Seeing off Su Mingkang and the others, Xia Nan passed by Dong Xiaowan's room with a little bit of alcohol, and went downstairs without stopping. He didn't know www.biquge.info that there was a pair of eyes in the room, silently watching his back.

Seeing him go downstairs, Sima De, who was waiting downstairs, asked with a smile: "What a drama of heroes saving beauty today!" At this moment, Dong Xiaowan should be grateful, why didn't the general strike while the iron was hot and take it in one fell swoop? ”

Xia Nan shook his head: "I just borrowed Dong Xiaowan's name, in fact, I just want to put on a good show for those old foxes, so that they can make up their minds as soon as possible - I must complete the sale of raw silk within three months and then rush back to Lingao, and I can't spend too much time here." Besides, Chang Wei's affairs need to be dealt with, and I don't have time to be here to be romantic. ”

When Sima De heard this, he knew that the general's intention was not to be jealous on the surface, so he said, "How is the business discussed?" ”

"It's going well, they've agreed. However, if you fight Chang Wei, there will definitely be hidden dangers, I have to make some preparations to deal with it, you gather people and follow me to the prefect's yamen - to deal with Chang Wei's kind of goods, black and white will cut off his back road. ”

Sima De is a native of Nanjing, so he naturally knows the influence of the eunuchs in the Nanzhili region, and said awe-inspiringly: "It is time to prepare early, so as not to leave future troubles." ”

In the study of the prefect's yamen.

"What? You actually beat Chang Kun's righteous son? ”

Chen Zhongsheng was surprised, Xia Nan looked calm, not like such an impulsive person!

"It's a long story, and I have a reason why I have to do it." Xia Nan explained, "Anyway, after beating him, the business with Suzhou Silk Company was immediately negotiated." As long as the next thing goes well, I will set off for Dongying, and then return directly to Qiongzhou, no matter how powerful the eunuch is, his hand will not be able to reach Guangdong. It's just that the volume of this transaction is very large, and it will take about ten days for the silk store to raise this batch of raw silk, and the only thing I am worried about is that Chang Wei will make trouble at this time. Before the delivery of the silk line, I hope that Futai can help, and don't let Chang Wei ruin my good deeds. ”

"This ......" Chen Zhongsheng hesitated a little. The Ming Dynasty has always been incompatible with civil officials and eunuchs, although as the prefect of Suzhou, he is not afraid of the eunuchs in Nanjing, but the relationship in the officialdom is intertwined, Chang Kun is behind the celebrant eunuch, and he is the emperor's domestic slave, maybe he can't help himself to say good things, but there is no problem with slander. If you offend this eunuch head-on, you will bury a great hidden danger for yourself.

Xia Nan saw his hesitation and continued: "If Chang Wei wants to take revenge on me, there are only three ways: first, go back to Nanjing to move the rescue troops; Second, ask for help from the nearest prefect's yamen, and third, gather his subordinates to attack me. When I clashed with him today, I had already crossed his bottom, and there were only a few relatives with him, and it was not my opponent at all, so the third way didn't work. The first road is also very troublesome, from Suzhou to Nanjing, even if you go back and forth by water, it will take ten days and half a month, and there is no reason to persuade Eunuch Chang to make a move - I pretend to do it for the sake of the prostitute to be jealous, presumably Eunuch Chang will not attack for such a trivial matter. So he was left with the second way, to ask you for help......"

Chen Zhongsheng couldn't help but nod again and again: "The analysis is good, a gentleman who doesn't learn and has no skills, there are just a few ways." ”

"Even if Chang Wei asks for help from Futai, it is not right. He is just the godson of the eunuch who can't be on the stage, what reason is there for the government to take action? Although there is no need to offend the villain, it is inconvenient to refuse, so it is possible to make a 'drag' word, ostensibly promising him to interfere in this matter, but in fact ignoring it. As long as I pack up the raw silk and go to sea, this matter will be over. After Xia Nan finished analyzing, he sacrificed a big killing weapon, "If Futai is willing to help, his subordinates will always have expenses, and I am willing to give two thousand taels of silver as their carriage and horse expenses and tea money." ”

Chen Zhongsheng's eyes lit up, although the other party said that the two thousand taels were for the carriage and horse expenses and tea money for his subordinates, but it was actually in his own pocket. A bribe of a full 2,000 taels, such a big hand is not common in Suzhou. Although Chen Zhongsheng, who is the prefect of Suzhou, has a lot of income and is not a person who is short of money, who would be afraid of having a lot of silver? What's more, the other party's analysis is clear, he only needs a "drag" trick to deal with Chang Wei, and he doesn't need to offend people, he can get three thousand taels, and he also formed a good relationship with Mu Tianyan and Xie Sanbin behind Xia Nan, killing two birds with one stone.

After weighing the pros and cons, he quickly made up his mind and blamed: "I said that this government regards you as a nephew, and the eunuchs want to trouble you, how can this government sit idly by?" Everyone is their own people, and when they mention money, they will see the outside. ”

Xia Nan was secretly happy in his heart, which blocked Chang Wei's road, and it didn't hurt to toss him as much as he wanted. Just one bribe gave out more than one million yuan, which made him speechless, the cost of bribery in ancient times was really not low.

Returning to the inn non-stop, Xia Nan immediately called Lin Weiye.

"How much cargo can a clipper ship?"

Lin Weiye replied: "The maximum load capacity is close to half of the displacement, and the 500-ton displacement of the 'Yangming' can theoretically carry 250 tons of goods, but excluding the necessary weight of the facilities, it is only about 200 tons of load, which is not counting the crew." Counting the dozens of us, we have taken up a lot of cabins, and it is estimated that we can load more than 100 tons of goods. ”

In the summer, Nanmo calculated: he brought 600,000 taels of silver, and bought raw silk at a higher price, ordinary ones could buy 700,000 taels, and good lake silk could buy 500,000 taels. Of course, the silk delivery is ordinary raw silk and lake silk, conservatively calculated according to 500,000, then there are about 250 tons, a clipper can not fit in any case, fortunately I took this into account when talking about business.

"I didn't expect to be able to talk about it so smoothly, so we only came to a flying clipping boat, and five or six hundred thousand catties of raw silk will definitely not be able to fit, so ask Murong Longcheng to return to Lingao with the 'Yangming', and then bring the 'Maria' together, and the two ships can be loaded."

Lin Weiye did not participate in the negotiation of "Leyun Building", did not understand the details, and asked: "It will take about ten days to come and go this time, can you catch up?" ”

"No problem, a delivery of hundreds of thousands of catties of raw silk for these silk shops is also an unprecedented large-scale, the inventory in their hands is not enough, but also to temporarily purchase from the countryside, it will take about ten days, just right."

In the summer, the efficiency of the south side is very high, everything is properly arranged, and Chang Wei is sulking in the prefect's yamen.
