Chapter 60 Meeting at the General Manager’s Office
As soon as the two left, Qin Lingsi said: "Military advisor, why did you refuse just now? You really don't have to worry about me and my sister!"
"Because you only see the advantages and not the disadvantages!" Zhang Yangquan said slowly.
Qin Lingsi pouted unconvinced: "What's the harm?"
Zhang Yangquan said seriously: "Don't forget Brother Wang Meng! He has a murderous grudge against us. If he returns to Jiangdu, will he get along with us in peace?"
Qin Lingjun said: "Shen Qianqian just said that Polo Buhua has a rift with Brother Wang Meng. Can we use this to make Brother Wang Meng not dare to attack us?"
Zhang Yangquan shook his head and said: "Brother Wang Meng has a lot of troops, and Polo Buhua can't control him at all."
Qin Lingsi pouted and said, "Then you plan to refuse?"
Zhang Yangquan smiled and said: "No, I plan to agree."
"Huh? Then Brother Wang Meng..."
"If Brother Wang Meng really comes back with his army, we can just hide back in the village." Zhang Yangquan interrupted: "Besides, Hangzhou may not be able to be recovered. Even if it is recovered, it may be a long time later, and there may be new ones by then. situation!"
Qin Lingsi patted his arm and glared: "Then why are you going around and around? Why didn't you just agree to Sister Shen's promise?"
Zhang Yangquan was silent. What he was really worried about was that after Zhaoan's government, he would fall into the struggle between the major forces in Jiangdu City. Not only would there be no peace, but it might also affect the grain planting plan.
Qin Lingjun said softly: "Commander, do you have any concerns?"
Zhang Yangquan weighed it for a long time and felt that the advantages of Zhao'an were still greater than the disadvantages, and it was too hopeless to always think about hiding in a cottage.
Taking a deep breath, he said loudly: "It's nothing, I just feel that the matter is of great importance and should be considered more. What is the opinion of the leader of the village?"
Qin Lingjun had already thought it through and said: "I feel that Shen Qianqian is taking advantage of us, but this is also good for us, so we can agree!"
Zhang Yangquan clapped his hands and said: "Okay, let's plan Zhao'an together with Shen Qianqian!"
Just as he was about to send someone to invite Shen Qianqian, a soldier suddenly came to report that Bian Yuantong was here. Zhang Yangquan hurriedly asked someone to invite him in.
When Bian Yuantong came to the meeting hall, he saw Shen Qianqian at a glance and said to himself: "This girl is really powerful, she beats me every time." He bowed his hands and saluted everyone.
The village soldiers served Bian Yuantong tea, and everyone exchanged pleasantries. Bian Yuantong frowned when he learned that Shen Qianqian had told the news to Longtan Village.
At this time, Zhang Yangquan was heard saying: "Miss Qianqian, after our discussion, we decided to agree to your proposal and accept the imperial edict from the General Manager's Office. I just don't know how to plan this matter?"
Bian Yuantong flicked his wrist and almost dropped the tea cup, and blurted out: "Commander Zhang, the two village leaders, we can help your village plan this matter!"
The main purpose of his coming here is to let Longtan Village enter Jiangdu.
After Zhang Mingjian and Huang Boyan enter Jiangdu, they will have a great impact on the power structure of Jiangdu City. The Bian family has good relations with the Shen family and is not afraid of Huang Boyan, but they are sworn enemies with the Zheng family.
With Zhang Mingjian as a backer in the Zheng family, the Bian family's business would be greatly affected, so Bian Ying immediately sent his son over to try to bring Longtan Village into the game.
Shen Qianqian knew that the Bian family had deep roots in Jiangdu, so it would be easier to plan this matter, so she said: "In that case, our Shen family and the Bian family will work together to ask the King of Zhennan to also issue an edict to An Longtan Village."
Bian Yuantong raised his chin and said: "Although our family can also accomplish this, if Miss Shen is willing to help, we can increase the chance of winning by half."
Shen Qianqian showed no displeasure and smiled slightly: "Qianqian is willing to help."
Zhang Yangquan stood up, cupped his hands and said, "In this case, I'll leave it all to you two!"
……
It’s been a long time since Polo Buhua came to Yangzhou Governor’s Mansion.
I came here this time to discuss with everyone the matters of Zhao'an Qingyi Village and Huangya Village.
When he sat down in the lobby of the General Manager's Mansion, he glanced left and right at the two rows of standing officials and found that half of the people attending the meeting were less than half, and he was immediately furious.
"Why didn't so many people come?"
Kang Lian hurriedly said: "Your Highness, those people have followed General Wang to regain Hangzhou!"
"What? How come I don't know about this!"
There was silence in the lobby, no one dared to say a word.
Bo Luo Buhua gritted his teeth for a long time and hummed: "Forget it, let's not mention this matter for now. I have called you here today to discuss the matter of Zhao'an Qingyi Village and Huangya Village!"
Miao Daheng immediately said: "Your Highness, I think this matter is absolutely impossible. These two strongholds are a group of lawless bandits. Incorporating them into the General Manager's Mansion will only lead to chaos in the city!"
Bo Luo Buhua squinted his eyes and said, "What if Fang Guozhen attacks? What if these bandits join forces and attack?"
"The general has already said that as long as we recruit volunteers, we can protect Jiangdu without any worries!"
Boluo Buhua snorted and said: "When the time comes, Jiang will have no worries, and I will have worries!"
Miao Daheng said in astonishment: "Why did Your Highness say this?"
Kang Lian said pitifully: "General Miao, do you want to recruit volunteers to protect Jiangdu? Or do you want to take the opportunity to support yourself with troops?"
"Kang Lian! You shameless villain, don't try to sow discord here!"
"That's enough!" Bo Luo Buhua slapped the armrest and shouted: "Miao Qianhu, although I trust you, I can't leave the entire Jiangdu City in your hands! I have made up my mind and will immediately send two We are all going to Qingyi Village and Huangya Village to discuss the matter of Zhao'an!"
An official from the left suddenly came out and said: "I thought that the Zhao'an bandits could not only eliminate the banditry in Jiangdu in one fell swoop, but also use them to deal with the rebels. This is really a wise move!"
Boluo Buhua looked at the man and recognized him as Sun Hong, the fifth-grade Tongzhi, and said with a smile: "Sun Tongzhi can understand my king's thoughts!"
Sun Hong said with a smile: "I thought that after Zhao'an, these two troops should immediately let them attack Longtan Village to avenge His Highness!"
Bo Luo Buhua was silent for a while, then waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary. I heard that there are more than 5,000 people in Longtan Village, and it will be difficult to attack, so I won't care about them for now!"
Sun Hong frowned and said: "That's troublesome. In the past, Longtan Village was restrained by Qingyi Village and Huangya Village, and Longtan Village could not unify the bandits in Jiangdu. Now that the two villages are under imperial orders, other bandits will definitely join Longtan Village. By then, Longtan Village will reach a level of one
More than ten thousand people!"
"More than ten thousand?" Polo Buhua's face changed slightly and he said, "What should we do?"
Sun Hong pondered for a long time, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said: "I have an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it or not!"
"Say it quickly!"
Sun Hong said cautiously: "I think that if we want to prevent this problem, we can only install Longtan Village together!"
Miao Daheng said coldly: "We might as well pacify all the bandits in Jiangdu!"
Kang Lian narrowed his eyes and said, "Does Miao Qianhu think His Highness did something wrong?"
Miao Daheng was furious and was about to curse, but was stopped by an official.
Boluo Buhua coughed and said, "Kang Zhangshu, what do you think?"
"I feel that what Sun Tongzhi said is absolutely true. We cannot let Longtan Village unite all the bandits in Jiangdu!" Kang Lian narrowed his eyes and smiled.
He accepted Shen Qianqian's bribe and promised to say a word or two for Longtan Village, but he didn't expect Shen Qianqian to have such skill to let Sun Hong, a fifth-grade fellow, do this for her.
In fact, Shen Qianqian had just entered Jiangdu, so it was naturally impossible for Sun Hong to be so dedicated. It was the Bian family who was behind it.
Although Kang Lian knew that Sun Hong was on good terms with the Bian family, he never thought that the Bian family would join forces with the Shen family, a large foreign businessman, so he thought differently.
After listening to Kang Lian's words, Bo Luo Buhua waved his hand and said: "Well, then we will also send a governor to Longtan Village. You can discuss the details of the imperial edict among yourselves. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
