Selling Ma Street, the Governor's Palace, Signing Houses.

Deng Tingzhen quickly glanced at the "Xiguan Daily", the news articles published in the newspaper, to say that the eye-catching except for Yuan Qi's public refusal to smoke crows. In addition to the filmmaker, it is a serialization of "The Wealth of Nations" written by foreigners, put down the "Xiguan Daily" in his hand,

He looked at the governor Yiliang, the prefect Zhuerhang'a, the prefect Lu Sunding, the prefect of Panyu County, and Liu Kaiyu of Nanhai County, and the four people, but he didn't know what the four people meant.

Obviously, several prefectural and county officials came along with the governor of Yiliang, not to praise Yuan Qi for openly rejecting the crow. film, and the "Wealth of Nations" obviously did not attract their attention.

Seeing that Deng Tingzhen was silent, the prefect Zhuerhang'a was a little nervous, he glanced at the governor Yiliang who was holding his nails with his ********head down, and he was a little unsure of the other party's thoughts, the two magistrates who lowered their heads and pondered the green bricks on the ground obviously did not dare to speak, and after calming down, he said in a deep voice: "Lord Ministry, Yuanqi is not an official office, there are tens of thousands of practitioners, and the big shopkeeper of Yuanqi is easy to be content, but a businessman can turn over the money industry of a province in the palm of his hand, and he can determine the honor and disgrace of tens of thousands of people in one word, and he is also brave with hundreds of armed muskets. This is not a blessing for the place, not a blessing for the imperial court. ”

Hearing this, Yi Liang, who was concentrating on removing his nails, frowned, he didn't expect Zhuerhanga to say it so directly, and he couldn't help but be secretly angry in his heart, is this going to drag him into the water? He immediately scolded: "Nonsense, Yuan Qi dominates the money industry in Guangdong, how can the imperial court not know?" The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the provincial officials, as far as you Zhuerhang A eyes are bright, the most loyal? ”

"I don't dare." Zhuerhanga hurriedly bowed his head and said, this hat is a little too buttoned. And when this word was spread, the people who sinned were sent to the sea. But. Since he opened his mouth, he was not afraid, and then he stiffened his neck and said: "The lowly is the prefect of Guangzhou, and Yuan Qi is under the eyelids of the lowly position, and he dare not say it boldly." ”

Deng Tingzhen didn't look at the two of them, but looked straight at the two magistrates who lowered their heads, and said, "Liu Kaiyu, Lu Sunding!" ”

Liu Kaiyu of Nanhai Governor County and Lu Sunding of Panyu Governor County hurriedly bowed their already bowed bodies again, and said in unison: "Humble duty." ”

Deng Tingzhen said in a deep voice: "Yuan Qi has done something wrong recently? Liu Kaiyu said first. ”

This is really a soft pinch of persimmon fingering. Liu Kaiyu secretly complained in his heart, but he didn't dare not say it, and immediately said with a bitter face: "I didn't hear that Yuan Qi had any misdeeds, but I heard that there were many craftsmen in Changle Machinery Factory, and they were miscellaneous, so they sent officials to inspect and were brought back. ”

"Lord Yubudo." Zhuerhanga hurriedly said: "There are more than 1,000 craftsmen in Changle Machinery Factory, and there are hundreds of Yi people, and I am worried that there are lawbreakers who use the factory to harbor and sell crows. sent someone to investigate, but unexpectedly someone drove him out with a musket. ”

Seeing him rush to speak. Deng Tingzhen glanced at him and asked, "Lu Sun Ding." When did this happen? ”

Lu Sunding said in a low voice: "Last year's New Year's Pass." ”

Last year's New Year? Deng Tingzhen snorted coldly, he had been in the place for a long time, and he was very clear about the dirty things below, and immediately laughed and said: "In this way, Guangzhou Mansion, Nanhai, and Panyu counties are actually joint inspections of Changle Machinery Factory?" ”

Liu Kaiyu and Lu Sunding all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, they couldn't afford to provoke the thirteen lines, and they couldn't afford to provoke Yuanqi, how could they go to provoke Changle Machinery Factory when they were full, and at the end of last year, a group of officials from Guangzhou Mansion went to Changle, ate a closed door, and turned around and pulled the officials of the two counties forward.

Yi Zhishu personally visited the door afterwards, in addition to the usual tribute, he also sent an additional sum of silver, originally thought that this matter would cover up the past, but unexpectedly, Zhuerhanga was a grudge, and took Yuanqi to publicly refuse the crow. The film caused a huge response to talk about things, and also brought the two to make a strong voice.

Zhuerhang'a really didn't expect the two magistrates to be so cowardly, but since the matter was said, he was not afraid, and immediately replied: "The Yuanqi Protector Merchant Group openly confronts the officials, which is really appalling and worrying, and I humbly ask for the banning of the Yuanqi Protector Merchant Group." ”

Hearing this, Deng Tingzhen glanced at Yi Liang and said: "Guangdong's excerpt of asking for a trial minting of silver dollars to expel foreign dollars was played by the main department and Lord Yi, and Lord Yi should know that Yuanqi has a mint." ”

Hearing this, Yiliang smiled heartlessly: "The Yuanqi Mint is in the Changle Machinery Factory?" ”

Deng Tingzhen looked at Zhuerhanga and said, "The mint has been minting coins for several months and has hoarded millions of silver dollars. Piece, or want to check the silver dollar? ”

Yuanqi still has a mint? Zhuerhang Aden was dumbfounded, Deng Tingzhen glanced at him in disgust, and said in a light tone: "Whether Yuanqi is the blessing of the place, the blessing of the court, the government and the opposition have their own public opinion, if you think you are loyal, you might as well draw up an excerpt, and the headquarters will play it for you." ”

The cold sweat on Zhuerhang'a's back was dripping out, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't dare to be humble." ”

Deng Tingzhen didn't bother to pay attention to him, immediately picked up the teacup and drank tea, seeing him serving tea to the guests, Zhuerhanga was relieved and hurriedly bowed and retreated, and the three people who waited for him to retreat, Yiliang said with a smile: "Zhuerhanga is Mu Xiang's person." ”

Zhurhanga is the person of the chief military aircraft minister Mu Zhang'a? Deng Tingzhen really didn't know this, he didn't have a good impression of Mu Xiangmu Zhang'a, who was in power and the opposition, but he didn't want to deal with him for some trivial things, so he nodded carelessly, and happened to report outside the door: "Yi Zhizhi is content to ask to see outside." ”

"Let him in." After giving the order, Yiliang, who saw it, got up, and he said with a smile: "Coming here with contentment, most of it is a matter of the mint, you might as well listen to it together." ”

Yi Zhicontent naturally did not come for the mint, he wanted to leave Guangzhou, he always had to find an excuse, he was both a merchant and a treasurer of Yuanqi, he could not disappear quietly for a month or two, and he came here for this matter.

After entering the signing room and giving the two of them a salute, Deng Tingzhen stretched out his hand to signal him to sit, and said with a smile: "The officials of the Guangzhou Mansion searched the Changle Machinery Factory, why haven't you heard of the contentment mention?" ”

Yi Zhishu came in and met the three of Zhuerhang'a, and immediately understood that the other party was accusing him of blackness, and immediately said lightly: "A little thing, it is nothing more than a group of officials to see that the New Year is approaching, and they want to get some silver, and the duty of the merchant group is to not let them enter the factory, and there was a misunderstanding. ”

Hearing this, Deng Tingzhen and Yiliang were even more ashamed of Zhuerhang'a, Yiliang shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I can't see that it is really rare to be so compromised at this age." ”

"Your Excellency." Yi Zhixiang hurriedly humbled a sentence, he had to do it as a last resort, and after this year, it was not him who was compromised, but the officials in Guangzhou. (To be continued.) )
