Chapter 123 Tingtao Peels Crabs

Yang Ling took out the capital this time and brought 300 personal guards, all of whom were brave and good at fighting in the personal camp. Each of them was equipped with a pao knife and a dagger. Three hundred people were divided into three teams, each with a chain crossbow, a short gun and a long bow. Unless there was an riot in the army, no one could think of hurting Yang Ling with these 300 people.

At this time, the guards selected by Wu Jie, the head of the inner factory, were personally selected by Yang Ling. Yang Ling was the soul of the inner factory. The future of thousands of people was related to Yang Ling. How could Wu Jie be careless?

If Yang Ling hadn't felt that it was too mobilizing, Wu Jie really wanted to equip his ship with a thousand men and a few more cannons.

Three hundred people were enough to carry two giant ships, but the third giant ship carried goods from wealthy families in the capital to the south. There were many princes and nobles in the capital, and these large families ranged from hundreds to thousands. How much land can there be outside Beijing to support them? These families have long been engaged in commercial trade secretly, and often use their family forces to take official sailboats.

Two days before Yang Ling started his trip, Zhu Heyi, the son of Duke Cheng Guo, Zhu Gang, and his son-in-law Xue Huan came to ask him to take the goods on his behalf. When he arrived at the place, his family members from Duke Cheng Guo’s mansion were there to accept it. Duke Cheng had helped Yang Ling with great help, so he sent his son with confidence, hoping that Yang Ling would definitely sell him this little face.

Since Xue Huan was beaten to death by Princess Ningqing's mansion, the new female official has learned from the past and dare not make things too difficult for them. The couple interrogated the slaves in the mansion and knew that Yang Ling favored them and was extremely grateful to him, so taking his sailboat for profit is the second, but the main thing is to express gratitude and make friends.

After hearing this, Yang Ling naturally agreed immediately. Inspired by this, he remembered his plan to win over the powerful people in Beijing. Yang Ling took the initiative to hint to the honorary ministers and ministers in Beijing that they could help them carry goods. Even the two brothers, Hou Shouning and Hou Jianchang, were jealous of the rich profits that could bring to the south by a giant ship. They were so arrogant that they brought five cars of northern specialties in the south that were scarce.

Yang Ling did not make any trouble at all. He also accepted it all with mercy. The Zhang brothers were very grateful to him when they saw him so disregarded his past grudges. Of course, Yang Ling had his own selfishness. The more people's interests were tied to him, the more helpful it would be to his future plans. These people could become his protective umbrellas and establish relationships with these royal relatives, ministers and ministers, which would be of great benefit to him.

Now the censors in the imperial envoy seem to have been hibernating together. There was no movement all day, but Yang Ling was not careless. He was careful and reported the matter to Emperor Zhengde in advance. He admitted that he had also transported some goods and used the money he earned to bring some rare things from the south to the emperor to show his wishes.

Zhengde didn't know that Yang Ling was so "scandal". He was naturally very happy after hearing his confession. Yang Ling pulled the emperor into the water and became the leader of the smuggling group. He also calmed down so that he would not be afraid that someone would stab the cold knife in the back when he left Beijing.

Yang Ling used the banner of the first tax supervisor, and was ordered to inspect Nanzhili. The court officials did not know much about the three major tax supervisors in Jiangnan Road, but Yang Ling had guessed that someone would definitely inform the three eunuchs who were guarding the country. I am afraid that the three eunuchs who were like local emperors were already ready to deal with them. Yang Ling, who now had no idea about the details, had no idea.

The trip to Jiangnan was more complicated than the dynasty in the capital. He was there for two lives. The three eunuchs guarding Jiangnan for many years must have many eyes and ears and ears and forces were mixed. Yang Ling did not forget how a dignified princess was bribed by a small female official to the slaves in the house and played with them.

So he didn't dare to wait until he arrived, so that the three eunuchs had already prepared. Therefore, the secret detectives he sent had already traveled day and night to Jiangnan to monitor the whereabouts of the three eunuchs guarding them.

Gao Wenxin stood aside and looked at the contemplative Yang Ling quietly, straightening her nose. Her angular lips, her handsome eyebrows, and a well-proportioned body. When she was pondering, there was a deep feeling in his eyes that was not commensurate with his age, which made people feel excited when they saw it.

He had a temperament and eyes that were very different from his peers, but when he thought of Yang Ling's embarrassing blushing when he thought of acupuncture for him, Gao Wen couldn't help but smile on his lips: Yang Ling's embarrassment made her uncomfortable. Now acupuncture has become a traditional program where she appreciates the embarrassing expression of the embarrassing general of the inner factory every day.

Thirty miles of waterway, and the speed of a huge boat arrived in a short while. Yang Ling stood at the bow of the boat and saw the palace pier. There were several smaller ships on the pier slowly leaving. Not far along the stone steps of the pier, there was a beautiful palace.

Along the canal, a palace must be built every other day for the emperor to take part in the accommodation when he left the capital and went to Nanjing for a tour. The emperor would not be able to find a house to live in.

However, although the palace along the way is expensive and has to be stationed in the palace, the palace is cared for by servants, and the maintenance costs are amazing every year, but they are of no use at all.

Except for Emperor Yongle who lived here in the past, the Emperor of Earth was bound by the system he had formulated to show the majesty of the emperor. He died of his own actions and lived in the Forbidden City for the rest of his life as a canary.

People often say that the shore of the land is the king's land, but this king has no right to visit his country. The palace is vacant, built and repaired, and then repaired, and it will last for more than a hundred years. Several inns were built not far from the palace. The royal family and the royal palaces from all over the country, and the imperial envoys and ministers who traveled here all used the pier to stop here and stayed here.

Yang Ling turned around, Gao Wenxin immediately restrained the smile on the corner of her mouth when she saw it, and humbly lowered her elegant and swan-like neck. Yang Ling's sharp eyes had long seen the smile on her lips. This big girl had never dared to talk and be naughty with him before, but since she asked her to treat her illness, her fearful and respectful eyes when she first met her, she was gradually unable to find her.

It's so sad. I miss the past so much. Yang Ling always feels that she smiles a little different from the past when she looks at her, but he has no choice: women, far away, inferior, and disrespectful. They expose their butts all day long and let others touch them. How can he pretend to be a master if he has dignity?

Yang Ling snorted secretly and said to Gao Wenxin: "Go, pack up your things with you and prepare to get off the boat."

"Yes, lord!" Gao Wenxin agreed. Just as she was about to turn around, the hull shook violently with a bang. Gao Wenxin threw herself into Yang Ling's arms with a whimper. Yang Ling was already unstable, but she rushed again, and the two of them fell into a ball.

There were also many people on the boat who fell to the ground for a while, but as soon as they fell to the ground, they immediately jumped up, pulled out a shaky Park knife and threw it on the side of the ship, shouting: "Who dares to attack the factory general's ship?"

At this time, five or six monks also carried swords on their backs, surrounded Yang Ling and the others in the middle with flesh shields, and looked around carefully. Yang Ling was secretly shocked: "Is it because the Dongchang sent someone to plot against me?" He shouted nervously: "Don't panic, see what happened?"

Gao Wenxin plunged into Yang Ling's arms, and he was shocked to find that Yang Ling's hand was pressing on her tall and plump breasts, and he couldn't help but feel angry and ashamed. She opened her eyes a little angrily and saw Yang Ling standing up to the sky and earth, and not only did she not react at all to her embrace, but even the hand was not aware that he was pressing on the girl's bulging chest. Gao Wenxin's heart suddenly rose up again for no reason.

This mute is a waste of money. Gao Wen was so angry that his teeth itched. However, he did not dare to speak out and hurriedly climbed up from him. At this time, the ship had stabilized. A hundred households stood on the observation deck and saw the situation below. The nervousness disappeared. Then he shouted sternly: "Your dog eyes are blind, why don't you give way? I don't look at who is on the boat, which has disturbed the adults. I want your head."

As soon as the hundreds of households in the inner factory finished speaking, they heard a voice under the boat that was twice as big as him shouting in Shandong dialect: "You are so mama, my arms are so hard that I'm so sad. How can you open the mud of the boat when you are blind? Yes! What about the Tianshi? Where is the Tianshi?”!

His voice was really loud enough, Yang Ling could hear it clearly. When he heard the three words Zhang Tianshi, he was shocked. He quickly got up and ran to the side of the ship to look down. He saw that the stern of a brig, which was two-digit smaller, had been smashed to pieces, and the river water poured into the cabin. The back tip had begun to sink. The front was raised.

Several boatmen like black iron towers were running on the boat in panic, looking for something everywhere. They couldn't tell who was cursing. A thin and gentle scholar in his arms hugged the mast and shouted, "Don't look for it, the Tianshi fell into the river, go and catch it quickly!"

A boatman was like a head, and he slapped his thigh hard and shouted, "Old dick, hurry up and slip down!" Several big men didn't even bother taking off their clothes, and "dumped" the ground fell into the water.

Several boatmen were water from the stern of the boat. The high-profile bow could not be found for a while. Yang Ling lay on the bow and saw a strand of hair floating under the water of the bow. He hurriedly shouted: "At the bow of the boat, on the bow of the boat, hurry up, who can water? Go down and save people!"

Although the monk on the boat was from the northerner, there were a few people with good water properties. They quickly threw Pu Dao and jumped into the water. After a while, two people with good water properties brought one person up. Yang Ling said happily: "Have you found the Heavenly Master?"

The man was wearing a green Taoist robe, and his Taoist crown was gone. His long hair was dripping, covering his face, and he seemed to have fainted. The two men stepped on the water and helped him left and right, but he didn't move. One man wiped the water on his face: "Sir, this man is a woman, not a celestial master."

Yang Ling was shocked when he heard this. He used to hear that there were evil Taoists who used women as cauldrons to practice how to collect yin and replenish yang. Is the dignified Master Zhang Tian also a person of this kind?

Several boatmen with very good water nature heard the greetings here, swam over and plunged into the bottom of the water. After a while, three meters away, a boatman finally dragged a man in green robe out and shouted loudly: "In this mud, in this mud!"

Yang Ling didn't think too much, so he asked someone to put down the rope. He tied the fainting master Zhang Tianshi and the female Taoist priest to pull them up, and then pulled everyone else up. At this time, Commander Liu, who was on the dock in the distance, also saw the two ships colliding, and hurried to rescue him on the boat.

Since he knew that the little Taoist boy next to Zhang Tianshi was a woman, he was naturally inconvenient to rescue him, so Gao Wenxin hurriedly asked someone to carry her into the cabin and rescue her himself.

Commander Liu arrived on Yangling's boat and saved the gifts. He hurriedly met Yang Ling. The two of them surrounded Zhang Tian, ​​who was pale and dizzy. Legend has it that Master Zhang Tian was omnipotent and had great magical powers. He was all in the Immortal Palace. Unexpectedly, the Dragon King of the River did not give him face and fed him. Yang Ling and Commander Liu squatted aside and watched Fanzi squeeze his abdomen, and streams of clear water continued to overflow from his mouth.

After a while, Zhengichishi Sect Zhixu Chong Jingcheng Xianhong Zhan Zhenren Zhang Yanshuo woke up quietly. Yang Ling and Commander Liu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw it.

The little real man opened his eyes and seemed to feel that the Tianshi fell into the water. It was a bit embarrassing to ask a few boatmen to press and press to save his life. Before he could see the person in front of him clearly, he laughed and said, "I have already calculated that there will be a disaster in the middle of September, but it turned out that it should be today, hahaha..."

Yang Ling touched his nose and cursed in his heart: "This charlatan!"

He suddenly remembered that there was a pretty little nanny named Fu Baodi in the cabin, and couldn't help but add: "This lewd stick!"

As the night was dim, Zheng Baihu walked into the cabin. Seeing that the factory supervisor was playing chess with Zhang Tianshi, he stood up and bowed to wait. Yang Ling frowned and stared at the chessboard in front of him, pondering for a while, as if he was undecided.

Zheng Baihu took a secret look. Suddenly, he found that the tall and beautiful maid of the factory supervisor stood behind the factory supervisor. He leaned slightly and looked at the chessboard with interest, but his slender hands quietly scratched the words on the adult's back.

Gao Wenxin's greenish white fingers were unhappy on Yang Ling's back, and there were not many strokes. Zheng Baihu could see clearly that it was a "two cannons, one". As soon as the girl finished the stroke, she saw the factory supervisor raising his eyebrows. It seemed as if he had just thought of a good move and picked up the cannon and slapped it. The chess was decisive and clear, and confident.

Zheng Baihu was sweating secretly and quickly turned his eyes to avoid being embarrassed when he saw it. Unexpectedly, in this blink of an eye, he saw the middle-aged scholar who was short and thin for more than 30 years, standing next to Master Zhang Tian with a smile, and writing on Master Tian’s back with one hand. Zheng Baihu couldn’t help but look at Master Yang Chang and Master Zhang Tian’s back in shock, not understanding what the two puppets were so serious about.

Every time Gao Wenxin beat Yang Ling, the bad chess game, she was happy for a long time. It seemed that Yang Ling had something to be willing to give him a chance. She wanted her to lose to Yang Ling on purpose to make him happy, but she refused. But seeing Yang Ling repeatedly defeated Zhang Tianshi, the big girl felt uncomfortable. It felt like her own child was beaten by herself. Why are you, outsiders? So she simply helped Master Yang to do something bad.

Zhang Tianshi, who was killed for several days, learned from the pain and made great progress in chess skills. Gao Wenxin thought that the manager Liao Liao was secretly helping him, and this time he became a rival to him. He became the governor Yang Chang and Zhang Tianshi, and the little maid and Manager Liao had a secret fight.

When Gao Wenxin saw the other party walking in the chess move, he immediately wrote "Ma 2 retreated to 4" on Yang Ling's back, and a hint of happy smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Two Horses Drinking in the Spring"! The sneak attack was successful, and then three consecutive steps would definitely kill the other party. Zhang Tianshi's army was suppressed by cannons and could not retreat.

Manager Liao stared at her eyes for a while, looked at Gao Wenxin and sighed slightly, and then there was no sound. Master Zhang Tian understood and smiled and said, "I lost!"

Yang Ling glanced at Gao Wenxin, Gao Wenxin blinked, Yang Ling smiled, and then asked Zheng Baihu: "What's the matter?"

Zheng Baihu pretended not to see the adults and the pretty maids, bowed and said, "Sir, the boat has arrived in Shanghai Town. Will it be moored here tonight?"

"Oh? Have you arrived in Shanghai?" Yang Ling was surprised and quickly opened the curtains and looked out. He saw stars above and desolate below. There were some restaurants on the riverside, but there were few residents in the distance, which were nothing like the city he remembered. Yang Ling couldn't help but feel disappointed: "Is this Shanghai?"

Manager Liao also thought that the factory supervisor was shabby and smiled and said, "Sir, although this town looks a little scary, the wine and food are quite unique. Why don't we stop the boat and walk and relieve the fatigue of our bodies."

Yang Ling said, "Okay, get off the boat and have a walk." He looked around and said to Zhang Tianshi: "Where is Ling Mei, please ask her to go and use some wine and food together."

Zhang Tianshi shook his head and said, "She said she was not very comfortable today. I don't have to pay attention to her. I'll bring her some food when she comes back."

After the emperor's wedding, Zhang Tianshi stayed in the capital to visit relatives and friends. Chengguo Gong has so many relatives and friends. It took him half a month to attend a banquet for each family. In addition, the Tianshi rarely came to the capital, so these relatives and friends couldn't help but ask him to help him check the Feng Shui and face. This took almost two months.

Wu Jiyuan, a rich man from Wuzhong, sent his family to follow him before he went to Beijing, begging the Tianshi and his party to Suzhou to pray for the old master of the Wu family. Although the Wu family is far away from Longhu Mountain, they have always been loyal to the Taoist. More than a hundred years ago, when Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the Buddhist path, the incense on Longhu Mountain was dim and it was difficult to survive the day. The Wu family secretly sent people to donate incense and oil to help hundreds of disciples of Longhu Mountain overcome the difficulties. It can be said to be the great benefactor of Tianshi Taoist.

The seniors of this mountain mansion had such a connection, and the little Tianshi could not refuse his affection, so he had to come with him. Unexpectedly, he was hit by Yang Ling's ship as soon as he drove out of the Dezhou Palace Wharf. Yang Ling felt guilty and simply invited them to come with him on an official boat.

The monk shouted the boatman to drive to the shore and parked, put down the pedals, and a few people got off the boat and chose a small shop. This shop was indeed a unique flavor. The hotel was a small wine boat. It was parked by the river and gently rippled with the waves.

At this place, at this time, of course, to taste the flavor is to eat crabs. Manager Liao asked the attentive boat lady to warm up two pots of wine and smiled: "The west wind is rising, the crab legs are itchy, and now the autumn is clear and refreshing. It is the season for eating crabs. Lord Yang, Master Tian. Please taste the flavor here."

When I eat female crabs in September and male crabs in October, the boat girl brought them to the ground and was full of female crabs. Yang Ling used to eat crabs, but she would chop them up and pick them up with chopsticks. How could she know any skills? Seeing that Master Zhang Tian and Manager Liao were eating the whole crab in an orderly manner, she didn't realize that she was a little hesitant.

Gao Wenxin was meticulous and saw that the master was in a different expression. He immediately took a crab obediently. He opened the crab bowl and broke off the crab legs. He quickly picked out the crab bags and cheeks, and then used the crab tip to remove the hexagonal heart and foregus. He picked the white and tender crab meat into the bowl and presented it to Yang Ling and said, "Master, this thing does not need to be dipped in ginger and vinegar. The original taste is rich and mellow. Please try it."

Manager Liao saw such an intimate and tactful girl and couldn't help but exclaim: "A good night of flowers explains, and the wine fills the jar at quiet night. I'm so grateful for the three flavors!"

Although Manager Liao's words were praises, they made Gao Wenxin's identity a little absent. Gao Wenxin felt a little light and couldn't help but turn her pretty face red and she was a little angry.

When Yang Ling saw this, he quickly changed the topic and said, "I just played chess, but I forgot to drink tea. Now I feel quite thirsty. The boatman, are you making a pot of tea?"

Gao Wenxin heard this and said softly: "Master, although this crab is delicious, it is a cold thing. I asked the boat lady to bring a bowl of brown sugar ginger soup to drink. It is both quenching thirst and nourishing the body. Why don't you drink tea?"

Manager Liao smiled and said, "Adults are from the north, so they don't like wine and good tea? It's okay to drink less." As he said, he took out a cloth bag from his arms and smiled and said, "I'll ask you to taste this excellent tea. This bag of tea is less than one or two, so I'll ask for it before I get it. Hehe, but it's good things that are priced but not in the market!"

As he said that, he called the boat girl and asked her to send the cups, and pinched a bunch of them into the cups one by one.

A farmer's family can live a year with one tael of silver. This tael of tea costs four taels of silver, or it is obtained by entrusting the lawsuit. How much does it cost to buy normally? Yang Ling was moved and asked unconsciously: "What kind of tea is this? It's so expensive?"

Manager Liao said: "This is the rainy Longjing in the first mountain of West Lake. I will not hide it from the adults. The young man has saved some furniture when he works as a job in the Wu Mansion. However, even if the young man spends money, such excellent tea is hard to get."

Yang Ling remembers that in later generations, it seemed that Longjing tea was everywhere. Is it so expensive to plant very few plants now? After being infected by Yu Yong, he is also full of businessmanism. When he heard that there is a huge profit to make a profit, he immediately paid great attention.

Yang Ling immediately expressed his joy and said, "Is this thing too little planted or not? Manager Liao is a native of Suzhou and Hangzhou, so is it difficult to buy it?"

Manager Liao smiled and said, "Even the local wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou, most of them are unsuccessful. Haha, Mo Qinghe, Eunuch Mo sent someone to sit in the tea garden every day, and no monday tea is allowed to flow out. Anyone who steals tea will be handcuffed for three days. Think about it, who can drink it?"

Mo Qinghe? Eunuch Mo, who is in charge of taxation for rice, grain and tea? Isn’t this exactly one of the three eunuchs whom he is going to investigate? He is only responsible for taxation. Even if this tea is tribute tea, it should be the magistrate of Hangzhou who is responsible for supervision. Why did he go beyond the crowd and send someone to take over the tea garden?

Yang Ling felt suspicious, calm on his face, and pretended to be careless and asked, "Don't Longjing tea supply be managed by the prefect of Hangzhou? It turns out... Eunuch Mo also has the right to supervise."

Manager Liao said proudly: "The tea garden produced by Longjing Benshan Tea is produced in several mountainous areas of Xianren Chong, Huangxijian, Wumeijian, and Mengduwan. There are only a dozen acres of mountainous land in total, and it can produce less than three or four hundred kilograms a year. It is not enough for tribute alone. The market is all products from several counties near Hangzhou. It is posing as Longjing Benshan Tea, which is much worse.

Eunuch Mo was worried that someone would sell tea privately for huge profits, so he sent other people to supervise these tea gardens, and even the prefect of Hangzhou was not allowed to be involved. Now, all the best-quality Longjings are worshipped in the capital and several royal palaces every year. After April 8, the tea produced in Hangzhou was only allowed to be sold and taxed. My nephew was a trusted local manager under Eunuch Mo. He knew that I had a good tea and asked Eunuch Mo for kind words. Only then did Eunuch Mo take out a little bit. Although this is not the best-quality emperor, it is almost the same. Please try it."

Yang Ling smiled faintly, not caring much in his heart. He heard what he said was so mysterious, as if it was hard to find in the world. I have drunk a lot of tribute Huang Jianer's top-quality rain tea in the East Warehouse of Ganqing Palace. It is even higher than your tea, but these words naturally do not need to show off to Manager Liao.

He took a cup of tea without caring and uncovered the cover. Under the light, the water was clear and green. There were a few tea leaves floating inside. A faint fragrance floated out and shining. The fragrance felt elegant at the beginning, and then the fragrance was endless. Although it was not strong, it was like the fragrance of flowers and plants in the Sanchun Field, and it was lingering for a long time.
Chapter completed!
