Chapter Seventy-Three: All of them are eunuchs

Later generations have a famous saying [where there is oppression, where there is resistance], the head of the family is missing, this kind of thing is useless just by pressing, the Yan family's business is all over Ningbo, not to mention anything else, just the shops on the street, there are dozens of them, most of them are taken care of by the children of the Yan family, these children of the Yan family found that someone came to the door every day to make trouble, and it was not taken seriously, but it lasted for more than ten days, as long as it was a businessman, and he sincerely wanted to do business, no one could bear it.

You must know that at the beginning, Yan Qingwei scolded Ningbo City Bo Tiju Si Hou to raise it as [Fly Camp Dog Gou Yixiaobai], this matter is known to many people in the Yan family, and now naturally some people revisit the old words, yin and yang said that our eldest lady usually said that she would sing with those literati in the middle of the year, and every year just to give her teacher Xu Wenchang's various pen, ink and paper is counted in a hundred taels of silver, and she doesn't know the hardships of life under the spring, and now she should make some sacrifices for the Yan family! They are all sixteen years old, and they should have married a long time ago, and Emperor Hongwu was only fourteen years old when he married a princess.

The children of the Yan family who spoke didn't know what benefits Hou Xiaobai had, as soon as he said this, Yan Qingwei was so angry that she burst into tears, and China's habits, no matter what suggestions you put forward, there are always people who coax the seedlings, so some people said, this idea is good, that Hou Tiju is standing behind Li Shaonan, the political secretary of Zhejiang, not to mention that people do not treat Qingwei badly, marrying the past is the head of the lady, although our Yan family has a big business, in the end there have been several generations of official eunuchs, married to a person from the sixth grade, It can be regarded as our Yan family taking advantage.

As soon as these words were said, everyone was gossiping, disturbing one after another, talking about the benefits of marrying and not marrying, but none of them asked if Miss Yan was willing, this is also where the human affection lies, now everyone knows that it is Hou Tiju who is making trouble behind his back, and the head of the family has disappeared without a trace, and the wall is pushed by everyone, although Yan Dazhang is the head of the family, it does not mean that no one covets the position under his buttocks.

Fortunately, the old housekeeper was used in front of the previous generation of the head of the family, and he was still quite dignified, and he only said one sentence, which made everyone speechless, and he said: The old masters and young masters of each room, what do you say! The truth is good, but have you forgotten who is standing behind our Yan family?

Everyone suddenly shuddered, not that the Yan family is not afraid of anyone if they have a backstage, but the one behind the Yan family, who is also going to eat meat and drink blood with one mouth, Cai Tai, the governor of Zhejiang.

This is different from Li Shaonan, the political secretary of Zhejiang, although Li Shaonan is greedy, but he is very good at salt affairs and Tuntian, and the assessment of the officials has always been the evaluation of [capable members] [Shangshang], the only drawback is that he loves to drill the camp too much, first drilled the camp Zhang Juzheng, and before Zhang Juzheng died last year, he made the god bad, and took refuge in the eunuch party, the eunuch Zhang Whale of the East Factory palm seal and the great eunuch Zhang Whale in the palm of the treasury, and in the sixty-three provinces in the south and north of the world, as a provincial governor, the first to participate in the eunuch Feng Bao's excerpt, Feng Bao fell this year, was assigned to Nanjing Xiaoling to grow vegetables, and he suddenly became the most useful civil official under Zhang Whale.

It is precisely because of all kinds of drill camps that he firmly sits in the position of Zhejiang's political envoy, you must know that Zhejiang's rich land of fish and rice, a good place in the world, he has occupied this position for several years, but no one can squeeze him out.

Unlike the political envoys, most of the governors are in charge of military affairs, such as local civil uprisings, the governor will be the first to bear, and the general governor is also the commander of the military affairs, that is, the so-called civilian military affairs, local military guards, soldiers and horses, military salaries, people's strong, fast capture, post stations, conscription, etc., are all under the jurisdiction of the governor.

And Zhejiang Governor Cai Tai Cai Yuheng, Jiajing twenty-six years Ding Weike was born in the second class of Jinshi, for the official thirty years of Qi, his list of Jinshi, there are Zhang Juzheng, there are Wang Shizhen, there are a lot of big bulls, he ranks second to the end of the second class, but in any case, there is Zhang Juzheng in the same year, it is difficult to be underdeveloped, he is similar to Wang Shizhen, and he is also a typical example of the literati doing martial arts, the head of the military department, the foreign officer, the military envoy, and then the right attendant of the Nanjing Military Department, who completed the biggest turning point in his life in Nanjing, Befriended the Nanjing garrison eunuch Mu Jiumu father-in-law, became a glorious member of the eunuch party, successfully washed away the traces of Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Ge Lao on his body, and was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang.

In fact, whether it is Li Shaonan or Mrs. Cai, they all take the typical route of the Ming Dynasty, befriend the eunuchs, or directly label themselves as eunuchs, even if it is Zhang Juzheng, it is also a guy wearing a pair of pants with the great eunuch Feng Bao, without the big eunuch covering you, it is almost a fool's dream to be an official in the Ming Dynasty.

As a member of the eunuch party, this Governor Cai was infected with the biggest problem of the eunuch party, he loved money and goods, and the military attache of Zhejiang took office, and the first thing he did was to give Governor Cai an offering, otherwise, the position under the ass would never sit in prison and not sit for a long time, and Governor Cai was also on the road, no matter what method he used to get the silver, he would definitely take out forty percent of the filial piety to the Nanjing garrison eunuch Mu Jiu, and the black eyes could not see the silver of the white flowers, so the father-in-law of the Mu was so good that he couldn't wait to wear the same pants and call each other brothers.

In this way, on the entire ground in the south of the Yangtze River, who can afford to provoke him Governor Cai?

Of course, Li Shaonan's political envoy is not afraid of him, and there is Zhang Whale, the eunuch of Dongchang's palm print, behind him. When these two people met, they were polite on the surface, but in their hearts they seemed to be pretending to be two cats, and their teeth were erect and their hairs exploded, but they were all bluffs, and no one dared to make the first move.

There are also factions between the eunuchs, but it is not a matter of life and death, and they generally do not fight to the death, and the partisan struggle among the civil officials is much more cruel.

But no matter what, these two people, neither of them can be offended by the Yan family, Governor Cai Taicai is a bone sucking marrow and eating people without spitting out bones, although standing behind the Yan family, but if the Yan family really marries Li Shaonan's brother-in-law, I am afraid that they will immediately face the thunderous anger of Governor Cai.

You can only stand on one side, and if you want to step on two boats, the end is basically that you can't step on both sides and end up drowning, which is also the reason why Yan Dazhang knew that Hou Xiaobai was Li Shaonan's brother-in-law and didn't marry his daughter to the other party, he is an old fox, how can he resolutely not marry his daughter just because his daughter doesn't like each other and let his daughter slap other people's faces, this kind of thing, any qualified businessman should not do.

If he marries his daughter to the brother-in-law of the political envoy of Zhejiang, what will the governor of Zhejiang think of this matter? I'm afraid that the first thought is to be annoyed and angry: Mud Horse, you are a businessman, do you dare to betray me, thinking that the old man is a clay sculpture?

Therefore, Miss Yan scolded Hou Ti for lifting the fly camp and being a little white, but it was Yan Dazhang who said to Mrs. Cai, my Yan family is still on your side of the governor.

However, because Governor Cai is mostly in charge of military affairs, unlike Li Shaonan, who is in charge of civil affairs, he is well-known among the people, so these children of the Yan family, under the pampering and pampering, actually forgot about this tiger who can eat people.

And the old housekeeper of Yan Gan started from the previous generation of family owners, and he came into contact with the most critical business of the Yan family, smuggling, and for decades, he knew everything about the Zhejiang army, guards, soldiers, etc., and he knew a lot about the top military officer in Zhejiang.

Of course, the Yan family bears the name of Governor Cai, and there is usually no big trouble, but this time, this trouble is too big, so big that Governor Cai may not be able to protect and protect the Yan family.

A few days ago, a few thousand households broke into the Yan family with people, and asked the Yan family if they were colluding with pirates, otherwise there were big ships escorted by Zhenhaiwei, why did the ships, goods, and people not know where to go, or the old housekeeper of Yan Gan said that he had been doing business with the former head of the family and the people on the military guard for decades, and they also gave him a little thin noodles, but they said, give the Yan family another three months, either see the money, or see the goods, otherwise, Hugh blames us for not being emotional.

It's almost an ultimatum.

600,000 taels of silver, Mrs. Cai may not be willing to work hard to protect the Yan family, although the generals on the military guard are nominally Cai Tai's subordinates, but will Mrs. Cai offend the generals under her for the sake of the Yan family! 600,000 taels of silver, Mrs. Cai can't embezzle this number in a year, even if he gets so much silver, it is impossible to take it out to protect the Yan family, you know, say a thousand ways and 10,000, the Yan family is a businessman after all, and he usually calls you a brother and sister, that is to give you face, in fact, it is to give face to the silver, if you have no silver, who will give you face on the mud horse, and the merchant with silver is the best businessman.

These heads of the Yan family are all a little dumbfounded, this can't work, that doesn't work, and the head of the family is nowhere to be found, so what should I do?

At the critical time, the old housekeeper of Yan Gan made a decision, thinking that everything must have cause and effect, and others came to move the Yan family, naturally there was a purpose, and now the owner of the family is nowhere to be found, and the goods on the sea are gone, so everyone squeezes it first and makes up the silver.

When it comes to making money, these children of the Yan family have bitter faces one by one, and some of them eat tea silently when they pick up the teacup, eager to bury their faces in the teacup.

"Under the nest, how can there be eggs?" The old housekeeper of Yan Gan shouted, "Without the Yan family, do you think you can support it by relying on you?" Whether it is the governor of Zhejiang or the political envoy of Zhejiang, an official document saying that our Yan family is in trouble with Haikou, hum! When the time comes, there will be countless hungry wolves who will pounce on the Yan family to eat the flesh of the Yan family and drink the blood of the Yan family, so that you will not be able to scrape together some money, and then you will raid the family and destroy the clan, and your wife and daughter may not be able to keep it......"
