At that time, the leader in charge of Nguyen Phuc's business found business opportunities during this blockade. He sent people to buy a large amount of cloth and hoard it, waiting for the price to make a profit. The idea was good, but the ending was very tragic. No matter the rich and poor, they had to wear clothes, and in addition to covering the body, there was also the need for insulation. The durability of the fabric in this year was really not high. In a few months, there was no fabric to sell in Shenglongfu.

The Ming Dynasty cut off the trading channels, and the south was controlled by the Li Dynasty, blocking the merchant ships from entering Shenglong Mansion. The intertwined areas could not be planted, and the word "clothing" for food, clothing, housing and transportation was very dependent on the Ming Dynasty. Both land and sea routes were blocked, and cloth could not enter Shenglong Mansion. The North Vietnamese Dynasty was immediately in a dilemma of difficulty in dressing. The business leader, Nguyen Phuc, naturally took the opportunity to speculate and earned more than ten times the profit.

Originally, the grain output of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty was enough for national consumption, but the wealthy merchants who operated the grain saw that Nguyen Phuket took the opportunity to make a fortune, and wanted to follow the trend. They joined hands to hoard rice to reduce market supply and distribute false news about food shortage in a certain place. With the precedent of shortage of cloth, the people could tell the truth and false, and they rushed to buy grain storage for shortages. In this way, the grain market was also disrupted.

The shortage of cloth is still tolerated, and at most it is just worn old clothes. The shortage of food is huge, and in severe cases it will even cause turmoil in the court. Zheng Jian, the founder of the Northern Vietnamese Dynasty, was a very powerful hero. He made a quick decision to punish the wealthy merchants who speculated on goods and executed all the wealthy merchants who made money by blockade. As the Nguyen Phuket, who caused this storm, not only had to give the leader to others, but also had to pay a lot of money to compensate, which really made a loss of his wife and a soldier.

"Hongchang, doing business is to be a human being. If you are a person, your relatives and friends will hate each other and your enemies will be a big enemy. The hardships ahead can be predicted." Ruan Phuket looked at Ji Hongchang meaningfully, as if he was advising him.

Zhou Shixiong was confused. How could he hear the story above me? Did I do something that made this old fox hate? "Uncle said that Hongchang will definitely think about this issue seriously."

Anyone can hear Ji Hongchang's perfunctory manner. Ruan Foo Luomin smiled and did not talk about this topic again. "I am old and I am not worthy of Hongchang sitting for a long time. These singers were bought by the maritime merchants from the country of Tianzhu. They were given to Hongchang as a meeting gift. I hope Hongchang will not dislike it." Four girls wearing veils walked to the table and bowed to Zhou Shixiong.

Zhou Shixiong looked at several singers and said with a smile, "The elder dared not refuse, Hongchang thanked uncle." Zhou Shixiong had no good feelings for Indian Asan, but the appearance of the mixed-race Indian woman is very suitable for his appetite. These four singers couldn't see their appearance clearly, and their exposed bee waist and buttocks were already attractive enough. Anyway, they were all used, so Zhou Shixiong was not picky about food.

That night, Zhou Shixiong shot and fought bravely with his special physique. He fought with his special physique and all four enemies were silently summoned and rebelled to end the battle. The next day he realized that he was really a beast. These four Indian girls were only fifteen or sixteen years old, and their real age might be smaller, and according to modern laws, they could be shot.

In order to place these four girls, Zhou Shixiong had a shameless attitude to borrow a carriage from Ruan Phuket and let the four girls ride. According to their injuries, it would definitely be difficult to be affected in the past few days.

"The young man is brave and envious, but you must remember not to go too far." The old man was very tactful and teased Ji Hongchang with the expression that men knew, and quickly brought the relationship between the two closer.

"Uncle is not old and there is no need to envy others." The man must be very excited when talking about this, and this topic can break the seniority of the elders and the inferiority of the elders and make men get along more harmoniously. Zhou Shixiong didn't understand why the old fox spent so much effort on him. Not only did he send beautiful girls, but he also condescend to the nobles and gave him a gift. Logically speaking, this Nguyen Phuc Luomin should be Nguyen Phucsou's confidant. There is the possibility of coming to Lang Sang Mansion to cause damage. Is this manifestation now a smoke bomb?

Two days later, I quickly arrived at the destination Lang Shan City. In the past two days, Zhou Shixiong enjoyed meticulous care. He had a dedicated person to take care of his daily life, travel, and living, and food, clothing and expenses were even more high-end than when he was a marquis. All of this was provided unconditionally by Ruan Phoenix. Zhou Shixiong suspected that this old man was corrupting himself and enjoying such a high-level life. What should he do if he disappeared!

When he arrived at Lang San City, Nguyen Phu Bao went out of the city to greet him. This was the only person except for a few palace masters who got Nguyen Phu Bao from the city to greet him. Following the welcome team into the city, Zhou Shixiong looked for an opportunity to approach Nguyen Phu Ah Jiang and asked in a low voice, "Auntie, the adoptive father seems to be very close to this uncle. What's going on?"

Ruan Phuket A Jiang smiled, "You don't know that my father was killed by Ruan Phuket, and we two siblings were able to escape from Xuan Guang Mansion, and Uncle Luo Min's help was the help of Uncle Luo Min. Uncle Luo Min was very secretive. Never know who saved our brother and sister until now." Damn, it turns out that this uncle is a mole lurking in the heart of the enemy, the purest of his own!

Zhou Shixiong was sweating all over. In the past two days, in order to cater to Ruan Phuket's sugar-coated shells, he mingled with four singers when he had time, and even fought continuously in the car, deliberately creating noises for the old man to hear them. If the old man told his adoptive father these ridiculous things, what should he do!

"Looking at how hot you are, this trip must be very hard. Go back and wash up first, and jump up." Ruan Phuc Ah Jiang wiped his sweat with great distress, but when he heard her words, Zhou Shixiong became even hotter. Fortunately, Ma San squeezed in and bowed to Ruan Phuc Ah Jiang and pulled Zhou Shixiong aside. "Young Master, Hu Guangli's urgent report, something big happened in the north."

Zhou Shixiong was shocked. Could it be that Jiannu entered the pass again? It shouldn't be that so many troops were lost last year. Jiannu should not be able to enter the pass again so quickly! He took the letter and opened it. The first line of the article was written about the traitor Yuan Chonghuan Lingchi! Zhou Shixiong was shocked. The first invasion of Jiannu was so different from that in history, but Yuan Chonghuan did not escape the death penalty of Lingchi. It seemed that it was more difficult to change history than imagined.

Zhou Shixiong had never thought of changing Yuan Chonghuan's personal history. This guy was not enough to vent public anger without death. He developed the bad habits of Liaodong generals such as Zu Dashou. He should kill Qiandao for this one alone.

I believe that after reading the content in the letter, Zhou Shixiong was very happy. It was not for the content, but for the source of this information. The Northern Intelligence Network, which Hu Guangli mastered, finally began to operate. The first information was the shocking killing of Yuan Yuan. Xizuo was at Caishikou at that time and witnessed Yuan Chonghuan being cut into pieces and sent back to Guangxi as soon as possible, at a faster speed than the diary.

In addition to introducing the process of Lingchi Yuan Chonghuan, the letter also wrote some other information, one of which made Zhou Shixiong pay special attention. Wang Ziyong, Lao Huihui, Eight Kings, Sweeping the Flood King, Shot the Sky, Gao Yingxiang, Zhang Xianzhong and others, and more than 200,000 troops gathered in Shanxi. Gao Yingxiang called himself King of Chuang and became the supreme commander of the Northwest Vagrant Army. At the end of the names of the refugee bandit leaders, the general Li Zicheng was listed. Others don’t know how powerful this person with the tail is. Zhou Shixiong knew it well, and he sighed, “Oh, the sky is about to change!”

When Zhou Shixiong was working hard to manage the retreat and escape, several major events occurred inside and outside the Ming Dynasty. First, the Later Jin Dynasty, the Eight Banners of the Later Jin Dynasty, which suffered unprecedented damage, immediately reorganized their arms when they returned to Shengjing. Huang Taiji did not severely punish the owner of the Six Banners according to his selfish intentions, because he lost very badly and had no position to punish others. Moreover, there was no condition for cleaning at this time. If the Eight Banners of the Jurchens did not form a group, it is hard to say whether they could continue to survive.

The first thing that Later Jin reorganized its military was to build cannons. Huang Taiji gathered craftsmen who knew how to make cannons among the Ming army's prisoners. Under the leadership of a craftsman named Liu Han, Later Jin used the lost wax method to create cast steel cannons. Because the cannon body was wrapped in red silk, it was named red-clothed cannons. The casting technology of this cannon had surpassed the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty knew nothing about it. He only regarded this cannon as the Ming cannon robbed by Jiannu from Chongming Island.

The second move of the Later Jin Dynasty was to establish six ministries. There were relevant records in the Ming Dynasty's official newspaper. The Ming Dynasty's evaluation of this matter was to be a monkey and be the master of the Handan learning to walk. The things that mocked the Later Jin Dynasty for learning the Han people were only physical but not spiritual. Zhou Shixiong knew that this was Huang Taiji's preparation for his own emperor. It seemed that the Later Jin Dynasty would soon be replaced by the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty, which ruled China for more than two hundred years, was about to appear.

Zhou Shixiong could only know so much about the movements of the Later Jin Dynasty. The news from the Ming Dynasty was very smooth. After the Battle of the Capital, Emperor Chongzhen granted a great title to ministers, and military generals had already gained a lot of benefits. The rewards were mainly civil officials this time. However, several civil officials not only did not receive the reward, but were ordered to retire due to various minor mistakes, including the chief minister Li Biao, the Minister of Works Nan Juyi, who replaced Li Biao as chief minister. This person was not the most unlucky. The auxiliary minister Qian Longxi was accused of killing ministers and discussing peace with the Later Jin Dynasty because Yuan Chonghuan was arbitrarily. This unfortunate man was imprisoned by Emperor Chongzhen for not reporting the crime. It is hard to say whether he could save his life.

The last piece of information in the letter made Zhou Shixiong laugh and cry, and the Prime Minister of Guangdong Zhong Guo rebelled. The reason why Zhou Shixiong was amused and cried was that his intelligence unit was too new and could collect information from the north of Liao, but he didn't know that such a big thing happened to his neighbor. He had to wait for Guangdong Governor Gao Qinshun to report the report before he got the news from the newspaper.

"Does Cheng Peng and Ji Shi know?" Guan Chongguang and Li Fusheng left Youlong Town earlier than Zhou Shixiong, so Zhou Shixiong asked this question.

"Everyone knows it, and Master Guan also said he would write a congratulatory form to submit the court to congratulate the court to eliminate the harm." Ma San didn't know what Yuan Chonghuan was, but he knew that people who could enjoy being cut into pieces must be very awesome, and ordinary people were not qualified to use such a punishment.

"It's better to let him calm down, but don't let the emperor remember that there is a place like Xiangzhou." Zhou Shixiong didn't know whether Guan Chongguang was joking or the truth, so he told Ma San to convey his meaning clearly and not show off this kind of limelight.
