Reborn Regent of Ming Dynasty

Zhang Shouren didn't live in the small General Military Office, nor did he go to the Dusi Yamen, but directly lived in the military barracks in Jinan City.

Looking at the school grounds, even if he lived in a small courtyard, he was in a very happy mood.

"Write a letter to Ni Zhongcheng. Although the military camp in the city is large, many places have been in disrepair for a long time. We need to mobilize money and manpower to repair it before we can move in."

"Let the Jinan government recruit civilian husbands in advance, so there should be no delay."

"Leave a message to Dongzhu Qin and other big bosses. In the next few days, I will treat them to dinner." [

Zhang Shouren didn't sit down, the hot sun was shining outside the window, but the room was very cool. He asked people to open the doors and windows wide, and let the drafts blow on him, which made him feel very comfortable. In addition, he wanted to get rid of the musty smell in the room... Here is In the barracks, it was impossible for Qiu Lei and the subsequent deputy generals and deputy commanders to live in it. Many years have passed, and many places have rotted.

"It's not that we don't have money, let's ask someone to repair the palace of the great general you, shall we?"

"Hey, don't be in a hurry for now." Zhang Shouren sneered, and said to Lin Wenyuan who was speaking, "Now people are staring at me, don't forget that the governor and the inspector are also ordered to investigate and deal with the Linqing incident. It's annoying enough asking people for things and building barracks, but when it comes to building my own lodgings, see, I don't know how to organize myself."

"Is the general still afraid of people's words?"

"I just don't like verbal lawsuits." Zhang Shouren chuckled, looking out the window at the soldiers who had changed into their training uniforms and were cleaning. This reminded him of what happened hundreds of years later, and he felt good for a while. He said leisurely: "It's best to convince people with strength. I have sent an urgent envoy to Fushan to gather the whole army in Jinan. Those jumping beam clowns, so what if I ask them to dance around for a few days?"

……

"Hehe, the general is really in a good mood."

In the evening, Ni Chong was wearing a Taoist gown of Ning silk, with horn belts and a square scarf on his head, and his expression was graceful and at ease.

At this time, Ni Zhongcheng finally had a sense of confidence and composure, feeling a bit like a top civil servant in Shandong.

In the past two years, I have been controlled by others everywhere, and I can't use it. I have to give up a lot of benefits because I don't have the strength. Now it seems that the time has come when all the hardships are gone.

"It's really interesting." A guest smiled and said, "Now we have to overhaul the barracks. I don't know. The general led more than a thousand troops. What is the purpose of building such a big barracks?"

"Perhaps it is to send Deng Lai's troops here?"

"Even if there are soldiers, I don't know that they will come here in the year of the monkey."

"If you have soldiers, you have to follow the rules!" Ni Chong said angrily: "If you have soldiers, you also need food and pay. If you grasp this point, the general must be obedient..."

As he said that, he still stared at Master Li, and saw that his master was still shaking his fan unhurriedly, so he was relieved... This master is capable, and he is not willing to drive him away. Recently, there is an errand to investigate the Linqing matter, and the muddled matter needs the help of the masters to do it well. Even so, he doesn't want to keep a strange and suspicious master by his side, If you can't help but make trouble, the fun will be too great.

"Dong Weng, Master Wang and the others are here again."

"Okay, see you in the living room!"

Ni Chong cheered up, looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and asked someone to change into official robes and regular clothes... He felt that it was necessary to deter these businessmen.

"Kowtow to Zhong Cheng."

Seeing Ni Chong coming over in patched clothes and official boots, the businessmen knew that although they met in the inner house, Ni Futai did not regard them as his own, so they stood up obediently and bowed to kneel.

"No need, everyone, let's have some tea."

Although Ni Chong wanted to get big on purpose, he didn't want to offend these big merchants on purpose, so he refused to miss out on etiquette while watching the tea.

"Zhongcheng, I'm here to ask for something..."

Proprietor Wang was young, capable, and very sensitive. After serving tea, he went straight to the topic without any hesitation.

"Please say."

"I'll wait..." Proprietor Wang looked around and saw that everyone nodded slightly, so he made up his mind, gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to invite Fuya and quit the chamber of commerce!"

From the beginning of the words, the next thing is naturally easy to say.To withdraw from the chamber of commerce, of course, is to abandon Zhang Shouren's protective umbrella. In fact, everyone feels at ease now, and feels that they can concentrate on doing business.

Furthermore, the profit-seeking psychology of businessmen cannot be changed, and anything else is just an excuse.

"What you said, the Fuyuan will naturally consider it." Ni Chong was very happy. With the support of these big businessmen and gentry, he could raise troops and accumulate prestige. With the support of the court, he could fight against Zhang Shouren.Looking at the crowd, he solemnly said: "The world matters. Now the general also needs food and people's husbands. We must try our best to maintain it and not cause trouble in the market. For other things, I will deal with it first, and then I will fight slowly with the general. I can't ask you to sit down!"

"Yes, I'll be waiting, thank you Zhongcheng!"

Everyone present is Qiqiao Linglongxin, what is there that they don't understand?They all agreed at the moment, and then they withdrew together.

As soon as they went out, more than a dozen big proprietors all smiled.

Ni Chong's words are very obvious, who can't understand?

It's just using Zhang Shouren as a hacker and using the supply of military supplies as an excuse to disrupt the market and make the general very embarrassed.In Jinan City, he was put into such an army. When Ni Chong and others came out to fight Taiping, the general's prestige of controlling everything was virtually damaged.

Of course, you can't force it too much. Everyone is still very afraid of Zhang Shouren's strength in wealth and army.

But after all, it's all right now, the general can't openly send troops to suppress these businesses, right?

A while ago, Ni Chong and the big merchants were cooperating sincerely, with Zhang Shouren behind him, but now the situation has changed suddenly.

In the final analysis, Zhang Shouren cultivated them with one hand, with the other hand they used commercial leverage, and with the other hand he taught them to fight off the warlords they didn't like. Now, this group of people turned their guns upside down.

It sounds dramatic, but the root cause is not surprising. In the final analysis, a businessman is a creature without borders. He can even betray his motherland. ...

"The business group is not of the same mind as us." When parting, Wang Dongzhu looked at the crowd and said word by word: "The younger brother said that he wanted to disband the business group. The relationship is too deep, and we can't count on it when it's relieved. So we disbanded first, and picked some credible ones to stay as instructors. We rebuilt the stove and built one ourselves. Why bother to spend money to raise soldiers for others?"

"That's the reason." Some people applauded and praised very much. [

Even if the rest of the people didn't say anything, they mostly looked at Wang Dongzhu with admiration. This person is not very old, but he has dangers in his heart, and he is well-organized in planning things. He is a character!

Thinking about Qin Dongzhu and Li Laodongzhu, it is also emotional. The two big bosses who have always carried the tripod are getting old!

……

At night, there was no one else around Zhang Shouren, except for the inner guards who were on duty outside, and there was only Wang Yunfeng left in the house.

"The order for urgent deployment of troops has been sent to Fushan, and the Central Army has sent the strongest and best horses and messengers, but from receiving the order to receiving the order to assemble, and then to Jinan, the time may not be too fast. "

"Yeah." Zhang Shouren nodded slightly, looking unhappy.Now it was the time of the summer harvest. In order to be considerate of his subordinates and not hurt the peasants, he was a little hesitant. He did not order the deployment of troops immediately, and his determination was not strong enough.

Now it seems that I feel a little wrong.

"Liu Zeqing is taking the Laiwu route. It seems that he has a lot of feelings about our iron mines." Wang Yunfeng continued the previous report, and continued: "Last year the iron mines were fully sufficient for our own use. We began to sell them in small quantities. By this year At that time, the sales volume increased, and many merchants were asking whether we could supply large quantities normally. In order to stabilize the new market, we promised to supply large quantities...Now there is a shortage of iron everywhere, which naturally attracts attention. It is estimated that Liu Zeqing This time going north, I also made a stand for the people of Yanzhou, wanting to know what Laiwu means."

"I really don't know how to live or die." Zhang Shouren said without hesitation, "Tell Zhu Wangli to act according to the plan, don't worry about anything."

"Yes, my lord."

Wang Yunfeng agreed, and again truthfully reported what happened outside the governor's gate.

"Oh, just now, the two proprietors Qin and Li came over and mentioned this matter." Zhang Shouren was rarely depressed, but it was really embarrassing to encounter this matter at this time.

"Why don't you let the Secret Service take action?" Wang Yunfeng's eyes turned cold, and in a short while, Wang Dongzhu and the other leaders had already thought of more than 100 ways to die.

"You don't want to shoot casually."

Zhang Shouren warned him: "In the final analysis, this matter is that they were spoiled by me. Not only Jinan, but also Qingzhou, Dengzhou, and Laizhou. In order to promote business, to restore the vitality of the merchants, and to vent their anger on them... Big Tomorrow, the Son of Heaven doesn’t treat them as human beings, so I’m here to calm them down. Unexpectedly, they are a little bit angry. After all, they still don’t have confidence in me. They don’t believe me as a warrior. They would rather handle everything by themselves... From their point of view It’s not a big mistake, if I use force to stop it, use murder and force to solve it, then the merchants of the world will look at it, and my idea of ​​leading them to a new path will come to naught.”

"My lord, no matter how you say it, it's time to rectify the business houses in various places."

Wang Yunfeng is in charge of the Secret Service, so he naturally knows a lot. Apart from Jinan, there are commercial firms in Qingzhou Prefecture and Xiatou counties, as well as Dengzhou Prefecture and Laizhou Prefecture. extremely prosperous.

Strange to say, the more this happened, the more uneasy the businessmen became.

This is human nature. Now there is no one that has been introduced to tell everyone the best way to distribute profits. Everyone is fishing in the river. The water is so muddy that you can’t see where the fish are, and everyone’s appetite has already risen. This kind of chaos Under the circumstances, it is not surprising that Jinan has such a situation.

"I see," Zhang Shouren said leisurely, "There is a way to sort out the mess, but we have to deal with the situation in Jinan beforehand!"
