Chapter 98

Walking on the pothole streets of Wenzhou, what you hear is the weak hawkers from the vendors, which makes Zhang Mu a little dazed.

When I visited Wenzhou in my previous life, there were many tall buildings here. Wenzhou people wrote a legend of an era with their hard work and wisdom, and were proudly called the Wenzhou model.

But the situation in front of you is hard to associate with the future metropolis.

Wenzhou City is not large in size, and it is even far less than Jinhua Prefecture. Because the Japanese pirates have been harassing each other for years, the people are in danger of their reign. Those who are capable move their families to the west of Zhejiang, and those who are not capable will continue to live a nervous life here.

In addition, the Ming Dynasty sealed the pass and banned the sea, which was far less prosperous than when the Mongol Yuan was there, because at that time, the people of Minse lived in Quanzhou Port, which was the largest international trade port at that time. Wenzhou, as one of the transit stations, gained a lot of benefits.

Wenzhou is completely lonely now, just one of the ordinary states that cannot be more ordinary.

Zhang Mu raised his legs and entered a cloth shop called Furuixiang. The shopkeeper hurriedly came out to greet him. Zhang Mu casually asked, "Is your shopkeeper here?"

"I dare to ask your name, please go and report it." The guy smiled enthusiastically.

"I'm the next surname is Yan." Zhang Mu said with a smile.

The guy hurried into the backyard to report, and a moment later, a wealthy middle-aged man in his fifties appeared in the hall.

After a greeting, the two of them arrived in Fu Ruixiang's backyard room.

After pouring tea and handing water, Zhang Mucai smiled and said, "Thank you, I believe you know what you are going to do. Then we don't have to go around in circles. Tell me, what should I prepare?"

"Brother Yan, the Wen family has told me that I will charge all the goods you bring according to the world price. Then I will change them to silk and porcelain for you. Once the boat goes out to sea, it will be exchanged for silver there. I will naturally notify you that you will get up and withdraw money." Manager Xie said with a smile.

"Thank you, I'm not to hide it. In fact, everyone has risks in this transaction. I don't want to do it for a long time. If it weren't for money, I wouldn't like to go to this muddy water. So I plan to make enough money at once and no longer cause trouble in the future." Zhang Mu smiled.

"What? Brother Yan means to increase the price? I'm afraid it's not easy to do. In fact, if I don't need to say it, you can guess some of it. Nowadays, the board cannot be filled with water. Our boats are made into small boats, and there are no big boats. Every time we trade, the quantity is fixed. If you add it here, there will be fewer people. This time it's for the sake of the Wen family, otherwise I wouldn't dare to deal with strange people like you." Manager Xie said with a difficult smile.

"What should I do if I lack money?" Zhang Mu asked.

"Actually, if you really lack money, you might as well exchange it with me. I will give you silver according to the official price and give me treasure money. In this way, you don't have to take risks. Haven't you obtained the white money?" Xie Jianshe smiled.

Zhang Mu understood this, and it seemed that the Wen family could not trust him. At this moment, Zhang Mu slowly stood up and walked to the shopkeeper Xie and said, "You always think that I am young and sincerely fool me. A ship of sea goods has reached the hands of Japanese pirates. At least one thousand taels of silver. Is silver a money? Who dares to ask me to collect your silver. No problem, Yi Guan Baobao exchanges for five taels of silver. If you want to do it, do it, don't do it."

"Oh, my master. Look at what you said, it's not easy for us to hire people to ask for money, right? Do you need money to go to sea boats? Do you need money to get some money? It seems that you make money, but in fact, it's not our family to go to sea goods. The Japanese pirates have also learned a lot and know how to compare the stores. The risk is still very high." Xie Jiangui smiled.

"Stop talking nonsense with me. Go back and tell your master that if he really likes me, I will really interact with him. If he is shameless, I will write a letter to the commander-in-chief of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. I think no one will give me the face of my Duke Cao?" After Zhang Mu said that, he waved his sleeves and left angrily.

Manager Xie looked embarrassed and hurried into the inner room. Wen Desheng sat on the bed in the inner room. The owner of the shoe came in and said, "Young master, do you think this is done?"

Xie Desheng stood up with his hands on his back, showing a look of distress. If a bulk seafood transaction was sold, Zhang Mu would definitely participate in it himself, and he really couldn't believe Zhang Mu, so he didn't want him to know what was going on.

But this kid is really hard to deal with, and the person who inquired about Zhang Mu's identity did not come back, so he was in a dilemma for a while.

When the shopkeeper Xie saw this, he bent his waist and said, "Boss, I have a solution. I don't know if it is feasible?"

"you say."

"Our family, we usually go to sea to get along with Panshiwei. Zhang Qianhu is cruel and ruthless. Every time we talk to us, we can't afford to offend. However, since this kid has the background of Duke Cao, it's better to let him go and get along with Panshiwei. If he goes, Zhang Qianhu will give him face, will our life be better?" Xie Jiangui smiled.

"You mean to let him go and give a letter of fame?" Wen Desheng asked.

"Yes, if he goes, it means he really wants to make money, at least he will not be from the court. Then what are we afraid of?" said Manager Xie.

"It's a solution to arrive. Panshiwei is stationed at the outlet of Yongjia River, which is restraining our lifeline. Zhang Qianhu is timid and cautious, and greedy for money. It's really a problem. I will talk to him about this." When he said this, Wen Desheng walked out of the door.

Zhang Mu came out of Fu Ruixiang and headed towards the inn. As soon as he returned to the inn, Han Fangshan said, "Sir, I have an urgent matter for Jinling."

Zhang Mu hurried in and arrived at the room. Han Fangshan then took out a letter of fire and handed it to Zhang Mu.

This should be Zhu Yuanzhang's instructions. Zhang Mu hurriedly took the lacquer open and took it out and took it out to take a look.

The letter, Lao Zhu, first gave Zhang Mu a hypocritical greeting, and then expressed his anger at what happened in eastern Zhejiang.

The letter clearly told Zhang Mu that if he wanted to use the local garrison, he could directly ask Li Yunchang for help. Now Li Yunchang has been photographed and has been promoted to deputy general and commanded Taizhou coastal defense.

When Zhang Mu saw this, he was relieved.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang is very scheming, and he has already calculated every step of the development of things.

During the Hongwu period, the general was called a general who led troops to fight.

Although the local garrison and the commander-in-chief had troops under their command, they did not have the power to mobilize them. The general, deputy general, and military preparations were considered military generals, but they did not have the power to mobilize the army.

The generals are appointed by the court. After the task is completed, they will go back to submit their duties. In this way, the soldiers cannot recognize their generals, and the generals do not recognize their troops, and the army is firmly in the hands of the court.
