Chapter 298: Struggle and Compromise
The little sister felt slightly disappointed in her heart, and listened to Wu Weisan's meaning, this matter involves officialdom, and it cannot be decided at will, so it is best to ask Zhang Mingliang to run away by himself.
As for asking her, of course, it is not that Wu Weisan is cautious, but that he must hand over the decision, so as not to take the blame himself.
The old tooth general in front of him is only in his thirties, he is in the prime of life, and his martial arts are strong, and it is not unreasonable to be left in Nan'an to take care of his family.
Since Wu Weisan didn't take responsibility, the little sister was not polite, and immediately said: "Zhang Dongzhu is a member of our Chamber of Commerce, and he is also the partner of my Hou Mansion. You led people to drive all the yacha away, and if you didn't listen, you beat them away with a big stick, and your subordinates have more than 500 soldiers, so you may not be afraid of a hundred yacha? β
Wu Weisan was a little stunned by the bright eyes of the little sister, and after a while, he hurriedly said: "This will make things bigger, will it affect the overall situation of the prince's development of the Eastern Domain?" β
"Overall stability is fought for, not endured!" The little sister said loudly: "My eldest brother often said that if you seek compromise by compromise, you will not succeed." If you seek compromise through struggle, you will succeed. You have to show determination, you don't have to be afraid of beating people, let alone killing people, dead people. If something really happens, it is also the Hou Mansion in front of him. β
"Okay." Wu Weisan knew that this was an opportunity, if he was weak, he was afraid that even the new soldiers of Nan'an's battalion would not be able to take him under his command.
Now Nan'an is just a recruiting point, the main thing is that the regimental training donation and the dock are important, the previous battalion of new soldiers has been transferred to Penghu, and now the battalion is a newly recruited battalion of soldiers, led by Wu Weisan and dozens of military attaches from the head to the capital, three months later, the new soldiers entered the camp again, and the new soldiers of this battalion went to the Eastern Domain to continue training.
If only nine battalions are recruited within the year, then the additional battalion will be exchanged with the garrison of the Eastern Domain, and after calling each other for half a year, they can pass the assessment in the new training period and be regarded as official soldiers.
Of course, Wu Weisan also hopes that he can have a higher position and a more core position, but if nothing else, he can only bring out battalions and battalions of recruits here, and then watch others make contributions in the Eastern Domain.
"I can save it in the next place." Wu Weisan's face was cloudy, but he finally made up his mind, and his face became hideous in an instant.
If the second lady agrees, several major shareholders of the Chamber of Commerce will ask for help, so they don't dare to make up their minds, I'm afraid that in the future, Nan'an Hou won't even ask him to take a battalion of soldiers.
"It's better not to die, and not too many." The second sister sat down idly, drinking the fragrant tea sent by the servant, the little girl who was less than fifteen years old, but her expression was quite leisurely, calm and calm.
β¦β¦
"This matter, Nan'an Hou Mansion next." After Wu Weisan came out of the sideways, his expression had changed significantly.
Looking at everyone, Wu Weisan said: "The Eastern Domain needs a lot of iron tools to open up pastures, and it also takes a lot of iron tools to make horseshoes from herding horses. Therefore, the prince wanted to invite the proprietor of Tiexing Zhang to go to the Eastern Domain to discuss the military and pastoral affairs, and what Jianzhou officials wanted to arrest people, tell them to wait, or go to the Eastern Domain to arrest people. β
Zhang Mingliang is also an important figure in Nan'an, and now he can only go to the Eastern Domain for a while, which will of course make Zhang Mingliang feel uncomfortable, but from the two perspectives of life and loss of temporary power, I believe that Zhang Mingliang will happily step on the Fu No. 1 passenger ship to the Eastern Domain.
For Wu Weisan's attitude, the group of businessmen present were quite satisfied.
Wang Yue targeted Zhang Mingming, mainly the dispute between the Jianzhou Iron Yard and the Tingzhou Iron Yard, and some personal grievances, and may also have the intention of expressing to all parties that he was not afraid of Xu Zixian, the Marquis of Nan'an.
No matter how it is calculated, the side of the Nan'an Hou Mansion is a passive response to the war, and it is of course gratifying for everyone to have such a responsibility and expression when the incident breaks out.
Great Wei can't talk about despising and suppressing businessmen, but if businessmen want to become bigger and stronger, the family must have some strong connections in officialdom...... It is useless to buy it with money, and at critical moments, when a hard cap is needed, no official will have a hard cap with his colleagues or superiors for copper money.
Only when officials are cultivated in the family can they be truly relied on.
And at this moment, there is a different meaning in the eyes of these merchants, now that the center of the Great Wei is focused on the Northern Expedition, the place is chaotic, and many merchants feel that danger is coming.
For the merchants of the Great Wei Dynasty, there was no special suppression, and there was no special care, if there was really chaos in the place, the strength of the Nan'an Hou Mansion, and the security and stability of the rear of the Eastern Domain, would be of great significance to the merchants themselves, as well as their commercial activities.
"The establishment of the state will be chaotic." Wu Weisan thought for a while and said to everyone: "The proprietors can let out the wind for us, and the firm can be transferred to Nan'an, and the Nan'an group will train to ensure the safety of the proprietors and the firm......
"Yes, Brother Wu is gracious." Lin Dingyi: "I will discuss with the elders in the family again whether I will move part of the shipyard from Quanzhou to the Eastern Domain." β
Yang Shizhi said: "Our Yang family is definitely going to the Eastern Domain, originally we were doing cloth business, I heard that the Eastern Domain has more than 100,000 acres of cotton fields, just rushing this one, we have to go." β
Wu Weisan nodded, said no more, and after going out, he said to the military commander: "Blow the trumpet, all the soldiers urgently assemble, and after a quarter of an hour, put on armor, hold training equipment, and follow me out of the camp." β
The military commander also knew what was happening, and was quite excited at the moment, and hurriedly ran to the barracks after agreeing loudly, and after a while, the loud sound of the military horn sounded in the barracks.
β¦β¦
Jianzhou Prefecture is one hundred and fifty miles away from Gukou and nearly two hundred miles away from Shuikou Nan'an...... But Li Tinghe never dared to speak out against it, since joining forces with King Zhao, Wang Yue was ten times more brutal than before, and dealt with the officials who did not do anything for many days, and used the two rows of big sticks in front of the state government to beat those officials to a blur, and then went home.
The state officials have this power, no matter how excessive Wang Yue does, the state envoy will not send impeachment to the governor, and can only let Wang Yue do it.
And Li Tinghe knew that in many cases, Wang Yue would secretly instruct the torturer to break the person's calf and leg bones with a wooden stick, and beat the stick to pieces, even if he found an orthopedic surgeon for treatment, he would become disabled and would no longer be able to walk normally for the rest of his life.
As for picking hamstrings, standing cages, pressing soil bags and other selfish and vicious things, Wang Yue also did a lot.
This Tianzhang Pavilion servant, who knows the military affairs of Jianzhou, was originally also a second-class jinshi, once did the imperial history, is famous for his honesty and honesty, and has repeatedly suggested that he will impeach the unjudicial officials, who knows that after more than ten years, it has become like this?
Li Tinghe not only will not speak out against it, but will also try his best to do a good job in this matter.
Other people's affairs have nothing to do with their own family, as long as they do what Wang Zhizhou instructs, and money rewards official promotions, these things are real benefits, conscience, but how much money is worth it?
"Then someone really wants to refuse to surrender?" Li Ting and the public servants around him are many of the state officials, including the front of the ya, the digger, the rod straight, the rank of the soldier, etc., all of whom are responsible for taking people and arresting people.
Generally speaking, when going to the countryside to do errands in the town, a few public servants are enough to frighten the people to tremble and dare not raise their voices.
Even if you go to those big clans with strong clan strength, send two Confucian officials, and lead a group of yaqian servants, you can do whatever you want.
As long as he wears official clothes and holds the Great Order, behind him is the representative of the Great Wei Dynasty, and no clan is strong enough to dare to confront the imperial court.
It had been too long to delay in this Nan'an town, and the aura of the people and merchants watching around him also made Li Tinghe quite uncomfortable.
In Jianzhou, the people in the yamen passed by, and the people around them were all fearful, trembling, walking on thin ice, for fear of being targeted by these viper-like people, and they would ruin their wealth at least and their homes at worst.
And in this Nan'an Town, people's eyes on Li Tinghe and others are quite complicated, there is contempt, hatred, disdain, anger, but the only thing that is not is fear.
This made Li Tinghe quite unhappy, and even faintly angry.
This is the complexity of people's psychology, if you start from the heart, Li Tinghe does not want to come out to harm others, but when he listens to the order to do these harmful things, if others are not afraid of themselves, he will be doubly angry, and he wants to harm others even more......
"Returning to the words of the Division...... It's really only the goods inside, and there are no idle people, etc., and our proprietor is not in the courtyard! "Zhang Mingliang is indeed hiding on the dock, not in the courtyard of Zhang's Iron Bank, but there are more than 20 guys, and the shopkeeper firmly blocks the door, and one is unwilling to easily let these public servants into the treasury and inner courtyard, and if they are messy, they will definitely lose their belongings.
Second, Zhang Mingming's wife, daughter, and son are all in the inner house, and the people of the firm don't want them to be alarmed, so the shopkeeper of the firm takes people to firmly protect the back house.
The shopkeeper of the firm prevaricated the people of Jianzhou, and looked anxiously into the distance, the people of the Lin family and the Yang family had all come, saying that they were going to Nan'an Courtyard to find people from the Hou Mansion to help, and so far there were still no people from the Hou Mansion coming, and a sense of sadness and despair emerged in the heart of the shopkeeper of the firm.
At the wharf, the warehouse, said that the Hou Mansion and several major shareholders together, the interests are the same, the honor and disgrace are shared, Nan'an Hou also specially set up a chamber of commerce, to determine the purpose of supporting each other and helping each other.
It is precisely because of this chamber of commerce that when Nan'anhou had not yet started, the proprietors of various families invested and spent a lot of money to build wharves and warehouses.
Now here in Nan'an, there are more than a dozen ships docked every day, many businessmen will be Mingzhou and Fuzhou to do the goods, as well as Jianzhou's goods directly to the Nan'an warehouse, and then from the Nan'an wharf ashore, directly from the Minjiang River to the sea, saving a lot of turnover and storage costs.
Some warehouses were simply contracted by raw silk merchants, who normally collected silk in the western Zhejiang states of Fujian Road, Jiangnan West Road and Liangzhejiang Road, which were far from the sea, and there were no wharves in many places, so ships could not dock.
Before that, they dispersed the silk from Fuzhou and Quanzhou to collect and transport away, Nan'an here after the warehouse wharf, it is a lot of time to save a lot of feet, many raw silk merchants directly contracted the warehouse, and then from here will be the summary of the packed raw silk transported away.
This inconspicuous wharf and market town, because of its location in Jinjin, the transshipment business is booming, and it can earn at least hundreds of thousands of yuan every year, even if each family shares profits, it is also a rich return.
What's more, the merchants felt that they were drawn into a relationship with the Nan'an Hou Mansion.
In the Great Wei Dynasty, merchants were neither deliberately suppressed nor had a superior status, and everything needed to be run by themselves.
Some businessmen were able to cling to civil officials or have certain friendships with military attachΓ©s.
Or this merchant family is desperately cultivating its own children, so that there are many civil and military officials in the family, and naturally establish the status of the family.
Or a long-term operation, immersing the family power into every corner of the Great Wei, the center of the imperial court, the local government, the civil and military officials, and the nobles of the clan...... Just like the Pu family, that is the top merchant family.
And these merchants in Nan'an Town are also rejoicing in order to cling to the Nan'an Hou Mansion, but at this moment, the shopkeeper of Zhang's Iron Bank did not notice that there were people from the Nan'an Hou Mansion to help, and there were inevitably negative emotions such as anger, disappointment, and hatred in his eyes.
The officials of Jianzhou have already pushed away the guys who were blocking them, and even used wooden sticks and iron rulers to pull these people open.
There were quite a few people who were bloodied with whips, and they had to get out of the way.
