Chapter 363: Cao Gang (2)
Qin Yunjie, as the leader of the world's largest gang, the big gift he took out was naturally not too light. Li Yanqing thought it was some Huaibei native products, such as gold and silver, gold and silver, or gold and silver, or Yangzhou thin horses. Unexpectedly, what he took out was an iron token. The token is no more than the size of a palm, and it is carved with a simple pattern.
Li Yanqing hadn't seen what it was, and Xie Yunshang couldn't help but say, "Thirteen Taibao tokens?" ”
"Yes, it's the Thirteen Taibao Tokens. Master Liu, there are only thirteen sides of this token in my Cao Gang, so it is known as the Thirteen Taibao. With this token, even if I am an elder of the Cao Gang, if I have the Cao Gang for a day, I will have an elder for a day. As long as you can keep my position as the helper, I am willing to offer this token with both hands. ”
The Cao gang leaders do not practice a hereditary system, or even a lifelong system. After all, this position is a year, to say the least, it is also tens of thousands of taels of silver, if it is a lifelong system, then how can others mix? Of course, the focus of each generation of Cao Gang leaders is to strive to make their tenure for life and make this position hereditary. The entire history of the Cao Gang is the history of the struggle between the gang leader and the elders.
Different from the position of the gang leader, the elders in the gang who hold the Thirteen Taibao Orders are hereditary and lifelong. Such elders cannot directly participate in the operation of the Cao Gang, but they enjoy the profit dividends of the Cao Gang. Every year, someone will send the dividends they deserve to the elder's home. Like the Ming Dynasty lords and nobles and the country, these elders who hold tokens can be counted as having a common rest.
Those who can enjoy this kind of token are not the disciples of the Cao Gang who shed blood and sweat, pulled fibers and carried Cao, or used knives to protect Cao. But they are all key characters who can decide the rise and fall of the Cao Gang from a certain process. For example, the governor of Caoyun in Fengyang, since he shackled to death the leader of the Cao Gang. There is an extra token in the family, and since then there has been an increase in the harvest of tens of thousands of taels of silver every year.
With Li Yanqing's grade and actual authority, it is obviously not enough to accept such a token. This exceptional order also shows that Qin Yunjie has been forced to a dead end. Already regardless of a qiē. It's not to blame him for breaking the rules, it's really that he has no other way to go.
There are basically no secrets in the Ming Dynasty, although Gao Gong has repeatedly instructed that the matter of changing the matter of returning to the sea must be kept secret and kept secret. But in fact, the Cao Gang got the news only two days later than Hu Jingshui. When Qin Yunjie heard the news, he immediately summoned the leaders and elders of the Cao Gang to come and discuss the plan, and took out a large sum of silver. Sent people to the Beijing Division to exercise, hoping that Gao Ge would raise his noble hand and leave a way for the millions of coolies in the Cao Gang.
It's a pity that Gao Ge is an honest person after all, and the silver bullet offensive in the past hundred and hundreds has also lost its power in Gao Xiang. Gao Ge is selfless and refuses to relax at all. Even if he sent several waves of envoys to cry Qin Ting, and even used the township party of Gaoge in the end, he only exchanged one sentence back: "The Cao Gang has been making too much trouble over the years, I think it may be better to let Shao Fang take care of it." ”
It doesn't matter what Gao Ge said. Someone already wanted to cut off Qin Yunjie's head and send it to Gao Xiang's Mansion in exchange for the survival of the Cao Gang. Fortunately, Qin Yunjie's accumulation of the sixteen heads of the rainy night was still there, and he sat on the throne of the gang leader. In addition to the deficit of tens of thousands of public accounts every year, and the exception of collecting tens of thousands of dollars, he is also willing to take out a few thousand taels of silver to support the thugs, and he has quite a lot of combat power in his hands. Those subordinates did not dare to act rashly for a while, and the two were temporarily deadlocked.
It's just that Shao Fang is not an idle person, he has a great reputation in Danyang, and Jiangnan mentions Shao Daxia, and he is also a good man praised by everyone. Qin Yunjie has always been as famous as him, and said that he is making offerings in the Salt Gang. There are also many dead soldiers under his command. If it drags on any longer, maybe when. The head of the Qin gang leader will fall, and Shao Fang will be forced to be helpless. Take office.
"He was the prime minister and appointed Shao Daxia, which is actually not a secret. Who doesn't know that his phase is obtained by Shao Daxia for him. But so what? He Shao Fang is unwilling to be the worship of the Salt Gang, and he still wants to occupy my Cao Gang? The two gangs of Yancao are all owned by one person, do others still have a way to live? Besides, I am in the position of the helper, and I am still willing to speak for the Cao Gang, and when Shao Fang becomes the helper, then he will only speak for Gao Gong, and as soon as he changes hands, he can sell the foundation of hundreds of years, millions of children. I'm thinking about Cao Bang and finding a way out for my brothers. ”
Qin Yunjie absolutely did not admit that there was anything wrong with his behavior, he had wanted to give it to Gao Gong with the Thirteen Taibao tokens. It's a pity that Gao Gong has no interest in this thing, so he had to throw the token and the entire Cao Gang to Zhang Juzheng.
"As long as you help me pass this level, I will help millions of brothers, and they will all be at the disposal of Zhang Ge. Go in the water, go in the fire. I heard that you have a few smart and clever young masters, let the young masters play with this little token. You can get some money for sugar for the young masters every year, which is also a little bit of the villain's heart. ”
Li Yanqing didn't believe in the loyalty of the Cao Gang, just like Gao Gong never believed in the loyalty of the Cao Gang. These people are always loyal to their own jobs and interests, not to a certain person. If Zhang Juzheng loses power one day, whether this token can eat a share of the money is still between the two.
However, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng are fighting in the dark, and even the distribution of fast guns will make a fuss, so the demolition of Gao Gong's platform is also the proper meaning of the question. What he wants to support is what he wants to oppose. This gang is a good tool right now, and using them can at least disgust this iron-fisted prime minister.
"Gang Leader Qin, sit down and talk. I haven't seen Shao Fang, and I don't know much about him. It's just that the official thinks about it, the leader of the Cao Gang has to be decided by the Cao Gang after all, how can outsiders have the final say? No matter who this outsider is, he should not interfere in the internal affairs of the Cao Gang. ”
Seeing his attitude, Qin Yunjie was overjoyed in his heart, and couldn't help nodding in agreement. Li Yanqing's words changed, "Speaking of which, in fact, it is not easy for this official to interfere in the affairs of the Cao Gang. It's just that there is a small business in Xiangshan County, and it may have to be related to your Cao Gang, and when the time comes, the Qin Gang Leader will have to take care of it. ”
Although he didn't explicitly say who he supported to be the gang leader, he called Qin Yunjie the Qin gang leader, and he wanted to join forces with Qin Yunjie to do business, do you need to talk about other things? Qin Yunjie was overjoyed, and he couldn't stop nodding, even the marketing of Guangdong salt, he also took care of it. Since the implementation of the new salt production method in Xiangshan, the quality and price of Huaibei salt is not a problem, the only problem is transportation, this time with the help of the Cao Gang, Guangdong salt marketing is very convenient.
Now that the two have already discussed the big plan, Qin Yunjie said: "Master Liu, you have to wait for me for three days no matter what." Three days later, I will send you our gift to let you enjoy the scenery in Beijing. (To be continued)
