Chapter 929: Yingzhou’s Treasures

Xie Zhenliang went back with Fang Xing's gift - a box of medicinal materials.

"Father, Big Brother Fang put on a tiger face and told the child to accept this box of herbs."

Xie Zhenliang was stared at in Jishui, and he has long developed the habit of self-reliance. This is the first gift he has received in recent years.

Xie Jin's wife frowned and said, "Master, this is not appropriate."

Xie Jin was rescued by Fang Xing and his grandson, and the follow-up resettlement was also in Fang Xing's academy. Mrs. Xie Jin, who had a strong self-esteem, felt a little embarrassed.

Xie Jin stroked his beard and said, "Fang Xing and I have been friends for many years. He even called Zhenliang into the inner courtyard. Let's worry about these things. It's too much. His family doesn't lack these things, and it's just for nothing. Take it, this is for your daughter-in-law to raise a baby."

Xie Jin's wife waited for her son to leave and asked, "Master, are we going to move out?"

It feels very bad to live under the fence, and Xie Jin's wife has some doubts.

Xie Jin smiled and said: "No need, if we leave here, we will have to be stared at by people from Jinyiwei or Dongchang. You will not be able to make it through that day. Besides, Dehua values ​​friendship. If I move, he will It's bound to be annoying."

"Zhen Liang will no longer be able to take the imperial examination!"

Xie Jin said with some melancholy: "Academy has always set up professors of Confucianism. At present, there is only one professor in Beiping Academy. I think this is what Dehua specially reserved for Zhenliang. It can be seen that he really put his heart into it."

Xie Jin's wife couldn't help but be very happy that a husband with insufficient emotional intelligence used to analyze things so delicately.

"Na Xing and Bo are only a few years older than Zhen Liang, but I heard that he is both civil and military, and has repeatedly made military exploits. Master, you were known as a child prodigy back then, but you have been compared to others."

Seeing that the old wife was interested in making jokes, Xie Jin also smiled and said, "It's smart to be a husband, but he is far inferior to Dehua in terms of human relationships."

"He can be regarded as a legendary figure. He can be called both civil and military. Although Zhenliang has a good literary talent, if he wants to revitalize the Xie family, he has to learn from Dehua."

Xie Jin's family settled down, and the atmosphere of the New Year became more and more intense.

...

Daming is celebrating the new year, and Yingzhou is also celebrating the new year.

Chen Jie had already given the officials of the chief envoy a holiday, but he had a word in advance that they were not allowed to run around, and they would be there whenever they were told.

"Yingzhou Xinding, we must be more cautious."

Just went to inspect around outside the city, Chen Jie is very satisfied, think Yingzhou people are more obedient.

But Fang Xing's warning flashed in his mind from time to time.

"The nature of Yingzhou people is not docile, but forbearing. Therefore, we must show the strength and toughness of Daming, so that we can transform them through education and time. Don't ignore it!"

When they arrived at the gate of the city, there were more than a hundred corpses hanging on the wall outside, which had already been blown into mummified corpses by the cold wind.

When the treasure notes were first issued, Chen Jie was ready to suppress them. Sure enough, only a few days later, someone secretly traded with silver.

The arrest was very firm and bloody, but the effect was very good.

...

In Penglai City, a commoner in ordinary clothes came to the banknote exchange point, took out a banknote, and said foolishly, "My lord, I want to exchange it for silver."

Jiang Kui behind the counter glanced at the man, then took the banknote for verification.

This batch of treasured banknotes is brand new and has serial numbers. Once the counterfeit banknotes are found, many people in Yingzhou will die again.

"One tael of silver, you keep it." After verifying the person's identity tag, Jiang Kui took out the silver that he had prepared earlier.

The man took the silver, bit it foolishly, and happily left.

But Jiang Kui just sneered, and then a man came out of the store and quietly followed behind.

"I hope there is no one behind you, otherwise you will die!"

In the early stage, most of the people who exchanged precious banknotes for silver pretended to be fools. After the exchange is successful, there will be fewer such people.

Jiang Kui immediately recorded this person and sent him to the chief secretary's yamen tomorrow.

...

Chen Jie returned to the backyard of the yamen, took the new report form wearily, and saw that only three people exchanged silver yesterday,

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said to his staff: "Seeing that there is not much silver left from Yinshan, it's a good thing! Otherwise, I would really want to kill."

The staff laughed and said: "Those people are not fools, they don't have any surplus money, and they can't spend their silver. When they see that those who exchanged silver have succeeded, they will naturally exchange it back slowly, but I want to see you." The person who came up with this idea, he has an excellent grasp of people's hearts, and he is willing to bow down."

Chen Jie stroked his beard and said with a smile: "You have seen this person before, and he is Xing Hebo."

"Tsk!"

The staff patted the armrest and got up and said: "Sure enough, it is Uncle Xinghe, who is capable of both civil and military affairs. From my point of view, this Uncle Xinghe will probably leave his name in the history books from now on, and it will be a big deal!"

Chen Jie nodded and said: "Xing He Bo said before that he hoped that Gu Xing and Bo Fang Xing would be engraved on his tombstone. They went deep into the barren, crusaded against the ministers, and won the battle!"

Thinking of the current situation in Yingzhou, Chen Jie sighed: "He did it. The Japanese pirates who have been on the coast of Daming for many years are gone, and even their old lairs have been taken away. It really is..."

The staff looked longingly and said: "Sure enough, it's a heroic spirit! It's a pity that I didn't talk to Xing and Bo at that time. It would be enough to boast if we could have a drink together."

Chen Jie said with a smile: "In the future, he will probably be worthy of enjoying the Taimiao. Even this official will envy him! It's a pity that he doesn't have that ability."

The two sighed for a long time, then got a pot, chanted a few poems to Xue, and rested there.

The next day, Chen Jie, who was too drunk, didn't have to go to the yamen, but just enjoyed the snow and painted at home, which was quite elegant.

But this elegance was ruined by a piece of news.

"My lord, there are many people around Penglai who are exchanging silver."

As soon as Chen Jie moved his hand, a drop of ink fell on the paper. He tossed the pen and asked, "How many people are there? How much have you exchanged?"

The person who came said: "Nine people, there are more or less, and they exchanged a total of three hundred and fifty-one taels of silver."

This amount of silver is not too much, Chen Jie narrowed his eyes and said: "This is an opportunity to exchange during the Chinese New Year, I believe there will be someone else, check! Find out the identities of these people and the whereabouts of this silver!"

The entire chief envoy was called back, and the garrison sent out scouts. It was the atmosphere before the war.

"This is a provocation to Daming! We must fight back! We must get rid of those with ulterior motives and return Yingzhou to a bright future!"

Following the order, the entire Penglai Mansion was in motion. Those plainclothes men entered people's homes indifferently, and violence broke out in many places.

Chen Jie was very proud of this efficiency, so after getting the results, he praised a few words before asking questions.

"who is it?"

"My lord, it's a guy named Ying Bing. This guy helped Daming search for the royal family when he captured the capital, so he was designated as the first class and kept his property. He recently sent many people to exchange silver in various places in Penglai. The total sum There are about 20,000 taels."

After conquering the Wa Kingdom, the chief envoy ordered all the people to change their names, and those who did not have a name should choose it according to Daming's surname.

Chen Jie gritted his teeth and said, "Where did he get so many treasures?"

"My lord, Ying Bing first sent people to the people's homes to collect the treasure notes. Those people were afraid of losing money, so they exchanged it to him at a price of 70%."

"Okay! It really is a loyal soldier to Daming!"

At this moment, Chen Jie confessed to Fang Xing that he no longer had any doubts, and he immediately sent someone to ransack the house.

"My lord, what charges are you using?"

Chen Jie sneered, "Tax evasion!"
