Chapter 111: Literacy, Luoyang, Nothing

Many things happened in Henan. The June residence report said that in April, the three-sided governor and the governor of Yansui, Hong Chengchou, met with the generals in Ruzhou to suppress the rebels.

Li Meng was so excited by a few simple words that he was now considered a military officer of the Ming Dynasty. Imagine that Hong Chengchou, as a civil servant, general under his command, and generals who led tens of millions of troops, were all driven by him. How arrogant is this? If this can be done, he will not live in vain in his life.

Speaking of which, Hong Chengchou is one of the few characters Li Meng knew. In modern film and television dramas, whenever they talk about the early Qing Dynasty, it must be said that the drama of Da Yuer's persuasion to surrender Hong Chengchou was either written with a tall image or an ambiguous writing. Most of them, Hong Chengchou made indelible contributions to the unification of the Qing Dynasty and the integration of the nation.

But at this time, through the accidental discussions between the dibao and the literati, the governor Hong's evaluation was extremely high. It seemed that everyone thought that if there was no one, there was no one to suppress the thieves in Shaanxi, and there was also extremely high voice for who would deal with the Qing Dynasty.

Is this the truth of history? Li Meng wondered if he went back to talk about these things that appeared in the newspaper, he didn't know if he could go to hundreds of lectures, and if he could be slapped in the face...

Li Meng was wandering around here, and suddenly the girl flashed in. She was not polite. She picked up a newspaper and read it. Li Meng frowned and was about to scold him when he heard Zhou Zhujun shouting in surprise:

"Ah, Wu Zongda has retired?"

Li Meng didn't even know who this person was. The girl could understand Dibao, and she seemed to be quite familiar with her tone. Seeing Li Meng's attention, Zhou Zhujun stuck out her tongue and explained with a giggle:

"This person is very interesting. I heard from my family... I heard that Wu Zongda is the disciple of the chief assistant Wen Tiren. Everything is the mastermind. Wen Tiren is very vulgar. He has no sense of a minister at all. What I heard from someone was interesting at that time, I remember that the disciple is not a guard dog, hehe..."

The girl said it very interestingly, and her voice was also crisp and pleasant. Li Meng slowly raised her head, but there was no smile on her face. The girl said the nouns such as "Wu Zongda, Wen Tiren, Pavilion Minister" in a relaxed tone, but she was talking about the people at the highest level of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhou Zhujun was amused by what she said, and was smiling constantly there. After a while, she felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong. Li Meng looked at him thoughtfully. The girl didn't know where she was attracting attention. She was surprised to see if her clothes were dirty or something.

Li Meng turned his attention back to the publication, but made up his mind to inquire about what the Henan Governor and the governor of the State Councilor were surnamed Zhou later.

During lunch, Li Meng went to ask Meng En's brothers alone, Henan Governor Xuan Mo, and the governor's surname was Zhang. There were really no high-ranking officials in Henan Province.

The girl seemed to realize that her behavior of saying Dibao in the morning was a bit inappropriate, and her coping methods were quite interesting. Instead, she followed Li Meng and wanted to see how Li Meng reacted. Li Meng has been here for so many years and has modern life experience as a foundation. Cleverness and calmness are enough, so naturally she won't let the girl see anything, but everything is as usual.

Although it shows that the modern trend is open, it is rare to be as bold as this girl. She is entangled with a man like this and is not afraid of something happening.

Fortunately, nothing happened. The girl obviously turned her attention to the ship and both sides of the river bank to Li Meng. She was extremely interested in Li Meng's lifestyle similar to ascetics, as well as the training and daily routine of salt. She also imitated for a while, and soon she stepped down with groans.

For Li Meng, having such a tail is a bit troublesome, but it can also relieve boredom. He is still a cute girl. The salt boatman below has different eyes. He looked at Li Meng very much and thought that Li Erlang had such great ability and obeyed the girl in a few days.

The boat sailing on the river was not so boring because of this girl. A few days later, the fleet, which had no delays, entered the Luoshui River at Hulao Pass and then went straight to Luoyang.

According to the Meng brothers who led the way, the private salt in Jiningzhou finally arrived in Luoyang. The route of Shaanxi Qingyan mentioned by Li Meng still needs to be inquired from the old relationship in Luoyang City.

Before getting ashore, Li Meng, who was wary of it, specially sent Salt Ding to make a small boat to inquire. When the news of the return was reported, it was calm on the shore and there was no way to see anything wrong. This was to dock the boat and everyone went ashore. Luoyang is a major city in the world. Many dynasties placed the capital here. Now it is the Dingfu, the vassal king of Emperor Chongzhen, who is closest to Emperor Chongzhen, and has also been built here.

When Li Meng was in Kaifeng, he was already shocked by Kaifeng City. Who would have thought that he would be shocked a little too early when he came to Luoyang City. The salt diners naturally sighed, but the girl's eyes seemed to be glowing, and her face was full of curiosity and excitement, and she was almost cheering.

Originally, Li Meng was wary of the girl doing something in Luoyang City, but when she saw her expression, she looked like a child who was traveling with adults, and she gave a few laughs and tears. The warning was not to run around, so as not to get lost with the brigade. The girl looked around excitedly, and agreed without any conspiracy.

If Kaifeng City is prosperous, then Luoyang will give people a completely extravagant feeling. After entering the city, you will not realize that outside the city is already a hell on earth.

Such a rich and rich delusion is the so-called prosperity of the end of the world. Compared with the girl who looked around and looked around, she wanted to compare with the girl who didn’t have enough eyes. Li Meng’s sense of eagerness became more and more serious. She had no mood at that time when she visited Kaifeng City, but she just had to finish the business quickly.

Li Meng was anxious, and Meng En and his brothers naturally knew that, like Kaifeng, they settled in the inn by the ferry in Luoyang, and Meng En led the way to take him into the city to do business.

I didn't know if I should have brought the girl with me, but Zhou Zhujun was really making a fuss. Li Meng just took her with her to rest assured. When she heard that Li Meng wanted to take her into the city, the girl was naturally very excited.

The place where Meng En and the others led Li Meng to go was on the largest and most prosperous street in Luoyang City, in front of a rather grand shop. The layout of this shop looked familiar, and it was clearly the style of a salt store. There were two men standing at the door. Logically, this man was also extraordinary. Logically, even if the salt shop was of a big style, the men at the door always had to welcome customers enthusiastically. However, even if Li Meng and his group appeared at the door of the shop, the men still looked so arrogant that they raised their nostrils to the sky and ignored them.

"Why doesn't this store have a signature?"

The question was Zhou Zhujun following behind, and Meng En said to Li Meng with a low smile:

"Please wait, please contact me if you are younger."

Seeing Meng En quickly walked to the guys, whispered a few words, stuffed a few pieces of silver, then he saw a smile on the guy in the salt store, and one of them turned around and entered the store.

Meng En went to deal with him, and one of his cousins ​​explained in a low voice to Li Meng. When he heard this, he was shocked. This salt store was actually the property of King Fu Qiansui. King Fu was considered to be Chongzhen's uncle and the son who was most loved by Emperor Wanli. When he was named the vassal king, the cabinet had to argue with him because Emperor Wanli wanted to enthrone too much land, which was the reduction of the number, but that number was already needed to dig the land in provinces outside Henan.

When Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was trembling in the palace. The food and water were sent in by his concubines who lived in the palace, for fear of being harmed. When he was walking on thin ice, King Fu sent dozens of guards to protect the emperor's personal safety. This was a timely help.

Wanli's favorite son has such a relationship with the current Emperor Chongzhen. King Fu is the highest among the relatives in the world. King Fu has no good reputation among the people and is greedy and stingy. The nearly two million acres of land captive production was already extremely rich, but King Fu still felt unsatisfied and opened shops everywhere to make a profit.

Salt and iron are both specialized in the state, but King Fu opens salt shops in Luoyang City and Henan Prefecture (Henan Prefecture, Henan Province, the city is Luoyang City) to buy and sell salt goods. This is actually a pride of selling private salt. Although the Henan inspection is also vicious, who dares to offend King Fu, so no one dares to take care of this salt shop and makes a fortune.

Because Luoshui, the Yellow River and the Canal are connected, King Fu's salt shops are generally sold with Huai salt. However, even if Huai salt is sold privately by official salt, the salt merchants in Huai have their own records. Many things are quite inconvenient. For example, selling salt at the junction of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan, not only the people sell salt there, but also the chaotic troops in various places have to eat salt.

This was what made Wenru Trading Company seize the opportunity and take the opportunity to sell Shandong salt vendors that had never been able to sell in the past. Meng En's brother said there, and naturally there was no intention of avoiding Zhou Zhujun around him. The girl opened her eyes wide and listened there intently.

King Fu was a relative of the Ming Dynasty and should be the most iron-killed supporter of the Ming Dynasty. But in order to make a fortune, he actually did business with the chaotic people and the army. The so-called greed of profit is the best portrayal.

After saying that, before Li Meng could express his opinion, the girl beside him curled her lips and said disdainfully:
