Da Ming Tai Shi

Chapter 523 Resistance
"Too rampant, too rampant!"

"They dare to besiege you, how dare these people!"

On the way back to Guangzhou from Pearl Harbor, Yu Qian, who was still in shock, couldn't help repeating these two sentences, while Chen Jing was equally serious.

"Ting Yi, compared to this siege, I am more worried about returning to Guangzhou."

Yu Qian became nervous: "Are you worried that someone in Guangzhou will plot against you?"

"That's not true." Chen Jinghe waved his hand: "You have already seen the power of the handgun, and the threat of force is not terrible for us, but Zhu Youjiong or the South India Company, Manuel Chamber of Commerce, etc. Fang actually has the guts to attack me, the crown prince, so there is nothing they dare not do.

Where does their courage come from?
How many unknown crimes are buried in Guangzhou or the whole of Guangdong, and how many people and related interests are involved. I am afraid that when we really want to uncover all of them, it will be difficult for us to retreat from Guangdong. . "

Drug trafficking, smuggling, and slave trafficking, which one is not a capital crime?
But Mingzhu Port did it with great fanfare, not only that, facing Chen Jinghe who came to investigate, their private army dared to attack!

This is still Chen Jinghe, thanks to Jin Yiwei's protection.

If he had changed to another imperial envoy, he would have died directly in Pearl Harbor.

It can be said that what happened just now reminded Chen Jinghe that Guangdong is far more complicated and dangerous than he imagined.

What Chen Jinghe thought was right, as soon as he returned to Guangzhou, dozens of provincial government officials headed by Ye Mingyuan, the deputy chief minister of Guangdong, came to the door.

Under the banner of visiting.

"I was shocked to hear that Fantai was attacked in Mingzhu Harbor, but it scared me out of my wits. Fortunately, Fantai is a lucky person, otherwise, we should all die to apologize."

Ye Mingyuan was heartbroken about what happened in Pearl Harbor in front of Chen Jinghe: "I never thought that under our Guangdong rule, Pearl Harbor would do so many outrageous things.

Drug trafficking, smuggling, slave selling, what else do these criminals dare not do, they should be killed!Severe punishment! "

Chen Jinghe watched Ye Mingyuan perform in front of him coldly. He knew that the latter was talking nonsense at this moment, so he looked at Jiang Zhengxun who came with him.

Jiang Zhengxun said knowingly: "Emissary Ye Bu is right. The illegal activities in Mingzhu Port must be strictly investigated and punished. Therefore, the decision of Fantai to temporarily close Mingzhu Port is very necessary in my opinion."

Ye Mingyuan, who was still aggrieved here, suddenly stopped talking.

"Zhengxun, that's not what I mean. What I mean is that those who should be severely punished will never be tolerated, but the entire Pearl Harbor should not be sealed off just because of the crimes committed by some criminals. Isn't this a small loss?"

"Because it's a small loss?"

Jiang Zhengxun played for Chen Jinghe: "What do the big and small in Ye Buzheng's mouth represent? What is small and what is big? Pearl Hong Kong University, National Law Small, or Manuel Chamber of Commerce, South India Company Your wallet is big, but the lives of our Zhongzhou people are small?"

Ye Mingyuan suddenly became angry: "President Jiang, please don't be weird here, let alone over-interpret my words. When did I say such irresponsible words? Did I mean it?"

"That's not what you mean, what are you in a hurry for?"

"Then first of all, don't button your hat indiscriminately."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Chen Jinghe interrupted.

"Zhengxun, I believe Envoy Ye Buzheng didn't mean what you said. We are all colleagues, so we should not slander you."

Jiang Zhengxun cupped his hands and admitted his mistake: "Yes, the lower official made a slip of the tongue."

Ye Mingyuan finally looked better, but he soon heard Chen Jinghe's question again.

"Ministry Ye Bu, what do you mean by small losses, I don't know very well. In order to avoid misunderstandings between Brother Zhengxun and other colleagues, please explain clearly."

Ye Mingyuan said with a half-smile: "Since Fantai asked, I'll just say a few words of my humble opinion."

"It's heartbreaking that something like this happened in Pearl Harbor this time, but we can't beat everyone to death with a single blow, right? Don't tell me the tens of thousands of people in Pearl Harbor are all like Zhu Youjiong? Not a criminal?
It is obviously impossible. I believe that the vast majority of people still abide by the law. Whoever is at fault is to be blamed, and what is to be done.

In addition, we don’t need to implicate the normal operation of the entire Pearl Port because of mistakes in the management of the Pearl Port. The Pearl Port is a dead thing.

As long as we strengthen the supervision of Pearl Harbor, and at the same time control the future development of Pearl Harbor together with the South India Company and the Manuel Chamber of Commerce, then things like the recent ones will not continue to happen, so I don’t think it is necessary to Pearl Harbor is closed.

Fantai, Mingzhu Port is closed for one day, which is a loss of hundreds of millions. What's more, many seagoing ships have to pass through Mingzhu Port to enter the customs. Bring a lot of pressure.

Guangzhou Port cannot fully bear the pressure of import and export navigation transferred from Pearl Port, which will cause a large number of imported goods to float at sea until they rot, and a large number of export goods are parked in the country and cannot be realized. They are also waiting for money.

So, if Pearl Harbor stops for one day, our whole country will be affected. Isn't this a big deal? "

Chen Jinghe snorted: "I understand, what Ye Buzheng means is that we in Zhongzhou really cannot live without this Pearl Harbor, right?"

"That's not true, it's just that we don't need it."

Ye Mingyuan didn't give Chen Jinghe any chance to dig a hole, and quickly explained: "Compared with punishing some lawbreakers, is it not more important to ensure the normal operation of Guangdong's 800 million people and the country's taxation? ?

The anger in Fantai's heart is felt by the lower officials. After all, for such a trouble, the lower officials, as the deputy envoys of Guangdong, are also to blame. They also wish to cut people like Zhu Youjiong into pieces, but we can't act on our will. Be responsible for the millions of people on your shoulders.

Therefore, according to the officials, the closure of the port is still suspended. If after digging into the crimes of Zhu Youjiong, Li Yanzong and others, it is found that there are indeed more people involved in the case or more serious illegal acts in Mingzhu Port, we can Hold a meeting to discuss whether it is really necessary to close the port. "

Chen Jinghe understood that what Ye Mingyuan meant was to let Zhu Youjiong and Li Yanzong, who were not on the table, be the scapegoats.

But it is absolutely impossible to seal off the port.

If the port is closed, the interests of many people will be lost.

It may even be dragged down by the investigation that continues to dig deeper.

It means turning big things into small things and turning small things into small things.

"Then what should we do about the official being attacked?"

Chen Jinghe's tone was full of unkindness: "I went to investigate the case, but I almost couldn't come back. This is due to the protection of Jin Yiwei. over there."

Ye Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said angrily: "What those barbarian guards did was a heinous crime. Fortunately, Jin Yiwei was there, so it didn't cause a catastrophe. I will send someone to coordinate with the South India Company. In the future, the South India Company will When sending people to Mingzhu Port, no barbarians are allowed, all of us are from Zhongzhou, the barbarians cannot be kings, there are no rules."

The responsibility is called a clean.

"Oh." Chen Jinghe sneered, then waved his hands and said, "Let's report this matter to the cabinet, and let the cabinet decide how to deal with it."

Don't you want to make big things small, so I will make big things big.

Chen Jinghe didn't believe that the cabinet could still be like Guangdong, from top to bottom!
"Put Li Yanzong, Zhu Youjiong and others in the Jinyiwei Siya, and no one can touch them until the cabinet comes."

A glint of gloom flashed across Ye Mingyuan's eyes.
