Of course, Qian Rui can't be avoided.

Wang Zhi was unwilling to touch such a broken thing at all, and it was the most appropriate to put Mr. Fang in front of him. If he settled the score with the park at that time, with Mr. Fang there, if the park declined, he would have to throw Mr. Fang away...

"There is no need for many sea boats at the beginning, but regulations need to be made." Qian Rui smiled and said, "It can be imitated with the old rules of Ningbo."

"The old rules of Ningbo?" Hou Ruliang hesitated, "Since the establishment of a city in the 36th year of Jiajing, the envoy of Jingchuan has returned to buy grain and rice, which can be deducted from taxes and silver. Granaries are built in Ningbo, Shaoxing and Taizhou. I heard that there is a lot of surplus..."

"There were wars in Fujian and Jiangxi that year, and the court ordered Zhenhai to transport grain and rice to help each other. The old ship owner used sea ships to transport grain to Fuzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province, and headed west from the Minjiang River." Qian Rui nodded and said: "In the future, sea ships can buy grain and rice from all over the Nanyang area, or transport grain from all over the Zhenhai and Ninghai areas."

"First, Tianjin needs to set up a city to trade. Second, the sea is windy and storm. If the ship is destroyed and the people are killed, the court needs to allocate silver to compensate, otherwise the matter will not be renewed. Third, tax silver can be deducted."

Hou Ruliang thought about it back and forth in his heart. Not to mention being harsh, such conditions are simply better than good.

When sea ships transport grain to the north, Tianjin naturally needs to be opened. In fact, Tianjin has always had a wharf, and there are similar rules for canal transportation. When canal transportation ships transport grain to the north, they also have to buy goods to earn money when they return.

Tax deductions, which were originally implemented in Zhenhai for many years, and Tang Shunzhi used this to build a large number of granaries in the three prefectures of Ningshaotai... Of course, there is also the power to issue customs clearance documents here. Tang Shunzhi is very sensitive to the possible food crisis in the maritime trade.

It is reasonable to compensate for the loss of sea ships. No matter how you calculate it, it is more cost-effective than repairing river channels. At worst, it can be offset by taxes and silver, and the user department will not allocate silver.

Qian Rui smiled and said, "In fact, the most suitable ones are not Zhenhai and Ninghai, but Jiaxing Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, Tongzhou Prefecture and Shandong."

Hou Ruliang nodded in agreement. These places are closer to the grain production area, so it is indeed more appropriate to transport grain, but these places currently do not have a city to trade, so they do not have an advantage over Zhenhai.

Qian Rui and Hou Ruliang were discussing various details there. Wang Zhi was sitting in the main seat and listening to it was about to doze off. Mao Haifeng simply left the door and he was about to lead the fleet to sea.

Qian Rui said it very well, and the details were so detailed that Hou Ruliang never expected it... This was natural, because although Qian Yuan refused to send Wang Zhi to Liaodong by sea to transport grain and rice, in fact, he agreed with sea transportation.

After the discussion, even though Hou Ruliang had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, he could not help but be flirted with joy. As long as things were done, Hou Ruliang believed that he would be able to keep his name in history, and maybe he would be able to take charge of the Grand Secretary in the future.

"Now, most of the fleets under the old ship owner have not returned to sea, and there are still ten sea ships to set off in the next two days." Qian Rui said slowly: "Sea ships are loaded with iron cannons and other firearms. Changing grain storage and rice requires changing cabins, and also needing to allocate ships. It may take some time to choose a lucky ship to transport grain."

Hou Ruliang had no doubts, and Wang Zhi coughed, picked up the teacup and drank tea to cover his face. It was nonsense. There were only four or five lucky boats in Zhoushan.

When Wang Zhi noticed Hou Ruliang looking over, he coughed again, "What Mr. Fang said is what Wang said."

Hou Ruliang breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Qian Rui with admiration. This person was calm and meticulous, had the ability to arithmetic, had broad knowledge, and was not a common person.

Hou Ruliang couldn't help but love talent and asked tentatively: "Old ship owner, can you borrow Mr. Fang for use when the sea transportation is tried?"

Wang Zhi was stunned for a moment and almost laughed out loud. Does the Zhejiang governor want to take Qian Zhancai, the leader of Suiyuan, as his aide?

"It depends on whether Mr. Fang is willing..." Wang Zhi said nonsense, feeling a little strange in his heart, and he remembered Xu Hai.

From the time Wang Zhi investigated that Mr. Fang and Qian Yuan seemed to have a connection, he kept wondering whether the connection between them... was before he was recruited or when Mr. Fang was still under Xu Hai's command.

Xu Hai was brave and good at fighting, with thousands of elite soldiers under his command, and cunning and suspicious. Unexpectedly, he was surrounded and annihilated by the government army outside Shangyu City, Shaoxing. Wang Zhi had investigated afterwards. Although the main reason was that Qi Jiguang, who was then the deputy general of Zhejiang, had strong combat power and defeated Xu Hai like a tyrant, the government army was promoted to Yu as bait and luring the enemy into the depth was also an important reason.

Wang Zhi glanced at Qian Rui and remembered that when he was about to beat the dog, it was Mr. Fang who presented Xu Hai's head.

Faced with the recruitment of Zhejiang Governor Hou Ruliang, Qian Rui was also amused and was about to refuse, but suddenly there was a noise outside. Mao Haifeng strode, "One person held the famous post of Lord Zhongcheng to ask for a meeting."

Hou Ruliang was shocked and knew that he was the only Master Zhang and Wang Bengu who came to Zhaobao Village, Jinjishan. What happened?

If it was Wang Bengu, something big must have happened. If it was his confidant... the matter would definitely be even bigger!

Discussing sea transportation is very important for Hou Ruliang, but he also knows that the most important thing is that Wang Ben is stubborn in the sea and cannot cause chaos, otherwise everything will be water and moon in the mirror.

After sending Hou Ruliang away, who seemed calm but actually hurried, Wang Zhicai pulled Qian Rui and asked with a smile: "Suiyuan is really willing to go to sea transportation?"

Qian Rui keenly noticed the temptation mixed in this seemingly ordinary question, and only smiled and said, "The governor of Zhejiang came to the door. Although the old ship owner is Jing Haibo, he can't just take it back, right?"

Wang Zhi was able to confirm that Mr. Fang and Qian Yuan were connected, but he didn't know what the relationship was. This sentence was a test.

If Mr. Fang and Qian Yuan were an alliance or had a jurisdiction between the upper and lower levels, then Mr. Fang would never know Qian Yuan’s true attitude towards the shipping matter. If he knew... it means that he and Qian Yuan had an extraordinary relationship, not just a secret.

The reason why Wang Zhi thought of this problem was that Qian Yuan did not agree with sea transportation in Zhenhai, but Mr. Fang did the opposite.

Seeing Wang Zhi silent and thoughtful, Qian Rui continued with a smile: "In fact, it doesn't matter to the old ship owner. If Wang Zimin is in charge of Zhenhai and Hou Ruliang is doing the maritime transportation, what would the old ship owner do to take out some maritime ships? After all, this matter is openly related to Suiyuan."

"If Suiyuan turns the tables..." Wang said directly: "Anyway, the gentleman has been dragging it down just now, and the sea boat is reorganized and allocated... If Suiyuan has a backup plan, it should be in these few days."

"Hou Ruliang visited the old ship owner to discuss shipping. This is a big deal, but someone is in a hurry to see you..."
