In the following days, Murong Yan was sent to Jiangning City by Liu Dapao. As the deepest link between him and the Dianqian Division, at this time she actually played the role of the Dinghai Shenzhen.

Only by ensuring that even in extreme circumstances the Chief of Staff will not take action against him can Liu Dapao have the confidence to continue playing this game. Otherwise, all his plans will be nonsense.

Specifically, he urged Zhao Kuangmei to help him sell stocks, bonds, and deposit certificates.

His whole life depends on these gadgets. As long as the soldiers of Dianqiansi buy more, they are a family. If the sales are not good, sooner or later he will die under the soldiers of Dianqiansi.

Of course, in the final analysis, the front secretary is only concerned about the long term. Although he has to worry about the long term, he also has to worry about the near future.

For several days in a row, Liu Dapao met with waves of people in his prison, always paying attention to what was going on outside, and issuing wave after wave of orders.

Although there is no blood in the political struggle, the deployment of personnel, the formation of troops, and all kinds of trivial matters involved are as complex and intense as a real bloody battlefield.

"How is the morale of the brothers now?"

"Uh... not bad." Dragon Crossing the River replied.

"It's not bad, that is to say, it has dropped a bit compared to the beginning, right?"

Hearing this, Dragon Crossing the River smiled bitterly and nodded, which was regarded as acquiescence.

Du Mengdong also smiled bitterly and said: "Otherwise... I can organize it and hold a meeting with each hall leader or something?"

Hearing this, Liu Dapao shook his head and said: "It's useless. These are all within my expectations. The brothers' love for me should not be fake. You have done a good job too."

"I have no doubt that if I died, most of the brothers would rush into the government office and kill Zheng Xin in anger out of loyalty. But since I didn't die, I turned the matter into a war of attrition, and the anger

It will subside eventually, and you will eventually feel the pain when you cut flesh with a soft knife."

"When we go on strike and fight against the imperial court, we cannot just rely on passion and anger. We must have strategies and a clear organizational division of labor. The struggle has just begun now."

"Strikes and market strikes must not affect the basic living security of the citizens. We need to figure out who are our enemies and who are our friends. The existing grain reserves in Yangzhou City should be about one million dan. Some of these are

Part of the military rations originally destined for Sichuan and Sichuan was destined for Kaifeng."

"What I mean is, let the brothers also get involved and distribute these grains to each household in the form of two buckets of rice per day without accepting any money. This will at least ensure that there will be no food shortages during this city-wide strike.

People will starve."

"The weather is getting colder. The wood in the dock warehouse, no matter who originally owned it or what it was used for, will be confiscated and let the brothers chop it into dry firewood and share it with the common people for heating and fire. If anyone suffers from this, he will

Let’s record it in our entire Yizi Sect’s account first.”

"Of course, some people don't have a kitchen and it's difficult to make a fire. They usually eat from a big pot while working. We must also take care of this aspect."

"There are 108 squares in Yangzhou City. Let's put two or three large pots at the front and rear ends of each square, and find some brothers who are relatively poor in life to cook big pot rice, make flowing mats, and open the usual double pots.

times salary.”

"All our brothers from the Yizi Sect, whether they have rice at home or not, can come and eat."

"Lao San, after you go out in a while, go and have a good chat with Li Yuanwai in person. He is in charge of almost all the land around Yangzhou where vegetables and fruits are grown. It can be said that this plays a vital role in stabilizing the quality of life of the people in the city.

.”

"Others can go on strike, but their farmers who grow vegetables and transport vegetables must not stop. During the current strike, it is impossible to restore market order. We use unified prices for these fruits and vegetables.

To purchase from him, we'll pay half of the deposit first, and we'll pay him back the rest when we have sufficient funds after a while."

"We buy these vegetables and distribute them to the people in the city and the brothers in the gang for free. Things have to be done beautifully and spoken beautifully, but of course, Zheng Xin will definitely win over Mr. Li. You have to do a good job

I need to talk to Mr. Li directly and let him understand the situation. I can promise him that after the completion of the matter, I will hand over the entire Yangzhou city feces truck processing business to him. The cost of processing feces can be increased on the original basis.

Thirty percent, unchanged for ten years.”

Du Mengdong nodded when he heard this and said: "Understood, this is the end of benevolence and justice. Don't worry, if Mr. Li is still dissatisfied with this, I will find a way to let him overcome it."

"Zheng Xin's counterattack has begun. Let me tell the brothers that even if we are going to strike, we must strike strategically, especially the market strike. We must strike wisely. The city can be controlled by hospitals and grocery stores that are controlled by our own people.

, you must not follow in the booing."

"However, we won't stop when others go on strike, and it's because of our own business. This is so annoying. Therefore, for all businesses that open during this period, the goods sold will be half price, and medical treatment will be free. How much loss will there be?

, after the storm of this matter has passed, our Yizimen will pay full compensation."

"In short, don't worry about money if the problem can be solved by spending money. Our purpose is not to punish the people of Yangzhou City, but to exert influence."

"Based on the principle of dock transportation, in principle, we welcome all materials entering the city, but they must be controlled by us. What we stop is the materials sent to the outside, especially the grain and money transported to the north. In this way,

To put pressure on the court."

"In this round, we are under pressure compared with Zheng Xin, or in other words, the imperial court. We are uncomfortable, and the imperial court is also uncomfortable. You must know that almost all the materials south of Yangzhou must be transferred from Yangzhou before being transported to the north.

Although the water transportation in Yangzhou and Kaifeng will not starve to death, it will definitely be tense, and the specific manifestation is the rise in food prices."

"We must control this aspect well and make Kaifeng feel the pain, but we cannot really let Kaifeng suffer from food shortage to the point where starvation is everywhere. The price of food cannot exceed 300 Wen per bucket."

"So in today's game, it depends on whether the court, Zheng Xin, can't withstand the increase in food prices first, or whether we can't sustain the consumption of the strike first. We will hurt the enemy by one thousand, but we can't hurt ourselves by eight hundred. All aspects of guarantees must be guaranteed

To do this, the support of the people of Yangzhou is our foundation."

"Besides, second brother, you are in charge of the patrol camp now. This is very important. The public security in Yangzhou City must not become more chaotic due to the strike, but can only become better. Tell the brothers, who dares to

At this time, he commits adultery and commits a crime, and no mercy can be spared. He must be killed by thousands of blows."

"As for the brothers who are not from the gang, in troubled times, heavy punishments are used. Those who rob, steal, hurt others, and insult women will be killed as soon as they are caught. They will be killed first and then tried. I will bear the responsibility for any crimes."

"Of course, the more important thing is to practice brother training, and at the same time let the cement factory workers recover and strengthen Yangzhou city defense. At the same time, now start telling the people in the city some historical stories about Tian Shengong's massacre of Yangzhou."

"Since Zheng Xin wants to use Deng Sen's name to increase the panic of the people in the city, then we will simply push him behind, but at the same time we must also vote for a stance, that is, we will never give in! Let the brothers really

If we train our troops seriously, if Deng Sen really dares to come, we will have enough confidence to defend Yangzhou's city defense and let him return in defeat!"

This is purely a trick to scare each other.

You use Denson to scare me, and I use military training and city defense reinforcement to show my stance. If you are tough, I will be tougher than you. It is a bit similar to the most common game of "who is the coward" in political struggles.

Just look at the people of Yangzhou City and the brothers of Yizimen. Faced with such a panic situation, will they support Liu Dapao in repelling all the invading enemies, or will they spontaneously organize and support the death of Liu Dapao to apologize to the husband?

Apologized.

At the same time, Liu Dapao still did not stop Zheng Xin. Except for the prostitutes from Yizimen who still organized and scolded him spontaneously, he did not restrict his freedom at all, allowing him to still be in Yangzhou City as the prime minister.

issue any commands he wants.

But whether the person receiving the order will listen is another matter.

According to Liu Dapao, if he wants to fight, then he should fight openly and openly. What he wants to fight against is the Prime Minister who uses Zheng Xin as a tool, not just Zheng Xin.

In this case, if he wins, the court will not immediately send another prime minister to continue to follow him in other ways. Once the prime minister's power is really defeated by him, in principle, his opponents will only have imperial power and military power.

Already.

And if he can really be tied to military power in the way he envisioned, then the imperial power may not be really scary.

Zheng Xin generally understood what Liu Dapao meant, and his heart felt a little heavier, but he suddenly felt a little respect for Liu Dapao.

No wonder he was able to earn such a huge fortune as a mere gangster. He had a clear mind, was methodical in doing things, and used extremely mature political methods.

But want to play the “coward game” with yourself?

He, Zheng Xin, really refused to accept it this time, because now he had really come from the bottom of his heart and put his own life and death aside.

And it was precisely because of Liu Dapao's series of methods that he believed that Liu Dapao was by no means an overheated lunatic. Then he also believed that Liu Dapao was at least afraid of death, at least he had never thought about it and was unwilling to do it.

die.

Why would a person who is afraid of death play this game with someone who has already decided to die?

If he is not even afraid of death, how can he threaten him?

Since the black-hearted bear still doesn't restrict his freedom of movement, come on, I have to win or die in this game. I want to negotiate with me, no, I want to negotiate with the power I represent. Dream on!

Just a few days later, subordinate officials who poured in from all over the country gradually arrived. This time, Zheng Xin, who had learned wisely, did not let them have any direct conflict with the Yizimen, and Liu

Cannon also made a tacit understanding not to let Guojiang Long mess with them again.

After Zheng Xin finally had some manpower available, he immediately found Shen Yi.

"Prefect Shen, are you feeling better?"

"Thanks to your husband, things are getting much better."

The two of them seemed to be old friends for many years, and all the previous nastiness no longer existed.

After all, he is the Prime Minister of the dynasty. Shen Yi originally planned to swallow the previous unhappiness and treat it as if it didn't exist. In fact, although he supported Liu Dapao before, he never thought that Zheng Xin would be so tough, and Liu Dapao He actually had a head-on confrontation with Zheng Xin.

He knew that Liu Dapao would definitely fight with Zheng Xin, but they actually fought to this point without starting peace talks. That was something he never expected earlier.

Therefore, it was Shen Yi who was panicking at this moment, and he was probably the most panicked person in the entire Yangzhou City.

If Deng Sen was really allowed to lead Huaixi soldiers and horses to attack Yangzhou City, and Liu Dapao really dared to defend the city and resist, where would he be, the prefect of Yangzhou?

He is the person in Yangzhou who most hopes that Liu Dapao and Zheng Xin can negotiate peace as soon as possible. At this point, he doesn't care who wins and who loses. As long as there is no real fight, he will burn incense.

Therefore, in fact, if Zheng Xin didn't come to him and take the initiative to find him today, he would have to take the initiative to find Zheng Xin to convince him. He doesn't have any strong bones, so what can't be discussed carefully?

Perhaps, he can now be one of the two?

This was also the main reason why his attitude towards Zheng Xin suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.

But he didn't expect that Zheng Xin would bring up the old matter again and said: "Prefect Shen, I just came here for the first time, and I acted in a tyrannical manner before I had a clear understanding of the actual situation in Yangzhou City, which led to the development of the situation today. To the point where it’s my fault.”

"With the power and strength displayed by this black-hearted bear today, Brother Shen, with his mere power to know Yangzhou Prefecture, I am afraid that he cannot really be said to be complicit, but to be controlled by others."
