Unexpectedly, Zhu Di, the fourth son of his family, took over his grandson's world and moved the capital from Yingtian to Beijing. He revoked the position of prime minister, but the power of the cabinet covered the emperor was the Ming Dynasty, but this happened to create the era of famous prime ministers.

He set a salary for his descendants. Who knew that the Zhu family had a population of more than 100,000 a hundred years later, which made the court unable to afford it, and there were more than one or two descendants of the Zhu family who starved to death.

He suppressed the merchants. In the late Ming Dynasty, it was the merchants who had the money to wear silk and satin.

Now thinking about it, no, it is a God-like perspective like Chen Kang. This is so sad. No matter how powerful a person is, it is not as great as the torrent of history. Even if Zhuge Liang is alive, he would not have thought of all the chain reactions that followed.

Chen Kang picked up the teacup, worshiped Wang Lucao and Jiang Liuyu, and slowly drank a cup of scary fragrance. The warm tea soup passed through his throat, making people feel full of fragrance. The tea tax system that Jiang Liuyu mentioned was only passed by his ears.

The shipmaster smiled and said, "You guys, you're at the dock right in front."

Chen Kang slowly put down the teacup and smiled, "I wonder when I will see Brother Bai?"

At this time, Wang Lucao called Ran Ming, who was sending a letter to Bai Qichang.

Ran Ming bowed and said, "Young masters, my young master has arranged your place to stay, so you don't need to worry. After getting off the boat, the villain will lead the way. When you settle down, the villain will go and inform the grandson."

The third young master had no objection to the arrangement and nodded.

In the blink of an eye, the boat landed, and there was only a sound, which was the sound of the hull gently touching the stones on the shore.

With a soft "dong", Jiang Liuyu jumped up, stood up, and said again: "After traveling thousands of mountains and rivers for so long, we can finally get together again."

Wang Lucao shook his head with a smile, ignored him, and whispered to Chen Kang: "He is very playful, we have to watch some things, Bai... Bai Qichang is not a broad-minded person, so it's better to stay away from him."

Chen Kang nodded slightly and then said, "But I see that he still has true love for Brother Jiang. We are just passing by and visiting Mr. Bai Yang and him, so there should be nothing big."

Wang Lucao seemed to have a deep feeling and said, "His true feelings for Liu Yu are just because Liu Yu did not threaten him. I don't know how he has lived in Changzhou for so long. We shouldn't be too close to Mr. Bai Yang. After all, it's not easy for him to manage these things."

Chen Kang frowned slightly and asked, "Brother, what have you found?"

Wang Lucao was stunned for a moment, looked at Chen Kang, then nodded, and said, "It's better to remember what I said. It's better to offend a gentleman than a villain. It's easier to avoid hidden arrows than to prevent them."

Jiang Liuyi had already got off the boat, and he waited on the shore but couldn't see them getting off the boat. He waved his hand anxiously and shouted, "Hey! Get off the boat quickly!"

Wang Lucao responded impatiently: "I understand!"

The three of them got off the boat again and slowly entered Changzhou City.

Ran Ming settled the three young men and received the silver reward. He retreated with satisfaction and turned to Shaoling Academy to look for Bai Qichang.

However, at this time, Bai Qichang was not in Shaoling Academy, but in Changzhou County.

Wu Junyu, the magistrate of Changzhou County, was born in Guixi, Jiangxi. He was a senior fellow in the Wuying Hall of the court. He was a serious fellow in the year of Jiajing. The year he participated in the imperial examination was the seventh year of Jiajing.

That year, Xia Yan was transferred to the Ministry of Personnel.

At this time, Emperor Jiajing was determined to modify the rituals and texts, believing that the heaven and earth are combined together and sacrifices are not in line with the ritual system, and wanted to establish two suburban sacrificial platforms, plus the sun and the moon, a total of four altars.

Grand Secretary Zhang Cong dared not make a decision. Emperor Jiajing asked Taizu for divination and asked about it, and was about to be invalidated. Xia Yan wrote a letter asking Jiajing to farm in the southern suburbs of the capital and the queen to practice silkworms in the northern suburbs of the capital to demonstrate to the world.

Because the statement of the north and south suburbs was consistent with the statement of establishing two suburbs, Jiajing ordered Zhang Cong to ask in an edict, and Xia Yan asked to sacrifice to heaven and earth separately. The court officials disagreed, and Zhang Cong also asked him, and the Secretary of the Zhan, Huo Tao, attacked him particularly fiercely.

Jiajing was very annoyed and put Huo Tao in prison, issued an edict with the jade seal to reward Xia Yan, and gave him the official uniform and salary of the fourth-rank official, and finally followed his opinion.

That year was the year when Xia Yan was honored and favored, and he was also in the year when he was recruiting scholars. Jiajing trusted Xia Yan and ordered him to inspect the examination room. When Xia Yan went to the examination room, he accidentally saw Wu Junyu's paper. He hurriedly looked at the lines and felt that this person was a talent for creation, so he wrote eight words of comment: the poems and prose were grand and the prose were full of arguments.

Just because of these eight words, Wu Junyu had such a golden signboard from Xia Yan's disciple. He got the third grade and was awarded the same Jinshi. Even when he was waiting for the allocation in Beijing, he was still cared for by Xia Yan and was finally assigned to Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture, and became the magistrate.

Although the magistrate is a seventh-rank official, he is a parent official after all, and he is in this prosperous and wealthy land of fish and rice. Ordinary people cannot share such a wealthy land.

Wu Junyu is grateful to Xia Yan for his kindness and is also a person who knows how to judge the situation. He has done a lot of business in Suzhou Prefecture in the past few years.

Several famous local families in Changzhou County were also quite satisfied with the county magistrate Wu Junyu.

For example, the Situ family was not considered talented, but it was also a famous family that passed down from poetry and books. When it was passed down from this generation, there were only three or five relatives who were officials in the court. They were not very powerful officials. The biggest ones were probably the doctor of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhejiang Qing Lishu, and the fifth rank was not considered big in the eyes of the big boss in the court, but the emphasis was on real power.

For example, King Mao of Jin, today when the Zhu family's royal family is full of nobles, the regulations set by Zhu Baba in the early years have long been useless. I don't know how many princes live the lives of ordinary people. However, King Mao of Jin was very prosperous in Changzhou. In addition to his daughter's success, she was born with a strange phenomenon and was deeply loved by Jiajing, the old prince himself was also very prosperous and wealthy, which was not enough to describe his extravagant life. It can be seen from the BMW and carriage when the Jiashan County Lord went on a trip.

There are also foreign households rooted in Suzhou. The ancestors of the Wu family came from Datong, Shanxi. In the early years, they used a lot of money to make a living in such a fertile land. During this period, they had several scholars and juren and several Beijing officials, but they did not do much.
