    As Liu Wengu spoke, he looked at Su Tongfu with burning eyes.  "It is easy to die generously, but difficult to bear a heavy burden calmly." Su Tongfu pondered, his eyes changed slightly, and he looked at Liu Wengu suspiciously.  Although he was entrusted by Zhao Xingde to serve as the director of Zhengxin Hall.  However, because of Deng Su's old friend and the kindness of saving lives and finding opportunities, Su Tongfu has been very dedicated to the Hebei Bonds since he took office. The amount of money raised by the Hebei Bonds far exceeds that of the Nanhai Bonds.  In this regard, Zhao Xingde never said a word to blame, nor did he interfere too much.  The arrest of the South China Sea fleet caused a sharp decline in Hebei bonds. Su Tongfu initially complained that Zhao Xingde was biased towards Xia Guo, which caused Zhengxintang to suffer. However, when he thought about it carefully, he found that things were not that simple.  In such a short period of time, with such a huge momentum, it is impossible to say that there is no one behind it.  Last time Princess Wu paid for the money, but this time the troublemakers simply poured dirty water on Zhao Xingde and Princess Wu, putting Princess Wu under suspicion.  Su Tongfu thought about it and sent people to inquire about the news. He finally confirmed that it was the gentry from the south who were dissatisfied with the imperial government's forced sale of land in Hebei. The gentry from the southeast, dissatisfied with the slowness of the Northern Expedition, stood by and looked on, and also added insult to injury.  To the world, he, Su Tongfu, was not a member of the officialdom, but now he was like a lonely man.  "Master Zhao said that the death of Duke Minghuan in Bianliang was a regret in his life, but it cannot be repeated. Master Su, please think twice." Liu Wengu took a step forward and made a gesture to the soldiers behind his back.  The eight soldiers spread out in a semicircle, faintly "protecting" Su Tongfu.  These soldiers, who came from Zhao Xingdeya barracks, usually protected the princess and had survived hundreds of battles, each stepped forward with their own troops, and the evil spirit spread out. They were not comparable to the Yamen servants in the Zhengxin Hall and the Xiang army. If they wanted to take Su Tongfu away by force, they would not be the same.  Those scribes and shopkeepers can stop it.  Zhao Xingde issued a military order in a secret letter to Liu Wengu. The storm Zhengxintang encountered this time was caused by him. If there was a big chaos, even if Su Tongfu disagreed, his life must be saved. Otherwise, he would not kill Boren.  , Boren died because of it.  Although Liu Wengu also sympathized with those who lost everything in the stock market turmoil, he firmly believed that everything Zhao Xingde did was for the people of the world. Therefore, when Zhao Xingde asked him to save Su Tongfu's life as much as possible, he did not hesitate to choose  The elite came to the rescue.  The surrounding clerks at Zhengxintang didn¡¯t know what was going on, and they just looked at Liu Wengu and several others in confusion.  Su Tongfu was silent for a while, and finally raised his head. He looked around and sighed: "I will listen to Mr. Liu's arrangements." "Okay!" Liu Wengu said solemnly, "Then I have wronged Mr. Su." He waved his hand,  The soldiers came forward together, hugged Su Tongfu and walked toward the backyard of Zhengxin Hall.  There is a drainage channel in the backyard of Zhengxintang that leads to the outside. Because the exit is in a back alley, no one usually pays attention to it.  At this moment, the outside of Zhengxin Hall was surrounded by a rioting crowd. Liu Wengu and the soldiers entered Zhengxin Hall through this drainage canal. At this time, they also took Su Tongfu out through the drainage canal.  There was an unmarked sedan parked deep in the alley. After Su Tongfu got on, he hurriedly got up and left. He transferred to a two-horse carriage outside the city. Before sunset, Liu Wengu escorted Su Tongfu into the naval camp at Guazhoudu.  Not long after they left Zhengxin Hall, the rioters rushed into Zhengxin Hall, looking for Su Tongfu but not finding any silver. They smashed open several shops near Zhengxin Hall and set fire to him.  To vent their anger, fortunately, the Xiang army sent by Yangzhou Prefecture finally arrived belatedly. Before the fire spread, the Xiang army's water dragon team stopped the spread of the fire.  On this day, the whole of Yangzhou was filled with restlessness and the smell of fireworks.  Xiao Qi returned home in a state of confusion. Looking at the worried eyes of his wife and sister, he regretted so much that he wanted to die.  "What on earth did I do?" He looked at his hands and thought regretfully, "It's over, even if the government doesn't pursue the case, this Zhengxintang collapsed, who will be in charge of Hebei Securities in the future?" Xiao Qi  I have been making a living in the world of martial arts all my life, and I can be said to be well-informed. Looking back now, I realize that things are not that simple. A commoner like me is afraid of being used as a gunman. However,  , There is no regret in the world after taking medicine. Facing the questioning looks of his wife and sister, he just asked a question without knowing anything. He explained everything that happened during the day and only said that he would go to Zhengxintang to try his luck and see if he could exchange Hebei coupons.  I returned some cash, but I didn't expect to encounter a big chaos, so I took shelter in a small shop, which delayed my return home.  "His words were hesitant, and Xiao Shiniang and his sister-in-law couldn't help but not believe them. They just hoped that the gods and Buddhas would bless them and that they would lose money and eliminate disasters.  After experiencing a day full of turmoil, this night is destined to be a sleepless night for many people.  "These guys are really cruel. If Su Tongfu hadn't run so fast, he would have been beaten to death on the spot."In a quiet Qi Chu Pavilion at the head of the building, a middle-aged shopkeeper opened the door and said with a smile: "Are these people crazy? Burning the Zhengxin Hall and destroying the account books doesn't mean that there is no evidence? If you want to  If you default on the debt, it will be easier to default on the debt. Zhengxintang is just a paper frame. Everyone in the Song Dynasty is selfish, but Su Tongfu is the only one who never forgets to maintain this word of "faith". Okay, now drive Su Tongfu away.  , let¡¯s see who dares to take over this mess.¡± As he said this, he took out a stack of coupons from his sleeve, spread them out on the table, shook his head and said, ¡°I don¡¯t know what the higher-ups are thinking. Although it¡¯s cheap, it¡¯s actually a pile of waste paper.  , what's the use of buying it back? Lao Yan and Lao Tang were unlucky because the Nanhai fleet was requisitioned. Coupled with this large expenditure, I'm afraid the head office will not be able to survive. At the end of the year, the dividends to the top will definitely be very high.  It¡¯s ugly, and we are said to be incompetent. Oh, it¡¯s really hard to do.¡± The middle-aged shopkeeper complained, poured himself a bowl of ginseng tea, drank it with a slurp, and said with a smile, ¡°But you really deserve it.  Look at the faces of those people. As soon as they heard that we also accept Hebei coupons, they all came to the door like a cat that saw something fishy. Some of them just wanted to offer me incense and kneel down on the spot. Hey, that¡¯s okay, Old Tang  After going to sea, the business in this area became less popular and there were fewer connections. This large amount of money opened up the situation in Yangzhou. "The middle-aged shopkeeper said to himself, and the older man sitting opposite him didn't.  Ignore it.  He carefully counted the Hebei bonds on the table before nodding and saying: "Two million and three hundred thousand dollars, good work. I will collect more in the next few days, and keep a low profile so as not to attract attention." Middle-aged  The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded in agreement, and secretly reminded himself that after Mr. Tang Qiantang went to sea with the Nanhai Fleet, Fuhai Bank Yangzhou Branch was handed over to him. He couldn't help but feel a little complacent, but he must not offend this big shot sent by the head office.  The head office specially sent this old shopkeeper to arrange the secret purchase of Hebei coupons. He also specifically told the shopkeepers in the southeast area to listen to the arrangement. There must be deep meaning. Just work hard yourself, so there is no need to talk too much.  The middle-aged shopkeeper reported the matter of purchasing Hebei coupons at a low price, and then resigned knowingly.  The old shopkeeper Mo Yuzhai put away the contracts, took out a piece of paper, and wrote a few sentences with a stylus.  After the ink was dry, he sealed it in a reed tube and sealed it with wax. Then he called his followers and sent them to Luoyang in dove letters.  Not long after, three gray pigeons flapped their wings and flew out of Fuhai Tower. Mo Yuzhai put his hands behind his hands and watched the shadow of the pigeons disappear into the night sky. He just sat back at his desk and thought to himself. "The boss" only told Fuhaixing to go all out to buy the Hebei coupons.  The whole story was not explained.  But Mo Yuzhai could guess some from what he knew.  Although the Andong Military Division and the Anbei Military Division followed the Song Dynasty's request, they did not directly send troops to participate in the Hebei Campaign.  The powerful figures in Dunhuang, Chang'an, and Luoyang have never forgotten the great cause of unifying Guandong in the past.  "What does it mean to have hundreds of millions of coins? Even us people are just flying eagles and lackeys." Mo Yuzhai shook his head secretly, and couldn't help but be a little jealous of the shipowners of the South China Sea fleet. Although it looked like the sky was falling outside.  However, he knew clearly how much wealth Zhao Xingde would bring in the future by granting the expropriated South China Sea fleet the right to sail and trade west of Longzhu Island.  Among all the big shopkeepers of Fuhaihang, there is no one who doesn¡¯t think that we should seize this opportunity first. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, China.  Judging from the military orders issued by the General¡¯s Office, the military situation in the river is urgent. Therefore, as long as it is not windy and there are no reefs in the nearby sea, the Southwest Sea Fleet will only sail at a slightly reduced speed at night.  All the sailors were divided into three shifts and took turns to go up to the deck and climb the mast.  The atmosphere of the discussion on the rear deck of each ship also became much more solemn. There seemed to be an invisible barrier between Officer Xia and Officer Song. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, everyone even reached a certain tacit understanding.  These days, what the officers of many warships talk about most is not the war situation in various places, not the military books, not the justice of the Five Classics, but the music of various places.  It was a quiet night, and after Zhao Xingde inspected the deck, he returned to his aft cabin.  Although the sailing was calm these days, in order to appease the mood of the fleet officers and soldiers, as well as the merchants and sailors who were drafted, he remained calm on the surface, but he was mentally and physically exhausted on the inside. Fortunately, Zhou He, Gao Su, Liu Zhijian and others came to the rescue at the critical moment.  In the end, she still stood by his side. The Navy was not deviated from top to bottom and was still a complete Navy!  Zhao Xingde took off his saber, sat on the desk, rubbed his temples a little tiredly, and picked up a collection of essays. This was a collection of essays on the South China Sea compiled by naval officers themselves. The title of the book was Feng Mi's invitation to Zhao Xingde.  The topic was submitted to Zhao Xingde when he was on Longzhu Island. However, there were many disputes on Longzhu Island. After being busy for more than a month, Zhao Xingde had the energy to read through this collection of papers.  Author: The second update is delivered as promised.
