The Science slowly sailed into Wuhu along the Qingyi River. Zhao Hao stood on the bow of the boat, only to see the wide river surface of the boats coming and going, thousands of sails racing, shops on both sides of the river, business travel one after another, a prosperous scene of the Yangtze River giant port!

What's even more amazing is that there are no walls in such a wealthy place. The whole Wuhu is like a modern city, growing luxuriantly without limits. Hundreds of shops stretch all the way to the Yangtze River, forming a jaw-dropping ten-mile street.

The impact of this ten-mile long street is too strong, even Jinling City, there is no such a long bustling commercial street. Only the world's first commercial street outside Suzhou Changmen can be stronger than it.

Compared with Shanghai, which is still a small county town, Wuhu is simply prosperous and does not have to worry about him. Zhao Hao even doubted that as long as he gave this place another one or two hundred years of peace, without interfering himself, it would be able to naturally complete its evolution.

Yes, yes, it's better than you think. Zhao Hao couldn't be more satisfied.

At this time, the Science slowly sailed to the dock in Huizhou.

As the name suggests, this is a place for Hui merchants to stop. There is no way, the entire rice market, steel mill, and pulp and dyeing bureau in Wuhu are all controlled by Huizhou people, and Huizhou businessmen naturally have some privileges here.

Strictly speaking, this son is also a Hui businessman.

Thinking about it like this, Zhao Hao felt that the docking was at ease.

~~

Seeing that the Science was about to berth, several government sentinel ships hurriedly kept the other civilian ships out of the way, so as not to ram the beautiful white sailing ship. and the beautiful unspoken boy on the ship.

With the blessing of various halos, people see him with his own beautifying effect.

On the wharf, the Wuhu County officials wearing red and black rim livery had already dispersed a group of people and others, and put the entire wharf on guard.

The magistrate of Wuhu County is handsome, and a group of local gentry giants are waiting for him. The welcoming scene was ten times more exaggerated than that of Changxing and Liyang before.

It was really a red carpet and a towering building. Dragon and lion dances, gongs and drums are noisy. I don't know which old man returned to his hometown, and what governor came.

In fact, it's just a little extraordinary little boy...... Well, it's not small anymore.

Rao was sent all the way by the counties, and Zhao Gongzi was still shocked by this exaggerated scene.

What kind of trouble is this, can you be so willful if you have money?

As he watched, the Science came to a halt, and the sailors dropped the cable.

Eight people from the shore brought in, with luxurious planks with handrails on both sides.

In a warm welcome, Zhao Gongzi walked off the boat with some uncomfortably holding on to the railing.

Shuai Zhixian and the two old men greeted him, and after the two sides greeted each other politely, Zhao Hao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Shuai parents, eldest father, Uncle Wang, which one are you doing?" ”

He actually knew all three.

Shuai Ji is a jinshi in the second year of Longqing, and after a few months of watching politics in the household department, he released fat to Wuhu Zhixian County, needless to say, he also knows whose credit.

In fact, through the relationship between the officials, Zhao Gongzi arranged more than a dozen Zhao Erye's same year in one go, and all of them were released to the counties in the south of the Yangtze River!

Zhao Hao admitted that he was a little anxious.

But there is no way, he can help Li Chunfang block the high beard for a while, but he can't stop the high beard for a lifetime. When the living bandit returned to the capital, he became the first assistant and the heavenly official. Zhao Gongzi didn't talk about arranging people, he was able to protect his father from being sent to Lingao Dangzhi County, thank God.

~~

As for the 'Changgong', it is the famous pulp and dyeing giant Ruan Bi.

This duke is very legendary, and his fellow villager Wang Zhi of She County, known as the double of Hui businessmen.

Back then, like thousands of Hui merchants, both of them stepped on old cloth shoes, carried oil-paper umbrellas, and carried rag bags on their shoulders, leaving their hometown with the hope of the whole family.

However, although he is also self-made, Ruan Bi has never made a living illegally. He first apprenticed and worked as a shopkeeper in a shop in a fellow villager in Huizhou, saving some capital in one area, while thinking about what business he should do in the future and where to do it?

After some careful consideration, he came to Wuhu, which was full of business opportunities, and started a small business of dyeing paper.

Because he pays attention to credibility and quality, he quickly expands his business. And it has been respected by its peers, and has gradually become the leader of Wuhu dyeing paper industry.

After taking charge of the industry, he quickly led the entire dyeing paper industry to become bigger and stronger, and the products sold well all over the country, and even the colored paper used in the six parts of Nanjing was supplied by him.

In the process, he became acquainted with a fellow villager surnamed Zhao, who later became the right attendant of the Nanhu Division.

Nanjing has a backstage, Ruan Bi can finally boldly enter, with a 100-fold market of pulp dyeing industry, once again a great success.

Later, he initiated the establishment of the Wuhu Dyeing Bureau, organized the dyeing owners who were originally fighting separately, and put an end to the vicious competition in the same industry, which forced the Dongting Merchants Gang to allow them to buy silk dyed cloth and sell it themselves.

Until then, they could only make a fortune from dyeing, and they could not get their hands on the lucrative sales market.

The benefits of natural business have increased dramatically, and all dyeers have made far more profits than before.

He also took advantage of the commercial network of Huizhou merchants all over the country to set up a number of pulp and dyeing sub-bureaus in major cities. Let Wuhu Pulp and Dyeing Bureau become the leader of the national pulp and dyeing industry, and sell the products overseas.

Ruan Bi naturally gained prestige and became the president of the entire Wuhu Chamber of Commerce.

He has been kind and charitable for many years, widely benefiting the township, and is deeply loved by the people of Huizhou and Wuhu, so he is respected as 'Changgong'.

~~

As for the other Uncle Wang, Wang Yu, he has a closer relationship with the Zhao family than Ruan Bi.

Because he himself is a Xiuning man. This young man came, the Zhao family of the East Gate and the Wang family of the West Gate have always been the representatives of Xiuning's wealth and nobility.

But the years of the Wang family's great wealth are much longer than the years of the Zhao family's nobles. During the Zhengde period, his family was one of the eight chief salt merchants in Yangzhou, and now he still holds the license of daily gold in his hands.

However, it was Wang Yu's cousin Wang Shangju who worked as a salt merchant and raised thin horses in Yangzhou. Wang Yu's million-dollar fortune in this house was not obtained by selling salt. It was earned by his father Wang Shangquan who came to Wuhu 50 years ago and invested in a steel mill.

Speaking of Wang Shangquan, he is also a figure as famous as Ruan Bi in Wuhu. He took advantage of the financial advantage and spent a lot of money to dig up many master craftsmen from Suzhou, strictly manage and innovate technology, and soon made the Wang family's steel mill stand out. Then he successively merged more than a dozen steel mills, and finally took control of the entire Wuhu steel industry.

Then he used the network of Huizhou businessmen to market Wuhu Sugang throughout the country. And taking advantage of the opportunity of the imperial court to resist the Japanese and need a large amount of wrought iron and fine iron to make guns and cannons, Wuhu's steel output was increased to the first place in the country, which was higher than that of Guangdong Province, which ranked second.

Since then, when people mention Sugang, they will think of Wuhu, Wang Shangquan, and Suzhou.

Because of this, he became the president of the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce, and he was in the limelight for a while.

After Wang Shangquan's death, Wang Yu inherited the family business, and for more than ten years, he did not lose his father's name. Today, he serves as the vice president of the Wuhu Chamber of Commerce.

In addition, his cousin Wang Shangju has been a friend of Zhao Liben for many years, and the old man can be a servant of the Yangzhou Salt Industry Guild as a servant, which is inseparable from the support of Wang Shangju and his cheap brother-in-law Ye Xixian.

After Zhao Shouzheng won the championship, he and Ruan Bi both went to Kunshan to congratulate him in person, and Zhao Hao was naturally able to match the number.
