Chapter 823： Have ulterior motives!

Jinling, Liuhe, and now Liuhe has become one of the busiest terminals in Jiangnan. There are countless cargoes passing through Liuhe through the north and south of the river every day.

Every day, Liuhe Wharf is full of hundreds of rivers, from southern Lingnan and even South Vietnam, from the northern capital, the extreme north and even Beiyan merchants gathered here, Jiangnan is the world's most prosperous land, the food produced in the south of the Yangtze River , Salt, pig iron, tea, ceramics and other items are transported to all parts of the country by large ships, and various goods from Lingnan, Nanyue, and the north are also transported to Jiangnan by ship.

Jiangnan is rich, and the rare things in the world will not be sold when they arrive in Jiangnan. This is the reason why Jiangnan can attract merchants from all over the world, and Liuhe Wharf is the most concentrated place of merchants in the world, because it is the most convenient and at the same time. The cheapest waterway transportation channel.

For local merchants in Jiangnan, Liuhe Wharf also has an extremely important position. Many elderly people know that this wharf was not very famous before. It is because of one person that Liuhe really stood out from Jinling. This person is now Dakang Liaodong. Wang Luzheng.

Liuhe Wharf was set up by Lu Zheng. The first wharf was also under the control of Lu Zheng. At present, many of the important merchants in Liuhe Wharf are closely related to Lu Zheng. Therefore, when Shandong and Liuhe are between Shandong and Liuhe After the waterway of Shandong was completely cleared, the boats from Shandong entering and leaving Liuhe Wharf did not cause much disturbance, but on the surface it was calm and calm, after all, there were still people with intentions.

You must know that all the ships from Shandong are large ships with a hundred feet, and there are more than a dozen ships entering and leaving the port at the same time. There are continuous large ships entering the port for a month. The grain in the port is piled up like a mountain. This grain transport brigade is comparable to the Jiangnan water transport in the past. busy.

When this situation lasted for two months, the boy who had been guarding the situation in Liuhe himself let out a sigh of relief. Two months is the time. Five hundred thousand shi of grain has been transported from the south of the Yangtze River to the north. This 500,000 shi of grain has been transported to Liaodong, which is enough for the army of Liaodong for a year!

With this batch of grains, Liaodong was barely able to resist this year's famine. Then Liaodong will use the strategy of distant and close offensive, and the situation in Liaodong will gradually stabilize.

Liuhe Wharf, an upper room near the river in Fuyun Building. Inside sits a Confucian student wearing a long gown and holding a folding fan. The Confucian student looks ordinary and does not look like a rich family, but there are two standing behind him. The burly man with strong costumes, the two eyes are as sharp as electricity, there is an unspeakable deterrent between Gu and Pan, and they are not ordinary people at first glance.

"I know that Liuhe Wharf is bustling with fourth son, but it is said that the wharf has mainly transported grain recently, and these grains have been transported to the north! This way, if all the grain in the south of the Yangtze River is transported, what should the people of the south of the Yangtze River eat Well? I also need to raise soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. Isn't it possible for you to achieve this point without thinking?" the middle-aged scholar said lightly.

Tuo Si is an old man over fifty years old. The old man is wearing a short robe and is not tall. He looks like an ordinary old man. Hearing what the scholar said, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Dong, this is a misunderstanding! About this. The fourth child did not find anything unusual! Jiangnan produces grain, and every year there is always a lot of grain shipped from our Liuhe Wharf, some are shipped to the north, and some go to the south!

Merchants are all motivated by profit. Last year, there was a severe famine in the north. It is estimated that food prices are also high. It coincides with the recent spring season. It is normal to transport more food to the north. I wonder why Mr. Dong asked such questions! "

Dong Yong sneered and said, "Really? But as far as I know, this Liuhe Wharf was first set up by Lu Zheng. On the wharf, all the businessmen with a little face have something to do with Lu Zheng. I know that a lot of boats have been built recently. It’s from Shandong! Shandong’s boats come to Jiangnan to transport grain, and the traffic is very frequent! It seems that our Jiangnan has become the largest grain transport base in Shandong! Do you know that the fourth son?"

Tuo Si was taken aback for a moment, his face turned pale, and he shook his head and said, "This...I don't know! Our businessmen don't know these big people, and our freight has never had anything to do with them!

Besides, what happened at Liuhe Wharf that year has become a cloud of smoke in the past. Now the three teachings and nine liu on our wharf have obeyed General Su. Who would dare to disobey General Su's order?

However, since the beginning of this year, I have waited for the dock to respond as usual, and the general has not given any orders to the dock, so I am so grateful for this! The general is a generous person. He knows that it is not easy for people on the dock to ask for a living. I will also have a bite to eat. The women and children in a house need to be supported by us, Mr. Dong, is that the truth? "

Dong Yong laughed loudly and said, "Okay, very good, alright, fourth child, I'm here to go shopping today, but for a little chat, don't take it seriously. Okay, you can go if it's okay, and I'll continue walking alone. Go, take a look!"

The fourth son’s goodbye, the Confucian's face instantly became very ugly. The entourage behind him leaned forward and said: "Mr. Dong, a merchant with the surname Yao is so rude to her husband, or I will grab him, Give him a little color and see, let him know your weight, sir!"

The middle-aged Confucian student shook his head lightly, and said, "Forget it, didn't you hear? Liuhe is the site of the Su family, what am I waiting for? At least in the hearts of the Su family, I don't have much weight with Dong Yong! Okay, I Jiangnan's renunciation of Germany gives Shandong an opportunity! Lu Zheng is really good at it. I think he cannot last in Liaodong. He must stir up disputes, because Liaodong can't support them!

This time I missed it. He was able to transport grain from the south of the Yangtze River, and there is nothing we can do about it. Hey, your Majesty’s country is precarious! "

"Mr. Dong, why is this? The enmity between the Su family and Lu Zheng is not small, especially Su Zhi is especially afraid of Lu Zheng. Under these circumstances, why didn't Mr. Dong go to see Su Zhi and make it clear. I believe Su Zhi Zhi must be able to order a thorough investigation of the Liuhe Wharf. At that time, I believe that shipping in the north will be difficult to smoothly flow! Lu Zheng will no longer be able to get our Jiangnan food!"

Dong Yong closed his eyes slightly and said nothing for a while! He is a very deep-minded person. He sees everything in the Jiangnan situation. For him, Shandong matters are important, but the most important thing is that Long Zhaohuan must first have power.

Long Zhaohuan claimed that the emperor was not so much a hit with Su Zhi, as it was because of Dong Yong's instigation. Dong Yong had his ambitions, and he wanted to realize his ambitions through Long Zhaohuan.
