Chapter 383: The Choke of Liaodong
Zhou Zheng pondered for a moment, glanced at him, and said, "We don't accept copper coins, only gold and silver." Bills, changed to one cent, three cents, five cents, one tael, five taels, ten taels. More than 1,000 taels of large bills, exchanged. ”
Shangguan Xun was stunned, a little unclear, and just about to ask, Zhou Zheng said again: "If you want some activities in the early stage to attract small retail investors and large customers, you can lobby...... In short, it is necessary to find a way to expand the ticket number and enhance the strength. ”
Shangguan Xun listened to Zhou Zheng's words, and he was puzzled, and grabbed an important word: "Dongjia, then how can we make money?"
Zhou Zheng was stunned, and then came to his senses.
It's not that Shangguan Xun doesn't know how to make money with silver in his hand, but the Zhou Chamber of Commerce has a lot of money, including salt, tea, silk, porcelain, and even exported overseas, all of which are very profitable, and there is no shortage of silver.
If you can't make a lot of money, this ticket number seems to be a little redundant, if you want to make a lot of money, what to do
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "I'll know in the future, it's not a bad thing to have silver in your hands, you should know how to make money, and develop slowly." Now the pilot, when it is stable, and then develop in other major cities, according to my idea, it is necessary to achieve the whole Ming Dynasty. ”
Zhou Zheng's words were deliberately hugged and said, his ambition is more than this, and the role of this ticket number is far more than that.
But you can't say too much with Shangguan Xun, it will backfire.
Shangguan Xun listened, thought for a while, and said: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Shopkeeper Cheng and others, write a good note, and ask the owner to take a look, and I can start it in March next year at the latest." ”
Zhou Zheng tapped his fist twice on the table, and said: "I'm going to Liaodong next year, I don't know when I'll come back, I'll hand it over to you from the Zhou Chamber of Commerce, be cautious in everything." ”
Zhou Zheng went to Liaodong, Zhou Qingli Zhishi, Zhou's Chamber of Commerce is becoming more and more unable to keep a low profile, if someone covets it, Zhou Zheng is out of reach, I am afraid that there will be chaos.
Shangguan Xun understood what Zhou Zheng meant, so he waited, waited for a while, and hesitated: "Dongjia, will you take Qing'er with you?"
Zhou Zheng looked at Shangguan Xun, thought for a while, and said, "Bring it." ”
Although Shangguan Xun was a little reluctant to let his daughter go to the land of tigers and wolves in Liaodong, he also knew that he couldn't persuade his daughter, and he couldn't refuse Zhou Zheng's request, so he had to nod helplessly.
After Zhou Zheng finished talking about these things, he separated from Shangguan Xun.
He made an appointment with some friends of the court and the opposition to sit together.
Tian Zhenshu has already achieved the position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and it won't be long before he can go to the sixth department to serve as a waiter. Zheng Shouli is in the Ministry of Rites.
These two people have that fellow villager as a backer, but it was smooth sailing, and they were not overturned by the repeated waves of the imperial court.
Zhou Zheng drank with the two of them once, then went home, sat in the study, and looked at the relevant information about Liaodong collected from everywhere.
The situation in Liaodong is really not optimistic, Sun Chengzong returned to Liaodong, rectified Liaodong, and constantly restored the inherent territory of the Ming Dynasty, all the way to the north of the Daling River.
If the Ming army can gain a foothold in the Daling River and establish enough fortifications, then it can be attacked and retreated, which is another Ningjin defense line, which is of great significance to the Ming Dynasty!
Zhou Zheng looked at these materials and nodded secretly.
Sun Chengzong arranged 100,000 soldiers and civilians on the front line of Ningjin, and rebuilt the two cities of Ningyuan and Jinzhou.
"If it can really be three or five years, Liaodong will be able to have enough counterattack power, and it will not be so passive and defensive......"
Zhou Zheng was watching and muttering to himself happily.
Although he knew that with the current situation in the Ming Dynasty, it was impossible for Sun Chengzong to have enough time to rectify, but with the foundation laid by Sun Chengzong, it would be impossible for Jianyu to break through the Ningjin defense line and threaten Shanhaiguan, the last line of defense of the Ming Dynasty.
The Ningjin defense line is a moat, and Shanhaiguan is the gateway, both of which are indispensable!
Zhou Zheng took the map of Liaodong and looked at it seriously, looking from Tianjin Wei to Shandong Denglai, then to Shanhaiguan, then to Ningjin, Xiaolinghe, and then North Korea, Phi Dao.
These places are all strategic points, among which Korea is on the flank of Jianguo, which can be said to be the most important, if the Ming Dynasty manages it properly, it is enough to pose a major threat to Jianguo, curb the development of Jianguo, go south, etc.
It's just a pity!
If it is placed in the Jiajing Dynasty, these are easy to achieve, but the current court, courtiers, even if they have a good strategic plan, will eventually be wasted, but it will help Jianyu.
Zhou Zheng stared at North Korea and shook his head secretly.
Even if he goes, there is no way to gain a foothold for a long time.
This is not only a matter of the imperial court, but once the North Korean side has a certain threat to Jianyu, then Jianyu will inevitably go all out to conquer, and Zhou Zheng will not be given enough time to sit on it at all.
Zhou Zheng's eyes fell on Songshan again, this location is close to the sea, the northwest direction is Jinzhou, the northeast direction is the big and small Ling River, Guangning Youtun. Therefore, the location of Matsuyama is very important.
Zhou Zheng came from all over the place, and the imperial court intended to send him to station in this place, and at the same time support Sun Chengzong's plan to regain the lost territory, and create another important line of defense that could be attacked and defended.
Zhou Zheng looked at the map and was silent for a long time.
From Shanhaiguan to the Daxiao Ling River, it is a narrow corridor, except for Jinzhou, Ningyuan is a big city, the others are just 'forts', can not be held, want to build a city on the other side of the Daling River, Jianyu regarded as a place to control the city, it is not so easy.
I don't know how long it took, Chu Jin quietly walked in.
Zhou Zheng glanced up at him and said casually: "Old Wei is back"
Chu Jin said: "Lord Wei is afraid that he will not be able to come back for a while, and his subordinates heard that Shuntian Mansion is extorting merchants in the capital. ”
Zhou Zheng suddenly snorted coldly and said, "If you eat the benefits in their stomachs, where you will easily spit it out, you will definitely have to grab it from elsewhere." ”
Chu Jin didn't speak, he also knew very well what virtues these people in the court had.
Zhou Zheng slowly packed up the materials on the table and said, "When I go to Liaodong next year, I can move everywhere." Keep an eye on Jianyu's movements, and I always feel that something is going to happen. ”
In Zhou Zheng's memory, Liaodong was not lost until Hong Chengchou's hands, and it was always as stable as a mountain in the middle. But things have changed too much, and Zhou Zheng must be cautious!
Chu Jin raised his hand and said solemnly: "Yes!" ”
Zhou Zheng thought about it, but he was still not at ease, and said: "The intelligence side should be cautiously moved, and the Ordnance Bureau should also speed up, not only armor and weapons, but also firearms, I will prepare money and food, since I am going to Liaodong, I will do something well in Liaodong." ”
He was ready to build Songshan Fort, and if he was given time, he wanted to make Songshan another Jinzhou. There are two fortified cities in front and Ningyuan in the back, supporting each other, and if you want to go south to Ningyuan, it will be impossible to build a captive in the future!
Chu Jin listened and said in a deep voice: "Yes! ”
