0019 The hand behind it
It rained heavily in Yushu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Raindrops were constantly dripping from the eaves of the building.
Ning Feixuan was in the hall and looked at the falling raindrops, looking extremely leisurely.
"Mr. Ning, Lord Taishou is invited."
"Okay, I'll go."
Ning Feixuan came to Yuzhou Taishou Mansion and found that the atmosphere inside was a little different from the past.
"Mr. Ning, in the future, please continue to handle the cotton purchase for Yuzhou."
Yuan Sen said to Ning Feixuan in a serious tone.
Ning Feixuan pretended to be surprised.
"What? Didn't Lord Yuan investigate the unification of Huizhou with the shooting and wounding of the capital? β
Yuan Sen said,
"That's also a move made by Mr. in a hurry, in the final analysis, it's also for our Yuzhou's cotton.
Not only will the old man not blame you, but he will even reward you heavily. β
"What?" Ning Feixuan pretended to be very moved.
"Lord Taishou, your affection cannot be repaid.
Only by better helping Yuzhou to buy more cotton can we repay the great kindness of Lord Taishou. β
After Yuan Sen heard this, his face twitched slightly, and he couldn't easily notice it without careful observation.
"Okay, then Mr. will clean up and prepare for the next cotton convoy."
"Yes, but there is one thing I would like to ask you to explain.
If we encounter a cotton convoy in Huizhou again, what should we do? β
Yuan Sen said meaningfully,
"I have given the general matter of buying cotton to my husband.
Leave everything to your own discretion, I have a lot of trust in him. β
"Okay, then let's go to the convoy that is going to buy cotton."
After coming out of the Taishou Mansion, Ning Feixuan scolded Yuan Sen in his heart,
"This old fox, what do you say let me assert myself, it's not convenient for me to make trouble with Huizhou in the future, so it's convenient for me to carry the black pot.
It's a pity, it's a pity, no matter how cunning you old fox is, how can you compare to the clever emperor. β
Thinking of this, Ning Feixuan took two quick steps, returned to his own building, wrote a secret report of what happened today, and asked someone to send it to Chen Xi.
"Hahaha."
Chen Xi was in the palace and couldn't help but laugh out loud when he saw the secret report sent by Ning Feixuan.
"This Ning Feixuan, his acting skills are really slippery, and he actually acted in such an affectionate play with Yuan Sen, an old fox."
"Then he still has to thank his emperor for giving him such a generous gift, so that he can get Yuan Sen, otherwise, Ning Feixuan at this moment is afraid that he has already been tied up by Yuan Sen and sent to Huizhou." The system responds to the channel.
"Actually, I was inspired by you." Chen Xi said with a smile.
"You asked me to check whose hands the big textile workshop and dyeing workshop in Yuzhou were in that day, and we found out that they were all in charge of Yuan Sen's cronies.
Then Huizhou's cotton procurement is also done by Huizhou Taishou's wife and brother.
It can be seen that in Yuzhou and Huizhou, as long as it is related to cotton, it is all fat, and there are people who are too trustworthy to be responsible.
Since it is a fat difference, the oil and water in it are naturally very rich.
Those who are sent to do things do not have these benefits in mind.
Naturally, everyone will pluck the feathers from the geese and try to deduct them.
Although the two states will think of this layer, they will also turn a blind eye to their cronies.
But they must not have imagined how dark the person they thought they could trust actually became.
And the people who have benefited, in order not to be discovered by Taishou, will in turn send some benefits to the people around Taishou, so that a black network has been formed.
And only Taishou is the one who is outside this network.
So if we want to change Yuan Sen's mind, we just need to let the people around Yuan Sen keep the same tone. β
I believe that a clear-eyed person can already find clues from Chen Xi's words and guess how Chen Xi acted to change Yuan Sen's idea of using Ning Feixuan as a scapegoat.
Chen Xi first asked Lu Qiu, who was in charge of Lingzhou, to check the account books of Lingzhou and Yuzhou cotton in recent years.
Then I found that the cotton shipped from Lingzhou was not a little different from the cotton that finally entered Yuzhou City.
Where these deficits have gone, naturally it is related to the officials of Yuzhou who used to buy cotton.
Then he followed the vine and touched the melon, and mastered the handle of the entire officialdom in Yuzhou.
The day before Yuan Sen convened a meeting of his staff and officials, Chen Xi's secret envoy had already gone to Yuzhou, and the following plot took place in their mansion.
"My lord, tomorrow Lord Taishou will convene a meeting to discuss how to deal with Ning Feixuan, a merchant who buys cotton for Yuzhou."
"yes."
"I don't know how the adults are going to meet the Taishou."
"Ning Feixuan was so bold that he dared to shoot and injure the wife and brother of Huizhou Taishou, destroying the harmonious relationship between Yuzhou and Huizhou.
Naturally, I want to meet Taishou and ask Ning Feixuan for his guilt. β
"There is a reluctant invitation in the next place, Ning Feixuan has been kind to him in the past, so he came here this time to specifically ask the adults to intercede for Ning Feixuan."
"Thisβwhy should I help you?"
"This is five hundred taels of silver, please smile at it."
"Hahaha, are you asking for food when I do? Five hundred taels of silver, and you can take it.
Come on, send off guests. β
"Wait a minute, sir.
These five hundred taels of silver are just an addition, and the real generous gift is the official hat on the head of the adult. β
"What? What do you mean? β
"My lord, look at this ledger, which records the benefits you have made in cotton harvesting over the past five years.
I can leave this one directly to you, so that you can go to the back hall and check with your own account book to see if it is accurate.
If you want something older, like ten years ago, you can do that. β
Adults are already sweating like rain.
"Well, did you hear what I said clearly?"
"Listen, hear clearly, I know what to do."
"Okay, since that's the case, then I'll take my leave."
It was through this method that when Yuan Sen convened the court meeting on the second day, there would be a situation of one-sided speaking for Ning Feixuan.
Now Ning Feixuan once again sorted out the convoy and prepared to set off.
Chen Xi informed him in advance and asked him to prepare a convoy of 100 carriages this time, and to make a big show in Yuzhou City before leaving, it is best to let all the people in Yuzhou City know the size of the convoy this time.
Ning Feixuan did everything according to Chen Xi's explanation, and sure enough, the conversations of the people of Yuzhou in the past few days were all focused on this super-large-scale cotton buying fleet.
After Ning Feixuan's convoy came to Lingzhou, Lingzhou went against the previous norm of never selling a cart of cotton to Yuzhou, but responded to Ning Feixuan's requests.
It is no wonder that who Lingzhou's cotton is sold to and who it is not sold to is itself a sentence from Lu Qiu, the actual ruler of Lingzhou, that is, it is actually a sentence from Chen Xi.
So soon, Ning Feixuan's super-large fleet was all filled with high-quality cotton from Lingzhou.
Yuzhou's convoy was full of cotton and set off from Lingzhou, and this time, Ning Feixuan also deliberately hung a big Yuzhou flag on each carriage.
What is Chen Xi's next plan?
