Chapter 33: The Mao Mansion is in a Shocking Situation
No matter what you say, this person in Mo Ya is still the son of the current spokesperson of the Huizhou Mo family in the inland. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But despite this, it would be wishful thinking to meet the old shipowner in his capacity.
At sea, the old shipowners are the first, and the Mo family is second, but the two are equally divided inland.
The main reason for this is that the two families have different centers of gravity.
With the recommendation of Mo Yanei, Zhu Houzhao can only see the spokesperson of the old shipowner in the inland at most.
This person's surname is Mao Mingfeng, it is said that he is the righteous son of the old ship owner, and is in charge of all the business of the old ship owner in the interior, including the contacts with the people in the Ming Dynasty, and the sale of overseas stolen goods is handled by this person, and he is a real power figure.
Zhu Houzhao is very curious, there are many things in the palace to take in his son, for example, Liu Jin once recognized Xiao Jing as his godfather, although Xiao Jing didn't like him very much, but for Zhu Houzhao's face, he still pinched his nose and admitted it.
But most of this kind of thing is something that only eunuchs and eunuchs who have no fertility can do, and normal people who want to do this are almost the same as accepting a few goddaughters.
When Mo Yanei heard Zhu Houzhao say this, he grinned and explained: "This matter has to start with your court.
When the old shipowner had not yet made a fortune, he committed a serious crime, and he had no choice but to find Nanyang, but his family, wife, children, and children were all arrested by the government, and they still don't know whether they are alive or dead.
However, after so many years, with the ferocious urine nature of the official prison, most of these old and weak people will not survive. ”
"So he recognized a godson?" Zhu Houzhao was surprised, if there is no son, he can be reborn, although most of the men on the sea are men, but it is still easy to grab one or two women to have a son.
Mo Yanei smiled and said, "You don't understand this, do you?" ”
He didn't know Zhu Houzhao's true identity, he only knew that he was a more favored guard, but what an official the garrison was, in his eyes was similar to a sesame mung bean.
Therefore, after being released from the captive status, his domineering temperament became ill again, so that he did not have the slightest awe when he talked to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao pressed the urge of his subordinates to beat people, and then motioned to Mo Yanei to continue.
"You're too young to have the same fortune as the old shipowner. This kind of thing is just a matter of power distribution, think about it, after recognizing the godson, the interests of all efforts are integrated, and the possibility of the godson betraying at the critical moment is much smaller than that of his subordinates?
With a godson like Mao Feng, there are at least ten old shipowners! ”
After Mo Yanei's explanation, Zhu Houzhao understood a little.
In this era, it is simply unrealistic to set up a joint-stock system, and only the family system is king. Even in later generations, most of the world's consortia still exist in the form of family systems, and they have existed for hundreds of years.
For example, those joint-stock companies, no matter how big they do, are just a flash in the pan in the river of history, and as soon as the head dies, the company immediately goes out.
After several days of driving, several people finally arrived at the boundary of today's Jiaxing, Zhejiang.
Ming Hongzhi's "Jiaxing Mansion Chronicles" recorded: "Jiaxing is a large mansion in western Zhejiang, and a metropolis in Jiangdong!" ”
This place has always been the land of fish and rice, the land of silk, in the Yuan Dynasty is Zhapu, Qinglong and other natural ports of frequent foreign trade, shipping prosperity.
But after the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court withdrew from maritime trade, so most of these port industries were deserted. However, it was secretly controlled by private forces, and several surrounding islands were used as springboards to start a private maritime trade business.
The inland power of the old shipowners was based on this place, and on the one hand, they could export all kinds of luxury goods overseas, and on the other hand, they could also sell all kinds of goods looted from overseas.
After entering the sphere of influence of Jiaxing Mansion, Mo Yanei looked at Zhu Houzhao and the others in embarrassment, and said: "Mao Feng's identity was a serious businessman when he was here, and there were few people who knew his identity.
Our two families also have contacts from time to time, but if I bring a group of people from the government like you to find them, I guess it will be difficult to talk. ”
Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and this is indeed the truth. As a member of the underworld, no matter how white he is, once he sees those who know his details and bring people from the government to the door, the vigilance in his heart is already three points more.
At that moment, everyone changed out of their official uniforms and dressed up as Mo Ya's subordinates, no matter what, they had to enter Mao Feng's mansion before they said.
The little queen mother was dressed as the most brilliant Qinglou woman on the Qinhuai River, with sideburns like clouds and clothes like fog, except for the one who couldn't be happy at all, it was perfect in other aspects.
"Zhu Shoubei, such a beautiful woman, do you really want to give Mao Feng as a meeting gift?" Mo Yanei wiped his saliva and whispered to Zhu Houzhao very regretfully.
Zhu Houzhao also glanced at the little queen mother, and only felt that this woman looked more eye-catching when she was not wearing a phoenix robe, her face was three points more beautiful than that of a certain Bingbing in later generations, and the slender waist and body were better.
was already a little reluctant in his heart, and changed his mouth: "How is it possible, this girl is just a stepping stone, and he doesn't have the bad habit of giving away good things." ”
Mo Yanei smiled, looking like everyone understands men.
When the group arrived at Mao Feng's mansion, someone took the driving post in the ink yaya with a disgusted face and handed it over.
After a while, a person who made up a housekeeper opened the door, and led Mo Yanei in not very affectionately.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at Mo Yanei deeply, the meaning is very obvious, people don't pay attention to you kid.
Mo Yanei did not feel the slightest embarrassment, and walked in from the gate with his head held high.
After arriving at the living room in the mansion, Mao Feng didn't wait anywhere, just a few servants with tea bowls on a few tables next to the chair in the Mo Ya.
Mo Yanei immediately frowned, although he was the leader of his group, but in fact, everyone knew that this enigmatic guard Zhu Shou was the actual person who said it.
Immediately, he said angrily: "Are your subordinates so unruly? This is my friend, and he doesn't even know about tea? ”
The servant was a little confused, but just looked at the steward,
The steward looked at Mu Yaonei, and then at Zhu Shou, as if after thinking about it for a while, he ordered: "Will you do something?" Don't go for tea yet? ”
Although he said this, it was easy to tell from the expectation that he was not welcoming to this friend in Mo Yanei's mouth, and it could even be said that he was a little wary.
After sitting in the living room for three teas, the legendary Mao Feng still did not appear.
Mo Yanei, who had drunk a stomach of water, began to be a little impatient, Mao Feng was still warm when he came before, and he definitely didn't mean to be cold here.
This made him suddenly a little embarrassed, and he boasted about Haikou at the beginning.
"Steward Liu, what's going on?" Mo Yanei stood up and forced the steward to ask: "What does Commander Mao mean!" ”
In the past, when he saw Mao Feng, he always called Uncle Mao, but now he directly called Mao Feng at sea, which shows that he was really angry.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly came from the inner room.
"The Mo family's beloved nephew, I haven't seen him for two years, but he is really good, and he dares to come to Uncle Mao's mansion at such a time?"
Then his tone changed: "Come on, take these people down for me!" ”
