Cixi is the name of the place, but also the name of a river, connected to the Yao River, the river water rolls to the southeast, turns a corner in Yinxian County, and flows into the Yongjiang River in the northeast direction.

Wang Yin stood on the bow of the boat and looked left and right, the sails around him were like clouds, and from a distance, the large and small ships on the river were everywhere like ants.

"The trade route is smooth, and businessmen naturally gather in Ningbo." Zheng Ruozeng said with a smile: "It is reported that not only Liangzhejiang, Susong, Changzhou, Jiangbei, Jiangxi, and Huguang have businessmen rushing here, and now it is close to winter, and it is still prosperous." ”

"I knew this was the case, Lord Governor......" Wang Yin sighed.

Zheng Ruozeng shook his head, "Zhancai and the Governor agreed that the latter would be appeased, and the former would preside over trade...... Zhancai was bent on presiding over trade and deliberately excluded the Governor. ”

"Why?"

Zheng Ruozeng smiled bitterly: "It's nothing more than the fear of liquidation in the future and involving the trade matter." ”

Wang Yin sighed again, in fact, as long as the eyes are not blind and the brain is not broken, they all know that although the Yan Party is powerful, Yan Fenyi is already seventy and eight, maybe one day he will have to ascend to heaven if he falls.

The boat sailed into Yinxian County and docked at the passenger boat dock, Wang Yin and Zheng Ruozeng did not get off the boat, a young man about twenty years old got on the boat, and saluted respectfully: "Meet the two uncles." ”

"Juzhang is a close friend of ours, so there is no need to be polite." Wang Yin smiled and picked up the young man, "This time, I want to ask Xiaoyou to be a guide." ”

"It's a matter of duty."

This young man is Shen Yiyi, Shen Mingchen's nephew, who is now a student of Yinxian County, and is gearing up to prepare for next year's township exam.

The boat quickly turned and sailed into the Yongjiang River, heading straight for Zhenhai, Wang Yin pointed to another river not far away to the southeast, "Where does that lead?" ”

"To Dongqian Lake." Shen always smiled and said: "But that's a dead end, you can't go to sea." ”

"Then why are so many ships heading to Dongqian Lake?" Zheng Ruozeng looked at the boats on the river in surprise.

"Although the Ningbo government set up a city in Hou Taoshan in Zhenhai for trade, the inventory is very strict, and many large households buy tea, silk and other goods, but Jingchuan Gong is not allowed to go to sea to sell goods." Shen Yi smiled: "So now I have learned to be shrewd, first confirm whether I can go to sea, and after getting the documents to go to sea, I will go to buy the goods, and too many ships are not allowed to dock near Zhenhai County, so I simply stopped at Dongqian Lake." ”

"It's kind of interesting." Zheng Ruozeng nodded and said: "Half a year ago, Zhancai made something out of nothing, and the flat ground picked the cake......"

Shen on the side couldn't help laughing, "This matter has spread all over the southeast, and it is said that Longquan is a good method." ”

"Back then, he was a young hero." Wang Yin said with a smile: "Familiar with military aircraft, good at the overall situation, good at selecting troops, defeated several times, and good at financial planning...... It is rumored in Beijing that Dasi Nong threatened to put it in the Tang and Song dynasties, and Zhancai should be used as a plan in the future. ”

Going down the river, it was a tailwind, the boat soon arrived in Zhenhai, Zheng Ruozeng and Wang Yin looked carefully, and were surprised, under the guidance of Shen Zheng, they stepped down from the dock, walked along the lively commercial market, and the nearby shops gathered, and the merchants who came and went had any accent.

There are many inns and restaurants on both sides of the street, and all kinds of snacks are dazzling, and you can hear a long tune, "Qian pig's trotters, Qian pig's trotters......"

Shen always ran to buy four or five in a hurry, and when he came back, he divided one by one, and said while gnawing: "There are many pig's trotters that sell money, but this one is the most authentic." ”

Zheng Ruozeng looked at such a lively scene speechlessly, then looked at the pig's trotters stuffed into his hand, lowered his head and smelled it, and said with a wry smile: "If it is like a rumor, it is like flying to a city." ”

Wang Yin stood on tiptoe and looked at the city wall in the distance, "It's good that you just entered Zhenhai County?" ”

"No, no, no, now it's in Zhenhai County." Shen has always explained: "Because the county is east of Hou Tao Mountain, south of Yongjiang River, can only be extended to the north and west, the old city wall has not been demolished, it is said that the construction of the new city wall will start after the year." ”

"If the merchant ship docks directly at Hou Taoshan, it is very convenient to enter the city, but the passenger ship can only stop at this wharf, and it takes about two quarters of an hour to walk, but it will be convenient after the year, and the county government has issued an official document, and it will be in the ...... after the year Well, build a new road over there. ”

Although they had something important to visit Qian Yuan, they were not in a hurry, Zheng Ruozeng and Wang Yin slowly paced the streets, they heard countless cries mixed with local dialects, they saw countless novel goods, and even witnessed a transaction with their own eyes.

A stout man who looked like a pig slaughterer was actually a maritime merchant who bought 500 catties of tea from a Jiangxi merchant.

A passer-by on the side said, "Lao Jiang won't go back for the New Year, and he has to go to Nanyang." ”

"But this trip, at least this number!"

Zheng Ruo once glanced at the passer-by and made a gesture, and silently calculated in his heart that there were at least five or six hundred taels of silver in taxes on this trip to the palace.

The group slowly entered the city, and Wang Yin said in a low voice: "Brother Bolu, how is it?" ”

Zheng Ruo thought for a long time before he spoke: "Vibrant." ”

Indeed, what he saw and heard made Zheng Ruozeng dizzy, but what impressed him the most was that there was a vitality here that was not found elsewhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Zheng Ruozeng thought silently in his heart, is this what the little friend who has known him for many years wants?

This trip to Zhenhai was actually privately entrusted by Hu Zongxian, many staff members of the Governor's Palace, Wang Yin was the most trusted by Hu Zongxian, and Zheng Ruozeng had the deepest friendship with Qian Yuan.

But now, Zheng Ruozeng was not a little sure, because he now saw clearly that Zhenhai had what it is now, not to mention the financial and manpower consumed, the person who was actually in charge obviously had a comprehensive plan a long time ago.

In the backyard of Qian Mansion, Qian Yuan was frowning and thinking in the study, and the tea cup in his hand was cold early.

Since the thirty-second year of Jiajing, Qian Yuan's study has always been a forbidden place for the Qian family, and no one is allowed to enter except himself, not to mention Zhang San, who is most trusted by Qian Yuan, Yang Wen, who is most valued by Qian Yuan, even Xu Wei, Xiaomei, and even his uncle Qian Zheng are not allowed to enter.

Of course, Xiao Qi can enter now, but she rarely enters...... Because the bathroom hygiene was done by Qian Yuan himself, it was later lost to Xiao Qi.

Taking a sip of herbal tea, Qian Yuan shook his head slightly, Xu Wei thought too simply, the position of governor of Zhejiang is not easy to sit in, let alone get it.

Xu Weimi's letter said that the DPRK and China wanted to set up a new governor of Fujian, and Wu Weixi was likely to be transferred...... Qian Yuan has the same view.

In terms of merit and ability, Wu Baipeng has such qualifications, and he dare not say that it is the only choice, but it is the most suitable choice.

In fact, Qian Yuan didn't know that the first governor of Fujian in the original time and space was the governor of Zhejiang at that time, and that person was Ruan He.

Ruan He's outgoing governor of Zhejiang was concurrently served by Hu Zongxian, the governor of Zhejiang, but in the original time and space, Zhejiang and Su Songwei were in turmoil, and now they are mostly divided, and eighty percent of the governor of Zhejiang is another person, and Hu Zongxian will not be concurrently held by Hu Zongxian.

In the letter, Xu Wei proposed that Tang Jingchuan or Tan Zili could be appointed governor of Zhejiang, the former was extremely famous, and the latter had military merits, and they were both famous ministers and good generals who flocked to the southeast.

Qian Yuan sighed, today's Ningbo, today's Zhenhai, is inseparable from Tang Shunzhi, once Tang Shunzhi is transferred, he can't find a second candidate in the entrainment, and it is difficult for him to believe in other people's discipline.

And Tan Lun ...... Qian Yuan remembered that Tan Lun once served as the governor of Fujian, and joined forces with Qi Jiguang again, and the two became more and more close, and many years later, the Qi family army was transferred north to Jimen, and Tan Lun served as the governor of Jiliao for the third time to cooperate with Qi Jiguang.

But in this life, Wang Zhi no longer made trouble, although there were many wars in Taizhou, and Tan Lun also made great military achievements, but he did not shine like the original time and space, and was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang...... It's a bit reluctant.

The most important thing is that Qian Yuan never thought of making the southeast his own independent kingdom.

In today's southeast, Wu Baipeng, the governor of Zhejiang, is his man, and Yin of Taizhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo are all more inclined to Qian Yuan.

Among the southeastern armies, Liu Xian is difficult to take on important tasks, Tang Kekuan is old, Yu Dayou, Qi Jiguang and Qian Yuan have a deep friendship, Qi Jimei, Lu Bin, Yang Wen, and Hou Jigao are the only ones who obey Qian Yuan's orders.

It has the support of many civilian and military generals, plus the trade and commerce have financial power...... This is easy to covet, even if it is just some gossip, it is difficult for Qian Yuan to bear, after all, Emperor Jiajing's suspicion is too serious and serious, and Qian Yuan does not want to take this risk.

At that time, Wu Baipeng's ascension to the governor of Zhejiang could only be said to be a coincidence, but it was Qian Yuan's brother-in-law Tan Lun who took over...... Don't say whether you can do it or not, as long as Qian Yuan has such a tendency, I'm afraid that there will be no more indifferent Jian Zaidi in the future.

Dropping this letter, Qian Yuan smiled bitterly, if there is no accident, no matter who serves as the governor of Fujian, I am afraid that Qi Jiguang will go south to Fujian to fight against the Japanese like the original time and space.

Turning his head to look at the map hanging on the wall, Qian Yuan casually picked up the Miao knife and gestured, if Qi Jiguang went south and Tan Lun was in Taizhou, could Lu Bin's department be transferred north to be stationed in Ningbo......

At this time, there was a deliberately aggravated footsteps outside, and Peng Feng's voice sounded, "Young Master, the Governor's Mansion has sent someone to meet you." ”

Qian Yuan frowned and went out, took the name card and looked at it, "Send it back." ”

Wang Yin represents Hu Zongxian, Zheng Ruozeng had a very good relationship with him, and Qian Yuan asked Peng Feng to send back the name post, which is not a refusal, but respect.

pondered in my heart, since Hu Zongxian appeased Wang Zhi in June, there has been no contact between the Governor's Mansion and Zhenhai, what did Wang Yin and Zheng Ruo do?

Qian Yuan turned his head to look at the letter on the desk and nodded slightly, although he didn't know their intentions, it must be related to the new Fujian governor.
