The Matsue Army is in need of money now!

On paper, the Songjiang government is still very wealthy. ○ Not to mention the wealth plundered by the war since Chen Wu started, Songjiang County's own financial revenue is an astonishing amount. However, with the reorganization of the Songjiang Army and the beginning of administrative reform, the Songjiang Army began to spend money at a flowing rate.

Bearing the food and pension of the Tiannan Army is an astonishing expense. After that, money was needed for the comprehensive expansion of the armed forces, money for the establishment of military academies, money for vigorously promoting education, and the expansion of the spy network of the Military Intelligence Service...... Not to mention the revitalization of the economy of Tiannan County, a huge amount of capital investment is required!

All aspects, even if it is just an upfront investment, require hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of gold coins at every turn.

Even if Songjiang County was one of the wealthiest states and counties in the entire empire, it could not withstand this kind of flowering. According to Yuan Xingwei's preliminary statistics, in the next year, if Songjiang County fully implements various plans, there will be a funding gap of at least two million gold coins. In addition to opening up sources and reducing expenditure as much as possible, if there is an additional gray income......

Several top chambers of commerce in the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance, although they are not as rich as the eight major lords of the country, are also the first-class local forces in the game. Eat the next one, and the Songjiang government's funding gap is basically enough.

If it's just done once in a while, as long as the operation is good, you should be able to afford it.

For the dual purpose of suppressing local forces in Dengzhou and making up for government spending, Chen Wu agreed to Yuan Xingwei's proposal after careful consideration. Of course, Chen Wu was well aware of the pros and cons of this kind of method that players had used many times in the game, so he decided to operate it himself.

He has self-confidence. Even if Yuan Xingwei is Qian Boming's staff. Similar planning has been done more than once in Taiping County. In this regard, they are not as good as themselves in terms of experience and means.

………

On the afternoon of the second day after the decision was made, two brigades of cavalry returned to Dengzhou with a large number of prisoners. Under Chen Wu's orders, they did not enter the city, but temporarily stayed in a clearing seven or eight miles outside the city—a place that Ning An had carefully selected to be used as a cavalry horse farm, but only now preparations for construction had just begun.

The master torturer of the MIA secretly arrived here and began to torture these Sea Dragons overnight.

Framing opponents is also a science. It's not like just finding a reason to force it up. Without careful planning, or even nine points of truth and one point of falsehood, it is difficult to deceive the eyes of the world. Chen Wu's order to these MI torturers was: to use all the means to uncover all the crimes and secrets committed by the Sea Dragon Regiment.

For this reason, it doesn't matter if you kill a few prisoners.

With such an order, the group of torturers carefully recruited by the Military Intelligence Service can go unpunished. This group of pirate captives of the Sea Dragon Regiment, after all, not everyone is a tough guy. After a night of wailing, more than a dozen people spoke one after another, confessing the secrets they knew.

After cross-examination, mutual verification. A detailed criminal record of the Sea Dragon Regiment appeared on Chen Wu's desk.

This well-known Haikou organization has not been established for a short time. But the first big crime that was actually committed was five years ago. attacked Shazhou Mansion in Ninghai County, killed thirteen people in one go, and robbed property worth 20,000 or 30,000 gold coins. Since then, there have been more than a dozen cases, large and small.

Not to mention those petty fights and even personal robberies.

As the torture continued, more detailed processes and covert incidents were unearthed. Especially as the third child of the Sea Dragon Regiment who was captured alive couldn't stand the punishment and spit, the secrets of the entire Sea Dragon Regiment were almost exposed to the military intelligence department.

After seeing the Sea Dragon Regiment's experience in an operation three years ago, Chen Wu took the case and found an excellent entry point.

Hongwen Chamber of Commerce!

Its president is Yue Hongwen, an important force in the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and has mastered more than 30% of Songjiang cotton cloth shipments. If it is at any cost, it can even shake the entire empire's cotton market in a short period of time. But what no one knows is that three years ago, the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce only mastered two and a half percent of the shipments, and Yue Hongwen had a strong opponent.

That is now the second largest chamber of commerce in the Songjiang cotton industry - the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce.

At that time, the power of the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce and the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce was about the same. The two chambers of commerce joined hands to control more than half of the total number of Songjiang cotton shipments, and it can be said that they have complete pricing power. In order to compete for the leading position in the cotton market, the two chambers of commerce are also fighting openly and secretly.

But in the winter of three years ago, when the president of the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce went out of the city to run errands, he was "unfortunately" attacked by a group of thieves and his whereabouts are unknown.

Suddenly, the president of the Chamber of Commerce was lost, and the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce fell into chaos. Hongwen Chamber of Commerce took the opportunity to launch a business war, both soft and hard, not only swallowed up a quarter of the assets of the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce, but also greatly damaged the vitality of the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce, and the source and shipment volume of the goods once fell to the point of only one percent.

Songjiang's cotton market, this is the current pattern!

The whereabouts of the president of the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce are still a mystery in the Dengzhou business district. Due to the fact that he has not seen anyone in life or dead for several years, most of his peers believe that he is dead, but there is no conclusive evidence.

But in the confession of the Hailong Regiment's pirates, the unfortunate encounter of the president of the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce was not an accident at all.

Someone secretly reported to the Haikou of the Sea Dragon Regiment, and hinted to the other party that the president of the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce had a huge amount of money on him, which led to the action of the Haikou of the Sea Dragon Regiment. If no one provided an accurate time and place, how could this gang of pirates, who were mainly active in Ninghai County, run into the whereabouts of the president of the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce outside the city so coincidentally?

As for the person who provided information to the Sea Dragon Regiment, the third child who served as the third-in-command in the Sea Dragon Regiment had also secretly investigated. Although the other party acted very neatly and did not leave any obvious evidence, if you think about it, you can guess that the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce, which directly benefits, has the biggest suspicion.

Otherwise, there is no reason to explain why the president of the Baimian Chamber of Commerce has just disappeared, and the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce immediately launched a business war, obviously because he has been prepared for a long time.

"It's a godsend!"

After reading the explanation of the third child of the Sea Dragon Regiment, the excitement in Chen Wu's heart was indescribable. He was still thinking about how to plant the sputation, but now he didn't have to think about it at all, and the Sea Dragon Regiment itself provided evidence and powerful ammunition. Hongwen Chamber of Commerce has recently jumped very hard in the Dengzhou Chamber of Commerce Alliance, and it has mastered such an important resource as cotton. If it can be taken down, Chen Wu's Songjiang Army can even directly intervene in the cotton cloth market of the entire empire.

In feudal times, this was a more important industry than alcohol.

You can't drink wine, but you can't wear clothes!

Chen Wu is going to launch Hanjingfang liquor, which is still in preparation, and there is still a long way to go from production and promotion to occupy the market. However, the supply and shipping channels mastered by the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce are ready-made, and you can directly get huge profits after taking over!

"I'm going to cut it."

Chen Wu, who had made up his mind, after thinking about the specific execution, ordered someone to bring the third child of the Sea Dragon Regiment and Zhang Shun, who had been beaten and bruised all over their bodies.

The third child of the Sea Dragon Regiment was already frightened by the punishment, and he did not have the anger of the sea coward at all. After barely opening his eyes and seeing the person in front of him clearly, he immediately understood that Chen Wu was the superior who could decide their fate, and asked in a hoarse and awe-inspiring tone, "Are you?" ”

"Governor of Songjiang, Tiannan Recruiting Envoy, Chen Wu!"

Standing in front of the two people who were pressed to the ground by the guards, Chen Wu reported his identity.

"Governor?"

Whether it was the third child or Zhang Shun, who was appointed with his eyes closed and bowed his head, they were all taken aback. Although the third child didn't know why Chen Wu saw him in person, he instinctively felt a glimmer of life, and immediately kowtowed frantically and begged for mercy: "Lord Governor, spare your life, spare your life!" As long as your old man spares the villain's life, being a cow and a horse is a sentence, and the wealth that the villain has looted over the years is also all filial to you! ”

Just looking at his appearance, Chen Wu knew that he didn't need to say anything.

Chen Wu didn't care too much about the other party's private wealth. The pirates are quick to make money, and they are quick to squander. The wealth that is enough for ordinary people to spend ten years may be spent in a year in their hands. Even if you have savings, how much can one person hide? In contrast, taking out the Hongwen Chamber of Commerce is the big one!

"As long as you are obedient, this governor may not be able to give you a chance."

Chen Wu said lightly, without looking at the third child with a look of ecstasy, he ordered someone to take him down first, and then came to Zhang Shun, who had a calm face.

Hearing that there might be a way to live, Zhang Shun's face was obviously happy, but then calmed down. Rushing to this city that could not hold back and beg for mercy, Chen Wu couldn't help but glance at him.

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, not everyone can be so calm.

"I killed fifty-three people of the Shangguan Mansion, and when I left the city, I attacked the defenders of Wushan, killing and wounding fourteen of my soldiers. Committing such a heinous crime, you are not sorry to die! What's more, there are many previous bloody cases! As he spoke, Chen Wu threw the confessions of the other Haikou in front of him with a snap, and asked, "The evidence is conclusive, how do you say that the governor should sentence you?" ”

"It is a capital offense! Escorted to the prison, the autumn queen asked to behead! ”

Zhang Shun didn't blink his eyes, and said his fate flatly. This calmness, as if the person who is going to be beheaded is not himself.

Chen Wudu couldn't help but look sideways a little, and asked, "Knowing that you are going to die, aren't you afraid?" ”

Zhang Shun's face changed, but instead of being afraid, he smiled a little more relaxed, and said, "I was originally afraid, but after seeing the Governor, I was not afraid." ”

After kowtowing respectfully, he straightened up his upper body and said, "From now on, I will be a dog of the Governor." I'll bite whoever you tell me to bite! ”

Chen Wu raised his eyebrows, but he didn't expect Zhang Shun to be a talent. After thinking for a while, he decided to change his original plan slightly, and said to Zhang Shun: "According to the third elder of your Sea Dragon Regiment, three years ago, you sent people to attack the president of the White Cotton Chamber of Commerce? ”

Zhang Shun immediately knew who he should bite. (To be continued.) )
