The soldiers of the Yamen Brigade of the Political Envoy carried the tiger head card of silence and avoidance, and the gold-lettered official title cards such as "Hand-appointed Zhejiang Governor", "Ci Jinshi Origin", "Tongfeng Doctor" and so on were dazzling, and everyone knew that it was Li Sixian, the political envoy of the province, who had arrived.

Chen Baisha respectfully greeted each other in front of the sedan chair, two arrogant servants opened the sedan curtain one left and one right, and Li Sixian came out proudly.

I saw that this political envoy was wearing a crimson embroidered official uniform, wearing a black gauze hat, a second-grade brocade chicken on his chest, and a rhino horn belt around his waist, which was really majestic.

Although he only wore the green robe of the seven-rank official, the black gauze hat on his head was not the black gauze hat of an ordinary civil official, but the crown of the pig that patrolled the imperial history, and the chest was hung with a hedgehog supplement, with a rebellious expression, quite a state of self-pride, which was the eight mansion patrols in the drama on behalf of the sky patrol hunting, the first decision and the then play.

These two stepped out of the sedan chair and behaved exactly the same as Gonggong Huang and Foreman Huo in front, but the object of praise and criticism completely fell off.

The two adults first looked at the color spray in the east, and snorted angrily from their noses, obviously extremely dissatisfied with the Wufeng Maritime Merchant; then replied to Chen Baixia, and immediately turned into a pleasant face.

"How can our sea shark club be able to invite Li Fangbo and Liu Xun to come to enjoy the light? The two officials are as clear as water and as bright as a mirror, and we regard them as compassionate parents, and we are so fortunate to be here today! Chen Baixia was overjoyed and slapped the two backers on the back.

Li Sixian stared at Wufeng Maritime Shang resentfully, his son Li Jia's whole body bones were almost dismantled by Niu Dali, and now he was still lying on the bed and humming, could he not hold a grudge against Jin Yingji and Qin Lin?

Turning his head and looking at Chen Baisha with a smile, this Fang Bo (another name for the political envoy) looked much better, and said in a deep voice:

"The Sea Shark Club is a serious businessman, and the two leaders of Chen and Zhao are the sons of Shenzhou who are enthusiastic about the ancient road, and they have done many good deeds in building bridges and paving roads in the local area, and there are many good deeds in helping the poor, which has long been heard of in this official office. This time, it is ordered to open the sea to Hangzhou, prosper the market, and pay taxes, and your association has a great responsibility, so this museum has to look at it differently, and come here to inspect and encourage. ”

Li Sixian is a political envoy from the second grade, and his own identity is more subtle.

That Liu Tidao's surname is narrow, and he is a humble and powerful patrol imperial history, so he is even more unscrupulous, pointing to Sang scolding Huai:

"I heard that there are overseas people who take advantage of the eunuch party to do evil, and this official thinks that I am bright and clear, and the sky is clear, and there is no such thing. This official is ordered by the emperor to patrol the heavens on behalf of the emperor, and it is his duty to correct lawlessness, so he will stay here, but to see what he wants! ”

After that, Liu Tidao threw down his wide sleeves, and his legs wearing foundation soap boots took square steps, his eyes were round and open like the angry eyes of King Kong, and his thick eyebrows were like Bao Gong's judgment.

It's a pity that the people did not cheer for the eight governors who killed corrupt officials and redressed unjust cases as they did on the stage or in the books, but there was a silent silence.

For the performance of this patrol according to the imperial history, people look at each other: sea sharks will oppress the people, squeeze small and medium-sized businessmen, and even seek money and kill people, and the crimes can be said to be known to women and children in Hangzhou, and everyone is looking forward to Wufeng maritime merchants to come and compete with it, although Wufeng maritime merchants are not necessarily good people, but as long as there is competition, it is better than a single family!

Why didn't the patrol lord uphold justice for the people like on the stage, but instead believed in his words and pointed to the deer as a horse?

The smart man has already seen some clues, and it seems that the patrol master is not all as good as the stage stage, maybe...... Liu Tidao was bored, a deliberately contrived performance did not receive any effect, fortunately, there was also a Chen Baixia who knew and was interested, and quickly took the lead in applauding, and those sea shark clubs' tents, shopkeepers, buddies, and thugs were stunned, and they also screamed in a mess, so they covered their faces for Liu Xun.

As soon as the political envoy and the patrol press, these two top high-ranking officials in Hangzhou and even the whole of Zhejiang, sat in the color shed of the Sea Shark Club, the situation immediately changed.

The people who had already entered the Wufeng Maritime Merchant Shed began to walk out in embarrassment.

There was a businessman who spoke Huguang dialect and was talking with the shopkeeper of Wufeng Maritime Merchant, and someone patted him on the back behind him: "Wang Yuanwai, don't you look at the wind?" Go, go! ”

The Wang Yuanwai looked back, the political envoy and the full deacon of the imperial history stopped in front of the colorful shed of the Sea Shark Club opposite, and the two adults were sitting in the shed.

Even so, he was still not at ease, and the person who reminded him just now lowered his head and covered his face with his sleeve, for fear that the sea shark would remember his appearance and be retaliated by them.

There's no way, there are countless bloody lessons ahead, don't dare to be unguarded!

But back in the open field, Wang Yuanwai and his friends are in trouble again, the sea shark will be fierce and domineering, and there are political envoys and patrols to support the imperial history, is it easy to provoke the Wufeng maritime merchants?

Those fierce and vicious Jinyi lieutenants and Dongchang fans, when they saw them withdraw from the colorful shed of the Wufeng maritime merchants, they all stared fiercely, and many of them still put their hands on the handle of the embroidered spring knife, which seemed to say: "Hmph, I want to see who dares to go to the colorful shed of the Sea Shark Club?" Could it be that our Dongchang and Jinyiwei are vegetarians? ”

This is called a dilemma, and the businessmen have become Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror - they are not people inside and outside.

"Mom, why is it so difficult to do business?" Wang Yuanwai simply sat on the ground, his voice dragging and crying.

A small number of bold businessmen weighed the pros and cons, stomped their feet, and walked to the color shed in the east: "Let's go, there is a risk of offending any side, in business, let's go to the Wufeng maritime merchants who have a high purchase price and a low wholesale price!" ”

Of course, there are also people who are afraid of the murderous reputation of the Sea Shark Society, and reluctantly walk to the west color shed: "Alas, there is no way, offending the sea shark will have to lose its head, offending the Wufeng Maritime Merchant is not so serious, we would rather offend the latter." ”

For a time, a small number of businessmen entered the east and west sheds, and most of them remained in the open space, watching, hesitating, and undecided.

There was another stirring in the distance, and a large group of people walked over their shoulders, like a stream of fresh water poured into the crowded crowd, and immediately attracted attention.

Whether it is Huang Gonggong and Huo Chonglou in the east color shed, Chen Baixia, Li Sixian, Liu Tidao in the west color shed, or all the merchants left in the open space, they are all at a loss: the eunuch of the Governor City, the foreman of the East Factory, the political envoy, and the patrol of the imperial history, the leaders of all the forces are here, and which way is the immortal?

Suddenly, Zhao Haima stood up in surprise, pointed to the distance and said to Chen Baisha: "Big brother, it's Cao Gang Tian Zongjia and his subordinates who are doing Cao Yun General Merchant!" ”

Chen Baisha was overjoyed.

Although the Sea Shark Club is the king and hegemon in Hangzhou Mansion and Zhejiang Province, after all, it is trapped in a corner, and the Cao Gang relies on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and the Yangtze River water transportation, crisscrossing Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, Shandong provinces and north and south Zhili, with 100,000 gangs under its command, and the momentum is more than three points stronger than that of the Sea Shark Club.

The year before last, Chen and Zhao went to Yangzhou to visit Tian Qiye to discuss the cooperation between the two sides, and Tian Qiye received extremely warmly, but did not come up with anything substantial, so the two returned to Hangzhou in defeat.

Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, Tian Qiye actually brought a number of general merchants under his command to come in person, which was really unexpected!

"God help me!" Chen Baisha increased his amount with his hand, confessed to the two adults, left Zhao Haima to greet him in the color shed, and greeted him with a smoke.

The thugs and men of the Sea Shark Club were all smiling, sticking out their tongues and making strange appearances towards the east color shed, and they were proud.

The expressions of the merchants in the open space changed suddenly, and the merchants who remained in the colorful shed on the east side instantly turned into ashes.

Zhejiang's commercial houses, carriages, horses, and teeth are controlled by the Sea Shark Society, but the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal from Hangzhou to Beijing is in charge of the Cao Gang, and the water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and many canals have been built, Hangzhou to Xiaoshan, Shaoxing, Shangyu, Huzhou to Jiaxing, Wuxi to Jiangyin...... There are branch canals that are connected to each other, needless to say, these are all the world of the Cao Gang.

Small goods may be able to go by land, but large goods must be transported by water, now the Cao Gang and the Sea Shark Association are united, and the merchants will not cooperate with the Sea Shark Club will be unable to move an inch on the canal, and they will be suffocated to death!

In the east color shed, there was silence for a while, and everyone's faces were as black as the bottom of the pot.

"I—Why am I so unlucky!" The white and chubby Wang Yuanwai pulled his hair in frustration, and his expression was more ugly than crying.

He had already gone out just now, weighed it again and again, and couldn't resist the temptation of Wufeng Maritime Merchants to wholesale at a low price and purchase at a high price, and finally walked in again, bargained with the shopkeepers, and ordered a lot of goods from overseas with the tickets, ready to be shipped back to the mainland for sale.

But now I found out that the sea shark will get the support of the Cao Gang, and the cheap goods bought from the Wufeng maritime merchants just now will be difficult to move in the south of the Yangtze River, and they will be trapped alive in Hangzhou, isn't this forcing people to jump off the building?

"Oh my God, Wang has fallen for you!" Wang Yuanwai complained to the old shopkeeper who was in charge of the transaction just now, and lowered his voice to ask if he could return the goods, and said that he was willing to give the old shopkeeper a kickback...... Suddenly, someone behind him laughed: "Mr. Wang has no confidence in Wufeng Maritime Merchant like this?" ”

Wang Yuanwai looked back and saw that it was the young man sitting next to Jin Yingji, knowing that the other party had an extraordinary background, he didn't dare to offend, but he regretted that he shouldn't have traded with Wufeng Maritime Merchants, and this business would definitely be lost.

"That's it," Qin Lin patted him on the shoulder with confidence: "I bet that not only will you not lose your money, but you will make a lot of money, because as long as it is the goods traded with my Wufeng Maritime Merchant, the Cao Gang will be responsible for free water transportation!" ”

Isn't this man crazy? Wang Yuanwai opened his two eyes, as if he wanted to see a flower on Qin Lin's face, and stretched out his hand again, as if he wanted to touch his forehead for fever.
