Chapter 2066: Prince Appears
Speaking of the greed of Cao's House, everyone nodded, and they all agreed with this matter. Cao's House wanted to get involved in any industry, and wanted to get involved in everything. In the past, They are all governors and governors, and they don't even think about what will happen to a commercial company. Even those relatively powerful large-scale commercial organizations in the imperial capital, what's wrong with being rich? Can it still stand up to the rights in our hands? No matter how rich those people are, they are useless. When we come to this place, we will make all the rules. If you want to do things from here, you can only be honest and obedient.
They have always been like this, no matter what your background is, each of us as the governor must account for 5% of your shares, no matter whether your business is large or small, I will account for this proportion, we I won’t sell the shares among you, we just take the bonus. Of course, if you make false accounts, we have a way to deal with you. Naturally, the governor will be second-class, that is, 100% Three, as for other officials, as long as you are filial to those who are related to you, they will not make other demands. Of course, other officials can’t just ask you directly like the governor. Those who want shares, if this is the case, the governor will not be happy, how can this be done? If this is the case, the boss himself will have no shares in the end. Why do people want to do business, so in order to make money in the future, they can count it as a protection fee. Many people hated this at the beginning, but later I don't think so, with this money, at least I have a relationship with the governor, right? It's time to run away from the relationship.
But this model will be completely the same when Cao's House is about to come in. Don't say that you want to take other people's shares directly. They will directly infringe on your core interests. If you are not willing, we will give you It's a bit powerful, let you know that our Cao's House is different from people in other places, just like the governor of a coastal province, he even asked his own supervising battalion to find a few gangsters to make trouble . Just smashed a grain store in Cao's Commercial Bank, who knows that the people in Cao's Commercial Bank are not in the way, you can do whatever you want, if you don't like it, it's okay to find a guy for you. Yes, as long as you are happy, it makes all those bastards dumbfounded.
The governor who was in charge of this matter was also puzzled, how could such a thing happen. Didn't it mean that the people of Cao's House can't suffer losses in whatever they do? Today, it seems that this matter is not what they said. These people also know that they don't have that much ability, and each of them seems to be easy to talk to, but when he goes to take a nap with doubts and wakes up, it's completely different, the boss of his supervisory battalion I came to report that the warships of Cao's House had already arrived outside the city, and they fired guns outside. Hundreds of people died outside. They said that they were the robbers that their people encountered in our place, and they were beating the robbers. This city is within the attack range of the naval guns. If we try our best, the whole city will probably be reduced to nothing. The governor is angry at first, and then he is afraid. As mentioned above, Cao Cao must be contained in the near future. home business. But you must not conflict with them. If someone from Cao's House finds an excuse to start a war, you can solve this matter with your own head.
Immediately, the governor asked his masters to go to the people of Cao's firm to negotiate.
The people in charge of the establishment of the Cao's Commercial Bank pushed back and forth one by one, saying that this matter is not in their own hands, mainly because the listing of one of their stores has already been reported. He said that the law and order in this area is not very good, and some guards are going to be sent here. Who knew that the East Emperor Army would not let their guards go ashore. Wouldn't this cause a conflict? That guy said He also murmured, "What a big deal, isn't it just three thousand guards, how many people can there be if you come. You are really too." This guy is embarrassed to say, damn, the whole city is only more than 10,000 Three thousand of you suddenly came here, and you are still armed with that new type of weapon. According to the estimates of the Ministry of the East Emperor, the fighting power of a soldier in Cao's Commercial Bank is more than fifteen of them. This is still a conservative estimate. If there is a real fight, it is estimated that there will be no problem with 20, and 3,000 is equivalent to 60,000 people. If this is the territory of Cao's House of Commerce after they come up, do we want to have the final say? It's better to stop cooking, that is absolutely impossible.
In order not to let the troops of Cao's House of Commerce come in, the governor could only play back and forth with each other, making a smile on his face. He found a manager of Cao's House of Commerce, and the manager promised to help clear it up, but they also said, The dignified Cao's House is not an ordinary place, is it? Although it is a commercial firm, our firm is different from other firms after all. Our firm is powerful. Just look at our warships at sea. These warships were not here before, but now they are here. Come on, the military expenditure alone is not a small amount, so good, we will not go ashore, but set aside an area for us by the sea, that is where we station our troops, and we usually don’t We came out, but we came out when our industry was threatened. Didn’t you promise that such a situation will not happen in the future? , As for the number of people, it must not be too many, that is, a few thousand people. Of course, the military expenses will naturally have to be borne by you. Each of our shells costs 100,000 silver. Thousands and thousands are enough, and not too many, we will be friends in the future.
The governor immediately became depressed when he heard about this matter. What kind of joke is this? You can bring up such a matter. Even if you smashed one of your grain stores, it doesn’t need tens of millions of silver, right? By the way, your warships were not invited by us. How could we ask us to pay the money? When the governor was about to refuse, the second round of shelling started again. The timing was really just right, just when they were about to refuse When the artillery comes, do you want to refuse? Check out our cannons promise? Money and so on are trivial matters. The governor will have a showdown, and the 10 million taels of silver will pass, but he really dare not agree to such a thing as the garrison. It will take a year to report to the court. . If I don't agree, I will eat people from the looks of them. In the end, I have no choice but to agree to station 2,000 people.
Since then, the governors around here have not dared to tell their subordinates to mess around after knowing this matter. If it causes trouble to the upper body, it will not be easy to put out the fire. These guys are all very powerful. A little bit of humanity None, of course. There is no so-called human relationship between them, only some unreliable relationships. But since then, apart from knowing that Cao's House is not easy to mess with, everyone can also feel that Cao's House is greedy. They have opened up the inland market for them to come in and do business, and they will immediately think of coming. The army has been garrisoned. If the garrison is opened to them, they will probably have other ideas. It is absolutely impossible for these people to be satisfied. It will be them who will suffer one by one.
But the governor at the time had no other choice. If you don't agree to this, you will fire again, and the loss will be even greater at that time. Hundreds of people will be killed in two rounds of shelling. It is said that two of the 10 warships outside fired. If you fire a cannon, your side will absolutely be unstoppable, so it's better not to do it.
"Sir. In fact, we all know that the people in Cao's House are very greedy, but what should we do? The imperial court has already told us to contain him, but it has given too many restrictions. If we annoy them But even if the war starts, that is definitely not what we want. It is not what the court wants. If there is a war at that time, it will not be bad luck for us. Each of our provinces has hundreds of thousands of troops. , It’s not enough to pull it out. His Royal Highness King Ning’s army is the most elite army I have ever seen. To be honest, His Majesty’s Wu Wei Army can’t keep up with His Highness King Ning’s army. They couldn't walk through the army of Cao's House for an hour, so what else can our troops do without shame?" Another governor present said that he was from the army before, so for these things is very understanding.
"Yeah, why don't we know that they are greedy, but what can we do? What the man said just now is what we want to say. Now those people from Cao's Commercial Bank come to us to negotiate terms with money in one hand. With a bow and arrow in one hand, if we agree, the silver will be ours, if we don’t agree, there will be a war over there, and the speed of changing faces is really too fast.” Another governor seemed to be eating too much Because of their loss, that's why they talked like this. Everyone looked at this Jananbo, and they all said that this guy was King Ning's think tank in the past. Maybe this guy will have a way. Maybe it depends on this guy's strategy, but this may be the biggest gain today.
"Hehe, I know all of your difficulties. Wouldn't this be the solution for you? If there is no Cao's firm, it would be very difficult for us to sit down and have a good talk at ordinary times. Now all kinds of The contradictions have been exposed, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for us. Now you have all seen the disadvantages of other Russian beauties, so now we have to adapt the current situation. If we continue to If we go on like this, it won’t be long before the people from Cao’s House can kill us all. This is definitely not what we want now, even the imperial court doesn’t want to see this. They don’t like us very much, but now that the enemy is facing them, they all want to use us, so we have to form an alliance. This alliance can only be private. If you want to trouble us, we can advance and retreat together. I think we are protecting the interests of the empire. At that time, the imperial court will support us secretly. A governor is not their opponent, but there are so many of us. Is there a problem?" Jia Nanbo's ability to deceive people is still very good. At the beginning, he told them that he could not do it, but now he tells them to unite, and tells them not to misunderstand the court. Not the time for massive conflict.
"Sir, of course we agree with this statement. There is no problem with this alliance. It's just that this private alliance must have a leader. We are basically on the same level. To be honest, we got mixed up. Our current position is not easy for us. In the past, we all followed King Ning, and King Ning did have the ability to lead us, but now it is different. Although King Ning is back, I If you don't talk about the latter, everyone will understand, if you want everyone to be a rope, if the leader is not sure, I think it will be very difficult." A guy sitting at the bottom said. This guy doesn't usually talk much, although what he said is that King Ning is useless. But what he said had another meaning. Many people here didn't mention King Ning, as if they were just air, that is, the guy in front of him thought so much, and said repeatedly about King Ning, that is, I want them to hang out with King Ning again. Ten thousand years ago, King Ning was the same as now. As long as they follow King Ning well now, the old days will come out. It's just that other people besides him can understand from the look in his eyes that these people don't want to hang out with King Ning.
"Hehe, what this old man said is really on point. We won't talk about the matter of King Ning. It's all happened in the past, and everyone understands it now." Jananbo said with a smile, King Ning is already no more. One sentence made many old subordinates of King Ning here understand that if you still want to show that you are the direct line of King Ning, you can only humiliate yourself in the future. If you want to live a good life, just You have to listen to us. Sure enough, many people's faces changed after he said that. They didn't expect this guy to speak so directly. Why is Ning Wang dying? Ning Wang is also very good.
"Now we do need a leader, but we are all at the same level. Naturally, we cannot lead others. Now that the meeting is here, I think it is necessary for me to introduce a person to everyone. I saw it when I entered the capital. I believe that everyone will know how to go after him after he files." After finishing speaking, Jia Nanbo left his seat and went to the back to invite someone to come. That person looks like a young man, but the lifespan of senior fighters can't be seen now. They may be hundreds of years old, but their faces are still very young.
"Too...too...His Royal Highness..." Although the people behind were also looking at who it was, but when the guy in front said it, the others were still dumbfounded, my God, the prince Why is Your Highness here? What's going on here, is he the one who succeeded Ning Wang? If this is the case, they have really found a good master. Although the crown prince is not as powerful as King Ning in the past, but speaking of the crown prince occupying the position of the crown prince, he is much more formal than King Ning. Moreover, they have been the prince for nearly 200 years, and they are all aware of the abilities of the prince. Every day in the past 200 years has not been so easy. He can still make himself stable under the attacks of so many princes. Sitting on the Diaoyutai is not easy.
"See His Highness the Crown Prince..." The group of people in the room hurriedly stood up and greeted the Crown Prince. At this moment, they finally understood what was going on. It turned out that everything was well arranged. From the beginning to the present, everyone It's all arranged. The imperial court wants to subdue them. Although the imperial court also wants to make a big change, but in that case, this area may become the Cao's firm. It's better to use this method. You continue live your life, we will not do anything to you.
"Hehe, everyone, get up. Speaking of which, we are all acquaintances. You don't need to be so cautious. We have met each other before. Now you don't need to be like this. We were not so cautious before. I have spoken at a close distance, and today I have such an opportunity. I am here mainly to express condolences to everyone on behalf of my father and the old man. Mr. Jia made such a game and asked everyone to come, so that it is more convenient for us to talk. You don’t have to look at me like this. In fact, I am just an ordinary person. You can say what you want. , I have always been in the capital, and I don’t know much about these local things.” His Royal Highness said very close to the people, and what he said was the truth, although these people here have met before. His Royal Highness, but each of them can be seen from a distance. There is no extra communication at all. There is only one His Royal Highness in the world. On the contrary, there are about 3,000 governors in the world. Well, princes can live for hundreds of years, and some of these governors have been in office for decades. It's really impossible to talk face-to-face with the prince directly.
It seems that this time it is a roundabout strategy adopted by the imperial court of the Eastern Empire. They want to take back this area, but they can't do it blatantly, because they have an agreement with the Paojia firm. During the development period of Cao's Commercial Bank, if they were so blatant, it would be a violation of their Cao's Commercial Bank's signing of this agreement. This is definitely going to be a big fight for both sides, and now is the period when the military strength of Cao's firm is rising. If there is such a war, I think Li Cong will be very happy, but for the Eastern Empire, the entire empire is now resting and recuperating. It is inconvenient for the entire empire to start a war at this time. If it can't be supported, the Eastern Empire can adopt this kind of relatively unsightly method, just drop these people from the bottom and start messing things up.
In the past, the court of the Dudong Empire believed that such a state of this place was very detrimental to the rule of the entire empire, but now they are all looking away, if it was the same as other places in the past. Directly under the jurisdiction of the capital government, isn't it difficult to handle this matter now? It's easy to handle now. They used to follow Ning Wanghui's people, and the connection with the central government was not so close. In the eyes of everyone, blood is something that can be brought out. It can be said to be a fact. In the future, it doesn't matter how their Cao's firm fights. It can be said that if the confrontation with Cao's House is not too fierce, they will stay behind you and say that they support you and support you. If you accidentally start a war with Cao's House, don't blame the court It doesn't matter if you handle these things yourself or not, even if you are all dead, the Eastern Empire government won't have a war.
It can be said that this is a strategy that kills two birds with one stone. Pushing these guys into the fire pit can also hinder the development of Cao's house. The necessary development time for the court of the Eastern Empire is that the court of the Eastern Empire will start to develop itself within ten years. If its own strength rises at that time, it will definitely make Cao's firm look good. How can I say it is also an empire, Cao Cao No matter how you put it, a commercial firm is just a commercial organization, and even a chamber of commerce would bow down to you if an imposing empire. This is impossible in anyone's eyes, not to mention that His Majesty the Emperor of the Eastern Empire has never bowed his head to anyone in his life. Recently, because of the needs of the entire empire, he has already bowed to Li Cong's hurtful people. I know how many times it has happened, so he must find this enemy. During this period, the strength of the Cao's firm will not develop much. It is also possible to keep him as it is. I really need time to develop on my side. of.
This kind of thing is not a big deal, the emperor of the Eastern Empire just sent one of his confidantes to do it, but someone told him later that these headquarters and governors have been with King Ning for so long, and want to It is not so easy for them to glue together directly. Their vision is very high. It is necessary to find someone who is more able to control the table than King Ning. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor thought of His Royal Highness, the Prince His Highness has been in this position for two hundred years, and it can be said that he has made contributions to the empire, but his contribution is not enough to allow him to ascend the throne of the emperor, so His Majesty the Emperor entrusted her with this task and let her handle it If he can handle things here well, it means that he has taken this position for more than two hundred years for granted. If he can't handle things well, he can also take a good look at which of his sons has this ability. up?
His Royal Highness is also very clear about the reason why he came here this time. The third prince must have done a good job last time. The third guy has always done things with a high profile. He helped her overcome many things on the front line. Didn't he say it himself? It is very clear that now everyone in the capital has said that without the mediation of His Royal Highness the Third Prince, the war between the Cao Family Firm and the Eastern Empire would have continued, and in the end both parties would suffer. The Third Prince gave peace to Brought it back, which is a great credit to the people of the entire empire, His Royal Highness almost lost his breath after hearing this, he is still alive, people outside treat him like this Third son, what does this mean? Are you clearly saying that your brand is not as easy to use as his third prince? It is obvious that he is being favored by the emperor's younger brother? How is this possible?
It was for this reason that this guy had to come, and he was very happy when he lied about this mission. Others thought it was a difficult job, because these people's brains were very shrewd. Back then, I fought against the imperial court together with King Ning, and now it is not that simple for the imperial court to take them back. I have to explain the form. If you want to expand your power, you can’t get it elsewhere. Why bother to get the money? If the medicine can't be cured, you will lose your own reputation. Even if the road is good, there is Cao's house in front and there are gold coins in the back. Those subordinates are not obedient, how much can they get? In the eyes of other senior officials and ministers, it is best not to talk back, but for His Highness the Crown Prince, this is a challenge for him. If he does well, he will at least give His Highness the Third Prince an equal seat. If we play here, of course we are going to rush, we don't know that you will appear here today, if we knew, we would not be so hasty when we prepared. Now it seems that it makes you laugh a little bit. We all have to gather together. It is definitely not disrespectful to the empire. In the past, there were some misunderstandings among the governments of our country. We also want to clear up the misunderstanding this time. In the past, it was not that we didn’t want to disturb the order of the government. Your Highness, you should also understand us. We became officials. This title was given to me by the imperial court, not the product that was given to us in the end. It’s always a bit difficult not to do things below. It’s a headache. We should also understand that our queen is a great talent. She doesn’t give us a chance to explain things. If we don’t do what he says, we will be unlucky sooner or later. of.
Including, we all thought that we could get caught up with you. We are all officials of the imperial court. Why should we listen to him? I have heard this sentence in my mind and we know it. The current real-time Years of hard study in the cold window and there is not much left for her. The old man thinks that I can make us achieve this position. I think I have served the country if I didn’t receive it, but the actual situation is always different from our ideals. After we got to this place, they gave me nothing but made things difficult for me. If I and I don’t do what he says, if we don’t do what he said, don’t talk about our official positions. Even my head can’t keep one of them. Dacheng hurriedly stood up and said that this is also a whitewashing of himself, whether His Royal Highness believes it or not, anyway, I have already said that.
Those people quickly stood up and said the same thing as His Royal Highness, they don't care what to do in the future, anyway, the court has already set their sights here, and they are all wives. The court of the Eastern Empire is still a colossus and cannot be betrayed. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Eastern Empire has already arrived at this place, which shows that this area is very important. If you don't express your loyalty quickly, do you really want to pull your own team to rebel? That is absolutely impossible. Just look at how much money they can control, how many people they can control and how many troops they can control, and you will know that no matter how many people can unite. Those who have no ability to resist, and escaped with a lot of money, but they can't be afraid! If you have to calculate the target, you can give them to them. Now they know that the biggest master over their heads is the Eastern Empire court.
His Royal Highness was really disgusted by the words they said out of their mouths, and it could be seen from his face that this was not the answer she wanted. The answer she wanted was an affirmative answer, and these people did not dare to give His Royal Highness an affirmative answer. She had to get the assurance from His Royal Highness that in the future, it would not be those nonsense words, but that the court had just come down. The imperial decree must contain words to bless their family and children, so that they can hand over their entire wealth to the court. The Eastern Empire's current attitude towards Cao's firm is that it does not want such a handle to fall. If you do it, what do you have to do yourself? His appearance here represents the court of the Eastern Empire, but now they don't believe in the authority of their prince. I think I don't have this ability, the prince is the prince, the emperor is the king, and now there is only one word missing, but is it different when you say it?
Yes, be quiet for a while, His Royal Highness traveled a long distance, we shouldn't have these cumbersome things to make His Royal Highness hurt again, now we all hold up our own wine glasses, this gathering has now become an official one We have a party. His Highness the Crown Prince will be with us all the time in the past few days. His Highness the Crown Prince will help us solve the recent incidents, including the questions you raised. Don’t worry, everyone. Now, let’s hold a joint meeting I wish His Majesty the Emperor and her elderly good health with the cup, and I wish His Royal Highness the Prince Longma the spirit. Jian Nanbo is also a person who knows how to do things. It seems that he will be stiff if he continues here, and he speaks immediately. He doesn't know how to answer the words of these officials in the frontier. It would be a waste of time for the governors to continue talking. It's all nonsense. If His Royal Highness comes out to answer this, it will be a difficult thing for His Royal Highness! The way he stood up and played a smooth game was tantamount to giving both sides a step down. What he did was very right, and His Royal Highness also gave him a good look.
His Royal Highness is right, we have brought our way of doing things here one by one, His Royal Highness has his own way of doing things, we should raise the wine glass and wish His Majesty the Emperor good health and the spirit of His Royal Highness , This is what we courtiers should do. His Royal Highness came to this meeting with his own intentions, so let's not think too much about it. Let's follow His Royal Highness's schedule! The fat man who started talking first also stood up and said, he knew that the atmosphere should not be too stiff at this time! If these people were really driven into a hurry, they might run to Cao's House now. That was the last thing the Eastern Empire court wanted to see. The Eastern Empire court could see clearly now that there were many enemies , but the only one that can really fight against them is Cao's House. As long as their other enemies are willing to spend a certain amount of time, they can all be dealt with, but the enemy of Cao's Commercial Bank is not so easy to be dealt with.
Both parties were not very satisfied with this ton of food, and His Royal Highness was not very satisfied. He thought that he would show up here to meet these bumpkins, and he had traveled such a long distance. He also hired a magician to bring his own magic beast to deliver him. This is a high cost, and the court won't reimburse him? All of this needs to be spent by oneself. These people think that they have never seen the world, who knows that they are all very cunning, and the brand of their own prince may not be very useful. In their eyes, it is so practical. Things are the most useful. His Royal Highness is having a headache, if something like the promised edict, why do you have to come here by yourself? If you want to say that you are the emperor, you have to think about it, not to mention that you are a prince now, if you send out the imperial edict casually, then you will be the biggest threat to her father, don't talk about yours then The thing is, it is very difficult to guarantee the life and death of Lao Tzu, let alone you.
Compared with those governors, they also have their own considerations. If only because His Royal Highness appeared on his side, they would run over and surrender, saying that they were not good in the past, and they were all rejected before. King Ning was blinded. Now if he wants to return to the Qing Dynasty under the imperial court and work for the imperial court, this is simply a child's play. They all understand what the imperial court does. Start taking your knife! This is not a secret to the entire relationship between the ministers. They must ask for this imperial decree for their own good life in the future. If there is no such restriction, they would rather hang around with the Cao Family Firm for a long time. Although the Cao Family Firm cannot Guarantee that they have their current seats, but they can guarantee their prosperity and wealth for the rest of their lives. The most important thing is that their relationship with Cao's House of Commerce has not had any problems. He has a great past with the imperial court. They settled accounts, but it was difficult for the court to say.
Besides, let’s talk about Lan Bo! Tonight, I understood what kind of character she is. In fact, I knew from the beginning in the capital that he was His Majesty's man from the beginning, and he didn't have what His Majesty the King of Benin did. The so-called talent and convincing is impossible. The reason why this guy followed King Ning back to his fief is probably because the court started investigating King Ning at that time, and poor King Ning foolishly regarded him as his staff? In fact, what he didn't know was that this guy was the biggest chess piece he bought around him, and the court dealt with his own chess pieces. This guy probably sent back some of the confidential information he knew to the court. Now that King Ning has fallen, it His role has also come to an end, and no one cares about it. Who knew that the imperial court would take over this area, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince remembered this person again? It can be regarded as a talented person, why not use it, it is impossible to let it live in the capital for the elderly! Come here to play off the heat.
Jia Nanbo also felt uncomfortable. He originally thought that these people were easy to fool. They listened to what he said in the past, so he should have some face in front of him! These people should also listen to their own words, who knows that they are different from this time, he also wants to understand what's going on now, when he was messing around with King Ning, of course there were these things! Now that King Ning has fallen, he is a Juren after all, without any skills, how could they think highly of you? After trying to understand these things, Jia Nanbo made a lot of adaptations. Originally, he acted according to his own face. Now that he has no face, he just acts according to the method of losing face. It’s okay to bow his head when necessary, or let the court be tougher. Otherwise, these people think that the court of the Eastern Empire treats them softly, which will be more troublesome, and His Royal Highness will get twice the result with half the effort.
The court wants to use its own tough methods to deal with its own difficulties. First of all, none of these people will be soft, but what if they come hard? They don't have extra troops, mainly because the imperial court of the Eastern Empire is now so weak that it is very difficult to send out an army of 300,000. In fact, the 300,000 troops can come. But this army is not the most elite army, what can they do when they come? What can be solved? Can these bastards be made obedient? It seemed impossible, but each of these veterans was very shrewd.
