Zhou Zhong is very strange, it is very normal to move the administrative office to Taiwan, and to move the military academy to Taiwan, but they were opposed by Wang Shouren and Jiao Fang, and neither of them gave an explanation in person, but just found some plausible reasons to disagree, which made Zhou Chong also very helpless, after all, the Governor's Mansion is not his alone, and he also needs to consider the opinions of others, so these two things can only be put on hold temporarily.

After the meeting, Zhou Chong returned to the study by himself, and then sat there leisurely drinking tea and waiting, because he knew that Jiao Fang would definitely come to him to explain the reason. However, what Zhou Chong didn't expect was that Jiao Fang didn't wait, but it was Wang Shouren who waited.

"Your Excellency the Governor is so laid-back!" I saw Wang Shouren enter the study, sat down with a smile and tasted the tea ceremony, after this period of getting along, he also has an understanding of Zhou Chong's temperament, Zhi Lu Dao, the governor is usually very easy-going, and never put on any shelf, it can be said that he is a very easy to get along with, so when he gets along with Zhou Zhong in private, he also behaves very casually.

"Brother Bo'an, how can you have time to come and sit here, you have been busy with the Inspectorate during this time, after all, not only the three fleets will change, but the three state capitals under the Governor's Mansion will also make corresponding adjustments, which is also a big challenge for you according to the Inspectorate Division!" Zhou Zhong also said with a smile.

After Wang Shouren and Zhou Chong chatted a few irrelevant official words, they began to get to the point, only to see Wang Shouren take the initiative to speak: "My lord, today the lower official proposed to move the administrative office from Shuangyu Port out of Lu, and Lord Zhang proposed to move it to Taiwan, but the lower official felt very inappropriate. That's why I didn't agree. And Master Jiao Fangjiao seems to have the same idea. ”

"Oh. I'm also wondering about this matter, among the three prefectures under the rule of the Governor's Palace, only Taiwan is the closest to my Ming Dynasty, and there are also Han people, so it is very easy to develop, why don't you and Master Jiao agree? Zhou Zhong finally put forward the question in his heart at this time, he thought about this question for a long time, but he never figured it out.

Wang Shouren came to find Zhou Chong. Originally, he was explaining the reason to him, but before explaining, he hesitated for a while, and only then did he say with a straight face: "Your Excellency Governor, the lower officials have a question that may offend Your Excellency the Governor, so before raising this question, I hope Your Excellency the Governor will not blame!" ”

"Brother Bo'an, if you have any questions, it's okay to ask, although I am young, I still have some belly!" Zhou Chongzhi Daoist Wang Shouren's problem must be related to his previous opposition to moving the administrative office to Taiwan, so he was also anxious to know what Daoist Wang Shouren was afraid of.

"Your Excellency. What Xia Guan wants to ask is, do you have the heart to rebel? Wang Shouren asked with a solemn face.

"Boom~" Zhou Chong heard this question as if someone had thrown a grenade in his head. Because he didn't expect Wang Shouren to ask like this, but then he couldn't laugh or cry, he was Zhengde's younger brother, and Zhengde had no son, his son would be the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future, in this case, what reason did he have to rebel?

"Brother Bo'an, your question really makes me cry and laugh, although I have encountered some problems, but with the efforts of His Majesty and our courtiers, the situation in Daming is improving day by day, at this time the rebellion is simply self-defeating, is it in your opinion, I am like a person who has committed suicide?" Zhou Zhong couldn't say his relationship with Zhengde, so he could only use other reasons to justify it.

However, Wang Shouren did not relax when he heard Zhou Chong's words, but still said with a solemn expression: "My lord, through this period of getting along, I also know that Lord Lu Dao has no intention of rebellion, and only wants to seek benefits for the people of my Ming Dynasty. ”

Wang Shouren took a long breath when he said this, and then said: "But although the lord is loyal to the imperial court, but he must also have a heart of self-reflection, although the lord has no intention of rebellion, but you open your eyes and take a look, the land under the governor's palace is all overseas, there is money and people, and at the same time, you also have three major fleets in your hands, these people together have more than 100,000 people, and these people are nominally the army of the imperial court, but they have been supported by the governor's palace itself, and you can even say unceremoniously, Their loyalty to the Governor's Mansion is far greater than their loyalty to the Imperial Court, it can be said that you already have the strength to rebel, as long as the Governor gives an order, the entire Ming Overseas will become a kingdom that belongs to you......"

"Say no more!" Before Wang Shouren finished speaking, Zhou Zhong was already drenched in a cold sweat, he always wanted to enhance the maritime strength of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible, so when developing the fleet, he was also unscrupulous, and the military salary of the imperial court was not enough, so it would be raised by the governor's palace itself, plus he and Zhengde were brothers, so he felt that he and the imperial court were actually one, and he never thought that the imperial court would have scruples about his own strength.

But now Wang Shouren's words woke him up all of a sudden, even if he is Zhengde's younger brother, Daming has always been the strictest defense of the royal family, and now Zhengde trusts himself, but trust this thing is the most unreliable, in case one day Zhengde suddenly finds that Zhou Chong's strength has been out of the grasp of the imperial court, and even has threatened his throne, then the current trust may become extremely fragile, and even fratricidal things will occur in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong also felt a kind of powerless fear, he never had any intention of rebellion, he used to participate in smuggling just to make his family live better, and then the business became bigger and bigger, he hoped to make some small changes to Daming with his own strength, but later with the appointment of Zhengde as an official, his influence on Daming became more and more great, and even he himself regarded himself as the savior of Daming, but he forgot that he was not the emperor of Daming after all, and there was a Zhengde on top of his head, If he continues to develop so unscrupulously, I am afraid that sooner or later he will attract the suspicion of Zhengde.

"Thank you Brother Bo'an for reminding me, Zhou Zhong is here to thank you!" At this time, I saw Zhou Chong stand up solemnly and make a big salute to Wang Shouren, he didn't get along with Wang Shouren for a long time, but now the other party took the risk to warn him, which made Zhou Chong also very moved.

For Zhou Chong's thanks, Wang Shouren did not dodge, but stood there and received Zhou Chong's bow, and then said with a smile: "It is not too late for the Governor to wake up now, and His Majesty still trusts you very much, but if you want Your Majesty to maintain such trust, you need the Governor to pay attention to some things himself, such as the governor's office, it must not be established overseas, it is best to choose a suitable place in the coastal area of the Ming Dynasty, so that the activities of the Governor's Mansion are under the supervision of the imperial court." , the ministers of the court will not say anything, and His Majesty will naturally be more at ease with the adults! ”

The reason why Wang Shouren and Jiao Fang disagree with Zhang Cai's opinion on moving the government to Taiwan is actually because he is afraid of the reaction of the imperial court, after all, Zhou Chong's strength is growing too fast now, and the entire Sihai Governor's Mansion almost does not rely on the imperial court, it can be said that it is independent of the imperial court, and now relying on Zhengde's trust in Zhou Chong, nothing has happened, but if Zhou Chong moves the governor's office to Taiwan now, although Taiwan is very close to the Ming Dynasty, but in the eyes of the imperial court, it is still an overseas place, and the governor's palace moved there. has almost escaped the control of the imperial court, even if Zhou Chong does not intend to rebel, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of the imperial court.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Shouren and Jiao Fang will oppose Zhang Cai's opinion, as for Zhang Cai's proposal to move the Governor's Mansion to Taiwan, the meaning of this is very intriguing, to know that with Zhang Cai's talent, it is impossible for him not to see the significance of moving the Governor's Mansion to Taiwan, but even so, he still took the initiative to put it forward, just thinking about it, Zhou Chong felt cold in his heart, Zhang Cai was preparing to force himself to rebel, and then he could be the founding minister!

Thinking of this, Zhou Chong wiped the cold sweat on his face again, and then said to Wang Shouren: "Brother Bo'an, the governance office must not be able to move overseas, or according to your wishes, find a suitable landlord in the Daming coast, and then we will jointly play to the court and settle this matter as soon as possible, but now my heart is very confused, I don't know if you have a suitable place?" ”

Seeing Zhou Chong's current performance, Wang Shouren was even more sure that the other party had no intention of rebelling, which made him completely relieved, and after thinking about it, he replied to Zhou Chong's words: "My lord, our governor's palace is mainly to manage the Ming coast, so the best place to govern the governor's palace is a good seaport, and the seaports along the coast of my Daming Dynasty are the best in Guangzhou, Ningbo, Quanzhou and other places, but these ports are also very valued by the imperial court, and it is difficult for the imperial court to agree to assign it to us as a governing office. Therefore, we might as well find a coastal area with the most development potential as a place of governance, and in the opinion of Xia Guan, the area around the mouth of the Yangtze River, that is, Songjiang Mansion, the hometown of adults, is the most suitable place! ”

Hearing that Wang Shouren was selected as Songjiang Mansion, Zhou Chong also praised and said: "Wonderful, although Songjiang Mansion is famous for its silkworm cotton cloth, but it is not famous in maritime trade, if we jointly write a letter, we should be able to persuade the imperial court to classify Songjiang as the governor's mansion, the most rare thing is that it is located at the mouth of the Yangtze River, not only can communicate Sichuan and the two lakes with the help of the Yangtze River, but also is located in the middle of the Ming coast, it can also communicate the north and south, and the port there is also very good, as long as the investment is increased, A good harbour will soon be built!
