Chapter 669: Qingliu, the capital

Originally, most of the people living in Dongcheng, the capital were officials, but in recent years, more businessmen came from, and many large shops and warehouses were opened.

The reason is very simple. The official road at the east gate of the East City of the capital is exactly the one connected to Tianjin Wei. The exchanges between Tianjin Wei and the capital are all through this official road. The flow of people and logistics are extremely prosperous, so naturally many merchants buy home business nearby.

The residence of Li Sancai, the Fujian Department of the Ministry of Revenue, is also here. Yuanwailang is not a high-ranking official. Regardless of his position, there are certain regulations on the house and cannot exceed the rules.

However, the three-entry house made it extremely exquisite. The servants lived in the house next to them, and the coachman had another residence. The several houses were connected together, so the place was not small, and it was no worse than those of the fourth-rank third-rank officials.

After all, Yuanwailang is the deputy doctor. He has a high grade but is not very affordable. Even if he has the means to make money, he should be low-key and restrained to avoid being jealous of others.

The person who can do this and everyone takes it for granted is Li Sancai. Who doesn’t know that his family is rich, and who doesn’t know that his family is a huge businessman in Tongzhou?

Li Sancai once wrote a memorial to the Daming Sect, saying that Wang Tongjianhu's army was a dead soldier with a illegitimate intention. Although he was reprimanded afterwards, he became even more famous in the capital.

In addition, he has been generous in recent years and likes to get along with Zhou and Ji, and has vaguely become the leader of young officials of the Qingliushi in the capital. Even the senior officials of the six ministries of the cabinet dare not underestimate him.

After meeting Gu Xiancheng, the head of the Ministry of Revenue, Li Sancai's reputation rose to another level. Gu Xiancheng was born in a humble background. Although he had excellent grades in the imperial examination, because he had no background, he especially liked to join in and participate in the struggles of various bigwigs in the court.

Li Sancai likes to be a generous and righteous celebrity, so some things are naturally inconvenient to do. To say, Gu Xiancheng is just right, but Gu Xiancheng is from a humble background, has no foundation, and has no financial resources. Although he is willing to do things, he is powerless. When Li Sancai met him, he hit it off.

When people come back from the yamen every day, there are always endless tourists coming to Li Sancai's mansion. Some people think there are many like-minded people here, some people think it can become famous here, and some people think it can be used as a supporter. Qingliuzi and young officials naturally gather here.

Of course, there are also high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital who want to use and instigate this power. However, for Li Sancai, the more people come to the door and the more people they get to know, even if the more people they use, his reputation will be higher and the greater the benefits it will be.

Although words are useless, everyone praises this reputation and benefits. He has become a chief officer of the Fujian Department. Among the people who seem to be promoted normally and are qualified to be promoted, Li Sancai has the least qualifications. Strictly speaking, he has not yet reached the age of promotion.

The officials from all over the place were all afraid of the connections and public opinion in Li Sancai's hands, or wanted to use it, and gave the green light everywhere, which allowed Li Sancai to get this position.

"Have you sent the 1,000 taels of silver from Chen Ge?"

"When I say that to the master, I have already handed it to their family yesterday, and Chen Ge is so grateful."

Hearing the servant's answer, Li Sancai just waved his hand and signaled him to retreat. He looked at Gu Xiancheng next to him and said with a smile:

"Uncle Shi (Gu Xiancheng's name), do you think there is no need to spend this money?"

Gu Xiancheng coughed dryly and said a little embarrassedly:

"Chen Ge has been removed from his fame and ordered to return home. Brother Daofu gave him 100 taels of silver, so why bother so much?"

It was getting darker and the lights were already lit in the room. Li Sancai reached out to make a seat. He and Gu Xiancheng had not known each other for a long time, but the relationship between the two parties was extremely close, and there was nothing to be polite about each other. Gu Xiancheng did it, and Li Sancai spoke again:

"Zou Yuanbiao and others angered Zhang Juzheng that day, and were either dismissed from fame or possessed from afar. Who in the capital thought that they had an office and had their positions restored? But now they are in the capital, with a rising reputation. Chen Ge and others are now in the capital. Who knows if they will recover in the future?"

Gu Xiancheng nodded, Li Sancai lowered his voice a little, and said again:

"For my brother, I don't need any money. If Chen Ge loses, we will watch coldly and advocate righteousness in the future. Who will stand up and speak out?"

"Brother Daofu has thought it through carefully, but I am so worried."

Gu Xiancheng said with some shame, Li Sancai waved his hand and said with a smile:

"Uncle, you don't have to be humble. You have great talents, but it's not the day to show off, but you don't have to hurry. As long as you continue doing this, you will sooner or later enter the cabinet and become the minister."

The two of them were happy, but there was Changsu knocking on the window outside the window, then raised their voices and said:

"Master, I've found out some news, so how can I come in and report it?"

"Uncle Shi is here, he is my own family, you say that's it."

With permission, the long-time boy ran in with respect and gave Gu Xian a favor. This was also a custom, and Gu Xiancheng was familiar with him, and he was slightly straightened and ready to listen.

"The two masters must have learned about the six departments of the cabinet. The young man asked about the news from the Jinyiwei."

"Oh, what are the actions of that child Wang Tong?"

Gu Xiancheng asked with great interest, Changsui nodded with a smile, and said:

"Wang Tong's next article today says that the Jinyiwei is in the capital, and all the strong men of the thousand households in the capital are considered new members. Except for all those who are on duty in the city, they will go out of the city for training. Luo Sigong, the commander of the Jinyiwei, has already approved this, and thousands of households are registering the list everywhere."

"It's really a young man's character, extremely ridiculous. The soldiers in the Jinyi Guard in the capital were nearly 10,000, most of them were lazy people. I don't know how much trouble they caused in such a struggle."

Li Sancai smiled and commented, saying, "After the interface, I'm interested in it:

"The master is right. Ren Tongzhi and the other two assistants are not allowed. He said that he might have delayed the work in the city, and several thousand households were making trouble openly or secretly. Luo Sigong has always been unable to suppress people. In the end, he only agreed to let him train the two thousand households in the south city. If the results are good, train the others."

Gu Xiancheng slapped his palms and said:

"I don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick. Now Wang Tong is so weak that he has gone a little bit of power. He is a country warrior who thinks he is a little brave and can be rampant in the capital with a little cleverness. He will have trouble with him next."

Li Sancai was silent, letting Changsui continue to speak, Changsui nodded and said:

"Send people from other places back to tell Xiao that Wang Tong went to work that day, riding a horse and wearing armor, fully armed, not like he was going to kill people when he took office. Many people were frightened at that time and were quite angry at Wang Tong's domineering and arrogant. This time Wang Tong was making a fuss again, and they were unwilling to do so, and they were all ready to make trouble for him."

If the new official takes office and his subordinates make trouble, it will really make the new official look dirty. If the people around him look down on him, they will not do things smoothly in the future. Hearing this, Li Sancai also smiled, and Gu Xiancheng was even more flirting. Chang Sui said there:

"Wang Tong said that he would do it after the training, and that no one could do it."

Li Sancai nodded slowly, Gu Xiancheng looked at him with a side face, and Li Sancai said in a deep voice:

"Ming** will contact a few familiar censors. Wang Tong does these things and it should be possible to impeach him from the perspective of disturbing the people."

Gu Xiancheng nodded, Li Sancai sat upright, waved his hand and asked Changsui to retreat. When the door was closed there, Li Sancai spoke again, but this time he made a lower voice and whispered:

"You go to Yan Qing's side, and then to Li Zhi's side, and say that if it is effective, just Qingliu's comments are not enough, they should also increase their efforts everywhere. In addition, you go to Shen Shixing's side and tell Mr. Shen that if he has any thoughts, we can do it here, and whether Wang Tong's side has any actions is all in the minds of Mr. Shen."

"The door to Shen Shixing Mansion is difficult to enter. I went there several times but I was blocked back."

"If you can follow the path of Tongge Lao and do things for him, it will be more useful than Yan Qing and others, so you can try it."

The two of them whispered, but at this time there was no sage truth and the truth of loyalty and righteousness. It was the biggest meaning of betting on both sides. If people outside heard it, they would probably be shocked to lose their chin.

Without saying a few words here, the Changsui outside shouted again:

"Master, the second manager of Tongzhou Prefecture is here."

Li Sancai frowned and said to himself:

"Come at this time, I came in before the city gate."

When the two managers entered the room, there was no need to mention sweat on their foreheads, and they looked anxious. After a few breaths, they reported:

"Young Master, all eight shops in our Tianjin Guard have been sealed."

"What?"

When Li Sancai heard this, he suddenly stood up from his chair. Nearly 70% of his business in Tongzhou was transferred to Tianjin Wei, and eight companies were blocked at once, which was equivalent to strangling his wealth to death. However, the news was too sudden and it was completely unprepared.

When the house just got the news, he heard a noise outside. Li Sancai was upset. Just as he was about to curse, he heard a few screams outside. The door of the house was pushed open again. A servant wearing Jinyiwei's uniform had already come in.

Seeing this big man come in, Li Sancai and Gu Xiancheng both stood up in panic. The second manager fell to the ground directly. The officer looked cold and said:

"Your second manager comes to your door, and Lord Li also knows the news about the Tianjin Weifeng Store."

Li Sancai nodded at a loss, and the officer said again:

"My Lord Wang has something to tell you. If you want to continue opening a store and continue to maintain peace of life, just shut up and make small moves behind your back to let your family go out to beg for food"—
