Chapter 144: All-out confrontation

After Zhu Daolin's introduction, Sayide quickly calculated the difference between area and grade, and smiled very happily:

"Everyone knows the wharf delivery price of Daming silk cloth, ordinary silk cloth is 4-5 taels of silver per horse, medium-quality dyed silk is between 6-7 taels of silver per horse, and the fine Suzhou brocade is 12-16 taels of silver per horse according to the grade."

"The silk provided by Mr. Zhu is beyond the best silk of Daming in terms of craftsmanship, texture and color, and the unprecedented width is only possible to achieve by the ingenuity of precision looms, and the area of each silk is equivalent to about 5.4 times that of ordinary silk in Daming."

"Mr. Zhu, how do you see this, regardless of the color of these silk cloths, all of them are sold according to the highest price plus 20 taels of silver, and 115 taels of silver per horse? But in terms of the number of supplies, can it be doubled? ”

Zhu Daolin thought about it for a long time, and agreed with difficulty: "Okay! I accepted the price set by Mr. Sa, and considering the supply capacity and transportation constraints of the Tianshu Pavilion, it was impossible to guarantee a larger quantity of this fine quality jacquard silk, and only 500 horses could be added per round, that is, 2,500 pieces of jacquard silk of the same quality would be delivered to Mr. Sa every three months. ”

"I ask for Mr. Sa's understanding that I must faithfully carry out the contract I have signed with Mr. SΓ‘nchez and Mr. Moreno to guarantee their supply of 3,000 horses of fine quality jacquard silk every three months!"

"If it's the ordinary silk produced by the Heavenly Pivot Pavilion, there's no problem...... In this way, next time I will bring back two silk samples of different specifications and weaving processes, the price will be lower, but the supply quantity will be higher, and I am welcome to have a look at Mr. Sa and other friends at that time. ”

Sayide was very satisfied and thanked Zhu Daolin repeatedly. He instructed Feng Shengtai, the hired translator, to hurry up and assist his two assistants and the two bookkeepers brought by Ying Changpei to settle the goods that were about to be shipped, and then sat down beside Zhu Daolin, drinking tea and whispering.

After listening to Sa Yide's words, Zhu Daolin suddenly perked up, and simply took Sa Yide to the garden to walk and talk. Everyone around them realized that the two of them must have something important to decide, so they all stayed in the main hall with interest, not daring to disturb the secret conversation between Zhu Daolin and Sayide.

Almost at the same time, Liuhe, Taicang Prefecture, Taishidi Gatehouse, the mansion of the century-old family Wang.

Representatives of the southeast family from Hangzhou, Suzhou, Ningbo, Yuyao, Songjiang, Yangzhou and other places gathered at the Wang family mansion to listen to the briefing of the current patriarch of the Wang family, the brother of the late Wang Xijue, the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Dingjue, the old lady Wang Dingjue, who was praised as the "life-saving king Bodhisattva" by the people of Taicang.

The white-haired and energetic old lady Wang finished talking about the emergency incident in Jinling for two days and one night. The hall immediately resounded with bursts of exclamation and scolding, and the old lady Wang, who had foreseen it, smiled calmly, coughed lightly on the main seat, and the hustle and bustle of the hall came to an abrupt end.

Wang Dingjue slowly put down the beautifully carved agate snuff box, and continued to say in an unhurried and thick voice: "Those juniors in Jinling officialdom may have lived a good life for too long, and they are panicked and helpless in the face of the crisis, and a few people who are greedy for life and afraid of the dead quietly change their robes and flee home......

"Even Zheng Sanjun, who is supporting him as the secretary of the Criminal Department of Beiting. It seems that he has lost the sharpness of the year, and it has been for two days and one night. More than 10,000 Diao people who were bewitched by the Taoist priests of Ziyang Temple were stuck in their yamen. To tell the truth, these talents we have painstakingly cultivated are still difficult to take on the big responsibility at a critical juncture! ”

"Brother Zhang (Zheng Sanjun) won't be so bad, right? He is a Jinshi in the twenty-sixth year of Wanli, and he has been in the position of Yuanshi Zhixian, Nanjing Libu Langzhong, Guide Prefect, Fujian Scholar, and Nanjing Hubu Shangshu for almost 30 years, what kind of wind and waves have not been seen? I guess something else delayed him. ”

The fat man who spoke was Wang Liheng, the new head of the Wang family, a century-old family in Yangzhou and who had controlled the Huaihai salt industry for decades. But as soon as he defended his in-law Zheng Sanjun, he attracted the ridicule of nearly half of the family representatives in the hall.

Wang Liheng, who was in his fifties, straightened up his huge body and sneered at each other, and immediately attracted a joint attack from the Xu family in Huating and the head of the Xi family in Suzhou.

Wang Dingjue couldn't help but sink his face. knocked on the coffee table at hand: "They are all people with heads and faces, what kind of noisy and noisy people are?" When you were arguing, I don't know how many secretly sent messengers in Jinling City were rushing to the capital and all parts of Daming day and night......"

"Maybe the secret recital of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies of Jinling and the Command of the Jinyi Guard has passed through Huaibei, if you don't have the same heart and mind at this time, how to face this sudden crisis? How to play against a rival who has been planning for a long time? ”

"Take this opportunity, if you don't pay attention to it, join hands to fight against the opponent who wants to turn the sky upside down, maybe the major families in my southeast will not use it for a few years, and they will be cleaned up one by one, and when the time comes, I am afraid that there will be no chance at all!"

Everyone didn't dare to be a little presumptuous, and immediately started a discussion on the changes in Jinling City and the huge impact it brought about.

The secret meeting of the southeast family gate valve was held from noon until nightfall, and the eight gate valves, who looked like they were separated but had to spend the difficulties together, finally reached an agreement, agreeing with the detailed analysis of the old man Wang, believing that the situation was still under control, although the opponent suddenly made a fierce move, but from the analysis of various situations, the opponent was also not prepared, therefore, there was no need to divide everyone's vested interests to win over the ambitious Fujian Zheng family to join forces against the enemy.

With a unified understanding, the principals of the eight major families in the southeast can easily formulate a series of countermeasures:

First, continue to take the Donglin Party as the backbone, mobilize all the government and opposition forces that can be won over, launch counterattacks in the court, officialdom and morality, suppress the opponent by creating public opinion, slander the opponent, and once again win back the wavering public opinion;

Second, starting from the Qinglong Festival on the second day of the first month of February, each family took its own responsibility and ordered all businesses to use various means to launch a ten-day strike in Jinling City, so as to turn the resentment of millions of people outside Jinling City to the heads of the Jinling nobles and the Ziyang Guan, who wanted to restore the sky.

Third, it secretly encouraged the officers and men of the guards of the naval division along the river to leave the army, bribed the officers to sell weapons and various ships, made every effort to weaken the military power of the nobles of Jinling, and set aside the commanders of the guards of the naval division at all levels loyal to Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, and at the same time quietly strengthened the water transportation capacity and escort force of each family;

Fourth, the Xu family of Huating, the Xi family of Suzhou, and the Wang family of Shaoxing, with the assistance of the Wang family of Yangzhou, the Pan family of Suzhou, and the Xie family of Ningbo, strive to get in touch with the powerful people on the coastal water within half a month, spread the news, and exaggerate the cargo and wealth of Zhu Daolin's mysterious fleet by ten times.

With such a multi-pronged approach, even if it costs 1 million taels of silver, it is necessary to find the transport fleet of Zhu Daolin, the Taoist priest of Ziyang Temple, and then attack in groups, launch a fatal blow, completely cut off its sea channel, and achieve the purpose of drawing wages from the bottom of the kettle!
