In some places, there are worlds.

The world is turbulent and uncontrollable. Some people support it, and some people oppose it.

When Wang Beicheng was thinking about "submission", the two leaders of the Shanshan Gang and Hui Gang finally sat down quietly and started negotiations.

The representative of the Shanshan Gang is the Zhou family, and the Hui Gang is the Chen family.

Both of them are middle-aged fat men. The difference is that one is gentle on the surface, just like one is old and the other is gloomy with his eyes, and he always emits dangerous light.

"You should know what happened to the governor's yamen today, right?" The fat man from the Chen family said in a sinister way.

The fat man from the Shanxi Gang Zhou family smiled and said, "I know." He didn't add a word.

Fatty Chen stared at Fatty Zhou, unable to see what he thought in his heart from his face, and sneered: "Since you know, can you still sit still? Can your Shanxi Gang be able to defeat our Hui Gang?"

Fatty Zhou was still Maitreya Buddha’s smile and said, “I can sit still, Brother Chen, you are very uneasy…”

Fatty Chen narrowed his eyes and became more and more sinister, saying, "I can't sit still because I know it's more! I heard... the governor's yamen is going to establish a tax bureau, and the salt department in it... will not be handed over to our Hui Gang, nor will it be handed over to you Shanshan Gang!"

Fatty Zhou's smile froze. The fat man took a cup of tea with his right hand, lowered his head to drink the tea, and was silent.

The power of the Shanshan Gang and the Hui Gang is not only economically, but also reflected in the official position. For example, the prefect of Suzhou Bi Zikang was a member of the Hui Gang, and the prefect of Yangzhou Cao Bushan was a member of the Shanshan Gang. Now the court has reformed the tax system and stripped the salt affairs from the local area. The power of the local prefect and even the governor's yamen will be greatly reduced.

This is undoubtedly a huge damage to them!

Fatty Chen saw that Fatty Zhou stopped talking, sneered and said, "I also heard that the court will kick most of the salt merchants out of this time, including the Shanshan Gang and the Hui Gang! The attitude is firm and cannot be changed!"

Fatty Zhou frowned, stopped laughing, took a sip of tea, and said quietly for a while: "You called me over, don't you just want to laugh at me, right?"

A sharp look appeared on Fat Chen's face and said, "I won't talk nonsense to you. The court's new policy is to rush us away! We must do something to make the court change our minds!"

Fatty Zhou groped in the teacup in his hand, and there was no expression on his face, and said, "What do you want to do?"

Fatty Chen knew that this old rival was moved at first sight and said bluntly: "Our two companies have controlled the salt industry for many years, and the entire Ming Dynasty cannot do without us. It is better for us to do something to make Nanzhili lack salt. Not much. Ten days and half a month are enough to make the governor's yamen bow down!"

Fatty Zhou listened to Fatty Chen's words and suddenly smiled on his face: "I'm afraid, you've found me more than just me, right?"

Fat Chen's face became more and more sinister, and he said, "Yes, you are the last person I found. As long as you agree, from tonight, the entire Nanzhili will fall into silence!"

The fat man Zhou's face leaped, and a glimmer appeared in his eyes.

He did not doubt that Fatty Chen said that the Salt Gang had a great influence in Nanzhili, and there were many people who were dissatisfied with the new policy. With a little connection, countless people joined, which easily caused Nanzhili to fall into 'silence'!

But, in this way, it will definitely anger the governor's yamen and the court. Can they really achieve their goals? What if the court attacks them regardless of everything?

Suddenly, Fatty Zhou's heart moved and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid this is not your idea, right?" After all, they are just businessmen. They don't have the courage to do such things unless there is someone behind them!

Fatty Chen smiled, his eyes were proud, and he said, "Wu!"

Fatty Zhou was stunned at first, then opened his eyes, then calmly looked, lowered his head, and thought indifferently.

He has been in Yingtian Prefecture for many years, coordinated the Lianghuai Salt Industry and remembered the changes in the government. He suddenly thought of what the word "Wu" in Fatty Chen's mouth refers to the Wu family!

The Wu family is very special. They are a large family in Jiangnan and a high-ranking official for generations, especially in Nanzhili. In the three generations, they were governors for two generations, and in the first generation, they became the Minister of Personnel!

He has the reputation of "Three Generations Second-Class, Two Generations Three Hanlins". In Nanzhili, he can be said to be highly respected and has a demeanor.

In addition, this branch of this family has also made great achievements in business, especially in the third year of the Tianqi period, silk, tea, porcelain, private salt, etc., and the family's wealth is incredible. Outsiders say, "The Wu family will last for ten years."

This shows how outstanding the Wu family is in the officialdom and business.

However, the Wu family has gradually declined since Chongzhen. First, the Donglin Party gradually lost its power. A governor of the Wu family was involved and dismissed from office. Then the Nanzhili was reorganized. The Minister of Personnel was seized, and then the Governor's Office was established. Another governor finally stood opposite Zhu Xu and was driven back to his hometown.

This is official, and the Wu family gradually lost power and support.

At the same time, the salt, tea and other reforms led by Zhu Xu have directly touched the core interests of the Wu family. With the rise of the Shanshan Gang and Hui Gang, the Wu family is now in a slump.

In terms of economy, the Wu family has also suffered a heavy blow!

In the economy and official career, the Wu family has been silent for a long time.

Fatty Zhou passed the matter in his heart, frowned and his face was as deep as water.

If the Wu family was urging this matter behind the scenes, it would not be just trying to change the salt administration of the court. It was clearly because the Wu family was dissatisfied with the new policy and wanted to give the court a little color, or had deeper plans.

Even if the court compromises, it may not be impossible to settle the score later. The Wu family is a big family and the court is afraid of not doing anything, but small vendors like them may not care. If the court takes revenge...

"Okay!" Fatty Zhou squeezed a word out of his mouth.

Fat Chen didn't think much and laughed loudly: "Okay, there will be no merchants or government officials in Nanzhili tomorrow, and the people will be frightened, and the world will be in chaos. It depends on what the governor's yamen will do!"

Fatty Zhou looked motionless, and responded to a few words and left on the grounds of "convening the convener".

Fatty Chen didn't care and continued to contact others.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the figures are floating.

There are many figures in Nanzhili, and countless conspiracies and tricks are quietly appearing, covering them silently.

Governor's Office.

Fang Kongshao is very troubled now. There are mountains of documents in front of him. None of them are easy to deal with, but he can't handle them now.

The Governor's Office was not completely constructed. He was the only governor who was promoted temporarily. Most of the power was not yet grasped. At the same time, the prefects in various places were not even considered to be lip service and directly opposed the new policy. This made it difficult for him to reform and do something.

The Governor's Office and he was isolated!

Or it wasn't that he was isolated.

Recently, he has been thinking about the reforms after Zhu Xu ascended the throne. The deepest thing he realized is that when the emperor reformed, he had a group of people under his command to support him and fought to the death, but he was alone!

The chief clerk was also worried. He stood up from a distance, poured a cup of tea, handed it to Fang Kongshao, and comforted him, "Sir, don't worry too much. Lord Xu has come from Suzhou and will arrive tomorrow. For other new candidates for political participation and senatorial candidates, the cabinet should agree quickly. Feige's letter will arrive the day after tomorrow, and everything will go smoothly by then..."

Huang Liji was dismissed and implicated many people. Even if there was no one, Fang Kongshao did not dare to use Huang Liji's people, so he drafted a new list and submitted it to the cabinet for approval.

Fang Kongshao took the teacup, sighed lightly, and said, "The so-called "not being in charge of the family does not know that the firewood and rice are expensive. The 'new policy' in Nanzhili is to overcome all obstacles and have no progress. This official has deeply failed the emperor's trust..."

The chief clerk pondered and said, "Sir, if you use some intense means, the emperor and the cabinet will not know what they will think?"

Fang Kongshao put down the teacup, sat up straight, and said with bright eyes: "I don't care about these things anymore. Once the cabinet edict arrives the day after tomorrow, not only the governor's yamen, but also the prefects in various places should change them. Any force that blocks the reform of Southern Zhili will not be ruthless!"

The chief clerk moved his heart and immediately walked closer: "Does sir want to take advantage of what's outside?"

Fang Kongshao snorted coldly and said, "They really think I am blind, bold and act recklessly! I have contacted Governor Fu before. This Governor can mobilize the troops of the Governor's Office at any time to suppress all criminals!"

The chief clerk thought something and did not speak out.

The situation in Nanzhili is extremely complicated, everyone has a plan and is very exquisite.

It is too early to say who wins and who loses.
