The person on the side pinched Hai Rui's sweat, but he took this seal and said, "Fake, right?!" ”

Hu Gongzi glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about, this is my father's favorite seal!" ”

"You have to be careful with the forgery!" Hai Rui sneered and said, "Who doesn't know the honorific name of the Lord of the Ministry Hall, Merlin, you are a different word." ”

Hu Gongzi took it and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "My father's original name is Merlin, don't you know?" ”

"You said it was the original, and the original was expired!" Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "How can the Lord of the Ministry give you an expired seal!" As he spoke, he overturned Hu Gongzi to the ground, and asked sharply: "Say, who are you, why do you want to pretend to be Hu Gongzi, and what kind of intentions do you have?" ”

"I'm really Junin!" Hu Gongzi was a little scared, and quickly explained: "I took this seal from my father's study, maybe I accidentally took it wrong......

"Still quibbling!" Hai Rui snorted coldly, flipped his hand and said, "Fight!" ”

The whips of the officials are authentic cowhide whips, and they can be whipped a hundred times against the wicker, and a few whips will go down, and Hu Gongzi will be beaten to the skin and flesh, and the soul will not possess the body, and the terrible cry will cross the night sky, startling the old eagles one by one.

"But it's really ...... Zhu Qianshou didn't dare to look at it, they actually didn't have any doubts about the identity of Hu Gongzi, it was indeed genuine." But it was precisely because of this that he was shocked, is there anyone in the world who Hai Rui does not dare to fight?

After a few whips, Hu Gongzi was honest, and he no longer dared to say that he was Hu Gongzi, and shouted: "I don't have a surname Hu, I don't have a surname anymore......"

"Whoever the surname is and where the place of origin is, all of them will be truthfully reported." After Hai Rui finished speaking, he instructed the scribe again: "Start recording." ”

"Ancestor, what do you want me to give me a last name?" Hu Gongzi said mournfully.

"Don't remember that." Hai Rui glanced at the scribe and said to the official with the whip, "Help him remember." ”

'Pap, pap......' The three whips went down, and Hu Gongzi immediately remembered and shouted: "My name is Wang Wu, a native of Hangzhou...... I'm not the son of Governor Hu, I'm cheating and drinking everywhere under his banner......"

Hai Rui asked the scribe to record the confession of 'Wang Wu' in detail, and then ordered him to sign and draw the confession, saying: "According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, pretending to be an official eunuch and the children of an official eunuch to deceive should be punished with eighty rods and five years in prison." ”

Junin was so stunned that he fainted.

Seeing that 'Wang Wu' fainted, Zhu Qianshou hurriedly pulled Hai Rui aside and said, "No, do you really want to deal with him?" ”

"I scared him." Hai Rui said a little helplessly: "I didn't think that this kid was too cowardly." ”

"How are you going to end up?" Zhu Qianshou asked.

"I'll write a letter to Governor Hu." Hai Rui said lightly: "Then send the prisoner and the confession together." He also commanded: "Twenty taels of the stolen goods brought by the prisoners will be allocated to the post for soup and medicine, and the rest will be confiscated!" ”

Hu Ning had just woken up, and when he heard Hai Rui's words, he fainted again.

God is pitiful, this time I went to Suzhou, and the officials from all walks of life saw that the governor's son was also coming, and they all made up a generous gift, adding up to more than 100,000 taels of silver.

Ten days later, the officials of Kunshan County, with a feeling of being depressed and cold, sent the 'human prisoners' and their testimony to the governor's palace.

Along the way, through the observation of the words and deeds of this gang of 'liars', they can basically determine that Lord Hai is out of sight, and Wang Wubacheng is Hu Gongzi! I guess I won't be able to eat anymore and walk around...... But no, they were recognized by the guards at the door, rescued the 'five kings', and then tied them up to meet the governor.

When Hu Zongxian saw his son's embarrassed appearance, he was really angry at first, and said in his heart, isn't this a slap in the face of someone Hu? Then he unfolded the letter that Hai Rui gave him with a gloomy face, and saw that it was to the effect: "Dear Governor, it is very presumptuous to write to you after a few days of absence, but today it is said that a gang of villains, led by Wang Wu, forged your seal letter, pretended to be Linglang Hu Gongzi, defrauded silver everywhere, smelled into the post station, forcibly extorted wine, meat and food, beat the post station officials, reported to the official, closed the case in the first instance, the criminal confessed truthfully, and now the prisoner and the confession and all the stolen goods are escorted to the province. 'Yunyun.

Looking at the testimony and evidence, Hu Zongxian said: 'Okay, even the case is closed! He is so depressed, of course he knows that Hai Rui is fabricating a lie and beating him into a trick, but he, the great governor, can't overturn the case! Isn't that right, that's my son? Isn't it tantamount to admitting that he indulged his son's misdeeds and was overbearing? Where to put your big face?

Hu Zongxian had a hard time, so he could only suffer this dumb loss, let go of the officials who escorted Hu Ning, and said warmly: "I accepted this person, I have worked hard for you." So he ordered them to be taken to dinner, and then sent them on the road with a plate of dishes, and specially told them not to embarrass them.

"Dad, why did you just let them go?" Hu Ning said aggrieved and indignant, and before the words fell, he was shaved by his father's big ear, and his eyes were full of stars.

"Your father and my old face have been disgraced by you!" I only heard Hu Zongxian roar: "From today onwards, you are not allowed to go out, you are not allowed to see those fox friends and dog friends, you are not allowed to go to the casino Qinglou, write me 2,000 words a day, and if you can't do it, you are not allowed to eat!" Did you hear that!! ”

Hu Gongzi was silent and nodded more than once. He originally thought that he would forget about avoiding this burst of limelight, but who knew that this level would be a year, and when he was released, he would never dare to set foot in the territory of Suzhou Mansion again...... The lesson is too profound.

Hai Rui explained with his actions that the original 'torture into a trick' is not only the patent of faint officials and corrupt officials, but he also learned to use this trick, not only severely punished the evil youth, but also made his father unable to blame, so that he was safe and sound, and was rumored to be a beautiful talk for a while.

As everyone knows, if it weren't for the silence covering him, a few Hai Rui would have been cleaned up by Hu Butang's minions.

After Hu Gongzi got out, Xu Wei and the others also went back to Shaoxing, and their hearts were empty all of a sudden, but fortunately, life had to go on, and they had to live day by day.

As for the 'auspicious' white deer, Governor Hu sent two thousand soldiers on ten fast boats to escort the big ship with the flag of the governor of the southeast to send the pair of rare white deer to Yanjing. Along the way, all kinds of ships gave way, and the fleet sailed smoothly and unimpeded, and arrived at Yanjing City at the end of September.

It is said that on the day he arrived in Yanjing City, the emperor sent Yan Song and Xu Jie, the two bigwigs to greet Xiangrui together, which shows how much attention is paid to this. The white deer, which was bigger than the prince, was welcomed to the West Garden, and Emperor Jiajing saw that it was really genuine, not smeared with paint...... This is all carefully pitted!

For a while, the emperor was very relieved, even if he bathed in incense and practiced in retreat, he should thank God for his generous gifts, and before entering, he also let the cabinet discuss how to reward Hu Zongxian.

Wait until half a month later, the emperor went out of the customs refreshed, and got the good news again, saying that Zhoushan found a white deer again, the first one has been sent to Yanjing, it is a female, the second one is still on the way, it is a male, male and female, yin and yang, it is the sincerity of my Ming Emperor's fasting that touched the heavens; The merit of repairing the Taoist temple caused the heavens and men to respond, so that the white deer came again.

Of course, this statement is from "Re-entering the White Deer Table", and it is still drafted by Xu Wei...... If you want to talk about the use of the resources at hand, no one can really compare to Hu Zongxian. Even if it was a ghostly silence, he felt that Hu Zongxian would definitely send the two albino deer to Yanjing together, and the emperor would definitely be very happy, and then take the opportunity to reflect that he had an unpleasant relationship with Ruan Yi, and then he almost achieved his goal.

Who knew that Hu Zongxian actually asked Xu Wei to write two articles, "Into the White Deer Table" and "Re-enter the White Deer Table", dismantling a pair of white deer, sending one first, and then sending another one after half a month, the effect is not as simple as one plus one equals two, but magnified ten times, twenty times!

Because in people's eyes, the appearance of a white deer may be accidental, but the appearance of another one is inevitable, and the two can be matched, that is terrifying!

Even an atheist had to mutter, 'It seems that there is something unclear...... not to mention Emperor Jiajing, who was bent on defecting to his Heavenly Father.

In fact, this is thanks to Xu Wei, who served the emperor by his side, was familiar with Taoism, was familiar with the palace affairs, and was more familiar with the emperor's psychology.

Jiajing really thought that he had sincerely moved the heavens, a fifty-year-old man, and he was excited to fly in the hall like a bird, and he still laughed when he fell on his heels. got up and went to the Taimiao to comfort the ancestors and ancestors, saying that your grandson and I have a future, this time God really descended auspicious!

At the same time, the congratulatory tables of hundreds of officials came like snowflakes, which made Emperor Jiajing even more happy...... You must know that the officials of the Ming Dynasty seem to be very incompatible with the emperor, and they are not blindly flattering. For example, on the New Year's Day of the 33rd year of Jiajing, because the officials and ministers were dissatisfied with Emperor Jiajing's cruel treatment of the officials, he favored Yan Song, and was instigated by him, and treated the ministers harshly, so as to frighten the people's hearts and suppress speech. He refused to congratulate Wanshou as usual, and although Sejong was furious, he ordered forty canes from each court to beat everyone's skin and flesh, but he did not make another congratulatory sheet.

Now hundreds of officials have come to congratulate them, which shows the political impact caused by the two white deer, and the emperor has to do a hundred good things by himself. How can you say that Emperor Jiajing can't help but laugh?

So the two albino deer sent separately, plus two ode sheets with a total of less than 1,000 words, in exchange for Hu Zongxian's promotion from the rank of squire in the military department, to the secretary of the military department, with a rhino belt around his waist, wearing a scarlet robe, and a brocade chicken on his chest, he became a member of the second grade, and the first person in the authentic place!

Ruan He, who had fought against him, suddenly went soft, knowing that the other party's holy family was Zhenglong, and if he continued to entangle, he could only bring humiliation on himself, so he took the initiative to apply for transfer to Fujian as governor, and the post of governor of Zhejiang was concurrently held by Hu Zongxian.

At this point, the southeast has become Hu Zongxian's complete hall! There were no more constraints, and a solid foundation was laid for concentrating forces to resist the Japanese invasion...... also laid a gray foreshadowing for his future fate...... Of course, that's all later, and then back to Suzhou City, at this time the sky is high and the clouds are light, the forests are dyed, and a golden autumn scenery.

In order to complete the project before next year's flood season, and at the same time 600,000 people are busy on the land, Shen Mo has already added three budgets, spending a total of 1.8 million taels of silver. According to the latest estimates, if the project is to be completed on time with quality and quantity, it will need to add about 2 million taels.

It was three times higher than the original budget, on the one hand, because of the diversion of the Huangpu River, which added a large part of the budget; On the other hand, it is because of the stock exchange that financing is no longer a problem -- all big businessmen are optimistic about Wu Songjiang's future prospects. He was also willing to give generously to buy bonds issued by Shen Mo, because they were collateralized by Wu Songjiang's future earnings.

Since the financial problem is no longer a problem, Shen Mo decided to solve the chronic problem of Wusongjiang at one time, so that Suzhou Prefecture will no longer be trapped by floods and droughts within 50 years, so that the future 'Wusong-Huangpu' shipping line can bear the huge freight volume.

Yes, the future is good, for example, Ruohan's stomach has seen changes, it is said that as long as he is healthy at this time, there will be no major incidents, which makes Shen Mo very happy; Rou Niang also became more and more resentful, and every time she looked at her silent eyes, she seemed to have an accusation. To say that this silence is perverted enough, the more it is like this, the more anxious I become, and I don't know what to think.

It's not all good news, for example, Lu Ji's gang is like mud cows into the sea, and there is no news, and the Gu poison of Su Xue's sister and brother is still unresolved, and they have to endure the pain of devouring bones every time, which makes Su Xue, who is a sister, always feel like a knife, but she is still helpless.

But what is admirable is that in the case of such physical and mental torture, she still trained the silent singing and dancing team with a sound and impressive performance, which is second to none in Suzhou City...... Of course, this is also related to the level of the singing and dancing troupe itself.

It's just that Su Xue doesn't understand, isn't the City Shipping Division in charge of doing business with the outside world? Spend so much money to train a singing and dancing class? Is it impossible to sell human beings?

When she finally couldn't help it and asked Shen Mo this question, Shen Mo laughed and said, "You think too much, I'm not going to do that kind of thing that lacks Degas and smokes." Then Zhengse said: "I was about to tell you that in three days, the first performance will be held here, and you have to urge them to prepare well." ”

"Is it just a show?" Su Xue asked softly.

"It's not." Shen Mo shook his head and said: "It's a display, to be precise, it's to display our products in an artistic atmosphere." "Although the future is good, the reality is not so optimistic -- it has been more than a month since the port of Suzhou was opened, but the statistical table of the city shipping department shows only less than 1 million taels of trade, as for the tariff revenue, it is only 30,000 taels, plus the income of the auction house, it is only 50,000 taels, far below the silent expectations.

After visiting, he found that the reason why the merchants refused to pay for the purchase of goods was due to two reasons: first, they wanted others to go first to see if the business was safe; The second is that he made a mistake in design, leveling the auction house to auction the goods, only the name and quantity, but not the real thing, so that the businessmen, especially foreign businessmen, who are accustomed to 'not seeing rabbits and eagles', cannot make up their minds.

Since he found the problem, Shen Mo naturally had to find a way to solve it, one was to ask Yu Dayou, the chief soldier of Su Song, to send a fleet to escort him. Of course, General Yu was not allowed to do it in vain, and according to the total weight of the cargo of the escorted fleet, he had to pay a considerable amount of escort freight. Of course, this money will not be paid by the city, but in line with the principle of 'who benefits, who pays', so that those escorted merchants will break the fee.

The fear of risks at sea made merchants willing to pay for it; And for Yu Dayou, who dreamed of building a big ship and improving equipment, he was also willing to accept this deal, and the two sides hit it off and signed a protection treaty under the leadership of Shen Mo, Yu Dayou's navy will escort from Chongming Island to Haojingao, and then return, and the protection fee income for a round trip is enough for him to build two big ships!

As for the latter question, Shen Mo decided to hold a product launch conference, at first he wanted to learn from the 'Canton Fair' and the like in later generations, but when he thought about the kind of marketing like catching up with a big set, it was only suitable for selling some cheap goods. According to those Western merchants, an ordinary piece of porcelain in the Ming Dynasty, a foot of silk, to Europa, will become a luxury item for ordinary families!

And according to silent historical knowledge, before the Opium War three hundred years later, these commodities also won a large net inflow of silver for the Chinese political axe!

With such a long-term best-selling hard goods, it is natural to make a good plan, make a high-end brand, and then drive the sales of the middle and low-end, which is the only way to make money. This is a question of pricing power, if you sell your good things cheaply, it is equivalent to giving the pricing power to others, let people buy at a low price, and then ship it back to sell it at a high price, all the money is earned by them, and you are scolded as a fool.

This kind of thing is silent, he wants to take the pricing power into his own hands. So I carefully designed a product launch conference and invited all the wealthy businessmen to participate, and the time was set for three days!
