On this day, Ningbo prefect Tang Shunzhi, who had not left Zhenhai for more than four years, set off and returned home.

On the dock, except for Wang Bengu and Dong Yikui, Song Jizu, Wu Chengqi and other officials came to see you off. As for officials, clerks, scholars, merchants and the people, they almost sent you off to the city... But Sun Ying, Zheng Ruozeng, Yang Wen, Hong Hou and other people from Suiyuan background did not appear.

On the Jinji Mountain separated by a river, Wang Zhi asked hesitantly: "Honest Jingchuan really retired?"

"We have set off and returned home." Mao Haifeng was a little anxious, "It's not right, even if we change the prefect, the customs clearance documents will be issued by the bird inspector and the censor!"

Xu Bixi took two steps forward, "Encyclopedia, do you want someone to try it? There will be a fleet going to sea tomorrow, and there will be about ten ships."

Wang Zhi nodded with a gloomy face and whispered: "It's all because of Qian Zhancai. If Zhenhai imitates Ning Maritime Affairs, the wealthy households have documents to go out to sea every month, so there is no need to worry."

"One is in front and the other is in back." Qian Rui smiled bitterly and said, "I think Jingchuan Gong is not yet in his sixties, so I don't know why I want to retire now."

Qian Rui knew it well. Tang Shunzhi was not a party in Suiyuan, and Sun Ying did not show up today... All this made Qian Rui suspicious.

What happened?

Wang Zhi was silent for a moment and waved his hand to Xu Bixi. Mao Haifeng stepped down and asked in a low voice: "Sir, business affairs will not change, right?"

Before Qian Rui could reply, Wang Zhi continued: "Wang also knows that it is nothing more than a party struggle in the court, but I am afraid of the old story of Zhao Dazhou back then..."

"I will definitely not!" Qian Yuan said firmly, adding: "Not to the title of the old ship owner Jing Haibo, the Southeast tax and silver are so heavy, who dares to break the trade route?"

Wang Zhi shook his head, "Indeed, the Southeast Taxation Silver is so heavy that the DPRK will definitely not cut off the trade route, but it does not mean that the old story of Zhao Dazhou will not repeat itself."

After a pause, Wang Zhi whispered: "Now we go east, we still have the banner of Wufeng, but we go south..."

Wang Zhi’s ideas are different from those of Tang Shunzhi and Wang Bengu.

What Wang Bengu saw was that Wang Zhi and Suiyuan had a deep relationship. If he could get the fat piece of Southeast Trading, who would care about Wang Zhi? Should he search for Wang Zhi again? Then he would stab the hornet's nest in Suiyuan?

You should know that Suiyuan does not have any counterattack ability, Qian Yuan’s great reputation is there.

What Tang Shunzhi saw was that there was a complex and unimaginable relationship between Wang Zhi and Qian Yuan. Over the past few years, Wang Zhi's power has not only not been reduced, but has become even more powerful.

But what Wang Zhi saw was different from them.

In Wang Zhi's opinion, indeed, his strength has increased instead of decreasing, but the key is that the originally empty southeast coast has appeared in a large scale of naval troops within a few years.

Many years ago, Wang Zhi emerged, and the navy on the southeast coast had basically lost its strength. The only remaining lucky ships were given to Wang Zhi by Ding Zhan, who was then the deputy envoy of the sea route.

But in the past four or five years, Qian Yuan tried his best to fight warships in the southeast. Even after he returned to Beijing, he did not stop his pace of fighting warships.

The former Fujian general Qi Jiguang, Zhejiang guerrilla Zhang Yuanxun, guerrilla Ge Hao, and current Guangdong general Yu Dayou and other generals all have strong navy under their command.

Nowadays, merchant ships go to sea and go east to Japan are still monopolized by Wang Zhi. They are all under the banner of Wufeng, but when they go south to Nanyang, there is no need to be under the banner of Wufeng.

This directly led to a slight reduction in Wang Zhi's reputation at the sea. Although he didn't know what would happen next, his intuition told him that there would be no good things.

"I personally went to Li Port to recruit and pacify the affairs of the government and mentioned that the court would not allow the old ship owner to occupy the business road alone. Now it is the same. The court will not allow Suiyuan to occupy the business for a long time." Qian Rui advised softly: "But the old story of Zhao Dazhou will never repeat itself."

Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes and stared at the ship that had set off south on the Yongjiang River. Tang Shunzhi, who was alone on the deck, seemed to be looking at this side.

"Will not repeat it?"

"It will definitely not happen again!"

Wang Zhi re-evaluated the relationship between himself, the military advisor and Qian Yuan.

Qian Rui is naturally sure. If the court intends to hunt Wang Zhi, his own plotter will definitely not be able to escape death. Can Qian Yuan bear it?

If there is such danger, Zhang Yishan, who knows his identity, will never go south to Taizhou and stay away from Zhenhai.

The ship that Tang Shunzhi was riding was getting farther and farther away, and gradually he could no longer see each other. Wang Zhi and Qian Rui stood halfway up the mountain for a long time... In the process of setting up a city to trade, the most important ones were two people, one was Qian Yuan and the other was Tang Shunzhi. Now both of them have left Zhenhai.

Is an era over?

Is a new era about to begin?

The heavy footsteps interrupted their thoughts. Mao Haifeng cursed in a rough voice before saying, "I just took over and made a mess!"

"Um?"

Xu Bixi's face was also ugly, "It's the boy who had an accident yesterday, Dong Yikui's brother-in-law, who had already spoken and wanted to pass the document, 10%..."

"Dream!" Mao Haifeng unconsciously touched the hilt of the knife on his waist, "One percent of the tax silver is the rule agreed upon by the Communist Party of China, and then 10 percent will be handed over to them... Adopted father, why don't I go to the capital and ask Qian Yuan for a question!"

"Shut up!" Wang Zhi was speechless, thinking that he had to explain something when he turned around. It doesn't matter if he called Qian Yuan's name privately, but Mr. Fang is still there... No, if he really explained, no matter how stupid Mao Haifeng would think that Mr. Fang had something wrong.

Qian Rui didn't care, so he explained a few words briefly.

Xu Bixi frowned and said, "In other words, Wang Bengu, Dong Yikui and Zhao Zhenji were in the same group?"

"We are all from Huating's disciples." Qian Rui whispered: "But the old story of Zhao Dazhou will not repeat it."

"It's hard to say..." Xu Bixi shook his head, "Why don't you go to Zhoushan to avoid it first?"

Wang Zhi thought about it and looked at Qian Rui thoughtfully, "What do you think sir?"

Qian Rui replied without hesitation: "Brother Mao accompanied the old ship owner to Zhoushan first to avoid it, and Fang accompanied Brother Xu to stay in Zhenhai."

"Well? Why does this mean?" Wang Zhi looked at Qian Rui deeply, "If Zhejiang General Dong Yikui searched Wang, as the leader, he would definitely be imprisoned."

Qian Ruizhan smiled, "I wanted to talk yesterday, did the old ship owner forget?"

Before Wang Zhi answered, Qian Rui continued: "Today, Jingchuan Gong retired and returned home. Sun Wenhe, the magistrate of Zhenhai, came to the dock to see him off. Although the inspector Wang Zimin took over the business, if Qian Longquan was powerless, would the old ship owner believe it?"

After a moment of silence, Wang Zhi also smiled, "Wang doesn't believe it either."

After all, Wang Bengu and Dong Yikui were just means to spy on Qian Yuan from rumors. How could they compare to the countless losses and countless benefits in Qian Yuan's hands. Wang Wufeng, who was often played with in his palms.
