"Sir, this is the result of our investigation during this period." Zhang Xinhua is a flag chief under Tang Tong. The recent counterattack against Hu Mengfei, Gao Yingxiang and others was led by him. During the counterattack against these actions against the Tang family caravan, Zhang Xinhua also investigated the truth behind this series of events.
"Oh, this Hu Mengfei is quite capable." Tang Tong took a look at the investigation report handed to him by Zhang Xinhua. He was still somewhat impressed by Hu Mengfei, who provoked the incident. You know, the strength in Tang Tong's hands now is quite huge for a businessman. Naturally, he would not take a salt merchant from Huizhou seriously. Even Gao Yingxiang, who was not yet of great significance, was not taken seriously by Tang Tong.
"Sir, what should we do?" Zhang Xinyu asked when he saw Tang Tong put down the investigation report.
"Well, first, stop our Tang family caravan from doing business with the area occupied by Gao Yingxiang. Second, increase the crackdown on those gangsters and gangs who refuse to surrender to us. Third, cut off all routes from Huizhou to the outside. Our Tang family fleet is on the waterway. On land, you have people notify those green forest heroes bordering Huizhou. No matter whether the caravan is entering Huizhou or leaving Huizhou, rob them all. But tell them to try not to kill anyone. If they do well, our Tang family caravan will have a reward. I want to see what else this Hu Mengfei can do." Tang Tong didn't think much about it and gave the order casually.
"Sir, why don't you just wipe out the Hu family? With our strength, it's easy to pretend to be bandits and destroy them." Zhang Xinyu has been with Tang Tong for nearly a year now, and he can be considered a close confidant. He was a little puzzled by Tang Tong's laborious arrangement and couldn't help asking.
"Talents are hard to come by. I only have Xu Yehua by my side to give me advice, but Xu Yehua is not good at conspiracies. It seems that Hu Mengfei is a person who is very good at plotting, so I want to give him another try. Sometimes, bad guys also have their uses." Tang Tong sighed slightly. Dayuer and Hailanzhu are both very wise people, but it's a pity that these two people have surrendered to Tang Tong on the surface, but in fact they are not paying attention to giving Tang Tong advice. The girl Liu Rushi is also a talent, and her IQ is definitely very high, but Liu Rushi is too young and has little experience, and cannot take on the heavy responsibility.
When Zhang Xin heard Tang Tong say this, he was moved by Tang Tong's thirst for talent. He thought that if he followed such a lord, his future would be limitless. He kept Tang Tong's instructions in mind and said goodbye to Tang.
"Master, you are such a kind person." Dayuer said something meaningful after Zhang Xinyu left. Regarding these matters related to the Tang family's army, Tang Tong did not avoid the women in the family. Instead, he brought Dayuer, Hailanzhu, and Liu Rushi with him to cultivate their military and political talents.
Chen Yuxian at home manages the Tang family's factories, and Hong Niangzi manages the Tang family's caravans. They both hold great power, but as Tang Tong's power grows, he has higher goals. Those who can help Tang Tong in the future must be people with administrative talents. Moreover, Tang Tong's power has grown to its current scale, forcing Tang Tong to recruit more talents to help him manage it.
"Merciful? Dayu'er, and Hailanzhu, I know you are dissatisfied with me. I think you haven't thought some things through clearly. You think it's a disadvantage to be a maid beside me, but it's glorious to follow that Huang Taiji, right? You'd better think about it carefully. What great things can the tens of thousands of Jiannu people do? Think about it clearly first." Tang Tong felt depressed when he thought that Dayu'er had not served him wholeheartedly until now. What he wanted was not just their beauty, but their talents. If he just wanted beautiful women, there were plenty in the Ming Dynasty.
When Dayuer heard Tang Tong say this, she felt a little resentful. No matter what, she was a concubine by Huang Taiji's side, but not even a concubine by Tang Tong's side. Dayuer and Hailanzhu thought even further. If Tang Tong won the world in the future, they were afraid that they would not even be able to get the status of a concubine, let alone the position of queen. With their ambitions, how could they be willing to accept this?
After Tang Tong finished speaking, he went to deal with the official business. Liu Rushi obediently stepped forward to help. Dayu'er and Hailanzhu were silent for a while, and then they began to help Tang Tong sort out the official business. In any case, Tang Tong was much bolder than Huang Taiji and his men in letting women interfere in government affairs, and he was not afraid of women taking control of the government in the future. However, Dayu'er and Hailanzhu did not know that Tang Tong, as a person from later generations, had the governance methods of later generations. If he really won the world one day, he would naturally have a set of methods and would not be afraid of women taking control of the government. The little power in Tang Tong's hands was still far from that goal, so Tang Tong naturally had no need to say these things.
Tang Tong did not take the Huizhou salt merchant Hu Mengfei seriously, but he did not know that although these salt merchant families were far inferior to Tang Tong in terms of military power, the power passed down from generation to generation in the officialdom was very great. After Hu Mengfei was defeated in military power, he set his sights on the officials in the court, especially the greedy eunuchs.
Wang Chengen was the most trusted eunuch of Emperor Chongzhen. Although the eunuchs' power now was not as great as that of Wei Zhongxian, the power they possessed should not be underestimated. As a eunuch trusted by Emperor Chongzhen, Wang Chengen had great power. Those first-rank officials of the dynasty had to respectfully call him Eunuch Wang when they saw him.
