According to the official system, it is natural for the upper officials to arrive and the lower officials to greet them.

The plot of the person who did not arrive could be big or small, but the old bureaucrats present knew that Governor Zou was not good when he heard it.

Yan Changwu's loose official rank is as high as the second-rank hussar general, the third-rank Taiwanese guard commander and the fourth-rank Fujian coastal defense guerrilla, Governor Zou does not call people General Yan, but depreciates from the low, that kid is going to be unlucky!

The official pavilion was quiet, everyone was thinking about it, and those who didn't like Yan Changwu were ready to join the ranks of governors to give him a good look, and the officials who were optimistic about Yan Changwu were ready to report to Yan Dashao.

"Where is Yan Changwu?" Zou Weilian asked more, but there was no answer, he smiled coldly, didn't say much, and after a few words with other officials, he sat in the official sedan chair, sounded the gong and drove to Fuzhou City.

After the official reception of the seal in the Fuya Hall, the directors began to summon the Fujian political envoy (feudal division), the Fuzhou prefect, the coastal defense general army, the Fujian inspection envoy (臬司, in charge of justice), the Fujian metropolitan commander (metropolitan division), and the commanders and staff generals of the various guard posts.

Zou Weilian greeted and asked Lan Bangxian, the chief soldier of coastal defense: "Lord Lan, go to the Ministry of Age to release 200,000 taels of silver, I don't know how much to build a ship?"

Lan Bangxian is a native of Jinjiang, and he didn't dare to slack off, but explained: "Four Chinese military ships, thirty rushing ships, and thirty black ships have all been completed!" ”

He explained the parameters one by one, Zou Weilian silently calculated it, and found that there was water in it, but it was not much, which was acceptable, so he nodded and praised: "Mr. Lan has put a lot of thought into it!" ”

"Don't dare to be it, that's the credit of Governor Xiong, and the lower officials don't dare to be ashamed!" Lan Bangxian nodded and said authentically.

"Governor Xiong has a credit to the country!" Zou Weilian arched his hand.

He asked again: "The ships only have bow and stern guns, and the firepower is not strong enough, and they use muskets and bows and arrows for long-distance combat, and help in close combat, so why don't you use the plywood boats of the red-haired fan?" Powerful and fast! ”

"The firearms on the plywood ship of the red hairy fan are sharp, and they are really powerful, but they are expensive!" Lan Bangxian smiled bitterly: "If we use 200,000 taels of silver, we can buy a third-class battleship with 70 guns at most!" ”

Seeing that the governor has a sign of wanting to "touch" with the Southeast Mansion, if you are fighting ghosts with the Southeast Mansion, don't predict me, so he introduced: "The Southeast Mansion has six third-class battleships, two are still under construction, and there may be six more in the future!" ”

Governor Zou was very unhappy to hear it, he X, who is the imperial court sailor!

However, he was an official in Fujian, and he knew that smuggling was rampant in Fujian, and he gradually understood: "Our dynasty strictly forbids foreign traffic, and pieces of board are not allowed to enter the sea, and the merchants monopolize it, bribe the officers and soldiers who guard the mouth, sneak through the southeast mansion, reach Xiamen, and then sell to other countries." All Chinese goods, overseas are dependent on the southeast province. Therefore, the benefits of the sea, each ship paid 2,000 silver dollars to the Southeast Mansion, but the Southeast Mansion was the only one, and the wealth was profitable. ”

The money of the imperial court was given to the Southeast Mansion, how can this be justified!

……

As soon as Zou Weilian arrived, he dismissed two generals, three Taoist officials and four county officials, so the Fujian officialdom was awe-inspiring.

Everyone should be careful not to be caught by the governor.

Then he issued a fire card (a certificate specially designed to transmit military information) and went to Fuzhou to meet Yan Changwu, a guerrilla in coastal defense!

Yan Changwu couldn't come to the illness with "occasional cold"!

Just kidding, when Lao Xiong was there, Xiao Yan didn't dare to go ashore, Governor Zou clearly had bad intentions, and Xiao Yan didn't dare to come.

Zou Weilian was unhappy in his heart, and he didn't say anything in his mouth.

As a feudal official, he naturally knows the measure, and it is certainly happy to directly use the seal to announce that Xiao Yan is a rebellion, but the opponent's warship is coming, what can he do to resist the opponent's artillery?

Although many of Xiao Yan's affairs were affected, but Fujian Province did not have the ability to control his fleet, and he blocked the sea, and Governor Zou could not eat and walk around. ”

……

Zou Weilian came to Yuegang in person!

He is an official, we are thieves (or thieves), no matter how uncomfortable the leading person in Yuegang is, we have to go to see him collectively.

Moon Harbor is a small land, unable to resist the imperial army.

Zou Weilian still kept the rules, only set up a tent in the field, and did not enter the Moon Harbor.

Although he is powerful, as a member of the Donglin Party, he doesn't know that the entanglement of official and business interests in Yuegang is not something that he can handle with a single governor.

After meeting with everyone and praising Yuegang with false affection, Governor Zou's fox tail was revealed, and he wanted to fight the autumn wind!

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and she can't complete any ambition without money.

The autumn breeze that the governor wants to fight is not a small amount, and you are embarrassed to open the mouth to give it to him.

The people of the dynasty have always been like this: the governor must not be excessive, but his face must also be given, even if your backstage boss is a cabinet scholar and a scholar of the six books or a big TJ in the palace!

Zou Weilian came prepared, and the powerful commercial houses and the shopkeepers of the silver number in Yuegang were all sitting in front, and the names were reached one by one, among which the three major silver numbers of Ruixing, Yueyuan and Gangsheng were even more named by him.

“…… You are busy with the sea, your business is prosperous, your wealth is abundant, and you must contribute more to the country! Zou Weilian said implicitly.

But everyone's hearts are transparent, the governor is beating the three silver trumpets, saying that they are colluding with the pirates, they must bleed heavily, otherwise it is difficult to say the consequences!

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and the three major silver numbers have lent a large number of money to the Southeast Mansion, which has given the Southeast Mansion wings to fly to a certain extent!

The big shopkeepers of the full moon and the two silver numbers of Gangsheng all looked at Chen Yichuan, the big shopkeeper of the Ruixing silver number, and he was the only one who looked forward.

Chen Yichuan said quietly on his face: "Lord Governor, we are all good people, and we run a small business, thanks to the wrong love of the Governor, how can I mean it, I will donate 10,000 silver dollars first!" ”

The smile on Zou Weilian's face condensed, 10,000 silver dollars, and he called Huazi!

Believe it or not, labor and management will take you down now!

The reason is very ready-made, Chen Yichuan's nephew Chen Hebin is a high-ranking official in the southeast province, and he can announce the arrest of Chen Hebin in the name of a thief, and then detain Chen Yichuan in the name of "joint sitting" and "rebellion".

As for breaking his face with Yan Changwu, he can't take care of it.

Chen Yichuan continued: "10,000 silver dollars really can't be taken on the table, we have a lot of money to lend outside, we will go back to the silver number first, see how many positions can be mobilized, and then return to the governor!" ”

Zou Weilian calmed down, not too much, thinking about labor and management depends on how you give me an explanation!

……

The atmosphere in the account room of Ruixing Silver was heavy, and Ruixing Chen Yichuan, the full moon Xu and the Hong Kong Shengwang got together to discuss countermeasures.

"I will never give out this money!" Chen Yichuan said categorically.

It is not easy to make this choice, it is right for the people not to fight with the officials (even if there are big officials behind you), Governor Zou is the first person in the Fujian officialdom, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he covers the sky with one hand.

If you rebel against him, he will take you down, even if there is someone behind you, even if you finally settle Governor Zou, but you have been damaged by him!

It is not even ruled out that you will become an outcast!

It's just that compared to being afraid of Governor Zou, Chen Yichuan is more afraid of Yan Changwu in the Southeast Mansion.

The official of flowing water, the southeast mansion of iron!

This kid is too young, as long as he doesn't have an accident, he will always be the leading boss.

How old is he? More than thirty years is only fifty years old, and a term of office of a local governor is at most three years!

There are hundreds of large ships in the southeast province, and the Fujian Navy Division is only a hundred on small ships.

The fleet of the Southeast Province is brave and good at fighting, and controls the vast sea area, and the Fujian naval division can only play in the rivers and coastal waters.

I can understand all kinds of choices with a buttocks!

……

When Zou Weilian received a report that the three silver trumpets were all closed in the name of "the proprietor is happy, return to his hometown to drink", he couldn't help but turn pale, and said three times in a row: "Good, good, good!" ”
