Chapter 582: A Frequent Visit

"Why don't you look for Mr. Gu again?"

At this time, He Shouxin muttered, "Maybe he can still help......

"Mr. Gu?"

Zhang Chenfeng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and asked urgently, "That's what you said...... Mr. Tinglin, Gu Yanwu? ”

"It's him,"

He Shouxin smiled, "This time to break the city, this Mr. Gu has contributed the most......"

"Uh-huh, what about others? Go and please! ”

Zhang Chenfeng stood up suddenly.

In the morning, when He Shouxin introduced the battle situation, he mentioned this duke several times, and he also learned that if this duke hadn't seen through the Tartars' plan to burn the city in time, I am afraid that this time he would have to face a smoky ruins and refugees all over the ground.

Therefore, he was full of thought that this public would definitely be with He Shouxin, if it weren't for Fang Cai's big headache over the food problem, I'm afraid he would have asked for someone a long time ago.

Gu Yanwu's name is known to women and children in later generations, and now he is fortunate to be able to see the deity with his own eyes, Zhang Chenfeng naturally has a great interest in this, no, to be exact, he is inexplicably excited.

He knew that because Lin Xiao mentioned many times, Liu Xulei, who was stationed in Suzhou and Songjiang, was currently sending people to look for this duke, but he didn't expect him to be in Yangzhou......

"I'll go into town at dawn,"

He Shouxin was a little embarrassed, and said, "I have already sent someone to find ......"

He was also puzzled by this.

Originally, he left Mr. Gu outside the city to protect him, but he didn't expect that as soon as the day dawned, this prince didn't know what means he used, so he got rid of his secretary and entered the city in a hurry.

No, most of the day has passed, but this mysterious Mr. Tinglin seems to have disappeared out of thin air and has never appeared again.

"Send more people, be sure to find him......"

Zhang Chenfeng crossed his waist with one hand and waved vigorously with the other, looking impatient, "No, I want to invite it in person!" ”

"However, I went to his rice shop to look for it, and I was not ......."

His anxious roar made He Shouxin a little at a loss.

He didn't know that this Mr. Gu was so important, where could he understand Zhang Chenfeng's thoughts.

In fact, it's not to blame the young He Shouxin for being unheard.

At this time, Gu Yanwu was only a middle-aged man, and he had not even reached the age of confusion, and many of his important works had not yet come out, so his fame and reputation had indeed not reached their peak at this time.

"Rice shop?"

Zhang Chenfeng was a little confused.

This Mr. Gu came to Yangzhou to sell rice?

Even if you want to live in seclusion, shouldn't you be more reliable as a salt merchant?

"Yes,"

He Shouxin raised his head and said, "They used the rice shop as a cover to secretly take some smuggled salt. ”

"Oh,"

Zhang Chenfeng was stunned, and then said strangely, "He...... Guys? ”

"Hmm...... By the way, the regimental commander,"

He Shouxin's eyes suddenly lit up, "He has a friend surnamed Wang who is the shopkeeper, maybe ...... I'm waiting outside at the moment. ”

"Outside? Representatives of the village sages? ”

Zhang Chenfeng reacted immediately.

"Yes, this shopkeeper Wang is Mr. Gu's right-hand man,"

He Shouxin nodded and explained, "Not only did he send the secret letter in time last night, but this time he participated in the Rice Industry Chamber of Commerce anyway, which he secretly instigated, and he was the backbone ......."

"Communicator!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Chenfeng couldn't wait to shout.

"Here!"

A communicator rushed in.

"The representative of the village sage in this city, is he still there?"

"It's still there, I've been waiting for a long time!"

"Oh."

Zhang Chenfeng raised his wrist and looked at his watch, first surprised, and then smiled self-deprecatingly.

It's almost four o'clock! These townsmen have been waiting for three or four hours.

Originally, he didn't want to see this group of people in his heart, so he had the heart to sharpen their patience, but now when he heard that Mr. Gu's right-hand man might also be there, he immediately came to the spirit:

"Invite them over."

"Yes!"

……

There are more than 10 "township sage representatives" who came, led by Wang Luo, in addition to the first master of the rice line.

It is said that it is the "representative of the village sages", but in fact, the rice merchants are still the main in this group, and they are the strongest.

In the Yangzhou business community, the stronger power is naturally the salt merchants, but because almost all the "respectable" salt giants have fled to the countryside early, the many small and medium-sized salt sellers who remain in the city have no leader, so they have to follow the gang behind the rice merchants.

Wang Luo didn't know Gu Yanwu's whereabouts, and he also thought that Mr. Gu was still outside the city.

Since last night, he has been running around with people, dispatching strong shifts everywhere, assisting the Ming army in arming and fighting fires, and has been busy until noon.

At this moment, he was not only carrying a gift list in his arms, but also a "salt and grain sales authorization certificate" issued to them by Suzhou "Yixing Commercial Bank" just last month.

In fact, he knew that this thing was just a commercial cooperation credential.

However, the "village sages" already know the real backstage of this "Yixing Commercial Bank", and they all agree that this "certificate" is the "official license" over there, and they can use it to some extent to attach to the relationship.

The "village sages" in Yangzhou know very little about the true situation of this "Wang Shi", but they have heard a little about the rumors.

Now, the performance of the captives after entering the city has more or less confirmed the rumors of the past, that is, their mood at the moment is not as panicked as this morning.

Although the largest wealthy families did not dare to come in person, all the big families, including the gentry and salt lords who fled to the village villages, also sent people, and at least they were close clan relatives or shopkeepers......

Wang Luo knew very well that the purpose of the village sages visiting so diligently was to find out what the "Wang Shi" was planning to do this time - whether to stay in Yangzhou and not leave, or to get some salt and run away.

After all, based on their knowledge, the current situation in Yangzhou is still very dangerous, and it is not stable at all.

Although Ma Jinbao ran away, Lord Hong's hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen were still looking around, which was not a joke - according to common sense, the two sides had to go back and forth at least a few times before they could decide the winner.

In addition, if Master Wang plans to wait for a long time, then how much price will they, the head snakes, have to pay for this.

At present, the first point seems to be undoubted.

This time, the army moved the people, and even Yangzhou took Huai'an to swallow a large piece in one bite, which doesn't look like a posture of leaving after the fight, especially Yangzhou, whose importance can be understood by people with a little geographical concept.

So, they are more concerned about the second point.

When the guest army enters, whether it is good or evil, the local big families have to spend a lot of money, which is an iron law since ancient times.

A few years ago, the Shi Pavilion Department supervised the Qing Dynasty and mobilized a lot of soldiers and horses from all towns to come to "joint defense".

As for the Tartar soldiers who were defeated and martyred and won a disastrous victory, they simply brought Yangzhou to a pot.

This time the king has been killed again, and the military discipline is admittedly not as good as before, but the rich people think to themselves, so they have to have their own eyes...... Please Baidu "Throw Book Network" Thank you for your support!
