Chapter 500 Chenghua 9 Years
In October, when the frost was falling and the wind was howling, Wu Youwei was taking stock of his family property in Moring Mountain Villa. In fact, he was just looking at the ledger to see how much money he had.
Someone came to ask to see him again, butler Lin Su's expression was very strange: "Master, it's Baiyunzi Taoist priest of Baiyun Temple."
Two years ago, they came here once, and when they left, they looked like they had seen a ghost... Oh, no, it was as if they had seen Daoqi, but this time they came, they were much calmer.
Wu Youwei was taken aback: "What are they doing here?"
Even if you want to find fault, if you didn't find it back then, it's been two years, come again... isn't it too late?
However, as a local religion, it is still held in the suburbs of Beijing, and Wu Youwei cannot be seen.
In fact, he was also curious, what are they doing here?
Bai Yunzi was still the same, followed by those same people.
When he saw Wu Youwei, he nodded his head: "Master Wu, it's been a long time."
"Not too long, just two years." Wu Youwei asked them to sit down, and some people served tea and snacks, he looked at Bai Yunzi incomprehensibly: "I don't know who the Taoist priest is?"
If he came to find fault, he would definitely... not be afraid!
Sui Yangzi also came, and this time, the kid's face was not so blue, but his complexion was rosy, and his small eyes...was quite weird.
"In the past two years, Pindao has contacted fellow Taoists from all over the world and experimented many times. The pills that have been handed down...why...why...are they all poison?" Bai Yunzi Very entangled: "But, in the Taoist scriptures... that's exactly how it's recorded...."
Didn't the seniors all become immortals, but were all poisoned to death?
There was no way, he couldn't see Wu Youwei's immortal masters, so he could only come to Wu Youwei, a mortal.
"That's it, actually..." Wu Youwei was also a little speechless. This is a shattered dream and a crisis of faith!
"Actually what?" Bai Yunzi really wanted to hear what Wu Youwei had to say.
Wu Youwei thought for a while, and explained this way: "It's like this, you see, at the earliest time, ginseng was not called ginseng, it was called goblin, and there was even a name called Haiyu, which is understandable, after all. What is the reason why it is called Haiyu because it grows in the soil? But it is called Haiyu in some ancient prescriptions. Ginseng has nothing to do with the sea, so I think the name of the medicinal material recorded in the prescription should be some Herbs, not what we thought...."
Although it was a bit far-fetched, it opened up a new way of thinking for them anyway. Bai Yunzi and the others couldn't accept all of them for a while, but they kept thinking about it.
There are many sects of Taoism with different traditions, especially some traditions have been passed down from generation to generation, or have been lost, and in ancient times, the "master-student inheritance" was emphasized, and there are various theories, and some things are even passed on by word of mouth. There is no writing paper.
As if he had been reborn, Bai Yunzi took a few apprentices, said goodbye in a hurry, and went back to toss again.
In winter and November, the autumn grains that were devastated in Guinea, Shaanxi, and Liaodong.
On Gengwu in December, the imperial "Wenhua Daxun" was completed.
That year, 25 vassal states and tribes including Ryukyu, Hami, Siam, Turpan, and Uzbek paid tribute, and the coastal vassal states complained even more, but Daming remained unmoved.
After all, if they want to help, they have to give priority to their own people. On the side of the Japanese lord, there are dozens of mines built there, and all kinds of real gold and silver are continuously transported to Daming. .
On the other hand, Annan withdrew from the territory of Laos.
No way, Daming said, this is the "Chenla Kingdom"!
The royal family of the fucking Chenla Kingdom is long gone!
Even the clan is almost wiped out, three or four generations have passed, who knows who is left?
So, it was temporarily taken over by Daming's navy.
But the navy is a garrison, not a local official. They just want to ensure that the land of Chenla is not lost, and they don't care about your subjects.
Chenla had a particularly hard time.
While trying to find ways to fill their stomachs, at the same time they have to organize effectively, against the Japanese pirates and pirates who landed on the enemy’s shore, dreaming of going back to the city at midnight, and an unknown tomorrow waiting for them, it’s really sad!
In the spring of the 19th year, on the first month of Bingwu, a great sacrifice to heaven and earth was held in the southern suburbs.
Because of Wu Youwei's oolong incident in the first month of the lunar year, Ming Dynasty has been very strict on public security in the past two years. After various policies were introduced, many people stopped, and those who didn't stop went to jail.Now people are not locked up in the prison. Once they make mistakes, they will go out to build roads and undergo labor reform if they make small mistakes;
Now even the prisoners' meals are saved in the prison.
Wu Youwei stood in the middle building of the Overseas Building and looked out. The street was full of people and brightly lit.
He did the math, and it has been 21 years since he came here.
Now 36 years old, he looks more mature.
"What are you looking at?" Wantong came over, stood behind him, and glanced down.
"It's nothing." Wu Youwei smiled: "You all don't let me go down for a walk, just go upstairs to see the scenery."
"Hey, there are too many people today, I don't want to look for you all over the city." Wantong touched his face and found it a little cold: "Stop standing here, it's so cold, go back to the back room. "
This place is inside the railing, there is no big glass to block it, although the outside is clear, but it is also very cold. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and it is the time when the lanterns are the brightest.
Wu Youwei couldn't let go of the beautiful scenery in front of him, so he glanced at it with nostalgia, but he couldn't stay because it was really cold.
Wantong glanced at him, feeling reluctant, and sent him into the back room, where everyone was playing. This is the top floor, which was contracted by two families today.
Wu Youwei sat inside, just in time for the dishes, braised rabbit meat, spicy rabbit head, Kung Pao rabbit diced, spicy rabbit meat, stewed rabbit meat with three yellow chickens, shredded smoked rabbit.
There is also the last rabbit meat hot pot.
"Why is this entangled with the rabbit?" Wu Youwei watched with joy.
"This year is the Year of the Rabbit, so this is called the Jade Rabbit Feast." Wu Xiaodao: "This table is precious. Fortunately, there are farmers raising rabbits in the suburbs of Beijing. I ordered rabbits from them."
Rabbits were not very easy to sell at the time, because there were some people who kept them in the wild, but rabbits were easy to feed, they could give birth, and they grew fast.
Because of this, anyone can raise it, and the ones who raise it are the first to sell for money. If they can't sell it, they can only eat it at home and make a tooth sacrifice.
Wu Xiao's purchase of rabbits also generated income for the common people.
"Okay, okay, Jade Rabbit Banquet, hehe!" Especially the shredded smoked rabbit, which was obviously torn up, but it was assembled into a whole rabbit, even the ears were still there.
Everyone started to take chopsticks, and just after eating a few mouthfuls, Wantong came up with a big food box and placed it in front of Wu Youwei alone.
Wu Youwei was stunned.
Wantong opened the food box, and inside was fried bean buns that were still sizzling, because there was a food stall downstairs that sold fried bean buns and fried cakes.
Wu Youwei: "...???"
"I see you have been looking at the railing for a long time. Do you want to eat? I bought some for you." This one is made of yellow rice and stuffed with red bean paste.
"Don't want to eat?" Seeing him in a daze, Wantong thought he had made a mistake.
"I want, I want to eat!" Wu Youwei smiled and rolled his eyes: "I want to eat."
How can you not want to eat it?
How can I not eat the things that I went out to buy in line with people in the cold weather?
Wantong bought a lot, at least this big pot was probably bought by him. Wu Youwei first distributed it to a few children who could already eat sticky food, and other people also took a symbolic one.The rest belonged to Wu Youwei.
And it's just right to eat at this time, neither hot nor cold.
This staple food is really not available in overseas buildings, because it is a snack, and it is only sold on the street. There are not only fried bean buns, fried rice cakes, but also fried yuanxiao.
In fact, it is a fried snack with a good flavor.
After the first month, it was February [-]nd. After the Ming court started writing, the first thing it did was to change the fiefdom.
Emperor Xianzong gave the territory of "Chenla" to his brother King De, so that King De would not always say that Shandong was poor and could not make ends meet. The most common sentence in the annual invitation booklet was "to make ends meet".
King De has three sons, and Chenla is big enough to be enfeoffed.
De Wang is not happy, he knows Zhenla, and it is always better than here in Shandong!
Shandong is actually very good here, but he doesn't like this fiefdom, because Shandong has the Confucian mansion, the sage of Confucius, and every gathering talks about a subset of classics and history. Of course scholars like it, but he doesn't like reading. He likes hunting!
In March Bingchen, Huguang was exempted from taxation and grain.
At the same time, King De moved and changed his title to "King of Chenla".
Bai Yunzi came to Wu Youwei again, and they found some things, but there were more things that were lost. This time, they came here to ask Wu Youwei for one thing: "Since... What happened, the reputation of the Daoist sect was hit hard, and now many small Taoist temples are almost unable to maintain it, Master Wu, look, can you think of a way out for the Daoist sect because your master is also a member of the Daoist sect?"
What way out can Wu Youwei think of?
He can only think of ways in terms of religious belief: "Then you can only do good deeds... Oh, Buddhist affairs! Can you find ways to do things?"
"A solution?" Bai Yunzi didn't quite understand.
"For example, do a temple for the fallen soldiers for free; pray for the Ming Dynasty for free; give porridge and medicine for the poor people for free..." Wu Youwei told him: "Also, take the initiative to pay taxes."
Taoism and Buddhism do not pay taxes, they are "people from other places".
Bai Yunzi said that he had thought about it, and then told the people in the Taoist sect....
Wu Youwei didn't dare to think about this kind of thing, it was useless to think about it, so he lifted his hand.
In summer and April, Ding Chou was exempted from taxes and grains from disasters in Henan.
News came from the border that Han Shen came to Daming to worship in person.
Hanshen only quelled the rebellion last year, but he came to Daming this year to pay homage. In addition to the long distance, he should have set off after the new year.
The end of April happened to be at the border.
Hearing that he was coming, Emperor Xianzong sent a message to receive him well and escort him to Beijing.
In June Yihai, Rare Shen had an audience.
Everyone thought that Han Shen was a strong man, but in fact, he was quite gentle and very young.
Emperor Xianzong was even more satisfied.
Wu Youwei followed him to take a look. He looked like a typical Weir man, and when he smiled, he was sunny enough.
Who knew that a few days later, Han Shen prayed to Emperor Xianzong for marriage!
He wants to marry Princess Xiuhuai, the daughter of Prince Xiu!
This show king is the fifth son of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen's concubine, mother Zhuang Jing'an Rongshu concubine Gao, princess Huang, Huang Yu's daughter, and the grandniece of Renzong's favorite concubine Huang Chong.
Zhu Jianshu was born on February 21st in the third year of Jingtai. He was granted the title of Xiuwang on the sixth day of March in the first year of Tianshun, and he became a fan of Runing Mansion on the seventh day of September in the sixth year of Chenghua.
After 15 years in office, he died on September 21th in the eighth year of Chenghua. He was buried in Xishan with the posthumous title Huai at the age of [-].
The princess has nothing to do, but the two concubines surnamed Chen each gave birth to a daughter.
The eldest daughter is Princess Xiuhuai, and the second daughter is Princess Xiuying.
Because neither of the two nieces has a father, Concubine Xiu brought two concubines and returned to live in Beijing. There is Prince Xiu's mansion, and the Queen Mother of Zhou often sees them on weekdays. For orphans and widows, Emperor Xianzong asked people to take care of them .
Who would have thought that she would meet Han Shen today, both of them are young and young, they fell in love at first sight!
"Isn't Daming not getting married?" Wu Youwei asked Wantong when he heard the news, "What's going on?"
"Originally, it was arranged for a young lady to "encounter" with him, who knew that he would meet the Princess..."
Wantong was also scratching his head: "The most important thing is, you're right!"
"Then let them be fulfilled." Wu Youwei said, "The two of you have already seen each other."
"The emperor is reluctant to part with Princess Xiuhuai." Wan Tongdao: "Even if Princess Xiuhuai is a clan daughter, her royal status cannot be erased. She is the emperor's niece and daughter. She lost her father since she was a child. Princess Xiuhuai's personality is relatively Strong, Princess Xiuying is just like her sister, a family of five women, if you don't have a strong character, you might have been bullied long ago."
Even with the support of the emperor's uncle, privately, there are some gossips in the circle of little girls.
King Xiu died early, Princess Xiu ate fast and recited Buddhism, and the two concubines were made side concubines to elevate the identities of the two princesses.
"Actually, it's good for them to leave here." Wu Youwei said: "The reputation of Kefu's daughter is not good after all."
Wantong thought about it.
Ding Chou in June, Chen Zheng broke Guangxi Yao, and at the same time, there are indigenous people in Yunnan who are dissatisfied with the profit sharing and want to trouble Wu Qiong. Who is Wu Qiong?
That is Yunnan's current chief political envoy, who was caught by the military and government.
Those people joined forces to coerce him to hand over part of the benefits. Wu Qiong knew that they were greedy. If you concede one point today, you may be asked to concede three points tomorrow.
The flower business is indeed very profitable, and there are all kinds of flowers everywhere in Yunnan. It can be said that the ground is full of money, but it depends on who is making money.
This is the way his uncle came up with, making various things with flowers, and keeping them fresh at low temperature on the way. Those people only saw the benefits and didn't know the hard work he spent... The more I think about it, the more angry I am, simply, this A political envoy who was born as a civil servant, with a large knife and a seven-shot long gun newly developed by the Firearms Bureau of the Ministry of Industry, went up to the city gate building. Scold me!
In the past few years in Yunnan, his biggest improvement is that he has learned various Miao dialects. Although it cannot be said to be universal, almost most of them can be understood.
Miao people don't just get scolded and don't answer back, but they don't have loudspeakers!
In addition, Wu Qiong was swearing at people on the city gate, so he had the upper hand.
After scolding each other for a long time, Wu Qiong persuaded them to make money with peace, but the other party had already been scolded out of anger, quit!
Wu Qiong also got angry: "It's hard to persuade the damned ghost with good words!"
After finishing speaking, he asked someone to open the gate of the city, and he rushed out with his weapon in hand, scaring the defenders and ran like desperately: This master can't make a mistake!
The brothers also rely on him to get promoted and get rich and marry their wives!
Although Wu Qiong was born as a Jinshi, he was taught martial arts by Wantong since he was a child. Later, Wantong knew that he was going to Yunnan, and brought him a lot of guns and ammunition through the back door. The supply of firearms has not been cut off all these years. In addition, the entire army of the Ming Dynasty is required to learn how to use firearms, and now the army of the Ming Dynasty is invincible.
And Wu Qiong is good at learning, but actually has better martial arts skills. This is probably due to the ancestors of the old Wu family, because the ancestors of the Wu family are the kind of martial arts masters who are good at martial arts.
Wu Qiong took the lead and beat the opponent to pieces.
The natives were all stunned, didn't they mean that the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were weak?
Why is this so fierce?
Not only did the leaders of the troublemakers be captured alive, but they also beat up the leaders of the various villages who came to make troubles and put them in prison.
They were locked up for three days, and people were sent to educate them every day. They will not beat you or scold you.
Three days later, everyone was let out in a daze. Wu Qiong had a grand banquet with them, and had a long-term chat with them. He used both soft and hard tactics to subdue them. Those diehards will really be punished. Put on the shackles and send them overseas to mine.
This way of dealing with life and death made the natives even more frightened. Why did they think that the Chief Executive was a good person before?
Obviously a devil!
After Wu Qiong finished the matter, he thanked the Mu Palace. Most of the officers and soldiers were from the Mu Palace. Without the support of the Mu Palace, he would not have been able to put down the rebellion so smoothly... In fact, it is not a rebellion. Those people combined, did not scan 500 people!
If a village can have hundreds of people, it is considered large.
The leaders of their few villages are actually just because their own village is too small, and the production of flowers is not as good as those of those big villages. Naturally, they don’t make much money, but other villages have a large population, so naturally they earn more money. Going to Dazhaizi is naturally valued by Wu Qiong. Although Wu Qiong also takes care of Xiaozhaizi, it is definitely not as good as Dazhaizi's various benefits.
After he came out of Prince Mu's Mansion, he returned to his home in Yunnan.
As soon as he entered the door, he was caught by his mother: "How is it? Are you injured?"
"No." Wu Qiong said with a smile: "Those people are totally vulnerable. When they heard the gunfire, they ran faster than rabbits. I went to chase the enemy. I'm tired. Look, they're all skinny!" It's not easy for the widowed mother Well, Wu Qiong never told her old man about the bloody storms outside, they were all chosen, and it was interesting to talk to her.
"Didn't you lose weight?" Wu Mengshi complained: "Come in and wash up, mother will cook you something delicious, what do you want to eat?"
"Well, I want to eat anything, and what my mother cooks is delicious." Wu Qiong said with a smile: "I haven't eaten enough after eating for so many years."
"Okay, mother will cook it for you!" Wu Mengshi happily ran to the kitchen.
Wu Qiong walked inside and into the backyard, and saw his wife taking care of the two children.
A man and a woman, the boy is running around, the girl is sitting there, and the wife is feeding her egg custard.
"Father!" The son ran over.
"Daddy." The daughter also called out.
Wu Qiong picked up her son: "How is it, are you good at home?"
"Good, good!" The son hugged his father's neck and giggled: "Dad, play, play!"
