Almost Liu Chengfeng's henchmen have arrived, and now there has been a sudden change, in Liu Chengfeng's view, the thousands of households in the inner city want to use, but the ones who are really willing to work hard are their own people.
Lao Huo tilted his head and sat in the corner silently without speaking, his surname is like this, when others say a word, he moves, and never makes any suggestions, like an old donkey, willing to do but rarely calling.
The father and son of the two Wang officials all looked thoughtful, as if someone owed the Wang family money, and their faces were sad.
In fact, among these people who followed Liu Chengfeng, the big and small Wang officials were the hardest, and they had been buried in the first case, don't look at every time they were sitting, but they were working hard, and even Wang Tao was now a lot older, and there were subtle fish lines at the corners of his eyes.
Li Dongdong and Chen Hongyu sat on the left and right sides of Liu Chengfeng, Chen Hongyu's face was still as usual, but Li Dongdong always had a smiling face, which made people never see through his thoughts.
"It's really getting more and more difficult to do, the emperor's meaning is already very clear, those who pay homage to the high king have to record it, to find out the details, this matter is also easy, will there be anything in this world that Jinyi Wei can't find out? It's just that things are in a hurry, and Ben Hou's marriage date is only in this one or two, so in case there is a change, we must be careful. ”
Liu Chengfeng said as he rubbed his temples, looking very headache. As the saying goes, a politician must be ignorant of government. Liu Chengfeng used to scoff at this sentence, but now he thinks it makes sense. Now he is also facing this situation, in the decision of major events, he is indeed very keen, and even beyond ordinary people in many aspects, but when it comes to these trivial matters, he has a black eye, how to arrange, how to carry out all aspects of spying, although he is a Jinyiwei business, but he does not know anything, it is said that he used to be a grassroots level, but it is a pity that when he was a captain, he was just a sitting detective, and this thing is called a stake in the eyes of Jinyiwei, which means that it is used for deterrence, and there are still many differences between what Jinyiwei really does.
"There are also four seas trading houses, no one should move now, and they will also check carefully to see how many details there are. Lao Huo, come here, go to Jubaolou to bring up all the archives of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and check it carefully and carefully, so as not to make any omissions. ”
Lao Huo said: "Yes." ”
In fact, Lao Huo's errand is the easiest, check the Sihai Commercial Bank, if it is changed to before, it is really not easy, but now it is much easier, at least in the treasure building there are archives of each member, where the goods were traded in a certain year and month, how much is the value, and which merchants have traded more with the Four Seas Commercial Bank, how is the credit, and how the evaluation of both sides is, these are clearly recorded, you can directly call up the file, and then carefully check what the Sihai Commercial Bank has, it is much easier.
Listening to Liu Chengfeng's words, Wang Siyi couldn't help but say: "Master Hou doesn't have to bother, the files of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, the students have already transferred them, and they have really found something." ”
As soon as the priest said this, everyone's eyes fell on him.
Liu Chengfeng said: "Okay, you can talk about it." ”
Wang Si said: "From the books, it seems that there are no clues, but the Four Seas Commercial Bank has traded with a businessman surnamed Ruan several times in the past year, all of which are transactions to buy timber from Annan with huge sums of money, and the cost is very high, and some transactions exceed 100,000 taels of silver. ”
Everyone couldn't help but take a breath when they heard this, 100,000 taels of silver to buy wood from Annan, although now a hundred wastes are waiting to be rebuilt, papermaking, road construction, and house construction all need wood, and the wood in Annan and other countries is still good, but the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the point of shortage of wood, to put it mildly, even if the wood is really tight, the high-quality timber trafficked into the customs in Liaodong is enough to meet the demand, but what does the Four Seas Commercial Bank do when they buy Annan timber on a large scale? Although this business may not lose money, after all, this exotic timber is still quite popular, but now there are more profitable businesses, and there is no need to do such a low-profit business with the financial resources of the Four Seas Commercial Bank.
Wang Si then continued: "Later, the student went to pick up the archive of the Annan merchant surnamed Ruan, who received a member in Jubaolou half a year ago, and this person is said to have a lot of financial resources in Annan, and has been buying the guns and artillery of the Jubao firm for many years, and then trafficked the pig iron, timber, and grain of Annan to my Ming Dynasty for sale, and the reputation is also quite good, and only last month spent 130,000 taels of silver into a batch of firearms. Originally, it was normal for Annan merchants to buy guns and artillery on a large scale, after all, this is what is most lacking over there now, but it is a little strange that a merchant has such a large amount of goods. ”
Although there is no surname in the words of the Wang Siyi, the meaning is obvious, this surname Ruan should not be a businessman sent by Annan, there is a great possibility, that is, some people with a heart wantonly buy firecrackers in the name of Annan businessmen, after all, it is very taboo for businessmen in the Ming Dynasty to buy this thing, and it is easy to make people suspicious if they buy so many at one time, but if it is an Annan person, no one will pay attention to it.
Liu Chengfeng squinted, and couldn't help but think in his heart, most of the businessmen surnamed Ruan are the people of King Ning, this arrangement is actually very simple, if you want to buy firearms from the world, you must first have a businessman from Annan, but there are two kinds of businessmen in Annan, one is official, and the other is a private businessman, King Ning obviously can't get the name of the official businessman of Annan, so he lets people buy firearms on a large scale in the name of private businessmen, but the financial resources of private businessmen are often not strong, and such a wealthy Annan businessman suddenly appears in the market, and there must also be cover, Therefore, this person appeared in the name of peddling grain, timber, etc., both shipping and buying, in fact, to put it bluntly, he transferred the money from his left hand to his right hand with the Four Seas Commercial Bank, and then used the money from his right hand to buy firecrackers on a large scale.
Although it is just a guess, but this news can be regarded as a shock, King Ning seems to have started to prepare, the firearm has proven its sharpness, it is impossible for King Ning not to train a magic machine battalion, or he will not make such a trick.
After being silent for a long time, Liu Chengfeng said: "The surname Ruan, stare me to death, but don't startle the snake." However, at the moment, the main task is to deal with the high king, so be careful to watch out for him. Chen Qianhu, what do you say? ”
Chen Hongyu said: "Master Hou, the upper high king's side is already full of lieutenants on the inner three floors and the outer three floors, and they are staring at it." ”
Liu Chengfeng nodded, and was about to say something, but a captain outside hurriedly came in, Liu Chengfeng had given an order before, but if there is any important news, you don't have to tell it, you can go directly into the duty room to speak.
The lieutenant saluted Liu Chengfeng and said, "Master Hou, I found something at the Four Seas Trading House. ”
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but sit up straight and said, "Say it quickly." ”
"On the side of the Four Seas Firm, before the King of the High King returned from the palace, there was a monk who went to pay respects, and the Lord had instructed that it was necessary to strictly prevent the people who were guarding the three religions and nine streams from visiting, so the brothers had been paying attention, and when the King of the High King returned to the Four Seas Merchant House for half an hour, the monk came out, but he had already changed his clothes, and the brothers were afraid of startling the snake, and did not dare to get too close, so they followed from a distance, who knew that this person was very cunning, familiar with the stalking, and actually dumped a few of our brothers at the end of a street, and later some brothers recalled, It was found that this monk was actually a little similar to the Dingxian wanted by the imperial court before. ”
As soon as the lieutenant's voice fell, the whole hall was shocked.
Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but cheer up at this time: "How many are similar?" ”
"Seventy percent."
Mingjiao ......
Liu Chengfeng's eyes had already passed a trace of haze, although he had already known that King Ning had a lot to do with Mingjiao, but in any case, he would never have imagined that even Mingjiao would do it at this time. You must know that King Yining's cautious surname will never allow the people of the Ming Sect to enter the troubled waters of the Beijing Division if he wants to maintain a situation of fighting but not breaking at this juncture. The reason is very simple, Mingjiao has always been the most feared object of the imperial court, and now although the imperial court suspects that King Ning and Mingjiao have colluded, there is no evidence, but once something is discovered, it is impossible to tolerate it anymore, as long as the evidence is conclusive, the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court is bound to act immediately.
Liu Chengfeng has always estimated that King Ning's side is not ready to rebel, and it is impossible to do such a stupid thing at this time, so he has never counted Mingjiao into the mess of Jingshi's trip, but now the people from Mingjiao have appeared, and there may only be two......
One of them: King Ning has actually been prepared for a long time, and this time to let the King of Shanggao enter Beijing is to let the imperial court do a big job in this Beijing division without being on guard.
Second: Mingjiao and King Ning are only in a cooperative relationship, King Ning can't meddle in Mingjiao's internal affairs at all, and Mingjiao and King Ning may not be as united as he thought, and maybe even Mingjiao has other intentions at all.
The former may be a headache, if King Ning is really ready, it will definitely not be a good thing for the imperial court. However, the latter possibility does not seem to be a good thing, and the sudden appearance of Mingjiao must have ulterior motives.
"What does Mingjiao want to do?" Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but murmur in a low voice.
At this time, the whole duty room could hear the needles falling, and they were discussing how to deal with the high king, but a Mingjiao jumped out, and the matter was even more complicated, as if things were destined to not go well. And once Mingjiao appears, it means that something big will happen, and what will this big event be?
