"A small impatience will mess up a big plan. We have big things to do, how can we act emotionally?" Wang Haoli shook his head decisively, his eyes becoming darker, "I am a little worried that the court has discovered something about what Feng Keng did in Yongping Mansion.
It’s impossible for the imperial court not to know what he did, and even though we may not be sure that we did it after this person was attacked by us, he will definitely think in that direction, or even lead him in that direction..."
Du Fu and Zheng Sizhong both nodded slightly. If it were them, they would have guided in this direction regardless of whether there was evidence or not. Anyway, even if they were wrong, it would not matter if they made more false accusations.
"Our scent-smelling sect is developing very well in Gyeonggi Province. Senior Sister Zhang's incense hall in the city has begun to take shape. The counties in the suburbs of Beijing are also in a good situation after the Mongolian invasion last year. This is a good opportunity for us to expand and attract followers.
, I'm worried that if Feng Keng comes to the capital and focuses his main energy on us, it will be a bit tricky."
Wang Haoli was much more thoughtful than his subordinates. He knew that his father was playing a big game, otherwise he would not have sent him to Gyeonggi.
The pond in Yongping Mansion was still too shallow, so it was only temporary for his brothers. He estimated that his two brothers would have to go out sooner or later, and the Shandong side would have to ask for cloth.
The other is Shanxi. Outside the city walls of Shanxi, there is a large group of Bailian sect members who have fled from the mainland to Fengzhou and Tucheng. They now live together with the Tumut people and the Ordos people. Although they are slightly different from the Wenxiang sect,
Different paths lead to the same goal, and my father intends to open up this lineage and become the best support for Wenxiang's lineage.
In this way, from Shanxi to Beizhi Gyeonggi and then to Shandong, almost the entire northern part of Beidi is included. As for the believers on the South Side, to be honest, Wang Haoli is not very optimistic about them. They are too lazy and most of them have no
The courage and perseverance to devote oneself to the dead mother are far less than those of the believers in the north.
Of course, Wang Haoli has not yet had the idea of rebeling directly. According to his father's words, he should accumulate strength and wait for the right time. Without the right time, everything will be in vain.
His father did not say what Tianshi was, but he looked to the south, which surprised Wang Haoli.
He thought that his father would think that the Mongols and Jurchens would be at the right time to fight against each other, and they would fight all the way to the capital just like last year. If the Mongols defeated the imperial army more severely and the foundation of the Wenxiang Sect was deeper,
It may not be possible to cause trouble, but what does it mean to look to the south? Could there be any surprises to the south?
"Then how should we deal with the eldest son's intention?" Du Fu also found it difficult.
"Let's observe first. The land of Gyeonggi is not as good as Yongping Mansion. He has so much energy to deal with us. Just being in the capital city alone is enough for him to have a headache. He was born in a noble family, but he also got the status of a civil servant.
The noble gentry is the two major forces in this capital city. Since he can enjoy the resources of both parties, how should he deal with the interests of these two parties involved? "
Wang Haoli's slender eyes had a more stern expression, "As long as he doesn't put so much energy on us, we will have a chance."
*******
"It's open, it's open!"
A group of people surrounded the desk, shouting constantly, slapping their thighs, staring with red eyes, and roaring in despair, just waiting for the large white porcelain bowl on the desk to be opened.
"Three, five, six, big!"
Some people cheered excitedly, while others were furious or extremely depressed...
The scattered silver and copper coins placed around were collected and taken away, leaving only sighs and sighs.
The man in gray clothes who came in from the outside glanced at the two men who were still sighing, frowned, and shouted in a low voice: "Cao Er! Lu San!"
The two of them raised their heads, and there was a hint of panic, but then they returned to normal. They no longer had the previous feverish energy, and ran over in a flash, "Brother Jing!"
The man in gray clothes named Brother Jing shook his head, and the two of them quickly followed him out of the casino and walked to the river.
Looking at the dark grain hoards one after another on the other side of the river, the man in gray took a long time to say: "I heard that the new Prime Minister will be arriving soon."
"Oh? The imperial court is about to fill a vacancy, where did it come from?" A look of surprise appeared on the lean and strong knife-faced face, "It has been delayed for so long, why did you choose to fill the vacancy at this time?"
"The end of the Beijing inspection is a big plan. It has been delayed for so long, so it's time to make up for it." Brother Jing put his hands on his waist, thoughtfully, "The new Prime Minister came from Yongping Mansion. We don't know him.
But he is very famous in the capital city. Have you ever heard of Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan?"
"Ah? Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan?" Another fat man with a round face and black face said in surprise: "Of course I have heard that the son of Shenwu General Feng Tang lives in Fengcheng Hutong. I heard that he also goes to the west to judge wars.
, and then I entered the Hanlin Academy, and I didn’t hear much noise this year, so why did I go to Yongping Mansion again?”
"Humph, I went to Yongping Mansion to become a magistrate, and I came back to be the Prime Minister of Shuntian Mansion in just one year." Brother Jing rubbed his chin, "Xiao Feng Xiuzan did a great job in Yongping Mansion. He defeated the Mongols.
, he also accepted 100,000 refugees from the north of Shuntian Prefecture, and won the trust of the court, but he came to Shuntian Prefecture, hehe, can he bear it?"
"Brother Jing, are you worried..." Dao Tiao Lian obviously wanted to be more cautious, and said in a deep voice: "As long as our taxes come here last autumn, there won't be much difference, and no one can find out..."
"Cao Er, are you telling the truth?" Brother Jing sneered and glanced at the other party.
"Brother Jing, if the imperial court really wants to be serious, it won't be able to withstand the investigation anywhere. I just say that we can still handle the random inspections. At least we have many friends and partners who are not, and they can't watch anything happen to us, right?
?" Dao Tiao Lian, who was called Cao Er, said calmly.
Brother Jing retracted his gaze and looked at the quiet river, and sighed, "I hope, everyone knows what's going on here. I hope that Xiao Feng Xiuzhan can also abide by the rules. That Master Zhizhong has given
We have caused a lot of trouble and finally settled down. Here comes another Fu Cheng. Who the hell can withstand such trouble?"
With a sneer, Cao Er said disdainfully: "Brother Jing, although Mr. Mei seems to be aloof and difficult to deal with, it has finally been settled. I don't believe there can be anyone in this world who doesn't love money? Xiao Xiao
What happened to Feng Xiuzuan? Their mansion was newly expanded the year before last, and it cost a lot of money. How can he and his father afford it with their salary?"
"Yes, Brother Cao is right. The worst he can do is spend another sum of money. We haven't been doing this all these years. Which official would feel bad about money or his colleagues?" Then Lu San became excited.
"Perhaps Xiao Feng Xiuzan is easier to get along with than Mei Zhizhong. Besides, Brother Jing, we are all just soldiers and generals below. There are so many big shots above. It's your turn to worry about me? They eat meat, and we
It’s not just a sip of soup on the side, and I have to work hard to get this sip of soup.”
Brother Jing shook his head, "Xiao Feng Xiuzuan is only twenty years old, and he is sitting in the position of Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture. Do you think he will be dazzled by a few taels of silver? Then I'm afraid he won't be able to sit in this position. Let me ask.
After that, in Yongping Mansion, he directed a group of Shanxi businessmen around, as well as the famous Haitong Bank in the capital city. It is said that the Feng family also invested in it. Such people are obviously pursuing an official career. How could they
Impressed by a few taels of silver?"
These words made Cao Er and Lu San suddenly tremble, "Brother Jing, what do you mean..."
"Let's seize the time and wipe the shit off our butts first. Our family is not doing this grain storage matter. From Tongzhou, Yangcun to Tianjin Wei, even if he has suspicions, even if he wants to investigate, then
No one can take care of it in a year or two? As long as we clean up our hands and feet, he can't find fault, and he can only find fault with others. I don't believe that he can still investigate all the grains in the warehouse? This
It shouldn’t be their job at Shuntian Mansion, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still on top.”
Brother Jing smiled coldly: "If you pull all the strings, if he really wants to investigate, how many people will be touched? He also has teachers, classmates, relatives and friends in the capital city, so he is not afraid of betrayal and separation. His father is still serving as the governor of Liaodong, so he is not afraid.
Someone from the imperial court stuck his father’s neck?”
"Yeah, it doesn't matter what we do. I heard that the Yangcun side was even more ruthless. Now the warehouse is full of sand and soil, and only the surface layer is there. Tianjin Wei side, I heard that North Korea suffered a major disaster last year.
The Wei army and the cavalry soldiers over there worked together to resell them to North Korea. One stone of rice could be exchanged for two Korean maidservants. Didn't you see that in the brothel over there in Tianjin, there are now a lot of Korean girls?" Lu San
Grinning.
"Really?" Brother Jing was surprised.
He also knew that the Yangcun side was far away from the Tianjinwei side, and some people were more courageous, but it was a bit taboo to sell grain to North Korea. Once he went to sea, whether he went to North Korea or Jianzhou Jurchen
Over there, who can tell clearly?
"How can it be false?" Lu San became more and more proud, "One of my brothers is a soldier there. He is timid and doesn't dare to get involved in things that cost his head, but everyone is doing it. If he doesn't
Sooner or later, I will lose my head if I go in, so I can only turn a blind eye and collect some money, but I don’t dare to participate in person. There is a lot of trouble over there. If several companies join forces, I have to doubt their
How many grains of grain are there in the Beijing warehouse next to me?"
"How did they pass the inspection conducted by the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Ministry of Household Affairs at the end of last year?" Brother Jing asked in a deep voice.
"Brother Jing, this is not easy. If you join forces with those grain merchants, you have already figured out which warehouse you want to check. I can stuff you with a lot of new grain overnight. It's all new grain."
." Lu San glanced at Brother Jing disapprovingly, feeling that what Brother Jing asked was just a layman's talk, "Besides, there are really a lot of random checks. It can be seen from the number of people they come to. It's not just checking.
You also need to check the quantity, moisture, rats and insects. If you delay a little bit in time, it will be the next day and everything can be done for you."
