Chapter 554 The more prosperous the better
On the top of Hou Tao's mountain, when he heard his hands coming down to report the news, Liang Sheng was overjoyed and forced Qi Jimei to stay. He immediately called two teams to follow him down the mountain.
"I ate alone last time, and it's our turn this time!"
Liang Sheng murmured, half a month ago, a Japanese pirate touched the dock at night and wanted to grab one... But Mao didn't even get it. The dock was just a transfer of goods, and there was a trading place outside the dock, but it was not allowed to transfer it after night.
The spies on duty discovered that Qi Jimei immediately led their troops to intercept them, and they were beheaded by more than a hundred Japanese pirates, and they were piled up into Jingguan and were buried three days later.
Liang was too late that time, and when he arrived panting, Qi Jimei was ready to return to the camp.
"Just ten..." Liang Sheng glanced from afar, and made a gesture in disappointment, "Board both sides, don't let one go."
Five or six wolf teeth suddenly emerged from the side, holding a spear and wielding a long sword, guards surrounding more than ten people in the middle in a fan shape.
The more than ten people surrounded were not very flustered, but they also took out their waist knives wrapped in cloth. The middle-aged man in charge shouted: "I am the Qianhu, Nanjing Jinyiwei."
After a moment of quietness on the opposite side, Liang Sheng walked over with more than ten people, took the waist tag thrown by the other side and looked at it, and smiled and said, "It's just a waist tag, not wearing a flying fish suit or an embroidered spring knife. Who knows if you are real?"
Middle-aged people were speechless. Although the flying fish suit and embroidered spring sword were the symbols of the Jinyiwei during the Jiajing period, they had to reach a certain level before they were qualified. Only one of the group was qualified.
I thought about getting a touch, but now I got off the boat and was touched behind my butt less than an hour later.
He Qi, who was following behind, finally showed up, and Yang Wen, who received the notification of the news, also arrived with his men.
"Encyclopedia Guard, disguised himself as he ran to Zhenhai..." Yang Wen waved his hand and asked the guard to retreat, and said with a face pulling, "Can you still want to knock on my young master?!"
"What are Brother Yang saying?" the middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Then he wouldn't be broken by the commander."
"Then let's talk about it, what are you doing?" He Qi smiled, holding a knife in his right hand, and pointed his left hand at the Jinyiwei who was still angry on the opposite side.
"We are all old acquaintances. Isn't that rude to me back then?!" The middle-aged man glanced at He Qi, "Xiao Hei got into the stove, but I caught it!"
Yang Wen couldn't help but smile. The person in front of him was Tian Dehui, a Qiangu, a Jinyiwei in Nanjing. In the 34th year of Jiajing, he was ordered to take Qian Yuan, who had just ended the provincial examination, to the Beijing Saint. At that time, Yang Wen, Zhang San, Zhou Ze, and He Qi all went north with him.
"I haven't congratulated Brother Yang on his promotion yet." Tian Dehui smiled and said, "I will definitely add a gift when I look back."
During this period, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War successively sent official documents to Ningbo Prefecture. Tang Shunzhi was transferred to Ningbo Prefecture. Song Jizu, former magistrate of Zhenhai, was promoted to Ningbo Tongzhi, Sun Piyang, magistrate of Shangyu, and Wu Chengqi, the former Taizhou Promotion Officer, was transferred to Ningbo Prefecture Officer.
In comparison, the generals were a little calm. Liu Xian, who had made meritorious contributions in this battle, was still the general of Zhejiang East, Qi Jimei and Yang Wenjun were promoted to guerrilla generals.
Qi Jimei was originally just a general manager, and it was precisely because of her low position that Qian Yuan valued being able to control the army alone. Now he was promoted at the same time as Yang Wen, and then recruited hundreds of soldiers from Yiwu and Taizhou. The former was stationed in Weiyuan City, and the latter was stationed in Zhenhai County.
On the top of Hou Tao Mountain, Qian Yuan frowned and cursed: "Wang Zhi is so unkind!"
"It's human nature." Wu Baipeng smiled and said, "Waters, warehouses, shops, and road construction are all built for business. Weiyuan City... that's the steel knife hanging around their necks."
Wang Zhi paid a lot of money this time and made great efforts. From the beginning of June to mid-August, although the scale is slightly smaller, a roughly complete business framework has been built.
The goods are delivered from all over the southeast, but the warehouses are not very useful, and there are so many empty ships waiting to load them.
Every three days, a fleet goes out to sea... Now there is a bit of a fuss in Fujian, and the sea route to the South China Sea is a bit risky, but it is unobstructed toward Japan.
Now the entire commercial market has gradually spread to the north. Many warehouses have been built to the north of Hou Tao Mountain, and the wharf is also being expanded. Most of the more than 10,000 civilians who Wu Baipeng has worked hard to recruit are placed on this... This is also what Qian Yuan is willing to see. The larger the scale of the trade, the more vested interests, the fewer possible opponents will be.
But Qian Yuan did not expect that it was quite difficult to build Weiyuan City... Other civilians provided abundant food, and Wang Zhi did not care about civilians who built the city.
In addition, the mountain is steep and the top of the mountain is so large, so it is useless to increase manpower. It has only been half of the construction of Weiyuan City in nearly March.
In fact, Qian Yuan didn't know that it took more time for Lu Tong to build Weiyuan City in the original time and space, and military generals could not recruit civilians, so they could only build the city with soldiers. It took more than a year to complete the construction.
Wu Baipeng and Song Jizu persuaded him a few words, but Qian Yuan still felt uncomfortable. If he had known this, he would have built Weiyuan City earlier... He didn't put the knife on it, and he always felt a little uneasy. In the past two months, there have been many Japanese pirates who have come to take advantage of the troubled waters.
"Oh, Tian Qianhu." Qian Yuan glanced at Tian Dehui who was approaching, "Are you here to escort Qian back to Beijing again?"
"Oh, I didn't wear a flying fish suit and a slasher this time. Is he here to be a spy?"
"Can Commander Lu also lacks money?"
Qian Yuan said with great interest: "Go back and tell Commander Lu to divide him into three sea boats!"
Tian Dehui grinned and bowed, "Sir Qian, why bother to joke with Tian..."
"No kidding, there are three Jinyiwei in the capital and one Nanjing Jinyiwei." Qian Yuan said casually: "I wish everyone in the world would come and get involved."
Tian Dehui understood this sentence. Not to mention the capital, even Nanjing has many censors who are ready to move. After all, Nanjing is located in the southeast, and some news is much more informed than colleagues in the capital.
Tian Dehui didn't say anything more. This time he disguised himself as the capital, and asked him to come and inquire about it... After all, Emperor Jiajing learned the truth through Lu Bing's channel.
Qian Yuan ignored Tian Dehui and pointed at He Qixiao and said, "I thought you were back to Hangzhou Food Garden."
"Young Master, don't look at the little one who has four fingers missing, but their eyes are bright." He Qi said to Tian Dehui, "Besides, the youngest said he wanted to open a private school, and the youngest wanted to stuff the boy in."
"Okay, okay, when the work is over, I will come to be a tutor myself." Qian Yuan laughed and had already made plans. He knew nothing about physics and chemistry, but at least he started from scratch in his previous life and still knew about accounts.
After chatting for a few moments, everyone went down the mountain together, and Wu Baipeng also went back to Zhenhai County. The family was so good that he always had to visit Tan's family.
"Is it so much trouble in Nanjing?" Qian Yuan pointed at Tian Dehui on the way, "It is said that the censor's letter has begun to impeach the capital."
Tian Dehui coughed twice, "How many... are all hard to read."
"It's not just a stubborn mind, it's a slut in my mind!" Qian Yuan said disdainfully: "According to what they said, we should chop up Wang Zhi with one knife, and then hit the sky and the earth."
"This is not." Tian Dehui whispered: "Nanjing Military Affairs Office impeached Southeast to report military information and falsely reported military achievements."
Qian Yuan laughed and nodded. He had also heard of this rumor.
With the guide and assistants of the sea merchants under Wang Zhi, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang, Dong Bangzheng, and Ge Hao, the navy team took turns to fight. In two months, they defeated seven or eight Japanese pirates entrenched on the island, and achieved brilliant results.
Just half a month ago, a small group of Japanese pirates invaded Taizhou and at the junction of Wenzhou, Qi Jiguang led his army south to defeat the Japanese pirates in one battle. Later, he led the navy to pursue them. Unexpectedly, the Japanese pirates set up an ambush and gathered dozens of naval ships to siege.
As a result, three Dafu ships in the navy of the official army rushed forward, as well as iron cannons and bird guns, and defeated the Japanese pirates again, killing more than 500 Japanese pirates, and twelve green ships. On the day of triumphant success, the Governor of Zhejiang Zhi, Hu Zongxian, personally came to Taiping County to welcome him.
But based on some people's dark psychology, even if Wang Zhi surrenders, how could the Japanese pirates still cause trouble?
Either Wang Zhilai surrendered was fake, Hu Zongxian, Qian Yuan reported it to the public, or Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou and others would falsely report their military achievements...
This logic is simply nonsense. Even Zhang San can tell more than a dozen loopholes at will.
Sitting on the chair of the Nanjing yamen, shaking his head and writing a letter to impeach him. Most of the censors in the Ming Dynasty had this kind of virtue, and it was reported to the news!
There is no evidence... If there is evidence, then we don’t need to be a censor!
However, after the construction of the wharf and warehouse, Southeast merchants gathered in Zhenhai. In addition to Wang Zhi and Tan Qizhi, it has been a month since the official sales of goods.
Qian Yuan thought to himself that the action of impeaching himself to start business rashly should have begun.
The best way to burn this fire is to burn the most prosperous point. The more prosperous the better. If it really doesn't work, pour a few barrels of oil into it... Although I know it's impossible, Qian Yuan really hopes to solve these messy things at once.
