At this time, Gao Changjiang, a white paper fan, came to report the matter, and saw that Lin Zaikan was interacting with a white and beautiful young woman in the hall, so he didn't bother silently, and just stood silently on the side.

It wasn't until Lin sat in the pavilion and instructed Zhang Wen: "Anyway, there are still many rooms in this courtyard, bring Wu Tian's mother and son down to have a good life, don't slack off!" ”

So far, Lin has not made any specific commitments.

Wu Tian was a little anxious, she followed her husband's instructions and risked exposing her whereabouts to come to take refuge.

Once she entered this door, there was no turning back, and if she didn't get some affirmative answers, how could she be sure-footed?

So he asked again: "What the slave family will do in the future, I hope the big officials will make it clear." ”

Lin Tailai replied: "As long as you obey the arrangement, it is not a problem to keep you safe, and maybe there is still a chance to avenge your Wu family." ”

Wu Tian pleaded: "With the current power of the Zheng family, revenge is no longer daring to think, and I am satisfied with just asking for the safety of my child." ”

Lin Tailai was a little puzzled, this Wu Tian clan didn't seem to be interested in avenging the Wu family, and he didn't mention how his husband was, he only cared about the safety of his son?

But this is all someone else's family matter, Lin Daguan only waved his hand, "Go down first, wait for me to arrange it!" ”

When Wu Tian walked out of the front hall, Gao Changjiang asked Lin Daguan, "What is wrong with the Wu family's children?" ”

Gao Changjiang was more attentive than other club members, and just now noticed the change in his expression when he sat in the hall and looked at the young children.

Lin Tailai sighed: "I am kind to faces, and I see that this son will be unusual in the future." ”

But when you think of Wu Xiang and Wu Sangui, the rotten father and son, you will definitely think of the bad background of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in history.

The gap in national strength is obviously crushed, but in the past few decades, it has become like a bear, and the resource scheduling has completely failed, which eventually leads to all kinds of costumes and hairstyles in the world that are ugly to the eyes.

Lin Daguan may not have a deep love for Daming, and the change of dynasty cannot be avoided under the law of historical cycles, but every time he thinks of changing to a money rat tail, he feels physiologically uncomfortable.

The more he thought about it, the more troublesome he became, Lin Tailai was stunned for a while, and Gao Changjiang called a few times before Lin Tailai came back to his senses.

Lin Daguan sighed again: "I was suddenly touched, the world is so bad, rather than letting others be in trouble, it is better to concentrate resources in my own hands as much as possible and use them by me, do you say that this is better?" ”

Gao Changjiang, who knew the storytelling story well, stared at Wu Tian's distant back, and replied with a pun:

"Probably Cao Mengde also thought so before he became the Duke of Wei and the King of Wei."

Lin Tailai: "."

The day has died, and there is something to burn paper.

After ending the topic that could not be continued, Lin Daguan directly ordered:

"Stop talking nonsense! You go to Lu Junbi and Lu Xiucai, and ask him to help inquire about the details of the Wu family. He has a certain relationship in the salt industry, and he should be able to find out the details of the Wu family! ”

Gao Changjiang was about to take the order and leave, and then he heard the pavilion say: "Go to the Zhenwu Temple again and tell Yu Gongjing, prepare two hundred people to set off to do things!" ”

After Gao Changjiang reacted, he was taken aback: "Do you really want them to try to transport salt?" Shipping back to Suzhou? ”

Lin Tailai nodded and said: "The salt industry is a very professional industry, not to mention the problem of salt introduction, but to say that all aspects of salt collection, salt transportation, and salt sales are also particular.

Since the Wu family, who is more familiar with the salt industry, has led the way this time, our manpower will be familiar with it.

The purpose is not to make money, but to find out all aspects of salt collection, waterway transportation, and sales in Suzhou.

When I come back from the Beijing Normal School exam, I will do something bigger!

Anyway, this time two hundred thugs should be enough to solve the problem outside the official face. ”

Gao Changjiang asked again: "Fighting, killing and killing can only solve the problem of rivers and lakes, but what if you encounter official things along the way?" ”

Lin Daguan is still confident: "Most of the people along the way are in the Jiangnan region, let them play the banner of Lin Xie Yuan first, see what kind of problems they will encounter, and write them down and solve them later."

If Lin Jieyuan's banner is not used, he will play the banner of Suzhou Shenfu!

If the banner of Suzhou Shenfu is not used, the banner of the tax envoy of Hushu Guan will be played!

I don't believe it, on the surface of the Jiangnan River, who dares not to sell the face of the king tax envoy!

However, there is only half a year left in the term of office of the royal tax envoy, so we must hurry up and try the water while the royal tax envoy is still in this half a year. ”

Gao Changjiang saw that Lin was sitting in the hall and was well-thought and well-arranged, and his military advisor had nothing to add, so he could only be disappointed again.

He was about to receive the order to leave, but he heard Lin Zaitguan still instructing, "Quickly gather another two hundred people, prepare for action, and dispatch with me at any time!" ”

Gao Changjiang couldn't help but complain: "How can sitting in the hall be like a soul-raiser, and at the same time, several orders are issued, and I don't have three heads and six arms!" ”

There is also a sentence that I didn't dare to say, just sitting in the hall suddenly seemed to have no time to arrange for the future.

Lin Daguan sighed and said: "I just suddenly felt for a moment just now, time is running out, time is pressing!"

There's so much I want to do and there's not much time to waste here.

Originally, I felt that the time was not ripe at present, but I just wanted to try my hand in Yangzhou City, and go north with a wave of presence.

When I won the fame in Beijing, I would like to seek an official position in Yangzhou, and then I would kill all sides, the salt industry, foreign trade, and smuggling!

But for now, let's go with a big ticket! ”

Gao Changjiang couldn't understand the realm and ideas of sitting in the museum, he could only feel the growing ambition of sitting in the museum.

And he still couldn't understand what was so special about the toddler named Wu Xiang that made him feel like he was greatly stimulated.

After that, Gao Changjiang went to find Lu Junbi, conveyed Lin Zao's request to the museum, and asked Lu Junbi, the head snake, to help find out the details of the Wu family.

Lu Junbi's so-called salt industry relationship is all from Wang Yuanwai's side, and he immediately went to Wang's house.

But Wang Qing and Wang Yuanwai were not at home, but were invited away by Zheng Yuanwai to talk in the proud building outside the Dadong Gate.

As for why Zheng Yuanwai is looking for Wang Yuanwai, of course, it is because of the recent rumors that Wang Yuanwai wants to cooperate with Lin Jieyuan, and the detailed conditions have been passed down in several versions.

Zheng Zhiyan suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart and asked: "You and I are both fellow villagers in Huizhou, and we both eat the bowl of rice in the salt industry, why are we in such a hurry to fry each other?" ”

Wang Yuanwai asked knowingly: "Brother Zheng, where is this?" Brother, why can't I understand? ”

Zheng Zhiyan shouted: "Brother Wang is going to pretend to be confused!" The conditions that Lin Tailai said publicly made me feel tempted! ”

Wang Yuanwai replied helplessly: "If I said that I didn't know Lin Tailai before, and I was also kept in the dark by him, does Brother Zheng believe it?" ”

"I'd love to believe it!" Zheng Zhiyan sneered and said, "But I'm more afraid of being stabbed in the back." ”

Wang Yuanwai explained: "If I really reached a cooperation with Lin Tailai, how could he say those conditions in public!" ”

Zheng Zhiyan said very keenly: "It seems that you have indeed talked about it, but you haven't done it." ”

Wang Yuanwai: "."

It seems that Zheng Zhiyan has really been very angry recently, accumulating a lot of negative emotions.

Today, he actually became a trash can for Zheng Zhiyan to vent his negative emotions, and he can't say it clearly.

But at the same time, Wang Yuanwai, who was sarcastically questioned, was also a little annoyed, everyone is a strong man in the salt industry, who doesn't have a temper?

Although the strength of the Wang family is not as good as the Zheng family, it is also one of the top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou, is it good?

If you Zheng Zhiyan don't have a good grandfather and father, how are you qualified to sit here and talk to him Wang Qing?

Just as Wang Yuanwai was about to lose his temper and show the demeanor of one of the top ten salt merchants in Yangzhou, someone suddenly stumbled up to the second floor of the proud building.

I only heard someone shouting: "Zheng Chaofeng! Oh no, the Zheng Martial Arts Hall was besieged by those Suzhou people! ”

The so-called Zheng Martial Arts Hall is actually a place to raise thugs, and after the main force of more than 100 thugs of the Zheng family was injured last time, they all recuperated here.

Zheng Zhiyan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "How is the situation?" ”

The man reported: "The dozens of nursing homes newly assembled in the past two days have been completely unstoppable, and all the wounded have been beaten again!"

More than a dozen people were also arrested, all of whom were the leaders of each team! ”

Zheng Yuanwai was so angry that he scolded: "Bastard! Bastard! Rotten spicy! ”

This behavior is completely unethical! After the opponent finishes fighting, he is recuperating at home, and he has to rush in to fight again, what kind of hero is this?

After scolding, Zheng Yuanwai didn't feel angry, and he was still extremely aggrieved in his heart!

Even if you have a fortune of 100,000 yuan, you can't conjure up hundreds of elite thugs in a few days!

In the face of unreasonable four or five hundred enemy thugs, it is a little embarrassing at this time.

In the past two days, I finally spent a lot of money, and temporarily gathered dozens of thugs to be the nursing home first, but it was abolished again!

This rhythm makes Zheng Yuanwai, who has money and nowhere to go, feel particularly fucked!

Even Wang Yuan, who is relatively more reasonable, is also inexplicable when he hears the news that the Zheng Martial Arts Hall has been swept away by the "Suzhou folks".

He really couldn't understand what was the point of Lin Tailai doing this?

If it was to deter and destroy the Zheng family's combat effectiveness in the short term, the cross street battle a few days ago was enough, and there was no need to do more.

At this time, Zheng Zhiyan, who was once again in a situation where no one was available, looked at Wang Yuanwai and forced out a little smile:

"Dude, how many people can be mobilized on hand? Can I lend it to the Zheng family? ”

This is the first time that Zheng Zhiyan has spoken to Wang Yuanwai in a good voice today, after all, the situation is stronger than people, and he urgently needs manpower to maintain a sense of security.

Otherwise, Zheng Yuanwai will feel that the Zheng family is like a completely unguarded beauty.

Wang Yuanwai replied without hesitation: "You can lend someone to you, but if you continue like this, when will you become a head?" ”

Speaking of this, Zheng Zhiyan had confidence, "Three days, as long as you survive three days!"

After three days, the governor will be able to dispatch troops and generals when he arrives in Yangzhou City, and he will not be afraid of the hundreds of Suzhou people! ”

Under the existing bureaucratic mechanism, the prefecture and county yamen did not have many ways to deal with Lin Tailai, and the salt government yamen had no right to manage civil affairs.

Therefore, the only hope is that the governor will have enough power to transfer troops.

However, Wang Yuanwai was a little skeptical: "The governor can handle Lin Tailai?"

According to the news I heard, Lin Tailai has a great relationship with Shoufu Gongzi! ”

Zheng Zhiyan said angrily: "If just a friend of Shoufu Gongzi can show off his power to me, then it will be a bad start!"

In the future, others will follow suit, and I will face more than one or two difficulties! ”

Also as a businessman, Wang Yuanwai admitted that Zheng Zhiyan's concerns were reasonable, but this is not how things are done.

After thinking about it, he could only persuade: "Think twice before acting." ”

Zheng Zhiyan is worried that Wang Yuanwai will lose confidence in himself, which will have some adverse chain consequences.

Anyone in business knows that confidence is more important than gold.

So Zheng Yuanwai explained: "Even if it is an emperor, it is impossible to touch all corners of the world, let alone Shoufu?

Moreover, Yang Junmin, the governor of Jiangbei who came this time, is not an ordinary person, but a fellow villager of the former head assistant Zhang Siwei, and his father is Yang Bo, the military secretary of the Jiajing Longqing Dynasty, who can be said to be a nobleman of the family!

This governor himself is a representative of the Northwest Shanxi forces, and he is definitely not in the same camp as Shen Shoufu.

Moreover, this governor was born rich and wealthy, and he had a wide range of contacts, so he was not afraid of Shoufu at all.

I heard that Governor Yang is just a gold-plated seniority, Zhang Siwei recommended him to the emperor before his death, and the next step will be to be promoted to Hubu Shangshu.

The most important thing is that Governor Yang's family is also in business and is more cordial to us businessmen, and we have many descendants of Western businessmen in Yangzhou, so we have great intention to cooperate. ”

Wang Yuanwai still sighed, he somehow remembered Lin Tailai's confident smile and all kinds of weird wrists.

Could it be that Lin Tailai didn't know that Governor Yang was coming in advance? Lin Tailai, a top-notch fine character, if he still dares to make trouble, it means that he is still at ease.

The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and Wang Yuanwai persuaded again: "My opinion is that I advise you to make peace with Lin Tai, and don't have any more thoughts of fighting."

If you don't mind, I can be a middleman and try my best to connect you.

For example, if you give the white oiran to Lin Tailai, no matter whether she is useful or not, you can block Lin Tailai's mouth.

After all, Lin Tailai came to Yangzhou City to make trouble under the banner of following Oiran. ”

If it weren't for the fact that he still wanted to borrow someone from Wang Yuanwai, Zheng Zhiyan would have wanted to "bah" on the spot.

Could it be that only by surrendering softness and compensation can we make peace with Lin Tai?

In the end, Zheng Yuanwai gritted his teeth and said: "Don't I, the richest man in Yangzhou, lose face?" ”

Wang Yuanwai disagrees with Zheng Yuanwai's words, if a businessman still dies to save face, he will be stunned.

It can only be said that Zheng Zhiyan, who is a few years younger than himself, inherited his family business and has no experience of starting from scratch, so he lacks a bit of "forbearance".

At this point, Wang Yuanwai no longer persuaded him.

If you talk too much, you will cause rebellion, and even lead to suspicion.

After Zheng Zhiyan drank a few glasses of wine, he was in a much better mood, and said:

"In three days, I'm going to hold my first gathering after the renovation!

At that time, I will also invite Governor Yang to Yaji as one of the judges!

The prince of the literary league in Taicang Prefecture, I also sent someone to invite, and I must make the Pingshan Hall elegant collection a grand event! ”

Wang Yuanwai only felt the pain of the egg, and now he can't see the direction of the wind.

If you can't see the direction of the wind, it's hard to speculate, and it's too painful for a businessman.

The most painful time for codewords is when I can't think about the next stage of the plot and write the transition chapters, but today I have some ideas.
