Chapter Nine hundred and Seventieth Harmony

"Take off Wang Wenyan first." Gu Bingqian said murderously: "Yang Lian is Donglin's literary courage, Zhao Qihe is Donglin's aura, Wang Wenyan is the leader of Donglin. Many factions are connected with this person, and the actions are also the commander of this person. If there is no such person, Donglin will inevitably be in civil strife. Take off this person first, and the next step is to invite Ye Taishan home. As the chief assistant, he must not be humiliated. As long as we do something that embarrasses Ye Taishan, he will have to go home."

"You scholars..." Wei Zhongxian said with a loud laugh: "Everyone says that we are eunuchs are Yin Wei people. In fact, they are really full of bad water. Those of you who do things viciously!"

Everyone here laughed.

...

In the early morning, Wang Wenyan woke up with the crowing of roosters.

Outside the window, there was still no light that could be seen. He did not rush to get up, but lay on the bed and woke up.

There is a stove bought from Hutchison Store in the house, the highest-end one. It costs Wang Wenyan more than 300 taels of silver. It is absolutely impossible for ordinary people to use it. Even if it is the housing price in Beijing, this stove is enough to be a small courtyard with two sides and one gatehouse that enters one building, and the location must be quite good.

However, it is cost-effective to spend more money. Wang Wenyan is thin and has a congenital lack of blood. The winter in the capital is enough to kill him. Shortly after autumn, Wang Wenyan had already asked someone to light up the stove. The room was warm, which made him feel very comfortable.

The streets were faintly heard from monks singing scriptures and the rhythmic sounds of beating copper wooden fish. This was a monk who reported the time and begged for alms. Wang Wenyan's residence was a deep courtyard, and the sound of the city could not be heard. Only the drum beats of the drum tower in the morning and the sound of monks walking along the street would be heard in. Then there were the whispers and yawns of the maids waiting to come in... Wang Wenyan smiled. It is of course a chore to get up early, especially when it gets colder and colder in the future. But he is the Secretariat of the cabinet, with a low position and a heavy weight. Almost a lot of business is waiting for him to decide. It is impossible not to get up early to do things.

Hearing the movement of his getting up, several maids came in together. A maid was holding an exquisite copper basin. Wang Wenyan took a look and said, "This copper basin is really not bad at work."

The maid smiled and said, "This is the copper basin of Hutchison. Hutchison not only has copper basins, but also five offerings, incense burners, wash basins, and foot basins. Each of them is very finely done."

In fact, there are many bronze ware in a wealthy family, and they must have been carefully crafted by master craftsmen. The work will not be bad. However, the products of Hutchison are not only very exquisite in craftsmanship, but the rare thing is that the design is very exquisite, not like Chinese copper basins, which are large and clumsy. The copper basins in the hand of the maid in front of her are very beautiful, the manifold design is very reasonable, and the carvings are also very exquisite, which makes people feel that they are of high quality at a glance.

Of course, these are all produced by Miscellaneous Bureau. There are a lot of copper materials produced in the copper mine. Making copper coins is a huge profit, but some skilled craftsmen are also a waste if they don’t use them. The value of copperware is very high, especially the price of exquisite copperware is far above copperware. In the past six months, Hutchison bronzeware has gradually become famous and has gradually become popular in the capital. Of course, those who are not short of money are buying the entire copperware. Ordinary people are also proud of buying Hutchison copper five offerings or copper work.

Wang Wenyan said with a "hey" and said, "These Shanxi guys really want money in the coffin. He asked him to make money for everything, and he would not give others a way to live."

While dressing Wang Wenyan, a few maids replied with a smile: "They don't steal the work of inferior copper smiths. The price is high and the materials are good, so they only make money from rich people. Our family is not bad..."

Wang Wenyan didn't say anything. Emotionally, he wanted to throw all the Hutchison things on the street, but reason told him that he could only pinch his nose. Not to mention anything else, there were also imitations of the stove in this room, other Qianjiang shops, but how good is compared to this? Wang Wenyan hasn't tried it, but the effect is poor to grandma's house...

"Master, this is a new Watsonian tines, ivory handle, look at this work, look at this carving..."

"This is tooth powder, and it was also produced by Huji. It uses various Chinese medicines to make cream and rinse it with tooth rinse, which not only cleans the teeth, but also protects the teeth. My brother's teeth hurt so much. He bought this set with great pain. He spent eight taels of silver and rinsed it for seven days. He bleeded all the bleeding two days ago. I will continue to rinse it again."

Wang Wenyan was frustrated and was served by others. The teeth rinse and toothpaste were indeed good things. He also understood in his heart that in fact, there were also great families who used tooth rinse and tooth powder. The effect of cleaning teeth with green salt was not as good as that of tooth rinse. However, as soon as Hutchison's products came out, each household switched to Hutchison. The rinse was good. The toothpaste was prepared very well. It was as soft as jade. There was a fragrance and medicine in the mouth. After rinse, I felt that my teeth were a little white, and my teeth had a hidden pain. After rinse, I felt that my teeth were a little white, and my teeth were dull. After rinse, I felt that my teeth were very good. Now, not only rich people were using them, but ordinary people would rather buy a set of food and food. Fortunately, Hutchison's toothpaste and tooth rinse are expensive and cheap, and the cheapest ones were also worth four taels a day. The poor people couldn't afford it, and the lowest level was affordable.

After washing up, he changed into a robe made of Hutchison cotton cloth and a leather belt made of Hutchison. Wang Wenyan was afraid of the cold and was still wearing the fur produced by Hutchison. In recent years, the Donglu rebelled, and then the court stopped the trade between the Hebeilu. The fur supply began to be tight. Later, Dongjiang Town and Heyusheng had a way to get a lot of fur. At least half of the fur supply in the capital was produced by Hutchison. Not only was the fur itself good, but the sanctions were also very exquisite...

Wang Wenyan was helpless. Now he vaguely understood why the Hutchison Store, which he thought was smooth and easy, was still Wei Ran. Even if he was himself, what he wore now was Hutchison? Which of the iron tools in the back garden and the kitchen were not Hutchison?

It's something that can be angry without remembering, but that's meaningless...

"It's a pity for Wang Xinyi." Wang Wenyan couldn't help but mutter. He thought that Wang Xinyi was also one of the powerful generals in Donglin, but he ended up in Datong. Wang Wenyan had previously blamed this person for being unfavorable. Now, when he thought about it, wouldn't it be normal for Wang Xinyi to fight against such a giant as Hutchison?

When he arrived at the gate, another black painted carriage with a streamlined body was parked, and Wang Wenyan was already expressionless. Only then did he suddenly realize that he had offended some kind of behemoth.

What shocked him even more was that Hutchison not only these things, but also the so-called logistics industry, escort businesses, accounts, traveling to the north, traveling thousands of miles away, and making the merchants safe. There has been more news in the past two days. Hutchison has developed an insurance industry. It became a hit in Changping. The initiator was Shi Congbin of the Shi family. Wang Wenyan was furious and had already written a book to Zuo Guangdou, asking him to strictly control Shi Kefa, and asked the Shi family to give himself an explanation... This matter is not finished yet!

In the current situation, Wang Wenyan felt powerless for the first time. A person like him might not cry even when he saw the coffin. His will was extremely strong, but at this moment, a feeling of powerlessness hit his heart-

"Sit down, Master." The coachman saw Wang Wenyan get in the car, whipped the horse, and the carriage was moving forward. The street scenes around him were very familiar. Wang Wenyan closed his eyes. His daily route was fixed. He passed the left gate of Chang'an, went to Chengtian Gate, passed the Duan Gate, the Meridian Gate, entered the cabinet, and started his daily work schedule.

However, today his carriage route changed. When he arrived at Chengtian Gate left, he did not continue to move forward, but turned ahead in advance.

On the left side of Chengtian Gate, there are six ministries and other yamen. Wang Wenyan is also very familiar with this place. He reacted shortly after the car turned, and he said in a panic, "Old Fan, where are you going?"

The coachman did not answer, but turned around from the front window and smiled slightly.

This smile was so strange that Wang Wenyan's hair was standing up all over. Looking outside the car window, several Changsui who were walking and following him disappeared!

At this time, he didn't understand that it was not Wang Wenyan, who was known as the slightest heart of seven orifices. He rushed forward and cursed: "A dog slave, I said he was poor and sick at the beginning and sold himself as a slave to save his family's lives. I have always used poor people and believed it, but I really didn't expect that you are a foreign servant!"

Lao Fan ignored him. He was originally a soldier in the East Factory who disguised his identity and went to the Wang Mansion. He was not a slave to his family. He only drove a train in the outer courtyard and could not find any useful information. Today, the superiors ordered the arrest of Wang Wenyan and instructed him not to make any noise. Once the civil servants knew about it early, they would either come to save the person by traffic jam, or they would quit the rescue early, or ask the cabinet or department boss to save the person. Wang Wenyan is too important. Even if the result is not found, he must seize this person and strictly control it. In this way, the party struggle will be more than half won.

Such a simple errand must be done well. If you do it well, you can be promoted to the top. Lao Fan is thinking about promotion and rewards, so how can he care about what Wang Wenyan thinks!

The cart drove into a large compound, and Wang Wenyan had gone here, but it did not prevent him from recognizing where this was... This is the famous Jinyiwei Beizhenfusi, the terrifying place that can make people famous and change their color.

In recent years, the power of the Jinyiwei has been greatly reduced. In fact, the power of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang were severely weakened throughout the Wanli period. Wanli was suppressed by Zhang Juzheng in his early years, and the power of the factory guards was unable to move. Later, Zhang Juzheng died. Wanli had a short period of diligence. At that time, Wanli was determined to be a good emperor, and of course he could not use the factory guards. Later, because of many things, the power of the ministers was also sent to the outside world to search for wealth. The factory guards in the capital were quite disgraceful. During the Tianqi period, the so-called so-called Zhengyiwei in the past few years even suppressed the factory guards. Civil officials had ignored how terrifying the existence of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang. Few people remembered the past during the Jiajing period.

It was not until he entered the legend that Wang Wenyan was a little scared and shocked. It turned out that he had always been proud and felt that he was in power. Even the emperor was planning, but he did not need a formal edict. As long as the instructive decision of a major figure in the palace, he was deceived into the Northern Institute and suddenly fell into extreme danger. The previous power and power were really good.
