Chongwenmenwai Street, inside the unique small courtyard of Sanjin Guild Hall.
It¡¯s March in spring, and the courtyard is full of flowers. Magnolias and begonias are attracting bees and butterflies, and lilac roses are competing for beauty. Their subtle fragrance is intoxicating.
In a season like this, Yang Bo, Wang Guoguang, Wang Jiaping, Yang Si and a few old ladies would naturally not sit in a room with poor lighting and eat noodles. Wouldn't that be a waste of this wonderful spring time?
So they ate noodles in the yard instead.
There are still more than a dozen kinds of noodles on the round table, including knife-cut noodles, hand-rolled noodles, ramen noodles, fried noodles Aged vinegar, rice vinegar, Laba vinegar, balsamic vinegar, white vinegar a dozen bottles of vinegar, and a bunch of garlic.
Yang Bo threw the peeled garlic into the bowl, then poured half a bottle of mature vinegar, and started to slurp with pleasure.
Wang Guoguang and the three of them were also engrossed in eating noodles, sweating profusely while eating, and no one made a sound.
People in Shanxi eat noodles without talking, firstly out of love for food, and secondly out of fear of choking the noodles into their nostrils.
After a while, a large bowl of soup and noodles was finished, and Yang Bo picked up the handkerchief on the table to wipe his sweat. "Ironing"
"Uncle, what Brother Botong means is to ask Mr. Shu'an to send a message to Mr. Zhang" Yang Sihe also finished eating the noodles and could finally continue talking. "So that Mr. Zhang can make up his mind."
"Yeah." Yang Bo nodded, looked at Wang Guangguang and said, "Don't go directly, it's too fake. It's better to go in a circle."
"Yeah." Wang Guoguang nodded, chewing garlic and said, "Let's talk to Li Yihe."
Botong is the name of Han Ji, a native of Puzhou, Shanxi, a fellow villager of Yang Bo, Zhang Siwei, and Wang Chonggu, a die-hard Shanxi gang, and the former resident noodle-eating party of the Sanjin Guild Hall. Although he is no longer recovering from his high arch, his heart still belongs to the old jealousy.
"Shu'an" is the nickname of Wang Guoguang. In the second year of Longqing's reign, he became the minister of the Governor Cangchang. After going round and round, he is still the official today. Because he was a student of Mr. Xu Ge, he had impeached Gao Gong during the cabinet wave. Gao Huzi looks like a rough man, but in fact he holds grudges, although because of his status as a member of the gang, he does not specifically retaliate. But it is still inevitable for him to stay put.
¡° Moreover, Wang Guoguang and Zhang Juzheng have been friends for many years and have been actively moving closer to him over the years. Although Zhang Juzheng did not establish a sect, he already regarded him as one of his own.
?? Lao Xier doesn¡¯t talk about right and wrong when doing things, he only looks at the pros and cons. For Shanxi businessmen with a big family and business, only by betting on both sides can they hedge their risks well, so as not to be completely defeated if they get on the wrong boat.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????mbOUT Outlet In this way, no matter who wins, there will always be Lao Xi'er on the side of the winner.
In that game, Gao Gong lost first and then won. Wang Guoguang sat on the bench for more than two years. Yang Bo backhandedly voted him for Zhang Juzheng, which became a bet on Zhang Dang. No matter who wins, Lao Xier is the winner.
What is a win-win situation? It¡¯s the people from Shanxi who won twice!
Of course, in addition to hedging his bets, Lao Xier also has core demands. After monopolizing the trade with the Mongols, they set their sights on the sea. Seeing that Jiangnan Group has opened up all the links in sea trade, they also want to get a share of the sea trade.
Who would have thought that Zhao Hao wouldn't even give Gao Ge Lao face? This matter dragged on for more than two years, making a bunch of old Westerners so anxious that they had acid reflux in their intestines. It took me several heads of garlic to suppress it.
But they will not do this easily, because Zhao Hao does not dare to provoke Gao Gong, but it means that he does not dare to deal with the Shanxi Gang. The Jiangnan Group, which gathered Hui merchants and Dongting merchant gangs, had a hundred ways to attack Shanxi merchants' business. For example, Jiangnan Bank has pinched the lifeblood of Xinlong Bank Oh, yes, the Xinlong account of the old bankers seems to be renamed Shanxi Bank. But no matter what they call it, as long as Jiangnan Bank is ruthless, they will be in pain.
So this time the Shanxi Gang has been hiding behind, leaving Han Ji and others to continue to instigate Gao Gong to build up the Maritime Yamen.
The biggest problem of Gao Gong is that he has no one, and all his disciples are too junior, so he has to rely on Shanxi to help him manage the shipping yamen.
Therefore, this wave of Gao Gong always staring at Zhao Hao is definitely related to Han Ji and others fanning the flames.
This time Han Ji followed Yang Bo's order to incite Gao Gong to kill Zhang Juzheng. They also saw that once Zhang Juzheng steps down and the Jiangnan Group loses its protective umbrella, the affairs of the Shipping Yamen will be like digging into the bag.

While eating noodles at the Sanjin Guild Hall over there, Mr. Zhang also went back to Dashamao Hutong to have dinner with his son-in-law.
"This is Li Yihe, a fellow from the same hometown as my father. Please call me Uncle Shi." Zhang Juzheng also showed a smile and introduced Zhao Hao.
"My nephew pays homage to Uncle Shi." Zhao Hao hurriedly saluted respectfully.
"Hahaha, I don't dare to be the uncle. Mr. Zhao, just call me Li Sanhu." Li Youzi said with a smile, with the unique affinity of a fat man: "You haven't heard of my nickname, have you?"
"I've heard of it before," Zhao Hao asked curiously, "I wonder which three pots they are?"
"This guy is an alcoholic and can't live without wine. Once, his wife complained to me that my husband had to drink every day. When he heard that, he immediately turned down and farted! I drink even when I don't eat! "Zhang Juzheng couldn't help laughing and said: "So he can't live without the wine bottle."
"But drinking will mess things up. After drinking, he has to drink strong tea to relieve his hangover, so he can't do without the teapot." Zhang Juzheng couldn't help laughing and said: "This is a combination of wine and tea. Of course, he cannot do without the urinals when he fills his stomach. Wherever he goes, these three urinals are always with him, hence why he got such a nickname!"
