Chapter 179 Chaos Guangzhou, Chaos People
The letter placed in the hands of several representatives of the six major merchant gangs was like a sharp blade stabbing in the hearts of the six people.
"Who has the final say in Guangdong right now?" Wang Fulin suddenly asked a strange question.
Xie Yiyuan smiled: "I don't know now, I believe that it will be the Bai Minghe soon. I don't care about his cruelty, I don't care about his closeness to Dongchang. But he keeps his original intentions and still has a righteous spirit. As long as he keeps his business, keeps his faith, be virtuous, and be a minister, be loyal. I will support him!"
"What about this incident? How does Mr. Xie think about it?"
"Bai Minghe is too crazy, so arrogant that he is arrogant. He can't help but oppose it, and he will not bear it. But he is still young after all, and the matter is wrong. First of all, the Guangdong Business Gang is wrong. He can only leave a point and not directly cut off the Guangdong Business Gang's business route. I want to say good about this. But..."
When Xie Yiyuan said, the other five people looked at him.
"But Bai Minghe was wrong. The mistake was that he didn't care about what others thought, nor what we were thinking about. He only cared about his own pleasure for a moment. I thought he was too frivolous."
"Maybe, is there any special reason?" Wang Fulin said to the Baiming He.
Xie Yiyuan nodded: "If there is really a reason, for example..." Xie Yiyuan picked up the blood book and looked at it again: "If there is really something that we can't think of, I personally come to him to apologize and apologize! But if not, I will come to him to scold him. If he is really a cruel person, I will also jail me!"
The literati of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Confucian businessmen, were still very backbone.
On the other hand, all the elders of the Guangdong Merchant Gang were having a meeting, and half of them didn't even know about the strike, and they were notified after the strike.
At this time, the Guangdong merchant gang had been divided into two factions, which were like water and fire.
On the one hand, he thought that he should stick to the end and let Baiminghe see the backbone of the Guangdong business gang. But his other half did not agree. Baiminghe did not do anything to target the Guangdong business gang. Why is the business gang hostile to Baiminghe?
"It's better to spread rumors. Guangdong Dusi Yamen recruits workers to dig rotten mines and build roads, and many people die every day."
"Do you want to be wiped out?" Another cursed: "Your head is stupider than a pig. A second-rank official said that he would search the house and search it. What are you? If you dare to spread rumors, he would dare to search all the people of the Guangdong Merchants Gang and exterminate the clan. This is called slandering the court." The man who was cursing was about to say something, but an old man said: "The Chaozhou Gang withdrew from the Guangdong Gang!"
The entire venue became quiet in an instant.
Hu Xiu thought of the mysterious man terrible because he was always controlled by others. In fact, the people do not fight with officials. Merchants are ordinary people, and they cannot use their lives to oppose the government unless they are people with ulterior motives.
An old man slowly stood up and extended his hand to the person who proposed to withdraw from the Guangdong Gang: "I'm fine!"
"The family is in peace!" Another person stretched out his hand.
Chaozhou, Shanzhou and Jieyang have always had a sense of being of the same root. The three places are very close, and at this time they are willing to advance and retreat with the Chaozhou Gang.
"We'll retreat too!" Two middle-aged men with their heads wrapped in blue cloth scarves also stood up.
The Guangdong Business Gang is divided into three major parts. One part is the Guangzhou Gang, mainly with Guangzhou City as its core force. The part is the Chaoshan Gang, which is a brotherly-minded person. The last part is the Hakka Gang.
These three major forces broke up, and businessmen from other small places also made choices.
Qionghai Gang and Lufeng Gang, many small and caravans with only a few dozen people, made their choices as listeners during the Guangdong Gang meeting.
"Okay, don't look back!"
"Goodbye!" It was meaningless to say harsh words. As the old man who proposed to break, the rest of the small business gangs followed closely. At this time, whether it was just or not, they were unwilling to fight the government with their lives.
The people's hearts of the merchants have been used, and the people's hearts of each business are even more dispersed.
The terrible low price, how to do their business in the future, is a huge plan for Baiminghe.
Many businessmen are even considering whether they want to open their doors to do business. If this continues, they will have to close the door forever within ten days.
Just when the merchants were extremely confused, military soldiers came out to clean up the streets.
The Baiminghe is going to return to Guangzhou City from Qinghui Garden. The streets are crowded with people buying rice and salt. In fact, without the need for soldiers to lead the way, the people have already consciously given way to both sides of the road.
I don’t know what kind of official Bai Minghe is, but the most evil person in Guangdong is. He destroyed the entire family of the governor. There were also several trusted officials of the governor. When the merchants made a fuss, they directly lost the merchant’s way. There were enough goods here, and rice bags piled up into mountains, so there was no need to mention them. They used copper basins, and a basin was ten kilograms per basin.
Many people weighed it, which was definitely more than ten kilograms.
Never go against evil people. The people are pure and kind. They know this truth very well. Everyone in Guangzhou knows the evil name of the white-name crane. Although it is evil, it is a good person, at least it has not bullied the people.
The white-famous crane was not on the carriage, he just made a illusion of returning to Guangzhou City.
Soon, the former governor heard someone shouting something at the entrance of the yamen, but few people in Guangzhou could understand it. Some people who traveled around the world listened and explained it to other people.
"That was the Guanzhong dialect of Qin. This Lord Bai seemed angry. His wife was happy and would not let him have peace for two days. She also rushed back to Guangzhou City, and then said that he was asking whether he was stealing the steamed buns from the merchant's house or robbing the candy from the merchant's child. If you stop the market, you will never open the market."
Many people thought to themselves: Yes, this Lord Bai did not offend the business gang, why did you stop the market?
People who have been arranged long ago began to promote among the people, and the government is naturally good for the people. At present, there are many tasks in Guangdong that require people to do. In the future, food, clothing and expenses will be paid as long as they work. If the merchants really stop the market, the government will not care. I heard that the number of people who need to work is at least 400,000, and just those who weave hemp ropes require thousands of people.
The most needed is the people loading the goods at the dock, and there are tens of thousands of people.
Bai Minghe walked around the door and returned to the mansion with a smirk. This time, his important thugs and the secret master arrived. Bai Minghe naturally began to start a new plan.
"I'm going to Siam!" Bai Minghe spoke up very simply and directly.
"Can the adults leave with peace of mind? The matter here has not been handled, who can make the decision on behalf of the adults? And who can go on behalf of the adults? General Liu Mingxuan has already gone to the capital, but there is no one in charge when he goes to Siam. If anything happens, who will be responsible."
Lu Qiyuan found a lot of reasons.
"How is Su Muyun?" Bai Minghe did not ask Lu Qiyuan, but Zeng Tao.
Zeng Tao immediately replied without considering it: "Sir, students think it's not good. Maybe it's OK in the future, but not at the moment. No one can become the spokesperson for adults. What's more, this time, we have to issue a national certificate, and it's probably inappropriate for no official. And only you have the scepter of the envoy!"
"So, what about Lord Jie Ji?" Bai Minghe chose another person.
"Mr. Jie is the governor of Guangdong. He cannot leave Guangdong without the holy order. Moreover, only the adults can handle Siam affairs."
The white-famous He pointed at Lu Qiyuan: "You are the only one, you go on behalf of me. I will say, I will invite the King of Siam to Guangzhou City."
"Sir, no. The canonized letter of nationality must be issued in the Siam Royal City. It was a disrespectful thing for the Ming Dynasty to come to Guangzhou."
"The left cannot do it, the right cannot do it. What do you want to say? I haven't seen you confess in a serial way, why is it just a tone?" Bai Minghe cursed with a smile.
The three masters all laughed and replied almost in unison: "Sir, we are doing our best according to etiquette!"
"Forget it, I will handle the matters in Guangzhou City first, and it will not be too late for me to go. There are a few things you can handle for me now." Bai Minghe pulled out a map: "First build a 10,000-acre salt farm on Qiongdao. This is the safety of Qionghaiwei commands the security of the security. You can choose one of them yourself and supervise the construction of this salt factory. There is only one requirement. Before the end of this month, I will see the first batch of salt!"
The two people from Hepu discussed a few words, almost the same attitude.
"Sir, let Zhong Ming go away. He is a sinner. He can make meritorious service. He is good at managing such matters. He is in charge of the workshop where women's menstruation scarves are used. However, there are all female workers. According to the wife, it is important to choose a female nurseryman. The rest of the place is very important. He is not very reliable, so it is definitely no problem to manage the salt farm."
"It's him, but I have to give him a warning!" Bai Minghe clapped his hands and decided.
"Don't worry, Wu Baihu arranged two people, called protection and surveillance. If he had any restlessness, he would definitely not escape our eyes!"
Bai Minghe waved his hand, and this matter was decided.
"Tao Liwen, I asked you to analyze Siamese spices and set procurement goals. Do you have any results?"
Tao Liwen blushed: "Sir, although the students are dedicated, they still cannot do well. Because the students do not understand spices, they only choose thirteen types, but they don't know how the yield of Siam is. There are more than 100 samples. The students think they are all good spices, but they don't know how to use them. They have read many books, but there are no relevant records, and they are all things that the Ming Dynasty did not have."
"Those who don't have one are valuable. When I go to Wang Fulin, I will say that I have said that. There are more than 100 samples of spices here, and I want to make a book. Then, let him arrange someone to come."
"Yes, sir!" Tao Liwen replied, and said, "Hui Shang once sent someone over to want 100 stones of cinnamon. Because sir is not in Guangdong, the students gave them one stone. The price they offered was extremely high because the cinnamon in Siam was of very good quality."
"How many do we have?" Bai Minghe didn't know his warehouse inventory.
"Sir, we pulled almost a boat of cinnamon at that time, with 1,500 ingredients." Tao Liwen answered respectfully.
