Xin Ci clapped his hands and said, "Master Hou's move is really wonderful. The last general has also been worried, this is to reopen the sea trade, how to start, Hou Ye came up with the establishment of the sea berth division, it is really smart. Then he frowned and said, "However, the last general is worried that this sea division can be established, but it is not possible to continue trading in front of you." ”

"What does General Xin mean?"

"Master Hou, the Northern Expedition of the Imperial Court is imminent, and everything else must come first in this matter." Xin Ci said in a low voice: "The weapons and silver taels captured this time are all to be sent to the capital and included in the treasury, even so, once the war is not as smooth as expected, the current treasury will not be able to support it at all, so it is impossible for the imperial court to allocate silver to other places." When the Haibo Division began to be established, it naturally cost a lot of silver, and the navigation of maritime trade, the purchase of goods, the materials needed to go to sea, and the wages of sailors, all of which required a lot of silver, and the imperial court was afraid that it would not be able to allocate the silver. ”

"I've actually considered this as well." Qi Ning said: "If you really want to open the air as soon as possible, then you must raise money, and I have an idea on my side." ”

Xin Ci said with interest: "I don't know what idea Master Hou came up with?" ”

"As far as I know, when the Jiang family opened to navigation, they didn't have that much financial resources to open routes." Qi Ning said: "The Jiang family united more than a dozen merchants of all sizes in the East China Sea and raised a large amount of silver, which formed a trading fleet, and these merchants have to share a lot of dividends from the maritime trade every year. ”

Xin Ci understood, and said in a low voice: "Is Master Hou also ready to .....?" ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "The imperial court can't come up with the silver, you can raise money from the merchants, General Xin, I dare to guarantee that as long as this rumor is released, there will be a lot of businessmen who want to participate." ”

Xin Ci sighed: "At the beginning, the maritime trade may have to take some silver into it, but once the trade is smooth, then there will definitely be no loss, the Jiang family has become the richest man in the East China Sea by relying on maritime trade for so many years, and the businessmen who participated in it have also earned a lot of money." Wei Yi groaned, and said with a little worry: "Master Hou, you wrote to the imperial court to set up the Haibo Division, the purpose of which was to let the right of maritime trade be transferred from the local gentry to the hands of the imperial court. ”

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "That's not going to happen." I am going to raise silver taels from other places after the establishment of the Haibo Division, but all the merchants who can take the silver will not give them dividends every year, but within three years, they will repay them with principal and interest, and they will become the permanent named merchants of the Haipo Division, regardless of the shipment and purchase, they will give them priority and give them a certain share. ”

Xin Ci said: "Since the Hou Ye has this idea, he can report this matter to the court in the fold." He lowered his voice and said, "The last general will also send another letter to the old marquis, imploring the old marquis to make every effort to promote this matter." ”

Qi Ning said with a smile: "This is a good thing for the country and the people, if the old marquis can reach out to help, this matter will definitely be twice the result with half the effort." After a pause, he said: "General Xin, earlier you said that you would let the Black Tiger Shark gang enter the water division, I don't think it's appropriate, do you think it would be a problem if they were to be in charge of the transportation of maritime trade?" ”

Xin Ci was stunned, he never thought that Qi Ning would have such an idea, and he was silent for a while before frowning and whispering: "Master Hou is preparing to let this group of people belong to the Haibo Division?" ”

"Once the maritime trade continues, it is natural that a merchant fleet at sea will be needed." Qi Ning said: "The scale of the Jiang family's merchant fleet is not small, but in the future, the fleet of the Haibo Division will be even larger than the Jiang family's fleet, and more sailors will be needed." ”

"Master Hou, there are seven or eight hundred people under the Black Tiger Shark, these people are extremely good at water, and many of them have sailing skills." Xin Ci said thoughtfully: "In the past, the fleet that went to the South Seas was mainly composed of two teams, one was the sailors responsible for sailing, and the other was the escort responsible for safety. ”

"That's true."

"Although the Black Tiger Shark is a rabble, they are all outlaws, bold, but they also dare to fight for their lives." Xin Ci said: "If it takes a month or two to train these people, their combat effectiveness will definitely not be weak, so that they can be both sailors and escorts, killing two birds with one stone, and the cost of trade will be greatly reduced." ”

Qi Ning clapped his hands and smiled: "General Xin's words, that's exactly what I thought. If these hundreds of people are organized into the Haibo Division and take the salary of the imperial court to run errands for the imperial court, not only can they avoid the uncertain troubles brought by their return to their hometowns, but also serve the country, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone. ”

"Master Hou, if these people are really willing to serve the imperial court, then they naturally can't ask for it." Xin Ci said in a low voice: "But the last general dares to say a word, I'm afraid that these people and dogs can't change their eating, if they make trouble again, ..... it?" ”

Qi Ning bowed his head slightly and said, "General Xin's concern is not unreasonable. I have also thought carefully in the past two days, and if they die and do not repent, it will indeed bring great trouble. ”

"The Haibo Division was set up by the Hou Ye at the request of the imperial court, and the Hou Ye recommended this group of people to enter the Haibo Division, once something happens, the Hou Ye will be involved in it." Xin Ci kindly reminded: "This matter still needs to be considered by the Hou Ye, and you must not leave yourself with troubles." ”

Qi Ning smiled slightly and said, "Thank you General Xin for reminding me, I will consider it carefully." ”

Before dusk, the three excerpts have been written, after Xin Ci prepared the excerpts, he gave them to Qi Ning for a look, Qi Ning glanced at them casually, and didn't say much, Chen Ting also sent the excerpts over there, Qi Ning saw that the content on Chen Ting's excerpts was roughly not much different from what had been discussed before, and Chen Ting's literati background, this rhetoric was naturally gorgeous, and the three excerpts were sent immediately, and Pegasus was sent to the capital.

After the excerpt was sent away, Xin Ci first said goodbye to Qi Ning and returned to the naval camp, while Qi Ning instructed Chen Ting to raise chariots and horses in the East China Sea, and be ready to transport the weapons and goods on the warship to the capital at any time.

The amount of materials is too huge, to be transported to the capital, the number of carriages and horses needed is naturally a huge number, Chen Ting got Qi Ning's instructions, naturally did not dare to slack off, immediately mobilized the carriages and horses inside and outside the city of Gulin, and sent them to the camp of the sailor, in addition, Qi Ning asked Chen Ting to send all the accounts found from the Jiang family to the post house, when Chen Ting arrested the Jiang family's family members before, he naturally had to take advantage of the situation to copy the Jiang family upside down, confidential letters and evidence of rebellion naturally could not be found, but when it came to the Jiang family's trade accounts, It was two large boxes that were found.

Since Qi Ning had an order, Chen Ting naturally did not dare to delay, and immediately sent someone to send all the accounts to the post house from the confiscated objects.

Qi Ning did not return to the post house immediately, but took the time to visit Qin Yuege, Qin Yuege went to the Jiangjia Wharf almost alone that day, Jiang Mantian, who had been tense, saw Qin Yuege, and knew that things were not good, and sent someone to kill Qin Yuege to buy some time for the escape of the Jiang family's fleet, but Qin Yuege desperately escaped a way out of life and brought back the news in time, but he was also injured a lot, and Qin Yuege really couldn't participate in the subsequent actions.

Fortunately, Qin Yuege is a good martial artist, his body is strong and strong, and he was sent to the city for treatment, and he has recovered a lot in the past few days, Qi Ning visited him personally, but Qin Yuege was also grateful in his heart.

Qi Ning comforted a few words, seeing that Qin Yuege was still recovering, and he didn't stay long, before dark, he returned to the post house, and as soon as he entered the house, Mrs. Tian greeted him and said, "Master Hou, someone sent two big boxes just now, saying that it was the accounts that Master Hou asked me to send over." Pointing to the corner, he said, "The box is locked, and they left the key here." He took the key and handed it to Qi Ning, who took the key and said with a smile: "Didn't you take a sneak look?" ”

Tian Xuerong said angrily: "This is the account sent by Master Hou, where do I have the courage to peek, I don't believe you can see for yourself if you have been passive." ”

Qi Ning smiled: "Actually, these accounts are sent to you to see." While walking towards the two big boxes: "These are all bills collected from the Jiang family, the Jiang family has been engaged in maritime trade for so many years, and all the essence is also in this batch of accounts." ”

Tian Xuerong was born in a businessman, as soon as she heard Qi Ning's words, she was immediately interested, twisted her waist and walked over, Qi Ning had already opened the box at this time, and the house was lit with a lamp, Qi Ning motioned to Tian Xuerong who had just come over to bring the oil lamp over, Tian Xuerong obediently went over and brought the oil lamp, and walked to the box in her hand, only to see that the box was full of account books, and the two big boxes added up to hundreds of books, and it can be seen that the interests formed around maritime trade are really huge.

Tian Xuerong couldn't help but ask: "Master Hou, you.... Do you want to find out the Jiang family's comrades from the accounts? ”

Qi Ning was stunned for a moment, then looked at Tian Xuerong, and said with a smile: "What do you think?" ”

"This .....!" Tian Xuerong was a little worried: "Master Hou, in this account, I am only afraid of ..... I'm afraid that there is also a Tian family medicine store in it......! ”

Qi Ning said "oh", and Tian Xuerong said in a low voice: "The Jiang family has brought back a lot of goods from Nanyang, some of which are medicinal materials, and those medicinal materials are only available in Nanyang. Therefore, many medicine stores in the capital will buy a batch of goods from the Jiang family, and we ..... Our Tianjia Pharmacy is no exception. ”

Qi Ning frowned and said, "This is not good, it turns out that the Tian family medicine store and the Jiang family are also involved." ”

"Master Hou, we are only in the medicinal herb business with the Jiang family, and we ..... Moreover, the Tian family medicine store does not get much from the Jiang family every year, and it only adds up to a dozen catties.....! Tian Xuerong hurriedly explained: "Other than that, really.... There really is no other relationship, and I haven't even met Jiang Mantian before. ”

Qi Ning sighed, leaned close to his wife's ear and whispered: "I really want to find out, but no one cares if you are innocent or not, I will cross out your accounts with their family later, how can you thank me?" ”

Tian Xuerong saw Qi Ning with a smile in her eyes, how could she not understand what Qi Ning meant, and bit her lip before she whispered: "I..... I'm all yours, you.... You can ..... whatever you want! ”

Qi Ning laughed, patted Tian Xuerong's plump and upright buttocks, and chuckled: "Don't worry, this account is not to track down the Yu Party, but to bring back the gift to you, since you like to do business, I will make you a big Chu..... No, let you become the world's biggest businessman! ”
