Chapter 110: Iron Mountain Launched
"Lord Tang, I remember that Lord Zhao once said that there is something to know about him in Yangzhou, and he must be doing his best to help, I don't know, can I meet Lord Zhao." Meng Guangshan looked slightly sad.
"Lord Meng, it's really unfortunate, my family didn't return from the sea, when I left, my lord had an explanation, if it was a business and officialdom difficulties, what Lord Meng asked, I will try our best to help." Tang Xianwen immediately understood that Meng Guangshan was afraid that he was in trouble, and he had heard Zhang Ting mention it in the past, and what Zhang Ting said at that time could be supported, this time, Meng Guangshan said this, Meng Ji was afraid that he had encountered a problem.
"Well, it's a long story." Meng Guangshan sighed, it turned out that the Meng family and the Yangzhou Huang family had a grudge for more than 20 years because of salt, and since last year, they somehow took the road of the two Huai patrol salt imperial history and Sun three provinces, the salt transportation department is a local official position, and the salt inspection imperial history is the imperial history of the imperial court inspection institute ordered to be stationed in Yangzhou, on behalf of the central supervision of local salt affairs, and the salt transportation envoys are directly under the upper officials, so through the speech of the three provinces of the salt inspection imperial history, the chief official of the salt transportation department made an article on the salt introduction, reducing the number of official salt extraction, although the salt merchants sell salt are four parts of official salt and six points of private salt, However, after all, there must be official salt cover, if there is too little official salt, the salt merchant will still produce salt, which is the way to self-destruction. The Huang family just wants to squeeze the Meng family out of the salt merchants, first, once the Meng family breaks away from the salt merchants, it means that they lose their position, and it is very likely that the wall will fall down and everyone will push it, and the Huang family will take revenge. The second is that the Meng family's share of the salt market is also covetous, and of course they want to replace it.
As a result, in the past six months, the amount of salt introduced by the Meng family has dropped sharply, and it is gradually insufficient, and the small and medium-sized businesses attached to it below have become increasingly centrifugal, and the situation is not good. Some of the judges of the Salt Transportation Division who are usually fed also stretched out their hands, and even some people in the Yangzhou Mansion are ready to move, and the Meng family also spent more than 100,000 taels of silver to maintain the current situation, but in the future, it is also extremely unoptimistic, Meng Guangshan did not plan to find Zhao Lie's head, after all, the Meng family has relied on Shidao too much, but after several dredging and patrolling the salt imperial history, they have no choice but to ask for help.
Tang Xianwen immediately sent someone to Tong Bing Du Li to come to the meeting, after all, this was no longer his scope of responsibility, and he knew that this could only be handled by Du Li at the moment.
After Du Li arrived, Meng Guangshan was a little disappointed at first sight, this is an extremely young and thin general, he does not have Zhao Lie's aggressive momentum, he is very ordinary, similar to the young guys in his family.
After the greetings were finished, Tang Xianwen just raised his head, and Du Li told the grievances of the Meng family and the Huang family in Yangzhou, which made Meng Guangshan break out in a cold sweat. How can this Lord Du know so much about Yangzhou, especially the secrets of the two families.
"Master Meng, my Shidao has already stationed people in Yangzhou, and I have been involved in Yangzhou officialdom and merchants, and we have long known about the affairs of your two families, but the Meng family has never asked my family for help, so ......" Du Li said with a smile. It means that you are in a critical situation, and if you don't make a request, how can I do it?
"I'm ashamed, I didn't want to bother Lord Zhao, after all, I owe a lot to Lord Zhao, but this time the Huang family is too greedy, and I want to fight with my Meng family, so I have to beg for shame, I hope your lord will not blame." Meng Guangshan said ashamedly.
"Master Meng is too worried, you and I are one, why not divide you and me." Du Li continued to say with a smile.
Meng Guangshan's heart froze, this Lord Du is beating him Now he and Shidao are grasshoppers on the same line, don't be half-hearted, Meng Guangshan thought about it for a while, now he has to obey Lord Shidao Zhao, otherwise this level will not be easy at the moment.
"In the future, only Lord Zhao will follow." Meng Guangshan gritted his teeth and said.
"Meng Dong's words are serious, in the words of our adults, you and I are a win-win cooperation." Du Li nodded with satisfaction, well, the surname Meng is very good. "The proprietor Meng went back to concentrate on business, and as for some troubles, Shidao will be eliminated by the proprietor within three months."
Meng Guangshan hurriedly bowed down and thanked him.
Du Li left everyone behind and retired first, everyone is also used to it, Du Li has deliberately kept a distance from his former companions since he took command of the military intelligence department.
On the seventh day of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, on the eve of the New Year this year, the weather is already much warmer, the sun is scattered on the earth, the dirty snow begins to melt in the morning, and the weather is still warm and cool.
After Gu Wuyue had breakfast, he read the book for half an hour, punched him indoors, calmed his restless mind, and waited.
Outside there was a rush of footsteps, a knock at the door,
"My lord, Wang Zheng is here to report." Luo Dong's voice rang out.
"Enter." Gu Wuyue's flat voice sounded.
"My lord," Wang Zheng entered the room to salute. "My lord, at the beginning of this morning, my team and I met the people who came to Shidao at the dock. My lord, the sea is open. ”
Whew, Gu Wuyue breathed a sigh of relief, a good day has finally come, he is walking around the Iron Mountain with a heavy responsibility, he is afraid that he will accidentally expose his feet, his safety is small, and he can't afford to delay the big things of adults. finally held on to the arrival of the army, and finally lived up to the trust of the adults.
"Wang Zheng, how many people have come here?" Gu Wuyue asked.
"My lord, there is only one hundred corps, we will bring it into the city in batches, and at this time it will be distributed outside the store, and I have arranged a few brothers on the dock to receive the brigade." Wang Zheng replied.
"Bring Mr. Bai in to see me." Gu Wuyue said.
"Yes." Wang Zheng turned around and went out, and after a while, Wang Zheng entered with a thin soldier in a tattered mandarin duck fat jacket.
"My lord, my subordinate Chen Baoguo has seen my lord." Chen Baoguo stroked his chest and saluted.
"Mr. Chen Bai, you wait to follow me to the Lu Guerrilla Mansion, fifty people are around the periphery, and no one can escape. The rest and I invaded the Lu Mansion, and we must have captured Lu Mingde and his family. Gu Wuyue commanded.
"Subordinates obey orders." Chen Baoguo replied.
"Well, Wang Zheng, you immediately lead your men to capture Jinghai Dun, one mile behind the dock, and then inform the brigade to go ashore and take Tieshan directly." Gu Wuyue looked directly at Wang Zheng and said.
"Don't worry, my lord, Wang Zheng will definitely take Jinghaidun and take the army ashore." Wang Zheng bowed in response, turned and left.
Jinghai Dun is only more than a mile away from the bay, it is the nearest Iron Mountain Fire Pier to guard West Korea Bay, the pier is long Fang Shun, in his early forties, his face is sallow, he is wearing a tattered mandarin duck fat jacket, wearing a hat, he looks at the gray and black sea water in the distance.
"Damn, it's really freezing people and not freezing water this day." Fang Shun muttered and shouted loudly, "Old than the head, make a fire and keep warm." ”
"Right away, square head, right away." Old Yutou's voice came from below.
Fang Shun was about to come down from the pier, only to hear the sound of horses' hooves from the west, Fang Shun looked at the distance and vaguely a few people and horses appeared in the distance, maybe they came to this port again, people began to go ashore in the morning today, they were all subordinates of the merchants who repaired the port, and they had just said hello in the morning.
Six or seven horses came to the outside of Jinghai Dun, and one of them shouted,
"Fangtou, put a suspension bridge, let me wait in and warm up."
Fang Shun took a closer look at Wang Zheng, who had greeted him in the morning, and couldn't help but feel happy in his heart. Wang Zheng this kid is very good, since last year I met, every month is filial piety to some money, the name of the name is to take care of the goods for their proprietor, two or three months to seal the sea, did not see him, this morning, passing by here, said that he will come back to gather a gathering, Fang Shun understands that filial piety is coming again, alas, the pier army of Tieshan is bitter, and the miscellaneous grain of less than ten stones every year can not be all in the hand, without this filial piety to his family I don't know how to live, Fang Shun Meizi ordered the old Yutou and another pier army to put down the suspension bridge, Wang Zheng took three people into the pier with oil paper packages in their hands, and went up to the second floor to see Fang Shun.
"Fangtou, give you a good old age." Wang Zheng arched his hand and said with a smile.
"You kid, you don't have an honest look, what, what good things you take." Fang Shun touched Wang Zheng with his hand and said with a smile.
"Fangtou, this is the braised pork and soju I specially bought in the town, let's take a good drink." Wang Zheng opened the paper bag as he spoke, Fang Shun's attention was focused on the oily meat, not paying attention to one of Wang Zheng's subordinates blocking the entrance to the lookout.
Fang Shun was opening the small jar of soju, only to hear a click, a cold light entered his eyes, and then a sharp blade across his neck,
"Fang Tou, go down to the bottom with me and tell your soldiers to lay down their weapons." Wang Zheng said coldly.
Fang Shun looked at Wang Zheng in horror, as if he didn't believe everything in front of him.
"Fang head ......" Wang Zheng used force, Fang Shun just reached the sharpness of the knife, and his body trembled.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it." Fang Shun replied in a trembling voice, he didn't want to lose his life inexplicably.
