Chapter 157 Jiangnan wind and rain will start
When Liu Mingqi received the news, he was taking everyone to play in Suzhou, a paradise on earth.
In his previous life, Liu Mingqi knew that Suzhou had the best garden in the world.
But at that time he was devoted to studying and had no money to travel during holidays, so he never came.
Besides, in modern times, many of Suzhou’s essence gardens have long been lost to the war. Where is it as beautiful as it was in ancient times?
So when Liu Mingqi came to Suzhou this time, she was really refreshed and dazzled.
No wonder so many rich people live in Suzhou!
The rich have to live here so that they can get to this world by themselves.
Suzhou has always been awesome. In addition to a bunch of rich and nobles, there are also endless talented people.
Dai Feihua, the second eleventh one on this list, was awarded the Jinshi family as a Jinshi, and was from Suzhou.
Dai Feihua is a talented man who crazyly admires Liu Mingqi. His family also took this opportunity to curry favor with Liu Mingqi.
So the Dai family arranged all the stays in Suzhou.
The Dai family is a famous salt merchant and has houses in Suzhou and Yangzhou. However, the main house and important family members live in Suzhou.
In Jiangnan, because there are too many rich merchants, there are also many children and scholars who support them, a complex network of relationships has been created.
Normally, the government's ability to restrain itself is no longer so great.
If the officials of the government are not tough and self-disciplined enough, Lin Zhenyuan, the governor of the Cao Transportation Office, and Bai Hengwang, the minister of the Salt Administration Office, are their role models.
Especially the Governor of Jiangnan.
What kind of character he is, then what will Jiangnan become.
Liu Renhuai in this position was a very skilled person. He was honest and upright, but he was absolutely not pedantic, so he firmly sat firmly in this position and had a good chance of becoming a deputy prime minister.
Normally, there is no need for the rich living in Jiangnan to have any intersection with the powerless and powerful royal family in Beijing.
Not only will he not be protected by power, he will be flirted with because of the sensitive identity of the royal family.
But Liu Mingqi is different.
First of all, he was the prince of Prince Yu's mansion. All the novel things in Prince Yu's mansion were made by him.
With the popularity of the flower essential oil, soap, toilet paper, sugar and white rabbit milk powder from Prince Yu’s Mansion in Jiangnan, as long as it can fit this line, it will be a matter of time before the Dai family can go up to another level.
What Jiangnan businessmen like most is doing business. Who doesn’t like this kind of business that only makes money but not lose money?
Then, Liu Mingqi is now the prince of the empire and one of the two princes that Dakang has the hope of ascending the throne.
Although even the people in Jiangnan know that King De has no intention of the throne, what if?
Now sell it in advance. If King De ascends the throne to the emperor in the future, wouldn’t that be a good fireworks?
Even if there isn't, the Dai family will not suffer any losses.
After all, Liu Mingqi has a third identity saint!
Reading is very popular in Jiangnan, and everyone admires the saint Liu Mingqi very much, which is even better than in the capital.
If Dai Feihua from the Dai family has the chance to become a disciple of a saint in the future, even if he is just a popular disciple, his reputation for the Dai family is very good!
Look!
The Dai family has considered it so meticulously, and he is truly a successful businessman!
For example, today, Liu Mingqi and the others opened an open-air party on the tiger hill.
Of course it is not the kind of sea feast, but it is commonly seen on TV. A group of ancient people sat down together, talked about poetry and essays, or sang loudly, and exuded the vitality of youth.
The nominal protagonist is Liu Mingqi. The eloquent Prince Yi, with his extraordinary gossip ability, talked about various interesting things in the capital, which made these scholars from Jiangnan amazed.
Many famous ladies have shiny eyes at Prince Yi and look interested in him.
That's right.
The customs of the people in Jiangnan are very open, and even ladies from a wealthy family can come out in groups to stroll.
From this, Liu Mingqi also knew why before the Spring Festival, Su Feng's daughter Su Xiaoxue dared to go straight to the capital with a few servants and maids alone.
Su Xiaoxue is very famous in Jiangnan and is also known as the "No. 1 Talented Girl in Jiangnan".
In this era, if you are the "No. 1 Beauty", most of them are girls from the Flower Building.
Normal ladies from home have always been mainly "talented women".
Of course, Liu Mingqi also has many fans.
Everyone mainly discussed poetry and novels with him.
Especially the drama that has been very popular in Beijing recently.
Well, the book had already spread to Jiangnan as early as the end of last year, and it quickly caused a sensation.
Countless infatuated men and women regard it as their spiritual food, and they wish they could see the live version of the opera earlier.
This is just like Liu Mingqi is waiting in modern times, big movies.
A group of people were having a hot conversation here, and suddenly an embroidered guard rushed over and handed a document in his hand to Du Wentao.
Du Wentao looked at it, his face changed drastically. After thinking for a while, he came to Liu Mingqi.
"Your Highness..."
He whispered: "The border reported urgently that Shi Wei dispatched more than 200,000 troops, and had already conquered the first line of defense in Jinzhou City in one fell swoop at the cost of killing and wounding tens of thousands of people. Not only did he surround Jinzhou City, but he also sent an army to penetrate the Ningyuan defense line! Now most of the Liaoxi Corridor has become their hunting grounds!"
Liu Mingqi just frowned, and Liu Mingjing's voice immediately paused.
This kid has always listened to all directions. Even if he was talking, he would not miss any information around him.
"Damn it! These bad rooms are messed up!" Liu Mingjing couldn't help but curse.
Everyone was very happy to talk and laugh, but suddenly when they saw this situation, their faces changed.
First of all, the commander of the embroidered cloak wearing a red cloak came to the front, and they felt something was wrong.
Then when everyone heard Liu Mingjing distort the topic and scolding him angrily, they couldn't help it.
"Little Prince, what's wrong?" asked a lady next to him.
Liu Mingjing did not answer immediately, but looked at Liu Mingqi.
Liu Mingqi nodded, and then he said, "I just received the news that the Shi Wei Zazi of the Sun has attacked our Jinzhou City and now surrounds Jinzhou and Ningyuan!"
"ah!?"
A group of young men and ladies who were used to being comfortable were all over the place.
The war is too far from Jiangnan.
Even when the previous dynasty was destroyed and when the Dakang was established, Dakang Taizu was not willing to fight in Jiangnan, but chose to persuade him to surrender.
Of course, like many places, Jiangnan is a member of his own tribe and has the advantage of righteousness, so they surrendered smoothly after a while.
Therefore, in terms of the large-scale war in Jiangnan, it can be traced back to a rebellion more than two hundred years ago.
What remains is the Japanese pirate incident decades ago, but the scale is not large.
In fact, there are now some scattered incidents of Japanese pirates coming to burn, kill, looting, but not many times.
Often, they were stopped by Zhoushan Navy as soon as they came and sent them directly to the sea to feed the fish.
In general, Jiangnan people are very lucky.
But now the people of Jiangnan have new concerns.
The reason is that after receiving the warning, the Governor Liu Renhuai of Jiangnan had spread the news after solemn analysis.
Now the entire Jiangnan knows that the Japanese are suspected of a large-scale invasion.
The Japanese pirates came from Japan. Although they were not affected by many people, they were just like beasts after being verbally circulated.
Because Jiangnan has not encountered war for a long time, the overall folk customs are relatively soft.
I remembered that I might encounter such a cruel enemy, and the public was panicked.
Before we encountered Japanese pirates, everyone was worried.
At this time, Gong Yuan posted articles every day, actively exploring various methods, and at the same time calling on the people to unite and fight against the Japanese.
So during this period, sales were suddenly increased, and even people in the countryside read articles, which made them famous.
In fact, many people were lucky enough to think that Jiangnan was guarded by the Northern Navy Fleet, and the general of the Hu Ben Guard Wanyan Yi had arrived day and night. The Japanese probably didn't dare to offend Hu Wei.
But when Liu Mingjing said this just now, these young men and ladies suddenly thought of bad things.
Quiyan is fighting against Datong.
Now Shi Wei has also fought against Jinzhou City and Ningyuan City.
They all took action. Will Japan take advantage of the opportunity of Dakang to come and plunder Jiangnan?
This is a very possible thing!
Japanese people are so vicious. Can they be stable when they see this Jiangnan flower world?
A young man said in a trembling voice: "Little Prince, then, the Japanese people...them, do you think they can really come to Suzhou?"
"I don't know, but you must not be prepared." Liu Mingjing said in a comprehensive consideration. "When I heard that the Japanese came, I must strengthen the walls and clear the fields. Those with cities hid in the city. Those in the countryside should just go into the mountains to hide for a few days! As long as the army of quelling the rebels arrives, they will naturally retreat, and it will be safe at that time."
A young lady had a clear expression of bitterness: "For a city like Suzhou, they must have sent a lot of people to fight, right? If they can't defend it...will... massacre the city?"
After her words fell, the group of people turned pale with fear.
Liu Mingjing was about to analyze, but Liu Mingqi next to him said calmly: "Don't doubt, with the cruel nature of Japanese people, they will definitely do this."
Liu Mingjing's mouth moved and did not speak.
He didn't understand why Liu Mingqi thought so extreme, but he knew that his cousin would never exaggerate.
The people next to him were frightened.
The lady originally wanted to seek comfort, but she asked Liu Mingjing to say "No", but she didn't know that His Highness, the saint, said so positively.
