Chapter 448: Progress
Dayong's businessmen, there is no one who doesn't know Zhong Siye, many people want to cooperate with him, and many people believe that cooperating with him can make money - who doesn't know that Zhong Siye controls the sea trade routes, and the daily income is small? Anything shipped to a foreign country at sea, the price is doubled exponentially, and it is difficult to make money!
What's more, now there is an extra reason to do good deeds and keep a good name, and more people are willing to pay. As soon as the news of the land reclamation spread, many wealthy businessmen came without lobbying and donated generously one by one.
Those who are close to Shengjing have personally taken a trip to show their sincerity, and those who are far away have also sent letters to express their support for joining.
Compared with the businessman's money-oriented, the nobles of the family have a lot of concerns, and Mr. Yi mainly visits these powerful people's homes, because doing business requires not only money, but also connections.
Zhong Siye's righteous daughter is the county lord of Chenshuang, and the county lord of Chenshuang is the wife of the eldest son of Duke Weiguo.
Although King Gong is now raising the status of the Weiguo Mansion very high, everyone knows that once King Gong succeeds, the Weiguo Mansion will have no way to live. And the current situation has made many people sure that King Gong will not fail.
Drawing a line with the Patriotic Government is a tacit decision for many people.
There are also a small number of people who can see that Zhong Siye wants to save the country and stop King Gong from reducing military supplies on the grounds of disaster relief.
Despite their hearts, many rich and powerful families still refused to cooperate with He Kee.
Not all the nobles of the family are looking ahead, Wenxin Marquis Mansion, Meng Guo Mansion, Jin Wangfu. Zhou Mansion, Zhennan Wangfu, Yongji Marquis Mansion, and more than a dozen other families. They all expressed their willingness to cooperate, some of them bluntly said that they did not want to miss this good opportunity to expand their family business, and some said that they were doing good deeds and accumulating virtue.
Because the number of people and money involved were too large, He Kee set up a chamber of commerce with lightning speed, all investors were members, and the top ten people who contributed the most money were jointly managed, and four respected family elders were also elected as elders. The authority to implement supervision and management.
Before the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, it had always been Mr. Yi who took Meng Sanshao and An Ruolan to be busy, and the three of them almost reached the point of forgetting to sleep and eat. Duchess Wei Guo and Wei Shao were distressed and considerate of An Ruolan, in order to let her take care of the rescue of the victims with peace of mind, the mother and daughter not only took care of the business and general affairs of Wei Guofu, but also went to help her give advice when they were free. Inventory the funds raised. The three mothers are more and more of a heart.
After the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, An Ruolan was able to have leisure, and the ten people who invested the most money were all rich in financial resources and were good at taking care of business, and with their joining, things were progressing much faster.
Half a month later, a group of victims went north to the medicinal herb factory in He Kee, and a group of victims embarked on the road to the south. All consumption on the way south is provided by the Chamber of Commerce.
Prior to this, the Chamber of Commerce sent advance troops to various parts of Jiangnan to buy land and mountains. In preparation for the reclamation, when communicating with local officials, I received 120,000 points of support and cooperation.
Everything was going in order, and on the way south, more and more victims joined the team, and those who had wandered to other areas also consciously rushed to the south of the Yangtze River.
In today's court, King Gong instructed people to play a request for disaster relief, and at the same time asked Concubine Wan to blow the pillow wind, implying that the emperor vetoed the request for disaster relief. At the same time, he sent people to monitor the movements of the victims, and even arranged for people to lurk among the victims, spreading rumors that Emperor Wanhua was mediocre, while waiting for the opportunity to incite the victims to make trouble.
When the victims were in trouble, he played to reduce military supplies for disaster relief, and everything became justified.
This is a plan to kill three birds with one stone, one can take the opportunity to reduce military supplies, the second is to make Emperor Wanhua lose the hearts of the people, and the third is to let himself gain the hearts of the people.
He not only wants to take the throne, but also ascends to the throne in accordance with the destiny of heaven!
However, what he never expected was that He Ji actually established a joint chamber of commerce and brought the victims to the south of the Yangtze River to open up wasteland and plant trees, which was clearly against him!
Seeing that the victims poured into Jiangnan, there was no longer a need for disaster relief from the imperial court, and King Gong's liver hurt.
But he still has nothing to do!
The so-called law does not blame the public, not to mention that he is still doing good deeds, he wants to win the hearts of the people, and now no one can move the Chamber of Commerce!
King Gong had to swallow this breath and began to make other plans.
He asked people to record the nobles of the family who participated in the chamber of commerce one by one, and planned to settle the accounts after ascending the throne, as for those rich merchants, because there were too many, and Dayong needed these people to pay taxes, so he didn't plan to move.
Although it was bad, it was not without good things for King Gong, such as Xiang Ye showing signs of softening.
Although he still did not hand over the talisman, Xiang Ye showed his intention to return to obedience, and after a stalemate for more than a month, this matter finally made progress, thinking that he would soon be able to command the three armies, and King Gong's mood finally improved a little.
After the plan to reduce military supplies for disaster relief failed, King Gong reined in a little, and the situation in Shengjing eased a little.
At the same time, the northwest battlefield was still in full swing, and the two armies fought without mercy.
Since that day, after the reaction of the lotus ointment, every few days, Wei Xing and Wei Guogong have to catch the mud, and recently this time he led the army to charge, Wei Xing began to pretend that his strength was not good, and he was either able to fight a tie or win by a meager advantage, and he was completely powerless.
The reason for this was because they had received news that King Gong already knew that there was a medicine for the holy water.
After that, they never received any more ointment from home, so they had to pretend to be poisoned in order to avoid King Gong's new tricks.
Fortunately, it was temporarily hidden from King Gong's ears and eyes.
Dayong has entered the winter, and the northwest is no longer as hot as an oven, but the wind and sand are greater, and it is very inconvenient to march and fight. But for the Wei family father and son, the wind and sand are not completely without benefits.
During the truce, father and son liked to do something that would go into the sandstorm after eating and whisper.
The wind and sand are charming to the eyes, whirring and blowing, forming a natural barrier, which is well avoided by people who are interested in tracking and eavesdropping.
The sun is as usual.
In the evening, a sandstorm blew, and after dinner, the father and son took a walk into the wind and sand to begin today's conversation.
Yesterday there was a victory. Wei Guogong praised: "Yes, you kid is good at acting, if you don't know that you are not poisoned." I'm going to be deceived. ”
Yesterday the Hu people called for battle under the city gate, and the guards were the vanguard to respond to the battle, and during the battle, he pretended to be unfit to drop his horse, and the Hu people's big saber slashed at his neck, but at the last moment, he tightened the reins and narrowly avoided it with half of his body hanging on the horse. He also took the opportunity to pierce the enemy's throat and won the victory by luck.
Even if he knew that it was just acting, Wei Guogong at that time still pinched a cold sweat. After all, if you take a breath a little slower, you will lose your head and be punished.
Wei Xing had no expression on his face, looked in the direction of Sheng Jing, and said, "It's not realistic." How did you fool King Gong's eyes? "If you don't have to. He didn't want to fight for his life, he had to go back to grow old with Ruolan.
After a pause, he said: "Dad's acting skills are also good, and everyone thinks you have a headache at noon." ”
Wei Guogong waved his hand modestly and said proudly: "Generally, Quan Dayong is the third, and he still can't compare to the emperor." ”
Mention Emperor Wanhua. The father and son fell silent for a moment, and Wei Xing asked, "Dad." Uncle he really ...... "He still doesn't want to believe that the wise and resourceful imperial uncle will be controlled by a woman."
Wei Guogong sighed and said, "Who knows." ”
The father and son did not continue the topic and talked about their plans for the future.
Ugin sank in the west, and the desert became very cold at night, so the father and son did not stay longer, and returned to their respective camps after returning to the barracks.
Almost as soon as he entered the door, Wei Xing sensed an unfamiliar aura, and he instantly raised his vigilance and slowly approached the screen from which the breath came. The reason why there is no noise is because there is no killing intent in this breath.
He stopped three steps behind the screen, and before he could ask, a clear and distant voice suddenly sounded, "It's quite keen." ”
The voice was a little familiar, but Wei Xing couldn't remember who it was for a while.
A white figure walked out from behind the screen, and he couldn't help but exhale in a low voice: "Less impermanence?!" ”
After shouting, he scanned the tent door vigilantly, and was relieved to see that it had not attracted the attention of others.
Shao Wuchang looked at his reaction amusedly, walked to the low table and sat down, and said, "You are not small, dare to call me by my name." ”
Wei Xing was stunned, and immediately changed his words: "Uncle Shi." ”
"Well, it's a lot more flexible than it used to be." Shao Impermanence nodded.
Wei Xing stood beside him with his hands down, and asked respectfully, "I don't know what advice my uncle has for visiting?" ”
"No advice, just to tell you something." Shao Wuchang shook his sleeves and hooked his fingers.
Wei Xing leaned over with a knowing understanding, thinking that he was going to whisper to himself, but he just threw a letter into his arms.
"Look for yourself, remember to dispose of it after reading." Shao Wuchang waved his hand and motioned for him to go away.
"......" Wei Xing was silent, this is disgusted?
Shao Wuchang told him to memorize the contents of the letter, and then planned to leave.
Wei Xing asked a lot of questions, and said, "Uncle Shi was entrusted by his father-in-law?" ”
Shao Wuchang nodded and looked back at him.
Wei Xing no longer hesitated and asked, "Why did the righteous father sell the medicinal materials to the Hu people?" He knew that it was because of the abundant medicinal materials that the Hu people were able to fight so far! ”
Unconsciously, there was anger and questioning in his tone.
The person sent to the city of Hu Ren to inquire about the news brought back the matter of the medicinal materials sold to the Hu people by his father-in-law, he didn't believe it, but the facts were in front of him, but he couldn't help but believe it!
Looking at the angry and angry young man in front of him, Shao Wuchang rolled his eyes very indecently, and said, "I just said that your brain is a lot more flexible, and you don't open up immediately, do you think that only Dayong has medicinal materials in this world?" Do you know what the price of the medicinal herbs He Jin sold to the Hu people was? ”
The guard was dumbfounded.
Shao Wuchang didn't say much, but said: "As soon as that girl is involved, your mind is not clear, if you can't figure it out, ask your father, if you still don't understand, just wait for a while and figure it out yourself." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the fluttering steps disappeared in an instant.
Wei Xing pinched the letter in his hand, annoyed by his impulsiveness just now.
In fact, he didn't suspect his father-in-law, but because many people in the army criticized his father-in-law and Ruolan because of the medicinal materials, he was so angry that he didn't choose to speak, in the end, he was still not calm enough.
Wei Xing couldn't help but sigh in frustration. (To be continued......)
