Chapter 358: Luo Haotian's "Ladder Over the Wall"
For what Luo Haotian did, everyone in this game also knew, Brother Shi said this, although he said it, it was equivalent to not saying it. But for Luo Haotian, this is a step! What's more, although he Luo Haotian can say this kind of thing, he will never care too much. Because all along, he has never been angry with the title of "King Luoyan", and he is even a little proud! He just wants to be the king of Yama in this Jinling!
So, he began to think carefully about Shi Yuan's proposal.
Jiangnan Poetry Club, although it has always been paid for by local businesses, and then hosted by the government. But in a situation like Nanqing, this Jiangnan Poetry Club has now become a means used by local officials to make money! After a poetry meeting, all the materials used, plus all the performances, etc., cost less than 100,000 taels of silver at most!
Calculated in this way, he Luo Haotian seems to have suffered a loss. Because according to their own requirements, the Guo family and the Lin family have to pay 100,000 taels of silver. And if it is organized by him Luo Haotian, he is ready to use only 50,000 taels - anyway, no one pays attention to this poetry club in the court, and when the time comes, at most, it will provoke the dissatisfaction of these so-called talents, but what can this be?
In a situation like Nanqing, who can do anything to themselves? He Luo Haotian, but this Jinling Yama King! And if according to Shi Yuan, if this poem will be handed over to him, compared with his own plan, he will lose 50,000 taels of silver, but it will save a lot of trouble! And the most important thing is: this Jiangnan Poetry Conference, I still have to deal with Dong Qingyun, and I use less than 50,000 taels of silver to make myself worry-free, this kind of deal, it sounds like it is still very cost-effective!
Moreover...... This Jiangnan poetry meeting is also related to the major events planned by themselves!
"What does Lord Luo think?" Seeing Luo Haotian bowing his head and pondering for a long time, Brother Shi asked with a smile again.
Although Luo Haotian was moved, he still didn't believe that Shi Yuan would be so kind. As for what Shi Yuan was trying to, he didn't know very well, so he frowned and asked meaningfully, "This official, why do you believe you?" If something happens......"
"Hahaha......" Before Luo Haotian finished speaking, Brother Shi laughed for a long time, until everyone looked at him suspiciously, then he stopped and said: "You, Lord Luo, as the prefect of Jinling, have always had the final say in everything in Jinling, but I didn't expect to worry about this...... If I, Shi Yuan, really play any tricks, this is probably not what you expected? ”
This passage can be regarded as quite straightforward, completely pointing to the contradiction between himself and Luo Haotian. The people in the room couldn't help but jump in their hearts, and Luo Wenfeng clenched his fists even more: he is the center of this contradiction!
Of course, this is just his Luo Wenfeng's self-righteous thought that Luo Haotian can manage this Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon Jinling into what it is today, in addition to the chaos in the current Nanqing court and officialdom, of course, it is also inseparable from his Luo Haotian's methods! How could such Luo Haotian make a big deal for the little thing between him Luo Wenfeng and Shi Yuan? And the most important reason why he wants to deal with Shi Yuan is precisely because of the relationship between Shi Yuan and Dong Qingyun!
Dong Qingyun was nominally sent by the imperial court to rectify this Jiangnan officialdom. But Luo Haotian felt that this matter was not so simple! In the Nanqing court, anyone with a discerning eye can see it. What this officialdom in Jiangnan needs is not the rectification of a civilian official! Rather, it needs to be suppressed by force! How could he, Dong Qingyun, not see it? Therefore, Dong Qingyun brought 5,000 troops.
And Dong Qingyun's first stop was to choose this Jinling, and he wanted to take him Luo Haotian. But for the five thousand soldiers and horses brought by Dong Qingyun, he Luo Haotian didn't pay attention to it at all! This entire Jinling is completely under his control! As long as he, Dong Qingyun, dares to lead people into the city, then he, Luo Haotian, will naturally not sit idly by! When the time comes, the entire Jinling City will be transformed into a battlefield! He Dong Qingyun is not afraid of infamy on his back, how can he be afraid of King Luoyan?
Luo Haotian was ready to do this, but Dong Qingyun obviously understood this. The 5,000 men and horses he brought with him did not enter the city, but were stationed outside the city. This made Luo Haotian a little uncomfortable! Because it is impossible for him to lead those private soldiers he raises to kill, and 5,000 men and horses have been stationed outside the city, like a fish bone stuck in his throat, he needs to be on guard at all times!
But since Dong Qingyun wants to consume like this, although he Luo Haotian is uncomfortable, he is not worried! Five thousand people and horses, although there is not much grain and grass used, but for the current imperial court, for the emperor of Nanqing, such an expenditure is not very willing to pay. After all...... This Emperor of Nanqing, but he is bent on recovering Beiqing!
It is precisely for this reason that the imperial court transferred all the troops stationed in the local area to the frontier, and some people in the court proposed the method of "raising soldiers with officials" in an attempt to let the soldiers maintain local order. But what are the roles of the officials in these places? Handed over these soldiers to them, this is undoubtedly a sharp claw on them! This is also an important reason why the Nanqing officialdom is not easy to rectify - there are no troops in the locality, and if you want to rectify it, you can only transfer troops from outside, but the emperor is unwilling......
Therefore, Luo Haotian thought that the 5,000 troops were just for show at the beginning. After all, for the huge Jiangnan officialdom, 5,000 troops is really not enough. Without the support of grain and grass, these 5,000 men and horses will be taken back by the imperial court sooner or later!
However, what Luo Haotian didn't expect was that these 5,000 men and horses had been stationed outside the city for more than a month, but there was still no sign of being repatriated...... Their food and grass don't seem to be a problem at all! Therefore, Luo Haotian was a little worried: Could it be that the imperial court was really ruthless this time? But there are many signs that the emperor's heart is still on the recovery of Beiqing. is still indifferent to this Nanqing officialdom......
But worry is worry, but he Luo Haotian is not afraid! Because he has his own backer, it's a big deal, so he will tear his face and break the net with Dong Qingyun! Therefore, he has been watching Dong Qingyun closely. And when he saw Shi Yuan and Dong Qingyun coming together, he finally realized that something was wrong! So, he decided to unite the "backers" behind him and strike first! And the time to start is at this Jiangnan poetry meeting!
But even so, this Jiangnan Poetry Club still has to be done! If it is too obvious, then Dong Qingyun will naturally be suspicious. What's more, it's a great opportunity to make money! But the only trouble is that you need to handle this matter yourself......
Now, for Shi Yuan's automatic invitation, he is naturally happy in his heart! So, after Shi Yuan bluntly said that the relationship between the two was incompatible, he didn't get angry - just enough to free up his hands to plan his own big things! He had waited too long, too long for this day......
