The next morning, without waiting for Yinzhen to knock on, the royal family members condemned people to come to the door. News that Hengbeile lacked connections and needed everyone's support spread overnight between Zonggui. Although the people sent to be the navy were all children of incompetent deeds, no matter what, they were their own children. You said that their sons loved him. Who wouldn't want to establish a good relationship with Yinzhen and let his children suffer less? Besides, the Ocean Fleet is now closely related to them, so naturally they have to help them.

Yinzhen naturally refused all these kindnesses that came to the door, but he was also quite depressed. In addition to giving benefits, these people also recommended people, who have few poor relatives and a stall as big as the Ocean Fleet, where can't they install a few people? [The latest updates are all in search.]

Yinzhen was short of people at hand, but what they recommended were all messy, such as accounting, Changsui, clerk, master, Zhuangtou, Baotou, etc. He was the most popular for accounting, and he would collect as much as he recommended, Zhuangtou, Baotou, etc. He respected him far and far away. He refused to accept the second master like Changsui. These second masters were all good at local experts and would definitely ruin his reputation when they took them to Shanghai. They were not to be officials. Besides, there were many soldiers under their jurisdictions, and they had personal guards to manage all matters. Even if they wanted to be seniors, they would also be promoted from personal guards. Clerks and masters did need it. However, God knew if they had real talents and knowledge to recommend them, but for some people, he was only in love with him. He accepted more than a dozen clerks and masters.

Even so, the news of Yinzhen receiving people was spreading ten times, and ten times spread a hundred times, and it spread instantly. The threshold of the Hengbeile Mansion was almost flattened. A group of relatives and friends came to the door, and they all recommended people as soon as they opened their mouths. Yinzhen was very distressed when he heard the word "recommended". In less than two days, he didn't need Kangxi to urge him, and he couldn't wait to leave the capital. For the group of second-generation ancestors who were fighting to be the navy, he gave Kangxi a note, suggesting that after the Naval Academy was completed, they would let them go to Shanghai to avoid disturbing the place.

Since the 26th year of the Kangxi reign, Jiang Customs moved from Lianyungang to Shanghai, Shanghai has gradually flourished. Ships engaged in domestic and maritime trade have all entered Huangpu Port from Wusong River. Wuzhong Silk, Songjiang Mesh, Jingdezhen Ceramics and Overseas Department Stores gathered in Shanghai in large numbers. By the 48th year of the Kangxi reign, Shanghai Port, located in the center of the coastline, had become a major hub for north-south shipping.

The Songjiang area in Shanghai became the center of cotton and cotton production as early as the mid-Ming Dynasty, and was known as the "clothing and quilting world". By the Kangxi period, cotton textile handicraft industry had spread to all towns in Shanghai, and Shanghai county towns had also developed into the center of cotton textile handicraft industry, and became a concentrated place for cotton processing, printing, dyeing and tearing industries. According to statistics from Jiang Customs, since the 45th year of Kangxi, the number of cloth flowing out from Shanghai Port every year has reached 20 million. The cloth alone can show the development of sea trade in Shanghai Port.

On the second day of November, Yinzhen and his group of more than 600 people arrived in Shanghai. The Songjiang Prefect, who received the news, brought a large group of officials to welcome him at Huangpu Port Wharf early. Not to mention that Yinzhen himself is a prince, even with his identity as an imperial envoy, the officials of Songjiang Prefecture did not dare to neglect the slightest.

Yinzhen got off the boat and stood south. A group of officials, led by Songjiang Prefect Zhu Yanzhi, knelt down neatly and said, "I am appointing the lords."

"Sages."

"Long live, long live." After kneeling three times and nine times, the officials stood up and knelt down again to greet Yinzhen, "The officials have met the Fourteenth Master, the Fourteenth Master Jin An."

Yinzhen stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Let's flat."

Zhu Yanzhi stood up and walked forward and smiled: "The Fourteenth Master was exhausted. The lower official had prepared some wine and water in the agarwood Pavilion to wash the fourteenth Master. I hope the Fourteenth Master will appreciate his face."

Yinzhen wanted to stay in Shanghai for a few years, so he naturally had to give face to these local officials. He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Lord Zhu."

Seeing that Yinzhen was friendly, Zhu Yanzhi felt relieved, and while winking at the Shanghai magistrate Xu Shizhen, he asked him to be responsible for the entourage brought by Yinzhen, he reached out to let Dao follow behind Sisi.

Zhu Yanzhi came to welcome Yinzhen this time, in addition to etiquette, with private purposes. He is a Han official, and he is only in his early forties this year and has been working in the local area. He worked hard for more than ten years and finally got the fat qualifier of Songjiang, but he did not expect that when the new governor of Liangjiang, Gali, got off the car, he gave a warning to Jiangsu officials. He impeached and dismissed Jiangsu Governor Yu Zhun, governor Yi Sigong, and inspector Jiao Yinghan and three second-rank officials.

Then in late October, Gali impeached Jia Pu, the Minister of Grain of Susong, Chen Pengnian, the governor of Suzhou, Xu Yuanshi, and Zhu Yanzhi, the governor of Songjiang. Gali, as the governor of Liangjiang, was a man of the Huangqin of Manzhou Province, and was a hero. He was always appreciated by Kangxi, and he did not take the second-rank official seriously. Moreover, he was a fourth-rank prefect, and when he heard the news, Zhu Yanzhi was uneasy and could not sleep or eat.

After learning that Yinzhen was coming to Shanghai, Zhu Yanzhi saw a glimmer of hope in despair. He immediately inquired about the situation of the 14th prince. After learning that Yinzhen had just opened the palace and was well-loved by the holy prince, he felt that his turnaround had come. Since he had just opened the palace, it means that Yinzhen had a weak foundation and lacked people under his command. Although he, a fourth-rank prefect, is a little small, he has a good place. Isn't Yinzhen going to build an ocean-going fleet in Shanghai? As long as he can strongly support him, he can get on this big tree. No matter how awesome you, the governor of Liangjiang, can you be better than a popular prince?

With this idea in mind, Zhu Yanzhi was very concerned about Yinzhen's reception arrangements. Yinzhen didn't know Zhu Yanzhi's ideas. He was now full of the idea of ​​how to show off his strength in Shanghai and develop Shanghai into the largest port in Asia in his own hands. He didn't like these empty polite etiquettes in the officialdom, so he responded to it in a hurry. After remembering the main officials, he left the seat early on the grounds of being exhausted by the boat.

Seeing that Yinzhen was not in high spirits, Zhu Yanzhi sent him to the Shanghai magistrate Xu Shizhen and had already arranged his residence - Liuchun Garden. This is a local rich man's farewell garden. However, when the two were about to say goodbye, Yinzhen said, "Two sirs, Yinzhen has just arrived in Shanghai, and many things have to rely on you."

Seeing that it was an opportunity, Zhu Yanzhi hurriedly said, "It is a great blessing for the subordinates to be able to work hard for the 14th Master. The 14th Master has condemned him, and even if he goes through fire and water, he will never refuse."

As soon as he said this, Xu Shizhen became depressed. As the prefect said so explicitly, how could you tell me, the magistrate? This Master Beile is in Shanghai, so he had to say vaguely: "The officials are afraid. It is the duties of the officials to share the worries of the Fourteenth Master. If the fourteenth Master needs it, even if he is instructed, the officials will do their best."

Yinzhen glanced at Zhu Yanzhi in surprise. It is not something that can be said randomly. It is only something that a minister can say to the king and a slave to the master. Does this man want to join his disciple? Before he came to Shanghai, he had some understanding of the officials in Jiangsu, especially the officials in Songjiang. Zhu Yanzhi was a Han official and was a Jinshi. He was promoted from a county magistrate to a prefect step by step. His official reputation was pretty good. He also reported outstandingly for two consecutive years. He was a long-standing official. He could not say the wrong thing. Could something happen?
