Chapter 7540 Domineering
Linze City.
"The city walls here are very unique."
Luo Xingchen opened the curtain of the carriage and looked forward.
What caught his eye was a city wall about three meters high.
There is almost no big difference between such a high city wall and no city wall at all.
"Linze City does not need a city wall. This is a city of commerce. Businessmen from all walks of life can enter and exit the city freely...Linze City has its own powerful gates in the north and south, and it does not need it for defense." Zi Yan said lightly.
"I heard that our branch of Yang's Trading Company in Tianwan County is located here."
Luo Xingchen looked up and looked outside.
The sound of traffic flowed into my ears.
This feeling is like I haven't experienced it for a long time, as if I have returned to the capital.
Compared to the purity in the mountains, he obviously prefers crowded and lively places.
"There are quite a few people from overseas."
Seeing the blond and blue-eyed people appearing on the road from time to time, Luo Xingchen raised a smile on his lips.
Such overseas people are often seen in the capital.
Now that Daqi has opened its treaty ports, commerce is becoming more and more prosperous.
"From now on, you'll have to worry about it." Zi Yan said.
"Perhaps the court cannot pass the resolution? The Customs Governor, an official with such power, why would you, gentlemen, let it fall on my head? Especially, recently, two more bachelors have been added to the cabinet." Luo
Star Road.
"Yes, Feng Yueheng and Jiang Wanliu have entered the cabinet. The cabinet now has five people instead of three." Zi Yan said.
"What did the emperor think? Why did he let these two people join the cabinet? They were from Dongling Academy." Luo Xingchen frowned.
"The Emperor has his own considerations. Although these two people are from Dongling Academy, they do not completely represent the interests of the Dongling Academy faction. Moreover, letting them enter the cabinet is equivalent to putting them on the table, so they want to
Whatever they do, they cannot let the imperial court take the blame. In a sense, they themselves represent the imperial court."
Purple smoke.
"I don't understand the emperor's thoughts. If the appointment fails, it's none of my business. I don't want to go."
Luo Xingchen curled his lips.
He still wants to study hard for a few years and live a stable life for a few years. After all, he is still young.
In addition, his position as naval admiral is still there, what will happen then?
"You are already in a high position, but the adults in the capital don't know how important the navy admiral is. The customs governor is not much stronger than the navy admiral," Zi Yan said.
"That's different. The governor of the customs is a civilian official, and the admiral of the navy is a military attache. How can these be the same? Since the founding of the country, Da Qi has always been a civil servant but a military commander..."
"In addition, when I was appointed as admiral of the navy, I did not get a title. If I became the governor of customs, I would have to add the title of minister as a rule, and then I would become a first-class official... Haha, a first-class official who is less than twenty years old is not a Jinshi, just a Jinshi.
Juren, is there a second person in our government? The adults will definitely not approve this appointment."
Luo Xingchen picked up the tea cup and took a sip of Pang Dahai's tea.
"Don't worry about that. If it really happens, it's the Emperor's business. Let's finish the matter at hand." Zi Yan said.
"Okay, since we are talking about the matter at hand, let's not talk about the Beili family. Sister Ziyan, please first tell us about the branch of Yang's Trading Company in Linze City. What kind of business does it do?"
Luo Xingchen stretched lazily.
"Mainly business in these areas, ready-made clothing, porcelain and brown sugar, white sugar..."
Zi Yan pursed her lips and said, "Don't ask me for details. You have to ask the local person in charge about the business of Yang's Trading Company."
"So, who is the person in charge of the Linze City branch?"
Luo Xingchen asked.
"The person in charge is Long Junhao, a businessman born and raised in Linze City." Zi Yan said calmly.
"Long Junhao? Never heard of it." Luo Xingchen shook his head.
"Isn't it normal that I haven't heard of it? Now that Yang's Trading Company has such a big stall, even Yang Hanzhu may not know everything. She still needs to look at the roster." Zi Yan said.
"What is Yang Hanzhu doing recently? Isn't she in Sixiang City?"
Yang Hanzhu has a high status in Yang's business firm.
Yang Ruoqing does not manage much of Yang's business. Yang Hanzhu is basically responsible for many specific matters.
Every once in a while, Luo Xingchen would receive many of the latest business reports about Yang's Trading Company from Yang Hanzhu.
"She is no longer in Sixiang City. She has been at the dock city recently, preparing for future shipping. Shipping will be a very important business for Yang's Trading Company in the future."
Purple smoke.
"It would be great if Yang Hanzhu was here. I have never met Long Junhao, but I still want to go to the branch. I want to know how much power Yang's firm has in Tianwan County."
Luo Xingchen knows very well that wealth is a kind of power. He cannot be confused and must control it clearly.
"It doesn't matter if I haven't met him before. You are the young president, so he should explain it clearly to you," Zi Yan said.
"Let's talk about it after we go."
Luo Xingchen took another sip and was not ready to speak anymore.
The carriage headed towards the city gate.
But I heard a cry of surprise from ahead.
"Oops, I hit someone."
Luo Xingchen raised a corner of the curtain and looked forward.
I saw a thin man, opening his arms to protect a woman and a three- or four-year-old child behind him.
The woman huddled on the ground with a very painful expression.
Some people around them stopped and pointed at them.
"The people from Yang's Trading Company are too domineering."
"Yes, is there no royal law? How many times has this hit someone?"
"We ordinary people can't afford to offend him. They are very powerful."
"This family is miserable."
"..."
Luo Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly.
He heard the words Yang's Trading Company.
"Sister Ziyan, that carriage belongs to Yang's Trading Company?"
"I don't know. I'll send someone to check."
Ziyan tapped her fingers on the carriage, and then, a person jumped out of the carriage in front of her.
After a while, the man returned to the carriage and handed Zi Yan a piece of paper.
"It's already been investigated."
Zi Yan glanced at it and said.
"So fast, the hidden guards are very efficient in doing things."
"Of course, this is a subordinate I trained."
Zi Yan handed over the paper in her hand.
After Luo Xingchen took it, he glanced at it.
The words on the paper are written very carefully.
In such a short period of time, he could complete the preliminary investigation and quickly write it down in detail. This ability is considered to be relatively outstanding among the hidden guards.
After Luo Xingchen read it, a look of anger flashed across his face.
"The people in Linzecheng branch are lawless. Who gave them the power?"
The paper recorded some complaints from nearby people against Yang's Trading Company. They were all things people from Yang's Trading Company did to oppress the people, including this time the horse-drawn carriage raced and knocked down the people.
