Chapter 159
Eat the sea by the sea
Liu Peng quickly reported to his family: "My surname is Liu, and I am a young deputy in the Huangxian official family."
The young deputy? Xu Zhen wanted to cut off the young master Liu in front of him with one knife. A mere deputy wanted to make his master of the main flag completely surrender!
But as soon as this thought came to my mind, I heard Liu Peng say calmly: "It's just that the county knows that I have a way in Silijian and Dongchang, so I specially asked me to be responsible for welcoming and seeing off all the mining supervisors and tax envoys in Beijing. I heard that your Dengzhou Guard is a mountain of gold and silver..."
The words Silijian, Dongchang, Mining Supervisor, and Tax Envoy were smashed out, making Xu Zhenxing look at him and didn't know where he should stand now!
Compared with the county magistrates and elders of Shangzhou, the garrison was more influenced by eunuchs. In each strategic direction, there will be names such as "super-in-chief" and "super-in-chief" officials. They are all powerful and arrogant, but compared with the eunuchs of the garrison, the less-in-chief of the Sili Prison, and the big names of the East Factory, nothing is counted.
And after Liu Peng reminded me, Xu Zhen finally realized that there was indeed a person named Liu Peng, Liu Dashen, but Huang County and Dengzhou Wei have always been in peace. How could he cause trouble for himself?
He decided to pick himself out quickly: "Mr. Liu, our Dengzhou Guards are very poor and have no gold and silver at all. Look, the brothers not only can't even get enough armor, but also have uneven weapons."
"Then I will take you Dengzhou Wei to make a fortune. Why did you stop it and even want to rebel?"
Liu Peng was charged with a great crime, but Xu Zhen could hear a deeper meaning. He immediately asked, "Mr. Liu, are you going to take our Dengzhou Wei to make a fortune? I don't know what kind of fortune it is."
He was just a small general flag. Although he was in charge of several piers near Longkou, there was almost nothing except a pair of soldiers left by his ancestors. Liu Peng quickly said: "I want to build a pier and buy some Liaodong specialties for Baohe Store. Why are you obstructing me?"
Outsiders may not know what Baohe Store is, but Xu Zhen knew very well that Baohe Store is a royal store run by the inner government, and the business is extremely large. There are thousands of employees below. It can be said that Baohe Store has a business in all directions, which is almost equal to two barrels of oil in another time and space.
Xu Zhen did not believe that Liu Peng wanted to build this trestle to buy some Liaodong specialties for Baohedian. If Baohedian really wanted to buy some Liaodong specialties, there would naturally be more ways, but he felt that Liu Peng must have access to a certain eunuch in the Silijian, so when he built the trestle, he was not afraid of his own garrisons and his garrisons disrupting the situation.
Since he understood this, Xu Zhen certainly wanted to change his words, but Liu Peng snorted toughly: "You Huanghe Village is so irritable. I want to take you rich, but you have blocked it. That's fine. Yellowhe Village is not irritable, so I'll go to Mazhang Village!"
Huanghe Village and Madianzhai are two hundred households in Huang County. However, Huanghe Village belongs to Dengzhou Guards. Madianzhai is clearly located in Huang County, Dengzhou Prefecture, but it is affiliated with Laizhou Guards. This is a concrete manifestation of the Ming Taizu's policy of intertwining the staggered policy of the big and small ministers, but now it gives Liu Peng the opportunity to fish in the water.
If the Yellow River Village refuses to cooperate, Liu Peng will go to the Mazhan Village of Laizhou Guard, so Xu Zhen immediately squeezed out his smile: "Mr. Liu, this is a great thing! It is beneficial to the country and the people. The villain must support it. If you need the villain to help you, the villain will definitely do it for you."
But as soon as Xu Zhen spoke, Li Minghai said over there: "Mr. Liu, it is this Mr. Xu. As soon as he opens his mouth, he will ask us for 100 taels of silver. From now on, he will also pay tribute to him every month, otherwise it will ruin your good deeds and will not be able to get along with you guys!"
When Li Minghai said this, Xu Zhen's face looked quite embarrassed, but Liu Peng didn't agree. He smiled and said, "It's all about getting rich together and being happy! Mr. Xu, tell me, why do you want to ruin the good things that are good for the literati and the country and the people?"
Xu Zhen immediately said: "I am afraid of affecting the dock business in Huanghe Village. I didn't expect that Silijian and Baohe Store are far-sighted. It's because the villain thought too much!"
What he was talking about is the truth. The Hundred Houses of Huanghe Village, Dengzhou Wei, mentioned by Xu Zhen, were also a natural port. They usually make small fusses to do some smuggling business. There is an additional dock on Longkou, and the business in the Yellowhe Village will definitely be affected. Therefore, Xu Zhen decided to bring people over to ruin the matter.
But Liu Peng saw further than Xu Zhen: "Even if you make money every day in the Yellow River Village, Mr. Xu is not a hundred-family master, how much can you get? After they have made money, you are still drinking the northwest wind in Longkoudun. Mr. Xu, you are still too young!"
After Liu Peng reminded me, Xu Zhen couldn't help but throw Changyu in his hand to the ground. He finally understood and said, "Yes, this is true. I will fight to the death. How many benefits can those people in the Yellow River Village give me!"
Now Longkou Bay can be said to be a bitter and cold place, and the headquarters of the Baihunting House of the Yellow River Village is basically in the sky and underground. Xu Zhen was simply excluded from the men in the Yellow River Village to Longkoudun. Although the river is full of water, the Yellow River Village has mountains of gold and silver, and there is not much real gold and silver in Longkoudun.
Liu Peng continued to persuade Xu Zhen: "Master Qi Xu, you are the head of Longkoudun. There is an additional dock in Longkou. As long as you help Baohedian get things done, it will naturally have great benefits for you. If you don't say anything else, will you be willing to take land or water to get goods in the future?"
Xu Zhen is a smart man, so he woke up at one point: "Of course, it's a waterway. There is a wharf on the other side of the Yellow River Village. Why do I have to go all the way to get the goods? Speaking of which, if there is a wharf, I will do some small business at will better than now."
There are three piers near Longkou. These three piers are the most despised among the hundreds of households in the Yellow River Village. This area is simply an undeveloped royal pasture. It is desolate and the northwest wind blows from morning to night. Not only does it have no oil and water, but it can't even be unable to support it. It can be said that it is hunger and cold and heat.
Seeing Xu Zhenqing looking towards Liu Peng, someone from Longkoudun said, "No business is needed! You can make a lot of money by fishing in the sea. Master of the General Banner, we have a fishing boat hidden by the Yellow River Village. I don't know where to fish and unload the goods, but now I'll come over to do some business for Mr. Liu!"
As the saying goes, by relying on the mountains and by the sea, the coastal areas of Denglai can be said to have the most favorable benefits of fishing and salt. With a little development, it is comparable to the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River. However, the Ming Dynasty implemented an extremely strict sea ban policy in Denglai. Even coastal garrisons strictly prohibited going into the sea, and even commercial actions such as fishing that are beneficial to the country and the people are strictly prohibited.
Although it is fundamentally impossible to fish in the sea by relying on the sea to eat, since everyone is thinking about escaping the attack all day long, the entire Shandong fishery can only stay at an extremely low level.
Xu Zhen was reminded by this man, and his face became ugly. He hadn't spoken for a long time. The man who gave his comments said again: "We have a lot of sea fish here, but there was no pier before, and I don't know how to transport the fishing catch to the shore!"
