Chapter 569: The Undercurrent Under the Prosperity (1)

Once at Guo Youwei's birthday banquet, that is, after the "transparent glass" exhibition, Brother Shi once "lied" a sum of money to Guo Renjie. This money, he originally wanted to use it to build a school and develop a hundred industries. But then I heard about the Lin family's affairs in Yangzhou, so the plan was shelved......

But Brother Shi has never forgotten this matter, and with his understanding of the situation in Liangqing, he began to re-plan this matter in his heart. He had been waiting for a suitable opportunity, and now, he felt that the opportunity was ripe, so he proposed this matter to Guo Renjie again.

It's been a while in between, Guo Renjie just took it as Shi Yuan's joke at the time, and now when he heard Shi Yuan talk about it, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Academy?" Brother Shi, do you really want to do this? So when are you going to do it? ”

"If you want to make changes in this world, this academy must be done! As for when...... It won't be too far, just wait for the time when Jinling City changes hands! ”

Brother Shi turned to look at the Qinhuai River, those women in the Qinglou who were showing off their flowers and branches, and said to themselves meaningfully. Although Guo Renjie didn't understand, he also pretended to nod......

In the past four days, the most open and talked about in Jinling City is the various things of the "New Poetry Society" and the "Jiangnan Poetry Society". This was originally a matter of scholars in the world, but now after Shi Yuan's trouble, it seems to have become a grand event in Jinling. No matter what profession or profession, the literate are illiterate, the big and the small...... They all like to join in the "100-person ring" by the Qinhuai River or the registration office of the poetry club.

Of course, although no one has said anything about the "New Poetry Club" and the "Jiangnan Poetry Society" that Brother Shi has engaged in, people with a heart are secretly watching his movements. And the only one who doesn't care about this matter at all is the Jin family of the four major families in Jinling......

The Jin family, since they tore their faces with the Lin family, was put on a table by Shi Yuan using the newly built "Lin's Stationery Factory". This time, he instructed Li San to blow up the Lin family's new paper mill, thinking of killing two birds with one stone, so that Li San would die without proof, but Shi Yuan dragged him into the water...... The eldest young master of the Jin family, Jin Xijie, was also imprisoned in the prison of the prefect's mansion by Luo Haotian, the king of Yama in Jinling.

Jin Feng has also exhausted all methods these days, and he has not given less money to Luo Haotian, and he has found a lot of relationships...... But Luo Haotian, the lord of Jinling, he just didn't let go this time! Of course, he wanted to loosen his mouth and release Jin Sijie, but he couldn't give Jin Sijie's corpse, right?

Jin Feng didn't know that his eldest son Jin Xijie was dead, and thought that Luo Haotian was afraid of the lack of money. Gritting his teeth, he sold a few more workshops, scraped together a large sum of silver, and wanted to send it to Luo Haotian again......

But this time, Luo Haotian, the prefect of Jinlin, who has always regarded money as his life and did not refuse to come, did not accept his money! It's not that he doesn't love money anymore, or that he feels that it is missing...... Instead, the money Jin Feng gave this time was a little too much!

If it was the previous "small money", he would have accepted it, but in the face of Jin Feng's iron-hearted "ransom" to bail out his son, he was willing but powerless......

It turned out that the purpose of collecting money was to make Jin Feng, the head of the Jin family, feel relieved, to avoid any suspicion, for fear of provoking the other party, so as to do something extreme and affect Jinling's action this time. But if you accept this money now, if you don't explain it, it will be counterproductive!

"Brother Jin, you see that there are a lot of things going on in Jinling City, and the Jiangnan Poetry Club is about to be held, and I, the prefect of Jinling, have to worry a lot...... The matter of your son, it is better to wait for this period to be busy, you and I will discuss! This money...... You'd better take it back for now! Don't worry, your son is definitely eating well and living well in my place......"

Jin Feng was also helpless, so he could only get the money back home. It stands to reason that he has given a lot of money, and Luo Haotian has received everything he should have received...... But until now, he just hasn't seen his son.

If you don't let it go, you can't let it go, but it should be okay to see it yourself, right? What's more, Luo Haotian has already collected so much money from himself...... But he didn't see it!

Every time he mentioned this matter, Luo Haotian would always refuse with various words, and he was very helpless. But he never thought that his son had died in prison...... It's just that Luo Haotian has something inconvenient for him to see.

After all, he is an official, he is just a businessman, not to mention that the situation is not stable at all now, how dare he bother with Luo Haotian about this matter?

Having said that, Luo Haotian can afford it, but he and the Jin family can't afford it!

Originally, I wanted to destroy the Lin family's new paper mill, so the Lin family would give those academies and the government unable to hand over the monthly goods, but who would have thought about it...... Something happened! Some days have passed, and the Lin family's business has not been affected, and even because of the launch of new paper, it has become even more popular. On the contrary, it was his family's business that was greatly affected.

Although the Lin family's new paper mill is destroyed, there is a lot of inventory! The new paper is now circulating in the market. Not only is it much better than the previous paper, but the key is that the price is also much lower......

Although the Lin family doesn't know what the reason is that they haven't vigorously promoted this new paper, there are many original customers in their own family, but they have already begun to secretly go to the Lin family......

If you want to reconcile with the Lin family now, it is absolutely impossible! Not to mention the things he did to the Lin family, just spending so much money to buy all the paper mill industries of the Lin family in Yangzhou cannot be solved in two or three sentences.

Buying all the paper mill industries of the Lin family in Yangzhou was originally intended to cut off the Lin family's life, but now, it was smashed into his own hands......

Although the Lin family did not stumble on these paper mills, even the craftsmen in all the paper mills have basically not changed, and the paper mills can operate normally...... Who can he buy the paper to?

A new paper mill in Jinling, the Lin family, can supply all the supplies. This was exactly what he expected, but it was completely different!

So, I had no choice but to stop these paper mills, thinking about starting to clean up the Lin family.

At first, it was fine, but I saw that the time for the monthly payment to the craftsmen was getting closer and closer. If it continues like this, this huge Jin family will really be finished...... But on the contrary, Jin Sijie was arrested by Luo Haotian, and now there is no one who can discuss this matter with him......
