Daming daddy

Chapter 121

What will you do when someone asks you for half of your family property and you have to give this half of your property?I think the first thought of most people is to scold the world, and then they want to hide part of the money, then reduce the base to the lowest point, and then take half of this lowest base to hand over.Now the rich and wealthy households in the entire capital are doing this.

From the day Zhou Yanru met Wei Ming, he became another dog leg of Wei Ming.Zhou Yanru, the current Xiuzhuan, is a petty official. Compared with Wei Ming, he is one in the sky and the other in the underground.He stayed in an awkward position in the history books, and the traitor turned.It is said that he is a traitor, so there must be some reason.The worst thing he did was to lie about the military situation to Zhu Youjian, and in the end it was over because of this incident.But overall, this is a smart guy and a talented guy.The most important person, he is a literati, an out-and-out literati.Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli.There are too many Jinshi, but Zhou Yanru only has one if he wants to do it. He will take the examination that year, and he will be the first in the palace examination.It seems that Wanli is quite satisfied with him.Just such a person, since he was a child, he wanted to join the cabinet as a prime minister, but in the end he really did it, which shows that he really has two brushes.But judging from the fact that he lied about the military situation in the end, he still has the cowardice of a literati in his bones.It is such a talented literati, if you let him lead the army and fight, he will definitely be caught blind.After all, not everyone is as good as Mr. Sun.If there were more people like Mr. Sun, the Qing soldiers would not be able to enter the pass, and the Ming Dynasty would not have finished playing so early.Since he is a literati and wants to join the cabinet as a minister, when he knows that the person in front of him is the Marquis of Wei Mingwei who has recently become famous in the capital, there is no need to be polite, and he directly pays homage to the boss.When there is nothing to do, he likes to hang around in front of Wei Ming's eyes, not to mention anything else, so he looks familiar.If one day the emperor comes to look for Wei Ming again, wouldn't we be able to get acquainted with the emperor?At that time, it is not just around the corner to get promoted and make a fortune.

Today, Zhou Yanru, Wei Ming, and Li Zicheng changed their clothes and became a member of Jinyiwei.People in Jinyiwei always like to show off, and Wei Ming also wants to experience this feeling.But speaking of it, what Jin Yiwei can be proud of now is the bright and beautiful clothes on his body.If I don't use it any more, I guess even the clothes will be gone.

"Which one are we going to now?" Wei Ming had already wandered around several places, but in the end he didn't even get a single hair, which made Wei Ming very upset.This bastard just wants to toast and doesn't eat fine wine, and waits for Jin Yiwei to come to the door again at night, so he won't talk with his mouth.It depends on whether you will give it or not.No, it’s easy to say, Liaodong is very short of people now, and you will be sentenced to exile without any discussion.For the first time now, Wei Ming thinks that the torture in Jinyiwei is still useful.At least for these brazen people, it's quite doable.

"We're going to Cui Chengxiu's house next. It is said that this lord has a lot of money, and I think he can ask for a fortune here, so we can go back and do business." A serious Jin Yiwei said.He didn't pay much attention to the newly appeared Wei Ming, Li Zicheng and Zhou Yanru, he just thought they were newcomers.That's it for being a spy, you don't know me, and I don't know you.They were brothers when they were together, but after going out, they slept together and didn't know anyone.Only recognize clothes but not people has almost become Jin Yiwei's motto.

"Cui Chengxiu?" Wei Ming frowned.This guy doesn't have a very good reputation.Not only is it not so good now, but it will not be so good in the future.Chongzhen has a list of winners after playing the dead eunuch party, and Cui Chengxiu is second only to Wei Zhongxian and Hakka, ranking second on the list.For such a person, if you say that his family has no money, no one will believe it.But when he got to Cui Chengxiu's house, Wei Ming really understood what it means to live a hard life.

The eunuchs are having a hard time now, and Wei Zhongxian urgently needs to find foreign aid.And this Cui Chengxiu, later the leader of the Five Tigers of the eunuch party, worshiped under Wei Zhongxian's sect at this time and became Wei Zhongxian's son.The reason why he worshiped Wei Zhongxian was because he was reported for corruption. After he was dismissed, he had no choice but to be his son.Now not only the official has returned to his original post, but he has also changed from the original inspector in Huaiyang to a Beijing official, and he will stay by Wei Zhongxian's side as a dog's leg.The current censor.

This guy took a lot of money when he patrolled Huaiyang, but what Wei Ming saw was a low house with simple furnishings, two broken stools, one of which was missing a leg Because the child is a little short, he has to squat on the broken stool to eat the food on the table.His wife was sitting on another stool, and Cui Chengxiu, was eating standing up there.The meal is also very simple, a plate of radish and a small plate of pickled cabbage are the dishes.And there were only two sorghum pancakes for the rice, which were so crispy that they could drop scum.Just like that, seeing the three of them eating with relish, Cui Chengxiu swallowed while dividing the last piece of sorghum pancake in half, putting one half in the bowl his wife made a hole in, and the other half in the bowl. son's bowl.The son was not too polite, he gnawed the sorghum pancakes with two or three mouthfuls.Lick your fingers after eating.But the wife didn't have the heart to eat it, so she broke off half of the piece and gave it to Cui Chengxiu, and put the rest in her mouth, saying that she was full.It's really sad to see!Just like that, you still have the nerve to ask for money?Some people in Jinyiwei began to wipe their tears, and even began to wonder if someone made a mistake?How many 10 taels of silver can there be in such a family?Wei Ming, on the other hand, gritted his teeth fiercely.Your grandma's, you can really pretend, where did you get these junk?You are also renting this house!Even Wei Ming, who said Cui Chengxiu temporarily built it, believed it.Is it so difficult for you to remove some money?Even such a bitter show can be performed, no wonder you can become Wei Zhongxian's loyal dog leg.

"Hey, let's go." Jin Yiwei Qianhu said.I've gone to several places today.It seems to be negotiable.The people who came here were all ready, the big wine and meat were gone, and all of them were replaced with simple food that was not as good as farm food.And the thousands of households sent by Jin Yiwei are all virtuous, seeing this appearance, sighed, and then left.This is abnormal, very abnormal.After leaving Cui Chengxiu's house, Wei Ming walked around many houses in succession, all of which looked like this, until it was dark, and he didn't even see a copper coin, let alone half of the family property.

It was getting late, Wei Ming, Li Zicheng, and Zhou Yanru were walking back to the Ministry of Industry Research Institute, feeling very uncomfortable.It is estimated that in history, Chongzhen also felt very much about this, so he said that the ministers misunderstood me.With such a group of people, there is nothing wrong with you wanting to do things, but it is a big mistake to expect this group of people to do things for you.People are just such a group of people, whether they need it or not, there is no room for choice.They see their own interests more, even after Houjin's iron hoof steps on their heads, they think so.To them, the Ming Dynasty is more like a company, with wages, bonuses, and the right to embezzle public funds, not performance, or the future of the company.With this group of people doing things, it is better to do less than to do too much, and it is better not to do anything than to do it. What is wrong with this result?Could it be that ideological and moral education has not kept up?It shouldn't be either!Every day I read the Four Books and Five Classics, Confucianism and Mencius.What he says is what he says, and there is never a lack of benevolence and morality in his mouth. How can he be so unreliable in doing things?
"Weihou, all the great merchants and rich merchants are more or less connected with these bigwigs in the court, and they are all connected by interests. What we are wandering around today is the family of officials. I think tomorrow's merchants will The family will not be any better. If you want to get money from the merchants' families, you must solve these officials' families, otherwise, our road will not work at all." Zhou Yanru said
