Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

Chen Lang was startled for a moment, and then immediately understood Guo Ye's intentions, nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, yes, our salt gang is engaged in the business of selling private salt, so how could there be no salt in storage? But if the whole city of Yangzhou According to the amount of salt used, it is estimated that my house can only last for about ten days. After a long time, the salt in my place is bound to run out."

"Ten days? Enough!"

Guo Ye immediately made up his mind, and ordered: "Chen Duwei, you should arrange for Zhechong Duwei's mansion to take over the East Gate Ferry Wharf right now, and then send a letter back to the Salt Gang, and ask your five thousand Salt Gang disciples to escort them quickly." Store salt and enter the city. Also, from now on, your five thousand disciples of the Salt Gang will stay in the city to help me maintain order in the city and strictly prevent chaos in the city."

Chen Lang replied: "Okay, I'll make arrangements now. Governor Guo can rest assured that even if the property of the Salt Gang is wiped out, I will also ask my subordinates to escort all the stored salt into the city to alleviate the salt panic."

Guo Ye shook his head and smiled: "Chen Duwei, how can I let the Yan Gang advance the money for nothing? Don't worry, the money is as much as it should be, and you will definitely not let the Yan Gang lose money. Anyway, it's not worth the money. My money, someone will pay for this money by then!"

Chen Lang let out a half-belief, then hurriedly turned and ran out of the hall to make arrangements.

As soon as Chen Lang left, Guo Ye muttered again: "The salt panic can be alleviated temporarily, and the next thing is food. Zhenxuan!"

Liu Zhenxuan stood upright and said, "Your subordinate is here, Lord Hou."

Guo Ye looked at his tense appearance, smiled and comforted him and said, "Don't be nervous, we've seen the big storms, do you still care about this small battle? These, you will bring hundreds of soldiers with you later, and then take me I will go to the county offices of the nine counties under the jurisdiction of Yangzhou to collect food for me one by one. Whether it is for collection or credit, you must buy me the rice and grain of the people in the city for ten days. If you find that someone is secretly colluding with the Zhang family, deliberately making things difficult and prevaricating for your grain collection, I will give you the power of life and death. Whether it is a county order or a county gentry, whoever dares to stop you from collecting grain, you will cut off his head .”

"what?"

Liu Zhenxuan was completely dumbfounded now, and asked hesitantly: "Master Hou, if you really want to kill a certain county magistrate, I'm afraid even you will be condemned by the court!"

Although the governor is the head of a state, he has no power over the county magistrates under his jurisdiction.Even if the county magistrate commits the crime, he must be convicted by the Ministry of Punishment.

Guo Ye patted him on the shoulder, and said with relief: "Do it with confidence, if something really happens, I will take care of everything. What is a good boss is a good boss who is taken care of by his subordinates. Go, I have everything."

"Subordinates obey!"

Liu Zhenxuan's spirit was greatly lifted, and he promised firmly with one mouthful of spittle: "If the subordinates can't collect the rice grain, the subordinates will be ashamed to see Lord Hou again."

After all, he also followed in Chen Lang's footsteps, rushing out of the hall in a hurry.

Chen Jitao saw that Guo Ye's arrangement was orderly and not chaotic at all, so he couldn't help feeling more at ease, and then reminded: "Lord Governor, right now, do you want to go around the city to appease the people?"

Guo Ye shook his head and said: "No, as long as the rice and salt are in place, Yangzhou City will not be in chaos. Instead, we must buy time to get the account book in the hands of the clerk of the Yanyun Yamen."

"Ah?" Chen Jitao asked suspiciously, "My lord, are you still thinking about something? Why don't you put this matter aside for now, why don't you concentrate on dealing with the Zhang family's shady move?"

Guo Ye categorically refused: "No, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible. If you don't get the detailed account book, you can't take Zhang Chengzong down. If you don't take Zhang Chengzong down, how can you pry the entire Zhang family in Yangzhou out of his mouth? Chen Juncheng, you You know, if you want to negotiate with someone, you must have something in your hand that makes him afraid. Otherwise, you will be humiliating yourself if you go. Do you understand what I mean?"

Chen Jitao went through Guo Ye's words in his mind for a while, and immediately understood, saying yes again and again.

Guo Ye waved his hand, signaled Guan Jiujiu to come over, and then asked: "Old Guan, now you can treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor, first tell me your method, how to treat Xue, oh yes, the one in Xue Hao's hand The real account books were defrauded."

For the first time, Guan Jiujiu said six words succinctly: "Set up a situation, provoke, instigate rebellion!"

Guo Ye rolled his eyes at him, and shouted: "Are you fucking talking about heavenly scriptures? Specifically, what exactly is it?"

Guan Jiujiu pretended to slap his own mouth again, and said with forgiveness: "My lord, don't blame me. I wonder if my lord has heard of Yuru Pavilion in Yangzhou?"

Guo Ye shook his head to express his ignorance.

Guan Jiujiu hastily explained: "My lord doesn't know that Xue Hao's shady secret is inextricably related to Yu Ruxuan. Hehe, this fellow, you really have a lot of guts. The matter Is such that……"

Chapter 756

Guan Jiujiu tried his best to refine his language, and told the ins and outs of Yu Ruxuan.

The county magistrate Chen Jitao next to him had also heard about Yu Ruxuan, and added to Guan Jiujiu from time to time.

Guo Ye finally understood, nodded thoughtfully and said, "Ganqinger is a high-class prostitute? Hehe, I didn't expect there to be such a good place in Yangzhou City."

If the Qinlou Chu Pavilion in Yangzhou City is a public bathing pool, then the Yuru Pavilion Guan Jiujiu is talking about belongs to the VIP special service in high-end clubs.

In fact, the business model of Yuruxuan is not unfamiliar to him, a later generation.

I think he, Mr. Guo, also went to Shanghai on business trips back then, and also enjoyed services similar to Yuruxuan, okay?In Shanghai, usually some high-end bullying high-end girls will rent bachelor apartments, and then go to sea to pick up customers to earn extra money.

Of course, this kind of high-class prostitute is not like a place of three religions and nine streams. As soon as he comes in, he asks, sir, can I serve you like a living zombie?Then take off your clothes and have sex, finish the job, pay the money and leave.

They will serve customers wholeheartedly, chat with you about current affairs with you, play a piece of Richard Clayderman's "Adilina by the Water" for you, and even Brew coffee and make snacks for you, so that you can experience the feeling of being at home when you are away from home.

This is the real difference between professional players and non-professional players, professional prostitutes and amateurs.

Therefore, when Guan Jiujiu mentioned this Yuruxuan, Guo Ye was not surprised at all, and then asked: "And then? Go on and get to the point! What is the relationship between Yuruxuan and us defrauding Xue Hao of the detailed account book?" connection?"

Seeing Guo Ye's indifferent expression, Guan Jiujiu couldn't help but praise in his heart, your lord is really well-informed, even a place like Yuruxuan doesn't feel new to him.

Immediately, he continued: "The girl Yuru in the Yuru Pavilion is well-known in Yangzhou City. Let's not talk about her beauty, let's say that she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. I don't know how many powerful people in the city He flocks to her. Hehe, but as far as the students know, Zhang Chengzong is a frequent visitor of Yuruxuan. He is not only generous, but also domineering. So, although Yuruxuan is well-known in Yangzhou City, but because of Zhang Chengzong's relationship, few people dare to set foot there and kiss Fangze."

When Guo Ye heard it, he couldn't help but said happily: "Oh, Zhang Chengzong's grandson is still addicted to prostitution? He is so overbearing."

Guan Jiujiu followed with a few laughs, and continued: "Xue Hao also admires Miss Yuru very much, but this girl looks Zhou Zhengjun and handsome, and likes to scribble a word and look like a gentleman. They all call it bitch Zi loves beauty, loves money and talent, hehe, this Yuru girl naturally likes such a wonderful person like Xue Hao. According to the students who have followed Xue Hao for such a long time, Xue Hao will sneak into Yuru every now and then. Xuan has a private meeting with this girl, and the two of them are now in the middle of their love affair. My lord, do you now understand what the student means?"

Guo Ye could almost understand the twists and turns in it when he heard this, and confirmed again: "You mean, Zhang Chengzong does not allow others to get involved with this Yuru girl, but Xue Hao can't control himself. Flirting with Yuru?"

Guan Jiujiu said: "Exactly, this is the biggest gain of the students these days. My lord, think about it, if Zhang Chengzong knew that Xue Hao was hiding it from him, what would you say to Zhang Chengzong? Xue Hao's So what happens?"

Guo Ye smiled, nodded and said: "I seem to understand what you mean, this method is really possible."

"hey-hey……"

"quack……"

For a moment, the two of them laughed badly at each other, with lewdness and obscenity in their eyes.

But Chen Jitao was confused, and couldn't help questioning: "Lord Inspector, if Zhang Chengzong's affairs about Xue Hao and Miss Yuru were revealed to Zhang Chengzong, with his cruel and violent temper, Xue Hao would lose his skin even if he didn't die. But Xue Hao Once something happens to Hao, won't it be more difficult for us to get the ledger?"

Guo Ye shook his head and joked: "Chen Juncheng, you are a kind person, but Lao Guan is so bad that pus is flowing from the top of his head and soles of his feet. Naturally, you will not understand his real intentions."

After hearing this, Guan Jiujiu was depressed for a while, speechless and could only smile wryly.

Guo Ye said: "Chen Juncheng, you don't care about this matter, Lao Guan and I will cheat the account books. You, just sit in the governor's mansion for me and look after the house for a while."

Chen Jitao still didn't understand the real intentions of Guo Ye and Guan Jiujiu, so he simply stopped getting involved, nodded and said, "Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely take care of everything in the government office."

Guo Ye hummed, and told Guan Jiujiu: "Old Guan, you should prepare for this matter, choose the route and the location of the Tibetans. By the way, go to Chen Lang and borrow from him. Here are some good hands who climb the wall and climb the courtyard, we are going to start squatting outside Yuruxuan for a few days."

Guan Jiujiu replied: "The students know!"

……

……

For three days in a row, because Chen Lang transferred salt from the Salt Gang in time to store salt, the crisis of salt panic was temporarily alleviated.

Although the hearts of the people in the city are a little fluctuating, they haven't reached the point of panic.

The Zhang family's sudden move did not cause too much trouble to Guo Ye, but the salt gang's salt reserves were being consumed every day, and they couldn't last for too long.
