Chapter 750: The World Hee Hee (Part 1)
.Silence told them that this is a problem that cannot be solved by military means, because the Quzhou Silver Mine is currently completely aside from the imperial court, and the state of stealing and digging is in line with the greatest interests of all local tyrants in Quzhou. Of course, this is based on the damage to the interests of the imperial court.
In the face of naked interests, preaching is useless, etiquette is useless, integrity is useless, loyalty is filial piety, integrity is useless, and even force is useless to suppress the enemy... The only thing that can defeat the interests is the interests themselves.
Chen Si thought so, but he would never say so, because the relationship between the two parties is far from heart to heart, and a guy like Wang Bengu who holds the "sage of the saint" will definitely not accept his theory.
But the silence had a way to make him surrender and suppress the matter in Quzhou. He started to say: "This year is the year of Yichou, Chen, Xu, Chou and Wei, and it is the year for you to pass the test again."
Everyone looked distressed and said, "What the Lord said is that this year is the year of external inspection, and we are all worried about this." As they said, they pleased each other and said silently, "I hope you can help us with a few more words, and the lower officials will wait for the inscriptions and five inner circles..."
"I will definitely speak for you if I have the chance." Silently nodded, and said with a wry smile: "But I am afraid that if I don't ask me, I will be helpless." As he said that, he looked at Wang Bengu and said: "I heard that the court intends to include the governors and governors from all over the country this year. Wang Zhongcheng has a close relationship with Beijing. Can I confirm this matter for me?"
Wang Bengu nodded depressedly and said, "Of course, I can't make mistakes. It is said that it was Gao Suqing's idea. He said that although the governor was named a Beijing official, he was actually the head of local military and political affairs. He had a heavy responsibility and should be the top priority of external plans. He should not only observe it with major plans." As he said, he said with a sad face, "Isn't he idle? The rules that have not changed for many years, how can he change it?" According to his performance within the past three years, he must be incompetent. If he was deposed during external investigation, his career would be over.
"Anyway, it's a foregone conclusion, and external investigation is imminent. You should do your own thing.
"Silence sighed softly.
"The Lord is clear about the meaning." Jiang Yi, the governor of Xijiang, responded: "This Quzhou is the death talisman of our Xijiang officials. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, it may be a big problem for everyone's career." As the saying goes, you can know the elegant meaning when you hear the sound of the strings. No one here is a fool, and you understand the purpose of saying this silently.
Siren looked at Wang Bengu again and said, "What do you think of Wang Zhongcheng?"
Wang Bengu said with a bitter face: "That's the case, how can it be done?"
"Don't worry." Chen Si smiled faintly, "There is a saying that 'There must be a road before the car arrives at the mountain' Let's go to Quzhou to take a look. Maybe there is any good way."
After hearing Chen Si's words, the officials who were already full of hope were immediately overwhelmed by cold water and were all depressed... After a long time of trouble, he had no idea. So what's the point of going to Quzhou?
Seeing the atmosphere in the cabin, he scolded silently: "Everyone is cheered up, can't you think about it? Is there a long way to go away from Quzhou, and everyone goes back to think about it, maybe they will come up!" Everyone disagreed, and had no choice but to suppress the people to death, so they had to get up and leave one after another.
Although Sun Ying and Tao Dalin felt that silence must have been plotting, they were naturally not able to speak now when they were observing politics. They grinned with him, and after a moment of exchange, they followed the crowd out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A day later, the grand fleet arrived at the ancient city of Quzhou, which is known as the "bridge of four provinces and the head of the five routes". The Chinese sages and gentry in the city had been waiting on the dock. After the grand welcome ceremony, they moved silently into the prefect's office.
In the following days, Lord Jingli's performance was very slack. He first said that he had been resting for three days on the journey, and then solemnly went to the Kong Family South Temple to worship. He visited the Go fairy land, Lanke Mountain, Sanqu Stone Forest with a unique landform, the blue waves and beautiful Jiulong Lake. He had a great time with the accompaniment of officials and local Shishen.
While wandering around the mountains and rivers, indulging in poetry and wine, time flies, and half a month passes in a blink of an eye. If it were normal, the officials in Xijiang would not feel anything... If you want to play, just play. Let's accompany you to eat and drink for free, and you can still see the scenery. Where can I find such a beauty? But now it is not as good as before. The outside world has begun in April, and now it has been February. I am no longer here.
After privately chatting with me, they decided to remind the adults. So when they returned from a trip the next day, Wang Bengu stopped the silence and bowed deeply, "I've had fun and had a break. Should we do the serious business?"
"Serious business?" Chen Si stretched and said, "What are the serious business?"
Wang Bengu was helpless and said, "Isn't it to solve the mining chaos in Quzhou?" He said, "Did you forget?"
"Of course I didn't forget." Chen Si looked at him without any shame and said, "Didn't I ask you, Jiang Yi and the others to find a way? Did you think it out? If so, we will do it immediately."
Wang Bengu was so depressed that he wanted to hold his head over him, and suppressed his anger and said, "The lower official is incompetent. If he had an idea, he would not have been in chaos for a year and he would be helpless."
"If you can't think of it, keep thinking about it." Silently ignored his face that was so swollen that he turned into a pig's liver, and said irresponsibly: "As long as you have a deep skill, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle..." He said with a smile: "If you believe in yourself, you must be able to do it." Then he ignored him and went into the house to take a shower and have fun.
When he met such an irresponsible Shangguan, Wang Bengu said that I had been in trouble for eight lifetimes, so he had to turn around helplessly, discuss with his officials day and night, racking his brains but gaining nothing, and was very anxious. Just when there was nothing to do, the following reported that a person who claimed to be "Shao Daxia" asked for advice, saying that he could help the government solve this dilemma.
Wang Bengu didn't want to see any heroes in the world, saying 'See you,' but Jiang Yi spoke out and advised: "This hero Shao is not an ordinary person. He has a wild path and great ability. He can do many things that the government can't do."
"Just a liar," Wang Bengu said unbelievablely: "If he is really capable, why do the government do?"
"Don't believe it." Jiang Yi said: "Do you remember the mutiny of Zhenwu Camp in Nanjing last year?"
"Of course." Wang Bengu nodded, suddenly remembered and shouted: "It is said that he transported a ship of silver into Nanjing City to help Lord Jingli resolve the mutiny. I always thought the rumors were unreliable. Could this be true?"
"Of course it's true." Jiang Yi nodded and said, "It's all said that those silver comes from Quzhou..."
"So, this person is probably the thief who stole the silver mine?" Wang Bengu immediately glared and said, "Even if it is not, it has a direct relationship with them!" Then he slapped the table and said, "Come on, arrest him!"
"Sir, please rest," Jiang Yi quickly stopped him and said, "Since he comes alone, he must have some conspiracy; let alone our goal is to quell the rebellion, what's the use of arresting him?"
Wang Bengu held his face in a dark face for a long time before nodding and asked the man to come in. After a while, he saw the doorman picking up a handsome middle-aged man in Taoist robe. Who is that Shao Fang?
After seeing the governor, Shao Fang smiled and bowed, saying, "Grassiping the people to pay homage to Zhongcheng." But he had no intention of kneeling down, and he just stood so loudly, like a miracle.
Wang Bengu has a stereotyped personality and doesn't like this kind of bluffing guy the most, but now the situation is stronger than others, so he has to suppress his disgust in his heart and clasp his fists and said, "You are the hero Shao, so lucky."
"I dare not take it, I dare not take it." Shao Daxia said with a smile: "It is the luck of the Cao people to be able to meet the honest and honest Lord Zhongcheng who is famous all over the world."
Wang Bengu's face looked better, but he didn't want to talk to him: "What kind of help do you think you can help me?"
"How can I help if sir?" Shao Fang threw the question back and said.
"Ha, I'm not a small tone." Wang Bengu said with a slight smile: "I want to eliminate those mine tyrants, let the miners return to the official mine, honestly dig for the Ming Dynasty, and never go against the court." He said with a contemptuous snorting: "Can you do it?"
"Yes." Shao Fang said shamelessly: "I can help you talk, but you must give me a title."
'You just pretend.' Wang Bengu sneered in his heart, but he did the whole show, so he wrote a letter of appointment, appointing Shao Daxia as an envoy to negotiate matters related to silver mines. After writing the signature, he handed it to him and said, "Is that OK?"
"Sir, you're so good at writing... Shao Fang looked at the letter of appointment, scratched her head and smiled, "But those people just recognize the big red seal, and signatures are useless..."
Wang Bengu then took it back and used his governor's guard to leave a red seal on it. Shao Fang was about to take it, but Wang Bengu shrank his hand and stared at him and asked quietly, "Why should I believe you?"
"Is there any other way to believe me?" Shao Fang reached out and pinched the other end of the paper and said with a smile.
"You are arrogant." Wang Bengu said angrily.
"It's just true." Shao Fang's mouth drew a proud arc and whispered: "If you don't let go, I'll let it go..." The implication is, how do you end up?
Wang Bengu groaned and finally let go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shao Fang had been away for a few days. Just when Wang Bengu thought he was tricked by this liar, Shao Daxia brought back the negotiation results. The other party agreed to end the confrontation and restore the original state, but the government was not allowed to enter the mining area again. In return, they would pay official silver to Quzhou Prefecture regularly every year according to the average of the past fifty years.
After hearing what Shao Fang said, Wang Bengu was furious and wanted to push Shao Fang out and behead him. Jiang Yi hurriedly persuaded him, "If you kill him, you will be completely out of the question. How can we explain to the Lord?"
"I don't know if this person is lying to us.
"Wang Bengu groaned, "Who knew if he went to see those people?"
"Good question..." Although the sharp blade was put on, Shao Fang said without any panic: "To show sincerity, they are willing to offer the official silver that they owed last year..."
"Where is it?" That was a huge sum of nearly a hundred sons, and Wang Ben couldn't help but be in a tight position.
"It's far away in the sky, and it's near in front of you." Shao Fang smiled mysteriously and said, "Put these floor tiles, they said that the things are here."
Wang Bengu frowned and stared at him for a long time before waved his hand heavily and said, "Release!"
Then two personal soldiers came up, inserted their swords into the gap, and slowly pried up a floor tiles with difficulty, and a wooden board was revealed... Sure enough, Wang Bengu felt a chill behind him. After prying several pieces, he finally revealed a wooden box. His voice changed tone: "Open..." ", when he saw the lock, he slashed with knives, but the box was extremely strong, and it was useless to cut a few cuts.
"Save some effort." Shao Fang took out a key from her sleeve and said, "This is what they gave me."
A personal soldier took the key in doubt and inserted it into the keyhole. He heard, "Click, a crisp sound, and finally opened it... It was indeed a box of neatly packed silver ingots. The personal soldiers continued to open the floor tiles, and saw the light of day again in the wooden box. After opening it all, the study room became like a silver vault, blinding the eyes of many people.
The soldiers thought this scene was so handsome, and thought that it was indeed worthy of being the Great Hero of Shao, which was too cool. But for Wang Bengu and his officials, they were all creepy. Not to mention the relationship between Shao Fang and the Silver Bandit and the Mine Bo, it would be too terrifying to just say that they could transport these silver to the government without knowing it.
Everyone felt a chill in their necks... What a powerful force that should be. I'm afraid it would be easy to take everyone's head. Even Wang Bengu was silent. Not only did he no longer question Shao Fang, he finally paid attention to this person in the martial arts world and the forces he represented behind. It has to be admitted that the other party does have the ability to have equal dialogue.
"It's only half here." Shao Daxia shook his broad Taoist robe and smiled gracefully: "The other half is offered when I go back..." He scratched his chin again and said with a beating: "Oh, by the way, if you want to find me, just go to a brothel and ask my name to know where I am now." After that, he bowed to Wang Bengu and others, and floated away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"This guy is so bad..." When Wang Bengu, who knew he could not make a decision, reported the situation to Shen Mo, Lord Jinglei finally responded, but his interest in Daxia Shao seemed to be greater than those silver.
"At present moment... Wang Bengu has been under great pressure recently. Not only does he have anger on the corner of his mouth, but his tongue also has sores. How can he be in the mood to joke? Looking at Shen Jingluo who was lying lazy on the chair, he was furious again. He quickly suppressed it and asked in a low voice: "Does it be a talk? Please tell me."
Shen Mo searched for a bunch of fresh fruits on the machine, and finally picked up a bunch of yellow loquats, picked one and put it into his mouth. He was still with a happy face, and then he said softly: "Who casts three hundred gold pills, the bolus is slightly wet and exposed to stains. From now on, how can you get rid of the jade when you reach the magpie? There is even more tin slurry to refresh the teeth." After reciting the poem, he asked, "What do you think?"
Seeing that he was still writing poems after eating loquats, Wang Bengu became more depressed and said, "I didn't think it tastes so delicious."
"I'm not asking you loquat." Silent but serious said: "I'm asking those people's proposals."
"Oh..." Wang Bengu could not stand this teasing. He was so crazy, but he didn't dare to have anger. In desperation, he could only hold his anger in his arms: "Isn't you here to ask the Lord?"
"I can't make a decision for you." Chen Si ate all the loquats and spit out the seeds and said, "But no matter how you make them, I will support you." He said with a smile: "This loquat is really delicious. Do you want to give me some?"
"No need." Wang Bengu completely collapsed.
After sending Wang Bengu away, Shen Mingchen came in. Chen Mo picked up the cloth and wiped his hands. He looked lazy on his face and asked in a deep voice: "How was the talk?" While Shao Daxia and Wang Bengu were negotiating, Shen Mingchen also secretly communicated with the people of the nine masters on behalf of Chen Mo. This is a negotiation that truly determines the tranquility of Quzhou and even the fate of Zhejiang.
Everything starts with the silent letter. In the letter that asked Shao Daxia to pass on to the Nine Masters, he showed his trump card to those old and anxious aristocratic families - don't bother with them in the mine, I will give you greater benefits.
In that long letter, Silence showed his grand blueprint to the Nine Ones. At the macro level, he wanted to build Jiangnan into a huge business empire, combine the wealth that can rival the country with the power that can dominate the world, and create a powerful power that never needs to be relied on others. All families that fight side by side with him will achieve long-term prosperity and eternal glory.
Of course, silence is extremely subtle, and many meanings need to be understood carefully before they can be understood. But under these ambitious goals, he also has specific plans... He will use all resources to support production centers in more than a dozen sunny industries such as textiles, shipbuilding, metallurgy, and manufacturing in Jiangnan to drive the overall development of this industry, and then jointly promote the economic development of Jiangnan.
Now everyone understands. The dozens of industries mentioned by Chen Si are all business that make a lot of money. As long as they can become the center of one of the industries, they can get all kinds of resources and their development will naturally be twice the result with half the effort. They all know what they know and know that once they can become the leader in the industry, they will have the right to speak in this industry and their wealth will naturally be endless.
This is much more comfortable than digging for money. After all, the latter is illegal, and it will always be a day to dig it up when you sit in the sky and eat. The two are weighed, which one is more important, as long as you are smart enough, it is not difficult to make a collective decision.
