You help me, I help you, everyone helps each other, learns from each other, and improves each other through learning. This is the requirement of Eunuch Wei for himself, and it is also the requirement of the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and friendly people.

Help is mutual. In his position as deputy director of the Thawing Committee, Hu Shihai actively used his connections to help Sunshine Thawing Capital Operation, absorbing a large number of local tyrants and evil gentry who are interested in thawing national assets. He made great contributions to the Thawing Committee. Therefore, Eunuch Wei has repeatedly instructed the Imperial Army and the Admiral Maritime Office to guard the Central Government Office to give sufficient care to friendly members such as Hu Shihai, effectively protect their rights, and effectively solve their life difficulties for them.

Specifically, in order to help Deputy Director Hu increase the sales scale of his porcelain, with the coordination of Director Zhao Quan, the Imperial Army targeted the commercial competitors of the Zhenjiang Lao Hu family in Fengjiang Jinghai and its subsequent operations, so that the porcelain industry of the Zhenjiang Lao Hu family accounted for 40% of the maritime sales scale of the entire Special Administrative Region, and this number is still growing.

In March this year, the Hu family had a conflict with a noble family in Nandu due to porcelain sales channels. At that time, the noble family threatened to destroy the Hu family. Fortunately, Director Zhao Quan intervened in time and captured the noble family with his reputation as the Imperial Army and Eunuch Wei. From then on, no one in Nandu dared to spy on the Hu family.

After receiving a lot of care from the Imperial Army, Deputy Director Hu naturally spared no effort to invest in the Sunshine Capital Operation Project.

For a period of time, Deputy Director Hu can be said to be forgetting to eat and sleep for work day and night, so that Director Zhao, who saw it, had repeatedly asked Deputy Director Hu not to do it, and if you continue to do it, your health will collapse.

"I would rather destroy me alone than destroy those hundreds of members, nor even more importantly, Eunuch Wei's major affairs!" Deputy Director Hu said.

After more than a year of business development, the Thawing Committee has established four major divisions, including Zhenjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Lujiang Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, Anqing Prefecture, Taiping Prefecture and other eleven prefectures, six prefectures and fifty-four counties. Tentacles have involved four provinces and one city in later generations, Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Shanghai.

There are 126 members below the fourth rank and 7 members above the fourth rank, of which as many as 60% have fame, 18 scholars, 57 Juren, and 19 Jinshi (including retired retirees). The rest of the members are either local tycoons or local geniuses, and those with wealth are extremely prominent.

The committee has now woven into a huge and secret business network, with many current officials among its members. For example, Wang Chengyun, the governor of Anqing, was a commissioner of Anqing District; and Mao Yilu, who was formerly a county magistrate of Shanghai and currently promoted to the Guangdong Provincial Censorate, is also a fifth-rank member.

So far, the thawing committee has raised as much as 670,000 taels of silver for the Maritime Special Zone yamen. It has received two commendations from Eunuch Wei, and has organized members of the fourth rank or above to participate in the Maritime Special Zone and the Ming Emperor's personal army twice.

The results are obviously very good, but Eunuch Wei is still a little dissatisfied because so far, the highest membership of the fourth grade or above is only the second grade, and there are no first grade or super grade members, which makes it difficult for large amounts to be paid.

Zhao Quan and Hu Shihai explained to Eunuch Wei that the reason why the high-quality members were not able to appear was that the amount of fundraising was too large, and the super product was as large as one million taels. With the current development time and official background of the thawing committee, it is difficult to attract wealthy people with such huge amounts to join.

Eunuch Wei was right when he thought about it. If he could take out a million taels at a time, he would probably not be fascinated by this treasure. Moreover, the official background that Eunuch Wei can provide now is also the Jiangnan guarding Zhongguanyi, which obviously cannot be controlled.

We still have to eat the food slowly. Now the four major areas are still a little smaller and we need to continue to expand. The Ming Dynasty was so big and there were so many rich people. As long as we continue to spread the stall, would we still be afraid that there will be no wealth in the future?

My father-in-law praised Zhao Quan and Hu Shihai for a while, and got the confirmation that the two of them would transport the latest fundraising of more than 200,000 taels within ten months. He happily accompanied them to have a meal in the maritime yamen.

In addition to his father-in-law himself, he also guarded the Central Government Office in Jiangnan.

Cao Hua was sent to Eunuch Wei in Beijing, nominally assisting, but actually surveillance. However, Cao Hua is also an honest man. He used to be a copying eunuch in the study room. This was his first time to be out, so he was timid in fear of something wrong. Therefore, the errands assigned to him by Eunuch Wei were done well. He is now mainly responsible for the executives of the Zhongguanyi Office and the construction of some key buildings such as the Yinzhuang and the Trade Office in Jiangnan.

In theory, when Eunuch Wei, the chief magistrate of Jiangnan, was not present, Cao Hua, the chief magistrate, was the head of the Zhongguan Office, and could even be responsible for admiring the maritime yamen and advising the Ming Emperor's personal army on behalf of Eunuch Wei. But in fact, Cao Hua certainly did not have these powers. He was honest and knew quite well. During the period when Eunuch Wei was not in the Special Administrative Region, he knew where he should ask and where he should not ask.

The day after my father-in-law returned, he visited several construction sites such as Yinzhuang in Jiangnan. Most of the buildings have been completed. Now some later paving projects are done. Several major avenues in the Special Zone have also been basically completed. For example, the maritime avenue that Eight Cars, which is more than 20 miles long, has been steep. Although it is incomparable to the roads in later generations, the steep work of this first "eight-vehicle two-way road" in the Ming Dynasty is still of a significance to collapse. Its steep work greatly increases the transportation volume of the Special Zone and the port, and has driven the development of commercial settlement areas on both sides of the road, effectively realizing the concept of "If you want to be rich, build roads first."

Cao Hua made great contributions, and his father-in-law has asked for credit from the inward court for him. However, the father-in-law is not very clear about who Cao Hua is, and the details of the other few guns and patrols are not very clear, but as long as these people do not cause trouble for him, his father-in-law is still willing to cooperate with them in a friendly manner.

My father-in-law knew very well that even if the emperor believed in him, he would not be able to put people around him. Cao Hua and others said that the Sili Supervisor was sent to the emperor to give the credit, but it was better to say that the emperor was sent to him. This was open, and there must be a group in secret.

In addition to Cao Hua, there was another person who also sat with him during the meal. This person was his father-in-law's first godson, Zhao Baole.

Baole was imprisoned in the prison of the Special Administrative Region for a period of time because of the corruption. Later, Baole was relieved of his anger and made a contribution to him, so he released him and helped An Zaizai to help coordinate the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce and the yamen under the maritime yamen, which was also a chance to atone for him to make contributions and atone for his sins.

Originally, Zhao Baole was not qualified to come to accompany the seat, but he accidentally opened a window for his father-in-law, so he took him seriously again.

What Baole opened a financial window for his godfather.
