In the afternoon, all the brightly coloured decorations of the palace were removed, and the concubines were dressed in less ornate clothes. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Yunxi ordered the Wenhua Hall to change into funeral decorations, and wore mourning clothes in the Wenhua Hall within nine days, and then changed into plain clothes to accompany Lao Zhu after leaving the Wenhua Palace. Xiyao and the others also changed into mourning clothes.

Of course, Yunxi didn't leave the palace in the past few days, but in addition to practicing martial arts and handling political affairs every day, he came to accompany Lao Zhu, he was very worried that Lao Zhu would be too stimulated and couldn't afford to get sick from now on. But although Lao Zhu has not been very energetic these days, he has not been sick. However, this made Yun Xi even more worried, Yun Xi didn't dare to leave the palace for a moment, for fear that something would happen and he wouldn't have time to rush back.

============================================================

Shanghu County Ya, at this time Zhang Yanfang was talking to the two thousand households in Nanhuijiao Shouyu and Hou Qianhu.

Shanghu County was under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture at this time. Yun Xi was very curious after discovering that Songjiang Mansion only had two counties at this time, Shanghu County and Huating County, so why should there be a separate mansion? In particular, Changzhou Mansion in the west has only four counties at this time, and there are only six counties in one piece, and there are seven counties in Suzhou Mansion in the west!

After Yun Xi reported to Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu said: "The mansion of the world is divided according to the size of the population. Although Changzhou and Songjiang are small, they are both densely populated. And the land of Suzhou, because it is Zhang Shicheng's last territory, has a large population loss, and its population is not as good as the sum of Chang and Song, so it is like this. ”

There is only one complete Wei in Songjiang Prefecture - Jinshanwei, which is stationed in the southernmost part of the municipality of Shanghu in later generations, and the current Shanghu County is half of Shanghu City in later times, and the other half is Huating County. Yun Xi considered whether to merge the two counties, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, a treaty port is just a treaty port, and it is not enough to use such a big place, before the state carried out large-scale development of Shanghai, Shanghai is only very developed in Puxi, and other places are like that, and they are not needed now.

Zhang Yanfang said to the two thousand households: "Two thousand households, I was appointed by His Royal Highness to come to Shanghu County to preside over the opening of Shanghu County's sea and trade affairs, and I need the assistance of the two of them. ”

"One is to choose a place where merchants can trade, and the other is to send sailors to clear the pirates in this area. What do the two thousand households mean? ”

The two Qianhu glanced at each other, and they were all full of joy. Although they had heard about the matter of choosing Shanghai to open the sea in Shanghai, they were junior officials, and their old superiors were killed in the Hu Weiyong case. The news is quite ill-informed, and I don't know how much is true and what is false.

Now that the new county order just appointed by the Ministry of Officials in the capital has said so, it seems that the news is true. They are all hereditary thousands of households, and their children and grandchildren will be in Shanghu County in the future, of course, I hope that Shanghu County can be better, so I am happy.

Han Guang, who was in the middle of the river, calmed down and said: "Zhangzhi County, if it is said to be a place of trade, it is naturally the best on the west bank of the Huangpu River. As for the clearance of pirates, what are our small two thousand soldiers enough? Jinshanwei in the south, Zhenhaiwei in the north, and the guards further out, to say the least, need five or six guards, and more than ten guards can be useful, otherwise we will only drive them to other places when we go to sea, and it will not be of much use. ”

Zhang Yanfang said: "I understand that the number of pirates is not very useful, so I will immediately send a message to the nearby guard office, and I think that the text of the capital of the five armies in the capital should also arrive." But why was this place of trade chosen in the Huangpu River? Isn't it possible to be on the banks of the Yangtze River? It won't ......"

Zhang Yanfang looked at these two people with suspicion, suspecting that they had land there, waiting to be zoned as a trade place to sell land to make money, such a thing can be found in the "History of the Song Dynasty". Although he didn't say it explicitly, his gaze was basically not a fool's to understand.

Wei Huo, a thousand households in the back office, said: "Zhang Zhixian, you are wrong to blame us. The banks of the Yangtze River are stormy and turbulent, and only big ships can stop steadily, so it is really not a suitable place for trade. If Zhang Zhixian doesn't believe it, he can go to the bank of the Yangtze River to have a look. ”

"The Huangpu River is not only small in wind and waves, but also extremely deep in the Yangtze River, which is suitable for trade."

Zhang Yanfang asked again: "Then why not choose the Huangpu River estuary?" ”

Wei Huo continued: "Zhang Zhi County, the mouth of the Huangpu River is the boundary of Changzhou Prefecture, since Your Majesty has made Shanghu County a place for trade, then it is better to find a place in Shanghu County." ”

Han Guang continued: "And the area around the mouth of the Huangpu River is full of sand, how can a house be built in a place that is a place of trade in the future, even if the city is not repaired." How can you build a house with sand all this ground? ”

Zhang Yanfang felt a little embarrassed, after all, he had only been in Shanghu County for a few days, and he didn't know where Shanghu County was, so he made a small mistake. However, he immediately adjusted and asked, "Then why is it not on the west bank and not on the east coast?" ”

Although Han Guang felt that he had a lot of problems, he was appointed to Shanghai to preside over the opening of the sea and trade, which was obviously the rhythm of someone above, and they did not dare to offend, so they still patiently replied: "The land on the west bank is not as good as the east coast, the land price is cheap, and there is a lot of wasteland that is not suitable for farming, which not only saves expenses for the Ming Dynasty, but also does not affect the tax and grain of the county." ”

Zhang Yanfang felt that these two people were indeed right, if what they said was true. Thinking of this, Zhang Yanfang was polite to them, then said some more words, and then sent them out.

Although Zhang Yanfang already believed them in his heart, he still decided to inspect it himself, and then choose a location if it was really the same as the two of them said.

After Wei Huo and Han Guang came out, when they rode back to the guard station on their horses, Wei Huo and Han Guang said: "It's okay now, let's go to Shanghai County to be developed, and it will also be beneficial to you and me." ”

Han Guang said: "It will be beneficial in the future." ”

Wei Huo said: "Where is the future? Beneficial now. We didn't lie to this Zhang Zhixian, he went to see it for himself, then he must choose the west bank of the Huangpu River as a place for trade, let's let our relatives buy some land in advance, and then circle some wasteland that doesn't cost money, and then sell the land to make a fortune when the place is chosen. ”

Han Guang said: "But there are many places on the west bank of the Huangpu River, and there will not be a place for trade, so how can it be pressed right?" ”

Wei Huo said: "This needs to buy off the officials." I look at this Zhang Zhixian, it's not like he chose a place with a stroke of a pen in the county office, he will definitely come to the place to see it before, let's buy the official to know where he has gone, where his expression is, and then we can know that it is that land. And the wasteland doesn't need money, just circle it, and it's okay if you have more circles. ”

"These officials don't know what's going on, and they don't dare to come to them if they know about it afterwards. It's just that there are people in the Wang Dahu family in Qingpu who are officials in the court, so he must know about it. Tomorrow I'm going to get to the bottom of him, and I can't say I'm going to get some of him. ”

Han Guang suddenly realized and said, "You are so talented. Share some profits, share some profits, everyone earns money! ”
