Chapter 405 Nancheng Soldiers and Horses
When he arrived at the gatehouse and saw the Wei Dynasty, Liangchen remembered that he didn't ask Xi Li if he had brought Zhu Youxiao to raise him. Now he would definitely not be able to look back, so he thought that he would talk about it next time he had the chance. The second uncle from the left has now gone to Sichuan and probably won't be able to come back in less than a year or two.
Wei Chaozheng was bored and was watching "Spring and Autumn" when he looked up and saw Eunuch Wei who had entered before coming out. He couldn't help but smile, but he wondered why Empress Li had told the other party for so long.
I was wondering about the Shouning House, who never came to the door, and suddenly sent someone to visit Empress Li. Is it because of the instructor of the Concubine? The other side wanted to get closer to the master? If this is the case, I would have to listen to what the Prince said when I turned around. It would be a great thing to ask Empress Wang to really change her temperament to the master.
Because of my affairs, the eunuchs of the East Palace such as Wei Chao were shorter than other yamen. Those with a little bit of duty could drink five or six. If it weren't for the eunuch Wang An as the eunuch who was in the rank of the rank of the eunuch, the deceased ancestor Chen would have taken good care of the East Palace when he was alive. I wonder what the East Palace would be bullied.
"Is Eunuch Wei reading a book?" No matter how disliked the Wei Dynasty, Liang Chen was still very polite in his face.
"I dare not be the father-in-law's name. The little one is just looking around without any trouble." When Wei Chao spoke, he specially lifted the "Spring and Autumn Annals" in his hand, looking as if he was about to finish reading it.
"Study well, study hard, and improve every day." Liang Chen laughed, and put aside the famous sayings that Wei Chao had never heard before, and said goodbye.
After leaving the East Palace, Liangchen did not go around, and honestly left the palace from Donghuamen. Then he called Oda and Sanada, who had been outside the imperial city, and went straight to the "Imperial Envoy" of Eunuch Wei outside Zuoanmen.
Zheng Duo was quick to do things quickly and was very quick to do things. The two long banners on which the good minister told him were already inserted into the courtyard. The long banner was seven or eight meters high and stood in the courtyard. It could be seen from the nursing home, which was very conspicuous.
Liangchen looked at the big plaque happily at the door, feeling very accomplished. No matter what, from today on, Wei Liangchen has a formal job and a serious civil servant in the system. If he wants to put it aside in his previous life, he, the chief supervisor, is also a department-level cadre of the Central Secretariat. After working for twenty years, he will not have to worry about being promoted to the deputy department, and going out to release him, which is the treatment of the local governor.
Twenty years are too long, I have to seize the day.
The deputy minister was not the ultimate goal of Liangchen, he set himself a small goal for a national-level civil servant.
The higher the status, the more you can do, and you can do things.
The internal officials supervise the external office, everything starts here.
"Let me ask someone to paint the plaque with golden paint. Yesterday my family had to shine, be imposing and classy." Liangchen was a little dissatisfied with the ordinary white background and black paint.
"Wear golden paint?" Zheng Duo felt a little painful, "Father-in-law, our money is almost gone."
"oh?"
Liangchen touched his head, and the expenditure was a problem.
Now that the shelves are set up, there must be an input immediately for office funds and employee salaries, otherwise the remaining amount on hand would be really difficult to maintain.
"Free money first, let's find a way to deal with the money."
Liangchen said as he entered the yard, and several subordinates who surrendered to the Japanese and Zheng Duo were busy. When Liangchen came in, everyone put down their work and came to pay their respects.
Liangchen brought back ten surrendered Japanese soldiers from outside the pass, and Zheng Duo had 34 people under his command, totaling forty-four. In order to resettle these people, Liangchen asked Zheng Duo to rent several more houses around the yard, which led to a lot of expenses. If Yang Hao sent the person Liangchen wanted, the place would definitely not be enough and he had to rent another house. If Liangchen could not get a lot of money as soon as possible, just the personnel arrangement would be enough, he would immediately declare his Eunuch Wei bankrupt.
It was almost evening, and Liangchen asked everyone to go down to rest. Zheng Duo had arranged the food before. He invited two old women nearby to help cook, and gave them one or two or three cents of silver a month. He said that it was not too much, but it was not too little. In terms of food, Liangchen believed in Zheng Duo. Basically, the old man with black faced had handed him the remaining money.
Zheng Duo was also driving the ducks to put them on the shelves. He killed the horse bandits who went over the fire and turned to the housekeeper's nature. At first, he was really uncomfortable. It was considered as feeling the stones across the river. It was rare to be able to do something that the good ministers had told him to do well. It would be difficult for him to do better.
"Does my father-in-law want to live in a place?" Zheng Duo made an account of his recent expenses. He had limited literacy, so his subordinates helped him to do this.
Liangchen took over the account and trusted Zheng Duo, so he should still use the purpose. Although he has no doubt about using people, he cannot be the boss.
"You guys go down first, I'll write something before going to the residence."
The good minister let someone leave and started writing a plan to go out to the sea alone in his public housing.
This plan is prepared to be handed over to Zhang Cheng for review and then transferred to Wanli.
After grinding it myself, and then drawing a chart of East and Southeast Asia based on the impression in my mind, Liangchen lifted and put the pen in his hand, put it up and lifted it up. He really didn't know where to start.
Finally, his brush tip drew a circle on the land of the senior official.
A senior official, namely Taiwan.
Without the escort of a powerful navy, Liangchen did not dare to go to Luzon and other places to make money, so he chose to start with Taiwan first.
Just like playing a game, it is easy to start and then difficult to do.
Taiwan is not yet developed yet. The Ming Dynasty only set up a inspection department in Penghu. However, there was no Ming Dynasty power on the island of Taiwan. The Dutch red-haired ghost did not touch it. It can be said to be a virgin land. However, Fujian and Zhejiang coastal areas have close contacts with the indigenous people on the island of Taiwan, and the maritime trade that has been transferred to Taiwan is very developed.
To put it bluntly, this maritime trade is pirates. There are no red-haired ghost pirates in Taiwan at present, but there are Japanese pirates and Ming pirates. Those maritime merchants who have close ties with Zhejiang and Fujian and Taiwan are pirates.
Generally speaking, when it comes to Taiwan, you always think of the Zheng family.
If he had been here for more than ten or twenty years later, Liangchen might have made a decision to attack Zheng Zhilong, but by counting the time, Zheng Zhilong is at most ten-year-old baby, just like Li Zicheng, and there is nothing to beat him.
Therefore, the good minister decided to be the overlord of the East Asian Sea by himself.
The pirates in the Ming Dynasty, who were under the tyranny of Eunuch Wei, could always lure them into the group. If they could not tempt, they could even get rid of them. As for those Japanese pirates, there was nothing to worry about - Liangchen was in the hands of the authentic Japanese army, and East Asia was the vanguard of prosperity.
After solving the problem of funding, personnel and armed forces, Liangchen immediately took people south to Fujian to explore the situation. He wrote a maritime plan alone in his house, making the story of Taiwan's island and trade talks full of excuses, and he set a goal for Wanli with certainty--within three years, at least 500,000 taels of silver in the inner treasury.
This number was calculated by Liangchen himself. According to his original intention, it would be worthy of Wanli if he had 100,000 taels. But if he wanted to let Wanli pay for his big fanfare, the emperor was a bit too cheap, so he would have applied for more. Anyway, three years were there, and there was always a way to solve it.
After writing, he was about to ask Zheng Duo to send someone to Zhang Cheng's private house outside the palace, but there was a noise outside, making a noise.
