The chaos that stirred up the Japanese state was chaotic, and even Zhao Lie, who affected North Korea, is now quite anxious. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Second brother, in the past few months, the caravans of Luo Fatzi, Fan Xiangwen, Yan Junyi and others have been left in trouble by the surrounding government or garrison generals one after another, and they have suffered a lot of losses, and they have found me several times to complain."

In the Shidao official office, Zhao Meng had a sad face.

"This is the Son of Heaven is powerful, in terms of military strength can not embarrass my Zhao family, today I have set my eye on the money and grain of my Zhao family, driving the officials and soldiers everywhere in Shandong to embarrass the merchants of Denglai, so that the salt goods I am waiting for cannot be distributed, the Son of Heaven is to impoverish my Zhao family, so that I have no financial resources to prepare the army."

Zhao Lie pursed his lips, if he used this trick at the beginning, it would have a fatal impact on the Broken Army, and now the Broken Army has the money bags of the Japanese Kingdom plus the income from the sea, even if there is no progress in these aspects, it can stand it.

Of course, in order to cooperate with the Zhao family and the Ming Dynasty to the point of incompatibility, deceive Jiannu to rest assured to enter the Kou, and the strategy of destroying the main force of the Kou, the Broken Army must react fiercely no matter what, otherwise there is no fierce conflict between the tip of the needle and Maimang, how can Jiannu rest assured as soon as possible, wouldn't it make the so-called Emperor Taiji of the Qing Dynasty break his heart.

"Where are these places that embarrass the merchants of Denglai?" Zhao Lie looked at his brother.

"The most ruthless attack on Luo Fatzi and Fan Xiangwen here is Liu Neng, the general of Gunzhou, this person is a military general of Xuanfu, and he was promoted to the general of Gunzhou Town Guard because of his meritorious service in suppressing bandits, and his soldiers are about 2,000 people."

Zhao Meng thought for a while and said,

"This person originally looked at Luo Fat's filial piety, and still vigorously supported Luo Fatzi's local distribution of salt and cement, as well as the special products of the Japanese and North Koreans."

Zhao Meng said this, Zhao Lie remembered Luo Fat's desire for money and daring to take risks, and he was good at drilling camps, and it was estimated that there would be no shortage of offerings to this Liu Neng.

"But just a month ago, he suddenly sent troops to seal Luo Pang and Fan Xiangwen's local business, all the items were seized, charged with illegal sea trade, smuggling salt goods, two families can have 80,000 taels of silver goods were confiscated, because Gunzhou is the main road from Shandong to Nanjinggi, there are many objects that spread, Luo Pang and others still have hundreds of thousands of arrears, if you don't open up the link of Gunzhou, those merchants who owe money may rely on the arrears."

Zhao Meng couldn't help but smile when he remembered the pained way Luo Fat Man cried to him,

"Luo Pang and Fan Xiangwen asked for someone to dredge up a few times, but Liu Neng didn't let go, and even made threatening words, saying that they should not fall into the hands of him Liu Neng, otherwise they will definitely be arrested and questioned by the Gunzhou Mansion."

"Hmph, didn't the fat man of Gunzhou Mansion find someone to dredge it." Zhao Lieqi said.

"Haha, how can Luo Pang forget to dredge the Gunzhou Mansion, Daming has always been Wenzun and Wubei, how dare Liu Neng not give face to Liu Qingchang, the governor of the Gunzhou Mansion, but Liu Qingchang also shirked it, just said that this was Liu Neng's doing, and he didn't want to offend Liu Neng because of this matter, Luo Pang spent 10,000 taels of silver in vain to dredge, Liu Qingchang's housekeeper accepted this money and didn't do anything, Luo Fatzi Fan Xiang asked if there was no way to come to the door."

Zhao Meng shook his head, how could such a shrewd person as Luo Fatzi not go to the prefect's place, the problem was that Liu Qingchang didn't take this stubble except for swallowing Luo Fat's silver.

"Liu Neng dares to do this, I'm afraid it was instructed by him Liu Qingchang, at least it was acquiesced, when the Son of Heaven ordered me to clean up the Zhao family in Denglai, how dare he let Luo Fat go, wouldn't he cut off his future."

Zhao Lie smiled and shook his head, not seeing the general trend clearly, Luo Pang threw in another 100,000 taels of silver.

"That's not easy to do, the civil and military forces of a government are all aimed at my army, this is too difficult to do."

Zhao Meng sighed in embarrassment.

"Handle it the same as Qingzhou, send military horses to kill the generals, dare to embarrass my Denglai Zhao family, I will be beaten on the head and break the consciousness of blood."

Zhao Lie said coldly.

"This is not good, the Gunzhou Mansion is different from the Qingzhou Mansion, there is a King Lu who is in the domain."

Zhao Meng hurriedly reminded Zhao Lie that this matter could not be reckless.

"It is precisely because of the King of Lu that Liu Neng and the others are so rampant, thinking that like the eldest brother, they think that the Broken Army will be tied up, and they dare not overwhelm the territory."

Zhao Lie pointed to the West,

"I'm just glad that there is a King Lu there, hum, otherwise how can things get big, how can the Son of Heaven be angry, the Son of Heaven is not angry, how can Jiannu believe that the Son of Heaven and my Zhao family have reached a time when water and fire are incompatible."

Zhao Lie just wanted to use this King Lu to make things out of control, and there was no room for rotation with the court and the Son of Heaven, and also let the anxious Jiannu who was waiting on the side relax.

Of course, Zhao Meng knew Zhao Lie's thoughts, but he felt that the situation was getting more and more weird, although this younger brother said that he had been invincible all these years, but it was a battle for power, and whether he could control this general trend this time, he didn't know, and he was still extremely hesitant in his heart.

"Yu Dabao, send someone to summon Wang Haizhou." Zhao Lie said to Yu Dabao, who was waiting on the side.

Yu Dabao took the order in a sullen voice.

Liu Neng is forty-four years old this year, a hereditary military general in Xuanfu, because he exterminated a large number of fierce horse bandits of 1,000 people and was promoted to a general, this process is not enough for outsiders, but it is said that the local disaster of horse bandits is endless, and I don't know where this Liu Shen General exterminated the horse bandits.

Liu Neng spent tens of thousands of taels of silver to escape from the impoverished and war-torn Xuanfu, and was transferred to the town guard general of the Shandong Gunzhou Mansion, in fact, he wanted to go to Linqing, but unfortunately it was not up to others, and there was a mistake in the middle of the matter, and Lord Liu could only go to Gunzhou to take office.

It is a chore to guard the generals in Gunzhou, which is worse than Xuanfu, because there is a king of Lu here who is in Gunzhou City.

The civil and military forces of Gunzhou are all walking on thin ice in this position, and without him, it is extremely difficult to deal with King Lu.

After the Jing disaster, Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, he was a success, you can imagine how vigilant Zhu Di is to the king of the lower domain, since then the vassal king has become a caged bird, can only nest in the city of the domain, even his heirs are the same, as the saying goes, the Ming room raises fat pigs.

Of course, in addition, the Ming royal family still takes great care of these vassal kings and is quite tolerant.

As a result, these palaces took advantage of this and their noble status to constantly annex the surrounding land, such as the Fu King of Luoyang, who had more than one million acres of land and became the largest landlord in Henan, and the most ironic thing was that he did not have to pay taxes.

King Lu occupied a lot of acres, hundreds of thousands of acres is enough, but people's greed will not be satisfied, he and his subordinates of all sizes of the housekeepers also stretched out their hands to the shops where the business is more prosperous, and they can always get it in their pockets.

As for how much of it was really asked for by King Lu, and how much of it was filled by the various housekeepers, foxes, and fake tigers, it was something that God knows.

Because of this, there have been a lot of disasters, and there are constantly small merchants who come to the Gunzhou Mansion to complain, saying that the Lu Wangfu has encroached on other people's fields and properties, seized other people's shops, and even some have sued the housekeepers of the palace for robbing the innocence of the people's women and bad people, etc.

It can be said that the reputation of the Lu Wangfu is extremely stinky, and the people of Gunzhou go out to see the team of the palace walking around.

In such a place, it is necessary to monitor the palace and not to collude with other forces, but it is not enough to block the palace too much, and the civil and military forces in Gunzhou are all angry little daughters-in-law, and they are miserable.

Liu Neng has just arrived here, not to mention how hard it has been, there is not much oil and water, but the responsibility is not small.

Can you rob the palace by grabbing the land and the shop, Liu Neng even thought about whether he could recover the tens of thousands of taels of silver he sent, a big loss.

But in less than a year, several Dengzhou businessmen came to the door to ask for a cover, very simply, that is, to distribute goods to the south.

Looking at the thousands of taels of silver offered, Liu Neng nodded, and of course also reminded the other party not to conflict with the fierce and vicious housekeepers and stewards of the palace.

This businessman named Luo and Fan Xiangwen is still quite good at coming to things, the prefect's yamen is also very diligent, and the palace also knows a thing or two, in short, he took the silver to open the way, and finally leveled the top and bottom of Gunzhou.

Then there was the arrival of cement and wrought iron and many items from the Korean kingdom, many of which were sold locally, and they set up two large shops here.

The benefits of cement here are really not said, and then there is this wrought iron is really a good object, it is tougher than the best Fujian fine iron, it is a good thing to build utensils, but the price is a lot more expensive.

In addition, the sale of folding fan costumes, inkstone cloth and some props in the Korean style of the Japanese Kingdom is extremely prosperous, attracting merchants from the northern part of Nanjinggi to come and buy in large quantities.

After two years of hard work, these two shops have swallowed up several shops on the side.

At this time, no one can see that these are good ways to make money, but they are blind, so some people have crooked thoughts.

The one who did not give up was Li Dongju, the long history of the Lu Wangfu, who kept blowing the wind to Zhu Shouyong, the king of Lu, so that the old prince also noticed the business of the two families, and it was a good deal to find someone to secretly investigate.

Since you have taken a fancy to it at a glance, it is to take it, who have you been afraid of in the Lu Wangfu in Gunzhou.

But there is a news that makes Zhu Shouyong, the king of Lu, hesitate a little, it is said that behind these merchants is the Denglai Zhao family, which is not easy to do.

Now is the time to use soldiers, and the imperial court relies heavily on the Zhao family, and it will be difficult to do it if there is a matter of seizing the Zhao family's shop at this time.

Then I carefully inquired about it, and these people really had something to do with the Zhao family, that is, it was impossible to find the source of these items without the supply of the Zhao family.

The others went to Zhao's house to buy goods, but they didn't say anything, they all handed them over to these merchants to sell, and if they were interested, they would find these merchants.

Let's put all this down first, and it is impossible for the palace to have everything go well.

Then there was Zhao Lie's big killing, as if he had become the first general of the Ming Dynasty, the god-like existence of the Ming army, and the relationship between the court of the Son of Heaven and the Zhao family became more complicated, and the palace no longer dared to do it, and he was deeply afraid of the big thing of the Long Live Lord.

However, Zhu Shouyong, the king of Lu, was convinced that things would eventually change, which he saw from the perspective of a vassal king, and the Son of Heaven would not be so forgiving to the Zhao family forever. (To be continued.) )
