Zhao Hao took the tea offered by Jin Xuezeng, took a sip and asked, "What's the news about Chongming's withdrawal from the county?"
"There is no new news." Jin Xuezeng replied hurriedly: "I heard that the prefect suddenly changed his attitude and firmly opposed the withdrawal of the county."
"Hahaha." Zhao Hao couldn't help laughing and said: "Our Lord, the master, is very vindictive."
In the previous episode, a servant of the Xu family was disrespectful to Magistrate Cai, so Cai Guoxi beat him up and drove him out of the house, causing the Xu family to lose face.
Although the Xu family did not retaliate immediately, they always held a grudge.
As a result, last month, Magistrate Cai went to Songjiang to meet with the Deputy Salt Transport Envoy. When he returned, his servants manned more than a dozen large boats and surrounded his boat. They shouted insults and provoked Cai Guoxi in a dilemma. Bereft.
In the end, Songjiang Magistrate Zhong Zhenji arrived, relieved him of the siege, and escorted him out of the prefecture. Magistrate Cai then fled back to Suzhou in despair.
Although Xu Fan sent someone to apologize, Magistrate Cai determined that he was the one who instigated people to retaliate against him. So they launched a counter-retaliation and took a clear-cut stand against the Xu family's operation of "removing the county from Chongming".
??~~
When the two disciples learned that Magistrate Cai and Liang Zi of the Xu family were the result of Zhao Hao's cunning plan to rebel against Liu Zhengqi.
I couldn¡¯t help but admire Wan Cang and paid him the highest respect:
¡°Master is really far-sighted and able to move a thousand pounds.¡±
"This little trick not only destroyed the relationship between the prefect and the Xu family, but also added resistance to the Xu family's plans."
"The main reason is that they are taking too big a step, and they will inevitably get injured." Zhao Hao chuckled and said:
"Chongming is the gateway to the Yangtze River. How can the court give up so easily? When Mr. Xu Ge was in office, it was easy to say that he exaggerated the situation in Chongming and it was done. But who asked Mr. Xu Ge to step down too suddenly? Doing it halfway, neither getting better nor worse, makes people unhappy?"
"Hahaha." The two disciples quickly flattered him again: "Isn't it because of the great power of the master and the master that Mr. Xu Ge was allowed to retire early?"
"This is what I said, as if I was specifically targeting Mr. Xu Ge." Mr. Zhao was a little embarrassed by the praise and said, "I was all passive"
After saying that, he asked again: "What's the attitude of the Shachuan Gang?"
"Not optimistic." Jin Xuezeng sighed: "Although they have lived in Chongming for generations, they must be unable to leave their hometown, but the sandbank collapse has become more and more severe in recent years. Yao Liusha and Dongsha no longer exist, and Chongming's population is less than half. ."
"The remaining people are naturally worried. What if the three sands collapse too?" Yu Shensi also said with a bitter face: "In addition, the Xu family is fanning the flames from the side, and the noise of moving away is still very loud."
"What's the attitude of Gang Leader Guo?" Zhao Hao asked again.
"Guo Donglin has not expressed his position directly, but his younger brother Guo Qilin has been making alarmist remarks all day long, saying that Sansha has sunk ten feet today and eight feet tomorrow. It will sink soon, and then the entire Shachuan Gang will have no chance of survival. Jin Xuezeng snorted and said:
"I think he is Guo Donglin's mouthpiece. Otherwise, how could he allow his younger brother to spread rumors and cause trouble all day long?"
When Zhao Hao just looked through the ¡®Dianjianglu¡¯, he discovered that after Guo Donglin became the deputy gang leader, he brought all his brothers and relatives to the island and placed them in the Shachuan Gang.
After he became the leader of the gang, he directly promoted his brothers to be his right-hand men, blatantly nepotism.
"How do you know these things?" Zhao Hao was impressed by his disciples' ability to collect information, which saved him a lot of trouble.
"Hey, Master, we have nothing to do all day long on the island, and we can't just eat idle food." Jin Xuezeng couldn't help but said proudly: "We will remember Master's teachings, 'come from the common people, go to the common people', and bend down If you listen to the voices of the people, there will be no news that cannot be heard."
"Uh, I don't think that's what I meant" Mr. Zhao twitched the corners of his mouth twice and took the mass line like this. This young couple is really talented.
Then he asked again: "Then what does Mrs. Shen think?"
"She is very measured and never interferes in the affairs of the gang, nor has she expressed her position on it." Yu Shensi pondered:
"But it is said that Shen Shuo was a staunch Liudao fan when he was there. He also let go of the harsh words of 'The island is here to help, and the island is trapped to help disperse'. All the many Liudao people are fighting for her, hoping that she can speak out for them. "
"I think, let's help them and let them leave early." Jin Xuezeng suggested with a smile: "When the time comes, we will move to Sansha and build the county seat. Wouldn't it be nice?"
"Short-sighted!" Zhao Hao spat at the seven disciples and said, "Put you out!"If you sell it, it won¡¯t be as valuable as the Shachuan Gang, you know? "
"Oh." The two disciples suddenly said: "It turns out that Master has taken a fancy to their boat."
"The five hundred sand ships are still behind, and the three thousand sailors are at the gate!" Mr. Zhao drooled, and he spread his hands and said, "I want them all!"
In the Age of Discovery, how valuable were skilled sailors?
Those are three thousand sailors who have been sailing for half their lives!
For Mr. Zhao, who is poor and has only money left, is there any more suitable team to start his career?
This is simply a super gift package that God has given him to move towards the ocean!
¡°As the saying goes, ¡®If you don¡¯t have diamonds, don¡¯t do porcelain work.¡¯ If he doesn¡¯t take these people for his own use, how dare he plan to transport grain by sea next year?
Be sure not to leave any one behind, eat them all.
The two disciples completely understood that the master wanted to conquer the Shachuan Gang.
"Master is master. We are still on the first floor, but you are already on the fifth floor." Jin Xuezeng hurriedly flattered his senior brother.
"Wouldn't the dilemma be solved by turning the Shachuan Gang into one of our own?" Yu Shensi also said with admiration: "Master is master, the mountains are high and the depth is unfathomable."
Although this flattery was not as honest and honest as Wu Yang's, it was still shameless and made Mr. Zhao feel a sense of relief that he had not seen for a long time.
He stretched out his finger, gently tickled Lieyang and Dayang's noses and said, "I just know."
"Then Master, what should we do?" Eryang looked at Zhao Hao.
"We have enough cards, but to win the beauty, we need patience and skill." The young master stood up and walked towards the entrance of the palace with his hands behind his back. "I have a hunch that the button is on Mrs. Shen's body."
¡°I¡¯ll just wander around for the next two days. When Dr. Li comes, I¡¯ll get in touch with Mrs. Shen and see if I can use her.¡±
"Yes, Master." Jin Xuezeng and the others quickly stood up and followed.
I saw Mr. Zhao looking deeply at the sunset outside the palace, and couldn't help but sigh:
"I'm going, it's getting dark."
"Ah, Master, let's continue having dinner." Jin Xuezeng suggested.
"Good idea." Zhao Hao nodded, then kicked him in the butt.
"What a fart, are you going to die as a teacher?!"
