From spring to summer solstice, the city of Guangzhou became hot again, and pedestrians walked in a hurry, wiping the sweat off their heads as they walked. The number of merchants in the eighteen www.biquge.info th shop of the pen "fun" pavilion has increased a lot compared with half a year ago, and among the newly opened stores, there are many stalls that deal in shark fin or dried fish and other surfaces and foreign goods from the east and west.

In another time and space, the real prosperity of the eighteen-shop still depends on sea trade. At present, its commercial development has not yet reached the height of later generations, and there is a lot of room for development. After Fan Jin introduced Lin Haishan's line, several major merchants in the eighteenth shop did see the huge business opportunities contained in it. This kind of business opportunity is not only a question of how much money each family makes, but also the status of the entire eighteen shops and the relevant voice can be improved in the future. Therefore, they gave Fan Jin face and supported Yipinxiang, which was also based on this mutual benefit.

Through the guidance of Yipinxiang, the seafood that has been launched one after another has made people seek after seafood such as shark fin and abalone, and the sales of these seafood products are not bad with those foreign goods. And this is just the beginning, as long as the road is paved and the market is gradually occupied, the good days are obviously still to come.

In the past six months, relying on Ling Yunyi's praise, Yipinxiang has made a bloody way in the catering industry in Guangzhou, with a continuous flow of customers every day, and the order has been discharged for a month and a half. Among the women introduced by Lin Haishan, there is actually one who is very good at cooking, under the guidance of Fan Jin, and now he has become the chef of Yipinxiang, Liang Pandi can finally be liberated from the fumes in the kitchen, grasp the management every day, look at the account book, and live a leisurely life.

In the tent, Sister Hu sent a plate of cut watermelons to Fan Import, while Liang Pandi pulled the abacus and said: "Luoshan, another sum of gold was sent, and it was still the same request, salt and iron." ”

"Don't want food?"

"Don't." Liang Pandi sneered, "They think that they already have a lot of food in their hands now, enough to eat for some time, and their waists are also stiff, and they talk to us very loudly." Said that if you don't bring in the most important salt and iron, you won't do business with us. ”

"If you don't do it, you won't do it. Do they still think they're uncles? In the past six months, I have almost figured out the terrain on the periphery of Luoshan, and the map has been drawn almost the same, although I can't enter the hinterland, there is no difference. Picking wood and selling grain, there is more contact inside and outside the mountain, and the obstacles of the terrain have been reduced a lot compared to the past, and those are the places where they transport materials and deliver them, and when the fight starts, that is their hiding place. The roads in the mountains are difficult to travel, so many supplies, can they still fly with them? ”

Liang Pandi said: "Are you going to do it?" That's a good thing. Those few barbarians in charge of procurement, every time I look at the delivery, I am a thief, and last time there was a bastard who directly took out a handful of gold and said that he would only accompany him for one night, and the gold was mine. mom! If it weren't for the big picture, I wouldn't have broken more than one of his hands. ”

Fan Jin nodded and said, "It's time to fight!" There are always more men and fewer women in the mountains, and their circle is closed, and after a long time, everyone will become relatives, and it will be very troublesome to get married again. And they are unwilling to accept people from outside the mountain to come in, so they have to think of other ways, when they meet someone with a face, they will find a way to marry, if it is weak, they will rob it. The county town dares to kidnap people during the day, anyway, the local people have oil paint on their faces, and they look like demons, no one can recognize who they are right to, and it is difficult to save the official. This kind of thing happens a lot of times, and the local government can't do anything about it, and even some daughters will suffer. Therefore, many young women do not dare to go out at will, because they are afraid of being caught. The most hateful thing is that some people are still saying good things about this kind of behavior, saying that the natives have no choice, they also have to continue the incense, and they also have their own needs, which is helpless, and they can't be blamed. On the contrary, it is strange that women should not go out. ”

"Huh? And such people? ”

"It's not surprising that idiots are everywhere. As a matter of fact, some people have already felt that the army is going to take action against Luoshan, and it is a trend to use force from the establishment of 10 battalions to the gradual advancement of the garrison and the encouragement of the reclamation of nearby mountain fields. There are also people who run to the front of the army to say things for the natives, hoping that the army will be heavenly and will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and the jade will be burned. There are also people who want to report to Luo Shan, but unfortunately Luo Shan doesn't believe it, and it is useless for them to say it. ”

Where there are people, there are grievances, and they are also inseparable from the entanglement of interests. Ling Yunyi drastically implemented a whip method in Guangzhou, and with the cooperation of Fan Jin as the vanguard and the army yamen as the backing, the Guangzhou government has completely used a whip method to manage, and the work of land inspection, measurement, and tax determination is all being done.

In fact, there is no shortage of talents in the imperial court, and in the current social environment, if excellent people want to get ahead, only taking refuge in the imperial court is the best way out. It's just that in the constraints of the system and environment, most talents can't give full play to their abilities, and they don't want to show their edges too much.

Fan Jin has the support of Lingyunyi, and the management model is not limited to the ancient law, and some encouragement systems in later generations, as well as the division of responsibilities and powers, have been introduced, which has greatly encouraged enthusiasm. Those people are willing to come out to do things, and if they don't do things, they will affect their jobs, no matter what they think in their hearts, they dare not be as lazy as before at work.

The sum of several forces makes the work really effective. Guangzhou's silver and in-kind income this year will be higher than in previous years, and after the autumn harvest, this new law will be implemented in the surrounding prefectures and counties. If Luo Shan wins, Ling Yunyi's authority will be unmatched for a while, and they naturally want to restrain him and prevent him from doing things.

Fortunately, there is half a year to strategize, and the strength to support the attack on Luoshan is not small. From the development of wasteland in the surrounding area, to the legend that there are gold mines in the mountains, and even the attraction of the interests of Luoding Zhili Prefecture, many large households and landlords have concentrated their resources in Luoshan

。 Now in the vicinity of Luoshan, there are already many housekeepers or family members of wealthy families who have brought displaced people to reclaim the land, and trade with the mountains by the way. Because of the problem of land reclamation, the mountain people have deep contradictions with outsiders, and there will be conflicts from time to time.

Ling Yunyi deliberately took a blind attitude towards this conflict, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the big families even more. Whether it is to preserve the capital of the resources invested in advance, or to vent the anger, the gentry who support the use of troops against Luoshan are no weaker than those of the opposition.

In order to monopolize trade profits, these people have spared no effort to crack down on foreign smuggling, and with Lin Haishan's henchmen, Luoshan's trade line has basically been choked.

In terms of public opinion, Fan Jin's public opinion war with Yipinxiang has been quite effective, and many scholars are attracted by the stories of these blind girls, and their views on Luo Shanman are gradually deteriorating. Fan Jin is very skilled in the guidance of public opinion and emotional control, and under his arrangement and guidance, there is now a strong anti-Luoshan barbarism in the city of Guangzhou.

For this kind of emotion, most people don't understand its power, but they just think that Luo Shanman is very annoying, and he has done a lot of bad things and has not been punished by the government, which is obviously against justice. When talking in private, they are also infected by this emotion, and they amplify this emotion to each other...... The seeds of evil thoughts have already been planted, and they are very close to blossoming and bearing fruit.

On the stage, the blind woman known as Shigu played the pipa, singing and playing was much more proficient than at the beginning, and the words were already very generous. The story sung has also changed from Juliet's martyr's record to Fan Jin's newly compiled Yang Jiajiang's romance.

Although she is a woman, she sings the story of the Jin Ge Iron Horse, and there are also iron horses highlighting the heroism of swords and guns. Especially among the scholars who listened to the music, many of them knew the tragic experience of this singing woman, and they felt more empathetic when they heard her sing the story of the battle with Fanbang. A young scholar looked at the woman on the stage stupidly. Although she is not stunning, her appearance is also delicate, especially her pitiful appearance, which aroused the courage of the scholar to protect her. His eyes were motionless, his hands were clenched into fists, his teeth were clenched, and when the woman finished singing, the scholar shouted violently:

"Miss Ah Qiao sings well! Like those Fanbangs who have no heavenless empire, they don't teach them a good lesson, how can they raise their prestige and protect the country? Don't talk about the past, let's talk about the present. The barbarians attacked the state and broke the county, kidnapped people during the day, killed officials and beheaded officials, and there was no king's law. A poor woman like Miss Ah Qiao was killed by them! Ladies and gentlemen, how can our generation sit back and watch the barbarians run rampant when they read the books of the sages and seek the way to govern the country? If I were to be an official one day, I would have cured the sins of this barbarian, knowing that the law of the land is not only for ordinary people, but also for people outside the law. ”

"Yes, little barbarian, what can you do? Don't beat him, but when we are afraid of him. Fight and fight, tens of thousands of officers and soldiers will kill him, and I am afraid that I will not be able to beat him? ”

"What little barbarian, isn't it Luo Shanman? I heard that there is a gold mine in Luoshan, but these barbarians can't open the gold mine themselves, and they don't let others open it, how can there be such a reason? Give him some color and let them hand over the mine quickly! ”

"I'll tell you, the woman in the Luoshan barbarians......"

Under the influence of alcohol and blood, many scholars echoed and expressed their approval of the idea of starting a war. Guangdong is actually a province with relatively complicated public opinion, and it is a multi-ethnic mixed population, and maintaining stability and maintaining order is also an important task of the governor of Guangdong and Guangzhou. In the past, the governors of the previous dynasties could not use troops against Luoshan, and there were also considerations in this regard, once the hatred of the barbarians was aroused, it would become very bad.

In addition to the guidance of public opinion, another important task of Fan Jin's layout in Guangzhou is to ensure the stability of public opinion. If it is found that someone is trying to turn this war into an extermination campaign against the imperial court, this public opinion must be reversed. Even if Ling Yunyi is the governor, he must also consider the impact and consequences, if it really attracts a strong backlash from all sides, the battle will not be able to continue.

Fortunately, Fan Jin's arrangement is more skillful, and the contradictions are always focused on Luo Shanman, and he does not discuss the question of whether the barbarians are good or bad, but only emphasizes one point: they must be deferential. For example, the story of the Yang family's romance downplayed the ethnic issues of the Song and Liao countries in Fan Jin's adaptation, but emphasized the Khitan's disobedience to the Song. It is true that as a country, the Khitan has no obligation to be obedient to the Song, but in the story, Fan Jin set Liao as a subordinate of the Song Dynasty, and his status is the same as that of the vassal state of the Ming Dynasty, so disobedience is a big problem, and it must be fought. When people listen to stories, no one will be idiotic enough to use history to examine the evidence, and they will be led to think that the problem is that they are not polite enough to the Song Dynasty and do not know how to do big things, so they have to fight.

In a complex environment, it is not easy to do this. Most of the scholars were carried away by the hot-blooded and pitiful girl, and some of them were more direct to their hearts, not even thinking about right and wrong, and only thinking about Luo Shan's interests. Now it seems that in the public opinion link, Ling Yunyi can rest assured that even if he really fights, the opposition will not be able to suppress the support. Just like in Yipinxiang Restaurant, if anyone openly opposes Ta Luoshan, they will immediately be beaten by a group of scholars.

Sister Hu took Fan Jin's hand and said, "Brother Jin, that scholar likes Ah Qiao very much, why don't you let Ah Qiao make him small?" Although he is not very rich, he is not too poor, at least he can marry a concubine, and there is always something to eat at home. If you do him this favor, he will definitely be grateful to you, and he will definitely support the war in the future. ”

"The problem is that Ah Qiao himself is unwilling, I can't force it. What's more, his lady's temperament is not very smooth, and Ah Qiao is like this, she will suffer if she marries, right? ”

Liang Pandi smiled, "What that big lady looks like, Ah Qiao won't agree, she has one in her heart, even if she knows that she can't look forward to it, as long as she looks forward to it like this." Besides, although she is a singer in Yipinxiang, the guests will be beaten even if they touch her, and there are people waiting for her to eat and drink, which is similar to being a young lady, so she is not in a hurry to get married. It's not just her, these girls are almost the same, although they can't see it, but they will think about it, the person in their hearts is the personable Pan An Song Yu, as for what it looks like, they don't care. ”

Fan Jin smiled awkwardly, "Am I much worse than Pan An?" ”

The three of them laughed for a while, and a runner knocked on the door, saying that the guests came to visit, and when they were invited in, they saw that it was Sa Shizhong. His face was full of excitement, and when he entered the door, he said to Fan Jin: "Brother Fan, hurry up and pack your things and prepare to go to Luoshan." I've got a boat here, and I'm waiting for you. ”

Fan Jin was originally lazily leaning against the wall and half-lying and half-sitting, but at this time, his expression was also correct, "What? Things have changed? ”

"No, things have changed beyond imagination. Someone reported to the official, saying that the natives had captured a scholar, but after a check, it turned out that he was actually a showman. ”

"Xiucai? What do the natives do when they catch shows? Extortion? Fan Jin pondered and asked, "Who is the person who reported to the official?" ”

"Xiucai's lady is stronger than those who run in your store, I'm afraid it's not a dominatrix, if I were her father-in-law, I'm afraid I'll escape faster. According to the mother-in-law, people were taken into the mountains, whether they were tied up or escaped, in short, there was an excuse. ”

Fan Jin said: "This is very good, I'll clean it up, Brother Sa eat something, and we'll go together." ”

Sa Shizhong shook his head: "It's too late, a few lines should be collected, there is still some finishing work to be done, there is really no time to sit again, Brother Fan, please be neat, we will see you at the dock." ”

Sister Hu took Fan Jin's hand, her eyes were full of grievances and reluctance, and said, "Brother Jin...... Luo Shan heard that it was very dangerous, there were barbarians and miasma...... If you don't go, can you? I can't bear you. ”

"Of course not, where can I not go to such a big thing, you are good to watch the store with the third sister, and I am responsible for harming people. When it's time for the Chinese New Year, I'll accompany you home. Third sister, inform Guan Qing Gu Bai that it's time to close the net. No grain is allowed to be put in, but salt and iron...... Let him dream, there won't be a single or two! ”
