Chapter 810: Thorn in the heart

Here comes again, this kind of large-scale package is simply a big pie. Zhou

Sheng secretly wondered what currency reforms Jinxia City had done before and

issued banknotes by himself. He knew that there was a financial problem with

the rebel army.

When the bureau of affairs set up a school so that all the children in the

city were in school, he realized that there would be such a day sooner or

later. A large amount of Yancheng's income comes from the salt industry, but

now Jinxia has been regarded by the court as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in

the flesh. Naturally, it is impossible to obtain a large amount of salt from

Gyeonggi as before. Expenses are far greater than income, and it is only

strange that the internal library is not becoming increasingly nervous.

In order to prevent the public from noticing them, Princess Quang Binh

naturally had to make new big moves.

The prosperity that Jinxia City currently exhibits is actually built on the

shaky attic. Even if he can't see the accounts of the bureau, he can guess

that the current government must be in debt.

It's a pity that small places are small places after all, and not many people

can see this clearly.

"Well, Brother Zhou, do you want to try it? I can recommend you." Seeing that

he didn't answer for a long time, the other party continued to persuade him.

"...Why don't you understand, Brother Chen?" Zhou Sheng said impatiently. "So

many examples in the book have proved that the rebels are nothing but a cloud

of smoke. The foundation laid by Tang. To become a nation, having an army

alone is not enough. Without the support of scholars and family sects, it

can’t be regarded as a firm foothold. Now I ask you, except for a square inch

of Shenzhou, Have other cities and states come to the princess' side?"

Young Master Chen was dumb.

Even if the other party did not answer, Zhou Sheng knew that of course not.

Regarding this set of policies promulgated by Her Royal Highness, it is

strange to get the support of gentry from other places.

"But... Jinxia City won the Ten State Allied Forces..."

"The Ten-State Allied Forces are just the power of Qiguo." Zhou Sheng shook

his head. When he went to Gyeonggi before, he had already seen that a powerful

force was already unifying the countries of the mainland. "If you listen to my

advice, you'd better resign from the bureau and stay at home honestly."

"Brother Zhou"

Before Chen Qiran finished speaking, he picked up the teacup on the table.

This is the meaning of seeing off guests.

The latter can only swallow the words into his mouth, staring at him for a

while and then arching his hands helplessly, "If you change your mind, you can

come to me anytime."

"It's easy to leave." Zhou Sheng hummed softly.

"That's right." When he walked to the door, Young Master Chen suddenly turned

around, "Did you know? Miss Liu is going to marry."

"What are you talking about!?" His fingers trembled sharply, almost knocking

the cup to the ground.

"The person who married her is also an official in the bureau. I heard that

her background and background are quite good."

"She is just a woman in the Spring Tower, how could anyone be" Zhou Sheng

gritted his teeth.

"That's all in the past." Chen Qiran's tone was slightly emotional, "Miss Liu

is already a well-known figure in the Ministry of Education. Half of the

students who come out of the school have been taught by her. In a few years,

Maybe she will be promoted directly to an official of the Ministry of

Education, and she was at least a sixth-grade auxiliary official in the past.

How could such a person be a concubine?"

"..." Zhou Sheng only felt a fire burning in his heart.

He thought he had left this person behind, even if he occasionally noticed

her, it would be a condescending look down on how miserable her life was.

When the rebels collapsed and everything in Jinxia City returned to normal,

she would naturally understand how stupid it was to reject herself.

However, when he found that things were contrary to his wishes, the name

actually pierced into his heart like an awl.

"At that time, Mr. Hu and I are going to celebrate, which is considered to be

separate from the previous absurdity." Chen Qiran touched the back of his

head, "Anyway...I think this matter should be told to you, even if you don't

want to go, we You can also celebrate on your behalf. Then... I'll leave

first."

The courtyard door was closed, and the house returned to silence.

Zhou Sheng sat at the table, completely lost in drinking.

Liu Ruyan is actually going to marry, and the way the Ming media is marrying,

the target is also said to be in the middle of nowhere. This situation is

completely beyond the scope of his acceptance.

What's even more unreasonable is that Young Master Chen and the others

actually recognized this situation, and didn't think it was an absurd thing to

allow a brothel woman to ascend to the position of wife, or even as an

official of the bureau.

Sixth grade official...

Even if he ranks among the top three in the palace exam, the starting point is

the sixth rank.

Then he has been studying hard for so many years, isn't it a joke?

Of course, studying is definitely not a mistake. What is wrong is that these

insurgents treat the regime as a trifle!

After a while, Zhou Sheng clenched his fists and made up his mind.

He pulled out paper, pen and ink cartridges from a mess, and began to write

letters like this. He had written many letters. At first, secret agents from

the Privy Council would specially connect with him. Later, the Allied Forces

of Ten States were defeated, so he commissioned them by himself. The caravan

was sent to Gyeonggi every month without interruption.

These letters are all the information he has collected, such as where the

Jinxia Army is stationed, and what weird things the Bureau of Mechanical

Engineering has made. Unfortunately, all the secret letters have fallen to the

ground, and he has never received a reply.

Until recently, Zhou Sheng also became frustrated and buried himself in a wine

bottle all day to suppress his fear of exposure.

But the news brought by Master Chen cheered him up again.

After writing the letter, Zhou Sheng folded it carefully, stuffed it into the

envelope, and then walked out of the compound. This time, he did not carry a

hip flask.

...

Two weeks later.

In a private house in Jinxia West District, Zhou Sheng is making the final

preparations~www.mtlnovel.com~ He has obviously lost a lot of weight this

time, his clothes are no longer as neat and clean as before, and there are

layers of scum on his face. .

After the house was sold, he received a large sum of cash. Originally, he

planned to rent a smaller house with the money, and send the rest to his

parents, not taking up his responsibilities, nor the Zhou family. But now,

money has more important uses.

"My son, the carriage is ready." A servant rubbed his hands and said.

The quality of these helpers hired from surrounding towns is far lower than

that of his own servants, but now he has no better choice. Zhou Sheng quietly

raised the curtains and looked out with his probe. It was already the third

watch, and according to Jinxia's new timing method, it was one o'clock in the

morning. It stands to reason that most people fall asleep early at this time

and the city will be shrouded in darkness. However, even in the middle of the

night in Jinxia City, some firelights can still be seen in the direction of

the yard area and the harbor. He heard that the sea fishing of the elves will

continue into the evening. In order to ensure the freshness of the food, part

of the fish will be slaughtered after midnight, and those merchants who are

looking for the best products will also gather in the harbor and the warehouse

for the first time. Your favorite goods.

Thanks to this group of people, even if he drives the carriage on the way in

the early morning, it will not attract the attention of the surrounding

residents.

"Very well, let me go." Zhou Sheng said solemnly.
