Chapter 130: Hai Rui
More than two years later, Qian Yuan appeared again on the wharf outside Zhenhai County.
Looking around, the road was withered everywhere. The road that was supposed to be crowded was empty. The market on both sides was messy. Even several houses were burned with broken bricks and tiles. A crying sound came faintly.
Qian Yuan's hand holding Miao Dao was exposed, "Everyone in the capital praised Hu Kerou for being able to manage politics, which is really a great thing!"
Hu Yingjia cursed in his heart with a blank expression on his face. His first reaction was that Zhenhai was so in chaos that he got me on his head?
The second reaction was that this guy asked me to sink to the bottom of the water... Yes, Yuan Fu hasn't gotten out yet!
Zheng Ruozhe, who was standing aside, advised: "You can't blame the governor Hu, searching for Jinghai Bo, Zhenhai's chaos, and everyone in danger of the sea merchants, and more scoundrels took advantage of the situation to rob..."
Before he finished speaking, two people strode towards the city gate, the leader was full of hair and beard, and glared, "Dong Yikui!"
The shout sounded like thunder, which made Dong Yikui take a step back involuntarily. The person coming was Ningbo promoter Hai Rui.
Hai Rui has become famous in the Southeast in the past six months. On the one hand, it was recommended by Tang Shunzhi as the Ningbo Promoter, and on the other hand, it was because of the arson case at the beginning of the year.
The border army rushed into Qiantang County to rob the prisoner. Hai Rui stood at the door of the prison, holding a sharp sword, not facing the person, but placing it firmly at the neck... Tsk tsk, how can you not be famous?
Today is the moment when Hai Rui's temperament is hot. He strode forward, suddenly accelerated when he got close, and rushed towards Dong Yikui with his fist...
Hai Rui cannot be blamed for being too impulsive. Song Jizu, a Ningbo tutor who was jogging behind, explained with a few words with a dark face. This morning, Zhang San broke through the government office and snatched Qian Rui and immediately left the city. Hou Ruliang, Hu Yingjia, Wang Bengu, Dong Yikui and his men also left the city immediately.
At that time, the city was in chaos and people were in panic. Dozens of Dong Yikui's personal soldiers took advantage of the chaos to set fire and robbed several county people along the streets and robbed property. Zhang San took all the Qian family guards away. Hai Rui led the government office and the county office constable, but the yamen runners could not stop it.
"Liang Sheng and the guard have already entered." Peng Feng, who was standing beside him, whispered.
Qian Yuan nodded, raised his hand and pointed to the open space on the left side of the dock, and sang: "All beheads."
Others didn't understand it, but Qi Jimei, Yang Wen and Lu Bin, who had been with Qian Yuan for a long time, knew it was the fifth Jingguan. The size depends on how hard Qian Yuan took the next step.
Hai Rui was stopped by Sun Ying and Zhang San, and he was so angry that he had no place to vent his anger. He turned to find trouble for Qian Yuan, "Qian Zhancai, if you weren't you rashly recruiting Japanese pirates..."
"Shut up!"
"Haigangfeng!"
A few harsh shouts interrupted Hai Rui's words, and Sun Ying, Zheng Ruozeng, and even Hou Ruliang, Hu Yingjia frowned.
Qian Yuan established a city to trade and made contributions to the state. The most criticized thing is that he recruited Wang Zhi and carried out maritime trade in a close contact with Wang Zhi.
Not only did the censors of Kedao once impeached this point, but also had great opinions among the important officials in the court, such as Li Mo, Wu Shan, Yang Bo, and Feng Tianyu.
In the southeast, due to interest relations, few people pointed it out in person, but Hai Rui didn't care about these things. He has been an official in Zhejiang for so many years. He acknowledged the benefits of maritime trade to the country and the people, but was also wary of the unity of maritime merchants and Japanese pirates.
This is the perception of many literati about maritime businessmen. Even if they bow their heads for a while, they will show their ambitions over time. This is also a major reason why Wang Zhi fled to the sea and the news spread, and the chaos in the two Zhejiang Provinces was in chaos.
Qian Yuan waved his hand indifferently, first letting Yang Wen take over the defense, then ordered Zhou Ze and Zhang San to take over the government office and Qian’s old house, and finally turned around and said, “I am wrong.”
Hai Rui, who had grudges a few years ago, was still waiting for Qian Yuan's mean rebuttal, but he didn't expect to hear this sentence.
"It is really a big mistake to communicate with trade."
"So, when the war begins, kill Wang Zhi's head!"
Hai Rui stared at Qian Yuan blankly, then turned his head slightly, looking at Hou Ruliang, Hu Yingjia, Song Jizu, Sun Ying, and Zheng Ruozeng around him.
Everyone was complaining in their hearts, and there was still a lot of things behind. Are you still in the mood to tease Hai Rui?!
Qian Yuan really doesn't have this time, mainly because he wants to leave time to let Zhang San take his father Qian Rui back to his old house first... Today, his father showed up in front of everyone, and a considerable number of people in the guards are from Songjiang.
For example, Zhou Ze, like Zhang San, he was a child of a tenant from the Qian family. However, the Qian family was disagreeing with the tribe in his early years, and Qian Rui did everything himself, so Zhou Ze might not have known him.
After almost the time was over, Qian Yuan started his steps and said casually: "Wang Zhi, a lieutenant in Japan for many years, has more power under his command, Xu Hai, and he will not win quickly. It is a blessing to quell it in two years."
"In the past two years, the food and wages from Jiliao and Xuanda, Shandong first had severe drought and then severe floods, and the money for digging rivers..."
"The trade route is cut off, there is no tax and bank, and the Ministry of Revenue of the two capitals is exhausted and unable to do anything..."
"The prosecutor means that you let Altan invade the south, the Yellow River floods, and the water transportation is difficult. As for the victims in Shandong, you can die if you die. Anyway, you don't care about your Haigangfeng."
Hearing this mean irony, Hai Rui breathed a sigh of relief. Yes, it was this smell.
Walking all the way to the county government office, Qian Yuan stopped and frowned. Dozens of wealthy households and shopkeepers of the business were waiting. Everyone had anxiety on their faces, but they looked at Qian Yuan with hope.
Hu Yingjia behind him sighed inwardly. Qian Yuan's position in the southeast is not limited to the officialdom and the army. This young man cleverly allowed himself to occupy an extremely important position in business affairs. He used his interests to weave a large net. A sharp sword can poke several big holes into this big net, but as long as the spider in the center of the net is still there, the net has the possibility of recovery and can even wrap the sharp sword in it.
Qian Yuan bowed his hand slightly, "Everything is known. Qian went south to inspect the sea and restore business, so he naturally had no choice."
A low gasp sounded in the crowd opposite, and everyone's faces were filled with joy. The middle-aged man at the forefront was the second son of Zhang Shiche, the former Minister of War of Nanjing. He bowed and smiled: "Longquan is hard to solve the problem when it goes south. Everyone in the southeast is looking forward to it."
"Brother Zhiyou, you are kind. You will come to visit me in a few days. Everything needs to be sorted out in the next few days." Qian Yuan's eyes fell on Zhou Ze who was walking out of the county government gate.
Seeing Zhou Ze nodding slightly, Qian Yuan turned around and waved to Sun Ying, pointing to Peng Feng and whispered: "Peng Feng is meticulous in his work. He stayed in the county government and stared at that guy Wang Bengu. He couldn't leak a piece of paper or a word. If he really couldn't, he was knocked out and threw it into the house."
"I know." Sun Ying replied softly. He knew in his heart that the key was to keep an eye on Wang Bengu, not to be able to leak information, but to not allow the information to be transmitted to Wang Bengu.
On the way from traveling to Zhenhai, Sun Ying had already known the whole story of the matter. Qian Yuan had his permission to leave the capital secretly, so Xu Jie didn't have time to notify Wang Bengu.
Among so many officials along the coast of Zhejiang, only Wang Bengu and Dong Yikui are Qian Yuan's iron-kicks, and Hou Ruliang is not Xu Jie's confidant. He has been mediocre for two years in Zhejiang and cannot be paid attention to Xu Jie, let alone Hu Yingjia, Erwuzai.
Once Xu Jie sends a message, it may only be to Wang Bengu. What Qian Yuan wants to do next will never allow Wang Bengu to cause any storm through Dong Yikui.
Turning his head to look at Hou Ruliang, Dong Yikui, Qian Yuan thought for a moment before saying, "Zhongcheng, General Dong will rest in the government office for the time being, and we will discuss the main affairs tomorrow."
Ignoring the expressions of the two men, Qian Yuan looked at Hai Rui, "Liang Sheng, transfer thirty guards, and then select hundreds of military soldiers from Yang Wen's army, and all hand them over to the Yu Hai Promotion Officer."
