Chapter 918: Fire and Combination (1)
Since the Lantern Festival fire was set in Suyuan, Suiyuan has shrunk, and the criminals have been unscathed, and the border troops have become more arrogant. This time, when they come to Zhenhai, they are ordered by Wang Bengu to spread rumors everywhere, and they are even more domineering.
When the city was established to conduct trade, Qian Yuanhui and Tang Shunzhi, Wu Baipeng, Sun Piyang and others thoroughly decomposed all aspects of marine trade. Each department and every manager were full-time and responsible. To put it simply, it was well organized.
These military men who have always been unruly can be said to be unscrupulous and cause trouble everywhere in the city. They actually ran to the dock to go wild.
There are countless cargo ships coming and going at the wharf, and there are a wide range of cargoes. There are many merchants in the grass market next to it for customers to choose from... Although there are only a few sacks on the ground, maybe the warehouse is piled high.
A military man took a fancy to the silk made by a Nanjing merchant. It was the famous Yunjin. He went up and touched it a few times and was scolded... Now, he turned around and called Dong Yikui's brother-in-law, the one who set fire to Qiantang, Hangzhou.
He burned restaurants, houses, burned people, or even burned people to death. Naturally, this brother-in-law was unscrupulous and didn't talk much. He threw a few copper coins and took Yunjin and was about to leave.
Just kidding, although this kind of Yunjin is not top-notch, the market price of one is nearly twenty taels of silver. If sold to Nanyang, it can at least make three fights. The reason why the Nanjing merchant put it on the market was simply to make more money with the help of maritime merchants... Now that they have only lost five or six copper coins, they naturally have to pull their brother-in-law and refuse to let go.
Now, the Nanjing merchant was hit by a hammer, his stall was smashed, and all the goods were stolen. The merchant who was negotiating with the merchant could not stand it. He only said a few words and was also swept in. He was bleeding after a stick.
The manager of Caoshi was Qi Jimei's old subordinate. He was seriously injured during the Shangyu victory and was placed here by Qian Yuan. Similar situations are countless in Ningshaotai.
He is not good at managing things. He has three fingers missing on his right hand and limps on his left leg. He has been beaten up before he can get up after saying a few words.
Things were completely aggravated, and Ningbo Promoter Wu Chengqi was present, but my brother-in-law didn't take it seriously at all and even spoke, "If I don't feel happy today, you don't want to feel happy in the future... If you don't issue you customs documents, you will have to drink the northwest wind in the future!
The scene was quiet, and rumors about this matter had spread throughout Zhenhai yesterday. Is it true?
Is it really necessary to cut off Yongjiang?
The well-informed maritime businessman already knew that the new Zhejiang Inspector Censor Wang Bengu arrived in Zhenhai yesterday.
But the Qian family guards who rushed over didn't care. Who dared to make trouble in Zhenhai? You have no discussion on how to deal with it!
The princes in Beijing, the sons and nephews of the big boss in the court, were at least responsible for the poker, and at worst... Anyway, the Jingshan Marquis tribes made trouble in Zhenhai two years ago and even killed a life. In the end, the guy disappeared without a trace, and the eldest son of the Jingshan Marquis was even broken in Beijing.
By the way, there is also Yuan Wei, who favored Emperor Jiajing with Qing Ci, and the Yuan family in Cixi repeatedly, first used their power to suppress others with their position, and then bribed them with generous gifts and asked for help. Unfortunately, Qian Yuan was not willing to eat it... Now the Yuan family is qualified to go out to sea, but unfortunately they no longer have the intention.
Just in the first month of the year, Yuan Wei, who had entered the cabinet in history, died of illness in Beijing and became the Minister of Justice. Zhao Zhenji was transferred to the Ministry of Justice. Only then did Lu Shusheng return to Beijing to the Ministry of Revenue... Now the Yuan family in Cixi has become a mess of congestion.
Amid the noise, Qian's guards, who all raised their long sticks, beat more than a dozen soldiers to the point of falling water. The brother-in-law was slapped twice, and his face was so painful.
"Something chaos has happened, I will only slap two people?" Guo Yuanxin was unwilling to do so.
Liu Hong, who was beside him, said softly: "People are doing things and God is watching, it is not that the time has not arrived yet... what the young master said."
Guo Yuan gritted his teeth, "Brother Liu, go to the city first, and I will take a look. I don't believe that in Zhenhai, the Dong family dares to be so domineering!"
Liu Hong and Guo Yuan had just arrived in Zhenhai and began to set up a business name. They were not named after Suiyuan or Qian's family, but were given the common name of "Sitong".
It’s not that Qian Yuan wants money, it’s too much. The R&D cost of the workshops in Kuocangshan is too high. In addition, it is preparing to pull the door in the north, so it also needs to give some benefits to the old subordinates in the south... Sitong Trading is not just Qian's family.
Liu Hong entered the city directly, and Guo Yuan stood by the dock and looked at it carefully.
The brother-in-law who suffered a loss refused to give up and touched his butt and ran away. After a while, seven or eight military ships crossed the Yongjiang River and cut off the business road. Hundreds of troops gathered, holding swords and guns, and the evil spirits drove away the onlookers in the docks and the Cao Market.
Hong Hou, who arrived, had Sun Ting's instructions yesterday, so he would not show weakness. With a command, dozens of Qian's guards faced the border army.
Qian Yuan's influence in the southeast was always extended downwards was fully revealed at this moment, with only dozens of guards standing in front, and hundreds of strong men holding sticks behind him.
Most of the officials from all over the wharf and Cao City were from the army, or even from the Qian family’s guards. Each one was either Qian Yuan’s old subordinate, Qi Jiguang, Qi Jimei, and Hou Jigao’s old subordinate. Qian Yuan knew everyone, and could name them, chat, and drink.
Dong Yikui and Dong Yiyuan were still waiting for Tang Shunzhi to appear in the city, but they did not expect that their brother-in-law would cause such a big mess outside.
On Jinji Mountain, when Xu Bixi told the story, Qian Rui thought for a moment and looked at Wang Zhi, "This fact is an accident and should be calmed down soon, what the old ship owner wants?"
Wang Zhiyou sighed: "The Dong family is so unscrupulous and arrogant. At this point, Tang Jingchuan and Sun Wenhe have not appeared. It seems that Suiyuan is really in a weak position in Beijing."
Qian Rui was silent for a while and forced a smile: "The dog bites a dog's hair, it has nothing to do with us anyway."
"Hahaha, that's true." Wang Zhi laughed and waved his hand to let everyone disperse, turning his head and staring at Qian Rui with a bright look, "But it may not be irrelevant to Mr. Fang, right?"
Realizing that the most trusted strategist around him had secretly had a secret relationship with Qian Yuan, Wang Zhi solved many mysteries, why did Xu Hai, who was strong back then, and why was he so compatible with Qian Yuan when he was recruited to discuss business with him... It seemed like dried vegetables were burning like a fire, and it was burning as soon as he touched it.
But Wang Zhi was not going to completely penetrate the matter. After all, the alliance between him and Qian Yuan was still there, and the young man was still his most solid ally.
"Since the 32nd year of Jiajing, I have heard of Qian Longquan's name. Later, I met at Ligang. I am a rare hero in the world. I have a long-term vision and are as expected. I thought it was a false statement at that time, but I really would be rewarded with the title of Jing Haibo in three years." Wang Zhi shook his head and said, "I don't believe it. In this situation, Qian Longquan can do nothing."
