Sea Transportation

But when he said this, Tao Daotai felt frustrated. He originally thought that as long as he took out the Nanlong Bay inspection position, Liu Peng would definitely agree to cooperate with him as soon as possible.

After all, Yang Guangwen has been in charge of the overall situation in Zhucheng and Juzhou for more than a year, but the reputation is not right and it is very troublesome to do things. There are always people who don’t take Yang Guangwen seriously.

Now he not only gave up the Nanlongwan inspection location to Longkou, but also Longkou can take the opportunity to accept dozens of archers from the entire Nanlongwan Inspection Department. In the future, Zhucheng would do no problem in Juzhou.

However, Liu Peng was not interested in the Nanlong Bay inspection location, which forced Tao Lang to use a big killing weapon in the first place, which was Liu Peng's promotion problem.

But Liu Peng smiled and said, "Tao Daotai, you are my old boss. Let's open the skylight and say something. If you can get Yiyu Jun, you won't be Wanshijun... If I really send 10,000 stone rice beans to Liaodong, would Tao Daotai be willing to give me a Wanshijun?"

"How is this possible!" Although Tao Langxian was willing to support Wei Yujun, who was not famous and had no share, he felt that Liu Peng was thinking too much about this issue: "Mr. Liu, you also know that you are an official, and according to the rules of the state, you are not above the seventh rank, and you have only become a county magistrate!"

The Ming Dynasty officialdom was the most important thing, while the officials were almost the lowest, and there was almost no possibility of promotion.

A most typical example is that the dictionary is mainly from an official. Someone once counted the resumes of 486 Shandong dictionary, but found that only twelve of the 486 dictionary have the opportunity to continue to be promoted in the official career, and half of the twelve dictionary who were promoted were not from a historian.

So Tao Lang first thought that Liu Peng was just a daydream. He was a little man from an official who was born in an official, no matter how powerful he was, how could he be the Lord of Wanshi? Even being a magistrate would be a miracle among miracles.

But Liu Peng continued to ask, "Then can I be a magistrate?"

Tao Langxian shook directly and said, "If Mr. Liu had a fame, it would be a great opportunity to make achievements now. It might be a bit possible to get a magistrate, but unfortunately..."

This is still a matter of origin. Although it is rare for Jinshi magistrates, the juren magistrates are the mainstream. Even if they are not good, they need a tribute scholar. They are from a prison student. The last time Shandong was born as an official, he could be a magistrate. It was Zhang Juzheng who was in power in the early years of Wanli. At that time, it was said that Zhang Juzheng used his extraordinary job.

You should know that the magistrate is different from ordinary officials. The Ming Dynasty had a single official system. Whether it was a prefect or a magistrate, he was the only one in charge. The county magistrate below was the ruthless, and Dianshi was at most a deputy county magistrate in charge and could not fight against the magistrate at all.

If the magistrate wants to act recklessly, they have no power to resist, so the magistrate and the magistrate are really short. Unless it is still the era of Zhang Juzheng, Liu Peng will not have any chance to be the magistrate.

Therefore, Liu Peng said with disappointment: "So I said, if you don't be Wan Shijun, I just want Yiyu. Since you can't be the magistrate, it's better to hold your wife and stay at home!"

Tao Lang felt that he knew Liu Peng’s thoughts best. He had made a complete plan before he came. He immediately said, “Although he can’t be a magistrate, he has experience!”

His experience is also a seventh-rank official, and he is in charge of writing, which is similar to the office director. However, he has experience in the province, the government, and the guards, and his status is very different.

More importantly, the magistrate is a solitary official, but his experience is a sergeant, so Liu Peng stood up immediately: "But the experience of Dengzhou Prefecture? That's still a very shortage!"

Liu Peng once discussed his promotion with Kong Zhan Kong's Promotion Officer, Dengzhou Su Tong's magistrate Song County, Penglai and others. The final conclusion was that if he, the county magistrate, had two best choices, one was the experience of the mansion, and the other was the judge of the state.

For him, it would be at least a good choice if he could win the Dengzhou Prefecture experience. However, although Tao Langxian was Liu Peng's old boss, he did not want Liu Peng to come to Dengzhou Prefecture to work as the experience department.

Experience in charge of the transfer of documents and the storage of documents in Dengzhou Prefecture are all the responsibilities of the experience. Once Liu Peng has been in the experience of the experience department, the daily affairs of the entire Dengzhou Prefecture will be under Liu Peng's control. Tao Daotai felt that he would not have much work in the future.

Therefore, Tao Langxian immediately said: "Young Master Liu, the experience of the government is related to the official business. You are a clerk and have too little qualifications. I'm afraid it's difficult to handle it. You can only find a security experience first."

The experience of the garrison is much simpler. Although the current garrison cannot be said to be in name only, the actual number of soldiers is generally about 30%. Most of these 30% of the soldiers are not able to fight. There are also a lot of deep-rooted military officers in the garrison. The experience of the garrison is not an important position. It often does not hold on to power or get money, and can only grind its qualifications.

The only advantage of Wei's experience is that Wei's experience is civil servants, and it is also the only civil servants in the entire Wei, not military officers. The status of military officers of the Ming generation has been declining, so Wei's status is also slowly rising, and there are even some fierce conflicts with military officers.

Liu Peng was a little disappointed: "Wei experience...this...this..."

Tao Langxian immediately said: "Mr. Liu, don't forget the example of Judge Jin Tong. He also transferred to Wei first..."

The Jin Tongzong mentioned by Tao Langxian is a true legend in the entire Shandong officialdom. After the orthodox dynasty, the only official who was clearly an official who had been a clerk but had successfully crossed the seventh rank to become a clerk of the sixth rank. Any official who was a clerk regarded this Jin Tongzong as his life goal.

The judge Jin Tong was transferred to the position of county magistrate and then promoted from the experience of the guard to the court, pointing out a relatively feasible route for official promotion to officials who were from officials. However, no one except Jin Tong Tong, could replicate such a successful route.

Therefore, when Tao Lang talked about the example of Jin Tong, Liu Peng nodded and shook his head. He immediately asked another question: "Can you run down immediately when the Wei experiences? And is there any way for Tao Daotai to help me?"

These are two problems on the surface, but in essence, they are one problem. After all, although Tao Langxian was a fourth-rank official, and the experience of the Wei was only from a seventh-rank official, the Ming Dynasty even had the appointment power of foreign officials in the Ministry of Personnel. So whether Tao Langxian had the ability to help him get the experience of this Wei was naturally a big problem.

After hearing Liu Peng's words, Tao Daotai suddenly became excited: "Mr. Liu, please rest assured, although I am just a Taoist minister now, I am ordered to preside over the Shandong shipping. It should be no problem to recommend a ward experience, but the premise is that we have to transport tens of thousands of stones of rice beans more!"

Tao Lang was very confident when he said this. Although he was very utterly speaking, this time it alarmed Emperor Wanli himself. According to the information Tao Daotai found out, if he could handle the maritime transportation well, he would naturally be able to make a fortune.

Everyone knows that Liaodong is short of food and money, and the military and civilians are not given food and clothing. The first priority to stabilize the battle situation in Liaodong is to solve the food and money problem in Liaodong, among which the military food problem is the most important.

Tao Lang first presided over the shipping route in the name of Dengzhou Haifang Road. In fact, this "maintaining shipping" task made him successfully surpass all the road platforms that were originally comparable to him. Perhaps only the grain platform of the Supervisor Grain Road can be equal to him.

In fact, he not only took away a large part of the power of the Grain Station, but also because the Liaodong shipping was the top priority, he could reach Tianting directly. In some aspects, his power had surpassed the Grain Station, second only to the governor, the governor, and the censor.

So he felt that if the Liaodong shipping matters were done well, it would be no problem to mention Liu Peng to the position of his experience. But now Liu Peng has something to say: "Ten thousand stones? It's tens of thousands of stones in the end! Besides, I heard that Liao Town now only needs silver and no grain."

Although Denglai Shipping for Liaodong is a good thing, it has touched too much on the current interest structure, which has triggered rebounds in all aspects. The reason why Tao Langxian praised Wei Yujun's field and even was willing to recommend Liu Peng to work as a guard was that he had already received the news that Emperor Wanli and the cabinet had decided to suspend Denglai Shipping this year.

As for the excuse, it is ridiculous. Liaodong claims that the price of Denglai is only one ounce lower than that of Liaodong. When Denglai starts transporting Liaodong, one stone of rice will require two taels of silver to pay for the money, which is not worth the loss. Therefore, Denglai is required to transport silver to Liaodong instead of directly transporting rice and beans. At that time, as long as there are more than 100,000 taels of silver, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain can naturally be collected on the spot. Such actions are a disadvantage for Denglai or Liaodong.

Although they were very vocal, Tao Langxian understood that this was the reason that touched the vested interest class, so they had such ridiculous excuses.

Therefore, he immediately expressed his thoughts: "Mr. Liu, Denglai will sooner or later transport rice and beans to Liaodong, so he must deliver them..."

He immediately said: "Liaodong is a place where food is short and it is difficult to be self-sufficient. It has always been Denglai to transport grain to Liaodong. After Fushun Fort and Qinghe Fort, Liaodong not only had tens of thousands of passenger troops, but the use of grain is more than twice as high as usual, but also frequent wars. The farmers are running around and the harvest is not enough to be half of the usual harvest."

Due to the direct impact of the war, Liaodong's grain production will definitely be greatly reduced, and the demand for military rations has not only doubled. Under this situation, it has become impossible to buy grain at a low price in Liaodong: "Liaodong says that the price of rice is only a few dollars, which is more economical than the transportation of Denglai, but they use more than 100,000 taels of silver to buy rice on the market. Is it still the same price?"
