Looking at Hong Anque leaving the room with heavy steps, Hong Futong stood up and said lukewarmly to everyone: "Okay, I keep my word. I will naturally hand over the shops to you in two days. Now I will ask Brother Bi to fulfill his promise and send my incompetent dog away."

The man named Bi smiled slightly, stood up and bowed, "That's natural, don't worry, Mr. Hongyi, let's take care of the son's affairs."

Hong Futong nodded: "Since that's the case, I have to deal with some things, so I won't accompany you."

After saying that, Hong Futong walked out of the back door.

"Please give me your own advice!"

After watching Hong Futong leave, the man surnamed Bi and several others stood up and watched him leave. A man was about to say something, but was interrupted by the man surnamed Bi, "Let's go... go back first if you have anything to say."

Hong Futong left the lobby and came to the backyard. He first sent someone to call the butler Hong Qiang, and said with a serious expression: "These Zhejiang businessmen are not good. Not only do they want our shop, but they want to take away our ways and people. There is no such good thing in this world. You can tell me immediately and transfer all the people and things on the list." After that, he took out a piece of letter from his sleeve and handed it to Hong Qiang.

"yes!"

Hong Qiang took the letter and bowed and responded, then carefully put the letter away, and then asked in a low voice: "Master, do we really want to hand over the young master to them and let them take it away?"

Hong Futong snorted coldly, and anger appeared on his face: "This beast, I originally thought that after more than ten years of cultivation, I could stand alone. Who knew that it was so useless. I beat people to death for a small matter, and in front of so many people! Now, our Hong family may be the target of public criticism. If we don't get this beast away, do you think the government will let them go?"

"But you can't hand over the third young master to those Zhejiang merchants. These people have no other skills, but if they use methods that corrode people's hearts, if they think they are second, then no one dares to be the first. If the young master falls into their hands, they may be led to the destruction."

"Hmph... If you can't even handle the trick, I will pretend that I have never given birth to this beast!"

Hong Futong's firm tone made Hong Qiang understand that he was really disappointed this time, and this was Hong Anque's last chance. If he still couldn't become a talent after arriving in Hangzhou, the position of the head of the Hong family would be completely insulated from him.

"Forget... let's not talk about this beast." Hong Futong waved his hand and signaled to end the topic, saying solemnly: "I just realized today that we have underestimated these Zhejiang merchants on weekdays. I didn't expect that they had set up so many eyeliners here quietly over the years. An Que accidentally killed the surname Qiu. I didn't know yet, but they actually knew it before me. Hehe... This really made me look at him with admiration."

Although Hong Futong's tone was faint, Hong Qiang knew that the head of the family who had been following him for most of his life was really angry. On his own territory, his son accidentally killed someone, but these guests who were visiting at home actually knew the news first than his master, and this was slapping him in the face.

"The shopkeepers who are with An Que must have those people's eyeliners today. Tell Hong Gaofa that I don't want to see that person again."

Listening to the murderous intent in Hong Fu's speech, Hong Qiang quickly said, "I understand, lord."

Hong Futong's concern was correct. Half an hour later, dozens of shackles, led by a squad leader, came to Hong's mansion with a handwritten order issued by the governor Xia Dayan, and wanted to take Hong Anque away. After being told that Hong Anque was not there, the leader of the squad left in disappointment. At this time, less than a quarter of an hour had passed since Hong Anque was sent out of the city.

"Mr. Marquis, the officials are really incompetent, so they actually let Hong Anque run away." Xia Dayan said to Yang Feng, who came to discuss matters with him in a little ashamed manner.

"You can't blame you all." Yang Feng waved his hand, "The Hong family has been in Jingying in Xiamen for many years, and their relationship has long been mixed. Sending a person out of the city is too simple for them. Moreover, Hong Anque is just an irrelevant pawn. So what if we let him go for the moment? The most important thing now is how to deal with those uninvited people, which is the most important thing."

Speaking of these people, Xia Dayan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Xiaoguan didn't expect that he would have to stop the six maritime merchants, but he didn't expect that there were so many big fish behind them. Now the effort we had done before was in vain."

"It's not in vain." Yang Feng said: "At least we have earned more than 7 million taels of silver now, and we have made a lot of money in addition to capital."

Xia Dayan bowed and smiled, "You are going to congratulate the marquis for making a fortune again."

Yang Feng smiled faintly: "Silver is something outside the body. What does this marquis do if I want so much silver? The reason why I dealt with these six families is because they have become borers parasitized on the Ming Dynasty. They will only lie on the Ming Dynasty and suck flesh and blood, but they never thought of doing their part to the country. Just like those gentry who refuse to pay taxes, these people are like nooses tied to the Ming Dynasty. If they are not cut off as soon as possible, they will eventually strangle the Ming Dynasty to death."

Yang Feng's words were very intense in this era. He scolded all the gentry. Xia Dayan agreed, not opposed, nor did he object, but could only move the corners of his mouth, which was a little embarrassed.

Yang Feng glanced at him: "Mr. Xia, don't blame me for being straightforward. Are you worried and asking yourself, is this true? Nowadays, nearly 60% of the land in the Ming Dynasty are gathered in the hands of wealthy gentry and wealthy families. The land in the hands of the people is becoming less and less, and the entire Ming Dynasty taxes are all supplied by these 40% of the land, and this number is still decreasing. This has also led to the Ming Dynasty becoming increasingly overwhelmed. This marquis doesn't understand. Are these people not afraid that one day the Ming Dynasty will never be able to hold on to the collapse of the coaxing?"

Faced with Yang Feng's questioning, Xia Dayan was speechless.

Don’t he understand this principle? No... Even ordinary scholars understand this principle. As a governor of a province, he is naturally more aware of it. However, as a member of a vested interest group, he is born to protect this kind of interests, otherwise he will be rejected by this group. This is the law of the butt determining the brain.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore." Yang Feng felt helpless when he saw Xia Dayan not speaking.

It has been three years since we came to this time and space. The more Yang Feng knows about the situation in this era, the more he feels. After more than two hundred years of development, the Ming Dynasty has formed a complete set of inherent rules. It is very difficult to change the status quo, and it can even be said to be almost impossible to accomplish.

Although Yang Feng has killed salt merchants over the years, attacked the Donglin Party and established the Ming Dynasty Royal Trading Company, he still felt a lot of resistance, and this resistance came from all directions. Unless he could shout the slogan "Damage the land and divide the fields" like Taizu, completely overturn everything and rebuild a new society, no one could do anything, which made him feel a little depressed. The Ming Dynasty court is now like a patient who has changed into severe illness. What he did was just to extend the patient's time for a period of time. As for whether this time was decades or a hundred years, no one knew.

Thinking of this, Yang Feng became a little excited. He sighed and said self-deprecatingly: "Mr. I know that my husband's actions have offended many people over the years. Those people wish they could eat my husband's flesh and drink my husband's blood, but who can understand my husband's painstaking efforts?"

Seeing that Yang Feng, who had always been full of energy, rarely showed frustration and helplessness, Xia Dayan couldn't help but say, "Marty, I admire your actions very much, but now the national dynasty is so popular, there is nothing I can do about it."

"This is the atmosphere?" Yang Feng suddenly became angry and glared at him and shouted angrily: "This is the reason why they unscrupulously dig the foundation of the Ming Dynasty? What are the benefits for everyone if the Ming Dynasty collapses? Will the life of another person being the emperor be much better than now?"

"Marty..."

Seeing Yang Feng suddenly getting angry, Xia Dayan couldn't help but feel speechless when he opened his mouth. He grunted for a long time before he smiled embarrassedly and said, "Marty, the Lord... the Lord is ashamed!"

"Forget it, you can't blame you for this." Yang Feng, who came to his senses, sighed lightly, "Mr. Xia, go back to do business. This time, the people in Hongfutong suffered heavy losses, and those Zhejiang merchants came to take advantage of the situation to rob, and things became more and more interesting. But is it really that easy to get Li in this fire? Hehe..."

Listening to Yang Feng's sneer, Xia Dayan felt a chill in his heart for some reason. He intuitively felt that the Zhejiang businessmen who came to take advantage of the situation may lose their rice this time.

At this time, there were many chambers of commerce in the Ming Dynasty, but in terms of financial resources, it was the most important to Zhejiang merchants. They built guild halls all over the country, and there was also one in Xiamen. After leaving Hong Mansion with a man surnamed Bi and his companions, they came to Zhejiang merchants here.

After the club, the maids came down to a quiet courtyard. After the maids sat down, they brought hot water and towels to wash their faces before they brought hot tea.

The man named Bi breathed a sigh of relief after taking a sip of tea before saying to everyone: "I wonder what you think about today's affairs?"

The thin middle-aged man said disdainfully: "In the past, he always rumored that the three sons of the Hong family were so great, but today they were just like this. They were just a false reputation."

"Isn't that good?" Another man wearing a green lake robe smiled and said, "Are you letting us control such a person when he arrives in our field? As long as the boy from the Hong family arrives in Hangzhou, we have a hundred ways to deal with him. In less than a month, we can ensure that he can spit out everything in his stomach."

"I can't do it too much." The thin man shook his head and said, "Although the Hong family was seriously injured this time, according to my estimate, the old fox Hong Futong will not even leave any back-up. I guess they will make a comeback in a few years."

"I don't think so!" The man surnamed Bi pondered: "After Yang Feng lifted the sea ban in Fujian this year, the maritime trade has become more and more prosperous, causing merchants from all over the Fusang and Southeast Asia to come here to do business. Haven't you noticed that Xiamen has become prosperous now?"

"yes!"

Everyone nodded, and the man wearing a green long gown agreed: "Three years ago, I came to Xiamen. At that time, Xiamen was quite simple and could not be compared with our Hangzhou. But after yesterday I found that Xiamen is much more prosperous now, especially their wharf has been expanded several times, which is even more spacious than ours. This is really a surprise."

Someone next to him smiled and said, "Old Mo, aren't you talking nonsense? If it weren't for the big change in Xiamen, the Chamber of Commerce wouldn't have let us come here to make up the Hong family and the others."

"Yes!" The man surnamed Bi echoed and sighed softly: "But when I saw him today, I found that although the boy from the Hong family was not good, Old Man Hong was not simple. We can take over their shops, but those paths that are spread throughout Fujian are not so easy to take down."

Everyone stopped talking after hearing this. Although the Hong family and the other five companies borrowed more than 5 million taels of silver from them in many stores, they would use these stores to exchange them once they could not pay it back. But everyone knows that the most valuable ones are not those stores, but the people in charge of the stores.

The shopkeepers and relationship networks of all over the world who have been in Jingying stores for many years are the most precious wealth, otherwise what is the use of having a shop alone? The purpose of these people here this time is not only to accept those shops, but also the shopkeepers and shopkeepers of those shops. This is their purpose this time. Judging from today's contact, Hong Futong, the old fox, is not an easy person to deal with, and has been pretending to be stupid.

Just when they were feeling the situation in Hong Anque made them see a turning point, which led to the fact that they used their relationship to help Hong Anque leave Xiamen.

The man surnamed Bi pondered for a while, his face became gloomy and unstable: "We are going to go tomorrow. If Old Man Hong is no longer tactful, we can try to visit the Marquis of Jiangning and Marquis of Yang!"

"Visit him?"

Everyone was shocked. You should know that Yang Feng is now in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the circle of literati and merchants. Now the man named Bi actually said he wanted to visit him. What is he trying to do?
