"I remember that Ligang was prosperous back then, and the owners of Wufeng also had a wide range of manpower and ships on the main island of Zhoushan, didn't they?"

"This place is the throat of the Yongjiang River, and the sea is strong, once it is lost, do you know what the consequences will be?"

Wang Zhi smiled reluctantly, "Since the city was built on the top of Hou Tao's mountain, what about it...... Why don't you choose another place to trade? ”

"No need." Qian Yuan made a gesture of please and walked to the edge of the cliff, "The so-called place of trade, the most important thing is convenient transportation, this place is close to the Yongjiang River, leading to Hangzhou to the west, connecting the north and south canals, and at the mouth of the sea, it is also convenient to sail to the sea."

Wang Zhi nodded, "That's true, as long as it's not a Dafu boat, it can be docked on the bank of the Yongjiang River...... This requires the construction of docks. ”

"Of course, the dock is a must."

"Enough manpower?"

"More than 10,000 people have been recruited this time." Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Although Weiyuan City is called a city, it is actually small, and the dock doesn't need too many people. ”

Wang Zhi stroked his beard and guessed: "Could it be a new warehouse?" ”

"Haha, in the words of the owner of the Five Peaks." Qian Yuan pointed to the bottom of the mountain, "The treasury must not be built to the east of Hou Tao Mountain, as soon as the sea breeze comes, many will collapse." ”

"Although Hou Tao Mountain is not high, the scope is not small, and there are many valleys that can shelter from the wind and rain, so it is very suitable to build a warehouse here."

"If you need to garrison the guard, you can choose another place for trade and trade, you can set up a commercial market in Zhenhai City, or you can set up a commercial market at the wharf, set up shops, and then transport them directly from the warehouse to the ship, and then you can sail out to sea."

There are still grinding details, but Qian Yuan's general outline made Wang Zhilian nod his head and said yes.

In the end, Qian Yuan said with a smile: "Of course, if you trade to the sea, you need to pay taxes......

"This is nature, Wang is definitely not such a stingy person!"

"Uh...... Also, the storage of goods in the warehouse is also subject to rent......"

Wang Zhi swallowed his saliva, this is really a dead money!

More is yet to come.

Qian Yuan spread his hands, "It costs money to build Weiyuan City, build a warehouse, and level roads...... The owner of the Wufeng ship should know that this matter can be done but cannot be said, and the DPRK and China will not allocate money. ”

“……”

"Whoever wants to eat meat, whoever will be beaten first...... Qian Yuan also felt a little embarrassed, and said with a dry smile: "But the fleet of the owner of Wufeng sails all over the world, and the wealth is comparable to the country......

In Qian Yuan's persuasion, Wang Zhizhen felt a little headache, this guy buckled one ring after another, and threw himself into the well!

Not only Wang Zhi, but also up to Wu Baipeng, the governor of Zhejiang, and Song Jizu to Zhenhai Zhi County, all of them were dumbfounded...... It's too whimsical, isn't it?

For example, Wu Baipeng, Qi Jiguang, Lu Bin, and Zheng Ruozeng all have a relationship with Qian Yuan, and they all know that Qian Yuan adheres to a point of view, forbidding the sea, and turning business into Kou; Open the sea, Kou turned into business.

Therefore, in their conception, appeasing Wang Zhi, so that he allowed trade, was nothing more than a means to quell the rebellion.

In all dynasties, to appease thieves, it is all about spending money and food, and you have to be willing to be an official...... Liangshan heroes on "Water Margin" are like this, cutting off people's heads, so that they can drink wine and eat meat in a big bowl, and finally become an official!

Murder and arson......

If you want to be an official, you will be recruited to kill people and set fires......

All in all, everyone is ready...... It is impossible to be an official, but it is still acceptable to give silver.

Now it's okay, not only does Qian Zhancai not give away the silver, but also wants to grab it in turn...... God is pitiful, people are not stupid!

Qian Yuan continued to put forward conditions, "Ligang also built more warehouses back then, and the house where I lived last night is said to be the warehouse left before?" ”

"That's it, the owner of Wufeng is looking for some old people to come over to help, and there will be a lot of trouble in building the warehouse!"

"I also need the help of veterans to smooth the road...... Well, there is a lake over there, and looking back, how many people it takes to dig a canal to lead directly to the Yongjiang River, and how long it takes. ”

"Digging a canal is not ten miles and eight miles, but at most three miles, and when the time comes, the warehouses built around it store fragile things such as porcelain, and they are willing to be dragged by horse-drawn carriages and broken."

"Lord Qian, Lord Qian!" Wang Zhi couldn't hold back any longer, and pointed to the soles of his feet, "Wang funded the construction of Weiyuan City?" ”

"Why not?"

"Then Wang funded the construction of wharves and warehouses, and also leveled roads and dug a canal?"

"Why not?" Qian Yuan had a sincere expression on his face that he was planning for the other party, "Shicai said, if you want to eat meat, you have to be beaten first......"

In fact, this sentence can be said the other way around, and you will be beaten first...... to be able to eat meat first. ”

Wu Baipeng and Zheng Ruozeng glanced at each other speechlessly, thinking that after the little money allocated by the Governor's Mansion to build Weiyuan City, it would only be enough to build a wharf and a warehouse...... Well, people didn't plan to use that money at all, and they were going to let Wang Zhi pay for it all.

Qian Yuan looked at Wang Zhi with an angry face with a smile, "Actually, it doesn't cost much silver...... By the way, it also costs money to recruit people, so it's best to pay some wages. ”

Wang Zhi laughed angrily, "Wages? ”

"The pirates invaded the coast, burned, killed, and plundered, and they came to rob the silver." Qian Yuan spread his hands, "The owner of Wufeng is sprinkling silver everywhere, how can the people compare it to Xu Hai's subordinates?" ”

Wang Zhi sighed, "Lord Qian, if you have something to say, just say it." ”

Although they only met for the first time yesterday, Wang Zhi already knew that the person in front of him was unfathomable, and his tongue was quite good, and he pulled himself here step by step, and he didn't bother to continue guessing.

Qian Yuan still had a smile on his face, and asked sideways, "Is the Zhao family here?" ”

"It was a quarter of an hour ago." Liang Sheng waved his hand to bring the Zhao family up.

"Have you thought about it?"

The understatement of the inquiry made Zhao Wenjing of the Zhao family in Cixi, who was over forty years old, bend down, and the young man behind him bowed even more.

Zhao Wenjing, the second brother of Zhao Wenhua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and now the head of the Zhao family in Cixi, as early as the beginning of this year, Qian Yuan sent someone over to "blackmail".

has an elder brother who is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he is Yan Song's godson, Zhao Wenjing naturally disdains it, and sends Qian Yuan's messenger away with a word.

Qian Yuan didn't care about it, and it wasn't until after Shangyu's victory that he wrote a letter and sent it to Shangjing, which was directly sent to Zhao Wenhua.

At the earliest Linping Mountain, Qian Yuan went straight in, and Zhao Wenhua made a private covenant with him, but then Qian Yuan entered Beijing to stir up the storm, and now Zhao Wenhua has long been pinched by Qian Yuan in the palm of his hand, and the rest is not easy to say, this thing will never dare to be violated.

On the second day, Zhao Wenhua sent his eldest son, with a private seal, and then brought his confidants and old family members, and immediately went south to return to his hometown, and the young man behind Zhao Wenjing was Zhao Wenhua's eldest son Zhao Fu.

Zhao Wenjing trembled and said, "The Zhao family in Cixi is willing to donate three thousand taels of silver to help repair Weiyuan City and wharves." ”

"Three thousand taels?"

"Five thousand taels!" Zhao Fu immediately changed his words, "Five thousand taels of silver will be sent to Zhenhai County immediately." ”

After saying this, Zhao Fu turned his head sideways and glared at his second uncle Zhao Wenjing, anyway, he was going to bleed, why bother making the family unhappy?

Unlike Zhao Wenjing, Zhao Fu has been in Beijing all the year round and has heard of Qian Yuan's name for a long time...... This guy can even beat Xu Fan, the eldest son of his father-in-law and deputy assistant to the cabinet, do you think that I am the eldest son of Dasikong, and people will not dare to beat me?

"Why are you so stingy?" Qian Yuan shook his head, "But a little adds up to a lot, it's just five thousand taels for five thousand taels." ”

5,000 taels of silver...... Really not a small number, Wu Baipeng on the side frowned, he knew that Zhao Wenhua had a close relationship with Qian Yuan during the war.

"How many sea ships does your Zhao family still have?"

Zhao Fu was silent, and bumped his elbow against Zhao Wenjing, who said with a dry smile: "No...... Didn't ......."

"Big and small, five sea vessels." Qian Yuan didn't bother to talk nonsense with this guy anymore, and said bluntly: "If you go to sea with a full load of goods, you will not have to pay customs duties of about two or three hundred taels of silver at a time, and these five thousand taels of silver can be used to deduct customs duties and rent for warehouse rent." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Zhi, Wu Baipeng and others suddenly realized, and Shen Mingchen said with a smile: "Zhancai, where did you learn this ability to pick cakes on the ground and make something out of nothing?" ”

"As long as the warehouse and wharf are built, it won't take long to pay off." Qian Yuan turned his head to look at Wang Zhi, "What does the Wufeng Ship Master think?" ”

Wang Zhi had a helpless expression, didn't say anything, only arched his hand to say, admire and admire!
