Chapter 221: Jiaxing Wu Family
The people of Xi'an Mansion feel that they have not lived in vain in their lives. Including the homeless people from other places, they also feel that they have grown a lot of knowledge.
The grandson of a vassal king is not good at flirting with the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law in his fiefdom, and he is waiting to inherit the throne with peace of mind, but he ran to Xi'an Mansion to recruit displaced people, so he is not afraid that the emperor will lock him up and raise him as a pig?
But when they saw Master Ma Weiqiu, who had been accompanying the grandson of King Tang all the time, and Jinyiwei, the guy who had not changed his face for ten thousand years, the people of Xi'an Mansion and those homeless people felt that this matter was more reliable.
If it weren't for the emperor's permission, a vassal king would dare to run out and recruit exiles? Still accompanied by Jinyiwei throughout the process?
Especially when they heard that not only could they eat enough, but they could have twenty taels of silver for a trip to settle in, there was an uproar among the homeless people.
Did Emperor Chongzhen help Shaanxi? It's actually huge. At least after Jinyiwei and Xichang cast their nets, Shaanxi did not starve to death again, even if he was half starved to death, at least he did not starve to death again.
But now it's obviously not a matter of starving to death or not, this fucking silver, white silver! Who doesn't like a little cutie like silver?
Especially if there is as much as 20 taels of settling-in expenses, plus the wages for transporting things as a people's husband, isn't it directly possible to become a landlord?
I heard that at that time, some land will be distributed to the big guys to plant, and there will be valuable stones growing in the ground?
Ouch, no, it's exciting to think about.
I have to say that this wave of operations is really sassy, if Emperor Chongzhen knows, he will definitely say a word of six-six-six, and Lao Tie double-clicked to pay attention to a wave.
But Emperor Chongzhen obviously didn't know, or it would take a few days to know. Now Emperor Chongzhen's mind has been cast in the southeast direction.
When Emperor Chongzhen went to Shaanxi a few days ago, he met the unlucky child, the future great druid Chen Zuqi, but he met the eldest prince of Wu in Lantian County.
What does the Wu family in Zhejiang want so much grain for? Or is it a premium for grain?
If you want to say that the big businessmen in Shaanxi buy grain, Emperor Chongzhen can understand it, but there is no shortage of grain in Zhejiang, and these people still want to hoard grain? Want to rebel?
After thinking about it for a while, Emperor Chongzhen simply didn't think about it anymore, and was about to order someone to summon Tian Ergeng into the palace, but suddenly remembered that this guy was thrown to Shaanxi by himself, and even Lao Wei was still in Shaanxi.
Emperor Chongzhen, who felt a headache for a while, simply instructed Wang Chengen: "Order someone to pass Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun over." ”
After Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun hurriedly arrived, Emperor Chongzhen ordered: "You choose your own people and go to Zhejiang." ”
Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun were stunned, what did Emperor Chongzhen want to do? The last time I sent someone to the southeast, it was to kill Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai, who made the emperor unhappy, and now there are people who don't open their eyes to make the emperor unhappy?
Before the two of them could ask, Emperor Chongzhen had already said coldly: "There is a Wu family in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, and the eldest son of his family, Wu Qi, bought grain in Shaanxi and shipped it back to Zhejiang. I want you to send someone to find out what they are buying so much food for. ”
Cao Huachun and Xu Xianchun were shocked at the time, if it wasn't for the rebellion, who the hell would have nothing to do hoarding food? There is no need to worry about the problem of food in Zhejiang, but there is still fish to eat.
Xu Xianchun said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is a big matter, why don't you go for a while?" ”
Emperor Chongzhen snorted, and after a deep groan, he said, "You can go on a trip." Investigate the matter with me, and see what the food is for. ”
Xu Xianchun bowed and said, "The minister obeys the order." It's just that if someone is plotting against you? ”
Emperor Chongzhen's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly: "Take it all, I allow you to mobilize the rest of the guards in Nanjing except for Xiaolingwei." ”
Listening to the murderous intent in Emperor Chongzhen's tone, Xu Xianchun had a bottom in his heart, and immediately bowed down again and said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the minister will definitely find out now." ”
After leaving the palace, Xu Xianchun looked at Cao Huachun and said, "Does Father-in-law Cao send someone to go with Xu, or send someone alone?" ”
Cao Huachun said with a sharp voice: "Our family is naturally willing to send someone to go with Master Xu, after all, those little cubs don't have a score to do things." But if the jade is not cut, it will not be successful, so they still have to let them experience it themselves. ”
Xu Xianchun just smiled when he heard this, knowing what Cao Huachun was worried about, he didn't say anything more at the moment, just took out a sign from his waist and handed it to Cao Huachun and said: "Since this is the case, please ask Gonggong Cao to accept this brand, if there is anything needed, let people take this brand to find Xu." ”
Cao Huachun smiled and said to Xu Xianchun: "In this way, our family will thank Master Xu." ”
Then he looked up at the sky and said, "It's not early, let's go separately to prepare?" ”
Xu Xianchun smiled: "That's right. Father-in-law Cao, please. ”
After each of them had a bit of noise, they went their separate ways to prepare.
After Cao Huachun arrived at the East Factory, Fang Cai's smiling face was already gloomy and could wring out water.
First, he gave incense to the statue of Yue Wumu, and then said to the little eunuch next to him: "Go, call Wang Wei of Chenjiao to our family." ”
After Wang Wei arrived, he knelt down on one knee and said: "Humble Wang Wei, I've seen the factory father!" ”
Cao Huachun took a sip of the tea on the table, and said lightly: "Wang Wei, we have an errand to tell you to do." ”
Wang Wei nodded violently: "Please publicize it in the factory!" ”
Cao Huachun snorted and nodded with satisfaction: "Actually, this matter is not a big deal.
There is a family surnamed Wu in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, who bought a lot of grain in Shaanxi a few days ago, and unfortunately let the emperor run into it, so don't we have to send someone to investigate?
If that's the case, we just tell you to go. It's just that this time, there are still people from Jinyiwei who also went to investigate this matter. ”
When Wang Wei heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Please rest assured, the humble man must check in front of Jinyiwei!" ”
Cao Huachun smiled, and then said, "Okay! Our family really didn't look at the wrong person. Remember, this time the Jinyi Guard took the lead in their Admiral Xu Xianchun, whether our family's face can be revealed in front of the emperor, but it's all up to you? ”
Wang Wei said: "Humble understand! ”
Cao Huachun snorted, took out the sign given by Xu Xianchun, and then said: "Also, these people must have a big plan for hoarding food like this.
Things have to be done, but you can't be without brains. You hold this brand, if it is really tricky, then take this brand to find Xu Xianchun. ”
Seeing what Wang Wei wanted to say, Cao Huachun took the first step to speak, and directly blocked Wang Wei's words: "Our family knows what you want to say, but we are all on errands for the emperor, and we can fight for merit, but we must not be delayed, understand?" ”
Wang Wei had no choice but to take the sign in Cao Huachun's hand and arch his hand: "Humble and understand!" ”
Cao Huachun nodded with satisfaction and ordered, "Take your people from the class." When the time comes, I can bring it back to our family and wait for the emperor to dispose of it.
The manpower of my East Factory in Jiaxing, Zhejiang and the surrounding areas, except for those related to overseas affairs and the sailor part, you can transfer the rest. ”
When Wang Wei heard this, he stood up from the ground and arched his hand: "Thank you for the kindness of the factory father, you will definitely do things properly." ”
Seeing that Cao Huachun had no other instructions, Wang Wei bowed down and withdrew from the hall and returned to his Chen class.
Pushing open the door of the class, there were more than a dozen people sitting together, looking at themselves with blank eyes.
Wang Wei smiled and said, "Brothers, this time there is work to do." ”
A man dressed in a black robe spoke first, but it was a female voice: "Boss, what is it that makes you so happy?" ”
Wang Wei smiled: "Good thing! The factory sent us to Jiaxing, Zhejiang. Someone is hoarding food. ”
The female voice who spoke first was surprised: "There are still people over there who dare to rebel?" ”
Another man, also dressed in black, sneered, "Rabbits don't have brains, do they?" Who said hoarding food is for rebellion? Can't you make wine for it? ”
The female voice known as the rabbit sneered and replied, "You white tiger is brainless." If you use it to make wine, can you still talk about hoarding grain? How could it be possible for us to investigate this matter? ”
Baihu was stunned when he heard this, and said fiercely: "Why is it impossible?" Maybe people brew more? Besides, can't you sell it to Jiannu? ”
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.
Wang Wei said thoughtfully: "This is not a bad direction. Anyway, let's go to Jiaxing, Zhejiang first, and then start with the family surnamed Wu, and see what they want to do by hoarding food? ”
A lean man with a bit of thief eyebrows and rat eyes smiled: "Our leader, it's really brainless." I guess I didn't ask the factory boss about the situation. ”
Wang Wei sneered and said, "Let your mother's fart!" The eldest son of that family is called Wu Qi, and he must also have a bit of a reputation in Jiaxing, so he went to check according to this. For the rest, the factory didn't say it, can you blame the factory for not asking Your Majesty clearly? ”
The matter involved Emperor Chongzhen, and the man with squirrel's eyebrows and rat eyes smiled curtly: "My subordinates lost their words for a while, and they lost their words." ”
Wang Wei ignored this person, and continued: "Also, Jinyiwei is also investigating this matter. They were personally sent by Admiral Xu Xianchun Xu, so we have to hurry up, if you don't understand it when the time comes, be careful of your skin! ”
Several people heard Wang Wei's words, and when they got up together, they said, "Yes!" ”
It was only after waiting for the twelve people to rush to Jiaxing day and night, and after some investigation, they found out how powerful the Wu family was in Jiaxing.
The old lady of the Wu family, whose name is Wu Tiande, owns nearly half of the fertile land outside Jiaxing City, and is nicknamed Wu Bancheng, and there are more than ten officials in the clan, and the highest is Wu Liang, the head of the household department in Nanjing.
As for the scholars and businessmen in the clan, there are countless people. The entire Wu family is not far from the king of a land.
Wang Wei, who received the rabbit's report, was numb at that time.
The factory father's orders can't be left undone, but this matter is too fucking difficult to do.
The more he thought about it, the more headache Wang Wei said to the rest of the people: "Let's talk about it, what should I do about this." ”
The rabbit who was in charge of finding out the news spoke first: "According to me, let's directly transfer troops and take them all." ”
The white tiger, who has always liked to raise the bar with the rabbit, sneered and said, "Take it? What you said is really simple, the entire Wu family will take it, and the number of people involved will not care about him first, and then half of the shops in Jiaxing City will be stopped first, and you will raise the people who can't buy things at that time? ”
Seeing the white tiger's gaze swept maliciously across his chest, the rabbit, who had always been hot-tempered, raised his hand and slapped the white tiger, and shouted angrily: "The old lady killed you as a disciple!" ”
Seeing this, the white tiger hurriedly hid to the side, but was kicked to the ground by Wang Wei.
Wang Wei, who kicked down the white tiger, waved his hand to stop the rabbit and said coldly: "What is it!" Now is the time for you to get down to business, not for you to be here to talk nonsense! ”
The lean man who was still the thief with rat eyes said: "This matter is too damn big, if we transfer troops here, we are afraid that it will not be enough." Not to mention anything else, even if we can mobilize the guards and soldiers, who can guarantee that these soldiers are not interested in the Wu family? ”
Another lean man also spoke: "What then? Shall we just go back to Beijing and resume our lives? Let His Majesty send a large army? Then what is Your Majesty still doing with our East Factory? ”
Wang Wei snorted coldly and said, "If it is said to be a transfer of troops, there is nothing that cannot be done. It's just that this credit will be given to Jinyiwei's side. ”
The white tiger got up from the ground and sneered, "If it is distributed to them, how much credit will we have left?" After going back, I'm afraid that it will not be good to wait for the factory bus? ”
Wang Wei pondered and said, "That's also a matter of no way." Lao Tzu went to discuss it with Lord Xu of Jinyiwei. ”
By the time Wang Wei found Xu Xianchun, Xu Xianchun had been waiting for him in the brocade guard for a long time.
Looking at the sturdy man in front of him, Xu Xianchun smiled faintly: "Found it?" ”
Wang Wei arched his hand and said, "Yes." It's just that things are a little tricky, and I don't dare to specialize in my humble position, so I specially came to ask for help. ”
Xu Xianchun said: "Bendu already knew that you would come. This Wu family's business is not something that you Dongchang or Xu's Jinyiwei family can handle. ”
Wang Wei looked up at Xu Xianchun unexpectedly, but saw Xu Xianchun smile and said, "This governor and you are almost the same as these news. Not to mention that the Wu family's forces are in Zhejiang, but in the southeast, they can be called intricate.
If you want to take down the power of the entire Wu family, I'm afraid it won't be easy. What's more, they resold the grain, but to whom? Who else is involved? ”
Wang Wei gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "My East Factory has only found a few clues so far, it seems to be related to the sea thief Li Cripple." ”
Xu Xianchun said meaningfully: "What is a pirate doing hoarding food? Can you still rebel? ”
