During the Ming Dynasty, Suzhou was not only picturesque, but also as beautiful as a paradise, but also the textile center of the entire Ming Dynasty.

According to historical records, during the prosperous era of Longwan, due to the local sea opening in the southeast, the entire Jiangnan textile industry developed to its peak. The annual cotton cloth produced in Suzhou alone was about 10 million pieces, and there were also countless silks and satin.

In "Three Words and Two Shots", Feng Menglong vividly described the grand occasion of Suzhou's textile industry.

In the Gusu land, men and women are diligent and careful. The sound of the weft and looms are all night long. There are about a thousand silk and silk shops on both sides of the market. The villages and villages are weaving silk cloths and are listed here. Merchants from all over the world come to buy them. Bees and ants gather, and they cannot be squeezed away. There is no gap in the road. It is really a place of beautiful production and a place of accumulation of silk.

When Taichang entered Suzhou City, he found that there were many silk cloth shops on both sides of the street, but not many people opened the door to do business. There were less than two of the ten companies, and there were not many pedestrians on the road. They were all frowning and lifeless. When they walked, they were like lonely ghosts, without any anger.

Is this the legendary paradise on earth? Why do you feel like you have entered hell?

It seems that Sun Long has caused great harm. The richest place in Jiangnan was actually harmed by him!

At this moment, Taichang was already in anger and wanted to arrest Sun Long immediately and chop him down on the street.

However, he still endured it for the time being, because he knew it was not enough and he knew why, otherwise he would not be able to completely solve the problem.

If someone else came, he would still be as greedy as Sun Long, or if he didn't know how to develop, then the whole Suzhou would be a stagnant pool and would never return to the grand occasion.

He had the crazy genes of the old Zhu family in his heart, but he would not be as brainless as the late emperor Wanli. In order to make money, he killed chickens and got eggs. That was a typical brainless one.

If you ignore it and just kill corrupt officials just for the sake of being happy for a while, but don’t solve any problems, it is also a sign of brainlessness.

Alas, if you can't bear it, you will be in trouble.

He sighed in his heart, and then ordered Luo Yangxing to direct the Jinyi Guard to protect the convoy and start moving around Suzhou City.

Originally, he wanted to travel around Suzhou City, but he never thought that after only two or three streets, Wu Yangsheng rented the courtyard where he stayed. This efficiency of work is really impressive.

It would be fine if it was Tongling. After all, Chizhou Prefecture is close to Huizhou Prefecture, and Wu Yangsheng often travels by boat from there, so it is normal for him to be familiar with the local situation.

This is Suzhou, which is more than a thousand miles away from Huizhou Prefecture. Wu Yangsheng couldn't come here just after he was fine. He was so efficient when he came so far away.

Talent!

Taichang walked into the rented courtyard and saw that it was a picturesque garden, and it was full of everything, so it was so comfortable to live in it.

He couldn't help but exclaim: "Uncle Second, how long has it been? You can find such a good place, it's amazing!"

The second uncle called him with Wu Wan'er, which may be a way for him to express his love.

Wu Yangsheng didn't know that the person in front of him was the current emperor. If he knew that the emperor called him the second uncle, he would probably be as soft as noodles even if he didn't get scared to pee his pants.

However, even the young master in Duke Cheng’s mansion was not comparable to that of the Zhongshu Shepherd he bought.

He quickly bowed and said, "Young master, you are polite. This is not because I am awesome, but mainly because Suzhou City has been in a slump in all industries, and many wealthy businessmen who do business here can't stay. Therefore, there are a lot of empty courtyards. I just asked a few places."

It turns out that's the reason.

If Sun Long continues to do this, Suzhou City will be tossed by him to become Fengdu City!

Taichang thought for a while and then asked, "What do you know here? I also want to buy some shops here to do business. Suzhou City has become like this. I feel a little unsure. I need to find someone familiar with the market here to ask."

Wu Yangsheng thought for a moment and said, "There is one, Ge Cheng, the largest cloth merchant here. On the ground of Suzhou, anyone who works in this business respectfully calls him Mr. Ge, but Ge Cheng is from Kunshan, and I don't know if he is still in Suzhou."

Taichang nodded slightly and said, "Well, you go and look for it first. If you are not here, then think of other solutions."

Upon hearing this, Wu Yangsheng hurriedly said goodbye and left.

Unexpectedly, in less than half an hour, he actually came back with an old man with a fairy spirit.

Needless to ask, this person is Ge Cheng.

When Taichang heard the news, he immediately took Cao Huachun, Liu Shiyou and others to meet him.

He now plays a young man who wants to buy an industry for the Duke's Mansion. Naturally, he can't put on a bad air. He is as arrogant as 20,000 or 50,000 yuan. Don't enter a stranger.

If this is the case, it would be strange if people can get rid of it.

Of course, he doesn't need to go out of the door. With his identity, he just needs to go out of the lobby and pretend to go out of the way for a while is enough to give people face.

Soon, the double conveniently meets on the courtyard trail.

Taichang was about to go up and say hello and say a few polite words, but Cao Huachun suddenly rushed to him and shouted: "Young Master, be careful!"

Liu Shiyou was even more exaggerated and shouted directly: "Luo Yangxing, protect the young master."

"Crash", the Jinyiwei who was on duty at the nearby station immediately flocked to him.

Uh, what's going on?

Taichang said in confusion: "Ziru, Ruoyu, what are you doing?"

Cao Huachun looked solemn, staring at Ge Cheng without saying a word.

Liu Shiyou carefully whispered: "Emperor...Young Master, this person is a rare master in the world!"

A master of time rare?

Taichang couldn't help but look up at Ge Cheng.

This old man with fairy spirit and spirit has nothing special about it except that he is full of energy and his eyes are like lightning.

When Ge Cheng saw this scene, he smiled and said, "What, Lord Wu, are you holding a Hongmen banquet for me?"

Wu Yangsheng is inexplicably confused. I didn’t invite you to dinner, so why did the Hongmen Banquet be held?

Besides, I didn't force you to come here either. You were going to follow me, right?

He couldn't understand the performances of Cao Huachun, Liu Shiyou and others. What is this?

He was stunned for a moment, then said with confusion: "This is the Mr. Ge who is looking for, what are you doing?"

Taichang was interested at this moment. He asked Wu Yangsheng to find this person, so he must not be the assassin who came to assassin him deliberately.

A rare master in the world, maybe he can help him win over.

Thinking of this, he gently pushed Cao Huachun away and smiled and said, "Old Ge, don't be outsiders. They are eager to protect their masters and have no other intentions. To be honest, I'm a little curious about how good your skills are."

Uh, this one.

Upon hearing this, Ge Cheng quickly bowed and said, "Young master, you are so kind. The old man is practicing martial arts to defend himself. You know, it is not very safe for laymen these days. As for any master, I really don't dare to be a master."

You scared the masters of the big insider at this time, and you still dare not be the one?

Okay, it’s okay if they don’t want to explain in detail. There’s no need to dig deeper into it. It’s just that you can understand the situation in Suzhou first.

While inviting Ge Cheng to walk in, Taichang pretended to be curious and said, "I heard that Suzhou is a world-famous paradise. Why has it turned into this hellish look now?"

Is this called hell?

You have never seen the real hell!

Ge Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "Young Master is afraid that he doesn't know the mysterious view. This is nothing outside, but the real hell is there."
