Wishing You Eternal Happiness Chapter 774: ：Watching the fire from the other side
This is exactly what Yu Youyao meant: "The King of Liang is about to raise an army to rebel, and the world is in turmoil. The first to be in chaos is the weak and wealthy hinterland of the Central Plains. The Huaijiang River area is where the Fujian people live, and the Xie Mansion has withdrawn from Quanzhou. The news will be exposed sooner or later. Prince Liang will definitely be able to guess that Xie Mansion is going to the Huaijiang area. As long as checkpoints are set up along the way, Xie Mansion will become meat on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others."
River transportation was in the hands of the imperial court, and it was easy for things to go wrong.
The imperial court's control over shipping was extremely weak. The merchant ships of the Xie family had been operating along the southeastern coast. They were properly managed and had wider connections. When Prince Liang found out that the Xie family had fled, he could only stare blankly.
Mr. Xie nodded happily: "Xiao Yao'er has thought carefully, so we will follow her wishes. When we go to the Huaijiang area, we need to follow the road guide issued by the Quanzhou Prefecture Yamen. Tight, it is absolutely impossible for the Xie family to leave Quanzhou. Applying for fake customs clearance documents and identity documents requires taking great risks. If you are not careful, you can easily be exposed. Moreover, there are checks at all the checkpoints along the way. There are too many variables. ”
“Based on what King Zhou Li learned from the past, Youzhou is located in a bitter cold borderland and is often harassed by foreign enemies. Waiting for the imperial court to launch an army, the variables are too great. If you are not careful, you will once again become the king of Zhou Li. It was a tragic disaster, so the current emperor gave the northern border the privilege of not paying tribute to the salt tax, which can be used to purchase materials that the court cannot distribute in time. All the people arranged by King Wu Mu of the coastal defense can be easily solved by pretending to be merchants from Youzhou. It’s easy to get out of Quanzhou."
Jiazhou Prefecture and King Liang would never have imagined that they had King Wu Mu’s token and customs clearance documents in their hands.
From this point of view, going to the north is far safer than going to Huaijiang.
So the matter was settled.
Yu Youyao was certain in her heart.
On the second day, Yu Youyao, accompanied by her aunt and third cousin, went to the Yamen of the state capital.
Master Lin, Yan and Lin Ruoru also arrived.
Witnessed by officials of all sizes in the Jiazhou Prefecture and Yamen, the details of the purchase of medicine for disaster relief were agreed upon with the Lin family. After confirming that they were correct, the two parties signed a contract.
Under Yu Youyao's strong request, it was decided that Lin Ruoru would be responsible for the cooperation.
Master Lin was a little reluctant, but Yu Youyao used the excuse that she was a woman and could not have too much contact with foreign men. Master Lin also knew that she was a daughter of an official family, and she was very particular and had strict rules, so it was difficult to refuse her.
It was already afternoon when I left the Yamen.
Master Lin invited everyone from the Xie family to have a meal at Guiyuan Temple on Tumen Street. He also knew that Yu Youyao was in her filial period and would not be able to go to restaurants or other places.
Yu Youyao declined because she was unable to stay outside for a long time due to her filial piety.
Before leaving, Yu Youyao said casually: "I heard that Mr. Lin's ancestral home is from Zhejiang. Later, his family's business expanded, so the family moved to Quanzhou, Fujian. However, Mr. Lin has local medicinal materials in the south of the Yangtze River and often travels to and from Zhejiang. My cousin We are old friends with Mr. Ye, the governor of Zhejiang Province. Mr. Lin is a big family in Zhejiang and I think he recognizes Mr. Ye. When Mr. Lin comes to Zhejiang in the future, Mr. Lao Lin will say hello to Mr. Ye on behalf of my cousin and me."
The Lin family moved to Quanzhou just to develop the family business.
But in fact, the roots of the Lin family have always been in Zhejiang.
Mr. Lin's eyes flickered again and again, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
After Yu Youyao left, Master Lin and Mrs. Yan got on the carriage.
In the closed carriage, Mrs. Yan immediately lowered her voice and asked, "What do you mean, Lord Shaoyi? It doesn't sound like I really want you to say hello to Mr. Ye on her behalf."
If you want to say hello, that is, a letter, why do you need someone else to do it for you?
The Lin family is just a merchant and has no personal relationship or interaction with Mr. Ye. It is not suitable to leave it to the Lin family to do such a thing as saying hello!
Master Lin showed a thoughtful expression: "The Lord of Shaoyi County was born in the Yu family, and his family's descendants are spread all over the government and the public. In recent years, the emperor has been interested in using people from the Yu family, and many of the Yu family members are in high positions in the court. For an important position, Jiazhou Prefecture must be crazy to have trouble with the head of Shaoyi County."
Yan frowned: "Jiazhou Prefecture obviously has no good intentions towards the head of Shaoyi County."
Looks like a farce.
But it is a dangerous conspiracy.
The people do not fight with the officials. The merchants usually work together as a group and can check and balance the local officials. But once the control falls into the hands of the officials, they are almost like meat on the chopping board and can be slaughtered by others.
The solution to this crisis was the cooperation between Shaoyi County Chief and Lin Yan's family for disaster relief.
Mr. Lin gently turned the emerald green jade finger in his hand, and then said after a while: "Tell me, why does the head of Shaoyi County, a noble daughter of an official family, come to Quanzhou?"
Mr. Yan shook his head: "I heard that it was because his grandmother passed away and he became ill with worry, so he came to Quanzhou to recuperate."
Master Lin sneered: "If a relative dies, it will take three years to travel far away."
Mrs. Yan also felt that there was something hidden in this, so she heard Mr. Lin say: "Is it possible that Miss Yu knew in advance that Mr. Jia was going to be detrimental to the Xie Mansion, so she came to Quanzhou specially?" At this point, the more he thought about it, the more likely he felt that this was possible: "The head of Shaoyi County had just settled down in Quanzhou, and he purchased medicine from Lin Yan's family for disaster relief. Without this incident, the Xie Mansion would have been pushed to the forefront. Got it."
Yan's heart skipped a beat: "Xie Fu is the richest man in Quanzhou. If something happens to Xie Fu, Quanzhou will definitely be turbulent. We merchants headed by Xie Fu..."
Mr. Lin's face gradually became serious: "The Lord of Shaoyi County is reminding me and warning me at the same time."
The foundation of the Lin family is in Zhejiang. The Lin family can give up its business in Quanzhou, but it is impossible to give up. The foundation has been built up through several lifetimes of hard work. As long as the foundation remains, the Lin family will not collapse.
Zhejiang is under the rule of Mr. Ye, and the relationship between the head of Shaoyi County and Mr. Ye is equivalent to strangling the Lin family by the throat.
The only choice is to cooperate with the head of Shaoyi County.
What a deep city.
No wonder Ruoru said~IndoMTL.com~The Lord of Shaoyi County is the one who sets the chessboard. We are all chess pieces on her chessboard. We must be obedient and useful chess pieces to avoid being eaten.
Mr. Lin's thoughts turned to him: "With the help of Shaoyi County Lord's disaster relief, our family's operations in Quanzhou will be transferred back to Zhejiang. We must do it secretly and not let others discover it. We must hand over some properties to trustworthy people slowly." Sell slowly."
Ms. Yan was a little uneasy: "Isn't it too hasty to just rely on the words of the Shaoyi County Master?"
Mr. Lin didn’t think so: “Jiazhou Mansion has no good intentions towards Xie Mansion. If one move fails, there will definitely be another move. Our family has always followed Xie Mansion’s lead, and the situation in Quanzhou will not be good in the future. Anyway, the foundation of our family is in Zhejiang. If Quanzhou gives up, it will not have much impact. Quanzhou is not far from Zhejiang. We will watch the fire from across the bank to see the situation. When the time is right, we will return to Quanzhou, and the previous business will still be there. ”
The Lin family has mastered nearly 70% of the local medicinal materials in the south of the Yangtze River, and their operations in Quanzhou are irreplaceable.
The current political situation is unstable, and self-preservation is the best policy.
