Suzhou.

There is heaven above, there is Suzhou and Hangzhou below, at this time, Suzhou, although it is not as good as the Ming and Qing dynasties, but it is also a prosperous city in the south.

Moreover, the style of Suzhou gardens has prevailed at this time.

It's just that these garden beauties have nothing to do with Lin Chuanzhong.

As one of the best shipwrights in Quanzhou, he had been in Suzhou for five days, and the eleven people he had come along the way still stayed in the post station and could not leave.

This made Lin Chuanzhong worried about his future.

The area of Suzhou Post Station is not small, this is a big post, but they are only lowly shipwrights, where can they get good treatment, so they are all detained in a small wing, eleven people live in bunks, like prisoners.

"Brother Chuanzhong, when can we leave...... You say, Haizhou is really going to build a big shipyard? Beside him, Lin Nianzudao, who is also from Quanzhou.

The two are distant relatives, but they have already come out of five suits. Lin Chuanzhong didn't look down on his frill-minded and inattentive relative, glanced at him, and said slowly: "Don't care so much, you have the nobles above." ”

A low-level little person like them, even if they worry too much, what's the use, they still can't afford a word from the nobles above. For example, this time, they had been staying well in Quanzhou, but they were brought over like wolves by the messengers, like prisoners, and taken directly onto the northbound road.

You must know that the day they set off, it was just after the Lantern Festival!

Halfway through, they learned that the purpose of the trip was Haizhou, and they had only gone in advance, and after they settled down, even their families would have to be sent to Haizhou.

Therefore, although Lin Chuanzhong is worried about his future, he can't do anything about it.

Lin Nianzu still wanted to speak, but suddenly there was a commotion outside the post house, his attention was immediately diverted, and he rushed to look, and after a while, he heard beatings and crying.

After the sound stopped, Lin Nianzu returned to Lin Chuanzhong's side unsatisfactorily: "That Mingzhou guy is not honest, and he was beaten as a result!" ”

Like them, there were several other groups of people who were detained here, all of whom were shipwrights from all over the world, and the group in the opposite courtyard was from Mingzhou, and they had been in a lot of trouble these days, and they were beaten up by a group of servants who were like wolves and tigers.

When will this day come to an end......

Lin Chuanzhong was thinking like this, and suddenly, he heard someone shouting: "Get up, get up, you fools, get up for me, go, get ready to leave, now, immediately, immediately!" ”

The detained shipwrights came out of the house one after another, only to see a few servants walking out like dogs, Lin Nianzu smiled and stepped forward to curry favor, but he was whipped on the head.

"It's all idle food, the defense envoy is really kind, let you fools eat this idle meal for a long time, all come with us, there is something for you to do!"

Not only these boatmen from Quanzhou, but also the rest of the shipwrights from Mingzhou and other places were also driven out. At this time, although the first month has passed, it is still early spring, the weather is cold, and everyone is shivering outside the post house.

After waiting outside for a while, I finally saw someone coming.

"This waste, the shipwrights? Bring them all to me, and from now on you will be blessed, and follow the defenders, and there will always be your good! ”

Among the shipwrights from Mingzhou, there was one who still had a blue nose and swollen face, obviously the guy who had been beaten just now, and said at this time: "But now you are leaving for Haizhou?" ”

"What Haizhou, Huti Huti, you don't need to go to that poor country, you just stay in Suzhou - you are under the order of Zhu Gong of the Bureau to raise the defense envoy of Hezhou, and you have been requisitioned!"

The boatmen were amazed.

Although they were forced to bring them from home, there were also people on the road who knew that the imperial court was interested in building a new shipyard in Haizhou, so they sent shipwrights from all over the country to prepare to build unprecedented seaships. And those errand servants said with envy that when they arrived in Haizhou, life was better, and it was said that Haizhou was too guarded by Su Zhe, and there was a special supplement for these boatmen.

"Suzhou should be served by Zhu Gong...... It's Zhu Mian! Someone exclaimed.

Then all the boatmen gasped.

"Zhu Yingfeng's name is also something that you, a dog thief, can mention?" As soon as the horn sounded, the person who said Zhu Mian's name was slapped and kicked again, rolling on the ground, but he didn't even dare to moan.

Now that Zhu Mian is in Jiangnan, he is really notorious.

Seeing that the shipwrights were in a commotion, several of the officers punched and kicked them, and they were crushed down.

"Brother Chuanzhong, it's bad now, this Zhu Yingfeng is not a good thing!"

"Official, have you seen anything good?"

The two of the Lin family held their heads and squatted in the crowd and muttered quietly, because there was a lot of commotion around them, so no one would hear them.

Then they saw a man in gorgeous clothes coming over, this person was wearing a gold belt around his waist, and he commanded angrily: "Hurry up, hurry up, if it's late, Zhu Yingfeng doesn't have so much patience!" ”

Beside him, there were several people in gorgeous clothes, but they just wore silver belts around their waists.

Officers, soldiers, and some men who looked like domestic servants surrounded and drove the boatmen forward.

When passing by the person with the golden belt, Lin Chuanzhong heard him sneer and said to the person with a silver belt next to him: "That Zhou Quan Xiao'er, I don't know what to do, I thought that if I dealt with Li Bangyan, I could crush our Zhu Yingfeng, and I dared to take the Haizhou salt field...... Although Zhu Yingfeng doesn't take the little thing in the salt field to heart, if he doesn't have some response, wouldn't it seem that we Zhu Yingfeng are bullying! ”

"That is, we have always been the only one who should be used to oppress others, and we have been bullied and oppressed by others, and the brothers are extremely angry in their hearts, not to mention what kind of bullshit cement that guy has made, it is said that the official family will be of great use when he repairs Genyue, isn't this the mission that we should serve!" The silverband man laughed.

"This time, I dug a pit and let him jump, doesn't he want to build a shipyard in Haizhou, intercept all the shipwrights, and go to build a boat for the official family, if he knows each other, he should endure it obediently, if he doesn't know each other, it will ruin the affairs of the official family, see how Zhu Yingfeng will clean him up!"

Lin Chuanzhong couldn't understand what they meant, but he vaguely guessed that they, the shipwrights, seemed to be involved in the conflict between the big guys.

Almost at the same time, in the Jingshi, in Yang Jian's mansion, Yang Jian was furious at Hu Jin: "I just say that you do things in a measured manner, and you have always called me what I want, why are you so neglectful in this matter of the Chamber of Commerce!" ”

Hu Jincheng was panicked, and he didn't have the slightest degree of a scholar: "Why did the benefactor say this, he had already tried his best in his later life......"

"Why are other families monopolizing all the way, but the old man is here, but he wants to carve up Jingdong with others?"

Hu Jin scolded secretly in his heart, others got a high amount of authorization when they went, and although Yang Jian trusted him, the amount of authorization he gave him was only 60,000 yuan. The better places are not the ones that 60,000 Guan can take, and being able to partner with others to win Jingdong Lianglu is already the result of his painstaking efforts, coercion and temptation.

And when he reported back, Yang Jian also praised him for doing a good job, but at this time, things have changed, and it has been a few months, but he turned the old things out and brought them up again, caught him and scolded him, in fact, he was angry with him.

Zhou Quan transported a large amount of cotton from the south, and after a complete set of processes, he woven 6,000 pieces of cotton cloth, which were made into cotton clothes and sold in Beijing. During the past Chinese New Year, his cotton clothes were extremely popular, not only warmer but also more durable than linen, so their price was nearly twice as high as that of linen. Six thousand pieces of cotton cloth fetched nearly four thousand dollars, and they were sold out in just three days.

Yang Jian didn't know this news at first, but yesterday he sent a private message to the director of the Cotton Chamber of Commerce in Xuzhou to inform him of the news, which made Yang Jian, who was already greedy for money and profit, very excited, and at the same time began to regret that he did not have the exclusive right to monopolize all the way.

With a pure profit of 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands of yuan a year, Yang Jian couldn't help but feel heartbroken, he once again saw an opportunity to make a fortune pass by him.

Therefore, Hu Jin, who handled this matter, had to be called by him and scolded him.

Hu Jin's heart was full of grievances, but his mouth was only a whisper, anyway, he was not loyal, he, Shi Xuan and Qin Zi secretly joined Zhou Quan's Donghai Chamber of Commerce, and they were determined to go overseas to find Jinshan Yinshan, and this matter was hidden from Yang Jian.

Not only did he hide it from Yang Jian, but secretly he also used Yang Jian's name to get more than ten blank national seals with a big seal from the Honglu Temple Guoxin Office, as long as Zhou Quan was willing, he could fill in any content on it. It can be said that with this, in most countries around the Great Song Dynasty, Wuji can be passed.

He didn't defend himself, but this attitude satisfied Yang Jian.

"Yang Gong, Xiu Nu, Xiu Nu, although the cotton cloth is good, but it will take at least two or three years until it can be popular in the world, and it is said to be rich, but in fact it is still subject to others, in the eyes of villains, there should be no high hopes for this."

Just as Hu Jin quietly breathed a sigh of relief, he heard a voice that disgusted him sound.

Hu Jin glanced over there, it was Du Gongcai.

This guy was the first person under Yang Jian to deal with Zhou Fu and Zhou Quan, and after completely defecting to Yang Jian, he got the position of a small official in Beijing, specializing in the internal treasury. The official position is not big, but he is Yang Jian's cronies, and he specially came up with the idea to search for Yang Jian.

He originally had a decent relationship with the Zhou family's father and son, but with the change of identity, the jealousy of the Zhou family's father and son began to prevail.

Fortunately, Du Gongcai still knew something important, and did not try to separate the relationship between Yang Jian and Zhou Quan, he only occasionally came up with ideas, wanting to prove to Yang Jian that he also had the same talents as the Zhou family father and son, and even when it came to making money, he was stronger than the Zhou family father and son.

"If you don't have high hopes for Zhou Quan, do you have to have high hopes for you?" Yang Jian glanced at him.

"The villain really has a plan...... There is no need to ask for people at all, as long as you say that the official family is moving, it is a source of money, and it can also make the official family believe that Yang Gong is a capable and virtuous official, compared to Cai Taishi and hidden them, they are not inferior! Du Gongcai said confidently.

He didn't know what kind of storm he thought his clever plan would set off in the Great Song Dynasty!
