Chapter 423: Guessed Wrong

Xu Pengju is a straw bag, this is undoubted, greedy for money so that he took the sand boats guarding Nanjing to smuggle, and was so timid that dozens of Japanese invaders invaded Nanjing and did not dare to meet the enemy, so naturally he would not rashly agree to Qian Yuan's request, even if Qian Yuan grabbed his pigtails.

However, since Qian Yuan dared to come, he was naturally fully prepared.

"At the beginning of October, the head of the household department Shangshu Li'an was in front of the saint and proposed to open the sea to ban trade, can the grandfather of the country know?"

"I know, it's hard for this old man." Xu Pengju snorted, "It is said that when he released his words, he would either open the sea and ban trade, or allow him to give office." ”

Fang Yujiajing has served as the left and right attendants of Nanjing's household department for 28 years, and Xu Pengju is no stranger to him.

"Your Majesty reprimanded the Duke of Tong'an for not being polite, but did not explicitly reprimand him for proposing to open the sea and ban trade."

Glancing at the thoughtful Xu Pengju, Qian Yuan continued: "Last year, Qian proposed in front of His Majesty more than once to open the sea and ban trade, even if it was the same half a month ago, but His Majesty appointed Qian to patrol Zhejiang. ”

"As long as you don't transport grain to sea, the rest have no worries." Qian Yuan said softly: "Silk, cloth, porcelain, tea...... Remember that there are several tea mountains in the Wei Mansion? ”

"So much output, don't sell it to maritime merchants...... Who else can take that much? ”

"And these goods are all produced in the southeast, and the waterways are convenient."

Qian Yuan raised his hand to stop Xu Pengju from opening his mouth, and continued: "Attacking the Duke of the Kingdom, naturally you have to be cautious, Qian will not let the Duke of the Kingdom charge...... Only the Wei Mansion needs to be shipped. ”

Xu Peng's eyes lit up, this is an idea, you can make money but you don't have to take responsibility...... The blacksmith shop still sells scissors, and if someone else buys it and kills someone, can you blame the blacksmith?

As soon as it came to silver, Xu Pengju's IQ immediately fell...... However, Qian Yuan didn't lie to him, firstly, the Duke of Wei had sufficient goods, and secondly, many lords and families wanted to look at the eyes of the Duke of Wei.

Of course, the most important thing is that Xu Pengju has the ability and qualifications to directly intervene in the Nanjing Shipyard.

"Don't worry, brother, the main thing in charge of the shipyard is still from my Wei State Mansion!" Xu Pengju patted his chest and promised: "Taizhou, Shaoxing, after half a year, at least forty sand boats can be allocated!" ”

Qian Yuan nodded, thought about it in his heart, was still a little uneasy, and said in a low voice: "Gao Xinzheng is aware of this matter. ”

"Really?!" Xu Pengju was overjoyed, "Brother, this can't be a joke!" ”

"There is a shortage of silver all over the world, there is a shortage of silver in the household, Hu Ruzhen is short of silver, Your Majesty is short of silver...... Qian Yuan said in an accentuated tone: "Gao Xin Zheng is also short of silver." ”

Gao Xin Zheng here naturally refers to King Yu, Xu Pengju's mouth was grinning, and he made up his mind to call the shipyard at night.

Qian Yuan and Xu Peng glanced at each other, and each looked away, knowing in their hearts.

So far, the emperor has not reigned for more than 40 years, such as Emperor Jiajing, there are those who ascended the throne at a young age, Ming Wuzong ascended the throne in 15 years, and collapsed in 16 years, and Ming Xuanzong ascended the throne in 26, which was even more miserable, and collapsed in 10 years.

Of course, the worst is Zhu Yunwen, who ascended the throne at the age of 21 and hung up four years later.

Although Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne at the age of fourteen, he has been on the throne for thirty-five years, and has been cultivating and refining pills for more than ten years...... Since ancient times, there has been no long-lived king who asks for immortals.

is also nodding to allow the opening of the sea and the ban on trade, in Xu Pengju's mind, Emperor Jiajing is not as heavy as King Yu.

In fact, the former's main demand at present is not to open the sea and ban trade, but to urgently need the warships in coastal Fuzhou, and the latter has seen the silver in front of him after cutting off sea trade for more than three years, and this time there is no need to take any risks or costs...... Xu Pengju wouldn't use the money in his pocket to repair the sand boat.

However, Xu Pengju still has a little doubt, the most important point of opening the sea and banning trade is not actually the imperial court, but the Japanese invaders.

"Rest assured, within a year, Xu Hai will be swept away." Qian Yuan said proudly: "After that, form a fleet to go to sea, if there is any loss, it will be counted on me money." ”

Rejected Xu Pengju's banquet, Qian Yuan immediately went out, borrowed dozens of horses and rushed to the dock, the Wei Mansion was huge in Nanjing, Xu Bangning came forward to transfer an official ship, and the group set off to Zhejiang, seeing that the New Year was coming in a few days.

From Zhenjiang to the North-South Canal, all the way south through Changzhou, Suzhou, in Tongxiang County, Jiaxing Prefecture for a day, pick up more than a dozen guards to recuperate, and then set off south to Hangzhou.

The position of the patrol is very special, to put it mildly, it is the sand mixed by the imperial court, but Qian Yuan in Zhejiang, especially in Hangzhou, has a reputation no less than Hu Zongxian, in just one day, although Qian Yuan did not get off the boat, but there is an endless stream of people who come to visit.

"Mr. Fushan." Qian Yuan gave a salute, although the first meeting a few months ago was very unpleasant, but He Xin was willing to take the risk to sneak Chongde to report the news, and then fought outside Tongxiang County, taking the lead, and the two had already turned enemies into friends.

"Show your talents." He Xinyin's eyes were a little evasive, "Anxious to go back to Taizhou?" ”

This question is a bit weird, it's going to be the New Year soon, even the Japanese are going to celebrate the New Year, Qian Yuan's family is in Taizhou, how can he not go back?

However, Qian Yuan is now patrolling Zhejiang, and when it comes to military affairs, there is a reason not to go back.

"How?" Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Could it be that Brother Ruzhen still has prepared a yamen for someone Qian in Hangzhou City?" ”

Patrol is generally mobile, rarely fixed in one place, and generally does not have a fixed office space.

Wu Baipeng, who came to visit at the same time, said softly: "Yu Dayou, the chief soldier of Zhejiang, is stationed in Jiaxing, and Qi Jiguang, the deputy chief soldier of Zhejiang, is transferred to Ningbo...... The Governor's Office had just issued an order, and Lu Bin led his troops to move to Taizhou. ”

"Lu Bin?" Qian Yuan was a little surprised.

"Although Lu Ziming was defeated and imprisoned, Lu Bin Changshui Town and Tongxiang were meritorious in both battles, and the Governor asked for merit for him. Wu Baipeng thought for a while and added: "Hou Ji is a high-profile Zhejiang capital secretary, a guerrilla general, and Lu Bin's deputy. ”

As soon as these words came out, He Xinyin's expression was even more embarrassed, not that Hu Ruzhen promised to let Lu Bin and Hou Jigao be stationed in Jiaxing before, but now he regrets it...... The deployment of troops is not just a matter of talking, and it is natural for Yu Dayou to be transferred to the Zhejiang General Military Officer to be stationed in Jiaxing.

The key is that Hu Ruzhen deployed troops in this way, which is a hint that you Qian Zhancai will stay in Taizhou, don't make trouble, look, you are matched with your old partners Lu Bin and Hou Jigao.

He Xinyin thought so, so he looked embarrassed, and Wu Baipeng thought the same way, so this trip was to persuade Qian Yuan to focus on the overall situation and not to quarrel with the Governor's Mansion.

But Qian Yuan didn't think so, he asked with a smile: "Mr. Fushan, in Chongde County before, the juniors scolded him...... Ruan Yingxuan is incompetent, Hu Ruzhen is immeasurable, he knows? ”

Without waiting for He Xinyin to speak, Qian Yuan shook his head, "It doesn't matter, in front of him Hu Ruzhen, these are the same words, and in front of His Majesty, these are also the few words." ”

Wu Baipeng was fine, but after hearing this, He Xinyin's face changed, he knew that Qian Yuan and Hu Ruzhen had been secretly trading in Tongxiang County for more than a month.

What does this mean?

Do you mean that you Qian Yuan put on small shoes for Hu Zongxian behind his back and said small things?

Glancing at He Xinyin, Qian Yuan said casually: "The original words are transferred to Brother Ruzhen, tell him that I will wait for him in Taizhou." ”

This time, He Xinyin and Wu Baipeng really guessed wrong, from the perspective of the system, among the civil and military officials of the southeast anti-Japanese war, only Qian Yuan, the Zhejiang patrol, was not his subordinate Hu Zongxian.

Fengtian Patrol presses, he can intervene in anything, he can go anywhere, he Hu Zongxian ate the bear's heart leopard and dared to press Qian Yuan in Taizhou?

What's more, Qian Yuanjian is in the heart of the emperor, has a good relationship with the Yan Party, and is also friendly with King Yu, although Hu Zongxian is narrow, he is not a fool.

The only explanation is that Hu Zongxian hopes to maintain his previous relationship with Qian Yuan...... To be precise, it is to maintain information communication with Qian Yuan.

What information is communicated?

Of course, it was Qian Yuan's eyeliner buried in the widows.

Hu Zongxian has been in the war for a long time, and of course he knows that the Japanese are far away, and it is difficult for Qian Yuan to meet directly with the eyeliner, so it is likely that the two have pre-determined communication channels.

Since Zhang San rushed to Shangyu from Sanmen Town, Taizhou two months ago, Hu Zongxian has determined that the connection between Qian Yuan and Eyeliner is in Taizhou...... And the last time Qian Yuan went south to Taizhou, he may have been prepared.
