Chapter 496 Ready, just waiting for us to play the big drums!
"This is made by Mr. Zhensu in the Yuan Dynasty. Mr. Zhensu is good at mountains and rivers. He is a teacher of Li Cheng and Guo Xi. The mountains and stones are soft and less rendered. The pen and ink are beautiful in the early years, the later years are beautiful and simple, and the style is sparse and simple. This "Snow Map of the Peaks" is a good product of Mr. Zhensu's later years. The scene is open and the artistic conception is deep. Although it depicts the snow scene, it does not give people a bleak and desolate feeling. On the contrary, in this icy and snowy scenery, it seems that a trace of melting spring can be faintly felt. While appreciating the painting, Zhu Kui commented on it.
However, except for the Guangzhou governor Yingshan who just perfunctorily flattered a few words, he did not appreciate these so-called landscape paintings as well as Jin Yu in his eyes. It's just that as an intermediary between the Eight Banners of Guangzhou and Zhu Gyu, the governors of Guangdong and Guangxi, Yingshan is a calm person after all, patiently listening to the other party show off the level of art appreciation.
The afterglow of Zhu Kui's eyes glanced at Na Yingshan and saw that the governor of Guangdong was pretending on the side. He smiled implicitly in his heart, but he did not break it. He sat down and took a sip of tea: "This painting is a gift given by Pan Youdu, the general merchant of the thirteen lines yesterday. According to what Lord Futai sees, how valuable is this thing?
"Hmm?!" Yingshan really didn't expect that Zhu Ju, who had always been pretentative and honest, would also talk to him about the vulgar things. He was really not used to it. After a long time, he came to his senses, looked at the painting for a long time, and made a calculation according to the level of his gift.
"It's worth at least 5,000 taels. If you are a subordinate, if you don't have more than 5,000 taels, you can't afford it at all." Ying Shan is very sure. After all, your excellency, you are the governor. If you send you with three or five hundred taels of objects, it is not only to look down on you, but also to look down on your status as the governor of Liangguang.
Hearing this sentence, Zhu Ju looked at the stalking governor of Guangdong with dull eyes. He felt that this guy was so shameless that he could even say such words.
"Governor, I don't know if you are right. Your Excellency, what's wrong with you?" When Yingshan saw Zhu Jue's dull eyes, he couldn't help asking in astonishment.
"Nothing, hehe, I didn't expect that Lord Ying's evaluation of this painting was quite high. That's right. If this picture of Qunfeng Xueji falls in the eyes of those collectors, I'm afraid it's more than that. Pan Youdu can really handle it." Zhu Kui patted his forehead gently. Do you know what happened to Pan Youdu?
--------------------
"Isn't it for the General Liang?" Yingshan followed Zhu's words and asked. Pan Youdu is the father-in-law of Mr. Liang's soldiers. In the past few years, the business of the Pan family has become bigger and bigger. Here, our Mr. Liang has made a lot of efforts. Humph... The subordinate thought that he, Liang Pengfeimingly cracked down on smugglers and pirates. He was afraid that it was actually to let his father-in-law control the smuggling of the two broad seas, otherwise. Why did Yingyi in Panheng on Hong Kong Island, and the former governor Lin strictly ordered not to trade with Yi merchants without authorization, but the business of the Pan family has been huge in recent years?
"There are other 13 banks of merchants, who must also be depressed. Otherwise, why don't the annual tariffs rise?" It has been half a year since Yingshan came to Guangdong. In the past half of the year, except for those businessmen from Guangdong who gave some congratulations at the beginning of their tenure, they have rarely come to the door.
Think about whether you are an inspector in Zhili, or a political envoy in Hunan, or in Guangxi, or a governor in Guizhou. Where are those merchants and gentry take the appearance of entering their own court and receive filial piety every year, no more than 100,000 taels of silver, a lot of At that time, it can even reach as much as 170,000 to 80,000 taels.
However, when I arrived at the fishy place of Guangdong, I had long heard that the merchants in Guangdong were rich, and the silver could almost be built into a mountain. As a result, after half a year, the gifts received would never exceed 20,000 taels of silver, which made Yingshan extremely unhappy, and could even be said to be angry. Being an official is only for money. Is it easy for me? I finally came to Guangdong, but I earned less than in other places. How can this make Yingshan psychologically balanced?
When he wanted to pinch the mistakes of these guys, or when picking the thorns, Yingshan found that he had hit the iron plate. Liang Pengfei actually stood up brazenly to support his father-in-law, and... and his uncle Ye Shanglin supported him.
These two are the big men of the thirteen banks of Guangdong. Pan Youdu is the general businessman. He took the general businessman, and other businessmen will give in. However, Liang Pengfei, a guy who ignored the rules of officialdom, jumped out. Yingshan was a little blind. He couldn't make money or scrape the ground. Yingshan naturally hated Liang Pengfei to his bones. .
So, after the Eight Banners left-du Erbujia had a feud with Liang Pengfei, Yingshan encouraged the stupid Ebujia to fight against Liang Pengfei. Unexpectedly, the new governor of Liangguang also found him, so the two sides hit together and had a common goal. It is to pull Liang Pengfei off the horse.
Zhu Kui wants to pull Liang Pengfei off the horse. One is to stand up for power, and the other is to borrow Liang Pengfei's case to find a way to get over to He Shen. Even if he can't overturn him, he will make him sick and his hands and feet are in chaos. He not only relieves the hatred in his heart, but also allows Prince Jia to see that although his teacher is far away in Guangdong, he still has Ability affects the court, and pays more attention to his political skills and abilities.
And Na Yingshan and other people want to engage in Liang Pengfei for many reasons as well. First, Liang Pengfei has offended the forehead. Ebujia must not be able to swallow this breath. Second, many of the original smugglers were related to those eight flags. As a result, Liang Pengfei has hit hard in the past two years. Smuggling has cost those eight flags of Guangzhou a lot of money.
Another point is that this guy doesn't talk about the rules of officialdom at all. He actually covers the group of businessmen. In addition, his domestic slave Wu Qianjin is now also the general of a town. Two powerful figures support these vendors behind their backs, which has made those officials who have received countless bribes extremely unhappy.
Therefore, when they heard that Liang Pengfei was going to be overturned, 99% of the officials in Guangdong and Guangxi would happily raise their hands to vote in favor.
Zhu Gui felt that he was thinking about the overall situation of the court. Ying Shan and others wanted to make money in Liangguang smoothly. Both sides were pregnant with ghosts, but they tacitly did not expose each other.
Zhu Ju said that he was a famous scholar and hated corruption very much. However, he could not change the status quo of the whole Qing officialdom. What he thought in his heart was how to take Liang Pengfei first with these corrupt officials and virtual snakes and take Liang Pengfei fiercely. At that time, he will use the means to make the two Guangxi officials. Rule the Qingming Festival.
Well... This is the wishful thinking of almost all the literati who have read a few hundred and read.
Zhu Kui smiled and said in a low voice, "Yes, I also suspect that Liang Pengfei has a posture of being loyal to the country. In fact, I don't know how many dirty things he has done in private. Pan Youdu came to find the governor. The governor has expected that this son is probably guilty in nine out of ten and let his father-law have a test it."
"Yes, Governor, General Fuchang has been sending people to secretly monitor the people of Liangfu. Since this period, Liangfu has had a lot of new faces, all of which are plagiarizing men, and one or two of them are murderous. At a glance, you can see that they are evil villains. Ordinary people can't get close at all. Liang Mansion.
--------------------
However, there is one thing that can be confirmed. Liang Pengfei must have colluded with the pirates. If it hadn't been for General Fuchang and the governor, you would have made arrangements. I really want to ask you to do it now and take down this man, Pan Youdu and other people to show the national law.
"Our target is Liang Pengfei, a well-conceived thief. Pan Youdu and others are just a businessman. As long as they get rid of Liang Pengfei, they will not be captured? So don't do that act of instimbrate the snake. Zhu Kui glanced at Yingshan with his deep-deep eyes.
Yingshan smiled and said respectfully, "Yes, Mr. Governor, so I dare to ask Mr. Governor, how long do we have to wait? You know, General Fuchang and Er have all been arranged, as long as you..."
"Please tell General Fu and Edutong that this is Guangzhou City, and his subordinates are all in Humen Town. Here, even if he hides three or five hundred men, what's the use? Is it possible that the governor's supervision camp is a vegetarian? A few more days later, when the emperor's imperial edict arrives, I will ask him to come to the governor's office to wait for the order. At that time, he will not bring it with him. Zhu Ji seemed to be so confident.
"Okay, now that the governor has a good policy, the subordinates will return to General Fu. At that time, we will come to see this confession of guilt together and restore the Qingming Festival in Guangdong." Yingshan was overjoyed. He got up and solemnly saluted Zhu Kui.
In that Liang's mansion, Liang Pengfei's right-hands are nestled together at this moment, and they are also calculating. Your Excellency, the defense of the governor's office is much stricter than before. Moreover, the governor's camp is also energetic and is stepping up training. It seems that it is ready to sharpen the gun before going to battle.
"It seems that they are ready to do it soon."
"Your Excellency, don't worry, the layout of the city has been complete. In the past few months, our people have penetrated a lot as hardmen, handymen and craftsmen. Most of them are Guangzhou people, and there will be no flaws at all. The thirteen lines and the dock area have been completely controlled by us. In addition, all weapons have been placed in place. At that time, we only need your order, and we can control the key parts in the shortest time. As for the supervision and care of the bids in the city, we really don't pay attention to them. Ni Ming is full of confidence.
"Well, even if they don't want to move, I also want to tease them to move. I don't have time to continue to chat with them. The strategic deployment in the north has been completed, and all soldiers and horses are on standby, just waiting for us to play." Liang Pengfei said with a smile. He has been looking forward to this day for a long time.
