The heavy rainstorms made the water level of the Yellow River scary. Fortunately, it is already a major area in the capital. The ministers of the Water Ministry were afraid that the Yellow River would break its mouth and cause their heads to lose their heads, so the embankment was still a bit stable. Although the dim river water was already there
The upper edge of the embankment was rippling constantly, but it still flowed eastward in a tacit way.
The scared flower boys were handed over to the postmen and asked them to escort them to the city. The few people who rushed to Luoyang got on the canal ship for transporting horses.
The cabin was filled with horses, and the smell was really bad. The group simply sat at the bow of the boat and watched the river water filled with mud rolling past his feet.
"The student mentioned by the gentleman before is His Highness Li Chongrun, the King of Linzi?"
Manager Wang smiled at Chen Zi'ang, his expression was very open-minded, as if he didn't care about his previous plans being empty-handed.
"It is His Highness, King Linzi, who is not talented, and Tian is a doctor of the Imperial College. His Highness was once my student."
Chen Zi'ang smiled proudly. There is such a terrifying student, which is indeed worth a smile.
"Sir, the method of following the trend is really clever."
"Chen is a hero by nature, so how could he understand these methods of Zheng Bo? On the contrary, my student is very good at it and I don't know where to learn it."
Just as the two of them were blowing each other in business, they were traveling very fast in the east wind, and the river fork that turned to Luoshui had arrived.
"No wonder His Highness Linzi King arrived in Yangzhou City, he didn't see any moves. The years of hard work of ours was in vain in an instant." The expression on Manager Wang's face was very serious, not like a flatterer. "We all have a few of us."
, including that monk, underestimated this little prince who only knows how to write a few sour poems."
"So you guys lost without any grievance."
Chen Zi'ang pointed to the Yellow River at his feet, "The previous one, His Highness, who underestimated this little prince, is still feeding the turtle under the river."
"What I lost is the bottom. Our Wang family will never lose."
Manager Wang seemed to have something in his words and smiled very freely.
"That's natural. The Langya Wang family has been around for nearly a thousand years since the pre-Qin period. It is still one of the seven hopes. Naturally, there are some means."
Chen Zi'ang did not notice the abnormality of this shopkeeper Wang, and tried to refer to the classics and flatter the thousand-year-old clan.
Only a slightly dull sound of throwing into the water interrupted Chen Zi'ang's long-windedness.
"The thief prisoner has fallen into the water!"
The knot tied to the shopkeeper Wang's hand had been untied at some point, leaving only an empty rope ring, shaking under the bow of the boat, as if responding to Chen Zi'ang's shout.
Chen Zi'ang, who returned to Luoyang, did not dare to delay for a moment. He first informed His Royal Highness of the Princess that the shopkeeper Wang threw himself into the water.
"Don't you ever put eggs in one basket? The Wang family is simply splitting them completely."
After receiving a tip from his subordinates that Chen Zi'ang returned to the city to report his life, Princess Taiping returned to the princess's mansion, which had been moved out for a long time. "You think how fun the expression on her face would be when Li Chongrun discovered the means of winning over the Wang family?"
The torch fire reignited in the secret room that had been vacant for a long time. The burning flames could not drive away the increasingly heavy damp and rotten smell here.
"There are seven people from Wuling? Just by just one scale and a half claw in Yangzhou, you can guess this conclusion. Li Chongrun's ability has indeed grown a lot. It seems that His Majesty sent him to the mud pond in Yangzhou, and he really has it.
vision."
Princess Taiping rarely wore a round-necked robe of a Confucian scholar today. Since she got pregnant last time, Chen Zi'ang hadn't seen her old boss dress like this for a long time.
"Li Duozuo is from the Lu family, and I have always had some doubts. However, this time he was a general of the Right Martial Guard, and he was willing to lead a horse and hold a whip for the monk Xue Huaiyi, which was also considered as finding one for himself.
A great backer. Monk Huaiyi is now in popularity, so we can't just catch him and ask. As for the Magistrate, Wu Sansi is about to be his son for Xue Huaiyi, so he is naturally a little bit.
I won't even let go of farts."
"Xue Huaiyi cut off a few hundred heads to make a contribution. His Majesty was quite happy. I heard that he was going to be appointed as the governor of Yangzhou. Let's not tell you about such a defeat and make trouble for His Majesty. Wait until you wait.
Look."
Princess Taiping looked like she saw him rising up a tall building, so she never mentioned these things again. Instead, she asked about the scenery in Jiangnan.
"I have a garden in the east of Yangzhou City. I have only lived there once. I don't know what my nephew has caused me to be in trouble. I still have to go and have a chance in a few days."
Seeing that His Royal Highness the Princess never mentioned the incident of the Jiangnan civil unrest that Li Chongrun had deliberately mentioned before, Chen Zi'ang turned off the topic and began to reminisce, and was a little anxious.
"What are you anxious about? Not to mention the ability to stir the people's hearts, that kid has already obtained the true teachings of his grandmother. I'm afraid he'll have already started this time. Don't worry."
Princess Taiping didn't take the civil rebellion seriously. "If there was a civil rebellion really happening, under the 700,000 iron cavalry, there were only a few people who died. That kid was too woman.
Zhiren. But I just sent him a huge trouble, which made him have a headache."
"Thank you to go to Yangzhou for a hard time. Your Majesty may call you into the palace to deal with it later. You can take care of your children at home and wait for the imperial edict. Don't think about running out."
Seeing that Chen Zi'ang wanted to say something, Princess Taiping waved her hand and left, leaving Chen Zi'ang in this empty hall feeling lost.
"What? Refugees? Tens of thousands?"
When Bing'er sent a letter from the princess to Li Chongrun, Li Chongrun's expression was a little strange, seemed a little surprised, and seemed a little happy.
"Prince, should we tell the news to Governor Wei?"
"Why not? Disaster relief can reduce taxes next year. We will do such a ruthless task of tax evasion in such a blatant way."
Li Chongrun smiled very happily, but Bing'er was a little confused. Recently, she focused on analyzing the information from Jiangnan. She had not participated in Li Chongrun's various wild plans for some days, and she felt a little confused.
In Li Chongrun's opinion, although Bing'er is not very much a member of her, she is the figure standing behind her at present and is currently the one she dares to hide, so she still has to explain it to her.
The fat monk who was brought back from the monk temple was judged by Gongsun Lan and Luosa for a long time. He used all kinds of tricks, but he could not pry his mouth open.
Finally, Li Chongrun gave an idea, arranged a class for several students, and beat the gongs and drums by his side to prevent him from sleeping. After a few days, the monk finally couldn't hold on anymore, so he confessed.
.
This monk was originally from Buddhism, but later he followed the orders from his superiors and obeyed the orders of Monk Wuchen. What he usually did was naturally to make money.
He was not his first to add money for sesame oil. Buddhism has been doing this for hundreds of years in Jiangnan.
There is no need to pay taxes for temple production. Monks can make a lot of money and grain surplus if they know a little bit about management. So at the beginning, the money for sesame oil was just a means to help the poor. Since the monk colluded with the people of Wuling, it has changed its taste.
The monk cooperated with Qiwang to use many means, and the temple owned more and more land and more and more wealth gathered.
In order to collect the accounts, the monk used a lot of money and actually compiled all the bandits' nests on the hills of Yangzi County. He actually slandered a group of bandits and became monks, and also took many rebel soldiers and recruited them.
So many evil people are specially used to collect accounts.
According to the account book I brought back, I remember that in such a not-so-large temple, the goods I handed over last year were 100,000 yuan, which was no less than the income of several businesses.
However, the money collected this year was not available for delivery before the money was handed over to the temple before the money was lost. Unexpectedly, Li Chongrun was given a sack.
As for where the monk Wuchen went, the monk didn't know, but it was said that monk Wuchen still controlled several temples in Jiangnan, but he didn't know which one he hid in. It's been a long time since he heard his movements.
It's right.
As for the land that was forced to collect, most of the land was sold by the monk to Qiwang's business. There was only a whole piece specially collected. The monk was originally going to keep it as the capital for survival in the temple, but he didn't dare to take it.
If it is money, it is as much as 20,000 acres.
After being tossed by everyone, the monk simply explained the burial of the land deed.
After asking three times, the monk's answers were consistent, and the accounts he gave were quite consistent with the records in the account book. This man was tortured to the point of being human in just a few days and was forced to successfully lose weight.
The monk was finally able to enjoy a sleep that was undisturbed, but the guy didn't wake up again after sleeping.
However, since he had already obtained the answer he wanted, and the monk's reputation for being humble, Li Chongrun did not leave any psychological shadows, and his body was thrown into the Yangtze River.
Just a few children who knew that he had used to make trouble were still very moved. Such a villain who was supposed to be cut into pieces actually made a whole body, which was really a bit eyeless.
As for the 20,000 acres of land in vain, Li Chongrun felt a little headache and asked Yang San to go and get it back. Li Chongrun compared it with the map, but felt that it was really ironic.
