Chapter 196: Killing Chickens and Monkeys (I)

Louwailou is the most famous place in Hangzhou, integrating the functions of green building, restaurant, inn and so on, and belongs to the rich people's treasury.

Today, several wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou feast Dongfang Ping in the outer building.

"Langzhong, the secret report that the Baiqi Division just shared with us shows that there is a ship ready to go to sea this afternoon, and the goods have been loaded overnight yesterday."

Lu Quanquan stood in front of Dongfang Ping with a blue face, feeling that these wealthy businessmen in Hangzhou did not take the city company in their eyes at all, or did they think that they could get Dongfang Ping, the head of the Hangzhou City Ship Division, today?

"Hmph, it seems that what the prince said is really right, to deal with these rich businessmen who are begging for a living at sea, it is meaningless to salute first and then soldier, so you should directly kill the chickens and monkeys, and let them know that the city is not easy to mess with."

Dongfang Ping sneered, feeling that he must not live up to the trust of the prince, and must teach these maritime merchants a cruel lesson, let them know that the city ship division is not so easy to mess with, and if they dare to challenge the authority of the city ship division, there is only one end!

"Huh? Did the prince have already made arrangements? ”

Lu Quan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a snickering joy swelled in his heart.

"The prince is strategizing, what kind of virtue these maritime merchants are, I have long expected it. This time it was the Ma Biao himself who wanted to hit the muzzle of the gun, so I can't blame me. Otherwise, I'll really have to wonder who to cut on. ”

Dongfang Ping thought of Li Kuan's instructions at the beginning, and felt that the current situation could be regarded as not embarrassing for himself.

Otherwise, according to the prince's meaning, even if no one takes the initiative to jump out, he will find fault with a maritime merchant and kill him as a "chicken".

This kind of ability to take the initiative to find trouble, Dongfang Ping is not very good at it, he was worried before, but now it seems that he doesn't have to worry anymore.

"Lang Zhong, are we going to make a move now? Otherwise, when they go to sea, they will have no choice. ”

"Who said there was no way to take them when they went to sea?" Dongfang Ping's face showed a mysterious smile, "Let's go, come with me to the banquet and see if this good show is exciting." ”

……

In the sea area about ten miles south of the sea off the Hangzhou wharf, two ships with a very special appearance are cruising without hurry, as if they are not in a hurry.

"Qiwa, is there any movement?"

Zhou Fu stood on the deck, looked up and shouted at Yang Qiwa at the top of the mast.

"Captain, not for the time being. Don't worry, if there are ships passing by within a radius of five miles, they will definitely not be able to escape my sharp eyes. ”

Yang Qiwa stuffed a piece of whale jerky into her mouth and chewed it slowly while answering Zhou Fu's question.

has been floating on the sea for a long time, how to pass the boring time, Yang Qiwa also practiced her own experience.

"Get the boat closer to the port of Hangzhou, don't let these maritime merchants escape, otherwise I won't have the face to see the prince on Tuesday." On Tuesday, Fu yelled at the surrounding sailors.

Sometimes the wind and waves at sea are relatively strong, and if you speak too quietly, you may not be able to hear it if you stand a little farther away.

This time, he gave up a trip to the Japanese trade and specially drove two newly-built, heavily armed clippers to Hangzhou.

Of course, these gases are not towards Li Kuan, but those maritime merchants who dare to provoke the city.

A few days ago, Zhou Zhou Fu had already docked at an unmanned wharf near Hangzhou, and had a brief communication with Dongfang Ping, knowing what the two warships he led during this time were going to do.

……

The outer buildings of the building are all chartered today.

Although only a table on the third floor of one of the buildings was actually used, how could it show the sincerity of the crowd if it didn't?

The servants of the Ma family, the Yu family and other four major maritime merchants also came over early in the morning to arrange today's reception.

In the city, from the point of view of level, it is the same grade as the history of Hangzhou Thorn.

Although everyone knows that the same rank does not equal the same rights, it is like the same department-level cadre in later generations, who is responsible for archives and finances, and the security is not the same.

However, no matter how different the rights are, the level of the people is there, there are still many ways to really trouble you.

After all, the county officials are not as good as the current management.

"Langzhong, this is the building outside the building."

Dongfang Ping took Lu Quan and a few guards and stepped on time to come to the outer building.

The buildings in the south of the Yangtze River are much richer than those in Guanzhong, and the buildings outside the building are also from the hands of famous artists, just standing at the door, you can feel the extraordinary here.

"Let's go, then let's go see how they want to play."

Dongfang Ping showed a playful smile and raised his feet into the outer building.

No one deliberately stumbled Dongfang Ping at the door, and no one stupidly gave him a horse.

The first meeting between the two groups was very harmonious, making people feel as if they had been friends for many years.

"I have heard for a long time that Dongfang Langzhong is young and promising, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation."

Ma Biao, a maritime businessman, socializes a lot with the officials of Hangzhou Mansion on weekdays, and when it comes to talking about the scene, he is naturally much stronger than Dongfang Ping.

However, in the process of falling into the middle of the Dongfang Pingjia Road, it can be regarded as seeing the warmth and coldness of the world, and the ability to deal with people is actually not bad.

If he is really a nerd who only knows arithmetic, Li Kuan is not worried about letting him come to Hangzhou.

Don't look at the city as a technical yamen, the requirements for arithmetic are relatively high, but after all, it is a yamen.

"Several of the big names can be said to be thunderous in Hangzhou City, and the official has just arrived in your place, and he will have to rely on the support of everyone in the future."

After some greetings, the topic slowly shifted to the city.

"Dongfang Langzhong, don't you know, those of us who go to sea have a hard time, but whenever we encounter a storm or pirates, not only do we get nothing, but we also put people and ships in it."

"Yes, this sea is vast, and I can't see the land for ten days and a half months.

"When outsiders look at us maritime merchants, they think that how much money they make, but in fact, they make hard money, but if there is another way to live, who wants to go to sea?"

After three rounds of drinking, the style of the banquet here has changed, and several maritime merchants have complained there, saying that everyone actually has no money, and it is not a good thing to go to sea.

Dongfang Ping watched these maritime merchants performing, and a smile appeared on his face that met social expectations.

Do you really think that you are a scholar who has just come out of the country, and you don't understand anything?

"Everyone, the prince also pities the hard work of all the maritime merchants going to sea, so he specially asks His Majesty to set up the City Governor Mansion to govern the cities and ships in all parts of the world, in order to allow everyone to go to sea in a more standardized way and avoid meaningless competition."

"Dongfang Langzhong, we naturally know about the prince's kindness, but there are special local circumstances in this place, so please bear with me when the time comes."

"Yes, yes, a few of us have chartered a courtyard in the outer building for a long time, and there are Oiran from the outer building to serve us, and please don't be polite to us in Dongfang Langzhong."

"Well said, everything is easy to say!"

Dongfang Ping's reaction made Ma Biao and the others fall a stone in their hearts, and at the same time, they also felt: The world is as black as a crow!
