Wu Zheng was choked and said annoyed: "Okay, then let's talk about why you promised the Northern Shang Dynasty. Can you tell me that I sent a navy to help them suppress bandits? Do you know that this is what I have put in a lot of effort..."

Wu Zheng stopped halfway through his speech.

Mo Zhinian's face changed, and he quickly realized a possibility that Wang Deren was appointed by Wu Zheng as a pirate.

He became nervous and stomped his feet and regretted, "I am confused and should have thought of this step long ago. If I had known it earlier, I would negotiate with the North Merchants in another way. Originally, I wanted to open a money shop on the back in the name of the Chamber of Commerce. In this way, it can not only increase the income, but also lay eyes and ears for the prince on the back, and at least, I can know the situation in the north."

Wu Zheng's eyes flashed, and his face suddenly calmed down, "I am impatient, Mr. Mo is responsible."

Don’t be obsessed with talking, and can’t adapt to Wu Zheng’s spear change.

Seeing that Mo Zhinian had already realized the truth from his faults, Wu Zheng said, "Don't be surprised, Mr. Mo, it's not that I don't want to suppress the bandits, but I don't want to suppress the bandits so quickly. I originally planned to let Wang Deren fatten up a little more, and then let Zhang Mingzhen go to suppress the bandits. This will not only attack the supply of materials in the north, but also save more money to supplement the financial department's deficit."

As soon as Mo Zhinian knew the truth, he realized why Wu Zheng got angry. "It's because I'm too good at it, please punish me."

Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "Okay, I'm blamed me for not hiding this from you. But you reminded me that we really need to set up some people in the north to serve as eyes and ears."

Mo Zhinian said: "So, does the prince agree with the old man using the money shop to set up eyeliners?"

"No, the money house is too dangerous. If something happens, it will inevitably affect the overall situation. At that time, the Qing court will seize it and we will not be able to afford to lose."

"What the prince means..."

"The hidden lines are still arranged according to the bank's layout, but the bank's hidden lines are not in the bank's bank, and the bank's employees do not participate in the collection and exchange of intelligence, but use the bank as a place for intelligence exchange." Wu Zheng thought, "Even if it is exposed, it is just that the depositors are using the bank's bank, and the Qing court has no reason to seal the bank."

Mo Zhinian thought for a while and said, "There are the most suitable information to collect restaurants, tea shops, Qinglou, and guijians. Some shops in the Mo family can be used by the prince in Jiangbei, but they are only a few, and they need to be purchased."

Wu Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just buy it, it's just not too loud to avoid arousing doubts."

"Yes." Mo Zhinian replied, "I don't know that the prince has a suitable candidate in his heart. I can also discuss with him to buy and hand over the Mo family shop."

Wu Zheng couldn't remember the right person for a while.

Mo Zheng saw Wu Zheng hesitating and said, "If the prince does not have a predetermined candidate, why not... let Qing'er be in charge temporarily?"

Wu Zheng looked up sensitively at Mo Zhinian and said nothing.

Mo Zhinian explained: "Qing'er is the prince's person after all, so there is no need to doubt his loyalty to the prince. The prince must be clear about Qing'er's ability. Besides, she comes from the Mo family and takes over shops in various parts of the Mo family, it is not a problem..."

Wu Zheng just listened quietly.

Mo Zhinian finally said what he really wanted to say, "Prince, I really have selfish intentions. Seeing Qing'er live a hard life, it will give her more opportunities to meet the prince. It is also my Aye who can do the only thing I can do for her."

Wu Zheng thought for a while and said, "Yi Qing has a great talent, I originally had another appointment... Well, let her take on this matter for the time being, and then make a decision when there is a suitable person."

Don’t be obsessed with joy and bowed, saying, “Thank you, Prince.”

Wu Zheng sighed lightly: "Old Mo, it's not because of my ruthless love and mercy, but Yiqing's movements. Mr. Mo should know the relationship."

Mo Zhinian sighed, "I understand, I know the severity of this matter."

"Although the decline of the Ming Dynasty has no direct relationship with the Ming Dynasty, the royal family of more than one million is a heavy burden for any country. I do not want this to happen again, nor do I want my descendants to be harmed by the people... Therefore, I can only feel wronged and cleared."

"I understand."

"I have always believed that Mr. Mo is a strong man, so I would like to take care of him."

"The prince is so serious."

"Okay. Then let's discuss how to deal with the sudden bandit suppression this time."

Mo Zhengnian said: "Although Wang Deren was sent by the prince, I personally think that this time the bandit suppression is indeed necessary. This is not only beneficial to the northern merchants, but also to strengthen confidence in the southern merchants and foreign merchants. Just imagine, we did what even the Qing court in the north can do. How much beneficial impact will this have on Jiangnan merchants? Prince, silver is innocent, the key is to look at the person holding the silver... This is what you said."

Wu Zheng glanced at Mo Obsessed, "Okay... Lao Mo, have you learned to use my words to block my mouth?"

Mo Zhinian laughed dryly and said, "In fact, who said it doesn't matter. What's important is that it's right? Besides, the prince has ordered that the chamber of commerce will launch a business war against the North Merchants. No matter what, the government will provide them with convenience, right?"

Wu Zheng said seriously: "Do you know that once the bandits are suppressed, the merchant ships heading north will have no obstacles. If you want to block the waters to prevent the Qing court from obtaining scarce supplies, it will be ineffective. Will the Chamber of Commerce be sure to defeat the North Shangs supported by the Qing court? At the same time, the Qing court will also get Western firearms imported from foreign businesses because of this. Have you ever thought about this?"

Mo Zhinian suddenly smiled strangely and said, "I have really thought about it. But on the other hand, Prince, this time the bandit suppression is naturally a must-win. How much does it win? We have the final say? Besides, after the bandit suppression, pirates sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, appearing and growing again, which is common, and it has always been..."

Wu Zheng frowned and said, "Are you talking about it? Is this a bad idea to the reputation of the General's Mansion? As you said, this time the bandit suppression was not only dealing with the Qing court in the north, but also the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and those Hu merchants. The foreign merchants were staring at it. No one was fool. Once this was seen through, the reputation of the General's Mansion would be ruined because of this!"

Mo Jie Nian smiled and said, "But Lao and the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce have never asked the prince, nor have they promised the North Chamber of Commerce that this group of pirates must be completely eradicated. At the request of the Chamber of Commerce and the people, the general's mansion has already completed the best of benevolence and righteousness. The result is not important. If it can be achieved immediately, it will be a good thing on the cake. Who among the people will care? Three or two months later, the pirates will rekindle?"
