East Factory Governor

Chapter 387
Zhang Desheng hurriedly said, "Don't dare. We are businessmen in our duty, how dare we do this kind of business? Isn't this what you just said about helping the evildoers?"

Qin Shuhuai said, "Boss Zhang, if I let you do it, would you dare to do it?"

Zhang Desheng opened his mouth wide, not knowing how to answer, because he didn't know what Qin Shuhuai meant.

After being stunned for a long time, he said, "The more I listen, the more confused I become. What does Qin Shaobao mean? Please ask for instructions."

"What I mean is, after you go back, you go to make friends with those four merchants, and say that your Dachangji caravan also wants to do business in the south, and ask them if they have any connections. If there is a show, you should do it with them first. Let’s do a few more trips to gain the trust of those rogues.”

Zhang Desheng seemed to understand a little bit, and said in a low voice, "Shao Bao means to let our Zhang family pretend to collude with Zhang Thief first, and after he trusts us, we can help the officers and soldiers, right?"

Qin Shuhuai nodded appreciatively, "Boss Zhang is right. Now Zhang Xianzhong's troops are expanding rapidly, and their demand for salt and grain must be further intensified. If there is a suitable caravan to join the ranks of smuggling supplies for them, they will They are definitely welcome. But they are definitely worried about ordinary caravans, and your Zhang family is familiar with the shopkeepers of those four families, if one or several of them guarantee you, then you can definitely join!"

Zhang Desheng hesitated. After all, this matter was no small matter, and his wealth and life might have to be involved in it.

Qin Shuhuai knew his concerns, and said, "Boss Zhang, if you can help, your Zhang family will really contribute a lot to the great cause of eradicating bandits! I can tell you that when the time comes, your role will be at least Worth tens of thousands of officers and soldiers! In other words, your Zhang family’s contribution can save tens of thousands of officers and soldiers from death. Perhaps, it can also save tens of thousands of civilians from death!”

Zhang Desheng was a little tempted.

Qin Shuhuai continued, "If the Zhang family helps the court and Ming Dynasty to eliminate Zhang Xianzhong's confidant, I will ask the court for credit for you. The current emperor is the Holy Lord, and he will definitely not be stingy with the Zhang family. Needless to say, gold and silver rewards in time, it is not impossible to confer titles and officials, or even to confer merits and virtues. Boss Zhang, think about it carefully."

Zhang Desheng's eyes gradually brightened, and he seemed to see the bright future Qin Shuhuai described.

If there is such a day, it will really be a glorious ancestor and a glorious lintel!My Zhang family has received the favor of the emperor from this life onwards. In Jinzhong, oh no, even if we look at the entire Ming Dynasty, who else should we be afraid of?At that time, our Dachangji's business will be all over the world. Let's see where the government and the business will dare to embarrass us?
If the emperor rewarded him with another title, it would be even more serious!

This is what Qin Shaobao said. He is such a big man, such a big hero, he will definitely not talk nonsense!

This matter can be considered, seriously considered!

So he immediately said, "What Shaobao said is that we, as citizens of Ming Dynasty, should serve the imperial court when the country is in crisis. But this matter is no small matter, and I cannot be the master. I will report it to the master lightly, and then make a decision."

Qin Shuhuai nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for your reply. If you make a decision, you can send someone to the Governor's Mansion to look for me, but it's best to keep it secret."

"Understand it, understand it here."

It was not easy to walk in the snow, and at night they arrived at a village 30 miles away from Taiyuan City.After resting overnight in the village, we continued our journey the next day and finally arrived at Taiyuan City at noon.

Because Qin Shuhuai came here under a clear order, he sent Lai San'er to the city to report in advance.He needs to put on a good display of the imperial envoy, so that the officers and soldiers of Taiyuan City know that he, the imperial envoy, has arrived. This is very important for him to take over the military power of the Taiyuan camp in a few days.

Seeing this, Zhang Desheng and his party left first.Before entering the city, he also emphasized that when the old man at home made a decision, no matter whether he agreed or not, he would write back to Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai and the others arrived outside the city leisurely, only to find that there was only a little old man in his fifties who came out to greet him with a dozen people.The little old man also had a lazy look, he cupped his hands casually when he saw Qin Shuhuai, and then said, "The doctor of the Ministry of Officers and Soldiers, Wang Hannian of Shanxi Qingli Division, welcomes the imperial envoy Qin Shaobao into the city."

His words were full of disdain, and he didn't even look at Qin Shuhuai.

Qin Shuhuai knew very well that when he came to Taiyuan this time, the Donglin party members must have known about it in advance, and there is no doubt that they had already thought of a countermeasure.

This small episode was Yang He's attempt to show himself off.

But he was beyond reproach.Although the imperial envoys are big, they are not the emperor himself. Yang He, as the governor of the three sides and the chief official of the frontier, did not come to greet him on the grounds of his busy work, so there is nothing wrong with him anywhere.

Qin Shuhuai said to Wang Hannian calmly, "I'm sorry, please."

As he spoke, he urged the horse forward, intending to lead the crowd into the city.

But he didn't want Wang Hannian to say, "Qin Shaobao wait a minute!"

Qin Shuhuai stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

Wang Hannian pointed to the more than 1000 people behind Qin Shuhuai and said, "Back to Shaobao, the city of Taiyuan is densely populated and the roads are narrow. If Shaobao's army enters the city, it will definitely disturb the people. In addition, there are already too many troops stationed in Taiyuan City, and I am afraid it will not be able to accommodate the 1000 people." There are too many people, so Governor Yang means to invite the brothers under Shaobao to go to the Wuyuan camp [-] miles away from the city for a while, and wait for the garrison in the city to be adjusted, and then invite the brothers to enter the city."

Qin Shuhuai frowned, thinking that Taiyuan City is so big, how can it not accommodate such a small number of personal soldiers?It seems that Yang He did it on purpose.

Transfer my personal soldiers, what does he want to do?
Could it be that my plan to get rid of him was spotted by him?
Or... they Donglin Party want to kill me on three sides?
Not impossible!

These 500 people are nothing to the [-] soldiers in the entire Taiyuan camp, but they are of great significance to the competition for the Taiyuan Governor's Mansion!The control of the Governor's Mansion is directly related to the success or failure of this trilateral trip.

Therefore, these soldiers must not be transferred.

Just kidding, he said that if he is stationed thirty miles away, he will be stationed thirty miles away, so am I a fool?

Thinking of this, Qin Shuhuai said with a smile on his face, "Oh? This is the first time I've heard of this rule. These people are my own soldiers. I sent them to station thirty miles away, so why bring them here? use?"

Wang Hannian smiled disdainfully, "Qin Shaobao thought too much. When you enter Taiyuan City, the governor will naturally guarantee your safety. As for whether this is the first time you have heard of this rule, it doesn't matter. The important thing is that this is the three sides. Taiyuan, we all have to follow Governor Yang’s orders, don’t we?”

Qin Shuhuai smiled and said, "Then what if I say no?"

Wang Hannian glanced at Qin Shuhuai, thinking that this person is really arrogant due to his merits.
