In the back hall, Bai Daolong's eyes were fierce, his face was trembling, Zhong Shangwei was upright, the two confronted each other for a while, Bai Daolong's eyes were fierce, and his face was also soft, piling up a circle of laugh lines, and arched his hand and said, "Master Zhong, I haven't seen ......you for a long time."

A heart on the bell was originally seven up and eight down, stiff all over, this call, the heart was high, almost soft on the ground, on the momentum, hurry up a long bow "Lord Bai"

As soon as his posture changed, Bai Daolong picked up the shelf again, and coughed, "Where are you making your fortune now?" ”

Listening to this tone, there was a taste of using him as a dog back then, Zhong Shangyuan got up, his waist was straight, and he also raised it, "The director of Jiāo Toe Coal Industry is not a big man, Peng Yuan of Yinghua West Academy, that is Zhong's brother ......"

Peng Xianzhong's Peng Yide was selected for the West Courtyard, and Zhong Shangwei relied on Peng Yide's relationship to get a piece of coal land in Jiāo, which is not too deep Jiāo love, but it is not hard to pull him out.

Seeing that Bai Daolong seemed to be a little puzzled, Zhong Shangwei smiled and added, "Peng Yide is the father of Peng Xianzhong, the left of the Chinese book, and the courtyard affairs of the West Courtyard are equivalent to the imperial history of the court here." ”

Bai Daolong secretly sighed, the smile lines on his face deepened, and he waved his hand and said, "Sit down, let's also have a good gathering today." ”

When it comes to attaching to power, Zhong Shangwei and Bai Daolong are both the same raccoon dogs, and they have an extraordinary relationship with His Majesty the Emperor of the South, so they don't have to find another background. But what's worse is that Zhong Shangwei was evil with the emperor back then, and Bai Daolong was riding the wall. After the establishment of Yinghua, Bai Daolong walked through the palace early and was promoted to the deputy capital of Hangzhou.

But now the situation is different, Yinghua set up a "dragon mén port" on the north shore of Hangzhou Bay, which is only less than 100 miles away from Jinshanwei.

Unexpectedly, there was a former mén dog clock in it, and Bai Daolong's mind suddenly came alive.

The bell took a full shelf, and only after sitting down did he ask, "...... others?"

Bai Daolong waved his hand and said, "When will Master Zhong become a good person?" Don't be in a hurry, let's talk about ours, since Master Zhong has such a mén road, let's talk about business. ”

Zhong Shangwei should have been used to nodding his head, yes, why should he care about other people, now Bai Daolong not only treats him well, but also talks to him about business, and other people, let them die......

Then he was trembling again, this is not good, if he lives alone, those bitter relatives may sue him for treason Bai Daolong can cover him? Can this court in the north protect him?

Zhong Shangwei hurriedly said, "Lord Bai, how can my little business get into your eyes." The people who were on the same boat with me all had big business on their backs, and I couldn't afford to treat them badly. ”

Bai Daolong looked at Zhong Shang's position for a while, pointed at him and said with a smile, "Old Zhong, you are so virtuous, you will not be able to get out in your life." ”

Zhong Shang is greedy, Zhong Shang is cowardly, Zhong Shang has not committed many small evils in the first half of his life, but he is such a little person. If you change the courage and heart, you can take other people's affairs on yourself and achieve a great cause. ^e^ Look at the free fee for the supply ^^ But Zhong Shangwei doesn't have this string in his brain, or he doesn't have this heart, which is also the reason why he is familiar with the emperor's fellow villagers, and he is still a small coal boss after so many years of tossing in Yinghua.

It seems that he is also very self-aware, and Zhong Shangwei smiled "shyly", "What are you doing with such a big head?" It's a good life. ”

The two of them quickly entered the corner, and after more than half an hour, Zhong Shangwei turned out of the back hall, and looked at the other people with apprehension and suspicion, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, everyone will be fine, let's come here, isn't it just for business, there is a big deal now......"

More than 100 people were escorted to a nearby temple, led by Zhong Shang, and began urgent deliberations.

Bai Daolong's meaning is very direct, although the sea area is not in the hands of the Chao Yuan Court in the north, but the land route is still there. Yongzheng gained experience from Tian Wenjing and asked Li Wei to take care of the work in Jiangnan and assign the defense to the military and political officials. The civil officials led the city, the military attache kept his mouth, and he Bai Daolong, as the deputy capital of Hangzhou, was in charge of the route from Songjiang Mansion to Hangzhou Mansion. ..., if the British and Chinese merchants want to enter Hangzhou Mansion, they have to pass under his Bai Daolong's nose. Bai Daolong knew very well that Yinghua would definitely solve his obstacle, so he organized the Jinshan Defense on the one hand, and on the other hand, he was looking for relationships around to see if there was a plan to draw a fight. At the same time, this relationship can't be put on the surface, otherwise Yinghua will directly sell him Bai Daolong, what should I do?

The arrival of this boatman, especially Zhong Shang's throne, solved Bai Daolong's problem, which was also the fundamental reason for his condescension.

Li Shun was puzzled: "Didn't you say that Jiangnan people are hostile to me Yinghua?" How can this Bai Daolong talk about business when he opens his mouth? ”

Liu Wenlang sneered: "Jiangnan people? Are you talking about Zhejiang? Jiangsu people? Or Anhui people? Are you talking about those Yangzhou salt merchants who spend a lot of money, or the farmers who sweat and hoe the fields every day? Are you talking about the old man who is shrunk in the yamén and can't live in fear, or is he full of Taoist learning, just thinking about being promoted to an official and making a fortune, and even his braids have become a cynic symbolic of Zhengshuo? ”

Liu Wenlang himself is a Jiangnan person, and he said deeply, "Jiangnan people are not one person, they are thousands of different people"

Zhong Shangwei said, "That Bai Daolong is not from Jiangnan, but he has power in Jiangnan." His Jinshanwei was near the port of Longmén, and he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. Resist my Tianyuan Dynasty army, a dead end, do business with us secretly, and make a fortune, a normal person knows how to choose. ”

Li Shun shook his head and said, "I don't want to do business with the Tartar officials." ”

Liu Wenlang also said, "We are looking for someone who can cooperate in Jiangnan, but this kind of big man who can cover the sky with one hand can eat most of the profits, and I don't want to." ”

On the other hand, the king said hurriedly, "If you don't pay tribute to this white lord, how can you go through this road?" Just like my boat, I knew that this was the case today, and I would never want to go out of this black ship. It turned out to be beneficial to go to Haiyuan Pass to register and pay a fixed amount every year, and I was really heartbroken. Ignoring the dark bow of the ship, Zhong Shangwei said, "We can't be the master of this matter, if the court doesn't like this Jin Shanwei and directly sends troops to solve it, there is no need to talk to him." Looking at it this way, Bai Daolong didn't dare to eat the big profits, let alone control our business, it was nothing more than to pay some tolls. ”

Li Shun and Liu Wenlang still looked angry, but the bottom of the matter is like this, if Bai Daolong is not given some minimum benefits, the safety of this boatload of people will not be guaranteed. On the other hand, Bai Daolong's willingness to make money in harmony is also a benefit in business.

Everyone is a business person, and the process of negotiating matters is already familiar, and the proposal is proposed by several parties, and the neutral person puts together the proposal and then votes on it by a show of hands. In the end, everyone agreed to temporarily act as Bai Daolong's communication channel, and to pay the "toll" as the bottom line, and negotiate with the Yinghua Jiangnan camp stationed in Long Mén to ensure that the Yinghua army would not embarrass Jin Shanwei.

Bai Daolong sent his cronies to follow everyone to Longmén Port, while Zhong Shangwei and a few people stayed in Jinshanwei, whether they were hostages or discussed the details of the next step, it depended on how they negotiated with the Yinghua court.

The black ship went around in a big circle, and finally came to the port of Longmén, and after going ashore, it was down-to-earth, and everyone was completely relieved, this was already their land of Yinghua, and there was no longer any fear.

At this time, the "port" was still only literally, the army set up temporary berths with barges, and the storm embankment was only circled with buoys.

But along the coast for more than ten miles, hundreds of large ships are lined up, nervously loading and unloading people and goods. It is only a tidal flat, and there are many military tents, but there are all kinds of signboards, including business association offices, temporary inns, warehousing affairs, and all kinds of shops, and the things sold are mainly infrastructure tools.

From afar, as far as the eye can see, there is a circle of makeshift fences, stretched out around a few simple sentry towers, and scattered gunshots can be faintly heard.

The gang was registering at the office at the docks, and when they heard the gunshots, their faces changed again, and they thought that this was a battlefield. The clerk who made the registration shrugged and said, "That's just the Qing people stealing our barbed wire, what are you doing?" Pull it out and sell it, a roll of barbed wire can be sold for a few taels of silver in Jiangnan, just get used to it. When the army came ashore here, thousands of Qing soldiers came to attack, but as a result, hundreds of corpses were lost, and they did not dare to move again. ”

Then he glanced at the crowd, "Are there any guards?" If you have it, go to the camp guard office to register and get a license, and the guards who don't have a brand can not recognize it, and they don't sell guns and ammunition. ..., Li Shun's eyes lit up, "I protect myself by myself, and I can also take cards?" ”

The clerk nodded, "Of course, but as long as you're here, you'll have to be drafted." It's not to fight the Qing soldiers, it's to deal with the people who come to make noise. There are not many people in the imperial court here, and they will not be used to deal with the people. ”

Speaking of the people, the clerk was full of anger and gushed endlessly, introducing the situation here to them. It has been more than a month since the imperial court landed here, and the Qing soldiers only came once, and they did not dare to come again after being beaten, followed by large and small groups of people. Wielding a hoe and a bamboo pole, he wanted to drive them into the sea.

Several large companies that came with the imperial court brought a lot of guards, and even the workers of Qingtian Infrastructure, all of whom received guard cards and guns in their hands. The Yinghua National High School saw this as a good opportunity to expand its business, and sent a jīng dart team, which was basically composed of veterans, to organize everyone to fight the people, and beat these people who were Gu Huò to the soul, and they no longer dared to make trouble.

Seeing that everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the clerk said, "The matter is not over yet, don't go out at will, those people are gone, and some other people are here again." ”

These people are a little bit upset, they are all bold lords, and they don't kill people, they are in a group of three or five, pretending to be flat-headed ordinary people, and taking advantage of the fact that the British and Chinese are not paying attention, they will rob money and even people, and ask for ransom.

Liu Wenlang said hehehe, "The Tartar government is also active, and it actually released the characters on the underworld. ”

The clerk nodded, "Yes, if you want to go out, it's best to go to the dart bureau to hire guards, don't rely on your own guards." The dart bureau has recently bought a lot of hún rivers and lakes, so that they can help as guides. ”

Hearing this, Li Shun was a little anxious, "Now everyone can enter Jiangnan to sell goods?" ”

The clerk shrugged his shoulders and smiled, "I really haven't seen an honest businessman like you, everyone comes from the south, they all sell bulk goods, who is busy with the small business that runs tuǐ?" When I go out, I go to contact the relationship and find the next home, and it is estimated that Jiangnan people will have to come to us in the future. ”

After chatting with the clerk for a while, knowing Long Mén's current situation, Liu Wenlang said, "It's really enough, our court doesn't want to take care of things, and the court of the Tatars can't take care of things." ”

Li Shun disagreed: "There is a law, there is an army, what do you want the court to do?" Aren't we like this in Funan? I'll go over there, and you can take everyone to the camp manager first. ”

He saw a big indigo tent standing in the distance, and there was a knot flag standing on the top of the tent, which was the symbol of the Heavenly Temple, and he said to Liu Wenlang and ran away.

Although Liu Wenlang had a deep relationship with Li Shunjiāo, he was very puzzled by Li Shun's devotion to Catholicism, pouted and sighed, and walked away.

Long Mén Port is now a big construction site, digging pits everywhere, around several circles, only to find the Yinghua Imperial Court set up in Long Mén Port, I heard that it is the matter of Jinshan Wei Bai Daolong, a one-eyed young man saw them.

Everyone was taken aback and bowed together, "Fan...... Fan Zhizheng? ”

Fan Jin, the Privy Councillor Zuo Zhizheng, is a one-eyed dragon, everyone in the country knows that he is not only in charge of the army, but also in charge of military law, and his status is higher than Xiao Sheng, why did he come here?

Instructed shì to bring down the accompanying Bai Daolong envoy, Fan Jin said to everyone, "I will come here only because of this matter that you mentioned." It is very clear in the "Trade Regulations" that the Manchu government and the Qing soldiers were dealt with by the imperial court. This is not only a matter of using knives and guns, but also solving problems with tongues, which is naturally better. ”

Everyone was relieved that their reliance was so sufficient.

Liu Wenlang asked, "Then this Jin Shanwei, what does the imperial court think?" ”

Fan Jin said, "The imperial court doesn't have any ideas, it depends on what you think." You don't want to let Jin Shanwei be in the middle, and the court will help you get rid of it, you think you can share the benefits with Jin Shanwei, let them help you dredge the trade goods, and the court will keep them. ”

Liu Wenlang and the others stayed for a while before they tasted the taste, yes, isn't that the meaning of the "Trade Regulations"?

Fan Jin continued: "The imperial court can't send troops to recover Jiangnan now, and this difficulty has been explained very thoroughly in the country. Even so, it is unrealistic to let the merchants enter the south of the Yangtze River, and it is unrealistic not to interact with the government and Qing soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, what to do, you are merchants, and you know better than me......

Liu Wenlang thought of some other people, especially the official who had harmed him, his face flushed, and he was about to speak, Fan Jin said again, "Who can you cooperate with, and who must not stay, this also needs to be paid attention to." How you pay attention to it depends on your own meaning. The military intelligence department of the imperial court is also here, and there are people who are particularly obstructive to the eye, and you can report to them. ”

Liu Wenlang is overjoyed, and the Military Intelligence Department is also there? At this time, why should he seek revenge in person, as long as he contacts those in the country who have suffered from the Jiangnan cultural disaster, and complains together, the Military Intelligence Department will definitely not dare to ignore their public opinion.

Sending Liu Wenlang and the others away, Fan Jin pinched his chin, and his eyes lit up.

Bai Daolong, what an acquaintance, if the official family is here, I am afraid that I will also be full of emotion, the current situation in the south of the Yangtze River has repeated the way when the official family devoured Guangdong, and Bai Daolong's appearance is more like a repetition of the old things.
