Rivers and lakes rich man

Chapter 284

"Lord Fang, you look good." Yao Xumang saw Fang Jing coming in, looked him up, and motioned him to sit down.

"I don't know what your lord's order is for you to come here?" Fang Jing asked directly.

He doesn't want to be hypocritical with these guys, it's boring.

"I wasn't in the yamen yesterday. If I were, I wouldn't agree to let you be promoted to the governor." Yao Xumang kept paying attention to Fang Jing's expression when he was speaking.

Seeing that Fang Jing's face remained unchanged, he asked curiously, "Why? Are you not angry at what I just said?"

"Whether it's a promotion or a demotion, I will accept the humble position, and I dare not speak nonsense." Fang Jing replied.

"It's not from the heart." Yao Xumang said with a slight smile, "You are a smart person. You have made such a big business, so it is impossible not to notice it? Now that you are on the rise, it is the time when you are proud of yourself. Fortune depends on misfortune, misfortune Blessing is what you need. You have to understand this sentence well.”

"My lord, please let me know whether the lowly position is about to face a catastrophe?" Fang Jing's face changed slightly.

Yao Xumang noticed the change in Fang Jing's expression, and noticed a flicker of panic and anxiety in his eyes.

Smiling secretly in his heart, in his opinion, this kid Fang Jing was trying to pretend to be calm in front of him just now?
Still too tender.

But I have to say, this kid is indeed smart, he must have guessed Min Zhenyuan's intention of being promoted yesterday.

"The imperial court has decided to use troops to the north." Yao Xumang said, "Before the soldiers and horses move food and grass, this important task has already fallen on our Wulin Guards."

Fang Jing's face changed slightly.

They also guessed about this yesterday, and they really were making a fuss about grain and grass.

"You should understand now, right?" Yao Xumang kept paying attention to Fang Jing.

"My lord, should I let the humble official be in charge of raising food and grass?" Fang Jing asked.

"Not only to raise money, but also to send food and grass to the north." Yao Xumang stared at Fang Jing and said.

Fang Jing's face was ugly.

Although it was a fake, but now he finally understands the purpose of those who hide behind their backs and plot against him.

With the power of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce, it is still possible to raise food and grass.

But if you want to send food to the front line, it is full of variables.

Not only the Turks, even the guys hiding in the dark may do the trick.

At that time, if there is a problem with transporting grain and grass, the responsibility will be his own.

If the higher authorities hold him accountable, he may be doomed.

Is it Zhu Wenren?

If it was him, then he would destroy his Fang family business.

He knew very well that he couldn't help himself for a while, and it was not so easy to want his own life.

After all, one of his Heaven Realm masters was lost.

If you force yourself to commit a serious crime and face the court's punishment, you will definitely not be caught without a fight.

If he directly resisted the court, he might not be in danger of death, but the court would never let his Fang family business continue to operate.

Zhu Wenren has a way to take over the business of Fang's firm.

This should be his calculation.

"This~~" Fang Jing said with some panic, "My lord, is the humble official really responsible for this matter?"

"Master Min has reported your decision to be responsible for the escort, and there will be no accidents. Zhenfu is not so easy to do." Yao Xumang said lightly.

Fang Jing remained silent, accepting the official position himself, in the eyes of outsiders, he also accepted this arduous task by default.

In fact, he was cheated by Min Zhenyuan.

He never mentioned it at the time.

Of course, even if he said it, he couldn't refuse it.

The first level of officialdom crushes people to death, and it's not the first level.

"I know your Fang's business name, oh, and the current Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce is quite powerful, but it is still difficult to safely transport grain and grass to the front line, and there are many oxen, horses, ghosts and gods secretly tripping you on the way. Be prepared." Yao Xumang felt that Fang Jing was a little confused, which was quite normal.

Even if he let himself do this kind of thing, he would be helpless.

Fang Jing has a lot of influence, but his influence is in Jiangnan Dongjun, and he has no influence in the north at all.

Yao Xumang knew that many people in Luoyang were eyeing the fat of Fang's business.

"My lord, please save me." Fang Jing shouted hastily.

He couldn't see what Yao Xumang was thinking. Yao Xumang probably wanted to win him over.

Zhu Wenren wanted to get rid of himself to seize the business of Fang's business.

Yao Xumang wants to subdue him by giving favors.

The means of the two are different, but the purpose is the same.

Since the other party had this intention, Fang Jing naturally followed his will.

He wanted to see who this Yao Xumang would belong to.

I'm not afraid of those guys' tricks, but Yao Xumang wants to help me, so I have no reason to refuse.

If he puts a little effort on his side, it will be easier on his side.

"Up to now, I have no good solution." Yao Xumang shook his head and sighed, "If you dismissed the governor yesterday, alas, it's not something you can dismiss. This matter falls to the Your head is fixed and cannot be changed. Then you have to think about how to complete it smoothly."

"My lord, please advise me." Fang Jing said very respectfully.

"The first is the silver taels for buying grain and grass." Yao Xumang said.

"How much silver taels does the imperial court plan to pay for grain and grass?" Fang Jing asked.

"No." Yao Xumang replied, "If the imperial court sends troops, it is estimated that it will cost 1000 million taels of silver, including the purchase of food, grass and military pay. The 1000 million taels will need to be collected by the Jiangnan East Commandery. As the governor of Wulinwei Town, As the president of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce, he should relieve the imperial court's worries and persuade them. Of course, Lord Min chose you for this reason, so you are really the most suitable for this task."

Fang Jing sneered in his heart.

The imperial court is really indifferent.

Zhu Wenren's idea kills two birds with one stone.

He solved the problem of food and payment for the court.

And if you go to ask Jiangnan Dongjun merchants to share the silver, you will offend those merchants.

But he probably underestimated his prestige in the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce too much.

It's no problem to let the 1000 million taels be shared by his firm in Jiangnan Dongjun.

The members of the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce can now pool the 1000 million taels. With the recent development of the Chamber of Commerce, I believe everyone will not have any opinions on this.

Originally, I had this thought, so it was no problem to donate some silver taels as food and salary.

It's just that he was very disappointed that the court didn't give out a single copper coin.

To put it bluntly, the firm in Jiangnan Dongjun can pay today, maybe it will come again tomorrow, and there will be more later.

When the time comes, will everyone go out or not?
Not only Jiangnan Dongjun, but what would those companies in other counties think?
The lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Today is Jiangnan Dongjun, and tomorrow it may be Lingnan County.

Wouldn't it make people panic?
"Lord Fang, I believe that silver and silver are not a big problem for you. I heard that you have spent tens of millions of taels for the outstanding list in Jianghu. It is really touching."

"I was impulsive at the time, and I regretted it very much afterwards." Fang Jing said.

This incident made the Mingzhou Chamber of Commerce famous and famous all over the world. There are benefits, but there are also disadvantages.

This time it's pretty much the aftermath of the incident.
