On December 12, Qian Yuan led the people to Ninghai County, the capital of Taizhou, and Song Yiwang, the prefect of Taizhou, led civil and military officials to greet him.

This is a dark and thin old man, with faintly gray sideburns, but in fact, he is only in his forties this year, Jiajing is a twenty-sixth year jinshi, and Nie Bao's personal disciple has offended Qiu Luan and Yan Song and was degraded.

The reason why Qian Yuan chose Song Yiwang was not only the recommendation of his uncle Qian Zheng, but also the fact that Song Yiwang did not invest in Xu Jie's disciple although he was a person in the heart, but also because of Song Yiwang's ability.

Qian Zheng wrote a letter recommending Song Yiwang, and Qian Yuan once wrote to Mr. Zhou, Nie Bao's staff member at the time, praising Song Yiwang for his ability to do anything.

At that time, Song Yiwang inspected the salt affairs with the imperial history, asked to dig through the Sangqian River, and together with Xuanfu and Datong directly into the area of Lugou Bridge, Nie Bao, the secretary of the military department, greatly appreciated it, but Yan Song was wary of Nie Bao at that time and pressed the matter down.

"Brother Wang." Qian Yuan saluted and said with a smile: "This time I want to borrow my brother." ”

Although he is a disciple of Nie Bao, Song Yiwang is not as dignified as Nie Bao, and said with a smile: "Qian Longquan chose Ninghai, and the Taizhou Mansion was happy. ”

Qian Yuan waved his hand and said: "Brother Wang's words are serious, even if Zhenhai, if there is no Jingchuan Gong to preside, uncle and filial brother and other help, how can it be so grand?" ”

"Jingchuan Gongshi is a model in the world, Song is not talented, and he is willing to follow suit." Song Yiwang looked at the boundless sea, "Although the sea is governed by the Taizhou government, the government has temporarily moved to Ninghai. ”

Qian Yuan was a little surprised, but then smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Wang." ”

The Taizhou Mansion moved to Ninghai, and many things could make Song Yiwang take the lead, but Qian Yuan was inevitably suspicious, you must know that Song Yiwang did not come to Zhenhai after entering Zhejiang.

But then Song Yiwang smiled gently: "Brother Zili has already explained, and Brother Gangsheng also came with a letter, when the bag came empty, his sleeves went away. ”

Qian Yuan laughed and said, "In this way, it's time to call Uncle Shi." ”

Tan Lun and Qian Zheng both have a relationship with Song Yiwang, but Qian Yuan is a generation shorter.

"Wherefore there is, each has its own opinion." Song Yiwang couldn't help laughing, the person in front of him became famous too early, and he was only twenty-four years old.

Tan Lun and Qian Zheng are very concerned about the establishment of a city in Ninghai for trade, and one of the very important points is that the officials in charge of trade must be honest, which is directly related to whether there will be an official in the future who will be impeached in this way, and then whether the official ban on opening the sea can be implemented smoothly.

Although corruption by officials in the Ming Dynasty was commonplace, there was no way, and it was impossible to live without corruption...... However, the interests of setting up a city for trade are too great, and how many officials are staring at it.

On the premise that they cannot afford to be in trouble, whether they are corrupt or honest will be the factors that can most affect the opening of the sea and the ban on trade.

Qian Yuan nodded secretly, Song Yiwang has a very good relationship with his uncle Qian Zheng, and he is a fellow villager with his uncle Tan Lun, and he is also a personal disciple of Nie Bao, so he shouldn't cheat me.

Moreover, Song Yiwang's career has not been smooth in recent years, and it should be very clear that presiding over the establishment of the city and trade is risky, but it is also accompanied by opportunities.

This kind of official, who has a channel for promotion and is likely to be promoted, can maintain a certain degree of honesty and integrity.

Song Yiwang turned sideways and looked at the respectful and solemn officials behind him, "No need to introduce, it's all old knowledge of Longquan." ”

"Brother Wang's brother can just call Zhancai." Qian Yuan took two steps forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with Song Yiwang, Ningbo Tongzhi, Linhai Zhixian, Ninghai Zhixian, as well as Ningshaotai General Lu Bin, guerrilla general Zhang Yuanxun, and Taizhou commander Ge Hao were among them.

"The review is presided over by General Lu Shen, and the monthly accounts are sent to Zhenhai for review by Zhancai." Song Yiwang said softly: "There are two copies of the accounts of the government and the county government, and they will be sent to Zhenhai every three months. ”

Qian Yuan nodded lightly, this is a matter of course, there is no formal management of tax and silver institutions and chief officials, and he is the duty of the Zhejiang Patrol.

If Tang Shunzhi was invited out and Song Jizu was promoted because of ability, then Sun Piyang, Zhao Dahe, Sun Ling, Yang Wen, Hou Jigao, Lu Bin, and Song Yiwang, in addition to the necessary ability, the most important thing is the relationship between them and Qian Yuan.

Without them, how could Qian Yuan control all this...... He didn't expect to be in control of it for long, but in the beginning, he was the only one in the empire who knew how to care for the bud.

The review of the number of merchant ships and goods going to sea was handed over to Lu Bin, which showed Song Yiwang's recognition of Qian Yuan's status, because Qian Yuan could roughly calculate the amount of tax silver based on these data.

The group rested in Ninghai County for a while, and then went out of the city to the sea, and the rich merchants who won the share either sent silver taels, or bought all kinds of utensils, and even recruited people and craftsmen, which began one after another under the arrangement of the stewards sent by Tang Shunzhi and Wang Zhi.

Huang Maoguan, who has been here for three days, said with a smile: "Zhancai, big money, craftsmen and people not only give food, but even pay silver!" ”

Only when you take money do it...... This kind of thinking is taken for granted in later generations, but in this era, well, at least the government doesn't see it that way.

To put it mildly, Qian Yuan is breaking the rules.

Qian Yuan raised his head at Wang Zhiyang, who rushed over in person from afar, "No way, the owner of the Wufeng ship is kind, and the same is true last year, this year can only be Xiao Gui Cao followed." ”

Huang Maoguan shook his head, "In July, the tax and silver arrived in Beijing, and the whole city said that Ningbo is the first government in the world, and this kind of financial resources is really jaw-dropping." ”

Qian Yuan glanced at Song Yiwang, "I'm afraid that Taizhou will be able to catch up." ”

In this era, there is no pretentious groundbreaking ceremony, all the work starts quietly, Song Yiwang, Premier Zhao Dahe, and the people transferred from Zhenhai are also obedient, and Qian Yuan has no intention of interfering.

At this time, you can see the importance of Zhenhai, from address planning, building warehouses, repairing docks, leveling roads, to the management of people, logistics, food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything has precedents to follow, and most of them can be copied.

Seeing Wang Zhi coming over, Qian Yuan said casually: "Mr. Fang didn't come?" ”

"Sir has always lived in seclusion." Wang Zhi sighed: "A few days ago, I suffered from a cold again. ”

Qian Yuan nodded and changed the topic, Dad was cold, Song Yiwang was a disciple of Nie Bao, but he was not promoted to the Jinshi until the twenty-sixth year of Jiajing, when Nie Bao was the prefect of Suzhou, Song Yiwang, who was less than twenty years old, had been by his side, and had seen Qian Rui more than once or twice.

Although he may not be able to recognize it, Qian Rui feels that it is better not to show up...... Speaking of which, Qian Rui has been in Zhenhai for more than a year, and most of the time in Zhaobao Village, there is no way, he used to take the line of Songjiang, Ningbo Zhenhai, and Zhoushan all year round, and he has many acquaintances.

"The ships carrying grain and rice have already gone south." Xu Bixi said on the side: "This time it's three thousand stones again. ”

"So fast?" Qian Yuan was a little surprised.

"It just so happened that a few ships that went to North Korea returned to transport polished rice, and they went directly to the south, so they didn't need to load the ship, so they were naturally fast." Wang Zhi waved his hand, "Three thousand stones are counted on Wang's head." ”

"Wufeng Shipowner Gao Yi." Qian Yuan casually flattered, knowing that Wang Zhi was saying this to Huang Maoguan on the side.

Huang Maoguan was very concerned about the price of overseas rice, and pulled Wang Zhi and Xu Bixi to inquire carefully, Qian Yuan estimated in his heart that he had already sent a letter to Jiangxi, I don't know if Liang Sheng could rush back a year ago, the war in Jiangxi is non-stop, Zhou Ze is difficult to get out, and Yang Wen can't wait to marry his daughter-in-law.

Although he did not interfere in specific affairs, Qian Yuan had been in Ninghai for six days before preparing to leave, and he had been preparing for more than a month before, and the preparations had started since Sun Piyang was still there, and Qian Yuan had also trained enough account rooms, and all affairs were carried out in an orderly manner.

Six days later, everyone said goodbye to Qian Yuan, and at the banquet, Qian Yuan paced to the center of the hall with a cup, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone's faces.

"There is no need to say more about the importance of trade."

"This official also knows that when the water is clear, there is no fish, and you are all old acquaintances of this official, or one or two years, or three or four years, and you have a very good relationship."

"Everyone, please drink this wine today."

"If it is another day, someone will do a big thing for his own selfishness, and the head will fall to the ground."

Song Yiwang knew that this was not for himself, but he was surprised to see that his deputies Taizhou Tongzhi, Linhai, Tiantai, and Ninghai magistrates, and then Lu Bin, Zhang Yuanxun, Ge Hao, and even the clerks of the government office, got up and drank it all, and bent down to worship each other.
