Chapter 665: Worry For The Future (Part 1)
"Three cups of tea are enough."
When Xu Bixi, who was pouring tea, heard Wang Zhi's words, he looked at Mao Haifeng who had already sat down helplessly and amusedly.
"Entertainment Father..."
Qian Rui coughed twice and laughed and looked up at the ceiling.
"You stupid guy, you haven't gone out yet!"
Mao Haifeng stood up and pointed at Xu Bixi indignation. Before he could speak, the latter held a tea tray on the table and said calmly: "I have a tight mouth."
Qian Rui smiled and said, "It's not that the old ship owner doesn't trust Brother Mao. Just as Brother Xu said, Brother Mao is a good player, you are a good player to kill generals and seize the flag, but your mouth is too big and your ears are too long... If you go out to inquire about this, you will cause trouble if you don't have any problems."
"Hear?" Wang Zhi glared and waited for Mao Haifeng to withdraw in aggrieved manner before he asked in a low voice: "Zhao Dazhou is really Mr. Xu's man? Mr. Xu and Qian Longquan are really incompatible?"
"Actually, these two things are in harmony with each other." Qian Rui looked at Xu Bixi's chin, "Brother Xu should have checked it."
Xu Bixi nodded and said, "It's really a hassle to check this. Our identity... If you have any, even if you ask, you will be afraid of not answering."
"Don't show your merits, hurry up."
"Yes, adoptive father." Xu Bixi coughed twice. "In the end, he found two clerks from Zhao Dazhou during his tenure. Then he used a lot of money to go to Nanjing to inquire. Zhao Dazhou is really the master of Xu Ge... Well, in Nanjing, this is not a secret. That money is really a waste of money."
Wang Zhi thought about it, "That is to say, it was because of the incident at the beginning of the year that Qian Longquan's army surrounded the governor's yamen and had a quarrel with Mr. Xu?"
"As we all know, Mr. Xu is second only to Mr. Yan in the court, and is below one person and above ten thousand people..."
"I'm afraid that's not the case." Qian Rui said slowly: "In the past half month, Brother Mao has been introduced to him. Fang has met the Zhao family in Cixi and Zhang family in Yin County several times."
After a pause, Qian Zheng explained: "Zhao Wenhua of Cixi was the adopted son of Ge Lao, and was a Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, Zhang Shiche in Yin County, and was the same year as Ge Lao Xu."
"There is another report of the previous years that Brother Xu brought back. Fang sorted it out from beginning to end, and then asked people to inquire about it carefully. In recent years of the Japanese riots in the southeast, Wang Min was transferred back to Beijing after attacking Ligang. Peng An, Tu Dashan, and Yang Yi were both Jinshi in the second year of Jiajing, and both were Xu Jie's same year."
"But in fact, as early as the 33rd year of Jiajing, Qian Longquan had a good relationship with Hu Ruzhen, who was then the prefect of Hangzhou, and Zhao Wenhua, who went south to supervise the war."
Xu Bixi nodded and said, "It is said that Zhao Wenhua was a regular visitor to Hangzhou Food Park at that time. When the battle of Linping Mountain was Qian Yuan, Hu Ruzhen urged Zhao Wenhua to fight."
"In the 35th year of Jiajing, Qian Longquan was on the imperial list and selected Shujishi, but went south twice. The first time he visited relatives, and the second time he was to inspect Zhejiang as the censor." Qian Rui smiled meaningfully, "He is Xu Huating's grandson, but look at the people he is close to, Wu Weixi, Tan Zili, Tang Jingchuan, and Mei Shoude, all of whom have no roots in the court."
Wang Zhi didn't understand for a moment, and Xu Bixi reacted, "Sir, is Qian Longquan already having a gap with Xu Ge Lao?"
"Fang has been thinking about it for a long time, and it may be true." Qian Rui explained: "Originally, the small ones have been used to control the big ones, and they have checked and balanced each other. Hu Ruzhen clinged to the Yan Party as the governor of Zhejiang. Logically speaking, the governor of Zhejiang should be the master of Xu Ge Lao, but Wu Weixi is definitely not a disciple of Huating."
Wang Zhi stared at Qian Rui in a daze and suddenly said, "In other words, Qian Longquan is actually biased towards Ge Lao Yan?"
Qian Rui smiled and pointed at Xu Bixi, "Since Hu Ruzhen was transferred to the governor of Fujian and Jiangxi, some things are not secrets... Brother Xu knew about it."
It's not easy. Qian Rui and his son had been negotiating for a long time, and found several opportunities to separate the truth and leaked it to Xu Bixi little by little.
"That bastard Hu Ruzhen!" Xu Bixi cursed a few Huizhou dialects with his face, and then said: "Xu Hai's defeat in Shangyu. Hu Ruzhen wanted to lure his adoptive father to lead his troops to land and annihilate them in one fell swoop... He really thanked Mr. Mr., if he hadn't suggested going to Zhoushan, I'd be afraid..."
"No." Qian Rui interrupted: "What a person the old ship owner is? Even if Fang does not have the suggestion, he will not be involved in Hu Ruzhen's sacred."
Wang Zhi's face turned a little pale. When he recalled that Ligang was recruiting comforters, he landed in Zhenhai County the next day. Hu Ruzhen was chatting and laughing, and couldn't help but feel chilled.
He picked up the teapot and poured tea for Qian Rui. Wang swallowed, "Since he was interested in urging him, why did he kill me?"
"This matter is a bit unbelievable. Fang heard the Zhao family in Cixi mention it, and later corresponded to the news that Brother Xu asked about, and then asked about the matters last year." Qian Rui said softly: "After the great victory of Shangyu last year, Qi Jiguang, then the deputy general of Zhejiang, suddenly led his army back to Ningbo, and Qi Jimei returned to Taizhou with Qian Longquan..."
Qian Rui's words were rather obscure, and Xu Bixi interrupted and said bluntly: "Qian Longquan insisted on opening a sea ban on trade, and Hu Ruzhen was not allowed to start a war."
"But...but he is the Governor of Zhejiang..."
"It is rumored in the southeast that Qi Jiguang had studied military tactics with Qian Longquan. Qi Jimei, Lu Bin, and Hou Jigao were all brought by Qian Longquan. Zhejiang General Yu Dayou was also his close friend, and Taizhou Prime Minister Tan Zili was his in-laws again." Xu Bixi said: "Speaking of the time, Hu Zongxian was quite miserable."
Qian Rui laughed and said, "So, Qian Longquan is definitely not Yan Song's party."
Wang Zhi was excited, "It seems that he should be true that he claims to be Jane Zai Dixin?"
If my uncle doesn’t kiss her grandmother doesn’t love her, she is neither Xu Jie nor Yan Song’s person. So it’s a bit of a reliance, right?
Xu Bixi sneered: "Does your adoptive father remember the Yuan family in Cixi?"
"how?"
"Last year, the Yuan family scolded Qian Longquan for being a lucky minister." Xu Bixi laughed and said, "But I heard that the Yuan family's reputation is not much better."
Qian Rui bent his fingers and tapped the table, "Qian Zhancai is indeed very courageous, broad-minded, and capable of dealing with things."
Xu Bixi asked curiously: "Why did sir say this suddenly?"
"In the early years of the dynasty, Taizu banned the sea. Qian Longquan wanted to set a precedent for this dynasty and banned trade in the sea. This matter was not only related to the Japanese turmoil, but also to the southeast." Qian Rui said calmly: "Save Shujishi to attack the Japanese turmoil, set up a city to trade in the southeast, and the connections were spread across the southeast, so that the governor of Zhejiang Zhi, Hu Ruzhen, was stubborn. Such a great achievement was that Qian Longquan was able to reach the top of the sky."
"I heard that there are quite impeachments in the court?"
"Three hundred giant trees, sweet potatoes and potatoes, are enough to sweep away." Qian Rui suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that Brother Mao has made contributions, but he is capable. He actually has the arms and shoulders with several minor officials in the government office and found a lot of news."
"There are cats and cats, and the mouse has its own way." Wang Zhi smiled and said, "Besides, he is from Yin County, and many people in the government office were transferred from Yin County."
"Fortunately, I drove him out, otherwise I would like to praise me again... I would just give up on me, and I had to beg my adoptive father to allow him to go to Nanjing."
"What should I do when I go to Nanjing?"
Xu Bixi blinked and said without saying anything. Qian Rui said lightly: "There is a Qinhuai River in Nanjing."
Wang Zhi yelled and cursed that he was useless.
"It may not be a bad thing," Qian Rui advised: "On February 2nd, if Brother Mao hadn't stayed at the prostitute's house..."
Xu Bixi couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Wang Zhiren smiled and said, "Sir, what news did he find out from the government office this time."
"It's not important news." Qian Rui said softly: "Mongolia went south twice this year, Xuanda was in a tight situation, Liaodong was famine, and the cost of the DPRK and Central China was insufficient. Ningbo Prefecture has successively sent money and grain to the north to help each other several times to relieve the difficulty of the DPRK and Central China."
Wang Zhi nodded and said, "I also borrowed our fleet and carried grain and rice several times and even soldiers to Fujian."
"Such great achievements are simple and simple in the heart of the emperor, so he will naturally rise to the top." Qian Rui emphasized and said: "The business matter is not only the ladder for Qian Longquan to rise to the top, but also the foundation for his future.
Otherwise, why would he keep Yang Wen stationed in Zhenhai, and then transfer Hou Jigao to Ningbo, Sun Piyang left office, and then transfer his friend Sun Wenhe to take over?"
