Chapter 189 They are here

To be honest, it would be a lie to say that Wei Tongnian was not moved. After all, seeking progress is the ideal of most officials, and Wei Tongnian could not avoid it. But what caused him a headache now is that he and Pang Gang are already in a deep relationship. Not to mention that they are very tacit in cooperation with one of them in the military and the other in the government. Even the ambiguous relationship between his daughter and him is enough for him to have a headache and make outsiders think a lot.

Wei Tongnian couldn't help but sigh and complained: "Oh, can't Pang Gang calm down? The matters in North Korea will naturally be handled by the imperial court. What's the idleness of you, a small general?"

"Dad, look at what you said. Although my daughter doesn't know the profound meaning of sending troops to North Korea, on the surface, this is a good thing for the court to the Ming Dynasty." Wei Manqi comforted her father.

"Hmph, good thing?" Wei Tongnian glared at his daughter and scolded: "Can things in the world be so simple to distinguish right from wrong? It is really good that the emperor told the court that you are good! I may be implicated by that second child in my life."

"Dad..." Seeing his father's depressed mood, Wei Manqi was also a little uneasy. He was about to say a few more words to comfort him, but he saw Wei Tongnian swaying his sleeves and going to rest in the bedroom...

Just as Pang Gang was busy preparing in Qingzhou, more than a dozen people were nervously meeting in a house in Hangzhou.

Sitting on the first seat was Yan Benge, the president of Hangzhou Salt Association. The young man, who was about 20 years old, was still standing behind him. All this seemed to be no different from the last meeting.

"Mr. Yan, it's almost half a month. The salt in our hands is about to be exhausted. If we don't buy the goods, we will be out of stock. You have to think of a way for everyone." Another salt merchant named Zhao asked first. Hangzhou City alone has a population of 500,000 and 600,000. If millions of people in Zhejiang are added, the amount of salt consumed every day is amazing. If the business is closed due to shortage, the loss will be too great. Seeing the white silver flowing away from them, it is tantamount to them.

"Yes, Mr. Yan, you said you wanted us to hold on for a month first, but now we can't hold on for half a month. Now Qingzhou has simply withdrawn the agency sales office. Please give us some advice, such as whether you can find a way to mobilize a batch of salt from Shaanxi and Sichuan to respond to the emergency. If you don't lend us a batch of salt from the salt warehouse first, we will return it after a while." As soon as the salt merchant named Zhao started, the person who echoed next to him immediately followed the pole.

"Well, Mr. Wang makes sense. Our small business can't stand such troubles."

Listening to the salt merchants complaining, Yan Benge was well-educated and still closed his eyes to rest, but the young man standing behind him stopped doing it. The salt merchants said it nicely, but in fact, they wanted to force their Yan family into the corner. Why do you say that from Shaanxi and Sichuan to mobilize salt from there? If you can mobilize salt from there, do you still need to mobilize salt here? If you mobilize salt from your own salt warehouse to them, it would be equivalent to releasing the blood of the Yan family?

Now the young man's youthful and energetic characteristics were exposed immediately. He said calmly: "Uncles, we agreed at the beginning. No matter what, we would have to last a month. You agreed, but why did you regret it in half a month? It is not good for people to have no faith. This is the truth that even children understand. You are all from uncles and uncles. Do you still want your nephew to teach you?"

It doesn't matter if the young man said this, but it annoyed the salt merchants. It is true that those salt merchants respect Yan's court, but they have no awe for this hairless boy.

The salt merchant named Zhao sneered bluntly: "Nephew Yan Zheng, you also know that we are your uncles and uncles. Is there any way you can interrupt when we talk to your grandfather?"

"You..." The young man named Yan Zheng's face turned red. He was refuting, but was interrupted by Yan Benge beside him. Yan Benge opened his eyes and looked at the salt merchants with a majestic look. After years of power, the salt merchants lowered their heads and dared not look at him.

Yan Benge said slowly: "I am really not considering this matter. I didn't expect that Qingzhou would do so well. I even withdrew the agency sales office stationed in Hangzhou. I heard that they have opened another agency sales office in Yangzhou. It seems that they are going to leave us alone."

"Nonsense!" The salt merchants rolled their eyes secretly and said to themselves: "You don't want other people's salt anymore. They will be polite. Anyway, there are too many places that need salt. Could it be that they will come to the door and beg you if they want it." But they dared not say this, so they had to replace it with silence.

Seeing everyone silent, Yan Benge sneered in his heart: "These guys who are jealous of money have only been short of salt for a few days, and they all jumped out impatiently. Don't you think about it. If Qingzhou's salt continues to occupy the Zhejiang market like this, will we still have a way out in the future? At most, we will become their agents. By then, the lifeline will be controlled by others. You can play whatever you want, and you won't let you get a word at all."

Although he secretly despised these colleagues, Yan Benge still kept a smile on his face: "Okay, don't worry, everyone, I have written a memorial to the court, accusing the Qingzhou Commander's Office of openly selling private salt. I believe the court will give us justice. But this matter is not my own business. I hope that after you go back, you will mobilize your own strength to continue impeaching the commander who does not understand the rules. As long as you can force him to make concessions, we can put down his salt field. At that time, all the problems will not be a problem."

"Oh, it turns out that Mr. Yan was prepared for a long time. It seems that we are just worrying about it." When the salt merchants heard this, they immediately felt relieved. Yan Benge had many connections in the court. Since he had already mobilized his strength to impeach the General Dingyuan in Qingzhou, now he just needs to follow behind him and shake the flag and shout, so why not do it?

So the salt merchants who were very calm in their hearts collectively expressed that they must be closely surrounded by Mr. Yan and unswervingly persist in the salt ban movement. They must defeat the hateful General Dingyuan and must bring them to their arms to the salt field opened in Qingzhou.

After the salt merchants said goodbye, Yan Benge's face, who had a smile on his face, became serious again. He took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Zheng beside him: "Zheng'er, you should go to the capital immediately and go to Lord Qian Qian's place. He handed the letter written by his grandfather last night to Lord Qian. Please make sure to launch Qingliu to impeach the commander of Qingzhou as soon as possible. Remember, the speed must be fast, otherwise even if I can suppress it for a while, those fence-bearers who have milk and mother will definitely turn to Qingzhou."

"Grandpa, aren't you waiting for the four brothers of the Wang family to come back? Doing so now is to tear apart from the commander in Qingzhou." Yan Zheng asked in surprise.

"The four brothers of the Wang family have already been broken in Erlong Mountain!" Yan Benge's face became even more gloomy. "I didn't expect that Pang Gang would actually send thousands of soldiers to guard the foot of Erlong Mountain day and night, and they also put many hunting dogs there. The four brothers of the Wang family were broken in that way. Since we can't get the secret of refining salt from secretly, we should rob it openly. Lord Qian Qianyi is one of the leaders of our Donglin Party. As long as he mobilizes the rumors to write letters in succession in the court, I think the position of the Qingzhou commander will be replaced soon!"

"Yes!" Yan Zheng quickly took the letter and put it carefully in his arms. He knew that the matter was of great importance, otherwise his grandfather would not have sent him to the capital in person.

Seeing that his grandson was ready, Yan Benge closed his eyes slightly and said, "Okay, remember that if Pang Gang is moved down, we must replace the successor with our own people. Otherwise, if the Qingzhou commander's position is in the hands of others, we will be just making wedding clothes for others for nothing."

"Yes... grandson remembers grandpa's teachings, grandson is here!"

Listening to the sound of footsteps disappearing outside the door, Yan Benge slowly opened his eyes and murmured: "The secret of refining refined salt must be in my hands. Pang Gang, don't blame me for being cruel. Who made you block my wealth? Qingzhou Commander is going to make a decision..."

Although he didn't know that there were countless hands thinking about reaching his hand to his territory, Pang Gang was still working hard to strengthen his strength. As of mid-August, the three thousand new recruits from Lingshan Guard had finally ended the three-month recruitment period, so Pang Gang had 8,500 soldiers in his hands. If he added Laizhou, Dengzhou had not completed training and 1,000 fishermen who were recruited to be regarded as a navy. Pang Gang, who had a total of more than 16,000 troops, had already been considered a local powerhouse on this land in Shandong.

Today, Pang Gangzheng led several subordinates to stand at the completed Wanghai Castle pier and looked into the distance. Behind him were Huayan, Dazhuang, Wang Zhi and other subordinates.

"When you have experienced in China, do you think the North Korean who reported the news are lying to us? Why haven't they been seen after so long?" Dazhuang, who was honest and obedient, asked Huayan beside him.

Huayan answered affirmatively: "No! What's the benefit of them lying us? Besides, you don't know the nature of our adults, and you dare to lie to him! How brave would you have to?"

"Well, that's hard to say, those Koreans......Hey... they are here!" Before he finished speaking, Dazhuang pointed to the distance and shouted excitedly. As his fingertips looked, several small black dots were quickly speeding towards him......
