Chapter 58: Smuggling
After looking at the figures of Xu Hongtu and more than 100 cavalry forbidden soldiers completely disappeared, Zhou Chen muttered and said, "The forbidden soldiers are gone, it's time for us to do something serious!" ”
Immediately, Zhou Chen took the others and turned around and returned to the inner hall.
Remove the leftovers from the table and replace them with a pot of tea that had been brewed close to you, and a maid poured a cup of hot tea in front of everyone present.
Zhou Chen sat on the main seat, he took a sip of tea, and said slowly: "None of you here are outsiders, now let's talk about how this mutual market should be opened!"
Before that, I would like to make a guarantee to you, as long as this mutual market is effective, I can guarantee you a bright future!
Okay, now you can speak your mind! ”
After Zhou Chen's words fell, the expressions on the faces of everyone present became more solemn and solemn.
It's just that these people looked at each other a few times, but none of them took the lead to speak.
The time that was silent for a few breaths in the field passed, and finally Tie Shaotang, the commander of the Right Yulin Guard, who was second only to Zhou Chen in the field, stood up.
He first arched his hand towards Zhou Chen, and then said in a thick voice: "Lord Supervisor, the last general is a rough man, if you want the last general to come up with any ideas, then you are really embarrassed by the last general."
What the last general can only guarantee is that as long as you need it, the last general will be able to draw out 1,200 elite right jade forest guards from a thousand households at any time and anywhere to obey your dispatch.
If the last general is given time to prepare, then the last general will be able to draw out one and a half thousand households.
As for the number of troops, then the general is powerless, after all, you also know that the right Yulin guard is responsible for guarding the Shenhekou, where the dangerous pass is, and the defenders must not be missing. ”
Hearing Tie Shaotang's voice in his ears, Zhou Chen also nodded knowingly.
Long before taking office, Zhou Chen had a detailed understanding of the basic situation of Youyu Linwei and Youyu County.
What Tie Shaotang said just now is completely true, and it can be said that he is very dedicated.
In Zhou Chen's estimation, without affecting the stability of Shenhekou, You Yulinwei was able to transfer two thousand households for his deployment, which was already full support.
Unexpectedly, Tie Shaotang was able to squeeze out more than 500 people from half a thousand households at the moment, which can be said to be unremittingly supporting Zhou Chen to establish a mutual market.
In this regard, Zhou Chen couldn't help but have a lot of good feelings in his heart, he nodded to Tie Shaotang kindly, and said with a smile: "Then the official will thank General Tie for his strong support."
Please also rest assured that this official is not the kind of person who does not know the seriousness.
Although His Majesty ordered the official to control the Right Yulin Guard, the official did not know about military affairs, so the official would never point fingers at the daily operation of the Right Yulin Guard.
Even if this official will transfer the right Yulin guard to establish a guardian market, this official will definitely not affect the safety of the border fortress. ”
The iron commander of the people threw him into the peach, and Zhou Chen repaid him with Li, and he directly made a promise to Tie Shaotang that he would basically not interfere with the command of the right Yulin guard.
And this happened to be in the arms of Tie Shaotang, which made a strong look of joy appear on his face.
"What the Warden said is true?!"
After exclaiming, Tie Shaotang instantly secretly said badly, he was afraid that Zhou Chen had misunderstood something, so he hurriedly opened his mouth again to make up for it: "Please forgive me, Lord Prison Army, the last general is just in a momentary hurry, not intentionally ......."
But Tie Shaotang was spitting for a long time, and he really didn't know how to continue.
Tie Shaotang is not greedy for military power, but because looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there are countless cases of the incompetence of the prison army and the soldiers.
Among them, the most significant impact is that the eunuch Wang Zhen interfered in the military during the Yingzong period, which eventually led to the tragic change of Tumubao, and even made the entire Ming Dynasty's noble military attache group completely lonely because of this.
Tie Shaotang was also worried that Zhou Chen was the kind of supervisor who didn't understand military affairs and had to blindly command to show his power, so he explained all the situation openly and honestly as soon as possible, and very sincerely let Zhou Chen make his own choice.
It's just that what Tie Shaotang didn't expect was that Zhou Chen gave him such a promise very clearly.
This made his heart a little unable to react in a short time, so that he almost said the wrong thing.
Fortunately, Zhou Chen didn't care much about this, he chuckled and raised his hand to press down, and said loudly: "What General Tie meant, this official understands."
Don't worry, General Tie, you sit down first! ”
As a pure martial artist, Tie Shaotang, his originally dark complexion couldn't help but flush with a touch of ruddy, and after a long time, he finally just held back the wisdom of an adult, and then honestly sat back down.
Immediately, Zhou Chen couldn't help but turn his gaze to the others.
To be precise, it should be Su Tong and Wang Yan, the two local snakes, as well as Chen Yun and Xu Yan, the two Jinyi Wei Baihu who are good at intelligence.
I only heard Zhou Chen's voice and said undoubtedly: "If you have any opinions, let's also speak them together and discuss them!" ”
The four of them glanced at each other, and finally the most deep-rooted snake in the county, Su Tong, stood up and said, "Lord Qiyu, if you plan to meet the Lihu Market in Youyu County, then there is one thing you must solve first. ”
"Oh? Let's take a closer look at what it's all about! ”
Zhou Chen asked out loud with interest.
"Smuggling!"
County Cheng Su Tong spit out two bytes heavily and said.
"Su Xiancheng is right!"
After the words in Su Tong's mouth fell, Wang Yan, the chief bookkeeper, also solemnly echoed: "My lord, do you have any questions, the reason why our Youyu County is more prosperous than ordinary border counties is that there are many caravans smuggling through here.
Some simply set up a branch rudder directly in this Youyu county town to carry out smuggling with the Tatar Warat Mongols in the grasslands outside the Guanwai. ”
Su Tong and Wang Yan, the two local snakes, said a word, and gradually told Zhou Chen about the smugglers in Youyu County.
In fact, Su Tong and Wang Yan, as the officials of the Youyu County Ya, are definitely involved in the two of them.
It's just that at the moment, Zhou Chen is the right Yulin guard of the prison army, and he is also mobilizing the Jinyi guard, as if it shows that the mutual market must be established.
Therefore, Su Tong and Wang Yan chose to break the wrist of a strong man, and directly revealed all the inside stories of these smuggling to Zhou Chen.
