Shen Youlong and Zhao Wenji's faces changed greatly, because what Li Zhaoji said was the truth, an indisputable fact.

Now Shen Youlong can still rely on his authority and prestige to confront Li Zhaoji, and the next governor, his arrival will face the military threat of the Oriental Trading Company and the political pressure of the Guangdong gentry. Under the double intimidation, it seems not so inconceivable to hand over Guangdong, an area that could not create fiscal and tax resources for the imperial court in the first place, but affected the security of Guangdong, to Li Zhaoji.

Moreover, Li Zhaoji doesn't need to do anything, just hide out.

Let the pirates be poked out by the news that Lin Cha, the provincial general soldier, was arrested, and with Emperor Chongzhen's mean and unkind temperament and the ruthlessness of 'all Wenchen can be killed', Shen Youlong was sentenced to prison for questioning, and at worst beheaded and abandoned the city.

Then Li Zhaoji waited for the next governor to send Yuehai to the door.

"Yes, maybe the next governor will directly lead Zheng Zhilong into Guangdong." Shen Youlong's heavy wheezing voice, full of threat, said.

Li Zhaoji smiled and nodded: "Well, it's very possible, but you can't see it." ”

"Then we'll see who can have the last laugh." Shen Youlong got up and casually threw the milk tea in the cup to the ground.

Zhao Wenji grabbed Shen Youlong's hand and didn't let him go, he scooped a cup of milk tea for Shen Youlong again, and said: "Dong Weng, Shopkeeper Li is just stating his interests to you, where do you really want to get along with you?" ”

A cup of milk tea was handed to Shen Youlong, and he said in Shen Youlong's ear: "I really want to tear your face and harm you, why did you ask Tang Mu to send 200,000 taels of silver into South Park?" He Li Zhaoji can run, and the 200,000 taels of silver can run?

Furthermore, if he had made up his mind to send the sheep into the mouth of the tiger, if he had known the news and had discerned the benefits? ”

When Shen Youlong heard this, his iron-blue face gradually turned bloody, and he looked at Li Zhaoji's smug face, and he understood that Zhao Wenji was telling the truth. This guy just wants to scare and scare himself, and he is angry with himself.

Li Zhaoji is a person who must be avenged, that is, to avenge the last Hongmen banquet.

Shen Youlong turned around and sat down, picked up the milk tea, tasted it, and said, "The first cup of milk tea in this autumn is really mellow." ”

Li Zhaoji smiled and said, "Pretend to be calm, you are drinking Mr. Zhao's tea." ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, sir." Shen Youlong hurriedly put it down, his face embarrassed.

Zhao Wenji held his hand: "Dong Weng, this cup is yours, don't listen to Shopkeeper Li's nonsense, he is deliberately teasing you." ”

Shen Youlong looked at the cup, his milk tea emitted heat, it was freshly served, and Zhao Wenji drank half of the cup, and it was already cold. It's just that in a panic, he didn't realize it, but Shen Youlong realized that his heart was still in chaos.

Zhao Wenji said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Li, Ming people don't say secret words. If you really want to see that the Governor is in a catastrophe, just spread the news of Lin Cha's arrest, and then hide in Tamsui to watch the excitement, why bother to come to find an opportunity to meet again, and deliberately find Dong Weng to be happy? You're not that boring, are you?

Don't make Dong Weng angry again, what good plan do you have, come quickly, and what conditions are there, just say it.

Today, let's be open and honest, whether we succeed or not, it won't hurt the harmony, how about it? ”

Li Zhaoji nodded slightly, Zhao Wenji took a little silver tael from his body, and said, "Songbao, go to the old man who is herding the sheep, ask him to kill a sheep, and get some soil to burn." Today in this field, there is no covering, there is no hiding, open and honest, talking and eating. ”

Li Zhaoji smiled even more, and said in his heart that although Zhao Wenji is a scholar, he has a free and easy temperament, and he has a good impression of him.

In order to soothe the relationship between the two, waiting for the fresh mutton to be brought, Zhao Wenji personally cut the meat, and while cleaning up the mutton, he said: "Shopkeeper Li, speaking of which, you have only been in Guangdong Province for a year and a half.

Speaking of which, time is more precious to you. You just said that you can make a profit by going to Tamsui to hide for a few months of leisure, but this is not entirely true. Dong Weng is the governor, Lin Cha was arrested for the matter of being held accountable, from the capital to Guangzhou, back and forth, and when the new governor arrived, less than three or four months, more than half a year has passed.

You have such a foundation in a year and a half, and you lost half a year inexplicably, isn't it a big loss? ”

Hearing this, Li Zhaoji looked at Zhao Wenji and his eyes changed, because Zhao Wenji was in the same sentence. The reason why Li Zhaoji chose to continue to deal with the difficult Shen Youlong, instead of taking the opportunity to remove him, was because of the tight time.

It is already October of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, and Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has less than half a year to live. Dashun and Daming hit the dog's brain, and Li Zhaoji didn't take it to heart.

One is the short-sighted and limited peasant uprising regime, and the other is the decadent and degenerate feudal dynasty, which is destroyed and which is prosperous, that is, the general dynastic change in Chinese history.

But it was the Manchu Qing Dynasty that entered the customs and seized China, which was difficult for Li Zhaoji to accept. Even though Li Zhaoji felt that he could expel the Tartars and restore China in the future.

But this land of Shenzhou was ruled by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, just like the yellow flower girl was raped, she killed the adulterer, and the thorn in her heart couldn't be pulled out.

But how can this kind of thing be said to the two people in front of you?

"Mr. Zhao, let's come on, you are used to using the pen, and the knife is not good." Li Zhaoji took the knife in Zhao Wenhe's hand, and burned the thin slices of mutton that were still exuding heat in the tumbling soup pot, which was fragrant.

Zhao Wenji let go of the knife, warmed up the wine, and said: "This Lin Cha has been arrested, how can this matter be covered up, do you have a charter in your heart?" ”

Li Zhaoji said: "It's simple, just let Lin Cha die on the battlefield." ”

"Died on the battlefield, how do you say?" Shen Youlong saw that Li Zhaoji was telling the truth, and he also became serious.

Li Zhaoji said: "This Lin Cha hid from you and set up a Hongmen banquet to kill the four surnames, but he was captured by someone. The general army of a province, even if you act privately, you are also guilty of the crime. Thankfully, the pirates did not make the news public.

So, let's act immediately, launch an attack on the pirates as soon as possible, and ignite the fire of war first.

So what will happen if the pirates spread the news again? It was no longer Lin Cha who was captured by mistake, but in the process of fighting, he was trapped in the enemy formation.

Of course, we can also use some tricks, let's just say that Lin Cha commanded the battle on the front line, and what general soldiers were captured are all rumors. ”

Zhao Wenji high-fived and praised: "Okay, this method is good." In this way, Lin Cha's stupidity and stupidity turned into loyalty and bravery. The Governor's misconduct can also turn into the cunning of pirates. ”

Shen Youlong nodded slightly, and after such an operation, it was easy to explain.

Li Zhaoji waved his hand: "The key is that the four pirates must be exterminated immediately."

When the time comes, whether Lin Cha is alive or dead, we will send a living but injured Lin Cha back to Guangzhou, and then in a few days, let him die of his injuries that are difficult to treat.

Then, Lin Cha did not die in front of the battle, but after the war. The sin of the general's death will be eliminated invisibly, and there will be an explanation to the court. And we have already suppressed the four surnames, which can be regarded as revenge for Lin Cha, and we also have an explanation for the Guangdong region, especially the officers of the guard. ”

Shen Youlong's eyes widened, he never expected that it was originally a dead end, and being manipulated by Li Zhaoji like this would not only not die, but would be a great achievement, not only a great achievement, but also a double victory, not only to suppress the pirates, but also to take the opportunity to rectify the Guangdong military.

"Shopkeeper Li, you really have a great talent." Shen Youlong couldn't help but praise and said, but he regretted it in his heart, if he hadn't been so forward-looking and bold to use this Li Zhaoji, where would it have come to this point?

But after thinking about it, the smile that appeared on Shen Youlong's face disappeared again, the reason is very simple, Li Zhaoji is a person, not only will he be rewarded, but he can't afford to make a profit, he has such an idea, there must be conditions, and more importantly, this idea cannot be stolen, because the key is not the idea, but the destruction of the four pirates in a short time.

Lin Cha was trapped in the enemy formation, the regimental training had not yet been rectified, and the strength of the Francophone was weak, and the only one who could rely on was Li Zhaoji in front of him.

If you have what you want, you should naturally give people enough reward. Shen Youlong was helpless and gave Zhao Wenji a look.

Zhao Wenji understood Shen Youlong's concerns, and said with a smile: "The disaster of these four surnames has been for many years, entrenched in Guangdong and has been chaotic for a long time. The gentry and merchants of Guangdong all hated it. But pirates, did not appear out of thin air, today the four surnames are suppressed, if you do not manage the Guangdong Sea well, soon there will be pirates in chaos, entrenched in the Pearl River estuary.

Therefore, the suppression of thieves is only the beginning, and how to reconstruct the order of Guangdong is the real big thing.

Shopkeeper Li, these two things are inseparable from you now. ”

"Mr. Zhao is polite and praised." Lee responded with a smile.

Zhao Wenji waved his hand and said deliberately: "In Dongfandi, the students saw the shopkeeper Li conquering the barbarians with their own eyes, and his use of soldiers, his armor, and his battle formation can be described as a temporary choice. Coupled with the fact that this ship is strong and the four surnames are exterminated, the students think that it is not worth mentioning for Shopkeeper Li.

Speaking of which, the key is the future order of Guangdong, Dong Weng, or the shopkeeper Li praises it a lot. ”

Zhao Wenji saw that Li Zhaoji didn't want to take the initiative to put forward conditions, so he persuaded Shen Youlong to make a statement first. When he thought about it, it was Shen Youlong who was begging Li Zhaoji now, so naturally he couldn't hide it.

Shen Youlong is well versed in the key to negotiation, that is, he must grasp the initiative, and he must always hide his hole cards, but the problem is that now he does not have this qualification, so he can only tell the truth: "When he was in Nanyuan, Chen Zizhuang discussed with the old man about the elimination of the four surnames.

The four surnames were exterminated, and the pirate attacks that had plagued the people of Guangdong Province for many years were lifted, and it was convenient to do business with foreign countries in the future. Chen Zizhuang proposed that a customs office could be set up at the mouth of the Pearl River to control the trade in and out of Guangdong Province. However, the customs office was established to allow maritime merchants to pay taxes.

However, most of those who go abroad have official gentry backgrounds, and those who enter Guangdong are also difficult people, so it requires the concerted efforts of Wang Shi, Tuanlian and your society to practice the customs system. ”

"I'm afraid that this offending work will fall on the lower head." Lee Siu Kee said.

Shen Youlong nodded slightly: "Only you can deter Xiaoxiao and suppress those flies and dogs." ”

Li Zhaoji said: "I am a businessman, as long as there are enough interests, I am not afraid of offending, dare to ask the Governor, I will take care of the home for you, and I will also collect protection money, I can get it." ”

Shen Youlong said: "You can hand over Macao to control, and you can arrange for the shopkeeper to participate in the customs, and the annual tax can be divided into 40% for you to raise soldiers." The remaining 60 percent was given to the Guangdong regiment for training and army expansion. And after the extermination of the pirates, at the appropriate time, your society, Wang Shi and Tuanlian should be combined into one army, go north to serve the imperial court, and take the thieves and prisoners. ”

"Patrol the boat, anti-smuggling, will I do it with the sailor regiment?" Li Zhaoji asked.

Shen Youlong waved his hand: "At present, the regimental training is to suppress the thieves, so the water division is the most important, and after the four surnames are exterminated, the Guangdong regimental training is the responsibility of the thieves and the captives, and naturally the expansion of the land division is the top, and the water division is only responsible for transportation, but it is reduced." Therefore, the anti-smuggling and bomb suppression matters are mainly entrusted to you, and the water villages in Guangdong will cooperate. ”

Li Zhaoji laughed: "Isn't this all handed over to me?" To transport land divisions to the north, big ships are used, and how can big ships be smuggled? The cooperation of the water villages in various places is not worth mentioning, and even the group training has to be transformed into the imperial captives, and the food and salary of the water villages in various places have not been used by you for military expenses?

In this way, I will do the thing, but there is not even half of the benefit, and I will be put in Macau to go against the Franco, a good idea for the Governor. ”
