Wang Wenyan quickly became Feng Ziying's right-hand man in Ningbo, and also won Feng Ziying's recognition to a certain extent.

This is a very gratifying start for both parties, thanks to a series of actions by Wang Wenyan starting in Hangzhou.

The two got along in Hangzhou for a few days, and the relationship became closer and closer, but Wang Wenyan did not mention Miaoyu to Feng Ziying, but directly arranged for someone to quickly go north to Beijing to find Miaoyu.

This is something that Lin Ruhai explained, and it is not appropriate to inform Feng Ziying for the time being, as for Feng Ziying, it is more appropriate to hand over these things to Feng Ziying after Feng Ziying is really married to the Lin family.

Along the way, Feng Ziying has become more and more familiar with the situation of the entire Great Zhou, and he has also become more and more familiar with the operation mode of the yamen at the level of Fuzhou and County.

To him, this mode of operation of the local government system of the Great Zhou Dynasty is more like a task to complete the decomposition, such as the field endowment, education and imperial examinations, the trial of cases and civil lawsuits, local public security, post roads and water conservancy infrastructure, these items can be basically sorted down according to their importance, but in practice, the emphasis may be slightly different in a specific period of time.

The gentry had a strong local dominance with which even the government had to compromise, and the merchants were trying to infiltrate and grow their influence.

This delicate balancing and rebalancing is actually achieved in a subtle trade-off pattern.

Of course, the reason why this balance and rebalancing can be achieved is largely because many gentry are actually businessmen behind them, and the mixing of the two roles is becoming more and more obvious.

And the big gentry who lived purely from the fields, or the merchants who did not have a single acre of land, were rare, especially the latter.

Even if it is not to make money or buy property, buy dozens of acres of land, build a mansion, this is a symbol of status, or this is a kind of ladder for businessmen to move towards the gentry.

Whether it is Nanzhili or Zhejiang, this situation is very common.

It can be said that this round of trip to Jiangnan may not have touched Cui Jingrong so much, but for Feng Ziying, it is not only a thorough investigation of industrial livelihood, but also a survey of the social conditions and public opinion of the entire Jiangnan Prefecture and the governance ability of the government.

For example, Dongchang Mansion, Jinling Mansion and Suzhou Mansion are obviously more advantageous in all aspects, while Yangzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion and Hangzhou Mansion are inferior, while Huai'an Mansion and Ningbo Mansion are relatively poor.

Of course, these places also have their own characteristics, such as Yangzhou's developed commerce and trade is indeed unique, unmatched; Songjiang Fu's cotton textile industry ranks first in the world, and has formed a huge and stable industrial chain and sales system; Hangzhou's landscapes nourish people, the scenery is beautiful, soft and charming; Suzhou is a strong humanistic atmosphere, the style of study prevails, the public security situation is good, Suzhou magistrate Lu Wei is known as the first god of Nanzhili, the Jiangyang thief who fell under his hand does not know how many, and he himself is also the first master among the lay disciples of Southern Shaolin.

Ningbo's shipbuilding industry has also given a great touch to the ploughing of Ziying.

Although subject to the influence of the sea ban, Ningbo still retains a fairly solid foundation for the shipbuilding industry, whether it is a folk craftsman technician, or an ordinary worker, as well as supporting wood, glue, lacquer, cable, canvas, iron nails from processing to sales of merchants, are readily available, Ningbo is not lacking, compared with Longjiang, Qingjiang shipyard situation does not know how much better, which also makes Feng Ziying overjoyed.

"Ziying, that Mr. Wang Wenyan, I think I have to come to you almost every day during this time, well, does your family also make a living here in Zhejiang?" Fan Jingwen couldn't help it anymore and asked.

Cui Jingrong, Wu Liangsi, Wei Guangwei and others actually noticed it, but no one cared.

Who hasn't had some livelihood these days?

is a poor egg before the exam, as long as you can quickly find a powerful in-law on the side of the exam, if you have already been married, it doesn't matter, naturally someone will pull the line for you.

If you are a jinshi, not to mention, your entire family will complete the evolution of a gentry family in a short period of time, and the land and land and livelihood will expand rapidly.

Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng both felt this way, so they were not surprised, they were just curious, and like Cui Jingrong, they didn't even save their curiosity.

"It's my first time in Zhejiang, where is there any livelihood? However, the younger brother is very optimistic about Ningbo, I don't know if Mengzhang and Kexuan have noticed, compared to Qingjiang and Longjiang shipyards, although the private shipyards here seem to be far inferior to Qingjiang and Longjiang in terms of scale, but the vitality and vitality it reveals are not at all comparable to Qingjiang Longjiang, just look at the situation in the dock, you can know. ”

Feng Ziying shook her head, "The Ministry of Industry has raised a large group of beetles, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate has also raised a group of blind people. ”

"It's the Nanjing Ministry of Industry and the Nanjing Metropolitan Inspection Institute." He Fengsheng frowned, "I see that Lord Wei and Lord Sun are both pale, it is obvious that compared to the situation in Jinling, Huai'an and Ningbo, the Ministry of Industry spends so much silver every year, but it is a mess that is not even as good as, look at Ningbo here, some private businessmen can make such a big battle, and this is still under the ban on the sea." ”

"Hmph, this also shows from another angle, these shipyards are smuggling and building sea boats, not at all the fishing boats, you look at those piles of big wood, are they usable by fishing boats?" Fan Jingwen also snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and looked cold.

Feng Ziying realized that Fan Jingwen's concept seemed to be a little out of rhythm, and he was too entangled in the gap between the north and the south, compared to He Fengsheng, who was much more generous, maybe this had something to do with He Fengsheng being from Huguang?

"Mengzhang, I'm afraid that the sea conditions in the north are still a little different from those in the south, but the shipbuilding industry in Denglai and Liaodong has been abandoned for a long time, and it is difficult to operate in a short time, I am afraid that it will depend on these private businessmen and craftsmen in the future, and I estimate that even Uncle Xian himself has been disappointed in the Ministry of Industry, no, it should be desperate, this gap is too big."

Feng Ziying skillfully mentioned this topic, which immediately made Fan Jingwen's spirit and attitude change, and asked urgently: "Ziying, how can you make these mercenary businessmen willing to go to Denglai Liaodong to set up a shipyard?" I think what you said is a bit unrealistic, the court can't agree, and the policy of the court you mentioned is also vague, these merchants are not fools, and they will not take their money to waste. ”

He Fengsheng also noticed this, and pursed his lips and smiled on the side, Ziying, this kid has really played with Mengzhang in applause during this time, a casual sentence can make Mengzhang worry, it can keep him awake at night, and then pull back a random point of view, and it can make Mengzhang rejoice, and make Mengzhang cheer.

Manipulating people's hearts is nothing more than this, no wonder the officials and teachers say that his sixteen-year-old body is pretending to be a sixty-year-old old official's city government mental technique, so that he can learn from Ziying.

Look at the origin of Wang Wenyan who originally asked him and the purpose of following him to Zhejiang, he quietly changed the topic, which is extremely mellow, and can also make you automatically forget to ignore, this skill, He Fengsheng is ashamed.

"Brother Mengzhang, don't worry, there are always more ways than problems." Feng Ziying skillfully used a classic language that she often used in various speeches in her previous life, "I'm not afraid that I can't do it, I'm afraid that I can't think of it, some policies, the imperial court actually doesn't need to give up any interests, or it is a worthless name for the imperial court, but in the hands of these private businessmen, it can generate infinite motivation and benefits, it depends on how we operate." ”

Feng Ziying's sleek and vague words can always arouse Fan Jingwen's interest and excitement, "Ziying, this is what you said, I know you have a lot of ideas, and you ...... when you go back."

"After I go back, I will now elaborate on the "Internal Reference", in addition to the Mengzhang, you and Ke Xuan also have to prepare, what you see, hear, feel, "Internal Reference", you all have to come up with a few decent articles, not only around the center of Kaihai, but not limited to Kaihai, all walks of life involved, even including the governance ability of local officials, must be based on their own views, sharper, sharper,......"

"Ziying, what do you mean......" Fan Jingwen and He Fengsheng were both a little surprised, feeling that the other party's tone had changed a little.

"Well, the situation in Ningbo can basically represent the situation in Fujian and Zhejiang, the situation in Quanzhou and Zhangzhou is not much different, if we want to go to Fujian, it is estimated that we will only go to one place, and it is a dragonfly to the water, so from now on, we will start to prepare for things after we go back."

Feng Ziying didn't want to go to Fujian very much, because from the news passed to him by Wang Wenyan, the situation in Fujian was complicated, and it was difficult to guarantee safety, especially in Zhangzhou.

Although Wang Wenyan said that he had sent signals and invitations through channels like a few families over there, no one could guarantee whether these people would take risks if they did not stand under the dangerous wall, after all, each family was related to the livelihood of hundreds of people.

Wang Wenyan's opinion is to wait for news in Ningbo, there are already people there who have given a more positive response, of course, more are still waiting and waiting, in addition, the situation in Quanzhou is similar, but the control of the Quanzhou government is greater, and Long Banwei has a station in Quanzhou, which has been prepared in Quanzhou in advance.

The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and these people who are roaming the sea are not necessarily outlaws, but they must be more daring to take risks than ordinary merchants, and this kind of adventure is also manifested in all aspects, including taking risks.

Feng Ziying didn't want to risk his life to go to Bo's gimmick of doing everything, and now he has the confidence and qualifications to let them come to Ningbo.
