Light is born in darkness, this is the White Lotus teaching.
Although Zhu Gui does not believe in the White Lotus Sect, he believes that there is a path to light in the darkness, and this path is rebellion.
On August 5, the sun turns to the southwest.
Zheng He was leading the navy to wipe out the remnants of the Japanese army, and the sound of muskets and cannons sounded from time to time.
Zhang Fubing besieged Seoul, and nearly 70,000 Japanese troops were sealed inside the city. They did not attack, but only defended, waiting for the Japanese troops in the city to be exhausted.
When Yuan Yue's troops arrived at Duoyan Guard and Fuyu Guard, they raised their butcher's knives high, showing no mercy at all, only ruthless killing. No matter men, women, old or young, all the Uuliangha people would not survive.
Zhu Di's army approached the Hetao, and the traces of the Tatars were already under control. Thousands of troops were sharpening their swords, and their flags were flying with a murderous atmosphere.
The grassland will dry up.
In the northwest, Mahamu's army is peeping at the Tianshan Mountains, threatening the western frontier.
In the southwest, Dao Gengmeng prepared the most elite force, preparing to fight to the death with Mu Sheng and Yunnan Dusi to determine the governance of Yunnan.
Deep in the South Ocean, the Ming army is mobilizing.
On the sea, warships and merchant ships were moving in the wind.
On the canal and in the Yangtze River, the shadows of boats meet each other, rushing in all directions.
In Peiping, craftsmen are carrying out the final construction, and the magnificent imperial capital is about to be completed.
In Fengyang, people are collecting water for the last time before the autumn harvest.
Above the official level, there are people, caravans, and scholars...
In the Imperial College, the students are studying for their studies.
The shipyard is buzzing, the iron ship is about to be launched...
boom!
Butcher Wang chopped the pork ribs, wrapped them in lotus grass, tied them in knots and threw them to the people in front of him.
"Not weighing?"
Li Sheng looked at the butcher in front of him and frowned slightly.
"Oh, weigh."
Butcher Wang took out the scale beam and looked for the weight.
Li Sheng squinted at Butcher Wang, then turned to look at the other vendors. Hongwumen was surprisingly lively today, and there were a surprisingly large number of vendors.
"Two and a half pounds, I'll charge you fifty cents."
Butcher Wang was busy weighing it in a corner.
Li Sheng turned around and glanced at the scale beam, shook his head and said: "You are wrong, look at this scale weight, it is clearly hanging at one and a half catties, why is it said to be two and a half catties? Such deception will lead to trouble, this We are all officials, so you are not afraid of being arrested and sued?"
Butcher Wang suddenly became nervous and said quickly, "I made a mistake. I'm sorry. I'm giving these ribs to you."
"Seriously give it to me?"
Li Sheng laughed.
Butcher Wang nodded heavily, stretched out his hand and handed it over: "It's for you, here it is."
Li Sheng did not answer, but lowered his head and thought for a while, and said: "You made a mistake, but you only gave me one and a half pounds of meat. It is inappropriate. To punish you, I decided to give you ten pounds of meat, otherwise I will Report it to the official!"
"ah?"
Butcher Wang was so depressed that he vomited blood and immediately cut a large piece of meat to Li Sheng: "I'm really sorry. I'm a small business owner. Please forgive me."
Li Sheng mentioned it. The meat weighed at least fifteen kilograms, but he still frowned and said, "It seems to be a little short of a kilogram. Give me those pig ears as well."
"It's done, it's done."
Butcher Wang just wanted to send people away.
Satisfied, Li Sheng walked to another stall with a pile of meat. This one was selling cabbage, but the pair of bright and eye-catching leather boots looked awkward with his cloth clothes.
"Give me a cabbage."
Li Sheng squatted down.
When the stall owner Huang Wu saw this, he quickly picked a cabbage and gave it to Li Sheng: "Three cents."
Li Sheng's face darkened and his voice became louder: "What, you want me to pay three cents for a piece of cabbage? Is this still justified?"
Huang Wu suddenly trembled and whispered quickly: "Master, what is that? How many pennies do you want?"
Li Sheng snorted and was very dissatisfied: "In the past, when I came to buy, I paid three cents for three cabbages. Why, you're new here?"
? "
"Here, I don't understand the rules, so what? Three is three."
Huang Wu's face turned pale.
Li Sheng stood up and shook his head dissatisfied: "You have offended me. Now you have to give me three cabbages for free, or I will tell everyone that your business is not honest."
Huang Wu wants to cry. I have offended you. I just quoted the wrong price. That's not your problem.
deliver!
for you!
Leave quickly.
Li Sheng carried half a bag of cabbage and a heavy piece of meat, walked into the official office with a chuckle, found the waiter Lu Yi, put the things on the table, and his face became gloomy.
Lu Yi looked up at Li Sheng, the boss, and then at the pork on the table, and said dissatisfiedly: "This is the staff hall, not a vegetable market, and not a kitchen."
Li Sheng looked at Lu Yi, cupped his hands and said, "Shilang Lu, you can get these things without spending a penny. If I want, I can even bring three months of food to the staff today without spending a penny."
Lu Yi looked at Li Sheng in confusion: "What do you mean?"
Li Sheng took a deep breath: "Beyond the Qianbu Corridor, from Hongwu Gate to Zhengyang Gate, a large number of vendors appeared."
Lu Yi tilted his head: "Beyond Hongwu Gate is a gathering place for merchants. It is not normal for there to be too many merchants. What's more, the food crisis some time ago caused many local merchants to enter Jinling..."
Li Sheng shook his head: "Shilang Lu, have you ever seen a vendor who doesn't know how to weigh a scale? Have you ever seen a vendor who looks like an old farmer in cloth but wears boots? Have you ever seen a vendor who doesn't do business but still sets up a stall and is afraid of people talking loudly? When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.”
Lu Yi heard what the problem was, looked at the pile of pork in front of him, stood up and said, "Take me to have a look."
Li Sheng took Lu Yi out. It was still the familiar Butcher Wang, the familiar method, the familiar bonuses, the same yellow five, the same cabbage, the same free, and even two big fish for free...
Today's vendors from Hongwu Sect, haha, are a little evil.
Lu Yi looked at Li Sheng and whispered, "Let's go to the cabinet room to find Minister Jian."
Value for money.
Jian Yi heard the news about Lu Yi and Li Sheng, and came to Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, Xia Yuanji and others to discuss. Xie Jin and Yang Shiqi knew that things were about to change, but they didn't know what Zhu Yunwen was planning. To ensure safety, Yang Shiqi suggested convening an emergency meeting.
It's just that this large-scale gathering requires Zhu Yunwen's approval.
Wuying Palace.
Zhu Yunwen looked at Yang Shiqi and Xie Jin and shook his head slightly: "The world is peaceful and there are no urgent military or government affairs, so why call officials for discussion."
Yang Shiqi didn't believe that Zhu Yunwen didn't have the information. He was so immobile, fearing that he might scare the snake and let it run away.
Xie Jin begged again, and said pointedly: "Your Majesty, the governance strategy of Dingyuan Province requires the participation of officials from the Six Ministries, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Without one government office, it will be difficult to discuss the subsequent strategy..."
Zhu Yunwen looked deeply at Xie Jin and said with a smile: "Since we are discussing the issue of the province to travel to, let's summon some officials. Next time we report, we must clearly explain the content of the meeting. Do you understand?"
Xie Jin was a sensible person and immediately said: "I understand, I will definitely explain the contents of the meeting clearly, including to the officials participating in the meeting."
