Summary of the previous chapter: Ma Xiaoquan handed over the management of the copper mine to Ma Tong, and he led Hua Yue to another destination to take over the salt transportation

++++++++++++++++++++

On this day, Ma Xiaoquan was dealing with salt transportation affairs, and a subordinate suddenly came to report in a hurry, saying that the workers carrying the salt bags had started fighting.

Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his head, this kind of thing happens from time to time among workers, and it happens for various reasons, not to carry a few more salt bags to make more money, or to grab an extra piece of meat In short, some things that seem small will be magnified into big events here by the porters.

And what makes Ma Xiao's head big is that every time he goes to mediate trouble, a foreman will come out to stop him, and then "force" him to pay for the money and let them solve it themselves.

"Okay, I know, you go down~" Ma Xiaoquan waved his hand at the subordinate.

The subordinate didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, but raised his head and looked at Ma Xiaoquan, as if he still had something to say.

"What, what's the matter?"

The subordinate suddenly smiled and said, "My lord, the little one dares to say a word, I wonder if you can temporarily stop the work in your hand and listen to the little one?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan pursed his lips and said patiently: "Say it~"

"Eh~" The subordinate nodded and said, "My lord, you have been here with our Cao Gang for more than three months, right?" ”

"Well, yes, what's wrong?"

"Hehe, my lord, you have also seen that our Cao gang is divided into several factions, and there are two of them, which are relatively powerful, and they always don't look at each other."

Ma Xiaoquan raised his eyes and rolled the man, and interrupted: "What are you going to say?" ”

"Hehe~~" The man rubbed his hands and said, "My lord, in fact, if we help us solve this matter, it will be very easy to solve, as long as you pay a little money, turn a blind eye, it should be fine soon~"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, he understood that after a long time, this person is one of the two major factions in the Cao Gang.

"That's it, okay, money, go back to your boss and say, I can pay for the money, but I have to investigate the matter, if there is something to hide, I won't give the money~"

When the subordinate heard the great joy, he hurriedly bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Don't worry, my lord, the little one will go back to report, my lord, if there is nothing wrong, the little one will leave~~"

"Slow down~" Ma Xiaoquan stopped the subordinate, "Which faction are you?" ”

The next man smiled: "This little one can't be said, adult, the little one retires~"

"You!" Ma Xiaoquan shook his fingers angrily, watching the man leave proudly

Hua Yue walked in, saw Ma Xiaoquan's gloomy face, stepped forward and gently helped Ma Xiaoquan massage his shoulders, and asked, "Are the workers making trouble again?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan hummed softly.

"Hmm, this matter is really difficult to solve, Ma Xiaoquan, I heard that the two major factions in this Cao gang are secretly controlled by the people of the imperial court~"

Ma Xiaoquan nodded: "I know this, so after these few months, I have been enduring it, and now I know that the person in charge of this salt transportation has been changing, so I said, as soon as I came, why did I take over so smoothly, and it took over for a long time, and the previous ones were not satisfactory." ”

"Yes, your predecessor fled because he couldn't stand the oppression of the two major factions of the Cao Gang~"

Ma Xiaoquan sneered: "I knew that Wei Zhongxian's dog's day thing didn't have any good intentions, I'm still a little simple~"

Hua Yue smiled: "No, no matter what, we still have a lot of income in the three months we have been in Yanyun~"

"Well, that's true, but I don't feel comfortable when I always watch someone pluck their hair in front of you~"

Hua Yue said: "Then if you eat meat, there will always be people who drink soup, you make a lot of money, they make a little money, this is also a matter of course~"

"Big money? Money? Ma Xiaoquan shook his head with a wry smile, picked up a ledger and handed it to Hua Yue.

Hua Yuehu took the account book suspiciously and looked through it roughly.

"We're the ones who make a little money?" Hua Yue looked incredulous.

Ma Xiaoquan said with a smile: "So I said, the two major factions of this Cao Gang are a bit ruthless, and Yue'er, don't you see that there have been a lot of troubles among workers recently." ”

Hua Yue nodded: "Yes, when I first came in, I saw a subordinate walking out of your study, and his smug expression was like eating honey." ”

Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his face and sighed: "So the two factions in this Cao Gang, I must solve them~"

Hua Yue shook his head: "It's not easy to talk about, I heard that one of the factions is related to Wei Zhongxian, and the other faction is related to Lu Zhan~"

"Damn, Wei Zhongxian, Lu Zhan, these two dog-day things are ghostly~" Ma Xiao slapped the table with pride, and when he heard a "bang", the table shattered.

"Uh~~" smashed the table, and Ma Xiaoquan realized that he had just used the gravity super.

Hua Yue didn't care too much, after all, since Ma Xiaoquan took over Yanyun, this was the fifth table he had smashed.

"By the way, Ma Xiaoquan, I have some information here, I'll show you~"

Ma Xiaoquan was not in a good mood, and he didn't bother to watch it, so he directly asked Hua Yue to tell him.

Hua Yue nodded and said slowly: "Although Wei Zhongxian and Lu Zhan are harmonious in the court, but in private, the two of them still have a secret fight with each other, when you didn't come, the two factions in this Cao gang competed fiercely, and one didn't let the other, but since you came, they have stopped, because the Ma family behind you is their common enemy!" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, Hua Yue's analysis was right, he robbed Wei Zhongxian of the right to copper mines and salt transportation, and the other party naturally wanted to fight him endlessly, and Lu Zhan, their Lu family and the Ma family were originally feuding, so he had more reason to entangle with Ma Xiaoquan and even the Ma family to the end.

At present, because of the "Zhurong Holy Maiden" [official title] Li Qinghan in Beijing City, Wei Zhongxian and Lu Zhan dare not do anything, but Ma Xiaoquan is different, he is not in Beijing now, and he also made a false appearance and sent a stand-in to Ningyuan, so Wei Zhongxian and Lu Zhan mistakenly thought that he was far away, so they naturally thought about dealing with the people of the Ma family.

Because of the fact that there are horses in the same place, Wei Zhongxian can't afford to make any waves for the time being, and the matter has come to this point, so he naturally wants to put the power of making trouble on the salt transportation, even if he can't regain the right to salt transportation, he will turn the world upside down.

As for Lu Zhan, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, for the sake of interests, he is naturally willing to join forces with Wei Zhongxian temporarily, and wait for the Yanyun side to make trouble.

Ma Xiaoquan rubbed his head and asked Hua Yue: "Yue'er, then what do you say I should do?" Just waiting to be killed? Just let them siphon off my fair share of money again and again? ”

Hua Yue shook his head: "Of course not, the salt transportation is controlled by the state, how can it casually enter the pockets of private individuals?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan smiled: "Yue'er, you say this, as if the money from this salt transport has not entered the pockets of you and me~"

Hua Yue laughed: "That's different, you are the chief manager of this salt transport, you don't take much money, it doesn't make sense to be reasonable?" ”

"Well, yes, but is there any way to solve these two factions of the Cao Gang?"

Hua Yue pondered for a moment and asked Ma Xiaoquan: "Ma Xiaoquan, when you were in the Han Dynasty in the past, did you know about the battle between our Hua family?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan thought for a moment and nodded: "Yes, the dispute between the Hua family's duties was once very serious, but after I left, I don't know what the situation is?" ”

Hua Yue said: "According to the family historical records, after the head of the family retired overnight, he gave the position of the head of the family to his son, but unfortunately, the tiger father has no dog, and his son is not as good as him, so after more than ten years, the person who separated the family took over the affairs of the entire Hua family." ”

"Separation?" Ma Xiaoquan asked rhetorically, "Then who is in charge, oh, it can also be said that the head of the family is in charge of the family's affairs?" ”

"Well, it's Hua Wuxin!"

"Flower heartless? Ha" Ma Xiaoquan patted his head, "No wonder, if it was him, I wouldn't be surprised~"

Hua Yue was curious: "What, do you know him?" ”

Ma Xiaoquan nodded, and retold to Hua Yue that Hua Wuxin had to ask him for advice at the Ma family, and after listening to Ma Xiaoquan's retelling, Hua Yue shook his head and said: "I see, no wonder~"

Ma Xiaoquan snorted: "But Hua Wuxin's kid can control the two divisions of your Hua family, which can be regarded as a reflection of his ability, and now your Hua family has no more duty disputes, right?" ”

Hua Yue nodded: "No~"

"Well, in this way, it can be regarded as a good thing that my Ma Xiaoquan did at the beginning, haha~~"

Hua Yue gently tapped Ma Xiaoquan's head and said, "I'm really not ashamed, I'm not modest at all~"

Ma Xiaoquan smiled, scratched his head, and asked, "Yue'er, what are you going to say?" ”

Hua Yue said: "My Hua family has existed since the Han Dynasty, it has been more than 1,000 years, and for more than 1,000 years, my Hua family has been adhering to a tradition ~ that is, you can fight inwardly, but you will never kill them all~"

Ma Xiaoquan understood and asked, "You mean, let me find a way to instigate from the two factions of the Cao Gang, and then let the two factions continue to discord?" ”

Hua Yue nodded: "Although it is a bit despicable, since ancient times, the change of dynasties has mostly been caused by infighting~"

Ma Xiaoquan sighed, Hua Yue can say the cancer of Chinese history for a while, it is really powerful, indeed, the Chinese nation has been up and down for 5,000 years, basically the change of dynasties caused by internal strife accounts for 90 percent, and the rest is also the reason for the miscellaneous.
