Chapter 85 Operation

You help me, I help you, everyone helps each other, learns from each other, and improves themselves in learning, which is the requirement of Wei Gonggong for himself, and also for the officers and soldiers of the Ming Emperor and friendly people.

Help is mutual, Hu Shihai in the position of deputy director of the thaw committee, actively use his own connections to help the sunshine thaw capital operation, absorb a large number of local tyrants and inferior gentry who are interested in the thaw of national assets, the contribution to the thaw committee is very huge, therefore, Wei Gonggong has repeatedly clearly instructed the imperial army, the admiral maritime yamen, and the town guard Zhongguan yamen to give enough care to friendly elements such as Hu Shihai, to effectively protect their rights, but also to effectively solve the difficulties in their lives.

At the practical level, in order to help Deputy Director Hu increase the scale of his family's porcelain sales, through the coordination of Director Zhao Quan, the imperial army targeted the commercial competitors of the old Hu family in Zhenjiang in the sealing of Jinghai and a series of subsequent actions, so that the porcelain industry of the old Hu family in Zhenjiang accounted for 40% of the maritime sales scale of the entire Special Economic Zone, and this number is still growing.

In March this year, the Hu family had a conflict with a certain noble family in the southern capital due to the problem of porcelain sales channels, when the noble family threatened to break the Hu family, fortunately Director Zhao Quan intervened in time, and shocked the noble with the prestige of the imperial army and the Duke of Wei, and no one in the southern capital dared to peep into the Hu family.

After receiving a lot of care from the imperial army, Deputy Director Hu, who was very conscientious, naturally spared no effort to invest in the Sunshine Capital operation project.

For a period of time, Deputy Director Hu can be said to have forgotten to sleep and eat for work, day and night, so that Director Zhao, who saw it in his eyes, had repeatedly proposed to Deputy Director Hu that you should not do it, and if you continue to do it, your body will collapse.

"I'd rather collapse alone, than the hundreds of committee members, let alone the major affairs of Father-in-law Wei!" Deputy Director Hu said.

After more than a year of business development, the thaw committee has established four major sub-districts, including Zhenjiang Prefecture, Changzhou Prefecture, Yangzhou Prefecture, Suzhou Prefecture, Yingtian Prefecture, Lujiang Prefecture, Songjiang Prefecture, Anqing, Taiping Prefecture and other eleven prefectures, six prefectures and 54 counties, tentacles have involved Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Shanghai four provinces and one city.

There are 126 members below the fourth grade, 7 members above the fourth grade, of which there are as many as sixty percent of the meritorious ones, 18 people are talented, 57 people are lifted, 19 people are from Jinshi (including retirees), and the rest of the members are either local tycoons or village sages, and those who have a lot of wealth can be described as prominent.

The committee now weaves a vast and secret business network, and among its members are many current officials, such as Wang Chengyun, the prefect of Anqing, who is the commissioner of the Anqing region; Another example is the former Shanghai Zhixian County, and Mao Yilu, who is now promoted to supervise the imperial history of Guangdong Province, is also a member of Wupin.

So far, the thawing committee has raised as much as 670,000 taels of silver for the Yamen of the Maritime Special Zone, and has been rewarded by two general orders of Wei Gonggong, and has organized members of more than four grades to participate in the Maritime Special Zone and the Ming Emperor's army twice.

The results are obviously very good, but Gonggong Wei is still a little dissatisfied, because so far the highest member of the fourth grade or more is only the second grade, and there is no first-grade and super-grade members, which makes the large amount of money unable to enter the account for a long time.

At this point, Zhao Quan and Hu Shihai explained to Wei Gonggong that the reason for the failure to appear as a high-grade member is that the amount of fundraising is too large, and the super product is even as huge as one million taels.

Gonggong Wei was right when he thought about it, and if he could take out a million taels at a time, I am afraid that he would not be blinded by this treasure. Moreover, the official background that his father-in-law Wei can provide now is also the official yamen of Jiangnan Town, which obviously can't control the scene.

The rice still has to be eaten slowly, and now the four major areas are still a little smaller, and they will continue to expand. The Ming Dynasty is so big and there are so many rich people, as long as the stall continues to be paved, I am afraid that there will be no money in the future.

After the father-in-law praised Zhao Quan and Hu Shihai, he got the confirmed news that the two would transport the latest fundraising of more than 200,000 taels in ten months, and happily accompanied them to a meal in the maritime yamen.

In addition to the father-in-law himself, there was also Cao Hua, the central official of Jiangnan Town, who guarded the yamen.

Cao Hua was stuffed by Gonggong Wei in Jingli, nominally to assist, but actually to monitor. However, Cao Hua is also an honest man, he was originally a copyist eunuch in the clerical room, and it was the first time he was released to the outside world, so he was cautious about his business, lest something go wrong, so the errands assigned to him by Wei Gong Bus were completed well one by one. At present, it is mainly responsible for the general affairs of the central official yamen and the construction of some key buildings such as Jiangnan Yinzhuang and trading office.

Theoretically, when Gonggong Wei, the lieutenant guard of Jiangnan, was not there, Cao Hua, the sub-guard, was the person in charge of the Zhongguan Yamen, and he could even be responsible for supervising the maritime yamen and transferring the Ming Emperor's army on behalf of Gonggong Wei. But in fact, Cao Hua certainly does not have these powers, and he is honest and quite self-aware, and during the time that Gonggong Wei was not in the SAR, he knew where he should ask and where he should not ask.

On the second day after my father-in-law returned, he inspected several construction sites such as Jiangnan Yinzhuang, and most of the construction has been completed, and now he is doing some post-laying works. Several major highways in the Special Economic Zone have also been basically completed, such as the eight horse-drawn carriages that can run side by side, and the construction of the maritime avenue, which is more than 20 miles long, has been completed. Although it can not be compared with the road of later generations, the completion of the first "eight-car two-way road" in the Ming Dynasty still has the significance of the era, and its completion has greatly increased the transportation volume of the special zone and the port, and has led to the development of commercial settlements on both sides of the road, effectively realizing the concept of "if you want to get rich, build the road first" put forward by Wei Gonggong.

Cao Hua is a great person, and his father-in-law has asked for credit from the princes of the inner court for him. However, Cao Hua is the same person, the father-in-law is not very clear so far, and the details of the rest of the guns and patrols are not very clear, but as long as these people do not cause trouble for him, the father-in-law is still very willing to cooperate with them amicably.

The father-in-law knew very well that even if the emperor trusted him again, it was impossible not to place people around him. Cao Hua and a few others said that it was the master of ceremonies who came to share the credit, but it was better to say that it was the emperor. This is still on the surface, and there must be a batch of them secretly.

In addition to Cao Hua, there was another person who also sat at the banquet, and this person was Zhao Baole, the father-in-law's first godson.

Baole was arrested in the SAR prison for a period of time because of corruption, and later the public-spirited thought that Baole had a credit to him after all, so he was released again, and gave An under the maritime yamen to help coordinate the affairs of the chamber of commerce and the yamen, which can be regarded as a chance for him to atone for his crimes.

Originally, Zhao Baole was not qualified to come to accompany him, but he inadvertently opened a window for his father-in-law, so his father-in-law paid attention to him again.

What Baole opened for godfather was a financial window.

To be precise, it is the IOU that participates in the operation of capital.
