Chapter 294 Weighing the Pros and Cons

No one cares about how the mountains of goods came from on the dock. There is no one who cares about the legend of Chen in the Dengzhou realm. Now few people remember the word "medical", and replaced it with Chen Shenxian. Of course, this is just a spontaneous and improved version of the people who don't know the truth.

The emergence of tracks has greatly improved the efficiency of transportation. From the freight terminal to Zhangjiazhuang, and then to Dengzhou, the road section to Laizhou has been built recently, and Changyi has already opened the tracks. After people were unconsciously instilled, they were instilled with a "truth", and Mr. Chen has always been correct. This is a very terrible thing, and what is even more terrifying is a subtle influence.

The appearance of Chen Xie at the wharf caused cheers from the dock porters. Five silver dollars a month was enough to support seven or eight families. Few people in modern society would like their boss, but in the Ming Dynasty, the contrary, most people on the wharf truly respect Chen Xie. Without him, everyone might have starved to death.

In the spring of the seventh year of Chongzhen, the broken car on the downhill road of the Ming Dynasty was extremely worn out, and the downward speed began to begin. On the fifth day of the second month, the peasant army captured Xingshan and killed the magistrate Liu Dingguo. On the fifteenth day of the 15th, he went to Qutang. On the 21st of February, he captured Kuizhou Prefecture (now Wanyuan, Xuanhan, Daxian, east of Liangping and Jianshi County, Hubei), and besieged Taiping. Because chieftain Qin Liangyu led his army to block the path of the peasant army's advance, in March of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Lao Hui and Hui and other camps of rebels who entered Sichuan entered Qinzhou from Yangping Pass (now northwest of Ningqiang County, Shaanxi Province) and returned to Shaanxi.

In the first month of the seventh year of Chongzhen, Zhang Xianzhong went west from Xinyang to Shang and Luo areas. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong joined forces to capture Chengcheng and approached Pingliang and other prefectures and counties. On February 28, Zhang Xianzhong and other 13th battalions of rebels from Shang, Henan, Luoxi and Tongguan to enter Hannan. In March, Lao Hui and Hui troops also returned from Sichuan to Shaanxi, and the peasant uprising army joined forces to form a powerful force.

Chen Xie, who returned to Dengzhou, habitually moved into Yingniang's villa, which was the intelligence center. After leaving for two months, he could only be here. Yingniang welcomed him respectfully as usual, stepped down and took out a report of the main news for the past two months.

"The governor of Shanxi reported that it did not rain in the province for half a year. After Chang Shiren led his troops out of Kaifeng Prefecture, the number of refugees along the way increased sharply. Henan's drought was also very serious, and hungry people were everywhere. Chang Shiren was very worried about the subsequent food and grass issues and begs to help the people of Henan."

When he said this, Chen Xie raised his hand and Ying Niang shut up in time to avoid disturbing Chen Xie who was entering a state of thinking. The maid at the door pointed his head, Ying Niang came out and whispered angrily: "Do you still understand the rules?" The maid knelt down in shock and said: "It's the shopkeeper Liu who is here, waiting in the front hall."

"No matter who comes, they are waiting in front of you. Without the master's greeting, no one is allowed to come in and disturb you." Ying Niang's tone was stern, like a vicious dog protecting food. Every time Chen Xie left for a long time, he would definitely stay here after returning. This also led to the gathering of the heads of other departments here during this period of time. This phenomenon is a symbol of status in Ying Niang's heart. Ying Niang will not be ruthless if anyone destroys this phenomenon.

"Is Liu Qing here? Let him come in." Chen Xie's voice came from inside, and Ying Niang responded respectfully: "Yes."

Unconsciously, invisible levels emerge. This situation will naturally form in this era, and Chen Xie has no intention of seeking correction. Many times, the existence of this level makes people feel at ease.

"Boss!" Liu Qing came in and bowed to greet him first. Chen Xie greeted him and said, "Have you read Chang Shiren's report?"

"Look, Henan is now very chaotic. The agents of the United Business Company have raised their own difficulties. The situation in Kaifeng and Luoyang is still stable. When other areas have left cities, there will be no order. Years of drought, people have no food, and chaos is inevitable. In Dengzhou, if the boss had not promoted Shenjing in recent years, it would have been chaotic." Liu Qing reported objectively. Chen Xie heard the middle finger knocking on the table, and the rhythm was fast and slow.

"Is Wang Qinian in Dengzhou?" Chen Xie asked, and Liu Qing said: "I came back the day before yesterday, and the construction of the bastion was very smooth and it will be completed in at most two months. He came back this time just to count the time and wait for the boss to come back."

Chen Xie looked at Liu Qing in surprise and said, "What do he think?" Liu Qing smiled and said, "Wang Qinian meant that his slaves had no troops in Jin County and had kidnapped all the people. Since Jiannu didn't want it, he would take it away. For nothing else, it was worth doing for the millions of arable land around him."

"He dares not make decisions without authorization and let you be a lobbyist. This guy really wants to beat him up." Chen Xie cursed and shouted to the outside of the door: "Ying Niang, bring a message to Wang Qinian. Why don't you get back to Lushun immediately? Or get out of the teaching team and be an instructor."

Liu Qing was shocked. Wang Qinian's idea was correct, why did Chen Xie get so angry? This was not in line with Chen Xie's habits. But Chen Xie did not explain, and he dared not ask. After Chen Xie destroyed the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty in Lushun, his status was very high. He didn't need to do it himself. Everyone consciously maintained this position. The reason is very simple. The Later Jin Dynasty has always been a powerful enemy that the Ming army could not face. Before that, even Liu Qing did not have much confidence. However, Chen Xie did something that everyone dared not imagine. It was impossible not to change this status. As the status changed, Liu Qing became more and more careful. Although there are governors, military supervisors and soldiers in Dengzhou, who takes these people seriously?

"A man who is smart, he seems to be the only smart person in this world." Chen Xie said to himself, looking a little anxious. At this time, Chen Xie fell into a state of confusion. Should he save refugees from Henan? This question has always troubled him. Seeing this, Liu Qing stood up tactfully and said, "I'll go back first without any other instructions."

Chen Xie nodded and said, "You go, I will make arrangements for food safety." Ying Niang came in and heard Chen Xie's tone wrong, so she carefully opened the curtain and asked Liu Qing to go out.

Although it was already spring, it was still very cold. The ground dragon burned in the room. When he went out, a cold wind blew on his face. Liu Qing still trembled slightly. The brief meeting just now seemed that Chen Xie was no different from the past. In fact, he could feel the change in Chen Xie's tone. The unshakable change of the will of the superior. Liu Qing also thought that Wang Qinian had a good idea. Development is now a good time to develop Liaodong, but Chen Xie did not support this idea. It seems that it has a deeper meaning. Liu Qing did not have the correctness of changing clothes. This has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and has become an instinct in recent years.

Chen Xie continued to read the report, and the focus was on the navy and the shipyard. Ying Niang sat aside and looked at Chen Xie quietly with a puzzled look. Unexpectedly, Mr. Chen didn't raise his head and said, "What's wrong with me? You say. I won't tell you. I won't tell you. If you can't tell you, I won't take it to my heart."

Ying Niang felt sad for a day after hearing this. She was no longer young. It was impossible to expect to remain favored in her appearance. She was not strong enough and would always worry about the coming of something. Chen Xie's words now mean that she is still the most trusted one.

"I guessed that the master is worried about slander and ridicule. I have followed the master over the years and read the newspapers many times. I know that there are accidents everywhere in the Ming Dynasty and it is not small. The officers and soldiers are not good at fighting, and they are good at harming the people. If you don't let Wang Qinian expand Dongjiang Town, you don't want to become the enemy of the officers and soldiers in the world. But I think to myself, even if you don't expand your territory, people should be jealous and you will still be jealous. Not only are the generals jealous, but civil officials are also jealous. Even the emperor, aren't he suspicious of the master?"

Hearing this, Chen Xie smiled, waved Ying Niang to sit on her legs, holding the woman whose body was still as soft as cotton, and crawled into the clothes with one hand irregularly, but said rationally: "I am very happy that you can think of so much. This means that you are thinking about things. Let's say that, I am now suspicious, even hated, but I have not broken up. My private hands and feet, even if they are doing it, will not have much impact on me. The Tian family's destiny is something that every king cannot tolerate. Another thing is that the Central Plains is in chaos and refugees are everywhere, which is not harmful to the master. There are nearly 20,000 people in the Ming Dynasty, how many can the master save?"

The soft voice came into my ears, and the vital part was captured. Ying Niang's face was red and hot, and she had no intention to think about it. She was passively accepting it. When she was moved, her waist was twisted like a snake, and the sky was blue and sunny outside, and she couldn't help but reach out to hold the hot work. After a while, the sound of the room came out, and the maid waiting at the door was suffering, either leaving or entering. She stood there and suffered a lot. When she was in love at the age of fourteen or five, she was very sensitive and could not suppress her body.

Wanyu, holding a stack of account books in her hand, came over and looked at the maid's expression as if she was constipated. When she heard the sound inside, she couldn't help but blushed and said to the maid: "Go, leave it here to me." The maid went out as if she was running away, sitting outside. After a while, Wanyu couldn't do it anymore, and her legs rubbed against each other slightly, and her breathing became thick.

When the crying sounded from the alienation, Wanyu also reached the critical point and could not help but let out a moan. Chen Xie could hear it clearly, and then let Ying Niang lie in front of him, revealing her chest, and blew her sweat all over her body.

"Get a towel!" Chen Xie greeted, and soon Wanyu came in, her face was as red as blood, and she put down the hot towel and ran away. Ying Niang struggled, took the towel with satisfaction, and whispered: "Little Langshizi, after listening to these things outside, why are you pretending to be pure? Master, you are not done yet. I will bring her, so Master can relieve the fire."

"Um..." Ying Niang, whose mouth was blocked, couldn't speak.

Nanyang, refugees on the official road are still moving south, endlessly, and they can’t see at all. How many people are there? Chang Shiren can’t calculate carefully, but he just thinks that if this continues, there will be a big problem in the Ming Dynasty.r1152
