Chapter 102 Just Curious

Xiao Yu, who hadn't slept much all night, got up very late, and his eyes were open until noon. The concubine You Shi happened to come in, holding a red cloth bag in her hand. Seeing him sitting up, she stepped forward and smiled: "Master, this was delivered by the second shopkeeper of the joint business just now, five hundred taels of silver. There are five pieces of flower cloth, two bottles of flower dew, two wash sets, and there are a lot of other things, so I won't talk about it."

Xiao Yu was not happy when he heard this, but was shocked. He sent silver early this morning, which clearly showed that everyone knew about what happened last night. There are many possibilities for the news to leak, and it is not necessarily Wang and Zhang. Xiao Yu was not as stupid as his concubine. He could understand so quickly that he was the key person and he could figure out where the money and food in the treasury were going.

Thinking of this, even if he was insatiable, he would not dare to touch Chen Xie's mind anymore. Although he was still a little unwilling to give up, Xiao Yu could only sigh and get up to wash. The concubine was too lazy to answer when she asked. The Qing Dynasty prefect had been in three years, and she had 100,000 silver silver. She had more ways to make money and was not worth taking risks.

After a while, the staff came to news that Wang Tingshi invited dozens of gentry and wealthy merchants to visit. On the grounds of helping the local area, they raised 6,000 silver and more than 1,000 stones of grain. The joint venture took the lead in responding and donated 500 silver. Things went smoothly. Xiao Yu completely cut off his thoughts and went to see Wang Tingshi.

Chen Xie got up early, and in a daze, he asked someone to support him onto the bed. Wen Xiang was so soft that he didn't wake up so much. He even thought that Ying Niang rode up. After a while, he lost his sleepiness. After trying to see that he had changed his supporting role, Green Jade twisted his slim waist and made a storm. Compared to other women, Green Jade has long legs, which is very fond of Chen Xie's appetite. Since he has entered Hong Kong, he will be wrong. After a while, Ying Niang got on the bed and grinds the tofu in turn and was so depraved.

Half past noon, I woke up by someone knocking on the door. When I opened my eyes, I saw my long legs pressing on my body. When I was secretly ashamed, Yingniang came back from the door and said with a smile: "Good master, did you feel comfortable last night?"

Chen Xie was already walking further and further on the road of **, and he had lost his moral integrity. He raised his hand and pinched it a little through his bellyband, and gently said, "You are used to being a little bit of trouble." Ying Niang did not avoid it, but instead stuck out her tongue and licked it a few times on her chest. Chen Xie stopped helplessly and said, "Okay, no matter how ridiculous you are, you can't get up. Tell me what's going on, and you're going to knock on the door?"

Yingniang then put away her charming attitude, sat down next to the bed and whispered: "Mo Tai asked for a meeting."

Chen Xie was stunned and said, "Why is he still in Dengzhou?" Yingniang said, "I said he was leaving and back."

Chen Xie thought for a moment and said, "Then let's meet and arrange for lunch together to see what he wants."

A pair of jade arms wrapped around him, and Wu Yu murmured: "Why did you get up? I don't have any strength at all, so I'll sleep for a while."

Ensuring the soft oppression behind him, Chen Xie still got up and said, "You sleep with you, I have something to do." Yingniang heard his gentle tone and covered her mouth and smiled, "Now is a little enemy of Zhileng Zhire. When she almost broke up last night, she refused to stop no matter how she asked."

Chen Xie snapped and his buttocks came and hit him: "Isn't it all your hands and feet? Hurry up and serve the master."

After finishing washing and wearing, Chen Xie was walking in the yard and sorting out what happened last night to the present. Standing in the yard, you could see that the two-story Chunxiang Building was a wooden building. Then you realized that this place could be fifty meters away in the past. In terms of location, it was a bit off, approaching the water gate of the east gate.

The city wall of Dengzhou is nine miles long, the city is three zhang high and five feet high and two feet thick, with four gates. The east gate is the Chunsheng Gate, the south gate is Chaotian Gate, the west gate is Yingen Gate, the north gate is Zhenhai Gate, there are seven city towers and fifty-six city pavilions. The moat is two zhang wide and one zhang deep. There are three water gates, the south is Shangshui Gate, the east is Xiaoshui Gate, and the north is Xiashui Gate.

Such a mighty city cannot be said to be unstable. From the perspective of later generations, this is precisely the inevitable choice of a nation after lacking enterprising spirit. The data that emerges in its mind corresponds to the tall city walls seen in its eyes. Chen Xie was a little distracted, and no one noticed it afterwards.

"Master, Mo Tai is coming soon." Ying Niang's voice was not loud, and Chen Xie turned around and smiled, "You are getting smarter and smarter."

Ying Niang smiled charmingly and said, "This is the best teacher trained me." This woman is a naturally charming type, and every frown and smile can bring out a charming look. Chen Xie smiled and said, "The word training is good. Let's go, I'll welcome him."

He quickly walked out and passed through two doors. Chen Xie stood on the steps of the side door, and a sedan chair five steps away came over.

Mo Tai's expression in the sedan chair was calm. After returning Sun Guozhen to his hometown to retire, he returned to Dengzhou again was not an impulse. As early as when he first met Chen Xie, Mo Tai noticed his unusualness. Everything that happened afterwards was under Mo Tai's attention. Until Chen Xie held a group training, Mo Tai's view of this young man took a new turn.

Which rich man in the Ming Dynasty would spend a lot of money to set up an elite group training? It was not that he wanted to rebel, but that it must have a deep meaning. At first, Mo Tai did not have a clear understanding of Chen Xie's idea, but could only be a vague understanding that this was a product driven by vision. This time, he sent Sun Guozhen back to his hometown, and there were refugees all over the place. Although there were not many, it was already very telling.

Mo Tai, who had been assisting Sun Guozhen for a long time and had been in contact with the local area, quickly realized that the current situation in the Ming Dynasty was not right. This was probably related to Chen Xie's group training. So Mo Tai decided to come back and contact Chen Xie again. One was to compare some of his own ideas, and the other was because Chen Xie was generous and might be able to do a good job. Although Chen Xie had no official status now, there was no difference between him and the local emperor in Dengzhou. In two years, a group of wealthy merchants from Dengzhou and even other provinces could be gathered together to form an interest group that no one dared to underestimate. This ability is not something that ordinary people can do.

The local power of the Ming Dynasty was actually in the hands of local gentry and clans. Motai knew very well this.

"Mr. Mo, we are here." The sedan chair owner greeted him, and Mo Tai calmed down. He bent down and got out of the sedan chair. He looked up and saw Chen Xie standing by the side door smiling, and immediately felt a "maybe right" feeling. (Someone may ask why he didn't open the door to greet him?)

"Mr. Mo has gone and returned, Xie has been thinking hard and can't understand it. Therefore, I'm waiting for the teachings!" Chen Xie bowed and asked. Chen Xie had inquired about the details of the person in front of him. Sun Guozhen's fellow villager, now 40 years old, has the fame of a scholar.

Mo Tai bowed his hand back and smiled and said, "Tai also wants to ask for advice from the miracle doctor, so I hope he will give me advice."

This scene is a bit sour, but it is very pleasing to Mo Tai. Scholars are all urinary, so they are concerned about getting attention from others. Although Chen Xie is not an official, he is a well-known local tyrant in Dengzhou. I won’t talk about joint business names and various workshops, and he is a big local tyrant with first-class financial resources. The key is that Huichuntang and Zhangjiazhuang hospitals have been curing many diseases and saving lives in the past two years, which has brought Chen Xie a high reputation among the people. Although most patients were not rescued by Chen Xie himself, it does not prevent others from counting the credit on Chen Xie.

Seeing Yingniang greeting her servants in the yard, Mo Tai smiled slightly, even if the courtesy was up. While envious of Chen Xie's good fortune, he was also secretly surprised. Yingniang, a woman, has been many people in Dengzhou, has never been able to succeed. A woman with the background of Jinyiwei has become Chen Xie's person, which shows that something must be strange.

The study was specially prepared by Yingniang for Chen Xie. After seeing the tea, Chen Xie said, "Mr. Mo, there is something right for advice." Mo Tai bowed slightly and said, "The miracle doctor might as well say it bluntly." Chen Xie told Mo Tai all the things that happened last night. Of course, he didn't mention the information reported by Zhang Yao and Yingniang. Finally, he said, "This matter seems to be easy, but it doesn't make sense, so he is confused."

Motai did not rush to answer, but asked back: "The miracle doctor thinks, what about the Ming Dynasty today?"

Beyond Motai's expectations, Chen Xie replied without thinking: "It's a chaotic world!"

Motai said strangely: "As far as Tai knows, although the people in Shaanxi and Gansu are constantly changing, they are mostly small thieves and mobs, which is not a problem. Since the seventh year of the former emperor, although there have been many droughts in various places, they have not caused great chaos. Even though the Donglu detained the capital, they retreated in just a few months or even half a year. How could the miracle doctors say that there are troubled times?"

If Chen Xie had never been able to convince Mo Tai in the past, it would be different now. He had been insisting on making up for the history of the Ming Dynasty for a long time. Chen Xie's views have formed a fixed set of views and are supported by evidence.

Chen Xie smiled and said, "The Ming Dynasty earned only four million taels per year. The imperial court spent only five million in military expenditure. Mr. Mo, the Ming Dynasty is not short of money. Can you see who is willing to pay his own pocket to share the worries of the court? It was mentioned that it had been drought for two years. What if it was drought for another two years? The Ming Dynasty was already a haystack, and the flames in Shaanxi were no small, and it only took a few years to burn the whole country. Chen was just a wealthy businessman who returned overseas. How could he have a good life?"

Motai is only in a curious stage of Chen Xie now. You ask a scholar who has served as a staff member for the governor to accept a person who has no fame and fortune. This joke can make people laugh to death in the Ming Dynasty.

After some thought, Mo Tai felt that what Chen Xie said made sense, but it did not mean that he would be an aide to Chen Xie now. It was Mo Tai's original intention to show off his skills first, and after being valued by Chen Xie, he would work as a light temporary worker and continue to observe for a while.

"The things that the miracle doctor said last night were just the following reasons. First, they colluded with each other and divided the treasury. The capital suddenly changed, and this was a bad strategy. Zhang Keda was a martial artist, and he could get money and food after kneeling down. Second, the elite troops in the group were all out of Dengzhou, so he had to guard against it. Third, the miracle doctor's wealth was so huge that he went to the capital to serve the king. I am afraid that someone would not be able to come back. Fourth, if it was not as expected, Zhang Keda would definitely take the miracle practitioner as the pioneer." rs
