Chapter 1007: Three-legged stand
Don't look at what Guo Dan said is a swear, but it's all fake.
He just bought 100,000 catties of salt and sold it at low prices all over Nanjing.
In order to get the effect in this short hour.
It's really willful.
Of course, those salt farms only exist in his mouth.
It is impossible for him to build salt works in Luzon and Penghu.
Because the coastal states and counties of the Ming Dynasty are not short of salt, the production of salt from Luzon and then transportation to the mainland is completely uncompetitive.
However, this is not a bluff.
Although he doesn't, he can have it at any time, so it can be said that he actually has it.
Those salt merchants are not stupid, they believe that Guo Dan can actually own a large number of salt farms in Luzon.
As for where that salt comes from, it doesn't matter.
......
However, this conference is actually highly anticipated, especially after Guo Dan's arrival, all forces are secretly observing.
And the cannon shot just now really frightened everyone.
Although this altar is outside the city, it can not be regarded as a suburb, it can only be said to be an extension of the city of Nanjing, but there are a large number of merchants living in this vicinity, there are a large number of shops, it is a very prosperous area.
Who would dare to shoot here...?
This, of course, immediately alarmed Admiral Zhao Fei.
He personally led his men to investigate the matter.
Here, however, he meets a detachment of Dejinyi guards on a classified mission.
After confirming that the official document and token were correct, Zhao Fei stepped forward and said to the leader of the Jinyi guard: "You mean, the cannon shot just now was just a mistake by your people. ”
"Lord Hui, that's right." Brocade clothes thousand households hug fists.
"Misfired?"
General Zhao Fei suddenly reprimanded angrily: "This is not a battlefield, where did you start with this misshooting?" Did you mistakenly put the shell into the barrel and then ignite the line of fire by mistake? Could this be a mistake? ”
"Your Excellency, please calm your anger first."
Jinyi Qianhu turned around and said, "Bring me up." ”
I saw several brocade-clothed guards escorting the two of them forward.
"Get on your knees!"
The two immediately fell to their knees and immediately cried: "My lord's life, my lord's life!" ”
The brocade-clothed Qianhu said to General Zhao Fei: "My lord, all this is because the two of them are very curious about this new type of artillery, and while we are resting, they secretly operate the artillery, so that there is a misfire, fortunately, no one was injured, otherwise, it is difficult to escape the blame for the death." ”
Lucky it didn't hurt anyone?
In this vicinity, no matter which direction you shoot, there is a high chance that you will hurt people, but there is no one in the abandoned hut over there.
That's a ...... odds!
Zhao Fei blushed his face and watched their performances, only to feel that he was regarded as mentally retarded by them.
Can't you find a reason that is less insulting?
But he didn't want to think about it, in broad daylight, in full view of everyone, how could he not find a suitable reason.
You know.
Why care about that.
Zhao Feijiang suddenly pointed angrily at the brocade-clothed Qianhu and said, "Can you excuse yourself now?" ”
Jinyi Qianhu said: "When the lowly post completes the task, the lowly post will ask His Majesty for guilt." ”
"You...!"
Zhao Feijiang gritted his teeth with hatred, his eyes widened angrily, and he nodded straight and said, "Okay!" Okay! You dare to play a trick with me, I will make you unable to eat and walk around. ”
When he came here, he was already told what was going on.
It is clear that it is the bureau set up by Guo Dan, which is intended to deter those salt merchants.
But he really had no way to take these brocade guards, after all, they still had military orders, and he didn't dare to take these people down.
Of course, he won't do such a stupid thing, this injustice has a debtor, and if you want to find it, you should go to Guo Dan.
......
Back at the official office, Zhao Fei will be furious.
"How can this be true? Outrageous! That damn businessman actually played with us like fools, and shot by mistake, Lao Tzu shot his mother by mistake, Lao Tzu would never let him go. ”
Scolding and scolding, Zhao Feijiang suddenly found that Wang Yiju, who was sitting, was silent, and couldn't help but say, "Why didn't Lord Shangshu speak?" ”
Wang Yiyu glanced at him and said, "You calm your anger first, I have something to tell you." ”
"I can't sit right now." Zhao Fei shouted.
Wang Yihe groaned a little, and no longer forced him, and said: "All this may be Guo Dan's conspiracy. ”
"Conspiracy?"
Zhao Feijiang was stunned for a moment and said, "What conspiracy?" ”
Wang Yihe sighed: "He hopes to be able to start a war in Nanzhili. ”
"What did you say?"
Zhao Feijiang looked at Wang Yiyu in dismay.
Is this the rhythm of the rebellion?
Only then did Wang Yihe inform General Zhao Fei of the negotiations with Guo Dan that day.
Zhao Feijiang was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't help but say, "How dare he?" ”
Wang Yihe sighed: "I originally had some doubts, but now I ...... Let me ask you, do you know how many Jinyi guards are currently on a classified mission in Nanzhili? Do you know how many artillery pieces are produced by Weihui Mansion in Nanzhili? ”
Zhao Feijiang was stunned.
Wang Yihe frowned and said: "If there is really a fight, have you ever thought about the consequences, everything we have here will come to naught, and the people of Nanzhili will also be ruined, and Guo Dan he... He is just a few days of trading, maybe in the future, the people of Nanzhili will be grateful to him. ”
Zhao Feijiang took a breath of cold air and said, "Are we going to let him ride on our heads and, and do nothing?" ”
"Of course not."
Wang Yihe said: "We must immediately strengthen our vigilance and maintain local law and order, so as not to give Guo Dan a chance to make trouble, they can fight, but we must not do anything illegal, otherwise, we will be severely punished, so that Nanzhili will not have a war, and at the same time, we can also ensure the authority of our government." ”
Zhao Fei will be silent.
In today's situation, they must take a firm and neutral stance, firmly support the law, and do their best to maintain the law and order of Nanzhili.
It is impossible to pick a side.
Because if they choose a side, it will only make things worse, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
At this moment, a person came into the house, "Lord Qiyu, Wan Shilang of the Ministry of Industry asks to see you." ”
Zhao Fei immediately said: "He must have come here for this." ”
Wang Yiyu nodded and said, "I'll deal with him." As he spoke, he said to the lower man, "Please come in." ”
After a while, Wan Jian came into the house and said, "Xiaguan has seen Lord Shangshu. As he spoke, he also pretended to look at General Zhao Fei in surprise, and arched his hand: "Admiral Zhao is also here!" ”
Without waiting for General Zhao Fei to speak, Wang Yihe took the initiative to speak: "Admiral Zhao is discussing with me how to deal with the incident about the cannon fire outside the southern city. ”
Wan Jian hurriedly asked, "I don't know if there is a reason to find out." ”
Wang Yiyu nodded and said, "That artillery is a brocade guard from the capital, they are about to go to the south to carry out a secret mission, when they pass through here, because of the operation error of their subordinates, they accidentally fired, fortunately no one was injured." ”
Wan Jian felt incredible when he heard it, and said, "Do you believe such nonsense?" ”
Wang Yiyu said: "Of course I don't believe it, but they do have His Majesty's token, Admiral Zhao is worried that if they are detained, it will delay the military aircraft, so he asked me to discuss, I won't hide it from you, I don't dare to detain them, if Wan Shilang thinks that there is a cat in it, Admiral Zhao can hand over the matter to Wan Shilang to deal with." ”
Wan Jian is not stupid, he can't take this hot potato, and hurriedly said: "The lower official wants to take care of it, but this matter is not within the authority of the lower official, but there must be something greasy in this, because Guo Dan ...... today!" ”
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Wang Yihe said: "Admiral Zhao has also investigated, Guo Dan is indeed suspicious, but the fact is that Guo Dan did not admit in public that he put it." ”
Wan Jian said: "But we all know that this is what Guo Dan arranged, he was at the salt merchants conference today, he was a gossip to confuse the public, intimidate others, and slander the government, do you want to continue to shield Guo Dan?" ”
"Who said I was shielding Guo Dan."
Wang Yiyu shouted angrily, and said: "If he violates the law, the official will definitely arrest him and never tolerate him, and the official has been sending people to watch his every move, just say that the five centimeters of salt that appeared in Nanjing today, the official has also sent someone to investigate, it is all some official salt, and they can't even talk about smuggling salt, and they promise that the grain store is selling those salts at a low price in the name of charity."
As for what he said, it was not enough to constitute a crime at the moment, but the official would also send someone to tell him to be cautious in his words and deeds. ”
Wan Jian glanced at Wang Yiyu and said: "What the hell is going on, the adults should know very well in their hearts, there is no need for the lower officials to explain, before Guo Dan came here in the future, the adults have reservations, and the lower officials can also understand." But now that Guo Dan has come to Nanjing, and he is still showing off his might, he deceives people too much, and he doesn't take our officials in his eyes, that is, adults can endure this humiliation, and others can't bear it. ”
"Humiliation?"
Wang Yiyu stood with his hands in his hands and said: "In the opinion of this official, everything that happens in Jiangxi is the humiliation of the government, and this official still says that if anyone dares to make trouble in Nanzhili, this official will be severely punished and will not be tolerated." ”
After hearing this, Wan Jian immediately arched his hand and said, "The official is leaving." ”
Wang Yiyu's attitude has been very clear, it is impossible for him to stand with Jiangxi, it is humiliation, and there is naturally nothing to talk about.
After Wan Jian left, General Zhao Fei said, "They will never give up." ”
Wang Yihe said: "But we must not let them come nonsense. ”
Zhao Fei slammed his fist on the tea table, and said extremely unwillingly: "All this was done by Guo Dan, but let's help him wipe his buttocks, it's really unreasonable." ”
Wang Yihe said: "We are not helping him, we are helping ourselves." ”
After discussing with Guo Dan, he has been weighing this matter, of course he is not willing to become Guo Dan's pawn, and at the same time does not want to stand on the opposite side of the emperor, this thought about it, he feels that only by sticking to his original ideas and safeguarding the interests of the entire Nanzhili can he get out of this dilemma.
At the same time, he can also take the opportunity to win over a group of honest officials and become this third party force.
