Chapter 439 Wang Xuan's Anxiety

What was sent back this time was not a letter, but a person came back directly. The news was quite complicated and a letter could not be explained clearly.

The person who came back was from a special forces team and was an escort who followed Li Shantang into Beijing this time. After seeing Wang Xuan, he immediately knelt on one knee, "I have met the master."

"Well, get up, tell me, there is something important this time, and you still need to go there yourself."

The guard said something and handed over another letter, which contained a password letter. The message level was too high and the guard could not know it.

After reading it, Wang Xuan couldn't help laughing twice. It turned out that after Li Shantang entered Beijing, he first contacted some officials from Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces in a low-key manner. One was to win over relations and the other was to inquire about information. After all, he was in Fujian before, and he had a rough understanding of the actions of Beijing.

He is old and has a steady job, so he doesn't want to attack rashly. On the other hand, Wang Xuan had contacted some lower-level officials of the Jinyiwei in Beijing through Fujian through Fujian, and had obtained a lot of information. Of course, there was no secret one. This time he also gave Li Shantang to watch to help him understand the situation.

After more than ten days of this, Li Shantang made the decision and started to attack everywhere. He followed Wang Xuan's path directly to the road. As expected, he was always in trouble, and Li Shantang also felt the addiction of being rich and powerful.

The feeling of spending money like soil is really fascinating. The huge pearls and the peach coral half a meter high are all rare treasures, and are often more useful than gold and silver, but he later guessed that these should be easier for Wang Xuan to obtain.

Otherwise, how could it be so large?

He was very careful in his calculations and left a lot of real money and silver. In fact, he also understood that for the top people, there was no shortage of gold and silver. Instead, this treasure that could increase his value and show his extraordinary treasures were even more cherished.

This time, Wang Xuan also arranged some famous calligraphy and paintings for him, and several night pearls with fists as big as babies, which were sent out by him in the name of a treasure. After this operation, the Minister of War was a hot potato, and Emperor Wanli ignored the government affairs, so he took it down directly.

There was no trouble at all during this period, but Wang Xuan was very satisfied.

After Li Shantang took office, he bought a large mansion in Beijing. In addition, Wang Xuan, who accompanied him, purchased more than a dozen houses from all directions in the capital as a place to settle down, and used them as a hidden communication place.

After taking office, Li Shantang ignored everything on the surface, but in fact he was secretly collecting information from the entire Ministry of War. Of course, he was not ready to report anything, just prepared for any trouble...

On the other hand, Li Shantang's main energy was all focused on making friends with the powerful people in the capital. Especially Wang Xuan's explanation of the prince's mansion, now the position of the prince is very barely, and there are not many ministers willing to make friends with him. In other words, the real officials did not take the prince seriously. The prince was too single and lonely, and he was also a puppet after he succeeded to the throne.

Of course, this is a tacit understanding between all parties, and no one will break the balance first and use the new emperor to expand their power, otherwise it will be a form of attacking people.

All parties are focused on fighting for power and profit. Finally, a senior official in the court is willing to take care of the prince, which naturally makes the prince happy.

But Li Shantang also had a good grasp of it. He looked like a newcomer who came to Beijing, and all the monsters and monsters were visiting each other, and he didn't offend anyone, and it didn't attract much attention.

It was silently seen by the prince, and then everything went with the flow and married into the prince's mansion and became a select attendant. It was not a major event that shocked the court and the public, so no one cared about it.

In addition, the vacant governor of Fujian has also attracted many people's jealousy. All of this is a trouble caused by Li Shantang's entry into Beijing. Although everyone does not know how much Li Shantang is worth in the past, this time, his actions in Beijing were rich and naturally made people look at Fujian.

Even if he didn't say it himself, everyone believed that the reason why Li Shantang had such financial resources was that he was plundered in Fujian. In this way, the formerly worthless governor of Fujian suddenly became a popular commodity.

For a time, all families or forces who were interested in competing for the Fujian governor came to visit and make friends with Li Shantang, with the purpose of getting some guidance. After all, being an official is one thing, and being able to get money is another.

This made Li Shantang feel a little embarrassed. I don’t know whether to release the news about Wang Xuan. Although many people also know that Wang Xuan has emerged in Fujian, they don’t know more specifically.

After all, it was ancient times, and the information spread was extremely slow. Even if some Wang Xuan was overbearing, the King of Fujian, murdered people like me, and was rebelled at every turn, everyone did not believe it. They all thought it was an exaggeration and spread rumors...

Now, Li Shantang needs Wang Xuan to have a clear attitude, whether to say it or not, how much to say it?

Wang Xuan listened to all aspects of information for an afternoon before he could clearly understand. The first thing was that Fei Ge sent a letter to Li Shantang. It can be said that the basis has been completed and there is no need to hide it now, but there is no need to say it too well, it is only seven points. If you say it, no one will believe it...

As for the new governor of Fujian, Wang Xuan didn't care. He loved anyone, and did what he was obedient. If he was not obedient, he would give him a cement pier.

In addition, Wang Xuan had something to do if Li Shantang did. In fact, Wang Xuan fell in love with two people and two men. Don’t get me wrong, it’s about talent.

One is Hong Chengchou, a Jinshi in the 44th year of Wanli, a native of Quanzhou Prefecture, who was previously absorbed into Lin Feng Academy. Wang Xuan came out and specially added 500 acres of land to win people's hearts.

However, when collecting the list of juren in Fujian Province, Wang Xuan also saw Hong Chengchou's name, which he remembered deeply.

He served as the governor of Shaanxi and participated in politics. He made many military achievements in the war of peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. He was promoted to the governor of the Three Borders of Shaanxi. He was transferred to the governor of Ji Liao during the Chongzhen period. After the Battle of Songjin, he joined the Qing Dynasty and was highly valued by Huang Taiji.

Not to mention why he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, nor would he mention whether he was a traitor, but Jiujiu was indeed one of the few capable ministers in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasty. Moreover, in this life, Wang Xuan intervened, and the "My Qing Dynasty" did not take Wang Xuan's eyes at all, so he was going to bring Hong Chengchou under his command.

Only when you are here can Hong Chengchou play all his intelligence and talents. If he put it in others' hands, he must be a dark pearl.

Another person who attracted Wang Xuan's attention was Yuan Chonghuan, who was from Shijie, Dongguan, Guangdong. He had been out of contact with him. No, he happened to be in charge of the exam this year. At this time, he was also in Beijing. Wang Xuan learned about this person through Qi Hongliang.

Over the past year, what Qi Hongliang did in Guangdong was to inquire about all families in Guangdong and try to make the information detailed. Yuan Chonghuan is quite talented in the local area, so naturally he was seen by Wang Xuan within the scope of his intelligence collection.

Yuan Chonghuan was a man of mixed praise and criticism in later generations, but he was considered an absolute master of praise and criticism in this troubled era in the late Ming Dynasty, and was much better than those mediocre people.

At least it is much better than Qian Qianyi, who only criticizes but has no praise.

He has talent, but he can play a role or see whether he can control it. Wang Xuan believes that no one can control it yet!

Now, Wang Xuan feels that there is a lack of talent and he needs to worry about many things himself, which is really annoying.

This time, Li Shantang took action and dropped both of them to the Ministry of War, and experienced them well, and took a lot of dark side of the court. If this new Jinshi came to his side when his business was full of energy, he might not accept it. If Wang Xuan couldn't help but make a cement pier, he would not be able to train these two people.

It’s not a cute loli, a silly man, the task of training will be left to Li Shantang.

...

On this day, Liu Wenju, the head of the Liu family in Ningbo, arrived, and Wang Xuan took time to meet him.

The development speed of Xiao Liuqiu was very fast, and Liu Wen had a lot of efforts, mainly because he brought a lot of plowing oxen and slow horses from the Jurchens through the relationship between the north. Whether it was pulling or plowing the land, Wang Xuan had a huge demand.

To this end, Wang Xuan also arranged for the shipyard to specifically improve a ship type. The second and third floor decks were basically transparent, so it was easy to place cattle and horses, with a larger space, and it could also ensure the survival rate and carrying quantity of cattle and horses during transportation.

Now, every time the head of the Liu family transported a large amount of cloth, salted fish, silk, porcelain, tea, and steel utensils from Fuzhou, and went to the Jurchens to exchange for a large number of cattle, horses and sheep, as well as large trees that can build ships. They could make a lot of money without a trip. Even several families with him in Ningbo joined in and specialized in this business.

Although the profits of a single trip are not as good as those of Japan's routes, they can't stand the back and forth, and they are safe and stable. Overall, the profits are even greater than those of Japan's routes.

This time I came to see Wang Xuan and asked him to come here to give him a task.

Li Shantang successfully took over the position of Minister of War. Wang Xuan promised his help to stabilize the situation in Guandong, so that he, the Minister of War, could do more steadily and perhaps have a chance to go further.

As soon as the head of the Liu family saw Wang Xuan, he immediately saluted respectfully. The deeper he got in touch, the more he knew how terrifying Wang Xuan's power was. "The villain has seen Mr. Wuzhou."

"Well, no gift, sit down." Wang Xuan sat there and greeted him, and then continued after taking the head of the Liu family to do it: "I'll ask you here this time to have a task to hand it over."

The head of the Li family moved. Good things, being able to take over Wang Xuan’s task means that his position in Wang Xuan’s heart is one step closer. “I would like to ask Mr. Wuzhou to give me instructions.”

"This time you go to Liaodong, go to meet Yang Hao, the Liaodong governor, and buy someone with him."

"Yang Hao, buy someone?" The head of the Liu family looked surprised.

"Yes, buy people, I want to buy the people in Liaodong outside the pass." Wang Xuan said firmly, "Although there are not many people in Liaodong outside the pass, they live under the threat of the Jurchen iron hooves all year round and face the danger of being robbed by the Jurchens at any time."

"Many times, being burned, killed, looted by the Jurchens, humiliated by women, and captured as coated slaves, is simply hell on earth. Even if I was in Fujian, I couldn't help but cry when I heard about such a tragedy."

"However, the Jurchens are cruel and the court is incompetent, which has caused the people to suffer such great suffering. How can I feel at ease? But I traveled thousands of miles away, and I can't even help me, so I came up with such a solution."

"No matter whether it is a man, a woman, a young or a man, five taels of silver, you can buy it from Yang Hao and buy it back for me all the people living outside the pass between the Ming Dynasty and the Jurchens."

"Of course, it must be a complete family. Don't just catch elderly, children and women. This is also to prevent them from killing people. I believe this price will impress them."

"What a fucking migrating to the people of the Ming Dynasty means giving up their territory and losing their territory. They say that people have run away by themselves, either they are captured by the Jurchens, and they have money to take it, and they don't have to take responsibility. I believe that these third-rate guys who are fighting war will pounce on them like they see fresh and hot manure."

The head of the Liu family was stunned when he heard this. You, the murderous devil, Wang Xuan, will you feel uneasy? Will you cry in your heart? I believe your ghost!

People in Fujian are migrating everywhere and thinking I don’t know?
