Anti-Qing: I'm actually an honest person

Chapter 107 Yao Qisheng with a sick mind (4k)

Speaking of Chaozhou, when Liu Dapao received the report from the capital, he was also very surprised to be honest.

To be honest, he was already ready to turn his back on him. Although Wu Sangui hadn't turned back yet, it was actually a very, very reasonable thing for him to support himself. Kangxi actually had nothing to do with him.

But he didn't expect the power of stocks to be so great, and four princes came to intercede for him. Who knows when he had such a big face, what else could he say?It can only be said that Wei Xiaobao is amazing, he asked him to sell stocks, but he sold all of them to the princes and Baylors. This errand is really beautiful!
In this way, I can maintain my personality as a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty for a while longer.

And knowing that Kangxi really agreed to let those Shanxi merchants set up a company to go public in the capital, he really couldn't hold back, and couldn't help showing an amiable smile.

That is the smile from the heart of the hardworking old farmer when he sees the strong leeks.

Wei Xiaobao can do it, before he was worried that he would not work because he was in a dilemma, but now it seems that the worry was in vain, he actually completed all the tasks he gave him, and it was so fast, without any discount.

Hao Duo was dumbfounded when he saw this result.

Is it me... am I out of date?

Invitation to buy military spirit, 600 million taels of silver, a lot of money, just put it down so lightly?Not even a reprimand!
Oh, it can't be said that there wasn't even a reprimand, Prince Yue Le, Prince of Tong'an in Zhenghuang Qizheng, personally wrote a personal letter to him, scolding him bloody.

Hao Duo can't even fix it. The last time I had a conflict with Liu Xun, Wei Xiaobao, the deputy governor of Zhenghuangqi, came over to punish me. This time, I had a conflict with Zhengdu. Yellow flag!Liu Xun didn't have the sky-reaching pattern either!

In desperation, Hao Duo had no choice but to personally apologize to Liu Dapao with the thank you gift. He accepted it. He really accepted it now. , I don't care about him.

If he really set up the banner of anti-Qing and Fuming, then he would have to run away, and a stock worth 600 million taels of silver would cover the sky with one hand on this three-acre land in Chaozhou.

Liu Dapao was so embarrassed that he felt a little sympathetic to Hao Duo.

As for Yu Chenglong mentioned in the imperial decree, he didn't take it to heart at all. If he can accept it, he will accept it, and if he can't accept it, he will kill him. Zu himself came in person, and Liu Dapao is not afraid now.

Even deep down in his heart, he wished that Yu Chenglong would come here quickly, because he was really too busy now, and he really wanted to have a deputy who could share it with him.

Of course, besides Jackie Chan, another official, Yao Qisheng, who was airborne from the imperial court, has already taken office. Zhou Peigong also ran under his command.

I remember that I had a deep impression of this old man when I watched the Kangxi Dynasty in my previous life, but the Kangxi Dynasty is an old historical suspension drama, and Liu Dapao also knows not to take it too seriously.

I only know that when he was the county magistrate in Xiangshan, he had openly defied the imperial court's ban on the sea and organized people to do business with Luo Dongni, and he and Luo Dongni were old acquaintances, but because of this, although the people in Xiangshan Rich, but he also lost his official position, and he didn't know how to lick it, but he still survived, so that although his official status was gone, his reputation was the boss.

Even after Yao Qisheng abandoned his official position, he was still able to go into business and made a lot of money. This matter itself is full of weirdness. If it is said that he does not have a big backer to help him, Liu Dapao will never agree. will believe it.

Well, now that the sea is allowed, many people have already recommended Yao Qisheng to Chaozhou to find a job to him and the court, and even Luo Dongni solemnly recommended him to himself, if it wasn’t for this person’s previous starting point It's too low, and it's impossible to say that he can directly be the prefect of Chaozhou Prefecture.

At this time, the magistrate of Chaozhou Prefecture is still temporarily absent, and Liu Dapao is too busy to manage the civil affairs at all, so in fact, Yao Qisheng is already acting as the magistrate.

When Cao Cao arrived, Liu Dapao was thinking about how to deal with the future Yu Chenglong, when he saw Yao Qisheng walking in with his neck bent and his neck bent, taking small steps.

"My lord, my subordinate Yao Qisheng has something important to report."

"Oh, sit down then, what's the matter?"

"I have three things to report to your lord. The first one is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ah came over quietly and said, "My lord, Master is back."

"Oh? Old Wu is finally willing to come back? Where is he?"

"Master came here with a caravan from Yunnan. The Yunnan merchants are very interested in West Pacific Company. Apart from delivering some goods this time, it is also to discuss with you about becoming a shareholder. Now they are outside the city. It's time to talk."

Liu Dapao frowned slightly when he heard the words, and before he could say anything, he saw Yao Qisheng dissatisfied and said: "Where are the Yunnan merchants from Yunnan? The slightly larger merchant chambers in the province can only serve as slaves to King Pingxi. This so-called Yunnan Shang Ming is clearly the mission sent by King Pingxi, my lord, this is the first thing I want to tell you."

"How to say?"

"I just received the news that Wu Sangui has recommended his aide Liu Xuanchu to be the magistrate of Chaozhou. He should be in this so-called caravan. Although King Pingxi has apparently agreed to withdraw the feudal clan, no one will I don't know if there will be any troubles in the future. Now that he sent a caravan to Chaozhou, no one knows his purpose. I think it's better not to have any contact with him at this juncture. Your Excellency You should immediately write a letter stating the pros and cons of this matter, reject this appointment, and choose another talented person from my Qing Dynasty to take this position."

Hearing this, Liu Dapao frowned even deeper.

This Yao Qisheng is a bit lenient.

Suppressing his unhappiness, Liu Dapao asked with a smile: "Didn't you say you have three important things to report to me? What are the other two things?"

"I found out that during the recent period, Chaozhou Prefecture has been bringing in food from other places, and it is very likely that it has exceeded hundreds of thousands of shi."

Well, this is found on his own head.

"Chenghai County is now breaking ground everywhere. Factories are being built inside the city, and bastions are being built outside the city. Hundreds of thousands of craftsmen have been enlisted. Naturally, it is normal for people to eat food from other places."

"No, there are definitely not so many. I have personally inspected all the granaries in the city. There is very little grain in the city. Most of the grain that has been transported into Chaozhou City has been transported to the sea."

"Potter and the others are stationed in Xiamen, and they can't be self-sufficient in food, so let's take them there."

"That's right, it's Xiamen! The official sent someone to Xiamen to have a look. The Dutch have now hoarded more than 3000 shi of grain on the island, but they say that there are no more than [-] people in Xiamen, so the official thinks In this matter, there must be people familiar with foreign countries who are fighting against the enemy, and the food will definitely be sent to Zheng Ni in the end!"

When Liu Dapao heard the words, he couldn't help but instinctively glanced at the beam of his house. On it, Yuan Chengzhi was smiling wryly with a frustrated expression.

Isn't it an enemy? The food is planned to be gathered enough for him to take away.

Now, Yuan Chengzhi has been specially approved by Liu Dapao, and he has become the only guest elder in the Tiandihui. His status is slightly higher than that of Zhu Xiangzhu, and he is second only to himself and Lei Zhentian.

The direction of Malacca has now started to quarrel according to the script. The Dutch, the Chinese, the Portuguese, and the Dongning people have become a mess. However, since the fight has just started, the food in Zheng Jing’s hands will definitely last for a while. However, although food prices in the entire Luzon region have begun to rise, they are far from rising to the point of food shortage.

So Liu Dapao intends to hold his hand first, and wait for Southeast Asia to fight for a while, and when Chen Jinnan has almost eaten the food in his hands, and the price of food in Luzon has also risen, then let Yuan Chengzhi personally escort the food and grass to send By the way, control Chen Jinnan to give him a yellow robe.

Anyway, the Dutch and Boni Island were all fake fights. A lot of locals in Luzon died, and they fought each other for more than a month with zero casualties.

After all, Yuan Chengzhi didn't shave his head, and Liu Dapao wanted him to dress up as a Taoist priest. He was still not happy, so he had no choice but to continue to be his gentleman on Liang, and was temporarily responsible for personal protection of Liu Dapao's safety.

How the hell did Yao Qisheng find out?He sent someone to Xiamen to check it out, why didn't he know anything about it?

"Zhongtang, food is the foundation of a country. If this trend is not controlled, it will inevitably lead to an increase in the price of local food in Chaozhou. Today's Chaozhou Prefecture, especially your newly built Chenghai New City, has hundreds of thousands of workers, and it is still increasing. The peasants who lost their land from Fujian and Guangdong provinces all came here to seek a way of life. In case of food shortage, this way of life will become a dead end. Therefore, the lower officials thought that this matter must be investigated and ignored. I don’t have enough authority, so I ask Zhongtang to give you an order.”

"Didn't you say three things, and what is the other one? Let's talk about it together."

"There is one more thing, it was reported by the officials, saying that it was Wang Ping, the former Tongzhi of Chaozhou. When he was a Tongzhi, he suspected that he had a lot of sympathy for the chaotic party of the Tiandihui, and he even covered up the chaos of the Tiandihui. The party, and it is even very possible that he himself has joined the Tiandihui, I hope you can see clearly, Mr. Zhongtang."

Liu Dapao just wanted to take a sip of tea to calm his shock, but when he heard Yao Qisheng say this, he couldn't help but spit out the tea in his mouth again: "Who? Wang Ping? My current deputy envoy Wang Ping? He is a rebel from the Tiandihui ?how would I not know!"

"I dare not say that he is a rebellious party of the Tiandihui, but at least it can be said that he sympathizes with the rebellious party of the Tiandihui. Here are the notes I compiled. I would like to ask Mr. Zhongtang to read it. I have long suspected that there are so many people in this Chaozhou city. If we can get the food out again, there must be people with good hands and eyes to help, looking at the whole Chaozhou city, besides you, sir, only he, or Admiral Qiu Hui of the Navy, can have this ability."

"Well...you're right...right."

Liu Dapao took his note with a feeling like a dead dog.

"There are three reasons why the lower official said this, and it is written in detail in the booklet. One is his wife, who was found to be a member of the Lu family involved in the historical case of the Ming Dynasty. She married him after hiding her name; The words of the rebel, the third is that he once arrested a rebel from the Tiandihui, and then deliberately let him go, all three things are well-documented."

"Also... the evidence is solid, why didn't I know it earlier..."

"Adults manage a lot of things every day, and it is inevitable that there will be omissions."

"But I have been here for almost a year anyway, and all these things happened before I came, but you have only been in Chaozhou for a few days, how can you find out what happened so long ago?" Come out? To be honest, where did you get it?"

Yao Qisheng probably didn't intend to hide it, and said directly: "It was Chaozhou Tongju Qianjiang who told me. He always knew these materials. It was just out of the righteousness of his colleagues, so he never reported him."

"This is strange. Previously, Qianjiang and Wang Ping were judged by a fellow judge. At least they had a bit of competition. They still knew the meaning of colleagues. You just came here, and Wang Ping has now transferred to my general manager's office. Whether the two have nothing to do with each other, or my deputy, everyone in Chaozhou knows that he is my confidant, but you rushed to sue him, what do you think?"

"If he only expressed sympathy for the Heaven and Earth Society's chaotic party, the subordinate officials would not come to sue him, but now that more than [-] shi of grain have been shipped to the sea, the subordinate officials are at least [-]% sure that the person behind this must be him. It's a state matter, but I don't care about the righteousness of colleagues."

"Well... okay, I see, you go down first."

"My lord... don't you care?"

"Whether it's my business or not, you go down first."

"Be bold, my lord, please call Wang Ping for questioning immediately, otherwise, I am afraid that he will get the news in advance and run away."

"Don't worry, he won't run away, you go down first."

"If your lord doesn't give the subordinate an answer, the subordinate really dare not step down."

"What do you mean? Forcing the palace? I'll let you go down!"

Seeing this, Yao Qisheng knelt down to him with a thud and said: "Chenghai City now has at least 10,000+ refugees from all over the country. The food problem is related to the life and death of these hundreds of thousands of landless people. The officials dare not get up. Please ask Zhongtang My lord, call Wang Ping here now, and I am willing to confront him face to face."

"Yao Qisheng, are you sick? Are you the manager or am I the manager? Are you challenging my authority?"

"My lord, you dare to kill Hao Zhentai and the Eight Banners soldiers, and you can still hold back after killing them. The lower officials will never dare to disrespect you, but for the sake of the people, even if you kill me, my lord, I will never stand up."

"You're really sick, aren't you!"

Liu Dapao couldn't understand what Yao Qisheng's purpose was at this moment. He, a Chaozhou Tongzhi who had just taken office, dared to open fire at Wang Ping. It's all for the people of Chaozhou Prefecture, it's just a misunderstanding.

It's just that Liu Dapao has been an official for a year anyway, and he knows that these bastards are full of twists and turns in their stomachs. Is it possible that he is testing himself, or is there a way to invite his name directly? It's hard to say that you are always ready to let yourself fall in.

However, I am also the boss of this guy anyway, since this guy is putting on a shameless posture, there is no need to give him face. Immediately, Liu Dapao grabbed Yao Qisheng's back with a blood-coagulating kung fu. The neck, but directly lifted him a second time.

"Let's go."

Just throw it to the little old man on the street.

Having no time to talk to him, Liu Dapao simply tidied up his official robes, and to show his importance, he went to meet the Yunnan merchant caravan in person. After all, Liu Xuanchu was probably among them, and this person would definitely act as a bond between him and Wu Sangui in the future. For the important task of intermediary liaison, Wu Sangui must be given the face that should be given.

When I saw Wu Shuntian, I hugged him first to make sure that this guy was not missing any arms or legs, then looked at the so-called representatives of Yunnan merchants standing beside him, and slightly cupped my hands and said: "Everyone has come from afar and worked hard, and now this Chenghai County A lot of inns have been opened, although the conditions are simple, but they can still accommodate people, master, please arrange, I will prepare drinks to entertain you in person in the evening."

But I saw a person in the crowd suddenly reached out and grabbed Liu Dapao's wrist in a rude manner, saying: "Time is running out, don't wait until night, please let Zhongtang find a place where he can talk, let's talk about it first." .”

Liu Dapao frowned slightly, thinking, could this person be Liu Xuanchu?This is a little too presumptuous.

But Wu Shuntian said in a low voice: "My lord, this is the arrival of Prince Pingxi himself, and he said that he wants to discuss something with you in person."

Liu Dapao was taken aback when he heard the words. He never thought that the ugly old man in front of him was the famous traitor Wu Sangui.

Knowing that this is a serious matter, he immediately said: "Master, please arrange other people, and follow me."
