Chapter 2769

Shi Chengwu responded with a smile on his face: "The other party is a young lady from a Yangzhou salt merchant."

Ning Zijing spoke up from the side and said, "That young lady has a pretty face, is well versed in books and etiquette, and her words and demeanor reveal a ladylike temperament. She is indeed a perfect match for Brother Cheng Wu!"

Shi Chengwu's blind date was a son of a salt merchant, which did not surprise Zhu Zian. During his stay in Hangzhou, he also learned a lot about the Yangzhou salt merchants from various aspects.

Since Haihan took action to resolve the factional struggle among Yangzhou salt merchants more than ten years ago, the salt merchant group, mainly Huizhou merchants, began to get closer and closer to Haihan. During this period, the salt merchants' children gave up their family business and joined Haihan.

There are quite a few. For example, Dai Chengrong, the leader of the Second Regiment of the Seventh Lu Division stationed in Hangzhou, and Zhang Fengchu, the president of the Busan Haihan Chamber of Commerce. These people Zhu Zian had come into contact with were all Yangzhou salt merchants.

The marriage between Haihan and prominent figures in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is nothing new. Shi Chengwu’s mother was a relative of Qu Yutong, the former magistrate of Ningbo, and the marriage between the Shi and Qu families contributed to the later relationship between Donghai Region and Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Many local cooperation projects have even had a profound impact on Haihan's policy strategy in this region.

With the shrewdness of the Yangzhou salt merchants, since they have already embraced Haihan and gained huge profits from this choice, they naturally have to try to hold on tighter. Marrying with the ruler of the East China Sea region will make a big difference in the future.

It seems to be an excellent method at the moment.

Shi Chengwu has already held an important position in the army at a young age, and Shi Diwen has made no secret of his intention to train him. It is only a matter of time before he succeeds Shi Diwen. If the marriage is successful, this protective umbrella will allow Yangzhou salt merchants to

Being blessed in the next few decades can be said to be a good deal with huge profits. The Yangzhou salt merchants have strong financial resources. Now there are a large number of projects in the Donghai region that require capital investment. With the support of the Yangzhou salt merchants, Shi Shi will surely be able to benefit from it.

Devine's pressure has been reduced a lot.

The only adjective Zhu Zian could think of for this marriage was that it was a perfect match and everyone got what they needed. From a friend's point of view, he was also happy for Shi Chengwu and immediately suggested that everyone raise a toast in congratulations.

However, it was still too early for it to finally happen, and both parties were well-known figures. Everyone stopped talking after a few jokes, and did not continue to tease Shi Chengwu about this matter.

The topic soon returned to Zhu Zian. Everyone was curious about his situation on his first day in office and asked him to talk about his situation in this yamen.

If it were anyone else, Zhu Zian would definitely remain silent. After all, when Li Qingyang talked to him in the morning, he specifically mentioned the confidentiality regulations. However, these people present have special status and have access to far more information than himself. Zhu Zian

There is no need to worry about them leaking the secret.

Moreover, Zhu Zian knew that they were well-informed and more familiar with the procedures of Haihan officialdom than he was, so he could just ask them to help answer the difficult questions he encountered.

The first thing Zhu Zian wanted to ask about was Li Qingyang's immediate boss. If we could know more about his preferences, origins, and handling style, it might also help with his future development prospects in this yamen.

After listening to Zhu Zian's question, Shi Chengwu responded: "This Mr. Li was transferred from the south just a few years ago. I'm not very familiar with him. I only know that he has a lot of seniority and his superiors rely heavily on him. It is said that he is specially transferred to

Come to preside over the yamen of the Special Liaison Office. Regarding his situation, I have not specifically inquired about him. You have to ask Hongfang and the others."

Tao Hongfang shook his head and said, "I have never had any contact with Mr. Li... What about you?"

Ha Jianyi shook his head and said: "You have been in Sanya all year round and you don't know me, so let alone me."

Ning Zijing smiled and said: "It's quite a coincidence. I happen to know that. This Master Li was born in the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty. He was an official in the Hundred Households. Later, by chance, he joined our country and was taken into safe custody by Master He Xihe.

Department, specializes in Ming Dynasty intelligence work. He has served our country for more than 20 years. During this period, he has made outstanding achievements, but his reputation is not well known to the outside world. However, as far as I know, Mr. Li is old and it is time to retire. I don’t know.

Why are you still being transferred to Hangzhou?"

Ning Zijing knows so many inside stories because his father, Ning Qi, followed the principle of learning more and mastering more. In his early years, he took him to worship many masters, including He Xi. And Ning Zijing also because

With this mentor-apprentice relationship, I had a brief internship in the Security Department, so I naturally knew some things about Li Qingyang.

However, as to why Li Qingyang joined Haihan as a member of the Jinyiwei Baihu, those are all old secrets. Very few people knew the inside story, and no one would take the initiative to tell him. Therefore, Ning Zijing actually did not know that Li Qingyang joined Haihan.

The process is not glamorous.

Tao Hongfang suddenly said: "It turns out he is an official from the Ministry of Security. No wonder this name sounds unfamiliar."

The Haihan Security Department is a relatively mysterious department. Its headquarters is also hidden in the mountains of Sanya. The outside world rarely knows about this department. Among the more famous figures in this department, except for the two ministers He Xi and Hao Wanqing,

, there are only a few field combatants such as Gong Shiqi who have been publicly commended by the Executive Committee many times.

A position like Li Qingyang's, who is engaged in intelligence collection and analysis, has always been subject to confidentiality regulations during his tenure. He will rarely be seen in public until he retires. Newspapers will not publicly report on his achievements, and the outside world will naturally not

I noticed someone like him.

Over the years in the Ming Dynasty, there have been countless officials who have served Haihan. Although they heard that Li Qingyang was from Jin Yiwei, Tao Hongfang and others were not surprised at all.

As early as ten or twenty years ago, there were already countless officials from the Ming Dynasty who took the initiative to go to Sanya to handle affairs. From time to time, even prefects and officials of this level would visit their homes. By the time they began to serve as officials, Haihan

At least 30% of the officials in the bureaucracy had served in the Ming Dynasty officialdom, so Li Qingyang's situation was nothing unusual in their eyes. It was just that he might have joined Haihan earlier than others.

The only one who felt this was probably Zhu Zian. In fact, after he met Li Qingyang, he was basically sure that the other person was from the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. The reason was very simple. Given Li Qingyang's age, if he was from Haihan, his status would be

Probably not much worse than Shi Diwen, there is no way he would stay in this kind of yamen. And the sophistication and calmness revealed in Li Qingyang's conversation are definitely traits that can only be cultivated after many years in officialdom.

However, Zhu Zian did not expect that although Li Qingyang came from the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, he actually stayed in the officialdom of Haihan for much longer. Most of his characteristics were developed during his tenure in Haihan.
