Chapter 57: The Strange Lu Guogong

[I wanted to add more yesterday, there are not many yards, I'm sorry for the snow drift, two more today, thank you brothers for your support~~~ By the way, ask for a ticket]

Qin Kai heard Zhang Kui's inquiry, and looked at his proud protΓ©gΓ©, to be honest, Zhang Kui, this kid really has a lot of ability, and he doesn't understand it very well, saying that he is cynical and arrogant, and he can arrange everything to be done, and it is really easy to use.

Today, Qin Kai didn't give this guy a brainstorm, he just pointed to the sky, and said with a smile: "People are doing it, the sky is watching!" Zhang Kui, this matter is destined by God, and your teacher is not Zhuge Liang, how can he expect things to be like a god! ”

A few years later, this major incident triggered by the rise of Vietnamese Chinese power because a hawker became the fuse, was cited by some long-suppressed and distorted Vietnamese indignant youths as a huge conspiracy directed and planned by Qin Kai, which triggered a major controversy in China.

It can be said that Lu Qi's incident reflected the embarrassing position of the Chinese in Vietnam at that time, thereby accelerating the expansion of the "return" plan initiated by Qin Kai.

Qin Kai rushed back to Hue City overnight and quickly asked Nguyen Phuc Van to meet with King Nguyen Phuc Dinh of Vietnam. Although he was a fake, because of the treaty with Vietnam, the king of Vietnam and many ministers recognized it, and it was reasonable for him to meet the king of Vietnam now.

Ruan Fuying naturally hadn't figured out what this Lord Qin of the Great Qing Kingdom could do, and he thought it was for the prospecting contract! Don't you think that the promotion power of the two counties you gave is too small, and you still want to take advantage of it? But now that the contracts have been signed, there will be no more benefits attached, and it will not let go! The Iron Rooster smugly calculated.

Qin Kai didn't have the ability to read minds, if he knew that this old man still had such plans, he would definitely have to let him sign a few more contracts, and it was best to sell a piece of land to himself!

As soon as they met, Qin Kai didn't say a word, he handed over a letter of protest, sprinkled thousands of words, this is naturally not his ability, find someone to write it! Anyway, these few thousand words repeatedly emphasize one thing, the injury and robbery of the personnel of the Chinese Business Alliance this time is an insult to the Qing Dynasty, and the criminals must be handed over strictly and quickly and compensate the traders for their losses.

However, for this king of Vietnam, Qin Kai is indeed too overestimated, until now Ruan Fu Xuan has not figured out the whole story of this matter, and hurriedly called Scholar Ruan up and asked in a low voice for a long time.

In Ruan Fu Di's opinion, this is completely a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, isn't it just that the pawns guarding the city, the ruffians on the street and the Chinese merchants and hawkers that Qin Kai said have done a fight, not even one died, one was seriously injured and a few were lightly injured, but this Hue Mansion Yin is also stupid, what are you doing with these people in prison? At most, it's over with a board...... This Qin Kai is also inexplicable, and he has to make a big move to find himself for this matter!

"Scholar Ruan, how do you think this matter should be handled?" Ruan Fuying shook his hands, this meaning is very clear, this Qin Kai was received by your Ruan University Scholar, and this matter of wiping your butt is naturally arranged by you all the way.

It's hot enough in the south in this March spring weather, and Ruan Chengwen is sweating again in a hurry, "This ...... Your Majesty, Rong Chen think! ”

"This matter is actually very easy to handle, Hue City Government Yin is completely unfair in handling this matter, I ask His Majesty XiΓ  to deal with it appropriately, as for the injured pawn, it must be dealt with strictly, and the ruffians who robbed things must also be dealt with, and the things must be compensated according to the price!" Qin Kai arched his hand and looked at Ruan Chengwen and Ruan Fuying with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, what do you think of it like this?" ”

Ruan Fuying is obviously a little uncertain, Qin Kaiti's requirements are already very clear, for the core figure of a bureaucrat like Hue Mansion Yin, he can not be held accountable, but he has to give a face-saving punishment, he just needs to get face, but for the insignificant roles of the little pawn, he must be punished heavily! I don't know what Shangguo Qincha's idea is, but the most important thing now is that contract...... Soon he made up his mind.

"Lord Qin, this matter will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, please go back first, and then let you know when we discuss it!" Nguyen Phuc Trung pushed up Tai Chi and asked Scholar Ruan to send off the guests.

Out of the palace, Qin Kai came to the dock to visit the heroically injured Comrade Lu Qi, this kid is really strong, he can eat and sleep within two days of being knifed, and he looks like he is fine. Qin Kai praised the young man for his very timely conflict with the Vietnamese, and for his heroic wounding, so much so that years later, this story became a corroboration for some to believe that he planned the conflict. ,

In the Vietnamese Imperial Palace, Nguyen Phuc Dinh was listening to the opinions of several ruling ministers on the Chinese merchant hawker incident, and now there are only six or seven ministers in the court who can speak, among which there is naturally Lu Guogong Song Xing, but when discussing the affairs of this Chinese businessman in the court, this prince from Han nationality naturally chose not to say anything.

The day before yesterday, his nephew Song Ya, who was in charge of the maritime trade business, hurriedly came to him to tell him, saying that the Shangguo Qincha had established a Chinese business alliance...... Young man, he is still full of momentum.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, if it is based on this surname Qin, our Vietnamese people will have to look at the faces of these Chinese people in the future, this is a matter of face!" The person who spoke was Ruan Fuying's cousin Ruan Yiding, the official worship of General Zhendong, a black and fat barbarian, commanding tens of thousands of pro-troops in the capital, obviously he was quite polite when he spoke, and did not directly say the word remnant, after all, there was a prince from Han nationality in the hall.

"General, these pawns are a trivial matter, if Shangguo Qin sends this matter back to China, it will be difficult for him to introduce the Qing Dynasty as Austrian aid in the future!" An old minister next to him coughed twice and said in a hoarse voice.

"Your Majesty, I think it's better to punish a few small people heavily, and let the Shangguo Qincha vent his anger and it will be over, this matter happened too coincidentally, I can't let the Qincha Lord pass the matter back here, it should be resolved quickly, and the Great Qing Kingdom has nothing to accuse us!" Another old man came out, but it was half of the prime minister.

"It's not too coincidental, I think it's likely that this guy surnamed Qin is doing it!" Ruan Hei Fat suddenly shouted as if he had discovered a new continent.

There are only six or seven people in the hall, each with their own ideas, but most of them think that they should deal with this matter quickly, anyway, it is just a few pawns and a group of ruffians, and it is really worth the loss to disturb the leisure for a few people for half a day.

Ruan Fuying looked left and right, and when he saw that Song Xing was silent, he asked, "Lu Guogong, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Hearing the question, Song Xing smiled slightly, "Your Majesty, the officials of the Qing Dynasty pay the most attention to silver and face, in this matter, let us lose silver, it is absolutely impossible, but this face, I think it doesn't hurt to give enough!" ”

As soon as Iron Rooster heard it, he mentioned silver, this was his cover door, thinking of the relationship between silver and face, and this matter was also seconded by the vast majority of old ministers, he immediately decided to approve Qin Kai's request, but he selectively ignored the handling of Hue City Mansion Yin.

As soon as they met, Song Xing asked Qin Kai to retreat left and right, he walked back and forth a few times, and suddenly said, "Lord Qin knows that the ancestor of the family is Song Ping, the general of Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, two hundred years later, my family still hides the family's legacy, and I want to restore the Han people!" ”

Qin Kai was stunned when he heard this, this old Song took the wrong medicine today, tell himself this, don't you know that he is a high-ranking official of the Qing Dynasty, his face is flat, "Lu Guogong, why did you say this testament to me?" ”

Song Xing smiled, "Because ...... I have seen a lot of high-ranking officials in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, who are either old-fashioned and conservative, or greedy for money, how can there be such a style as Lord Qin! Two hundred years of generations of people have come out, could it be that Lord Qin has traveled thousands of miles to a wild place like Vietnam to gather the hearts of these scattered Chinese people for a hundred years, for the love of Beijing? β€β€œ

This guy is really unfathomable, he can see it clearly when he is trying to win people's hearts on his side, is this Song family really a righteous man who takes the anti-Qing Dynasty as his own responsibility? But he vetoed it right away...... , two hundred years later, there is still the legacy of my grandfather's grandfather and a certain Ming general, which is really a more bizarre story than the American treasure hunting blockbuster!

Qin Kai stared at Song Xing and laughed: "Lu Guogong, you think too highly of me, in fact, I am more greedy for money than most people you have ever seen, and I love money like my life, that is my true color!" ”

Song Xing gave such a tug, looked at Qin Kai, and smiled.

"Lord Qin, today I am here to tell you about that Chinese merchant and peddler, Your Majesty has already agreed to your request, but Hue Mansion Yin will not deal with it, Mansion Yin is the father-in-law of General Zhendong!" Song Xing smiled, "What I said earlier, adults can rest assured, it will never reach the ears of a third person other than you and me!" ”,

This Song Xing is really a character, he jumps and talks when he speaks, Qin Kai just wanted to figure out the number of ways of this person, and he pulled it on the head of the trader again, but obviously for now, this Song Xing obviously will not be unfavorable to him for the time being.

"Lu Guogong, what do you think about this matter?" Since Lao Song intends to hook up with him, no matter what his purpose is, Qin Kai naturally doesn't mind listening to him, after all, this Song Xing is an old land.

"Lord Qin, I thought you could win over the wrong people's hearts, the scholar is the object that needs to be wooed, what kind of climate can this merchant become, and in the southern provinces, the number of Chinese is much more than that of Hue, and the number of Chinese in the northern provinces of Vietnam is also large."

"Oh......" Qin Kai has no interest in recruiting those rotten Confucians who are all sages and sages, Song Xing's thinking is still limited after all, and it is impossible for him to know the classics of Mao Weiren's rural encirclement of the city, but the details of the Chinese residence in Vietnam are extremely important news.

"Lord Qin, the tax revenue of the three places mortgaged to you by the King of Vietnam, do you still remember, it is where the Chinese people in northern Vietnam gather......" Song Xing stopped the topic and smiled, "Lord Qin, that's all for today, come and visit another day!" ”

This Lu Guogong really made Qin Kai unable to see through, and after walking for a long time, Qin Kai was still pondering there, Song Yunze was still in his army, and it did seem to be somewhat credible. The problem that makes Qin Kai depressed now is that he only has his own team just now, and in terms of intelligence information, he has not been able to implement it, and now he relies on the help of merchants to inquire, but this way is inevitably too simple, and he has also inquired about Song Xing's news, which is all very ordinary information and does not have much value.

Soon, the news that the Chinese soldiers who had been brought to justice for the Chinese merchant and peddler Lu Qi and the wounded Vietnamese soldiers were brought to justice spread throughout the Chinese district of Hue City, which made the Chinese who had been guarding the oppression of the government all refreshed their spirits and seemed to have found the backbone, and the expansion of the Chinese business alliance and the Mutual Masonic Association, with this momentum, spread out like a fish in water.

Wu Jixiang is one of the few literate people in Wujiazhuang, and he is also a teacher in the village school, but he has no fame, as a Chinese, in Vietnam, a corrupt place, relying on reading is to starve to death, he had to accept a few students to teach Mengxue is also a livelihood.

However, because he is a warm-hearted person, and respecting teachers and teaching is one of the Chinese virtues, these overseas Chinese have more enthusiasm for inheriting the knowledge of their homeland than some people in China, so in the village, Wu Jixiang has some prestige. This time, the village elected a village committee member and a village representative, and he was elected as the village representative by a high number of votes. For this reason, he was also excited for a long time, and after a long time, he was very actively involved in the promotion of Freemasonry.

But now is really an eventful autumn, Wujiazhuang's student soldiers have just withdrawn a few days, the back foot of the county Yali messengers rushed to collect the first half of the rent, responsible for the rent collection is Xianghe Town's official Li Yuan, for these bereaved families, that can not be polite, this group of errands immediately made the village chickens and dogs jump, the chickens and ducks of each household suddenly suffered, but the villagers dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.

All the families were called to the middle of the village, and Li Yuan held a notice and read it aloud, "...... Levy 300 catties of rice per household and 500 wen per household for half a year, and pay it immediately without delay......

Hearing that the rent and copper money had risen, and the 500 copper money settlement fee he had just received had been lost again, villager Chen Gang took the lead in asking: "Bad official, why is the rent rising again today, and the rent has also risen by 100 yuan, this field is just a few acres, and I can't afford to pay the rent if I go on like this!" ”

"yes...... Yes, why is this rent rising every year, and the harvest is so early today, and the first crop of rice is not ripe! ”

"Bad officer, can this copper coin be folded into grain?"

"I don't let people live, I haven't ripened a single crop of rice, so I levy millet so early!"

For a while, hundreds of households below were clamoring and shouting, because each household did not have much grain in stock, and the rent that they thought would come back to collect when the rice was ripe came so early.

Li Yuan's face was as black as a briquette, and these dead people who were as docile as sheep in previous years, how could they be bold today, they waved their hands at that time, and several officials stepped forward to pull out an old man in the front row, killing chickens and monkeys first, and killing the courage of these people.

"Old man Wang, do you pay the rent?" Li Yuan asked viciously. ,

",! But Lord Errand, there is not so much grain at home, can you give some grace! The old man was frightened and replied tremblingly.

Li Yuan went up and kicked the old man to the ground, and scolded and said in his mouth, "If you don't pay now, you will resist rent, you old thing seems to have lived enough, come on, tie this dead old man to the side, I want to see who else can follow him!" ”

Two officials stepped forward to grab the old man, took out the rope to tie up people, which immediately caused a commotion among the villagers below, the old man who was arrested was Chen Gang's neighbor, taking advantage of the opportunity for everyone to push and shove with the officials, Chen Gang and a few young people went up to snatch Wang Laohan back.

The officials who are powerful and good on weekdays are also stunned, why are these Chinese so bold today, and they dare to come up and rob people...... However, this group of excited appearances even Li Yuan was suppressed.

At this time, nearly ten villagers came from behind the crowd, and everyone saw that they all gave way one after another, led by a man in his thirties wearing a long robe, it was Wu Jixiang, the village representative of the Mutual Masonic Association, who had just been elected as a representative, and when he encountered this kind of thing, he naturally felt that he needed to stand up and speak a fair word for the villagers without hesitation.

"The representative is here......" The villagers encountered something at this time, and the weight of this representative was enough at once, and they all gathered behind Wu Jixiang, which made him who was a little thin also high-spirited.

Li Yuan looked at Wu Jixiang with a dark face, this person has seen it, it seems to be the gentleman of the school here, it is just a literate remnant, this kind of person can be used for a P, and he is not frightened by a frightened person, his tense face asked viciously: "Hey, what do you say, do you want to stand up for these villagers!" ”

Wu Ji came out for the first time, and he was still playing a small drum in his heart, but thinking that he was the representative elected by hundreds of people in this village, not to mention that behind this Mutual Masonic Association was Lord Qin, who was not a Chinese hawker a few days ago to the soldiers of Hue City, didn't Lord Qin personally go to the king of Vietnam to seek justice, thinking of this, his courage also grew.

"This errand officer, I am the representative elected by the village Mutual Masonic Association," he turned to look at the villagers behind him, "I will now reason with you on behalf of hundreds of people of all ages in our village!" ”

"Mr. Wu is doing well!" "We didn't choose the wrong ......," the people behind him cheered loudly.

Li Yuan was also stunned, a Mutual Masonic Association popped up with this matter, stepped forward and pushed Wu Jixiang with a big hand, pushing Wu Jixiang staggering, "Fuck you N, Lao Tzu is talking to you here, it's to give face to you remnants, what kind of bullshit Mutual Masonic Association, and reason with Lao Tzu, where to fight, where to go!" ”

"How can you do it!" Wu Ji couldn't do it, his bones were quite hard, and he immediately pushed to the front again, "Bastard!" Do you know who runs the Freemasons? ”

"Dare to scold Lao Tzu for being a bastard, and Lao Tzu will show you! It doesn't matter who did it, if you don't pay the rent right away today, I'll let you see who is talking and counting here! ”

"Bastard......" Wu Jixiang couldn't help but explode again, and suddenly the two sides began to make physical contact.

Seeing that the deputies and committee members were beaten by the officials, the young men in the village behind rushed up with red eyes, and immediately had an overwhelming advantage in numbers, Li Yuan kicked a few times, ate a few fists, and pulled out a long knife with a grin, "Cut me!" ”
