Chapter 200: Don't give an inch
Outside the Wanyan Building, Nari with a large number of foreigner musketeers was confronting the officers and soldiers in charge of guarding. When Ye Shaolong arrived www.biquge.info the situation was already out of control.
Neri was very strong, threatening that this Wanyan Building was within their concession, and the officers and soldiers of the Qing Dynasty had no right to exercise power here.
Ye Shaolong had a calm face, and sneered: "I don't know what Mr. is called?" ”
Nari naturally saw Ye Shaolong who came in a hurry, but he didn't pay attention to the large number of officers and soldiers who followed. In the provincial capital, they foreigners have a great status, and the officials of the Qing Dynasty have no right to interfere with anything about the foreigners.
"This is Lord Ye, I am the supreme governor of the United States, Neri. Why do you want to ban our Wanyan Building, who gave you the authority to do so? "Neri is very arrogant, and he doesn't take Ye Shaolong in his eyes at all.
"Joke!"
Ye Shaolong snorted coldly and said, "In my territory of the Great Qing Dynasty, ask me that the officials of the Great Qing Dynasty have no right to interfere in the affairs here, then this official should ask, who gave you the power so that you can ignore our precepts in the territory of the Great Qing Dynasty?" ”
Neri was choked speechless, and after a while, he said cheekily: "This belongs to our concession, and it is the concession of your Qing Emperor. You have no right to interfere with us within our concessions. ”
"Hmph, it seems that Mr. Nerry insisted on participating in the muddy waters today, and he is not afraid to tell you that the closure of the smoking hall was instructed by the emperor. If you still dare to come here to mess around today, then don't blame the official for turning his face. ”
Nari didn't take Ye Shaolong seriously, and Ye Shaolong naturally didn't need to take him seriously. If you want to mess around in front of him, wouldn't it be a big knife in front of Guan Gong.
"Lord Ye is not afraid of the two armies fighting? If the situation gets bigger, I believe you won't be able to explain it to your emperor, right? "Nari saw that Ye Shaolong was strong, and he didn't dare to force it anymore, if it was hard, then it would be soft.
Where does Ye Shaolong have any scruples now, Neri is obviously invited by the sea daughter of the Shark Gang to help. And the first time to protect Wanyan Building.
If it was somewhere else, Ye Shaolong might not need to be so stiff, but Wanyanlou is the top priority, and this is where things start. If Wanyanlou is really protected by foreigners, then he can't ban other smoke houses.
As soon as this matter spreads, then he Ye Shaolong will really become the number one joke in the provincial capital. So no matter what, this Wanyan Building can't fall into the hands of foreigners.
"On the emperor's side, those of us who are courtiers will naturally be enlightened, so there is no need for Mr. Nerry to worry about this matter. Please bring someone back, and don't interfere with our work. "Ye Shaolong doesn't eat soft and hard, and he doesn't eat oil and salt.
The corners of Neri's eyes twitched fiercely, and his eyes swept over the officers and soldiers who were several times more numerous. There was a lot of hesitation in his expression, and now he obviously couldn't beat Ye Shaolong.
Although the smoke house is the daughter of the Shark Gang, it is related to the big smoke, and he started by selling big cigarettes. The Shark Gang is his biggest partner, and without the Shark Gang to help sell, this big smoke may really rot in his hands in the future.
Neri's scruples are not only these, but also Peter, I don't know what is going on in the capital? This is the biggest reason why Neri doesn't dare to fight at the moment.
After planning for a long time, Neri snorted coldly and left in a hurry with a large group of men, not even leaving a cruel word.
Seeing Nari turn around and leave, Ye Shaolong was also slightly relieved. Hundreds of foreign soldiers armed with sharp weapons, such a force is definitely not small, once the battle starts, the casualties will definitely be not small.
And afterwards, he Ye Shaolong was not easy to explain to the emperor, and maybe he would be impeached by those officials in the court because of this matter.
"Young master, why don't you start fighting, there are only a few hundred foreigners, and we can easily take them down with one charge." The tower's face was full of disappointment.
Ye Shaolong turned around and punched him directly in the chest, and said with hatred: "I know about fighting all day long, have you ever thought that once the fight starts, our casualties will be indispensable to those foreigners." What kind of stupid thing to fight when you hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt yourself by eight hundred! ”
The tower was taught too suddenly, but he also knew that Ye Shaolong was reasonable, and he didn't dare to refute it. Under Ye Shaolong's order, he took the officers and soldiers who had gathered in a hurry back to the barracks.
The provincial capital has calmed down for the time being, at least on the surface, but secretly it is turbulent. Big smoke is definitely the first economic support of the provincial capital, and there are many people who make a living from it.
Ye Shaolong's ban on smoking involved many forces, and the news soon spread to the capital, and those who had interests were scolded by Ye Shaolong for cutting off their financial routes as soon as they heard the news.
In the imperial study room in the imperial city, the little emperor looked at the folds with a smile on his face behind the dragon case.
"This Ye Shaolong is now a hornet's nest, and he actually bans smoking in the provincial capital. I really don't know if he is bold or doesn't understand the interests in it, so he has to do something if he continues to do this. The little emperor didn't know whether he was praising or scolding, and his words were puns, which was unpredictable.
When Gonggong Li heard this, he glanced up at the emperor and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, haven't you always hated Da Yan?" Ye Shaolong did this, which can be regarded as sharing worries for the emperor. ”
"Worry?"
A wry smile appeared on the little emperor's face, and he shook his head and said: "I don't know if I am worried or not, but his kid has directly offended more than half of the courtiers this time." Look at these twists and turns, all of them are Shenye Shaolong's, do you think I should let him stop. ”
The little emperor naturally received a secret letter from the master of the Hong Hall a long time ago, and he also learned about the ban on the Hongxing Tobacco Pavilion. But he didn't care about this little thing at all, but he didn't expect that the next day, the ministers began to go up to Ye Shaolong one after another, saying that he was messing around in the provincial capital, making the city full of smoke and miasma.
What the ministers meant, the little emperor naturally knew, and he could directly ignore the innocent moans of these ministers. The only thing he was afraid of was the reaction of the foreigners.
"Is there any new progress in the negotiation of foreigners over there?" The little emperor put together the fold in his hand and looked at Gonggong Li.
"Back to the emperor, someone just came to report that the foreigners were willing to take out a thousand foreign guns and two cannons in exchange for all the people who were arrested. Our men wanted to raise the price for two more ships, but they always insisted on not backing down. Gonggong Li replied calmly.
"Hmph, these hateful foreigners, a thousand foreign guns and two cannons want to exchange more than a thousand people, what kind of situation will I put in the Qing Dynasty and me." The little emperor suddenly stood upright and slapped his palm on the table.
Gonggong Li was so frightened that his body trembled slightly, and he didn't dare to speak casually for a while. Negotiations with foreigners have been going on for almost a month, and foreigners have always bitten to death at such prices. The little emperor was anxious to give not a single steamer, which made him very annoyed.
