Chapter 262 Ma Shiying went north to re-employment
The world did not end the war because of Zhu Youjian's changes. On the contrary, it continued to collapse in an irreversible state.
In the twelfth lunar month of the cold east, an old man dressed like a wealthy businessman entered the city from the south gate of the capital with two servants.
"Master, the capital doesn't feel deserted at all. It's much livelier than Nanjing." The servant couldn't help but sigh to his master when he saw the bustling market in the capital.
"Yes! When we were in the south, there were many legends about the capital. Some said that the capital was in chaos, while others said that the capital was still prosperous. Looking at it now, at least the capital did not collapse because of the chaos in the world." The wealthy businessman said.
After stroking his beard, he sighed along with the servant.
The wealthy businessman who entered the city was none other than Ma Shiying, the former governor of Lufeng in the Ming Dynasty. This guy disguised himself as a wealthy businessman and came to Beijing for no other reason than to find a job in the capital because he was unemployed.
Not long after the Donglin Party members supported the crown prince in Nanjing and ascended the throne, they committed the old habit of rejecting dissidents and fighting against dissenters. The first person to bear the brunt was Ma Shiying, who held great power and was not one of their own.
Because of Ruan Dacheng's relationship, Lao Ma gained the real power of Governor Lufeng during Zhou Yanru's reinstatement of the prime minister's pork-sharing activities. Governor Lufeng is a proper position of real power in Nanzhi, and all serious soldiers of Nanzhi are there
His men were also responsible for blocking the peasant army from entering the hinterland of Nanzhi.

When the Dong Lin Party officially came to power in Nam Tri, they naturally could not tolerate such an important position being held by Ma Shiying, who was born in the Nguyen Party. After two months of silence, they took action against Ma Shiying. First, they went to the imperial edict to transfer him.
He went to Nanjing and was appointed as a minister in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Ma Shiying would definitely not agree. He found various reasons to delay and refused to go to Nanjing.
As time passed to October, Ma Shiying could no longer stand it. Because Zuo Liangyu, who had a close relationship with the Donglin people, began to withdraw his troops to the Jiangxi front line, and his main force was close to the Luzhou front line. On Lao Ma's side, due to the main force
Huang Degong went north, but he simply did not have the troops to withstand the pressure. As a last resort, he had to accept the imperial edict, lay down his duties as Governor of Lufeng and go to Nanjing to take up his post.
After arriving in Nanjing, the Donglin Party members did not stop there. The Minister of Household Affairs was a big trap, and it was also an eyesore for Ma Shiying to occupy him. Almost as soon as Ma Shiying arrived in Nanjing, they removed Lao Ma from his position.
After he was removed from office, the matter was not over yet. If the superior could not write a letter of impeachment, Ma Shiying would be punished and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. Is this a good thing? Seeing that the rumors were getting worse, Ma Shiying had to find a way to escape.
Fortunately, he still had some friendships with the middle and lower-level officials in Nanjing City, and at the same time had some personal relationships with Donglin and Fushe. After disguised as a Fushang, he escaped from Nanjing City. Where would the unemployed Ma Shiying go? After thinking about it again and again,
He decided to go north. There were various legends about the north, and Ma Shiying couldn't figure out what the situation was. But one thing he could confirm was that his old benefactor Ruan Dacheng should be doing well in Beijing. What kind of new people did he get?
The Times and Nanjing City had a lot of reports, but he couldn't figure out how credible the news in the Xinmin Times was.
"Master, where are we going now?" After the servant and Ma Shiying walked around the capital for a while with the flow of people, they couldn't help but become anxious and asked Ma Shiying where on earth he was going. You can't keep walking aimlessly like this, right? This guy in the capital
In crowded situations, the further you walk, the more anxious you become.
The New Year's Eve is about a month away, and the capital is now the busiest time. People in the city, as well as people from nearby prefectures and counties, all go to the streets to buy New Year's goods and start celebrating the New Year one after another. There are still some idle people, what?
Even if I don’t buy anything, I just want to go to the streets to watch the excitement and add congestion to the capital. This year, the tax rectification in Beizhi Province has led to some people voluntarily planting grains and having some spare money on hand. They are eager to buy during the days before the New Year.
It was so strong that the vendors and store clerks on the street shouted loudly, creating a lively market scene that made Ma Shiying a little intoxicated.
After so many years, it was difficult for him to see such a scene again. Although Nanjing was not affected much by the war, it was not as lively as what he saw today. In terms of consumption index, Nanjing may not be inferior to Beijing at the moment, but
There is a huge difference in participation in consumption. The rich in Nanzhi are the mainstream of consumption, while most poor people are unable to consume even after the Chinese New Year!
"Find a place to stay first, and let's explore the water in the capital before we start." Ma Shishiying wandered around for a while before coming back to his senses and getting down to business.
As a person who has been in the officialdom for many years, Ma Shiying knew that he could not be too anxious at this time. He had to find out the situation thoroughly before taking action. Logically speaking, the first thing he did when he arrived in the capital was to visit Ruan Dacheng.
, but he felt that visiting him at this time might not be effective, and Lao Ruan might not be able to speak in the officialdom now. Or what should the north do if they don’t want to use people from the south now?
After finding a hotel and settling in with his servants, Ma Shiying went to a teahouse on the street alone, ordered a pot of tea, and then listened to any useful information about such a place.
After listening for a long time, he found that the conversation among the tea guests mainly revolved around the various sections of the Xinmin Times. Some talked about current affairs, and some talked about business matters.
"Brother, I just came from the south. This Xinmin Times has been circulated a lot in the south, but many readers over there said that the things mentioned here are not entirely credible. I wonder if what they said is true?" Ma Shiying asked.
Went to the tea table where the conversation was the most intense and took the initiative to stir up the topic.
"If Xinmin Times is not credible, then there is no credible newspaper. I have read newspapers for so many years, and Xinmin Times is the most convincing! Those rotten people in the south are afraid that the emperor will cut off their ability to eat the flesh of the people and the country.
"Genuinely, His Majesty is in a dilemma with the imperial court for encouraging the prince to stand on his own initiative. Of course they will not say that the Xinmin Times, which is outspoken for the people, is good." When an old man saw Ma Shiying saying that the Xinmin Times was not good, he immediately responded. The Xinmin Times was criticized for exposing the
He has solved several cases of official corruption and oppression of the people, and his reputation among the people is quite good. This old man said that after reading newspapers for so many years, he is a bit arrogant. It has only been a few years since serious newspapers appeared? Of course, Xinmin Times is not the only one in the capital now.
A newspaper. There are also several tabloids appearing on the streets, but their editors are irregular, and some of them have impure purposes and want to rely on newspapers to deceive people. The resulting user experience is not good. Therefore, in the hearts of the people, Xinmin Times is serious
's news bulletin.
"It seems that someone was deceived by those scholars in the south."
"Of course you have been deceived. The scholars in the south bully the emperor and the people. They are not good people. I saw how you are dressed, and I guess you came from the south to do business. Now that the capital is prosperous, it is a good time to do business.
, you'd better order a copy of Xinmin Times and read it. There is a special section for publishing business news. There is a lot of useful information, which is most needed for doing business." The old man unconsciously became a volunteer salesman of Xinmin Times.
