Chapter 309: The ministers mistook me!(2/2)

He is not on the death list. As long as local people like him don't seek death, no one will touch them.

"They in Guangzhou have already run our bank to the point of collapse. Now most of the transactions in Guangdong have been converted into gold, silver and copper coins. Those who go to sea for trade and merchants do not need to exchange for precious coins. They are like a group of people.

The wolf had just tasted blood and had been happy for a few days. It was strange that he could hold back everything he wanted to return to the original state! By getting Yun Wen over, he could use him as a banner to coax others to continue resisting. After all, they were damned.

Emperor Gao is far away, and as long as they can be blocked, they can continue their happy life.

It doesn't matter if you can't stop it.

If you can stop it, it's a day.

If you really can't stop it, the worst possible scenario is to get on a boat and go to sea to escape.

The He family has long had smuggling bases on several small islands off the coast of Guangdong, even though they were not law-abiding before.

They have always had trade with Nanyang, and they have relied on this since time immemorial."

The little princess said while drinking an iced drink.

She is very sensitive to this issue. During the chaos of the past six months, the bank has suffered huge losses, and she is getting angry seeing the loss reports from various places!

Peking, Xi'an, and even Kaifeng are not serious.

After all, even if the guards raised troops, they still had to give her face. No matter what, she was the sister of these vassal kings. Besides, Yang Feng did not rob or damage the bank.

However, banks in Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Susongchang suffered considerable losses.

Guangdong is the most serious.

After all, Fujian Ma He is still sensible.

In Guangdong, it is mainly the local tycoons headed by the He family. They have long had a deep hatred for the banks due to forced foreign exchange settlement and financial monopoly. The shopkeeper of the Guangzhou Bank was thrown into the Pearl River by them.

The gentry of Guangdong understand economics, and it is precisely because they understand economics that they understand how vicious financial monopoly and forced settlement of foreign exchange are to good countrymen like them who build bridges and roads.

And He Zhen was a typical figure who once had his head shaved. He was a big landowner who had farmed and studied for generations. He worked as an official in the salt field. When an anti-Yuan uprising broke out in the local area, he went to report it. Then he organized the landlords' armed forces and relied on constantly fighting for the Yuan Dynasty in the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty.

The rebel army that wiped out Guangdong grew in size, and eventually took control of Guangdong step by step. After Zhu Yuanzhang settled the north and began to care about Guangdong, he immediately surrendered sensibly to preserve the He family's foundation in Guangdong, although he was later gradually relieved of local control by Zhu Yuanzhang.

But the He family has always been the boss in Guangdong.

Even after his death, the He family was still a powerful leader in Guangdong.

Because they belong to the heirloom of farming and studying, the He Zhen family also has close contacts with Confucian scholars. He Zhen himself has friendship with Song Lian and even Fang Xiaoru.

As for smuggling...

It would be a miracle if the powerful people in Guangdong don’t do this!

"There are rare things to live in. No matter what happens afterwards, you must have something in your hand before you can bargain with the court. What else is more suitable than Yun Wen."

Zhu Di said calmly.

Indeed, they are reluctant to part with the good times that have begun. They want to continue to open overseas trade, continue to maintain gold and silver transactions, and stop forced settlement of foreign exchange, but there must be a bargaining chip for these.

When it comes to negotiation, you must be qualified to make an offer. How can you negotiate if you don’t have any leverage?

And Zhu Yunwen is the best bargaining chip.

Take Zhu Yunwen over, and then negotiate with the court. Anyway, they are high in the sky and the emperor is far away, and the court will not be able to deal with them in a short time. Give them some concessions, then they will hand over Zhu Yunwen. If they continue to force foreign exchange settlement and the court monopolizes overseas trade,

Then they will support Zhu Yunwen to resist. Anyway, not only them, but also the Fujian and Annan local factions have this idea at this time. Why can't they give it a try?

"They are too naive. Zhu Yunwen is just a bargaining chip. The real bargaining chip is strength. Only those with strength are qualified to negotiate. Just like the king, we can sit down and talk about any issue calmly, because the king has this strength, but they have

What kind of strength do they have and what requirements do they have to make to the court?

Rely on Wang Bi?

Wang Bi did have an army of 200,000.

But they were officers and soldiers of the imperial court, not slaves of the Wang family. He dared to resist the imperial court, and his generals were the first to tie him up.

He Rong's navy?

There is also Qi Bin's navy in Fusang, Zhang Rong's navy in Dengzhou, and Mahe's navy in Fujian. Who can he defeat with his little navy?"

Yang Feng said.

Then he looked at Zhu Di with deep meaning.

"Ambassador, Xiao Wang still has some old favors for Ma He. I think he already knew about Xiao Wang's visit to Beijing by now and will go north to accuse him soon."

Zhu Di said with a smile.

"Let's use merit to compensate for crime. He didn't receive a reward for his merit in going to America, so this time it will be offset."

Yang Feng said.
