In three days, when the governor arrives in Yangzhou City, he will be able to mobilize his troops and generals, and he will no longer be afraid of hundreds of Suzhou people!"

Under the existing bureaucratic mechanism, the prefecture and county yamen could not do much to deal with Lin Tailai, and the Yanzheng yamen had no power to manage civil matters.

Therefore, the only hope is to have a governor who manages both the military and civilian affairs and has sufficient power to deploy troops.

However, Wang Yuanwai was a little doubtful: "Can the governor be able to control Lin Tailai?

According to the information I have heard, Lin Tailai has a close relationship with Mr. Chief Assistant!"

Zheng Zhiyan said angrily: "If I am just a friend of the Chief Assistant Young Master and can show off my power and ask for anything, that would be a bad start!

In the future, if others follow my example, the difficulties I will face will not be just one or two!"

As a businessman, Wang Yuanwai admitted that Zheng Zhiyan's concerns were reasonable, but that was not how things were done.

After thinking about it, I could only advise: "Think twice before you act."

Zheng Zhiyan was worried that Wang Yuanwai would lose confidence in him, which would have negative consequences.

Anyone involved in business knows that confidence is more important than gold.

So Zheng Yuanwai explained: "Even the emperor cannot touch every corner of the world, let alone the chief minister?

Moreover, the governor of Jiangbei, Yang Junmin, who came this time was not an ordinary person. He was a fellow villager of Zhang Siwei, the original chief assistant. His father was Yang Bo, the Minister of War during the Jiajing Longqing Dynasty. He could be said to be a nobleman from an aristocratic family!

This governor himself is a representative of the Shanxi and Shaanxi forces in the northwest, and he is definitely not in the same camp as Shen Shoufu.

Moreover, the governor was born into a wealthy family and had many connections, so he had no qualms about applying for the title of first assistant.

I heard that Governor Yang was just gilding his seniority. Zhang Siwei recommended him to the emperor before his death, and he would be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the next step.

The most important thing is that Governor Yang’s family is also engaged in business and is relatively friendly to us businessmen, and we have many descendants of Western merchants in Yangzhou, so we are very interested in cooperation.”

Wang Yuanwai still sighed. For some reason, he remembered Lin Tailai's confident smile and all kinds of weird tricks.

Didn't Lin Tailai know in advance that Governor Yang was coming? If a top-level sophisticated person like Lin Tailai dared to cause trouble, it means he was still able to do it with ease.

The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Wang Yuanwai persuaded again: "My opinion is that I advise you to make peace with Lin Tailai and stop thinking about fighting.

If you don't mind, I can be a middleman and try my best to connect you.

For example, giving Bai Huakui to Lin Tailai can block Lin Tailai's mouth regardless of whether she is useful or not.

After all, Lin Tailai came to Yangzhou City to cause trouble under the guise of following the oiran."

If he hadn't wanted to borrow someone from Wang Yuanwai, Zheng Zhiyan would have said "poof" on the spot.

Is it possible to make peace with Lin Tailai only by surrendering and making compensation?

Finally, Zheng Yuanwai gritted his teeth and said, "Don't I, the richest man in Yangzhou, have no respect for face?"

Wang Yuanwai strongly disagreed with Zheng Yuanwai's words. If a businessman insists on saving face, he would be crazy.

It can only be said that Zheng Zhiyan, who is a few years younger than himself, inherited his family fortune and has no experience of starting from scratch, so he lacks a bit of "forbearance".

Having said this, Wang Yuanwai stopped persuading him.

Some people say too much, which can lead to rebelliousness and even lead to suspicion.

After Zheng Zhiyan drank a few glasses of wine, he felt much better and patted the table and said:

"In three days, I will hold the first gathering at Pingshan Hall after the reconstruction!

By then, I will invite Governor Yang to the gathering as one of the judges!

I have also sent people to invite the prince, the leader of the literary world in Taicang Prefecture, and we must make the Pingshan Hall Gathering a grand event!"

Wang Yuanwai only felt a pain in his balls. Even though he was well-informed, he couldn't tell which way the wind was blowing.

It is difficult to speculate if you cannot predict the direction of the wind, which is really painful for businessmen.
