Chapter 258: Easy to Take

Pu Shougeng has been very proud recently, getting rid of many dissatisfied Han merchants in the past, and confiscating countless family property, gold and silver, anyway, this crime of collaborating with the enemy is pressed, and no one can turn over. These Han merchants were not disrespectful to him, or dared to offend him, because the dissatisfaction caused by the second sharing of military expenses was just a deliberate excuse.

These Han businessmen have been doing business in Quanzhou for many years, and they have made a lot of money by cooperating with him, and at the same time they have handed over more money to him, so why did he want to get rid of these people? This has to be liquidated from the beginning, and these Han merchants who were eliminated used to have a lot of contact with the big officials in the Lin'an Dynasty, and some people have also taken Pu Shougeng's eye medicine, and he has remembered these things for many years.

The Great Song Dynasty has been completely finished, and the promise of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, not to move his Pu clan for thirty years, made him feel young again, and began to plan for the future of Quanzhou from the heart. At this time, his fellow Hu people already had nearly 100,000 permanent residents, but he felt that it was a little small, and if necessary, he could build a new city near the port for his people to live and develop.

The Jiang family, the largest family in shipping, has withdrawn from Quanzhou, and almost all the industries have been half-sold and half-given to him, at the cost of more than 20,000 war horses given to Quanzhou by the Yuan people, and also got a dry stock in the port of Annan, this business is very profitable.

Out of the belief in the supremacy of money, there is nothing that Pu Shou Geng can not sell, if it is not sold, the price must be low. War horses have the same effect, if the price is right, those generals of the Yuan army will secretly get more.

There is also the defeat of Boyan's army in Guangzhou, the defeat of the South China Sea Fleet and the bravery of Zhu Qing, of course, someone specifically reported to Pu Shougeng, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, thinking that Boyan's defeat was only temporary, and the final result would definitely end in the fall of the Song Dynasty.

This is not his blind trust in Yuan Bing, but that he has been in the officialdom for so many years, and he knows too well about the Song Army and the officials of the Song Dynasty.

More than 50 kinds of silk fabrics, more than 40 kinds of ceramics, more than 60 kinds of metals, miscellaneous goods and medicines exported through Quanzhou, involving more than 160 large and small commercial houses of Han merchants, and more than 300 workshops in the local and surrounding areas, this is the capital that Pu Shougeng is proud of.

The goods imported from dozens of countries are rich in variety, especially dozens of spices and gemstones, which are the true love of the world's dignitaries, and being able to control the transactions in Quanzhou is equivalent to holding the arm of the God of Wealth, and it is rare to get rich if you want to get rich.

Pu Shougeng has a problem of saving money, as long as the money in his pocket, when he goes out, it is always extremely difficult and difficult, but once it involves high-ranking officials in the court, he was extremely generous at that time, so the officials in Lin'an at that time said good things about Pu Shougeng.

Now that the court in charge has changed, the officials of the Yuan people are more barbaric, and they will definitely be more greedy in the future.

The Liu family, which has more than a dozen silk workshops, can be said to be one of the best families in the Han Dynasty, not only in Quanzhou, but also in Fuzhou Lin'an and other places in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are countless industries, can be said to be the largest family in the silk industry.

If I take the Liu family's business and industry, it can really double my wealth, but ...... There are too many people involved, and the raw material merchants and workshops all over the country recognize the Liu family, and if they don't do it well, it can also cause a shortage of goods.

If the silk items can't be on the ship, it will cause a chain reaction, and it will delay the return of foreign merchant ships, so how can we take the Liu family! While Pu Shougeng was thinking about how to swallow the Liu family's industry, Wei Yue had already reached a consensus with the Liu family, and like the other two Han merchants, he would prepare weapons in private, waiting for the day when Zhao Tianyou attacked the city.

Fifty warships sailed on the sea, and it was impossible to completely hide their tracks, and only by going deep into the blue sea area and avoiding the merchant ships traveling near the sea could they form a surprise attack on Quanzhou.

When Zhao Tianyou blocked the harbor of Quanzhou and the gunboats occupied four large docks, Pu Shougeng of Quanzhou City was still taking a nap at home, and the sudden attack made him unclear, but fortunately, the city guards closed the city gate and did not let Zhao Tianyou occupy the port and the city in one day.

"Do you know where it's from?"

Pu Shougeng stared at his two sons, originally one led the troops to be responsible for the order of the port, and the other was responsible for patrolling and controlling the security in the city, when Zhao Tianyou suddenly attacked the port, the younger son was not in the port, but in the city to have fun.

"Father, the South China Sea Fleet from Hong Kong Island is the one who defeated Zhu Qing and Zhang Hongfan, and their leader is called Zhao Tianyou."

"How many people did Zhao Tianyou bring? Hundreds of cargo ships in the harbor, tens of thousands of sailors, did no one resist them? What about our own fleet? ”

"They only have 50 boats and 20,000 people, but my father, they only fired a dozen cannons, and they sank our five big ships, where do the other ships dare to move."

Pu Shougeng patted the case and said: "Within dozens of miles around the east of the city, there are more than a dozen gathering areas of my clan, with more than 100,000 residents. Quite a year later, Zhang Shijie led hundreds of thousands of troops to come, and it was not that he couldn't take half a step forward after besieging the city for two months, and the people who came were ......"

"Adults are not good, adults are not good, please get out of the city quickly and avoid ......"

From outside the gate, a herald ran into a herald, shouting out of breath.

"What's wrong? Let's be clear! ”

"The South City Gate and the South City Gate have been opened, the enemy has attacked, and the city guards and the cavalry of the Yuan Army have gone to meet the enemy, but, but ......"

"But what, hurry up?"

"The general of the Yuan army took his cavalry and went around to Xicheng to forcibly open the city gate, and he has already run!"

"Someone, who did it, I'm angry, I'm angry."

Pu Shougeng immediately sent his two sons to lead the troops to continue to the south city to block it, and he led a group of his men to the east city gate, preparing to leave the city from the east gate and go to the gathering place of the Hu people.

Not long after leaving the mansion, the main road to Dongcheng was blocked by a sentry of men and horses, it was an alliance formed by several Han merchants, led by Wei October.

"Master Pu, with so many soldiers, but you have to go out of the city!"

Pu Shougeng was a little puzzled on the horse, why didn't this kid Wei October follow the merchant ship to Annan, and how could he appear in Quanzhou City.

"Wei October, what do you want to do? I treat your Jiang family well, but did you bring someone to block my way? ”

Wei Yue smiled and said: "Master Pu, you treat the Jiang family well, that's the Jiang family's business, I came today just a Han person, on behalf of all Han businessmen, I want to slaughter you Hu people who eat people and don't spit out bones!" ”
