The third-class guards of the county king's mansion are from the fifth grade, the two have not yet gone to Nanyang to get the big lottery, and immediately excited cheeks flushed, and then heard that Yinzhen was actually going to annex Nanyang, the two of them were enthusiastic, this is going to be successful, the two of them can be on the rise, this is a real military merit, open up the territory, no matter in which dynasty, it is the first class achievement, not to mention that the Qing Dynasty attaches great importance to military merit, maybe it can be mixed with a title, the two of them knelt down and said: "The slave Xie Wang Ye is promoted, and he will not disgrace his mission." ”

After getting up, Zhang Decai asked again; "Lord Wang, can we recruit some more people in Fujian and Liangguang?"

"Absolutely." Seeing that Zhang Decai entered the role so quickly, Yinzhen couldn't help but be very happy, it seemed that he hadn't picked the wrong person, he smiled and said: "However, Chapter 125 and the Thirteen Lines can only recruit people secretly, and cannot attract the attention of the local government, and no matter how many people there are, the number of people cannot be too large, otherwise, as soon as you settle down in Nanyang, you will attract the attention of the local natives." ”

"Minions understand." The two replied with crossed hands.

"This king will give you 100,000 taels of silver as a fund first." Yinzhen groaned: "You set up a contact point in Macao, and the fleet from Shanghai to the South Seas will send someone to contact you when it arrives in Macao." ”

Hong Wanshan, a merchant of the Tea Merchant Wanlong Foreign Company of Guangdong Customs, was wearing a new uniform and a red tasseled official hat on his head at this time, and was waiting excitedly and anxiously outside the gate of Guangde Garden.

Yinzhen gave the franchise of cotton cloth and raw silk to the Jiangxi Customs in Shanghai, so that Guangzhou's export trade plummeted, resulting in Guangzhou officialdom, shopping malls, and the people scolding Yinzhen again, and the customs merchants were even more so, and the monopoly of cotton cloth and raw silk immediately made the merchants who operated these two commodities overturned, and the entire thirteen lines had a hostile attitude towards Yinzhen.

But Hong Wanshan, who has just passed the year of confusion, does not think so, Yinzhen is now the general supervision of the General Administration of Customs, no longer the supervision of Jiang Customs, Guangdong Customs whether it is Chapter 125 Thirteen Lines from the geographical location, or the history of maritime trade is much stronger than Shanghai, he has no reason to give up Guangdong Customs, he came to Guangzhou this time, for Guangdong Customs, should be a rare opportunity.

Yinzhen came to Guangzhou this time, and several customs commissioners of Guangdong Customs privately contacted and agitated, intending to embarrass Yinzhen, but Hong Wanshan keenly felt that this was a rare opportunity, whether it was in Beijing or in Shanghai, the first to rely on the big tree of the fourteenth prince Yinzhen, which is not a figure in the business world now? So as soon as he got the news, he rushed over to meet him.

Sending Zheng Qingyuan and Zhang Decai away, Yinzhen was about to rest, and heard Da Chun report outside, "Lord Wang, there is a businessman who claims to be a customs foreign company outside. ”

A merchant of the customs house? Yinzhen Yileng, is it the so-called thirteen lines? There are too many legends in the Thirteen Lines of Guangzhou. Then I thought about it, so many customs officials and merchants didn't come to see it, why did this person come alone? This group of eyeless things should be given some color. After a moment of silence, he said, "Let him in." ”

Taipingmen is located in the southwest of Guangzhou, bordering the Pearl River, along the river neatly stands a lot of upper and lower two floors, tall and spacious, the shape of the unique western-style building, behind the western-style building is the shops, all kinds of foreign shops, tea shops, restaurants, porcelain shops, silver shops, clothing shops, grocery stores, etc., naturally form a street, Western merchants call it 'China Street'.

'Chinatown' is very lively, the flow of people is endless, businessmen from all provinces, Nanyang, and the West are gathered here, such a prosperous place, since it is indispensable to the people of the three religions and nine streams, after a long time, this place has become a famous place where dragons and snakes are mixed in Guangzhou.

In a small courtyard not far from the 'Chinatown', six or seven people dressed as businessmen were bored and talking about some interesting stories about the rivers and lakes, when they suddenly heard the sound of the courtyard door opening and closing.

Several people are old rivers and lakes, as soon as they look at the footsteps, they know that there is news, the person who is the leader is called Deng Boss, but he is in his early thirties, his face is beautiful, but he is a little gloomy, Deng Lao Ambassador has a look, and a group of people quickly follow up the house, as soon as they enter the house, the man who came later said, "Boss, there is news, the idea has arrived in Guangzhou, and it arrived this morning by Fujian Navy warship, and collapsed in Guangde Garden." ”

As soon as they heard this, everyone was happy, but Boss Deng asked in a deep voice, "How many soldiers are there to escort?" ”

"I can't find out this for the time being." The man shook his head slightly, "I didn't see it with my own eyes, I just heard it." ”

"Don't rush, probe again." Boss Deng advised, "Send someone to the port again to see, is the Fujian Navy warship waiting in the port?" Another reminder to you, don't use local eyeliner, they can't be relied on, and would rather slow down than have any mistakes. ”

"Yes, don't worry, boss, the brothers know it." The man turned and walked away.

After glancing at a few eager brothers, Boss Deng chuckled and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, look at you, all of you are in a hurry, and the second cannon will withdraw all the eyeliner that has been spilled, so as not to be noticed." Then he said, "From now on, this courtyard is not allowed to enter or leave." With that, he turned around and went into the inner room.

Deng Lao is the head of the 'sticky pole' sent out to carry out the assassination of Yinzhen, and when he entered the inner room, he pondered, it has been two months since he received the order, he originally planned to do it in Shanghai, but he has never had a chance, and then he got the news that Yinzhen was going to Guangzhou, so he changed his plan and prepared to ambush on the road.

It's just that he didn't expect Yinzhen to rush to Guangzhou on the warship of the Fujian Navy Division, so that his whole plan fell through, and now since he is waiting for Yinzhen in Guangzhou, he is faced with two choices, whether to do it in Guangzhou, or ambush him on the way back.

Guangde Garden, Yinzhen looked at Hong Wanshan, who was a little restrained, with a gentle face, and said lightly: "The customs foreign line is the so-called thirteen lines, right?" ”

Hong Wanshan replied respectfully, "Hui Wangye, yes, the thirteen lines are the general name for all foreign companies. ”

Yinzhen nodded slightly, still in a faint tone, "This king is the chief supervisor of the General Administration of Customs, and the Thirteen Lines are foreign companies under the name of Guangdong Customs, why are you the only merchant to worship?" Do you think that this king can't manage the thirteen lines? ”

As soon as Hong Wanshan heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately knelt down, kowtowed a few times, and fell to the ground and didn't dare to make a sound, he didn't dare to reply.

Yinzhen glanced at the new supplement on Hong Wanshan's body, "You merchants should all donate official bodies, right?" ”

"Back to the prince, yes." Hong Wanshan replied tremblingly.

"Good." Yinzhen said coldly, and then raised his voice and ordered: "Dachun, take this king's post to invite all the merchants of Guangdong Customs, all the officials are wearing official uniforms, and this king will summon them." ”

As soon as Hong Wanshan heard this, he felt a chill behind his back, and the prince was going to take the thirteen lines to open the knife, but fortunately, he came here today.

After taking a sip of tea, Yinzhen said gently: "Get up, sit down and talk back." ”

Hong Wanshan listened to the gentle words, and hurriedly kowtowed to thank him, and then carefully sat down diagonally.

Yinzhen asked unhurriedly: "The Thirteen Lines are inextricably linked with local officials and local forces in Guangdong, who is the backer behind you?" ”

Hong Wanshan's butt just hit the chair, and when he heard this, he involuntarily slipped to the ground again, and replied cautiously: "Back to the prince, running a tea shop with a humble position, the profit is small, and the sales volume is small, it is really difficult, but no one can look at it." ”！！！
