Chapter 165 Sun Yuanhua's distress
Chapter 165 Sun Yuanhua's Disaster
Chen Xie needed a horse, so he was very polite to Wu Xiang, and even to the traitor Fan Yongdou. He had to find a reason, which was the interests. Wu Xiang came out this time in the name of purchasing weapons, and he would not miss having fun even when he arrived in Dengzhou. Of course, someone was responsible for the transaction. Wu Xiang moved directly into Chunxianglou and left for three days.
Fan Yongdou worked much harder. After two days in the market, Liu Qing visited the door and took the verbal agent after a conversation. This agreement has a premise that Chen Xie must be provided with 1,000 war horses every year. If this number is not reached, the agreement will automatically expire.
After talking with Fan Yong, Liu Qing immediately came to see Chen Xie. At this time, Chen Xie was in the study, and the little maid Xiaoxuan, who was bought, was irritated by Chen Xie's side. Her weak body was fanning her hard, and she was not happy to not let her do it. Chen Xie had to do whatever she wanted. This girl was very sensible. She went to school to learn to read during the day, and when she came back, she ran to Chen Xie to show her best. If another maid did this, she would have been driven out of the mansion by two big maids, and she was an exception.
Liu Qing came in, Chen Xie smiled and looked at him and said, "Is the talk finished?"
Xiaoxuan immediately poured tea and moved the chair. Liu Qing sat down and said, "Boss, I always think that Fan Yongdou is not all about American goods. How much sales can he have? In the past two days, he bought a lot of wheat and sweet potatoes and took them away. In addition, he rented a house in the market and left a few people, saying that he would not be able to go back to the two sides in the future."
Speaking of this, Chen Xie smiled. He sat up straight, picked up the teacup and signaled: "Fan Yongdou is an off-the-mouth businessman. Do you think he is a regular businessman? He must have done a lot of things that violate the ban. I think he has nothing to do with Hou Jin."
Liu Qing's eyes immediately rounded and stood up and said, "Since that's the case, it's time to stop dealing with him. It's better not to earn money from such a traitor." Chen Xie made a gesture and signaled him to sit down. Seeing that Chen Xie was calm, Liu Qing slowly sat down.
"Why don't you earn money if you have money? Even if they leave people in Dengzhou, they can find out the news. So what?" Chen Xie spoke slowly, as if he was talking about something very ordinary. Liu Qing was stunned at first, and then he realized it. Yes, isn't the core of Dengzhou the boss Mr. Chen? Nothing else is the problem.
"Boss. You have to bring more people around you in the future." Liu Qing immediately seized this opportunity and expressed his thoughts.
"Me? It's okay. I have something to do with this." Chen Xie still nodded with a smile, approving Liu Qing's loyalty.
You know, Liu Qing is now Chen Xie's economic chief. In the military, Wang Qinian can basically explain things and can handle them properly. There are also a group of young people who are training. After waiting for three or five years, Chen Xie will not feel that his talents are not good. In fact, this wish is beautiful. After three or five years, his power will expand and his territory will still be short of people.
In the Ming Dynasty, the biggest problem was the lack of talents, and Chen Xie did not have a good solution to this problem.
"So master, where are the people left by Fan Yongdou?" Liu Qing didn't want to take over power, but was showing his ability. Of course, Chen Xie understood what he meant in his heart and waved his hand: "I will do this." Liu Qing knew who would do it, but he had to pretend not to know.
Liu Qing was also very busy and didn't stay too long, so he went there in a hurry. When Fan Yongdou left, Liu Qing went to see him off in person.
The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind continued. Chen Xie thought about the development of quietness, but he could not withstand others' concerns about him. This time, the person who thought about Chen Xie was Governor Sun Yuanhua. After taking office, Sun Yuanhua planned to show his strength, but he soon discovered a problem, there was no craftsman.
The official Sun Yuanhua likes to do something, especially building cities and casting cannons. This is a technocratic hobby, cannons be understood, is it necessary to build cities? Sun Yuanhua is very serious about doing these two things, and even brought a group of Portuguese to help. When the preparations were done, a batch of silver was also made.
At this time, the problem came. The governor could not find the craftsman. If you want a blacksmith, no! If you want a bricklayer, no! So where have people gone? You must know that Dengzhou is a military town, and there have always been craftsmen. If you don’t have a bricklayer, you can still understand it. The blacksmith is not a craftsman? The root of the problem was quickly found. The people below found it clearly after checking it. The craftsmen ran away. Where did they go? They went to the workshop of the genius doctor. Sun Yuanhua was stunned and wanted to find trouble for Chen Xie, so the people below quickly stopped him.
Why stop it? It won’t be possible not to stop it! The shareholders of these workshops are all local merchants, and they have a little bit of property, but they are not left behind. Chen Xie has too many workshops, and everyone is rushing to invest in every workshop. As long as they have shares, it is like picking up money. No one will miss the opportunity to pick up silver, right?
At this time, Sun Yuanhua looked at Chen Xie carefully and found that what he had to face was not a military general, but more than half of the gentry, local tyrants, and huge merchants under the entire Denglai rule. How could he play this? No, he couldn't just ruin his hobbies. Sun Yuanhua had to give him an order and let Chen Xie see him.
As a result, the order was gone and I quickly got an answer: "Chen Xie is sick!" Sun Yuanhua was so angry that he gave this reply directly! He cursed on the spot: "You guy! How dare you bully me!" But he didn't have a good way. Even if Chen Xie, a military general, was not doing his job properly, was busy with business all day long, he, as a governor, did not have a good way to deal with others.
To talk about the reason, it is very simple. If you want to deal with him by the official, you can basically give up. This general was decided by the emperor himself. Sun Yuanhua knew about the affairs of the court. Chen Xie had to give him tens of thousands of taels of silver to reward him. He would not be too much to give him a wife and son. At that time, the cabinet was stunned by the money. If there was no money, what should I do? In the end, His Majesty proposed to give him a general, and then threw him over to the supervisor, and sent him to Chen Xie. Therefore, the cabinet and the Ministry of War acted very quickly, and there was no word in the six departments. All the military generals in the world handled this way, and the Minister of Revenue could wake up laughing when they were asleep.
This road doesn't work and offend too many people. Then change the idea. Catch his business and stumbling on him. This idea has been automatically broken before it has started to extend. It's very simple, but there are still too many people who offend them. Now there are so many people who make money by American goods. Unless Sun Yuanhua doesn't want to be this governor, otherwise, the local tyrants and evil gentry in Dengzhou can overturn him, and why are you still trying to cut off your wealth?
Cut off his money and food? This trick has always been the best, but it is a joke when he is used on Chen Xie. If he is a rich man, he will starve to death. This trick is even worse, so he will be extremely tough.
After thinking about it, the staff members thought about it and thought it was impossible, but there was no good way. What should I do? The ones that were hard will definitely not work, so let’s get the ones that are soft. How can I get the ones that are soft? This guy can’t see it, what can you do? Finally, everyone discussed an opinion for the governor’s reference, that is, to find Zhang Yao to talk about this matter.
Zhang Yao takes official duties very seriously. She comes to work every morning. It’s hot in the afternoon, so it’s understandable to rest at home. Sun Yuanhua, who is desperate, has to go to find Zhang Yao. He has to visit him, it’s afternoon.
Zhang Yao's afternoon was very exciting. People came to deliver artificial ice cubes every day. There was a workshop for making ice cubes in the city, which was also the business of the genius doctor. Drinking iced drinks, the maid fanned her fan, reading books in her hand, and the water flowing on the top of the pavilion was gurgling, it was so cool!
I thought I had picked up a nephew on the way back, but now I have received a great reward. The old man moved out of Ninghaizhou and settled in Dengzhou. He worked hard for a lifetime. In just two years, the cellar at home was not enough, and there were too many wooden shelves for silver. The house had been renovated and expanded, and the young maid and servant also bought more than a dozen. The Zhang family was prosperous and prosperous in Zhang Yao's hands. The Zhang family in Ninghaizhou has come many times to beg him to go back and recognize his ancestors, and even picked him up for the old man. Not to mention the Zhou family, he wanted to buy the shares in Zhang Yao's hands with silver. Zhou was so tight that he would not sell a single share.
When Sun Yuanhua arrived, Zhang Yao was not surprised at all. The military patrol masters were not vegetarians, and every move in Dengzhou City had been reported. As for Chen Xie's dig for the corner of the government, Zhang Yao didn't care at all. Those craftsmen, who lived in the official craftsmen, could not be considered a life for people. Grassroots officials took Chen Xie's money to sell craftsmen, which was also called a matter? Dengzhou Camp wanted military weapons and could just place an order directly to the workshop opened by Chen Xie. The guarantee was fast and good, and there was absolutely guarantee at the point.
Zhang Yao’s dissatisfaction with Sun Yuanhua was well known to everyone in Dengzhou. An outsider brought a group of Liaodong bandits to Dengzhou and first excluded the generals, and then excluded the gang generals. It would be fine if Zhang Kedao was too big. Anyway, that guy had no popularity, so he excluded Chen Xie. Go and inquire about what treatment do those Liaodong soldiers treat at Dengzhou merchants now?
Of course, when Shangguan comes to the door, he must be etiquette. Things about face must be maintained well, this is the rule.
When changing clothes, Zhou was still complaining: "This Governor Sun is so bullying. Master, you can't let him control it." It's normal for Zhou to have this attitude. Now she saw Chen Xie, who was closer than his own son. She was quite satisfied with everything, but the marriage was not finished for a long time, and Zhou always said it every day.
"Women, do you have to care about these things?" Zhang Yao dismissed them rudely. This is a matter of principle. Of course, just say, don't take it seriously. You will be stupid if you take it seriously! Zhou was not angry, smiled, and put on his own clothes.
Not long after Sun Yuanhua, Zhang Yao came out. Sun Yuanhua, who was anxious, took the initiative to stand up and speak. (To be continued...)
