Chapter 759: Lingnan's Dark Tide
To be honest, it is very rude to talk to guests like this, and there is a smell of "you came at the wrong time".
But Leng Feng knew that the Feng family would not say such a thing to himself, so it should be something that happened in Lingnan.
"Is there something happening in Lingnan?"
Feng Zhidai nodded: "Before Lingnan vigorously developed river transportation and shipping, to be honest, this is a channel for thieves to make money. Not only did our Feng family earn a lot of money, but some other Tujia families also made a lot of money. ”
Li Tai smiled: "If you make money and have strength, do you have ambitions?" Are they going to overturn your Feng family? ”
Feng Zhidai smiled bitterly and nodded: "Almost." ”
Li Ke looked at Li Tai with a novel eye: "Qingque'er, I didn't expect you to be so smart?" How can you see it so accurately? ”
Li Tai pouted: "Anyway, my intelligence has always been higher than you and your eldest brother!" ”
Li Tai is not complacent, his intelligence is not only among the royal family, but also in the Tang Dynasty.
Because of this, he was able to get a lot of Leng Feng's knowledge in just over ten years, and even extended it to many achievements of his own.
Hearing Feng Zhidai say this, Leng Feng set up a table on the shore and invited Feng Zhidai to tea, ready to listen carefully to him about the situation in Lingnan.
When he came to Lingnan, Lingnan was still a hall of the Feng family, and although the remaining small families were ambitious, they did not have the strength to realize their ambitions.
Why is this the way it is?
"It's still money that is to blame, Lingnan still maintains the tradition of bartering things, and the strength of each family is divided, and only strength is seen. But now, if you want to set a standard for the development of maritime business, you have to introduce Datang's money. With the money circulating...."
Listening to Feng Zhidai's explanation, Leng Feng understood that the changes in Lingnan turned out to be the economic pot.
The composition of the Lingnan forces is like a company, and the Feng family holds more than 50% of the shares, so they can naturally do whatever they want.
However, the Feng family was strong and had a large overhead, especially after the establishment of the trade route with the Central Plains, Lingnan was no longer so simple, and gradually there were habits of "enjoyment" and other expenses. Although the Feng family is still making steady progress, the progress is very slow.
On the contrary, some small families took this opportunity to start vigorously developing their own strength. As long as there is money, there are people to follow, and there is strength.
‘.... That's what it looks like, the dried fruits, jadeite and other luxury goods sold by Lingnan to the Central Plains can make a lot of money. In addition to the Feng family, there are five relatively large families, among which the Yang family is the most radical. It didn't move to the surface, but....'
Feng Zhidai hesitated for a moment before continuing: "But they obviously have the intention of establishing themselves as kings in Lingnan and re-isolating themselves from the Central Plains. ”
After speaking, Feng Zhidai looked at Leng Feng worriedly.
He knew that Leng Feng's position in the Tang Dynasty was very important, and he himself especially supported the Feng family's loyalty to the Central Plains.
At this time, there was actually this incident.
Leng Feng didn't speak, but Li Ke sneered: "Lingnan is the land of the Tang Dynasty, how can they let them come nonsense?" These guys seem to be tired and crooked, in my opinion, it is better to simply destroy them, and save them from jumping again! ”
When Li Ke said this, there was a faint bloodthirsty charm on his body. This made Feng Zhidai surprised, this Royal Highness the prince is serious!
Li Tai stretched out his hand and tugged at Li Ke, signaling him not to talk more.
Li Ke is used to being hot-blooded, but he is different. He knew that these little families had a need for their existence.
The division of power in Lingnan cannot be a complete Feng family, otherwise, who can guarantee whether the descendants of the Feng family will still be loyal to the Tang Dynasty after hundreds of years? The current situation is very good, and even, the Feng family's power should shrink a little more.
As long as the Feng family has the final say in Lingnan for one day with the deterrent power of the Central Plains, then the Feng family will not rebel for a day.
Although he studied physical chemistry, when he encountered such a thing, he was even faster than Li Chengqian.
Leng Feng also noticed Li Tai's small movements, and couldn't help but laugh secretly.
Turning his head, Leng Feng said to Feng Zhidai: "Knowing your distress, I have always believed in your Feng family's feelings for the Central Plains, these people's intention to split the Tang Dynasty is indeed hateful, if you don't knock it, it won't stop." You can arrange it, and say to the outside world that I am the Chin Cha of the Central Plains, and it is much better for me to deal with such things than you wrestle. ”
The entire Lingnan barely has the strength to confront Datang. Some simple small families can only bare their teeth when they don't attract the attention of the Central Plains, if Datang really intervenes, it's strange that they don't clamp their tails!
Feng Zhidai was waiting for Leng Feng's words.
Having lived in Chang'an for so many years, he was too familiar with the imperial court. As an extension of imperial power, the imperial court must always maintain the image of the arbiter. Except for some top families, the rest of the people had better leave the matter to the imperial court.
In this way, not only the procedure is legal, but they are also able to express their loyalty to the imperial court.
What's more, when the imperial court comes forward, the deterrence of these small families is the greatest, and their Feng family only needs to be responsible for singing white faces.
In this way, it can not only have the effect of deterring small families, but also will not attract too much hatred.
No matter how you say it, it's also a piece of land to live, and it's always bad to be too stiff.
Leng Feng also knows this truth, in addition to handing over the two ironclad ships when he came to Lingnan, he also has to relax here for a while, and it is not okay not to solve the potential chaos in Lingnan.
After knowing what happened in Lingnan, Feng Zhidai led Leng Feng and the others to Feng's house.
The Feng family is still the same, except for the larger scale, it is not too luxuriously decorated.
Honor and disgrace are not shocked, which is Feng An's characteristic.
Because of this, the Feng family was able to maintain the identity of the overlord of Lingnan under his leadership.
If it weren't for some changes caused by economic development, no matter how many small families could jump, it would not be possible to pose any threat to the Feng family in terms of strength.
Lingnan is very hot, and this time is the hottest time in Lingnan, so Leng Feng, Li Tai and others have changed into short clothes and short sleeves.
To maintain your demeanor when it's so hot is simply to find guilt. Some stubborn officials who were assigned to Lingnan soon couldn't stand it and got sick or something, most of them just wore too many clothes.
Suffocated.
The small courtyard where Leng Feng once lived here is still there, and it seems that it was specially cleaned before he came.
After Leng Feng left, this small courtyard did not live in anyone else except for the fixed sweeping.
This is Feng An's expression of Leng Feng's friendship, and it is also a kind of respect.
Even if Leng Feng doesn't come back to Chang'an again, this courtyard will not let others live.
Unless until the day he and Leng Feng both burp.
