Chapter 502: The strategy of delaying the army is not something that you can use alone

Although commerce is the last business in today's Ming Dynasty, and wealthy businessmen everywhere are often exploited by the government and even ignored by scholars, it does not prevent the rich businessmen on the rich side from constantly pursuing to become richer. Among the merchants in the world, the most famous is the Hui merchants of Huizhou Mansion and the Jin merchants of Shanxi, and because the Ming Dynasty now uses the method of opening the salt, the Jin merchants are close to the water and the building is the first to get the month, so the Jin merchants far overwhelm the Hui merchants, and almost monopolize the way of Xuanfu and Datong to open the grain for salt.

Bazhen Street is close to the General Military Mansion, and many people who asked about the regulations in the General Military Mansion but were closed to the door gathered here. However, even if they knew that there was still a governor living here, because the General Military Office sent people to seal this place and prevent merchants from entering and leaving, they had to sit and chat in some restaurants and teahouses at the intersection. Lu'an Mansion is a batch, Taiyuan Mansion is a batch, and Pingyang is another batch, and the clear tables are all talking about everything from military intelligence to officialdom, and from officialdom to business.

On Fang Qing's table were a few businessmen from Lu'an Mansion. The Fang family of Lu'an Mansion was famous a hundred years ago, but after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it showed a decline due to continuous migration orders. Now the roots of Lu'an Mansion have not been lost, and the Shangtun of Xuanfu is still operating, but it is no longer as good as those upstarts who are close to the water and have made a fortune by using the Chinese law to make a fortune.

Although Shandong Shanxi is only one word apart, but compared to other people's near-water buildings, he, the head of the house, has to react at least one day slower than others when he gets the news, and above the shopping mall, one day is enough to do a lot of things. If he hadn't happened to go to Lu'an Mansion to check the accounts, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to catch up with this feast. Therefore, he simply did not send any stewards, and came himself.

"In the past few years, the opening of the middle school was under the management of the town guard eunuch mansion, but this time it was changed to Wu'anhou, I'm afraid it won't be so convenient over there."

"It's not just a Wu'an Hou, haven't you heard that the factory man from the East Factory is also here?"

"The water in Xuanfu is very deep now, everyone has to be cautious, and that murderous Lord Zhang is not easy to mess with. I heard that he shot Arutai's son with an arrow in Xinghe this time, and tens of thousands of people were killed in one fire! This time, after we have honored the Quartet according to the established practice, he must also be thoughtful! ”

"The emperor has always trusted the prince, this time I have to talk to other people, the big head is always guarding the eunuch's house, I heard that the end goes straight to the palace. Can't get into the eunuch's mansion? Hehe, that's because you didn't find the right way......"

Hearing a shrewd-looking steward at the same table talking about another way to guard the eunuch's mansion, Fang Qing couldn't help but sneer secretly, thinking of what he had done for Zhang Yue when he was in Qingzhou in the past. Lu Feng has now commanded the East Factory, Zhang Yue didn't even take precautions for such a person at the beginning, let alone now? Seeing that these people were spitting and talking more and more, he moved his body back, and coldly saw another person rubbing up the upstairs that was already full. He recognized the young man at a glance, and his heart was suddenly overjoyed, and he quickly stood up.

"Young Master Fang." Lian Hu hurriedly rushed to the street after ordering wine and food at the Bazhen Pavilion, and found several restaurants and teahouses before finding here, and when he saw Fang Qing at this time, he stepped forward, "It's strange that I seemed to hear someone calling before, but it turned out to be you, fortunately, you also met the little five girls, otherwise you would have missed it." The young master asked me to bring you a message, he is now recuperating, and he will not see you for the time being, so you can rest easy. ”

Seeing Lian Hu saluting with a smile, he hurriedly turned around, Fang Qing's face was silent, but he immediately pondered the last four words in his heart - don't be impatient - Zhang Yue will never be untargeted, could it be that if the action is too big, something may happen? Thinking of the secrets of officialdom that he had heard after arriving here, he immediately decided to turn around and stay in the inn, and wait and see the direction first.

When the shrewd steward who was still talking about it just now saw this scene, he immediately raised his eyebrows, stood up and said with a smile: "I look at the little brother who passed the word very familiarly, since Fang Gongzi still has an inside line, why didn't he tell us earlier, so that he could bring everyone to make a fortune together!" You must know that the military rations needed this time will be at least hundreds of thousands of stones, and your Fang family alone will not be able to support it! ”

Fang Qing sat down in his seat casually, and said lightly: "It's not an inside line, it's Xiao Zhang's follower." Everyone heard what he just said, just a little restless. ”

"Ahem, I forgot, Lord Xiao Zhang was a fellow acquaintance in Qingzhou, Shandong, and he was in the same place as you. But this is all the love of the past, none of these officials are not greedy, listen to the warning given to you by others - don't be impatient, there are more than a dozen Jin merchants who got the news this time, if you are really as patient as he said, we can't even drink soup when others eat meat! ”

At this time, it was Lu Sanye, who was in charge of the Lu family in Lu'an Mansion, although he relied on the old and sold the old, but he still had some good intentions. Therefore, Fang Qing owed a debt and said: "It is true that business opportunities do not wait for people, but this time after all, it is a northern expedition to pay for food, and there is a subsidy in it, so I feel that these four words are correct." As someone just said, Xuanfu's current water is too deep, if we don't see it clearly and step on it rashly, I'm afraid that we won't just wet our shoes at that time. ”

Although he is young and young, after all, he is the real helmsman of the Fang family, and he is married to the daughter of the Su Songyang family, so listening to his words at this time, although there are some who disagree, but there are also thoughtful. So, compared with the enthusiasm of the other tables, these merchants from Lu'an Mansion quickly dispersed, and each went back to ponder the fame here.

Xuanfu is 350 miles away from Beijing, but Wanshijie and Xiao Wu arrived day and night, and after the initial mental energy passed, even when eating, they were fighting with their eyelids, and they couldn't eat a good or bad taste at all. After eating, because Wanshijie was in a hurry to leave, Zhang Yue and Xiao Wu sent him to the door, and saw someone with sleepy eyes get into the carriage, and the carriage left at the other end of the street at a gallop, so he drove Xiao Wu, who was also sleepy, to sleep.

When he entered his room, he picked up the notebook he had written and looked at it, and then took off his homely robes, changed into a set of official uniforms, and prepared to go out. When he got dressed and opened the curtain and went out, he heard a commotion outside. Soon, a long entourage of Meng Jun who had stayed here hurriedly rushed in through the second gate.

"Young Master Yue, the eunuch prince is here!"

Zhang Yue was about to go to the General Soldier's Mansion and tell Zheng Heng that everything was ready and he was just waiting for the east wind, but when he heard that the crown was coming, he couldn't help but be extremely surprised. Since the first time he arrived at the Xuanfu Mansion before, the crown had never visited him in private, so what was he doing now? Seeing that the crown swaggered into the door with a few retinues, he simply went down a few steps.

"It's not a coincidence that the prince came, I'm preparing to go to the General Soldier's Mansion."

Looking at the shiny official uniform on Zhang Yue's body, Wang Guan naturally knew that the other party was not perfunctory, but since he pulled down his face and went to the door, he naturally refused to let the person in front of him go away at this time, and smiled as soon as his eyes narrowed: "Our family will delay Lord Xiao Zhang for a while, and we will never miss your business." If you are willing to talk in this courtyard, our family doesn't care, the cold wind blew in the Great Sect for half a day that day, didn't you...... Sneezing ...... I heard that you are sick, and our family is also here to discuss important matters with you. ”

Hearing the loud sneeze of the crown, Zhang Yue sneered in his heart, and after thinking about it, he turned sideways and let the person into the room. After the guest sat down, he glanced at the clothes on the crown, and found that it was the Qilin Bai Ze brocade robe given by Qin, he had some scheming in his heart, and then asked lightly: "If the prince has something to say, please say it directly." ”

"Okay, we won't beat around the bush with you! Now that the emperor's will has been issued for several days, and the regulations have not yet been set, it is really not a solution. In the past, although it was said that our family was in charge of the eunuchs, but this year, the number is too large, and Lord Xiao Zhang is ordered to patrol the Xuanfu, so why don't you take a hand with our family? Wu Anhou should not have the time to take care of these affairs, as long as our family says it, he has no reason not to agree. If the military rations are done well this time, after Lord Xiao Zhang returns to the court, he will not only have face, but also the credit of the previous Shouxinghe, and the emperor will inevitably make up for it together. ”

Because of the news of the big blood change in the Xuanfu Guard of Jinyi Wei today, even if the crown is stupid, he knows that this time if he is not sure, a catastrophe will come, so he asked Liu Yongcheng Haishou of the Beijing Division for help, promised enough benefits, and on the other hand, he started Zhang Yue's idea. In his opinion, although Zhang Yue said that he was close to Lu Feng on the surface, the civil officials had always looked down on eunuchs, so it must be for outsiders to see. In addition, Zhang Yue must not understand the mystery of Xinghe's matter, as long as he uses the benefits of this salt profit to impress the other party, come to a delaying strategy, as long as he survives this pass, the benefit of Xu out is nothing.

It's only to blame that he was crazy at the beginning, how could he listen to people's demagoguery and make such a desperate plan, forgetting that Zhang Yue is the queen of the gate, and he is the master with a deep background? If that thing leaks out, he will die like his godfather Huang Yan!

After being immersed in the mansion and officialdom for so many years, even if Zhang Yue couldn't see anything else, he could see the tension hidden under the crown's smile, and he didn't understand what was going on in his heart. So, after arguing with each other, he pretended to accept the "kindness" of the crown with joy, and immediately sent the man to the door himself, but as soon as the carriage was out of sight, he put away his smiling face.

If you don't put you to death, how can you repay the grievances of the dead soldiers, how can you avenge the enemy's siege, how can you repay the pain of fear in my family, how can I repay the pain of my exhaustion! Repay virtue with virtue, repay grievances with grievances, small mustard can not care, but the big right and wrong must be clear!
