Ye Ming smiled: "Actually, it's not that serious, the four families and three merchants can command Haikou to do things, and the Mullet King can also command Haikou to do things."

The four three merchants have been standing for so many years, and I am afraid that the shadow of the mullet king is indispensable behind them.

But the interests of the four three merchants and the mullet king will never really coincide.

In addition, the four three merchants have no soldiers on the surface, so it is not difficult to break the situation. ”

Yuan Zhixin listened to Yeming's analysis, and felt that he had already grasped some of the main points, but he didn't understand how to break the game for a while, so he immediately arched his hand and said:

"Please sir teach me."

"The method is actually very simple, send 300 soldiers to each of the three seaports in Weichang County.

And spread the news, saying that once the pirates attacked, no matter where they landed from, they would directly burn down the harbor.

In this way, the current situation can be solved. ”

"This ......"

When Yuan Zhixin heard this, he was shocked at first, and then suddenly realized, and stroked his palms again and again:

"Wonderful, wonderful, in this way, it can indeed solve the current crisis."

As he spoke, he immediately began to write the paperwork and act according to the plan.

Miaotong on the side was still in a state of confusion when he heard this, and couldn't help asking:

"Isn't the seaport an important port for our own family? How can you retreat from the enemy by burning your own things? ”

Yuan Zhixin, who issued the order, was obviously relieved, and seeing that Miaotong was puzzled, he smiled and said:

"The harbor is indeed nominally under the rule of Phu Phat Province. But in fact, the biggest beneficiaries are the four companies and three merchants.

This is one of the pillars of their profit.

If the harbor is damaged, Pingbo Province will indeed be greatly affected, but they will only be affected more severely.

The reason why they let Haikou transport the materials to the prince was that they didn't want to give up their interests.

But if they lose more because of this, then what to do, presumably they will have a correct choice. ”

Miao Tong actually didn't understand much, but felt that if she asked again, she would seem too stupid, so she immediately looked like she understood, and nodded in approval.

At this time, Yeming said again:

"My lord, the immediate matter can be solved by this method, but your own strength is the last word.

In the next suggestion, we should immediately expand the recruitment of troops and recruit 5,000 government soldiers. ”

As a large coastal province, Pingbo Province has a full military establishment of 5,000 people, which is much more than other provinces.

"Sir, this officer naturally knows the importance of troops, but now there is not enough food, and he can't recruit soldiers at all!"

Yuan Zhixin said that it appeared in the biggest difficulty.

Ye Ming smiled: "It depends on whether adults dare to play big." ”

"What is your plan, sir?"

"It's very simple, recruit soldiers first, but don't pay them, tell them that they will be paid for two months at a time next month.

All the surplus food in the current treasury will be taken out, and it will only be enough to sustain the soldiers for ten days. ”

"Ten days? What's the use of this? ”

"After the Haikou retreated this time, as previously agreed, the food and salary given to the prince would be transported away by the four three merchants with a large amount of labor.

In this way, there will be a gap in its strength on the bright side, and we only need to adjust the original suppression strategy, and directly move the real one, so that it can hurt the muscles and bones.

In this way, if it is done, the matter of food and salary is naturally not a problem.

If it doesn't work out, you don't have to think about it. ”

Yuan Zhixin heard the words and understood the meaning of Yeming:

"Sir, this method can be described as a desperate and desperate gamble.

It is extremely risky to do so when you are not fully prepared now......"

"When fishermen go to sea, they are accompanied by risks and benefits, not to mention such a major event related to the government, and it is normal for adults to have concerns.

It's just a proposal below, and it's up to the adults themselves to implement it or not. ”

Yuan Zhixin paced back and forth in the room, unable to make up his mind for a while.

Ye Ming looked indifferent, and lay leisurely on the Taishi chair.

Miao Tong didn't realize how risky this decision was, and didn't understand why Yuan Zhixin was walking around, but it felt very fun, and she followed his example and walked around.

Yuan Zhixin walked back and forth and walked to Yuan Zhong's side.

He was still standing upright as always, guarding his safety.

"Yuan Zhong, you say, do you want to give it a try?"

"Master, I don't understand these things, but as long as the decision is made by the master, Yuan Zhong will definitely swear to help each other."

Hearing this, Yuan Zhixin let out a long breath, the expression on his face became firm, and he showed the confident smile he had when he first came, looked at the map on the wall, and said loudly:

"Okay, then bet on this one!"

......

On the largest flower boat in Wubo Lake, at this time, the old men of the four families and three merchants gathered together, laughing and laughing, staggering, singing and dancing, and Meiji Xiangkou wine, so happy.

Lin Fuwei raised his glass and said to Lou Fucheng:

"Brother Lou, I wish this operation a success, let the surnamed Yuan know that this is in Pingbo Mansion, who has the final say!"

Lou Fucheng was not as optimistic as Lin Fuwei, and said calmly:

"Although in terms of strength, this arrangement is indeed incomprehensible, but I always feel that it is not so easy to succeed......

At this time, one of the Lu merchants smiled and said:

"Eh, my lord has been thinking too much, this arrangement, strategy is only secondary, the most important thing is strong force as support.

Yuan Zhixin has so many people under him, and it is good to be able to protect the stability of the city, but he can't do more.

Even if he was smart enough to guess that it was me and others secretly exerting force, there was nothing he could do.

So I think that Brother Lou just rest assured, things will definitely come to pass. ”

When Lou Fucheng heard this, he also nodded in approval, and was about to have a drink with everyone to celebrate in advance, but he saw a person suddenly come in from outside.

As soon as the man came in, he didn't care about the lively scene inside, and said loudly:

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not good!"

As soon as these words came out, the originally noisy ship immediately fell silent, and everyone looked at the man.

Lou Fucheng waved his hand, and the singers and dancing maids in the boat withdrew.

After the idlers left, the man immediately walked to the center of the hall and said that the government had sent three hundred soldiers to control the three major seaports and planned to burn them.

When everyone in the boat heard this, they felt incredible.

Someone couldn't help but say:

"Is this surnamed Yuan crazy? These seaports are the lifeblood pillars of Pingbo Mansion, and he actually wants to destroy them directly! ”

The others also felt a little incredulous, and their faces were gloomy.

A considerable part of the interests of all the people present depend on the major seaports for liaison and transit.

If the port is destroyed, the government will indeed suffer losses, but their losses will undoubtedly be greater.

Why did they secretly arrange for the pirates to fight the idea of transporting supplies?

It's not about keeping the benefits from leaking out and protecting their own interests.

Now when I hear the other party's demeanor, I suddenly feel a headache.

"The use of seaport transportation is very important, and I don't believe that Yuan Zhixin can be so willing to do so.

Once he does this, the prince will not let him go! ”

Someone said angrily.

Another person said:

"In doing this, the prince will indeed not let him go, but he will also not let us go."

As soon as these words came out, the crowd immediately fell silent.

Indeed, the reason why King Fu did not move them was for the sake of stability in the rear.

If such a big thing happens, it means that the rear is unstable, and then they will lose the need to exist.

At this time, there was a human:

"After all, the prince is only a mortal, although we can't afford to mess with it, but it's not a ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Captain Lin:

"Confused, our value lies in our current position and the resources in our hands.

Without that, he wouldn't have been able to help us! ”

When this man heard this, he also reacted.

Indeed, they themselves are not important, and the resources in their hands are the root of the one who is willing to help secretly.

After losing the value of the resources in his hands, it is already a blessing that the one who does not turn his face and kill them all, don't expect to help them.

"So, how should this be?"

Someone was really panicked at this time, but he didn't expect that the government official would have such a way to draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle.

Yuan Zhixin is not afraid of death, but they are afraid.

Yuan Zhi's heart is dead, and at most one family will die.

When they die, there are several clans, and such a comparison makes them not have the courage to bet that the other party will not dare.

Everyone couldn't make up their minds, and they all subconsciously looked at Lou Fucheng to see his decision.

Lou Fucheng was silent for a while, and said helplessly:

"There's no way, let the pirates withdraw, the operation is canceled."

Captain Lin nodded, understanding the helplessness of this decision.

Someone asked: "Although the upper echelons of the Haikou listen to us as a whole, but the Haikou is the Haikou after all, in the end, it is for the benefit, it took a lot of effort to gather this time, and now if you want to dismiss, I am afraid it will take a lot of ......."

Lou Fucheng said: "At this time, don't care about this loss. Wait for the matter to pass, and if you do a few more votes at sea, you can get it back. ”

Suddenly, another person said:

"Why don't you just secretly send the pirates to the government and let them do it......"

"No, it's still the same sentence, Yuan Zhixin must not die in Pingbo Mansion, at least he can't be killed!"

Captain Lin immediately dissuaded, this kind of slap in the face of the Fu King can't be done, otherwise it will be self-defeating.

Another humane: "People can't be killed, but people who aren't people can always be killed, right?" ”

Lou Fucheng said slowly:

"I've secretly pushed for this before, and it turned out to be no.

Na Yuan is full of righteousness, and the demons and monsters with malicious intentions can't get close to him at all.

Curse charms and the like will also be blocked, useless to them. ”

These words made everyone a little dumb and felt out of temper.

"Is there really nothing that can be done?"

Faced with this question, Lou Fucheng thought for a while and then spoke again:

"If you really want to move him, it's not impossible, it's just that this matter is not easy to arrange, and if we are not careful, we may expose ourselves."

"Brother Lou, since you have a way, you might as well prepare it first, and as for whether you use it or not, we will talk about it later."

"Well~~ makes sense, then let's prepare first!"

......

"My lord, according to the latest indications, the pirates who gathered at sea have begun to disperse, and it seems that they will not do anything to go ashore and plunder."

Jiang Xinlin handed over the latest report documents to Yuan Zhixin with a happy face.

Yuan Zhixin took this document, and after confirming that the matter was true, he was also overjoyed, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Shanyuan is really a genius, and he can easily think of such a way to use his strength.

In such a comparison, the official's mind seems pedantic. ”

Jiang Xinlin immediately patted his ass and said:

"Your Excellency is too humble, you are the chief officer, take the right path to reassure the people.

Mr. Shanyuan is a strategist, and he schemes to defeat the enemy.

The two of you are a perfect match for each other, so who is inferior to the other? ”

"Hahaha, how did you learn to flatter people?"

Yuan Zhixin said with a smile, and there was no accusation in his words.

Jiang Xinlin laughed with him, and slapped a few sycophants by the way.

In this world, everyone likes to listen to good things, even Yuan Zhixin is no exception.

Whoever tells you is a critic who likes to hear criticism.

Either it's because of some need to pretend or it's just sick.

was talking here, but saw Yeming and Miaotong coming over with a string of ugly sugar gourds in his hand.

After several productions, Yeming has been able to make a sugar gourd with a normal taste, but it is not beautiful in appearance.

Yuan Zhixin was very happy to see him coming, and they discussed some of the next action plans together.

After chatting for a while, Yuan Zhixin said with some embarrassment:

"I'm ashamed to say that I've been busy with political affairs during this time, and I don't have time to help my husband find a few items he needs......"

"Haha, it turns out that the adults still remember this.

Adults only have to do their own business, and when things are done, they can almost collect everything they need. ”

"Is that so? Then the official can't slack off. ”

......
