Chen Mingwen proudly walked on the bustling Second Avenue in District A.

At present, Xinzhou Port, only Area A has been opened, and a District A has a total of two avenues, one vertical and one horizontal, with a total of only 100 stores. That's a lot of money.

And as the contact person of the Zheng family in Batavia, as the Zheng family's own person, he was fortunate to get two facades from Zheng Siye's hands, although this almost put his family into it, but now look at it, what is not worth it?

Don't talk about how much money he has made in these days, just talk about the price of this store, if he wants to sell it now, it will be double the profit.

Chen Mingwen is very complacent now.

So every day he would go to the business house to sit down, even if the business below was taken care of by the manager. And the latter is a new term, which came out of the Zheng family, and it is roughly the same as the original shopkeeper.

But Chen Mingwen is not in a hurry, he is the boss, when he enters the business house to see when he can just see when he can arrive. You don't have to pack up on time and open it to work.

The wide and straight road is lined with green trees on both sides, and the unified Chinese-style buildings, with the eaves and arches, and the Chinese font signboards, always make him feel like he is dreaming of returning to his hometown.

This is how he imagines his hometown, although he has lived to be in his forties, and he has not really 'returned' home once.

All his imagination of his hometown comes from the words and deeds of his parents and elders, from books, and from the ancient paintings of landscapes. Compared with the architecture of the Dutch, he thinks it is still pleasing to the eye.

"Master, the Huang family is here again, saying that they want to take down a store in your hand. The price will never make you lose money. ”

Before Chen Mingwen walked into his own trading house, he saw a pair of managers running to look for him, stretching out his hand to greet people, but he was fed a mouthful of.

"Let's go back to First Avenue."

The Huang family is his own foreign family, and it stands to reason that he broke the bones and connected the tendons, but when Chen Mingwen thought of the Huang family's choice, he felt like eating a mouthful of Xiangwei steamed buns.

The Huang family still chose the Dutch, they felt that the Chinese in Batavia were going to run away, and even the Chinese in Old Port, Semarang, and Surabaya were going to run away, but at this time they were on the side of the Dutch, wouldn't it be more reusable?

Chen Mingwen, as a junior, what can he do? However, Chen Mingwen can't control the choice of the Huang family, but he can stay away from the Huang family.

'Can't be provoked' with you, I've always hid, haven't I?

"Master, it's not a matter for you to always avoid it, if the surnamed Huang pulls down his face to find the old lady to speak......" The deputy manager said carefully, but it made Chen Mingwen's face change.

The old lady is still alive, and Chen Mingwen can't break off his relationship with the Huang family, right? Even if she made this matter clear to the old lady, she could make her own wife very sad.

But the Huang family even went to Zheng He's negotiation to get involved, no matter how they looked at it, they didn't look like they were going to get off the ship...... and the pride in Chen Mingwen's heart was all gone.

And when he received a report from the comptoir, the British had arrived in New South Wales with several boatloads of saltpeter and cotton, as well as some ivory and precious stones, and a large quantity of silver. Chen Mingwen immediately like a big savior, hurriedly called someone to call a car, and rushed to the Xinzhou Yamen in a carriage.

This is not to find Shi Daxuan, Chen Mingwen is to find the Department of Industry and Commerce, saltpeter is a military supply, he is a purchasing agent. But the purchasing agent is also for the Zheng family, and it is also meritorious. He is ready to use this credit to make a report in front of the Zheng family now.

Or to inform the Zheng family of the news.

The Huang family, that's the Dutch.

……

In Dinghai County, with the arrival of Xu Tingju and Old Man Xu of the Xu family, all the gentry in Dinghai County, which is not large, have arrived.

Shen Nanguang greeted him personally, because this Xu Tingju was not only a senior in the field, but also his grandson Xu Ran, who was in the same subject as Shen Nanguang - he was originally a high school Nanzhili person.

Shen Nanguang is not from a Jinshi background, and he is congenitally lacking in confidence, although he knows very well how he got his official position, then the Zheng family is his greatest confidence. But because of his character, Shen Nanguang still behaved respectfully and politely.

"Today, we invite the elites in the county to gather in one room, which is to preach something." Shen Nanguang's posture was very low, but the next words made everyone present tremble.

It's very simple, that is, he, Master Shen, wants to reorganize the household and re-clear the acres. Now I call everyone over, that is, I want you to cooperate and take the initiative to declare the land to the government.

"Brother Guangming, why bother to do this? These gentry and old men, there are still too few hidden fields, how can they honestly declare? ”

Jiang Zhe shook his fan, looked at the back of a cadre and said disdainfully.

"How can the little brother not know? But I'm from Jiangnan, so I have to have scruples. ”

In the entire Dinghai County, the total number of acres of land on the government's fish scale register is only 120,000 mu, and most of them are in the middle field and the lower field.

It's too ugly.

If you want to say that there is 200,000 mu, this is about the same, and now 120,000 mu is not enough, which is really too much.

But even so, Shen Nanguang still felt a kind of ruthlessness, and the decision from above was too neat. If you want to make these virtuous people in the county spit out the fertile land, it is not the only trick.

As far as he knew, the salt pans being built on Nadaishan Island would be a first-class cornucopia in the future. Only one salt introduction can make the entire Dinghai County obedient.

It really doesn't have to be broken with a thunderbolt!

How can Jiang Zhe answer this?

"If it weren't for such inferior gentry who only cared about the small family and ignored everyone, why did the court have a short period of money and food? So that the world is corrupted? "Jiang Zhe's words can't be said too clearly, but they also point out Zheng Zhilong's intentions to some extent." The handsome man hated this kind of rat for a long time. It's just a pity that in the past, it was impossible to punish by means. And now that there is an opportunity, how can you let it go? If you are afraid, ask the commander to resign early, otherwise, if you are in this position, you must have the courage to bear the world's infamy. ”

Shen Nanguang raised his eyebrows, "Brother Yulong, don't underestimate me." What is the infamy in the world? I, Shen Guangming, have done this righteously, why be afraid? The reason why I hesitated was just worried about the handsome. Although this approach relieves hatred, it will cause the gentry of the world to tremble, and it will also be harmful to the marshal......"

Shen Nanguang's face was full of worry.

"The rabbit dies, the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it. You don't care about the world's infamy, do you care? "What's more, now, Zheng Zhilong has not been shouted and beaten by everyone.

Jiang Zhe thought of Zheng Zhilong's 'grand cause', and his eyes couldn't stop shining, now this is Fang Dong's fight, a small test, and it will really wash the world in the future.

And three days later, it was still the county government. Jiang Zhe looked at the document in Shen Nanguang's hand, and his stomach hurt from laughing.

Isn't that exactly the same as before?

"Brother Guangming, you better pick up the whip quickly. If you don't whip these gentry and old men severely, they can't learn well. ”

This is the same thing, Jiang Zhe thought of Quanzhou today.

He had gone south with Zheng Zhilong earlier, and then soon came north with a fleet, and then he had to take advantage of the fact that Jiaozhou Bay had not been frozen, and lead the fleet over. Just stayed in Dinghai and watched such a good show. If you want to come to Quanzhou at this time, it is similar to the Dinghai in front of you.

"Forget about whipping those gentry masters, the little brother should clean up the rats in this county government first."

As he spoke, he strode out, and in just one morning after the aftermath, the entire Dinghai was boiling.

Master Shen did not dispatch regular soldiers, but only cooperated with his wardens (Public Security Bureau, Zheng Family) to cooperate with the inspection (Armed Police, Zheng Family), and directly arrested all the households in the county, and then soon spread to the idle Bai Ding below, and also involved other houses.

This is very sensational news.

Many gentry in Dinghai County are in a hurry, if that person can't hold the door and spit out something, wouldn't it be bad?

And what are you afraid of, Hu Cao of Dinghai County is of course not a good man who beats iron and copper, and he is dragged in to serve in a big punishment, and he has only beaten a few boards, so he has explained everything.

Shen Nanguang took the confession and asked the warden to arrest people.

When Dinghai County was handed over, it was handled very cleanly. Not to mention the wardens and inspections, including the county officials, the master book and the teachings, all of them were dealt with.

Xu Tingju and his youngest son are the chief bookkeepers of Dinghai County, and they had a good life, but they were driven home to eat rice.

Although the main book is considered an official, it is really a sesame official than a sesame official. Like the warden, it is generally said that they are the official positions paid by the large local families with clear names (meritorious names), and they have been working at the county level all their lives, not necessarily their own county. The competent person in the county can still be qualified to know the county, let alone the teaching, Hai Rui started from the teaching, and he is a second-class official. But the county clerk and the warden are different.

For the Xu family, the future of the family does not need the son who is the master bookkeeper to bear it, but the family's Qian Cheng needs him to help him.

Now it's okay, as soon as the Zheng family came, they kicked people aside. Xu Tingju was disgusted with the Zheng family from the bottom of his heart, not to mention that Shen Nanguang still had to count Ding Qingtian, this was not to move the Xu family's cheese, but to kick the Xu family off the table.

In the county, as soon as the gentry with heads and faces discussed, no one relented. In Xu Tingju's opinion, the Zheng family didn't dare to make a big move, otherwise, how could the gentry in Jiangnan watch quietly?

In this regard, everyone is losing and prospering.

But where would Xu Tingju and the others have thought that Shen Nanguang didn't make a big move at all, but directly lifted the table.

When he and his three sons were sent to prison, Xu Tingju couldn't believe it. "How dare he? How dare he? ”

This is a big hole, Shen Nanguang stabbed it open, so he is not afraid that he will end up infamous all over the world? Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to the Zheng family behind you? Xu Tingju's gray beard was curled.
