Chapter 808
Looking at Shi Kefa's respectful appearance in front of him, Xu Changqing not only did not feel at all satisfied, but felt a little sad in his heart.
This man is really a tragedy.
In another time and space, the land under his feet was his sad place. Even though he tried his best, he was crushed to pieces, he still failed to stop the wild boar skin's military attack. Instead, it was the "Ten Days of Yangzhou" that opened the tragic prelude to the Southern Ming Dynasty...
"Haha. Master Ge, you are so loving. By the way, there was something I had wanted to discuss with Master Ge, but I had never had the chance. Today, it happened that time was still enough. Master Ge, I wonder if he had the intention to listen to Changqing's speech?"
Xu Changqing quickly adjusted his mentality, looked at Shi Kefa with a smile, and entered the real topic.
"Mr. Marquis, please tell me, listen carefully."
Shi Kefa also came back to his senses and looked at Xu Changqing solemnly.
Even though Xu Changqing had already made a statement at this time, he would never dare to take it lightly before the water fell and the stone came out!
The young man in front of me is really a tiger and wolf!
Xu Changqing did not mind Shi Kefa's attitude, and even his attitude made Xu Changqing more at ease...
He smiled and said, "Ge Master, that's it. You must have read the detailed report of this battle of Jiuxian Mountain. Although I won the Ming Dynasty, the price I paid was heavy, and even more painful. Master Yansheng is a number one person, but he is a little thin. Changqing had been thinking before, if there was a court official who knew and was good at soldiers on the southeast line of Shandong, would the effect be much better?"
"this……"
Shi Kefa's pupils suddenly magnified. How could he think that Xu Changqing was not trying to control him and threaten the court, but to throw such a big fat man to him.
To be honest, even if you are the chief assistant, Shi Kefa has done enough long ago.
For him, the title of the prime minister not only did not bring him any effect, but instead made him confined to that small space like a bird in a cage, unable to stretch his legs or keep up, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.
And at this time, Xu Changqing actually gave him such a wonderful idea!
Even if he goes out to take charge, he is still on the front line of southern Shandong and is very likely to face great risks. His reputation for being famous for his lifetime may be lost, but he can do what he really wants to do and truly do something for the country and the people!
He was a little confused by Xu Changqing's big pie, but Shi Kefa was not a fool, and he was not blinded. He pondered for a while and said, "Marty, this matter is a great charity. I just don't know that this inspector, please call the inspector for the time being, what kind of responsibilities are you responsible for?"
Xu Changqing had already prepared, so he opened the map on the wall and said with a smile: "Ge Lao, look, Changqing means connecting Qufu, Jining, including the Central Plains, and the Kaifeng line to promote new troops, purify officials, and even more purify military affairs. This is similar to Hong Chengchou's three-sided governor back then. Connecting these areas should be enough to establish a governor, right?"
As he said that, Xu Changqing continued to explain: "The master of the Pavilion is mainly Changqing and the Model Army, which is really difficult to divert. We must deal with the positive situation of the Qing Dynasty. We are really limited in energy and have no skills in the clone. If we can connect these places and connect them into a line, Changqing and the Model Army can rest assured and devote our efforts to lay out the battle situation ahead!"
...
Shi Kefa stayed with Xu Changqing for almost an hour before leaving. In the living room outside, Ma Shiying and Qian Qianyi could not wait. Fortunately, they were already accustomed to this.
Moreover, not only will he not blame Xu Changqing for the matter, but he will become more cautious about Shi Kefa.
While waiting for Ma Shiying to come, Xu Changqing was also quickly recuperating his thoughts.
Xu Changqing released Shi Kefa from Nanjing, but was definitely not aimless, but the result of careful consideration.
Because there is only Shi Kefa in the Nanjing cabinet now, there is no background and the innocent one.
On the surface, he represents the interests of the entire Jiangnan, but if it is really specific, who will abandon him?
Although Shi Kefa's military affairs are not good, he has a very good personality, more fierce and strong, and is very suitable for handling military affairs. It is mainly for the past year and two years. It is difficult for the Qing Dynasty to have the strength to launch an offensive against the Ming Dynasty, which can give Shi Kefa a lot of familiarity and management time.
If Shi Kefa took the position of governor or inspector, he would not only become more famous, but also be able to maximize the use of the resources of the court, and he would definitely be able to truly accomplish something.
As for military affairs—
Xu Changqing was not worried at all.
The layout of the skeleton officers of the Model Army has basically taken shape. The core positions in these areas are not necessarily the Model Army, but the second-in-command deputy must be the Model Army.
Even if Shi Kefa really has great skills, Xu Changqing is not afraid, let alone, Shigemen is just a nerd...
...
"Mr. Marquis, it's been a long time since I saw you, and your style is better than the past."
"Haha, Master Ma Ge, you praised him. Master Ma Ge is full of energy and enviable."
Ma Shiying rushed over quickly.
Xu Changqing didn't have to be too polite to Ma Shiying, who was cunning, knew the power of the officialdom, and was deeply silly at the secrets of the officialdom. He gave him a brief greeting and the maid served tea, so the two of them went straight to the point.
Xu Changqing will explain the basics of this trip that Shi Kefa explained to Ma Shiying again.
"this……"
Ma Shiying was also a little confused, as if she didn't expect that Xu Changqing would give up such terrifying interests so easily.
But he was not Shi Kefa. After thinking for a while, he respectfully said to Xu Changqing's eyes: "Mr. Marquis, then what do you mean..."
Xu Changqing wiped the matcha cup slowly, "Ge Lao, Changqing's meaning is very simple, it's just one thing!"
As he said that, Xu Changqing pointed at his feet.
Ma Shiying's expression changed again and she frowned tightly.
Of course he understood Xu Changqing's profound meaning, which was Lianghuai Salt Industry!
Even he had to admire Xu Changqing's skill and accuracy. It was simply a sharp attack and a sword to seal the throat!
It seems that I have given up some big-level things, but I have to hold a chicken that can lay golden eggs tightly.
To a large extent, Ma Shiying was not unacceptable to this matter, because the current state of Lianghuai is no longer under their control.
But he still wants to resist!
After all, is it not to be able to get a little back?
After pondering for a while, he looked at Xu Changqing's eyes and said, "Marty, the matter of salt in the two Huai Rivers is directly related to the lifeline of the Ming Dynasty. This matter is very important, so you must be careful and cautious."
"hehe."
Xu Changqing smiled and savored the tea in a simplicity: "Gei Master, Changqing also knew that this matter was very important, so he invited Lord Yansheng and a group of wealthy merchants and gentry in southern Shandong to do this together. Moreover, this matter is not to do anything to do it alone! Some people have been eating the "Nine Outs and Thirteen Returns" for 200 years. Do you still want to give up some oil and water in this situation?"
"this……"
Ma Shiying's face changed again and again, and the weather was uncertain.
Xu Changqing's words were already straightforward enough, and it also gave many of them enough face. If he still didn't know how to be polite and refused to let go, then he would really be polite...
But how could Mr. Ma do something ignorant?
Smile again
After a while, he said, "Marty, I don't know how to allocate this share?"
"Oh."
Xu Changqing sneered: "This depends on fate!"
“…”
Ma Shiying was speechless for a while, and said heavy but relaxedly: "Mr. Marquis, I know..."
...
Ma Shiying only stayed with Xu Changqing for less than half an hour before going out. Qian Qianyi has always been Xu Changqing's tyrant, and the time has been even shorter, less than a quarter of an hour.
However, even if the efficiency has been much faster later, after the three big guys' work, it is already time for dinner. Almost all the salt merchants who are waiting here with the elders are anxious to get angry.
The salt merchants who had many entanglements with Ma Shiying were all the same at this time.
Because after Ma Shiying came out, she didn't say anything at all and left directly.
This made everyone who was not very down-to-earth is becoming more and more uncomfortable.
The key is that there will be a banquet tonight. They are waiting here, and they have no need to eat lunch, so they can only go hungry...
"no!"
"Everyone, everyone, we can't sit and wait for death anymore. Yesterday, the Marquis of Haicheng clearly promised us that he would sit down and talk to us. But today, the Marquis of Haicheng obviously broke his promise, and we must ask for an explanation!"
"Yes, both in terms of emotion and reason, the Marquis of Haicheng should meet us and listen to our demands. What's the matter with such a one-size-fits-all approach? How can fairness and justice be expressed?"
"Everyone, we will work together to meet the Marquis of Haicheng, otherwise the salt industry in Lianghuai will be in danger..."
The salt merchants quickly became restless, and soon they gathered in a huge momentum. They went directly to Qin Dongxu, who was on duty here, to find an explanation.
Although these people are not officials, most of them have fame and fortune, and most of them are juren. Even though the situation is not very beneficial to them at this time, they are not too scared and are still very aggressive.
It seemed as if I had moved myself, and the network behind me had come alive, covering the sky and the sun.
In the corner, Wang Fuchun, who deliberately pretended to be sick and disguised as a servant, showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth.
With their means, they still want to fight against the Marquis of Haicheng, who is so powerful that the world is so powerful. Isn’t this the old birthday star hanging himself - I think I have long life?
"stop!"
"What do you want to do?"
"Whoever dares to break in and kill is not to mention the model army!"
"Swish swish swish swish!"
Qin Dongxu would definitely not give in to these people. With his order, the personal soldiers on duty pushed them away tyrannically. Then a piece of steel knife was unsheathed, and the dark muzzles of many bird gun soldiers behind him were aimed at them.
In this instant, the arrogance of the salt merchants was stopped. They looked at me one by one, and no one dared to be the first to be a pioneer again.
"Oh, it's a shame, it's a shame..."
Some people couldn't help but sigh as if they were beating their parents.
At this time, several presidents had some tricks, and someone said, "Everyone, the Marquis of Haicheng has been meeting guests one after another in the morning. I guess we are already very tired. We are a little unkind at this time. Let's go back and prepare first, and wait for the evening before coming to meet the Marquis of Haicheng."
Everyone was not fools, and they quickly understood what the presidents meant. After some behavior, they all left quickly.
No one stayed except Wang Fuchun.
Even Wang Fuchun and his group of people stayed, and they had a gap with him overnight.
Chapter completed!
