The Shipping Trade Guild felt severely humiliated after being rejected by the Jingguo Mansion that day. How could they let it go?

After discussion, Wu Tian and others came up with a plan to deal with the Jingguo Mansion.

Wu Tian put down the teacup.

He stood up and looked at the dozen or so boatmen who were "invited" here, with a smile on his face, and said, "Everyone, do you recognize me?"

"Of course I know you, President Wu!"

"I wonder why you invited us here?"

The boatmen were very cautious.

Wu Tian's name is well-known among boatmen.

He was overbearing and all ships sailing in Lin'an had to follow his rules.

If you don't listen to him, he will always find ways to punish you.

Sometimes his words are more effective than those of the government.

Wu Tian gave Chen Biao a look.

Bang!

There was a box on the table. When it was opened, it was filled with silver ingots.

Wu Tian narrowed his eyes and smiled, saying, "I invited you all here tonight for only one thing."

"From now on, your ships can no longer transport any building materials or supplies to the Jingguo Mansion!"

"what?"

The boatmen were surprised.

"why?"

"Yes!"

They make a lot of money every day by delivering goods to the Jingguo Mansion. Can Wu Tian ask them to stop with just one sentence?

Even if Wu Tian is an industry bully.

Everyone will have some complaints.

Wu Tian said calmly: "If you are willing to listen to me, I will compensate you for your losses, one hundred taels per person!"

A young ship owner said dissatisfiedly: "What if you don't listen?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't listen!"

Wu Tian said with a smile: "Everyone, make your own choice. I, Wu, will not force you!"

The young ship owner cupped his hands and said, "I'm sorry, I signed an agreement with the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion, and I can't break it casually!"

Wu Tian looked at him and said, "Young man, be trustworthy. OK! Go ahead!"

Chapter 232 [Black Pearl] sets sail, and presents Zhu Yuyan with the "Devil Disintegration Method"!

Under night!

Lin'an Pier!

See the young ship owner leave.

Several ship owners looked at each other, bowed and left.

Not everyone respects Wu Tian.

Many small boat owners have long been dissatisfied with the Shipping Trade Guild in private, but they are powerless and dare not speak out.

The ship owners gathered together and discussed: "Wu Tian is narrow-minded and vindictive. We should leave tonight!"

"it is good!"

"Go? Where do you want to go?"

Suddenly.

At the anchorage, a fire was lit and a team of officers were waiting there.

A middle-aged official with a pale face said, "These people are smuggling salt. Arrest them all and seize their ships!"

"Private salt? Impossible!"

"How can we sell illegal salt?"

"Injustice!"

Selling illegal salt and iron was a serious crime punishable by confiscation of property, exile, or even death.

In the distance, Wu Tian watched this scene and smiled coldly.

"I haven't taken action for a long time!"

"It makes people forget how I started my business!"

The Shipping Trade Guild, rooted in Lin'an, had already been well organized from top to bottom.

It would be difficult for him to take action against the Duke Jingguo's Mansion.

But dealing with a few small boat owners, wouldn't that be easy?

"It's just right. Let's take this opportunity to regulate Lin'an's shipping industry, so that no one forgets what the rules are!"

And this scene did not only happen in Lin'an.

Along the Taihu Lake and the Yangtze River.

They appeared wherever there were shipping guilds.

The construction materials and various supplies that should have been sent to the Duke Jingguo's Mansion were either burned or confiscated by clerks along the way.

Duke Jingguo’s Mansion!

Ah Zhu and Zhao Shirong arrived one after another and reported the matter to Zhao Wuxian.

Azhu and Sheng Yayu received the information at the first time and sent Wanwan to lead people to conduct a detailed investigation.

Zhao Shirong is responsible for shipping and shipbuilding matters.

She has been keeping an eye on the Ship Trade Guild.

Zhao Wuxian smiled, not in a hurry, and said to Zhao Shirong: "What do you think we should do now?"

Zhao Shirong frowned and said, "In my opinion, we should first rescue the ship owner who was captured by the government!"

“Then, we will communicate with local officials and ask them to release the ship.”

Zhao WuXian asked, "Where is the Ship Trade Guild?"

"As long as the local officials speak up, the shipping trade guild won't dare to act recklessly, right?" Zhao Shirong said.

Zhao WuXian smiled and shook his head, saying, "The Ship Trade Guild is deeply rooted in their territory. How can you communicate with them?"

"Ok?"

Zhao Shirong was surprised and couldn't help but ponder.

The reason is very simple.

The shipping trade guilds are the local bosses. From the runners and clerks to the high-ranking officials in the government offices, who has ever confiscated benefits from them?

Will it be useful for the Jingguo Palace to communicate?

Since the other party uses the relationship with the government, they will not be afraid of the Jingguo Mansion and will not follow the government's route.

Even Zhao Wuxian doubted it.

Cai Jing and his faction may have also been behind this.

Facing the losses of the Netherworld Casino.

Can Cai Jing sit still?

Zhao WuXian smiled and said, “If they want to play, then play with them!”

"All the projects currently being done at the Jingguo Mansion will be stopped on the pretext of New Year's Eve. The date of resumption will be determined!"

"Azhu, get all the night watchmen out to collect evidence of the Ship Trade Guild's crimes such as bullying and market domination. The more in-depth the better!"

"Yes!"

Ah Zhu took the order and left.

"Shi Rong, spread the word that in three days, the merchant ship of the Jingguo Mansion will set sail for the Ming Dynasty!"

"Ok?"

Zhao Shirong was surprised.

Zhao WuXian narrowed his eyes and said, “Let the Xie family’s ship sail directly and openly from Lin’an!”

If you want to fish, you have to throw some bait.

Zhao Shirong frowned.

Given the current situation, the Shipping Trade Guild will definitely not allow this voyage to go smoothly.

Could it be that Zhao Wuxian was going to take action himself?

But the sea and the land are two different things.

Zhao Shirong said worriedly: "Your Highness, this is too hasty!"

Zhao WuXian smiled slightly and said, "Don't rush. Don't forget, we still have the Black Pearl!"

It was in our plan to send the [Black Pearl] out to sea. If the shipping trade guild comes along this time, we can just beat them up along the way.

Zhao Shirong suddenly realized that she had witnessed the magic of the Black Pearl.

But she was still worried and said, "The Black Pearl has only been training for a few days. If..."

Zhao WuXian said: “Then let’s go and take a look together!”

"Ok!"
