Chapter 2515

Recognizing the Xu family's privileges in Fujian, in exchange for the Xu family's complete surrender, and the peaceful transition of the region's governance, is a very cost-effective deal for Haihan. And for the Xu family, this is also a way to preserve the family.

The only solution for prosperity. Both sides can avoid fierce conflicts in the process of competing for control of the Fujian region. Objectively speaking, it is an agreement to achieve a win-win situation.

During this process, the Xu family completely opened up its authority in the fields of finance, trade, culture and education in Fujian, allowing the free flow of funds, materials, and personnel. This was also one of the contents of the agreement reached between the executive committee and Xu Xinsu at that time. The penetration of these fields

Operation is Haihan's strength. In just a few years, he will be able to gradually control the lifeblood of various fields in Fujian in his own hands.

Ha Jianyi only knew that Xu Jiajun was undergoing reorganization and restructuring in recent years, but he did not know that this situation was also going on quietly in other fields, but it was just not as obvious as the changes in the political and military fields.

However, this also highlights the thoughtfulness of this team's staffing. The other three people happened to have access to relevant information, which was enough to help Ha Jianyi improve his understanding of the situation in Fujian.

"It's a pity that we have official business this time, otherwise we could go to Zhangzhou for a few days. More than half of the young children of the Xu family have studied in Sanya, and they should have many topics in common with us."

Although the Fujian coast to the west could not be seen from the boat, Bai Letong couldn't help but sigh, as if he was thinking of some people he had met before.

Ning Zijing smiled and said, "I heard that Brother Bai is very attached to a young lady sent by the Xu family to study in Sanya. However, it seems that the young lady from the Xu family has returned home after studying. Could it be that Brother Bai wants to visit his old friend in Zhangzhou?"

Bai Letong's face turned red and he said, "How can this happen? Zijing, don't talk nonsense!"

Over the years, the Xu family has been selecting talented children from the family to study in Sanya. Later, they gradually began to imitate the high-ranking officials of Haihan and sent girls with good conditions from the family to Sanya to study finance, medical and other majors.

Knowledge. During their studies abroad, these children of the Xu family often made friends with the children of high-ranking officials in Haihan, and it is not uncommon for young men and women to have feelings for each other. Of course, it is hard to say whether the Xu family made such an arrangement with the intention of promoting a marriage.

It's just that when the people in time arrange marriages for their children, the priority is often given to the same group, followed by the naturalized officials or big businessmen who work for Haihan, and then it is the turn of external forces like the Xu family. Therefore, the senior officials of Haihan and the original

Although there were marriages between dignitaries in the Ming Dynasty, most of them were officials stationed abroad like Shi Diwen, and they were rare among the families of high-ranking officials at the level of executive committee members.

However, Bai Letong's reaction was quite obvious. The reason why he wanted to go to Zhangzhou was probably not that simple. The other three were also similar in age and family environment to him, so how could we not see something fishy in this.

Tao Hongfang took the initiative to suggest: "I think Brother Bai can spare a few days to visit Zhangzhou on his return trip. If we can go south together then, it won't hurt to accompany you."

Bai Letong understood that if he made any further judgments at the moment, he would only get darker and darker, so he could only divert the topic and said: "After I arrive in Hangzhou, we will all have our own tasks, and we may not all be able to work together in one place. As for the return journey, we are even more uncertain.

, let’s talk about it then.”

All joking aside, they did not plan to stop at any port in Fujian on their way north, and the young men did not dare to change their itinerary, so the official ship continued its journey north, heading straight for Zhejiang.

After sailing out of the Fujian Strait, the ship adjusted its direction and sailed northward close to the mainland coastline to ensure that it could reach the shore in time to avoid wind and waves when the sea conditions were bad.

Tao Hongfang and others couldn't wait any longer, so they asked the captain to bring out the nautical chart. Based on the navigation knowledge they had learned in the past, they followed the chart and calculated the position and course of the official ship, and then confirmed it with the captain and sailors. This practice

This trip can not only kill the boring time during the voyage, but also familiarize yourself with navigation knowledge and gain a more intuitive understanding of the territory of this huge empire.

After sailing a thousand miles further north from Taiwan Island, we entered the waters of the Zhoushan Islands, and there began to be more and more sailing ships of all kinds sailing on the sea.

The captain asked them to decide whether to stop and rest in Dinghai Port before heading to Hangzhou. After some discussion, the four young people decided to rest in Dinghai Port for one night because they really wanted to see it with their own eyes.

What does this trading port, "the first port in the East China Sea", look like?

When the official ship arrived at Zhoushan Port, the sky was already getting dark, but we could still see the port terminal here clearly with the twilight. Compared with the Kaohsiung Port we visited before, the natural conditions of Dinghai Port are actually slightly worse, but the construction

The scale is much larger than that of Kaohsiung Port.

The entire port is divided into two parts with Xiaozhushan in the middle. The east side is the civilian port, and the west side is the military port where the East China Sea Fleet is stationed. The division of labor is very clear. Although Shi Diwen has currently moved the military command center of the East China Sea Region.

Although they arrived in Hangzhou, the station of the East China Sea Fleet was still at Dinghai Port. And the official ship they were traveling on, which had a formal establishment, could naturally sail into the military port and dock.

But perhaps it is precisely because Shi Diwen is no longer in charge here in Zhoushan that the arrival of Tao Hongfang and others did not cause much reaction at Dinghai Port. After the officers on duty at the port made clear their identities and intentions, they just went step by step.

We arranged accommodation and supplies for them, and reminded them not to move around in the military area. If you want to go to a livelier place, you can go to the commercial district on the east side of Dinghai Port on your own, but you can only walk to Xiaozhushan first.

A carriage can only be hailed nearby.

The accommodation arranged for them was neither a high-end inn nor a private manor. It was just a local guest house used to receive government officials. The conditions were naturally not very good. And because there were too many guests, Tao Hongfang and others' entourage

It was not possible to arrange check-in for everyone, and some people had to go back to the ship to spend the night.

However, Tao Hongfang and others are not the kind of playboys who only care about having fun. They did not complain in front of the local staff, but accepted the arrangement calmly.

"It seems like we haven't received the news here yet that we're coming."

After the staff left, Bai Letong couldn't help but express his opinion. It wasn't that he disliked the poor conditions of his residence, but compared with the treatment he had received in Hong Kong and Kaohsiung before, the gap here in Zhoushan seemed to be

It's indeed a bit big.
