The Hou Mansion wants to stretch out its hand here in Nan'an, and the rest of the towns can't be saved, but the Zongren generally don't put accounts, which is also the rule of the imperial court, civil and military officials and clans are not allowed to lend usury, in order to prevent them from committing many illegal acts with the power and identity in their hands, ruining the image of the Great Wei Dynasty and causing public anger.

Even if the Hou Mansion only opened a money bank, the impact on the Pu family's business would not be small.

Pu Shouchen looked at it with a gloomy face for a while, and after seeing that Li Yi had fallen in love with a set of courtyards not far from Pujia Qianzhuang, he finally couldn't help it.

"Someone." Pu Shouchen suppressed his voice and said, "Lead the horse here, I want to go to Fucheng." ”

"Disaster is coming." An old shopkeeper looked at the figure of Pu Shouchen leaving, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"What else can happen?"

The old shopkeeper was silent, these descendants in front of him really didn't know how thick the sky was, of course, Nan'an Hou Mansion was even more ignorant, if an outsider like the Pu family didn't have some powerful means, could he really easily accumulate the current hundreds of millions of net worth in Dawei?

Pu Shouchen was full of anger and depression, and rushed all the way to Defu City, and he already had a plan in his heart, not to give Nan'an Hou Mansion a ruthless hand, I am afraid that anyone can go to Pu's head to and pee.

But how to counteract, Pu Shouchen has no plan in his heart, and can only hope that Pu Shougao can come up with a good idea.

Pu Shougao has always been the head of the Pu family, and thinking of this patriarchal brother, Pu Shouchen's heart is much more stable.

When he arrived at the Pu family's huge mansion, Pu Shouchen couldn't see him for a while, because there was a more important guest in the Pu family's inner flower hall who was talking with Pu Shougao.

……

"If the palace can send some tooth generals to help, I'm afraid it will be more certain."

Pu Shougao and Xu Ziwei in front of him often meet and have a very close relationship. Usually Xu Ziwei came over, Pu Shougao would gather a large number of guests, put on the best banquet, and then come to dozens of glamorous singers to cheer up.

Today, the two of them are retreating from all outsiders, and the door is locked in the Pu family, and the nearest people are all an arrow away, not afraid that someone will eavesdrop on leaking secrets, so that they can show their minds and speak more clearly.

"Xu Mingda's rising momentum is difficult to suppress anymore," Xu Ziwei said calmly: "Now that the Marquis of Changwen Mansion is on the side of the Marquis of Nan'an, it is not only the King of Qi who supports him." If our Zhao Wangfu shows any traces, then the civil and military officials in Fuzhou can take the opportunity to attack, and the situation that my father has been operating on Fujian Road for more than ten years will be in jeopardy in an instant. With such a big picture, I think the proprietor should understand the important points. ”

Pu Shougao sneered slightly, Xu Ziwei's words were nothing more than saying that Zhao Wangfu was more important.

Xu Zixian had really influenced the layout of King Zhao, which was obviously a force supported by King Qi, and now the 1,600 warriors and generals he had trained had become a completely uncontrolled armed group outside the city of Fuzhou.

Of the five forbidden armies in the city, King Zhao is confident that he can control two, and two are firmly controlled by Han Bingzhong, that is, Lin Douyao.

The remaining two armies, one under the control of Liu Guangsi, is impartial, Liu Guangsi is the commander of the old qualifications, and his meritorious service to the war of the Japanese people during the Chengzong period is not small, but he is not in the line of the King of Qi, and the relationship with the King of Qi has always been very distant, and the King of Zhao has always wanted to pull Liu Guangsi over, but has not succeeded.

Of course, Lin Douyao also wants to control this army, but Liu Guangsi is very old, he is also strict in governing the army, and his own ethics are even more upright, and it is impossible to find a reason to command and dismiss this, Liu Guangsi is old, but he is only in his fifties, so he can only wait for this veteran to pass sixty, find a reason for the lack of energy in the elderly, and drive him away.

The rest of the city defense battalions, the robbery battalions, the river defense battalions, or the box army system, are controlled by the pacification envoy or the king of Zhao, and there are also the criminal divisions and the local government of Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou are directly controlled.

There are five armies of the Fujian Road Forbidden Army, and if the Xiang Army is all organized together, it is a dozen or so armies, and the garrison force of more than 40,000 people is of course seriously insufficient in terms of troops, so it is overstretched everywhere.

This is a big deal, of course what Xu Ziwei said is not what he meant, but King Zhao seized power, secretly colluded with the generals, and controlled the forbidden army and the battalions of the Xiang army, which was a critical juncture at this time.

Nan'an Hou Mansion is indeed an obstacle for King Zhao and Lin Douyao to control Fujian, Xu Zixian suddenly appeared, which is equivalent to opening up a new road, and its parts are completely selected and controlled by themselves, and the needle cannot be inserted, and the water cannot be splashed. Neither the pacification envoy nor the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion could exert influence on the Nan'an regimental training.

Of course, King Zhao is uneasy about this, King Qi's hand, it can be regarded as another way, originally under the double squeeze of Zhao Wangfu and pacifying the envoy, the prestige is extremely high, and the King of Qi, who has made outstanding military achievements, has become more and more difficult to interfere in government affairs.

"What my father did was nothing more than the entrustment of the Son of Heaven." Xu Ziwei knew that the current businessman was not completely convinced, Zhao Wangfu and the Pu family had very close contacts, King Zhao accepted talents and party members, how could he get enough with Zhao Wangfu's own income?

Many people think that the Son of Heaven is secretly supporting, how is this possible?

The Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, but the income of the Inner Court is constant, which is supported by the 2 million yuan allocated from the treasury a year, and when the Son of Heaven is not enough, he can only use the savings of the Inner Court for many years.

The Pu family is an ally of King Zhao in Fujian, and for the Pu family, the hundreds of thousands of yuan given to King Zhao a year are harmless, and in the identity of King Zhao, even asking for bribes is worth the money.

For King Zhao, controlling the military and political power in Fujian is the most important thing.

The current affairs of the Pu family are not worthy of King Zhao's appearance, and the civil and military officials on Fujian Road openly broke their faces, Xu Ziwei did not say what this means, but Pu Shougao can't understand it anyway.

"What is the goal of His Royal Highness King Zhao's approach?" Pu Shougao was not angry, but gossiped and asked about the reason for Xu Ziwei's Zhao Wangfu's approach.

"The Son of Heaven felt that there were many local governments, that authority was not working, that the financial endowment was scattered, and that the military power was different." Xu Ziwei replied: "The ancestral system is made according to the time, and now it is time to change it." ”

"I see." Pu Shougao's face was deep, he nodded, and said with a calm gaze: "Since this is the case, it is inconvenient for me to spoil the important affairs of His Royal Highness King Zhao." But Xu Zi first opened a group in Nan'an to practice donations, and His Royal Highness King Zhao advised me to be patient, and it should be a matter of waiting for money. Unexpectedly, Wu Shizhong, who was sent by this person, was very cunning, and passed this pass in the name of my Pujia gold shop in Jingshi. If it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that this person will be fully fledged and the regiment will become a climate, and when the time comes, it will be difficult to take it off. ”

Xu Ziwei said: "Xu Mingda is said to be my cousin, but he has never made it all the way. After he rose up, my sixth brother who had no interest was also suppressed by him, and my father was so angry that he couldn't find a way for a while. Since he provoked the head of the Pu family, of course we will not protect him, although the palace will not send a tooth general, but if you can help, you will still try to help. ”

That is to say, in the official face, King Zhao will take action and try to cooperate with the actions of the Pu family.

Pu Shougao nodded and continued: "Xu Zi will hold a group practice to collect donations first, and he can still be allowed for a few more days." But if you want to open a money bank in Nan'an and other towns, this is a blatant confrontation with my Pu family, but he can't be tolerated. ”

Xu Ziwei didn't want to listen to these details, but said: "Eliminate the evil, if the Pu family wants to do it, they must do it beautifully, don't leave the beginning and the end, and let people grab the handle." ”

Pu Shougao smiled and said: "Please reply to His Royal Highness King Zhao, please rest assured that the Pu family's action has always been untroubled." In addition to Xu Zixian, I personally went to King Zhao's Mansion to visit His Royal Highness, and with this sub-head, I thought that His Royal Highness King Zhao was celebrating his 50th birthday. ”

"It doesn't have to be." Xu Ziwei said with a solemn face: "Mingda is my father and cousin, and I am afraid of sadness when I see it." ”

……

"Of course I'm not sad." King Zhao listened to his son's report in the inner study, but his face was as usual, and he didn't see any special circumstances, but he just said to Xu Ziwei: "The matter of the Pu family, I asked you to contact you, now you understand, right?" ”

"My son understood." Xu Ziwei perked up and said, "I didn't expect that we would have such a ghost in Fuzhou City. ”

"If only you understood." King Zhao said with relief: "I'm still afraid that you will be confused, thinking that the Pu family is of the same mind as us." ”

"My son won't be so confused." Xu Ziwei said: "The Pu family's wealth can be channeled, and the wealth can rival the country. Looking at Pu Shougao's meaning, he also has a private soldier, which can be used in an emergency, killing people and goods, and they dare to do more than 1,000 people's group training. ”

"He told you this, and he didn't have to force our help to do it, and he also took the opportunity to show us his strength." King Zhao closed his eyes, opened them again, stared at his son and said: "Great Wei is now on the side, the court is turbulent, and the left minister Han Zhong and the great staff Liu Zhiyuan will have trouble sooner or later." What the officials want to do now is to stabilize the court and rule the new court, and the second is to rectify the localities and return all the real power of the local government to the center. Pu Shougao was a villain, thinking that I was afraid of something if I didn't agree to him to shoot together, which was really ridiculous. Businessmen are businessmen after all, and they know what they know about military affairs. ”

"In that case." Xu Ziwei said: "Why don't you order the Pu family not to move, so as not to disturb Fujian?" ”

"The way of civil and martial arts, one piece at a time." King Zhao said: "We forbear, others will think that we are nothing more than this." Mingda's rise seems to be very fast and abrupt, but in fact, looking at its traces, it is not far from the figure of King Qi everywhere. If this continues, everyone thinks that as long as the king of Qi is attached, Fujian can do whatever he wants, what is the reason? This is one layer. On the second layer, Mingda, this child, I looked ordinary before, so I didn't put any effort into him. Unexpectedly, the situation has changed abruptly, and now his rise is unstoppable, and he is already a figure in King Qi's pocket, if we want to pull, we have to work several times harder. Mingda may have an expired promise in his heart, expecting me to pull him, and then reject me, and let out a bad breath of the year, how can I make him fulfill his wish? Not only will you not pull him, but you have to beat him down as soon as possible! ”
