C1195 Marshals injunction (1/2)
Normally, Jiu Shuai would be extremely kind to these Xiang Army Generals, when his older brother's energy was low, he would help some of the brothers to take care of some matters, thus, in the group of Xiang Army, Ceng Guoquan would often become Ceng Guofan's spokesperson.
The general was respectful to Jiu Shuai, and Ceng Guoquan was also very friendly to the generals. It was rare for him to give any face, but today, Jiu Shuai's expression was so dark that water was about to drip.
”Ai …” What else could happen? ”I don't know where this brother came from, but he actually wants to block the transfer of civilian property, and ban all the transfer of land, properties, factories, workshops, and other large industries in the Jiang-Nan region for two months!”
”AHH!” Everyone in the meeting room was in an uproar, ”How can we do that? Let's not talk about whether this decree is right or wrong. Such a huge responsibility is not something we can bear, right? ”Without the approval of the imperial government, how could we dare issue such a decree? This is a big taboo!”
Ceng Guoquan rubbed his temples in pain, ”Do you think I don't know? As the governor of the two rivers, as well as the representative of the military and political authority in Jiangnan, my brother has already been criticized as the King of Jiangnan by many of the people in the imperial court. Now that he has issued such a decree, isn't it obvious that he is doing it on purpose? ”
”Damn those Beijing s of the Beijing, they don't like us at all. When this decree is given, the entire Forbidden City will collapse! ”But I can't dissuade you …”
Xiang Army's men brought Bao Chao over to Jiu Shuai's side and whispered, ”Even if you can't, you have to! This was no longer a political dispute within the imperial government. It was more so a war for money! ”Breaking a person's road to wealth is like killing their parents. How can a marshal break a person's path to wealth?”
”Now that the Jiangnan paper money has fallen, how many workshops don't even have the cash to start their construction? Now is the time to make a fortune. You can buy countless industries with just a little money!”
”As far as I know, the foreign merchants in Shanghai have already made their move, and the senior officials of the Manchu sent by the imperial government have also begun their action … I heard that Ma Xinyi, who was sent to take over the position of governor of Two Rivers, did not do anything else but bring her subordinates to explore Jiangnan's properties. What do you think he wants to do?
Bao Chao's words received the approval of everyone. They all said, ”That's right, there are countless people who want to eat this fat of Jiangnan right now, whoever has the silver is the ancestor, one silver can be used as much as ten taels of silver as usual. If you don't take the chance and eat this now, you won't be a fool …”
”Jiu Shuai! Brothers, we will not lie to you. In this Notes crisis, we have suffered a great loss on our southern ticket, we are just waiting for you guys to spend some money to buy some industrial subsidies … [The brothers are having a tough time with the marshal!]
Ceng Guoquan was upset by all of this talk, so he scolded softly, ”What's the use of forcing me? His big brother is now obsessed with magic, we will listen to Xiao Letian, who do you think was the one to come up with this rotten idea? Wasn't it because Ryukyu sent a secret message, that Big Bro started to mess around! ”
”F * ck!” It was this bastard again! Do we owe him the Xiang Army? Why does it go on and on endlessly? ”Not many good things have happened, let's take care of everything else …”
”No, Jiu Shuai, you have to take the lead and talk about the Great Marshal, we can't sink together with the Ryukyu! On what basis is big guy giving up his job? ”
In fact, Ceng Guoquan's rebellious heart had already calmed down. Ever since the heart and soul conversation between him and his brother, he knew that the good time for Zeng Family to rebel was already long gone, or perhaps he had never come here before.
With his age, even if he wanted to rebel, there was no time.
