Chapter 66: The Vortex
They thought like this, but it was a little difficult to put it into practice, after all, the main owner of the trading company was Chen Jian, who hid in Nan'an and did not show up. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Now that there is some chaos in Mincheng, they don't dare to leave at this time, they can only hope that such a big thing will happen, Chen Jian can take the initiative to come to Mincheng to deal with it.
In fact, a day after the incident, Chen Jian got the news that someone rode a fast horse to tell Chen Jian what happened in Mincheng.
Chen Jian was drawing a sketch of a rather strange building of this era, which looked like a building, and it was a brick load-bearing structure.
There are five floors in total, the first floor is very low, probably for load-bearing, so the first floor clings to the ground and is more like a semi-basement, and the upper structure is still a coupon arch, apparently to carry the weight of the upper four floors.
The load-bearing wall is also very thick on the first floor, slightly thinner on the second, and so on until the fifth layer becomes a normal thin wall. The span of the room is not large, it should still be a wooden frame structure, the sketch has not been completed, it is more like a concept, and there is a huge vertical plaque faintly painted on it, which seems to write the words "Good Chinese Council Legal Monopoly Maritime Venture Capital Colonial Plunder United Chamber of Commerce" and so on.
When the messenger came in, Jian Chen rolled up the sketch, but the messenger just glanced at it and didn't see too much.
Briefly talking about what happened in Mincheng, Jian Chen didn't care, and only asked, "All the trading companies burned down?" ”
"It burned down, and several houses in the neighborhood were also burned."
"What about the appeasement of the neighbors?"
"Mr. Zhu Qian is doing it, no problem, give them some money to live in temporarily, and then discuss the matter of compensation after the judge decides."
After asking about the burned area, Jian Chen was still very satisfied, and asked again: "What happened to the people who extorted confessions privately?" ”
"It's okay, we've asked a lawyer who is proficient in justice, there are no deaths and no physical injuries, at most go to the government mine to work for two years, it's not a good thing to come out and have money after two years, it's all our own brothers, this kind of thing is no problem."
"That's good."
After a few pauses with the pen, Jian Chen pondered for a while and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhu Qian's work is very interesting." He is a person who is proficient in justice, let him do what the officials of Mincheng do, I don't care. You can help me pass a message, and say that I will come back in a few days, and I will go again when the people in the glass workshop are in a hurry, and they will think that I really take this matter very seriously......"
The person who reported the news hummed and said, "What does Mr. Zhu Qian mean, is it to go to Mincheng in advance?" Now the glass guild is in chaos, and now as long as you go to Mincheng, those workshops will always come to us to discuss. The most important thing is the employees of the glass workshop, Mr. Zhu Qian said that there is nothing wrong with them, after all, someone is behind the tricks, and they are innocent. ”
Jian Chen smiled helplessly, still having some admiration for a certain sense of the same person in his heart, and nodded: "You tell him, let him rest assured, what I promised will definitely be done, and those glass craftsmen will not starve." Okay, then please make another trip overnight and tell Mr. Zhu Qian. ”
After speaking, he got up and saluted, although the man's face was unimpressed, but this salute was firmly remembered in his heart.
…………
Nan'an, when Jian Chen got the news, the county magistrate of Nan'an County, Yuanshan, also learned the news from another channel, but he kept quiet and walked the news out.
Soon, the officials of Nan'an County got together, after all, Chen Jian was giving gifts, bribes, and paying taxes, and the key was that Chen Jian did not ask for anything after bribes, it seemed that he was an ordinary friendship, and he never asked for anything outside.
Many officials like this kind of good workshop, and their houses are replaced with bright large glass, and there are some fake crystal vessels with unique shapes that look of low grade and distorted shapes, and some things have to be helped.
Yu Yuanshan was silent, and the officials at the same level said this matter first.
"There have been some conflicts between the glass workshops in our county and the glass workshops in Mincheng. There are also a lot of hired workers in the workshops in our county, which has led to the consumption of woodware, coal and iron, and the name of our Nan'an County is written on the wooden frame of his glass, which is said to be exported to the capital now. As a sheriff, I'm a little worried that the mob from the Mincheng glass workshop will come here to make trouble. ”
"Yes, his workshop employees in Mincheng want to eat, is it possible that our employees in Nan'an won't eat?"
A few people muttered a general account of what happened in Mincheng, and said in a sigh: "That Chen Jian is also a kind-hearted person, although he has not been in our Nan'an for a long time, he has donated a lot of books and pen and ink to help education, and he does not do anything illegal." Although I didn't have much contact with him, I was impressed that the young man was very promising. In this way, the magistrate has been a little more troublesome in the past few days, and strictly investigated the lawbreakers from Mincheng to avoid any incidents. If there is some bloody death like in Mincheng, our Nan'an will not look good. ”
"Also, since it is a workshop in our county, we can't let him suffer, go around and ask him what difficulties he has, after all, he is not familiar with life. If he needs a lawyer who is proficient in the law, he can also help contact him, there are still a few powerful people in our county, don't let him find it when the time comes, but he can't find the real one. ”
………
Mincheng, Sun Zhan's home.
It was still a small banquet at home, and the people invited were all people that Sun Zhan was familiar with, and there were also a few people with certain purposes who wanted to chat with Jian Chen after watching the play.
A few friends sat down and chatted about what had happened in Mincheng these days, and the conflict between the Glass Guild and the Charity Trading Company was the biggest thing in Mincheng in the past few days.
Different people saw different results, and these people who sat in Sun Zhan's house and drank saw another level: the people could be instigated, they had power to be angry, and these people, who had mostly completed their enlightenment, were full of nervousness and anxiety about the future of division and solidification, and sometimes an uncontrollable force could erupt because of what seemed to the insignificant salary and work of these drinkers.
In the process of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, the person who was watching the theater at the beginning said: "Brother Yiyi, I really didn't expect that this Chen Jian would have such a ability, and he would be able to make such a big workshop, and he would be able to make Tian Wen of the Glass Guild to such a point." ”
Sun Zhan is also a little proud, and now the reputation of that scene is spread far and wide, although there is no story of Bole Maxima, but the corresponding praise will inevitably fall on Sun Zhan's head.
"yes, I didn't expect that either. At first, I thought that this young man would always take the road of writing dramas, but after writing it, he became a little unhappy and started a glass business. ”
"This young man is very interesting. Others climb mountains, and they will climb until the end of their lives, whether it is to pick the stars or to see the sunrise. But what about him? Obviously, it is very suitable for climbing a mountain, but after climbing a little bit to become famous, I changed the mountain, and my heart was like a cloud, and I didn't know what I wanted to do. ”
Sun Zhan smiled: "That can't be said either. This name is not small, anyway, on the mountain where I am located, there are many taller than him, but there are few who are as young as him and climb so high. ”
"That's right. Now that he is doing this glass business, he can force the glass guild to mess up, and within a few years, he will become a huge rich man in Mincheng, and his net worth is unimaginable. You think, we have all seen this glass, this is not a Fujian city, but the best glass in the north and south, east and west, how much wealth is this? ”
Sun Zhan glanced at a few people suspiciously and asked, "What do you mean?" ”
"Don't think about it, we don't have any foundation in Mincheng, and he is not a mustard people, so he can make his voice heard, and he definitely doesn't want to fight his idea. It's just that I regret that I didn't talk to him earlier, and I didn't expect him to break into such a situation. He's the kind of person who doesn't just want to do some glass business, and when the mountain climbs to a high level, do you think he will change his destination again? ”
Sun Zhan shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." He set up a charity trading company, and his heart was extremely pure. You also know that he is said to be half a disciple of Mr. Xuegongmu, if he really wants to do something else and go to Xuegong to learn for a few years to become famous, he may not be able to set foot on the road of official eunuchs. But he didn't go, but set up a trading company workshop, which shows that his mind may not be here. ”
"The matter of the eunuch is a right for some people, and for some people, it is the realization of some dreams, since he set up a charity trading company when he was just starting out, this kind of person you say he doesn't have the dreams of young people? I don't think so. Who is Hu Zhuqian? What is it that is being promoted? He was so close to Hu Zhuqian, there were some things that could be known just thinking about it. ”
Sun Zhan said with a smile: "It's not a secret, it's allowed to form associations and run a party, they are young people, and getting together is nothing more than thinking about some improvements and the like." There's nothing wrong with me saying that. ”
The man tapped the table and said, "That's the problem." Isn't it fool's dream to expect those in the council to approve these proposals for improvement? In the final analysis, they are the utopian dreams of young people, and they will not realize that they have gone wrong until they hit their heads and bleed! ”
"Therefore, there must be an autocratic king, supreme, in order to successfully complete some reform proposals and have absolute control over the council. In a sense, isn't what they're going to do the same thing as what we're going to do? Now they are still young, what do they know? Isn't it a waste of time to waste your mind on these useless things? ”
Sun Zhan suddenly said, "What do you mean...... Chen Jian and Hu Lin, in fact, can stand with us? ”
"I'm not in a hurry, but I can talk to them. But before that, you can still help them, find someone to help you reconcile, and contact them. After all, young people can still talk, and you have the grace to know him, so you can't watch these young people go down the road no matter what. ”
Sun Zhan smiled bitterly, and said in his heart that if you stood on Chen Jianhulin's side with great fanfare when this matter first came out, you would always win favor, but you didn't dare to make a decision. Now that this matter has been understood, this is the icing on the cake, this friendship is far worse than directly helping at the beginning, and refusing to offend the people of the Glass Guild at the beginning......
The person who proposed it also understood Sun Zhan's wry smile and said: "We are wrong about this matter, although it is not a charcoal in the snow, it is better than not doing it at all." In this matter, I asked Brother Yi to meet Jian Chen. ”
"Okay, he'll come to Mincheng in a few days."
