Wu Zheng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Say it quickly, how to change it?" ”

Mo Yiqing smiled and said: "The husband's method works, but the husband is too impatient and the attack is too widespread, so that domestic businessmen and foreign businessmen will collude to oppose the husband's decree." The concubine thought that as long as the domestic businessmen were separated from the foreign businessmen and pulled into the husband's camp, the foreign businessmen could not support them alone, so they could only submit to the husband's decree. ”

Wu Zheng asked, "How do you separate them?" ”

"Recruiting officials and businessmen, franchising." Mo Yiqing lightly opened his mouth and spit out eight words.

Wu Zheng's heart moved, and he rushed out, "Official supervision and business office? ”

Mo Yiqing was also stunned at this time, "Husband has already thought it through?" The official supervision and business office is in line with the idea of concubines. ”

Recruitment of government and business, franchising.

Selling franchises, this is the fastest way to get money.

Its essence is the same as Wu Zheng's government management, but it is more modest.

In other words, cut out a piece of the cake of benefits and let domestic businessmen share it, so that the purpose of separating domestic and foreign businessmen can be achieved, so as to reduce resistance.

Think about it, if domestic merchants and the government jointly hoard silk, tea, and porcelain, then the people engaged in these trades would not have to hoard with the products and have no income.

And foreign businessmen can't drag it out for half a year and a year, so they can only compromise.

At this time, Mo Zhinian also understood, and he said: "What Qing'er said, maybe it will work." I don't know what happens under the Lord's will? ”

Wu Zheng nodded with satisfaction and said, "That's it!" Qing'er is really smart, which is admirable! ”

Mo Yiqing covered his mouth and chuckled: "It's just that how to distribute the benefits still has to be decided by the husband." ”

Wu Zheng restrained his smile and thought for a while: "Each type of goods is openly recruited by three merchants to specialize, and the government does not participate in specific affairs, only approves the goods. ”

Mo Zhinian's eyes lit up, and he said: "Franchising? ”

Wu Zheng glanced at Mo Zhi strangely, nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, it is a franchise, the government is open to soliciting investment, and the businessman bids to buy the official franchise, for a period of three years, and the one with the highest price wins." In this way, I am afraid that domestic businessmen will have nothing to say, and whoever wants to eat this cake should raise the price. ”

Mo Zhi sighed and said, "The lord is a god and a man. ”

Wu Zheng's method started from the government monopoly, then improved by Mo Yiqing, went to the official supervision and commercial office, and finally changed by Wu Zheng to only sell franchises.

The difference between this is that for franchises, the government only collects money and issues certificates, and does not need to be involved in specific affairs, so it avoids the disadvantages of adding government yamen and setting up more officials, but the money to be drawn is not much at all.

No wonder Mo obsession praised it so much, in this era, few people can think of or even do this.

Even if you think about it, you don't have this power to implement it, after all, if this power is in a peaceful and prosperous era, it should be in the hands of the emperor or the cabinet, but now, Wu Zheng has decided with a word.

……。

Things went far better than expected.

The public auction of the government put an end to the controversy of domestic businessmen.

Anyway, the one with the highest price wins.

After three days of hard work, nine officials and businessmen were determined.

More than 2.6 million taels of silver were raised for Wu Zheng, and all Wu Zheng had to pay was nine pieces of paper covered with the official seal.

It can be described as an official seal, ten thousand taels of gold.

Foreign businessmen dare not speak out, and the price of goods has risen by 30% overnight, which is equivalent to reducing their profits by more than 30%.

But they are businessmen after all, and as long as they are profitable and not cornered, they will not do anything drastic.

For example, extreme practices such as refusing to trade with each other.

Fortunately, the tax revenue of Hangzhou Prefecture, one tax through the land of nine prefectures, slightly made up for them.

This matter just slowly calmed down.

Hangzhou once again entered a period of stable prosperity.

Wu Zheng's 30,000 recruits were quickly recruited and began to enter the whole training.

……。

Outside the city of Fuzhou, there are already large armies.

Outside the north gate, there is an army led by Duoduo, the prince of Yu of the Qing court.

Fuzhou City has experienced several offensive and defensive battles, and I have to say that the young Zheng Chenggong and Zhang Mingzhen have a set of leaders.

The siege of the city on three sides, the attack of 100,000 enemy troops, Shengsheng was blocked by the soldiers and civilians in the city led by the two.

This made the morale of the Qing army, which had been moving south, a blow to morale.

Dordor therefore ordered a siege and repairs.

"This king has a strange feeling, and he always feels that Fuzhou City is a little weird." Duoduo said sullenly.

On the side, Bolo nodded and said, "What the prince said is exactly what I want to say." ”

Hearing this, Dodor looked up and asked, "You feel this way too?" ”

"Yes. It stands to reason that Li Chengdong is not a fool, he will not see the current situation clearly, he chose to betray and return to the Ming Dynasty, which is incomprehensible. ”

Duoduo shook his head and said, "There is nothing strange about the fickle barbarians, and this king is not concerned about this. ”

Bolo asked, "What is the prince worried about?" ”

Duoduo seemed to answer, and seemed to say to himself, "This king has personally interrogated the remnants of the soldiers from Fuzhou, and for the specific details of the battle of Fuzhou Wharf, this king always feels a sense of déjà vu. ”

When Bolo heard this, he blinked, and said blankly: "The battle of the dock, I also understood, the Ming army gathered hundreds of artillery salvos, Li Chengdong was unprepared, and the Ming army's way, this matter is not surprising." ”

Dodor shook his head and said, "No. This king thinks it's wrong, it's true that the Zhoushan Water Division belongs to the Longwu Dynasty, but Huang Binqing, the chief soldier of the Zhoushan Water Division, has no intention of reinforcing Fujian, don't you think it's too abrupt for the Zhoushan Water Division to suddenly appear in Fuzhou Port at this time? ”

Bolo thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe Longwu should inherit something from Huang Binqing, such as high-ranking officials and Houjue." Huang Binqing changed his mind and went south, but it is not known. ”

Duoduo nodded and said, "That's right, but one thing, is there so much artillery in Huang Binqing's water division?" ”

This is the key, it is not new that the Ming Dynasty sailors are equipped with gunboats, but where did the sailors at this time get hundreds of artillery?

Before the fall of the entire Ming Dynasty, there were more than 1,000 large and small artillery.

According to common sense estimates, the Zhoushan Water Division has no more than a few dozen artillery pieces.

However, in the port of Fuzhou, hundreds of artillery pieces appeared, which was equivalent to the regular equipment of the two naval divisions.

But the problem is that south of the Yangtze River, there are only two water divisions, the Zhoushan Water Division and the Dinghai Water Division.

The naval division has gone north with Wang Zhiren, and now it is confronting the Qing army on the south bank of the Yangtze River, so where did the artillery used by the Zhoushan Water Division in Fuzhou Port come from?

Bo Luo shook his head vigorously and said, "Maybe Huang Binqing bought it privately from the Hongmao Yi people, right?" ”

Duoduo glanced at Bolo in disgust, and said in a deep voice: "Dozens of cannons, how many silver taels do you need?" With Huang Binqing's temperament that you and I know, it's too late to fill your own pockets, how can you buy artillery from the red-haired man out of your own pocket? ”
