Chapter 166 Conditions (1)
Regarding the fact that Wang Bengu was detained, Wang Zhi, who personally testified, Qian Yuan’s position in the southeast and his strong influence on sea trade, coupled with the fact that Tan Qizhi led the royal fleet, there is no doubt that it is natural to rebuild the Southeast sea trade trading system.
In fact, the big families, maritime merchants, and all the people outside the government offices, and the guild halls built in Zhenhai County all have their own ideas and plans.
But one thing is certain: restarting commerce is something that all classes in the southeast want to see.
Qian Yuan sat outside the lobby of the government office, waiting for the final result.
Everyone knows that it is inevitable to restart the maritime trade. Southeast is a magnanimous literary talent and eight-part essay, and countless scholars are juren. A large number of officials who retired know that if the court does not intend to restart the maritime ban, it means that the court has a strong dependence on the tax and silver for maritime trade, which also shows that Qian Yuan has no way out.
If the Southeast Tax Bank cannot be restored, then Qian Yuan’s foundation and the status of the Suiyuan Party will be shaken.
In short, what Qian Yuan is waiting for is the result, but in fact what he is waiting for is the conditions proposed by the Southeast interest group.
Although they were full of gratitude to Qian Longquan, who was deposed by the divine weapon in the sky, they would not be left behind because of this. This is the inevitable result of the merchant's endless pursuit of interests.
It was almost dusk, and Qian Yuan slowly placed the tea cup on the table beside him and looked at the three people standing in front with a smile.
Zhou Yibo, the Zhou family in Hangzhou Prefecture. His son Zhou Shi was a Jinshi in the 35th year of Jiajing and a scholar in Suiyuan. Last year, he was transferred from the magistrate of Chenggu County to work in Beijing.
Zhang Yu, the Zhang family of Ningbo Prefecture, and his uncle Zhang Shiche was the former Minister of War in Nanjing. Although he was a member of Xu Jie, he retired in the 35th year of Jiajing and had many contacts with Qian Yuan.
Liu Tong, the shopkeeper of Xiangtong, Suzhou Prefecture, is a businessman, but there are five Juren and three Jinshi in his in-laws, including Lu Yipeng, a scholar in Suiyuan.
Can these three families stand here? Or volunteer? Qian Yuan thought in his mind, his eyes fell behind the crowd, and the remaining people were all figures who did not show their identities but were famous in the business world.
The key is that these people are all leaders of the industry and can control the flow and price of large amounts of tea, silk, cotton and other goods.
In other words, they are the people who are qualified to negotiate conditions... But in this era, they cannot stand on the table, so they will put the families with great relationship with Qian Yuan in front.
"Prince Min?"
"The memorial has arrived in the capital. Within ten days, he will be taken back to the capital for trial."
"If you are worried, prepare for all matters of maritime trade first, and then set sail to sea after the prince is convicted and sentenced."
Qian Yuan could understand this. Even though he was talking about it, he wanted to make Southeast believe that the court would never have the intention of banning the sea. The most direct way was to fix the crimes of Wang Ben.
After Ligang was captured, Wang Jun was transferred back to Beijing and was promoted to Minister of War for his merits. His successors had no intention of admiring him. The maritime merchants also concluded that the court would not open up the ban on sea bans. The scale of Japanese pirates became larger and larger, and the frequency of invasions on ashore became higher and higher.
His Majesty casually pointed out his Majesty, Tan Qizhi, Tax Silver, and Inner Transportation Deposit, and the people on the other side had nothing to say. Wang Bengu could not escape this time. Whether to abandon the market or not, Xu Jie would rather not pull him... Qian Yuan was not very hopeful about this.
"Officially lift the sea ban?"
"If the sea ban is not officially opened, it will be difficult for everyone to feel at ease." Zhou Yibo smiled bitterly: "Maybe the day the censor wrote a letter to impeach the sea trade and violated the ancestral system..."
Qian Yuan nodded, "If there is no accident, within one year, I will guarantee that Your Majesty will personally issue an order to open the maritime ban."
Seeing the people on the opposite side hesitant, Qian Yuan smiled and said, "If you can find Gao Xinzheng with a pig's head, you will not care if you are under Xu Huating's sect."
"I've been talking and joking." Zhang Yu waved his hand in a hurry, "It's impossible."
Who doesn’t know that Gao Xinzheng, Xu Huating and Qian Longquan are enemies in the Southeast officialdom, but in the Southeast, facts have proved that the first two may not be Qian Yuan’s opponents in joining forces.
There was an inaudible cough sound behind him. Zhou Yibo's face was a little bitter, and he stepped forward and said with a reluctant smile: "I just heard that Zhang Lian wanted to plan for the southeast today. If this person went ashore, it would be a climate, I would be afraid that the southeast would be in trouble. Many years later, Liangzhe will be given great kindness to Duke Longquan again."
"Uncle, please be polite." Qian Yuan stood up and supported Zhou Yibo with a smile. "Qian did not dare to be such a great gift from his uncle. In the future, Brother Jiaxu wouldn't show me his face?"
Zhou Shi and Qian Yuan had a close relationship. He was the first to be the magistrate of Sichuan. However, before Qian Yuan returned to Beijing in the 38th year of Jiajing, he planned to convert him into the magistrate of Chenggu, and later played a crucial role in Zeng Xinxue's unjust overturning the case.
Zhou Yibo's expression was a little relaxed and said with a smile: "Now that Zhang Lian has been captured alive, but the remaining troops are still wandering to the Nanyang route and going to sea again... I'm afraid I will suffer an accident."
"Brother Zhou said," Liu Tong bent over with a wry smile, "Donald Longquan, many merchant ships going to sea to the South China Sea this year have been attacked by pirates. Today, I know that even Tan Qizhi..."
Liu Tong's niece is Lu Yipeng's younger siblings, and Lu Yipeng is the backbone of Suiyuan and is now in charge of business in Xiamen.
Qian Yuan nodded heavily, "That's true, it's true..."
The people on the opposite side stared at Qian Yuan. At this time, Liang Sheng, who was watching from afar, suddenly strode over and said a few words with his ears.
Qian Yuan's face showed a look of surprise, "Today, all the wise men came to discuss the sea trade affairs, but unexpectedly another good news came."
Wang Zhi, Lu Bin and Ge Hao had already prepared, and Wang Zhi, who was in front, held a box in his hand and smiled: "Just just counted it, I found that the party who was secretly engraved by Zhang Lian was seized."
"Golden Seal?" Qian Yuan was a little surprised, ignored it for the time being, and turned around and said loudly: "Eight days ago, after capturing Zhang Lian alive, I transferred elite troops from Liangzhe Navy and Wusong Navy, and led by Jing Haibo to attack Zhang Lian's lair."
"A war will be decided, eight hundred beheaded, countless drowned people, and thirty-four sea ships were captured, and more than a thousand young and strong." Wang Zhi put the box on the table, "A variety of goods, silver and treasures have been registered."
"I will report to the emperor for this great contribution to Jinghai Bo." Qian Yuan bowed and thanked him, "General Lu, Ge Guerrilla, will take a big risk and go to sea to attack, and the court will be rewarded."
"What a good news, come whatever you want!"
Qian Yuan turned his head and laughed: "Zhang Lian's remaining troops were wiped out, and you have no worries anymore!"
