People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 118 The southeastern gentry begged Chen Han to let him go! Emperor Wanli pointed his sword at the eight major Shanxi merchants! !
A servant from the Governor's Office ran over: "Sir! Those big figures from the Chamber of Commerce have bought a lot of gifts, and now they are kneeling at the door of our house and saying that they want to see you!"

Chen Han didn't even raise his eyelids: "Let them kneel for a while, I don't have time to see them now!"

It was strange for the servants to see that Chen Han was just enjoying Guo Feixue's massage and not doing anything important.

He was born and raised in Hangzhou Prefecture, and he admired the wealthy people in the Chamber of Commerce, but his master actually made those people kneel at the door.

The entrance to the Governor's Palace is a bustling place with people coming and going.

It would be unseemly to be seen with people coming and going.

The servant walked away full of questions.

Guo Feixue waited until the servant walked away and then asked: "Sir, you are now known as Master Qingtian by the people outside, but my servants don't think you look like Master Qingtian at all."

Chen Han asked back: "What should Mr. Qingtian look like? His face is as black as the bottom of a pot, and there must be a crescent moon on his forehead?"

Guo Feixue burst into laughter when she heard Chen Han's words, "You are talking about Mr. Bao on the stage! What I mean is that you control the 'Japanese pirates', 'pirates' and our White Lotus Sect. Logically speaking, You should be a very busy person now.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s talk about my father, a small helmsman of the Southeast Branch. He is so busy that he can’t be seen all day long. How different is it from you. He is either listening to the theater or strolling around the West Lake. He is very leisurely.

What you do most now is to look for brands in the house, or get under someone else's bed.

"Japanese pirates" and "pirates" have been handed over to Major General Li Rusong, Bailian Jiao has been handed over to Wang Hu, and all major coordination matters have been handed over to Mr. Xu. You have become a hands-off shopkeeper, so you are not afraid of the people below. Fooling you? "

After listening to Guo Feixue's words, Chen Han showed a proud smile on his lips.

“When I was reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, there was a plot that impressed me deeply.

Sima Yi caught a Shu soldier and asked him what Zhuge Liang was in charge of.

Xiaobing replied: From the prime minister to the logistics to the command of the troops, we do everything personally.

Sima Yi laughed loudly after hearing this and said, Zhuge Liang must be dead soon.

Sure enough, Zhuge Liang died of illness in Wuzhangyuan not long after. "

Guo Feixue snorted after hearing this: "You mean the more you take care of me, the more tired you will be."

Chen Han nodded: "Yes! This not only shows that Zhuge Liang has no priority, but also shows that Ji Han has no talents available.

On the other hand, Li Rusong, although young, came from a family of generals in Liaodong. He grew up in the military and had the same experience in leading troops as many battle-hardened generals.

Although Wang Hu was just a government official, he was a calm man.

Although your father is an opportunist, without the protection of the White Lotus Sect's chief helmsman, his only support now is Pontus. If he doesn't work hard, he will have to face the crisis of being surrounded on all sides. Who says he can't do his best for Pontus?
As for Mr. Xu, his eclectic personality coincides with Ben's. What Ben wants to do is what he wants to do. With such a good stage to perform, do you think he is willing to waste it?
With these few people helping Benz take care of everything, does Benz need to worry about it himself? "

After listening to Chen Han's words, Guo Feixue suddenly realized that this was the reason why Chen Han was not in a hurry.

"Do you still see people outside?"

Chen Han laughed and said, "Why did Bendu see them doing this? Have you ever seen anyone meet with a dead person?"

"Do you want them to leave?"

"Why go? Benz has always liked the beauty of adults. If they like to kneel, let them kneel for a while longer!!"

……

Beijing.

It's still in the small secret room.

The notes burned one after another.

[Good news, we have already contacted the eight major Shanxi merchants in Shanxi. They are willing to use their many years of doing business in Tatar territory to encourage the Tatar tribe to go south. At that time, they will go directly south to the capital via Zhangjiakou. 】

After seeing the note, one of the two people opposite asked. [Although we are members of the Jin Party, these business people will not give away their profits easily. What do they want from helping us this time? 】

For these greedy Shanxi merchants, even officials from Shanxi are disgusted with these people, especially eight of them, Qiao, Chang, Cao, Hou, Qu, Kang, Fan, and Kong. The relationship between Shanxi and Tatar is that some of the businesses involved are the smuggling of salt, iron, and grain and grass, and they make a lot of money.

But just because of this, if court officials come into contact with them, they will be suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and they will have a bad reputation.

[It’s not profitable to start early. They are helping us because their business in the southeast was destroyed by Chen Han. They are also helping themselves by helping us kill Chen Han. 】

Saying this made the remaining two people more acceptable.

Shanxi merchants can be said to be the largest business group in the Ming Dynasty. They have hundreds of millions of assets but have no national integrity and only know how to pursue profits.

Even in the later period, for their sake, they directly transported grain, grass, ironware, salt and other strategic materials to the Jurchens who were rising in Liaodong.

Although it is inevitable for capital to pursue profit, it was not destroyed in the Ming Dynasty. The eight major Shanxi merchants relied on the Ming Dynasty to start their business, but they betrayed the interests of the Ming Dynasty to this extent.

Besides, they are still Han people. They are simply the Ming Dynasty version of traitors, which is inexcusable.

So even people like Jin Dang are more cautious.

Because even before the end of the Ming Dynasty, these Shanxi merchants were still doing business with foreign tribes such as the Tatars in the north and the Jurchens in Liaodong.

The three people were very angry when they said this, and then they threw the paper in their hands on the ground.

"If Chen Han and His Majesty hadn't been so aggressive, why would I have cooperated with those traders?"

They stopped writing on slips of paper and were filled with anger when they said this.

The other person hurriedly stopped what he was saying, and then scribbled a few words on the paper.

[My dear friend, I must be careful. Now the Dongchang Jinyi Guards are closely monitoring us. Now I can only make do with compromises. Only when the obstacles in front of me are cleared will I be able to turn around. 】

……

Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Wanli is assigning tasks to Cao Zhengchun.

"These people are so anxious that they can neither warn me with a fire in the treasury nor cause me to fall into the water and die.

As expected, they still resorted to attracting foreigners to rob the capital and warn me. Such tactics are just to fool ordinary people, how can they touch me.

Cao Zhengchun, you have to go there personally this time. If the Tatars want to invade the Ming Dynasty, they must go to Zhangjiakou.

Zhangjiakou is not far from Shanxi! ! "

As he said this, Emperor Wanli took out a stack of notes.

It clearly marks the families and positions of the eight major Shanxi merchants today.

"I have always wanted to know how much money these eight Shanxi merchants have.
Now I finally have the opportunity to obtain it without spending a single soldier.

Your task is to do everything you can to turn these Tartar bastards into my Ming thugs.

It's your business to figure it out. I only want one result, do you understand? "

Cao Zhengchun nodded: "Old slave, I obey!"

Emperor Wanli said again: "What I want this time is not just the eight major Shanxi merchants, but also the heads and property of all the traders who participated in the traitorous behavior. Do you understand?"

Cao Zhengchun nodded, but soon he asked: "But Your Majesty, how can you ensure the safety around you?"
