.Wang Chonggu has been very annoyed recently. As the prefect of Songjiang, he is under great pressure, has insomnia, anorexia and anxiety. Even his wife has soaked him three times of wine, which shows that Lian is
Things have been affected. All I can say is to read
The source of his troubles was nothing more than food problems. Driven by Su Zuo Mansion, the food prices in Songjiang were fluctuating all the way, and they had reached a horrifying place
Bu, he didn't have the kind of great man like Hai Rui who could suppress the scene. The power of the city was naturally in chaos. There were many people who hoarded the goods, and they were robbed and thieves.
There are countless prisons, but public security has not improved yet.
What's even more serious is that Songjiang is still the front line to resist Japanese pirates. The shortage of food has made the morale of the army unstable. The crime of crimes has been repeatedly banned, and the combat effectiveness has been
The decline was very strong. If the Japanese pirates came here at this time, the Shanghai defense line he worked hard to manage would probably not be an opponent at all.
Seeing that her husband was worried and at a loss, Mrs. Wang, who had never believed in gods and Buddhas, also set up an incense table in the mansion, and worshiped the Buddha every day, and was pious.
I pray that the Japanese pirates will not come.
After dinner that day, I saw Mrs. Wang burning incense again. Wang Chonggu was having fun in pain and laughed at her and said, "I have received my wife's wishes, but now we are the Daming Taoist.
If you teach the world, it is better to be in charge of county officials now. It is better to worship the Three Purities."
But her wife disagreed: "People say that Taoism practices the Supreme Being Forgetful Love, and this is not false at all. If you don't believe it, look at our current saints.
The Tao was so cultivated that he could not even see his own son. If he used this, the Three Pure Ones might be even more unhuman and could not count on him." He said that, and he clasped his ten paths toward the Tathagata Buddha: "Remain the end of the world,"
It's good in the West and humane."
"The monk is the pure six senses, and he doesn't care about the world," Wang Chonggu laughed and said, "Don't leave your hair, don't marry, don't have children, break the rules.
OK, what kind of humanity is there to speak of?"
"You can't say that," said Mrs. Wang. "You have to listen to the Buddhist holy land, which is the same as my pickled yamen?" A chat after the meal was a good place to go.
loose.
"Don't believe it." Mrs. Wang said with a stern remark: "There is a broken corner of "Black Chicken Kingdom", which means that the King of Black Chicken once loved monks, but the Buddha gave Wenshu.
The Bodhisattva came to save him and enjoy his happiness. Manjushri was very jealous and did not want to see others. He had been deliberately transforming into an ordinary monk and begging for alms with the king.
"You woman is making arrangements," Wang Chonggu laughed and said, "How can the Bodhisattva's true body and Dharma image be easily shown to others? Why does it bring jealousy?" He didn't
Alas, I don’t know these scenes when watching the show.
"Why isn't it jealous? Mrs. Wang said: "Even if we can't meet, we'll just tell the king with kind words. He insisted on speaking ill of each other, and was rude and clever.
The king of the black chicken. He didn't know that he was a Bodhisattva, so he tied him up and sent him to the river for three days and three nights."
After hearing what she said, Wang Chonggu nodded and said, "This king is still too kind. If it were in our Ming Dynasty, he would have been 100 sticks in the court and sent a gift of 3,000 miles."
He said with a smile and said, "This play has a flaw. How could Manjushri Bodhisattva capture the magic power and soak it in the water?"
"This is exactly where he is insidious. Three days later, the king let him go, and he went back to cry to Tathagata, slandering the King's Buddha for being blasphemous. Even he
This is a guide that dares to bully even this. Tathagata pushed the king down from the well and was immersed for three years to repay Manjushri's hatred for the floods for three days." Mrs. Wang said in anger: "
Manjushri was particularly unsatisfied and turned his mount into a fake king, sleeping with the queen every day, although later it was said that the beast was (horse fan)
If you have no blessings, you will be able to live up to your own good. But this move will also ruin the ethics of the rules and regulations, which is extremely abominable!"
After saying that, Mrs. Wang concluded: "Isn't this just like a filthy official in the yamen who does all the bad things under the guise of a master, eat and get a slap in order to bully men and women, and even
Even if he often kills people's lives, he can make all the accounts on the master?"
"Okay, what you said is reasonable." Wang Chonggu couldn't help but laugh: "But we can't use this to show that Buddha is also a vulgar person, after all, he is a misunderstanding.
I kept him blind and did it without him."
"Okay, I'll give you an example of a Buddha." Mrs. Wang seemed to be completely convinced by her husband, and said, "A few days ago, after listening to the last episode, Tang Seng's master and apprentice history,
After the disaster, I finally arrived in the West and met the Tathagata. Because I didn’t understand the “rules”, I didn’t give any “personnel” to the two “books” who were in charge of scriptures, and I was given a gift from others.
The blank scriptures were gone. If there weren’t any kind elders who could not read it, they would have secretly pointed it out. The four masters and disciples worked hard for a while, wouldn’t they have been wasted?”
"Let the Buddha complain and punish two letters!" Wang Chonggu also said angrily.
"I've been looking for trouble, but the Buddha did not punish those two books." Mrs. Wang said in disbelief.
"Why?" The difference between this and the Buddha in Wang Chonggu's heart is too big.
"The Buddha explained this: "I went down the mountain to the monks and monks at that time, and recited this sutra with him at the house of Zhao, the elder Zhao, the kingdom of Shravas, to ensure that the living in his family is safe.
The deceased was transcendent and only got him back with three dou and three liters of rice grains of gold. I also said that they were too cheap and taught that their children and grandchildren had no money to use it." "Mrs. Wang glanced at it.
Wang Chonggu said: "In the end, the master and disciple took out the Zijin Bo Meng for dinner, and then they exchanged the scriptures with words."
Wang Chonggu laughed again and said, "It's better for the Buddha to have this mouthful. It seems that the wife is right. Xitian Lingshan and our yamen, sure enough
There is something imaginative about it.”
"So, it's like your man's hands are short and not good at not giving others any services." Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "As long as I offer more sacrifices, kowtow more. Buddha's name is the only one who can give me more sacrifices.
After receiving it, it will definitely not appear."
"Haha, I hope this is the case!" Wang Chonggu laughed loudly, as if the haze in recent days had dissipated a lot.
The couple were laughing, and then they heard the knock on the door and remembered it. They quickly stopped laughing and sat upright. Wang Chonggu then asked in a deep voice: "What's the matter?"
?”
"Sir, there is a scholar outside the door who posted a post saying that he wanted to see you." The voice was the manager of the mansion.
"Don't you understand the rules? The mansion gate is locked. What else can you see?" Wang Chonggu said unhappily: "Let him come again tomorrow!"
"He said that you will see him immediately after reading the reply." The manager outside said depressedly: "I heard that he was so angry that the villain dared not refuse without authorization."
"What's the name? Wang Chonggu asked.
"Zhang Fengpan." The manager replied.
"What? Ziwei?" His nephew Zhang Siwei was named Fengpan, but he was an official in Beijing. Wang Chonggu was so shocked that he immediately opened the door and took the post to see it.
Sure enough, I saw the three big words "Zhang Fengpan" written on it, but looking at the font, I don't think it was written by Zhang Siwei.
Looking at it again, Wang Chonggu found a line of boys as big as rice grains under the three big characters. He went to the lamp to look carefully and then he could see clearly that he was a "colleague"
With five words of friend, he said softly: "Zhang Fengpan's colleagues and friends?"
"It turned out to be a liar!" The person in charge seemed to have been fooled by a great deal and said angrily: "It's a life to dare to trick the magistrate outside the government office."
I'm tired of it, I'll go now and he'll catch it!"
"Slow!" Wang Chonggu shook his head and said, "Qing him comes in."
"Ah?" The manager had to muffled: "Yes."
"Be kinder." Wang Chonggu said in a deep voice: "Low down."
Seeing the adults looking serious, the person in charge dared not be negligent, so he quickly went out to Qing people.
"Madam, please help me dress." Wang Chonggudao, he is wearing a home robe now. Although it is loose and comfortable, it would be too rude if he meets people.
It's right.
While taking his chestnut cloud pattern over to serve him and put it on, Mrs. Wang asked, "Master, who is that person?"
"Eighty times are serious words." Wang Chonggu said softly: "Zi Wei is in the cabinet, and he has not many colleagues, and the only one in Jiangnan is the "Shen Suzhou"
One more.”
"Does Lord Shen need to beat like this?" Mrs. Wang said in surprise: "As long as we report the name, we should not open the middle door to greet us?"
"Of course there is a reason for it." Wang Chonggu whispered: "Nothing else, the crime of "resigning from office without permission" alone will be very troublesome."
After putting on the clothes, he said to his wife: "It may be very late. You go to bed first, don't wait for me."
"Yes." After saying the serious matter, Mrs. Wang will not drag her back.
When Wang Chonggu stepped into the study, he saw a silent blue gauze hanging down, sitting in the guest seat with a leisurely expression on his face.
Close the door with his backhand, Wang Chonggu lowered his voice and said, "Oh, my lover Chen, where are you singing? He ran from Suzhou to Songjiang outside.
?”
"I sang your Shanxi Bangzi "Xiao Jie Nian"," said silently and laughed: "Mr. Jianchuan, you want to pick up your brother."
Wang Chonggu smiled and asked him to sit down and said, "I want to help you, but I am a clay Buddha now crossing the river, and I can't protect myself. Apart from shaking the flag for you
There was no way out." He naturally knew what silence was here to block the hole first.
"Mr. Jianchuan is a wise man. He should know that the accident originated in Suzhou. Suzhou is determined by Songjiang. Suzhou is uncertain and Songjiang is uncertain," he said.
He said with a face: "It's just helping people. Seeing that I'm running over hundreds of miles, Lord Wang also asks for help."
"Brother Zhuoyan, I admit you are right." Wang Chonggu smiled bitterly and said, "But although I, Songjiang, also produces the grain that the landlords can collect, are the food that can be collected.
There was not much, so I had to prepare grain and military rations on the front line." As I said, he spread my hands and said, "Even if I were covered with iron, how many nails were made of iron? Is it true
I am powerless, please forgive me.”
"Hey, can't you really help?" Chen Si said bitterly.
A few beautiful words, Wang Chonggu still wanted to say: "My words are wrong! You and I are Linfu. Of course, we have to support each other..." As he said that, he slapped his chest
Du said, "This is it! You can stay here first, and I will lend you a loan tomorrow!"
Silently said, "Thank you for your good intentions," and shook his head and said, "But borrowing food. I'll do it myself, your parents' official
, I will not be able to remove the favors I owe to the people in the future.”
Seeing that he was thinking about others so much, Wang Chonggu felt embarrassed and said embarrassedly: "It's okay, it's okay." But his silence was very righteous and he insisted on not letting go.
When he asked for help, Wang Chonggu followed the flow and said, "Okay, you can borrow whatever you want in Songjiang Prefecture, and you can take away any of the borrowed ones! I won't keep a grain of food.
!”
This is the artificial intention of Chen Si... He ran to Wang Chonggu's territory and took away more than ten or hundreds of thousands of grains at once. If not
Say hello in advance and get his consent. Lord Wang must be unhappy, it would be great - because although Wang Chonggu is nothing,
But the huge group behind him that was faintly visible was something that must be faced and valued in silence.
"With this sentence from my brother, I feel much more at ease." I smiled silently, "Don't worry, as long as the troubles in Suzhou are solved, Songjiang's dilemma will be
It's self-defeating."
"I hope this is the case!" Wang Chonggu was silent for a moment and then said quietly: "My words, have you ever thought about it? Why did things reach this point?"
"Because I want to open,,,," Chen Si sneered: "The City (Zhoubai) has hindered these people's eyes."
"Some people say that officials should think twice," Wang Chonggu said: "Have you heard this?"
"Think about danger, think about change, think about retreat." Nodded silently.
"Yes," Wang Chonggu nodded and said, "Then have you ever thought about the way out of this sentence?"
"I have no way out." Chen Shu laughed and said, "There is only one way, that is, keep going."
"Young and energetic!" Wang Chonggu sighed and said, "You can't handle those people alone. If you continue to do it alone,
Even if I pass this time by chance, I will always fail."
"Should this sentence be silent?" Chen Si said seriously: "Do you want me to give up now, beg for bones, and return home?"
"Haha..." Wang Chonggu burst into laughter and said, "How old are you, you will retire and return home." Then he broke down: "I mean, you should join forces with some strength
Help and fight side by side, so that the chance of winning will be greater."
"Mr. Jianchuan's words are the most reasonable." Chen Wen said in his heart: "I don't know where to ask for strong help?"
"That..." Wang Chonggu said slowly: "I know a few of them, so I can introduce them to you." He said and said, "But what are you talking about now."
It’s too early, so I’d better wait until you pass this level and find another opportunity to talk about it slowly.”
The silent face nodded calmly. Although Wang Chonggu did not say it clearly, he knew who the other party was referring to!
That is the famous, powerful, wealthy, and far away and close to you - Shanxi merchants!

The so-called Shanxi merchants are the Shanxi merchant gangs. They are an alien in northern China whose farming ideas dominate the absolute dominance. They value the strong business culture, and they are very important.
To the area around Fujian and Guangxi, where sin is restless.
What makes them give up their attachment to land for thousands of years is the land in the past two hundred years. The vegetation in Shanxi has been severely degraded and the land has become increasingly poor.
It is barren, and with drought and rain all year round, the land can no longer nurture the people of the Three Jin Dynasties.
Because Shanxi people know that if they leave the land, they can only do business, and the best business opportunities will appear by their side as destined!
At that time, in order to defend against Mongolia, the imperial court established nine sides. The army stationed in the front line of Xuanda. The army consumed huge grain and rice, and the transportation costs were huge, so the imperial court could not afford it.
.The "method of opening up" allows merchants to provide grain, rice and cloth to the army of Bianzhen. It has various needs, as a consideration, which can be exchanged for salt.
The imperial court used this method to solve the military pay in the northern border towns and collect the salt pounds.
When it came to the salt tax, Shanxi merchants also emerged.
During the process of going to the west, Shanxi also formed a group of wealthy families, who trained their children to study. The combination of officials and businessmen further consolidated their own land
In recent years, Yangzhou salt merchants are from Shanxi, and they are not able to squeeze out other competitors from Yangzhou.
The Shanxi merchants rely on are the scholars they have cultivated themselves.
After so many years, this is Wang Chonggu, and the young one is Zhang Siwei, who is combined with the old, middle-aged and young generations. His combat power cannot be underestimated.
What made the silence even more interesting was that these people were very low-key, not showing any signs of water, and remained neutral in almost all disputes, as if they were alive.
The purpose of this is to safeguard the interests of the increasingly large Shanxi merchant group...
What kind of interests can make these "noble" officials willing to serve the merchants with the smell of money?
Ruohan, who is deeply in tune with this, has calculated the calculation for Chen Si... She did not look at the land in the west, but only Yangzhou in front of her said that the capital of Shanxi salt merchants is three.
Tens of millions of taels can make a profit of 99 taels per year. These profits are lost, and the tax is one million taels; donate to monks and Taoists, build buildings, and donate funds to school.
, and the aspects of clearing and discharging are about three million taels... Of course, this is not a mind. It is a shrewd Shanxi businessman who understands that big trees attract wind and money
It's so jealous that they spend this huge sum of money, on the one hand, they cultivate scholars who tend to be themselves, and on the other hand, they are also accumulating people for themselves.
To win the favor of the people, then make friends with officials through bribery, take three steps to make their status extremely stable and no one can shake it.
And even if you spend three million taels a year, you still have five million taels of net profit - just one Yangzhou and a group of Shanxi salt merchants have the net income to be as big as
The annual income of the Ming Dynasty was comparable! If the Shanxi merchants stationed in border areas in Xuanda and Zhangjiakou were added, what would their annual total profits be?
Ruohan said that it should be no less than seven million taels.
The idea is to be clear every year.
It is not difficult to understand why Wang Chonggu and others have different interests than their colleagues.
