Chapter 198: Cutting off people's financial routes
The entire provincial capital was shrouded in a tense atmosphere, and groups of officers and soldiers rushed straight to the smoke houses in the streets and alleys. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Ye Shaolong has been completely angry since he was frustrated in Wanyan Tower.
Under the vigor, Ye Shaolong mobilized the officers and soldiers of the whole city and began to ban all the smoke houses on a large scale. Whether it was the Shark Gang or not, he had already ordered him to go down and see one by one.
This is a typical example of killing mistakes rather than letting them go, and some innocent small tobacco restaurant owners were immediately affected. Cutting off one's life is like taking someone's life, and those innocent tobacco shop owners soon find out the news.
Ye Shaolong targeted the Shark Gang this time, but innocently affected them, after urgent discussions. These little bosses soon reached a consensus and wanted to jointly make a statement to Ye Shaolong.
The person who was elected by everyone to do the work was Lin Yi, the person who spoke about the Lin family. If you want to say that this smoke shop, in addition to the Shark Gang, it must belong to the Lin family, ranking second.
This joint name was also initiated by his Lin family, and driven by common interests, all the bosses became the same enemy.
Lin Yi held the joint letter of all the bosses in his hand, and sat in the carriage that went to the mansion, his face expressionless. Although he was calm on the surface, he was quite apprehensive inside.
Lin Yi was willing to go out to do this in person, in fact, because he had a good relationship with Ye Shaolong before. As an outstanding figure of the Lin family, he is young and promising, and under his conceit, he has never looked down on the conceited affairs of other big families.
But Ye Shaolong is an exception, especially the Ye family was in the limelight at that time, and it was good to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big trees, so for the development of their own family, it was inevitable to deliberately make friends.
Thinking of discussing with Ye Shaolong with the previous friendship, Lin Yi hoped that things would take a turn for the better. The Lin family started with a tobacco house, this is the financial way for the Lin family to survive, and now it is being engaged by Ye Shaolong like this, how is it different from asking for the Lin family's life.
After the shock, Lin Yi was very annoyed, but now Ye Shaolong is different from the past, and the identity of Lord Qincha makes Lin Yi's heart become bottomless.
The carriage stopped steadily, and the groom shouted respectfully outside: "Young master, it's time to go to the mansion!" ”
Lin Yi nodded silently, tidied up his clothes a little, and got out of the carriage. He glanced towards the gate of the government and strode forward.
He handed over the prayer post, waited for a while, and then entered the palace under the guidance of his subordinates. I made a detour all the way to the main hall, and I was able to enter it after passing through it again.
"Hahaha, Brother Lin is actually here, a rare guest!" Ye Shaolong seemed to be very bold, and greeted him with a laugh.
Lin Yi was quite surprised by this, before he saw Ye Shaolong, he had already guessed in his heart that Ye Shaolong would have no less than a dozen performances, but he didn't expect Ye Shaolong to be so polite.
After a short period of stunnedness, Lin Yi quickly reacted and said, "Lord Ye is too polite, Lin Yi can't afford it." ”
The two were polite to each other, and after taking their seats, Ye Shaolong said with a smile: "Brother Lin Yi came here at this time, I don't know what happened?" ”
Lin Yi originally wanted to take advantage of such a good atmosphere to catch up with Ye Shaolong first, but he never thought that Ye Shaolong would be so direct. After hesitating for a moment, he took out the joint letter from his body and handed it over.
"My lord, Lin Yi actually wanted to ask you to do something when I came here today!"
"Oh......"
Ye Shaolong didn't say anything, took the letter and read it, his face was expressionless, but it made Lin Yi a little nervous.
After a long time, Ye Shaolong finished reading the letter, threw it on the table, and said seriously: "Brother Lin's family has been surviving on the smoke house now?" ”
Lin Yi obviously didn't know what Ye Shaolong meant, but he still said truthfully: "What the adults said is true, now our Lin family really still relies on the smoke house for a living. ”
"Didn't Brother Lin think about making a living else?"
The expression on Ye Shaolong's face became colder, and his tone became much heavier. Looking at the shocked expression on Lin Yi's face, he continued: "Although the big smoke came quickly, didn't Brother Lin understand that these big smoke soon poisoned the people and let a large amount of silver from the country flow into the pockets of those foreigners. ”
At this point, Ye Shaolong paused. So far, he also wants to save some affection for Lin Yi, and Ye Shaolong doesn't want to make the relationship between them too stiff.
The way of being an official, especially in ancient times, was not smooth in the transmission of information, and the policies governing the local government were also different. When Beijing officials go down to the localities to do things, they also want the local people to have good relations.
Lin Yi has been exposed to it since he was a child, how can he not understand what Ye Shaolong means, but the Lin family has been running a tobacco house for a long time. And now it's not his Lin family that is running it, even the smoke house with an official background is also very popular.
But today, Ye Shaolong is banning smoking halls with such fanfare, and the interests involved in this are huge. Maybe the news hasn't reached the ears of those big people yet, as long as those people know about it in the future, I believe Ye Shaolong will not be happy.
"My lord, everyone understands the truth, but this big smoke is not only operated by our Lin family now. There are nearly 1,000 tobacco houses in the province, and Lin Yi dares to pack tickets, and most of them are definitely relying on the official family to survive. Therefore, the ban is carried out with such fanfare today, I am afraid that it will arouse public anger. ”
Lin Yi was also very careful in what he said, and he was also afraid of annoying Ye Shaolong. He didn't know what would happen to Ye Shaolong in the future, but if he couldn't talk about Ye Shaolong today, his Lin family would definitely be in trouble.
Although the Lin family's big tobacco business is quite large, it is a pity that they do not have an official background. If Ye Shaolong insisted on banning, he Lin Yi would have no room to resist at all.
And later, once those smoke houses with backgrounds reopen, customers will have to be pulled over. In this way, the Lin family will definitely not have a good time in the future.
Ye Shaolong let out a cold snort: "What about others, I don't care, now I just want to know if you understand the harm of big smoke to people." Do you still have the slightest awareness, do you still want to follow those foreigners like rich wolves to earn such black money, or are you ready to stop here and stop touching these things that destroy people's will and poison the people? ”
Ye Shaolong's tone was undoubted, and the aggravation of his tone again also gave people a lot of pressure. Lin Yi saw Ye Shaolong's resolute expression at this moment, and he already understood in his heart that today's matter was going to be yellow.
Now Lin Yi has to face Ye Shaolong's forced questioning, and in his heart he is really unwilling to answer such a question head-on. But Ye Shaolong really didn't want to let him go, and kept repeating the question.
After struggling for a long time, Lin Yi hesitated and said, "My lord, Lin Yi knows what you mean, and he also understands that the smoke is absolutely harmful and useless to the people of the Qing Dynasty. But now that our Lin family has left this, what else can we do? ”
