The capital, Tufu. [No pop-up novel network]

Tu Xunyu looked at the letterhead in his hand tightly, his eyes were solemn, his expression seemed to be worried and afraid, and he had some indescribable taste.

"Yuanxun, is there something about Xie Hong in the letter from Liaodong?" Liang Chu's face was not good-looking, and before he came to visit Tu Xun, he also received an urgent report, which ostensibly had nothing to do with Xie Hong, but Xie Hong should not be able to escape from the Ganlian.

If it weren't for Xie Hong's men, how could he have lost so many people along the way? Even the dead soldiers who have been raised by their families for many years have folded most of them, and that is a dead soldier!

Although the Liang family has a lot of industry in Guangdong, it can't stand the cost of raising the dead, not to mention that it has been raised for so many years, and the amount of silver consumed is countless, and as a result, it was all folded in without even hearing a sound, which made Liang Chu not feel distressed.

Of course, Liang Shilang is also a person who does big things, and the things that can be solved with money will not cause him much trouble, and the goal is not solved, which is the most difficult problem.

One Xie Hong is enough, and now there is another Wang Shouren, if it can't be solved, Xie Qian's promise will not be fulfilled, and the position of the secretary is far away, but it gives Tu Chu a cheap old man, which is what annoys Liang Chu the most.

"The state affairs are difficult, I'm afraid that this time I will make that annihilation proud......" Tu Xun put down the letter in his hand, and also sighed.

Liang Chu took the letter and looked at it, and immediately understood.

According to the original plan, the center was led by Wang Wei, and with the cooperation of the local government, even if Xie Hong could not be completely solved on the way, it would create enough trouble for him to make his journey into Liaodong difficult.

The latter was originally not difficult, the local forces in Liaodong are complicated, and there are many people who do not obey the king, and the weight of Qincha in their eyes is the same thing.

Chen Shiliang felt that as long as he provoked a little, he could make these forces disobey Xie Hongyin. It wasn't until Xie Hong left Shanhaiguan that he found that the situation was completely out of his grasp.

Although there are many forces in Liaodong, no one dares to ignore the authority of the general army, this represents the prestige of the Ming Dynasty, and he has the most powerful military force in Liaodong, which cannot be provoked.

At that time, Dong Shan, the leader of the Jianzhou Jurchens, was very majestic, not only plundering the Han people, but also repeatedly threatened to provoke the Ming Dynasty, trying to coerce the Ming Dynasty to compromise by force. As a result, the Ming Dynasty didn't even move troops, but just put on a posture of closing the door and letting the dogs go, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses of North Korea bloodied Jianzhou at that time.

In the place of disobedience to the king, another rule is followed, that is, whoever has the big fist will be the one who has the say! In Liaodong, the biggest fist is the general army of Liaozhen who is backed by the Ming Dynasty, and the adjacent Jizhen is the master of the bigger fist, which is the consensus of everyone in Liaodong.

In this way, the two general soldiers were summoned to Shanhaiguan with a wave of their hands. You know, from Liaoyang to Shanhaiguan, that's nearly a thousand miles! It is also in such a season, how much suffering you have to endure along the way, but everyone who has lived in Liaodong for a long time knows it.

In the past, there were quite a few officers sent by the imperial court to patrol Liaodong, but the general soldiers only went to Guangning Wei to greet them at most, but this time they suddenly greeted them thousands of miles to Shanhaiguan, which is really hard not to think about.

Therefore, the guard of honor of the Qincha who led the general army to open the way was unimpeded in Liaodong, which was completely reasonable. No matter how clever your brain is, you won't be able to understand when you see this posture, this governor who came here is a master who is more ruthless than Han Zongbing, if it is not necessary, it is better not to offend.

"Fortunately, the annihilator didn't go quickly, and there is still some room for me to wait for the long term......" Liang Chu also sighed, and then shook his head with a wry smile, and said with some happiness.

Xie Hong's itinerary is indeed not fast, and he has left Shanhaiguan for more than ten days, but he is only about to arrive at Ningyuan Fort. When the letter was transmitted, Chen Shiliang also mentioned that now that the heavy snow in Liaodong has arrived, many places have closed the road, and Xie Hong is afraid that he will have to wait until next year if he wants to reach Liaoyang. When he starts to act, it will be even later, so Liang Chu has this to say.

"That's just a beautiful day, Liaodong is as cold as today, there are a lot of people in the entourage, the luggage is also heavy, and he has brought a lot of various tools, and even ten artillery pieces, so it's strange that he can get up quickly." Tu Xun picked up the letter and put it down, looking a little unpossessed, and muttered in his mouth:

"But he still has to arrive after all, and looking at the posture he put on, I'm afraid that he is also going to do a big job, and now that he has subdued that martial artist, how can Chen Shiliang stop him alone?"

Liang Chu pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "Yuanxun, in fact, no matter what means Xie Hong has, in a bitter cold place like Liaodong, he will not be able to make much waves after all. It may not be possible to get rid of him, but it is not difficult to restrain him and make him helpless. ”

"Oh? The younger brother is not talented, but he has not obtained the method, please ask the uncle to solve my doubts. Tu Xun raised his eyebrows, a little interested.

"Most of this matter still has to fall on Jiangnan colleagues." Liang Chu first sold a little, and then explained leisurely: "Then why did Xie Hong go out of Beijing, Yuanxun, you can't remember it, right?" ”

"Brother Shu Hou is saying...... "Tu Xun is the leader of the Jiangnan scholars, of course, he knows a lot about that process. Catastrophe? Caoyun? One by one, the possible surnames flashed through his mind, and soon he had a guess, which was very consistent with the facts.

"Yes, it's food." Liang Chu smiled slightly, "Xie Hong is extremely good at the skills of strange silver skills, and his craftsmen are both numerous and refined, just like that treasure Zhai today, most of the ordinary silver things are not difficult for him, but this grain is different, the land of Gyeonggi still needs to be transported from the south, and the eastern part of Liaodong ...... Hehe, it's far from self-sufficient, as long as you put some effort into it......"

"What Brother Shu Hou said is not bad, it's just ......" Tu Xun was a little excited at first, and then his expression darkened, "Cutting off Liaodong's food and salary, Liaozhen will inevitably change, although it is possible to take advantage of the chaos to take Xie Hong's life, but it is not known that such a big change may affect Gyeonggi, it is really a lose-lose strategy." What's more, it is impossible for the emperor to play accurately, and if he implements it in private, wouldn't it be a matter of giving it to others? ”

"No, no." Liang Chu shook his head again and again, "So what I'm talking about is not to exterminate, but to restrict, do you know how often the food and salary in Liaozhen will be allocated?" ”

"Little brother doesn't know."

"Liaodong is far away, inconvenient to travel, in the past are allocated once a year or more, in addition to the usual use, Liaozhen can also have some surplus." Liang Chu raised a finger, and his voice turned cold: "We don't need to do the things that fall into people's hands, we just need to change the number of allocations to several times a year, and reduce the amount of each time as appropriate, and the matter will be done." ”

"I see......"

"Yes, in this way, Liaozhen has no surplus, and there will even be some shortages. And those craftsmen brought by Xie Hong can't enter Liaozhen, and naturally they can't let the imperial court pay for food, and although he brings a lot of baggage, there is not much food, and it may be able to support it next year, but in the year after tomorrow, Liaodong will inevitably lack food. ”

"Two peaches kill three soldiers, it's really a clever plan!" Tu Xun slapped the table and exclaimed loudly: "Those martial artists in Liao Town are more vulgar than the people of the Central Plains, Xie Hong is now coerced to kill the generals of Jizhen, but he can be subdued for a while, but if it is at stake, where will those people pay attention to the prestige of the imperial court?" ”

Liang Chu twisted his beard and smiled: "Wang, why bother with profit. Liaodong is located in a remote area, the road is quite dangerous, once there is a lack of food, even if you have money, it is unthinkable. Su Wenna Xie Hong has always treated craftsmen and martial artists well, and if he wants to maintain the preferential treatment of his family, he has to take food from the mouth of the Liaozhen general, so that the two sides will inevitably clash, and Chen Shiliang just takes advantage of it. ”

"Hehe, don't say that Xie Hong has a plan at that time, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to protect himself, and maybe he can make a contribution in one fell swoop." Liang Chu thought for a while, and then added: "However, that annihilation has always been cunning, and he must be well prepared. ”

"The little brother is self-saving." Tu Xun sneered: "Then Xie Hong once had the intention of opening the sea, and he was good at skills, so he had to be let go to sea to buy grain, in addition, North Korea is also adjacent to Liaodong, so it must not be guarded against." ”

"It is indeed necessary to go to sea to buy grain, and the land route to Liaodong is far away, but the sea route to Shandong and Gyeonggi is close. It doesn't hurt on the Shandong side, Governor Zhu Maogong is a native of Shaowu in Fujian, and he has always affirmed his righteousness, and he also deeply hates Xie Hong's various perverse actions. ”

Liang Chu muttered: "North Korea is also fine, as far as I know, North Korea has always been poor, and this year it has suffered a great famine, which has even caused turmoil in the DPRK situation, and there is not much surplus food available to the people, so Xie Hongzong has bought some, and it is a drop in the bucket if he thinks about it, and it should not affect the overall situation." ”

Liang Chu once again emphasized: "What we should pay attention to is still Jinggi, one is to prevent him from buying grain by sea, and the other is to prevent him from buying grain from the capital and transporting it to Liaodong, which depends on the power of his colleagues in the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Tu Xun hesitated a little when he heard this: "Brother Uncle Hou means to let me drive the fleet to block the sea route?" It's okay for a while, but if it's too long, I'm afraid that the losses of each family will also be large, so as not to outweigh the losses. ”

One of the two is from Jiangnan and the other is from Guangdong, they are familiar with the affairs of the sea route, and they are not shy about each other, Tu Xun quickly understood the meaning of Liang Chu. Each family has a fleet, and even many pirates at sea have people behind it, and it is very simple to block the Liaodong sea route, but it is just a matter of raising your hands.

But those fleets usually have to do business, if they linger in Liaodong for a long time, the losses will be great, and those pirates can't completely obey orders, how can they do things that are not beneficial?

"The Father has misunderstood, and the foolish brother is not a person who does not know the affairs of the world, how can he come up with such a countermeasure?" Liang Chu waved his hand and said, "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome, we just need to work together to raise the price of grain around Gyeonggi." ”

"Brilliant indeed!" Tu Xun's eyes lit up, and his heart suddenly brightened.

Hoarding is indeed what businessmen are best at, especially businessmen with official backgrounds, who are most familiar with this kind of thing.

This kind of merchant government does not dare to manage it, and their family has a big business, a large capital, and naturally a lot of grain to buy, and it is even more remarkable after they are united. What's more, most of the food supply in Gyeonggi depends on Cao Yun, such as the previous rumors, it might as well be released among the people.

As soon as the price of grain rises, there are rumors that the water is cut off, and it is no wonder that the people do not panic, and under the fuel, the price of grain will soar even more. In this way, even if Xie Hong has the money to buy grain, he can only buy it at a high price, how long can he hold on when Zhenbaozhai's business is sluggish?

If he really does everything to maintain Liaodong, I'm afraid that the capital will be tight, whether it is the school, the ordnance department, or the emperor's army, now it is all relying on the income of Zhenbao Zhai, once it can't be helped, then there is a great opportunity to take advantage of it.

In the final analysis, the emperor can play with the foreign court on applause, relying on soldiers and money, once these two are gone, the situation in the court will naturally return to the right track and return to the appearance of the Hongzhi period.

And under this operation, the merchants of each family can also make a lot of money. It is not only profitable, but also able to win a clear name...... Tu Xun was sure that as long as he put forward an initiative among his colleagues, he would definitely respond to the call, and for a while, his heart was completely swept away, and he was full of expectations for the future.
