Chapter 182: Addicted to money like life
The next morning, he finally arrived in the capital. Ye Chunqiu thought about his wife and children at home, so he asked the groom to drive the carriage directly back to Ye's mansion.
When I returned to the mansion, I just entered the mansion and saw Ye Song waiting here again.
But this time, Ye Song's face was not very good-looking, but his uncle and nephew had already had a tacit understanding. He went to the flower hall in the backyard without saying a word. Ye Song lowered his voice and said, "What might be wrong?"
"Hmm?" Ye Chunqiu looked at Ye Song without hesitation, but there was a little suspicion in his eyes.
Ye Song said: "Ningbo is very strange. How can I say it? Let's not talk about these for now. Someone deliberately told me about it, saying that it was... Japanese pirates from overseas are gathering, and even Japan has begun to have abnormal movements. Some people have already gone to Japan in Huating, and it is said that they are going to pay homage to a large business in Edo."
Ye Song licked his mouth, his eyes were gloomy, and he said in a deep voice: "This big business is different from our Ming Dynasty merchants. This person's ability is vast. Not only is he closely related to the shogunate, but he also sponsored many Japanese daimyos. In Edo, he is one of the best people. Now the princes of Japan are competing for hegemony, and many princes are flattering this person, and this person secretly delivers food and military expenses to them. Judging from this meaning, they are planning to..."
Ye Chunqiu said, "The person who conveyed the message to you deliberately gave this message to Uncle Er on his own?"
"Yes." Ye Song said seriously: "I doubt this. In theory, where did this person get such accurate news? In my opinion, this should have been deliberately instructed by someone to tell me that I cannot guarantee whether the news is true or false, but that's true."
Ye Chunqiu pondered: "It should be true news."
Ye Song looked at Ye Chunqiu in confusion.
Ye Chunqiu continued: "The question is, why do they release this news? It looks like they are threatening, and it seems that some people can't sit still."
Ye Song looked at Ye Chunqiu, but he couldn't interrupt him.
Ye Chunqiu said again: "Have you found out the person behind Lu Wenjie?"
Ye Song said: "It's strange that Lu Wenjie met many people, and the banquet was just three to five days, but he didn't see any person behind it."
Ye Chunqiu thought for a while and said, "Then I understand. To know who the person behind Lu Wenjie is, it seems that it will take some effort. Only by finding this person will it be much easier to do."
Then, he frowned, silent, as if he was thinking about something.
Ye Song didn't dare to disturb him, so he carefully retreated.
Ye Chunqiu stayed with his wife and children at home for one day, and the next day he had to return to Zhenguo Mansion. In his opinion, he had to block all the storms outside so that his wife and children whom he cared about could live a stable life at home.
When he returned to Zhenguo Mansion, he gathered shareholders without stopping and submitted the proposal to continue to inject capital into the navy. The shareholders were immediately in an uproar.
Many shareholders are not in the capital, or they cannot come to Zhenguo Mansion at any time, so many so-called "shareholders" are the heads of each family.
However, when they heard the news, the officials were amazed, but they did not dare to express their opinions.
However, the Hou of Shouning and Jianchangbo came the most diligently. They stayed at Zhenguo Mansion almost day and night, guarding their three-point land all the time, and were not at ease with anyone. When they saw this report, Zhang Heling suddenly turned his claws and blushed to his ears, and said angrily: "This... how can this be? How can this be? How can this be? It's so irrational, irrational..."
Ye Chunqiu comforted him with an innocent look on his face and said, "Shouning Hou calms down, you know that the Zhenguo Mansion has already spent a lot of money on Qinhuangdao, right?"
"Yes, but after spending so much money, do you have to continue spending money?" Zhang Heling crossed his hands and asked fiercely.
Ye Chunqiu sighed and said, "That's right. I have spent so much money now, but as such, there will always be someone who secretly destroys it. Wouldn't our money be smashed into the water?"
Zhang Heling suddenly became silent. Now he was in pain in the money he had smashed into at first.
Ye Chunqiu continued: "If you don't spend money and add a budget, if there is any trouble in Qinhuangdao, it will be equivalent to the fact that all the money you had before was wasted. This is hundreds of thousands of taels. Now you spend 300,000 yuan to build Qinhuangdao and build a navy. Only by ensuring that you won't lose money; but if you give up halfway, the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver will be gone. Where can you go, don't you know?"
Zhang Heling was stunned, then his eyes showed fierce light, and he pounded the table hard and said, "Who dared to ruin the affairs of our Zhenguo Mansion?"
Ye Chunqiu showed a smile on his face, just looking at him.
Zhang Heling was obviously really angry. He thought that someone was doing sabotage in Qinhuangdao, which had nothing to do with him. Now, when he thought about it, the Zhenguo Mansion would have to add a budget as soon as he was sabotaged. There are a lot of his own money in this budget. Today is 300,000, and tomorrow?
Taking money is like killing parents, let alone the Zhang brothers are used to being arrogant and domineering, so how can they bear this anger?
"Come on. I'll tell you." Ye Chunqiu still looked at Zhang Heling with a smile.
Zhang Heling had to come to his ears, and Ye Chunqiu whispered: "Lu Wenjie, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, can Shouning Hou recognize it?"
Zhang Heling looked at Ye Chunqiu suspiciously and said, "I don't recognize him, but... has something to do with him?"
Ye Chunqiu sighed and said, "He is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, how dare I offend this? What... forget it..."
"Let's go!" Zhang Heling said coldly with red eyes: "Tell me clearly, take it seriously... it's him? How did you know?"
Ye Chunqiu shook his head and waved his hand and said, "Forget it, this matter should be over here. Let's talk about any problems in the future."
If there is any problem, I’m afraid that it will not be said at that time, but it will be a waste of money again!
Zhang Heling became even more anxious and stared at Ye Chunqiu, wanting to continue asking questions, but the conversation between the two had long been heard by Jianchang Bo.
Before Zhang Heling could say anything, Zhang Yanling suddenly screamed: "It's a bitch, this is not a way out."
He shouted violently, and the blue veins burst out on his forehead, saying, "They dare to provoke Zhenguo Mansion? If they don't deal with a few, they don't know how powerful we are. Brother, what else do you want to ask? Chunqiu doesn't dare, what do we dare?"
When Ye Chunqiu saw Zhang Yanling, who was usually timid, he looked like he was going to kill someone. He couldn't help but shake his head. It was still the power of money. This Jianchang Bo is really addicted to money as much as his life.
Ye Chunqiu hurriedly said, "No, no, I just said nonsense, this matter... I still need to be discussed for a long time, let alone the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, don't be excited, who fell the grenade on this ground..."
