The sales of tea are small? Yinzhen couldn't help but feel stunned. I remember that tea is the main export commodity. Is it not popular in the West yet? This is a great opportunity. He glanced at Hong Wanshan. This man had the courage and vision. Tea will become a hot-selling commodity in less than a few years. He could give him a chance. After pondering for a moment, Yinzhen said: "I heard your accent, are you a local from Guangzhou?"

After hearing this question, Hong Wanshan's heart was thrilled. Prince Xun actually asked about his private affairs. This was a good omen. He hurriedly calmed down and replied calmly: "Xiaguan is from Shunde, his family is in Shunde, and his family is young in Guangzhou."[.]

It’s good to be a local. People in this era have a strong regional concept and serious xenophobic thinking. Locals in Guangzhou have a lot of advantages in Guangzhou. Yinzhen calmed down and changed the topic, "Has the Thirteen Investors established a public commerce?"

Seeing that Yinzhen changed the topic, Hong Wanshan couldn't help feeling disappointed, but he did not dare to slack off at all. What the 14th prince did in the past two years is already a legend in the business world. Naturally, his scheming and methods are beyond the reach of ordinary people? Thinking of this, he replied cautiously: "Best the prince, twelve years ago, the 13th corpses formed a public business, but it was disbanded after less than a year of maintenance. No public business will be formed again."

"Oh, why is this?" Yinzhen asked with interest.

Hong Wanshan pondered: "The purpose of the Thirteen Banks establishing the Public Investors is to control the price of goods and seek greater benefits in foreign trade. Foreign businesses naturally do not rely on it. They have a lot of money to buy individual merchants, and... officials. In addition, the establishment of the Public Investors also caused mutual conflicts between the Thirteen Banks and the vast number of individual merchants. Foreign merchants take advantage of conflicts in import and export goods prices and transaction volumes, causing the public bank to lose money. Under the attack of the two, the public bank was quickly disbanded."

A group of short-sighted people who only know what they are fighting in their nests! Yinzhen cursed inwardly.

At this time, Dachun heard from outside, "Report to the prince, some merchants in the Thirteen dynasties are waiting to see each other."

Yinzhen couldn't help but be stunned and said to himself, "So fast?"

Hong Wanshan hurriedly explained: "Prince, the headquarters of Thirteen Fronts is close to you."

Yinzhen nodded and said loudly: "Press the imperial envoy's flag at the door, and let them all kneel at the gate of Guangde Garden to wait."

Hong Wanshan's neck shrank when he heard this. Shisanxing was afraid that he would be in trouble this time.

In the courtyard,

The tips for investigation at the port soon entered the inner room of Boss Deng, "The Fujian Navy's warships are no longer seen at the port, but some ship bosses said that the Fujian Navy had a fleet stationed in Macau, which has been three days."

"Continue to pay attention to the movement of the Fujian Navy in Macau." Boss Deng said in a deep voice, but his heart sank. It seems that the idea is most likely to be back to Shanghai on a warship, so he can only take action in Guangzhou. He was very upset. This is what he most unwilling to do. If he takes action in Guangzhou City, if one hit, the officers and soldiers will arrive in an instant. The second is to lose their manpower. Once he is shocked, it will be difficult to have a chance to take action.

After meditating for a while, Boss Deng walked out and glanced at the brothers who were still guarding the house. He ordered in a deep voice: "Lu Zi, go and sketch the terrain and roads near Guangde Park, let's make a good idea."

"Sanduo, find a way to smuggle the bow and arrow in."

"Xiao Wu, disperse our manpower and place it near us."

When everyone saw that Boss Deng was about to take action, they all agreed excitedly and turned around to work hard.

At the gate of Guangde Park, twenty-one Guangdong Customs businessmen were kneeling. In less than an hour, the news spread throughout the Guangzhou officialdom. When Yinzhen vented his anger on the Thirteen ranks, all the officials could only smile bitterly. As the general supervisor of the General Administration of Customs, it was natural for Yinzhen to rectify the internal affairs of Guangdong Customs, and no one dared to stand up and say gossip.

After hearing the news, Zhu Yanzhi hurried over. When Yinzhen saw him, he said, "Go outside the door and click to see if anyone hasn't arrived?"

Zhu Yanzhi bowed and replied, "Report to the prince, the official has been ordered. There are 24 businessmen in Guangdong Customs. There are twenty-one outside, and there is one here, and there is still two."

"Yes, I can't tell that there are two more courageous people in Guangdong Customs." Yinzhen sneered: "Who is Chacha?"

Soon, someone reported it. What was missing was Yuan Lu and Wang Kunpeng. Both of them were sick and were bedridden and did not dare to come to see the prince, so as not to be unlucky.

Yinzhen glanced at Hong Wanshan with a pale face, "What are the backgrounds of these two people?"

Hong Wanshan moved uneasyly, then lowered his head and replied: "Wang Kunpeng has a daughter who is the concubine of Zhao Hongcan, the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. Yuan Lu is the former governor of Guangdong and currently the Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. "

"Hmph, I really have a deep background, and it actually involves two governors at once." Yinzhen snorted coldly, and then ordered lightly: "Dachun, take the king's flag and lead people to capture the customs merchant Yuan Lu and Wang Kunpeng."

"Slaves respect their orders." Dachun bowed and took the order and left.

Zhu Yanzhi knew that the master's tone was weaker and the more severe the attack, so he hurriedly knelt down, "The prince is all incompetent and ineffective in control. I beg the prince to punish him. However, Yuan Lu and Wang Kunpeng are old and sick, and I hope the prince will give them a little decent."

Yinzhen ignored it and said, "Go and get two station cages."

Standing in the cage? When Zhu Yanzhi and Hong Wanshan heard this, their faces turned pale immediately.

Zhu Yanzhi knelt down again and asked, "The prince thought twice, now is the critical moment, why bother offending others for small matters?"

"Go." Yinzhen said expressionlessly.

Shortly after Zhu Yanzhi left, Hong Wanshan also slipped out of the back door and ran to the gate to kneel down.

Soon, Yuan Lu and Wang Kunpeng were taken outside the gate of Guangde Garden. A group of merchants with kneeling numb knees were muttering in a low voice. When they saw that the two big men in merchants were arrested, they immediately realized that the 14th Prince, Prince Xun, had really moved this time, and they didn't dare to mutter, and they all began to worry about their own families.

Yuan Lu and Wang Kunpeng were indeed at home. After hearing the news that the 14th Prince, Prince Xun, was visiting the 13th businessmen, and they realized that Yinzhen wanted to establish his authority with the 13th businessmen. Both of them were just as mentally conscious. They relied on the tough backstage and hoped to avoid the limelight and come to the door to sue the crime, so as to save them from suffering. Unexpectedly, Yinzhen took out the king's banner and went to arrest people at home, and was immediately scared to death.

Yinzhen walked out after hearing the news. When Yuan Lu and Wang Kunpeng saw him coming out, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy. Yinzhen looked at the two of them coldly before asking: "Zhu Guanxian, be arrogant and despised the imperial envoy, what punishment should he be imposed?"

Zhu Yanzhi knew that Yinzhen was determined to establish his authority with the two, so he didn't say much at the moment, but just said blankly: "Punishment of the rod."

When everyone heard the punishment of the stick, their faces changed. Both of them were old, how many sticks could they have?

Yinzhen said expressionlessly: "When the two of them are old and weak, they should change to stand cages and not put bricks on them."

No bricks are allowed! The merchants just breathed a sigh of relief, but when they heard the last sentence, they fainted and two others were incontinent. They were not allowed to put bricks in the cage, and even a strong man could not last for an hour, let alone Yuan Lu, Wang Kunpeng, who was killing people without blood!
