Tang Shuijian is an honest and kind person. When he heard Wu Menghui ask, he said the truth: "Old Wu, what's going on with you? You still don't understand? Everyone is so chaotic, isn't it because they are afraid!"

"Fear?"

Wu Menghui didn't understand the meaning of Tang Shuijian's words: "Do they need to be afraid?"

He knew that the people who hold this kind of claim are not the people in the Tang Family Guild Hall. Many of the staff in their store also hold the idea of ​​slandering the people and punishing them, and even dare to talk about this matter publicly in front of him, the big shopkeeper.

But these people have limited knowledge after all. As long as Governor Liu says a word or two, they will be like being injected with chicken blood. But as long as Governor says another word, they will be truly moderates.

But the people sitting in the Tang Family Guild Hall can definitely be called the mainstay of Haibei Town. They are all wealthy, not big businessmen, big factory owners, and big mine owners are at least big landlords. What they are most worried about is the chaos. Why are they turning it back now? They are more anxious than the big people in Haibei Town.

Wu Menghui knew very well that they were not just talking, but were formally doing things and actively helping Haibei Town inquire about all aspects of the situation. They were obviously one of the people who enjoyed the most peace dividends.

Tang Shuijian understood all the confusion in Wu Menghui's heart. He immediately told Wu Menghui: "I stay here every day and understand everyone's feelings best. Before, the war in Liaodong was frequent, and everyone's life was difficult. It was a day to support it, so nothing would be thought of too long. To earn 30 or 50 taels of silver tomorrow is the happiest thing, but now the governor and governor advocate a temporary rest and rest..."

He continued: "Although there are other aspects of Liaoning and North Korea that have reported war reports every month, at least a few hundred or even thousands of officers and soldiers were killed or injured in the past month. For a month, I remember that no nearly 5,000 soldiers died. Now, only 180 soldiers in Haibei were killed or injured. If everything was peaceful, the number of casualties in a month was only thirty or fifty..."

"It is precisely because of the blessing of the governor and governor, that not only does everyone's business flourish, but their burden on money and grain has also been reduced by at least 20% or even 30% or 30% or 30% or 30% or 40%. Everyone is now full of wealth. Seeing that life continues like this, there will definitely be a mountain of gold and silver. Finally, I have the opportunity to free myself and think about it carefully, so I finally became scared!"

Wu Menghui didn't understand Tang Shuijian's statement at all. What does it have to do with everyone's fear of being scared? Since everyone is afraid that so many pro-war factions with such tough stances will appear, Tang Shuijian quickly asked a question: "Old Wu, ask you something? Before Haibei Town was born, how many friends did you have in your hands, and now how many people do you have in your hands?"

This question stunned Wu Menghui, but he quickly gave an extremely clear answer: "There were seventeen guys at the beginning, yes, there were seventeen guys in total, and now there are two thousand one hundred guys on the roster alone!"

The reason why he only said "the guy on the roster" was naturally because at least hundreds of guys were not on the Wu carriage and horse carriage and horse carriage and horse carriage and horse carriage and horse carriage. The situation here was very complicated and he couldn't make it clear in one sentence. However, if the guys who were not on the roster were calculated, there were almost 3,000 people running for Wu Menghui day and night.

But when he heard this, Tang Shuijian laughed: "Old Wu, you don't tell the truth from me. The number of hair growth over the years is more than one or two hundred times!"

This is of course a normal situation. When I could take a big waybill with a profit of three or five taels of silver, Wu Menghui would ask his wife to add a dish to the evening. Today, Wu Menghui just rejected a small waybill with a profit of at least five hundred taels. The reason is that this waybill is too hard and he no longer looks down on such a small order. His own changes over the years can be described as earth-shaking.

Tang Shuijian has already mentioned the benefits and losses in connection with the actual situation in the Tang family club: "Although everyone's situation is not as good as your old Wu, my life is not too bad. Who has been doing a great job in these years? If others don't say it, just say Xiao Lu beside you? If he had not saved the governor and governor by chance, would he have the same life today? Don't say that Yuwen Badu is the one who has done this!"

Wu Menghui already understood a little: "Yes, everyone's life has been booming over the years, and these days have completely changed!"

The mainstays of Haibei Town in the Tang Family Guild Hall are actually rarely from real wealthy families. Although many of them were born into powerful families, before the rise of Haibei Town, they were at most local tyrants, and many of them did not even have a scholar's fame.

Although they followed Liu Peng over the years, although many of the aristocratic families in Haibei were regarded as a group of real nouveau riche, the Haibei army has been in full swing over the years, and these aristocratic families have had to compromise with reality and began to fully cooperate with these "nouveau riche" in their eyes.

Now Wu Menghui couldn't help but sigh. Speaking of this, he already understood why these mainstays of Haibei Town society were so warlike. He was completely afraid of being beaten back to their original form: "What everyone is worried about is not that King Xin did not do well, but that King Xin was afraid that King Xin would do too beautifully and too vividly, and was the leader of the revival of the Ming Dynasty!"

Although these big merchants, big factory owners, big landlords, big mine owners or other prominent figures from today are definitely indispensable for personal struggle, but no one knows that the rise of the Haibei Army is the biggest factor in their success. As the saying goes, "the times create heroes", they may claim to be "heroes", but the rise of Haibei Town is the greatest momentum.

The ridiculous Emperor Tianqi and the ridiculous eunuch party with him have become the old papers of history, while the King Xin or Emperor Chongzhen, who had just ascended the throne for a few months, was very vivid and seemed to be quite a sign of the revival of the Lord.

However, if the Ming Dynasty was revived, Haibei Town and the "mainstream" who made their fortunes because of Haibei Town would be swept into the old paper piles of history like arrogant eunuchs. Seeing the end of the eunuchs' party being completely liquidated, these "Haibei Zhongli" in the Tang Family Guild Hall felt chilling.

They even have more worries. If the eunuch party only has political disputes with the "Kingzhongzhongjin", their "Haibeizhongji" will be truly "big rebellion and unjust", and the liquidation after the Zhongxing will definitely be a shattered end.

Most of these "Haibei Central Rivers" were raised by the Bai family, and this terrible situation was absolutely not allowed. If the war in Liaodong was constantly going on, their survival pressure was astonishingly high, and now Liu Peng adopted a policy of rest and recuperation, they finally had time to sit down and drink tea and drink wine, and consider the long-term problems, and then discovered such a terrible prospect.

Tang Shuijian even directly gave Wu Menghui a very realistic example: "Old Wu, tell me yourself, if King Xin was the lord of the Ming Dynasty's revival, even if you could escape this disaster, how much of this family business would be left now?"

Wu Menghui couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning. Such a prospect was really terrible. He knew that once such a terrible scene happened, he would definitely be the first to bear the brunt.

The relationship between him and Haibei Town is too close, just like a family. Even to the point where "there must be a Wu chariot and horse at the Haibei Army", he just tried every means to spend money to avoid disasters, and in the end he could save his life was the best ending.

"Well, there is still one-tenth of the family business left... One-tenth is already very good and very good. Maybe only those seventeen guys were even slaughtered by the whole family!"

Now he could understand why the more vested interests, the more warier the ones became. Not only did they not take the Ming court seriously, but they even reached the point of openly plotting rebellion, that is, the interests between the Ming Dynasty and Haibei have reached a completely opposite point.

If King Xin was the leader of the Ming Dynasty's Zhongxing, then Wu Menghui could only save one-tenth of his family business. Then, if King Xin could not achieve the Zhongxing business, then Wu Menghui continued to follow Governor Liu and develop according to the current momentum, his family business would be at least ten times or even a hundred times higher than that now.

It was precisely because of this that Wu Menghui could suddenly realize: "Sending troops to the southeast as soon as possible is the fundamental interest of our northern part of the sea!"

Since King Xin showed signs of revival, the most important thing for the parties in Haibei Town is to kill the great cause of revival in King Xin in the bud as much as possible, and a war that swept several provinces was enough to make all efforts in the past few months disappear.

Tang Shuijian was very happy that Wu Menghui could understand this. He told Wu Menghui: "I think the governor will understand this sooner or later. The reason why he continues to recuperate now is because of Jiannu!"

Tang Shuijian's problem in the long run. Judging from the existing combat power of the Haibei Army, whether it is going south, north or west, it can be unstoppable. However, the real problem lies in the aftermath of several major wars. No wonder these "Haibei Central Rivers" in the Tang Family Guild Hall were particularly enthusiastic about this matter, and even brought their own dry food to spy on all the realities and reality of the two Zhili.

After all, Jiannu is the leading enemy in Haibei Town. Although Huang Taiji has not been able to move his troops in the past few months, every time the Haibei Army encounters Jiannu in the past few years, it is a real hard battle. If it is launched too early, Jiannu may take advantage of it for nothing.

Therefore, Wu Menghui also felt that Tang Shuijian was right: "The Governor and Governor should have understood this truth a long time ago, but the right time has not come yet! I will talk to you carefully and tell everyone not to worry. It has only been eight months since the rest and recuperation!"
