Chapter 437 Wang Xuan's Uneasiness

This time it was not a letter, but a person who came back directly. The news was more complicated, and a letter could not be explained clearly.

The person who came back was from the Special Forces. He was a guard who followed Li Shantang to Beijing this time. When he saw Wang Xuan, he immediately knelt down on one knee, "This subordinate has seen the Lord."

"Well, get up and tell me, what's important this time, you need to go there yourself."

The guard crackled, and then handed over a letter, which contained a coded letter, the message level was too high, and the guard could not know it.

Wang Xuan couldn't help laughing twice after reading it. It turned out that after Li Shantang entered Beijing, he first contacted some officials in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces in a low-key manner. , The understanding of Beijing and China is too rough.

He is old and prudent in his work, so he doesn't want to attack rashly. On the other hand, Wang Xuan also contacted some low-level officials of Jingzhong Jinyiwei through Fujian Jinyiwei before, and got a lot of information. Of course, it was not too confidential. And showed it to Li Shantang to help him understand the situation.

After more than ten days like this, Li Shantang decided to make preparations before starting to attack everywhere. He followed Wang Xuan's way and directly made money to make way.

The feeling of spending money like water is really intoxicating. Huge pearls and half-meter-high pink coral are all rare treasures, and they are often more useful than gold and silver. For Wang Xuan, it should be easier to obtain.

Otherwise, how could there be such a large number.

He calculated carefully and kept a lot of real gold and silver. In fact, he also understood that for the people at the top, there was no shortage of gold and silver. On the contrary, such extraordinary treasures that could increase their status were more cherished.

This time, Wang Xuan also arranged for him some calligraphy and paintings by famous masters, and a few night pearls the size of a baby's fist, which he gave away in the name of Chongbao. Sweet potato, Emperor Wanli ignored the government, so he directly took it down.

There was no disturbance at all during the period, but Wang Xuan was very satisfied.

After Li Shantang took office, he bought a large mansion in the middle of the capital. In addition, Wang Xuan's subordinates who accompanied him bought more than a dozen houses in all directions of the capital as a place to stay and communicate in secret.

After taking office, Li Shantang didn't care about the shit on the surface, but actually secretly collected information on the entire military department. Of course, he didn't plan to report anything, but he was just prepared...

On the other hand, Li Shantang's main focus is on befriending the dignitaries in Beijing, especially the prince's mansion that Wang Xuan handed over. Nowadays, the position of the prince is very reluctant, and there are not many ministers who are willing to make friends with, or in other words, the real officials of one side He didn't take the prince seriously. The prince is too lonely and lonely, and he is also a puppet after succeeding to the throne.

Of course, this is a tacit understanding between all parties, and no one will break the balance first with the intention of using the new emperor to expand its power, otherwise it will be a form of group attack.

The energies of all parties were focused on fighting for power and profit. Finally, a senior member of the court was willing to take care of the crown prince, which naturally aroused the crown prince's favor.

It's just that Li Shantang handled it quite well, he looked like a newcomer entering the capital, and all ghosts and snakes worshiped him, as if no one would offend him, and he didn't attract too much attention.

Quietly, naturally the prince saw the drunken mortal, and then let everything take its course, married into the prince's mansion, and was just a selected servant. It was not a major event that shocked the government and the public, so naturally no one cared.

In addition, the vacancy of the governor of Fujian has also attracted many people's eyes. All these can be regarded as the troubles brought about by Li Shantang's entry into Beijing. Set your sights on Fujian.

Even if he didn't say it himself, everyone believed that the reason why Li Shantang had such financial resources must be because he searched for it in Fujian. In this way, the formerly worthless governor of Fujian suddenly became a favorite.

All of a sudden, all the families or forces interested in vying for the governor of Fujian came to visit and befriend Li Shantang one after another. The purpose was to get some advice. After all, being an official is one thing, but getting money is another.

As a result, Li Shantang was in a bit of a dilemma. He didn't know whether to release the news about Wang Xuan. Although many people knew that there was a Wang Xuan in Fujian, they didn't know more about it.

After all, it is ancient times, and the speed of information dissemination is extremely slow. Even if some news spread about how domineering Wang Xuan is, the king of Fujian, murderous people, and being rebelled at every turn, everyone would not believe it.

Now, Li Shantang needs Wang Xuan to have a clear attitude. How much should he say?

Wang Xuan listened to all kinds of information all afternoon before he understood clearly. The first thing he did was to send a letter to Li Shantang from Feige. It can be said that the evidence has been established, and there is no need to hide it now, but there is no need to say too much. Seven points is enough, I'm afraid no one will believe me if I say it all...

As for the new governor of Fujian, Wang Xuan doesn't care about whoever he loves. If he is obedient, he will do it honestly. If he is not obedient, he will give him a concrete block.

In addition, Wang Xuan still needs Li Shantang to do something. In fact, Wang Xuan fell in love with two people, two men, don't get me wrong, they are looking for talent.

One is Hong Chengchou, a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, and a person from Quanzhou Prefecture. He was also absorbed into Linfeng Academy before.

But when collecting the list of candidates in Fujian Province, Wang Xuan also saw Hong Chengchou's name, which he remembered deeply.

He served as the governor of Shaanxi Province and participated in politics. He made many military exploits in the peasant uprisings in the late Ming Dynasty. He was promoted to the governor of the three sides of Shaanxi.

Not to mention why he surrendered to my Qing Dynasty, nor whether he was a traitor, but Jiao Qi himself was indeed a rare capable minister in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. Moreover, in this life, Wang Xuan intervened, "My Qing Dynasty 'It's not in Wang Xuan's eyes at all, so he is going to get Hong Chengchou under his command.

Only with himself, Hong Chengchou can give full play to his ingenuity, and in the hands of others, it must be a hidden gem.

Another person who received Wang Xuan's attention was Yuan Chonghuan, a native of Shijie, Dongguan, Guangdong. .

For more than a year, what Qi Hongliang has done in Guangdong is to inquire about all the big and small families in Guangdong, and try to provide detailed information. Xuan saw.

Yuan Chonghuan, in later generations, can be said to have mixed praise and criticism, and there is no conclusion. However, he was able to stand out in the troubled times of the late Ming Dynasty and achieve mixed praise and criticism. He is considered an absolute hero, much better than those who do nothing.

At least it is much better than Qian Qianyi who only derogates but not praises.

He has talent, but how much he can display and whether he can control it depends on the superior person, and Wang Xuan believes that there is no one he can't control!

Even now, Wang Xuan felt that there was a lack of talents, and he needed to worry about many things, which was really annoying.

It happened that Li Shantang was asked to take action this time, and both of them were sent to the Ministry of War, so that they could have a good experience and spend more time on the dark side of the court. Wang Xuan couldn't hold it back, it would be bad to make it into a concrete block, and besides, he didn't have the heart to train these two people.

What the hell is it not a cute loli, silly old men, the task of training is still left to Li Shantang.

……

On this day, Liu Wenju, the Patriarch of the Liu Family in Ningbo, arrived, and Wang Xuan specially took the time to meet him.

The development speed of Xiaoliuqiu is very fast, among which Liu Wenju contributed a lot, mainly because he obtained a lot of cattle and horses from the Jurchens through the relationship in the north. Big demand.

For this reason, Wang Xuan specially arranged for the shipyard to specially improve a ship type. The second and third decks are basically made transparent, which is good for storing cattle and horses. Survival rate and carrying quantity.

Now, the head of the Liu family transports a large amount of cloth, salted fish, silk, porcelain, tea, and steel utensils from Fuzhou every time to the Jurchens in exchange for a large amount of cattle, horses and sheep, as well as large logs that can be used to build ships. He earned a lot of money, and even several families in Ningbo who were close to him also joined in to do this business exclusively.

Although the profit of a single trip is not as good as that of the Japanese route, but it is too much to go back and forth. It is safe and stable. Overall, the profit is greater than that of the Japanese route.

This time I came to see Wang Xuan and recruited him because I had a task for him.

Li Shantang successfully won the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, and Wang Xuan promised his help to stabilize the situation in Kanto, so that he, Minister of the Ministry of War, could do more stably and maybe have a chance to go further.

As soon as Patriarch Liu saw Wang Xuan, he immediately saluted respectfully. The more he got in touch with him, the more he knew how terrifying Wang Xuan's power was. "The villain has seen Mr. Wuzhou."

"Well, no courtesy, sit down." Wang Xuan sat there and said hello, and after leading Patriarch Liu to finish, he continued: "I called you here this time because I have a task for you."

Patriarch Li's heart moved, it's a good thing, being able to take over Wang Xuan's task shows that his status in Wang Xuan's heart is one step closer, "Please also ask Mr. Wuzhou to order."

"You go to Liaodong this time, and meet Yang Gao, the governor of Liaodong, and ask him to buy someone."

"Yang Gao, buy someone?" Patriarch Liu looked astonished.

"Yes, to buy people, I want to buy out the people of Liaodong outside the pass." Wang Xuan said firmly, "Although there are not many people in Liaodong outside the pass, they live under the threat of the Jurchens' iron hoofs all year round, and they are always facing the threat of being killed by the Jurchens." danger of looting."

"Many times, being burned, killed and looted by the Jurchens, women being abused, and men being captured as slaves in a coat, is simply a hell on earth. Even though I was in Fujian, I couldn't help but cry in my heart when I heard about such tragedies."

"However, the Jurchen's cruelty and the incompetence of the court have caused the people to suffer so much. How can I feel at ease, but I am far away, even if I want to rescue them, I can't do it. So I came up with such a method."

"Regardless of men, women, old or young, five taels of silver per person, you can go to Yang Gao to buy them, and buy back all the people outside the pass, living between Daming and the Jurchens."

"Of course, it must be a complete family. Don't just arrest the elderly, children and women for me. This is also to prevent them from killing people. I believe this price will impress them."

"What the hell is the emigration of the people of Daming equal to abandoning the country, and there is a crime of losing the land. It is said that people ran away by themselves, or were captured by the Jurchens, and they have money to take, and they don't have to take responsibility. I believe these wars A third-rate guy will jump on it as if he saw fresh hot shit."

Patriarch Liu was stunned when he heard that, you, the murderer, Wang Xuan, would you feel uneasy?Can't help crying?I really believe in your ghost!
The whole Fujian people are migrating here and there, thinking I don't know?
"Mr. Wuzhou!" Patriarch Liu burst into tears suddenly, which startled Wang Xuan.
