In the next few days, Mao Jue seemed to have forgotten about the Dutch East India Company, and continued to do what he should do, in July, after receiving seven or eight million taels of silver, more than 40,000 women, and 1.9 million stone of grain from Nanming, the main fleet of the empire, which had been waiting for a long time, finally set sail to the south.

The purpose of this trip is not to fight, but to collect almost all the port cities that were scraped by the Southern Ming Dynasty to the Northern Ming Dynasty one by one, after all, Mao Jue's Ming Dynasty Navigation Age will also start to prepare with a countdown situation.

First of all, the first occupation is Shanghai, but unfortunately the Pudong of later generations swallowed up the amazing trade of Asia, at this time the Huangpu River, but is only a small county and a barren beach, the end of the Qing Dynasty that the grand occasion of the gathering of all countries is not a shadow, and in the late Qing Dynasty, the conditions for Shanghai to rise belong to the Xiangjiang River with the sea, the merchant goods from other cities can quickly radiate the Jiangnan region through the Huangpu River, and the local raw silk, porcelain, tea cloth and other bulk goods are also exported along the river.

But Mao Jue's next five-year plan is to starve Jiangnan! The purpose of occupying these ports is also to lock up the economy of Jiangnan and directly break down the social foundation of those family gates, where is he willing to share the dividends of foreign trade to Nanming? As a result, the magic capital, which was famous in later generations and ranked first in the world in terms of land price, is now only sent by Beiming to occupy it symbolically.

After a day's anchorage in Shanghai, the mighty Imperial Navy carried tens of thousands of troops down the coast and arrived at Hangzhou Bay after a three-day voyage.

Compared with the wild Shanghai County, the value of Hangzhou can be much greater, topographically, the crescent-shaped Hangzhou Bay is an excellent haven, economically, since Longqing switch, here is one of the main trading ports, silk production area, West Lake Longjing is even more famous.

The social component here is also very much in line with the needs of the Northern Ming Dynasty, and most of the families that originally dominated the city have moved away, leaving only the exploited poor industrial and commercial owners who can hardly afford to wear pants, as well as the silk workers and tea workers.

And unlike the grinning Jiangnan Shi clan, Mao Jue received an unprecedented warm welcome.

The fleet has just landed, the crackling firecrackers have been brilliantly sounded, the emperor's treatment of loess paving, from the port of Hangzhou Bay has been laid to the ancient city of Yuhang, a large team of tens of thousands of people with the black background of the Northern Ming Dynasty and Mao Jue's fiery red battle flag shouted excitedly, at the front, is the old man who has not been seen for several years.

is still such a charming plain white dress and shawl, and the amazing feather fan from Jiangnan on display in the American Museum in the future, this head with a heavy creaking sound, the landing ladder of the Black Pearl was lowered, looking at Mao Jue surrounded by many generals, like the sun, Luo Ning led everyone to bow down slowly, gently but politely bowed.

"The concubine and the old colleagues of Hangzhou Township will meet the regent Chitose Chitose Chitose!"

"Fathers, please get up! Hangzhou, not only the king's Hangzhou, but also our common home, ten years ago, here the West Lake waves and Qiantang beauty, the king is still vivid, this time the king came to the purpose, not only to rule, but also to build here into a beautiful and rich land, but also hope that all the fathers and villagers can help the king, Mao Jue is here thank you! ”

What other kings are talking about is not the whole world, but not the royal land, and they place great emphasis on their own imperial power! Xiang Mao Jue was so humble as the first to admit that the land is everyone's land, which is really unprecedented, especially when he also promised that he came not to collect taxes, but to build, so that every Hangzhou citizen couldn't help but warm up.

The first impression the regent gave to the ancient city was a high score.

Mao Jue's army did not have a domineering military leader, the infantry neatly carried bayonets and rifles, marched in unison, and marched majestically towards Yuhang City, and those local gentry followed in admiration.

And this army is surprisingly not stationed in the city, I don't know which book before the crossing to see, the Ming Empire's troops from the elite to the corrupt and degenerate, it is a process from outside the city to the city, the most typical of which is the three battalions of the Beijing Division, long-term mixed with small citizens, the wind of the market is too corrosive to the army.

Therefore, the Dongjiang troops, unless they are strategically needed, Mao Jue will not let them enter the city easily.

The acceptance ceremony was still held in the city, in the Yuhang Mansion, Mao Jue symbolically took over the Hangzhou seal, and immediately selected an elder from the local gentry as the prefect of Hangzhou, of course, for the local gentry, Mao Jue still has to guard against a hand, the director of the public security bureau is a retired Dongjiang officer, 200 police units are from the Dongjiang veterans, the government judge, the director of the government industry and commerce, the director of the land bureau and a series of official positions are also appointed by the Dongjiang election officials, and the elite with high loyalty is specially selected.

In the afternoon of the same day, the local rule of Hangzhou Prefecture in the Northern Ming Dynasty was once again in operation.

In order to express his trust in his subordinates, Mao Jue didn't even ask about the planning and administration of Hangzhou Prefecture, and that night, under the envious but natural gaze of the Hangzhou gentry, he lived in the Luojia Manor on the edge of the West Lake. Even together, Mao Jue was in the same car as Luo Ning, which made the rumors that the shopkeeper Luo was Mao Jue, the merry regent, even more confirmed.

But if they could hear the conversation in the car, their eyes would definitely be staring.

Full of anger, the dignified regent actually banged on the table and roared through gritted teeth.

"Profiteers!"

"Shopkeeper Luo, your appearance is too ugly! This king has come all the way from afar, and what he has in his hands is an empty city? ”

It is exactly the same as the cunning of the little fox back then, but it has a lot more mature charm than back then, the feather fan covers the small mouth full of smiles, and Luo Ning's big watery eyes blink with an innocent appearance.

"What does the Lord Regent mean by that? Why can't the concubine understand? ”

"Don't pretend to be garlic with Lao Tzu! This time, I will hang a Luojia brand, and I will hang a Luojia brand, good guys, this king has not come this month, you have bought Hangzhou City short! You are a naked monopoly! ”

The corners of her mouth twitched, Mao Jue complained sadly and angrily, but unfortunately, this girl still looked like a lazy beauty, leaning softly on a comfortable leather chair, and her aggrieved appearance made Mao Jue as uncomfortable and depressed as a punch on cotton.

"Isn't the concubine body for the sake of the regent, hello, are you afraid that something will happen in Hangzhou? If you don't appreciate it, you can arrest the concubine! ”

As she spoke, the girl also put down the fan, put a pair of small hands together, and stretched out to the front, letting Mao Jue hold her.

Luo Ning can definitely be regarded as a goblin, this style, this coquettish appearance, Mao Jue is really dry-mouthed, and he can't wait to really take down this goblin directly with a hemp rope, and then come to the car to correct the law on the spot.

It's a pity, there are still big things to use this girl, before this, Luo Ning, a shrewd girl who can always take advantage, Mao Jue doesn't dare to touch it, once it touches, it will be a loss for the silver of the white flowers! In this girl's resentful eyes, Mao Jue poured cold water on himself and calmed down.

"The Luo family's property, this king will give you five million taels, this share, this king will get ninety percent!"

"Let's talk about concubines, the prince is the biggest profiteer!"

Before, the Luo family's industry was no less than 20 million taels, taking advantage of Nanming's shaved pants in Hangzhou City, and merging a series of Hangzhou industries at a cheap price, the Luo family, which is worth a lot, is really not a joke now, the previous shares Mao Jue and Luo Ning split in half, and now he wants to take away 40% of the shares for five million taels, which is indeed a bit of a strong buy and sell, but looking at this girl pouting aggrievedly, Mao Jue is even more headache to pat his head.

"Be content! This trip, Wang Hao's mighty army of 300,000 pressed Jiangnan, how many bloody battles have been, and this is only from Jiangnan to less than eight million taels, you sit comfortably at home, five million taels will be in hand! Besides, this king is going to do a big deal with these shares, and he needs to bring together the industrialists and businessmen in Hangzhou City, and your 10% shares will not be worth more than 50% now, so you can steal the fun! ”

"The prince said it well, these five million taels, when the prince marries a concubine, it doesn't have to be used as a dowry and returned to the prince!"

Mao Jue was helpless again, this little vixen is too shrewd! Mao Jue deliberately said to her that she was still seen by this girl, annoyed and angry, Mao Jue didn't pretend to be a serious prince, and directly took out the Dongjiang Iron Rules, so don't make noise, a pair of hands directly scratched the soft underbelly of this girl, and suddenly, the whole carriage sounded like a silver bell.

"Aha!! It's so itchy! The concubine knows that she is wrong, and whatever the prince says is what she is! Don't scratch, ahaha, help! ”

........

The Jiangnan family's means of corrosing and co-opting are really powerful, and even Mao Jue's personal guard Sakura Ji was "bought", and was bullied by Mao Jue in the carriage, and was signed an "unequal treaty" when he went back.

Mao Jue, who ate a meal, had sparks in his eyes, and was helped to the bedroom by Luo Ning's coquettishness, seeing that he was about to get on the horse, Luo Ning was unwell and retired shyly, Mao Jue, who was holding back the fire in his belly, was really not crazy by this hand.

Full of anger, he wanted to find Sakura Ji to put out the fire, who knew that a few cronies and guards ruthlessly smashed Mao Jue's dream.

Sakura-sama is on vacation today, so I'm going to the city to enjoy the moon and drink!

The insects outside the window seemed to grin and laugh at a certain king, chirping louder, and Mao Jue, who was sitting sleepless with his brother, was sadly lifting the brush to write a letter to Adleena.

"Come quickly, the prime minister of the Ru family is going to die!"
