Chapter 382: Glory and wealth

The orders were sent to Jiaozhi one by one, and the Hao family immediately received good news.

After hearing the concession, Hao Zheng was quite calm. In his opinion, this was just a positive signal in the palace, and it was obviously the emperor who was unwilling to pursue the fleeing household.

But in Hao Fenglou's opinion, it was very different. Of course, he knew that the Hao family was really going to develop.

Lang Son has this today simply because he has exploited loopholes in the "national policy". However, taking advantage of loopholes is still illegal. If the court does not pay attention to today, it does not mean that the court will not pay attention to tomorrow. This is a bit like a city in later generations. It was originally just a small fishing port, but because of wars everywhere, it attracted a large number of wealth and refugees. In order to avoid risks, the wealth of a huge country flocked to this palm-sized city. At present, the war in Annan was in chaos, and the Ming Dynasty imprisoned merchants, which led to Lang Son's rapid prosperity.

With this license, Hao Fenglou could almost predict what would happen next.

In fact, when the license is issued, Lang Son immediately issued a document for all prefectures and counties, and ordered people to post documents everywhere, which was nothing more than warning the governments along the way not to intercept merchants coming to Lang Son. To ensure the business path, the Hao family would send people to visit everywhere. Anyone who makes things difficult for merchants and draws the tax on the checkpoints must not impeach or report them.

The Shenwu Guard started to operate quickly and arranged eyeliners everywhere. Soon, a horrifying news came to Lang Son.

In Yanjiang Pass, Nanning, there was a merchant passing by this place. Because he was heading to Lang Son, he did not provide a road guide. However, when he arrived at the checkpoint, he was intercepted by officers and soldiers and denounced him as a bandit. He had a bad intention, not only detained the goods, but also took the people.

The news arrived in Lang Son early the next morning, and it didn't take long before the Hao family took action.

He sent the Guangxi Provincial Administration and the Commander-in-Chief Office in Nanning to the Guangxi Provincial Government and the Commander-in-Chief Office in Nanning. Hao Zheng almost told the story of this matter in a reproachful tone. Even the names of the detained merchants, the soldiers who intercepted him, and even the garrison officers on duty on that day were all unconventional and could be clearly stated.

The commander-in-chief of Guangxi Zeng Yan, holding this hot official document, couldn't help but smile bitterly.

He is indeed in charge of all the checkpoints, and all the officers and soldiers of the 13 Guangxi guards are under his control. The court's attitude of raising soldiers is to distribute land to everyone. The rest are allowed to die for yourself.

However, this place in Guangxi is different from other places. The land is barren. Although each guard has land, it is still difficult in the end. Therefore, the checkpoints of each guard have become the target of everyone's teeth sacrifice. This is a matter of command. He was too lazy to pay attention to it, not to mention that each guard has obtained some of the benefits and waters from there, so he had to offer some. Therefore, Zeng Yan has always been indulgent about this.

But now, when the imperial edict came out, there was a little turbulence here, and the Hao family immediately stamped their feet. Zeng Yan was so angry that she vomited blood and called an assistant to scold him, "Who leaked the news? Why do they even know the guards and soldiers who took action? Now, they are going to ask for someone, hum... I have said a long time ago, you need to be restrained, and don't give someone a handle. What do you say now?"

The assistant smiled bitterly and said, "There is no way to Liu Shoujie. So many brothers..."

Zeng Yan's face calmed down a little, and then threw the official document aside and said lightly: "This matter must be arguing with the Hao family. Forget it, it is useless to say more."

In fact, he was not very worried. He was just a verbal battle. He just gave him some face and said a few good words. He was just a businessman and it was no big deal.

But next, Zeng Yan knew that things were not as simple as that.

Because next time, the Guangxi Provincial Administrative Office came to inquire, and the official documents from Guilin were also very tough, which was quite meaningful to provoke a military force to question the crime.

Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with the Guangxi Provincial Administration Commission. The three departments are already mutually restricted, and the Provincial Administration Commission is eager to take some handles to show his authority.

Zeng Yan naturally just snorted coldly. In his opinion, it was nothing more than the governor and the general secretary who wanted to show his presence.

However, when the sub-schedule commander was impeached, Zeng Yan realized the seriousness of the problem.

The Hao family, the governor and the imperial envoy, these three irrelevant things actually got together. What's even more miserable is that when a person appeared in the commander-in-chief's office, Zeng Yan was completely scared.

The headline was the personal army, all wearing Qilin suits, which scared the soldiers outside the door so much that they didn't dare to show up. Anyone knew that a escort was the same as the rank of the officials in the yamen. Everyone would tremble. Especially in places like Guangxi, there were no big names usually coming, and the eunuch who appeared immediately looked more like a legendary figure.

Zheng He was sick and had a little cold. Although it was in this hot weather, he was still wearing a red cloak and came out of the sedan chair, coughed a few times, raised his eyes, but did not enter the yamen.

The people inside had already reported it. Zeng Yan didn't know where the other party came from, but she still came out to greet her obediently.

As soon as he saw Zheng He, Zeng Yan immediately knew who this person was.

Zeng Yan was actually from Jingnan, otherwise it would be impossible to entrust important tasks. How could he not know who Eunuch Zheng is? This is a great celebrity in front of His Majesty and a person with a lot of friendship with many Jingnan ministers.

Zeng Yan hurriedly squeezed out a smile and was about to say a few polite words. Zheng He smiled and said, "Mr. Zeng, now he is the commander of this city. What a great power?"

Zeng Yan hurriedly said, "Where, where, I don't know my father-in-law is coming from afar..."

Zheng He waved his hand, coughed again, and then said, "Stop these things. Our family is asking about something. After asking, leave. Are you from Peking? Your Majesty has entrusted you here, so he trusts you. Since you trust you, why are you disrespectful to resist the order? Do you know what the consequences of disrespectful to resist the order? Our family has listened to many things about you along the way. Could it be that you regard Guangxi as your forbidden body? Do you think of whatever you want?"

Zeng Yan immediately turned as if he was earthy and said quickly: "The humble person has always been the rule..."

"Rules? You don't know the rules? Now that something happens, you are still as if nothing is wrong. Just as this decree is issued, you are like this. It's too rampant. Let me tell you the truth. Many memorials are waiting now. If we hadn't sold our family for a favor, we would have sent it to the capital. Think about it yourself. How many brains do you have and dare to protect the officers and soldiers who know the law and break the law? Well, our family still has to go to Langsan and to go to coastal defense. If you don't have time to talk to you, you don't have to use any words to make excuses. Even if you have any bitterness, it's useless to be with our family. If you have the ability, you go to Nanjing and Governor Lu of the Governor of the Five Army Governor's Office. Then Governor Lu is Taishan of Hao Fenglou. If you have the ability, you go to Mr. Yao to fall. That's Hao Fenglou's mentor, and Mr. Xu, and even King Zhao. You're busy, our family is gone."

After Zheng He said this, he didn't say anything else. He bent back to the sedan chair and took a group of people away.

Zeng Yan was stunned. In fact, he knew Hao Fenglou's energy, but he didn't expect that the Hao family would make such a big fuss for a merchant. This was obviously to use all the relationships to make him die without a place to die.

Zeng Yan no longer cared about anything else at this time. It was obviously not the time to fight. He gritted his teeth and called a kid-in official and said murderously: "Immediately send someone to take Liu Xi, the garrison of Yanjiang Pass, and all the officers and soldiers involved, and immediately release them into Beijing after taking them. As for the wronged merchants, I will let you go immediately. If anyone dares to imitate Liu Xi in the future, I will never let you go. Your Majesty has already issued a license. Whoever dares to make things difficult for me will be unable to get along with me. I will notify the guards and make me angry. I will kill people."

He scolded him in the face and then gave up.

At the same time, at Yanjiang Pass, the local garrison was directly demanded by a team of personal soldiers who rushed from Nanning, and at the same time, more than a dozen officers and soldiers were taken. As for the merchant, he not only returned the goods, but fortunately he comforted him. The merchant was frightened and pointed at his family members to save his family's wealth. Faced with the sudden change, his mind had not turned around.

Immediately afterwards, Guangxi, even Hunan and Guangdong, the garrisons stationed in various guards became honest at this time. Obviously, the news was too tight. If one was not good, it might be Liu Xi's fate. Although those guards, thousands of households and hundreds of households were also greedy, they really did not have to get along with their own heads. Many people privately rumored that the Hao family had arranged a lot of eyeliners, and if there was any slight disturbance, they could be grasped immediately.

Therefore, everyone could only turn a blind eye to the merchants who went to Lang Son, but everyone had to eat, so they could not always point to the acres of military fields to barely make up for food and clothing. So, these people began to play their specialty again. Anyone who went to other places to sell goods would have to peel them a few more layers of skin so that they could fill the gap in Lang Son.

But what they could not have imagined was that this action was fueling the fire, making the merchants no longer dare to sell goods and go through other checkpoints. The goods sold on Lang Son were originally extremely profitable, but now they are tax-free, so there is no need to worry and be afraid. Almost all merchants gave up other business channels without hesitation and focused on going to Lang Son.

Lang Son is naturally more lively. In the past, there were more and more business trips. The inns that were originally full of inns were full day and night. Countless people with money were almost like crazy buying shops. Everyone knows that as long as you open the door to Lang Son, doing business is like this inn. No matter how you open it, no matter how much you stay here, the price of staying here for one night is twice or three times that of other places, even if you are a fool, you can have a prosperous business.
