Chapter 420: Expedited interception

After Jiang Feng's guard sincerely expressed his intention to bring Li Liang's mother and wife and son to a warm place to live, Li Liang knew that he had no other choice. Of course, he also had fifteen taels of silver a month to withdraw from Sanjiang Trading Company, which made him quite moved.

The next day, Li Liang still returned to Sima Tai as usual, saying that everything was normal, and the owner of Sanjiang Trading Company was still wandering around the city.

Sima Shishu didn't take this matter too seriously. The stalking of the capital was just an auxiliary means. If there were any actions, they had to wait for the news from Liao Town to be transmitted back. This was obviously not a problem that could be solved in ten or twenty days.

Li Liang's judgment on Sima Tai's attempt to seize Sanjiang Trading Company can be said to be very accurate, but Jiang Feng would not believe this judgment at all. Jiang Feng's involvement with the Ministry of Revenue can be said to be too deep. Not to mention the origin of the Su sisters, it is a big deal if Liu Jin's treasure is related to Sima Tai.

Jiang Feng was not too worried that he would be discovered in the capital. After all, he had not returned to the capital for ten years. His changes in the past ten years would have changed a lot in appearance. His impulsiveness and courage back then also became the mighty and reserved superior momentum of the current mighty and reserved superior.

Those who had close friends with him, or who had met him, most of the members of Huifenglou were either in Huazhou or in the semicolon of Hangzhou. After Zhang Yong's death, a group of people left the capital and went to Nanjing Suhang. In addition, the inspection case a few times ago was cleaned up. Jiang Feng is now a completely stranger in the capital.

If someone had the intention of the treasure, regardless of whether Jiang Feng would be noticed because of this, the attention of certain forces, and even the Ming court, would be transferred to Huazhou. Jiang Feng knew that the treasure left by the Bahu was too huge. It would make many people crazy about him, and it might affect Huazhou.

To be honest, Jiang Feng did not expect that the development of sea trade in this way did not suck the blood of the Ming Dynasty, but made the Ming Dynasty more prosperous. He did not expect that although sea trade was a huge profit, the industry and commerce driven by sea trade also had profits, and because of the Ming Dynasty's population, the profit was also quite large.

Jiang Feng also thought that setting up various workshops in Huazhou can be regarded as one-stop production and sales, and taking all the profits into his own hands. However, after accounting, he found that the demands of the West, Japan, South China Sea, even India and Arabia were very huge. Such a large amount of demand can only be met by the huge production capacity of so many provinces along the coast of Ming Dynasty. Ding Zhuang, who has enough production experience in those provinces, would not even be as good as the taxes they collected on the fleet at sea.

The two sides depend on each other. Huazhou is stronger and Daming is stronger. Jiang Feng is always worried that if the Ming Dynasty's attention is attracted to him because of something, if the Ming Dynasty's current financial situation is mobilized, it will not be able to compete with the small Huazhou, let alone Huazhou is not ready yet.

In Jiang Feng's heart, his family was not ready yet. If he had prepared everything, he would not come to the Ming Dynasty to investigate talents.

When it comes to Huazhou at sea, it is naturally awe of everyone. The Jiang family army is on the grassland and outside the pass, and in Malacca, it is almost synonymous with invincibility and strength. Even in the West, it is known that in addition to the Ming Empire, there is also a wealthy and powerful Duchy of Huazhou.

The Ming Dynasty court did not know, and the six ministries and three departments of the capital cabinet did not know. Their eyes were staring at the world of the Ming Dynasty and the vigorous development of industry and commerce in the Ming Dynasty. Perhaps some officials knew about the existence of Huazhou, especially the six ministries of Nanjing, and the officials of various prefectures and counties in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and had open or secret contacts with maritime merchants. Naturally, they knew that there was such a Huazhou, but these people pretended not to see it. The opening of the maritime ban was equivalent to taxing the maritime trade. The tax was equivalent to reducing profits, which was equivalent to reducing money in their pockets. No one was willing to do this kind of business that benefited the country and harmed oneself, or if you took the initiative to propose the matter to Huazhou, the emperor was furious and how many people would lose their heads. Why didn't you say it before, and watch this kind of power grow bigger.

Since Zheng He's voyage to the West, the high-level leaders of the Ming Dynasty's central central leadership have only been limited to the mainland. They cannot see anything outside the Ming Dynasty and are becoming more and more autistic.

Jiang Feng was interested in Ming Dynasty history, but he read it in a wide range of ways. He could not remember any names, but he knew a little about the general trend of the world and the regrets of some historians in later generations. Therefore, he knew how to develop overseas and vigorously develop the naval fleet.

When his subordinates were frightened and afraid that the Ming Dynasty would be detrimental to Huazhou, Jiang Feng ordered them to let go.

Sure enough, until now, the best ships in the Ming Dynasty were still cargo ships of those maritime merchants. Both navy soldiers were dilapidated and had not gone to sea for many years. The shipmakers and ship workers in various shipyards were controlled by major merchants. In fact, this matter was quite interesting. If it weren't for Jiang Feng's existence, Japanese pirates were rampant on the coast of the Ming Dynasty. However, at this time, the Japanese people who might have been Japanese pirates were all honestly doing businessmen to traffic in goods.

But now all this is going to be broken by the attention of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue?

Sima Tai, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, did not expect that he just wanted to seize the other party's property, but Jiang Feng considered it so serious.

The personnel arranged by Jiang Feng and the Sima practitioners who were in charge of the capital of Liu Shier had already taken all their actions. Sima Shishou did not expect that the personnel he arranged had lost their effect, and he was firmly stared at him. In the important part of the capital, Jiang Feng did not dare to kill people rashly. After all, this place was not Hangzhou Prefecture or Nanjing. At that time, he was a general of the Ming Dynasty. In the situation, he had various conveniences.

If you take action in the capital, you will not be able to control the next situation. Now the power of the capital is firmly in the hands of the emperor. If the case of the Minister of Revenue was destroyed and blood-slaughtered at the feet of the emperor of the capital, it would definitely be a sensation in the world. I am afraid that this result will be completely opposite to what Jiang Feng wants.

However, Datong Money House did not have such a heavy weight. Jiang Feng's guards directly mobilized the people stationed in the capital and Tianjin in Huazhou. As long as there was an order, the Datong Money House's capital semicolon would be left without any chickens and dogs.

Both sides in the capital stared at each other, but were not ready to take any action. Jiang Feng still sat around as usual every day, listening to reports from shopkeepers of various sub-colons in Northern Zhili and Shanxi, and at the same time inquiring about celebrities and scenery from all over the country. The Sima Shishu there still handled official business, giving various conveniences to Datong Money House, and suppressing Sanjiang Commercial Bank. Both sides seemed to have nothing happened and knew nothing.

At this time, the fastest message is not the fastest transmission of a flying pigeon. The external force factors such as the pigeon receives the weather and the birds of prey are too much influence. The most effective, and the fastest is the expedited speed of 800 miles and 500 miles.

The court arranged post stations between important cities. If there was an emergency report, the post station would run wildly. When the horses were exhausted, they would change horses at the post station. If they were running like this, they could achieve a very fast information transmission speed, but such a message would require a high cost.

Even the Ming Dynasty court only initiated an expedited emergency in times of war and major political changes. This is the case with the official transmission of information, let alone those private individuals.

The three people sent to Liao Town to find out the news with six horses, but they also had to stay in a hotel and rest halfway. After walking for most of the day every day, they had to think about going there to rest early. If you spend the night outside in such a cold day, you would be looking for death. Besides, there was no urging to go up the peak and it was a business trip, so these three people were not so desperate.

Sima Shilang's staff was one day behind them, but they were more attentive and had already surpassed the past on the third day. Although Sima Shilang had many servants and servants, there might be only a few people doing these things. This time, four people came out.

It is almost the end of the year and no matter who is sent out, it will not be too excited, especially when there are no other pedestrians on the road. The cold wind is whizzing, and even the horses under their crotch are listless.

Sima Shilang's subordinates walked on the road for four days and out of the staff of Datong Money House, there were only a few pedestrians scattered. When they were about to arrive in Liao Town, they were overtaken by several fast horses. The few people on the horse cursed disdainfully:

"And the damn it's not from the post station. Are you going to go so fast to eat the wind?"

After calculating the journey, they thought they could celebrate the New Year in Liaoyang. At this time, Liaoyang was the most prosperous city in the entire Liao Town. With the rise of the reclamation manor outside the pass, the city became more prosperous, and even became known as the northern Yangzhou. I thought that although Liaoyang was in a hurry to rush back, I could finally take a few days off and someone came to entertain me.

With this prospect, I was tempted there, and I felt a little more energetic. Sima Shilang's subordinates were planning to arrive in Liaoyang tonight, and shouted with the three followers behind:

"Let's go quickly, it's all about the hot kang tonight."

The people behind all agreed with laughter. There was a level not far away. In front of the level, soldiers were waving spears, signaling them to come over, and they didn't know what they were doing. The few people sent by Sima Shilang did not dismount, but rushed over directly, and the leader shouted arrogantly:

"You are blind, we are the minister of Sima, the minister of the Ministry of Personnel..."

"It's them, they're going to do it!! They're all killed!"

They didn't know that Huazhou had set up an 800-mile expedition between the capital and the pass outside the pass in the name of chariots and horses...
