Chapter 282: Xu Jing Returns
Xie Zhi grimaced and said, "Who told you that I was going to Tianjin, go back quickly, the fifth uncle still has important things to do, and I will play with you when the fifth uncle comes back!" ”
The kid didn't have the slightest compromise, and said: "When I had dinner that day, I knew that the fifth uncle was going to Tianjin, and I didn't want a gift, the fifth uncle went to Tianjin to take me along, I want to see the big treasure ship, but the fifth uncle once promised me?" ”
Promised? Xie Zhi was not quite sure about this matter, he didn't think about fulfilling his promise to the child at all.
Xie Zhiyi, Zhu Houzhao on the side said: "Bengong looks at the kid and has a little courage, Bengong likes it, if he wants to go, let's take him with him, anyway, Xu Jing can arrive today, and we can return on the same day when we pick him up." ”
In fact, there is no danger for them to go, but they can take it with them.
Xie Zhi smiled and replied, "Okay then! ”
After answering, he said: "You kid follow me, don't run around, don't blame me if you run away." ”
Immediately, he said to He Liang behind him, "You are responsible for taking care of Young Master Sun!" ”
When he arrived in Tianjin, Xie Zhi still had something to do, but he really couldn't stare at this kid every step of the way, so this matter could only be handed over to He Liang to do.
After He Liang answered, he turned over and dismounted to carry the boy on the horse.
That kid has a lot of problems, and he has to ride with Xie Zhi.
Xie Zhidu has already agreed to go to Tianjin, how can he still care about riding a horse with a book.
Xie Zhi reported the kid from He Liang's hand, put it in front of him, and then instructed the maid below: "Go home and report a message, just say that Young Master Sun has taken him to Tianjin, and Young Master Sun will protect his safety, so that the family can rest assured." ”
After leaving the city, Xie Zhi began to ride his horse and gallop wildly, and as the wind in his ears blew, the kid only screamed.
This kid is really, don't you know how to be reserved?
didn't stop all the way, and after arriving in Tianjin, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao went straight to the dock.
Since the purging of the Japanese on the sea, the imperial court's policy on the sea ban has gradually begun to relax.
With the relaxation of these policies, more and more merchant ships began to travel between the north and the south by sea.
After all, if you are starting from the sea, you don't need to moor, you can go straight down with the wind.
Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao found an outdoor tea shop and sat in the corner waiting for the arrival of Xu Jingbao's boat.
Xu Jing also mentioned in his letter when the treasure ship would arrive today, and Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao could only wait.
This tea shop is located on the wharf, and it is originally for the coolies who work here, and it is extremely simple.
Fortunately, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao are not the kind of people who ask too much.
Several people sat down and stared at the ships coming and going at the dock idly, and Zhu Houzhao sighed: "In recent days, there are really a lot more merchant ships on the dock than in the past. ”
The reasons that can lead to such a situation are clear to everyone, Xie Zhi didn't explain much, and said with a smile: "The flies have been beaten away, and the prosperity of the prosperous world has also been revealed." ”
Referring to this question, Zhu Houzhao asked: "Yoshino Eiichi is also going back soon, and he should also send his son over when he returns." ”
On top of this issue, they really can't let their guard down.
Xie Zhi replied: "This is our territory, and having such a person can urge us to always pay attention to keeping things that we are not enough to keep secrets, which is not bad, after all, they are not the only ones who covet these things." ”
The two of them didn't wait long before a big black spot appeared in the distance.
He Liang, who had been paying attention to the movement at sea, shouted: "I'm back, I'm back..."
After He Liang shouted, several people looked towards the sea together.
The sailboat was floating, and the masts that could be seen were bigger than those moored at the docks.
This is not a big treasure ship, and what is it?
Although they had seen that there was still some time before they came over, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao were also anxious, and the two of them sat there and continued to drink tea casually.
"Xu Jing, Tang Yin and the others have some ability, you kid will collect talents."
Xie Zhizi can't say it, this is because he came from later generations to know that one of these two people is a famous talent, and the other is the ancestor of geographer Xu Xiake, right?
According to Zhu Hou's words, Xie Zhi could only smile and say: "At the beginning, the minister just didn't want the two of them to be unable to extricate themselves from the whirlpool of the minister's framed Dao Mane, and it was also at that time that the minister was going to Yunzhongwei to take up the post and was in urgent need of manpower, but I really didn't expect that these two people would have such ability." ”
Yunzhong can be organized and truly achieve a rich county and a country, which is all Tang Yin's education.
And Xu Jing's merits are even more outstanding, and it is already obvious without saying much at all.
Seeing that the treasure ship was about to dock, Xie Zhi and Zhu Houzhao got up, and the group approached the dock directly.
The draft of this treasure ship is not shallow, and the cargo on board should not be less.
After waiting for a while, the treasure ship landed firmly on the dock.
As soon as the treasure ship came to a halt, Xu Jing jumped off the board laid down from the ship.
Xu Jing got off the boat and first greeted Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhi.
After seeing the ceremony, without waiting for Zhu Houzhao to speak, Xie Zhi asked, "Can you find the seedlings that you are looking for?" ”
Mentioning this problem, Xie Zhi beckoned and ordered someone to move down a few boxes of things, and then opened these boxes one by one, after the boxes were opened, Xu Jing replied: "After going to sea, I have been paying attention to the things you said in Zhixian, not to mention, I was really found in Xia, Zhixian, these are the things you have, right?" ”
Before Xu Jing went to sea, Xie Zhike was still the magistrate of Yunzhong, and there was nothing wrong with Xu Jing commensurate with the magistrate, Zhang Yong on the side of Zhu Houzhao corrected: "The Marquis of Yunzhong is now the imperial history of the left capital of the Five Armies Procuratorate, and now the magistrate of Yunzhong County is Wang Shouren." ”
Before Xu Jing went to sea, although Xie Zhi was still Yunzhongbo, the Yunzhonghou in Zhang Yong's mouth was still very understandable.
Xu Jing smiled and arched his hand and said, "Then congratulations to Yunzhonghou." ”
As early as when he was in the clouds, Xu Jing, Tang Yin, and Wang Shouren did not treat Xie Zhi as a magistrate.
No matter how much their current identities change, their feelings for each other will never change.
Xie Zhi also smiled and replied, "I should also congratulate Master Xu." ”
Although the lord Bo is just a second official, don't forget that Xu Jing was dismissed from his reputation before.
This change can also be said to be a fortunate thing, maybe there is a new yamen in the imperial court, and he can be filled in, isn't the current Tang Yin the Shangshu of the Propaganda Department?
Xu Jing didn't answer, but just asked, "Are these things you looking for right here?" ”
Xie Zhi just glanced at the things he knew were looking for and there was nothing wrong with them, and replied: "It's all correct, these things are all good things, just put these things in the clouds, for specific matters, let He Liang tell you how to do it." ”
Zhu Houzhao picked up those things and asked, "Isn't this a sweet potato?" ”
This thing has been circulated among the people, and it is not unusual for Zhu Houzhao to know it, Xie Zhi replied: "It's a sweet potato." ”
Zhu Houzhao picked up another thing and asked, "What about this?" ”
Xie Zhi smiled and said, "It is recorded in the book that it is called corn. ”
Zhu Houzhao picked up the last thing and asked, "What about this?" ”
Xie Zhi patiently replied: "Chili pepper has the same effect as dogwood." ”
After solving Zhu Houzhao's problem, Xie Zhicai ordered: "He Liang, you take Young Master Sun to put it on and have a look." ”
Since the boy came to see the great treasure ship, he had to go on the boat to see it.
Some of the goods brought back by Xu Jing had to be sold by themselves, and the other part could be sold directly to those merchants at the nearest wharf.
After all, such a big bite of meat, even with the power of the imperial court, can not bear it, only these businessmen need to be involved, capital can be operated.
Xu Jing handed over this matter to his subordinates, and he went to meet with Emperor Hongzhi with Zhu Houzhao and Xie Zhijinjing.
As early as before, Xu Jing was in charge of commerce and trade in the clouds, and he cultivated a lot of people in these aspects, even if Xu Jing did not personally check it, the people below could do a good job.
And this time to go to sea, you also need to buy and sell goods with Fanbang, so for such a long time, it is not difficult to train some people to come out.
When Xu Jing went to sea, he brought out some of the surrendered pirates, some of whom stayed to establish maritime trade routes for the Ming Dynasty, and the other part were trained to become experts in business.
