Chapter 153: It's bullying
Zhang Fugui came prepared today, he is not as ignorant as those small businessmen, although it is impossible to have inside information like Mu Wanwan, but from the moment the political envoy Yamen suddenly released a notice, he was keenly aware that this matter was unstoppable.
There is really a master around the lord of Fantai! The homeless incident that might have endangered the entire Dinghu Province and even caused this second-rank master to be wiped out was actually solved like this?
Although Zhang Fugui is treacherous and vicious, he is not a fool, he can go from a pawnshop boy to a powerful man in Dinghu Province now, and he still has the vision to see things.
In the afternoon of the same day, according to the envoy, the lord secretly recruited Zhang Fugui into the palace to discuss. For Fan Tai to come up with such an ingenious method, Zhen Tai was a little entangled in his heart. If the displaced people in Dinghu Province make trouble, of course he will also be affected, but if the feudal platform is too beautiful and steals the credit, he is also angry.
According to the analysis of the think tank, the joint contribution of money and grain by Jiangzhou merchants will be the key link, no matter what method the feudal lord intends to use to make these big families willing to pay money, if they want to grab the credit and snipe, they must seize the main position of this alliance.
Zhang Fugui is the best candidate, he has secretly connected himself before, and plans to make trouble at today's meeting. At this time, Zhang Fugui didn't care about continuing to hide, so he had to jump out in a hurry to grab the position of the leader.
Zhang Fugui himself is not worried, but the people behind him make people have to think twice. Lord Pan of Fantai considered the gains and losses, and Mu Million should also be cautious, and did not immediately fight back against Zhang Fugui.
So for a while, no one scolded Zhang Fugui, and let Zhang Fugui be arrogant for a while. Just at this time, Ye Xingyuan came, and Shi Shiran entered the hall and stood in front of Zhang Fugui with a disdainful expression.
Originally, Zhang Fugui wanted to hit others by surprise, and then took the opportunity to build momentum, but he didn't expect to be interrupted by a strange young show, and his face was a little unsightly.
Zhang Fugui sneered: "Who is this scholar? When we businessmen talk about profits, we should not interfere with the minister. Could it be that the prime minister has the ability to take out these tens of thousands of stones, grain, and tens of thousands of taels of silver? If not, don't talk nonsense!"
There is money to a certain extent. There is less respect for the poor scholars with high grades. Zhang Fugui has a group of Qing guests in his own family, so he naturally doesn't pay much attention to Ye Xingyuan's young talent, and his words are quite polite.
Master Pan saw Ye Xingyuan coming in. There is a kind of great joy like a fish in water, like having a backbone, and I can't wait to get up to greet him. It's just that because of the disparity in identity, you can't go too far after all.
Ye Xingyuan glanced at Zhang Fugui disdainfully, and said with a casual smile: "Who is here? Taking out this money and food is for the benefit of the country and the people, and it is the heart of heaven and the heart of the body to save the homeless. How can you speak on behalf of all the merchants?"
After going out for more than half a month, the lord of the clan arranged things in place according to the tips left by Ye Xingyuan. There were objections at this bidding meeting, and Ye Xingyuan also predicted that after all, there were waves in the province, and several forces were fighting. It's impossible not to have some surprises.
But the specific situation is not predictable in advance, and there is no way to pretend to leave any tips, so after Ye Xingyuan left the camp of the homeless camp, he hurriedly returned to Jiangzhou City in time, just in time for this good show.
Zhang Fugui was very displeased, since he became rich, who dared to talk to him like this except for high-ranking officials and dignitaries? This little show is so bold!
He turned his head to Master Jin and said angrily: "Where did this little minister come from? He is so ignorant of the rules! Why don't you go out quickly, so as not to delay our discussion of business! Otherwise, if someone makes trouble, we will not be able to continue talking." ”
Zhang Fugui straightened his waist. made a gesture of leaving, but listened to Ye Xingyuan say leisurely: "It's okay to go, the black sheep, what's the use of staying? This big deal is not enough for people to share, and some people voluntarily quit, which is unwanted!"
In Ye Xingyuan's opinion, Master Pan and they are still too weak, why be polite to this kind of character who is obviously not the same as them?
Don't say anything else. In the short term, Mu Wanwan can't get the money and food for the displaced people, it's just that he wants to find someone to share the risk. Others who are unwilling to cooperate, or make trouble, should be swept out of the house like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves!
Zhang Fugui was choked and speechless for a while. Although he let go of the cruel words, he really wanted him to turn around and leave, but it was impossible. He came with a mission today, how could he make trouble and leave?
He peeked at the few people he had connected before, with a look of hesitation on his face, thinking that if he really wanted to leave, these people might not follow. As Xiao Xiucai said just now, the big deal is not enough for people to share, they will leave if they want to leave, and no one will stop them, but can they just let Mu Million eat alone?
Zhang Fugui gritted his teeth and said sharply: "Let's discuss business today, I won't worry about this yellow-mouthed child!
He had already cultivated extremely thickly, and when he saw that Master Jin ignored him, what he said was like a fart, and he made up his mind to continue without any embarrassment.
How could Ye Xingyuan let a rat feces spoil a pot of porridge, and said with a calm smile: "Don't drive this old man away? It's a pity, you don't find someone to drive me away, but I want to ask you to leave." ”
He calmly saluted Master Pan, and then arched his hand towards Master Jin, "The student did not fail in his mission, and with the prestige of the Lord and the financial resources of Master Mu, he persuaded the leader of the exile camp to temporarily stay in Peacock Gorge and wait for relief.
Soon the construction of the long canal between the north and the south began, and the displaced people were sent south to repair the canal and road, and the leader assured me that he would restrain his subordinates to obey the law and never dare to cross the thunder pond by half a step. However, he also said that in Dinghu Province, he only listened to the orders of adults, and only believed in Master Mu when it came to money and food."
The new leader, Zhu Ning'er, didn't know who Mu Wanwan was, of course he hadn't said such a thing, but now he was the only one who could contact the homeless, so naturally he was what he said.
Ye Xingyuan said that the homeless people only recognize Master Pan and only believe in Mu Million, that is the meaning of the homeless, who has the way to verify the truth or falsehood?
Zhang Fugui was surprised, he had also heard the name of this young man, but he didn't expect Ye Xingyuan to come back so soon, and he didn't expect it to be him in a hurry just now.
Ye Xingyuan's words clearly meant that he wanted to praise Mu Million as the leader of Jiangzhou merchants? With these words as a foundation, who could fight for this position? But according to the great trust of the Inspector Envoy, Zhang Fugui struggled to the death: "How can the homeless people know that Mu Million is obviously made up by you!"
Ye Xingyuan laughed, "Master Mu's family is rich, advocating culture and education, and being kind and charitable, who in Dinghu Province doesn't know? I can convince the displaced people, half of the reason is that the leader of the displaced people believes that Master Mu can get this money and food, so he readily agreed."
Who are you? What kind of reputation can convince the homeless people? Anyway, what I said to the leader of the homeless people is that the affairs of Jiangzhou are mainly based on the lord of the domain and Master Mu, and they are in contact with the lower center. If you want to disturb the old gentleman, then this matter will be stopped, and you will go back to the guild hall to study in peace and take your leave!"
He bowed his hand again, without any regret, and turned to leave. Where could Lord Pan allow him to leave like this, and hurriedly stopped: "Ye Xiansheng wait a minute! This matter is discussed!" This is the first time that Lord Pan has spoken, which shows how important Ye Xingyuan is in the heart of the political envoy.
Zhang Fugui was stunned, and he couldn't hold back his words. He had done a lot of evil, but at this time he felt that the person in front of him was ten times worse than himself. Because Ye Xingyuan's words have only one meaning, I just bullied you, Zhang Fugui, so what?
The reason is very clear, Ye Xingyuan took the opportunity to have a one-line contact with the homeless, and put on the posture of "there is me without him, there is him without me", isn't this just a clear bully and an arrogant and unreasonable drive him out of Zhang Fugui?
In fact, everyone knew that Ye Xingyuan was unreasonably "bullying" Zhang Fugui, but no one could refute it. Because no one dares to guarantee that after Ye Xingyuan picks a son, Dinghu Province can successfully appease the displaced people, and even Lord Pan does not dare to guarantee it!
This show is so cunning! No wonder the Fan in Guiyang County has suffered a big loss from him! Zhang Fugui secretly scolded in his heart, but he was helpless.
Ye Xingyuan chased after him fiercely, bowed to Master Pan and said, "The student was born and died this time, and after a lot of hardships, he finally sneaked into the camp and talked with his leader. After three days of hard persuasion, his mouth was dry, and he only got a promise.
This stable situation is not easy to come by, if someone wants to destroy it, the students are really disheartened, and they dare not put more beaks, so let me go home and study in peace!"
On the one hand, these remarks are a complaint of grievances and meritorious service, and on the other hand, they put the big hat of destroying the situation of stability and unity on Zhang Fugui's head. So far, Lord Pan can't show him, not to mention that the adult has been looking at Zhang Fugui unpleasantly.
Then he pushed the boat down the river and said: "Zhang Yuanwai, it's not that the official doesn't keep you, but since Ye Gongzi has this agreement with the head of the homeless people, the Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce will be dominated by Mu Yuanwai." You go first, and the next time the official will come and invite you. ”
Zhang Fugui was dumb and couldn't say that he was suffering from eating Coptis chinensis, Master Pan had spoken, he didn't want to tear his face, so what else could he say?
The rest of the people looked at it in their eyes and secretly sighed that although Ye Xingyuan was a scholar and looked quite gentle on the outside, he was actually a ruthless character. Of course, if you are not ruthless, how can you defeat the county and the sub-patrol road again and again?
No one dares to have any more ideas, and the next question is easy to talk about.
The Jiangzhou Chamber of Commerce was established on the spot, and Mu Million became the first president, and at the same time reached an agreement with Master Pan, the first phase of the Chamber of Commerce took out 300,000 stone of grain and began to help the Jingchu refugees, and at the same time drove the refugees to build a long canal and post road in the north and south, in exchange for the right to charge checkpoints on the road in the next ten years.
As for the proportion of internal capital contribution of the Chamber of Commerce and the distribution of future income, it will be discussed and agreed with everyone after Mu Million returns, and there is no hurry. Mu Million knew that Master Pan was anxious, so he generously took out half of the advance payment first to deal with the displaced people.
Master Pan smiled, and the big stone in his chest was finally put down, and he only saw a bright future in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
