Chapter 438: The Man Behind the Scenes
No matter what you do, someone has to cooperate, which is what people often say, but today Ye Xun really didn't expect Shen Changshan to be so cooperative, a fake pretentiousness, so that the silver taels he wanted to raise suddenly tripled.
While Ye Xun was relieved in his heart, he also had to sigh, these uncles are really fucking rich!
There is no free lunch in the world, after receiving the donation, Ye Xun immediately took the donation list and told the salt merchants that in the future, whether it is in Jiangnan or Liaodong, or on the sea, the imperial court will give priority to these businessmen who have contributed to the construction and development of the imperial court, and each family will issue a pennant to show recognition.
It can be said that this dinner was very successful, not only did Ye Xun make the ditch full of trenches, but the salt merchants also got the promised promise they wanted from Ye Xun.
Some people may suspect that Ye Xun is taking the opportunity to make money, but it won't be long before Ye Xun will tell them with practical actions that Ye Xun is definitely talking about those who have helped him.
The salt merchants all left, but Shen Changshan was left behind by Ye Xun.
"Brother Shen, I really want to thank you for this incident."
There is no too much orthopedics, Ye Xun is sincerely grateful to Shen Changshan for this righteous act, not that Ye Xun is really short of money, but the construction of the navy and shipyard is very money-burning, and now the profits brought by opening the sea and trade are not obvious, and the court is using money everywhere, so Ye Xun must use all means to make money, if the reputation is not good, it is not good, anyway, that thing can't be eaten.
"Huh! My father-in-law is serious, because I also operate shipping in Xia, so I know that the initial investment in this business is very large, and I only did what I should do, and with my understanding of my father-in-law, my father-in-law will not let me work hard in Xiabai, you say yes! Haha..."
"Haha... Ye likes to deal with straightforward people like Brother Shen, don't say thank you, there is something I want to ask Brother Shen, as far as I know, there is a shipyard in Jinling, where can more than a thousand materials be built? ”
According to historical records, the big ship that Zheng He took when he went to the West was built in Jinling Shipyard, and there are tourist attractions at the site of Longjiang Bao Shipyard in later generations.
Shen Changshan shook his head and said, "There are also shipbuilders there, but according to the regulations of the imperial court, it is not allowed to build large ships with more than 1,000 materials, let alone sea ships."
Ye Xun remembered that the navigation charts and some shipbuilding drawings left by Zheng He were later burned by Liu Daxia, the secretary of the military department of the Hongzhi Dynasty.
Fortunately, the old guy didn't catch up with Ye Xun's crossing, otherwise he would have to be pinched to death by Ye Xun, so is there such a scourge?
Time has passed, and now Ye Xun has no place to send no matter how angry he is!
Jinling's Longjiang Bao Shipyard is bound to expand its scale, but it will only wait for Ye Xun to go to Jinling.
Now whether it is overt or secretly, Ye Xun is hiring shipbuilding technicians with high salaries, but Ye Xun is a halfway monk, and he is not as good as a deep-rooted veteran maritime merchant like Shen Changshan, so he has to help the Shen family for many things.
While talking to Shen Changshan, he walked downstairs, but saw Xiao Luo holding a thin little girl eating.
Xiao Luo has washed the girl's face and changed her clothes, although the girl's face is still malnourished, but the smart big eyes are very lovely.
Ye Xun is usually too busy, so most of the time, Xiao Lu can only stay alone in the tent or in the carriage, even if she doesn't say it herself, Ye Xun can understand the feeling of boredom, and now Xiao Xiao has saved a little girl, just right, it can be regarded as finding something for her to do.
Shen Changshan said goodbye and left, Xiao Xiao was a little nervous and just wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Ye Xun with a smile.
"Don't say anything, just like it"
As soon as Ye Xun's words fell, a guard hurriedly ran in outside the door.
"Father-in-law, there was a rebellion in the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, a group of officers and soldiers of the guard suddenly turned against the officers and soldiers guarding the Imperial Mausoleum, the officers and soldiers were caught off guard and were caught off guard, the Imperial Mausoleum has been lost, and the defenders are now fighting fiercely with the rebels, please make a decision quickly"
Ye Xun frowned, from the time Qian Qianyi sent the news to the real rebellion in Fengyang, it was only a long time, obviously before Qian Qianyi got the news, that side was ready to launch.
Under normal circumstances, there is a rebellion in the Fengyang Imperial Mausoleum, no matter who is an official here, no matter what the reason is, this big black cauldron will not be able to escape, and the final outcome is likely to be the destruction of the Nine Clans.
It's a pity that this situation will never happen to Ye Xun, but the necessary posture still needs to be done.
"The herald, the generals at all levels who originally came to discuss tomorrow must arrive in Fengyang before tomorrow night, otherwise the military law will be engaged."
"Send the order to the Fengyang General Army and the prefect, and make every effort to exterminate the rebels, and the rebels must not be allowed to escape, and the Duke will arrive later"
There will definitely be unlucky people, but it will never be him Ye Xun.
It's getting late today, just get the order out, there's no need to rush overnight.
After issuing the order, Ye Xun took Xiao Xiao and the little girl back to the temporary residence of the mansion.
On the carriage, Ye Xun listened to Xiao Xiao call the girl's name, and couldn't help but be stunned, and wanted to ask carefully, it's just a three-year-old girl, it's already very good to know what her name is, so what can you say too much?
"Yes! Could it be that this little girl is the future Liu Rus? Hehe! Qian Qianyi, that guy just got out, but this little girl appeared next to him, could it be that this is also the will of God? ”...
The night is getting deeper and deeper, but the lights of Yangzhou City are not much less, many places are still singing and dancing, people come and go, according to the words of later generations, the nightlife has just begun.
There is a row of official ships moored on the wharf in Yangzhou, the ships are not very large, they are all patrol ships of the Yangzhou Inspection Department, and Ye Xun's subordinates were transported across the river by these ships.
I don't know if it was the Huai'an Mutiny, or the sudden mutiny in Fengyang, these official ships of the Inspection Department are all looking like they are facing a great enemy today.
The main ship was even more heavily guarded, and the deck was full of officers and men of the inspection department who were patrolling around.
In the cabin, several sturdy men who looked like generals stood on both sides, but in the middle sat a man in a brocade robe with a veil.
"Venerable, the news has already spread, will the eunuch really be fooled?"
can be called so, except for Xu Hongru, can there be that? This guy made Ye Xun have to admire, not only was he an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, but he was also elusive, and he launched so much power that he didn't even catch a shadow, which is really incredible.
In fact, it doesn't seem difficult to understand if you think about this matter carefully, because Ye Xun has offended too many people, especially the rich and official class of the Ming Dynasty, there is almost no one who does not hate Ye Xun, and under the protection of these people openly and secretly, Xu Hongru can turn danger into disaster again and again.
Just like this time, if it weren't for someone cooperating with Xu Hongru, how could he make such a big move in Jiangnan?
And the reason why these people protect and cooperate with Xu Hongru is because he has the strength to kill Ye Xun.
To put it bluntly, it's just taking advantage of each other...
