The demon world I designed
Chapter 65 Onlookers
"Hey, it's quite lively... You magistrates are quite capable."
Mr. Shen leaned on the bow of the boat, looked at the port of Liuzhou, and whistled.
Although the second master of the Shen family looked gloomier, he acted like a wanton young man, which made Yuchi Feihong frown.
However, he slightly agreed with what the other party said.
He had heard about the situation in Liuzhou before he came. The incident in Liuzhou was bigger than any demon incident in the north, but he didn't expect it to become so popular so quickly. The new prefect had some tricks.
"Rongsheng, Baiye, Donghua... tsk tsk, five of the top ten merchants in Jiangnan are here. How many days has it been?" The second master smiled and said, "It seems that Liuzhou's door gods are very attractive."
"Door God?" Yuchi Feihong was stunned: "What is that?"
"The general doesn't know?"
Yuchi Feihong shook his head hesitantly. When he received the transfer order, he only knew that it was his brother, the direct family head, who messed up the matter. Liuzhou officials died, Yuchipeng was transferred back to the capital to be punished, and he was transferred from the north to Liuzhou. Serve as commander-in-chief.
According to the strategy in Dad's letter, he should continue to maintain his domineering character, especially to maintain a non-confrontational attitude towards local officials.
But before arriving in Liuzhou, he saw a monstrous tide of snakes taking the Shen family ancestor's ship to the West Sea, so he reported it temporarily, and after receiving the order, he tracked it all the way to the West Sea. That's why we suffered such heavy losses.
As for Liuzhou's intelligence, he was still stuck on one month ago.
"Then General, you need to have a good experience!" Mr. Shen didn't say much, he chuckled and continued to look at the moving crowd.
He had excellent eyesight and soon saw several heads of trading firms on the dock.
This picture is quite interesting.
Although Liuzhou has recovered due to the door god, it is normal for many businesses to choose to come here to purchase goods again, but for this kind of thing, just send a shopkeeper casually. Several bosses have come here. Is it possible that they are all attracted by the spiritual fluid of the mountain god? Already?
Mr. Shen felt that this was not the case, so he closed his eyes and secretly activated the Falun to monitor the surroundings.
"Master Ye is here too?"
On the pier, it was Shen Yiyan of Rongsheng who was chatting with the leaders. Rongsheng was a trading firm directly operated by the Shen family. It was considered the largest local local power. Shen Yiyan's status was also extraordinary. Among the leaders of the firms, they were all considered. Compliments exist.
The person called Mr. Ye is a woman who looks to be in her early twenties. She is the head of Tianhua Trading Co., the latest business firm that has recently emerged in Jiangnan.
The origin of this business is mysterious, but it has a lot of resources behind it. After settling in Jiangnan, it was convenient for the government to open all the way, and the funds are also quite strong. It only took two years to establish a firm foothold. Lady Ye in front of her is the most talked about iron lady in the Jiangnan business community recently. figure.
"Are all the seniors here too?" The woman smiled and bowed dignifiedly. Her movements and etiquette were impeccable. Many women from Jiangnan aristocratic families did not have such a temperament, but their face shape was a bit surprising.
Because the woman's face shape is not that of women from the Central Plains. It has the style of women from Western countries. She has straight facial features, fair skin, and a pair of blue eyes that are rare for women from the Central Plains.
Such a Western woman wearing Jiangnan silk always looks a little weird.
"How could the new prefect not be there if he is making such big moves?" One of the short, fat businessmen with a mustache chuckled and looked at him with a somewhat wanton look.
The woman didn't care when she saw this. After all, it was rare for female heads to show up in public these days, and she had seen too many strange looks.
Shen Yiyan frowned, obviously not very optimistic about the virtue of the short and fat businessman, so he said directly: "I thought it was some leader who had the foresight to buy the commercial properties in Liuzhou in advance, but I didn't expect that it was the prefect himself. Move your hands..."
The other heads also nodded when they heard this. Their reaction at first was not too slow compared to Rongsheng. It took a day or two at most. After hearing about the door god, they immediately set their sights on the shops on Liuzhou South Street.
Unexpectedly, when they went to the market, not a single woolen shop was left. After asking each other, no one admitted that they were responsible.
But after all, each family has its own background and has huge power. After a little use of connections to investigate, it was found out that it was the prefect of Liuzhou who bought it himself.
This is the first time they have seen this operation in all their years of doing business. This official is really interesting...
"Seniors, what do you think?" Master Ye asked softly.
"This prefect is very confident!" One of the tall men said in a low voice. Shen Yiyan looked over. This man is the head of Donghua. Anyone who knows the background knows that Donghua is a military force with several people in the capital behind him. Your Majesty.
The man named Jiang is said to be a general who was discharged due to injury on the northern battlefield.
Although the man was rough-looking, he had a very delicate mind. He said calmly: "Before the door god became famous, he used all the funds given to him by the chief envoy to buy land in Liuzhou in advance. He was confident and confident. It seemed that not only was there a lot of power behind him, We will not be held accountable by the court, and we are very confident that land prices will rise again.”
"It seems that both the door god and the mountain god who were rumored a few days ago should have been prepared in advance."
The other heads nodded after hearing this.
"If we want to share the dividends from Liuzhou's return, I'm afraid we will have to get a good deal from the prefect." The short, fat businessman with the mustache from before said with a smile.
"It depends on whether he has the ability to eat it!" The head surnamed Jiang sneered: "I have been watching this door god for a few days. It must not be a disguise. The mountain temple is also under construction now. These things have no strength. , A mere prefect can’t defend it just because he wants to.”
"By the way..." The big man said and looked at Shen Yiyan: "I heard that the prefect also detained members of your Shen family?"
Shen Yiyan suddenly had an embarrassed smile on his face.
He didn't expect that the prefect would really dare to target members of his Shen family, and he would dare to let the news out so blatantly. Now everyone with better information knows that his Shen family has been detained, and he has been really slapped in the face.
"Juniors have also heard about it." Head Master Ye looked at Shen Yiyan: "Then the new master doesn't show any favor to the Shen family?"
"I really don't want to sell it..." Shen Yiyan smiled bitterly: "I also came to the door, and I didn't even see the prefect. Mr. Zhou, who was in charge of the paperwork, kicked me out when he heard that I didn't plan to pay."
"Ha..." A group of people couldn't help laughing when they heard this: "How can Mr. Shen be so depressed? This is really interesting. Is this prefect just a fool?"
Shen Yiyan smiled but didn't say much. He didn't know the origin of the new prefect, but he was definitely not a fool.
He was at the scene the day the three people from the big house were detained. He saw with his own eyes that his three nephews were suppressed in an instant without even a spark of resistance.
Although he is not a qualified sorcerer, he was once a legitimate son of the Shen family, and he still has some knowledge. The ability that the young prefect showed that day could rival that of Jiangnan's scholar of politics!
According to the information, he is only twenty-one years old. No one would believe him if he told me!
"Senior Shen didn't pay for this?" Master Ye asked with a smile.
Shen Yiyan also smiled and did not reply.
The money is not much. Ten thousand taels per person is nothing to the Shen family. Any shopkeeper in Rongsheng has the authority to spend more than 500,000 taels.
But you can't lose face. If you give these ten thousand taels, you will probably be drowned by the spit stars of the clan when you go back.
"I understand..." Mr. Ye nodded slightly when he saw that Shen Yiyan did not reply: "Our new prefect wants to use the Shen family to establish his authority!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions became strange.
To be honest, the current situation is not difficult to guess, but it still feels incredible.
In Jiangnan... use the Shen family to establish authority?
Your brain is not broken, right?
The backgrounds behind the major trading houses are all impressive. After all, Jiangnan is the land with the highest tax revenue in the entire Jin Dynasty, except for Tiandu Yunzhou. Who with some influence doesn't want to lend a hand?
But no matter how strong the external forces are, they are always polite to the Shen family. After all, everyone knows that the Shen family... has been the local snake in this land for thousands of years!
"Then...should we buy the land?" the short, fat businessman with a mustache asked with a frown.
"Buy it, why don't you buy it?" The man chuckled and said, "I haven't seen such a smart civil servant for a long time. If he can get the redemption money from the Shen family, I will obey him and buy it for any amount of money, haha. Ha ha!"
The other heads laughed when they heard this, and even Shen Yiyan couldn't help but feel a little amused.
This young prefect used his own family to kill chickens to scare monkeys. It is really a joke worth telling...
Just as he was talking, there was a commotion on the dock. Everyone frowned and looked over. Now that several large commercial banks' cargo ships are at the dock, who dares to cause trouble at the dock?
When he glanced at it, he was stunned.
"The military ship... Yuchi Feihong has arrived." The big man said in a deep voice.
It was clear from his tone that he was not interested in this general who had made great military exploits in the north.
"It's exciting now..." The mustachioed man stroked his beard and smiled happily.
Yuchi Feihong's reputation has been heard even in the south. Since the newly appointed magistrate has set up a door god this time, he will naturally want to seize the military power of the city gate, offend the Shen family, and confront the madman Yuchi family. Today's excitement is still there It's really unusual.
It’s no wonder they traveled thousands of miles to come here by boat!
"Huh? That woman is..." Mr. Ye's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw a woman walking in front of Yuchi Feihong: "Oh, it's really lively now."
"Why is she here?" Shen Yiyan's scalp was numb when he saw that person.
He had thought that his family would definitely send someone to come over to restore the situation, but he never expected that they would send this crazy woman over!
This is really troublesome! !
Alas, it was updated too fast. The word count reached 200,000, and it was immediately dropped from the new book list. Woohoo.
Among the new books released at the same time, none is as sincere as Rubik's Cube, yet readers say it is short and where is the truth? Where is the truth?
Dear readers, please take comfort in the Rubik's Cube and read more. Without the new book list, your collection will be full. The Rubik's Cube is really a real person.
