Sitting in the lobby and sipping fragrant tea, he opened a few documents on the dispute between the flag people presented by the right division, and after more than an hour, he heard the sound of footsteps outside, and Chahasu rushed into the lobby angrily.

When he arrived in the hall, he didn't fight a thousand, but just hugged his fist and asked: "Lord Dutong!" What is the crime of Juxian Pavilion? Adults want to order a seizure? ”

Ye Zhao was stunned, you must know that after the Sino-British War, although the Qing Dynasty began to turn a blind eye to the tobacco house, if the flag officer was suspected of opening a tobacco house, he still had to be questioned as usual.

Chahasu is handsome, with a fair face and slender hands, and he will be a standard beautiful man in later life, but he has no trace of military spirit, but now he is angry, and his little white face is a little distorted and deformed.

I don't think I'm really angry. Ye Zhao put down the paperwork with a smile and said, "What does the Gathering Immortal Pavilion have to do with the co-leader?" ”

Chahasu craned his neck and said, "That's my relative's business, my brother-in-law's business!" "I didn't say it was my own business, I pulled out my brother-in-law, and reminded Ye Zhao that I still have a brother-in-law.

Ye Zhao smiled: "It seems that you know?" His face gradually became serious, "Then it won't be unjust to treat you for the crime of covering up and plotting stolen goods!" "A wave of your hand." Come on, take the Chahasu down for me! ”

The left and right soldiers stared at each other, and Ye Zhao's face sank: "Do you want to do it yourself?" ”

"Jingxiang! Don't you dare! Seeing that several soldiers rushed up to get him, Cha Ha Suke became hysterical, pointed at Jing Xiang and shouted: "You are just a brother who has been bad in three exams!" In Yanjing City, you are majestic, you can come to Guangzhou! I'm not afraid of you! Don't you think I've given too little money? Fake public and private, I want to go to the general's yamen to sue you! Don't think that others don't know about your business! God protected the flag and intermarried without permission, do you think you can keep it? That's if the master doesn't care about you, if you care about you, you wait for the Zongren Mansion to punish the crime! ”

"Take it!" As soon as Ye Zhao patted the case, the soldiers didn't dare to hesitate, and rushed up and pressed Chahasu on the ground with his shoulders, Chahasu was still struggling there, shouting uncleanly. Ye Zhao said sharply: "Pull it out!" Imprisoned and pending! ”

The soldiers dragged Chahasu out, and Chahasu was still screaming there, and even the exploits of the ancestors were turned over, shouting "The rivers and mountains of the Great Qing Kingdom were brought down by the ancestors, not left to you for the scourge" Yunyun.

Ye Zhao just sneered when he heard this.

……

Chahasu was imprisoned, regardless of human feelings and legal principles, Ye Zhao naturally wanted to tell the Guangzhou general Mu Teen, not to mention that from the third rank military attaché, Ye Zhao could not easily punish the crime, even if Mu Teen wanted to be his brother-in-law, but he had to write an excerpt to the capital.

But Chahasu was locked up in prison for ten days, and Ye Zhaocai went to the general's yamen unhurriedly to visit Mutern, and during these ten days, the official who should intercede refused to meet him, and the general's yamen came to see the deputy capital lord in the form of a post, and he was also stopped. This made the officials under Ye Zhao's rule dumbfounded, and they all said in their hearts that it was not a loss to the prince's elder brother, who was used to rampant in Sijiu City, which did not take Mu Shuai in his eyes at all!

It is no wonder that when Ye Zhao saw Mu Teen again, the Guangzhou general blackened his face for the first time.

Outside the hall, the green bamboo is green, and the flower garden is purple and red, which is a spring scenery.

Ye Zhao was the same as before, as if there was no barrier at all, and sighed: "The general knows about Chahasu's matter, he is confused!" Let's not talk about him first, but in the lobby of the Dutong Yamen, he is proud of the merits of his ancestors, and scolds us royal children and Jueluo children for being greedy for heaven, and is a group of scourges! Don't you ...... the emperor with these words," he shook his head and sighed.

Mu Teen frowned inadvertently, thinking that from the moment he saw Ye Zhao's post, he was thinking about how to excuse Chahasu, how to pinch Ye Zhao in words, the terrible thing was that he never expected that Ye Zhao didn't mention a word about the incident of the tobacco house, and directly put Chahasu's bastard words on the line.

Ye Zhao sighed again and said: "The general wants to know that it is difficult to bring the flag soldiers, and I have the emperor's order, I want to train an elite soldier in this Guangzhou, and I have no choice but to offend the second brother Cha, I just want to punish the big commandment and make a show, but now, I am not good at being the master!" ”

Mu Teen's face gradually softened, and he smiled: "Lord Dutong is too worried, although Chahasu is an official in-law, but the law cannot be bullied, his guilt is dealt with by Dutong, and this official will not bend the law for personal gain!" ”

Ye Zhao scolded the old fox in his heart, and when he saw that he was full of tailwind flags, he kicked the ball over with a sentence of "but deal with it all", but he knew that he would have a following.

Ye Zhao smiled and said: "If you want to say a few angry words, you can't do it seriously, but when you shout in the lobby, the officials and the chief can't help but mutter, after a long time, I'm afraid that someone is talking nonsense behind my back, and if it is passed out, the second brother will inevitably be involved." ”

Picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Ye Zhao said again: "According to the opinion of the lower officials, although Guangzhou is good, it is better to take the root of the imperial city. ”

Mu Ten drank the tea, and after a while, he smiled slightly: "What Lord Dutong said is extremely true. ”

Ye Zhao knew that Mu Teen had no choice but to let himself drive away Chahasu, and although returning to Yanjing City was actually the thought of many garrison flag soldiers, this sweet date was far from the humiliation given to him.

But there is no way, if you want to really control the military and people of Qicheng, you have to pull out the style of the second ancestor, and look like I am not afraid of the Guangzhou general, otherwise I will be bound to do things in the future.

In particular, the Guangzhou flag soldiers have been stationed for many years, and the relationship is intertwined, and the flag cities in various places are almost the same, and your generals are all changed like a marquee, but the officers and soldiers below have lived here for generations, and they have long formed their own set of order.

Driving out Chahasu will undoubtedly break the balance of order, and he can quickly establish his authority in the flag city.

Weighing the pros and cons, offending General Guangzhou is also a helpless move, after all, it is impossible for him to spend three or two years to smooth out various relationships, but now every second counts, and time is running out.

Ye Zhao also knew that although Mu Teen was squeezed by his words first and failed to hold himself, how could he be as peaceful as he showed on his face, and he couldn't help himself now, but he couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't stab himself in the future.

Let's just talk about Shenbao, listening to Hasselblad's words, I'm afraid he and his brother-in-law have also talked about it, and he can be clear about Shenbao's affairs. Of course, he has the talisman of the prince and brother, and he is not completely sure, he will not openly offend himself or offend the prince, or if the situation changes, he will ask himself to show favor to himself in the future. After all, from the heart of Mutern, he didn't want to set up such an enemy as himself.

These are all unknowns, and now I just need to remember that I have offended people, and I will be more cautious in the future.

……

After Chahasu was released from prison, he became much more honest, thinking that Mu Shuai reprimanded him harshly, and after the Juxian Pavilion was raided, the shop was soon pawned and the locksmith's cloth banner was hung up.

Ye Zhao is still the same, it took three or five days to go to the yamen to take a turn, and the affairs should be in good order for the officials of all sizes, and the documents that need to be stamped by his deputy capital, Abu will save them up, and wait for the master to play them together, but he will not disturb the master's leisure.

This is said to be in the right side hall of the Yamen Hall of the Metropolitan Commander, Zuo Ling Gang'an came to visit, Gang'an is in his early forties, with a fierce face, and it seems that he has no big addiction to smoking.

Ye Zhao also heard that the Juxian Pavilion was copied, but it was cheaper than the opium hall in Xiguan, but no, the flag city was already inside the West City Gate, and the West Pass was outside the West City Gate, and there was no smoke house in the flag city, and those flag people who were addicted to smoking naturally went to Xiguan.

"My lord, this Niu Lu flag man Shen Bao has newly married a folk girl, and he has made a book and entered the flag." Gang'an didn't have any expression on his face when he said this, as if he was telling a normal business.

Ye Zhao was stunned, Shenbao belonged to Niu Lu under the jurisdiction of Gang'an, but he suddenly "declared" his newlywed, that was to remedy himself, looking at this Gang'an Tiger Bear's waist like a rough man, he didn't want to be quite scheming, and took the initiative to take the initiative to help him solve the problem.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, but didn't say much.

Gang'an gave a few more official things, and then he said goodbye in a proper manner, from beginning to end, he was so natural, and he didn't have the slightest look of solving a problem for Lord Dutong.

Ye Zhao couldn't help but taste the tea and chuckle, this is why people can't be good-looking, they look honest and honest, but they have more eyes than anyone else.

……

After leaving the yamen, Ye Zhao went back to the mansion to change into civilian clothes, and accompanied by Bakshi, he went to Xiguan with his silver number "Taihe".

The shop has been renovated, but it has also been renewed, and a wooden fence has been built on the counter, which completely isolates the counter from the outside, and has the appearance of a bit of silver, and there are a few guys standing in the wooden bar, looking busy, in fact, this silver number will not store silver at all, and the hired guys are just for show.

Seeing Ye Zhao coming in slowly, the shopkeeper Qiu opened the wooden door of the counter with a key to welcome him out, although it was an empty shelf, but at a glance, it was all in accordance with the rules of the money village, and Ye Zhao nodded secretly.

On the north wall, there is a landscape painting of green mountains, green water, and rain, and under the ink painting, there is a sandalwood tea table, a pair of pineapple wood seats on the left and right, all of which are lacquered and shiny, and the purple clay pot and teacup on the table are elegant and good.

Ye Zhao sat down, and asked the shopkeeper Qiu with a smile: "Shopkeeper, when will he come?" ”

Today, I made an appointment to meet the first "customer", and Ye Zhao became an "investment decision-maker", so I couldn't help but feel fresh, it was too early.

Shopkeeper Qiu looked outside, then looked at the chiming clock in the corner, and said with a smile: "It will take half an hour, it seems that the owner is more anxious than him." ”

"Customer" is the autumn shopkeeper pulled, surnamed Zhao, Mingli, the word Hanzhong, is a person from Foshan, the ancestral family of fried iron, but in recent years, the business is difficult, Zhao Li is ready to pawn the ancestral workshop and then borrow some capital to go to Hong Kong to trade foreign iron, foreign needles to sell.

To say that the foreign iron has not really encroached on the domestic market now, but Zhao Li has seen this, he is indeed a businessman with a unique vision, and the praise of the shopkeeper Qiu for him is not fake.

Drinking tea slowly, half a cup of tea hasn't gone down, but I saw a middle-aged man hurriedly walking in outside the store, with a white face and beardless demeanor, and as soon as he entered the house, he hugged his fist at the shopkeeper Qiu: "Shopkeeper, I'm not late!" ”

Ye Zhao knew that this must be Zhao Li Zhao Hanzhong, and got up with a smile, and the shopkeeper Qiu was busy introducing: "Hanzhong, come, this is our host, Ye Gongzi." ”

Ye Zhao and Zhao Li exchanged a few words, looked at each other, and sat on both sides of the tea table again, Ye Zhao went straight to the point: "Why did Mr. Hanzhong think of trading foreign iron and foreign nails?" ”

If you want to say Zhao Li, in order to prepare the capital, he has tried his best, but whether it is a friend or a friend in business, when he heard that he wanted to trade with foreigners, his head shook like a rattle, and he all spoke earnestly and persuaded, and he wanted to borrow money? That's not a door.

When he overheard the old acquaintance Qiu shopkeeper talk about the rules of the newly opened Taihe loan, Zhao Like was moved, and in the letter he submitted, he hesitated whether he wrote that he borrowed money to trade foreign iron with foreigners, and finally decided to write it truthfully.

And seeing this young owner today, Zhao Li was a little apprehensive, seeing that the other party was still young, but I don't know if Brother Gongzi was greedy and fun to engage in such a business, does he really understand business?

Listening to Ye Zhao's question, he could only say the thoughts that he had been thinking about for a long time in his stomach, as for whether the Shaodong family believed it or not, there was no way, "Shaodong, I have been to Hong Kong and seen the foreign nails and needles produced by foreigners, which are extremely pure, the color and luster are clean, and they are several times stronger than the iron tools produced by me in Foshan. As he spoke, Zhao Li glanced at Ye Zhao, and he didn't know if he understood what he said.

Ye Zhao smiled: "You mean that foreign iron is more competitive than our earth iron." ”

Zhao Li was stunned, and then nodded, "Yes, competition, competitiveness." "I think it's a good word.

Ye Zhao picked up the teacup and took a sip, Zhao Li was like sitting on pins and needles, the life and death of his old shop was in the thought of others.

"Then the foreign iron has come in, what good are we doing? According to you, the foreign iron is so good, doesn't it crush our iron industry? You are the descendant of Foshan Iron Speculation, don't you feel sorry for your ancestors? Ye Zhao looked at him with a smile.

"This ......", Zhao Li stagnated, and then said: "Shao Dongjia, that's not the case, even if I Zhao Li doesn't do it, sooner or later the foreign nail foreign iron will spread in, our technology is backward, we have to learn other people's craftsmanship, I have already thought about it, and when I understand the market of foreign iron, and have the capital, I will also open a foreign iron shop, which is more competitive than their transportation of thousands of mountains and rivers." "It's about learning and selling.

Ye Zhao smiled and nodded, at least the idea was quite in line with his own mind, as for whether he could really learn other people's crafts, whether he could really open a foreign iron business, it was estimated that he would not be able to do it himself, after all, his eyes were black, but it was not enough to have enthusiasm and ideas. However, if you have yourself as an investor who occasionally urges and guides, it is different.
