Chapter 78: Zong and Wei's Meeting (2)

After Fan Yonglin withdrew, Zong Hu went straight to the point and said: "Father-in-law, if there is anything, even if you tell me, you will do your best to do it." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info has admired his father-in-law for a long time.,I've been looking for an opportunity to get close to my father-in-law.,But I've been suffering from no chance.。 Now I didn't expect to be able to meet my father-in-law in Shanxi. It's flattering to think about it. ”

Wei Zhongxian smiled faintly and said, "Master Zong is polite, and my father-in-law is also very happy to have the honor to meet such a young talent. If we have the opportunity, we should find a quiet and elegant hotel and have a few drinks. ”

Zong Hu was also very excited to feel the closeness in Wei Zhongxian's words, and to be praised by those he admired. At this moment, Zong Hu's face was slightly flushed. However, Wei Zhongxian's next words made Zong Hu fall into an ice cave and feel the slightest coolness.

Wei Zhongxian only paused for a moment, and then continued: "Master Zong, this father-in-law's visit this time is only for one thing, and the emperor is ready to do it. It is necessary to control Shanxi's coal as quickly as possible, otherwise, it will hinder the emperor's plan. ”

Zong Hu tried to see something on Wei Zhongxian's face, but he didn't notice anything. So, I couldn't help but ask, "What if someone deliberately obstructs it?" I only have the power of the Emperor's Coal Division, but I don't have the power to move people. Therefore, the lowly position is in order, and it is slowly being figured out. ”

Wei Zhongxian sighed and said, "Master Zong, how can the emperor not know that such a thing takes time, but the situation is urgent, and the matter is urgent, and the matter is urgent, and this is also a last resort. ”

Zong Hu's psychology chuckled, knowing that something big was about to happen. Therefore, he asked impatiently: "Father-in-law, these days of humble office, I only care about the errand assigned by the emperor, and wander among the magnates in Shanxi, but I don't know what is going to happen." ”

Wei Zhongxian may have been thirsty, took a sip of tea, and continued: "It's strange to say, over the years, my father-in-law has been in charge of the East Factory, and the distributed eyeliner has already entered all corners of the Ming Dynasty, but he still hasn't found any clues. However, a few days ago, my father-in-law received a secret edict from the emperor, which ordered my father-in-law to secretly investigate the unquiet forces in Shanxi. Does Master Zong know what he found? ”

"Please forgive me for not knowing, and I hope to make a public announcement." Zong Hu was very surprised, why didn't he find any movement.

Wei Zhongxian smiled and said, "Master Zong is also from Shanxi, so he should be very familiar with the situation in Shanxi. Then tell me, why is Zhangjiakou so developed? ”

For this problem, Zong Hu is very clear, and it is not an exaggeration to use it well, he thought for a while and said: "There are two main reasons: First, the geographical location of Zhangjiakou is very special, and Zhangjiakou is the main road to the grassland in Beijing. Here, it is at the intersection of agriculture and nomadism, so the tea and horse market in Zhangjiakou has made the merchants here. Around the Wanli period, the tea and horse market here has been small-scale. Second, Zhangjiakou businessmen colluded with local officials to sell strategic steel and other materials in order to make huge profits. ”

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he still only smiled faintly, he was not surprised that Zong Hu was able to answer, after all, the emperor was able to put such a heavy burden in his hands, if this person did not have talent, it was basically an impossible task. However, there is one thing Zong Hu didn't expect that not only did officials participate here to enrich their own pockets, but more seriously, there were Daming clans involved.

But now is not the time to tell Zong Hu, the time is not yet ripe. This will not be until Zonghu completely controls the coal division in Shanxi, and only by firmly controlling the coal resources in his hands can Chongzhen play with this clan between applause.

Therefore, Wei Zhongxian said: "Master Zong, what you said is very good, since Zhangjiakou has such an important position, it must also contain huge business opportunities, you must grasp it well, and don't let down the emperor's trust." ”
