Chapter 255: Cai Guoxi's Request
After breakfast, the prefect asked to go alone with Zhao Gongzi to eliminate food.
Zhao Hao invited him to go around the temple and accept the spiritual baptism of the ancient temple clear spring and ginkgo biloba and red maple.
"I can't imagine that there is such a good place in Xishan." Stepping on the golden ginkgo leaves all over the ground, Cai Zhifu couldn't help but be intoxicated.
"Dongting West Mountain has always been a blessed land." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "If it weren't too far from the land, it would have become a prosperous place long ago." Of course, it will not be the turn of Jiangnan Company to get involved. ”
"Hahaha, your company can operate here with peace of mind. If Cai is in Suzhou for a day, no one will beat you up for the idea of Dongting Xishan. ”
Cai Zhifu, who has never been involved in trouble, is rare to take care of it once. It's just that saying it at this time inevitably makes people doubt sincerity.
"Just wait for my husband's words." Zhao Hao didn't dislike it, and thanked him happily.
"Xishan Island is in the hands of others, but it is just a desert island, and in the hands of Zhao Gongzi, it has value." Cai Zhifu's words of New Year's greetings made Zhao Hao secretly want to laugh.
It seems that Governor Cai, who has always regarded himself very highly, is really forced to do his part.
Fortunately, Cai Guoxi's heart was also in a hurry, and after a few more compliments, he finally turned back to the topic.
"It's a pity...... Now that the people have become so troubled, the official can't even go back to the city. Cai Guoxi sighed: "If you don't hurry up and do something, I'm afraid that this prefect will come to an end." ”
The implication is that when the new prefect of Suzhou arrives, he may not be like me, not only coveting it, but also protecting your cement yard.
"My husband's ancestor is serious." Zhao Gongzi hurriedly comforted: "It's just some disturbing people's livelihood, and it will soon subside if it is handled properly." ”
"Yes, this government is indeed going to make a move." Cai Guoxi nodded solemnly, but then lowered his face and said: "But the gunman battalions in Suzhou Mansion and Fuguo County can't be counted on, so they can only find another way." ”
"Why?" Zhao Hao looked puzzled.
"The gunman battalion is all local people, and it would be good if they didn't make trouble with the rebels, and letting them quell the rebellion is tantamount to fighting fires!" Cai Zhifu sighed depressedly, looked at Zhao Hao and said, "Zhao Gongzi, only you can help this mansion at the moment." ”
"Your Excellency, please make it clear, what can be done, you will definitely do it in the future." Zhao Gongzi nodded and said nonsense.
"Okay." Cai Zhifu didn't care so much, took a deep breath and said, "Please lend someone to the mansion to help the official quell the chaos!" ”
"My husband is joking, right? Jiangnan Company is just an insignificant small business, with only more than 300 security guards on this island. Zhao Gongzi smiled bitterly and said: "They are security guards, not city management, and they don't have such strong combat effectiveness." ”
"Ah, chengguan?" Cai Zhifu was stunned for a moment, and wanted to ask what kind of army the chengguan was, and he could be so praised by Zhao Gongzi?
But thinking about the right thing is important, he still suppressed his curiosity and said:
"Although there are fewer 300 security guards, there are still tens of thousands of sturdy miners on the island, and if they are armed, it will be very spectacular!" Cai Guoxi's eyes drifted to the back of the mountain, where there was a rumbling sound from time to time.
"Fuzun, you're not joking, are you?" Zhao Gongzi said with a stunned face: "Those are all farmers in Kunshan County, they have a lot of strength, but they can only smash stones and not fight." ”
"You don't have to fight, it's just a show." Cai Zhifu stood on his feet and said to him in a low voice: "It is one thing to scare and scare those chaotic people, but more importantly, Lin Zhongcheng will come back early tomorrow." ”
"Oh." Zhao Hao then remembered that Lin Run had gone to Songjiang Qingzhangmu, and it was estimated that this was just the beginning, and he had to return to Suzhou, and he must be very angry.
"Lin Zhongcheng is known as the 'jade-faced Yama', and His Majesty is very strict." Governor Cai said with a bitter face: "If you watch this official hiding in Xishan and doing nothing, I'm afraid I'm going to go crazy." ”
"So I'm borrowing your person, just for show." Governor Cai said truthfully: "When Zhongcheng arrives, he will dispatch troops according to the situation, and he will definitely let your people withdraw." ”
"I see." Zhao Hao suddenly gave a thumbs up and said: "This move 'bluff', high, really high." ”
"Hey, it's all forced." Cai Zhifu couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The Diao people in Suzhou are fierce, and Lin Zhongcheng is even more fierce, and this mansion is really difficult." ”
"yes, it's really hard to deal with." Zhao Hao nodded, and said carefully: "When I was studying, I saw that since ancient times, the civil unrest has been suppressed and appeased. Can my husband prepare for both? In this way, Zhongcheng will be better explained when he comes back. ”
"Hey, the official talked to them, but you also ......saw it," Cai Zhifu spread his hands and said: "It's all about Xishan Island, and the official's yamen was also burned by them." ”
"This is the result of a long-term lack of mutual trust between the people and the government." Zhao Hao said: "Therefore, we need to find an intermediary to mediate." ”
"What do you mean?" Cai Zhifu somewhat understood.
"Not bad." Zhao Hao nodded, raised his eyes, and a water more than ten miles away was the East Mountain of Taihu Lake.
"It's the Dongting Merchant Gang."
"Oops, how did I forget about them!" Cai Zhifu suddenly patted his head. "The clothing, food, housing and transportation of the people of Suzhou are inseparable from those Dongting merchants, and it is most appropriate for them to come forward at this time!"
"Zhang Tong's judgment!" Governor Cai shouted, and Zhang Tongju, who was far behind, hurriedly ran over.
"What do you command?"
"Aren't you quite familiar with the people of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce?"
"Also, it's not familiar, it's just acquaintance." Zhang Jiong hurriedly excused himself.
"It doesn't matter if you know each other or are familiar with it, hurry up and take a boat to Dongshan, and help me invite President Weng of the Dongting Chamber of Commerce and two vice presidents to come here."
Governor Cai didn't want to say anything, and sent a task: "Be quick, this mansion will set up a dinner party and wait for them!" ”
"Ah, yes......" Zhang Jiong was anxious when he heard this, this round-trip water and land route is almost eighty miles, and you have to invite all three of you, it's difficult for a strong man!
Time waited for no one, and he hurriedly ran down the mountain with a smoke.
Then Governor Cai smiled at Zhao Hao embarrassedly and said, "I also bother to invite your company to help Zhang Luo have a table of dinner that can be passed." ”
"No problem." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded.
~~
Zhang Tongju hurried and begged his grandfather to tell his grandmother, and finally rushed back to Guanyin Temple before dark to bring President Weng and Xu and Liu, the two vice presidents.
The dinner was set up in the incense room in front of the temple, and it was still the chef in Washington, but Cai Zhifu couldn't eat a bite.
Lin Zhongcheng will come back tomorrow, if he can't talk about Ding Mao tonight, the guy who eats tomorrow will be kicked as a ball.
After barely holding on to the wine for three rounds, he went straight to the point and said to President Weng: "Old Weng, please be sure to do this house a favor." Tomorrow I will send someone into the city and talk to the troublesome people, and see what they think. The trouble will go on and ruin Suzhou, and everyone will not be good. ”
P.S. It's not tonight, let's make it up tomorrow.
