Chapter 82 South Hong North Li

Empress Dowager Zhang made this decision, which was also deliberate, and she inquired about many people.} Hun Sen and Li Wenchang have also been friends for many years, and the two often have business dealings, and when Yue Su got married, Hun Sen was uninvited and gave a valuable gift.

Zhang Guoji was very surprised by Hun Sen's arrival, but now that he has a noble status and his daughter stands at the pinnacle of power, Zhang Guoji will not feel strange what kind of character has come to the door.

When Hun Sen sat down, Zhang Guoji said: "I don't know what Mr. Hong is here for?" ”

"Hong is a businessman, no matter where he goes, he can't help but smell copper. This time, I came not for anything else, but for a deal, and I want to cooperate with the grandfather of the country to make money together. Hun Sen said.

"Oh?" When Zhang Guoji heard this, he was secretly happy in his heart, everyone in the world knows that cooperating with Boss Hong is equivalent to holding a cornucopia. But Zhang Guoji's expression was tepid, and he put on a high posture and said: "Mr. Hong's business is all over the world, and he can make a fortune wherever he goes, I don't know why he wants to cooperate with Benjue this time?" I don't know what kind of business Mr. Hong wants to cooperate with Benjue? ”

"Now that the imperial court has banned the sea, all the forbidden businesses have always been the most profitable. Don't tell the lord that it is difficult to do business on the shore now, so I intend to learn from others to engage in some maritime trade, sell some goods to the South Seas, and then transport some goods back from there to sell. Hun Sen said calmly.

"Mr. Hong also said that the imperial court forbids the sea, how can such a forbidden business be done. Moreover, my Zhang family is still a national relative, and I can't know the law and break the law. Zhang Guoji said deliberately coldly. In fact, he wanted to see what price Hun Sen offered.

What kind of person Hun Sen is, he can see Zhang Guoji's thoughts at a glance, and said: "I also know that it is difficult for some strong people to partner with the grandfather of the country in this kind of business, but I really don't want to see others make money, and I am lagging behind." Alas......" Speaking of this, Hun Sen deliberately sighed, stood up, and said: "Since the country's grandfather doesn't like it, then Hong will leave." In this business, Hong will see if he can find others to cooperate. ”

With that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Zhang Guoji really didn't expect that Hun Sen would be such a big name, just leave, and thought that the other party would at least say his interests and seduce himself. Naturally, he couldn't let Hun Sen go so easily, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Hong stays." ”

"Oh......" Hun Sen stopped, turned around, and said, "I don't know what the grandfather is shouting about?" ”

"Ah......" Zhang Guoji deliberately snorted and said, "Benjue is just curious, I don't know how Mr. Hong plans to cooperate?" ”

"Most of Hong's business is in Zhejiang, which is rich and famous all over the world. Originally, I went to sea from here, went to Nanyang for a trip, and went back and forth, even if it was a ship, the minimum input was 180,000. It's a pity that recently I heard that the imperial court approved Lord Yue's decision to open a sailor division in Zhejiang, and we have also heard about Lord Yue's behavior in Fujian. Therefore, Hong thought to himself that if he wanted to do such a business in Zhejiang, he must find a powerful partner in the court, and he didn't need to publish a penny, so he had to be famous enough to make Yue Su dare not offend, and it would be fine. When the time came, the silver was earned, and the two families were divided in four or six. Hun Sen said lightly.

Shipping is profitable, and Zhang Guoji also knows it, but as soon as he heard Yue Su's name, he had a little headache. Although he is not afraid of Yue Su now, he is only limited to normal things, if it is really something illegal and Yue Su is caught by his braids, it is really a headache.

Zhang Guoji weighed it and felt that this silver was not very profitable. But after thinking about it, he said: "It turned out to be such cooperation, but it is also fair and reasonable." But everyone in the world knows that Yue Su is the lord of the six relatives who do not recognize him, and if he really wants to catch the handle, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu are not easy to do, let alone this lord. ”

"The lord is right, as long as he catches the handle, no one can do it. I heard that even his father-in-law, Taishan, was exiled to Yunnan by him. However, Hong has always advocated outwitting and driving Yue Su away from Zhejiang, so that our business can make a lot of money. The lord can also sit at home and count the silver. Hun Sen said with a smile.

"Kick Yue Su away from Zhejiang, how can this be done?" Zhang Guoji asked puzzled.

"He Yue Su was originally a minister of Tuogu, but he returned to his hometown with worries, and since then he has been in a slump, and he has ...... in his heart" Speaking of this, Hun Sen laughed again, "He is back now, but he has only become the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and it is inevitable that he will be dissatisfied." At present, Yuesu is constantly cultivating strength in Fujian and Zhejiang, and the new Zhejiang Naval Division is a good proof. Otherwise, it's good, what does the water builder do? Also, the former Fujian sailors, since they plundered merchant ships, have become more and more golden, and how much silver can be handed over to the treasury? He is now doing this in Zhejiang, Zhejiang is already rich, and there are more merchant ships coming and going, once he does a lot of tricks there, he will not only make money every day. At that time, whether he will hand over the treasury, or keep it for himself, in order to use it later, it is difficult to say, although the imperial court sent the overseer army, but he has three swords, who dares to really supervise him. Therefore, it is very easy to find clues from here, find out if one is not, and immediately impeach, the crime is said to be small, it is corruption and lawlessness, and to say that it is a bad plot. ”

When Zhang Guoji heard this, he also felt quite reasonable, maybe he could really find out Yue Su's handle here, and bring down Yue Su at once, and be ashamed. However, he always felt that he was being used by Hun Sen, and by doing this himself, wouldn't he be helping others make wedding dresses.

So, he didn't make a statement immediately, but said lightly: "Mr. Hong's words are true, but Benjue still has to think about it, I don't know where Mr. Hong lives now, three days later, whether it is cooperation or not, Benjue will send someone to inform Mr." ”

"Hong now lives in Zhejiang Guild Hall, Tianzi No. 1 room, and is waiting for the national grandfather there. And so he took his leave. ”

"No." After Hun Sen left, Zhang Guoji originally wanted to discuss this matter with his son, but after thinking about it, his son has always had a soft spot for bringing down Yue Su, how can he discuss with him, let's find someone else. He was looking for a staff member in the house, this staff member surnamed Yin Haobin, is also a talent, Zhang Guoji sent him to Nanjing to buy Zhai Fengchong, and thoroughly investigate the salt affairs of Lianghuai.

Yin Haobin's advice to Zhang Guoji was that it was best not to move, lest Hun Sen use the name of the Zhang family to smuggle and break the ban, and then fall into the hands of Yue Su, which would be difficult for the Queen Mother to do. Zhang Guoji felt reasonable, for the sake of safety, he didn't plan to earn this silver, anyway, he has a lot of silver sources now, and it is not bad for this one.

Who had a day, early the next morning, there was an accident.

What's going on? On the two Huai salt affairs.

Last year, Zhang Guoji Baoju promoted Wan Liao and Sun Fang as the two Huai salt transport envoys and the two Huai salt patrol envoys, and over the past year, these two old men were salvage and special fishing, and the silver sent to Zhang Guoji alone was 600,000 taels, not to mention falling into the pockets of these two.

But the officials in the court are not blind, and in a year, the salt tax handed over to the court is less than last year, and where is the silver?

So today, under the leadership of Yang Yishan, Yue Dangyan officials have come to the book one after another to impeach Wan Liao and Sun Fang for embezzlement of salt taxes. You drove our people away at the beginning, and now that you're doing this, you have to have an explanation. The three parties of Qi, Chu and Zhejiang, they didn't say anything, they watched from the wall, and watched the excitement.

The Queen Mother is not a fool, the account book can still be understood, and there is a difference of millions of taels of silver in a year, where has all this money gone. Now Shaanxi is tight, urging salaries every day, plus the military expenses of the nine sides, it is the time for the imperial court to use silver. Although it is said that when Lord Yue was in power, he saved a lot of foundation for the household department, but he couldn't sit back and eat nothing, and he would be defeated in two years.

Zhang Yan is a little good, knowing that mistakes can be changed, Feng Yan was furious, and ordered Jinyiwei to go to Lianghuai, and mentioned Wan Liao and Sun Fang to Jingshi for questioning.

Not only that, but she also invited Zhang Guoji, who was holding the two of them, into Cining Palace and reprimanded him severely.
