Huang Qigan and Wang Huan looked at each other, and Wang Huan asked, "Does Mr. Wu look forward to Commander Li?"

“Hey~~”

Wu Shimin waved his hand and smiled, "I didn't say this. Today, the emperor is orthodox, with Zhang Xianzhong and Li Zi becoming a confidant, and Commander Li emerged from a new force. Who is the dragon and who is the insect? It is hard to tell until the last moment.

However... Commander Li should not be difficult to take down Yangzhou. It depends on what he does below. After all, Yangzhou is not comparable to Gaoyou. Gaoyou is a small city that can be governed without doing anything, while Yangzhou is a big town in the world. Everything is complicated. If he can manage Yangzhou well, he can also manage the world well."

"Then I'll wait... Should I leave or stay?"

Huang Qigan hesitated.

Wu Shimin stroked his sparse beard and pondered: "When I came, I saw that the shops on the street were closed better. Many people took their families to Nanjing. If you and I want to leave, they will naturally be able to leave, but they are afraid that they will never come back after leaving. I miss you and my ancestors. Since the Hongzhi period, I have come to Yangzhou to make a living. After generations, I have finally saved up this family business. Who can be willing to let go?"

"yes!"

Wang Huan nodded and said, "Yangzhou salt industry was originally managed by Shanxi merchants. It was not until the Hongzhi period that the Kaizhong and France became the color-breaking method. Our Huizhou people began to enter. After several ups and downs, how many families lost their money. You and I have been lucky enough to stand out. If they leave, they will only be in vain for the Shanxi people. Then... should we... vote Commander Li and take the title of follower?"

Huang Qigan's face showed a look of struggle. Hui merchants were not as rich as Western merchants, but they were good at ease, relatively more educated, and dared to fight for opportunities. However, Li Xin was a rebel, and if he failed, he would confiscate his family and exterminate his clan. He did not dare to make a decision and couldn't help looking at Wu Shimin.

Wu Shimin shook his head and said, "I'm not busy for the time being. In a while, Prefect Han will definitely come to ask for money. Let's give him some of it, give him some face and support him in recruiting salt genitals. If Yangzhou can really be defended, then everything will be the same. There is nothing to say. If Yangzhou cannot be defended and the revolutionary army takes over, the Shanxi merchants are rich and arrogant and arrogant, may make Commander Li unhappy. Then our opportunity will come."

"Well~~ Mr. Wu is indeed a mature opinion."

The two nodded repeatedly.

Next, we talked about some romantic things. Sure enough, not long after, Han Wenjing came to ask for money!

...

Three days passed in a flash, and the revolutionary army never came, but news that Baoying and Xinghua had fallen one after another came. Han Wenjing couldn't figure it out, but just recruited salt ditches at a high price and did not dare to leave the city for a step.

On this day, Shi Kefa came to Gaoyou and Li Xin met in the prefecture yamen.

"Li Xin, what do you mean?"

As soon as they met, Shi Kefa was furious and reached out to scold him.

Li Xin turned around and said, "Cao Fu is very angry. Come and make a cup of chrysanthemum tea to remove the fire for Cao Fu!"

"Don't worry!"

Shi Kefa snorted: "The court has given you a reward, why do you still attack Yangzhou? Did you not sincerely surrender from the beginning? The headquarters really misread you. You, Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are the same as each other!"

Li Xin snorted: "The Caofu is so embarrassed to say to me? I clearly agreed that I would like to ask for the governor of Gaoyou, but you used a general to fool me. The court did not tell me the truth first, so don't turn the sacred governor into black and white."

"you……"

Shi Kefa's expression was stagnant and advised: "Xu Junmen has already explained the whole story to you. Although the magistrate is not very strong, he needs to be appointed by the Ministry of Personnel. If the emperor insists on his own, the censors in the court will make a lot of advice. Now it is a matter of trouble. Even if the emperor is determined, he will be powerless. Besides, what's wrong with being a general? You are leading the army for the court. Has the court not been rewarded yet?

Pi Ru Liangyu was named General of Punishment and had the power to command the general. With your talent, you may not be able to be named General in the future!"

"Please don't compare me with the thieves like Zuo Liangyu!"

Li Xin said with a cold face.

Shi Kefa showed a embarrassed look. All the troops in the Left Army's military needs and food were robbed. Wherever they passed, like locusts crossing the border, no grass was growing. It was even worse than Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong. At least these two people knew how to buy the hearts of the people and would release relief from time to time. Li Xin was more superior. His military discipline was not inferior to Yue Wumu and Qi Jiguang. It was indeed inappropriate to compare Zuo Liangyu and Li Xin.

Li Xin said again: "With the ability of the grain tutoring, can't we see that the Ming Dynasty has become weak and has not had much time?"

"Shut up!"

Shi Kefa was furious!

Li Xin sneered: "Why do you care about yourself? Did Caopu never think about it, or turned a blind eye to the current situation of the Ming Dynasty?"

Shi Kefa raised his head suddenly and glared at Li Xin!

Li Xin looked at him without showing any weakness. Gradually, Shi Kefa's eyes became a little vague. Yes, he had not only considered the future of the Ming Dynasty once, but he was often anxious to sleep.

From the beginning of Li Zicheng's rebellion in the second year of Chongzhen to the fourteenth year of Chongzhen this year, the situation in the world has not only not improved at all, but has also collapsed increasingly. All signs indicate that this is the end of the dynasty, but he just doesn't want to admit it. He always thinks that Chongzhen is a diligent lord, which is rare in ancient times. If there are more loyal ministers in the court to assist, it may not be impossible to reverse the situation.

“Oh ~~”

Shi Kefa sighed and said, "The emperor's diligence is comparable to that of the great master. This time, the emperor was shocked to see the emperor. The emperor was only in his early thirties and was as old as forty people. Later, he found out that the emperor often handled government affairs until the third and fourth days, and even stayed up all night. Moreover, the emperor ascended the top ten years ago, and only one queen and two concubines, and his life was simple and unprecedented. Is such a wise ruler worthy of assistance?

Mr. Li, I advise you not to be confused, assist the emperor, make achievements, and keep them in history!"

Li Xin said lightly: "All loyal ministers were killed by Chongzhen. Look at the current court, where are there loyal ministers? I don't want to be the soul under his sword!"

Shi Kefa was very choked, but Li Xin was not wrong, such as Yang Hao, Liu Ce, Yuan Chonghuan, Sun Yuanhua, Yang Yipeng, etc., who were not unique, but died tragically because of angering Chongzhen. Sun Chuanting was sent to the imperial prison. If Li Xianfeng was not in the imperial prison, he would be on the way to the imperial prison!

Suddenly, Shi Kefa was so disappointed!

Li Xin also sighed: "Gaofu, I know that your loyalty can be used to see the sun and the moon, but the general trend is ahead, how can human power fight each other? There is no immortal dynasty in the world, and the Ming Dynasty has been two hundred and seventy years, which is not considered a short life. What I mean by saying this is not to persuade you to come and assist me now, but to say the fact that you are thinking in your heart but dare not make it clear."

Shi Kefa shook his head with a wry smile.

To be honest, he and Li Xin are old acquaintances. They are not so repulsive to Li Xin. Instead, they have a feeling of being both a teacher and a friend. They just let him switch to Li Xin, but he can't do it.

Li Xin asked again: "Don't you know Gu Yanwu and Huang Zongxi?"

"oh?"

Shi Kefa frowned and said uncertainly: "It seems that he is a member of Fushe and has a certain reputation in Jiangnan. Why did Mr. Li mention it?"

Li Xin smiled slightly: "I once told Xu Junmen that the world is not a family of one family, but a world of people. If Caopu is interested, you can find the articles of these two people."

Shi Kefa nodded without comment and asked, "Is King Fu in your hands?" and stared at Li Xin with that sharp gaze!

Li Xin smiled: "It shouldn't be that Cao Fu had such an idea because of that letter from his family? In fact, I just wanted Chongzhen to think that King Fu is still in the world and may be able to release Li Futai. After all, the most important reason why Chongzhen took his anger on Li Futai was that King Fu was chopped into meat paste and made into a Fulu Banquet by Li Chuang."

"snort!"

Shi Kefa snorted: "The Emperor and King Fu are their uncles and nephews, so they must have known the handwriting of King Fu. If you just wrote a book, how could you hide it from the Emperor?"

Li Xin said in surprise: "Caofu, the students don't understand this. King Fu was born in Luoyang in the 41st year of Wanli. He has not returned to the capital since then. Chongzhen was born only two years ago. How could he have seen King Fu's calligraphy? He is here for the New Year and does not need to write it himself."

Shi Kefa was filled with anger. He knew that Li Xin had not told the truth, but his answer was unscathed.
