took the imperial examination and served as a scholar in Guizhou and a young official in Zhanshifu.
regiment training and army
The officials promoted by Gong Luzi were also a little jealous, so they arranged for his eldest son to be a foreigner in the Jiangbei camp. He wanted his son to go back to his hometown to run a team training, and asked his second son Weng Tongjue to go back to his hometown of Changshu first.
, formed the Weng Family Army.
It's a pity that Su Sanniang occupied Changshu before the Weng family's army could pull up!
So Weng Tongjue had no choice but to get rich and go to Shanghai, and became Luo Xueyan's secret friend. However, Weng Tongshu's ambition was not fulfilled, and the Jiangbei camp was broken by Yang Xiuqing, so he had to follow Qi Shan back to Beijing.
After Weng Xiancun learned that his second son had joined the Luo Xueyan shogunate, he arranged for his third son, Weng Tong, to go south to deliver a message. He also took a look at Luo Xueyan's path to see if the future of the Weng family could be linked to Luo Xueyan.
After all, the Weng family were the leaders of the Jiangnan gentry, their disciples, old officials, and in-laws, and their clans were spread throughout Su, Song, Taichang, and Hujia prefectures, while Luo Xueyanwen was the great warlord who ruled Shanghai.
"Father, I heard a rumor in Shanghai, but I don't know whether to take it seriously or not."
In the study room of Weng's house, Weng Tong was talking to an old man over sixty years old with a white face and beardless body and a plump body. Sitting next to him was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a white face, a long beard, and handsome features.
This old man is Weng Tong's father, Weng Xincun, and the middle-aged man in his forties is Weng Tong's eldest brother, Weng Tongshu.
"Oh?" Weng Xiancun glanced at his eldest son, who quickly got up and walked to the door of the study, opened the door, stuck his head out and looked outside, then retracted his head and closed the door.
Weng Xiancun nodded to his son Weng Tong again.
Weng Tong said softly: "There are rumors that Luo Xueshuai and King Luo Wu are in deep collusion, even..." He lowered his voice to the lowest level, "Even one person!"
"Alone?" Weng said with one heart.
Weng Tongshu was surprised and said: "Then my family is not like that.
He was only halfway through speaking when his father, Weng Xinchun, glared back.
Weng Xiancun asked: "How widespread is the rumor that they are the same person? Ronglu...\n...\n.Do you know?"
Weng Tong shook his head: "I heard about it from my second brother and second brother-in-law. They are both Luo Xueshi's secret friends, but they can't be sure. As for Ronglu...:... I probably don't know."
"Then you don't know either!" Weng Xiancun said calmly.
"The second brother...\n" Weng Tongshu reminded.
Weng Xiancun glanced at his son again and said leisurely: "Now that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has taken shape, even without Zhu Ming's national destiny, there will always be no problem in maintaining the situation of the Northern and Southern Dynasties. And my Weng family... is Changshu after all.
From a famous family, he was a scholar leader in the south of the Yangtze River. Although his father served as a high-ranking official in the Northern Dynasty, the Weng family was still a noble family in the Southern Dynasty!
Moreover, the Northern Dynasty is really out of money now! The emperor has already put the idea of ​​saving money into the hard-core crops of the Eight Banners disciples...:::. I have everything a father should have, I have no regrets in this life, and I am deeply loved by the emperor.
kindness.
But what will happen to you, Zeng Yuan, Zeng Rong, Zeng Chun, Zeng Gui, and Zeng Han in the future? Even if the Northern Dynasty can be maintained after that, life will definitely be tight! Their bannermen themselves can’t have enough to eat, so there are still people like us.
For the scholars of the Southern Dynasties?"
"That's what my father said!" Tongtong Weng said, "My family now has a huge property in Jiangnan. It would be a pity to abandon it all."
"What a big family property?" Weng Tongshu was stunned, "Didn't my family's land be distributed to the poor?"
"There will definitely be some sharing, but we earn more...a lot more!" Tongtong Weng said, "Didn't the second brother go to Shanghai with some extravagant money early? After he arrived in Shanghai, he bought hundreds of acres
land."
"One hundred acres is not much." Weng Tong wrote.
"Where does it depend?" Weng Tong said with a smile, "Shanghai has developed very rapidly in the past two years. The one hundred acres of land bought by the second brother has now become a good location, and roads and alleys have been built.
.Except for the 30 acres that have been used to build a cottage, the rest of the land has been used to build houses. The pavement alone covers half a street. If we sell it now, we can earn at least 20,000 silver dollars!"
"So many?" Weng Tongshu was surprised.
It was not easy for the Han officials of the Qing Dynasty to "collect enough".
"That's just so much!" Comrade Weng said, "Moreover, our family's property in Changshu has not been lost. According to the instructions issued by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Wu Prince's Mansion, our family's house and shop in Changshu City can be kept. Those in the countryside can be kept.
The house can be kept, and the furniture in the house will not be moved. In addition, a hundred acres of mulberry garden can be kept. It will only lose a few hundred acres of rice fields and three to four thousand silver dollars in debts released.
The second brother has already settled the accounts. Our family has lost up to fifteen thousand silver dollars in Changshu, and has made twenty thousand silver dollars in Shanghai plus a mansion of thirty acres. The situation is much better than originally imagined!
"
"Oh, what about the situation in other families?" Weng Xiancun asked.
"As long as they make a fortune and go to Shanghai to buy land and real estate, they are all the same." Weng Tong said, "So Su, Song,
The gentry in Tai, Chang, Hu, Jia and other places rarely organized group exercises to resist the Taiping Army, but all went to Shanghai, and Shanghai became increasingly prosperous."
"How brilliant!" Weng Xiancun glanced at his eldest son, Weng Tongshu, "How do you think? You didn't expect this number, did you?"
A Luo Xueshuai solved the problem for King Luo Wu and took the talents and resources of the six most prosperous state capitals in the south of the Yangtze River into his hands. He was also able to accomplish the matter of dividing the fields. This
Even if King Luo Wu is not King Zhu Wu, he is at least King Zhang Wu! Not bad, not bad...
??
He turned around again and asked Comrade Weng: "What does Luo Xueshuai mean about the emperor cutting down the crops of the Eight Banners disciples? The emperor is just waiting for his question book!"
Tongtong Weng said: "Father, I have brought Luo Xueshuai's question book. This question book is also written according to the emperor's wishes. It was drafted by my son for him. But he actually does not support the emperor's use of this to kill the Eight Banners disciples.
Hardcore crops!"
"Ah?" Weng was stunned, "You don't support it? What does he mean?"
Weng Tong said: "Xue Shuai said... Wanping's new army cannot be controlled by Monk King and Horqin Mongolia alone, but also has to use the children of Beijing Banner! It is best to let the children of Beijing Banner go to Wanping with the flag pay given by the court.
If you are a soldier in Pingxin Army, you can raise a flag.
Only in this way can the emperor have a firm grasp on this new army."
"What?"
"This old man has this idea, and Weng Tongshu was stunned.
As Weng Tong spoke, he took out a large wallet from his sleeve pocket and placed it on the coffee table: "Father, this is the money Luo Xueshuai gave us for our activities in the capital...:
Weng Xiancun took the wallet, opened it, and saw a thick stack of banknotes!
Tongtong Weng said: "Xue Shuai has no other intentions. He just can't bear to see so many bannermen's children in Beijing who are hungry and cold... After all, he is about to marry Wanzhen as his wife, who is also the bannerman's son-in-law!"
"
Weng Xincun smiled and said: "It seems that Luo Xueshuai is still a friend of the Eight Banners...\n...\n. Tongshu, do you think this matter can be done?"
Weng Tongshu nodded and said: "As long as there is enough money, this matter can be done... I know many censors and officials, and they are all hungry!"
