Why are you so anxious?

Jun Shaoyou said that he was not afraid of the old bones of the Liu family, but when things came to an end, he still had some concerns about the reputation of the Liu family among the Qingliu scholars.So before he visited Liu's house, he did a rather sinister thing.After the completion of the shipyard, how can it improve the commercial development of the Jiangnan area, how can it generate income for the government, how can it use the money generated to build bridges and pave roads, and how can it be used by the people? Gongzaiqiu and other achievements are compiled into storybooks called storytellers and even urchins and beggars are sung in the streets and alleys.In the end, they made things difficult for the people of the Liu family, and the shipyard retreated step by step, and the Liu family pressed every step of the way.

Trying to drive the Liu family to the south of the Yangtze River, down to the common people and merchants, and up to the opposite of the official family.

However, Jun Shaoyou had a good plan, and the Liu family's reaction was quick.The old man of the Liu family immediately wrote an article scolding that the construction of the shipyard was a great achievement, and it was a matter of competing for profits with the people, which noble officials disdain.Between the lines, I did not forget to imply that Jun Shaoyou, a man married into a popular man, has no literati's arrogance and arrogance. Such a person who is greedy for small profits and does not want fame, how can he talk about benefiting the people.It's just a false name.

In short, it was also a moral accusation against Jun Shaoyou. With his sharp words, he wished he could call Jun Shaoyou a national thief and a ghost in order to dispel his hatred.

As a result, a war of words between the two forces led by the two prevailed in the south of the Yangtze River.The old man of the Liu family has a very high prestige, and every time he writes an article, he is immediately praised among the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. These accumulations of contacts are something Jun Shaoyou can't resist now.However, Jun Shaoyou is not helpless. He directly bought a small workshop, secretly fiddled with newspapers and circulated them in the streets and alleys, restaurants and teahouses. In addition, many legends and folk gossip were searched and published on the sub-page, which made not only literati who could read and write, but also traffickers and pawns very curious about the contents of the newspaper.Naturally, there are also storytellers who can read and tell the contents of the newspaper to everyone. After this, many people gradually understand many policies issued by the imperial court in the scolding battle between the two sides.As for the pros and cons of it, it is natural that everyone has their own calculations in their minds.

Jun Shaoyou used newspapers to win over the small merchants and common people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Naturally, not to be outdone, the Liu family began to run around, uniting with the major families in the south of the Yangtze River to fight against Jun Shaoyou and the Yongan Wang lineage behind Jun Shaoyou.They are all literati and Confucian scholars, cursing people with pens and beating people with foam. Under such a grand occasion, Jun Shaoyou was scolded almost to the point of bruising. Zhuang Lin, who controls the power of the Jiangnan navy, could not wield a sword even though he was not angry. To avenge his daughter-in-law.Therefore, he has always had a headache dealing with these families of literati. Even though he had ascended to that position in his previous life, controlled the military power in the world, and drove those family members out of the temple, he could only let those so-called celebrities The old man cursed his stupid emperor, after all, he couldn't follow Qin Shihuang's example, burn books and confuse scholars, and kill those weak and weak scholars who chattered endlessly.

Zhuang Lin in the previous life couldn't help it, but Zhuang Lin in this life naturally has a better way.He could only vent all his anger on the martial arts field with a sullen head. The direct impact was that the strength of the Jiangnan navy became stronger and the title of Zhuang Lin's devil became louder. Of course, corresponding to it, the so-called military spirit also more and more stable.

Like Stockholm Syndrome, the stricter Zhuang Lin was to those big soldiers, the more food and food he gave after that, the more contribution he made to suppress the banditry, the stronger the sense of belonging of the soldiers to the Jiangnan Navy. Zhuang Lin became more loyal.Faintly, under Zhuang Lin's deliberate and unobtrusive training, the current Jiangnan navy has shown signs that they only know King Yong'an but not the court.

But fortunately, this kind of subtle practice made everyone fail to notice the vision. Everyone's eyes were almost focused on the battle between Jun Shaoyou and the Liu family and even the Jiangnan family, the customs office organized by Yan Song, and even the Jiangnan family's faint appearance There are signs of mutual infighting.The fire caused by the instability of people's hearts and unequal interests not only disrupted the current situation in Jiangnan, but the vigorous performance covered up the undercurrent surging under the calm water, waiting for the undercurrent to accumulate power and trigger a tsunami, maybe some complacent people will be able to Suddenly repented.But by then, it was too late.

It is worth mentioning that when Jun Shaoyou established the newspaper, he did not put advertising and investment, a money-making tool, into the newspaper because he considered that the old man of the Liu family accused him of competing for profit with the people in the article.But the shrewd and capable businessmen of Da Chu still saw unlimited business opportunities from the small newspapers flying all over the sky.After the first shopkeeper of a certain wine shop came to the newspaper office with gold and silver flattery, Jun Shaoyou had to lament their keen sense of smell for the businessmen who came here one after another after hearing the news.

To some extent, in fact, Jun Shaoyou is also a businessman by nature, and he also seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. Every time he does something, he must measure whether the ratio of contribution to income is appropriate.Therefore, Jun Shaoyou was really reluctant to push the money that came to his door.What's more, since the preparation of the newspaper, the public opinion weapon under its control is also different from that at the beginning, and while Jun Shaoyou vaguely regards the Jiangnan family as an opponent, he is also ready to win over small and medium-sized merchants, and even the people of Jiangnan.So he readily agreed to the requests of many merchants, and drew a small area on the newspaper to publish the news of the sales of various shops and so on.It even used this as an excuse to organize a joint chamber of commerce for small and medium-sized merchants, and elected a highly respected and well-known Confucian merchant as the chairman of the chamber of commerce, and formulated various chambers of commerce systems to facilitate the cooperation between small and medium-sized merchants. The combination of the two can not only exchange news and exchange needs, but slowly, small merchants who consider themselves a family will form a rope while uniting against the big family, and this kind of power that is still very tender, when After they developed, they were the sharp weapon that Jun Shaoyou wanted most.

You must know that even in later generations, the so-called financial tycoons and capital tycoons are in the minority. They seem to be proud of themselves and can control the people or even a country. However, the most active in the market and the most purchasing power can support a country. The prosperity of the country is always the most ordinary people.

And these so-called ordinary people, from the perspective of feudalism, are exactly where the hearts of the people lie.

Compared with the vast sea, the dripping water is just a drop in the vast ocean, which cannot be seen.However, the so-called vast sea is not formed by the fusion of drops of water.

Water can carry a boat and capsize it. How can they really go to war just because of a small dispute?

However, in the eyes of Emperor Yongqian, who was far away in the capital, it was precisely because of the pressure of the Jiangnan family that the lineage of King Yong'an saw the tricks and tossed out newspapers, chambers of commerce, etc., so that Emperor Yonggan gradually felt helpless. something in control.When Emperor Yongqian's spies in the south of the Yangtze River reported that all these disasters were caused by the second prince Zhuang Zhou's confidants hidden in the envoy colluding with the Liu family, he couldn't help cursing in his heart that mud can't support the wall.

At the same time, the tightly wrinkled sword eyebrows also showed Emperor Yongqian's concern about the chaotic forms in the south of the Yangtze River.As a last resort, Emperor Yongqian had no choice but to secretly order the Jiangnan spies to keep an eye on the situation in Jiangnan more closely, and sent a highly respected confidant—Xiao Yun, the virtuous and filial duke who also served as the teacher of the eldest prince, to Jiangnan. Assist Jun Shaoyou in running the shipyard, and check and balance the increasingly rampant Jiangnan family.Of course, he had to instruct this confidant minister in secret to understand the operation of the newspaper and the chamber of commerce as quickly as possible. If possible, it would be best to hold these two things firmly in his hands.

At the same time, Emperor Yongqian had no choice but to vent his anger on the second prince Zhuang Zhou who caused the evil.

Zhuang Zhou, who had been inexplicably reprimanded many times, didn't quite understand the depression in Emperor Yongqian's heart. He just resented that Emperor Yonggan always had a heart-to-heart and supportive attitude towards Zhuang Lin at any time.Under the resentment, he naturally secretly sent his confidants to Jiangnan, trying to win over those Jiangnan families who were increasingly at odds with King Yong'an.

At the same time that Jun Shaoyou's fight with the old man of the Liu family was in full swing, the customs office that Yan Song was preparing for also started its business smoothly.Because he got the fairly detailed charter drafted by Jun Shaoyou from Emperor Yongqian as early as in the capital, and because his family and countless aristocratic families are good contacts of old friends and old friends, Yan Song worked very well at the very beginning. smoothly.At least in the lobbying to persuade all the families to stand on the same front, Yan Song saved a lot of talking than Jun Shaoyou.

However, this success was only maintained at the initial stage.As we all know, the ancients said that it is easier to see flowers than to embroider them. Experience on paper tells us that any thing described in books can be easily solved, but when something is really implemented in reality, no matter the right time, place or people The inconsistency of peace and harmony can screw up an otherwise feasible thing.Especially people and this one.

Yan Song is now in this predicament.

The sudden emergence of new things in the customs, and the regulations of the customs that are only active on paper but have already shown huge benefits, especially the huge power shown in taxation and supervision measures, have made people who are increasingly familiar with its functions The big family started to go crazy.As if they were sharks that smelled blood, these ancient but powerful families were not satisfied with the benefits assigned to them by Yan Song at the beginning of the agreement, which they thought were pretty good.

Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Customs Yamen, when the preparations for overseas trade and even the country's prestige were still in progress, the major families assembled by Yan Song had differences on the upcoming distribution of benefits.

In fact, this kind of phenomenon is extremely simple. People in the world seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, especially aristocratic families are masters who do not see rabbits and do not spread eagles. Yan Song has long clearly understood this.He thought he was well prepared.However, he still underestimated the thick-skinned and dark-hearted nature of the Jiangnan family, as well as their disposition to drive away interests.

The south of the Yangtze River has been prosperous since ancient times, and the prosperous business inherited from many dynasties made all the aristocratic families maintain the aloofness of the so-called literati on the surface. However, in reality, which aristocratic family did not rely on their own strong strength to buy thousands of hectares of fertile land and shops. countless.Therefore, the aristocratic families who talk about it have become unknowingly chasing profits like businessmen.Even their temperament is more greedy and appetite than those ordinary merchants.After all, under the classification class of scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen have various shackles, and the reality of being fish and meat makes them be cautious and weigh risks in everything they do.However, the aristocratic family doesn't have to worry so much, because the tongue is always in their hands.Because of this, the Liu family brazenly made things difficult for Jun Shaoyou, who was planning to build the shipyard, for various reasons.

It's a pity that the Liu family didn't think about it, or didn't fully consider Jun Shaoyou's means of manipulating public opinion, so that they are now caught in a war of words and have no time to spare themselves. less excellent.But the Liu family is nothing more than a family at best, and the verbal criticism of Jun Shaoyou from many aristocratic families is nothing more than superficial rain. The ferocity of the bayonet.

However, there are many families in the south of the Yangtze River. When they huddled together for various reasons or got entangled in their own camps, tore away the appearance of being gentle and gentle, and began to be desperate for their own interests, let alone Jun Shaoyou and Yong'an Wang. Even Emperor Yonggan, who controls the power of the world, will feel a headache.

But now, Yan Song is fortunate to taste this headache.He looked at the invitations sent by the great families, and the indescribable meaning revealed between the lines, and began to faintly realize that maybe Jun Shaoyou had no good intentions when he drafted the brochure, maybe he already understood He realized that Emperor Yongqian would not entrust him with the preparation of the customs office, so he dug so many big holes in the booklet.But the ultimate goal is to take this opportunity to make the Yan family and the Jiangnan family become hostile to each other due to conflicts of interest, and even break up.

The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the world is for profit.Although people often say that only villainous people gather together for profit, in reality no one is a real gentleman. The so-called old friends from the past are naturally not worth the immediate benefits.

Jun Shaoyou understood this very clearly before his death in the last life, and now, Yan Song, who has always been smooth sailing, is probably also quite emotional.

However, Yan Song, who was obviously cheated, didn't have much resentment towards Jun Shaoyou.Because he was always the one who cut off the Hu first, now that he is not as skilled as others, he has been calculated, and he has to blame the person who dug the pit for being too vicious. Yan Song, who claims to be quite rich in the city, can't do such a naive and boring thing.

What's more, the small uneven distribution of benefits that has emerged today may not be really helpless for Yan Song.As an heir carefully cultivated by a big family, Yan Song can stand the test of the ups and downs of the temple, and naturally he can also survive this small storm.

But Yan Song obviously didn't expect that when Jun Shaoyou was digging a hole in Shangzhezi, he didn't think of embarrassing Yan Song at all.In other words, the main target is not on Yan Song, but on Zhuang Zhou who is far away in the capital and holds the nominal advantage in the fight for heir.

Jun Shaoyou concluded that with Zhuang Zhou's greedy and short-sighted nature, he would never watch Zhuang Lin's line flourish in the south of the Yangtze River and ignore it.No matter from which point of view, Zhuang Zhou will definitely intervene in Jiangnan affairs, so as to ensure his advantage in seizing the heir.

That's why Jun Shaoyou made such a copy, the fundamental purpose was to lure the second prince's lineage to take over the customs office, and thus come to Jiangnan, and also gave Zhuang Zhou a reason to intervene in Jiangnan.

So Yan Song will suddenly discover that his real enemy is not the Jiangnan family at a critical juncture, nor is it Jun Shaoyou who hides behind the family and stirs up the wind and rain, but Zhuang who blindly wins over the Jiangnan family because he is far away in the capital. Prince Tuesday.

Yan Song found out that he had just settled a family in the first place, and later Zhuang Zhou promised many things recklessly to win over the Jiangnan family who had an ambiguous position. Not so majestic and reliable, and the two voices from one team also made the officials who were also under Yan Song's command feel at a loss.Those officials whose wealth and life are inseparable from the Yan family are happy because they don't have to make difficult choices.However, such people are still a minority after all. Although the remaining officials are also attached to the Yan family, there are naturally some opportunistic people who use the Yan family as a stepping stone, trying to finally give their allegiance to the aristocratic second prince, and the team The lineage of King Yong'an originally hidden in it, the chess pieces of the Jiangnan family, the eyeliner placed by Emperor Yongqian, etc...

The situation is getting more and more complicated.In the end, even Yan Song's position in his own camp became slightly awkward.

Looking at the second prince's confidant who repeatedly sabotaged his plans, Yan Song suddenly felt dumbfounded.

It's really better to be a godly opponent than a pig teammate!

But at the moment when the situation was anxious, Jun Shaoyou's sudden move broke the situation again.This time, it wasn't just Yan Song who had a headache.
