Chapter 293: A Strong Alliance
The soldiers of the Yamen Brigade carried the tiger head ...... of the quiet and returning tour, and appointed the ...... of Zhejiang, "Cijin Zhongjia...... and "Tongfeng Doctor". and so on, the gold-lettered official title plate shook a lot of people's eyes. Everyone knew that it was Li Sixian, the political envoy of the province, who had arrived.
Chen Baisha respectfully greeted each other in front of the sedan chair, two arrogant servants opened the sedan curtain one left and one right, and Li Sixian came out proudly.
I saw that this political envoy was wearing a scarlet embroidered official uniform, a black gauze hat, and a second-grade brocade chicken on his chest. The waist is tied with a rhino horn belt, which is really majestic.
Although he only wore the green robe of the seven-rank official, the black gauze hat on his head was not the black gauze hat of an ordinary civil official, but the crown of the imperial history, and the chest was hung with a hedgehog show uniform, with a rebellious expression, quite a state of self-pride, which was the eight mansion patrols in the drama on behalf of the heavenly patrol hunting, the first decision and the later play.
These two stepped out of the sedan chair and behaved exactly the same as Gonggong Huang and Foreman Huo in front, but the object of praise and criticism completely fell off.
The two adults first looked at Cai Wei in the east, and snorted angrily from their noses, "Obviously, they are extremely dissatisfied with the Wufeng Maritime Merchant; Then he answered with Chen Baixia. Immediately, it turned into a pleasant face.
"How can our sea shark club be able to invite Li Fangbo and Liu Xun to come to enjoy the light? The voices of the two officials are as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, and we regard them as compassionate parents: "How fortunate we are to be here today!" …… Chen Baisha was overjoyed and slapped the two backers on the back.
Li Sixian stared at Wufeng Maritime Shang resentfully, his son Li Jia's whole body bones were almost dismantled by Niu Dali, and now he was still lying on the bed and humming, could he not hold a grudge against Jin Yingji and Qin Lin?
He turned his head and looked at Chen Baixia with a smile. This Uncle Fang (another name for the political envoy) looked much better. He said in a deep voice: "The Sea Shark Society is a serious businessman, and the two leaders of Chen and Zhao are the sons of Shenzhou who are enthusiastic about the ancient road, and they have done many good deeds in building bridges and paving roads in the local area, and there are many good deeds in helping the poor, and this official has long heard of it." This time, it is ordered to open the sea in Hangzhou to prosper the market and pay taxes", your association has a great responsibility, so this museum has to look at it differently, come here to inspect and encourage......
Li Sixian is a political envoy from the second grade, and his own identity is more subtle.
That Liu Tidao has a narrow personality, and he is a humble and powerful patrol of the imperial history, so he is even more unscrupulous, pointing at Sang and scolding Huai: "I heard that there are overseas people who take advantage of the eunuch party to do evil, and the official wants me to be bright and blue, and I will never have such a thing. It is the duty of this official to carry out the impeachment of lawlessness on behalf of the emperor on behalf of the Heavenly Patrol, so he has to stay here to see what he wants! ……
After that, Liu Tidao threw down his wide sleeves, and his legs in foundation soap boots took square steps, his eyes were wide and wide like the angry eyes of King Kong, and his thick eyebrows were locked like a case of Bao Gong. With that righteous and awe-inspiring look, he sent the person next to him to take Erhuang and roar for him, "Bao Longtu meditates in Kaifeng Mansion...... It's here.
It's a pity that the people did not cheer for the eight governors who killed corrupt officials and redressed unjust cases as they did on the stage or in the books, but there was a silent silence.
People look at each other's performance in this patrol of the imperial history: sea sharks will oppress the people, squeeze small and medium-sized businessmen, and even make money and kill people, and the crime can be said to be known to women and children in Hangzhou, and everyone is looking forward to Wufeng maritime merchants to come to compete with it, although Wufeng maritime merchants are not necessarily good people, but as long as there is competition, it is better than a single family!
Why didn't the patrol lord uphold justice for the people like on the stage, but instead believed in his words and pointed to the deer as a horse?
Clever people have seen some clues. It seems that the patrol master is not all as good as the stage stage......
Liu Tidao was bored. A deliberately contrived performance did not have any effect. Fortunately, there was also a white shark Chen who was knowledgeable and interested, and quickly took the lead in applauding, and the tents, shopkeepers, buddies, and thugs of the Sea Shark Club were stunned, and they also screamed in a mess. Only then did he cover his face for Liu Xun.
As soon as the political envoy and the inspector, these two top high-ranking officials in Hangzhou and even the whole of Xijiang, sat in the color shed of the Sea Shark Club, the situation immediately changed.
The people who had already entered the Wufeng Maritime Merchant Shed began to walk out in embarrassment.
There was a businessman who spoke Huguang dialect and was talking with the shopkeeper of Wufeng Maritime Merchant, and someone patted him on the back behind him: "Wang Yuanwai, don't you look at the style?" Hurry up, hurry up".
The Wang Yuanwai looked back, and the political envoy and the full deacon of the imperial history stopped in front of the colorful shed of the Sea Shark Club opposite, and the two adults were sitting high in the shed, and they were so frightened that cold sweat came out. ,
That's why he wasn't at ease, and the man who reminded him just now had his head down and his sleeve to cover his face. For fear that the sea sharks will remember their appearance and be retaliated against by them.
There's no way, there are countless bloody lessons ahead, don't dare to be unguarded!
But back in the open field, Wang Yuanwai and his friends are in trouble again, the sea shark will be fierce and domineering, and there are political envoys and patrols to support the imperial history, is it easy to provoke the Wufeng maritime merchants?
Those fierce and vicious Jinyi lieutenants and Dongchang fans. Seeing the two of them withdraw from the colorful shed of the Wufeng Maritime Merchant, they all stared at each other fiercely. Many people's hands are still on the handle of the embroidered spring knife, and the look seems to say: ......, hum, I want to see who dares to go to the color shed of the Sea Shark Club? Could it be that our Dongchang and Jinyiwei are vegetarians? ”。
This is called a dilemma, the businessmen have become Zhu Bajie, looking in the mirror inside and out, not people.
"Mom, why is it so difficult to do business today? ,。 Wang Yuanwai simply sat on the ground, his voice dragging and crying.
A small number of bold businessmen weighed the pros and cons, stomped their feet, and walked to the color shed in the east: "Let's go, there is a risk of offending any side, in business, let's go to the Wufeng maritime merchants who have a high purchase price and a low wholesale price!" ……
Of course, there are also people who are afraid of the fierce reputation of the Sea Shark Society, and reluctantly walk to the west color shed: "Alas. There's no way, offending the sea shark will have to lose its head, offending the Wufeng maritime merchant is probably not that serious, we would rather offend the latter. ”。
For a time, a small number of businessmen from each of the east and west sheds went in to negotiate, and most of them remained in the open space. Watching, hesitating, hesitating.
There was another commotion in the distance, and a large group of people walked towards this side on their shoulders, like a stream of fresh water poured into the crowded crowd, and immediately attracted attention.
Whether it is Huang Gonggong or Huo Chonglou in the east color shed. Chen Baixia, Li Sixian, and Liu Tidao in the west color shed are still all kinds of businessmen left in the open space. They are all puzzled: the eunuch of the Admiralty City, the foreman of the East Factory, the political envoy, the patrol of the imperial history, the leaders of all the forces are here, which way is the immortal?
Suddenly, Zhao Haima stood up in surprise, pointed to the distance and said to Chen Baixia, "Big brother." It's Cao Gang Tian Zongjia and his subordinates who are doing Cao Yun General Business! ……
Chen Baisha was overjoyed.
Although the Sea Shark Club is the king and hegemon in Hangzhou Mansion and Xijiang Province, after all, it is trapped in a corner, and the Cao Gang relies on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River water transportation, crisscrossing the Xijiang River, Jiangxi, Huguang, Shandong provinces and the north and south Zhili, and the 100,000 gangs under their command are more than three points stronger than the Sea Shark Club.
The year before last, Chen and Zhao went to Yangzhou to visit Tian Qiye to "discuss the cooperation between the two sides", Tian Qiye received him very warmly, but did not come up with anything substantial, so the two returned to Hangzhou in defeat.
Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Tian Qiye actually brought a number of general merchants under his command to come in person, which was really unexpected!
"God help me!" Chen Baisha increased his amount with his hand, confessed to the two adults, left Zhao Haima to greet him in the color shed, and greeted him with a smoke.
The thugs and men of the Sea Shark Club were all smiling, sticking out their tongues and making strange appearances towards the east color shed, and they were proud.
The expressions of the merchants in the open space changed suddenly. The merchants who remained in the colorful shed on the east side instantly became like ashes.
The commercial houses, carriages and horses, and tooth shops of the Xijiang River are controlled by the Sea Shark Society, but the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal leading from Hangzhou to Beijing is in charge of the Cao Gang, and the water network of the pond in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and many canals have been built, Hangzhou to Xiaoshan, Shaoxing, Shangyu, Huzhou to Jiaxing, Wuxi to Jiangyin...... There are branch canals that are connected to each other, needless to say, these are all the world of the Cao Gang.
Small shipments may be available by land. Now that the Cao Gang and the Sea Shark Club are united, the merchants will not cooperate with the Sea Shark Club and will be unable to move an inch on the canal, and they will be suffocated to death!
In the east color shed, there was silence for a while, and everyone's faces were as black as the bottom of the pot.
"I—Why am I so unlucky! …… The white and chubby Wang Yuanwai pulled his hair in frustration, and his expression was more ugly than crying.
He had already gone out just now, weighed it again and again, and couldn't resist the temptation of Wufeng Maritime Merchants to wholesale at a low price and purchase at a high price, and finally walked in again, bargained with the shopkeepers, and ordered a lot of goods from overseas with the tickets, ready to be shipped back to the mainland for sale.
But now I found out that the sea shark will have the support of the Cao Gang. The cheap goods that I bought from the Wufeng maritime merchants just now will be difficult to move an inch in the south of the Yangtze River, and they will be trapped alive in Hangzhou, isn't this forcing people to jump off the building?
"Oh my God, Wang has fallen for you! …… Wang Yuanwai looked down on the old shopkeeper who was in charge of the transaction just now. complained one after another, and lowered his voice to inquire if he could return the goods, and said that he was willing to give the old shopkeeper a kickback......
Suddenly, someone behind him laughed: "Mr. Wang has no confidence in Wufeng Maritime Merchant like this?" ”
Wang Yuanwai looked back and saw that it was the young man sitting next to Jin Yingji, knowing that the other party had an extraordinary background. He didn't dare to offend, but he regretted that he shouldn't have traded with Wufeng Maritime Merchants, and this business would definitely be lost.
"That's it". Qin Lin patted him on the shoulder with confidence: "I bet that not only will you not lose your capital, but you will make a lot of money, because as long as it is the goods traded with my Wufeng maritime merchants, the Cao Gang will be responsible for free water transportation!" ”。
Isn't this man crazy? Wang Yuanwai opened his two eyes widely, as if he wanted to see Duoduoer on Qin Lin's face, and stretched out his hand again, as if he wanted to touch his forehead for fever.
