The first day of reception ended, and Wang Jiang had a night chat with Zhang Huangyan at night, but Chen Wen really didn't have the time to do that. Even the next day, even Wang Jiang plunged into the complicated official business, and Zhang Huangyan had to arrange a civil servant to entertain him.

The next day, Zhang Huangyan rested in the inn for a day. In the evening, he had dinner with Chen Wen and Wang Jiang and went back to rest. The next day, accompanied by the civil servant in charge of the entertainment, he visited Nanchang City with a few guards in plain clothes.

The carriage left the inn and headed south to Guangrunmen according to Zhang Huangyan's request. He remembered that when he first came to Nanchang the day before yesterday, the officials who were waiting casually mentioned the prosperity of Guangrunmen.

Guangrunmen is adjacent to Ganjiang River and has always been a collection of department stores in Nanchang and where merchants gather. Zhang Huangyan and his party were sitting in a carriage. After a while, they got closer to Guangrunmen. However, the closer they were to Guangrunmen, the greater the traffic flow, and the speed of the carriage naturally became slower and slower. Fortunately, Zhang Huangyan was just going out to stroll around this time, and it was just a little slower to see it carefully.

Looking out from the carriage window, I saw that the shops on both sides of the streets and alleys had already opened. A large amount of goods were transported by Lifu on the dock and transported to the warehouse behind the streets and alleys. Under the command of the accountants and the staff, the goods were moved in and marked, and sometimes the staff even had to help themselves.

Zhang Huangyan sat in the carriage and couldn't see how much goods he had moved in, but none of the shops were deserted, and there were more or less men and women purchasing goods inside.

Most of the daily necessities are ordinary people. Zhang Huangyan knew that wealthy families generally had appointments with fixed shops, and some consumables that did not require the owner to choose would be shipped directly to the back door of the house, and those who were pushing small carts or driving donkey carts to the city were probably the same. But even if they entered the shop, some were greeted by the shopkeeper, and some were greeted by the shopkeeper himself, which was naturally very different.

Identity status, merchant strength or the sales volume of goods will be different - pursuing profit maximization is naturally necessary to make the best use of others.

The carriage slowly moved forward, including cotton market, daizixiang, Shangtangkou Street, and other streets not far from Guangrunmen. There are many shops in the department store.

Some do retail, some do wholesale, and more often have both, but the importance of the internal personnel still needs to be clearly distinguished. However, Zhang Huangyan could still hear that the Guangrunmen area is not just a local accent in Nanchang, but he listened little to Jiangxi Province, but the people in Zhejiang are very familiar with each other, and there are still a lot of them.

"Pushing close to Guangrun's door."

Zhang Huangyan silently recited this sentence, which he had just learned recently. The prosperity of this heyday can be seen from these seven words, and today I feel even more moved in my heart.

"I am a soldier, but this Guangrun Sect is still far inferior to that time."

There was a little desolation in the civil servant's words. Zhang Huangyan knew that the civil servant who was responsible for accompanying was a local. He joined the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Ming Army with Zhang Zisheng. He was not a survivor in the massacre a few years ago, because he had long been involved in the anti-Qing rebel army. However, as a local, he was used to the prosperity when he was young. Now even if he has begun to regain his vitality, he will inevitably feel in love with the scenery.

Zhang Huangyan, who was mentioned by the civil servants, did not know who it was, but Wang Jiang's subsequent governance was quite desirable. Lifu's labor intensity decreased, making more money, and the freight pressure at various terminals in Nanchang was also alleviated, which was the best of both worlds.

However, the capital city of Jiangxi, a province with a total population of 70 million, actually suffered a shortage of manpower in the Ming Empire, which really made Zhang Huangyan sigh.

"This shows how Jiangxi was slaughtered by the Tartars over the years."

The natural disaster at the end of the Ming Dynasty was a sharp decline. If the north could still be said to be a natural disaster, taxes, bandits, soldiers and bandits, and the Qing Dynasty, then the south was purely caused by my Qing Dynasty, and no one was qualified to compare with my Qing Dynasty.

Zhang Huangyan sighed with a grand sigh, and the carriage turned into a street. This street was clearly separated from other streets and alleys in Guangrunmen, and there was no large amount of goods coming in and out. Women accounted for the majority of the people walking on the street and entering and leaving the shops.

"this?"

"I don't know that this place is called Cuihua Street, which is where jewelry stores gather in Nanchang City. According to our Nanchang customs, any wedding event like a famous family or a well-off family must come here to buy a few pieces of jewelry. Even outsiders come to Nanchang, Cuihua Street is a must-see place."

"I see."

Zhang Huangyan nodded. The reason why ordinary people can have money to purchase jewelry for marriage is a phenomenon that will only be restored by people's livelihood. This trip to Guangrun Gate really made him feel a lot, but since he has been here, especially after listening to the explanation of the accompanying civil servants, he can't help but feel moved.

"Which shop has better workmanship? Can you take me to see it?"

Zhang Huangyan rebelled with Qian Sule and others in Ningbo. It has been more than ten years of ups and downs, but he rarely has the opportunity to go home once. Even his father died, he was unable to go back to attend the funeral. His wife, Dong, supported her father-in-law and only son in her hometown in the countryside, and kept her wife's way. Now Ningbo has been liberation for a year, and there is nothing he has done about the war. Maybe it's time to go back.

……………………

In history, Zhang Huangyan's wife Dong and his only son Zhang Wanqi were arrested by the Qing army and sent to prison. After Zhang Huangyan was captured, he would rather die than surrender. The Qing army executed his wife and only son three days before his execution on Zhang Huangyan, and then Zhang Huangyan's murder occurred.

Now, Ningbo has been liberation for a whole year, and Zhang Huangyan's family Chen Wen also specifically asked the local officials of Ningbo to take good care of it, so there will be no such tragedy in history again.

Chen Wen has done many similar things. Although not everyone will accept his affection, he only wants to be ashamed of his heart. However, for Zhang Huangyan, Chen Wen really doesn’t have much time to pull the last of the three heroes of West Lake into the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Mingjun Group, and everything is still going with the flow.

There was no way, Zhang Yingxiang's capture and news from Nanjing and other places all showed that Jiergalang was leading a large number of people to be transferred from Manchu, Mongolian, Han army Eight Banners and the elite Qing army from the northern green camp rushed south along the canal. Chen Wen originally planned to train some troops after Sun Kewang lifted the confrontation and then went north to recover Nanjing. Now that he was not Jidu, but Jidu's old man Jiergalang, he was not in a hurry at all.

According to calculations, when Jiergalang arrives in Nanjing, it will be after autumn. During this period, taxes are collected, equipment is built, recruiting and training troops are needed. Chen Wen needs to maintain a certain degree of military presence in Jiangxi to be able to be at ease to lead his army out of Hangzhou, Jiaxi, Hubei and Nanjing.

Those who have constant property and business have perseverance. This is the truth that Chen Wen has always believed in. The system he formulated has greatly promoted the improvement of the military's combat effectiveness from this point. This is just like Zheng Chenggong needs to bring the families of his soldiers by his side to ensure that the army will not collapse due to worrying that his old nest will be dug. Chen Wen also needs to ensure the safety of Jiangxi. Only when his family and military merits are effectively protected in the rear, can the soldiers who go to war wholeheartedly.

In addition, the issuance and implementation of the policy of exempting floating grain is also a major event that concerns the hearts and restoration of people's livelihood in Jiangxi. An unreasonable tax that has been implemented for more than two hundred years and almost three hundred years also requires great energy to abolish it. There are many things involved, and it is by no means possible to achieve actual results by opening and closing the lips.

A sum of silver was stopped here, and the grain was worth one million taels of income, so the attention on the sea trade was even greater. The Maritime Trade Department was still like that, regaining an additional coastal land could increase part of the income, but Chen Wen was concerned about the cargo of the dozens of sea ships.

……………………

On the third day of the seventh month of the ninth year of Yongli, Nagasaki Port, after several months of sailing, the Ming army's maritime trade fleet finally arrived in Japan.

A large fleet under the banner of the Ming army arrived, and the family of the Nagasaki clan of Japan came out to welcome him personally. Who made the captains who were employed by the Southeast gentry in the past two years say that the strength of the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang has regained the territory of nearly three provinces. The Ming court had a chance to turn the tables, but the prince of Kuaiji was not very good at matching.

"The old man from Changzhou family in Xiaguo..."

Before he finished speaking, two officers led by the Ming army fleet in Jiangsu and Zhejiang looked at each other, and the general with a beard rudely interrupted the etiquette of the Japanese minister.

"I don't have time to greet you. There is goods on the boat. I'll finish the transaction quickly and I'll go back and chop the Tartars."

Not to mention being an officer from the Southern Ming Dynasty, even the envoys who came to Japan to seek reinforcements had seen him, but it was rare to be so unpretentious as this one. Even if he had heard of some things about the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was really stunned.

This officer looked impatient, and the other officer named Zheng Qi was much more harmonious. Not only did he know a lot about Haimao, but he also spoke Japanese. However, Zheng Qi was harmonious, but he was no different from the other officer in his heart, which really made the elders feel a little uncomfortable.

"This hasn't driven out the Tartars yet, it's so hard to speak. There was no such thing when the envoys of King Lu and Prince Yanping came." He complained in his heart, but the elder still had the smile on his face to welcome others.

During the Renchen War, Japan's hundreds of thousands of elite warring countries destroyed Korea like taking objects. As a result, the Ming army, which was capped by only 40,000 to 50,000 people, was hung up and beaten. Since then, Japan has been very afraid of the Ming Dynasty's military power. Later, the Ming Dynasty was in decline, and the Qing Dynasty was in a state of unification. When the Ming court's envoy came to Japan, it turned into a request for help. Even a few years ago, there was a scene of crying for Qin Ting, and Japan's awe of China began to slowly decline.

This time the fleet of the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang arrived, and Changzhou Fan sent him here mainly to test what the person came. After all, the ship owners mentioned that the Ming army of Jiangsu and Zhejiang started with the mandarin duck formation, and some people said that the Prince of Kuaiji was the son-in-law of the Qi family in Penglai. The Qi family army was the nemesis of the Japanese. The Ming court is now in a big way, and there is no need to offend a powerful faction like Chen Wen for no reason.

"It's true that His Highness the King of Lu sent envoys to ask for reinforcements, and the lower country's Changzhou vassal strongly supported it. However, the shogunate had an order to not send troops..."

Going to Japan to beg for a military command is not unfamiliar with the Ming army in Jiangsu and Zhejiang from Dalan Mountain. There are also stories in the army that Chen Wen strongly advised Wang Yi to cancel his beg for a military command in Japan. Many people know Chen Wen's position.
