Crazy at the end of the Ming Dynasty

() After Guo Zengan left the garrison yamen, he repeatedly saluted Deng Qifan who sent him out of the yamen before leaving.When leaving, Guo Zeng'an kept a calm expression on his face, but as soon as he entered the compartment of his carriage, the expression of joy could no longer be restrained.

On the eighth day after arriving in Runing Prefecture, Wu Shigong finally received Guo Zeng'an.But when Guo Zengan told Wu Shigong his intention of coming and all the news he knew, Guo Zengan was surprised to find that Wu Shigong's attitude was a little indifferent.

During the meeting, Wu Shigong kept smiling all the time, only rarely would he open his mouth to ask some questions, this attitude gave people the feeling that he had already made up his mind.

This made Guo Zengan also a little puzzled: Could it be that Wu Shoubei has already learned about this news from other channels, and has already made arrangements for this news, which is why he is so stable now?

However, in Guo Zengan's view, Wu Shigong's reaction just confirmed that Wu Shigong had potential strength, and he could control the salt markets of Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion when Wu Shigong left Henan.

But if it's just like this, it's all right, this at most proves that Guo Zeng'an's judgment is correct.To Guo Zeng'an's surprise, after Guo Zeng'an finished telling the news, Wu Shigong immediately rewarded him for his actions.

Wu Shigong introduced Li Lu, the garrison of Nanyang Mansion, to Guo Zeng'an, and he asked Guo Zeng'an to discuss with Li Lu about selling Guo's salt goods in the two counties where Li Lu was stationed.

Of course, in Li Lu's two counties, there were also other Yangzhou salt merchants who were responsible for providing salt goods.How will Guo Zeng'an use Li Lu's influence in the future to get a share of the salt market in these two counties?How to coordinate the relationship with other Yangzhou salt merchants?How to distribute the benefits of salt goods sales with Li Lu? ... These problems will have to be worked on by Guo Zeng'an in the future.

However, Wu Shigong also made a clear hint to Guo Zeng'an: No matter how big the market Guo Zeng'an will get in the future, the salt goods in those two counties will also follow the rules of the salt trade between Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion, that is, salt per stone The goods were paid to Wu Shigong in the form of one penny.

Guo Zengan was taken aback by Wu Shigong's hint.At first, he still thought that the salt markets in the two counties that Wu Shigong handed over to Li Lu to him were because of the relationship between Li Lu and Wu Shigong.Unexpectedly, after hearing Wu Shigong's tone, it was obvious that Wu Shigong had quietly reached out to those two county towns, which meant that Wu Shigong had completely controlled that area without everyone knowing it.

Guo Zeng'an immediately raised Wu Shigong's status in his heart. A garrison of Runing Mansion can control Runing Mansion and Guide Mansion, plus the two counties of Nanyang Mansion. "These two words.

Moreover, Wu Shigong is so young, and his background is so noble (strangely, Wu Shigong is in the noble circles, the background of that bastard and son-in-law is very despised, but in the eyes of ordinary people, Wu Shigong is no matter what. The son of Lord Hou, he is someone to look up to).

Even if Wu Shigong is really transferred from Henan, with his ability, strength and background, he will definitely make a name for himself in other places.Such a character, how to make friends with each other is not an exaggeration.

What's even more commendable is that Wu Shigong immediately rewarded Guo Zeng'an with an extremely generous reward.It is better to take refuge in such a person than to take refuge in the Lin family, who will be used as a pawn by the Lin family and have a much better future as cannon fodder.

Therefore, at this time, Guo Zeng'an also felt a little elated for his wise move.

Not to mention that Guo Zengan felt his dream come true in the carriage.After sending Guo Zeng'an away, Deng Qifan returned to the back hall of the yamen, and at a glance he saw Wu Shigong limp in his place, his face was ashen.

Wu Shigong felt disheartened in his heart.After hearing the news of Guo Zeng'an just now, if Wu Shigong hadn't made it, he might have been unable to sit still for a long time if he had the ability to restrain his psychological fluctuations and show a calm expression from his previous life.

The foundation that I have worked so hard to build, the elite soldiers that I have worked so hard to train, but with the order of the chief assistant Zhou Yanru to deploy troops, it will disappear in the blink of an eye.

Needless to say disobedience and disrespect, compared to the Ming court represented by the first assistant Zhou Yanru, Wu Shigong knew how much he weighed now, and the result would definitely be an egg hitting a rock, unless he rebelled immediately.But what will be the result of the rebellion?Wu Shigong thought about it in his mind, or... the egg hits the stone.

Then he had to obediently obey orders and go to Liaodong to fight.But what's the point of fighting this battle?Defeated everything Hugh mention of course.But what if we win?Propose yourself an official position, and then let yourself fight in the north and south, and don't exhaust the elite soldiers you have trained, then the court will definitely not give up.

And no matter what, I will definitely not be able to return to Henan. For Chief Assistant Zhou Yanru, would it be difficult to transfer a small guard to a garrison?

Wu Shigong deeply blamed himself.At that time, I made the rules for collecting salt and silver, and I did understand that there was a weakness in mobilizing my station.But I still ignored this point, thinking that within two or three years, no one would dare to touch my position.

But the current situation is that the Yangzhou Salt Transport Envoy and the new Patriarch of the Qi family immediately discovered this weakness. They took advantage of the relationship between the chief assistant Zhou Yanru and immediately greeted their own vital points.

Wu Shigong sighed deeply: "You can't underestimate the ancients and others! Since the Yanyun envoy and the new head of the Qi family can dominate one side, how can their intelligence and ability be smaller than yourself?"

Deng Qifan saw that Wu Shigong's expression was very abnormal. Although he knew the reason, Deng Qifan still couldn't help asking: "My lord, how are you doing?"

Wu Shigong sat blankly for a while before he came back to his senses. He said with some frustration, "I'm thinking about my past." Before he knew it, Wu Shigong no longer referred to himself as "my official" to Deng Qifan. Now, in his current mood, he wanted to find a friend to chat with.

"Oh? Then, did your lord remember what happened to him in the past?" Deng Qifan also sat down on the chair next to him.He basically understood Wu Shigong's current mood, so he followed Wu Shigong's words, thinking of finding an opportunity to resolve Wu Shigong's troubles.
