Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    By the time Lin Hongzhong came out of the Governor's Mansion, it was already dark outside.

    The city gate of Zhaoqing had long been closed, so he had to stay in the city for one night and take a boat back to the provincial capital early the next morning.

    We went down the river very quickly and arrived at Baietan at dusk that day.  The boat hurriedly hurried and entered Guangzhou City through Xishui Gate before the city gate was locked.

    The journey was uneventful. He carefully considered the order of visits and made a long list of whom to visit first and who to visit later.  After landing, we prepared to follow the list and first visit Guangdong Zuobuzheng envoy Zhang Zihong tonight.

    He had a simple dinner at the merchant house, then took a small sedan to pay a visit to the Zhang Mansion in Sherenfang, Housherenfang, the Chief Secretary.

    Being able to visit at this time, naturally I have a close relationship with Zhang Fansi.  Lin Hongzhong also wanted to use this method to comfort his hurt heart.

    Who would have thought that the housekeeper of the Zhang Mansion came out of the flower hall and replied that the master was not at home.

    "Not at home?" Lin Hongzhong asked in surprise: "It's dark and you haven't come back yet?"

    The housekeeper looked at him helplessly, obviously the question was inappropriate, but he still replied: "The master asked for leave from the Yamen to meet old friends. He will be back in three to five days, or in one or two days. As for the length of time, it depends on  You¡¯ll have fun watching it for a while.¡±

    Lin Hongzhong took a look and said, okay, now we can¡¯t wait any longer.  He stood up helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll go back first. When your master comes back, please tell him that I have something important to discuss."

    The housekeeper glanced at the door bag he left on the coffee table, finally smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, I won't forget it."

    After coming out of Zhang Mansion, Lin Hongzhong rushed to the home of the second person on the list, Haidao Deputy Envoy Liu Wen.

    Although Mr. Liu is only a deputy envoy of the fourth rank, he is in charge of the coastal defense affairs of a province, as well as in charge of municipal shipping and barbarian affairs.  It can be said that he is the most powerful official in Guangdong. As long as he can help and say a few words, no matter how big the background of Jiangnan Group is, he must be given some face.

    Who would have thought that he would come again in good spirits and return in disgrace.  Deputy Ambassador Liu, who had high hopes, was not at home either.  After bribing the housekeeper, I found out that it was also a member of the church who had gone there

    When he visited the third provincial official, he was still not at home, and it was also a church member who went there, Lin Hongzhong finally realized that something was wrong.

    These senior officials from the provincial capital have made an appointment to meet friends, and 80% of them will meet with one person!

    What kind of good friend can be so attractive that he can lure away all these officials?

    He stood blankly on the dark street, looking up at the cloudy sky, thinking hard.

    He suddenly thought of Zhao Liben, the old man who had messed up his trip to Zhaoqing.  Could it be that he arrived in Guangzhou ahead of him and invited all the officials away?

    Lin Hongzhong suddenly remembered the "deep friendship" between Zhao Liben and the provincial officials the year before last. It was really possible!

    "This Zhao family is really perverted. It's just father and son fighting together, but they actually have three generations fighting together."  Even the flesh of the coffin is still haunting him.

    He suddenly felt that the stars in the sky looked like the old man blinking his little eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder.

    Yaoshou, what kind of trouble are you going to make?

    ??~~

    A hundred miles east of Guangzhou City, there is a place called Dongguan County.

    ?This place has beautiful scenery, abundant products, outstanding scenery, delicious food and beautiful people. It is also connected to the provincial capital by the Dongjiang River, making travel very convenient.

    Because the participants of the Haitian Feast are all prominent officials in the provincial capital, it is not easy to gather people in Yangcheng to do shameless things.  Therefore, in previous years, the Haitian Feast was held by boat on the Lion Ocean.

    But this year¡¯s situation is special. Pirates gather at the Pearl River Estuary. If any gang captures the fat sheep, it will become a big joke!

    When big shots go out to play, the three most important things are safety, safety, and safety!

    Therefore, this year¡¯s Haitian Feast will be held at a land island in the middle of the river called ¡®Jin¡¯aozhou¡¯, two miles southwest of Wancheng.  There is a vast Wubao on Jin'aozhou, which is the retirement manor of a high-ranking magistrate. The interior is naturally very luxurious.  Moreover, as is the custom in Guangdong, manors are built with high walls and watchtowers, with granaries and wells inside. Once the gate is closed, no one can open it.  It wouldn't be a problem for people inside to stay there for a year and a half.

    At this time, on Jin'aozhou, teams of well-dressed guards were patrolling outside the manor with lanterns and hounds on hand.

    The gate of the manor is closed, and the huge back garden is full of lights.  Lanterns and glass lamps of various colors are hung on the walls, under the eaves, and on the treetops. There are even countless water lanterns floating in the lotus pond, which makes it look like a nightless sky.

    On the brightly lit stage, there are actors acting seriously amidst the sound of music.

    Under the stage, everywhere in the gardenHearing this, they were overjoyed and expressed their intention to buy shares despite losing all their money.

    "The situation of Jiangnan Group is relatively complicated, and there is no plan to go public for the time being." Zhao Liben puffed out his words and said, "However, Jiangnan Group plans to establish a new Nanhai Group in our Guangdong Province. Now there is an opportunity to subscribe for original shares. I will help you win."  How many spots have been reached, are you interested?"

    "Will Nanhai Group also go public like Xishan Group?" Liu Wen asked nervously.

    "Of course." Zhao Liben said calmly: "And to put it bluntly, Xishan Group is just a coal seller, and its price can rise hundreds of times. Nanhai Group wants to monopolize all overseas trade of Ming Dynasty. How many times can it rise?  "

    Zhang Zihong, Liu Wen and others have all been with Lin Hongzhong for a long time, and they know more or less how profitable maritime trade is.  If they didn't make money, how could the people from Fo Lang come all the way to Ming Dynasty?  Do you want to trade even if you are a beggar?

    "That's nota thousand times?" Zhang Zihong asked in a trembling voice.

    "Stop talking." Zhao Liben nodded and said with great arrogance: "Whether you want to be a shareholder of Nanyang Group or a shareholder of Wuyang Commercial Hall, you can choose for yourself?!"
