Chapter 129: Offering the Head
Li Yanqing was a little interested in this sea master, and when he heard himself calling someone to tie him up, he didn't run away or get angry, but he was a character. At least this calm effort has passed. Nodding his head, he said, "Business, what business can you talk to me, let's hear it." ”
"Master, what kind of business our Haisha Sect is doing, you must also know it in your heart. Nowadays, most of the benefits of Xiangshan come from salt and sugar. However, the salt is piled on the beach and cannot be used for money. How much can you get for the salt merchant's support? If there is a villain doing this business, you are guaranteed a large share of it. ”
"Haisha faction, your head Tie Zhanao is dead, and the Haisha faction is also strictly controlled by the imperial court, you still have the ability to do business with me? To do business with me, you must also be able to play the role of a resident in the town, otherwise it will not involve the official to accompany you to lose face? ”
"The old man is wise, but although the Haisha Sect has suffered some setbacks, it has not hurt its vitality. Since the Yuan Dynasty, my Haisha faction has suffered many setbacks, and I don't know how many catastrophes it has gone through, but how many times have I seen the Haisha faction removed from the rivers and lakes? As long as there is private salt in the world, my Haisha Sect will not be destroyed. The only difference is who will be the head. As for the imperial court's strict control, this is not a matter of one or two days, whether there is a White Lotus Sect or not, the Haisha Sect will be eliminated, we have long been used to it. ”
The Haisha faction has always been engaged in private salt, and there are children of the Haisha faction in all parts of the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Shicheng, who competed with Hong Wuye for the world back then, was also from the Haisha faction. After the dynasty was established, it also vigorously cleaned up this old enemy, but the vitality of this Haisha faction was extremely vigorous, and it was repeatedly suppressed, but it spread out and blossomed everywhere.
However, the Haisha faction is only a general term, and the forces of the Haisha faction in various places are different, and they do not belong to each other. Among them, the two Huaiyan Gang are the strongest and have the most people. Many of the sons and daughters of the famous and decent families also served in the Haisha Sect, and they were very famous in the Lianghuai area, and it was said that even the White Lotus Sect did not dare to separate from the Salt Gang. It's just that this majesty is limited to Lianghuai, and if you go to other salt areas, this order is not very useful.
The strength of the Haisha faction in Guangdong was slightly inferior, and the former attacked Xiangshan County, suffering heavy casualties. However, the private salt is profitable, attracting enough outlaws to follow one after another, and the salt gang has never worried about lack of manpower. The revival of the Haisha Sect is also more convenient than that of other sects.
Li Yanqing asked the reason and asked: "You, a smuggler of salt, have great powers, and the government has no good way to think about you." It's just that I ask you, what are the benefits of you cooperating with me? ”
"Master Shengming. If Guangdong is salted by the government, it can only be transported to the designated salt area, that is, no matter how good your salt is, the impact is limited, and it is not as profitable as Huaibei salt. But my sea sand sends goods all over the world, all over the world, and there is nowhere to go. If you hand over the salt to me, I promise that it won't take too long to beat the Huaibei salt, which dominates the world. When the time comes, our salt will be marketed all over the world, which means that we will hold a golden rooster that can only lay golden eggs, are we afraid that we will have no money to use? ”
"Your idea is not bad, if you can market Guangdong's new salt to the world, it is indeed a good thing. But are you sure? Don't let your stall not be opened at that time, but someone else will occupy the territory, then the gain will outweigh the loss. ”
"This is where the master is to be invited. The strength of the Guangdong Haisha faction is now greatly damaged, but it is still slightly stronger than the local gangs. As long as the old man is willing to let us do the salt patrol, I will ensure that the foreign smuggling salt dealers we fight cry for their fathers and mothers, and they don't want to smuggle out a couple of illicit salt. You also know that the salt patrol of the imperial court now wears the same pants as us at all. If you want to abstain from private salt, you have to use us. ”
In terms of strength, the strength of the Guangdong Haisha faction has been greatly damaged, and its prestige is not as good as before. There are already some outsiders in the rivers and lakes who want to get involved in the salt road in Guangdong and embezzle this foundation. In the struggle for territory, what I am afraid of is never the opponent's martial arts, but only the intervention of the government. After all, two groups of Jianghu people are fighting against each other, and whoever the government helps will definitely win.
In terms of strength, most of the current Haisha faction wants to deal with foreign figures, but if they become salt patrols and have official bodies, it means that no matter how strong the foreign masters are, they will not be enough for them to fight.
Li Yanqing said: "What good is it for this official to do this?" ”
"As long as Hai is in charge for one day, Master Li is the first-class worship of the door, taking a piece of silver in the door every month, and dividends at the end of the year, and taking filial piety every three months, promising not to break his promise. If I break this oath, let me pierce my heart with ten thousand arrows, and I will not die well. ”
"Then Hai Tianyang can also be regarded as dying at my hands, why don't you want to avenge your uncle, cut off my head, and give your uncle a blood sacrifice?"
Hai Kuotian laughed: "Master, your old man is laughing." My uncle didn't know the righteousness and brought about his own destruction, who can blame him? Besides, a few of those who eat Jianghu rice have a good end. If he can't get an official position, he will die sooner or later, and it is reasonable for him to die. If this kind of thing is to take revenge, I am afraid that there will be no living people in this river and lake. ”
"Your Haisha faction is a thief ordered by Wu Shuai to exterminate, and you are doing business such as illegal salt, if I do what you always worship in your Haisha faction, don't you look for death?"
"That's not right. The worship of this door is all over Guangdong, and the heads, secretaries, masters, and even county lieutenants, county officials, and master bookkeepers of dozens of prefectures and counties are all worshiped by this sect. Our kind of business, like Sister Hong's business, would not have been able to do it that day without the care of a good friend in the government. Wu Dashuai also has his own door to serve, otherwise, how can he get the news of your promotion so quickly? You can rest assured, being the worship of my Haisha faction will only make Wu Shuai happy, and will not make Wu Shuai angry. ”
That's a good point. However, when the official went to see your sister Hong, he also had to submit a letter of submission. When you come to vote for this official, are you just asking for peace with your bare hands? ”
"Naturally, I also brought a certificate of nomination, and I would like to ask you to take a look." I saw that he untied an oilcloth package behind him, put it on the ground and opened it carefully, but inside the bag was a grade made of lime nitrate, with angry eyebrows and a very heroic appearance.
Li Yanqing said: "What is this head?" ”
"In the official document of sea fishing, the salt lord of the Haisha faction is rewarded, and the white lotus rebel thief is in charge. In addition, the thirty-seven members of the Tie family have all been killed, and it is guaranteed that no descendants of the Tie family will come out to seek revenge from the eldest master. I don't know this sincerity, does the old man think it is enough or not? ”
"Well done. Tie Zhanao's head, Wu Shuai, opened a reward, rewarded 1,300 taels of silver, and acquired his grade. Congratulations to friends Hai, this time he has made a great contribution, not only a fortune, but also a great contribution in front of Wu Shuai. ”
Hai Kuotian hugged his fist, "The thief Tie Zhanao is enough for the white lotus, and he conspires to rebel." After the defeat, he didn't want to repent, but he still wanted to assassinate the old man, but he was killed by the master's subordinates. ”
