Tie Mo scratched his head, thought carefully, came closer, and whispered: "Miss, have you ever thought about putting these gold and silver somewhere else? If you trust me, you can temporarily let my people take the money away, and
As for me, I will give you the corresponding number of bills for the Duofuhao. The Duke's office can then use the bills to withdraw money in Nanjing City. The reputation of the Duofuhao should be trustworthy, right?"
"Is this the good idea you came up with?" Xu Zhixin frowned slightly. This idea sounds very exciting, but if you think about it carefully, isn't this just giving money to Tie Mo? This is too much money
, what if Tie Mo plays with Huahua’s intestines?
"It's not a good idea, it can only be said to be a stupid idea, so you and your father-in-law must trust Tie!" Tie Mo shrugged indifferently. Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with him, so he left it to the Xu family and his daughter to
Decide.
On the ninth day of March in the fourth year of Chongzhen, the Jiuhua Mountain area that had been blocked for a long time was finally opened. As soon as the road was cleared, the six officials waiting outside couldn't wait to rush in. They rushed towards the Straw Hat Slope in the south. Many people were originally excited, but when they arrived
Everyone in Straw Hat Slope was dumbfounded. There were indeed a lot of supplies in Straw Hat Slope, but they were just some unimportant rags, tattered silks and some pots and pans. It looked like Straw Hat Slope was full of them, but they were actually not worth much money.
This is the material left by the rogue bandits. The rogue bandits came to Zhili and Zhejiang in the south and robbed some of these things for a few months? Liars are not that deceptive, right? You should be more serious about the deception.
Tan Qiu, the Minister of Household Affairs in Nanjing, immediately became angry and angrily ran to Mopan Camp to argue with Tie Mo and Xu Hongji, but Xu Hongji pushed Tan Qiu back on the spot. Xu Hongji's reasons were very good, and he stayed behind when the bandits left.
After taking these things, all other supplies were taken away.
Tan Qiu knew very well that most of the supplies must have been transferred by these two people, but in the face of their tyranny and shamelessness, there was nothing they could do.
Almost at the same time, many gentry from Nanzhili and Zhejiang rushed towards the city of Nanjing. When they arrived in Nanjing, they did not go anywhere else, they all went to Nuanxin Pavilion. In fact, their purpose of coming here was very clear, they just wanted to find Chang Min.
Yue talked to Hai Lanzhu to see if they could get back some of the things the bandits had stolen.
The gentry of Nanzhili gathered in Nuanxin Pavilion. Naturally, this matter could not be hidden from the officials of the Six Ministries of Nanjing. Watching the gentry and dignitaries go to Hai Lanzhu and Chang Minyue one by one, I felt very anxious, but there was no good way. At the moment, the situation was big
All the supplies were swallowed up by Xu Hongji and Tie Mo. If the gentry wanted to get back some of their property, they could only ask those two women. These Nanzhili gentry were all prominent figures and played a decisive role in Jiangnan Shopping Mall.
How could those two shrewd women, Hai Lanzhu and Chang Minyue, let go of this good opportunity?
The gentry are not afraid of the other party's conditions. One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The officials of the Six Ministries cannot intervene forcibly. They cannot stop those people from trying to find ways to get their property back, right? Thinking of this, I hate Xu Changlu.
, If it weren’t for this waste, Nanjing would not be so passive.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of the fact that the rogue bandits were beaten down and get a share of the pie. But the result was good. Xu Changlu not only failed to take the credit, but also made the rogue bandits lose their armor. This matter has become a problem in the officialdom of Southern Zhili.
It was such a joke that the officials of the six departments had no confidence to speak, let alone the courage to bargain with Tie Mo. What happened with Xu Changlu before made Tie Mo and Xu Hongji unhappy. If they mess with each other at this time, they will fight to death.
He persisted in fixing Xu Changlu's matter, and soon it was brought to the attention of officials from the Sixth Department.
Gu Tongen now has no temper at all. All his plans were aborted because Xu Changlu failed to live up to his expectations. Faced with the predicament in front of him, he was helpless. Wang Yuhan, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, frowned and his face looked extremely foul.
He held his sleeves and said angrily: "Everyone, we still have to think of a way. Those two women, Hai Lanzhu and Chang Minyue, are not simple. If they are allowed to reach out to Nanzhili, we will be very passive."
of."
Everyone knows this truth. Hai Lanzhu and Chang Minyue are the spokespersons of Tie Mo in Nanjing, and Tie Mo is also the machete of Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian. In Nanzhili, this is the Donglin Qingliu that has experienced more than a hundred years.
After years of hard work, Tie Mo has put his hand in the back garden, which means that Emperor Zhu Youjian has influence over Jiangnan. This is simply letting Dong Lin Qingliu's blood go. Every time Tie Mo scrapes away a point.
interests, then Donglin officials will lose one point of benefit, and the conflict between the two parties is irreconcilable.
We all understand the truth, but what about taking Tie Mo for the time being? He has tens of thousands of troops, and he is colluding with Wei Guogong Xu Hongji. In addition, he just won a great victory in Jiuhua Mountain. The six ministries in Nanjing and even the Northern Zhili court
There is nothing you can do about Tie Mo. At this time, what reason do you have to make things difficult for Tie Mo? What reason do you have to drive away the border troops? The most annoying thing is that now some established Jiangnan aristocratic families are also flirting with Hai Lanzhu.
After a long time, a middle-aged man about forty years old stood up at the very end. This man's name was Dong Lin, who was temporarily the head of a small criminal department. After Dong Lin stood up, Gu Tongen and others frowned.
, when they wanted to come, no one said anything. It was a bit inappropriate for you, a small head of the punishment department, to stand up and express your opinion in advance.
Dong Lin didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with doing this. He cupped his hands and said calmly: "My lords, I have a plan, you might as well give it a try. Before the border troops stationed in Zhejiang, didn't Tie Mo ask for help from us?
Are there many benefits? We can let him go to Jiangning Mansion to get those military supplies. Also, although the bandits have left, there is still a mess in Zhejiang. Incidents occurred in major saltworks, and the saltmen made a big fuss in the saltworks.
, Now official salt cannot be sold, and the price of salt is rising steadily. Zhejiang is unable to deal with this. Didn't Du Fushan always hope to send a strong force to suppress the Yanding Rebellion?"
As Dong Lin spoke, Gu Tongen and others gradually calmed down and listened carefully, because Dong Lin's method seemed to be very good. Seeing that no one had any intention of stopping him, Dong Lin became more confident and continued:
"Isn't Tie Mo the governor of the three provinces appointed by His Majesty? He is also in charge of the military affairs of South Zhili. Now that there is a chaos in Yanding, Zhejiang, it is not too much to ask him to send troops to take charge of it, right?"
"My lords, if you think about it carefully, where is Zhejiang? That is our territory. As long as Tie Mo dares to go to Zhejiang, we have plenty of ways to deal with him. Now that the bandit is gone, we have enough energy to deal with him. If he doesn't
Go, as the governor of three provinces, isn’t it a bit unjustifiable to ignore the Salt Rebellion and allow the price of salt to soar?"
Soon, everyone looked at Dong Lin differently. They had never thought that the Ministry of Punishment would actually hide such a capable person. Thinking about it carefully, the method Dong Lin said was definitely a good idea. Regarding the cloth in Jiangning Mansion,
Although he agreed to Tie Mo, as long as Tie Mo went to pick up the cloth, the weavers would complain. As for the matter in Zhejiang, in fact, relying on the ability of Nanzhili, the civil unrest can be suppressed properly, but
Since you have this opportunity, why not cheat Tie Mo?
Zhejiang, Yangzhou, Suzhou, these places are the headquarters of Donglin Baiguan. When you get there, are you afraid that you can't deal with the outsider Tie Mo? You were so passive before. It's not that the Southern Zhili officials can't fight Tie Mo, but because there are rogue bandits like this.
There is a huge mountain pressing down, and there are too many taboos. Now, everyone can free up their hands and concentrate on dealing with Tie Mo, which is naturally different.
The officials of the Six Ministries have full confidence that they can completely control the situation in Zhejiang. With the help of Nanjing and the cooperation of Du Fushan and his gang of Zhejiang officials, what kind of trouble can Tie Mo make? To put it bluntly,
, Not to mention Tie Mo, even if Emperor Zhu Youjian went to Nanzhili in person, as long as the officials in Donglin didn't nod, he wouldn't be able to take away any benefits from Zhejiang.
Everyone knew that the situation was urgent and there was no room for delay. Now that they had an idea, they would implement it immediately. Soon, Gu Tongen and others wrote several official documents, one of which was sent to the capital of Beizhili.
In Jiuhua Mountain, Tie Mo was very happy to see the disgraced faces of those Nanjing officials. He had brought his Xuanfu frontier army brothers to life and death, and had sacrificed his life for something, and Nanjing still wanted to come over and get a piece of the pie. What's the fuss about?
People are just too whimsical. Can such benefits be divided casually? It’s not that Tie Mo is stingy. Even if he shares some benefits with Nanjing officials, they will still regard him as an enemy. The two sides are not the same, and conflicts are inevitable.
It's a harmonious one, so no benefit can slip through the cracks of your hands.
At some point, Xu Zhixin came to the side, looked at the situation in the camp, and frowned slightly. She was not as arrogant as Tie Mo, and said with worry: "We have passed this level, good thing
I even got it in my mouth. But those people won’t let it go and will definitely find ways to cause trouble for us. I’m afraid there will be a lot of trouble in the future.”
"What are you afraid of? The soldiers have come to cover up the water and the earth, and we have beaten away the bandits. What tricks can those people do?" Tie Mo curled his lips disdainfully. Compared with the difficulties he encountered when bartering in the north, in the south
Everything that happens in Zhili is not worth mentioning. As long as Emperor Zhu Youjian doesn't back down, there is really no need to be afraid of the officials in Southern Zhili. Tie Mo has full confidence, with tens of thousands of elite soldiers protecting him, plus
I went to Henan Commander-in-Chief Ding Luyan to help me. Nanjing and Wei Guogong's mansion were well ventilated, so I could leave if I wanted to.
Seeing Tie Mo like this, Xu Zhixin sighed with a bitter smile, "I hope so!" The two stood side by side on the high slope, letting the breeze caress their faces, and the sun gradually fell, leaving behind their long figures.
There was a rush of footsteps, and when I looked back, I saw that it was Wang Zuogao who had arrived. At this time, Wang Zuogao held an official document in his hand, and with an angry look on his face, he handed it over and said in a cold voice: "Supervisor,
Look, the people over in Nanjing have started to give us problems again. Those people want to trap us to death..."
Tie Mo and Xu Zhixin looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They were still talking about this matter just now, but just now, there was movement in Nanjing. After looking at the contents of the official document, Xu Zhixin's face also changed drastically, "These people really have ulterior motives.
You promised well before that you would give us the cloth. Now it's better, let us go to Ningguo Mansion to get it ourselves."
Nanjing officials sending the cloth and picking it up yourself are completely different things. If you go to Ningguofu to pick it up, you will definitely offend those weavers. The most influential people in Jiangnan Shopping Mall are the weavers and salt merchants. The Ningguofu weavers
They not only deal in silk and satin cloth, but also do a wide range of business. If they are offended, the Shanxi merchants' plan to expand their business to Jiangnan will be seriously affected.
An official document contained evil intentions. Tie Mo snorted coldly and handed the official document back to Wang Zuogao, "Those people have a good idea. They want to use an official document to provoke a conflict between us and the weavers. It is simply fantastic."
.Brother Zuo Gua, please send this official document to the Xu family in Ningguo Prefecture intact. In addition, tell them that our army has seized a lot of materials from the bandits. The Xu family and other Ningguo Prefecture weavers can send people over to take a look.
Which supplies are theirs? You can tell them clearly that we are willing to make them friends."
At first Wang Zuoguan didn't turn around, but soon his eyes lit up, he raised his brows and nodded with a smile, "Supervisor, what a great idea... Wang really wants to see those things in Nanjing."
What expression would be on a person’s face…”
Wang Zuoguan was very capable in his work, and the official document was delivered to Ningguo Mansion quickly. The Xu family, as the largest weaver in Ningguo Mansion, has business all over Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and its power is comparable to that of the Xiao family entrenched in Yangzhou. The same Xu family,
The Xu family of Ningguo Mansion and the Wei Guogong Mansion are not the same thing. To be honest, the Xu family of Ningguo Mansion originated in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was formed almost at the same time as the Xiao family and has been a Jiangnan family that continues to this day. Because of the special nature of the Xu family
, almost all the weavers in Jiangnan acted based on the Xu family's expression.
Now Xu Le, the head of the Xu family, is staying in Ningguo Mansion. After receiving the official document from Jiuhua Mountain, he hesitated for a moment, then opened it and read it. After reading it, Xu Le raised his eyebrows,
He snorted with an angry look on his face. As the head of the Xu family, how could he not see the fishiness hidden in this official document? This official document was clearly meant to provoke a conflict between the Iron Superintendent and the manufacturer.
As a businessman from the south of the Yangtze River, there is nothing wrong with doing something for the Nanjing officials. However, the Xu family's large amount of supplies is still in the hands of the iron governor. If the conflict between the two parties is provoked at this time, wouldn't it mean that the Xu family's discarded money will be lost again?
There is no possibility of retrieving it? The Iron Supervisor is not a philanthropic boy. The weaver glares at him, and he returns the seized materials?
Huh, this move by Nanjing clearly means sacrificing the interests of the Xu family. On the contrary, the Iron Superintendent actually took the initiative to mention the matter of supplies. Although the letter did not mean to win over the weavers, the content of the document cannot be divided into two parts.
Make a decision.
At least on this matter, the Xu family has no intention of siding with Nanjing.
