"I remember that Ligang was prosperous back then, and the owner of Wufeng was also in charge of someone. The ship was on the main island of Zhoushan, right?"

"This place chokes the throat of Yongjiang River and is located in Haikou. If there is any loss, do you know what consequences will be?"

Wang Zhi forced a smile, "Since the city was built on the top of Hou Tao Mountain, then...why... it's better to choose another place for trading?"

"No need." Qian Yuan made a gesture of invitation and walked to the edge of the cliff. "The most important thing about the so-called place of trade is convenient transportation. This place is close to Yongjiang River, directly to Hangzhou to the west, connecting to the north and south canals, and at the entrance of the sea, it is also convenient to sail and go out to sea.

Wang Zhi nodded, "That's true. As long as it is not a big lucky ship, it can dock on the bank of the Yongjiang River... This is a wharf that needs to be built."

“Of course, the dock is a must.”

"Has enough people?"

"This time, more than 10,000 civilians were recruited." Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Although Weiyuan City is called a city, it is actually small and the dock cannot use too many people. Guess the owner of Wufeng ship, what are the rest of the people doing?"

Wang Zhi stroked his beard and guessed, "Is it possible that it is a new warehouse?"

"Haha, the owner of the Five Peaks hit the nail on the head." Qian Yuan pointed at the foot of the mountain, "The warehouse must not be built to the east of Hou Tao's Shandong. When the sea breeze comes, it will often collapse."

"Although Houtao Mountain is not high, its range is not small. There are many valleys that can shelter from wind and rain. It is most suitable to build warehouses here."

"We need to be garrisoned by troops and choose another place to trade. You can also set up a new market at the wharf, set up shops, and then transport them directly from the warehouse to the ship, so you can sail to the sea."

There are some details, but Qian Yuan roughly outlined it, which made Wang Zhi nod and said yes.

Finally, Qian Yuan smiled and said, "Of course, transactions need to be paid for taxes..."

"This is naturally, Wang is definitely not such a stingy person!"

"Uh...and, the warehouse also needs to pay rent for storing goods..."

Wang Zhi swallowed, this is really a desperate person!

What's even more excessive is still to come.

Qian Yuan spread his hands, "Building Weiyuan City, building warehouses, and leveling the roads is all about spending money... The owner of the Wufeng Ship should know that this matter is just something that can be done or not, and the court will definitely not allocate money."

“…”

"Whoever wants to eat meat will be beaten first..." Qian Yuan also felt a little embarrassed and smiled dryly: "But the fleet of the owner of Wufeng sails all over the world, and the wealth is as rich as a country..."

Amid Qian Yuan's persuasion, Wang Zhizhen felt a little headache. This guy hugged and threw himself into the well!

Not only Wang Zhi, but also from Zhejiang Governor Wu Baipeng to Zhenhai County Magistrate Song Jizu, all of whom were dumbfounded... It was so whimsical!

For example, Wu Baipeng, Qi Jiguang, Lu Bin, and Zheng Ruozeng all had close friends with Qian Yuan, and they all knew that Qian Yuan adhered to the same view: banning the sea and turning the brigades into the brigades; opening the sea and turning the brigades into the brigades.

Therefore, in their concept, advocating Wang Zhi and allowing trade was just a means to quell the Japanese turmoil.

In the past dynasties, all of which have to spend money and food to recruit bandits, and have to be willing to give up official titles... The heroes of Liangshan in "Water Margin" are like this, and they cut off their heads so that they can drink big bowls of wine and eat meat in the end, and they can become officials!

Killing and setting fire to the gold belt...

Want to be an official, kill people and set fire to be recruited...

In short, everyone is ready to recruit Wang Zhi... Being an official must not be an official, but giving money is still acceptable.

Now that Qian Zhancai not only doesn’t give away money, he also wants to rob him... God is pitiful, Wang Zhi is not stupid!

Qian Yuan is still making requirements, "Ligang also built more warehouses back then. The house we lived in last night is said to be the warehouse left before?"

"That's it. The owner of Wufeng ship is asking some old people to come and help. There are so many troubles in building the warehouse!"

"We also need to level the road, and we also need veterans to help... Look, there are lakes there. Let's go back and calculate how many people it takes to dig a canal and connect to Yongjiang River, and how long it takes."

"It's not like digging a canal for ten miles, at most three miles. At that time, the surrounding warehouses are built to store fragile items such as porcelain, and they are willing to drag the carriage and break it."

"Sir Qian, Lord Qian!" Wang Zhi could no longer help but pointed at the soles of his feet, "Wang invested in the construction of Weiyuan City?"

"What's wrong?"

"Then Wang invested in the construction of a dock and warehouse, and had to level the roads and dig a canal?"

"What's wrong?" Qian Yuan looked sincere in his face for the other party's plan. "I just said that if you want to eat meat, you have to be beaten first..."

"Actually, this sentence is OK to say the other way around. You can get beaten first... and you can eat meat first."

Wu Baipeng looked at Zheng Ruozeng speechlessly, thinking about the little money allocated by the Governor's Office to build Weiyuan City and build a wharf. The warehouse is afraid that it is not enough... Well, I didn't plan to use that money at all, and I was going to let Wang Zhi pay it out.

Qian Yuan looked at Wang Zhi with a smile on his face, "In fact, it won't cost much money... By the way, recruiting investors also requires money, and it's best to pay some wages."

Wang Zhi was so angry that he laughed, "Wage?"

"The Japanese pirates attacked the coast, burned, killed, and robbed, and that was to rob the silver." Qian Yuan spread his hands, "The owner of the Wufeng ship spilled silver everywhere. How could the people like Xu Hai?"

Wang Zhi sighed, "Mr. Qian, just say it if you have something to do."

Although he only met for the first time yesterday, Wang Zhi knew very well that the person in front of him was unfathomable and had a good talk. He pulled himself here step by step, so he was too lazy to continue guessing.

Qian Yuan still had a smile on his face and asked, "Are the Zhao family here?"

"It has arrived a quarter of an hour ago." Liang Sheng waved his hand and asked someone to bring the Zhao family up.

"Have you thought about it?"

The introspection made Zhao Wenjing of the Zhao family in Cixi, who was over 40 years old, bent down, and the young man behind him even bowed a long salute.

Zhao Wenjing, the second brother of Zhao Wenhua, the Minister of Works, and is now the head of the Zhao family in Cixi. As early as the beginning of this year, Qian Yuan sent someone to "blackblack" him.

There was an older brother who was the Minister of Works and Yan Song's godson. Zhao Wenjing naturally disdained and sent Qian Yuan's messenger in one sentence.

Qian Yuan didn't care either. It was not until after the great victory in Shangyu that he wrote a letter to Beijing and delivered it directly to Zhao Wenhua.

At the beginning of the foot of Mount Ping, Qian Yuan went straight in, and Zhao Wenhua made a private agreement with him. However, Qian Yuan entered Beijing and stirred up the situation. Now Zhao Wenhua has been held in the palm of his hand by Qian Yuan. It is hard to say anything else, so he must not disobey this.

On the second day, Zhao Wenhua sent his eldest son, with his private seal, and his confidant aides and his family members to go south to return to his hometown. The young man behind Zhao Wenjing was Zhao Wenhua's eldest son Zhao Fu.

Zhao Wenjing bowed tremblingly, "The Zhao family in Cixi is willing to donate 3,000 taels of silver to help repair Weiyuan City and the wharf."

"Three thousand taels?"

"Five thousand taels!" Zhao Fu immediately changed his words, "Five thousand taels of silver were sent to Zhenhai County immediately."

After saying this, Zhao Fu turned his head and glared at his second uncle Zhao Wenjing. Anyway, he was about to bleed, so why bother to make people unhappy?

Unlike Zhao Wenjing, Zhao Fu has been in Beijing all year round and has long heard of Qian Yuan’s reputation... This guy can even beat him up even if his father-in-law and second-in-commissioned eldest son Xu Fan. Do you think I am the eldest son of the Grand Sikong, so they dare not beat him up?

"Why are you so stingy?" Qian Yuan shook his head, "but it's just that it's a little more, just five thousand taels are just five thousand taels."

Five thousand taels of silver... It's really not a small number. Wu Baipeng, who was standing beside him, frowned. He knew that Zhao Wenhua had a close relationship with Qian Yuan during the war in the south.

"How many sea boats do your Zhao family have?"

Zhao Fu didn't say anything, and hit Zhao Wenjing with his elbow, who smiled dryly and said, "No...no..."

"Five sea ships of all sizes." Qian Yuan was too lazy to talk nonsense with this guy anymore and said bluntly: "When you go to sea with a full load of goods, you should pay about two or three hundred taels of silver at a time. The five thousand taels of silver can be deducted from customs duties and also deduct rent for warehouses."

Speaking of this, Wang Zhi, Wu Baipeng and others suddenly realized. Shen Mingchen smiled and said, "Zhancai, where can I learn the skills of picking cakes on the flat ground and making them out of nothing?"

"It will benefit both. As long as the warehouse and dock are built, it won't take long to make a profit." Qian Yuan turned to look at Wang Zhi, "What do the owner of Wufeng ship think?"
