Chapter 903 Just taking the opportunity to get money (Third update)
With Mr. Zhongcheng's character, he is really the most likely person to do such a thing. It just so happened that his right-hand man, Liu Guoneng's army, was brought from the north, and they were all outlaws, so they were naturally hostile to officials. They really won't be lenient when it comes to inspecting smuggling!
And when Mr. Zhongcheng was in a daze just now, he might have been communicating with the emperor in the capital. The reason why he issued this order so resolutely after he came to his senses was probably because he had the emperor's approval. With the emperor's support, he should be able to withstand the counterattack of the officials and gentry in Fujian and Guangdong, right? It’s just that as time goes by, I’m afraid it will be difficult to say.
Zheng Zhilong was thinking about these things, but he didn't say anything on the surface.
But Sun Chuanting didn't care what his subordinates thought. He issued orders one after another and asked his men to take action immediately.
At this time, he only cared about the emperor's wishes and whether he could successfully complete the governor's task and have enough merit to succeed the aging governor of the three provinces. In fact, before coming to the south, when he resigned in the capital palace, he already knew what he would eventually do to gain the emperor's approval when he came to the south.
As a member of the civil service, Sun Chuanting naturally knew what kind of reaction what he was going to do would bring among his colleagues. However, since you want to climb up, you have no choice. Only by being a good lone minister and being a lone minister who satisfies the emperor can one be successfully promoted.
Sun Chuanting would never forget the scene of that day while drinking wine and discussing heroes. However, among the people mentioned at that time, whether it was Lu Xiangsheng or Hong Chengchou, they were better than me now. If I don't work hard, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up with them in this life, let alone surpass them. The opportunity is only here!
Of course, only a martial artist could do something reckless. At least Sun Chuanting believed that he was not a martial artist. He had a plan in mind, and after withdrawing from the court, he summoned Liu Guoneng and gave him some instructions in a low voice.
…
In Fujian, there is a Minjiang River, which flows from northwest to southeast to Fuzhou and then flows into the sea. It can be said that if you want to reach Fuzhou where the Daming Shipping Company is located in the mainland, and then go to Taiping Port to go to sea, taking a boat south along the Minjiang River is the best way of transportation.
No, it's so lively with boats coming and going on the Minjiang River.
As the river narrowed as it approached Fuzhou, for some unknown reason, a long fleet of ships was parked here, just like a land traffic jam. On a large bow ship not far in front of the queue, a servant hurriedly entered the cabin and asked a middle-aged man The man reported: "Sir, there are soldiers blocking the river in front of you to patrol, and they said... and said..."
When the middle-aged man heard this, he frowned and shouted: "Hesitantly, tell me something quickly. Don't you see that Brother Wu and I are talking about something?"
When the servant heard this, he quickly replied: "Sir, those soldiers said that Master Zhongcheng has an order to strictly inspect the passing ships. Anyone who carries too many personal belongings will be severely punished according to the law!"
Upon hearing this, his master and Brother Wu next to him couldn't help but be stunned. But they came to their senses immediately, and Brother Wu asked the owner very worriedly: "Master Liao, this ship of porcelain..."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. I, Liao Tianyou, am a Juren family member, so what does it matter?" Liao Tianyou replied without hesitation. If he gave up halfway and didn't help Wu Kuida deliver this ship of porcelain, the one hundred taels of silver in benefits would be gone, and everything would be on the line soon. How could he be willing to accept it!
However, he seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then asked his servant: "Are there any ships ahead that will be punished?"
He didn't believe it. The boat in front of him didn't carry any personal belongings. With the previous example, he can handle it as appropriate.
"Not at all!" After hearing this, the servant immediately replied to his master, "It seems that it was just a talk, but I don't know if there was any money. Anyway, I didn't see the boat causing trouble, so I let it go, but it was released very quickly. slow!"
Upon hearing this, Liao Tianyou straightened up and said with disdain: "A group of warriors from the North just want to take this opportunity to make money!"
He thought about it with the soles of his feet. After the imperial court opened the sea, the sea trade channels were opened, and goods from various companies were shipped to Fuzhou for trade. The flow of goods and money was countless times more lively than before! Under such circumstances, it would be strange for those people from the North not to be jealous. They must be looking for an excuse to get rich!
His idea was exactly Wu Kuida's idea. However, it was about a ship of goods. Wu Kuida was still a little worried, so he said to Liao Juren: "I heard that Master Zhongcheng seemed to be a cold-blooded and ruthless character. I don't know how many bandits and pirates died in his hands! Since he came out I heard the notice, will it come true..."
"Haha, don't worry, Brother Wu!" After hearing this, Liao Juren immediately shook his head with a smile and said, "Look, those he ruthlessly and ruthlessly dealt with are just thieves. I have the reputation of being a judge, how can I be compared with those thieves? "
When Wu Kuida heard this, he thought that this was indeed the truth, so he nodded in agreement and complimented Liao Juren. The reason why he spent extra money to hire Liao Juren to "escort" him was because he was interested in his reputation as a juren!
Liao Juren was naturally happy after hearing his flattery, and put the matter behind him.
If he had known that Sun Chuanting sent high-ranking officials and generals such as political and political advisors to take risks in the pirate lair on New Year's Eve, he probably wouldn't think so. It's just that people outside basically don't know the real inside story, and they thought that Sun Chuanting had planned it for a long time. Therefore, they defeated Xu Xiang's main force who attacked the county town, and at the same time brought Xu Xiang's lair into chaos.
The boats were released very slowly, and it took a long time to release one boat! When Liao Juren finally arrived at the bow boat, he was already very impatient. In this regard, he was very impatient with the soldiers who came on board for inspection, so he wanted to take advantage of his status as the master of the people and scold the leader of the soldiers.
Strangely enough, other ships were released very slowly, and the inspection process was as slow as a snail. But as soon as the identity of the Juren master here was revealed, the inspection soldiers emphasized Master Zhongcheng's notice and quickly let him go. This release was so fast that even Liao Juren was a little surprised.
Seeing that the inspection checkpoint fell behind the ship, Wu Kuida felt sincerely that he was indeed Liao Juren. The treatment was indeed different from others, and the money was worth it.
So, he flattered him again, which made Mr. Liao feel very comfortable!
The pass here is actually very close to Fuzhou. It didn't take long for the ship to go down the river and arrive at the port of Fuzhou.
The two of them got out of the cabin and looked up at the dock. They suddenly found that the place was a little different from usual. The number of soldiers was several times what they had seen before.
