It is human nature to watch the fun and listen to gossip, and now is no longer the era of literal hell.
After leaving BJ City, the anecdotes of princes, nobles, and even the palace are often published in newspapers and magazines, and then processed by storytellers, circulated in teahouses around the country, and then continued to ferment and spread.
Even when the late emperor died at the age of nineteen, there were many rumors that the emperor liked to travel in micro-servers the most, and what he did was a reduced version of Qianlong's journey to the south of the Yangtze River.
Whether it is beauties in the north or rouge in the south, Tongzhi's hearts are all good.
As a result, during this process, the emperor's living habits were not very good, and he liked to travel light. As a result, he contracted syphilis and died.
Of course, this must be a rumor, and even the space has begun to wonder whether this kind of thing is true or not, so relevant milestones are given.
It can also be seen from this that the Qing Dynasty at this time experienced the Taiping Rebellion and the devastation of the Opium War, and its prestige and control over the people were actually very weak.
And most of the anecdotes about the emperors of the Qing Dynasty came out during this time period, including but not limited to the following:
Xiaozhuang's sleeping clothes Hong Chengchou, Dorgon took over his sister-in-law, Shunzhi became a monk in Wutai Mountain, Kangxi passed the throne to fourteen sons, Lv Siniang's concubine stabbed Yongzheng, the secret of Emperor Qianlong's life experience, etc.
By the way, the emperor in the comedy Jiupin Sesame Official is actually the insinuation of Tongzhi.
This is also the backlash brought by the Qing Dynasty's writing prisons. The oppression and massacres in those days were so ruthless, and the scholars in the future would be able to write so much!
It is precisely because the world is like this that the two soldiers will be treated as second-tier starlets in an instant. They are surrounded by a group of people, and some people even take the initiative to take their account. This direct economic stimulus makes these two soldiers. More and more power is generated, and the foam is flying.
At this time, Fang Linyan also knew their official identities: Yi Ding of the inn.
More than two hundred years ago, their peers successfully destroyed the last vitality of the Ming Dynasty, allowing the Qing Dynasty to take advantage of it.
Because there are no planes now, but there are foreign steamers, most of the officials in the south at this time first came to Tianjin Port by boat, and then went from Tianjin to the capital.
Therefore, they are located in such important traffic areas as Tianjin Wei. When the two of them are busy with their business, they will be sent to several groups of officials, and they will also serve an unknown number of masters, so their knowledge is indeed extraordinary, from the mouths of these two guys. What is said is convincing.
So, when the two postmen who had eaten breakfast left, Fang Linyan had been waiting beside him for a few minutes, he smiled and handed a string of copper coins, and said:
"Take a little time for the two eldest brothers, just want to inquire about one thing, I wonder if the two of you have heard of this master?"
Then he spat out a name from Fang Linyan's mouth. The two couriers looked at each other, took the copper coins first, and then shook their heads and said:
"Have not heard."
Fang Linyan's answer was completely expected, because the official he was looking for was from Sichuan, so when he usually went to Beijing, he would not go to Shanghai first, and then go to Tianjin to go around such a big circle.
So Fang Linyan launched the money offensive again, this time it was more than one ingot and two taels of silver, which is about 4,000 yuan in terms of current values, which was considered a small fortune for the two postmen.
Fang Linyan shook the silver in front of the two of them, and then said:
"If it's convenient for the two big brothers, help me find a copy of Jinshen's book, which is my book purchase money."
Jinshenlu is the national official record published by the old bookstore. It records the origin, resume, etc. of each official. It is still useful for officials, but there is no market for ordinary people, so Liquidity is low.
However, it is a must-have for the staff of the station who have to deal with the officials every day.
The two looked at each other and said in a low voice:
"Then you have to pay first."
After speaking, he reached out and grabbed the silver that Fang Linyan took out, but Fang Linyan let it go in a calm manner, letting him grab an empty space, and then he directly broke off a third of the silver ingot:
"This is a deposit..."
Seeing Fang Linyan calmly revealing his strength, these two postmen immediately dismissed some of their undeserved thoughts. The best they've ever seen are hard walnuts and silver ingots in their hands. Somewhat bizarre.
So soon, a copy of the Jinshen Records, which had been turned over, was handed over to Fang Linyan.
Fang Linyan couldn't wait to read the pages immediately, and then quickly stopped, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said to himself:
"Sure enough, you are still here!"
Having said that, Fang Linyan took a deep breath, and there was a look of anticipation in his eyes:
"How can be a thing in the pool, when you meet the situation, you will turn into a dragon. You, who were originally unknown, only retired because you didn't have the opportunity, and died in depression!"
"But now, I'll give you this chance!"
After confirming the existence of this person in this world, Fang Linyan immediately called up the previous selection menu.
Yes, it was the brand-new menu where you could choose your identity, and let you start with as soon as you came, and Fang Linyan decisively chose option d: Master Zheshang!
Immediately, a large amount of information poured into Fang Linyan's mind, and at the same time, a beam of light shrouded him, and his face and height began to change:
He closed his eyes and opened them after more than ten seconds. Then a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself:
"Interesting, really interesting!"
The current Fang Linyan has been assigned an official identity, and his surname is Hu, called Hu Zhiyun. Not only that, but the key point is that he belongs to the direct descendants of a huge merchant family. This merchant world was very brilliant and powerful more than ten years ago. How powerful is it?
Just to give two examples, the Qing government could not handle the loan, he could help sign it with a foreign bank, and the loan amount was a terrifying 18 million taels of silver.
Another example is the spoils of war and silver rewards that the Hunan army got up and down, all of which must be stored in his bank.
China's first ship, Wannianqing, was also built by this family.
His business has even grown to the point of being the richest man in China, and the reason for his family's downfall is that he started a big business war between China and foreign countries related to raw silk with foreigners in Shanghai! Consumed more than 20 million taels of silver.
In the end, the loss of this business war was not a crime of war. The reason was the great raw silk harvest in Italy and the outbreak of the Sino-French war, which led to the financial crisis.
However, the core figure of the Hu family, Fang Linyan's third uncle, had passed away for several years. Even the big backer in the Hu family's officialdom has long since passed away.
And after the end of the business war, the Hu family was also dismissed by the imperial court and ransacked. Fortunately, it was only the third uncle who was in charge of checking the Hu family, so it was still a chance for them to make a comeback.
It's just that the past few years have passed, and the Hu family's personal connections have also withered one after another, and it is almost as intangible as fog. People say that a hundred-footed worm is dead and not stiff, but the Hu family at this time is actually just a short distance away from being stiff and lying flat.
More importantly, the network is usually linked to strength. If you have money and power, of course, it is the Huahuajiaozi who will carry people. If you can help, raise your hand and go. But if you don't have the power and money, maybe people will treat you as a fat pig.
Of course, with neither money nor power, ninety-nine percent of the connections are automatically invalidated.
Now Fang Linyan, the Sixth Young Master, has a heavy burden on his shoulders. The Hu family knew well that some people in the court were good officials, so they asked him to bring a huge sum of money to befriend an official in Jinan, Shandong: Li Meng.
In fact, the official was very unwilling to take office, and he was about to retire from his current position. He was demoted by one level and sent to Deqing County next door to Hangzhou for a general sentence.
Such an unhappy and unlucky official, why did the Hu family send their young master all the way to curry favor? It is nothing more than three words "burning the cold stove".
The Hu family felt that the backer behind the official would soon gain power, and Li Meng should only be unlucky temporarily, so he went to help in the snow now. This is also the old routine of the Hu family's rise.
Of course, everything in the world is full of variables. Everyone can do things like burning a cold stove, but the variables are huge. The biggest probability is that the money is sent out and the person is flattered, but this person can't get up at all.
Another variable is that the investment officials are thick-faced and dark-hearted, even if they regain power, they will turn their faces and ignore them immediately.
At this time, Fang Linyan felt that the vision of the Hu family was very problematic. For example, Li Meng, who wanted to invest now, was originally impeached for corruption. Such people must have a lot of appetite.
And according to Hu Zhiyun's previous investigation, there is no lower limit to what he can do. In order to search and even force five or six lives, there are also two believers in foreign religions.
At this time, the officials of the Qing Dynasty were already afraid of being beaten by the two Opium Wars. As long as they heard about the contamination of foreigners, they would always look to the foreigners to investigate and deal with them, so Li Meng was unlucky.
In Fang Linyan's eyes, if he has power in his hands, it is not difficult to get money. A truly capable official can even bring money and benefit the local people at the same time.
Like this Li Meng, who is a typical example of greed, incompetence, and cruelty. Investing in him is like throwing money into the water, without even having a chance to hear it. Therefore, since the third uncle's absence, the Hu family's situation is still very bad, that is, the person at the helm is not very good.
However, the fly in the ointment is that Fang Linyan also got a hint: because he chose this character too late, there were some side effects.
Because Hu Zhiyun's deity had already been beaten on the head by a robber when he was rushing to the night road last night, and he was in a coma.
Even so, a part of the soul has disappeared by now, so the character's memory of the past has been missing.
But for Fang Linyan, this is not a big problem. He thinks that Hu Zhiyun's luck is really good. He has saved his life abruptly. After he leaves this world, he can still inherit the things he left to him. survived.
Fang Linyan calculated the date. The official start of the Jiawu war was on July 25th, and today was July 18th. If you take into account the speed of information dissemination that is currently lagging behind, then he still has a full seven or eight days to do it. Strategize.
Now that he has determined that his goal is in this world, and his life experience has basically not changed, Fang Linyan has basically determined that his next focus of work is to make money, because the next step is to take a slanted sword, and there is no money. Can not.
At this time, Fang Linyan touched the corner of his clothes, where he could clearly feel some extra thickness, because there were three silver bills sewn here, totaling 10,000 taels of silver, one of which was 5,000 taels and one was Zhang three thousand taels, and a two thousand taels.
This is the funds entrusted by the family to Fang Linyan before leaving. In addition, the family will also look at the situation of Fang Linyan's affairs, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com will add extra money.
This is because although the Hu family is now in decline, there is still a pillar industry that can still barely maintain, that is, the drug store left over from the heyday of that year, there are branches in BJ, Jinan, Tianjin and other places.
The Hu family's pharmacy once rivaled Tongrentang, and even now, Fang Linyan, the sixth young master, has the right to draw the corresponding money in some major cities in the north.
For businessmen, the difficulty of earning 10,000 yuan with one dollar is definitely much higher than that with 10,000 yuan and one million yuan. One can get a large amount of principal without any trouble. This is why Fang Linyan chose Hu The main identity of the young master's identity.
After Fang Linyan had a full meal, he began to inquire about the corresponding cargo market in Tianjin. After collecting some information, he went to the developed port area to ask questions. After getting the idea, he went directly to Tianjin. The treasure of Lu Zhuangzi.
Where is this treasure house? In fact, it is a casino. In other places, casinos are mixed with dragons and snakes. It is almost a gamble and nine cheats. However, there are really many rules in the treasure game here in Tianjin. It is regarded as the earliest formalized casino in China. one of them.
Of course, before arriving at Luzhuangzi, Fang Linyan simply found a secluded place to perform the magic of words, and after a simple communication with Evelina, a man was summoned.
After the emerald green light disappeared, the man opened his eyes, and then bowed respectfully to Fang Linyan:
"Lord Cavaliers, I'm Judy Laurent, and it's an honor to serve you."
Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Should I know what I need this time? It's mainly good at gambling." The fastest update and error-free novel reading, please visit the mobile phone, please visit:
