In the side hall, Qian Yuan was listening carefully to Guo Yuan telling everything that happened in Hangzhou in an indignant tone. The young man with only one arm left had a red face. He was excited and even complained a lot about Zheng Ruozeng and Mao Kun.

Qian Yuan looked at the young man in front of him with admiration.

Many figures emerged among the Qian family's guards, and the best qualified one was naturally Yang Wen, who was one of the six tiger generals in Taizhou's anti-Japanese war in history and was promoted to the general of Liaoyang.

The second is Peng Feng, who is bold and meticulous, brave and decisive in the battle, and his command is not inferior to Yang Wen. The rest are like Liang Sheng, Hong Hou and Zhang Sandu each have their own strengths.

But only Guo Yuan is the most tempted by Qian Yuan. This time his methods of acting and his personality traits reminded Qian Yuan of his colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Brigade in his previous life.

"If you don't have to take a chance, Zhang Fugui will be dead." Qian Yuan put down the teacup and whispered: "There is no need to blame Mr. Zheng and Duke Lumen. They have their own considerations in their actions."

Qian Yuan didn't know why Mao Kun went to the governor's yamen, but he knew that Zheng Ruo had forced Dong Yikui out of the forbearance chosen by him, which was originally part of the plan.

"Dong Yiyuan, Dong Yiyuan..." Qian Yuan stood up and paced back and forth, "I'm really unscrupulous. I can't just let it go."

Qian Yuan was not an official in the system in his previous life. Although he knew that sometimes he needed to take the overall situation into consideration, many times his choice was because of his emotions in his life.

But even if you make a choice because of your emotions, you still need enough excuses instead of fighting hard. For example, Qian Yuan used the excuse that he was raped by Japanese pirates back then. Hou Taoshan's battle made countless maritime merchants tremble.

Over the past two months, through letters that are almost daily, Qian Yuan has clearly realized that the Dong family is now a bit big and too greedy in the southeast.

"This time I go back to Zhejiang, Liu Hong will go south with you." Qian Yuan said slowly: "Passing by Yangzhou, ask Wang Yi how he has settled down and let him return to Beijing."

Guo Yuan responded in a daze and asked again: "Young Master, what happened to Zhang Fugui..."

"Hmm?" Qian Yuan raised his eyebrows, "I said just now, I can't just let it go. Hai Gangfeng can't bear it. Can I, Qian Zhancai?"

Guo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed, "I'd like to ask the young master to make the decision for him."

"You have followed the young master for many years. I don't know that I hate the bowing ceremony the most?" Qian Yuan stepped forward and picked up Guo Yuan, "This time I go south, you are Liu Hong's deputy."

Watching Guo Yuan leave, Qian Yuan smiled and thought to himself, such character should not be a regular seal official in the officialdom, but it is appropriate to be a deputy.

Liu Hong, who was responsible for secretly secretly for secret letters from north to south, went south to formally form a business with the Qian family as the main body. Qian Yuan tried to provide clear guidance on the destination of the sea ban and conducting East-West exchanges and other matters, so it was impossible not to be involved.

Although there are father and brother and second uncle there, Qian Yuan cannot directly command many things, and even communicate with them in many things. Let Liu Hong, who can guarantee obedience, come forward, which is a path Qian Yuan has chosen long ago, and Guo Yuan is his deputy, which is just right.

Wang Yi, who escorted Zeng Xian's family back to Yangzhou to settle down, was recalled to Beijing, not to replace Liu Hong. Qian Yuan was attracted by Wang Yi's background... he was born in a border army.

Since Qian Yuan made such a big situation in the southeast, this era has gradually become subtle different from the original time and space. The tide of business represented by sea trade has swept across all classes of society.

From the chaotic and disorderly maritime merchants, to the Hui merchants who were originally mainly based on the salt industry, to the Fujian merchants who gradually became popular again, to various vendors who relied on the canal, and merchants all over the world, Qian Yuan finally introduced Shanxi merchants who had strong strength to covet marine trade for many years.

From the wealthy families on the coast who prospered because of sea trade to the aristocratic families spread across the southeast, they gradually grew to the Shilin class and to the Nanjing nobles. In the end, Qian Yuan captured all the nobles such as the British Duke and Cheng Guo Duke in the capital, and even the royal family participated in it... Qian Yuan was favored by two emperors, and the royal fleet under Tan Qizhi made great contributions.

However, Qian Yuan deliberately made the Southeast army not interfere in the sea trade, and implemented high salaries to all generals to raise integrity. It is hard to say how long it can be maintained. Qian Yuan did not have any hope for this, but at least it must be guaranteed to continue until the official sea ban was officially opened.

There is no way to do this. In the past years, smuggling in the southeast was rampant, largely because the Wei Institute participated in it. Zhang Siwei was a typical example at that time.

The smooth implementation of the maritime trade itself depends on the escort of the Southeast army. If they also participate in it... it is foreseeable that they will quickly corrode and fall.

But the influence of the army on society in this era cannot be ignored. Although the civil and nobles and military officials are low, they are a powerful tool that can hurt people... While thinking about it, Qian Yuan turned around and went to the study. Dong Yikui's southward entry into Zhejiang forced Qian Yuan to take this move ahead of time.

That is the border general's sect.

It is easy to talk about other places, but the border generals were a major force that was difficult to overcome in the middle and late Ming Dynasty. Qian Yuan did not intend to have too much contact with this force, after all, he already had a strong influence among the southeastern army.

The entry of Dong Yikui's brothers into Zhejiang forced Qian Yuan to introduce the border generals into the big game of sea trade. On the one hand, the generals themselves were greedy for wealth, and on the other hand, the Dong family's bad intentions and unruly behavior towards Zhenhai.

Wang Yi was born in the border army and has not forgotten his old master Zeng Xian for more than ten years, allowing him to become a contact person between Qian Yuan and the border army generals.

But Qian Yuan had no idea of ​​changing his plan. Once the army monster was involved in the distribution of interests, it was likely that he would have an uncontrollable situation.

The simplest thing is, if the border troops participate, what would the Southeast army think?

It took us so long, and so many people killed us, and the border troops would have to share the meat to eat without spending money... They could eat it, but we couldn't?

There is no reason!

By then, Qian Yuan would have no choice.

Therefore, if Bian Jun wants to participate, he can.

However, they can only participate in the division of the support, and they can only participate in the form of a business, not as a border army.

After so many years of coming to this era, I have been in the government for a long time and have been to Shanxi for a long time. Qian Yuan is not unfamiliar with the border generals.

The border generals of today have not reached the level of being so strong during the Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen periods. Li Chengliang has not yet made a name for himself. Zu Dashou's ancestors' family are still nameless, and the Wu family is even more invisible.

Dong Yikui's father Dong Yang was once the general of Datong, and the Dong family is very famous among the generals of the border army.
