Haiqing Pavilion was much quieter.

The figure of one million taels is just as Geng Jiang said, this is an astronomical amount that can be comforted to death even if he breaks his legs for the rest of his life.

"You can't make this money just by selling slaves."

It was Gu Yu, the president of the Chamber of Commerce, who broke the silence, and he was not completely carried away by this number: "If Geng Sicheng wants to cover all the slave and maid businesses along the coast, then you need a lot of maids, and the price of selling more is bound to be impossible, one million taels, at least thousands or even tens of thousands of people need to be sold, a year, where can I give you this number?" ”

"Gu will be in the mall for a long time, and the natural analysis is good."

Seeing that he didn't bluff Gu Yu, this Geng Jiang was still a confident style, and he chuckled.

"Selling slaves is just one of the businesses, Geng just said that the boundary of Quanzhou is different from the inland, and whoever controls the sea here is the real lord of Quanzhou.

And now in our Haiqing Pavilion, the Sailor Yamen, the Imperial Merchants Branch and Geng's Shipping Division, the three major maritime directors of the Yamen have gathered, to put it bluntly, this room is the entire Quanzhou!

Let's join forces, the business of sea trade can be as big as you want, President Gu, the money you earn must be handed over after all, and the sailor yamen can't make money, so dozens of taels of silver every year, and Geng's shipping department approves hundreds of thousands of taels of goods a day, but not a penny goes into my Geng's pocket.

Looking at it this way, we are all working for the imperial court, watching this white silver pass in front of us and next to our pockets, I don't know what you two think, Geng's heart hurts. ”

Gu Yu understood that Geng Jiang was planning to use his power for personal gain!

He didn't rush to make a statement, but looked at Lu Dahu and found that the latter's face was already flushed with excitement, and his eyes were exuding a desire for wealth all the time.

"I understand what Geng Sicheng meant."

Standing up, Gu Yu glanced at the two of them: "You want your brother's head, General Lu, don't blame me for pouring cold water on you, turning the Sailor Yamen into a tool for making money, it was found, but it will be full of disasters." ”

Turning the imperial court into a tool for his own private wealth grabbing, this Geng Jiang is simply crazy.

Li Lingzhi is dizzy, and the wealth flowing back and forth in Quanzhou is too much, so much that it is dazzling, and so much that people are willing to die for money.

"There is no one in the court, how big can this official be?"

Geng Jiang wiped the corners of his mouth and said bewildermently: "Could it be that President Gu still has any ambitions to take revenge on the Imperial Merchants?" Don't blame your brother for speaking ugly, as long as you don't have the surname Zhu, you won't be able to squeeze into the high-level position of the Imperial Chamber of Commerce in your life.

The money earned every year must be taken to the Zongren Mansion to let the group of princes who do nothing 4466 points be wiped out, you can't get any of them, you can only keep a few hundred taels of wages a year, this money runs to Hebei and is barely a rich man, in Quanzhou, in this harbor restaurant, even a night of consumption can not afford it. ”

After a pause, Geng Jiang turned his head to look at Lu Dahu again: "General Lu is a commander, a military general of the fourth grade, and his salary for a year is only two hundred and eighty taels. ”

Lu Dahu was so angry by what he said, nodded again and again, and slammed the table with his fists: "Who doesn't say it, this damn world is beaten down by us with knives, why should a good life let a group of businessmen with fat stomachs enjoy it all with their mouths?"

Don't let us be soldiers in business, and don't let us soldiers leave the barracks at will, what kind of bullshit is this! ”

Gu Yu's eyes narrowed.

He had crossed paths with this Geng Jiang a few times before, but he never saw that this Geng Jiang still had this demagogic ability.

What he didn't expect was that the desire in Geng Jiang's heart was so big.

The chief officer of the dignified shipping department, a high-ranking position, it stands to reason that he has no worries about food and clothing in this life, he wants to have face, and he wants to have a face, and everyone respects him for three points, and he is greedy for something, and he even does not hesitate to put his head into it.

"President Gu will take a stand."

Geng Jiang picked up two wine glasses for a long time, walked to Gu Yu's side and handed them over: "Quanzhou, this territory, just a word for you, you nod, everything is easy to do." Whether the thousands of officers and soldiers under General Lu and the hundreds of inspectors of our shipping department can have a full meal, it all depends on what you mean, and you can't do it to smash people's jobs. ”

"Are you scaring me?"

Smashing people's jobs and cutting off people's financial routes is like killing parents.

Gu Yu understood the meaning of Geng Jiang's words, this was to intimidate him.

"Is it that I don't agree, I can't get out of this Haiqing Pavilion today?"

Geng Jiang hurriedly smiled and waved his hand, it was a lot of cold and cold smiles, and the threat was already obvious.

His hole cards and inner thoughts have been revealed, and if Gu Yu doesn't give him an accurate answer, he won't let go of his heart.

The president of the Imperial Merchants Branch, as long as he is not surnamed Zhu, what is there to be afraid of?

The atmosphere in Haiqing Pavilion was a little depressed and solemn, Gu Yu had not yet spoken, and this door was rudely pushed open for the third time.

"What the fuck are you doing today, aren't you polite!"

Lu Dahu exploded his lungs with a lot of air, and then he saw seven or eight people walking in, and one of them was stunned with a wine glass in his hand.

This person is very popular, looks handsome, and has a slightly dark complexion, but with the angular facial features, it adds three points of masculinity, and what makes Lu Dahu and Geng Jiang's hearts tighten.

This man has no beard under his chin!

Eunuch!

And behind this person, there are seven or eight warriors with helmets and armor, each with a sword at his waist, and all of them are heroic.

When did this strange configuration appear in the boundary of Quanzhou?

The eunuch did not bring brocade guards and Xichang fans, and changed to lead the troops.

"What does that mean?"

The young and sturdy handsome eunuch walked to Gu Yu's side with a wine glass: "Brother, the atmosphere in your room is a little wrong, why does it feel like the execution ground for me to toast here." ”

This is the friend Gu Yu said earlier who came back from overseas, the general?

Lu Dahu and Geng Jiang's hearts beat wildly, which eunuch can be a general!

"Tell me about it."

At this time, Gu Yu instantly became steady, a bright smile bloomed on his face, and he introduced the eunuch next to him to Geng Jiang and the others.

"This is the eunuch of the Maritime Chief of the Imperial Division, the title of Governor of Jinghai, Zheng He!"

The wine glasses in the hands of Geng Jiang and Lu Dahu fell to the ground with a snap.

The eunuch of the maritime chief of the Imperial Division, can you still add the title of Governor of the Second Rank?

This Zheng He, what a big identity.

"The last general, the commander of the Quanzhou Naval Division, Lu Dahu, has seen the governor of the capital."

Ignoring the spilled wine on his body, Lu Dahu hurriedly walked out of his seat and bowed to Zheng He.

Geng Jiang didn't move, he was from the Shipping Division, and he was not in the same system as the army, so he didn't have to be courteous even if he was at a different level.

"You two seem to be people with no eyes, and you don't recognize the identity of this brother next to me."

The solemn tone when Gu Yu introduced himself, combined with the atmosphere when Fang Cai entered the room, Zheng He keenly noticed that something was wrong, so he turned around with a smile and saluted Gu Yu.

"Our Zheng He, I have seen Uncle Anding, Uncle Guo."

Uncle Guo, Uncle Anding?

Concubine Jing's maiden brother!

If it is said that the identity of Zheng He has already made the two of them dumbfounded, then the identity of Gu Yu at this time makes them completely feel like a catastrophe is coming!

The boundary of Quanzhou is really shallow and there are many big brothers.

Who would have thought that the president of the Imperial Merchants Branch would be the royal relative of Tie Porcelain and the brother of the noble concubine.

"Country... Uncle Guo. ”

Geng Jiang couldn't say all the trembling words, and before he could squeeze out a little flattery, he smiled at Gu Yu's playful smile.

The smile was fleeting, and when he saw a wave of his big hand, Gu Yu was already shouting: "Take it!" ”

Although the seven or eight pro-soldiers behind Zheng He were confused, and they didn't know why they had changed the scene of the arrest with their master to toast the toast, they still dutifully hugged each other and pressed the two of them to the ground with their shoulders on their shoulders.

"Wronged, wronged."

The two shouted in unison, especially Lu Dahu, whose voice was high.

"The last general didn't do anything, but he didn't do anything."

It's right that he wants to be corrupt, but the key is that he was arrested before he had time to be corrupt, isn't this too aggrieved?

"Just because you Lu Dahu is a frequent visitor to this harbor restaurant, you have done a lot of illegal things in Pingsuri, and flouting military discipline is enough to cut off your head."

Gu Yu glared at Lu Dahu in disgust, but the latter's eyes lit up instead.

"Whether the last general has flouted military discipline or not, and how to punish it will be handed over to the Southern Military Governor's Mansion to deal with, you have no right to deal with me."

Unlike Lu Dahu's struggle, Geng Jiang is much calmer, and after the panic at the beginning has passed, he has a calm face.

"This official is the transfer envoy of the Quanzhou Shipping Division, that is, the Fujian Political Envoy and the Inspectorate have no right to arrest me, and this official is directly under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce.

At the end, Geng Jiang also snorted coldly: "In addition, Quanzhou shipping pays millions of taxes a year, and it is the period of the five-year plan, what should I do, don't you need to ask the opinion of the Ministry of Taxation?" This official is a fellow villager of Li Butang, the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation, the uncle of the country, and the depth of the water in the court, don't frame this official for some things to catch wind and shadows.

This official just talked to you about some elegant things about the wind and snow, singing and dancing prostitutes, what kind of royal law did you commit? ”

is a good Geng Jiang, but at this time, he is not chaotic, and he simply turns his face and does not admit it, anyway, there is no such thing as a recording in these years.

As long as he doesn't recognize what he said, just relying on Gu Yu's empty words, he wants to take out the transshipment envoy of the Quanzhou Shipping Division?

Then this royal law is too child's play.

Without physical evidence, the only thing Gu Yu is qualified to do is to impeach the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then the Metropolitan Procuratorate will send someone to investigate.

After this back and forth, he Geng Jiang had already wiped off all the uncleanness on his buttocks.

What's more, his ass itself is very 'clean', and he hasn't shown his tail at all in the past few years.

"You're got a good mouth."

Gu Yu leaned down and patted Geng Jiang's face, and laughed: "If I am just a national uncle, I really have nothing to do with you." ”

Without waiting for a smug smile on Geng Jiang's face, Gu Yu's voice sounded in his ears again.

"I have always wanted to deal with you as a businessman, but it seems that Geng Sicheng still can't look down on it, and that's right, Geng Sicheng is a big man with hundreds of inspectors under his hands.

Then don't pretend, showdown, in addition to the president of the Quanzhou branch, contemptible people are not talented, added to the position of the commander of the Fujian Jinyi Guard, the imperial front division, and was ordered by the emperor to inspect the affairs of Quanzhou shipping, and in the past few years, he has really not caught a few big tigers.

His Majesty was worried that the boundary of Quanzhou was a sea of gold and silver, which would definitely breed corruption, so let Gu come here, and he had not made any achievements in the past few years, so thank you two today.

The sign of the Imperial Division, can you be found guilty? ”

At this moment, Geng Jiang's face suddenly turned extremely pale, and he raised his head with frightened eyes, and his face was dead.

Tsukasa Gozen? Tsukasa Gozen!

Fujian Jinyiwei commands the affairs, Gu Yu still has such an identity?

Don't take such a bully.

"You said that you are a fellow villager with Li Zirong, the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation? If I'm not mistaken, Li Butang is from Jiangxi, and you are bluffing me with the Jiangxi Party. ”

Gu Yu looked at Geng Jiang's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Do you still want to say that you and Yang Ge Lao are also fellow villagers, hinting at me about your Quanzhou Shipping Division, Yang Ge Lao is also in love, huh?" ”

This sentence frightened Geng Jiang violently: "I don't know what you're talking about, it's true that I'm from Jiangxi, but I have nothing to do with anyone, what fellow villagers and fellow villagers, don't frame me at will." ”

"First take him to the prison of Quanzhou Jinyi Wei Baihu, and I will try him well."

Gu Yu waved his hand, and several personal soldiers behind Zheng He escorted the two out of the Haiqing Pavilion, and only Zheng He and Gu Yu were left in the room.

"Brother Sanbao just came back from Arabia, and I wanted to pick up the wind for you, brother, but it turned out that such a thing happened, and it was really unpleasant."

Gu Yu confessed: "Settle down tonight, and tomorrow the third brother will return to Beijing to face the saint." ”

"Yes, after two years at sea, I finally lived up to my grace."

Zheng He smiled, paused, turned his head to look at the location of the gate, and asked meaningfully.

"Uncle Fang Caiguo mentioned the matter of fellow villagers, what do you want to do?"

The prison of Fengyan Jinyiwei, even if a brute goes in, he can torture and speak human words.

It can be seen that in that place, there is no evidence that cannot be obtained, and secrets that cannot be dug out, Gu Yu grasped the words of Geng Jiangjiang's Jiangxi identity, what does he want to do?

"Two years ago, several princes of the Zongren Mansion were killed by the group of foreign ministers in the court, and several martial artists of the Five Military Mansions were connected, how could this matter be over."

Gu Yu snorted coldly, his eyes revealing murderous intent: "Zongxun and the foreign ministers have always been incompatible, even if they haven't been born in peace in the past two years, if you don't hurt them, they will always hold back their thoughts to get us."

In the past two years, the cabinet has been worried about checking the accounts of the General Chamber of Commerce and Commerce, and the local government has always been at odds with the guards, because the local guards have conducted tax inspections of 300 households, so that they cannot deceive their superiors and subordinates and secretly hide the slaves of the fields.

It can be said that the contradiction has been going on for a long time, but it has been pressed and has not found an opportunity.

Brother Sanbao grew up with His Royal Highness King Yan since he was a child, and he is our own person, so there is no need to hide it in front of you, brother, junior brother. ”

Zheng He picked up a wine glass from the table and played with it, he didn't speak, he grew up in the Yanwang Mansion since he was a child, and when he was older, he was recruited by the emperor to join the Imperial Division, although he has been floating on the sea for several years, but it is not that he is ignorant of politics.

His instincts told him that this matter was not as simple as Gu Yu said.

"The party in Jiangxi is strong, you can't move."

"It's because he's powerful, so everyone has been dissatisfied with them for a long time."

Gu Yu waved his hand and laughed: "Don't talk about these troublesome things, I have my own arrangements, junior brother, come to Sanbao brother, let's two drink." ”

The wine glass was raised to his mouth and he drank it all, and Zheng He also laughed.

"That's right, drink first."
