Chapter 175 - Fire and Water

Soon, the large and small silk merchants were divided into two factions, "foreign silk" and "native silk", and the "foreign silk faction" took Hu Xueyan as the leader to support the establishment of a new silk reeling factory; The "Tusi faction" regards the new silk reeling factory as a flood beast, and the representative figure is a big silk merchant surnamed Weng in Huzhou, Xing Er, known as "Mr. Weng Er". Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info So, led by "Mr. Hu Da" on one side and led by "Mr. Weng Er" on the other, you came and went on both sides and started the ring.

The "Tusi faction" is dominated by small and medium-sized silk merchants, and the "public opinion" of the vast number of silkworm raisers, but the number of people is overwhelming, and the gift is handed into the government and county yamen, and the master of the "household house" clearly "hints" that the construction of a new silk reeling factory is actually "the meaning of the province", and it is not the turn of the government and the county to speak.

Yes? What does it mean? You mean, Zhao Zhitai, Liu Futai? ……

yes, yes!

Belch......

If the local road doesn't work, then "Beijing Control"!

For example, the top two of the three Han military aircraft are Cao Zhuoru, who is from Jiangsu, Jiangsu, and Xu Xingshu is from Hangzhou, Zhejiang.

However, it is very strange that in the matter of the new-style silk reeling factory, the Beijing officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, from the big military aircraft to the Hanzhan Kedao, have a very ambiguous attitude, and a common saying is that whether it is "foreign silk" or "soil silk", they are all villagers, which side do you want us to stand on?

The path of "Jingkong" has stumbled, and some people say, simply, directly to Prince Xuan! You see, Prince Xuan is actually half of the "son-in-law of Jiangsu and Zhejiang", Hu Bian Fujin is from Hangzhou, Yang Side Fujin is from Jiangyin, and he can't care about the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!

yes, yes! It's really a coincidence that Cao Dajunji and Yang Fang Fujin are fellow villagers, Xu Dajun Ji and Hu Fang Fujin are fellow villagers, Prince Xuan's "left and right hands" and "people around him" are all from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he really can't care about the affairs of Jiangsu and Zhejiang!! What brains do you have? Can Prince Xuan help us? He doesn't pull the bias, thank goodness! You don't want to think about it, what is the relationship between Hu Fang Fujin and Mrs. Luo Si? Sisters! Back then, Hu Bian Fujin got married, and the sedan chair was carried out from Yuanbao Street! Seriously, the Hu family is half of her mother's family, and Mr. Hu is her godbrother-in-law!

Belch......

At this time, the "Tusi" did not know that even if there was no relationship between Hubian Fujin and Mrs. Luo Si, Prince Shangshuxuan was also a new silk reeling factory with Humou skin, which was simply the head and tail of Prince Xuan himself, without his coercion and temptation, Mr. Hu Da would not have made this "foreign silk" at all.

Some people also say that since the dispute between "soil silk" and "foreign silk" is a Beijing official from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who "makes housework" in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, isn't it because of this that they don't know "which side to stand on"? So, let's find an "outsider" who has a deep relationship with Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and has enough weight to evaluate, if so, it is justified!

Makes sense, makes sense!

The so-called "'outsiders' who have a deep relationship with Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and have sufficient weight", pull and pull, pull and pull, in addition to Prince Xuan, there are about three Zeng Disheng, Li Shaoquan, and Zuo Jigao.

Jiangsu, half of which was recovered by the Hunan army, and half by the Xuan army and the Huai army; Zhejiang, on the other hand, was recovered by the Chu army of Zuo Jigao.

Zuo Jigao is gnawing sand in Xinjiang, thousands of miles away, and it is impossible for him to have a superfluous spiritual head to take care of the disputes over "soil silk" and "foreign silk", so there is no need to mention it.

What about Senior Brother Zeng Li?

Li Shaoquan, looking at his personality and observing his political opinions, it really doesn't look like he will support "Tusi", even if he speaks out, he is **, he is also speaking for "Yangsi", so don't provoke this gentleman.

Zeng Disheng......

Well, this one is reliable!

Someone dug out an article written by Zeng Guofan during the "Great Railway Debate", which said, "Along the line, the waterway is used by boat, the land route is driven, and the villages, hotels, and peddlers are the living, I don't know how many? As soon as the railway opened, the shops along the way, the people who served the people, and the mules and horses that carried them were all closed! The small people are poor and helpless, forced to hang upside down, and they do not flow and become thieves! The railroad is an official who returns to the benefit of the poor people in the world! ”

Zeng Disheng was clearly opposed to the construction of the railway, and the reason he held was almost exactly the same as our opposition to the establishment of a new silk reeling factory.

Zeng Disheng is the first assistant, the "first governor of the world", and a person with great merits, if he is willing to come forward and speak for "Tusi", the "top" cannot be regarded as inaudible in any case!

Uh, Zeng Disheng...... Did it work? Zeng Disheng also opposed the construction of the railway, but in the end, it was repaired......

That's different! The railway is "on top" to be repaired! It's a matter of the imperial court! It is ...... "important weapon of the country"! To repair the railway, Guan San and Gong Liu are all angry, and the queen mother of the two palaces supports them one-sidedly, Zeng Disheng naturally can't twist his arms and thighs! How can a few silk reeling factories in different parts of "foreign silk" be compared with the railway? That's just a trick that Hu Guangyong and a few of them tossed out! Whether it is "Shichanglong" or "Jichanglun", there are no official shares in it!

Well, whether it's Jiangsu or Zhejiang, the "province" all supports the surname Hu......

And how? Zuo is just Hu Guangyong, they made money!

Got money? Well, Zhao Zhitai and Liu Futai don't look like people who collect money......

How do you know if they take money or not? Have you checked the accounts of the Governor of Liangjiang and the Governor of Zhejiang? Besides, even if Zhao Zhitai and Liu Futai don't collect money, what about the people below? What about the staff? , whether they collect money or not, compared with Zeng Zhongtang, the two of them can only be regarded as "arms"! If Zeng Zhongtang speaks out for "Tusi", the arrogance of "Yangsi", no matter what, will be greatly troubled!

Also...... Then give it a try!

Zeng Guofan in Liangjiang old innumerable, Zhejiang don't go to say, Jiangsu, find to be able to talk to Zeng Zhongtang, it is not difficult, the "Tusi faction" made up a very generous amount of "public funds", Zeng Guofan received one after another Liangjiang old letters, all of which reprimanded the new silk reeling factory, euphemistically, referring to the new silk reeling factory "competing with the people for profit", a little more intense, reprimanding the new silk reeling factory for "forcing the people to hang upside down", alarmist, just say "the long past, I am afraid there are unbearable things", these have been explained before.

However, some of these letters were not replied to by Zeng Guofan; Those who replied to the letter were also incomprehensible, and there was no clear statement about the dispute between "soil silk" and "foreign silk". For the old people's request, what did Zeng Zhongtang mean, everyone was quite confused.

In addition, although the road of "Beijing control" did not go well, it did not stop, and there were actually not a few Beijing officials from Jiangsu and Zhejiang who sympathized with the "Tusi faction"; round after round of "Bing Jing" and "Tan Jing" were sent down, and finally a few expressed their willingness to "reconcile the dispute between the land and the foreign country and say a few fair words."

At the same time, Zeng Guofan, in addition to writing a letter, the "Tusi faction" hopes that someone can "ask for peace to Zhongtang" in person, and "ask for peace in front of Chen", at least, we have to figure out whether Zeng Disheng is willing to help with this?

Zeng Guofan was edicted to enter Beijing, and the "Tusi faction" thought that it was an excellent opportunity, if he could say that Zeng Zhongtang, when His Majesty saw it, intentionally or unintentionally, he threw out such a sentence and a half sentence of disdain to the "foreign silk", even if he could not immediately "shake the heavens", the "Tusi faction" could also make a big fuss, and the pressure of the "foreign silk faction" would suddenly increase greatly!

This is why there are constantly Beijing officials from Liangjiang who visit Xianliang Temple, saying that "Liangjiang has benefited from the middle hall deeply, and has been entrusted by the gentry of Xiangzi to come to greet and live".

It's just that they didn't expect that no matter who asked to see them, the door of Xianliang Temple would be in the way; The officials from Liangjiang who "came to greet and live" were especially polite, and said, "The prime minister is straight, if the gentry of Zhili have a request, after the enthronement ceremony, maybe they can't be seen, but what is the matter with the Liangjiang Guanjue?" My lord, please go back, even after the enthronement ceremony, you don't have to work anymore, and the prime minister will not meet. ”

The "Tusi faction" was in ashes, and they didn't expect that Zeng Guofan at this time was no longer Zeng Guofan at the time of the "Railway Debate".
