Chapter 616: Interests
"The two marquis should know that the outside world has a bad opinion of me Song Nan, and it is rumored that I Song Nan does not learn and has no skills, how I don't follow the rules, how I am spoiled, etc., to be honest, Song really doesn't care at all. As the old saying goes: Not being jealous is a mediocre talent, and what kind of psychology people talk about Song have behind their backs, Song knows in his heart. As far as I am concerned, I only need to stick to a bottom line for others, that is: I will treat those who treat me sincerely, and those who pretend to treat me will also be perfunctory, and if someone wants to do something to me and put me to death, I will also pay back twice. Although Song Nan's voice was soft, his words were clear.
"Lord Song, the two of us are sincere, and we don't have a trace of falsehood." Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu were busy.
Song Nan smiled and said: "I didn't say that you were hypocritical, I just clarified my thoughts, so as to teach you to understand what kind of person I Song Nan is." The two marquis don't have to be like this, as if Song is a man-eating devil. To tell the truth, Song had no hostility at all at first for the Hou Ye of the regimental camp, and everyone was loyal to the emperor and led the troops to protect the country for the imperial court, but now, Song is indeed very dissatisfied with the Hou Ye of the regimental camp. β
Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu listened quietly, this was Song Nan's final willingness to directly express his views on the regimental camp marquis, from which we can know Song Nan's attitude towards the regimental camp marquis in the future.
"When I was developing the white paper mill before, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce of the Hou Ye accused the merchants of Beijing not to buy the houses I built, which I can understand as a dispute over private interests, after all, everyone wants to make money, everyone wants to make a lot of money, and I am not so dissatisfied with them because of this matter."
"What I am dissatisfied with is the attitude of the Hou Ye towards the little grandfather; After the death of the old man, the little grandfather took the position of the prince of the country and acted as the governor of the regimental battalion; It is true that the little grandfather is indeed not enough in terms of ability and qualifications, but as the old man's former subordinates, the Hou Ye should be more inclusive and supportive, which is the attitude of unity. But in fact, not only did the Hou Ye not support him, but some people deliberately made it difficult to disobey the order, and even colluded with outsiders to persecute the little grandfather, which made me have great doubts about the Hou Ye's character. When the old man was alive, he was extremely protective of the interests of the marquis, when I exterminated Liu Liu and Liu Qifeng marquises, the emperor promised to let me enter the regimental camp and the first battalion of the commander, but the old man resolutely turned me away for the overall benefit of the marquis; And now, after his old man passed away, the marquis treated his grandson like this, is this still human? All I can say is that these mercenary and moral people don't deserve to be in that position. β
Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu were red-faced, they had also participated in those things, Song Nan's words were merciless, they were like a leather whip on their faces, and their faces were hot and feverish.
"It is an inappropriate analogy to use an inappropriate analogy, just as the master of a large family dies, and the servants below rise up to rebel and force the young master to run away from home, which is a despicable act, or not just a disdainful heart, but a shameless act."
"Don't say it, Marquis Song, we know it's not right; In fact, the two of us also followed the crowd in this matter; They were all bewitched by the two old things, Qian Taichang and Meng Zi'an, who said that the little grandfather was not qualified and wanted to make one of us the governor of the regimental camp......"
Song Nan sneered: "I'm not here to count the faults of the two of you, and you don't have to defend yourself." I just have one thing to say, if there is any offense, the two of you will bear with me. If you don't want to listen, the door is there, and the two of you can do it yourself, and I won't blame the two marquis. β
"That's not what it means, Marquis Song continued." Gao Hu said in a low voice.
Song Nan sighed and continued: "What you think is indeed perfect, but you have forgotten that the position of the governor of the regiment and battalion is not so easy to be your turn, the little grandfather is incompetent, is the Hou master competent?" I know you have such thoughts, so after a long talk with the little grandfather, he asked him to resign from his position, which is a huge sacrifice, even the Ming military attachΓ©, the governor of the 12th regiment and battalion is a position that many people dream of, but the little grandfather gave up abruptly, I have to say, the little grandfather impressed me at this point. If it were me, or anyone else, I would be able to make such a decision, I'm afraid it's hard to guarantee. β
"Yes, the sudden resignation of the little grandfather surprised us; They had planned to collectively play impeachment after a while, but they did not expect such an outcome. Jiao Zhengtai smacked his lips.
Song Nan sneered: "That's natural, if you take the initiative, how can Song tolerate it; Therefore, the little grandfather resigned, and Dingguo became the governor, these two points are afraid that the marquis will be overwhelmed. β
Gao Hu said in a cloudy voice: "Can the Marquis of Song tell me why you would recommend Dingguo Gong to take this position?" As far as I know, you don't have such a good relationship with Dingguo Gong. β
Song Nan smiled and said: "It's not just that I don't have a relationship, I am annoyed when I see him, and he is not happy to see me, Gao Hou can clearly say this." β
Gao Hu smiled and said, "Then why did Marquis Song recommend him?" β
Song Nan said: "Because I want to watch the play, who is Dingguo Gong?" Although he is a high lord, he is in command of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies; The most noble army of my Ming Dynasty is Jingying, my old man is alive, and he has not let Xu Guangzuo get involved in it for decades, this time the big hat of the governor of a regiment and battalion fell on his head, and he must desperately catch it. After he takes charge of the Beijing camp, he will definitely find a way to insert his cronies from the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies one by one, and finally replace you. I recommend Xu Guangzuo to sit on that red-hot throne, and hang a pot of hot oil on your heads, killing two birds with one stone, why not? β
Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu looked at Song Nan with their mouths open, and felt a trace of cruelty from the smile on the corner of Song Nan's mouth, especially the way Song Nan said this matter without taboo was even more unacceptable, Song Nan seemed to be showing off, and seemed to be laughing.
In any case, Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu had to admit that Song Nan was clever, and if he did this, Xu Guangzuo and the Hou Ye would have a lot of trouble between them, and Song Nan didn't have to spend any effort to sit and watch the play; When things get to a certain point, will the outer court ignore it? Will Song Nan not play? Then there is almost no need to think about it, Xu Guangzuo will be impeached and removed, and the Hou masters will also be unlucky, Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu dare not imagine what the situation will be.
"Marquis Song's strategy is really ...... Is...... Foresight. Gao Hu rolled his eyes and muttered.
Song Nan laughed and said: "You directly call me insidious, I don't care if others say I'm insidious, all clever strategies are insidious, you have to admit it." β
"Yes, it is clever. In fact, Marquis Song's strategy has worked, a few days ago, Xu Guangzuo transferred a lord from the Governor's Mansion of the Loyal Army into the training camp, and directly gave him a position of Tongzhi, which has made Zheng Hong, the commander of the training camp, extremely dissatisfied, and the regimental meeting the day before yesterday had openly twisted his neck with Xu Guangzuo; It seems that the show is indeed going to be staged. Gao Hu shook his head.
Song Nan knew that these two people must be in a mess and at a loss now; The impact of these words on them was too great, and they couldn't digest and accept it for a while; At this time, I need to give them some comfort, in fact, Song Nan has already decided to accept their kindness, if these two people can really be co-opted by themselves, it will be of great benefit to themselves, these are the two regimental commanders, the two marquis.
"Two marquis, you have a heart-to-heart with me, and I also have a heart-to-heart with you, you see, I told you all my most secret things, these things are my henchmen, and few people know. The reason why I did this is because I was moved by the attitude of the two of them, and I don't want you to be in the dark and participate in the fight between them, which will be detrimental to the two marquis. β
Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu nodded again and again: "Thank you for reminding Hou Ye Song, if Hou Ye Song doesn't say it, I'm afraid that the two of us will really fall into it." β
Song Nan said with a smile: "Of course, the two of you can also inform the other Hou Ye and Dingguo Gong about this matter, maybe they will give you greater benefits, and Xu Guangzuo may be more important to the two of you." β
Jiao Zhengtai hurriedly said: "What is this called, if I run to tell the informant, I will hit five thunderstorms every day and teach me that Jiao Zhengtai must not die well." β
Gao Hu rolled his eyes, and had to swear a poisonous oath, Song Nan said: "No need to do this, I'm just joking." As I said, I am generous to my friends, so in addition to suing you about this, I would like to announce something that is beneficial to you. β
"Ah, Marquis Song, please speak." Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu were already a little stupid today, they were a little dizzy from Song Nan's repeated blows, and they unconsciously became a little follower under Song Nan's control, rolling their eyes and raising their heads to be a little white.
"I know that you covet the benefits of the White Paper Mill, indeed, the profits are unimaginable to me. Good business to share, so I decided to invite the two Hou Ye to join the shares, the two can share the benefits of the development of the white paper workshop, I wonder if the two Hou Ye are willing to join? β
"Huh?" Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu were dizzy by the big golden doll that fell from the sky, and Song Nan actually allowed them to invest in dividends, which was the biggest gain today; They privately calculated for Song Nan, after the development of the white paper workshop, Song Nan's income will be as high as more than seven million taels, which is simply an astronomical amount, if they can get a piece of the pie, it is also a huge amount, Song Nan will be willing to share, this is unimaginable.
"I do."
The two marquis stood up reverently like two newlywed couples before the priest, their eyes shining with happiness.
Song Nan smiled, as soon as this 'I do' came out, it represented the complete differentiation of the marquis of the regimental camp, in the face of interests, friendship, affection, and righteousness were all nonsense; Jiao Zhengtai and Gao Hu would become loyal lackeys under their knees, as long as there was fat to feed them.
