The good official's 2,000 material fortune ship is from Longjiang Bao Shipyard, at this time Longjiang Bao Shipyard since it is building ships, but the master is almost withered, basically can only build 500 materials of the ship, and because the Yangtze River sediment siltation is more serious in these years, the chart changes very quickly, just like the Chongming Island of later generations, at this time called Zhusha, except for a few particularly large, some sand islands even rise in a few years and collapse, Bao Shipyard has no choice but to start building flat-bottomed boats, at this time the problem comes, flat-bottomed boats are good to walk on the river, go to the sea, It became a sampan, and the coastal guards refused to be installed.

Self-financing, the word has to appear here, because at this time the state-owned enterprises of the Ming Kingdom have some self-financing shadows, just like Wanli's father Longqing, want to engage in the operation of shipping, in one breath let Longjiang Bao Shipyard build more than 700 ships, as a result, just went to the sea and walked around, the cabinet drafted an excerpt up, the content is floating, the proportion of floating is not large, seven, but the cabinet and the emperor argued with reason, proving that shipping is not good, and you have to go through the canal, as for the remaining ships, Your Majesty has the people in mind, it is cheaper, Sell it to the people!

Folk, how elegant and noble it is! The point is, can there be ordinary people who can afford to buy a boat that can walk in the sea? Not to mention more than 700 ships.

In short, Longjiang Bao Shipyard because of this transaction, it was really a loss to vomit blood, the shipwrights could not even get their salaries, and there was even a string of officials such as Langzhong of the Ministry of Labor, Wailang, and the director of the Sixth Department of Nanjing. But if this Ministry of Labor Langzhong is in charge of the treasure shipyard, it will inevitably be like a dead parent, in short, whoever is involved is unlucky.

Because the ten ironclad ships of the obedient officials are all U-shaped bottoms, and the draft is deeper, so when they enter the Yangtze River, they will inevitably occupy the waterway, which will be placed in the future generations, and the civil aviation will give way to the warships, which is inevitable and natural, but the Ming Dynasty will even be scolded for collecting taxes by the emperor, you occupy the waterway, others can not care what ironclad ship you are, who you are, hurry up and give me the master, Uncle Guo's ship? I haven't heard of it, do you know where this is, this is Nanjing, there are as many marquis as dogs, what is Uncle Guo?

Even after 500 years, the siltation of the Yangtze River is a big problem, and this is even more so at this time, therefore, the other party blocked the channel, and the ironclad ships suddenly could not advance or retreat, Nanjing has a population of millions, and most of the supply depends on water transportation, and the busyness on the river can be imagined.

At this time, the obedient official is still making up for the cage Jue, Princess Fusang is going to bring it to Yanjing for his sister's purpose, last night he accompanied the three sisters of Chacha to play the Water Margin leaf card, this thing now makes the princesses of Fusang addicted to tight, Fusang does not have this thing to play, as a result, the obedient official lost more than 300 taels of silver to play cards, and when the day was bright, he couldn't stay up, so he went to sleep, so he was blocked on the Yangtze River waterway outside Nanjing, but he didn't know at all.

Mu Jiu, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, said that he was a matchmaker, and he left after speaking, he had a special identity, but he didn't dare to live in the house of the abbot at will, if there was an old eunuch, who would have to give face in Nanjing City, but the obedient officials were like Sun Yinglong, Jinyiwei Nanjing Town, deputy Qianhu, it was okay to scare ordinary officials, but the one opposite couldn't be scared.

Standing on the tower, Xiao Douzi leaned on the railing and looked at the river, a trace of melancholy appeared on his childish cheeks, he was out of the palace during this time, he was also well-informed, there were countless people who wanted to fart and pat his ass, but there were also countless people who did not buy his account, the more he saw, the more he felt that it was better to read thousands of books than to travel thousands of miles, and these things could not be learned in the inner study.

"Father-in-law Dou, the guy on the boat opposite is Xu Guogong's younger brother, relying on Xu Guogong's favor, he has always been lawless in Nanjing City, which is the most difficult of the four shows in Yingtianfu." Sun Yinglong also had a big head, and said to Xiao Douzi in a low voice.

Xiao Douzi was a little curious when he heard this, "What should be the four shows?" Sun Yinglong was suddenly embarrassed, to put it bluntly, they were actually four gentlemen who relied on the power of the family, and the good deeds were praised by them, collectively known as Yingtian Sixiu, but it was best not to spread this word to the ears of Dou Gonggong, his mouth was fast, but he said that he missed his mouth.

Xu Wenmao on the opposite boat is only in his early twenties, born white and fat, curious and pretending to be different, in fact, among the children of Xungui, he is not too squirrel, but he can't stand his fame, the younger brother of the contemporary Xu Guogong and his mother's compatriots, it is said that he is also quite literate, and once secretly changed his name and surname to participate in the township examination of Ying Tianfu, but was discovered and blasted out, the examiner looked at the paper he made, and he was actually stable, and couldn't help but praise two sentences, thinking that Xungui can make such a volume, which is particularly rare, and this word spread, made him famous all the time.

Xu Guogong is the head of Nanjing's nobles, so the good deeds praised him and the children of several powerful families, known as Ying Tian Sixiu, he was complacent, and he confirmed this name.

Of course, this so-called is not too shy, but compared with those powerful children who rode horses in the city, hit and killed people, and left a house slave to take the crime, if you want to compare with the good officials, it is a complete and domineering gentleman.

Xu Wenmao deliberately came to save Uncle Zheng's face today, there are many powerful people in Nanjing, as he himself said, there are many marquis like dogs, and the officials of the six ministries are all over the place, what is an uncle?

Why did he come to save his uncle's face? Because today's Cao Gang's filial piety to the Duke of Xu is not trivial, and now the nobles are not in charge of the military, but because of this, the imperial court will turn a blind eye to the Xungui reaching out for silver, like the Cao Gang, that is the fat flowing oil, who doesn't want to come up and take two bites, the Cao Gang knows that they are powerful and eye-catching, so they not only do everything possible to respect the Caoyun Commander and the Caoyun Governor, but also do everything possible to the Nanjing magnates, such as Xu Guogong, the head of Nanjing's nobles, can you not do it!

The Duke of Xu's Mansion used to collect filial piety, which can be said to be a precedent, and he was not obliged to help Cao Gang come out, but starting from Xu Wenmao, it was the collection of Jinshan Yinhai, he said that he was famous, and the younger brother of the contemporary Xu Guogong was there! The monthly silver on the house is not enough to spend, what should I do, then I have to think of fishing, by chance, I met the people of the Cao Gang, how can the Cao Gang not stutter to people like him, come and go, the two ends are hot, at that time Xu Wenmao was only fifteen or sixteen years old, I have to say, people's courage is indeed proportional to their origin, for a peer, who dares to accept tens of thousands of taels of silver from others, but he dares to accept it.

In a few years, he has become one of the backers of the Cao Gang, as the top nobleman in Nanjing, he is indeed qualified to do it, and he has read, once the reader's brain is activated, the cheat and abduction are much more powerful than normal people, otherwise, why do those mountain kings try their best to find a show to come back as a think tank and be the second master!

His identity is indeed noble, but this is all stained with the light of his elder brother, he and Xu Guogong are the same mother, and the contemporary Xu Guogong has no son, but how many years can this be maintained? His elder brother is now in the prime of life, and it is not uncommon for him to live another thirty or forty years, so he set himself the goal of earning enough one million taels of silver before he is thirty years old.

Considering the purchasing power at that time, this million was about equal to 200 million in later generations, and it has to be said that the younger brother of Xu Guogong still had a very ambitious goal.

In this way, he has enough reason to hate Uncle Zheng Guo, why do you have a meritorious reputation, I have to be kicked out of the examination room if I impersonate to take the exam, why do I work hard to earn silver, but you can collect a silver mountain in Fusang, why do you have an ironclad ship under your hands, and I have to risk being impeached by the imperial history while I help the Cao Gang...... He wears a Confucian shirt cut from Wanshou silk in Maozhou, this Confucian shirt pays attention to the righteousness, but Wanshou silk has just been paid tribute to Yanjing by his elder brother, and is listed as a tribute, paying attention to gorgeousness, so it is quite nondescript, not to mention that no matter how noble his status is, he is not qualified to wear a Confucian shirt, but who dares to care about him in the whole Nanjing? Even if those imperial history are clear, who is willing to write a special fold because of a piece of clothing, I am afraid that the court will also scold a lot of things, there are too many things in this world, can you manage it!

Slapping his palm with a folding fan, Xu Wenmao scolded at the bow of the boat, "Hurry up, make way for grandpa, grandpa and I have a lot of adults, there is no such thing as a bento, otherwise, I will put down the water ghost here, the ironclad ship?" Hum! The bottom of the ship is also ironclad and can't be done? I will still dig a big hole for you. ”

The boat he took was a sand boat style, flat-bottomed, with a thousand materials, such ships were connected from head to end, and the river was stopped, but you can imagine how many ships, not to mention that the ship of the good official can't pass, and no one's boat can think about it, some well-informed people immediately shouted about it, Xu Guogong vs. Uncle Zheng Guo, but those who are serious about trading, crying bitterly in their hearts, you immortals fight, don't harm us mortals! This block, but it hurts us.

As for Xu Wenmao's title, there are many sycophants who call him his little grandfather, just like Yan Shifan in Jiajing Nian was made a small pavilion elder, which can be regarded as a common custom.

The northwest wind was blowing on the river, and the sound of the wind blew Xu Wenmao's loud voice onto the river, but countless people could hear it clearly, and one of the boats that was obviously also a military guard ship sneered, "Chisel through the ironclad ship? It seems that the Duke of Xu Guofu doesn't understand people, the ironclad ships are all watertight compartments, not to mention digging a big hole, digging three or five big holes, it may not be able to sink, our Ming noble! I've seen enough. ”

"Song Xiaole, shut up." A big man with slender eyebrows scolded the young man who spoke loudly, "Let's go south this time, it is to give the lord a relationship, and now the lord is on the cusp, although the court has commended, but the officials have been impeached countless times, let's just have a different way, see if we can make Yinzi know some officials of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, so that I can advocate for the lord, don't make trouble." ”

The young man known as Song Xiaole pursed the corners of his mouth, "Third brother, you want to keep a low profile!" Don't take the ship of Dengzhouwei! I really think that everyone else is a fool, Huludao and Dengzhouwei face each other across the sea, we took Dengzhouwei's warship, is it possible that a discerning person can't see our identity? ”

The third brother's face suddenly turned purple, but he was speechless for a while, so he had to glare at him fiercely, "It's one thing for others to know, but you are so open-mouthed and offended Xu Guogong, wouldn't it be bad." ”

"Even my military equipment can't figure it out, what's the big deal about offending such a noble." Song Xiaole muttered in a low voice, but he didn't say anything cool, just lying on the railing of the boat to watch the excitement.

At this time, the noise on the river finally woke up the obedient official, and he got up in a foggy way, closed his eyes and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Master." Béhori walked to the side of the bed and reached out to comb his hair, "Someone is blocking the waterway, it's been blocking it for almost two hours." ”

As she was talking, Xiao Qian came in from outside, with a look of annoyance, "I knew that it would wake up the young master, those people outside were too rude, it was okay to start first, but now they are all starting to scold, young master, I'll comb your hair for you." So saying, he walked over and took the comb from Berholy's hand.

"Sister Xiaoqian, your legs are not good yet! Let me do it! Although Bei Horui is older than Xiao Qian, but her eyesight is smart, she has a sister to Xiao Qian early, and the good official is also sympathetic to Xiao Qian, and smiled and said that she tied her hair in Fusang and came over, Xiao Qian heard this, so she silently combed the comb to Bei Horui, and Behory said what happened while combing the hair of the good official, Bao Yiman ironed the clothes of the good official, and the iron was a folk article since the Han Dynasty, called [Wei Dou], called [Jin Dou] in the Tang Dynasty, called [Fire Bucket] in the Song Dynasty, and now called [Jiao Dou] in the Ming Dynasty, The irons sold on the market generally have the inscription [Iron Straight Clothes] on the head.

The obedient official brushed his teeth and combed his hair, and at this time, the big head turned in angrily, "Young master, you can count it, if you don't get up again, I'm going to be angry, the guy on the other side actually dares to call himself grandpa, bastard thing, if you want to be in front of me, I cut his eggs with one knife......"

"Single big head." Xiao Qianjiao was disgusted, blushing and spitting at him, "How old are you, just say such pickled words, look at me if I don't tell the housekeeper......"

As soon as he heard that he was going to tell his father, his big head suddenly softened, "Good Sister Xiaoqian, I was wrong, my pants were wrong." Xiao Qian smiled, and then straightened her face, "Don't learn from the young master to speak." ”

At this time, the obedient official washed up and refreshed, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Big head, young master, I am talented in literature and martial arts, you don't learn it, how can you do this." The big head lowered his head, stretched out his hand and grabbed it on his head, "I think the young master has a big pedigree, and I can't learn this thing, so I can only learn how to speak the young master." ”

The obedient official couldn't cry or laugh, and deliberately lowered his face, "Hurry up and call Sun Yinglong in." "He has no one to call on now, even Hu Litao has been thrown in Fusang Town, there is no way, Fusang is now a place for him to make money, just like the early twentieth century in the later generations, European and American countries do not want China to be chaotic, because there are their interests, just like a certain philosopher said, every warlord has an imperialism behind it.

So the good official had to throw Zhongli and others in Fusang Town, Fusang can be dispersed, but it can't be messed up, this mess, how to deal with it! Who will dig for me in the gold mountain silver mine!

Don't think that a good official is good to Fusang, he is a great sage, pie will not fall from the sky, and the person who gives you a hundred yuan must be thinking about earning back a thousand yuan on you. Just as India was in chaos without British governance, more people died in the conflict than in World War II, but it cannot be denied that Britain has claimed huge benefits in India for hundreds of years.

Suddenly, the big boss led Xiao Douzi and Sun Yinglong in, Sun Yinglong's face was full of embarrassment, "Uncle Guo, the lower officials are not doing things effectively......

"Well, I didn't call you here to criticize you for your incompetence." The obedient official interrupted him, and then sarcastically said to him, "It seems that you are not very fat!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand, and Bao Yiman put on the long shirt for him, and tied the belt, as if he understood the master's thoughts, and she also buttoned Muramasa on the belt.

Dressed properly, the obedient official smiled, "Let's go, go out and take a look, I want to see how the younger brother of a national prince scared the thousands of households in the Fusi Yamen of Jinyiwei Nanjing Town." With that, he strode out of the cabin.
