Chapter 121: Ascending
The Liu Mansion in Lin'an City, who is in charge of the town is nominally Jing Niang, but in fact it is Yang Xingqian, this time the propaganda activities, the Liu Mansion family members are dispatched, plus more than 200 personal soldiers, every corner of Lin'an City has never fallen. In less than a day, this matter has been spread and the streets have heard about it.
"Daddy, have you ever heard of it, in the city"
In the royal house of Baominfang, Wang Gongzi came to the study with a piece of paper in a hurry, and before he finished a sentence, he saw his father holding the same piece of paper in a daze, and he didn't even hear his words with a focused expression.
"That's not the case." Wang Entropy muttered to himself, raised his head and looked at his son, but he was not as picky as usual.
"It turns out that my father also got it, and his son came from the east of the city, and there were people from the Liu family at every intersection and gate along the way, no matter who wanted it. The child ordered someone to bring one, at a glance I don't know where it came from, the skin is snow-white and smooth like a mirror, the font is neat and abnormal, as if it was carved, look like this, the Liu family doesn't know how many pieces have been scattered this day. ”
Listening to his son's words, Wang Entropy confirmed his judgment, such a good paper, Liu Jiahun is not the same thing, what does it mean? They are not in a hurry to use the money, then this matter has a deep meaning, with their family background, what is the amount of money they are punished, and they make such a big fuss, do they want to find something to do for the officials? Wang Entropy was puzzled.
Like those people, he himself was reprimanded, of course, the wording was still merciful, after all, he was the emperor Zaisuke. Linked to this, he vaguely felt that it had something to do with it.
"You are in the city, have you heard any movement in the Xie Mansion?"
Xie Tang was scolded by the Empress Dowager, and he found out on the same day, everyone knew that this was a move to "kill chickens and set an example for monkeys", and those clan relatives were not good to be sent on the spot, so it could be regarded as a warning.
"Yes, I was about to talk about it, but now it is no longer the Liu family, the Xie family and the two royal mansions also announced that they would participate in the auction on the same day, and each family took out some houses and acres of land deeds and the like."
"Oh, that's the case?" Wang Entropy asked in surprise.
"It is reported that Xie Zhenfu went out that night and went to King Rong's mansion, and on the second day, King Rong's mansion governor Shi visited Xie's mansion."
He knew that this was because there was a classmate who worked as a secretary in King Rong's Mansion, and these two families moved around a lot on weekdays, and he didn't think it was abnormal, but it was not ordinary in Wang Entropy's ears.
This thing is full of strangeness, several families are not ordinary people, they act in unison, it can only mean that something happened in it, and as soon as the matter was connected, Wang Entropy felt something.
"Has this year's Bong Ying arrived in the south?" His question was a little marginal, which made Wang Gongzi slightly stunned.
"Normally, it will be the end of August at the earliest, but I'm afraid it hasn't started yet."
Of course Wang Gongzi knows what he said, this is the largest income in the house, far more than Wang Entropy's own job, his family is not in a hurry to use the money now, and his father's question made him not understand very well.
"Go and urge it personally, no matter where you should come out first, remember to exchange it for gold and silver, and don't want anything else."
The next instruction made him even more confused, and promised to go out, Wang Gongzi was still confused, and his father seemed to be the same as those people in the city, and suddenly fell in love with Yinqian, but why is this?
The same question also appeared in Xie Shi's mind, there was such a big thing in the capital, and there was no need for her to order, and the report of the Imperial City Division was sent to the Ciyun Hall early. When she couldn't decide whether to summon someone into the palace, her nephew asked to see her outside the palace gate.
"Chen Xie Tang pays a visit to the Empress Dowager, and may the saint be blessed with peace and security."
Xie Tang, who was dressed in court clothes, made a big salute in a proper manner, but he didn't hear the call for a long time, he simply raised his head himself, and what he saw was his aunt's smiling face.
"And your end to this?" The nephew uses official etiquette instead of family etiquette, and Xie still doesn't understand.
"Exactly, in addition to the nephew, there are also King Rong's Mansion, King Xiu's Mansion and several clansmen, and of course, the Ye family."
Xie Tang rarely recognized it directly, which made Xie a little surprised, and the people he mentioned made her expression stern.
"You yourself go and guard the gate of the temple and drive out all the idlers."
Xie Shi called the female official of her cronies and gave her an order, she knew that those attendants had some communication with the outside, and they usually turned a blind eye, but what her nephew was going to say next made her instinctively feel unusual.
"Alright, let's talk about something." After a while, Xie spoke.
"If you go back to your aunt, the nephews do have something to report, but this matter is a bit complicated, and I ask my aunt to let my nephew have some time to talk about it in detail."
He didn't have that plan with him, and the matter was not yet a foregone conclusion, so he didn't want to leak it out so early, at least to get the acquiescence of the empress dowager in front of him.
Because he was afraid that it would be too complicated to understand, Xie Tang tried his best to say it in plain language, Rao is so, Xie Shi was also dizzy when he heard it, such a large number, even the annual income of the treasury is far less, and these people actually want to raise it in this Jingshi!
"It's okay for anything else, you sue the old man, how much are you going to hand over to the imperial court?" Xie Shi's perspective was different from theirs, she knew very well the purpose of Xie Tang's entry into the palace, but the number was too big, and she couldn't suppress it at all.
"The nephews are all real money and silver that they have taken out, and they have not used a penny of official money, and everything they have done is at sea, and they have not disturbed the people, why does the court not let it go?"
Xie Tang looked unconvinced, in his heart, this was just a pure business behavior, he came to ventilate his aunt in advance so that she would not realize it later, but he didn't expect to think about those things, the government goose plucking is also aimed at ordinary people, but what are they? Relatives of the emperor, who would be so bold.
"Stupid, Liu Yu came up with this method." Xie Shi took the report sent by the Imperial City Division, and shook his head while patting the bookcase.
"How did my aunt know that it was his idea?" Xie Tang saw that it was exposed, and he didn't dare to argue.
"If he had been here, he wouldn't have said what you just said." Xie sighed, the imperial court has no money now, you came so suddenly to make a big deal, or real money, who is not red-eyed?
Of course, the imperial court has no reason to interfere in commerce, but it is really difficult, where can it be found, and the prince of the Great Song Dynasty has no example of domineering, it is really annoying, who will those literati be afraid of?
"That's it, I don't think you can be the master, go back and discuss with them, think of a proper way, don't discuss things at that time, if that's the case, it's difficult for the old body to do."
Xie Tang had no choice but to resign from the palace, he didn't know if this trip had happened, it seemed that his aunt didn't blame the matter itself, but she was worried that she wouldn't be able to end it in the end.
After walking out of the Hening Gate, he shook his head at the sky, at such a critical time, the initiator of Liu Yu, who was born partially, disappeared again, otherwise he should have come to run this trip, who called his aunt so important? Everything has to be brought up and praised.
Liu Yu, who was also shot while lying down, is now in Qiongzhou, thousands of miles away, on the edge of the water village of the Inspection Department of the "Thanksgiving Gate", and the ships parked in the harbor are pulling anchors and setting sail to start a day's maritime patrol.
"Do you estimate that if this waterway is blocked, it will be possible to inspect the existing ships of the Division?"
Liu Yu stood on the beach with Yang Fei, watching the ships leave the port until there was only the last one left in the village, which was Yang Fei's ship.
"Block the entire waterway?" Yang Fei thought that there was something wrong with his ears, so he couldn't help but ask more.
"Exactly, this waterway is the only place for the merchants to pass through to the coast of the Great Song Dynasty, if you want to block it with the ships in your hands and not allow a single Fan boat to cross the border, can you do it?"
Liu Yu stared straight into his eyes, pointed to the Qiongzhou Strait not far away and said clearly, Yang Fei was stunned after hearing this, he turned around mechanically, staring at the sea and muttering.
"How difficult is Hugh to think about, the narrowest part of this waterway is only more than 30 miles, the widest part is only more than 100 miles, and the length is less than 200 miles, you don't need to fortify everywhere, as long as you choke your throat, you can do it, is this official wrong?"
Of course, he had done his homework beforehand, and knowing the general situation here, Yang Fei seemed to confirm whether he was serious or not, gestured towards that side, and then turned around.
"Wait to listen to the words of the lower officials, according to what you said, it is not difficult to block the waterways, but if the boats do not listen, does the lower officials have the right to attack?" It is a taboo for a military general to provoke without permission, and he has to have more eyes.
"Just fight to the death, there are official documents of the Hai Division, do you want to read them now?" Seeing that he was worried about this, Liu Yu took out a letter from his arms, and at first glance it was Hai Si's official letter, with a complete fire paint.
"Since it is ordered by Hai Si, the lower officials will naturally obey it." Yang Fei didn't go to answer the letter, but gave a salute.
"It's just that there is one more point, once the boat is hijacked, what will the lower officials do with them?"
"Don't be embarrassed, just order them to follow you to Qiongzhou City, people are also here to do business, as long as they are not stubborn, they are all guests of our Great Song Dynasty."
The government power of this time and space is still very strong, and it is impossible for ordinary businessmen to fight by force, I believe that as long as they don't run in vain, it is not a problem to do business anywhere, not to mention that he is still a commodity that is not available elsewhere.
As for how to block it specifically, he couldn't interject, with Yang Fei's ability, I believe that there will be a solution, looking at his expression, it seems that there is still some difficulty.
"It's just a matter of going elsewhere, if you can build some towers in these places and order someone to look at them, the lower officials will be more sure."
Yang Fei pointed to the coast in the distance and said, his men only have ten big boats, plus some small boats, even if they are divided into several teams, there are always omissions, he has to make more preparations, and he does not dare to boast about the sea.
"Well, I'll go and talk to Jiang Zhaofu, it shouldn't be a big problem." Liu Yu understood at a glance that the combination of land and sea, coupled with his black technology, telescopes and walkie-talkies, would have no problem building a naval blockade line.
"Since this is the case, the subordinate will accept this order, and he should do his best to live up to the trust." Yang Fei solemnly bowed, and then took the letter.
"I believe in you." Liu Yu patted his armor and said.
"Do you know where Zeng Shilang is now?"
The matter here is over, he turned to ask about the city of the city, the new Qiongzhou City of the city of the director Zeng Wei has already left Beijing, should have arrived.
"I haven't seen anyone before, but Xia Guan heard that he has been in the place, and it seems that he has gone to the area of Lingao County at present."
Yang Fei shook his head and said, how could he climb to such a high civil official with his grade, but it was precisely because of this that this person's whereabouts were not a secret. R1058
